Youzhou officials were subdued in this way. Of course, this is also because of the relationship between the incompetent people in Youzhou. With just one Wei You, he really can't support a behemoth like Youzhou Thorn Mansion. However, if Wei You and the others knew that the sword on Liu Zhang's waist was the snake sword that could be cut first and then played, it is estimated that they would be even more afraid!

Youzhou Thorn Mansion, driven by Liu Yan, is running rapidly. Pacifying the people, recruiting soldiers, and repairing the city wall have made Jixian County prosperous step by step. Liu Zhang gave full play to the surname of the young master, he took Shi A and a hundred forbidden troops to form a patrol every day, as long as he found something to bully the people, he would come forward to manage it. Some children of the family who didn't open their eyes were beaten by him, which was quite light. If they were resisted, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan would take the newly recruited soldiers to "train the soldiers".

Within three months, three large and small families in Youzhou were exterminated by Liu Zhang, and countless people were beaten. The Youzhou family wanted to try to drive Liu Yan and his son away, so they sent people to the capital for activities. But as soon as those families in the capital heard that it was Liu Zhang's business, they immediately changed their faces, and no one wanted to provoke this fierce god. When the Youzhou family knew what Liu Zhang did in Luoyang, they hurried back one by one to let their children cooperate with Liu Yan's work, otherwise it would be light to be beaten, and the emperor would cover it, not to mention exterminating a few small families, even if Liu Zhang wiped out all the Youzhou families, he would not be in trouble. Compared with the Youzhou family and the Luoyang family, it is really nothing.

Liu Yan's work in Youzhou is getting easier and easier, and with Liu Zhang's help, even government affairs are much less. In fact, there are not many major things in the government, and the most are those trivial things. But often the people who commit these things are the children of some families. If you deal with it, you will offend a large number of people, and if you don't deal with it, it will be difficult to face the people. Not every state assassin and Taishou have the background of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. Those children of the family got into trouble, and often asked the local government to wipe their buttocks, which led to the busy government affairs in some places, just like Luoyang Ling and Jing Zhaoyi, these two official positions, status, and fortune are almost the same, but the things they manage are also similar, precisely because the children of the family have caused too much trouble, and only one Luoyang Ling or Jing Zhaoyi can't be busy.

Liu Yan's purpose in going to Youzhou was to clean up the Karasuma people. After Liu Zhang cleaned up the children of the family in Ji County, he began to help Liu Yan train his troops. However, with nearly 600 Yulin troops gifted by Liu Hong, Liu Zhang was not worried about the lack of basic soldiers, so he divided the recruits into two parts, one for Yan Yan and the other for Huang Zhong. It's a pity that Youzhou is remote and the people are withered. Liu Yan worked hard to gather 20,000 troops, which was already the limit of Jixian County's army raising.

To be honest, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan were very depressed. Although they used to be just captains and military horses, leading and training soldiers was just commonplace for them, and they had never eaten pork or seen pigs run. But Liu Zhang's training method made them very strange. According to Huang Zhong and Yan Yan's ideas, military training is nothing more than issuing a weapon to each person, and then teaching the art of killing the enemy. The spearmen let them learn to pierce, the knife soldiers let them learn to chop and use the shield, and the archers are the art of archery. Liu Zhang overturned their method and let the soldiers learn to walk and stand!

"Hansheng, did you say that Childe's method is useful?" Looking at the rows of soldiers standing on the school field facing the sun, Yan Yan asked with some puzzlement; "Can this station also stand up for elite soldiers?"

"I don't know!" Huang Zhong followed my request, whipped a soldier who was in turmoil, and then said to Yan Yan: "Whatever the son says, I will do it!" Remember what Childe said? The duty of a soldier is to obey orders and listen to commands! I'm a military man! ”

"Ugh!" Yan Yan was stunned, he knew that Liu Zhang had saved Huang Zhong's son, but he didn't expect Huang Zhong to be so blind to Liu Zhang. In Yan Yan's heart, the soldiers were going to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he couldn't see the use of Liu Zhang's practice, so he was a little resistant.

"Hansheng!" Yan Yan said with some displeasure: "The soldiers want to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they don't teach them the art of killing the enemy, but let them do such a child's play, I will go to Lord Thorn Shi!" This kind of training is absolutely not possible! After speaking, Yan Yan galloped away, leaving Huang Zhong alone to train soldiers on the school field.

Huang Zhong looked at Yan Yan's back and said secretly: "Old Yan! It's not that the old brother doesn't cover you! Childe specially instructed that if you are not convinced, you will be asked to find the assassin. It seems that Childe has already seen through you, but you don't know it yet. You don't want to think about it, although Childe is only eight years old, when did he do something useless? Alas..."

Huang Zhong turned around and saw two soldiers talking to each other, he snapped two whips and said, "What did Lao Tzu say?" If you dare to violate military orders again, be careful of military law! ”

In Youzhou Thorn Mansion, Liu Yan sat in the first place, looking at Liu Zhang and Yan Yan with a smile on his face.

"Father, what did you tell me about?" Liu Zhang was teaching those children of the family and the local ruffians on the street, and someone called him to the Assassin's Mansion. But after such a long time, Liu Yan let him sit with Yan Yan and drink tea on the side.

"My son, General Yan is quite puzzled by your training methods, I want you to tell him about it!" In fact, Liu Yan was also a little puzzled by Liu Zhang's approach, but he promised Liu Zhang that he would never interfere with Liu Zhang's military training, so he took advantage of Yan Yan's incomprehension and asked Liu Zhang by the way.

"Huh?" Liu Zhang looked at Yan Yan and said, "General Yan, what are you puzzled about?" ”

"Childe, this battle to kill the enemy, you don't let the soldiers be familiar with how to use weapons, but let them stand in what military posture, is this a bit of putting the cart before the horse?" Although Yan Yan has an opinion, he should be respectful, and he is still very respectful.

Liu Zhang didn't answer Yan Yan's question, but asked with a smile: "General Yan, do you know the requirements for elite soldiers in Sun Tzu's Art of War?" ”

"It is as fast as the wind, its speed is like a forest, its invasion is like fire, it is as immobile as a mountain, it is difficult to know as yin, and it is as moving as thunder." Yan Yan said with a smile: "That being said, it is really difficult to reach these realms, if you can reach one or two of them, you can be regarded as an elite soldier!" ”

"In my opinion, it is too easy to meet those requirements, and that sentence is just the basic requirement of the troops in my heart!" Liu Zhang looked at Yan Yan and smiled: "If General Yan doesn't believe it, we can give it a try!" ”

"How do you try it?" As a child of the Wuxun family, Yan Yan has his pride in his heart. What's more, he didn't believe that he had been learning martial arts and the art of war since he was a child, and he couldn't compare to an eight-year-old child. Back then, the reason why he was Liu Zhang's escort was because of Liu Yan's pressure. In Yan Yan's opinion, he took refuge in Liu Yan, not Liu Zhang, which is why Liu Zhang treated him and Huang Zhong separately.

"You and Huang Zhong have mastered 10,000 troops, your 10,000 troops are trained according to your method, and Huang Zhong's 10,000 troops are trained according to my method. After three months, we each selected 1,000 people to compete, and if one side fails, we will train according to the other side's training method. Liu Zhang had long wanted to convince Yan Yan, because he could see that Yan Yan seemed respectful, but it was for Liu Yan's sake. He came up with this method to convince Yan Yanxin, after all, Liu Yan is not only Liu Zhang's son. The troubled times are coming, and Liu Zhang, as the son of Liu Yan, naturally has to be attached to Liu Yan. Although Liu Zhang knew that Liu Yan still passed the position to him in the end, he was worried that if history changed because of his crossing, it would not be predictable by manpower. Therefore, Liu Zhang must hold Liu Yan's forces in his hands, and Yan Yan is one of the more important links.

Listening to Liu Zhang's words, Yan Yan hesitated. No matter how you say that Liu Zhang is Liu Yan's son, it is too much for him to compete with Liu Yan's son as Liu Yan's general, but Liu Zhang is only eight years old. A young man in his twenties and an eight-year-old child compared to military training, Yan Yan really couldn't pull down this face.

"General Yan, do you dare to compete with the little boy?" Liu Yan looked at Yan Yan with a smile on his face, but Yan Yan was a little panicked, he suddenly remembered his identity, the family general was fighting with the master, wasn't that looking for death? Even if you have the ability, you can't and dare not win!

"The last general is wrong!" Yan Yan knelt on the ground and said, "How dare the last general compete with the little boy, and ask the adult to take back his life!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Zhang and Liu Yan were a little surprised, this Yan Yan came in a hurry, but there was definitely something wrong with his attitude. In fact, Yan Yan just wanted Liu Yan to change Liu Zhang's training methods, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to propose a competition. Liu Yan asked suspiciously: "General Yan, didn't you come in a hurry just to ask Zhang'er to change his training methods?" Now that Zhang'er has given you a chance, how can you..."

"My lord, Yan is just a guard, how can he be qualified to compete with the little boy! I..." Yan Yan lowered his head and hid the loneliness and unwillingness in his eyes.

"Huh?" Liu Zhang understands that the feudal society is strictly hierarchical, and Yan Yan's status is low, if he fights with Liu Zhang, it belongs to the following crimes, and the following crimes are major crimes in ancient times. Suddenly, Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Yan Yan! Thanks to you, you are still a general, what do you want to do! To tell you the truth, I asked you to compete with me, not to laugh at you, nor to pressure you with force, but to let the facts speak. Since you think my training method is wrong, then you can use your method to prove to me that you are right! Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, is my father and I the kind of people who know their mistakes and don't change? Or do you think that your abilities are higher than ours, and we will be jealous of you? Remember, even if you become a general in the future, you are still my father and I's subordinates, because we are relatives of the Han family, and the world belongs to our family, let alone you! Say! Do you dare to stand up and prove yourself? ”

"Dare!" Yan Yan was calmed by Liu Zhang's loud drink, and the arrogance of the military general returned to his chest.

Liu Yan laughed and said, "Okay! Yan Yan, if you can prove that you are right after three months, the troops under my command will be trained by you in the future, if you lose, you will honestly listen to the orders of the little boy, and there will be no objections, I will rely on you to repel the Karasuma people! ”

"The last general obeys!" Yan Yan looked at Liu Zhang and Liu Yan with a fiery look in his eyes, he was finally able to prove himself!
