Since Liu Yu pacified the bandits and Zhang Ju returned to Shun, Liu Yu has collected more than 10,000 bandits, plus the 2,000 soldiers brought by Liu Yu from Liu Yu, more than 1,000 county soldiers, and more than 4,000 people from various prefectures, Liu Yu now has nearly 20,000 troops.

Liu Yu knew that his army was not enough to see in front of those big princes, and now that most of the county affairs were pacified, Liu Yu was able to free up his hands to train the soldiers, and after the previous war when he pacified the bandits, the problems of the soldiers on the battlefield were exposed one by one, and they must be solved.
The army under Liu Yu's command has been in battle for a long time with the 2,000 elite soldiers given by Liu Yu, well-trained, and the most elite, and these two thousand elite soldiers are all light cavalry, the soldiers are all elite men between 20 and 40 years old, and the elder brother is brave, and there are more than 1,400 remaining county soldiers who can also be regarded as veterans, all of whom were left from the period of Zhang Chun's rebellion.
And the rest of the people are either the families supported by the gentry, or the bandits who surrendered, they have no combat experience, they will only swarm when they fight, they don't understand the change of formations, and they don't understand combat skills, these people are like newly recruited recruits, and they are the most difficult to train.
In order to train the soldiers as soon as possible, Liu Yu found Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Zhang Fan, Yan Zhi and others to explain his intention to train the soldiers, and asked them to start arranging and training.
After careful consideration, combined with the actual situation of his subordinates, Liu Yu asked the county soldiers and the light cavalry brought by Liu Yu to train first according to the previous training methods, and for the remaining people, Liu Yu did not directly practice formation changes, nor did he practice combat skills, but taught them to recognize flags, recognize golden drums, and know how to advance and retreat.
After everyone had almost practiced this, Liu Yu gathered everyone, selected strong men according to their personal abilities and strengths, and organized all the soldiers into cavalry, infantry, archers and scouts. There were 4,000 cavalry troops, 8,000 infantry troops, 2,000 archers, 20 scouts, and the rest were either physically poor or older, and Liu Yu sent them all home for farming.
The cavalry team was handed over to Zhang Liao, the replenishment team was handed over to Dian Wei, the archers were handed over to Zhang Fan and Yan Zhi to command, and the scout team was selected by Liu Yu to manage a talent with outstanding ability.
The cavalry team of 5,000 people is divided into five songs, the infantry team is divided into eight songs, and the archers team is divided into two songs, of which the cavalry team and the infantry team are temporarily vacant, and Liu Yu is ready to be selected and appointed in the training, and the two song captains of the archers are Zhang Fan and Yan Zhi respectively. After the reorganization of the soldiers, the problems existing in the soldiers were sorted out in a unified manner, and a solution was come up with.
Liu Yu handed over the cavalry directly to Zhang Liao for self-training, Zhang Liao used to be a county lieutenant, and he would train soldiers on weekdays, and Zhang Liao was familiar with reading military books since he was a child, and Liu Yu was also very relieved of his ability.
Although Dian Wei is brave, his command ability is very average, but Dian Wei doesn't know a few big characters, and he can't read the military book at all, Liu Yu has the intention to improve his ability and can do nothing, so he can only improve it in actual combat in the future, so Liu Yu will train the infantry according to the original battle formation, and at the same time let the soldiers learn how to cooperate with several people, so that even if the soldiers have just been separated from the battle formation, they can quickly achieve several people to cooperate with the enemy, causing the greatest loss to the enemy.
In order to let several people cooperate with the training, Liu Yu divided the soldiers into a song for a thousand, a team of 100 people, 50 for a tun, 10 for a tithe, and five for a team.
The strength of five people gathered together, it will definitely be better than one person, if it can be coordinated well on the battlefield, it is possible to kill twice as much as the enemy in peacetime, and secondly, let the soldiers cooperate with each other can also improve the soldiers' adaptability on the battlefield, it is better to encounter cavalry charges, and they can also be separated immediately to reduce losses.
After the overall plan was formulated, Liu Yu formulated the daily training tasks of the infantry team.
In the morning, students will learn to identify the left and right, identify the flag, obey the order, and make scheduling arrangements. Adopting the method of veterans teaching recruits to train, these types of appearances are relatively simple, and there is not much to remember, Liu Yu only spent some more time in the first few days, and then began to shorten the training time of this project.
At noon, the training of the formation and combat skills includes sprinting and killing, advancing and retreating, etc., while training the soldier's awareness of obeying orders. Liu Yu combined the experience of military training in later generations, combined with the merits of military training, and then cooperated with the actual training in front of him.
In the evening, it is a training of physical fitness, push-ups, long-distance running, frog jumping, squats and so on.
In addition to these items, the training of archers also requires an additional training in archery.
In the first two days, the soldiers complained one after another, but Liu Yu did not back down at all, and set up a military judge in the army. At the same time, Liu Yu himself also trained with the soldiers, the body is the capital of the revolution, and only a good body can better fight the world.
Liu Yu's military law was strict, and after being beheaded one after another, the soldiers did not move, but trained harder, and the effect of training became more and more obvious. After the soldiers entered the training state, Liu Yu also knew that the soldiers had a lot of training, so he arranged for an extra meal every day, and at the same time had to eat meat every day.
Every five days of training, Liu Yu gave these soldiers a day of rest, let them discuss with each other, think about what they have learned in these five days, after a day of rest, Liu Yu will organize some competitions, the content of the competition is nothing more than two people fighting and competing and other actual combat, the reward of the game is according to the performance of the soldiers, selected as the captain, if the captain performs well, he can be promoted to the chief, and the chief can be promoted to the captain, and the captain is selected to be in charge of the army.
With this temptation, the enthusiasm of the soldiers is unprecedentedly high, what are the soldiers for? It's not for promotion to make a fortune. The training of the soldiers is becoming more and more serious, although the combat training has begun, and the tasks are heavier, but the soldiers are very excited, everyone is looking forward to the opportunity to run, and before they know it, they have trained for heavier tasks.
Every time he competes, Liu Yu will do what he says, choose the captain, the captain, and the captain who is not good at the beginning, and the captain will also be demoted by Liu Yu, Liu Yu is to do this, only by doing so can the soldiers train harder.
In less than half a month, Liu Yu felt that the training effect was good, and then Liu Yu integrated all the soldiers together for training, this time the requirements were strict, and if the requirements were not met, not only the individual soldiers would be punished, but also the commanders who were responsible for training these soldiers.
Liu Yu's method gives ordinary soldiers a great opportunity, and those who are good will be promoted directly, and those who do not perform well will be demoted, full of competition, so in order to be promoted or in order to keep their positions, the soldiers are all working hard with full energy, whether it is a soldier, or a captain, a captain, or even a captain is training hard.
Zhang Liao saw all this in his eyes, and was full of admiration for Liu Yu, he had trained soldiers in the county before, but he had never seen soldiers so enthusiastic, and now these soldiers seemed to be very happy to train, and they didn't feel tired at all.
Liu Yu returned to Taishou Mansion and told his subordinates about his training methods and effects.
Tian Yu pondered: "The lord's method is very good, it can greatly encourage the enthusiasm of the soldiers, but there is still a little flaw, there will inevitably be opportunistic people in the army, if they are promoted, it will make them dissatisfied." ”
Liu Yu asked thoughtfully: "What is the good policy of the national concession?" ”
Tian Yu said slowly: "Actually, it's very simple, the lord can set up a challenge link, when a chief is promoted to a captain or captain, you can give the replaced commander or captain a chance, let him challenge the chief, if he wins, he doesn't have to be replaced, if he fails, then he has to be replaced." As for the selection between the captains, there is no need to do this. ”
"The country is really talented." Liu Yu praised sincerely.
Liu Yu applied this method to the army, and the effect was really good, and the soldiers were even more excited. Liu Yu took this opportunity to step up the training of soldiers, seeing that the soldiers cooperated well with each other, and believed that they could respond quickly even in the face of emergencies, Liu Yu handed over the training to Zhang Liao to be fully responsible, and he returned to the Taishou Mansion
