How outrageous can an unreliable army be?
Liu Bang has always believed that when he just rebelled in Mangdang Mountain, the team he barely formed that was similar to bandits represented the lower limit of an army.
But the facts proved that Liu Bang was completely wrong, because the army in front of him no longer had a lower limit.
The simplest point is, have you ever seen an army that does not provide food and grass?
That's right, the newly formed army in front of you will not provide any food, grass or food to the soldiers. The soldiers need to prepare their own food.
Liu Bang knew that during the Warring States Period, Qin's army prepared its own horses, weapons and armor. But this was the first time Liu Bang had seen an army that even required the soldiers to prepare food and supplies themselves.
So on the afternoon of the first day when he joined the army, although Liu Bang, who was the mirror character, did not need to eat at all, Liu Bang was playing a real person at this time, so he curiously ran to ask Du Yue, his immediate boss , where to eat!
"Didn't you bring your own dry food?" Du Yue asked with a confused look on his face after hearing Liu Bang's request.
"I brought a little to eat on the way. I've already arrived at the military camp. How can I still eat the dry food I brought with me? Doesn't the army care about food?" Liu Bang asked in surprise.
"Why does the army have to take care of the food?" Du Yue asked back, confusing Liu Bang.
After a while, Liu Bang hesitated and asked, "If the army doesn't care about food, what will we eat?"
"Of course I brought my own dry food!" Du Yue said.
"But the dry food we brought with us has to be exhausted at some point! One person can't bring much dry food, so my brothers and I only have less than 5 days of dry food left!" Liu Bang said with a wry smile.
"Then go hunting for strange beasts. Hunting one strange beast will be enough for you to eat for ten days and a half! Isn't that how you lived before?" Du Yue said impatiently. He suddenly felt that he My little brother is a little too stupid to ask him such a simple truth.
"Yes, but there are no strange beasts near the military camp for a long time. Hunting a strange beast will take at least a day or two, because we are afraid that the army will not allow us to leave for such a long time!" Liu Bang said.
"When did I say that you are not allowed to leave?" Du Yue became even more confused. "If you go hunting when you run out of dry food and come back after hunting, can I not let you find a way to fill your stomach?"
"Uh..." Liu Bang was silent again for a while. An army could come and go freely, and it would only last for a day or two without reporting. Liu Bang found that his understanding of the army seemed to be too shallow.
"Then what if we encounter a battle and we are not in the military camp?" Liu Bang said.
"Don't worry, there are people watching our border. If the Scourge Legion really comes and kills us, it will take at least three days to get here. At that time, we will naturally prohibit you from leaving the military camp, and then we will kill the enemy together!" Du Yue said .
"Yes...I see...but for daily training..."
"Fighting with alien beasts is the best training... I asked you where did you come from with all this nonsense? You can't be a showman who has never fought with alien beasts before, right?" Du Yue said this and suddenly felt that he understood Why did Liu Bang have so many.
This must be a guy who has never seriously participated in hunting in the village and has grown up eating and drinking, so now he is trembling with fear when he hears that he needs to hunt for food by himself.
Thinking of this, Du Yue was no longer so angry, so he said, "If you are afraid of participating in the hunting, just follow me. We will go hunting with the nobles of the supreme Zheng family in the afternoon. You only need to serve these nobles well and share your Some of the useless things like going into the water can still make ends meet!”
"Um...huh??" Before Liu Bang could react, he was directly pulled into the Zheng family's hunting team by Du Yue.
The Zheng family is the local Chen clan and the actual controller of this army. The Shui Province was asked to form an army of 100,000 people. The Shui family naturally distributed this task layer by layer, and finally fell on the local Chen clan, the Zheng family. It became a quota of three thousand troops.
The supreme ruler of the army is naturally a member of the Zheng family. As the most valued dogleg of the Zheng family, Du Yue was lucky enough to be appointed as a hundred-man general.
The remaining 29 hundred-man generals were all trusted by the Zheng family. As for the three thousand-man generals, they were also local pariahs.
Some people may wonder why the Zheng family doesn't personally send someone to control the army. At least the positions of three thousand generals should be given to people named Zheng.
In fact, the Zheng family thought so at first, but in the end, no one in the entire Zheng family was willing to stand in front of a thousand generals.
Because once you become a thousand-man general, you will have to live in a military camp for a long time, and you will inevitably come into contact with those untouchables. This is naturally unbearable for the noble Chen clan.
So in the end, the thousands of generals were simply handed over to the untouchables. The supreme ruler was actually a member of the Zheng family, that is, Zheng Jin, the strongest contemporary member of the Zheng family who was hunting with Du Yue at this time.
Zheng Jin's hunting skills are still very good and his ability is very strong. None of the strange beasts around him is his opponent. Soon the hunting team has obtained abundant prey.
At the same time, Liu Bang followed Du Yue's orders throughout the process and worked conscientiously without even raising his head, but he did not encounter any problems. However, Du Yue was very generous. When Zheng Jin summoned him, he took Liu Bang with him, letting Zheng Jin know that he had such a subordinate.
There is nothing more to say in the following period. Although this is an army in name, they did not do anything that the army should do during the repair period. Almost all the problems that the soldiers think about every day are How to fill his stomach and rush to hunt exotic animals all day long.
Zheng Jin didn't care about this at all, or he didn't even think about organizing military training. It wasn't that Zheng Jin was too lazy, but that he didn't know that the military needed to train.
However, taking advantage of this period of time, Liu Bang became familiar with everyone around him, especially the 30 hundred generals. Liu Bang cleverly met them through various opportunities, and then chatted happily and became very good friends.
Even the three thousand-man generals gradually became friends with Liu Bang. Anyway, we have many friends, even if we don't have many, we can still create a few.
It's a pity that this kind of leisurely good days only lasted about two weeks, and this army finally ushered in their first mission, which was to go to Shuicheng to gather.
So Liu Bei followed this army to the identity of the Water Province, and this small army of 3,000 people merged into the sea and became a member of a large army of 100,000 people.
