Chapter 13 Recruiting and Buying Horses
"Haha, I have to say that the young master's move is powerful enough. Not only has he successfully eliminated internal troubles Du Yuan, but he also won a good reputation among the people. In this way, although those wealthy families are still waiting and watching, you have won the hearts of the people. Next, as long as you raise the banner of recruiting troops, you will definitely follow the crowd. Within two months, you can pull up an army of thousands of people."
After killing Du Yuan, Liu He and Guo Jia drank together. While drinking and drinking, Guo Jia couldn't help but praise Liu He's methods of dealing with Du Yuan today.
Liu He nodded and sighed softly, "I can see that Du Yuan is unfaithful in his heart. I do think about killing him to establish his authority, but I didn't expect that this guy would insult the people. In fact, I would rather not kill Du Yuan than live in this matter. A happy family is broken like this. Two young lives died because of such garbage. This made me feel very guilty."
Guo Jia looked at Liu He for a long time, and finally stood up and said respectfully to Liu He: "I really can't tell that the lord actually has such a kind heart. Alas, in such a chaotic era, it is rare for the lord to be a nobleman of the Han Dynasty to be able to keep the people in this way. Jia believes that with his lord's mind and demeanor, he will definitely be able to achieve the revival of the Han Dynasty and create an eternal prosperity. Jia Shi is fortunate to have such a benevolent lord! Please rest assured, Jia is willing to be loyal to the young master with his three-foot body!"
At this time, the system actually rang in my ears again: "Guo Jia's loyalty has increased to 8o. The master relies on his own strength to increase the loyalty of the other party from 6o to 8o. Add a little charm. Now the master's attributes are: force 52, intelligence 5o, internal affairs 5o, charm 73..."
"Haha, okay, Guo Jia's loyalty has reached 8o. Unless he has a grudge against me for killing his father or for taking his wife, he will definitely not betray him. This is really good news."
Liu He was happy and quickly stood up, and said with a smile: "I have the honor of being filial to this kind of filial piety in my life. Please rest assured that if I, Liu He, achievement in the future, will definitely not let it go."
The next day, Liu He posted a notice in the city, which included two parts, one was the emperor's edict to summon troops to support the king, and the other part was the notice of Liu He's recruitment of soldiers. The notice immediately caused great response. On that day, three hundred young men came to apply.
"Haha, right, the news has not spread yet. We have recruited 300 heroes today. When the news spreads, the number of people will probably be even more." Guo Jia was also very excited after hearing the news and applauded.
Liu He was also very happy and was full of expectations for the growth of the military power in his hands.
The next day, about 500 people were recruited.
On the third day, more than 500 people.
In the next seven or eight days, the number of people continued to be around 500 people almost every day.
However, the number of people coming later gradually decreased, and in the end there was only a dozen people. Liu He knew that Yingchuan County had a small population, and in addition, there was only one county in the area he actually controlled. Although there were 6 consecutive people coming from counties in several vacuum areas around, Ding Zhuang who could come now almost all came, so he decisively stopped recruiting.
At the end, the statistics were conducted, and this time it took less than half a month to recruit more than 5,000 people. In addition to the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been stored before, there were nearly 6,000 people under his command.
"Haha, soldiers are more important than elites. As long as we train strictly, these 6,000 people will be enough." Guo Jia did not feel disappointed, but said with great satisfaction.
Liu He also said with agreement: "What the military advisor is right, I will definitely build them into an invincible iron army. From tomorrow, I will personally preside over the training of soldiers and develop a perfect training plan for them, so that they can become a disciplined and brave elite soldier in a short period of time."
Liu He was a special forces soldier in his previous life. Before being selected as a special forces soldier, he was also an ordinary military camp soldier. He naturally had a lot of experience in training recruits, so he did it and immediately started to formulate a training plan for the recruits.
According to the experience of his previous life and the characteristics of the time, Liu He divided the 6,000 people into the front army, rear army and central army three battalions, with two thousand people in each battalion, and Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and Liu He were the lieutenants, and each battalion was divided into two parts, one thousand people, and each was set up with a commander, with two songs and five people in each song, and each was set up with Sima to lead the commander. Each song had five teams and fifty people in each team, and each was set up with a team to lead the commander.
Of course, the two thousand people led by Liu He himself were only nominally owned, but in fact, Pei Yuanshao was the commander of the front and rear divisions by the front and rear divisions.
For the training of recruits, Liu He is divided into three parts: physical training, combat skills training and formation training, which is a bit different from the training methods circulated at that time. However, Liu He continued to implement them resolutely, and the generals and soldiers conducted concentrated training based on teams.
Many people don’t understand Liu He’s approach to training formations. However, a few days later, when Liu He gave the order, the soldiers quickly changed and formed a neat formation in a very short time. Everyone, including Guo Jia, was lit up and admired it. So the complaints completely disappeared from then on and never mentioned again.
Just when Liu He was very proud of the training of the recruits, he suddenly heard Zhou Cang come to report: "Report to the lord, according to the report of the military chief, the army's food and grass are not much reserved, and it can support the cost of half a month at most. I don't know how to solve it at this time, so please make a decision."
"What?" Liu He was shocked when he heard this. He had been recruiting troops these days, but he did not expect that the food and grass would be in a hurry. Such a thing is a fatal matter in the army. How many powerful troops had collapsed overnight because they had no food and grass? Not to mention the distance, the Battle of Guandu, which had a significant impact in history a few years later, was because the food and grass of Yuan Shao's army were burned, causing more than 100,000 troops to disperse and reverse the situation in the north and south.
After hearing the news, Guo Jia frowned and couldn't find a suitable solution for a while.
At this time, Zhou Cang thought about it and suddenly said, "Lord, otherwise, we would bring troops to the big family in the city and borrow grain from them. If they know the truth, it would not be too late for us to return the grain and grass in the future. If they don't know the truth, then we will steal his mother..."
"Stop!" Liu He immediately stopped hearing this and said, "Zhou Cang, we are now an official army, not those heroes who rob families and houses, and help the poor. We need to pay attention to the influence. Huh? Yes, although we cannot rob the people in our city, we can rob others."
"Haha, good idea, I'll mobilize my troops and borrow grain from other counties." Zhou Cang laughed and immediately set off to prepare to mobilize his troops.
But unexpectedly, Liu He suddenly said, "Zhou Cang, where are you going?"
"Hehe, of course, we are sending troops to borrow food. I heard that Yingyang in the south produces a lot of food. I believe that as long as I get there, I will definitely get a lot of harvest." Zhou Cang grinned and said, he was about to go out.
