When the number of 3,000 recruits was full, there were still young people who rushed to Lishi to join the army, which made Lu Bu feel happy at the same time, but also a little distressed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just a few days ago, Zhang Liao sent back news from Anyi: the 30,000 displaced people who had been eliminated from Yang Feng's army would soon be escorted back to Xihe by Yang Feng, and there were some captives of the Southern Xiongnu who came with them, as well as hundreds of war horses, and the horses were carrying high-quality pond salt on their backs.

Lu Bu didn't expect Zhang Liao to give himself such a big surprise less than a month after going south. This surprise was even greater than the large amount of goods and livestock that Gao Shun had snatched back from the Qianghu people.

Although goods and livestock were also needed by Lu Bu, population was the most urgent need of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu never expected to come back by catching some Hu people to farm, weave, smelt iron and build weapons for himself, as long as the Hu people, whether they were Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan or Qianghu, they were all the same stupid and lazy, you don't need to whip them, they can steal and play tricks, eat and wait for death.

Only the Han people are the most industrious, the smartest, and the most organized labor, as long as you can ensure their basic living environment and conditions, they can give you a steady stream of wealth and miracles!

Lu Bu was not worried about the identity of the 30,000 Han people who were about to return to Xihe, whether they were once homeless or bandits, in Lu Bu's eyes, none of these people would be wasted. Even if he is a weak old man, he can instruct and supervise Hu Nu to work in the fields!

These civilians who returned from Hedong were easy to resettle, because they originally lived in Xihe County, and they were originally engaged in farming, but the Han men who came from other parts of Bingzhou to join the army could not be resettled in this way, because what they wanted to do was not farming, but to make a living licking blood on the edge of the knife.

The recruitment staff is already full, and if it is recruited again, it will disrupt the overall planning of the Tiance Army, and the most important thing is that the logistics of the Tiance Army are unable to support more troops. If he didn't recruit, Lu Bu felt that he had rejected the Han family man who came to defect this time, and the next time he wanted to recruit someone, no one would come.

Faced with such a problem, Lu Bu had no choice but to seek advice from Lu Zhi and Chen Gong.

The two military advisors deserved the title of wise and resourceful, and they each gave Lu Bu advice, although they were completely different, but they solved the problems encountered by Lu Bu very well.

Lu Zhi's suggestion was to set up test obstacles, and if the people who came to defect could pass the test, the next time the Tiance Army expanded its army, it would give priority to selecting people from among these people.

If you want to join the Tiance Army, you should first reclaim 20 acres of land around Lishi, and after passing the acceptance, you can become the next batch of candidates for recruiting the Tiance Army.

As a sign of sincerity, the Tiance Army provided tools and food to those who were willing to be tested, and half of the fields were owned by the cultivators.

Twenty acres of land may not sound like much, but it will take at least about a year to cultivate the wasteland by one person. A person who can endure hardships for a year is enough to prove his perseverance and perseverance, and such a person is exactly the type that Tiance Army wants to recruit the most. If you can't endure this hardship, you can choose to leave, or you can choose to become a farmer on the spot, and everyone will not suffer anyway.

Chen Gong's suggestion was to collect all these young men who came to vote in the future, and then send them to the Wangyi in Hedong in the form of county soldiers, so that the Wangyi could settle and provide for them. When it is necessary to expand the army in the future, we will transfer people back from Hedong.

Although the six counties in Hedong that Wang Yi now controls are barren, they are surrounded by mountains, and there are many wild crops in the mountains, but they are the areas that are least likely to starve to death during famine and war.

Chen Gong's proposal seems to be a bit of a diversion of trouble, but it is indeed easy to implement. Wang Yi, who is sandwiched between Yang Feng and Lu Bu, is actually living a better life than the Taishou of other states and counties, basically self-sufficient, self-managed, and does not have to suffer from the exploitation of the wealthy family, so there is no need to worry about the spread of war.

Since the suggestions of the two military advisors were so heartwarming, a lord like Lu Bu would naturally not easily veto any of them, and he adopted the suggestions of Lu Zhi and Chen Gong.

Lu Bu first hurriedly sent people to various places to spread new news, telling those who still wanted to come to join the Tiance Army that they would not use it for the time being, because the Tiance Army had already recruited enough people. As for the young men who were already on the road and had already arrived at Lishi, Lu Bu accepted all these people, first gave them a few full meals, and after these people rested and adjusted, he organized a concentrated physical strength test.

Whoever was able to run five laps around the stone city without cramping his legs was concentrated under the city gate to the north; Those who could not run down were gathered under the southern gates.

According to statistics, there are more than 3,000 people who can run five laps, and more than 5,000 people who can't.

Subsequently, Lu Bu sent Han Wei to send these more than 3,000 people to Hedong to surrender to Wangyi to manage, and first serve as Hedong County soldiers. Han Wei temporarily stayed in Jiangyi to help Wang Yi train his troops. With the population of the six counties that Wang Yi now manages, it is not a big problem to support more than 3,000 additional soldiers. On average, a county only needs to support 500 soldiers.

As for the more than 5,000 people who couldn't run, Lu Bu told these people that their physical strength was insufficient and they needed to be exercised, and as for how to exercise, just refer to the military cantonment carried out by the Tiance Army in Xihe!

Lu Bu's reasons are very sufficient, those who are willing to stay and participate in Tuntian, after training in the future, may have the opportunity to join the army, and those who are unwilling to stay are not embarrassed by Lu Bu, but they are really not suitable, and they can't blame Lu Bu if they can't stay.

In the end, among the more than 5,000 people, more than 3,000 expressed their willingness to stay and be trained and tested. Of course, Lu Bu warmly welcomed this.

Regardless of whether these young people can join the army in the future, at least they can become good laborers in farming!

The troubles and problems were solved, and while Yang Feng's men had not yet arrived in Xihe, Lu Bu seized the time to completely complete the reorganization and expansion of the troops.

The county soldiers brought back from Jinyang were directly disrupted and distributed to the battalions. The 1,000 alien cavalry selected from the captives first carried out a profound ideological transformation on them in accordance with previous experience, and then they were also disrupted and evenly distributed among the battalions, ensuring that the alien cavalry would always be only a minority in the main battalion.

The 3,000 Han recruits selected from the more than 10,000 defectors were handed over to Gao Shun for intensive training, and when the recruits finished training for half a year, they were evenly distributed to the four infantry and cavalry mixed battalions outside the flying cavalry battalion, and then through the method of bringing the old with the new, they eventually grew into the elite of a hundred battles.

In order not to make the 4,000 soldiers in Jinyang feel that they were forgotten by the Tiance army, Lu Bu gave these 4,000 people a new battalion name - the left battalion.

Well, since the left battalion on the Jinyang side, the newly established one on the Lishi side is naturally the left second battalion.
