In front of the centurions and chiefs, Li Mengxi glanced at the many chiefs. Many of them looked familiar, but Li Mengxi could only call a few of them by name.

"Okay, everyone is here, right? Gouzi, let's take a look and see who's not here."

After recruiting more than 2,000 Yellow Turbans, they expanded their army this time. Among the rebel soldiers, there were more than 80 cavalrymen, divided into scouts, generals, sentries, and combat cavalry. Among them, there were 24 combat cavalry.

There were more than 300 crossbows and the number of infantry increased to 1,000. Guan Yu's forward force expanded from the original 300 to 400 to 500 after deducting casualties, which was equivalent to almost doubling the number.

Every city is filled with new soldiers, and the corps commanders in every city are all old warriors from the countryside.

Li Mengxi, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei discussed it and believed that when expanding the army, at least the most junior commanders should be ensured that they are familiar with military regulations and rules. Then, after a long period of time, these commanders who are familiar with military regulations will develop more familiarity with them.

After the soldiers with basic military regulations, ordinary soldiers are actually barely qualified for any position.

The most unacceptable thing is that you are not familiar with the rhythm of the rebel army in all aspects. You don't know when the rebel army will set up camp, when you will light the fire and make food, and you don't know when you have to train troops at one hour in the morning. If you don't know these things, what will the Yellow Turban soldiers do?

Long, it is like adding sand into the neat and uniform army sequence, which is very uncomfortable.

The rebel army can expand its army. Li Mengxi believes that the most extreme state of military expansion depends on the number of soldiers who are familiar with the military regulations, habits and procedures of the rebel army.

There are five hundred such soldiers, and in the extreme state, it can be expanded to five hundred or five thousand people.

If there are more, it will not be an expansion of the army, but a simple expansion of combat power, which is no different from recruiting strong men to gather people.

After a while, Gouzi counted each centurion separately and counted the number of captains in each centurion. After counting, Gouzi ran over and reported, "Everyone is here."

Li Mengxi nodded. He took a step forward and glanced at all the chiefs. "Tell me about the military order. The military order is as follows - the new soldiers will enter the camp tonight. After dinner, each chief will bring his own people and chat casually around the fire.

.

What are we talking about? It’s just to introduce each other, let the new recruits get to know the people in Shili, and also let the veterans get to know the new recruits.

Then, talk about where your home is, how many people there are, etc.

From now on, when everyone goes into battle to kill the enemy, they will all be called brothers in battle, and they will treat each other like brothers.

The Yellow Turban soldiers have just entered the camp today. They are not familiar with the place, so they must be very uneasy. You have to wait for important matters, so be sure to talk more to dispel their worries and not to frighten them every night. Do you understand me?"

All the chiefs said they understood.

Li Mengxi nodded, "Okay, tonight General Guan and I will go to patrol the camp to see if anyone is not following military orders. Don't let me catch you."

Li Mengxi warned, and all the leaders laughed.

"Also, tonight you guys are asking by the way to see what the recruits are short of, such as mats, quilts, dishes, water bags, shoes, weapons, etc. If there are any shortages, report them early tomorrow morning and pick them up at the baggage team."

"Okay, you can disperse." Li Mengxi said.

The chiefs then dispersed.

Li Mengxi glanced at Gouzi who was staying beside him, and asked, "Gouzi? Aren't you leaving?"

Gouzi didn't say anything, he looked at Li Mengxi and smiled.

Gouzi only smiled and said nothing. How could Li Mengxi understand what Gouzi wanted to do?

"Gouzi, what's the matter with you? Just tell me! General Guan is here too. Don't show up. If you have anything to do, just say it!" Li Mengxi patted Gouzi's arm and said.

Gouzi chuckled, then scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "It's just... what's the point of just chatting?"

"Oh!" Li Mengxi suddenly realized that Gouzi was worried about this matter.

Li Mengxi thought it was a bit funny. Gouzi was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to make a good conversation.

But Gouzi also has some merits. He knows his own shortcomings and dares to take the initiative to ask. This sets him apart from ordinary country heroes.

If people ask questions humbly, Li Mengxi will of course give serious advice.

"Let's chat, let's talk about the family members, what they want to do after the war, and what they will do. Also, tell the recruits not to be afraid. Our rebel army has strict military discipline, which is different from other places.

He knows how to bully people, so that the recruits can relax, tell the recruits who bullied him, and ask him to tell you..."

"Tell...who are you talking to?" Gouzi was a little confused.

"Tell you what."

"Tell me?" Gouzi didn't turn around.

Li Mengxi was helpless and couldn't explain clearly, so he looked at Guan Yu and asked Guan Yu for help.

Afterwards, Guan Yu played with Li Mengxi and acted in a sitcom with Li Mengxi.

"I will pretend to be a new soldier now, and you will see what kind of talent General Guan will become."

Then, Guan Yu patted Li Mengxi on the shoulder and said, "We, the rebel army, have strict military discipline and will never bully anyone from above to below. Please relax. If someone bullies you in the future, tell me, the commander, and I will find justice for you."

As he spoke, Guan Yu patted Li Mengxi on the shoulder.

Li Mengxi was very wise and hurriedly said, "Thank you, General, for taking care of me!"

The performance is over.

"Do you understand?" Li Mengxi asked Gouzi.

Gouzi nodded repeatedly, and he understood it immediately.

In this way, Li Mengxi and Guan Yu had nothing to do. Since Gou Zi asked humbly, they would try their best to give Gou Zi advice.

Li Mengxi mentioned that at dinner tonight, the recruits could be served rice first to show their importance and kindness.

Guan Yu greatly appreciated this move and said that it could be a permanent example.

Well...another permanent example.

Then, there is sleeping at night, so the recruits can sleep inside to cool down.

The dog was stunned for a moment. It was cold when he slept outside. Where would it be cooler?

This is the difference in experience. Li Mengxi and his brother were covered with very thick quilts and woken up several times at night due to the heat.

However, the village warriors had nine beds in one tent, and ten people were crammed into them. In addition, because they were adults, the quilts were not big enough and not that warm. If they were placed outside, if they were not covered properly, the air would leak, and it would be cold.

Therefore, if it is to take care of the new recruits, they should be allowed to sleep inside.

Gouzi had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask.

There are other things, such as rotating patrols at night, or not allowing the recruits to keep watch for the first time, or having the recruits accompany them when they are keeping watch.

It was quiet and lonely in the dead of night. There were only Shi Chang and the recruits beside the campfire, chatting wordlessly. It was an opportunity to quickly strengthen their relationship.

Guan Yu and Li Mengxi gave Gouzi instructions until it was completely dark. Gouzi saw that it was already dark and hurriedly said goodbye to Guan Yu and Li Mengxi.

When Gouzi left, he kept talking about where he lived, how many people there were in his family, what his plans were after the war, whether he wanted to make a career in the army, and what he had to do first.

Serving meals to the recruits, keeping vigil with the recruits at night, etc.

Gouzi took everything Li Mengxi and Guan Yu said as a guide.
