The cavalry is enough to maintain the current size, and we will wait until we take the horse breeding land.

The weakness of the foot pawn is that it is not very powerful, but this can be remedied.

In recent years, Li Yue captured many Xianbei and Xiongnu as herding slaves, and raised hundreds of thousands of livestock, including horses, donkeys, mules, and camels.

The quick maneuver of the load foot is enough.

Although the horse is fast, it does not always maintain a high-speed run, and in most cases it is a trot and a rest.

Another great advantage of donkeys, mules and horses is that they are easy to feed, and during the march, it is enough to gnaw some grass and feed some salt, and when they encounter the point of running out of food, they directly kill livestock for food.

Li Yue started from the middle base army first.

Each person has an iron collar, a bow or crossbow, fifty arrows, a spear, and a ring-headed sword, and on a long march, each person is equipped with two livestock, one to carry armor, grain and grass, and one to carry people.

A short march on two legs is enough.

The previously ambiguous guerrilla armies and backbone armies were all turned into foot soldiers.

All the horses were supplied to the cavalry battalion, the light cavalry battalion was abolished, those who were good at riding and shooting were included in the cavalry army, and the others were either retired or incorporated into other armies.

Changes have also been made to the previous unit.

Since then, there have been no spearmen, sword and shield hands, and crossbowmen in the army.

Li Yue set the standard: holding a spear in his hand, a sword hanging from his waist, carrying a shield, fifty crossbows and crossbows, carrying three days' food, and marching eighty miles in one day, those who can immediately enter the battle are elite.

In fact, the stamina and physical strength of the people of this era were far stronger than those of later generations.

In an era when everything depends on both hands and feet, the most important thing is physical strength, and ordinary farmers can easily pick up two or three hundred catties of heavy objects and travel dozens of miles.

The Black Cloud soldier weighed more than 60 catties all over his body, and he was still within the range of bearing.

In the past two years, the Black Cloud Army has filled its stomach, and it can still eat meat every three or five times, and its physical fitness has been greatly improved.

Li Yue always firmly believes that soldiers are not expensive, but more expensive.

Give them three months to adapt and train, and after three months, if they really can't meet the standards, they will either retire or retreat into the town armies in various places, and similarly, if the town armies in various places can meet the requirements, they will be directly transferred to the main force of the Black Cloud Army.

"If the hard-nosed in the army are unwilling to retire...... And how? Liu Qun had palpitations.

In these years, rebellions are commonplace, the Black Cloud Army has always been fierce, such a big move, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied,

"Is military order child's play? The Black Cloud Army also needs to eliminate the old and weak, and those who do not obey will be dealt with by their own military law! Li Yue was not worried.

Repelling the Yan army, Li Yue's reputation in the army is skyrocketing.

There are officials in the army, and there are school affairs in the dark, and when there is a disturbance, it cannot escape their ears and eyes.

Coupled with the desperate black cloud general, Li Yue didn't believe that anyone could make trouble.

This time is also a test of control over the army, Li Yue can release part of the governing power, but the Black Cloud Army must be firmly grasped.

Spit out the old and embrace the new, and the way of heaven is reasonable.

Over the years, the Black Cloud soldiers have had a farmhouse, a woman, and money, and their living standards have risen, and some people are reluctant to play with their lives on the battlefield.

It's human nature.

This military reform is precisely to eliminate these people, replenish fresh blood, and maintain the fighting desire of the Black Cloud Army.

In fact, the retirement system is a favor for the vast majority of non-commissioned officers.

Wei and Jin soldiers, fifteen to the battlefield, even if they live to be sixty years old, they will never want to retire, become more bitter and tired baggage soldiers, for the front line to deliver grain and grass.

Even if he dies, someone must replace him......

After the military order was issued, there were indeed some complaints in the army, and Li Yue could understand the normal feelings of people.

However, there were some complaints, and under the persuasion of the Honglu officials, they finally accepted it.

A small number of soldiers earned enough land and were tired of fighting, so they offered to retire.

Li Yue did what he wanted.

However, after retiring, they did not stay out of the matter from now on, and in the event of a war against the country, the military department had the right to re-recruit them.

Under the scorching sun, all kinds of training of the Liang army were in full swing, and Hebei was full of Liang troops, rushing from Yecheng to Xingyang, from Xingyang to Xuchang, and from Xuchang to Bohai.

Along the way, wild beasts, bandits, and rogues became their prey.

Li Yue thought that many people would be eliminated, but in just one month, eighty percent of them met the standard, and many people even exceeded this standard.

He can carry a hundred heavy loads, and he can march eighty miles in half a day.

The remaining twenty percent are the town troops that have been supplemented from all over the country, mainly because they are not adaptable, and their physical fitness is not as strong as that of the old black clouds.

These can be overcome, three months is enough time for them to complete the transformation.

Just when the military reform was in full swing, something happened in Yanzhou in the south.

Wang Meng is worthy of a fierce word.

As soon as he arrived in Yanzhou, he immediately made a drastic move.

Fang Mo, Fang Kuang, Hao Luo, Cui Xiao, Han Yin, Tian Xian, and other Kanto scholars were used as officials, starting from the prison, thoroughly investigating the backlog of old cases in various counties and counties in Yanzhou over the years, and turning out a lot of old accounts.

The world is in turmoil, and it is also the time for the powerful to make a windfall and take advantage of the opportunity to grow.

Unite with unjudicial officials, bully men and women, forcibly occupy fertile land, and force people to be slaves.

Wang Meng has only been in office for a month when he set off a storm in Yanzhou.

All those who committed crimes against him were severely punished, and 175 officials who were lawless in the streets were beheaded, and more than 1,000 people from the Haoqiang clan were imprisoned.

Even the Liu family, the Zheng family, and the Bian clan did not hesitate, and those who committed the crime were all arrested by the Black Cloud Iron Cavalry, and those who should be beheaded were beheaded, and those who should be exiled were exiled.

The heroes have been rampant for hundreds of years, and some people have knives, food, and dock forts in their hands, so they naturally don't want to suffer from this breath.

Dongjun, Jibei, Taishan counties are the most ferocious, and there are thieves and robbers rushing into the county seat at every turn, attacking the government office, killing officials, and burning the government office clean.

When it was done, it disappeared without a trace.

It's a pity that what they encountered was Wang Meng, and these methods had no effect on Wang Meng.

It was soon found out that it was Chen, Bao, and Zang behind it.

Immediately led three thousand black cloud elite starry night raids, uprooting the heroes in the dock fort, beheading all the suzerains, and reducing the rest to slaves.

And in such a small action, 50,000 people, 70,000 acres of fertile land, and 800,000 grain and grass were cleared.

The king moved hard, and the heroes were not to be outdone, and made an army of 10,000 people to attack Yuncheng, and ambushed the city in advance.

How could Wang Meng wait for their army to attack?

Since Li Yue is behind him, the scouts and school affairs are naturally at his disposal.

As soon as the army of Haoqiang was assembled, Wang Meng's three thousand black cloud elites were killed.

It's okay for the powerful army to bully and bully the people, but in the face of the Black Cloud Army, it is not an opponent at all, Gao Yun and Duan Zhen will collapse the army on the other side as soon as they charge.

More than 4,000 people were killed on the spot.

Haoqiang was shocked, and Yanzhou was shaken.

Recitals calling for Wang Meng's removal flew like snowflakes from all over the country.

The assassination of Wang Meng became more and more rampant, and at its peak, there were nine assassinations in one day.

Fortunately, the school office has grown up for so many years, and secretly strengthened protection, Gao Yun and Duan Zhen took turns guarding day and night, Wang Meng was accompanied by more than 100 guards when he went in and out, and there were people who tested poison when he ate and drank......
