Returning to Yaozhou, Li Shan went directly to the Yaozhou Assassin's Mansion to prepare to deal with the affairs of the army.

Yaozhou Assassin Shi didn't expect Li Shan to come back so quietly, and he was caught off guard.

The troops have been assembled, and they hurriedly reported to Li Shan about the gathering of troops, "This time, a total of 38,000 elite soldiers have been drawn from the military camps in Yaozhou and other places. ”

Although it is nominally 50,000 people, there are only so many troops in the four states here, and being able to draw out more than 30,000 people has already met Li Shan's expectations, Li Shan put the roster on the table and said: "Okay, take me to the barracks immediately, I want to see the combat strength of the army." ”

Yaozhou Assassin Shi said nervously: "My lord, you should rest first after you have a long journey, and it will not be too late to go to the military camp tomorrow." "Li Shan didn't have time to ink, the war was about to break out, no one knew when the Yue Xi edict would start, the time was pressing, Yaozhou Assassin Shi couldn't stop it, and hurriedly followed.

In the Yaozhou barracks,

Now that it is full of people, Yaozhou Assassin Shi said respectfully: "My lord, you see, our army is the elite mobilized by various states, all of them are young and strong men, well-trained, and dare to fight. ”

Seeing that Li Shan's face was not good, Yaozhou Thorn Shi also quickly shut up.

Li Shan entered the barracks, and as far as the eye could see, several shirtless men were making noise, some were drying clothes, and some were sleeping. Although it is now noon, and May in Yunnan is also hot to death, there is no military appearance at all. It is simply a group of rabble, which is much worse than the Liangzhou army led by Li Shan before.

After all, there has been no war here for many years, no better than Liangzhou. The most important thing is that Li Shan and Yao Zhou Thorn Shi have been standing at the gate of the barracks for a cup of time, and they haven't even found them, it seems that someone has found out, but they don't think they should line up to greet them. As a military man. There is no sense of obedience, there is no concept of superiority and superiority, this is absolutely not allowed.

"Let's go, let's go to the tent and have a look." Li Shan walked straight towards the tent.

The tent is where the general works every day, but Li Shan is not there these days, so the deputy generals of various states will handle military affairs here. Li Shan walked to the handsome tent. Listening to the voices of "big big", "little little", "oops", "damn" and so on in the tent, several lieutenants were actually gambling money.

Yaozhou Thorn Shi was also taken aback, seeing Li Shan's face becoming more and more gloomy, Yao Zhou Thorn Shi hurriedly kicked in the door and said loudly: "General Li is here, what are you doing?" Hurry up and pack up this inconsistency thing. ”

Before the lieutenants could figure out what was going on, they stared at each other for a long time before they realized that this kid in his early twenties in cloth clothes was actually their general.

Although this matter was difficult to accept, but looking at Yaozhou's nervous appearance, several people also hurriedly put away the dice pai gow and moved the chair for Li Shan to sit down. Stand aside respectfully.

Li Shan just sat down, and before he could speak, he listened to a rough laugh in the inner hall of the military tent: "This little girl is really energetic, brothers, it's your turn, it's time for Lao Tzu." ”

I watched an adjutant with a beard come out of the inner hall, shirtless. The trouser belt on the lower body has not been fastened. Yaozhou's face had turned the color of pig gall, and he looked at the deputy general vigorously. He was also taken aback when he saw the appearance of Yaozhou's assassin. I felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and I didn't dare to be presumptuous, so I moved it cautiously.

Yaozhou Thorn Shi said angrily to the bearded deputy general: "This is General Li, and he still doesn't kneel down to plead guilty." ”

The bearded general hurriedly knelt down and explained, "General, that one inside is Sister Yao." Wishful thinking, I didn't do anything hurtful! ”

Obviously, he didn't realize his mistake enough, but Li Shan didn't decide to punish him for the time being, so it was difficult to convince the public.

Li Shan said to Yaozhou Assassin Shi: "You hurry up and get the woman inside, and now I will deal with the affairs in the barracks." Go back. ”

Seeing that Li Shan had no intention of asking the teacher, Yaozhou Assassin Shi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly slipped away.

Li Shan's eyes swept over the eight lieutenant generals, and said slowly: "Okay, General Ben didn't see today's matter, during this time, General Ben went out for something, he was not in the army, and he was negligent in management." Therefore, the blame is not all on you, you are not personally led by me as soldiers, and I can also open up to you. From today onwards, you will be under the command of this general, and today things are not allowed to happen again, you may not understand the temper of this general, I will make it clear to you now, you open your elm ears and listen to me. First, obedience is the duty of a soldier, and a soldier must unconditionally obey the orders of his superiors at all times. Second, the order is forbidden, I don't want to say what I've said a second time, I don't want to mention my request a second time, I can't remember that it's your own business. Third, rewards and punishments are clear, and meritorious deeds must be rewarded and punishments must be punished. ”

This army is too rough for Li Shan, whether it is the quality of the soldiers or the ability of the generals are a lot worse, the combat effectiveness is very weak, it is no wonder that several attacks on Nanzhao by the Tang Dynasty in history were defeated, and the superior strength of tens of thousands of people was wiped out by others.

But Li Shan did not allow his soldiers to be like this, there was not much time left, and he needed to improve the combat effectiveness of this unit in a short time.

"Got it?" Looking at the absent-minded appearance of the eight lieutenants, Li Shan asked sharply.

"Understood." Several lieutenants obviously didn't take Li Shan's words to heart, and from the beginning of their surprise, they were caught gambling money and ****, all of which were punished.

Unexpectedly, Li Shan couldn't help but punish them, and Li Shan himself was so young, he couldn't help but make these lieutenants despise him. Li Shan also knew their mental activities at this time, so he didn't say much. To deal with these people, what is needed is thunderous means, and it is useless to just play lip service.

"The army is the army, and today's events have seriously affected discipline in the army. I promise you not to hold you accountable, but there will still be people who will be punished for it. Now you gather all the sergeants, and I will have a general meeting of the whole army. ”

The eight lieutenant generals still didn't dare to stop Li Shan's words, and hurried to gather troops.

"Soldiers, I am your general, Li Shan. Today, all kinds of bad incidents have occurred in the barracks, some people gamble, and some people ****. However, I will not pursue you for today's matter. Improper management, failure to meet military orders, my fault. The general committed the same crime as the soldier, and left his post without permission, and received thirty rods. ”

Li Shan walked up to the execution platform and took off his shirt. The sergeants below all gasped, Li Shan's chest had a big scar, and there were also multiple knife wounds on his shoulders and back, which were left from Liangzhou.

The people who really experienced the war are incomparable to those who have only been trained in the barracks. None of them have actually been on the battlefield now.

The spine stick hit Li Shan's back, the skin opened and the flesh bloomed, and Li Shan's brows did not wrinkle. After thirty beatings, Li Shan's back was already full of blood, but Li Shan didn't care at all, and said loudly: "I heard that you are the elite troops of the four states, in my opinion, you are a group of rabble, from today onwards, I will train you and make you a real steel division." If you can't accept it, I'm sorry, you don't have any other choice. From now on, all men must have their uniforms neat and their knives and guns sharp. Anyone who violates it shall be disbanded by military law. (To be continued.) )
