One day in mid-February, Wen Qiao came to the barracks where Lu Yao was. Wen Qiao is not an ordinary civil official, he is both civil and military, well versed in military affairs, and can be described as extremely visionary; But after entering the camp, Wen Qiao was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

Hundreds of people lined up in formation, or fought in formation, or marched according to the drums, or retreated when they heard the gold. The soldiers, who had been very loose half a month ago, had taken on a new look. The kind of spirit that exudes from the inside out makes Wen Qiao can't help but admire: "This true master of the scripture system is also!" ”

Lu Yao, who accompanied him all the way into the camp, shook his head: "Now it just looks okay, but in fact, it's still far away, it's just an empty shelf." It will always have to be trained hard for three or five months, and then after the baptism of the big war, and by this time next year, those who can survive can barely be regarded as usable soldiers. ”

These words are not polite, they are indeed Lu Yao's true thoughts. From his point of view, the training level and combat skills of these soldiers are not as good as the urban management troops known as the elite of the world in later generations, and even they are far from ordinary grassroots militia. However, due to the constraints of objective conditions, there is no room for improvement for the time being.

Take daily physical training as an example, the improvement of physical fitness is a long-term process, during which a large amount of carbohydrates and protein intake are required, as well as fats, vitamins, inorganic salts and other supplements in order to make up for consumption. But where do these nutritional supplements come from? Although the grain and straw of the whole army have been somewhat abundant in the near future, it is far from enough to open up the supply. The wild animals such as roe deer, deer, and wild boars in the mountains and forests near Jinyang have long been swept away. This makes it impossible to sustain high-intensity physical training.

Let's talk about combat skills training. At present, the training of combat skills is carried out by a few experienced officers, and the methods of teaching them are outdated and the skills are mixed. Lu Yao had the intention of compiling documents such as the "Training Manual" to unify the training requirements for officers and men of all branches of the armed forces. The problem is that the whole army is full of rude men who only know how to fight, and there are less than five people who can read and hyphenate. What's more, compared with modern people who have generally experienced more than 15 years of learning life, the vast majority of ancient people have a slightly weak learning ability and logical thinking ability. Even if there is a formal discipline, it can be a difficult task to make it useful.

Even military uniforms are a problem. The uniform not only has the function of identification, but also can cause mental intimidation to the enemy, and is a powerful tool for cultivating a sense of self-identity and pride among soldiers. But in Jinyang City, where all industries are withering, how can anyone take care of this. Even if Lu Yao could find the tailor, there was nowhere to find cloth. Therefore, the soldiers were dressed in various colors, like armed beggars, which made Lu Yao secretly depressed.

There are all kinds of difficulties like this, and they are related to each other, and they are far from being solved by Lu Yao, a little general. Thinking of this in an instant, Lu Yao was suddenly a little stunned.

After taking two steps, he couldn't help but sigh: "I know that there is such an army: fighting spirit is like fire, military discipline is like steel, the battle will be won, and the attack must be won; Although tired and tireless, he fought 25,000 miles and broke through the encirclement and interception of millions of enemy troops...... Only an army loyal to the faith can do it. We, we're too far behind. ”

Wen Qiao smiled: "How can there be such a strong soldier in the world?" It seems that there is no record in the history books. Could it be that Daoming is talking about heavenly soldiers and generals? ”

Lu Yao was stunned, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's just a legend in the remote countryside, the language involves strange powers, and the gentleman doesn't take it." Chang Shi Mo should be taken seriously. ”

The two talked and laughed a few words, and Lu Yao invited Wen Qiao into the living room to talk in detail. Wen Qiao has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this time is no exception. After sitting down, he directly took out a scroll of documents from his sleeve and gave it to Lu Yao: "Daoming, please take a look." ”

Lu Yao opened the paperwork, only read a few lines, and his face turned pale. He carefully read the whole article, slowly folded the document and put it away, and sneered: "Such a trivial matter, I actually bothered Changshi to convey it personally, how could Lu be restrained." ”

Wen Qiao smiled bitterly: "Why should Daoming have thorns in his words. I also know that this is a bit unreasonable. But once our army has created a foundation, even if it is the lord, he has to weigh many things; Second, Daoming is so strict in governing the army, although it is invincible to use it in the battle array, don't you hear it: when the water is clear, there are no fish? ”

He got up and arched his hand to Lu Yao: "I still hope that Daoming will follow the order, don't make it difficult for the lord." ”

"Changshi, rest assured, Lu resolutely respects the military order." Lu Yao said lightly, and then didn't speak.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, Wen Qiao got up to say goodbye, and Lu Yao didn't stay, and sent him out of the camp with a salute.

Turning his head back, Lu Yao opened the document and read it again, and suddenly threw it off the ground with all his might, almost wanting to step on it to relieve his anger.

This document is very abbreviated, more than 100 words, and stamped with the seal of General Zhenwu. The content is very speechless, it turned out to be an order to transfer troops, and transfer Gao Xiang, the leader of Lu Yao's troops, to serve under the command of Long Jimeng, the general of the Hengye General of the Preparatory Raider.

Lu Yao was shocked. This dynasty implements the world military system, and all those who are soldiers are registered in the army, and soldiers and their families are under the jurisdiction of the generals who lead the troops. Over the years, it has been a thorough soldier. In these troubled times, subordinate soldiers are the foundation of a warrior. How abrupt is it that the General's Mansion actually mobilized the troops directly under Lu Yao to subordinate to others?

Lu Yao was even more annoyed. The purpose of this troop transfer order is so clear, it can only be the result of the agreement between Long Jimeng and Gao Xiang in advance. This Long Jimeng has never had any relationship with him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a passerby, how could he suddenly deliberately mobilize the right-hand officers under his command? What's more, since the establishment of Jicheng, he has always been sincere to the soldiers. For a capable officer like Gao Xiang, he relied on him as his right-hand man and trusted him. Even if Gao Xiang's actions in Guojiawu Fort were very unbearable, Lu Yao still worked hard to persuade and did not even punish him. But Gao Xiang lived up to his trust. Looking back now, in the past few days, Gao Xiang has always been a little uncomfortable in the face of himself, but he didn't find out earlier!

Continuing to think about it again, Lu Yao blamed himself even more. Lu Yao, Lu Yao, as a remnant of the defeated army in Bingzhou, turned out to be just a lowly military master, with no merit or prestige. Yue Shigong is very blue-eyed to you, promotes you to be a general, and allows you to choose elite soldiers and fierce generals to be included in your command. How many people are secretly jealous of such generous treatment? This appointment is a warning to you!

But...... Although Long Jimeng's official position is high, he definitely does not have the ability to orchestrate this transfer. Since joining Liu Kun's leadership, I have been cautious and have a good relationship with my colleagues. Could it be that I have inadvertently offended someone, so that he is embarrassed by me behind my back? Lu Yao regretted letting Wen Qiao go, otherwise he could at least inquire about some news.

He hurried back and forth a few times under the hall, bringing up a whirlwind. After a long time, he inhaled and exhaled deeply, barely calming himself down.

He picked up the paperwork, smoothed it slowly, and spread it on the desk in front of him, then lifted the curtain and said to the herald guarding outside, "Go and ask the master of the high team." ”

Before he could lower the curtain, another soldier came panting and puffing: "Tell the general, it's not good!" Team Master Gao suddenly gathered his team and left the camp, and General Xue led people to stop him...... Soon...... Looks like a fight is about to start! ”

"What?" Lu Yao was frightened into a cold sweat. Gao Xiang's movements were so fast?

At this moment, Lu Yao was not in the Chinese military tent, but in a living room converted from an old house on the west side of the camp, far away from the gate of the barracks. By the time he arrived in a hurry, the development of the situation was already more intense than Lu Yao had imagined.

In front of the gate of the barracks, Gao Xiang and Xue Tong, the two big men, confronted each other. Gao Xiang's expression was a little embarrassed; And Xue Tong had to open his halberd, like an angry lion.

Around them, more than a hundred soldiers divided into two groups and stared at each other. The soldiers clearly showed signs of fighting each other. The vast majority of them were already armed with weapons, and the blades of hundreds of knives and spears were shining with cold light, and I was afraid that a fierce weapon battle would break out at any time.

On the periphery, Shen Jin, Deng Gang, Guo Huan and others led their subordinates to surround the scene, and they were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, but they didn't know what to do. It must be known that Xue and Gao are both powerful factions in the army, and this trouble is about to start, and others are really helpless.

This situation is clear at a glance, and it is obvious that Gao Xiang suddenly made a mistake and planned to pull the team out. The soldiers guarding the camp gate were all Xue Tong's direct subordinates, and they immediately stopped them. Gao Xiang planned to break in, but provoked Xue Tong. Although Xue Tong is friendly with Gao Xiang, his personality is just to the point of being almost old-fashioned, where can Gao Xiang be allowed to come? The two were at a stalemate, and their respective subordinates escalated from verbal confrontation to fist-fighting. At this point, each other was on fire.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yao came briskly and drank heavily. Several of Gao Xiang's right-hand men hesitated a few steps forward, as if they wanted to stop him, but they flinched under Lu Yao's fierce eyes. The rest of the soldiers didn't dare to come forward, they stepped back step by step, and made way in front of Lu Yao.
