When Xue Lan explained clearly the reason why Lu Bu couldn't return north for the time being, Lu Bu's parents, wife and daughter could understand that in fact, even if Lu Bu didn't return to Merge Prefecture and continued to stay in Luoyang, wouldn't Lu Jiawu Fort's life still have to go on?

Now Lu Bu's army is only more than 800 miles away from Wuyuan, although there are Southern Huns in the middle, but if he really wants to go back to his hometown for a turn, who can stop him? The cavalry galloped and could reach it in five days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 20,000 battle-hardened Tiance army, if it was just to return to Wuyuan, regardless of the cost of casualties, even if the Xianbei and Southern Huns joined forces, they would not be able to stop Lu Bu.

Because the cavalry and trapping camp are the strongest cavalry and infantry in the world, because Lu Bu is the bravest general in the world!

Xue Lan told the truth about the purpose of Lu Bu's sending him, and the Lu family naturally would not object, and let a dignified general help take care of the family and the hospital, this kind of waste of talent can also be done by the "nouveau riche" Lu Bu.

Speaking of which, the situation of the lack of martial arts under Lu Bu has not been improved until now. There are at least a dozen generals who can fight and fight, from first-class to third-rate. Scribes who can write and break can be counted on one hand, from first-class to third-rate.

Let's not mention how Lu Bu will recruit scribes in the future. However, it was said that after Xue Lan lived in the Lü Clanwu Fort, he was authorized by the head of the family, Lu Liang, and began to focus on improving and strengthening the defense in the fort.

In order to establish his authority, Xue Lan took four subordinates to gather all the family soldiers in the fort, and then first let the family soldiers and a few veterans go head-to-head, and the long and short weapons were chosen at will, and no one could defeat the four veterans brought by Xue Lan. The leader of the family soldiers named Lu Eighteen was a tie with the veteran.

Xue Lan didn't compete with Lu Eighteen, he just asked people to place the arrow target on the open space outside the dock fort, and then carried the quiver on his back to the battlement wall at the door of the dock fort, and shot a pot of arrows in the shortest time under the gaze of everyone.

When the target was brought in from outside the dock fort, all the soldiers of the Lu clan were stunned.

A full twenty arrows, all of which hit the bull's-eye, as if they had been poked by human hands in order. The distance that Xue Lan could shoot arrows was already the limit of the longbow he used, and the time it took him to shoot twenty arrows was less than one-third of that of others!

Xue Lan just showed his hand, and he established a high prestige in the hearts of the three hundred soldiers in the Lü Clan Fort.

Xue Lan said to the soldiers, "Do you think my archery skills are very good? Actually, compared to General Tiance's ability to ride and shoot immediately, I am still far behind! You are the soldiers of the Lu family, you have to fight to defend the family of Admiral Tiance, if you don't have superb archery skills, how can you talk about your identity to others? General Tiance sent me here to teach you the skills of fighting the enemy, are you willing to learn? ”

Lu 18 took the lead and said: "We are convinced, and we are willing to drive for the general!" ”

Lu Liang, who had been silently watching Xue Lan's words from a distance, nodded, took his granddaughter's hand, and walked away.

Next, what Xue Lan did opened the eyes of the people in the dock fort.

Xue Lan copied the unique method of improving the trust and cooperation of the team through games taught by Lu Bu in Yong'an, and copied it into Lujiabao!

In the eyes of the layman, team development is a game, but in the eyes of a general like Xue Lan, who has been leading the army for a long time, this is a very efficient training method. The defense of Lü's Dock Fort is limited, if you can't guarantee that everyone can work together, you can safely hand over your back to your companions in the face of a strong enemy, how can you withstand the continuous fierce attack of thousands of people with only 300 people?

Lu Liang had already delegated the power to Xue Lan, so he didn't interfere with these strange trainings he did, and the nine-year-old Lu Wen seemed to be very interested in these games, not only following the family soldiers to do serious actions, but also asking Xue Lan to get to the bottom of the matter between training.

This method was created by Lu Wen's father, and Xue Lan naturally wouldn't hide anything from Lu Wen.

While the soldiers were training as a team in the dock fort, Xue Lan quietly left the dock fort, carefully surveyed the terrain around the dock fort for twenty miles, and drew a sketch on paper.

After returning to the dock fort, Xue Lan asked Lu Liang to purchase a batch of stones and blue bricks to reinforce the four corners of the dock fort and the fort gate. It costs money to buy things, so Lu Liang asked the Huang family for money, and the Huang family asked the reason, and without hesitation, he gave Xue Lan a box of gold cakes and asked Xue Lan to spend it.

Seeing that the Lu family was so generous, Xue Lan suggested that the Lu family dig a tunnel near the north wall of the dock fort, that is, near the pigsty, through the fort wall and the ditch, to the back of the hillside, so that the personnel can be evacuated or the soldiers and horses can enter and exit at a critical time.

Lu Liang listened to Xue Lan's suggestion and smiled proudly. He quietly told Xue Lan that as early as twenty years ago, Lu Bu's grandfather had secretly sent someone to dig the tunnel, and now this tunnel had been dug to the north of the hillside, and a temple had been built at the entrance of the tunnel, which could be used immediately when needed.

Xue Lan is also very impressed by the Lu family's caution.

Soon, the stones and bricks were pulled back one by one, and Xue Lan personally took the lead and commanded the soldiers in the fort to wedge the stones into the rammed earth wall according to the requirements, and then wrap them with green bricks to ensure that the four corners of the dock fort and the fort gate were stronger and stronger.

After reinforcing the fort wall, Xue Lan led people into the mountain to cut down many tree trunks, sharpened one end of the trunk, and then inserted all the pointed ends into the trench.

After the fort was reinforced, Xue Lan began to formally train the soldiers in archery.

The Dock Fort's greatest strength is its defense, and the archers' greatest weakness on the battlefield is their own defenses. In order to carry more arrows and to draw the bow when shooting, the archers could only wear leather armor to protect the torso, and once approached by the enemy's cavalry or heavy infantry, it was a one-sided slaughter.

The dock fort is like a turtle shell, and the archer is a spike, and when the turtle's back is covered with spikes, it must be more of a headache for the enemy than a hedgehog with a soft belly.

Therefore, Dock Fort and Archer are the best combination of offense and defense.

When Xue Lan taught these family soldiers archery, it could be described as pouring out their hands. He patiently and meticulously taught everyone how to observe the moving target, how to test the effect of wind speed on the accuracy of the arrow, how to estimate the distance between the enemy and the enemy, and then set aside an appropriate amount of advance when shooting the arrow to ensure the accuracy of the hit.

He also taught his soldiers how to exercise arm strength, how to breathe evenly when shooting, and how to maintain body stability.

can be recruited by the Lu family, these family soldiers are definitely not rookies who don't know anything, and Lu Liang himself knows how to train soldiers, so the foundation of the Lu family's soldiers is there. Now, after Xue Lan's more professional guidance and systematic training, their archery skills have broken through the bottleneck of their personal skills, and the improvement is very obvious.

Archers who are able to shoot more accurately and faster in a unit of time are an absolute nightmare for the enemy.
