This is the first time I started to use the soft binding method to braid my nails, and I braided them based on the size of a small brick.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu tied the knot in a short time, and a pair of rope clothes was completely tied with ropes. The ropes were crisscrossed to form a long dress-like rope garment.

The upper body of the rope garment is one piece, and the lower skirt is separated from the middle to the left and right, and the skirt is cut at the front and back.

Seeing that Guan Yu and Liu Bei were very skilled at tying knots and ropes, Li Mengxi simply stopped knitting them. He was responsible for taking apart the old armor with scissors, removing the pieces piece by piece, and then handed them to Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

While weaving the armor, we chatted.

Liu Bei suddenly stopped, looked at Guan Yu and Li Mengxi, and muttered, "I forgot about this."

Li Mengxi and Guan Yu coincidentally went to see Liu Bei.

"What's the matter?" Li Mengxi was puzzled.

"Just pick one mistake every day and look for omissions in the army. That's it." Liu Bei put down the armor plate in his hand and smiled.

It turned out that this incident made Li Mengxi suddenly realize.

Can't you? In the past two days, we have been attacking mountains, fighting, withdrawing troops, and arranging for the surrender of troops. There have been many things, and we had agreed to meet every night to summarize the shortcomings in the army discovered during the day, so this matter was delayed.

"Xi'er, please tell me first." Liu Bei wanted to invite him.

After Li Mengxi thought for a while, he pondered, "When we left Zhuozhou, we decided to defeat thousands of Yellow Turbans with a thousand soldiers, and swallow thousands of Yellow Turbans to form an army of thousands."

Then use thousands to swallow thousands, make thousands of people, use tens of thousands to swallow ten thousand, and use hundreds of thousands to swallow hundreds of thousands, sweeping it to become a great trend."

"Now, in the two battles before and after, our army went out with more than a thousand troops, and now there are more than 8,000 and almost 10,000, just as we discussed before."

"But there is one thing. Our army only has a thousand soldiers. Although we have the Yellow Turbans to make up for it, the Yellow Turbans surrendered to our army for a short period of time. Firstly, the surrendered soldiers are not familiar with our military orders, and secondly, they cannot fight with me and our army.

The formations are aligned.”

"General Guan must have understood that after leaving Zhuozhou, more than a thousand veterans could still set up square formations, round formations, conical formations, flying geese formations and other formations.

Nowadays, more than half of the troops are mixed, and not to mention the conical formations and flying geese formations, I am afraid that even a mere square formation cannot be arranged neatly."

After hearing what Li Mengxi said, Guan Yu couldn't help but frown and nodded secretly. This was indeed a problem.

"If we go to fight against the thieves, there will be a series of battles before us. There are only three to two thousand soldiers. I'm afraid I won't be able to arrest them."

"Today, there are at least 3,000 young men in the civilian camp in the army."

"If these three thousand young men can form an army, our army will always have a strength of five thousand."

"General Guan led his troops forward every day, practicing the techniques of running and attacking while marching.

In my opinion, the rear troops of the Chinese Army can also train as they go."

Li Mengxi looked at Guan Yu and Liu Bei, and saw that the two men's eyes were moving. Li Mengxi continued, "The strategy of running and attacking can be practiced during the march during the day, without delay."

"But if the civilians are practicing, they must first practice the formation. However, the formation cannot be practiced during the march. You must stop to practice."

"I see it like this. If you have nothing to do at night, every time you set up camp, practice for an hour or two at night. If you don't find it useful in one or two days, you should be able to form a formation in ten and a half days.

The formation is formed, and although the civilians cannot bear to fight fiercely, it is enough to stand in line with the enemy."

Li Mengxi said that there were not enough soldiers and said that he would train troops at night. Liu Bei and Guan Yu thought it was true.

Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and looked at Li Mengxi with a smile, "Xi'er, I'll help you with this military training matter."

Li Mengxi looked serious and nodded, "I'm thinking of trying to train soldiers."

Li Mengxi agreed without hesitation.

As expected of a military advisor, when he opened his mouth, he talked about the big problems in the military.

Liu Bei memorized the question carefully and thought that he would forget it today. It was getting late and it would be inconvenient to organize things.

Starting tomorrow and tomorrow night, we will start training as a civilian.

Turning around, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu again whether he had seen any deficiencies in the army in the past two days.

Guan Yu caressed his beard and thought for a moment, "Swordsmen, our army has nearly doubled. Five swordsmen are not enough for inspections and inspections."

After saying that, he paused for a moment and said, "Not even a centurion is enough."

Hearing this, Li Mengxi couldn't help but ask, "General Guan, why do you choose the swordsman from among the centurions? Can't you choose someone else?"

When Li Mengxi thought about it, if the selection of the uncle and the five commanders was very random, then the centurion was selected at least three times to select the best, the real talents. Centurion Jin Gui, why did he let the soldiers go and not lead them?

, let me be a swordsman and axe-hand, wouldn’t it be considered a noble thing but a cheap one?

Seeing that Li Mengxi was puzzled, Guan Yu smiled and pointed at Liu Bei, "Let me tell you why the swordsman and axe-wielding man should be chosen from centurions."

Liu Bei then explained Li Mengxi's doubts seriously.

"Xi'er, this sword and axe-hand is a law enforcement sergeant.

Don't you hear that if your body is upright, you can do it without being told to do it; if your body is not upright, you can't do it even if you are told to do it.

If a person who is a swordsman and axe-hand has a bad record on a daily basis, let me ask, who is willing to obey when a sergeant is punished by a person with such a bad record?

Centurions in the army are all promoted because of their merit. Some centurions are brave or clever, so they can stand out.

If you choose a centurion who is brave, intelligent and has many military exploits to serve as a swordsman and axe-hand, how can the soldiers not be intimidated? Therefore, the soldiers can be willing to obey the law."

Li Mengxi's eyes widened, a little surprised, he understood.

The general meaning is this: to be a law enforcement sergeant, someone must be selected who can serve the public, and for this person who can serve the public, the centurions are good candidates.

The meaning of not being upright and not being able to do it even means that if you choose an idle soldier in the army who will bully this person today and bully that person tomorrow, to be a swordsman.

Then, when punishing the soldiers who have made mistakes, the soldiers will think, you are no better than me, you can punish me when the time comes!

Although the soldiers did make mistakes, if the law enforcement sergeants have many bad deeds, the soldiers will be rebellious and dissatisfied, and they will feel resentful.

Therefore, as a swordsman, you must choose someone who is "upright".

The beauty of this approach lies in understanding people's hearts.

I don’t know whether it was Liu Bei’s idea or Guan Yu’s idea to choose a centurion as a swordsman.

It should be Liu Bei.

Li Mengxi thought of another thing. During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty selected local gangsters and idle undesirable people, called "bad people".

Haha, the people of the Tang Dynasty were extremely stupid, and the law enforcement team was run by idle and unscrupulous people. It can be imagined that there must be countless things among them who took advantage of others, ignored the law, bullied the weak and feared the strong, and committed crimes and crimes.

He is responding correctly, but his body is not correct, even if he is ordered to do so, he will not be able to do it.

During the Tang Dynasty, the government employed many bad people, and the effect of law enforcement was bound to be extremely disastrous.

Li Mengxi finally learned some important knowledge. The power of law enforcement is very important and cannot be trusted to other people.

Li Mengxi said that the troops were insufficient and they should start training as soon as possible to prepare for the war in the near future; Guan Yu said that with the expansion of the army, there are not enough swordsmen and axes for supervision and inspection.

Li Mengxi and Guan Yu each mentioned a shortcoming in the army, and it was Liu Bei's turn to talk about it.

Li Mengxi and Guan Yu both looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, "It's autumn." Liu Bei looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and said, "It's getting cold in a blink of an eye, but there are many civilians in our army and we don't have enough clothes to keep out the cold."

“There is a huge gap in clothing, so it takes a long time to get everything together.

It’s really too late to make preparations in winter, so we should make plans early.”

This is what Liu Bei had in mind.

Liu Bei also had a long-term vision, thinking about what would happen in three or two months.

This is the benefit of pooling the wisdom of everyone. When you are out on the march, there are so many things going on, and if you rely on one person to think about it, there will definitely be something unexpected.

For example, when Liu Bei mentioned the issue of winter clothing, if Li Mengxi was left to think about it alone, it was very likely that Li Mengxi would have to wait until the twelfth lunar month of winter, when it was snowing heavily, and when people were freezing to death, before he thought of collecting warm clothing.
