Although Yang Guozhong told Yang Xi that the imperial court had appointed a candidate for the prison army, there was still some time before Li Jingzhong officially arrived in Tongguan to take up his post.
Yang Xi also ignored it for the time being, and continued the following military arrangements according to his established plan.
There are soldiers of the forbidden army with outstanding combat effectiveness in the army of Tongguan Town, and there are also people who have been temporarily conscripted in the market, and the overall combat effectiveness is not strong, so that these more than 100,000 people can become 100,000 elite soldiers, and they must carry out long-term training and a large number of actual battles.
It is impossible to achieve this change anytime soon, but Yang Xi believes that this goal will be achieved one day.
The training had already begun before Yang Xi returned to Chang'an, and was in charge of more than a dozen generals including Wang Sili, Li Chengguang, Tian Liangqiu, Lu Chongben, Li Fude, and Liu Guangting. Wang Sili and Li Chengguang were each responsible for the training of 20,000 horses, and the other generals trained more than 10,000 people.
Wang Sili and Li Chengguang have always been at odds, and there were fights when Ge Shuhan led the army. Yang Xi knew that the defeat of Lingbao had something to do with the battle between Li Chengguang and Wang Sili, but he didn't want to hold them accountable during the Lingbao Battle, which was a matter for the imperial court. The next thing he has to do is to make these two generals loyal to him, and even he wants to take advantage of the contradictions between the two people and the character of not admitting defeat to better control them. During the training, he made it clear that he would take credit for whoever the sergeant under his command was better trained and more organized and disciplined.
Yang Xi's expression also made Wang Sili and Li Chengguang, who refused to admit defeat to each other, work hard to train hard, and trained the sergeants bitterly.
There are also contradictions between Tian Liangqiu and Lu Chongben, but the contradictions and conflicts are not as powerful as those between Wang Sili and Li Chengguang. For these contradictory people, Yang Xi beat and pulled, the purpose was to make them all feel that he trusted them, and finally make these generals loyal to him.
The chores of daily training were all in charge of the marching Sima Gaoshi.
Yang Xi also saw Gao Shi's talent. This very famous poet is not only good at poetry, but also outstanding in his ability to deal with things. In the absence of war, Yang Xi basically doesn't have to worry too much about the army's miscellaneous affairs, including the deployment of military supplies, the arrangement of training, the statistical summary of training results, the system of rewards and punishments, etc., Gao Shi will do a very thorough job, which makes Yang Xi very admirable.
In history, Gao Shi's reputation in poetry is not as good as Li Bai and Du Fu, but in terms of official luck, he is much more fortunate than these two poets and poets, and the height of his official position is beyond the reach of Li and Du, which must be related to his ability to deal with things.
This is a person who can achieve great things, and Yang Xi is very glad that he can recommend him as a marching Sima and solve many problems for himself.
In addition to tossing binoculars and other military supplies that were not available in this era, Yang Xi also began to select and train special squads. It doesn't take much energy to make telescopes and other things, it's just annoying, and most of Yang Xi's energy is invested in the selection and subsequent training.
Among the 100,000 town troops in Tongguan, there are many veterans of a hundred battles, and the sergeants who have participated in many battles and survived are in good physical condition. Of course, if you want to enter the special squad training camp, strict assessment is inevitable.
The assessment was presided over by Yang Xi himself, and the items included pull-ups, push-ups, weight-bearing running, balance ability test, long-distance running endurance test and other most basic test items for special forces selection. There is also a performance of your best skills, martial arts skills are available. Yang Xi hopes that those who will join the special training team are the most capable people in the army, and those who can stay in the special detachment after the training are all very outstanding figures.
The purpose of his training is public and private, and he announced to the public that he would train a team of particularly elite men and horses to come out in case of special times; On the personal side, he wanted to train a special operations team with excellent individual soldiers and overall combat ability, and firmly control this force in his own hands to serve some of his own interests.
With such a force in their hands, it is likely to play a decisive role at a critical time.
The selection of the special training team was carried out on a voluntary basis and lasted for a total of three days. After passing all the assessment items, exactly 800 people were finally hired, including ordinary non-commissioned officers and some middle- and lower-ranking officers, all of whom were under the age of 25.
After the selection, all the selected soldiers were trained in a training camp personally selected by Yang Xi outside Tongguan City.
On the first day of training, 800 sergeants lined up in dozens of columns according to their heights, and Yang Xi, who was dressed in light and thin armor, began to lecture.
"Brothers, the purpose of this special training team is to train an elite soldier with particularly strong combat effectiveness. The purpose of this commander's training is not only to make you fight the most ferocious in battle, but also to perform better when performing some special tasks, and many tasks that are difficult for ordinary people to complete must also be handed over to you to perform, and you must ensure success......"
"To ensure that you have a combat effectiveness that is far different from that of ordinary sergeants, you must have hard special training. The commander will personally supervise your training and keep track of your training results. Maybe you still don't know what special training is, and I won't go into detail today, but I will tell you in detail in future training. Today, I will simply say a few words about the purpose of special training: that is, to make each of you extraordinary, to be able to kill with one blow when fighting the enemy, never give the enemy the possibility of fighting back or giving a warning, master the ability to act in a variety of special situations, and have the means and ability to defend suddenly. In fact, in a word, there is no task that you cannot accomplish. ”
"The training camp has special discipline, which must be observed unconditionally," Yang Xi pointed to a sign on the edge of the training ground, "The discipline is written on it, you will read it carefully for a while, if you violate discipline and military orders, you will be severely punished!" The training will be very hard, and if you can't bear the training, as long as you take the initiative, you can apply to quit and return to the army where you stayed before. If the training performance is not satisfactory, and there is a major mistake in training, it will also be eliminated; Once a certain day, those who fail will be eliminated, and those who are eliminated will also return to their original army. ”
Yang Xi has already selected twenty training captains. The twenty people were all very good at the assessment, and Yang Xi felt that they were the ones with the most potential for special forces. At the beginning of the training, he trained with these training captains first, and then trained the sergeants through himself and these captains.
He himself had to train with the soldiers. Although his body has been practicing martial arts and his physical fitness is very good, it is still far from the body of the later generations in all aspects, and he wants to make his ability as powerful as in the later generations when he trains with the soldiers.
Those who are in good physical condition among his guards will also participate in the training together.
After saying this, Yang Xi saw the doubts on the faces of many soldiers, knowing that they didn't believe what his young coach said, and he knew that he wanted to let them see what special abilities were.
"You come out and have a fight with Ben Shuai," Yang Xi calmly walked up to a sturdy sergeant and motioned for him to come out.
