Liu Handong continued: "Fortunately, Zhuge Daxian has already made arrangements, and Mr. Zhuge Ming is the person he assigned to assist our talents. With the assistance of Mr. Zhuge , our Red Star Army can also form a battle formation and release battle qi skills, and we have a certain amount of capital to fight with the battle formation divisions and generals in the princes' armies, so that the senseless sacrifices of our soldiers can be greatly reduced. ”

"Therefore, I now officially announce that, after careful study, I have decided that Mr. Zhuge Ming is hereby appointed as the First Army Division of the Red Star Army, with full responsibility for the military affairs of the Red Star Army and the civil affairs within its jurisdiction! Mr. Zhuge is directly responsible to me, and all the soldiers are under his control. Now, please welcome our 1st Army Division of the Red Star Army with warm applause. ”

The soldiers in the audience and the surrounding crowd immediately applauded vigorously, and the valley resounded with long-lasting thunderous applause. Liu Handong stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the applause gradually stopped.

"Now, I would like to invite our First Army Division, Mr. Zhuge Ming, to speak!" Liu Handong said.

Zhuge Ming took two steps forward, looking at the enthusiastic and battle-spirited soldiers below, and a sense of confidence arose.

"Comrades, I am very grateful for the trust that my lord has placed in me! For such a heavy task, Zhuge Ming will definitely do his best to do everything to the best in order to repay the lord for his kindness to me. I, Zhuge Ming, will never let down my lord's trust in me. ”

"As the 1st Army Division, I feel a great responsibility. But I firmly believe that our uprising will succeed. Because, after what I have seen and heard in the past three days, I know why everyone is standing here. Half a year ago, everyone experienced the tragedy of the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, the young and other loved ones being eaten. Everyone is standing here to avoid such a human tragedy from happening again. ”

"Now, our family has been given the land, and we can barely make ends meet, and in a few months, when the grain in the field is harvested, our family will be able to eat enough. That's why we're willing to stand here and take up arms, because we want to keep the fruits of our uprising and the hope of our parents, wives and children. ”

"Today's Red Star Army has no food and salary, and may have to pay the price of their lives at any time, but we are still standing here, because we have no way out, because we are the last shield of our parents, wives and children, and for this, we must risk everything to launch an armed uprising."

"Everyone has a high fighting spirit and the courage not to be afraid of death, so I believe that as long as we undergo strict and systematic training, our army will be invincible."

"At the same time, our Red Star Army comes from the poor people, it is an army that fights the world for the people, our relationship with the people is thicker than water, and we still have the support of our women compatriots, as well as the full support of the rebel army children's team and the vast number of Li people, so our strength is infinite, therefore, our uprising will definitely succeed."

"In the future, I will strictly train you to make our Red Star Army an invincible artifact for the cause of the uprising, and I wish we all encourage you!" Zhuge Ming finally said.

The audience immediately burst into extremely warm applause.

After the applause stopped, Liu Handong came to the stage and said: "Comrades, after listening to Mr. Zhuge 's words, do you have greater confidence in the success of the uprising? Moreover, Mr. Zhuge has already planned the strategic development direction for our uprising. ”

"At the same time, in order to be famous, Mr. Zhuge found out that our Liujia Village also has royal blood. When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty, took over the world, he named one of his younger brothers the king of Lu. Time has passed, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the King of Lu lineage declined, and the surviving descendants fled to the mountains to hide, and our Liujia Village is the continuation of this line. ”

"Since we also have royal blood, Mr. Zhuge believes that in order to become famous and reduce the resistance to the cause of the uprising, we should formulate an uprising slogan that everyone can accept, that is, the red star shines, Kuang supports the Han family, rescues the Li people, and the prosperity is peaceful."

"Mr. Zhuge is really talented! Thinking back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, folk rumors said that the dragon and phoenix chicks could settle the world. Sure enough, Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Shu Han Dynasty, swept across the universe and dominated the world after the help of the two of them. ”

"Now I have the help of Mr. Zhuge Ming, that is, I have my Wolong, why worry that the world is not all owned by the people of Li. Therefore, in the future, everyone must train hard with Mr. Zhuge . ”

"Everyone must understand that only by sweating more in peacetime can there be less blood in wartime. There are sacrifices in battle, but we in the Red Star Army will never use our warriors as pawns that can be discarded at any time. ”

"We are all fighters for the cause of the uprising, and everyone's life is precious, and there is no distinction between high and low. Therefore, after careful study and decision by Mr. Zhuge and I, the following iron laws are formulated:

First, when fighting, generals at all levels of the army should take the lead in charging ahead.

Second, if the war is unfavorable and it is necessary to retreat, the generals at all levels of the army should be the last to evacuate.

Third, when deserters and traitors are killed.

Fourth, after the war is over, we must do our best to recover the remains of our fallen comrades, and hold a memorial service so that they can be buried in peace. ”

"Therefore, in the future, on the battlefield, even Mr. Zhuge Ming and I will charge in front and retreat in the rear, and be with everyone!"

Liu Handong's voice fell, and the audience immediately burst into crazy applause.

In the next two months, under Zhuge Ming's strict training, the Red Star Army was able to skillfully arrange troops.

And Liu Handong is also seizing the time to practice the "True Dragon Xiang" exercises. After two months of cultivation, the True Qi of the Purple Qi Dragon had grown several times stronger in his body, and it was constantly operating automatically in its meridians.

Maybe it's really because of the person who is destined to return, Liu Handong actually didn't have any obstruction when he practiced this exercise. His entry was very fast, and in just two months, he had broken through the triple realm one after another, namely the third "Ruler Dragon Realm", the fourth "Leaping Dragon Realm", and the fifth "Flying Dragon Realm", and had now cultivated to the sixth "Battle Dragon Realm". So far, Liu Handong has initially possessed a certain degree of self-protection ability.

In addition to practicing, Liu Handong also seized the opportunity to ask Zhuge Ming for knowledge of the battle array, and learned how to combine the exercises with the battle qi, so as to release the battle qi technique.

After more than two months of studying without sleeping and eating, Liu Handong has preliminarily mastered the defensive battle qi skill "Hidden Dragon Shield" (after combining the exercises with the battle qi to form a dragon shield for defense), the offensive battle qi skill "Seeing the Dragon Chong" (after the combination of the exercise and the battle qi to form a purple dragon rushing into the enemy formation), the offensive battle qi skill "Ruler Dragon Whip" (after the combination of the exercise and the battle qi to form a dragon-shaped whip to whip towards the enemy).

In September of the 200th year of the Shu Han calendar, the people in the uprising base area were very happy. Thanks to the beauty of God, the wind and rain were smooth this year, and the crops in the field were harvested. Each family only needs to hand over 20% of the grain to the Red Star Army as the Red Star Army's military rations, and the rest is their own. The common people looked at the grain piled up like a hill in the granary, and they were happy in their hearts.

An old man said to his son, who joined the army: "Son, you must work hard in the army, and you must guard the fields and the harvested grain. If you were a soft ass in the army, you wouldn't be my son. ”

When the child heard his father's words, he clenched his fists tightly and nodded violently.

Another wife said to her husband who joined the army: "My son, my father, there is food at home, and our mothers don't have to go hungry anymore." You need to train well in the army, and our mothers are counting on you to protect us. ”

When the man heard what his wife said, although he felt the responsibility on his shoulders, he was proud and proud in his heart, because he carried the family on his shoulders.

With the end of the harvest season, officials sent by the imperial court to collect rents also appeared in various villages. However, in previous years, a large number of rents could be recovered by just a few people, and the officials who had a lot of money and water not only did not receive the rent this year, but they were also imprisoned by the Red Star Army.

About half a month later, Kong Rong, the city lord of Kong City, finally noticed the abnormality. The grain collectors sent by themselves did not take back a single grain for half a month, and none of them returned.

Something abnormal must be a demon, although I don't know what happened, but it must be that these people have an accident, otherwise it is impossible for no one to come back. Could it be that those people are brave enough to resist rent? Kill all the officials who went down to collect rent?

Although Kong Rong felt that this was unlikely, in order to find out the truth of the matter, and just in case, he still decided to send the military general Kong Zhang to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to the villages to check the situation and collect rent. I believe that with these 1,000 soldiers and horses, it will be enough to deal with any situation.

After receiving the order of the city lord, Kong Zhang immediately ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, and confidently rushed to the suburban villages.

Half a day later, Kong Zhang led his troops to an open field. As he reached the center of the open field, he suddenly felt an alarm. I saw that there was no abnormality in the dense forests all around, but with many years of combat experience, Kong Zhang felt that there must be something abnormal in this place, so he ordered: "Formation, vigilance!" ”

After the soldiers lined up in a circular defensive formation, Kong Zhang carefully examined the surrounding situation, trying to find something abnormal.

In the depths of the dense forest, Liu Handong and Zhuge Ming stood side by side, and seeing that the other party did not enter the forest, Zhuge Ming said: "Lord, Kong Zhang is still a relatively experienced general, and he did not rush into the dense forest, it seems that he has discovered the abnormality, let's implement the second plan." ”

"Okay, please give the order, sir." Liu Handong said.
