Chapter 93: Returning to Lingling, the generals will divide their troops and recruit new warriors to Quanling

Huo Yi led the men and horses to appear in Quanling City, most of the immigrants from Guiyang and Changsha counties moved to Quanling, unlike Wuling, the security of Quanling is very stable, for no other reason, compared to Wuling, Lingling is more like the base camp of Huo Yi's army, and most of his elites are stationed here.

Quanling City is the most important thing, stationed in Quanling, are the thousands of cavalry who once followed Huo Yi to sweep the two governors of Jiangdong, as well as the newly recruited military bravery, stationed at the junction of Guiyang, Changsha and Lingling, basically the three counties and county soldiers after Huo Yi reorganized, as well as some of the soldiers. It was a very safe way to guard against the newly defeated Jiangdong Army, and then use cavalry to deploy in the center.

As soon as Huo Yi entered Lingling, there were flying horses who reported to Deng Ai and others in Quanling. When Huo Yi arrived at Quanling, he was shocked, Quanling City was no longer as dilapidated as before, the city pass was renovated, heightened and thickened, and the facilities in the city were also in accordance with Huo Yi's previous plan, becoming more perfect.

Deng Ai and others can be said to be eager to see through, Huo Yi went to Shuzhong for a few months, although everyone is responsible for everything, and it is also orderly, but everyone is up because of Huo Yi, or simply Huo Yi can sit in a high position. It is Huo Yi who is the backbone of everyone in Lingling County.

Before Huo Yi left, he wanted the whole county to recruit troops, and Huo Yi himself had a lot of people in Lingling, counting the county soldiers after the reorganization of the three counties, there were already more than 15,000 people.

Combined with the number of soldiers recruited from the immigrants, the number is already more than 25,000. 10,000 troops were recruited. This is also the result of Deng Ai's careful selection in recruitment. In fact, according to the standards of other armies, Lingling County can now recruit more than 50,000 soldiers. But Huo Yi's spirit of seeking refinement still affected the generals under him.

Hearing Deng Ai's report on recruitment, Huo Yi was a little excited, for the first time, he felt that he could grasp the pulse of this era, and even had the strength to change something. After all, it is like the great man of later generations who said that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", and only by firmly holding an army in his own hands can he speak hard.

Gao Jin and the four of them were inserted by Huo Yi'an into five newly recruited camps, each with 2,000 people. The elite of the various armies that had already formed an army and had been in battle for a long time were transferred to these five battalions to serve as junior officers. The commander of these five battalions is to be determined, and during the training, Deng Ai will also serve as the commander-in-chief. But as soon as Huo Yi returns, the commander of these five battalions can only be Huo Yi.

In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, each general had his own personal troops, which was also tacitly approved by the lord Liu Bei, who was a figure like Guling Taishou Liu Yan who did not talk about military affairs, and there were also 1,000 private soldiers under his hands.

Although Huo Yi knew that the generals and wealthy families were hiding a huge population, he never thought that it would be so serious. Huo Yi originally rejected such an act very much, but at this time, he didn't want to use the power in the deep mountains, so he could only raise some soldiers to enrich his troops.

Strictly speaking, Huo Yi's personal subordinates are only the current personal guards, as well as the five hundred elites he led out of Nanjun back then.

The current five hundred elites are already as Huo Yi guessed, and after being dispersed, they will be mixed into the various units under Huo Yi's command, playing the role of middle and lower-level officers. In addition, the commanders of these armies are also Huo Yi's simple ones, like Deng Ai, Huo Liang, Li He and other cadres. There are also those who served Huo Yi earlier, such as Wang Chong, Wang He, Wang Ming and others. This army, through Huo Yi's control of the officers, is firmly in his own hands.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that if anyone is replaced, it is unlikely that he will be able to command the army under Huo Yi's command.

But after all, there are county soldiers from all over the country in these armies, and there are also the 5,000 men and horses of Guan Yu to reinforce Huo Yi, and then there are the Jiangdong soldiers who were captured in the two battles of Jingnan. Strictly speaking, these are not Huo Yi's personal parts.

This newly recruited five battalions of people, Huo Yi is even more selfish, it can be seen from the fact that the five Gao Jin people are placed in each battalion, Huo Yi wants to take these five battalions of people and horses completely in his own hands. The five Gao Jin have received strict training since childhood, as well as the influence of the art of war in battle formations, which are not comparable to ordinary peasant children, so the emergence of these five people is also something to be done.

When these five people come out, these five battalions will be handed over to them, and at that time, it is also the time for the armies to reintegrate and divide the specific positions of the generals.

Huo Yi even reformulated the training syllabus of his five battalions, which may not be as good as the original training method of the five hundred elites, but in his own opinion, it is more scientific and effective. Because the foundation is different, most of the newly recruited people and horses are children of peasant families, how have they ever seen the scene of the battle array? And the 500 elite soldiers in Nanjun during the training were the masters of the rest of the battle, and such ruthless training, coupled with the cultivation of various qualities, was to enable them to assume the important role of the soul of the army in the future battle of Huo Yi, and the outstanding among them were bound to become generals or even higher existences.

Huo Yi's new military training method emphasizes the education of discipline and honor and disgrace, plus the learning of basic skills, the use of various weapons, the gist of joint battles, and the method of attacking and defending the city, which is something that a real soldier has to learn.

Gao Jin Wuren did not live up to Huo Yi's expectations, and in just three months, he defeated the instructors in his own battalion with his strength, and Huo Yi also fulfilled his promise, and the five people were promoted to the generals of the five battalions, and their positions were about the same as ordinary generals.

Huo Yi is a lazy man, so he named these five battalions after five people, Gao Jin's is called Jinzi Camp, Lu Yao's is called Yaozi Camp, Zhao Heng's Hengzi Camp, Fuyuan's Yuanzi Camp, and Yiyun's Yunzi Camp. Huo Yi only said that after the training of recruits is over, each battalion should be assessed, evaluate the results of the five battalions, and reward the good and punish the bad.

The five of them are all young people, and they are all a little arrogant in their bones, although they are usually good friends, but when it comes to this juncture of honor, who wants to let them, each of them is practicing soldiers, and their positive surnames are more than one step higher than Huo Yi.

Huo Yi re-demarcated the defense areas of each army, Wang Chong led Wang He and Wang Ming, and some staff battalion officers, acting for the defense of Changsha, with more than 3,000 elite cavalry under his command, plus soldiers from two counties; Deng Ai commanded the Jiangdong soldiers, and a number of infantry troops, plus a county soldier, to defend the first line of defense of Guiyang.
