Royal road

Before dawn, the sound of drums and drums sounded in the barracks.The sound of the drum was neither loud nor small, just enough to wake people up from their sleep.Not daring to delay at all, the sergeant who woke up from his sleep rushed towards the school field.The drum only beat thirty times, and a group of men in disheveled clothes stood still in the field, forming a parade.

Yiyan threw down the drumstick in his hand, walked up to the group of soldiers who could not be considered military resources, and said coldly: "Everyone has it. Turn back! Run out of the camp!"

It's October now, and getting up too hastily, many people are only wearing a jacket, and they would tremble standing on the ground, let alone going out of the camp.But no one dared to contradict Yiyan's words, they lined up obediently and ran outside.Hundreds of people ran in line, and the dust could raise large swaths, which looked quite spectacular.

This is Yiyan's new recruit.

The news of the great victory in Lucheng was handed over to Sima Teng early on.Shocked and terrified by the Huns, he couldn't sleep or eat. Sima Teng was of course overjoyed to see such good news.He praised Linghu Kuang and Liang Feng with great fanfare, and he gave a lot of wine, meat and food as rewards, and also approved the application submitted by Linghu Kuang.So Yiyan was successfully promoted to the rank of captain of a thousand-person military officer, and became a sixth-rank military officer.

The situation of Linghu is really interesting.After Yiyan was promoted, 800 people were dispatched to serve under his command.This number is two hundred less than what Yiyan can actually lead.But Linghu Kuang's move was indeed well intentioned.As a rule in the army, there are always some vacancies for the officers who lead the army to eat some empty pay.Moreover, the vacancy can also arrange for one's own soldiers and confidantes, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Yiyan didn't eat the empty salary, but filled most of the soldiers from the Liang family that he had brought with him into the army.Not only did they get enough troops, but they also made up for officers at all levels, so that they completely controlled the new army.

These recruits are not Liang family soldiers, nor do they have exclusive military fields.But Yiyan's military tactics are different from other officers.Just the fact that the military pay is not deducted, that everyone is full, and that they can occasionally eat meat, makes these men who are forced to become soldiers grateful.

At the same time, Yiyan did not forget to emphasize the absoluteness of loyalty to the Lord.As the lord's subordinates, he can have enough food and be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.Not to mention those Liang family soldiers, even the young and strong who surrounded Lucheng at the beginning, all received rewards.If it was the recruit's turn to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, military merit rewards would be indispensable.This way of deepening the memory over and over again made the recruits who already worshiped the Buddha full of motivation.Coupled with the example of those Liang family soldiers who are corporal leaders and special leaders, the team quickly stepped on the right track.

A nighttime gathering like this can pull up a team in a short period of time.This training method seems ordinary, but it is a great weapon in night battles.With vigilance and mobility, it will be several times more difficult for the army to bomb the camp at night.

Yiyan didn't let up, and honed the new army bit by bit.Just being obedient is not enough, he wants to turn this team into a mighty army that is only loyal to the lord, just like his subordinates!

With such thoughts, the training of recruits will not be too easy.Not to mention the new recruits, even some soldiers from the Liang family were crying bitterly.

"Yingzheng, the cavalry battalion really needs to add more people, just those one thousand horses will kill us!" Whenever Wang Long finds an opportunity, he can't help complaining to Yiyan.

Unlike the infantry, the Liangfu cavalry did not join the new army, but took the captured horses and built a cavalry battalion near Lucheng.One is that raising horses requires an open space, and the other is to prevent the enemy from making dumplings, so a battalion should be set up outside the city.However, the Liang Mansion originally only had 150 cavalry soldiers, and this time there were less than 1000 cavalrymen who came to Fucheng. Even if they were accompanied by [-] horsemen, it would be quite difficult to take care of the more than [-] horses around them.

In the previous Lucheng victory, a total of more than 1000 horses were seized.Almost a thousand horses were distributed to the counties, and two hundred horses were given to Linghu Kuang as a gift.The remaining [-] healthy horses were all handed over to Yiyan to form a cavalry battalion.The Huns are best at cavalry, so naturally they can't just train infantry.As a result, the more than [-] horses made everyone complain.

Not to mention one person with two horses, even three or four horses would not be enough.If you don't recruit some recruits quickly, it will be a headache.

"Deputy Zhang Ying will send another 300 people to the county mansion recently, and most of them will be included in the cavalry battalion. You have to support it for a while. Winter is just around the corner, so let's train with horses." Yi Yan said.

These days, because Liang Feng ordered the counties to take in refugees, the number of refugees around the Liang Mansion has also increased by leaps and bounds.Many people who went to the party and wanted to divert to Yanzhou and Jizhou stopped hesitantly.There were also some refugees who were displaced due to the chaos in Luoyang, went northward along the Xing Road, and entered the boundary of Shangdang.Inspired by the miracle of the great victory in Lucheng, many Jie people who believed in Buddhism also returned to their homeland, and naturally became the guests of the Liang Mansion.

The replenishment of the number of euphemistic households also brought some pressure on grain storage.Zhang He sent the recruits who had completed the preliminary training and could be used for survey to the county mansion, and the lord would find a way to raise them.

There are quite a few Jie people sent here this time, and it would be great to join the cavalry team.

Hearing what Yiyan said, Wang Long couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good! These days I lose a lot of hair! Sigh, with this year's situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home and hug my wife."

Don't blame Wang Long for his resentment.This winter's training intensity is far higher than usual. It can be said that the annual leave and even the weekday leave have been cancelled.Lucheng is so far away from Liang Mansion, even if you want to go home and have a look.

"The big battle is coming, if you want to survive, you need to practice more. It's better to sweat now than to bleed during the war." Yi Yan said coldly.

If someone else said this, Wang Long might still be unconvinced.But their family business is really unmatched.He had to manage both the new army and the cavalry battalion, so one person did the work of several people, and he did it so neatly.There is an officer who eats and lives with him, shares joys and sorrows, what else can the soldiers below complain about?

Swallowing those complaints obediently, Wang Long went to train again.Yiyan looked at the city wall of Lucheng in the distance, and sighed in his heart.These days, he seldom goes back to the government office, and he no longer stays by the lord's side every day.Being too busy with military training was the second thing, and more importantly, he felt more and more that he should stay away from his lord.The thread of love in his heart tormented him from time to time, forcing him to hide his true thoughts even deeper.

No one knows better than him, that person's alertness and insight; no one knows better than him, how that person treats the madman who covets him.If you want the secret to become a real secret, the only way to keep everything you have is to avoid it as much as possible.That "lord" was all he had left.

Suppressing the desire in his heart little by little, Yiyan buried himself in rectifying his new army.However, a few days later, the herald came to the camp: "Lieutenant Yi, Your Majesty welcomes you!"

Looking at the newspaper on the table, Liang Feng felt his forehead throbbing.

Just a few days ago, the Xiongnu officially established a country.Liu Yuan proclaimed himself the "King of Han" and followed the Shu Han as the Emperor Xiaohuai.This will make the world go crazy!Now the Empress Liu Chan still has four sons living in Luoyang. What kind of Shuhan do you Huns respect? !

Faced with the provocation of this "pseudo-Chinese" regime, Sima Teng certainly could not sit idly by and immediately sent generals to attack Lishi.Seeing that the war is coming.

But with such a bad situation, the court still has no peace.Zhang Fang, the general who slaughtered Luoyang before, respected the order of King Hejian and ran to Luoyang.Destroyed Chen Min and Shangguansi who had fled back from the previous defeat in Dangyin, and took the emperor and the king of Chengdu back to the court.But Zhang Fang is by no means a good general who will serve the imperial court wholeheartedly.Just the act of plundering Luoyang before and eating human flesh mixed with beef and mutton is enough to show its ferocious and terrifying face.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Fang arrived in Luoyang, another wave of refugees immediately appeared.The people of Luoyang fled one after another, and the entire capital was further and further away.

On the other side of Yecheng, Duan's Xianbei also plundered the prosperous century-old capital.In order to win over these barbarians, Wang Jun did not stop them from burning, killing and looting at all. He only ordered the rectification of military discipline when the Xianbei people left Yecheng.Because of this order, these yellow-headed Xianbei sank the eight thousand women captured from Yecheng into the bottom of Yishui.

Both Luoyang and Yecheng are so bad, who can care about the situation in Bingzhou?In such a big environment, other people began to move around.

In Shangdang, several gangs of bandits colluded together and caused a commotion.It was also thanks to the Liang Mansion's repeated suppression of bandits and military training that the banditry this time was controlled to a number of two thousand.However, if this is the case, you can't sit idly by.There are quite a few Huns in the bandit army, if this group of people cooperates with Liu Yuan's army, the consequences will be disastrous!

Shangdang must not be chaotic!With this major premise, this group of bandit soldiers must be wiped out!

"My lord!" Yi Yan quickly walked into the main hall and bowed in salute.

"Boyuan, how is the new military training going?" Liang Feng asked straight to the point.

"It's already formed a queue, ready to listen to orders." Yi Yan replied.

"Very well, there is banditry in Nie County. It's time for these recruits to see their blood." Liang Feng ordered coldly.
