Wang Ben gave Zhao Tuo only half a month.
But in the first three days, the defeated soldiers of the Hanoi army who had been ordered to gather in various cities and towns arrived here, and other soldiers were reorganized. So by the time everyone gathers for this song, there are only twelve days left to actually train.
"Teach a hundred people to fight, and if they are successful, they will unite a thousand people; if a thousand people are taught it, and they will unite ten thousand people; if they are taught a thousand people, they will unite it with the three armies. If the three armies are divided and united, this is the law of war, and if they are taught it, they will be united. , try it and read it.”
Zhao Tuo stood on the parade platform, looked at the thousands of soldiers lined up in the camp, and spoke to several subordinates beside him. He was talking about "Wei Liao's Art of War" compiled by the current state Wei Liao.
When Zhao Tuo was a Langguan in Xianyang, he was not idle. He not only found this new art of war from Bang Wei's Mansion to learn, but also borrowed "Sun Zi", "Wu Zi" and other books from the homes of Yang Xiong, Zhao Bi and others. He read military books in the early days, and now that he is a military commander, he can naturally speak them in a coherent manner, matching his status.
"What the military commander said is absolutely true. If you use this method to train troops, you will definitely be able to build a strong army."
Zhang He immediately praised this five hundred master from Yingchuan County with a flattering smile on his face. Since meeting Zhao Tuo, this person has looked for opportunities to praise him no less than ten times.
Zhao Guang nodded silently.
The black buttocks picked at their buttocks and said: "I understand this. Last year, under General Li, we practiced individually one by one, one by one, one by one, and then one by one, and then we gathered together with thousands of people to practice troops. Hehe, at that time Our military commanders made a big splash in the military exercise. Even General Li personally called us to the parade platform to praise us, saying that the military commanders were very good and would have a bright future. No, in the blink of an eye, we made a military commander song. General Li is really discerning."
Hearing this, Xiqigu and Shejian both nodded. This was how they came here back then.
Zhang He's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "As expected of Zhao Junjun, he was praised by General Li at a young age. I really admire him!"
Zhao Tuo ignored Zhang He's flattery, and a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. A year ago, he was just a pawn who stood in the ranks for training. A year later, he became a military commander leading 5,000 troops. The change of identity was quite surprising.
"Thanks to the fact that I personally entered the military camp and started as a pawn, I can understand all aspects of military training. Now that I am a military commander, when it is my turn to train, I don't have to rush around. This is probably the combination of practice and theory."
Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart, and his thoughts returned to his eyes. He glanced at the thousands of soldiers lined up in the school field.
Needless to say, the five hundred Guanzhong troops were in good order. They stood neatly and neatly, with their heads held high.
The two thousand Hanoi troops are not bad. After all, they are regular troops who have been trained and have been on the battlefield. This kind of formation is a small problem.
The remaining one thousand Shangdang troops are also quite impressive, which shows that Zhao Guang has some abilities.
The ones who came close were the five hundred Yingchuan people under Zhang He.
Yingchuan County is in Korean territory, and Qin destroyed Korea only three or four years ago, so these five hundred Koreans have not received much training. In addition, Zhang He may not be focused on training troops, so the five hundred people stand crookedly and can stand vertically. Stand in an arc shape.
But compared to the Hanzhong military formation on the side, these 500 Yingchuan troops can be said to be highly disciplined.
I saw that half of the thousand Hanzhong people were able to obey the command and stood almost like the Yingchuan people, forming a square formation into a circular formation.
The other half is mostly composed of Qiang and Di barbarians. They stand in circles, squares, trapezoids, or various combinations of shapes. They gathered together in twos and threes, and although they did not dare to make loud noises, they still whispered to each other in various barbarian languages, and occasionally laughed.
Zhao Tuo's face turned dark.
Although his army is a patchwork of troops, the Guanzhong Army and the Hanoi Army account for half of the soldiers. With a little training and cooperation, they can go to the battlefield to kill. The Shangdang Army and Yingchuan Army are slightly worse, and they can also do it after training. Of the second-line troops, only the thousand Hanzhong garrison soldiers were the most troublesome.
"Hasn't the Lord of the Two and Five Hundred Qiang arrived yet?"
Zhao Tuo asked. It had been a while since the time for the gathering was ordered. His three 2500 masters, and the 500 commanders directly under Zhao Tuo, Zhang He and Xiqi Gu, had all arrived, but the Qiang Dagger had not yet appeared.
Hearing this, Black Butt said angrily: "Barbarians are barbarians. In my opinion, it's better to take the opportunity to remove the barbarian Qiang Dagger and replace him with one of ours as the leader of the two to five hundred people."
"It's impossible. Those Qiang and Di barbarians are fierce by nature and don't obey orders. Only Qiang Dagger can instruct them to do anything. If he is replaced rashly, I'm afraid those barbarians will riot."
Zhang He spoke quickly, staring at Zhao Tuo, hoping to attract his attention.
Xiqigu on the side also spoke up: "What Lord Zhang Wubai said is indeed reasonable. I heard that this Qiang Dagger comes from a large tribe of Qiang barbarians and is quite prestigious among these barbarians. This group of people can come here from Hanzhong." , it is all controlled by this person, if this position is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that I will not be able to manage it."
What the two of them said was similar to what Zhao Tuo said yesterday, and Hei Butt could only shut up in anger.
Zhao Tuo was expressionless. Just like what Xiqigu and Zhang He said, barbarian troops have always been the most difficult to manage. Not only are they unable to understand the language, their customs and ideas are also very different from those of China.
When the Qin State ruled them, it relied entirely on the locals to rule the barbarians with barbarians, and set up special barbarian roads for management. When they were recruited to join the army, they usually did some hard work of digging trenches and delivering food, and rarely went to the battlefield to kill.
That's why this Qiang Dagger is confident and dares to put on airs for himself. Because Zhao Tuo really can't replace him just because of a trivial matter. Those uncivilized barbarians don't recognize outsiders.
"What is the origin of the two five hundred masters under Qiang Dagger?"
Zhao Tuo turned his head and looked at Xiqigu. As the captain of the short soldiers, Xiqigu also served as secretary and had a deep understanding of the various officers in the army.
"Two five hundred masters, one of whom is named Qiang Gu, is also a Qiang barbarian. He has a slight understanding of the Qin language, but has a rude personality. Most of the uncivilized barbarians fall under his command."
"The other person's name is Bai Rong, who is of mixed Qin and Di descent. It is said that his father's lineage is from the Bai family of Yi County. He serves as a county official in a county in Hanzhong, and those people are under his command." Xiqigu said, pointing to the Hanzhong army. That group of five hundred people who could barely stand in line.
Zhao Tuo said "Hmm" and saw that the military officer standing in front of five hundred people was a man close to thirty. Although he was a mixed race of two races, in addition to wearing a long single-plate crown symbolizing the title of a doctor, he , dressed similar to those of the barbarians, with bushy beards on his face, quite wild.
At this time, the tall Qiang Dagger came from outside the camp gate. As he walked, he greeted the Di Qiang barbarians, and there was a burst of laughter. The noisy sound made other soldiers in the phalanx look over.
"If he is allowed to continue like this, military discipline will definitely be ruined. It is better to punish him severely." She Jian whispered from the side.
"I'm measured."
Zhao Tuo was noncommittal. Seeing this, Shejian said no more.
At this time, the Qiang Dagger also walked to the military parade platform and casually raised his hand to Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo asked: "I have issued the military order to assemble, and all the generals have arrived on time. Why is the leader of the two to five hundred Qiang people late?"
Qiang Dian laughed loudly and spoke in barbarian language, and finally said to Zhao Tuo in Qin language: "I remembered the time of that military order wrong, and I was hungry just now, so I went to eat some wine and meat, so I came a little late. Please forgive me, little Junhou."
Hearing this, Hei Butt and others became furious. If they hadn't been worried about Zhao Tuo being here, they would have cursed out loud.
However, Zhao Tuo not only was not annoyed, but said kindly: "I see, there is a reason for reciting the order of two to five hundred Qiang principal offenders today. In addition, I have not strictly reaffirmed the military law, so the matter will not be pursued. However, the military needs to review the legal system. With clear rewards and punishments, the Lord of the two and five hundred Qiang still hopes to take this incident as a warning and not to do it again."
"Haha, I know, I know."
Hearing this, Qiang Dagger's eyes flashed with disdain and he casually cupped his hands.
Zhao Tuo nodded, turned around and said to the generals: "We are all here, let's start the formal training today. Shejian, Heiyi, Zhao Guang, all three of you have experience in battle formations. Today, we will start training with the golden drum flag. Let the soldiers recognize the flags and the golden drums, and each of the thousands of people will first work together to become proficient."
"Wei, I will obey the order of the military commander."
The three generals accepted the order.
Zhao Tuo said again: "Master Zhang Wubai, for the time being, the five hundred people under your command will practice setting up the troops, determining the rows, and standing vertically and horizontally. Within three days, the soldiers must know how to advance and retreat, and then start to identify them." Only with the golden drum and flag can we practice together with other tribes.”
"Wei, I will obey the order of the military commander."
Zhang He had a sad face, knowing that in Zhao Tuo's mind, his unit was relatively poor.
Zhao Tuo looked at the Qiang Dagger again and said gently: "Master Qiang 2500, your troops will also practice the formation of vertical and horizontal lines. Within three days, we must make the soldiers know how to advance and retreat. Don't slack off."
Qiang Dagger responded casually: "No."
Zhao Tuo smiled, stood on the parade platform, and spoke loudly to the generals and the soldiers in the audience.
"I am following the orders of General Wang to train troops to kill the enemy."
"For any soldier, the system must be determined first and the laws must be made clear first."
"Starting from today, we will set up the camp table and the camp gate, and keep track of the time. If it is too late, we will sit down."
"In the army, all the troops are united, the top and the bottom are linked together, each one protects the other. If anyone disobeys the order without authorization, he will be punished."
"There are no two orders in the army. Those who have two orders will be punished. Those who retain orders will be punished. Those who fail to order will also be punished!"
"Anyone who violates this rule will be punished without mercy!"
Zhao Tuo's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes scanned the soldiers on the field.
Finally, it fell on the Qiang leader.
