To recruit new recruits into the army, hospitality is indispensable.

At night, Liu Bei entertained Lu Zhi's old men with wine and meat, and comforted them so that they could stay in the army with peace of mind.

During the conversation, everyone started to curse loudly when they talked about all the cowardice they had suffered in Dong Zhuo's army.

After the banquet was over, everyone was divided into various departments. Those who should go to the cavalry team went to the cavalry team, and those who should go to the fighting camp went to the fighting camp.

Lu Zhi's old army was directly absorbed, but there was one thing. It seemed like Liu Bei had buried talents. Among the many generals who came to submit, none of them served as officers above centurion. At most, they served as captains of ten in battle camps or cavalry teams.

long.

To put it mildly, Lu Zhi's old troops came to surrender, adding hundreds of soldiers to the army, including centurions and higher officers in the army. Everyone had armor. They came to surrender, and they brought armor and weapons together.

After the banquet was over and the night was getting a little late, Liu Bei hesitated and decided to train his troops. If the troops were not trained, they would be wasted, so he did not dare to waste a day.

The scale of the rebel army's training was huge and far from comparable to the training of the first batch of forty soldiers.

The forty recruits had been trained for one month. With Li Mengxi's half-exploration and half-practice, the recruits had completed all the training content in the queue.

From the simplest steps, gathering, disbanding, counting, to aligning, to walking and standing, to turning, to the queue turning and turning, then to the running queue, the final and most difficult step is the queue change.

, the difficulty is greater than all the previous actions combined.

The stationary queue changes, from two columns to one column, and from two columns to four columns. During training, I made frequent mistakes. I practiced for more than seven days and barely finished the training. Passed was completely unqualified, but now

The situation was very serious. It was necessary to train a large number of soldiers who could move in line and form battle formations in the shortest possible time. Therefore, we had to make a choice and change the content of the queue, so we temporarily stopped it.

In fact, queue transformation is very important and is one of the most valuable training exercises for queues.

The ability to change queues is related to the army's adaptability and reaction speed.

If we say that an army that cannot march in unison is one level, an army that can march in unison is another level, and an army that can run in unison is another level higher. A large horizontal row, a horizontal row of dozens or hundreds of people, and a

If the queue for sharp turns can still be aligned, then the level is extremely high, and further up, it is the ability to change queues.

Queues can change from columns to horizontal queues, from long queues to wide queues. In the era of cold weapons, queue transformation is also an important part.

Take Guan Yu's tribe as an example. The soldiers of Guan Yu's tribe can change into square, circular, conical, and conical formations. However, if the army is not well organized and well-trained, it will be completely unable to change formations.

A square formation, once transformed, turned into a mess.

After the military training business was launched, the pressure on everyone increased greatly.

When there were forty new soldiers, every time they trained, it was enough to surround a small field with torch frames.

When the forty new recruits were assigned as training instructors, as many as 1,600 people were training at the same time. Not only was it hard to find a place, but there were almost not enough torches and stands.

Here we have to mention the strong logistical capabilities of the rebel army. The military craftsman camp started making torch stands a long time ago and accumulated them day by day. Until now, it can meet the lighting needs of 1,600 people for training.

From this point, we can see the hidden strength of the rebels.

Training troops while marching, practicing while marching, may seem simple, but it places extremely high demands on logistics and management capabilities.

You need to train your troops while marching, not during the day. At most, you can practice running during the day, just like Guan Yu's troops.

To train troops, you must stop and have enough time. This time can only be half an hour in the morning and most of the night.

To train troops at night, there must be enough light. There must be enough light. The only thing that can illuminate is a dry firewood torch. If there is enough firewood, just pile it up and light a fire, which will provide enough lighting. But

Since then, the loss of firewood and supplies has been huge, and the cost of training troops has been a bit too high. Furthermore, if it rains, the firewood will be extinguished, and if it rains, there will be no way to train troops.

The ingenuity of the Rebel Army's architecture is that many torch stands were specially made to serve as lighting tools.

Compared with just stacking a pile of firewood for lighting, the advantages of a torch stand are: first, the torch is placed at a high place, and the lighting effect is excellent. One torch can illuminate a large area, reducing the consumption of firewood by a hundred times, which greatly reduces the consumption of firewood.

It reduces the additional cost of training troops; secondly, the torch stand can prevent rain.

Especially now in October, when it is rainy in late autumn, there are six days or less of rainy nights. Without these torch stands, the rebel army's training time will be reduced by one-sixth. And precisely because of these torch stands, the rain will last as long as

Even if it's not big, we can still continue to train troops. It's hard to say that standing in a military posture during a heavy rain will have a better training effect.

At night, the autumn wind blows one after another.

We are not far from the enemy, but we still hold on to the matter of troop training without giving up at all.

Outside the camp, small training grounds surrounded by torches formed a circle one after another around the camp.

There are naturally a lot of problems when training new soldiers. Whether it's Li Mengxi or Liu Bei, they have to go to various places to give guidance.

A training ground was very small, with forty people standing in four rows. The queue almost filled up the place, and you couldn't take more than two steps without bumping into the torch stand.

The recruits who had completed training before were now training instructors. A young man with a green silk headband, a serious face, stood at attention in front of the queue, looking at the queue from left to right over and over again with a serious expression.

When it comes to military training, these green scarf soldiers have no experience at all. They can only imitate Li Mengxi and Liu Bei's military training methods in a rigid way, bit by bit.

The green scarf soldier glanced at a person in the team who may have been tired from standing. He twisted his neck and suddenly became angry, "Damn it, who told you to move!"

The green scarf soldier walked over and pointed at the man whose neck was moving across the front row, "You, get out!"

The man was scolded and felt aggrieved, "There is an insect crawling on my face!"

The green scarf soldier was not at all considerate and said in a cold voice, "Are there insects? Don't say there are insects. It's just a wasp stung. If you don't let me move, you are not allowed to move. I will nail you to the ground!"

The new soldier who was twitching his neck came out reluctantly, and the green scarf soldier walked up to him with his neck twitching.

Li Mengxi, who came here at some point, saw the Green Turban soldiers beating people, and immediately felt that something was wrong. How could they beat people?

Li Mengxi came out at the right time and called the Qingjin soldiers to stop.

"I said, don't hit people. Do you think Mr. Xuande has ever hit anyone with his own hands during military training? If anyone makes a mistake, call the military judge and ask him to whip him. Remember, you instructors cannot

Hit someone."

The recruits in the queue became even more careful when they heard Li Mengxi talk about whipping. The instructors were just two-necked men, neither light nor heavy. If the military judge was called in and they had to be whipped, they could still tell which was light and which was heavy.

Li Mengxi didn't come, and the green scarf soldiers stared at the new recruits with a straight face and a majestic look. As soon as Li Mengxi came, the green scarf soldiers looked very restrained. They scratched their heads and giggled, and asked cautiously, "Military advisor, look at what I'm practicing.

Okay?"

Li Mengxi pretended to walk around the queue, then nodded, "Very good! Good practice! Keep going!"

Li Mengxi knew very well that the Qingjin soldiers themselves had just completed the formation training. They must have been very nervous and unconfident during the rest of the training. At this time, for the Qingjin soldiers, encouragement was more important than criticism. As long as the Qingjin soldiers dared to let go.

To start training, according to the queue training process they have learned, it is enough to be an instructor.

Li Mengxi gave some brief instructions and asked the Qingjin soldiers to continue training, and he went to inspect the next training ground.

After Li Mengxi left, the Qingjin soldiers cheered up and continued their training.

The Qingjin soldiers in charge of training should all be serious and responsible. Li Mengxi also used the incentive method. He and all the training instructors Yan Ming selected the 20 best recruits from the 40 recruit teams in one month.

Wine and meat, rewarded with grain, and rewarded with official positions.

Under this heavy reward, except for some salted fish, most of the green scarf soldiers will work extra hard to get official positions.

Li Mengxi was patrolling here, and on the other side, Liu Bei was also training troops, but he was training female soldiers.

Liu Bei originally wanted to leave the job of training female soldiers to Li Mengxi, but given Li Mengxi's age and height, it was really not suitable for serious military training. He had no choice but to leave it to Liu Bei.

It was extremely difficult for Liu Bei to train female soldiers.

"Sisters-in-law, let me say it again, stop and don't move around." Liu Bei saw someone moving in the queue and explained helplessly, "Let's think about it, people are standing next to each other, standing so close, if you move your head in front, your hair will

If you throw it away, it will cover the eyes of the people behind you, right?

So we say, since we don’t allow tampering, it makes sense.”

In order to deepen his persuasion, Liu Bei added, "Let your sisters-in-law come to practice the army. I don't mean to say that I want my sisters-in-law to go into battle and fight for their lives."

But now that the war is in chaos, you are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. In case of emergency, you can learn more skills to protect yourselves, right?"

Liu Bei walked to the side of the queue, looked at the women who were standing quietly, and said earnestly, "The world is in trouble, it doesn't hurt to learn more skills."

I wonder if the women listened to Liu Bei's words. If they didn't, they just didn't cooperate. There was nothing Liu Bei could do. He couldn't start fighting.

When training male soldiers, whoever makes mistakes can be kicked out and whipped. But if these women are really dragged out and whipped, it will not look good and ugly.

Therefore, when training female soldiers, we can only understand emotions, move them with reason, and convince others with reason.

When discussing with Li Mengxi privately, Li Mengxi said that it would be a lot easier if there were female soldiers in the army now or in the future.

Liu Bei realized this. If there were only one female soldier who knew how to train soldiers, it would be much easier to train female soldiers, and they would not be tied up.

It was not easy for Liu Bei to reprimand women, but female soldiers had no worries when reprimanding women.

After the first batch of 40 green scarf soldiers were trained, the second batch of 1,600 female soldiers and the first batch of 40 female soldiers began training almost at the same time.

If the two progresses are close, then after 1,600 soldiers have been trained, the first batch of female soldiers will probably be trained.

Liu Bei paced back and forth, looking at the queue from time to time. He counted the time and didn't move for a long time. Liu Bei ordered, "Everything is there-" He deliberately lengthened his voice, "Stand still--

-Walk!"

The complexity and difficulty of moving actions are much higher than those of stillness.

To stand at attention, the key points are just to straighten your chest and draw in your abdomen, look forward, open your shoulders, straighten your legs, and place your hands against the seam of your pants.

To stand still, you not only have to hold your chest and head up, look forward, keep your hands straight, the angle and height of your arms forward, the angle and height of your backswing, the height of your legs, the height and angle of your knees, and how you place your feet.

The complexity of how to coordinate the hands and feet when falling is far more difficult than static movements.

As soon as he was ordered to stand still, Liu Bei felt a headache, as if he had returned to the time when he was training the Green Turban Soldiers.
