chapter Five

(From today, Zhiyu will change from the 2KKK to the 3KKKK, uploading one chapter every day, but the number of words will not be less than 3,000 words! Please continue to support! Thank you!)

"Liu Bei attacked Wu, and Zhang Fei led 10,000 troops to meet Jiangzhou from Langzhong. Before leaving, he was under his tent, and Fan Jiang killed him. Later, he posthumously named him "Horse Huan."

Fan Jiang! Zhang Da! was nicknamed one of the top ten "giant killers" in the Three Kingdoms period by later generations because these two collaborated to assassinate Zhang Fei, a peerless general of the Three Kingdoms.

I looked at the two people who might be "killing my murderers" in the future. They looked pretty pretty, not like they imagined, and they looked vulgar. I didn't expect that they joined the eldest brother's army at this time. I wonder if this is to attract a wolf into the house? In my contemplation, I unconsciously exuded a strong murderous aura, covering Fan and Zhang.

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were chatting with people with a smile on their faces. Suddenly, they felt an extremely powerful aura of murderous intent surrounded him. Under this aura, their bodies could not move. The bone-bone chill spread from their chests to their limbs, and cold sweat spread on their foreheads, and soon they were sweating all over. Just as the two were about to despair, the murderous intent quickly dissipated. The huge contrast from extreme tension to escaping from death made the two of them sit on the ground with no power.

When I realized it, I was shocked to find that Fan and Zhang were forced to the verge of collapse by the strong murderous aura I exuded. If I got rid of them, would they let them go? After hesitating for a moment, I decided to let them go first. We are just a newcomer, so it is not advisable to kill them!

Thinking of this, I slowly calmed down my murderous intent. In the hall, almost everyone was confused about Fan Jiang and Zhang Da's disobedience, so only the second brother and Zhao Yun looked at me with a sense of sensation.

………………………………………………………

On the third day of his arrival in Runan, the eldest brother officially took over the government affairs of Runan as the governor of Yuzhou. The eldest brother appointed Sun Qian as a separate commander, Jian Yong as the governor, Chen Zhen as the chief clerk, and Sun Qian as the head of the county. (Note: Liu Bei was once presented by Cao Cao as the governor of Yuzhou) At the same time, the eldest brother opened the mansion with the left general, and appointed the second brother as the general of the bandits, I was the general of the enemy, Liu Pi was the general of Anhan, Gong Du as the general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty, Lin Bao as the captain of Fenwei, Lin Xue as the captain of Jianwei, Jin Chou as the captain of Fenwu, Liao Hua as the captain of Wuwei, and Zhao Yun as the captain of the fight against the thieves... The head of my second brother and I were in charge of military affairs.

In terms of government affairs, Sun Qian first checked the decline of the people's livelihood in Runan, registering it, and then allocating land according to the actual labor force of each household, trying to restore the agricultural production in Runan as soon as possible. If in other prefectures and counties, a large amount of land was in the hands of wealthy families, such measures would encounter great resistance. However, due to the long-term wars in Runan, the wealthy families in the county either died or left, leaving a large amount of unowned and deserted land, which made this happen.

The approach became very feasible. Sun Qian was not bound by customs and was able to adapt to the times and local conditions. Perhaps, Sun Qian's internal affairs talent was not much more frustrated than Chen Qun of Cao Wei and Zhang Zhao of Sun Wu. However, in the original historical trajectory, the bumpy experience of the eldest brother in the first half of his life did not give Sun Qian the opportunity to show his internal affairs talent. When the eldest brother had a stable territory, Sun Qian died of illness early, which is a pity!

Government affairs are carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of Sun Gan. I don’t need to worry about this, and I can’t worry about it either.

What I really need to care about is the military affairs. After receiving Liu Pi's army, the number of our army has exceeded 40,000, of which more than 4,800 soldiers followed us from the ancient city, and about 40,000 of the newly recruited Liu Pi's army. Although the number has increased, its combat capability may not be improved accordingly. After verification, the 40,000 people of Liu Pi's army accounted for 60 years and children under 15 years old, about 24,000 people. These people are not able to talk about combat effectiveness at all. If they go to the battlefield in the future, they will hardly help. The other 40,000 people are the other 40,000 soldiers. Therefore, the current "real" military strength of our army is about 21,000.

After taking over, the first thing to do is to reorganize the army of more than 40,000 Liu Pi, which was divided into two armies. I selected 16,000 of the young soldiers and formed one army, called the "Standard Army", which is the future combat army; the remaining 24,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people formed another army, called the "Stand Field Army". This army does not need to go out for battle, and it is mainly military farmland reclamation on weekdays. Runan is currently vast and sparsely populated, and it is just right for them to solve the problem of insufficient labor.

Only the soldiers of the fourth battalion who followed us to Runan from the ancient city were slightly expanded. There were about 800 cavalry in Liu Pi's army. Naturally, I organized them into the Fengqi battalion without hesitation. The cavalry could only exert combat effectiveness when the group charges, and the role it played was much smaller if it was dispersed. So far, the Fengqi battalion has finally reached the scale of more than 2,000 cavalry. At this time, after working with the vice-school Zhao Yun for a period of time, Lin Bao admired Zhao Yun's martial arts and military management skills, and took the initiative to give in to the virtuous, and Zhao Yun took the position of his lieutenant. After careful consideration, the eldest brother agreed to Lin Bao's request. Since then, the Fengqi battalion was officially under the charge of Zhao Yun, and Lin Bao served as the vice-school.

The "Tiger Gun Camp", "Bear Gun Camp" and the "Wolf Fang Camp" which are now under the Second Brother have not been expanded, and the organization of 1,000 people per battalion is still maintained. The real elite soldiers are in "element" rather than "many". The most powerful infantry during the Three Kingdoms period, Gao Shun's "Stealing Camp", had only more than 800 people in total, but the attack was pointed out by the soldiers. The soldiers of the third battalion of "tiger, bear, wolf" after more than two months of hard training and subsequent training in the battle with Zhang Xiu's army in the ancient city, can be regarded as an elite army. The combat power of the newly recruited Liu Pi army is simply incomparable to these third battalions. If they expand blindly, their combat power will not only not be enhanced, but will be weakened. According to my intention, it is to make the third battalion of infantry and the first battalion of cavalry brought out from the ancient city become a powerful brigade that competes with Cao Cao's "Tiger, Leopard Cavalry" and "Qingzhou Soldiers".

The newly reorganized infantry of nearly 16,000 people, was reorganized into the 16th battalion with 10 people, one tees, one tees, one platoon, one company, and one battalion of 4th battalion, and one brigade of 4th battalion. Second brother, I, Liu Pi, and Gong Du each led one of the brigades. Using the existing weapons and equipment, each brigade was equipped with two battalions of spearmen, one battalion of swords, one battalion of swords, and another battalion of archers. However, the quality of the swords, guns, and bows and arrows used by these 16th battalion soldiers is really not satisfactory. It seems that it is necessary to spend a lot of effort to replace standard equipment, which is another huge expense!

Another headache-inducing problem during the process of reorganization is the lack of a large number of middle and grassroots officers. With the ability of the leaders of the Liu Pi army, the leader of the company may be able to be competent in serving as a platoon, but the captains of the first battalion were really reluctant to do so for them.

The lack of talents is very difficult. Although some grassroots officers can be promoted from the army, they are only a drop in the bucket. In desperation, I could only ask my elder brother for help. At my suggestion, my elder brother issued the "Seeking for Talents" and "Search Order" as the title of "The Uncle of the Han Dynasty, the Left General, and the Governor of Yuzhou", and sought talents in Runan and nearby areas. However, after more than 20 days, the effect was not ideal. Those talents from aristocratic families were still unwilling to join our army, and those who came to join were people from poor families and grassroots. Of course, there were also some outstanding talents among them, and the two of them were the most touching me were two people - Wei Yan from Yiyang and Chen Dao from Runan.

"Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang, a famous general of Shu Han, performed outstandingly after following Liu Bei into Sichuan, and was highly valued by Liu Bei and was repeatedly entrusted with important tasks. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Wei Yan, as Zhuge Liang's right-hand man, made great contributions to Shu Han. Wei Yan was a lone person, good at raising soldiers, and was extremely brave."

"Chen Dao Chen Shuzhi, when Liu Bei was in Yuzhou, he became a subordinate of Liu Bei and followed Liu Bei to fight all directions. His reputation was as good as Zhao Yun, and they were all known for their loyalty and courage. During the reign of the Later Shu Dynasty, Chen Dao was appointed as the General of the Western Expedition and Marquis of Ting, and replaced Li Yan to guard Yong'an, and died of illness. Later generations praised Chen Dao's "Zhongke in the Western Expedition and Selected Soldiers during the Constitution, and was fierce in the fierce generals!"

Wei Yan, Chen Dao! These two are rare generals, brave and resourceful, and are worthy of use.

In addition to Wei Yan and Chen Dao, there are a few people who are unknown and have extraordinary patience. The Gushi man Jie Shi Jie Shuanghui (a book friend with a city gangster, who he named himself), and the Ruyin people, who are both skilled in martial arts and have a brief understanding of military tactics. Wei Yan and Chen Dao were appointed as the camp lieutenant, Jie Shi, and Dai Bing were appointed as the vice-chairman of the camp.

The army was reorganized and the officers were fully equipped. What we had to do next was to conduct strict and systematic formal training on the soldiers of the newly formed 4th Brigade's 16th Battalion: attack and killing skills, physical fitness, and battle formation drills. In order to ensure the quality of training, my second brother and I spent all day in the military camp, personally participated and supervised the training.

…………

Time flies, autumn goes by and winter comes, and more than a month has passed. As a result of hard training, it can only be said that the new army of the 16th battalion was first formal, and there is still a big gap between the "Old Fourth Battalion" formed when the ancient city was formed.

In the past month, many things have happened, both good and bad.

The main thing is that Mi Zhu and the Mi Fang brothers also came to Runan and returned to their elder brother's command. The biggest benefit of their return is that our army does not have to worry about money and food for the time being. As a well-known wealthy family in the world, the Mi family is unimaginable. After Mi Zhu returned, he quickly raised a large amount of food and food, military equipment, weapons, bows and arrows, solving the urgent needs of the army, which made people admire his great energy.

In terms of bad things, the biggest bad thing is that Cao Cao really defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu like the trajectory of history. After this battle, less than 20,000 Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou. Yuan Shao was angry and lying in bed sick. After Cao Cao's victory, he had temporarily returned to Xuchang.
