Wen Yuan fell asleep with joy, and many of the soldiers under his command were excited and couldn't sleep, this time to send troops, Wen Yuan fulfilled his promise and gave the three components of the captured to the generals under his command.

No one got a thousand dollars each, and if living expenses were not taken into account, this harvest alone would be worth almost two months' military salary for one person.

It's just that some people are happy and some are worried, when Wenyuan returned to the normal trajectory of life, Yangjiawu Fort was looted by black mountain thieves, and the news of the annihilation of the whole clan spread throughout Julu County within a few days.

Julu Taishou was worried in his heart, and strictly ordered the counties to reorganize their armaments, repair the city defenses, and repair three documents in a row in one day in front of the Jizhou Mu Hanfu case, requesting the dispatch of troops and horses to exterminate the bandits.

At this time, the Kwantung Heroes were secretly attacking Dong Zhuo, Han Fu did not dare to be distracted, and invited the civil and military to come to discuss, and finally Naxin commented on the strategy, Julu counties recruited five hundred township brave regiments to practice for self-protection, and the required grain and grass equipment were shared by the two prefectures and counties.

When he heard the news, it was already ten days after Wen Yuan attacked Yangjiabao. When the messenger arrived, Wen Yuan was leading a group of soldiers to practice in the school field, and everything was as usual.

At first hearing the news, Wen Yuan was a little happy, anyway, the state and county will bear the cost of training, and if they don't practice, they won't practice in vain, and as soon as they thought of the big war that was about to start in the coming year, Wen Yuan changed his mind, and transferred the elite from the original army to the regular army, and recruited 2,000 new soldiers to be incorporated into the army!

In the first battle of Yangjiabao, Wen Yuan's soldiers were killed 41 people and nearly 100 wounded, Wen Yuan had more than 1,300 regular soldiers and 1,500 soldiers under Wen Yuan's command at this time, plus 2,000 soldiers, Wen Yuan's strength was already close to 5,000! This is almost unimaginable for the county town of Xiaquyang, which has a population of less than 30,000, if it weren't for Wen Yuan's previous big profit, just supporting 5,000 people to eat and drink would be enough to make Wen Yuan's temples gray.

But now that Wen Yuan is rich, it is no longer a poor egg who is anxious all day long because of the problem of food and grass, if the grain seized last time is only for three thousand soldiers, it is enough to support a year and a half! Even if you count the families of military households, it is enough for them to eat for half a year. What's more, next year, Wen Yuan is going to lead the army to follow Han Fu to attack Dong Zhuo, and he will eat a public meal, so he will recruit another 2,000 soldiers, and Wen Yuan will accept it.

What's more, Wen Yuan has more than 1,000 soldiers in his hands, and he will not be idle during this period before the autumn harvest, in the past few days, Wen Yuan has ordered the two soldiers under his command to attack in turn according to the thief's lair visited by Wang Li, and successively leveled the three nearby bandits, not only calming the public security situation in Xiaquyang, but also bringing back thousands of grains and grass.

That night, Zhang Jaw led the crowd back with more than 100 carts of loot, and as soon as Wen Yuan discussed with him, Zhang Jaw immediately agreed.

So Wen Yuan posted a proclamation to recruit soldiers to resist Montenegro!

As soon as the recruitment notice was posted, Xia Quyang suddenly boiled, and the people in the county had long seen the benefits of becoming a corporal under Wen Yuan, not only could the soldiers eat three meals a day, but also had meat to eat every day when they participated in training, but the most eye-catching thing was that once they joined the military household, they could also get fifty acres of land, so many benefits, how not to let Xia Quyang be active and enthusiastic.

On the day of recruitment, the people of Xiaquyang poured out of the city again, and the campus in the south of the city was surrounded by a sea of people, and four or five thousand young people were all worried in their hearts, waiting for the screening of the officers under Wen Yuan's command.

Seeing that the recruitment scene was so lively, especially looking at the envious and adoring eyes of those young men when they looked at him, the soldiers under Wen Yuan's command were full of pride and pride, and they couldn't help but bulge their chests and stomachs one by one, and they were full of energy, but they imagined that in the near future, these recruits would also serve with military sticks like they had at the beginning, and they couldn't help but laugh evilly.

Jizhou is slightly richer than other states in Dahan, and the people's lives are not too hard, so the physical fitness of the people is generally stronger than that of other states and counties, but Wenyuan's recruitment of soldiers has extremely strict requirements for character, and the people who can be recruited must be well-developed, simple-minded, honest, law-abiding, obedient to the government, dare to fight tough battles, dare to charge and not be afraid of death, and have a muscular man with a stunned character.

After such a careful selection, only 1,700 people were selected. Wen Yuan first incorporated all these people into the army, and then drew more than 1,200 people from the original army to transfer them to the regular army, forming two parts and one song, a total of more than 2,600 regular soldiers, including two infantry units, more than 2,000 people, Wen Yuan and Zhang Jaw each led one, and the archers were more than 500 songs.

After three or five days of such busy work, the recruitment activity was over, and the selected ones were rejoicing one by one, while the losers were gloomy.

According to the precedent, the newly recruited more than 1,000 people should be given a share of 50 acres of land, but now the weather is freezing and the land is freezing, and the work of clearing the land can only be done together with the spring ploughing of the next year, although the planting may be a few days later, but it will not affect the autumn harvest.

On the eighth day of December, Laba Festival, it finally snowed heavily, and there was no training in Wenyuan's camp that day. However, his wandering was not aimless, but made a beeline for the city's blacksmith shop.

In the battle of Yangjiabao, Wen Yuan lost 41 people, and then 16 people were seriously injured due to the cold weather, and then two battles to encircle and suppress small bandits, and 13 people were killed and died of illness in succession, just 10 days, Wen Yuan's infantry casualties 70 people!

In the past ten days, Wenyuan has certainly gained a lot, not to mention the battle of Yangjiabao, only these two bandits have captured hundreds of thieves, seized thousands of stones of grain and grass, and the weight of clothing and armor is not counted. But these seventy soldiers are the meat of his heart! Every soldier has condensed his hard work, and he has lost so much in a short period of time, so that Wen Yuan has to find the cause and try to solve it.

For this matter, Wen Yuan thought about it for a few days, and there were two reasons, one was the low medical ability, and the other was the weak protection ability of the soldiers.

Medicine, this era seems to be scarce everywhere, the main reason for the sharp decline in population at the end of the Han Dynasty is of course natural disasters for many years, continuous military disasters, and the lack of medical rescue force is also among the reasons, only in the second year of Zhongping, the entire Central Plains died of nearly 20 million due to the plague, if there was relatively advanced medical technology at that time, there would be more people who would have survived!

Now, there are a few grass heads in Wenyuan's army who know some medical science, but they can only treat minor injuries and minor diseases, and they are not of great use, and now it is a cold winter, once the soldier is seriously injured, the wound heals very slowly, and it is almost impossible to save it, Wenyuan vaguely remembers that there were famous three divine doctors in the Jian'an period, but these people are either in Anhui, or in Henan, and even farther in Fujian have not even been born, and they can only wait and see if they want to solve their own medical problems.

Now Wen Yuan can only start from the soldier's own protection, he knows that the armor of the soldier's protection is made of cow, pig and other animal skin, and is decorated with leather rope and then painted with lacquer to prevent corrosion and moth. It is said that the finest leather armor made of buffalo skin and rhinoceros skin can remain incorruptible for one or two hundred years. However, in the troubled times of frequent wars, how could they tolerate the neat tanning of leather and armor painting, and the leather armor of Wen Yuan's corporal was just two simple tanned animal skins sewn together to protect the chest and back. And even with such a rudimentary armor, the popularity rate in the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty could only reach about 40%. Just like Wen Yuan's command, only more than 1,000 of the first 2,800 soldiers had leather armor, and the baggage soldiers only had a shabby uniform, and the new soldiers were even worse, there was no armor, if Wen Yuan hadn't recently obtained thousands of clothes, these people's clothing would have become a problem, not to mention that in addition to armor, the soldiers lacked weapons!

For a long time, Wen Yuan's positioning of the army under his command is to become an elite soldier! Strong! Every soldier must be fearless of death, but first of all, they must be well-equipped to ensure their survival on the battlefield! The number can be small, but it must be absolutely elite! Dare to fight, not afraid of death, and can survive tenaciously.
