Seeing that his uncle was going to drive people away, Xiao Jingxuan bowed and withdrew.

After that, under the leadership of Xiao Yan's personal guards, he went to select soldiers.

There were only a hundred people, so Xiao Jingxuan picked randomly in the broken barracks, and tried to pick some literate ones with some specialties.

After picking these people again, Xiao Jingxuan went back to the handsome tent to say goodbye to his uncle, and after some advice, Xiao Jingxuan said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Xiao Jingxuan took another hundred horses and some grain and grass, and then returned to Lingzhou with these people and two horses.

After returning to Lingzhou, Xiao Jingxuan summoned thirteen people, including Lei Ben, more than a hundred people, to find a place to gather at the south gate of Lingzhou City. After setting up the camp, Xiao Jingxuan sat up in the middle of the camp with everyone.

Xiao Jingxuan looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I have already met the governor of Longzhou. There is only so much support that can be provided in terms of manpower, and in three days, the governor will return to Longzhou.

In this way, our troops were divided into two routes, the cavalry left thirty men, and the rest of the men all went out to recruit troops, in groups of five. Go to the perimeter to recruit soldiers.

There is no cap, how much you can levy depends on your ability, and you can form a team by yourself. The time is ten days. A requirement is a normal requirement. Young and strong. Is there a problem with the rest of the people who will go with me to Longzhou to receive ordnance and food and wages? ”

The crowd took orders.

After the others dispersed, Xiao Jingxuan became worried. Now that the northwest has just gone through war, I'm afraid there are not many people who can be recruited.

Moreover, Fengzhou doesn't know what the situation is now, and he still has to prepare early.

In the afternoon, Xiao Jingxuan was about to eat with the soldiers, but at this time, a cavalryman on duty at the camp gate ran over and said, "There is a grain shipment coming." ”

With doubts, Xiao Jingxuan came to the camp gate, (said it was the camp gate, but in fact, there were only two cavalrymen patrolling.) I saw a general waiting in front of me with a food team.

After seeing Xiao Jingxuan, the general bowed his hand and said, "General Xiao is polite, he is the grain supervisor in the army, and he came to reward the army on the order of the marshal." ”

After speaking, he handed out a warrant and handed it to Xiao Jingxuan, Xiao Jingxuan took the warrant and looked at it, it turned out that the eldest prince had sent a hundred loads of grain and grass, a number of meat, a hundred altars of wine, fifty war horses, twenty pairs of iron armor, a hundred bows, and thousands of arrows. 100 pairs of swords and shields.

Looking at the list of materials in the warrant, Xiao Jingxuan sighed secretly, this great prince is really generous, just those war horses and iron armor are priceless things.

This favor is not good. Quietly put together the warrant. said with a smile: "It's hard work, general, it's better to go into the camp and have a drink." ”

"Don't dare, I have to go back to restore my life in the next place, and ask the general to count the supplies, and I can go back to my life in the next place."

"So, thank you very much." After speaking, he said to the cavalry guarding the door: "Come on, move the things back." ”

After the knight at the gate received the order, one of them returned to the camp to gather men.

Xiao Jingxuan acted as a clerk and began to count the number of materials, and after seeing that the number was about the same, he handed over the number to the visitor. (It's just that the stamp is used on the list of supplies.) ）

When the grain superintendent left, Xiao Jingxuan and everyone pulled the supplies back to the camp.

Looking at the supplies in the camp and more than forty donkey carts, hey, a little headache, this favor is a bit big.

The next day, the men of the battalion began to set out slowly, and went to various places to recruit soldiers.

Xiao Jingxuan originally planned to go to Longzhou, but this camp full of supplies couldn't be left like this.

So he set up a tent with those who kept his hands. A fence was erected.

It took two whole days, looking at the simple camp, Xiao Jingxuan was still a little satisfied.

Although this camp can only prevent gentlemen, not villains. With the current manpower, it's already very good to be able to do this.

On the third day, Xiao Jingxuan rushed to Longzhou with ten cavalry, leaving twenty cavalry to stay in the camp.

Before leaving, he also asked Zhang Sheng, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to take care of him, don't look at Xiao Jingxuan's cheap uncle who doesn't seem to have any strength now, but he doesn't believe that he killed Xiao Jingxuan, Zhang Sheng has no power of his own in Lingzhou.

The trip to Longzhou was very smooth, Xiao Jingxuan not only received the baggage and food of 5,000 people, but the key was to return 900 war horses.

Although this war horse is an inferior horse in Longzhou, it can also be used temporarily, isn't it?

After borrowing a unit from his uncle to help escort the supplies, Xiao Jingxuan returned to the barracks.

When Xiao Jingxuan arrived at the barracks, he was a little surprised to see the barracks, the originally somewhat desolate barracks were already full of life at this time.

Barracks also began to be erected. If it weren't for the cavalry on duty at the door, Xiao Jingxuan would have thought that he had made a mistake.

When I returned to the camp and asked, I learned that the various recruitment points were bringing back the recruited young men one after another. Because the time has not yet come, and the conscription is not over yet.

Two days later, after the conscription was over, the troops returned to the camp, which by this time already had some appearance.

Xiao Jingxuan gathered many people, Lei Ben, Xiao Ran, Zhang Kui, Li Biao, He Shaodong, Zhang Wenli, Zhang Wenming, Hu Zhihao, Yuan Xiaofeng, Zhao Keshuang, Wei Ming and more than a dozen people in the hundred horses,

Xiao Jingxuan looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, there are more than 6,000 young people in the camp now, and I plan to train here for half a month." ”

It turned out that Xiao Jingxuan planned to select his generals here.

So he told everyone about his plan, and Fengzhou City only had 5,000 soldiers according to the system.

Xiao Jingxuan planned to form a thousand light cavalry, four thousand infantry, and one thousand auxiliaries. However, Xiao Jingxuan didn't know the ability of his subordinates, so he decided to select a suitable general through training.

Xiao Jingxuan appointed all these people as team leaders, and the cavalry first selected the appropriate soldiers, and then the others took turns to select them.

A dozen of the cavalry, each of whom picks a hundred, the fittest survives, and those who are eliminated are filled with auxiliaries.

The remaining eight people including Lei Ben of Zuo Xiaowei, each with seven hundred people, the rules are the same, give them the places to be eliminated, and the eliminated people are filled into auxiliaries.

However, Xiao Jingxuan only has seven places for guerrilla generals in his hands, and whether they can get these seven places depends on their ability.

After everyone learned of Xiao Jingxuan's plan, they all geared up and planned to show their hands.

So in the following time, the barracks were very lively, and all the units were full of energy to fight for the position of guerrilla.

You must know that only by becoming a general can you call yourself the last general, only by becoming a chief can you call yourself a lowly general, and ordinary soldiers can only call themselves small.

Although they all explained the matter, Xiao Jingxuan was not idle, but became even busier.

Because I need to observe the abilities of each officer, as well as the people who have performed well in each department.

Among the various divisions, the cavalry, although the most veterans, was also the most difficult to train.

Because many of the recruits who were recruited could not even ride horses, this had to be taught from scratch.

The training of cavalry should not be rushed, because it is useless to work the soldiers, and they still need the strength of the mounts under their command.

So, if you go to the cavalry school, you will often see soldiers straddle benches and train.

It is useless for a unit to have good training, but also to have good military discipline.

Although the military regulations of Great Wei are already very comprehensive, there are seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings.

However, Xiao Jingxuan still added. Life, of course.

All soldiers, as long as they are not in time of war, must wash their feet every day, which can not only quickly relieve fatigue, but also prevent and treat various diseases.

There is also the fact that everyone, including Xiao Jingxuan, must line up to eat. And, as an officer, it is necessary to eat last.

At the same time, thatched huts were also set up in each battalion, and no one was allowed to defecate or defecate at will. Violators will be dealt with by military law.

These are quite average, Xiao Jingxuan's biggest reform is to set up a military card, each of the ten soldiers has a military card around his neck, which says the unit to which he belongs, and his name on the reverse side.

Although the benefits of Xiao Jingxuan's policies are not yet visible, as time passes, these benefits will be revealed one by one.

The biggest beneficiary of these policies is ordinary soldiers, and Xiao Jingxuan also has his own methods for ordinary generals. That is to teach the art of war.

You must know that the art of war and strategy in this era are mostly monopolized by various family lords.

If ordinary people want to learn the art of war, it is extremely difficult. If Xiao Jingxuan wasn't proud that his master was the sect master of the Wuji Yin Sect, he might not be able to learn it.

Every night, Xiao Jingxuan summoned officers in the army and above to study the art of war.

As time passed, half a month was coming soon, and Dabi was about to begin.

However, because the time was too short, it was difficult to see a person's talent, which made Xiao Jingxuan think about it for a long time before deciding on the candidate for guerrilla.

As a border army, it cannot be compared with the twelve in terms of regulation. The official rank is one level lower than that of the Twelve Guards.

The guerrilla general will be able to control thousands of armies and become the commander of the first rate. The sentry commander is only a captain of Zhaowu.

Xiao Jingxuan appointed Lei Ben, Zhang Kui, Zhang Wenli, and Hu Zhihao to temporarily act as foot guerrillas, and the sentry commander was not appointed for the time being. The cavalry was personally commanded by himself, and there were two guerrillas, Gao Xiaohui and Li Xiaoyun. At the same time, Wei Ming, who was born in cavalry, was appointed as an auxiliary guerrilla. Regarded as a grain overseer.

After this was done, the troops also had to be pulled out.

But before you get started, you still have to say goodbye to some people.

First of all, Zhang Sheng, the general of the left Xiaowei, and Yu Wenhuai, the general of the left battalion. Qin Feng, Hu Tieshan.

After saying goodbye to these people, there is another person, and that is the Great Prince.

It's also the hardest. First of all, as a border general, it is still taboo to have too close relations with the prince.

Not to mention that he inherited the favor of King Jin and had a good relationship with King Jin, even his identity as the Duke of Liangguo was not allowed to do so.

But after all, he has received the arms and baggage of the eldest prince, and he owes the eldest prince a favor. In addition, the eldest prince is now the commander of the army. It's not proper to go.

It's hard......

But in the end, Xiao Jingxuan found a way that was not a solution.

When Xiao Jingxuan inspected the armies of the eldest prince, he went to the marshal's mansion to pay respects, and then left a post of worship before leaving.

In this way, it not only completes the number of courtesies, but also avoids taboos. It's just that no one is stupid, and they all know it in their hearts.

After visiting these people, Xiao Jingxuan led the army to Fengzhou City.
