The military camp of the Yangwei army was very large, in the valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, a small stream divided the valley into two, and Liu and Cheng also used the stream as the boundary, training their own troops and not interfering with each other.

It's a battle between tradition and innovation.

Liu Yuan led the team back to his barracks, looked at the three thousand people who were pressed by the black, and nodded secretly in his heart: The quality of these Yangwei troops is not bad, all of them are tigers and dragons, and they are all about twenty-five years old, not old, weak or sick, and worthy of being selected from the elite of the Tang Army.

When Liu Yuan was observing the soldiers under his command, those soldiers were also observing him, and many people were muttering in their hearts, why is this General Liu so thin and milky, can he do it? Some people also secretly discussed:

"This General Liu is so young, okay?"

"Shouldn't you have heard? He made great achievements in Tubo, and even the princess of Tubo let him be captured alive. ”

"Do you believe those things? In my opinion, the credit is there, it is definitely not so exaggerated, and it is not necessary to lead the army, think about it, his fiancée is the daughter of the Qinghe Cui clan, and there is the operation of the Qinghe Cui clan, is it not easy to get any credit? ”

"I heard that he has only been in the army for half a year, and he is a guerrilla general, so he was promoted too quickly, right?"

"I look like it, you see that he is skinny, I don't know if the long lance can be lifted, bad luck, how good it is with General Cheng, a generation of famous generals, what to say is better than this yellow-haired boy."

Everyone talked about it, nine times out of ten, they expressed their distrust of Liu Yuan, and they were a little depressed when they talked about it, following a general with a nest, where did they feel that there was any future? Don't talk about the future, if you command indiscriminately on the battlefield. will die at any time, many people have been thinking about whether they can switch to Cheng Biting Jin, although Cheng Lao Demon King is a bit perverted in corporal punishment, after all, he is a generation of famous generals, with great achievements and rich experience, isn't it?

Liu Yuan has been in charge of the army for more than four months, and he mingles with his subordinates on weekdays, and he knows the thoughts of the low-level soldiers very well, seeing them whispering below, and the questioning glances that are cast on him from time to time. Needless to say, he must have distrusted himself, just like when he first led the Zhenfan army, those guys didn't believe in themselves at first, and then slowly used their own abilities to take them to heart one by one. It's a pity that I was careful again and again, and I was able to return to Datang alive in the end. Not even a quarter.

"Silence," Liu Yuan yelled. The thousands of soldiers suddenly quieted down, and looked at Liu Yuan curiously one by one to see what the general had to say.

"Everyone, let me run ten laps around the barracks to warm up, quick!"

Running again?

The soldiers looked at each other, and they were no strangers to running. At the beginning of the establishment of the Yangwei Army, the Yangwei General in front of him had not yet come to report, and General Cheng was also a soldier, running and jumping, making it look bad. In the end, I still gave up, and now I have regained someone else's tooth legacy?

"What, didn't you hear? Run! ”

Under the urging of the distance, although the soldiers were a little unwilling, the military order was like a mountain, and they still ran around the barracks one by one.

"Brother Desolate Wolf, what do you think of the quality of these soldiers?" Seeing that those soldiers were running, Liu Yuan smiled and asked the wild wolf next to him.

"Yes, it's just a bit wild and untamable, and it's probably not easy to bring."

Liu Yuan nodded and said: "The army relies on military exploits and qualifications, my qualifications are too shallow, and it is reasonable for them to disobey me, but it is a pity that I don't have the strength of the Chu Overlord to lift a thousand catties, otherwise, put them down first, give them a dismount, and treat them well, and they will naturally listen to the teaching." ”

The wild wolf shook his head and said: "Wrong, soldiers are respected by the strong, soldiers worship the strong, there are blood knives, and they are not afraid of being picked, but some people have special identities and can't be beaten and scolded, I think you are in trouble." ”

"What's the trouble?"

The wolf pointed to the soldier who was running around the camp and said, "See, the thorn has appeared." ”

Liu Yuan looked at the place pointed by the wolf, and sure enough, most of the soldiers were running in front, but there were more than a dozen people, but they were running unhurriedly, running posture, walking pace, running and laughing and laughing, no shape, from time to time they pushed each other a few times, they were more than half a circle behind the ordinary soldiers, and they were still not in a hurry at all, there were bold people, and they also cast a provocative look at Liu Yuan on the stage, obviously deliberately arrogating with Liu Yuan.

"One, two, three, lift the lance!"

"One, two, three, attack!"

"Damn, be mental, be careful that Lao Tzu will kill you."

At this time, the sound of Cheng Bu's soldiers training had already been heard on the other side of the stream, and it was obvious that Cheng Lao Demon King was not wasting time, in order to prove himself in front of Li Er, he was racing against time to train, and Liu Yuan's momentum was definitely at a disadvantage compared to Cheng Lao Demon King.

When many soldiers under Liu Yuan's command heard this, their hearts were even more bottomless, as long as the blood knife and the wild wolf had always had confidence in Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan retracted his gaze and asked the wild wolf with a smile: "Brother wild wolf, those thorns are so unscrupulous, they are not small, right?" ”

"It's not small, the one who walks in front is called Guan Yong, his personal quality is very high, he is known as a character like the king of soldiers, and the background is not small, it is the dragon fast of Baogong Duan Zhixuan, and the little fat man who followed him is Wei Chi Jingde's son Yu Chi Baoqing, Hou Junji's nephew Hou Jun, Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaiyu, Niu Jinda's son Niu Shiming, etc., anyway, after the meritorious service, it is not appropriate to beat, and it is not appropriate to scold, it is easy to offend people, General Cheng is not kind, I will push all these people to you, in my opinion, your life is not good."

After the wild wolf finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yuan with sympathetic eyes.

This Cheng Laohei, this threw some hot potatoes to himself, so that the soldiers under his command would be much easier to manage, Cui Jing's old boy really saw him through, and said that he would not use the three indiscriminate sections in the competition, but he would give himself some stumbling blocks, and it was true.

Those old guys are also good people, as soon as they saw that Li Er attached importance to the new army, they all squeezed their own people to this time, mixed with qualifications, mixed with familiar faces, showed their faces in front of the emperor, and they would be good to take the throne in the future.

Liu Yuan said indifferently: "Don't be afraid, the more prickly I like it, I have to play like this, let's not talk about this, Brother Wild Wolf, you said that there are military craftsmen in this army, right?" ”

"I looked through the roster just now, and there were thirty craftsmen, what. Xiaoyuan, what are you looking for a craftsman for? ”

"Useful" After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head and said to the soldiers who were following him and obeying the order: "Go and call the leader of the warmaker to the general." ”

"Yes, General"

Soon, a man claiming to be the leader of the warsmiths came to see Liu Yuan.

"Little old beard, see general" As soon as an old man with a white beard saw Liu Yuan, he immediately knelt down, like these military craftsmen, in fact, they are slaves, and they belong to the property of the army. Usually responsible for building camps, maintaining ordnance, etc., his status is very low, and when the old beard sees Liu Yuan, he naturally doesn't dare to slack off.

These military masters are all terrifyingly temperamental lords, and they kick people at every turn. The old beard doesn't dare to make a mistake, and the old bones can't stand the toss.

"Old man. Get up. Don't be polite" Liu Yuan took out a roll of drawings that had been prepared long ago and said: "Look, you are going all out to build this, about twenty of them, how long will it take?" ”

"Yes, let's take a look at the little ones first."

The old beard took the drawings and felt that this was to be a training ground. The quagmire, the lone wood, the wall, and the ladder rope net or something, it looks weird, but the size and height are marked, and they are simple and clear. At a glance, he understood, estimated it, and said carefully: "General, it can be completed in ten days." ”

"Ten days? It's been too long, it's so simple, can it be done in three days? Liu Yuan shook his head, there was only three months of training in total, and he still had to spend time going back to Qinghe to complete the wedding, and the wedding would take at least half a month, and there would not be enough time.

The old beard hurriedly said: "General, although it is easy, but for three thousand people, there are as many as twenty at once, plus Xiao Lao, there are only thirty craftsmen in total, and this still needs to be rushed overnight." ”

Liu Yuan thought for a while, and said categorically: "If there are not enough people, I will draw from the guards and cooks, and there are also thirty craftsmen from the Cheng Department, let them come over to help, if it is not enough, I will send troops to assist, and it must be completed within three days." ”

Sharpen the knife and cut the wood, use three days, strengthen discipline, establish personal prestige, cure the thorns well, do the upper effect and lower down, then do everything with half the effort, if there are people every day to fight with themselves, nothing can be carried out smoothly, the military morale is sluggish, and there is really no need to compare and lose, after three days, it will be systematically trained, Liu Yuan is ready to refer to the training methods of the special forces in later generations, and improve their personal quality.

"Yes, General."

"Alright, let's get started, don't wait."

After the old beard of the military craftsman retreated, Liu Yuan saw that the soldiers under his command were still running around the camp, but they were obviously lacking in spirit, and the team was running sparsely, without any military momentum, but like refugees fleeing from the famine, and the more than ten thorns headed by Guan Yong and Wei Jing Baoqing were still running unhurriedly, it seemed that they were not training, as if they were going out in the suburbs.

I wanted them to get off the horse, but I didn't expect that they also wanted to give themselves a dismount.

"How many laps have they run?" Liu Yuan asked the soldiers who were assigned to him quietly.

"Back to the general's words" The captain of the pro-soldier hurriedly replied: "It's fast, I've already run six laps." ”

"What about the slower runners?"

The captain of the pro-soldier hesitated, but still said honestly: "Two and a half circles"

Liu Yuan was so angry, okay, what about the foreign workers, needless to say, the ones who ran slowly were the thorns with prominent status, and they were standing here, and they dared to be so lazy, they simply ignored their own authority.

"Let them speed up." Liu Yuan coldly gave an order to the captain of the pro-soldiers.

"Yes, General", the pro-soldier walked to the side of the team, held a leather whip, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, run faster, haven't you had breakfast, smoke." ”

Hearing someone urging, although those soldiers were not happy, they still sped up their pace and gritted their teeth to complete this boring move, otherwise, the leather whip of the pro-soldier team would be on their bodies, but the dozen or so thorns still didn't care at all, not only did they not speed up, but they also deliberately slowed down in front of the pro-soldier team, deliberately picking on shirts, and the pro-soldier captain hesitated, turned his face to the side, and pretended not to see it.

The captain is like this, and the other soldiers also pretend not to see it one by one, and let those thorns fly and dominate. (To be continued......)
