After the simple handover of the old and new captains, Long Yuandong announced the order to reorganize the army, and strictly regulated a series of items such as internal affairs, drills, training, logistics, and civil exchanges at the battalion headquarters.

When the sergeants saw the three heads hanging high above the camp gate, they were terrified, and even if they had objections in their hearts, they had no choice but to obey orders and did not dare to act rashly.

Successfully deterring the soldiers, Long Yuandong naturally made persistent efforts, coerced the remnants of the killing, ordered troops on the battlefield, played horns and joint ventures, taught everyone to practice battle formations, temper soul power, and boil up military strength every day.

The soldiers were inevitably a little dissatisfied at first, and Long Yuandong was encouraged, choosing those who were stubborn and punishing them, and choosing those who were obedient and exhortating. Day after day, the barracks take on a new look.

There are also some sergeants who can't bear the hardships of training and sneak away, and Long Yuandong doesn't chase or catch up, so he lets him do as he pleases.

Yun Tianjia secretly sent people to follow the fleeing sergeant, and found that many of them ran to He Xiaoduo to complain. He Xiaoduo ignored it, and all of them were whipped forty and driven out.

More than 20 days later, He Xiaoduo came to patrol the camp, and was quite satisfied with the effectiveness of Long Yuandong's management of the army, and came to the Chinese army tent to gather the generals to discuss matters.

Wen Yanxin was the first to attack, and said: "Captain Long, you have only been in other departments for a few days, and you killed my three guards without authorization, can you be guilty?"

Long Yuandong said proudly: "Those who are in rebellion, how can you talk about guards? I only know that I killed three military criminals, but I don't know when I killed three guards. ”

Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, and said: "In the past few days, there have been no less than ten batches of people who have come to the county lord's mansion to complain, and you are strict in governing the army, do you want to force everyone to rebel?"

Long Yuandong said: "I train for the country, and I can't become an army unless I am strict." ”

He Xiaoduo smiled slightly and said, "Captain Long, I am very pleased that you have managed the army well. But today I'm not here to reward you, let alone to ask the teacher for sin. Rather, there is something to discuss with you. ”

He Dali said happily: "Is there going to be a war?"

He Xiaoduo glared at him and said, "You look forward to fighting every day, do you know that when the war really starts, the people of Li will leave their homes, their wives will be separated, and their families will be ruined?"

He Dali's face stiffened, and he didn't dare to talk.

He Xiaoduo said: "Don't mention gossip." Let's listen to Uncle Wen talk about the recent banditry in China. ”

Wen Yanxin cleared his throat, unfolded a simple map, and said, "Since the last Qirong Fireworks Explosion case, there have been rebellions in the south and east of the empire.

Among them, Wangshan County in Ningzhou in the south fell, the county guard was killed, the twelve counties of Bowen County in Tongzhou were lost, and the king of Nanyang was captured. The rebels gathered hundreds of thousands of people, joined together, attacked the city all the way, and were arrogant, treating our officers and soldiers as if they were nothing.

There were also more than 100,000 rebels in Tongzhou and Jianzhou in the east, accounting for many cities. The local government army has been peaceful for a long time, and its combat strength is sluggish, and it will collapse at the first touch. People fled north in despair, livestock and vehicles, and roads were clogged.

The imperial court actively prepared for war, dispatched troops to meet the enemy, and as a result, the Zhiwei army and the rebels took a battle in the south, lost the first battle, and retreated to the Great Victory Pass; the Xuange army on the east road raided the bandit camp the day before yesterday, but was ambushed, lost the army, and defended the line of the Luosha River after the rout. Looking at this situation, the bandit army is in full swing, and the Luosha River and the Great Victory Pass are in jeopardy. ”

Long Yuandong said: "What is the origin of the rebels, so powerful, they can actually defeat the regular army composed of all soul masters?"

He Dali also clapped his hands and said, "That's right, the rebels are mainly civilians, I'm afraid I can't even find a few soul masters, right?"

Wen Yan was solemn: "Don't underestimate the rebels." According to my report, the composition of the rebels is very complicated, in addition to some civilians, there are also disciples of the Five Elements Sect, disciples of the Soul Sect, and even the government army that rebelled in the imperial court, and there is definitely no shortage of masters among them. ”

Yun Tianjia thought to himself: "According to my teacher, although the Five Elements Sect and the Soul Conjuring Sect have the same origin and the same sect, they have always done their own things, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, how can they be mixed together? ”

He thought again: "Wen Yanxin can also be regarded as a registered disciple of Shimy Dao, but he may not know that Shiwudao once served as the sect master of the Five Elements Sect. ”

Long Yuandong asked, "So what should we do?"

Wen Yanxin said: "Although banditry is rampant, after all, it is still far from Shizhu Island, and the imperial court has its own army to deal with it, so we shouldn't worry too much." All we have to do is to be prepared for a rainy day. ”

He Xiaoduo continued: "The so-called precautions and preparedness are nothing more than three things, selecting generals, reorganizing the army, and training troops. A few days ago, the emperor has ordered me to personally take charge of the 3,000 forbidden troops of the left and right guards, and also lead the 50,000 government troops in the counties of Gyeonggi. In addition, Hanyuan County in southern Huazhou has surrendered a bandit army, and someone needs to take over the commander. ”

After introducing the current situation, He Xiaoduo directly issued three orders:

First: Long Yuandong, He Dali, and Dugu Wenjiao continued to lead the other parts of Western Xinjiang, and recruited displaced people, expanded the army to 3,000 people, and changed the army name to "Long He";

Second: Yun Tianjia led Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe to Hanyuan County, Huazhou to receive the surrendered army, and after reorganization, they were stationed on the spot, waiting for dispatch, and the military name was "Tianjia";

Third: Twenty people, including Yifan, Qiansoul, Qianmian, Gushan, Gusui, and Zhao Hu, were selected to enter the left and right guards to assist He Xiaoduo in commanding the army.

After the Longhe Army and the Tianjia Army became an army, they were still under the command of He Xiaoduo and obeyed He Xiaoduo's orders.

After more than a month of polishing, it was not easy for Long Yuandong's Western Xinjiang to stabilize itself, but He Xiaoduo withdrew more than 20 backbones at once, and also asked him to expand his army six times, the task was really arduous.

He Xiaoduo asked: "Within a month, the army will be expanded to 3,000 people, and the combat effectiveness will be formed within two months, can it be done?"

Long Yuandong knew the difficulties, but how could he show his cowardice at the critical moment, he drank the wine in the cup at the moment, slammed it hard, and said arrogantly: "No problem!"

"In order to let you not be shackled by trivial matters and concentrate on the military, from today onwards, my personal maid Ziyan will follow you, serve you specially, and listen to your dispatch. He Xiaoduo beckoned, Ziyan stood two steps forward, bowed slightly, and his eyes were full of joy.

Long Yuandong was stunned and said, "Isn't this okay?" I thought that she asked Ziyan to serve me, so she naturally had the intention of surveillance, and I couldn't be fooled.

He Xiaoduo smiled and did not pick up, indicating that the matter was settled and not negotiable.

Long Yuandong had no intention of dwelling on this issue, and asked: "Hanyuan County in Huazhou is not under the jurisdiction of the Dunwang Mansion, nor is it within the scope of the county lord's left and right guards and the garrison of the government army, why should we accept the surrender army there?"

He Xiaoduo said: "Hanyuan County is located at the source of the Han River, bordering Xingquan Prefecture and Xilin Prefecture, the terrain is remote, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the imperial court rarely pays attention to it in the past.

In recent years, the state and county governments have repeatedly joined forces to attack the Wei army, but they have all been defeated and lost, and they have returned in vain. The bandits then became more and more rampant, and even killed two county guards in succession, and the impact was so bad that it was equivalent to rebellion.

Nowadays, the whole of Huazhou, including Hanyuan County, is full of traces of cults, and there is a tendency to break away from the control of the imperial court. As soon as the officials heard that they were going there on an errand, they all used the excuse to delay and avoid it like snakes and scorpions. The so-called heaven will descend on the Si people, and as a royal family, I naturally have to take the initiative to share some responsibilities. ”

Turning his head to Yun Tianjia, he said: "The trip to Hanyuan County is dangerous and the conditions are difficult, do you really want to go?"

He Xiaoduo assigned Yun Tianjia to Hanyuan County, which can be described as thoughtful.

Although she has a wide range of officers and soldiers, there are not many handsome people who can stand alone after all, and Yun Tianjia's comprehensive ability is absolutely rare.

Besides, his loyalty has been tested several times and is completely trustworthy. The crescent moon white didn't pull him away, and the snow in the water didn't pull him away, so who else could pull him away? Therefore, Yun Tianjia was the best candidate for this assignment.

Yun Tianjia said seriously: "As a soldier, when I receive an order, how can I pick the fat and choose the thin, fear the evil and fear the difficulties? I will definitely do my best to live up to my mission." ”

After Yun Tianjia came to the Star Soul Continent, he grew from a despised logistics soldier to a high-level soul master and a five-star divine arithmetic who was looked up to, which is also a small achievement, but it is like a student who has studied for more than 20 years and finally got a doctorate, although it is very remarkable, but it has not really begun to generate value.

How could a person like Yun Tianjia, who had always been particular about dedication, be able to live a life of only asking and not giving? Of course, he was eager to do something to repay the cultivation of the Tuhao Empire and the Shield King's Mansion.

In other parts of Western Xinjiang, there are the double constraints of He Xiaoduo and Long Yuandong, and it is difficult to let go of his hands and feet after all. Out of the outside, it is the sky high for the birds to fly, the sea is wide with the fish jumping, you can enjoy it, no matter how you toss, no one will take care of it, isn't it wanton swaying, hearty?

More importantly, he can also take this opportunity to expand the scope of finding He Tingting, although the sea of people is vast, the probability of finding it is still very small, but it is better than waiting on Shizhu Island.

Therefore, in the face of this errand that everyone complained about, he was reckless and looked forward to it.

He Xiaoduo said happily: "It's a long way to go to the mountains, and it's best to have a caring person to take care of it." Luo Erniang recommended herself and said that she wanted to accompany you, but I couldn't resist it, so I had to agree. When you leave in three days, remember to take her with you. ”

Yun Tianjia remembered Luo Erniang's kindness of cutting her eyes, and of course she was happy to have her with her. I'm afraid that the military life is hard and boring, and she will be wronged.

But then I thought about it, Luo Erniang was originally a shadow child inserted in the Tuhao Imperial Army by the crescent moon, her identity had already been known by He Xiaoduo, and her situation was sensitive and embarrassing, He Xiaoduo was in charge of the two guards and forbidden troops, so it was naturally inconvenient to keep her by her side, so she was assigned to our army, which not only eliminated the risk of leaking secrets, but also did not have to break her face, and at the same time fulfilled Luo Erniang's wish, but also killed multiple birds with one stone.

He Xiaoduo decided on a big matter, so he had a banquet with the generals, Yun Tianjia drank a few cups of grass, and his mind turned to He Tingting, secretly thinking: "I hope that God will help me a lot on this trip, so that I can learn her whereabouts." ”

As for what kind of difficulties will be encountered in the integration and surrender of the army, he did not think much about it.
