In the early morning, just after midnight, a violent drum beat sounded in the barracks......

Under the drum, the soldiers got up to wash, and the fireman cooked on the fire. Before the second drum sounded, the soldiers of each tun had a meal in advance, and when the drums sounded, the commanders and even chiefs named the soldiers, and the chiefs of each tun needed to go to the school to see Huo Jun.

On the school ground, Huo Jun had already finished washing up, waiting for the officers above the commander level.

Holding the long sword in his hand, Huo Jun cleared his throat and said: "Today's practice of the ears and eyes, Zhutun stands neatly according to yesterday, ranks in a phalanx, listens to the orders of the military flag, practices the advance and retreat, distinguishes the military horn, the superior is rewarded, and the inferior are punished." ”

There are four training methods that Huo Jun has come up with, namely, training the march, that is, the queue; practice courage, that is, military discipline; training the ears and eyes, that is, arranging the troops; Practicing hands and feet, that is, personal martial arts.

It is not difficult to practice the army, according to Wu Qi's Art of War, one person learns to fight, and teaches ten people; Ten people learn to fight, and teach hundreds of people; 100 people learn to fight, teach thousands of people; Thousands of people learn to fight, and teach thousands of people; 10,000 people learn to fight and teach the three armies.

Huo Jun had 500 soldiers, and it was not difficult for them to train 500 members of the Gao clan who had just joined the team. In terms of military discipline, it takes years of accumulation before it can be feasible.

At the moment, allowing Gao Xiang's subordinates to advance and retreat freely under Huo Jun's command is an important thing at the moment.

"No!" More than two dozen officers bowed their hands and answered.

After receiving the order to lead the army, he returned to the camp and told his subordinates about today's affairs.

The three-way drum sounded, the five-color flag on the school field has been distributed, the front red flag, 100 people are a bo, divided into three bo, each bo also holds the red flag, but the border color is different, respectively, marked as blue edge, yellow edge, white edge.

The army of the Han Dynasty was organized with 25 people, 5 people for a team, 10 people for a ti, 50 people for a tun (tunchang), 100 people for a hundred people (Bochang), 500 people for a song (military waiting), 1,000 people for a school/school (school captain), and 5,000 people for a battalion (general)

The blue flag on the left is divided into two flags, and the flag is also a blue flag, mixed with other side colors; The white flag on the right is also divided into two parts, and the color of the flag is according to the previous one. ……

In ancient times, there was a lack of communication equipment, and communication relied on roaring, and the flag language on the battlefield was also crucial. And this is also the most difficult place to get started, you need to arrange a set of flag slogans and make them familiar to the people under your command.

Huo Jun is not like the disciples of Jiangmen who teach flag language, but as a modern person, he knows the rehearsal combinations in mathematics, and the different combinations can be used to create different meanings. Just like the Morse code, ·— represents A, and —·is N, and the same is true for flags.

Huo Jun has been in Zhijiang for so many years, and through self-research, he has come up with a set of flag words. With the size of the army, in order to evolve, he also made improvements in the flag, such as not changing the color of the flag, changing the side of the flag. If the number continues to increase, he can make a fuss from the tassels on the top of the flag.

When the drums stopped, thousands of people were divided into five divisions and formed a phalanx on the school grounds.

Huo Jun stood on the school ground, and saw that the colors of the five parts were roughly the same, but within the five parts, because of the difference in the color of the flag, there was a difference.

The spring breeze blew, the banner hunted and hunted, and Huo Jun's robe moved with the wind. Gao Xiang and Huo Du stood on the left and right with their swords.

Seeing that it was time to start, Huo Jun said to the two behind him: "The dispatch of the army is all in the flag and drum horn, so the flag of the general must not be forgotten, and you need to keep it in mind." Listen to me, both of you, and remember the commands I have spoken. ”

"No!"

Huo Jun glanced at the audience and said in a deep voice: "The horn sounds, the Ming army, the five-colored flags." ”

"Whew!"

A thick horn sounded, which was a transmission of military orders on behalf of the Chinese army, and all the officers in the phalanx looked at the high platform.

"Raise the big red flag!"

A large red flag symbolizing the front was raised in the fallen five-color flag, and the red flag in the front of the phalanx was raised to signal that they had received military orders.

"Raise the red flag."

A triangular red flag was raised on the high platform, and the triangular red flag was immediately raised in the front.

In the front, Huo Yuan pulled out his long sword and shouted, "The marching drum is sounding!" ”

"Boom!"

The order was heard, and the snare drummers in each tun wielded the drum hammer and struck the drum surface.

"Forward!"

Accompanied by the sound of marching drums, the three hundred soldiers in the front slowly moved forward.

"Lower the red flag and raise the white flag."

The white flag was immediately raised in the front, and the three hundred soldiers turned straight to the right.

"Sound the horn, raise the big blue flag, and raise the red flag again."

The left part received the order and immediately moved forward.

"Sound the horn and lower the red flag."

As soon as the horn blew, everyone's eyes looked at the high platform again, and Huo Yuan, who had received the military order, ordered the standard-bearer to lower the red flag and stop marching at the front.

Huo Jun's eyes were firmly fixed on the school ground, and a series of flags + military orders spit out from his mouth. In the eyes of others, it was like a book of heaven, but in his mouth it formed an order to mobilize the army to march.

The trumpet signaled the ministries to listen to the order, and the five colored flags were divided into five parts. The five-color flag of the tree, and the five-color pennant of the rear tree, is to dispatch the ministry. When Huo Jun conveyed the military order, he also introduced the main points of the flag to the two.

Gao Xiang and Huo Du listened to Huo Jun's password, and while instructing their subordinates to transcribe, they listened carefully to the main points of Huo Jun's story.

The more Gao Xiang listened, the more he admired the Huo Senjun in front of him, this kind of thing was originally a secret transmission of his own family, but he was taught to them by Huo Senjun. And the main points of the complaint are clear and logical, as if these peculiar flag words are the language he usually speaks.

For Huo Jun, arranging troops is not something that ordinary people can learn, the people of the late Han Dynasty lack mathematical and rational training, and their logical thinking is not strong enough, unless they are born with talent and receive excellent education from an early age, it is still relatively difficult to learn.

And the more troops involved in this kind of army movement, it means that you need to think twice as much about these things. This complex logical arrangement often consumes a lot of people's energy. Once the scale reaches the upper limit of the brain's operation, it also means that the number of troops and horses you dispatch has reached the upper limit.

After commanding for about half an hour, Huo Jun saw that some of the military formations on the school field had begun to be chaotic, so he ordered his subordinates to rest and reorganize the team.

"How?" Huo Jun asked Gao Xiang and Huo Du and asked.

"Okay, it's a bit more complicated than five hundred." Huo Du replied.

Gao Xiang scratched his head and said, "I can only remember the main points, and forget everything else." ”

Huo Du had the experience of commanding 500 people before and was more familiar with it, while Gao Xiang was a little unfamiliar with Huo Jun's training method.

Huo Jun commanded: "Later, Huo Beibu will command the drill first, and the two of you will observe each other." ”

"No!"

……

The starry sky is brilliant, the cicadas of insects in the wilderness are endless, and the yellow shot on the ship is holding a banquet, chatting and laughing with the guests.

Huo Jun found an opportunity for no one, stepped forward and asked, "Young General, what does the prince mean?" ”

Huang Jie blushed slightly, and said: "Huo Senjun should be unfounded, Sun Ce died suddenly, Sun Quanchu succeeded to the throne, how dare you offend me Jiangxia." And my father has ordered Xisai Mountain and other border camps to tighten martial law. ”

As he spoke, Huang Jie patted Huo Jun on the shoulder and said, "Zhong Miao is eager to seek merit, and he can understand when shooting." It's better to be patient for one or two, and wait for the eldest son's army to go south, and then there will be an opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”

After speaking, Huang Zhu pulled the singer and put his hands up and down, so unhappy.

Seeing this, Huo Jun silently got off the boat and boarded the boat heading to the camp.

Huo Jun stood on the boat, looked at the ship behind him that was used for feasting and drinking, and sighed, a little helpless.

Since he benefited from the soldiers to Jiangxia, it seems that it has not had much impact on Jiangxia, drinking wine, dancing and dancing, and boating and swimming. I also met Huang Jie a few times because of the banquet, that Jiangxia guarded Huang Zu, he hadn't seen it yet, it seemed that his arrival or not was no different to him.

Sun Ce has only been dead for a few years, how dare these people be so relaxed, no wonder Sun Quan came to the door in the future and cut off Huang Zu's head!

After getting off the boat, Huo Jun did not return to the camp, but found Gan Ning's camp. Gan Ning's newly built camp is on the side of Huo Jun's camp, although the two sides had conflicts in the early days because of the camp, but under Huo Jun's modesty, the relationship between the two sides has risen instead of falling.

After a rumor, Huo Jun entered Gan Ning's big tent, and saw that Gan Ning was drinking and talking with Su Fei, and he was a little excited.

"Brother Xingba!"

"Brother Yunlong!"

"Zhong Miao!"

Su Fei's character Yunlong, his temperament is different from that Yunlong brother, but similar to that Yunfei brother, a pure soldier, who knows the general situation, knows Gan Ning's bravery, and has recommended him several times, but unfortunately Huang Jie and Huang Zu can't be reused.

As for why, it's very simple, the father and son hate Gan Ning, thinking that he is unavoidable, brutal and vulgar, and he can't pee in the same pot as a scholar like them who pursue literary style.

But this is also Huang Zu, Huang Shot's father and son's lack of understanding of the world, they still thought that Jingzhou would be the former peaceful paradise, but they didn't know that Jingzhou had become someone else's meal.

Su Fei took a wine bottle for Huo Jun and asked, "Zhong Miao, isn't it a banquet with the young general?" How did you come here again today? ”

Huo Jun poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile: "What is there to drink with that group of insects, a group of people who are full of private pockets and sycophants, Jun is ashamed to be in the same case with them." ”

"Haha!"

Gan Ning raised the wine bottle, toasted a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "I salute Zhong Miao." ”

"You wait for the two!"

Su Fei diverted the topic and said: "Recently, watching the Zhongmiao soldiers and horses drill, its sergeants are strict and neat, like arms and fingers, even in Jingzhou, there are few people. ”

"Indeed!" Gan Ning nodded and said.

"Brother Yunlong's strength lies in selecting generals, commanding boat masters, and training sailors; The strength of Xingba lies in the confrontation between the two armies or the fierce battle of the naval army, driving the boat, commanding the brave soldiers, and slaying the enemy. Huo Jun said.

Huo Jun is not proud of his talent, everyone has different talents, and the role they can play is also different. The true commander of the army is not a man who can solve everything.

Su Fei was able to become the governor of Jiangxia and make Sun Quan hold a grudge, and he was able to find the forgotten pearl of Gan Ning from it, which shows that he is still capable.

As for Gan Ning, when the two armies are in a fierce battle, it is necessary to rely on Gan Ning's fierce future to change the situation on the battlefield. The more he got to know Gan Ning, the more he marveled at Gan Ning's superior strength in water battles, just as extraordinary as Guan Yu in cavalry battles.

Listening to Huo Jun's praise, Su Fei and Gan Ning were quite useful. Especially Gan Ning, he admires Huo Jun very much, Huo Jun not only has outstanding strength in military strategy, but also Huo Jun's extremely high cultural literacy.

Gan Ning is quite similar to Zhang Fei, although he is brutal, he respects the scholars who are close to him.

When he was a teenager, Gan Ning was high-flying, but after he was in his twenties, he began to study the doctrine of the hundred schools of thought, trying to make a difference and establish a reputation. After Liu Yan entered Shu, Gan Ning was promoted to Ji Peng, and then promoted to Shu County, which can also be said to be both civil and military.

Huo Jun put his arm around Gan Ning and said with a smile: "Although Zhong Miao is good at governing the army, he is quite puzzled by the fierce water battle. I don't know if Xingba can teach me to fight bravely. And if Xingba does not give up, Jun can also train Xingba's subordinates in exchange. ”

"Good!" Gan Ning was quite excited and said: "Ning has this intention for a long time, but I am afraid that Zhong Miao is unwilling, how can he not want it now." ”

The three of them chatted for a long time, and Su Fei asked curiously, "Why is Zhong Miao diligent in training recently?" ”

Huo Jun hesitated a little and said: "Jun thought that Jiang Zuo would use troops against Jiangxia, so he was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to benefit Jiangxia." However, when it was reported to the king, he didn't care, and only asked his subordinates to tighten their guard. ”

"Jiang Zuo's attack?"

Gan Ning and Su Fei glanced at each other, but did not speak.

"Exactly!" Huo Jun said: "Sun Quan has been on the throne for two years, and his position has stabilized. However, the prestige is insufficient, it is difficult to convince the public, and now in order to deter the counties, I am afraid that Jiangxia will use troops. However, I see that the armies are slack, and there is little drilling, so I am worried. ”

"Haha!"

Gan Ning slammed the wine bottle on the table, spilled the wine, and said in a loud voice: "If Sun Quan dares to come, it will be the time for me to make a contribution." ”

Su Fei drank the wine and said arrogantly: "It is also the time when I Su Yunlong is strong. ”
