Chen Mo imitated Gao Shun in his military training, and the first thing he practiced was stance.

This thing is not difficult, but those who have never stood up will not be able to support it for a moment, and their legs will tremble. Many people sit directly on the ground, and some even make moaning sounds, causing more and more people to

People can't hold on any longer.

"If you can't hold on, you can stand. Don't sit on the ground, let alone make a sound. How can you behave like a sister-in-law?" Chen Mo walked among the crowd, looked at a recruit who was sitting on the ground and moaning, and raised his head.

Just a kick of the foot.

The recruit who was kicked by Chen Mo almost stumbled. He got up and glared at Chen Mo: "Marquis, your official authority has been overturned, why do you humiliate us like this?"

"Hurt?" Chen Mo had already walked away. When he heard this, he turned to look at this person and frowned: "The new army is directly under His Majesty to defend Luoyang. How do you still want to defend Luoyang like you?"

"With a young man like you as a general, how can this new army defend Luoyang?" the new soldier said unconvinced.

"Oh?" Chen Mo looked at the eyes around him. Obviously, even after Bao Geng's incident, these recruits were still dissatisfied, and he immediately said: "Okay."

Turn around, strode to the front of the formation, parted his legs, squatted down, made a stance, and shouted loudly: "Bao Geng!"

"Here!" Bao Geng, who was standing still, stood up and took a step forward.

"Go to the weapons rack and find me a spear." Chen Mo shouted.

"Here!" Although he didn't know what Chen Mo was going to do, Bao Geng was convinced by Chen Mo. Hearing this, he strode to the weapons rack on the side of the school field without hesitation, took down a spear, and strode back.

Chen Mo took the spear, made a gesture of holding it, and looked at the new troops: "Since you are still dissatisfied and feel that I am too young to take charge, I will train with you."

The spear is an ordinary spear, two feet long (about 2.6 meters), and weighs about eighteen kilograms. It is not too heavy, but because of the length, anyone who has used a spear knows that although this weapon is not heavy, if you hold a spear

The method is wrong and very strenuous. Chen Mo is holding the middle part of the spear at this time, which is the most labor-saving method, but standing motionless like this is not something most people can bear.

"Now, everyone sitting here, stand up straight. Incompetence is not wrong. No one is born knowing everything. Since you underestimate me, then use your actions to underestimate me. It will only be empty talk.

, not a husband!" Chen Mo occupied the post and scanned the people sitting on the ground.

Although they were very tired, looking at Chen Mo's appearance, the recruits sitting on the ground could only stand up. Some of them were very competitive and started to stand again.

The sunshine in July was a bit fierce. Time passed by bit by bit. Chen Mo was holding the spear and his legs were motionless as if they were rooted in the ground. However, a group of recruits could no longer hold on. Many of the recruits who still wanted to struggle had no choice but to give up.

, some wanted to sit down, but seeing Chen Mo's immature body not moving at all, they felt somewhat ashamed in their hearts, and couldn't hold on, so they stood still.

People feel a little ashamed in their hearts. If Chen Mo were replaced by Cui Geng, these new troops probably wouldn't think anything of it. General, they should be stronger than them.

But Chen Mo is too young. Even if a boy less than fifteen years old can't compare with him in standing, he doesn't want to lose in perseverance.

From the moment Chen Mo started to stand, time passed little by little. These new soldiers gradually gave up the stance and changed to standing. However, Chen Mo remained motionless, maintaining the posture of standing with his spear, which made these new soldiers under him feel a little ashamed.

I also had some respect for Chen Mo.

It is already extremely difficult to be able to do this kind of thing, let alone a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. Many people can't even maintain their standing posture. But seeing Chen Mo sweating profusely, he never relaxed for a moment. After all, a group of soldiers did not

Talk alone.

It lasted until noon. Other military camps had already started eating. Chen Mo just put away his spear and said in a deep voice: "That's it for the morning training. We will conduct the formation drill in the afternoon."

Until this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer looked at Chen Mo with contempt, but with deep respect.

In the next few days, the training in Xiyuan gradually got on the right track. Chen Mo spent most of his time training in formation and standing positions. In every training, he worked with the soldiers and even took the initiative to increase the difficulty. It is precisely because of this that Chen Mo became like this.

The soldiers in Yiqu can be said to be the most peaceful, and no one complains.

After half a month, the new recruits already looked somewhat elite, at least the formation looked quite majestic as it evolved.

Chen Mo promoted Bao Geng and another outstanding soldier to the rank of general, and appointed four team leaders. As for the commander and corps commander, they were selected by the soldiers themselves.

At the same time, the news that the emperor had established a new army had already become known to the world as a large number of new soldiers entered Xiyuan. For a time, the government and the public were discussing the matter heatedly. Of course, the core issue was this new army in Xiyuan.

Who will be in charge?

…

"Can I use Cao Mengde?" In Deyang Hall, Liu Hong looked at the names recommended by the ministers in the court during the day, and turned to look at Qian Shuo beside him.

Cao Cao was, after all, the son of a eunuch after Cao Teng. Compared to the sons of prominent families like Yuan Shao, Liu Hong felt that Cao Cao might be easier to control.

"This person Cao Mengde..." Qian Shuo instinctively wanted to say something wrong with Cao Cao. When Cao Cao was the northern captain of Luoyang, his uncle was killed by Cao Cao for violating the ban on traveling at night. This matter, even after many years, Qian Shuo is still aggrieved.

Yu Huai, in the middle of his words, suddenly realized that Cao Cao was still quite famous in Luoyang. After a pause, he bowed and said: "This man has outstanding talents. He made great contributions during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and later served as the Prime Minister of Jinan. During this period,

Quite a feat, but..."

"Say." Liu Hong looked at the roster and said without looking back.

"This man is quite close to the general and the Yuan brothers." Qian Shuo bowed and said.

Liu Hong's attitude towards He Jin was to use him favorably but to be wary of him at the same time. The establishment of the Xiyuan New Army was to divide He Jin's military power.

Liu Hong nodded and drew a picture under Cao Cao's name. He was still very satisfied with this person, but he still needed to be screened. Although the military power was already in his hands, it was impossible to give out all the positions of the new army's chief general.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Zhichang once followed Zhang Wen to fight in Liangzhou, and he was very successful in battle. He is also loyal to your Majesty." Qian Shuo bowed.

"Zhao Rong?" Liu Hong looked at the name on the roster, thought for a moment and nodded: "It's acceptable."

Then he crossed the names of Xia Mou and Bao Hong next to Zhao Rong, and frowned: "The ministers have recommended so many talents to me, is it possible that Zhao Rong is the only one who is loyal to me? These Bao Hong and Wu Qiong

, Li Xu, Feng Fang, Xia Mou, can’t I use them all?”

"Your Majesty, Bao Hong is a close friend of the Yuan family and is a general of the Great Zhao general. Xia Mou is also a disciple of Yuan Kui. I'm afraid..." Qian Shuo reminded him quickly.

"Is it possible that in this huge court, no one is my loyal minister?" Liu Hong looked a little annoyed.

Qian Shuo hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant should not speak nonsense."

"Get up." Liu Hong waved his hand, looked at the list in his hand, thought for a while, took out a bamboo slip and started writing.

Qian Shuo, the commander of the upper military academy, is in charge of the fifth army; Yuan Shao, the assistant military commander, is in charge of the third army; Bao Hong, the commander of the lower military academy, is in charge of the third army; Cao Cao, the commander of the dian army, is in charge of the third army; Zhao Rong, the assistant captain of the left army, is in charge of the army

Two divisions; Assistant Colonel Feng Fang, the right commander, is in charge of two troops; Xia Mou, the left commander, is in charge of one army; Chunyu Qiong, the right commander, is in charge of one army.

On the desk, there are several bamboo slips with different names written on them, but the names of Qian Shuo and Yuan Shao have never been changed. Qian Shuo is Liu Hong's trusted confidant and the Westerner chosen by Liu Hong.

Yuan Shaoyi, the coach of the new army, came from a well-off family, and Yuan Wei took the lead in pushing him forward. The others could move, but Yuan Shao could not move lightly. As for the others, after careful consideration, Liu Hong felt that the final quota was good.

Not only did he ensure his absolute control over the new army, but he also worried about the reputation of the Manchu scholars and generals. At the same time, he pulled out the original Tun Cavalry Captain Bao Hong, and the original Tun Cavalry Captain could also be replaced by his own.

As a general, as for Bao Hong, we can find another opportunity to eliminate him from the new army, thus weakening He Jin's military power in disguise.

Cao Cao had a good relationship with the Yuan family, but his grandfather Cao Teng was a eunuch. During his tenure as an official, he was not afraid of the powerful and offended many scholars. Among the scholars, his reputation was not very good. The most important thing was his ability.

"I will use this edict to appoint the new general of the Xiyuan Army tomorrow." Liu Hong handed the bamboo slip to Qian Shuo.

"My slave, accept your order!" Qian Shuo bowed and took the edict and bowed.

"You will be optimistic about reviewing the armed forces tomorrow, are you ready?" After settling the matter, Liu Hong forgot about his worries and looked at Qian Shuo and said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the platform for peace and optimism has been built."

"How is the training of the new army?" Liu Hong finished his work and only then did he have time to ask about the new army.

"Back to Your Majesty." Qian Shuo said with a smile: "The newly recruited soldiers and horses train diligently every day. Although they are not as powerful as the elites from various places, they are still quite powerful. However, the elites from various places formed an army hastily. Although my brother is brave and good at fighting, he is still unruly and unruly.

, it was difficult to control, and many of the generals sent were beaten."

"The generals you selected can't even control these new recruits?" Liu Hong frowned when he heard this.

"The new army is acceptable, but Your Majesty, these two thousand elites are all part of our army of tigers and wolves, so how can these new generals suppress them?" Qian Shuo said with a bitter smile.

"The two thousand new troops are the most important thing, but if you don't obey the rules..." Liu Hong looked at Qian Shuo, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said solemnly: "You can discipline them strictly! After the military parade tomorrow, I will give you three

The Hundred Guards are responsible for discipline."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qian Shuo was overjoyed when he heard this. During this period, he went to the military camp almost every day to reward the elites. Although there were some results, those elites were unruly at heart and still didn't think highly of him. Now he has the emperor's permission.

, just in time to rectify this group of people. In his heart, Qian Shuo had already wanted to rectify this group of thorny soldiers who did not give him face.

"Read more military books. You are now a military captain, and your military power is even higher than that of a general. If you don't know the art of war, how can you serve the masses?" Liu Hong looked at Qian Shuo helplessly and said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have been studying military books these days and have gained a lot of experience."

"That's good, please step back, I'm tired."
