I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

You know, under normal circumstances, the Xiangzhou army should garrison three big cities and several sections of the Great Wall, but now Lin Xuan didn't want any of them, really...

Forget it.

Yang Xiu thought about it for a while, and guessed that Lin Xuan wanted these places for the purpose of setting up the Xiangzhou Army and avoiding the southward march of the Huan people in the grassland.

Because he had never heard that when the Huan tribe in the grassland went south, they would choose places like Heixiong Ridge, Ancient City Market, Black Marsh, Mixue Forest, and Diaowangzhai.

Basically, other places are fighting, and they are here to spend the winter and watch the battle.

"Yes, General!"

Yang Xiu quickly drafted the document.

In any case, if he was stationed in these places, at least he could not die so early.

After all, the 40 cavalry of the Prairie Huan tribe went south, and anyone who dared to stop them would be destroyed.

Even if he was relegated here because he offended the empress at the court meeting.

Yang Xiu, still wants to live!

The person who delivered the documents was quickly arranged, and the next thing to do was to wait for the Yanbei Army's reply.

"General, why did you choose these points?"

Asked by Takashi Aragaki, Lieutenant of the Beiluo Imperial Army.

The order he got was that he should follow Lin Xuan and use it as a personal guard.

If one day the Xiangzhou Army collapses, the duty of their 500 Beiluo Forbidden Army is to escort Lin Xuan out of the siege and leave safely.

"Because these points are the places where the Yanbei Army will give up at any time, we can get these places, and we can accommodate 15 soldiers of the Xiangzhou Army. Frozen to death."

Lin Xuan pointed to the ancient city ruins on the map.

"To give a simple example, this ancient city has existed for thousands of years. Although it has long been abandoned and is only used as a garrison of thousands of Yanbei Army, with a little tidying up, it can be turned into an important military town. 15 people have no problem at all."

Ancient City Ruins...

I remember that when designing games, there was a function for players to build cities.

There are basically two situations for players to build a city. One is to start from a small village and gradually upgrade to build a city, which often takes time and effort.

At this time, some players discovered that by killing some powerful BOSS, they could drop the tokens for building the city.

Holding such a token can get an ancient city ruin, and building the city according to the ancient city ruins will shorten a lot of development time.

The ancient city ruins in front of me is one of the coordinate points, and a very splendid big city was built by the players in the game, and several famous wars broke out.

Lin Xuan didn't expect that he would cross over one day, and brought 15 Xiangzhou troops to the vicinity.

Since the Yanbei Army doesn't value the ancient city ruins, then leave it to him.

After dealing with the issue of the station, Lin Xuan walked out of the camp and ordered the drums to be played.

After the three drums, the 15 Xiangzhou Army gathered on the school grounds. It looked like the 15 Xiangzhou Army, but in the actual queue, there were almost 3000 people missing!

These 3000 people were not missing, but they were all quarantined because of infection with wind and cold.

In addition, most of the soldiers in the Xiangzhou Army didn't even have a good pair of straw sandals.

There are even many barefoot...

This made Lin Xuan's original plan to select the elite by letting 15 people run, but had to give up directly.

Without shoes, running around here for a few laps will only cause frostbite on the feet of most soldiers when the cold wave comes. At that time, let alone going to fight, some of them may have their limbs amputated.

There is only one way to change it!

Chapter 110 Screening

Facing an army of 15, how should we spread the word?

Lin Xuan was very curious before, but now he probably understands.

Because standing next to him was a general who belonged to Hao Shan and was known as "Big Mouth".

This is not a derogatory term, but a big mouth in the true sense. He is honest and loyal, and he speaks full of air. It is suspected that his martial arts are very high. When he speaks, he can easily be heard by the 15 troops present.

But when he speaks like this, he doesn't need to shout loudly, just speak in a normal way.

At the beginning, I saw that Yang Xiu brought up this general and there were other things, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

"Those who can do carpentry work, come out and report!"

Lin Xuan began to screen.

The "big mouth" next to him immediately repeated Lin Xuan's words to ensure that everyone present could hear them.

Soon, scattered soldiers came out, almost 350 of them were led aside, and each received a "wooden" plaque.

In the future, the wooden ordnance needed by an army of 15 will depend on these people.

"Blacksmiths and coppersmiths, come out and report!"

Lin Xuan looked at the 15 army and continued.

The "Big Mouth" beside him continued to use his sound amplification function, which was quite powerful.

To be honest, Lin Xuan seriously doubts whether such things as inner qi, inner energy, true energy, and magic power exist in this world. Otherwise, what is the principle behind this "big mouth" able to amplify and transmit sound?

Blacksmithing and coppersmithing seem to be a rare industry, and only 111 people are listed, which are temporarily listed aside.

The Xiangzhou army lacked war horses, so Lin Xuan planned to let them build horseshoes first.

In addition, Yanzhou seems to have iron ore and copper mines. At that time, they can dig and smelt them to increase military supplies.

As for the miners, the men in the grassland are tall and strong, and I believe they can adapt well to the living environment of the mine in the future.

However, the premise is that he can have enough horses and horseshoes first.

Otherwise, if the Prairie Huan tribe wanted to run away, he didn't have enough cavalry to pursue them.

After all, there are too few war horses that the Xiangzhou Army can use.

But it doesn't matter. The Xiangzhou Army is currently in its infancy. There are 111 copper and blacksmiths. Although there are not many copper smiths, more people can join in smelting iron and copper!

111 people gathered together, and each of them got a wooden plaque with the word "bronze" representing their identity.

"Those who are good at building houses go out and report!"

This time there were slightly more people on the list, about 537 people.

With these people, there will be no problem in rebuilding the ancient city ruins. By the way, people will be arranged to build a coal kiln, with less bricks, to rebuild the ancient city ruins.

537 people gathered together and got a wooden sign with the word "Jian" representing their identity.

"Those who are good at weaving straw sandals go out and report!"

The army moves together...

"Return to the team!"

Looking at the Xiangzhou Army who stepped out and returned to the queue, Lin Xuan was a little dumbfounded.

So many people know how to weave straw sandals, but why are so many people still barefoot?

Is it because it is autumn and winter and there is no grass in the field?

In any case, this issue must be resolved as soon as possible.

To tell the truth, Lin Xuan wanted to arrange some people to weave straw sandals, but in view of this situation, he had to find another way.

The three chief generals, Si Hongliang, Ai Feichi, and Hao Shan, were slightly relieved when they saw that Lin Xuan had begun to split up the Xiangzhou Army.

They thought there would be something important, but they were looking for some carpenters, masons, and copper and blacksmiths. Probably the coach wanted to develop a garrison in Yanzhou and prepare for military supplies.

"Now, I, Lin Xuan, tell you a good news and a bad news!" Lin Xuan looked at the 15 troops in front of him and said very seriously, "Let me tell you the good news first. The good news is that some of you In the future, I will be able to eat better, get more monthly pay, and have better equipment."

In an instant, many of the 15 troops were in commotion.

Everyone is from Xiangzhou. They have just experienced famine and starvation. No one knows what is more important than food and money. As for clothes, it would be even better if they have them.

Food and money are both visible and tangible. No matter who is present, they all hope to get such luck and opportunities.

As for the commander despite looking very young?However, in fact, they don't care who the commander-in-chief is.

Anyway, they are just ordinary soldiers, and probably have been soldiers all their lives.

In Lin Xuan's eyes, just for a moment, the momentum of the entire army changed.

Ah this...

Is it possible to use this method to boost morale in the future before going out to the expedition?

After thinking about it, forget it, the increase in morale will definitely improve the combat effectiveness.

However, in the absence of a foundation, the 40 cavalry who raised their morale to face the prairie Huan tribe would undoubtedly die.

Therefore, the selection of the elite must continue.

Otherwise, the Xiangzhou Army will be too much disabled and will become a great burden.

Lin Xuan's requirements were not high, and after several simple screenings, he obtained at least 3 to [-] elites.

In theory, it is relatively greedy to select 15 to [-] elites from the [-] Xiangzhou Army.

There is no way, who made the foundation of the Xiangzhou Army be a group of refugees.

"The bad news is that those who get more food and wages will have more opportunities to go to the battlefield, facing Chengjiang Kingdom and the grassland barbarians, but it is also easier to gain military exploits and promotions. Someone can even become a general!"

promotion? !

Since ancient times, slaves are slaves, poor people are poor people, and soldiers are soldiers. I have never heard of soldiers being promoted.

For a while, this bad news sounded completely good news in the ears of the 15 Xiang State Army.

Can soldiers be promoted?

You know, for these Kuhaha from Xiangzhou, it is purely in the stories and legends told by storytellers.

How could it really happen to these people?

Yang Xiu, who was still recording, was even more shocked!

What exactly does Commander Lin Xuan want to do?

Promise that soldiers can be promoted?

Just give them official positions?

How can it be?

You must know that those who have been able to obtain official positions in the army and become generals have always come from aristocratic families, and I have never heard of any ordinary soldiers being promoted to become generals.

crazy!

If this news has been spread, many generals will be crazy about it!

Not only that, but more and more aristocratic families will try their best to wipe out the Xiangzhou Army.

Si Hongliang, Hao Shan, Ai Feichi and others were stunned, they didn't expect Lin Xuan to say such shocking words.

When it came to Lieutenant Takashi Aragaki from the Beiluo Imperial Army, his expression didn't change much, he just watched quietly.

It's just that deep down in my heart I'm a little surprised by the commander Le Xianhou Linxuan?

Chapter 111 Continue to Screen

"Now, if you think you can become an elite, you are not afraid of death, and you can kill ten at a time, go to the left, and those who think you can't, go to the right, and you will have other very important tasks!"

Lin Xuan looked at the 15 Xiangzhou Army in front of him and said!

The "big mouth" beside him spread Lin Xuan's words without any ambiguity.

Lin Xuan will study this principle sooner or later, or develop some electric power in the future to manufacture some electronic speakers.

However, I don't know if the effect of this electronic horn can match the ability of this "big mouth" warrior.

The 15 Xiangzhou soldiers who heard Lin Xuan's order became agitated.

First of all, you must not be afraid of death.

Honestly, that's not a problem.
