Liu He's ability was obviously not limited to teaching a group of "mud legs" how to line up and report the numbers, but in the next three days, he also taught this group of rural turtles from tenant households how to stand in a military posture, how to walk in unison, and under what circumstances to shout a report.

Although these contents are only some of the most basic actions in the individual training of later armies, and they seem to have little to do with combat and war, they contain the collective wisdom of mankind that spans more than a thousand years, and are the fundamental basis for ensuring that an army can do what is ordered and prohibited.

In ancient times, when two armies were at war, and one of the troops was annihilated by the enemy by more than 10%, the troops could retreat; When more than 30% of the troops are annihilated, the entire army will collapse completely.

During this period, all the warring sides used cold weapons, and it was impossible to have a large number of casualties in an instant, and if the two sides involved in the war insisted on fighting to the death, then one side wanted to annihilate the other side, and it could only exchange life for life, and there would be no large-scale rout and surrender.

In later generations of China, there were many heroic troops, who, with their iron will and strict discipline, were able to die together with foreign enemies on the battlefield, or when the casualties reached more than eighty percent, they still fought to the death. Sometimes, a battalion or a company, in order to cover the retreat and transfer of the main force, can delay the strength of a regiment or even a division of the enemy as if it were dead!

If the intensity of the battle is obviously more severe than the battlefield where bullets fly everywhere and artillery smoke is in later generations, then why can the army of later generations be able to fight to the death without retreating, and will not be defeated if it loses two to three or even more than fifty percent of its personnel in a battle?

The answer lies in the discipline of the soldiers!

A well-disciplined flock of sheep can't beat a flock of loosely disciplined lions, but what if you put armor on the top of the sheep's head and a deadly horn on the tip of the sheep's head?

In Liu He's view, the group of tenant farmers brought by Deng Hai and Chen Gui was a group of sheep, and it was impossible to train them into fierce lions in a short period of time, but there was a lot to be done to train them into a group of obedient sheep.

In three and a half days, it is obviously impossible to train a strong army with military discipline like iron, even if Liu He is a god, he can't do it. But through the training of the past few days, Liu He has let everyone really understand the meaning of a word, that is-discipline!

Discipline is like steel, and everyone must strictly abide by it, otherwise they will inevitably be punished, or even hit their heads and bleed!

In between Liu He's training, Wang Yue taught the villagers a few basic movements of using knives, guns and clubs, so that everyone would not wield them indiscriminately when holding Pu knives and long-handled weapons.

The hero Wang Yue in Luoyang to open a martial arts hall apprenticeship as a profession, his familiarity with the eighteen kinds of weapons is definitely more than any general with soldiers, by him to teach everyone martial arts although there are some suspicions of killing chickens with knives, but now everything is urgent, Wang Yue himself is still very understanding and supportive of Liu Dagongzi.

On the night of the fourth day of Liu He's stay in Qujiabao, Ding Jing, who was on an important mission, entered Wubao in the dark and reported to Liu He that he and Shi A went to Fengxiang City to liaise.

"Son Qiqi, the senior brother has met the leader of the gang of strongmen entrenched in Fengxiang City, and sent the news!"

When Liu He learned that Shi A had already connected with the bandit leaders in the area of Fengxiang City, he was immediately overjoyed, and asked Ding with some eagerness: "What did Shi A say?" ”

"Senior Brother said that the heroes gathered in that area are not only about 1,000 people as rumored by the outside world, but 2,500 people! This group of strongmen was divided into three groups, the largest group was about 1,000 people, led by the big boss Xiong Yue and stationed in the central Juanling; The other two were led by Zhu Biao, the second master, and Shao Tong, the third leader, and stationed in Liuling in the north and Yunling in the south. ”

"The senior brother also said that the big boss Xiong was more enthusiastic about the proposal of the son, and he had sent a message to the second master stationed in Liuling, asking him to come over to discuss the plan, and it is estimated that there will be good news in the near future."

After listening to Ding's report, Liu He asked carefully: "As far as you can see, what is the terrain around Fengxiang City?" How many people have settled in the area? What do these strongmen rely on to make a living? ”

Ding Guo replied: "Although Fengxiang City has a city character, in fact, it is full of wooded mountains, and there are very few open and flat areas, let alone large areas of flat land that can be used to build cities. The local people call Fengxiang as 'three ridges and two troughs', and because the mountains and ravines are deep, the land and rivers are relatively small, and there is also the saying of "eight mountains, one water and one field". ”

"According to my secret observations, there are at least 20,000 mountain people scattered among the mountains and ravines in Fengxiang, and they mainly rely on farming, fishing and hunting to make a living. Many of the mountain people were people who fled from Guanzhong to the mountains after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they have now merged with the old local residents. ”

"This gang of strongmen in Fengxiang City is actually not a gang of bandits and robbers who occupy the mountains and villages, they are all from the local mountain people and households, mainly rely on the local mountain people and people to live, and usually participate in the work of some nearby villages, once there are other forces to invade, they will transfer the nearby mountain people into the dock fort that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they will protect it."

"This trip to Fengxiang City is very hard, your task has been completed very well, here are two gold bars, which are rewarded to you and Shi A by this son, don't refuse!"

Liu He took out two yellow gold bars from the wooden box with some "flesh pain" and forced them into Ding Jing's hands.

Ding Guo was very happy and thanked Liu He. A gold bar is not too light a reward for Ding Jing, who is from a poor family.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, most of the people who were willing to practice martial arts were from poor families, and if they had the conditions, they all went to study and become officials, who would learn those inferior skills of dancing knives and guns?

If it weren't for the imminent troubled times that would elevate the value and status of martial artists, after people like Shi A and Ding Kuang learned martial arts, they would act as thugs and watchdogs for those big families, and if they wanted to improve their status, they would have no chance at all.

Besides, no matter which dynasty or generation they go to, it seems that the warriors who fight and kill cannot come to the stage and become a status class in the mainstream society except for joining the army.

After Ding Guo left, Liu He pondered alone in the house.

"Now it seems that the strategy of Fengxiang City's strong force needs to be adjusted immediately. These armed yeoman farmers are entrenched in the deep mountains and forests on the border of Yongzhou, Jingzhou and Yizhou, and usually rely on the local people for self-sufficiency, without attracting the attention of the forces of all parties. If I hadn't sent Shi Ah and Ding Kuang, two guys with strong martial arts, to investigate in this time, I wouldn't have known that there was a team of 2,500 people there now! ”

"Others may not know the terrifying effect of the deep mountain base of the Dao, but I know the Dao! Didn't the mentor in later generations lead a group of peasants around the ravines and ravines in the first half of his life, but in the end, he brutally crippled the imperial court with millions of troops? ”

"If I can gather these people for my use, not only can I solve the current problem of Sanhu Pavilion, but also bury a nail between Chang'an, Nanyang, and Hanzhong, and once the time is ripe, it will play an unexpected role!"

"It's just that it's easy to think about, but it's very difficult to do. My goal now is to return to Youzhou safely as soon as possible and help my father deal with Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, and Gongsun Du. Once I leave Nanyang, the only bit of influence and appeal I have will be wiped out by Yuan Shu immediately, and how can these guys who occupy the mountains really listen to me at that time? ”

"Alas, there is still no one to use! If there is a subordinate like Zang Ba or Zhang Yan who is good at occupying the mountain as the king to go to the town, isn't it like having fun to subdue this group of mountain people? As for a peerless fierce general like Zhao Shuaige who occasionally made a cameo appearance as a bandit leader, even if he let Lao Tzu become a bandit himself, he was reluctant to let him only take a group of mountain people to fight guerrillas! ”

Liu He seemed to be stunned in the house, humming a strange tune for a while and getting excited, and then patting his thighs and sighing, which made Tian Chou and Wang Yue outside the house feel inexplicable.

"Childe, the head of the Qu family is here, saying that there is a very urgent matter to report to you."

Tian Chou's voice sounded outside the house, interrupting Liu He's thoughts.

"Please invite the head of the Qu family into the room to talk!"

After Qu Lin came in, he said to Liu He with an excited face: "Son Qiyu, the Zhao family and the Jing family really can't sit still, they sent people to put pressure on me, asking our Qu family to stop in moderation and immediately release the anti-rent tenants who were arrested a few days ago. ”

Liu He sneered a few times, and said sarcastically: "This Zhao family and the Jing family are really fucking shameless!" They were the ones who forced your Qu family to join them in violently dealing with the villagers' tenants, but now when the farmers in the villages of Sanheting begin to brew an armed resistance, they push your Qu family to the front as a scapegoat to attract hatred! ”

Qu Lin also said with hatred: "What Gongzi said is extremely true, if you hadn't taken the villagers of Houfeng Village to stay in Qujiabao this time, some people in our family would still not be able to see the faces of those two families clearly!" ”

"Don't worry, the Qu family didn't actually arrest any tenants this time, plus Deng Hai, Chen Gui and others brought the young Zhuang from several villages belonging to your Qu family into Wubao, so after the civil unrest broke out, the impact on your Qu family will be much smaller than that of the Zhao family and the Jing family!"

In the past few days, seeing that Gongzi has trained hundreds of Zhuang Han in the castle, the Qu family is convinced, and no one dares to have any objections to Gongzi's arrangement. Now that the son says this, the little old man is even more relieved! ”

Liu He nodded and reminded Qu Lin and said: "The head of the Qu family should also remind the old and young in the family from time to time, don't always feel that you are the descendant of Doctor Sanlu, you can have eyes on the top of your head, and look like no one in your eyes and high up." In the future, be polite to Deng Hai and Chen Gui and others, although these people are from poor backgrounds, if they unite, even the emperor who is high may be overthrown! ”

"You must know, 'people are doing, the sky is watching', if it weren't for the fact that your Qu family was kind to the villagers in the past, it would be your Qu family that would be the first to be destroyed this time! It is also necessary to know that 'water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat', the common people are not lambs that can be slaughtered at any time, and rabbits will bite if they are forced to be anxious! ”

Liu He's words, Qu Lin's head broke out in cold sweat.
