The war on the northern front to encircle and suppress the remnants of Goguryeo was still ongoing. However, there is not much to look at, but the battle of Lieshui on the southern front was fought quite methodically under the command of the little general Zhao Zhenbang, which was very interesting.

There were 40,000 Liaodong troops under the direct command of Zhao Zhenbang, all of whom were carefully selected from the 80,000 prisoners of the old Liaodong army under the account of Gongsun Du in the past, and there were more than 10,000 elite soldiers trained by Guo Huai himself in Gaoxian City.

Gongsun Du's old army in Liaodong is naturally several levels inferior to the blue wolf army and the Xiong Zhen army, which are the king's card armies, but they are also formed troops, and they still have the foundation as a regular army. In order to ensure that the newly-born Liaodong Army will become the tiger and wolf division of the northeast in the future, and will not dampen Zhao Zhenbang's prestige, this little general has invested enough money since the establishment of the Liaodong Army.

Zhao Zhenbang first went to Changchun City in person, and with a good eloquence inherited from Zhao Xing, he dug up the famous general Guo Huai to his side, and also took Liu Yuan and Han Qi by the way. If it weren't for the fact that his good brother Dian Man's subordinates were really short of people available, he would have even planned to turn Liao Hua over.

It stands to reason that Guo Huai should be grateful for Liu Bei's reuse, how could it be so easy to be persuaded and recruited by a hairy young man who is five or six years younger than himself? But Zhao Zhenbang is not an ordinary hairy young man, he not only has a good eloquence, but also has a cheeky skin, and has a set of personal secret methods to win people's hearts and abduct people, so Guo Huai was still obediently put on a golden "chewing head" by Zhao Zhenbang, and became the second talent recruited by Xiao Zhao's classmates.

In fact, the reason why Zhao Zhenbang was able to successfully persuade Guo Huai was because of the rules set by his father Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing demanded that all armies should not beat, scold or insult the Han generals captured on the battlefield, and that they should be properly resettled in the rear, and although their personal freedom should be restricted, they should ensure the level of food and daily life, and at the same time, they should also provide books and newspapers and other things for their own entertainment in a timely manner.

The so-called quiet reflection and subtlety are probably Zhao Xing's basic tricks to deal with all the captured generals. No matter how hard your neck is, how you want to die at first to thank the old master, when you get to the rear, you will be shut down in the quiet courtyard, and then you will be left aside, love to die or not die, and slowly ponder it yourself! If you still don't want to die, then you have nothing to think about why you failed and were captured, if you don't understand, then read more newspapers from the Jin Kingdom, and ensure that you will come up with the eight-character mantra in the end, that is: "There is much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust!"

Once the captured generals recognized the current system of the Jin State and eliminated the feelings of opposition and resistance in their hearts, it was only a matter of time before they were persuaded to switch sides. This is the trick that Zhao Xing was able to easily subdue a large number of civil and military generals such as Ye Xiong, Lei Tong, Fu Zhu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou.

As long as there is no hatred of killing his wife and taking his children, who really wants to be buried in the market? Not to mention that the struggle between the Han people is far more than that "the Han and the thief do not stand apart", and the sea of blood and hatred is not shared.

Zhao Zhenbang took Guo Huai, Liu Yuan and Han Qi to personally go to the camp where the soldiers were under house arrest in the city, and the battalions were selected from camp to camp for the selection of new army soldiers. Due to the assistance of Guo Huai, Liu Yuan and Han Qi, Zhao Zhenbang naturally selected most of the low-level officers and soldiers in the old army of Liaodong.

These Liaodong soldiers, who have been imprisoned for almost a year, are thinking about the way out in the future. Since they were imprisoned in Changchun City in various ways, they have been completely disrupted from the structure and sequence, and they have been stationed and guarded according to a small camp of several hundred people, and have since become "caged birds".

In the past year or so, Li Hui, the chief housekeeper in Changchun City, has organized personnel to "brainwash" and educate the Liaodong soldiers, and with the complete destruction of Gongsun Du's power, the whereabouts of these 70,000 or 80,000 Liaodong soldiers have become a real problem.

Li Hui was very happy when he heard that Zhao Zhenbang was coming to arrest the soldiers. If he sent these big-headed soldiers out one day earlier, he would have to worry less, otherwise he would have to defend Changchun City and dare not leave, but he couldn't follow Zhang Xiu everywhere to be chic and comfortable.

The Liaodong soldiers, who were somewhat frenzied after being imprisoned, were even happier when they heard that they had the opportunity to go out and work in the gymnastics. Inside, they now know roughly what is going on outside, and the way out in the future is either to continue to serve as soldiers and eat military salaries, or to go home and farm. For most soldiers, they are still willing to choose to continue to serve in the army, not only because they have become accustomed to the life in the barracks, but also because the conditions offered by Zhao Zhenbang are too tempting.

After selecting 40,000 soldiers, Zhao Zhenbang asked Gan Ning to help and transported these whiteboard-like soldiers to the north shore of Lieshui in batches by sea boat. Subsequently, he assigned 40 young brothers who graduated from the Crouching Tiger Junior Class to regimental posts for training, and these backbones will become his most loyal and reliable force in the future.

The number of 40,000 troops is not ordinary, and before there is no suitable candidate, Zhao Zhenbang can only rely on the old generals in the Liaodong Army to make the transition. Because he did not have a military advisor, he took on two posts at the same time, and he was responsible for formulating the daily management and training system of the troops, and from time to time he also organized and carried out some activities to unite the morale of the troops and boost morale, and at the same time selected suitable candidates to join the ranks of officers at all levels.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhenbang's group of brothers are really strong, after they left Crouching Tiger City the year before last, although some people did not have the opportunity to flourish in Shouchun City like Zhao Zhenbang and Dian Man, but they were solidly trained in the army under Zhang Liao or Zhang Xiu. Don't look at all of them are no more than eighteen years old, but they are all veterans of leading soldiers, and each of them has the skills and means to take care of their families, and they can train the soldiers under their command to be obedient.

Now the 10,000 wolf-like soldiers in the blue wolf army are from the training of the juvenile class, and when it comes to the training methods of these dolls, even Zhang Xiu has been full of praise until now.

People say that if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate. Obviously, even if Zhao Zhenbang's teammates are not gods, they are not mortals. And they said, "If there is a bear, there will be a nest of bears." Obviously, neither Zhao Zhenbang nor his deputy Guo Huai is Xiong Bao.

Superimposing the above favorable and unfavorable factors together is the reality that Zhao Zhenbang has to face in the Liaodong Army today.

Adhering to his father's teachings, the young army commander did not rush or impatience to organize the training of the troops in accordance with the methods taught by his father, perfected the command structures at all levels, established strict and regular discipline, and trained the Liaodong Army into a unit that could go into battle within three months.

If there is a father, there must be a son, and he is really a hero!
