For a period of time after that, Liu Chan's life was quite peaceful.

The new people who moved into the shantytowns gradually found jobs that suited them and settled down.

Peng Yi felt that his words and deeds that day were inappropriate, and he even came to the house to apologize.

It's just that this person is used to being arrogant. Even if he apologizes, he has to hold it in his hand. He even behaves like an elder in the middle of the speech, and earnestly warns Liu Chan to study more Confucian classics...

Really ridiculously swollen.

Maybe he still thought it was a good intention? Should Liu Chan accept his favor?

Liu Chan laughed at that time.

I couldn't help but ask him: "How many dishes are there today?"

Peng Yi naturally didn't understand what it meant and looked confused.

Liu Chan, however, had a straight face and asked his "friendly" guards to invite him out in a "friendly" manner.

Fortunately, there are still a small number of weird things that disturb people like this in Chengdu.

After that day, Huang Quan, Yang Hong, and even Zhang Yi and Qiao Zhou came to visit.

Let’s talk about their respective views on the Battle of Hanzhong and the people’s livelihood in Yizhou.

Liu Chan was determined to gain a good impression, and he got along quite well with them after talking freely, and got to know them better.

Among them, Zhang Yi and Qiao Zhou were the two people he was more interested in.

If he remembered correctly, both of them opposed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition in the later period of Ji Han.

Qiao Zhou can now see some clues, but it seems a little different from his impression.

Zhang Yize can't tell it at all. He can even be said to be a radical now, but...

This kid always tries to trick himself, intentionally or unintentionally, and wants to know what he thinks of the Yizhou nobles.

This made Liu Chan wary, and he deceived him without making a clear statement.

At other times, Liu Chan went to the military camp to give lectures to the generals and practice with them to stretch their muscles.

Occasionally, I would relax with a few beauties, spend time with my mother, etc., and my life would be quite pleasant.

Anyway, I did my best as much as I could, and it wouldn't help to feel sad every day.

As for Hu Li and other new recruits, they were trained a bit harshly...

Now more than ten days have passed, and it is already the end of March.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, Liu Chan came to the military camp in the suburbs again.

The bandits in front of me finally looked like soldiers compared to when they arrived.

At least the queue is much neater.

But this is only an initial improvement.

The military posture queue is useful and has great uses.

But this is not a new invention of later generations. The ancients also knew its importance.

When Liu Chan piloted Zhao Yun to attack Changban Slope, killing indiscriminately, and breaking through in a bloody battle, he also saw the power of Cao's army's battle formation.

I have seen what a cold weapon battlefield is.

Flags covering the sky and the sun, a dark military formation with no end in sight, surrounded by blood-red eyes, screaming at the people who are coming to kill you...

Lao Liu didn't throw himself that day, but Liu Chan was still frightened and cried. He couldn't stop crying and had nightmares for a long time.

Fortunately, I was still a baby at the time and didn't attract much attention.

But he knew it from that point on.

If you want to defeat the ancient army by providing military training for college students, you are really underestimating the heroes of the world.

"How are you feeling these days?" Liu Chan put his hands behind his back and looked at the recruits who seemed to have been stripped of their skin.

They looked intently, and no one dared to speak without permission.

In the end, Hu Li took a step forward and knelt down on one knee: "Report to the Major General!"

The voice is loud and powerful.

Liu Chan nodded, yes, these bandits who were born out of the Yellow Turbans did adapt much faster than the previous waves of people.

"Get up and talk."

"Yes!" Hu Li stood up, "Major General... Although the food in the camp is good, it is quite difficult to eat."

In one sentence, the recruits expressed their feelings.

It's really hard. Standing in a military posture with a spear in hand, specifically when the sun is at its highest. As long as the tip of the spear is lowered, the patrolman will immediately slap a cane on the buttocks...

"So, does anyone want to leave? If you leave now, you can receive two months of money and food. There will be no punishment except no longer being used again." Liu Chan looked at the recruits calmly.

"Those who leave will work or farm in the future. As long as they are diligent, they will have their own way out in Chengdu."

The recruits still looked straight and stood straight.

"Take a break." This word is similar to ancient and modern times, and it is convenient to use.

It was as if each of the statues came to life, and they looked at each other in amazement.

There is no way, if there is any slight movement on weekdays, it will be like a cane. Some people have swollen hips and backs and can only sleep on their stomachs. Strictly following orders is almost a function.

But still no one came forward.

"You're not leaving?" Liu Chan asked again, "Then what if I said that these days are just for you to warm up, and the real training will be several times harder?"

The recruits all turned pale, but still no one stepped forward.

Hu Li clenched and loosened his hands, loosened and clenched again, and finally spoke again: "Major General, I just got home from the holiday. My son is a late talker, and he can only speak a few complete sentences at the age of 4.

"What he told me was: 'Dad, when I grow up, I want to join the army and kill evil people like you!'"

He seemed to have remembered a lot of things, and his eyes were a little red.

After a pause, he added: "This is the first time I've seen him admire me so much... When he meets people, he always says that his father is not a bandit, but a soldier.

"The kid from the Shouhou family next door who wasn't chosen was so jealous that the two of them almost started fighting..."

Hu Li was a little excited and talked a little, but Liu Chan did not interrupt him.

He noticed that some of the other recruits also had red eyes and their expressions were solemn.

The treatment he gives to his soldiers is different, and the effects of joining the army are naturally different from those of other armies.

In other places, the men in the family have been drafted away, which means that the strong labor force is gone, life has lost hope, and it is too late to cry.

But for him, becoming his own soldier symbolizes that the family has hope for a better life.

Men who are chosen to serve as soldiers will naturally become the glory of their families.

“That day when we went home after a break, the shanty towns welcomed us back like heroes, singing and dancing...

"I never dreamed that I would be so highly regarded in my life." Hu Li finally couldn't stand it anymore, wiped his tears and knelt on the ground, "Young General, I won't leave even if I die here! I, Hu Li, cannot afford to lose that person."

The recruits screamed and knelt down: "We won't leave!"

Among those who passed the selection, no one withdrew, and Liu Chan was very pleased.

In the past, when recruiting refugees, this process required a lot of work.

It seems that there is something extraordinary about these yellow turbans who lick blood with their swords to earn a living.

"Okay. In that case, you and others will officially start training today. The standards will be the same as those of other reserve members. Anyone who slacks off will be subject to camp regulations!"

"yes!"

"After you have practiced for another month, we will take you out to see the real chapter. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. If you don't want to die in vain then, work harder."

"yes!"

The training subjects arranged by Liu Chan for them were based on the original queue training and added military formation coordination exercises.

This requires them to be able to understand the semaphore of the team flag, formation flag, and military flag.

Can understand the instructions of drums and cymbals.

The bigger the team is, the bigger and higher the flag will be.

In this era with neither loudspeakers nor radios, on a battlefield where people shout and horses neigh, if Liu Chan wanted to convey his orders by shouting, even his Third Uncle Zhang's voice would be broken.

This is why capturing the flag and beheading generals are placed at the same level. Soldiers who lose their command system on the battlefield are vulnerable and can only be defeated.

At this point, the importance of the previous anthology is shown.

Only those who can do this can be considered a basically qualified soldier.

In addition, equestrian skills and weapon training with spears, knives, and bows were also added. The moves were lackluster, and everyone's battlefield moves were similar.

It is simple and practical to highlight an enemy.

Physical fitness includes 6-mile long-distance running, sprint sprints, return runs, strength training, etc...

There's nothing special about any of them, but most armies can't do this comprehensively.

Because the soldiers he raised by Liu Chan were full-time... They were only responsible for fighting, not production.

High-intensity training, coupled with nutrition far exceeding that of soldiers of the same period, is the key to strong combat effectiveness.

After arranging the training in the military camp, Liu Chan still had an important dinner.

His uncle, who cannot be said to be distantly related but not related by blood, is back...
