June 10, 4th year of Jian'an.

In the middle of summer, the weather has become extremely hot, Wang Chong has a hay in his mouth, lying on the rocks on the shore bare, a trace of cool lake wind blowing, making him unspeakably comfortable.

At this time, nearly a month has passed since the transaction between Jinfan and the Feng family was completed, and today's Wang Chong has a rare busyness.

There is Zhuge Jin in logistics, Gan Ning in training soldiers, and what Wang Chong really needs to worry about is the three teams directly under him: the personal guard battalion, the heavy infantry battalion and the cavalry battalion.

The cavalry battalion is okay, Wang Shuang's work is not bad, but in comparison, the heavy infantry battalion is chaotic managed by Zhou Hu, this Nima is simply a dou who can't be helped, and Wang Chong's nose is crooked.

I don't know anyone, Wang Chong can see it now, Zhou Hu, this guy is only suitable for charging into battle, if he is really allowed to manage a team alone, he may be made of something.

Wang Chong had no choice but to take over the heavy infantry battalion with his own hands, and then throw it together with the personal guard battalion.

To be honest, Wang Chong didn't know much about training soldiers, and he didn't know anything about formation at all, so he could only train in a modern way that he was familiar with.

The first is to exercise the physique, what push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, weight-bearing running and other training items that are unheard of for this era, and the personal guard battalion and the heavy infantry battalion under Cao's men are eager to die.

Then, in order for the soldiers to do the order and forbid, to maintain a consistent movement at all times, it is necessary to walk in unison, and then to stand in a military posture, and to stand under the scorching sun for several hours, if you dare to move, I will dare to kick you.

Wang Chong's training was almost rigorous to the extreme, and in order to convince the soldiers, he would usually train with him, and strive to do his best.

However, this kind of intense training is not something that everyone can insist on, and within a few days, many people can't hold on and choose to quit the team.

For these people who are not strong-willed, Wang Chong did not have the slightest retention, and threw them to Gan Ning casually, and then re-selected personnel from other teams to fill in.

Everyone has a sense of honor and competition, and later Wang Chong simply integrated the two teams into a whole and awarded the flag 'Iron Guard', which was the first team in the Jinfan Army to have an exclusive title.

The 'Iron Guard Battalion' has a total of 600 soldiers, and only the strongest 300 are eligible to wear the Xuan Armor and become the main selection, while the remaining 300 soldiers can only be used as reserves.

Of course, these soldiers with Xuan Armor are not fixed, Wang Chong will have a big competition every few days, but if someone is defeated by the reserve guard, then this set of Xuan Armor on your body will have to belong to the other party.

The reserve members are all proud to get the Xuanjia and become the main selection, and the Iron Guard, who already has the Xuanjia, is naturally unwilling to give up what he has in his hands and is ruthlessly kicked back to the reserve camp, so under this almost cruel competition, the 'Iron Guard Battalion' does not need Wang Chong's instigation at all, and they are already more serious than one in training.

Under Wang Chong's deliberate rendering, the 'Iron Guard Battalion' soon became a benchmark in the Jinfan Army and a holy place that all the soldiers yearn for, not to mention that the treatment and food of the 'Iron Guard Battalion' soldiers are the best in Jinfan.

The 'Iron Guard Battalion' is a gathering place for the strong, and if you don't have strong strength, you won't even be qualified to be a reserve.

Wang Chengran put out such a powerful training model, and was immediately shocked by Gan Ning, and praised him again and again for being a military genius who is rare to see in a century, and Wang Chong was very embarrassed, after all, he was just picking peaches for future generations.

Gan Ning soon began to learn from Wang Chong's training mode to train the soldiers, of course, the strength naturally cannot be compared with the 'Iron Guard Battalion', after all, the 'Iron Guard Battalion' is strong and can withstand Wang Chong's destruction, but most of the Jinfan soldiers do not have such a physique, if they are really completely copied, the body may collapse directly before it becomes stronger.

―――――――――――――

During this time, Wang Chong secretly sent many sentinels to Huainan and Jiangdong, because he knew very well that the days of Jinfan's stay in Poyang Lake had entered the countdown.

Over the next few days, a steady stream of messages was delivered.

First in the north, Cao Cao first sent Shi Jian and Cao Ren north to cross the Yellow River to break through Zhang Yang's old army, capture Hanoi, and expand his sphere of influence to the north of the Yellow River, and then ordered Zang Ba to lead troops to attack Qingzhou, occupy Qi State, Beihai and other places, and consolidate the right wing, and the general Ban was also sent to the south bank of the Yellow River at this time to station, monitoring every move of Yuan's army.

The battle of Guandu, which decided the ownership of the northern overlord, was already on the verge of breaking out.

Then, the desperate Yuan Shu attributed the emperor to Yuan Shao, and wanted to lead his troops to Qingzhou to join Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, but was intercepted and killed by Liu Bei and Zhu Ling on the way, and returned defeated.

Subsequently, Liu Bei, who controlled the military power, did not turn back to Xudu, but led the army straight to Xuzhou.

As for Jiangdong, Sun Ce personally led a large army to be stationed in the Hulin area, ready to move, as if it was possible to cross the river north and attack Huainan at any time.

These things didn't seem to have much to do with Jinfan on the surface, only Wang Chong himself knew that the time he had been waiting for was about to be ripe.

June 15, 4th year of Jian'an.

Wang Chong got the latest news that Yuan Shu went to Qianshan to join his former subordinate Chen Lan, but Lei Bo was refused, and died vomiting blood in Jiangting on the way back to Shouchun.

Immediately afterwards, the Jiangdong Army, which was originally stationed in Hulin, began to move to the area of Pengze and Hukou, apparently after learning the news that Yuan Shu was dead, Sun Ce had temporarily given up attacking Huainan and targeted Yuzhang County.

The current Yuzhang Taishou is Hua Xin, this person is honest and honest, and is very loved by the people of Yuzhang, but he does not know about military affairs, Jinfan's momentum in Poyang Lake is so great, but he still ignores it, which shows the thinness of his heart.

Some things are often involved in the whole body, with Hua Xin's character of loving the people like a son, maybe he is afraid that he will not succeed in encirclement and suppression, but will anger Jinfan, and the people of Yuzhang County will be affected, then he will really die and cannot escape the blame, after all, Jinfan has never hurt the surrounding people from beginning to end during his time in Poyang Lake, perhaps this is the biggest reason why he has been reluctant to use the sword.

If Sun Ce wanted to take Yuzhang County, he had to remove the two stumbling blocks that hindered his pace.

One of them is Liu Xun in Anhui City, now Liu Xun has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and the army is vast, and he will never sit back and watch Sun Ce take Yuzhang County as his own.

In addition, Sun Ce's second stumbling block is naturally the Jinfan with 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Poyang Lake.

Sun Ce didn't dare to provoke Liu Xun easily, so Wang Chong's Jinfan naturally became Sun Ce's first target.
