took out the teapot from Da Qiao's arms, and the teapot still had a slight temperature and a girl's body fragrance. Liu Zhang took a sip of tea and found that the water in the pot was still warm. After gently putting the teapot back on the table with some emotion, Liu Zhang picked up Da Qiao, put her on the bed, and covered the quilt for her. In fact, when Liu Zhang took away the teapot, Da Qiao woke up. It's just that the first time she saw the gentle Liu Zhang, she couldn't bear to disturb the tranquility of this moment. But Da Qiao didn't know that her red cheeks had already betrayed her!

Coming to the backyard, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others had already begun to practice martial arts. Liu Zhang warmed up, went up and played Tai Chi for a while, and after feeling comfortable, he took Zhang Ren and others to the West Garden. Today is the third day of Liu Zhang's enthronement, and he should also report to the Yulin Army.

Liu Hong is still a relatively righteous person, he left Liu Zhang in Luoyang, but he did not deprive Liu Zhang of his military power, and allowed Liu Zhang to choose 20,000 soldiers in the Yulin Army as the Qu Division. You must know that there are only 100,000 Yulin troops in Xiyuan, and Liu Hong handed over one-fifth of the military power to Liu Zhang, which is extremely trusting. Of course, the defense of the Jingshi is not only the Yulin Army, as for the other troops, they are all in the hands of different people, such as Captain Sili!

Recruiting is not an easy task. Although Luoyang's troops are considered the elite of the elite in the Han Dynasty, they have nothing to do all the year round, and these people have become old soldiers, pretending to make do, and when it comes to fighting, at most, they can bully the rabble of the Yellow Turban Army, and it has to be evenly matched.

When Liu Zhang arrived in the West Garden, the Yulin Army had already begun to practice. Looking at the Yulin soldiers who were slower than Taijiquan with weapons and moves, Liu Zhang wondered if they had had breakfast before they left. With this kind of troops, as long as you are an insider, you will be disappointed! In fact, Guangluxun, Taiwei and the generals in charge of the army in the imperial court all knew the shortcomings of the Yulin Army, but no one dared to say it. The reason why Qiao Xuan was dealt with was because he wanted to reform the military system.

"Stop coming!" Just when Liu Zhang wanted to approach the training commander general, two soldiers with bird feathers on their heads blocked him. It was precisely because of these two people blocking the way that Liu Zhang was not completely disappointed in Yulinjun. If an army is casually approached by outsiders, the enemy can crush it by a sneak attack at night.

Liu Zhang asked Shi A to hand the seal letter to the guard, and after the two checked the seal letter, they immediately went to report it. Not long after, a man dressed in a general's uniform arrived.

"See Champion Hou!" In the general's rough voice, there was actually a hint of sharpness.

"Excuse me!" Liu Zhang picked up the general and asked, "Dare to ask the general's name?" ”

"The end will be great!" A familiar name entered Liu Zhang's ears, but what made him wonder was, wasn't Jian Shuo a eunuch? However, Jian Shuo quickly answered Liu Zhang's question, and it turned out that Liu Hong specially asked him to help Liu Zhang choose troops. With Jian Shuo's help, Liu Zhang's selection of troops was naturally much easier. At the very least, those generals didn't dare to stab themselves no matter how dissatisfied they were. However, everyone hoped that Liu Zhang would not choose their soldiers.

Under the order, Sergeant Yulin stopped training, and Liu Zhang took Zhang Fei and others to the school platform. Watching a group of teenage children stand on the school platform, Yu Linjun let out a buzzing sound, like a swarm of flies flying. Liu Zhang was even more disdainful, the gap between the quality of these soldiers and the Youzhou soldiers trained by Huang Zhong was too big.

After a cup of tea, the hum finally died down. Liu Zhang looked at the Yulin sergeant below, and said with a smile: "You are a bunch of waste!" ”

In just one sentence, Sergeant Yulin almost roared, and even Jian Shuo looked at Liu Zhang a little helplessly, but Liu Zhang was expressionless. A Yu Lin Lang will come out and say: "I don't care why you are standing on the school platform, but I hope you will retract what you just said, otherwise..."

"How else?" Before General Yu Linlang finished speaking, Liu Zhang interrupted: "This is the West Garden of the Han Dynasty, you are the emperor's forbidden army, and I am your general, what can you do?" Kill me? Rebel? ”

General Yu Linlang was stunned, what Liu Zhang said was right, even if Liu Zhang didn't take back those words, they couldn't do anything. The official level crushes people to death, Liu Zhang is much more noble than these little soldiers, let alone scold them, even killing them is not too big a deal. Seeing that Lang Jiang was dumbfounded, Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Say that you are waste, don't disagree." Shi A, tell them, who is Lao Tzu? ”

Shi A stood up and said loudly: "This is the emperor's own champion Hou, the general of the five senses, General Liu Zhang, the authentic Han clan. His exploit was to repel the 100,000-strong army of Karasuma with 12,000 men, and personally commanded 8,000 troops to attack the Karasuma royal court, exterminating nearly 80 tribes of Karasuma, a total of more than 100,000 people, and robbing countless cattle, sheep and horses! ”

Shi A's words made a buzz on the school field again, Liu Zhang was really helpless, he was used to seeing those soldiers who were as stable as Mount Tai, and then he couldn't stand these 'elites' who stood in line. However, Liu Zhang had to choose troops in this, and no matter how much the emperor favored him, he would not allow him to recruit new troops, because recruiting soldiers required money. Liu Zhang didn't dare to use his own money to recruit troops, otherwise God knows what the emperor would think.

Until the buzz dissipated, Liu Zhang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty asked me to select soldiers, to tell you the truth, I would rather recruit new soldiers than choose among you, because you are really useless!" However, I believe that if you can train, you can also become a real elite. Now the selection begins, under eighteen years old, over twenty-five years old, twenty steps back! ”

With an order, the army under the school platform slowly moved. This movement actually moved for half an hour. When no one moved anymore, Liu Zhang said again: "Children of the family, take twenty steps back!" ”

This time it's much faster, after all, the last round of elimination made the Yulin Army retreat by two-thirds. After Liu Zhang's second order, there were less than 30,000 people left on the school field, and even the establishment was disrupted, because many of the officers above the rank of Qu Chang were served by the children of the family, and these people all withdrew. However, the emperor's establishment for Liu Zhang was 20,000, and he didn't dare to ask for more, so Liu Zhang smiled and said to Jian Shuo: "Master Jian, the people you ordered to quit the school should return to the headquarters!" I'll choose the rest! ”

Jian Shuo nodded, and asked the other generals to take the soldiers who had withdrawn from the school yard away. These generals are also happy and sad, especially those who are not treated by themselves. In the eyes of the generals of the Han Dynasty, only soldiers between the ages of thirty and forty could be regarded as elite soldiers, and most of these soldiers were mastered by generals from large families. But Liu Zhang chose soldiers between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, most of these soldiers were mastered by some down-and-out and civilian children, and some generals and even the entire Qubu were left behind by Liu Zhang.

"Little Hou Ye, what should I do next?" Liu Zhang's method of selecting troops, Jian Shuo also saw it for the first time, although he didn't understand it, but since he came over, he naturally had the idea of stealing the teacher.

Liu Zhang glanced at Jian Shuo, he didn't care about others stealing the teacher, if he looked at it, he could become a training master, and Jian Shuo was also worth cultivating. Liu Zhang smiled: "Don't worry, let them stand for a while!" Shia! Go make me and Master Jian a pot of tea! ”

"No need for tea!" Jian Shuo smiled: "That thing is too hard to drink, it's better to drink, but it's a pity that you can't drink alcohol in the army!" ”

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he finally remembered that he didn't drink tea anymore. The bitter, astringent, sweet and salty yellow soup with sugar and salt is really not something that people drink. However, being idle is also idle, Liu Zhang began to chat with Jian Shuo. As a eunuch, Jian Shuo is despised everywhere, when have you ever met an approachable person like Liu Zhang? The two chatted like this for more than an hour.

You must know that the Yulin Army trains in armor and holds weapons. The weapons and armor add up, at least thirty or forty pounds. An hour later, a large number of the soldiers in the school yard fell. It wasn't until there were less than 20,000 soldiers standing in the school field that Liu Zhang finally recovered from the state of chatting.

"That's it! Drag out all the people who have fallen down to rest, and whoever will take the song part! Liu Zhang said expressionlessly: "The rest of you, you barely passed the test, but you are not qualified to be my soldiers!" However, if you can persevere, I believe that you will be able to become a warrior against 10 or even 100 against 100! ”

To be honest, Liu Zhang's words as a child made the soldiers in the school a little uncomfortable, but Liu Zhang's exploits made them have to obey. In the Han Dynasty, the Champion Marquis was only a marquis of 200 households, at most a little higher than the Pavilion Marquis, but this title represented supreme glory, because it was once the title of Huo Quai, the hero who fought against the Huns! A young man whose merits are comparable to Huo Qu's illness and whose age is younger than Huo Qu's illness is qualified to say this!

The school floor finally fell silent, because the soldiers no longer had the strength to speak. Liu Zhang smiled and asked Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Huang Xu to select 5,000 people each to be the music department, and as for the official positions such as the song chief and tun chief of each music department, they appointed them. There is only one condition for being a chief, and that is ability!

The soldiers were selected, and Jian Shuo's task was completed for most of the time, and the last task was to select a garrison for Liu Zhang's troops in the West Garden. But Liu Zhang refused, because he didn't want his trained troops to become honor guards. A tiger, only in the mountains and forests, can be the king and dominate, locked in a cage, can only be admired. Besides, three years later, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and Liu Zhang still counted on this army to make contributions!

The most important point is that Liu Zhang's soldiers will get stronger and stronger. Maybe the other troops are elite in the eyes of outsiders, but in Liu Zhang's eyes, those troops are not even paper tigers. If Liu Zhang's troops show super combat power, but they are still in the West Garden, Liu Hong, as the emperor, will most likely lose sleep!

(Thank you for the reward from Hehehaha and brother, but you are too ruthless, and it is another 12,000-word reminder, the weather is cold, and Qingfeng's fingers are going numb!) ）
