Jia Huan thought in his heart, if he was comparing the martial arts of the bow and horse, he would not be able to compare with Zhou Tong.

If it is simply compared with strength, Jia Huan is confident that he will not be worse than Zhou Tong.

His strength continued to grow every day for several years, although it no longer grew by now, probably because he was an adult.

At this time, he also has the strength of three hundred catties in one arm, even if he does not have the strength of the overlord to carry the bravery, but compared with ordinary martial arts, it will be much more than ordinary martial arts.

He also practiced boxing, swordsmanship, and even archery for a while.

However, he is not proficient in the method of killing the enemy in military formation, and the riding technique is even more ordinary, and as for the art of riding and shooting and horse fighting, he is even more ignorant.

Compared with Zhou Tong, the general of the army, he is absolutely inferior.

And the soldiers in the army worship the strong the most.

Compared with the bravery in the army, it must not be comparable to Zhou Tong, and it must be done in another way.

After thinking for a while, Jia Huan suddenly came to mind.

After leaving the palace, Jia Huan did not go back to Ningguo Mansion, but went directly to Liufu.

At this time, Liu Xianglian was drinking and having fun at home, and when she saw Jia Huan coming, she was busy pulling Jia Huan to accompany him to drink.

Jia Huan smiled: "I can't care about drinking today, Brother Liu, your good days are over." ”

Liu Xianglian glanced at Jia Huan and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Today, I just received the Holy Lord's decree ordering me to build a new Red Flame Army, full of 10,000 people. I also gave me a deputy, Zhou Tong. ”

"But the rest of the recruits to the construction of the new army, all have to start from scratch, Brother Liu, isn't your good life over? From now on, I'm afraid the days when you can drink leisurely are numbered! ”

After listening to Jia Huan's words, Liu Xianglian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "The eldest husband has made great contributions, and it is the time!" ”

"Please also ask the general to teach me, what do you need me to do?!"

Good guy, Jia Huan called good guy!

When I heard that I was asked to form a Red Flame Army, the title immediately became a general.

Jia Huan smiled: "First of all, we have to choose a military camp for the Red Flame Army. Your Majesty has promised that you can let us choose one of the three battalions to serve as the barracks of our Red Flame Army. ”

"The three battalions will fully cooperate with us, and they will go to build new barracks. And the task of choosing which military camp is up to you. ”

After hearing Jia Huan's words, Liu Xianglian immediately patted her chest and promised: "General, please rest assured, this matter is on me." I will definitely pick the most suitable barracks. ”

After hearing this, Jia Huan nodded and said, "After selecting the military camp, the next thing to do is to select the new army. ”

"At present, the three battalions also need to replenish the new army, and they will need to replenish about 130,000. Of these, 70,000 were recruited from other local armies and 60,000 were newly recruited. ”

"Your Majesty promises that after the arrival of these 130,000 soldiers, our Red Flame Army will select the soldiers first."

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian immediately said: "General, we naturally choose those veterans. They are all trained in the military, and they can be trained easily. ”

Hearing Liu Xianglian's words, Jia Huan shook his head and said, "Brother Liu, our Red Flame Army doesn't want veterans, just new soldiers." ”

"Most of the veterans have been stereotyped, and most of them are soldiers. They are stereotyped and difficult to reshape. Recruits, on the other hand, take time to train, but they are highly malleable. ”

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian also nodded thoughtfully.

Jia Huan asked again: "I don't know what position Brother Liu wants to hold in the army?" ”

Liu Xianglian's military ability Jia Huan doesn't know for the time being, but at least he has a strong character and is trustworthy.

Therefore, Jia Huan did not arrange Liu Xianglian's position on his own initiative, but asked Liu Xianglian in advance.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xianglian couldn't help but say: "General, the last general is willing to be the general's own soldiers." ”

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Isn't your ambition to lead troops to fight and gallop on the battlefield?" Why do you want to be my own soldier? ”

Although the pro-soldier is the most trusted person of the general, and the treatment of the pro-soldier is also the best, but if you want to make meritorious contributions, it is still better to go into battle and kill the enemy faster.

After all, the task of the pro-soldiers is to protect the safety of the generals, and the generals of the first army are all strategizing and winning a decisive victory.

He doesn't go into battle shirtless to kill the enemy, so the chance of killing the enemy with his own soldiers is less than that of ordinary soldiers.

Hearing Jia Huan's question, Liu Xianglian couldn't help but say: "First, the general has the grace of knowing me, and I will protect the general well." ”

"Second, there is Zhou Tong in the army, and although I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, it is difficult for me to compete with the generals who grew up in his border army."

"Thirdly, I serve as a personal soldier, and I can also take the opportunity to accumulate more experience in leading troops in the army, as long as I follow the general, are you afraid that there will be no chance to lead troops in the future?"

After listening to Liu Xianglian's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile and said: "In this case, you will serve as the commander of my personal army and receive the title of centurion." ”

Liu Xianglian was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for the cultivation!" ”

Jia Huan laughed and helped Liu Xianglian up and said, "Why do you and I need to be like this? By the way, I will arrange for the children of the Mo family to serve as my personal soldiers, and you are also familiar with Mo Damo and other children of the Mo family, so you can also contact them more in the near future. ”

Liu Xianglian was overjoyed and said: "It's so good." ”

Liu Xianglian naturally knows the skills of those Mo family disciples, with them, as long as they are not besieged by the army, they will definitely be able to ensure that the general is foolproof.

Next, Liu Xianglian got busy.

On that day, he took a horse to observe the location of each barracks of the three major battalions, and finally selected the barracks of the Kokang battalion.

The camp was stationed in a place where the transportation was convenient, and there was a large open space for training horsemanship.

Other conditions are also better, and it is an excellent place to stay.

After the observation, Liu Xianglian reported the results to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan personally found Niu Jizong and proposed to camp in Kokang.

And Niu Jizong was originally the founder of the country, and he belonged to the same camp as the Jia family and had a close relationship.

At the same time, he also knew that Emperor Chongkang trusted Jia Huan, so he naturally would not make things difficult for Jia Huan in such small matters.

Niu Jizong happily agreed, promising that within ten days, the Kokang camp would vacate the barracks.

Next, Jia Huan asked when Niu Jizong's additional recruits would arrive, and when Zhou Tong would be able to arrive in the army.

Niu Jizong did not hide the slightest hint of these problems, and he knew everything and said everything.

It turned out that the recruits had to report to the three battalions after half a month, and when the time came, the Red Flame Army would select 10,000 soldiers first, and all the rest would be left for the three battalions.

As for Zhou Tong, the will given to him was one day later than that given to Jia Huan.

However, the border army is far away from the capital, and it will take some time for the handover in the army.

Niu Jizong speculated that it would take a month for Zhou Tong to arrive.

After getting these news, Jia Huan was completely relieved.

The window period left for him is about half a month.

In fact, for Jia Huan, it only takes three or five days to be enough.

If life is only as it first seems, it is not only for the relationship between men and women.

The first impression is very important, and since he is left with this window period, he is not afraid of anything.

Ten days later, the Kokang battalion moved out of the barracks, and Niu Jizong and Jia Huan went to the barracks together to complete the handover.

And in the past ten days, Jia Huan has not been idle, and worked with Liu Xianglian to formulate the military flag of the Red Flame Army, as well as the military uniform of the Red Flame Army.

After the handover was completed, the two exchanged the military flag in the barracks with the military flag of the Red Flame Army.

Since then, it has become the garrison of the Red Flame Army.

Liu Xianglian was stationed with fifty children of the Mo family, who were Jia Huan's own soldiers and the first batch of soldiers of the Red Flame Army.

Among the fifty children of the Mo family, Mo Da Mo Er is also impressively listed.

These fifty people were all carefully selected from among the children of the Mo family.

When they heard that they could be Jia Huan's own soldiers, they were all willing to do so.

Half a month later, all the 130,000 soldiers who replenished the three battalions were in place.

Niu Jizong sent someone to inform Jia Huan and ordered him to come and choose someone.

After learning the news, Jia Huan took Liu Xianglian and fifty personal soldiers to select new soldiers, which can be said to be all in battle.

There are a total of 10,000 recruits, and Jia Huan can't pick them alone.

And more than 50 people are selected together, and on average, one person can choose more than 200 soldiers, which can be much faster.

Before leaving, Jia Huan told them the principles of selecting new recruits.

First of all, all the recruits of the Red Flame Army were selected from the 60,000 recruits who had just been recruited.

Because they were to be filled into the three major battalions, these 60,000 recruits were originally selected by thousands of people.

Everyone can lift a hundred catties of stone locks, and there is no problem with physical fitness, so it also saves them the process of preliminary screening.

The second is to choose recruits who are burly and honest-looking.

Jia Huan only made these two demands.

Regarding the second requirement, Liu Xianglian was still a little puzzled, and quietly asked Jia Huan.

"General, why only select honest-looking recruits? Aren't those who are smarter easier to cultivate? ”

Jia Huan explained: "Honest-looking recruits have few thoughts, strong obedience, and will not be afraid of death in battle. On the contrary, those who are smart think too carefully, but it is easy to shake the morale of the army. ”

Liu Xianglian listened, and her face couldn't help showing a thoughtful look.

Soon, the group was in front of the 130,000 soldiers.

The so-called people are over 10,000, boundless.

In front of everyone, the 130,000 soldiers in front of everyone were black and oppressive, with almost no end in sight, stretching for more than ten miles.

Niu Jizong was waiting in front of the army early, and when he saw Jia Huan, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The champion hou has arrived, and now all the soldiers are here, please start the selection of the champion hou." ”

Jia Huan gave a military salute and said with a smile: "Uncle Niu, don't make fun of the little nephew." By the way, Uncle Niu, this time our Red Flame Army only selects soldiers from among the recruits. ”

"Therefore, the 70,000 veterans can be disbanded."

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Niu Jizong's face showed a different color, but he didn't say anything.

Niu Jizong immediately ordered to go down, ordered the veterans to disband, and personally took Jia Huan to the front of the recruits.

Then he ordered his subordinates to cooperate with him, and after doing all this, Niu Jizong left.

60,000 recruits, every 10,000 people in a team, a total of six teams.

The people brought by Jia Huan were all fifty-two people.

The fifty-two people dispersed and began to select recruits from six recruits according to Jia Huan's requirements.

It took them more than half a day to select 10,000 recruits.

Next, Jia Huan took this blank-looking recruit to the Red Flame Army garrison.

When he arrived at the station, Jia Huan did not start to lecture immediately.

They picked people for most of the day, and the 10,000 recruits stood with them for most of the day.

At this time, I must be tired and hungry, and the effect of teaching at this time must not be any better.

Liu Xianglian selected a hundred recruits who could cook from among the recruits to act as temporary leaders and let them light fires to cook.

Half an hour later, the meal was ready.

Liu Xianglian also instructed the recruits to line up for dinner.

Jia Huan secretly observed and found that Liu Xianglian was doing quite well, so Jia Huan was relieved.

Next, 10,000 confused recruits began to eat in a daze.

And when they arrived at the dinner table, they saw the food they ate, and the 10,000 recruits were completely shocked.

There are ten recruits at a table, and there are actually four dishes on each table, and two dishes have meat, can you believe it?

Except for a hundred temporary group leaders, the other soldiers were really completely stunned.

What day is it? Can you eat four dishes? And two meat dishes?

They haven't eaten so well for the New Year.

This is the way it is in this era, but if the family is rich, who wants to be a soldier?

Usually there are seven or eight brothers and sisters in the family, and the poor ones really can't eat, so they are willing to serve as soldiers in order to have enough to eat.

Almost all of these 10,000 soldiers were born in poor families.

Many of them were so old that they hadn't eaten four dishes in one meal.

I didn't expect to eat four dishes on the first day I arrived at the barracks today!

And there is a big pot of rice at each table, and the rice tube is full!

Next, the group of recruits, each with a large pot full of rice, began to eat violently.

This meat is really fragrant!

This meal is really delicious!

Even the vegetarian dishes are extremely delicious.

In the end, every meal on the table was eaten cleanly.

Almost all the recruits were holding their stomachs and were overfed.

Jia Huan followed the recruits and ate together in the room.

One thing to say, the taste of these four dishes is quite improvised, and it is not delicious at all, but it can only be said that it can fill the stomach.

But Jia Huan is not picky, he has lived a good life, but also a hard life - of course in the previous life.

And when Jia Huan saw the recruit's eating appearance, he couldn't help but feel more and more relieved.

Half an hour after the recruits had eaten, Jia Huan ordered Liu Xianglian to gather 10,000 recruits.

Next, Jia Huan held a loudspeaker in his hand, stood in front of the whole army, and began to give the first lecture.

As for why Jia Huan took a horn, it was really because there were too many recruits.

The so-called number of more than 10,000 people is boundless, and 10,000 recruits are placed in black.

Even if there is Zhang Fei's loud voice, it is impossible for all soldiers to hear it.

Therefore, it is necessary to take a horn out.

Jia Huan cleared his throat, and then said, "Hello everyone, I am your general Jia Huan. ”

"First of all, General Ben wants you to remember that from now on, you are all part of the Red Flame Army."

"And the Red Flame Army is a new army created by the decree of the Holy Majesty today, that is to say, all of you are the Son of Heaven's own soldiers!"

"The original intention of the Holy Lord to create the Red Flame Army today was to train an invincible male division!"

"Where the red flame passes, not a single grass grows!" (End of chapter)
