Daluze, Julu County, Jizhou.

Unlike other swamps, the vegetation around the continent is very luxuriant, especially the huge dense forest to the south, which is the largest of all the dense forests in Julu County.

But now, the middle of this dense forest has been "hollowed out", and the giant trees in the middle have been cut down to form a huge forest flat.

On the flat ground, a huge school yard was built.

At this time, on the school field, everywhere as far as the eye can see, the tendon meat has become the most beautiful scenery among them, here is the spring of strong men, and here is the stage of warriors.

With a touch of sunshine shining in the huge school yard in the early morning, all the selected wrestlers, under the orders of the commander, lined up in a neat line, waiting for the order of the peak.

They wore yellow scarves on their heads and exposed their upper bodies, and because they were all carefully selected, these wrestlers were all muscular, burly and strong men.

Coach Zhang Liang looked at the neat array and was somewhat comforted, in order to get these 20,000 wrestlers and shooters, he spent several months, almost running all the camps in Taiping Road......

Of course, he also knows that these people can only be regarded as good things at present, most of them are just ordinary people with a better foundation, and they still have to go through a lot of polishing to form combat power, if they want to become real elites, there is still a long way to go.

However, it's not like a good start to ......

Zhang Liang was still thinking about something, and there was a report from the guards behind him, and his eldest brother Zhang Jiao and second brother Zhang Bao had arrived outside the school.

"Big brother, middle brother, when do you come, why don't you let my brother know."

Zhang Liang immediately walked quickly to the gate of the school, and asked in a rough voice.

"When the eldest brother learned that you were done, he couldn't sit still, so he came to congratulate you!"

When Zhang Liang approached, Zhang Jiao had not yet spoken, and Zhang Bao on the side said with a smile.

"Two brothers, please come in and read it, eh, Liang knows that it is not easy to govern the army at this time, this kind of wrestler can only be seen from afar, but in fact, there is no combat power, if you want to achieve elite soldiers, it is difficult, it is really difficult!"

Zhang Liang said with a wry smile while welcoming the two into the gate of the village to inspect the wrestlers.

"Oh? Why is that? This matter is very important, what are the difficulties, although the third brother said bluntly. ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's complaints, Zhang Jiao couldn't help frowning and asked out loud.

Now the top priority of Taiping Dao is the formation of these wrestlers and archers, although Zhang Jiao is not very good at military affairs, he knows the importance of military power.

Last year, because of the support of the local scholars, Qu Shuai recruited strong men to buy armor and made a lot of private soldiers come out, so he began to disobey Zhang Jiao's control and constraints, which gave him a headache for a while.

This is all due to his lack of strength, at present, because Zhang Jiao is the founder of Taiping Dao, and he has quite prestige among ordinary sects, these people will not do anything out of the ordinary, but it is difficult to say after a long time.

Therefore, he very much expects this newly formed army to take shape quickly.

"Eldest brother, this is not a place to care, why don't you take the eldest brother on a tour for a week, and then a few generals among the generals can introduce it, and then I will wait to discuss it again?"

Zhang Liang knew that his eldest brother was in a hurry, but now that he learned that the great sage and good teacher had arrived, the eyes of all the wrestlers were gathered here, and it was not a good time to discuss the details, so he reminded.

"In that case, let the third brother lead the way......"

Zhang Jiao, who was reminded by his younger brother, also realized the burning and adoring eyes of everyone in the school field, so he resumed his light tone and said to Zhang Liang.

For this kind of high-profile scene, Zhang Jiao has long been accustomed to it, and he has a lot of experience in coping, and after the three of them walked to the point platform, Zhang Jiao ignited everyone's emotions with a few words, and then he raised his hand leisurely to signal everyone to continue training.

At this time, Zhang Liang summoned three general-like figures in the army to introduce Zhang Jiao one by one.

One is named Guo Daxian, who was originally a member of the party in the state, but because he was implicated in the party dispute, he fled to Julu overnight, and was discovered by Zhang Liang and recruited.

He was physically strong, infinitely powerful, and had also learned a set of family stick skills, and his martial arts were also the highest among the three, and Zhang Liang ordered him to be responsible for training the wrestlers in battle skills.

One is named Li Damu, a native of Changshan, Jizhou, originally a hunter, hunting in the Taihang Mountains all the year round, only because of a sudden change in his family, he had to take refuge in Taiping Road.

He has large eyes, excellent eyesight, and excellent archery skills, and is currently teaching archery to archers.

There is also a person named Bocai, who was the commander of the county soldiers of Youzhou, and knew a little about the art of commanding the troops, Zhang Liang appointed him as a deputy general to assist in leading the troops.

These three people were all born in poor people, and it can be seen from the fact that they all have no name, and Zhang Jiao is also quite satisfied after listening to the introduction.

After that, the three brothers watched the training of wrestlers and archers for a while, and Zhang Liang sent the rest of the people to the school barracks to discuss business.

"Third brother, this kind of training technique is not bad in my opinion, why did you say that it was difficult to achieve elite soldiers?"

As soon as the three of them sat down, Zhang Jiao asked a little eagerly.

Zhang Liang saw that his eldest brother was in a hurry, so he immediately explained it to him.

He believes that there are three main aspects of the army's combat strength, one of which is naturally training, but this is only the most basic.

The second is the blade armor, especially the armor, which is the threshold for becoming an elite.

The third is combat experience, which cannot be improved through training, and has a very obvious impact on the morale of soldiers and various combat capabilities.

And Zhang Liang can only start training now, and even because the archers do not have many bow and arrow equipment, it also affects the progress and effect of training......

"Armor and ordnance, didn't you transport a lot of them from Yuan's place last year?"

Zhang Jiao frowned when he heard this, thought about it and asked Zhang Bao on the side.

Zhang Bao listened to it, but said helplessly, that all of them had been transferred here.

"Eldest brother, the things sent by the Yuan clan are all old and damaged blades, and there is no armor at all, how could the scholar clan give us such a precious and rare thing, not to mention that the production of armor requires countless skilled craftsmen, but I am afraid that there are very few among the warrior clan......"

Zhang Liang heard that Zhang Jiao had fallen into a misunderstanding, and quickly explained.

Zhang Jiaogang wanted to be angry, and he was helpless when he heard that the scholar clan was not much, could it be that this elite soldier could not be trained?

Zhang Jiao was not reconciled, he sat silent for a long time, and the two brothers could only accompany him to think hard about good ideas.

"Second brother, why don't you join forces with the people of Longwei Mansion again to see if you can get some fine armor?"

After a while, Zhang Jiao had some ideas, and said tentatively to Zhang Bao.

After all, Longwei Mansion has been planning for many years, and the armor should have been prepared a lot.

"I'm afraid this is difficult, I went to Qingzhou last time to negotiate with the young master of Longwei, and it was very unpleasant that he couldn't mention anything, so I will go again this time ......."

Zhang Bao still replied helplessly.

But Zhang Jiao didn't care when he heard it, he asked Zhang Liang to try it and then say, if necessary, he could promise to give more people to Longwei Mansion at that time, anyway, he is painting a big pie now, and it is not up to him to decide whether to give it in the future......

In addition, he also remembered that not long ago, Qu Shuai Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao and others of Zhongshan Kingdom reported that they had successfully persuaded Yan Zheng, the minister of Zhongshan State, to join Taiping Dao.

Presumably, with official support, you should be able to get some armor.

Zhang Jiao immediately ordered someone to send an order to Cheng and Deng, telling them to think of a way, even if they couldn't get the armor, they could get some craftsmen to build the armor......
