The situation in Jiaozhou naturally spread to Yanzhou and Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun was also surprised by the changes in Jiaozhou, and he didn't expect that this governor of Jiaozhou, the king of Lingnan County, who was willing to be independent and did not obey Murong Cheng's orders, was actually killed by his subordinates. Although there is Situ Lei's plan in it, as the lord of a state, he can ignore the threat of the two princes around him, and he can be independent without hesitation, and now he is unsuspectingly killed by his own subordinate generals, this news makes Zhao Xun sound a little difficult to accept.

In Zhao Xun's view, Zhangtao, the governor of Jiaozhou and the king of Lingnan County, is definitely a bold and careful hero, who can survive in the gap between the two opposing princes around him, and can be independent, which is by no means something that ordinary people can do. You must know that Zhang Tao was able to sit on the position of governor of Jiaozhou thanks to Murong Cheng's promotion, so it can be said that Zhang Tao betrayed Murong Cheng's trust. But he still did not hesitate to ask for control of Jiaozhou, which shows that this person is cunning. However, being done by his own people like this made Zhao Xun a little dizzy.

Speaking of which, the news had already reached a few days ago, but Zhao Xun was busy dealing with Wei Qingyun's attack, so he ignored it. But now, the work has been completed, all the armies are busy expanding, reorganizing, and training, and local affairs have also been taken over by Xu Jie's people, so Zhao Xun is naturally a little idle.

Of course, Zhao Xun can't interfere with the situation in Jiaozhou, let alone want to interfere. However, Zhao Xun still valued a place in the southeastern part of the war, Qiongzhou, that is, Hainan Island. In fact, Zhao Xun is more like Liuqiu, that is, Taiwan. It's a pity that the land of exile has been taken by the Yangzhou Navy, and it is not something that Zhao Xun can get at all.

"Qiongzhou...... Qiongzhou, at that time, it was good to build a seaport and even immigrants, and there was a base in the south. It's just that there's something dangerous here. It is too close to Jiaozhou, and faces the threat of the Yangzhou Navy in the north. However, the Yangzhou Navy does not seem to have any intention of stationing in Qiongzhou. Zhao Xun pondered secretly.

These things will be difficult to decide for a while, so Zhao Xun simply sent a secret order to Youzhou and asked Youzhou to talk to Murong Cheng. After all, Murong Cheng destroyed all the maritime trade ports in Jiaozhou, and suddenly made the northern merchant ships go south in Jiaozhou, with no place to stay, no place to replenish the resources and trade needed. It is not a very outrageous thing for the Xiaoguo Army to ask him for an island outside the sea of Jiaozhou, where he is not watched.

On the platform of Zhao Xunchengnan's campus, on the wide school field in front of him, there were teams of soldiers receiving training. Due to the presence of recruits, veterans, and pawns, it is still difficult to integrate them for a while. Looking at the somewhat messy formations among the various teams, Zhao Xun couldn't help but shake his head. If it had not been confirmed that the Wuwei Army had no intention of leading the army north to attack him, Zhao Xun would not have directly broken up the whole army and completely reorganized. In this way, the entire army will completely lose its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, without the slightest cooperation.

Fengwei County is the place where the Shanyang Army needs to defend the front line of the Wuwei Army, so there are three cities that have been trained here. Among them, the cavalry was trained in the wilderness outside the city, after all, the cavalry could not be trained in a fixed, small place. Looking at these nearly 10,000 young and strong men, there are old pawns, new pawns, and descended pawns among them, but they are all over 18 years old and under 30 years old.

The army under Zhao Xun's command first focuses on discipline and obedience, and everything else can be ranked second, and the first place is always discipline and obedience.

"See, this is the gap between the old pawn, the new pawn and the reduced pawn. Speaking of which, the combat power of the soldiers is stronger than that of the new soldiers, but they are indeed a part of the army that is difficult to reorganize. Zhao Xun pointed to a squad of 200 people in front of him, and said to several lieutenants and lieutenants around him.

Lu Yu followed what Zhao Xun was pointing at, and after looking at the standing posture of the two hundred or so soldiers, his brows immediately furrowed. Some of these people turned out to be veterans of the Shanyang Army, and they stood like pines and cypresses, not moving at all. Some of them were new pawns, and they staggered, but nothing else. But there is another group of soldiers, who stand in the team laughing and talking non-stop, one by one they stand crookedly and crookedly, and even the new pawns around them will be affected by them.

No matter what Lu Yu and the others thought, looking at these soldiers, Zhao Xun sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder when the recruits in later generations joined the army, the recruits had to start training from the most basic queue, and that was still in the era of hot weapons. Replaced with the current strict queue and strict discipline in the era of cold weapons, it is even more important. An army that can maintain a tight formation at any time is a disciplined army of tigers and wolves, and vice versa.

"Stand up for me, see how dozens of them are standing, and now they all have them, legs together, guns in one hand, standing on the ground...... No one is allowed to move, no one is allowed to move without my order......," the officer began to shout sternly.

"Bang ......" The long whip in the officer's hand was whipped down fiercely, and he shouted angrily: "I said, you are not allowed to fuck move, you are deaf?" Stand up. If you can't, you'll stand until the evening, when you're qualified, when you're ready. You're all the same, stand up for me. ”

After the whip was on the body, these soldiers did not dare to disobey in the slightest, although they did not understand why they had to stand stupidly for such a long time, the people standing were dizzy and their arms were sore, but they did not dare to disobey, the taste of being whipped was not pleasant.

"The amount of training must be doubled, and within three days, let them stand in a standing state, march and march, those who are unqualified, those who do not obey military orders, will be cleared out of the camp, and those who are strict will be killed on the spot!" Looking at the several teams in the distance, there were soldiers talking back to the officers, Zhao Xun said coldly, "Now it's not in Shanyang Mansion, it's not in a safe place, I'm really on the front line, and there are still wavering Yanzhou Mansion troops in the rear, I don't want these soldiers to be delayed for too long." It was ordered that there should be ten poorly trained soldiers at each post every day, and that no meat should be eaten during the day. For three consecutive days, the last ten were cleared out of the camp. ”

Lu Yu and the others also understood that the current situation was urgent, so they did not raise any objections, and they all agreed.

On the third day of training, Zhao Xun received a joint dispatch order from Situ Wen and Xu Jie. Without him, because on the Eastern Front, the Wuwei Army fought the Yanzhou Mansion Army very badly, and the Yanzhou Mansion Army was about to be unable to resist, so I hoped that the Shanyang Army would continue to move south, attack the Wuwei Army, and share the pressure on the Yanzhou Mansion Army on the Eastern Front.

"It's beautiful! General, don't pay attention to this matter at all, all the food and grass materials of our army are raised by ourselves, and even the matter of conscription was reprimanded by Xu Jie. Now that there is a problem, it comes to mind, no way. Guan Lin said in a humming voice.

Lu Yu also nodded and said: "I agree, I can't help but ignore it, it has been more than half a month since the troops were dispatched, we have not received any benefits, but have been reprimanded by Xu Jie, there are difficulties, we are needed, so we came to beg us with kind words, we should not go south." Of course, the most important thing is that our current team is still training, and there is no power to fight against the Armed Guards. ”

Seeing Zhang Yongxue silent on the side, Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Zhang Duwei, do you have any opinions, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, and let everyone listen to it if you say it." ”

Zhang Yongxue hesitated slightly, and said: "We can support until we can support, and it won't let us have too much loss, we only need to let the Sandu army go out of Fengwei County and move south, and the Wuwei Army will not dare to only manage the eastern front, and ignore our army on the western front." Wait for the retreat of the eastern front to relax, and we can slowly withdraw. Of course, whether to save or not to rescue is another matter. The subordinates thought that we could not save it. In order to regain Yanzhou Mansion, he also laid down nearly 10,000 troops in the rear of our army, wanting to take advantage of the battle between our army and the Wuwei Army, cut off the back road of our army and annihilate our army. ”

"Now, the Wuwei army has the advantage, although Xu Jie will be defeated, but the whole army will not die here. The decline of the Yanzhou government army is naturally the best time for us to rise. Even, even, it is not impossible to take down Xu Jie's territory. Zhang Yongxue's eyes flashed.

Indeed, as Zhang Yongxue said, it is still possible to contribute something to Xu Jie, or even reduce his pressure. As long as there are more than 15,000 troops in Fengwei County, including 5,000 cavalry, they will move south together, and they will ask for help if they are afraid that the Wuwei army in Chenliufu in the south will be in a hurry. At that time, the pressure on the Yanzhou Army on the Eastern Front will naturally be reduced or even disappear because of the advance of the Shanyang Army on the Western Front. However, will Zhao Xun do such a good thing? Of course not, Xu Jie's is not a good thing, the Shanyang army has been out for more than half a month, fighting hard for more than ten days, and capturing the land of three counties, but it is not unfortunate that he has not received any support and rewards from the rear, but has been repeatedly reprimanded. It's no wonder if Zhao Xun wasn't annoyed, if it weren't for your insistence, how could my Shanyang Army beat your local treasury and people's ideas?

Of course, the above words, Zhao Xun said to his subordinates, what he thought in his heart, Zhao Xun himself knew. For this place, Zhao Xun didn't plan to do things for Xu Jie.

"Tang Li, reply to the rear, and say that the Shanyang Army fought with the Wuwei Army a few days ago and suffered heavy losses. Now that we are being conscripted for emergency conscription and urgent training, if we want to return to our previous state, I am afraid that it will only take a month. Judging from the current situation, the dispatch of the army will only deliver meat to the mouth of the Wuwei army. Zhao Xun said slowly.

Lu Yu said with some concern: "In this way, will it anger Xu Jie and Situ Wen?" If they don't react when they see us, will something happen? ”

Lu Yu's worries are not unreasonable, after all, there are more than 10,000 regular soldiers in Yanzhou Mansion, if Zhao Xun really supports, these 10,000 people are the most powerful weapon. But now that Zhao Xun said so, that is on the surface, and the Shanyang Army has no intention of sending troops to support.

Zhao Xun said coldly: "Give the Yanzhou Mansion another order, let the right capital be ready, if the Yanzhou Mansion army dares to enter, kill it!" If he Xu Jie, if he dares to make a move, we don't mind working with the Wu Weijun first to destroy his Yanzhou Mansion Army. Of course, the premise is that Szeto agrees. ”

As far as the current situation is concerned, Situ Wen naturally will not let Xu Jie do anything to the Shanyang Army. The Yanzhou Mansion Army is no longer the opponent of the Wuwei Army, and if it fights with the Shanyang Army again, the land of Yanzhou will be over. Of course, it is Xu Jie, who is also Situ Wen, and he can't sit back and watch Xu Jie's nonsense.

"Ignore it, keep training, the most important thing is to restore the strength of the army. If the whole army were to regain its former combat strength, we would naturally not have to fear any unexpected circumstances. If our combat strength is not restored, no matter how well we shout our slogans, it will be difficult to deal with them. Let's go, and I'll train the army with you. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

It started with standing, followed by a line-up, heavily armed cross-country march with some basic physical training. When that's done, it's the real art of weaponry.

Swords and spears were the most common weapons used by soldiers, and of course, even archers were equipped with long knives. You can't count on them to fight in close quarters, so let's take arrows and fight the enemy. In order to make the soldiers build up combat power as quickly as possible, the first training of the soldiers is to bayonet guns and slash with knives. In the army, complex moves are not as good as simple moves. What the soldiers need is to kill their opponents in the simplest, quickest, and least effort-effective way.

In mid-September, the training had reached more than half a month, and after the training had been doubled and there was meat every day, the total number of soldiers in the five capitals had still been eliminated by more than 600 people. As you can imagine, this training is heavy. However, after more than half a month of training, the soldiers have improved rapidly in terms of body, spirit, and will. Although I dare not say that it can be compared with before, I can also fight on the battlefield. What is needed now is some intensive training and battle formation training. After all, in the era of cold weapons, battle formations are also indispensable, especially for large groups of foot soldiers, which have a great effect.
