Royal Road

Before dawn, drums sounded in the barracks. The sound of the drums is not too loud or too small, just enough to wake people up from sleep. Without daring to delay, the sergeant who was awakened from his sleep rushed to the school yard. The drum beat only thirty times, and a group of disheveled men stood in the field and lined up in a marching line.

Yi Yan dropped the drumsticks in his hand, walked to the group of soldiers who could not talk about the military capacity, and said coldly: "Everyone has it. Turn back! Run out of the camp!"

Now it's October day, and it's too hasty to get up. Many people wear only a middle coat, and they tremble when they stand on the ground, let alone leave the camp. But if no one dared to stand up to Yiyan, he obediently lined up and ran out. Hundreds of people lined up to run, and the dust could raise large swaths, and it looked quite spectacular.

This is Yi Yan's recruit.

The news of Lucheng's victory was passed to Sima Teng's hands early. Being frightened and frightened by the Huns, Sima Teng was overjoyed when he saw such a good news. He praised Linghu Kuang and Liang Feng with great fanfare. He issued a lot of wine, meat and rations as rewards, and also approved the application submitted by Linghu Kuang. So Yi Yan was smoothly promoted to a Thousand-member Superintendent Lieutenant and became a rank six military officer.

Linghu Kuang is really interesting. After Yiyan was promoted, he dispatched 800 people to serve under his command. This number was two hundred less than Yi Yan could actually lead. However, Linghu Kuang's move was indeed a good intention. In the army, as a rule, some places must be vacated for the officers who lead the troops to pay some vacant salary. Moreover, the vacancy can also arrange for his own confidant, which can be described as multi-purpose.

Yi Yan didn't eat these empty salaries, but filled most of the Liangfu Zhengbing he had brought into the army. Not only did they make up the real number of troops, but they also made up for the officers at all levels, completely taking this new army in their hands.

These recruits are not Liang Family soldiers, nor do they have exclusive military fields. However, Yi Yan's strategy of leading soldiers is ultimately different from other officers. Just not deducting military pay, letting everyone eat their stomachs, and occasionally eating meat, made these men who were forced to become soldiers to be grateful.

At the same time, Yi Yan did not forget to emphasize the absolute loyalty to the lord. As a subordinate of the master, you can eat and reward yourself. Not to mention the Liang's family soldiers, the young men who surrounded Lucheng in the first place, and everyone received the reward. If it is the turn of recruits to make contributions on the battlefield, military rewards are indispensable. This deepening of memory over and over again made the recruits who had worshipped Buddha full of motivation. Coupled with the role models of the Liang Family soldiers who were the leaders of the army and the elders, the team quickly got on the right track.

A night gathering like this can pull up the team in a short time. This exercise may seem unremarkable, but it is a great weapon during night battles. With alertness and mobility, it is several times more difficult for the army to bomb camps at night.

Yi Yan did not slack off, honing the new army little by little. Just being obedient is not enough, he wants to make this team, like his own trilogy, become a powerful army with hundreds of battles loyal only to the lord!

With this mindset, the training of recruits will not be too easy. Not to mention recruits, even some of the Liang Family soldiers before, cried out.

"Yingzheng, the cavalry camp really needs to add more people. The thousand horses alone will kill us!" As long as Wang Long found an opportunity, he couldn't help complaining to Yi Yan.

Unlike the infantry, the Liangfu cavalry team did not join the new army, but took the captured horses and built a cavalry camp near Lucheng. One is that raising horses requires an open field, and the other is to prevent the enemy from making dumplings, and a battalion must be set up outside the city. However, there were only 150 cavalrymen in Liang's Mansion, and fewer than a hundred men came to the mansion this time.

In the previous Lucheng victory, a total of more than 2,700 horses were seized. Almost a thousand horses were distributed to each county, and two hundred horses were given to Linghu Kuang as a gift. The remaining 1,500 healthy horses were all handed over to Yi Yan to form a cavalry battalion. The Huns are best at cavalry, so naturally they can't just train infantry. As a result, more than a thousand horses can make everyone complain.

Not to mention one person and two horses, even three or four horses can't be used. If you don't quickly recruit some recruits, it will be a headache.

"Deputy Zhang Ying will send another three hundred people to the county house recently, most of them will be included in the cavalry camp. You can support it for a while. It just happens to be near the winter, change horse training." Yi Yan said.

These days, because Liang Feng ordered the counties to take in refugees, the number of refugees around Liang's mansion has also seen a rapid increase. Many people who went to the party and wanted to diverge to Yanzhou and Jizhou stopped hesitatingly. There are also some refugees who have been in the Luoyang chaos and walked north along Xingdao and entered the boundary of Shangdang. Coupled with the miraculous inspiration of the great victory of Lucheng, many Jie people who believed in Buddhism also returned to their homeland, and naturally, they also became the merchants of Liangfu.

Supplementing the number of Yi households has also brought some pressure on grain storage. Zhang He sent the newly trained recruits to the county government, and the lord would think of ways to raise the soldiers.

There are quite a few Jie people who came this time, so joining the cavalry team couldn't be better.

Hearing Yi Yan's words, Wang Long couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good! My hair has fallen a lot these days! Alas, this year, I'm afraid I can't go home and hold my daughter-in-law."

It's not to blame Wang Long for resentment. The training intensity this winter is far better than usual. It can be said that the annual leave is even cancelled on weekdays. Lucheng is so far away from Liang's Mansion that I can't go home to see it.

"The war 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 is truly unmatched. I have to manage the new army and the cavalry battalion. I have done a few people's work by one person, and they have done so neatly. There are officers who eat and live with him, sharing happiness and suffering, what else can the soldiers below complain about?

Obediently swallowing those complaints back into his stomach, Wang Long was busy training soldiers again. Yi Yan looked at the Lucheng city wall in the distance, and sighed in his heart. These days, he rarely returns to the mansion, and he no longer stays with the lord every day. The second thing is that he is too busy training soldiers, and more importantly, he feels more and more that he should stay away from the Lord. The love thread in his heart tortured him from time to time, and he had to hide his true thoughts deeper.

No one knows better than him, the man's sharpness and insight; no one knows better than him, how that man treats a fanatic who covets himself. If you want a secret to become a real secret, you must avoid it as much as possible to keep everything you have. That "Master" was the only thing left for him.

Little by little, he suppressed the desire in his heart, and Yi Yan immersed himself in rectifying his new army. However, a few days later, the messenger came to the camp: "Captain Yi, please, please!"

Looking at the newsletter on the table, Liang Feng only felt his forehead jump suddenly.

Just a few days ago, the Huns formally established their country. Liu Yuan proclaimed himself the "King of Han" and pursued the emperor Xiaohuai as Emperor Xiaohuai. This one can make the world uproar! Now the post-master Liu Chan and his four sons are nesting in Luoyang. What kind of Shuhan do you, the Huns respect? !

Facing the provocation of this "pseudo-Han" regime, Sima Teng certainly couldn't sit idly by and immediately sent a general to attack Lishi. Seeing the war is approaching.

But in such a bad situation, the court is still uneasy. Zhang Fang, the general who had slaughtered Luoyang before, ran to Luoyang and respected the order of the King of Hejian. They defeated Chen Dang and Shangguansi, who had escaped from the previous defeat in Dangyin, and took the emperor and the Chengdu dynasty back to the dynasty. However, Zhang Fang is by no means a good general dedicated to serving the court. The previous act of plundering Luoyang and mixing human flesh with beef and mutton was enough to show his brutal 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 king capital became more and more distant.

On the other side of Yecheng, Duan's Xianbei also swept away the prosperous century-old capital. In order to win over these barbarians, Wang Jun did not stop them from burning, killing and looting. He only ordered the rectification of military discipline when the Xianbei left Yecheng, and the civilians could not be brought and the offenders were beheaded. Because of this order, these yellow-headed Xianbei took the eight thousand women abducted from Yecheng into the bottom of Yi Shui.

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

In the Shangdang party, several bandits colluded and caused trouble. Thanks to the Liang's repeated suppression of bandits and training soldiers before, this time the banditry was controlled to two thousand. But this is the case, and you can't just sit back and watch. There are many Huns among the bandits. If this group of people cooperate with Liu Yuan's army, the consequences will be disastrous!

The Shangdang must not be chaotic! With this major premise, this band of bandits must be wiped out!

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

"Bo Yuan, how is the new military training?" Liang Feng asked straightforwardly.

"It's a queue, I can listen to the dispatch." Yi Yan replied.

"Very well, banditry has occurred in Nie County. It's time for these recruits to see blood." Liang Feng ordered in a cold voice.
