Generally speaking, the barracks will be placed in the city, because it is conducive to the change of defense and protection in the city, as well as martial law towns, which can ensure the stability of the city and county to the greatest extent.

But the barracks in Qi County were different, and it was placed on the outskirts of the city.

It's just because there are too many soldiers in Qi County.

In addition to the 30,000 Qingzhou iron cavalry drawn by lottery, there are also several major types of troops recruited by Zhao Changqing after he came: 10,000 crossbowmen, 20,000 pikemen, 20,000 sword and shield soldiers, 30,000 light cavalry, 10,000 charioteers, and 30,000 ordinary foot soldiers.

The total number of troops in all arms is 150,000.

Although Qi County can fit it, it is also very reluctant, so it is better to put it in the suburbs.

As for why so many troops were suddenly recruited, it was because Zhao Changqing had a soft spot for redundant troops.

Anyway, if you have nothing to do, why don't you recruit some troops to have fun?

That's it, he is still too little, but if he continues to recruit, those subordinates should be unwilling, and now that there is no war, what is the use of recruiting so many troops?

Do you keep it dry and eat dry rice?

How much does it cost every day?

Moreover, the total number of troops in the entire counties of Qingzhou is nearly 400,000!

They were all ordered by Zhao Changqing and recruited in the past few days.

In peacetime, there are 400,000 standing troops, can you imagine? What is this going to do?

You must know that it is as rich as Jiangnan Province, and when the Chu army attacked Chang'an, it was only urgently prepared for more than 100,000 troops.

And Qingzhou, there are 400,000 troops!

What is this concept?

The battalions and guards of Chang'an, so far, there are only 300,000 troops.

In a sense, Zhao Changqing was already the second largest force in Wei, second only to Emperor Wei.

After all, Emperor Wei still had the entire south to rely on.

Despite this, Zhao Changqing is enough to be called the soil emperor of Qingzhou at this moment.

Zhuge Liang, who was in the barracks, after learning so much about the situation, also sighed that His Royal Highness King Qi had a far-reaching layout.

In this way, in order to compete for the throne, there is a little more security and strength.

It's just that at present, these newly recruited soldiers in Qingzhou still have a lot of room for improvement!

Well, there is a long way to go, His Royal Highness King Qi has entrusted me with such an important task, I can't let him down!

Zhuge Liang, who was training in the army, heard a report from his subordinates, saying that the princess of Chu State had granted permission to King Qi to let her visit the barracks.

Now Zhuge Liang was puzzled.

How can outsiders visit the important place of soldiers?

Isn't that a mediocre move?

But can His Royal Highness King Qi be mediocre?

He couldn't be stupid!

Thinking of the fact that some time ago, the princess of Chu exported and humiliated His Royal Highness King Qi, which made the country full of storms, and it almost became a scandal, and now, the princess of Chu came to Qingzhou and allowed her to visit the barracks?

Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to regain face and use the killing spirit of the barracks to deter this princess of Chu State?

It's good to let her and the Chu State behind her know that the current Qingzhou is not the soft persimmon of the past, and they can be handled at will?

And... His Royal Highness King Qi's move is also to test my ability to choose changes on the spot, right?

In this way, we can't let the princesses of Chu State see the jokes in vain, we have to give them something unforgettable, let them know that I am the King of Wei Qi, and I Zhuge Kongming, what kind of demeanor!

There you have it, set up!

Zhuge Liang lupine scarf, sitting cross-legged on the platform, looked at the tens of thousands of troops under the stage, and said with a smile: "Stop the drill and tell them that the people of Chu who once laughed at the slaughter of my Wei people are here, and they want to take a look at the demeanor of our Wei army."

Ordered them to set up a long snake formation, listen to the instructions of my feather fan, and be calm for now. ”

A staff officer standing next to him bowed and said, "No!"

Then Zhuge Liang's words were spread throughout the army.

Soon, this 10,000-strong pikemen unit was neatly arranged, and looking at the formation, it was indeed a long snake formation.

To be able to form a military formation in such a short period of time, I am afraid that only a wise man like Zhuge Liang can do it.

After a while, the princess of Chu and others, under the leadership of Zhang San, soon came to Zhuge Liang's side, and at this time he had already seen their arrival, so the feather fan was gently flipped, and the herald ordered a change of formation, and the leader of the 10,000-strong army immediately shouted:

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The 10,000 pikemen then all rang out with a shout of 'Kill, kill!', and suddenly, the surroundings were filled with a sense of killing, and the momentum was deafening and resounded throughout the world.

Slowly, they changed from a long snake formation to a two-dragon water formation, that is, the long snake formation was divided into two, showing a situation of attacking left and right.

Mi Yue didn't know the way of the military formation, but from the shouting and shouting of this army, she smelled a smell of the tiger and wolf army, and she was very shocked.

Chu Hong, who was beside him, couldn't help but admire, "I can actually change the formation perfectly in an instant, people with such ability are all commanders of one party, and besides, the spirit of this army is really rare!"

Mi Yue frowned.

How many elite people like this are there in Qingzhou?

20,000, 30,000, 50,000?

I'm sorry, there are four or five hundred thousand troops like this in Qingzhou, and there are 400,000 standing troops that can be mobilized.

In fact, it stands to reason that these recruits, even if their personal skills of killing the enemy in battle are very powerful, it is impossible for them to master the art of changing the formation in a very short period of time!

In fact, this is Zhuge Liang's power.

He had long known that in order for this army to be proficient in the way of military formation, it would not be an overnight effort, so among every fifty people, a talent who had been trained by himself and understood the way of changing the military formation was placed.

In this way, the combined effect can ensure the correct operation of the pikemen when changing formations.

When Mi Yue and the others came to Zhuge Liang's side, he bowed his hand slightly and said with a smile: "I don't know what the princess of Chu is doing here?"

Mi Yue also returned the courtesy: "Presumably you are the general of the Qingzhou Military Division, Zhuge Liang?"

When she came, she heard Zhang San say that the person currently in charge of training the soldiers in the military camp was a gentleman named Zhuge Liang, and when she came, she also saw Zhang San pointing at him with his finger.

So I should be right.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "It's just a small name, it's not worth mentioning." The princess didn't seem to have answered Ryo's question yet. ”

Mi Yue said: "This princess mainly said that he had nothing to do, so he wanted to go shopping, can Zhuge Junshi believe it?"

Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and said: "The princess said that there is nothing to do, that is, there is nothing to do, what is the importance of believing it or not believing? It's just that the sword in the military camp has no eyes, so it's better to ask the princess of Chu to be careful." ”

The princess of Chu also smiled at this time: "If you can see the demeanor of Qingzhou soldiers and swords, it will not hurt to see it." ”

Zhuge Liang pretended to be conceited and said: "Haha, my Qingzhou soldier is stronger than the Chu army." Do you know what my Qingzhou soldiers usually call themselves on?"

Mi Yue said: "Listen to me." ”

Zhuge Liang's expression was indifferent, his feather fan waved slightly, and his eyes looked at all the troops of Qi County who were at the end of the stage, and then only heard him muttered softly: "Wei Wushu." ”
