At the beginning of the founding of the country, Cao Wei led the construction of the post communication system throughout the Central Plains under the leadership of Chen Qun, a famous minister, and formulated the "Post Post Order" as the management system. After the current dynasty mixed a universe, it not only inherited the system handed down by the previous generation, but also further improved and expanded it, and at that time, the postal route with Luoyang as the center could even reach Daqin in the extreme west. Even when Emperor Hui Yuyu and Shu Zheng became increasingly chaotic, the post system was still generally able to play a role. When Gou Xi first took office as the assassin of Yanzhou, he raised a thousand miles of cattle to transport the precious and beautiful fresh food that was given to the magnates in Beijing, and the 500-mile journey was returned at dusk, and the convenience of communication between Luoyang and Yanzhou can be seen.

In recent years, affected by the war, 90% of the original pavilions and post houses have been destroyed, and the road between the central and local governments is congested and the situation of life is becoming more and more similar to the end of the Han Dynasty. But the bottom of the road is still there after all, and the subordinates of Funiu Village bought local officials along the way, and there were no difficulties and urgent passage documents along the way, so Hu Liuniang's letter only took five days to enter the territory of Youzhou.

The pass chosen at the time of entry is still the Juma River ferry in Quanzhou County, 6 Yao has sent people to open a special post station here, and several good horses are raised in the post station, which is specially used to transmit urgent reports. Here the messenger had a brief meal, and then he was replaced by the good horse of the inn. The horse's bridle was also decorated with long white feathers to indicate the urgency of the messenger's mission.

When the messenger galloped out of the door of the post station, five light horsemen followed, and the messenger was surrounded by wings in front of the two and three in the back, shouting loudly to drive away the idle people near the left side of the post station, and went to Jicheng in a smoke. This kind of Pegasus emergency report always comes once every three or five days, and the people near the post station are used to it, and they don't pay special attention to it. On the sloping ground to the north of the post station, there were several people looking at the figure of the six-man cavalry in the distance, thoughtful...... It is the Youzhou Thorn Shi Zu and his brother Zu Yue, his subordinate heavy general Qi Hong and others who went out on patrol in civilian clothes.

"These light horsemen are all elite soldiers." Qi Hong sighed.

The messenger is dusty, but it is enough. The five cavalrymen who escorted the messenger forward were nothing more than ordinary soldiers attached to the post station, but all of them had a fierce look on their backs, and when they rode forward, they showed extremely clever riding skills, and the queue was even more obscure. Even Qi Hong, a famous general who once swept the army across the Central Plains, had to admire his elite.

"Such a soldier only needs to be led by a brave general, and hundreds of people are enough to cross the battlefield and wave the flag, and wherever they are placed, they will be the army of cronies who are particularly valued. It's just in Youzhou, but it's just an ordinary part of the Eagle Yang Army stationed south of Jicheng, and there are such elites. Since the beginning of this year, 6 Daoming has redefined the military system in Youzhou, setting up six armies in Henghai, Duliao, Woye, Pingshuo, Yingyang, and Dingbian, and enriching them with strong soldiers who have gone through hard battles and hard training, with 5,000 people in each army! I used to hear that 6 Daoming had the courage to go in and out of the army alone, and now I have seen the results of his military training, and I realize that this person really has the style of a famous general. ”

Everyone present paid attention to 6 Yao's every move in Youzhou, and couldn't help but nod together when they heard it.

At the beginning of the year, after the collection of the Youzhou armies by means of gathering warriors and distributing land rewards, 6 Yao took advantage of the situation to carry out an unprecedented large-scale training.

Youzhou's people are fierce and Hu and Han are mixed, and they have always been produced by strong soldiers, but relatively speaking, the problem of training and military discipline is very strict, and the military quality of officers at all levels is also lacking in the eyes of 6 Yao. This large-scale military training is aimed at these aspects. Tens of thousands of troops, divided into several large battalions, once a day in the morning and afternoon, due to the extremely strict requirements, because of fatigue or drill mistakes caused by the wounded and sick attrition, nearly 100 people a day; Officers at all levels would gather in the evening to study the art of war and discuss combat examples; And there are teachers who teach the stories of loyal ministers and good generals in the history books every day according to the outline demarcated in advance.

In this way, both non-commissioned officers and officers almost all complained bitterly. And 6 Haruka's countermeasures are still nothing more than three:

First, severe punishment. During the exercise, the most important thing is that the military order is like a mountain, and anyone who violates the order, no matter who it is, will be immediately punished with heavy fines. There are two veteran and backbone officers of the Daijun Army, who have made meritorious contributions in the previous Daijun War and have just been rewarded with land; Because of this, the two of them were proud and complained about the training, and as a result, they were immediately stripped of all their land rewards and reduced to ordinary pawns. This is not enough, those who dare to flee or are lazy will be immediately punished once they are present, and they will not be forgiven. He successively killed 100 people and the following 35 people, and even hung the rank on the camp gate with a wooden pole, so that people could observe it every day, and the majesty of General Pingbei was engraved into the minds of every soldier with blood.

Both, generous rewards. Although the drill is extremely hard and tiring, anyone who shows excellence in the drill will be immediately commended. The most common is to eat meat for dinner that night, just to add food to the soldiers, hundreds of sheep from the grassland are consumed. And if the table is more special, the reward will be correspondingly more. Those who are extremely good, regardless of their qualifications, are immediately promoted on the spot and notified to the whole army for commendation. There was a team surnamed Song in Wang Jun's old department, who came from a humble background and was born clumsy and would not be able to meet him, so although he had been in the army for decades and fought thousands of miles and fought with foreign races hundreds of times, he was always just a soldier. He participated in the big competition held by 6 Yao in the Bird's Nest School, and was promoted to the governor of the 100 people in the Dingbian Army by virtue of his long-standing strength. During this large-scale military training, he was in the limelight again, leading his subordinates to win sixteen victories against other 100-man teams, and was personally named the champion of the whole army by General Pingbei, and rewarded a famous horse on the spot, and the officer was promoted to become the team leader. This team leader is extraordinary, it is set up by General Pingbei by drawing on the military system of the Great Qin State in the extreme west, named "Xi Team Master", with a respected status, and he can not kneel when he sees the general. There are only six people in the six armies, and they are all capable officers with extremely rich experience and can be the commanders of the divisions of the whole army. In this way, the whole army was envious, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted.

Of the three, the generals came to practice in person and shared weal and woe. During the entire large-scale military training, 6 Yao was in the barracks and could not move an inch. what kind of food the soldier eats, what he eats; What kind of barracks does the soldier live in, what does he live in; He trained the same kind of hard training the soldier had. As time went by, the soldiers continued to undergo rotation, promotion, and reorganization, but formed a situation where everyone had witnessed the sharing of weal and woe between General Pingbei and the soldiers, which made 6 Yao's control over the army unprecedentedly improved. Among the people present, some people tried to buy and win over a part of the Youzhou Army not long ago, but now there are few generals who have succumbed to the temptation, on the whole, the tens of thousands of people in the Youzhou Army have undoubtedly been firmly controlled by 6 Yao, and there is no chance to take advantage of it.

"And rightfully so. After all, 6 Yao's family is not only a dead country, but also from the army, and he can have his current status, all thanks to military might. Zu Yue has always been straightforward, and when he was in charge of Chenggao County, he offended others, so he had to return to Youzhou with his brother to serve, but at this moment he was still bold and outspoken, and he had no scruples: "I heard that when 6 Yao was in Yecheng, he gathered more than 1,000 people and horses from the beggar army and the Jisang thieves, and now more than 50% of them have been killed in battle, and this kind of use of soldiers is really ruthless." Now that he is training his troops so hard and urgent, I'm afraid that he is going to make another move, right? Brother, don't be on guard! ”

Zu Yue was impatient, not only did he speak loudly, but he even sprayed spittle on Zu Li's face. Fortunately, Zu Ti is very tolerant of his young half-brother, and his attitude is even more leisurely and peaceful: "6 Daoming is the military governor of Youzhou, and he has the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people. He went to the army to conduct military exercises and teach soldiers to practice war, all of which are blamed, and it is the luck of the people of northern Xinjiang, what is there to be nervous about? Although I and 6 Daoming are in charge of civil and military affairs, we are both ministers appointed by the imperial court, and we should work together in harmony. Haha, Shi Shao...... Don't let others provoke you! ”

"Where is there anyone to provoke? Brother can't help but worry too much......" Zu Yue hesitated a few times, and then said: "With my brother's vision, can't you tell the wolf ambition of 6 Yao?" If nothing else, just look at the post station he set up here, how many people have received it these days? I have specially sent reliable people to find out that this postal route not only penetrates deep into Jizhou, but also probably has a secret way to the Central Plains and other places. How much manpower and material resources were needed to build and maintain this postal route? As a military person of the Governor of Youzhou, why is he so eager to explore the Central Plains? It's terrible to think about such things! ”

Zu Ti frowned slightly: "It's too rude to send someone to spy on the governor of Youzhou." Shi Shao, not in the future! ”

Zu Ti has his own temperament of not being angry and majestic, not to mention that he is much older than Zu Yue, and Zu Yue respects him and treats him as a brother and a father. Even so, no matter how reluctant Zu Yue was, he could only bow down and say, "Yes." ”

Rao is ancestor is like this, and the rebellious attitude between his eyebrows and eyes is still there, and it falls in Zu Li's eyes, which immediately makes him sigh. His father Zu Wu died early, and his elder brother Zu Cai, Zu Na and himself have been away from home for many years, neglecting to discipline their juniors, so that this young brother has a rough personality and radical actions, which is not a sign of success. But he is already an adult, and he has been raised as filial piety and incorruptibility, and he has his own dignity, and he cannot praise and disparage him as he did before, and treat him as an ignorant child.

"General Qi, Shi Shao, one of you pays attention to the soldiers and the other pays attention to the envoys, and you really have something unique. To be honest, I also have some concerns, but the angle is different from both of them. Zu Ti smiled and changed the subject.

Qi Hong squeezed out a smile on his cold and hard face, and asked playfully, "What is the ancestral history concerned about?" I would like to hear about it. ”

Zu Ti pointed to the ragged pedestrians on the road: "Wanderers." ”

"Outcasts?" Qi Hong frowned.

"Last winter, the Central Plains and Hebei were catastrophic, and there was an endless stream of displaced people from the north these days. However, hasn't the elder brother already contacted the families in various places to make them properly settled? What else is there to catch the eye? Zuyo was really attracted by the new topic, and approached to ask excitedly.
