I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

"There are no generals in Shu, so Liao Hua will be the vanguard."

When most people hear this sentence, they will look down on Liao Hua.

In fact, Liao Hua's strength is not weak. If you take a closer look at Liao Hua, you will find that he has three very rare qualities.

Loyalty, hard work and persistence.

Nodding to Liao Hua, Wei Chu signaled everyone to dismount, and then led them to the high platform nearby.

After Wei Chu and his party stood on the high platform, the five thousand veterans helped each other get up from the ground.

"My name is Wei Chu, and I am your general."

"The purpose of my coming here today is to express my condolences to you. I originally prepared good wine, good food, and beautiful girls. But someone told me that you are soldiers, and soldiers don't do the usual things."

"The 80 people who followed me in the charge just now are the 80 commanders of the New Army. From now on, you will be directly led by them and obey their orders. Now I want to ask you, are you convinced by these [-] people? ?”

When Wei Chu finished speaking, the five thousand veterans on the campus shouted at the same time: "We are convinced."

The five thousand veterans were really convinced.

Today's battle, 5000 people versus 80 people, was a complete defeat.

Although 5000 of our own troops were armed with bare hands, the [-] commanders only used long whips.

The veterans have experience and they understand.

If both sides changed their weapons, even if 5000 men could defeat [-] village commanders, at least half of their own side would die.

"Now that you are convinced, you should rein in your past behavior in the future. In my new army camp, orders and prohibitions must be followed."

"If anyone disobeys orders, if anyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, I will kill him before the new army goes to the battlefield."

After Wei Chu finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion on the school grounds.

Soon, Wei Chu's voice sounded again.

"But there is a punishment, and there is also a reward."

"You will receive the fairest treatment in the new army. As long as you are loyal to me and make contributions, you will have money, women, and land. In the future, you can even bring down the children of aristocratic families who once looked down on you. Step on it hard."

"Of course, it's not easy to get credit. You need to put in a lot of effort in training. Of course, in exchange, your pay will be twice that of other soldiers. I will also send someone to take your pay. The heirs will be sent to Luoyang to receive free education."

After Wei Chu finished speaking, there was another round of discussion on the school grounds.

The double salary made everyone present extremely excited.

In this era, few people serve as soldiers to truly protect their families and country.

More people want to have a full meal.

Children can receive free education in Luoyang, which is even more exciting.

You know, paper was not widely popular in this era.

The mainstream carrier for recording knowledge is bamboo slips.

Because of this, not everyone has access to education.

Of the five thousand veterans present, at most half could write their names, and at most 100 could read and dictate normally.

In any era, parents want their children to succeed.

So after listening to Wei Chu's words, many soldiers' eyes were red.

"I have equipped you with eighty of the best village commanders in the Han Dynasty. I will provide you with the best training, give you the best treatment, and help you educate the next generation. I will try my best to ensure that you are safe and sound on the battlefield. Give me the credit. Now, please tell me loudly, what can you provide me?"

Wei Chu's words fell, and five thousand soldiers beat their chests at the same time and shouted loudly: "We are the generals who obeyed and served our lives to the death!"

Wei Chu nodded to everyone, then turned to Niu Shisan beside him and said loudly: "Niu Shisan, you will go find Hengchun later and tell him to prepare three kilograms of meat for each of my soldiers. One pound of wine. It must be delivered before dark, I want my soldiers to have a good meal tonight."

Wei Chu's words fell, and bursts of cheers suddenly erupted in the school grounds.

Facts have proved that the big stick and the carrot are really the best way to control people.

First let eighty soldiers of the Tiandao Army beat up five thousand veterans to establish their authority.

Then use twice the salary and education of the children to win people's hearts.

The last meal of wine and meat made all the soldiers forget the unpleasantness that happened not long ago.

Now everyone is grateful to Wei Chu.

Before leaving the New Army camp, Wei Chu called Liao Hua aside alone.

"Liao Hua, do you know the order for seeking talents issued by the emperor not long ago?"

Liao Hua didn't know what Wei Chu wanted to express when he suddenly mentioned this.

But after hearing Wei Chu's words, Liao Hua still clasped his fists very seriously and said, "I heard about this not long after I came to Luoyang."

"What do you think of the order to seek talents?"

Liao Hua hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "It is a good thing that the emperor issued the order to seek talents, but those people in the aristocratic family are not only powerful, but also arrogant in their conduct. I am a little worried that the order to seek talents will not be implemented."

"Perhaps this matter will eventually turn into a joke with the intervention of the noble family."

That Liao Hua can think like this shows that Liao Hua is a thoughtful and calm person.

Wei Chu nodded to Liao Hua, and then slowly said: "This time's order to seek talents can also be regarded as an order to seek generals. The general will hold a martial arts performance in Luoyang City. The eight best performers, He will join the new army as a captain."

"I want you to answer the call for talent and strive to be among the top eight in martial arts."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, a trace of astonishment flashed across Liao Hua's eyes.

After a moment, Liao Hua clasped his fists at Wei Chu and said: "Since I have chosen to be loyal to the general, I will naturally obey the general's orders. The general asked me to win the top eight, even if I risk my life, I will win the top eight. But I have one thing If the matter is unclear, please ask the general to clarify the matter."

Wei Chu had a good impression of Liao Hua.

After Liao Hua finished speaking, Wei Chu smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Let's talk about it."

"The general has many talented people under his command. The eighty village chiefs are probably all stronger than me. Why doesn't the general let these village chiefs participate in martial arts exercises?"

"Hahaha!"

Wei Chu laughed a few times, then looked into Liao Hua's eyes and said: "I have three hundred strong soldiers, and they are loyal to me. I have thirty thousand soldiers and horses, and they are the three hundred commanders. If I have thirty thousand soldiers and horses, 30, they are the three hundred captains.”

"Liao Hua, do you understand what I mean?"

Liao Hua's heart suddenly shook, he realized what he was doing and quickly clasped his fists.

"My subordinates understand what the general means. The general wants to build his army into an invincible giant. The general is the brain, and the three hundred strong soldiers are the backbone of the giant."

Senior officers are important.

But in an army, it is the mid-level officers who truly connect the past and the next.

Three hundred soldiers of the Tiandao Army served as commanders of three hundred villages.

Not only can it help Wei Chu train the strongest soldiers, but it can also help Wei Chu better control all armies.

"Yeah! That's a good metaphor."

Wei Chu reached out and patted Liao Hua on the shoulder.

"Next, behave well. I will observe you secretly."
