"Report to the commander, in fact, he was able to hold on until that day, all the soldiers sacrificed his life. The boy was really unsuccessful." Xu Haifeng decided to retreat, and would rather not reward than continue with this topic. In fact, since he was shot by an arrow, he had been hiding in the battlements. Before the reinforcements of the Shining Ming arrived, he had never been on the city wall at all, and he also found ten people to protect himself. If this fact is known, it would definitely cause a more sensational effect than before.

Gu Daoyan looked at him carefully for a long time, until his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and then he laughed loudly: "Are you young? It is good to be not arrogant or impatient, but you don't have to be too humble. You must know that youth is also a kind of wealth, and being proactive is what you should do."

Xu Haifeng breathed a sigh of relief in secret. He heard that Gu Daoyan had expressed his intention to continue pursuing the matter, so he quickly took over the topic: "Yes, the boy has been taught, and he will definitely follow the instructions of the commander in the future and dare not make any mistakes."

Gu Daoren has experienced countless experiences throughout her life. If you can easily let go of this topic, you have your own mystery in your heart and you will not worry about Xu Haifeng not taking the bait.

"Xu Haifeng, my commander has also reported to the court for your achievements. After Your Majesty knows, he will specially award you ten thousand taels of silver. As for your official position..."

Xu Haifeng's heart was suddenly adjusted. If he said that he didn't want to be promoted and made a fortune, it would be a self-deception. Ten thousand taels of silver was a huge wealth he had never dared to think about before. Listening to Gu Daoyan's tone, it seemed that his career was also very good, and his heart suddenly became hot.

Seeing Xu Haifeng's happy appearance, Gu Daoyan couldn't grasp what kind of person he was. If he said that he was not greedy for wealth, then his performance at this moment was clearly a person who was keen on fame and fortune. However, when he talked about his achievements, he looked selfless and indifferent to fame and fortune, and there was no usual means to add fuel to the fire and take on merit. Such a completely different contradiction made him very puzzled.

However, since he had already thought about it, he would not change at this moment. He said to Xu Haifeng: "The Fifth Column of the Western Camp has more than 5,000 people survived in the last battle, and was almost wiped out. According to convention, the establishment should be abolished. However, the Fifth Column showed great courage and courage on the battlefield, and was famous and brave. In order to commend and encourage, we decided to handle the special matters and reorganize the Fifth Column and give it the number "Black Flag Army", and you will temporarily serve as the leader of the Fifth Column."

Xu Haifeng was stunned when he heard this, and could not believe his ears for a moment. Xiang Ming, who was beside him, quickly stabbed him and whispered: "I'm not grateful yet."

Xu Haifeng woke up like a dream, stepped forward and knelt on his knees: "Thank you for your kindness, the handsome man will always remember the kindness of the handsome boy, and he will never forget it."

The army organization of the Han Empire was basically divided into ten-man squadrons, hundred-man squadrons, and thousand-man brigades. These captains, both the chief and deputy, are middle-level officers. A team of more than a thousand people are called columns. The number of people in each column is different, ranging from three thousand to ten thousand. The column leader's official position is at least a general, and although the general is the lowest level, he has already entered the ranks of generals. Generals, the biggest dream of each soldier is that one day he can become a general, and those who can realize this dream are in thousands. Many heroes stop at the level of the thousand-person growth. If they have no background or are appreciated by high-ranking people, even those who are capable can only be a thousand-person growth in their lifetime. It can be said that as long as they pass this level, the future will be bright.

Half a year ago, Xu Haifeng was just a farmer facing the loess and facing the sky. Two months ago, Xu Haifeng was just a little recruit who had just left the training camp. But today, he would step into the ranks of generals. Although Gu Daoyan said that he was just a temporary position as the captain of the column, as long as he had real power, he would make contributions in the future and become a regular and straight.

Both Xu Haifeng and Xiang Ming never expected that Gu Daoyan would be so bold that he would have made a person with only half a year of military experience as a general. They originally thought that being able to be promoted to a full-time position of a thousand people was the limit, but the current situation was that he jumped into the dragon gate, which made people unable to follow for a while, so Xu Haifeng was so disobedient.

"But the ugliness is ahead, and the source of troops is currently tight. The Fifth Column can only form 3,000 people. And I can only give you two,000 new soldiers, five hundred demobilized soldiers, and five hundred people. You have to go to the slave camp to choose from." Gu Daoran did not unexpectedly see his performance like this. If he had experienced this matter himself, he would probably not be much better than Xu Haifeng.

"Yes, kid... the lower official obeyed the order." Seeing that Xiang Ming shook his head slightly at him, he immediately reacted and quickly changed his words.

"Well, in your opinion, how long will it take for the Fifth Column to form combat power?" Gu Daoren continued to ask.

Xu Haifeng frowned. This question is difficult to answer. There are great differences in the standards for forming combat effectiveness. Elite troops and local troops have combat effectiveness, but they are definitely not at the same level. It is even more difficult to form combat effectiveness by a group of new recruits and some demobilized soldiers and slave soldiers. If ordinary people train, it will take at least half a year or more. But since General Gu asked on the spot, it is obviously an assessment. If he cannot meet the standard in his heart, I am afraid that the acting captain may be able to continue acting.

"Three months is enough." Xu Haifeng pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.

"Okay, the courage of young people is commendable. I will give you three months. If you can bring out an alchemy team at that time, I will officially recommend you to serve as a general. But if your team is vulnerable at that time, then you can go down and be a leader of a hundred people." Gu Daoyan raised his hand with a final say.

"As for orders, Grandmaster, the last general has another request."

The ancient Taoyuan's true drama is coming. If you are sure to develop combat power within such a period of time, you must have unique skills in training. You have to see what conditions he has raised, so you ask harmoniously: "If you have any requirements, just ask."

"The last general requests that all the troops can be replaced with slave soldiers, and no one shall interfere during the last general training."

"What? Change them all to slave soldiers? Are you sure?" Gu Daoyan was really strange this time. If he wanted to maintain the secret methods and efficiency of training, then the second one must not be interfered with and said it, but the first one is the requirement to use slave soldiers all the time is simply a madman's behavior.

The army's reserve troops are roughly divided into three types. The most popular one is the demobilized soldiers. They were injured in the previous battle, but they were not fatal and would not end up being disabled. They would return to the battlefield after the treatment was completed. Such soldiers do not need training and can be directly integrated into most of the troops.

The second is the recruits. They only stayed in the recruits camp for several months and had not experienced the battlefield. Their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the demobilized soldiers.

The last type is slave soldiers who have no freedom of life. The source of slave soldiers is very wide, most of which are surrendered soldiers captured from all over the world, as well as death row prisoners from the empire. Entering the slave barracks means that one foot has entered the gate of hell. Slave soldiers are simply synonymous with cannon fodder on the battlefield. Therefore, their morale is the worst among all military groups, and people are running away almost every day.

The other generals first demanded demobilized soldiers and then asked for new soldiers. As for slave soldiers, they were basically ignored. Today, Xu Haifeng turned his back on the move and did not want any demobilized soldiers or new soldiers. He was surprised by the long-standing war-tested Gu Daoyan. He even guessed in his mind whether Xu Haifeng's training method was too domineering and could easily cause human casualties, so he chose those slave soldiers who were not noticed.

"Okay, everything is as you wish, but in three months, I will see the results."

"Please rest assured, the officer will definitely not disappoint you."

After Xu Haifeng and Xiang Ming left, one person walked out of the back hall. It was Cheng Ming, the staff member who led the way. Just by looking at him being able to enter and exit the front and back halls freely, he knew that his status was not as good as ordinary.

"Uncle, is it too rash to appoint him as the captain of the column like this?" Cheng Ming stepped forward and bowed and said.

"In my opinion, how powerful is my Tianying Legion?" Gu Daoren asked instead of answering positively.

"The Sky Eagle Legion is one of the five major legions of the Empire. It has 100,000 armored men and has made many military achievements and is the first-class army in the world." Cheng Ming looked proud and indeed such a strong army is rare in the world.

"You have also seen the confession of the surrendered soldiers. So what do you think the combat effectiveness of the Sky Eagle Legion is compared with Xu Haifeng's subordinates?"

This time, Cheng Ming stopped talking immediately, and after a while, he said angrily: "If they hadn't exaggerated, they would probably be slightly worse."

Gu Daoyan shook his head and said, "It's not just a little worse. If the surrendered soldiers did not boast, the two were far different. I really want to see if there are really such strong soldiers in this world. Today I appointed him as the acting captain of the column. If he is really capable, in order to become a regular person, he will definitely do his best and dare not hide his weakness. Three months later, I know the result."

"So that's it, my uncle is brilliant." Cheng Ming continued: "So whether to send a few people to pretend to be slaves and get involved in his army, we should understand the mystery."

"Since he is in our army, the truth will be revealed sooner or later. Now you don't have to be so impatient. If he notices it, it will be a bad thing."

"Yes, my nephew understands it, so let's wait and see."
