The tents were arranged neatly, with several meters between each row. When I looked inside, I saw that the items inside were arranged neatly and meticulously, but there was an unpleasant smell lingering.

Not going.

Considering that there are eight big, foot-picking men living in this tent, it is not so strange to have such a smell.

The grass between the tents has been trampled into a road, but the white marks on the ground are still vaguely visible, which is the result of sprinkling quicklime. Drainage ditches are dug on both sides of the road, and the sewage in daily life is discharged from it.

Runs away in drains.

Each battalion is also equipped with one or two latrines. Soldiers who defecate in the open will be severely punished if caught.

The entire Tianwu Army camp was in order.

This made Xiao Cheng very satisfied.

Yang Wanfu's ability to lead troops is quite strong. It is no wonder that he has spent a lot of effort to forge his identity. The rewards he has given him now are quite considerable.

Hammer's personal strength is stronger than that of Yang Wanfu, and his loyalty is naturally stronger than that of Yang Wanfu. However, when it comes to the ability to lead troops, there is no gap. As for fighting, I'm afraid the gap will be even greater.

Yang Wanfu has seen big battles before.

"I transferred Fan Yifei to assist Han Zong, do you have any objections?" Xiao Cheng, who was patrolling the military camp accompanied by Yang Wanfu with his hands behind his back, asked casually.

"No!" Yang Wanfu shook his head and said, "The signing valued Fan Yifei. It is this boy's blessing."

Fan Yifei was the scout leader of Siwuguan back then, and his skills are needless to say. He has been following Yang Wanfu and is Yang Wanfu's confidant. Today, he is still responsible for the scouting work in the Tianwu Army, but now

The Tianwu Army has as many as three hundred scouts and outposts, all of whom are elites in the army.

"Fan Yifei has rich combat experience, which Han Zuo can't match. The reason why Fan Yifei was transferred was to take advantage of his experience." Xiao Cheng said: "As for why Wei Wu was not transferred, it is because Wei Wu and Han Zuo are too familiar. Wei Wu

He is older and more senior than Han Yu, so the relationship between the two is not easy to get along with, and it is easy for trouble to arise."

"Understood!" Yang Wanfu nodded in agreement. He was familiar with Xiao Cheng's employment methods as he had once been a governor. He was too familiar with it, and many things were indeed difficult to do.

Now Wei Wu became his deputy. This boy had skills, had fought in battles, and could walk around the world with a pair of iron feet. As soon as he joined the Tianwu Army, he immediately gained a large number of admirers.

Such a person in the Tianwu Army will naturally divide his own power and check and balance himself. Of course, with his own qualifications, he can also suppress Wei Wu. The two people in the Tianwu Army will naturally reach a balance.

Fan Yifei was transferred to assist Han Zuo for the same reason. Han Zuo had a background, backing, ability, and loyalty to Xiao Cheng, so he naturally became the boss. Fan Yifei had the qualifications, experience, and of course the ability to be his deputy.

It can make up for Han Yu's shortcomings. The two of them can maximize the capabilities of that unit and achieve a control balance.

I have to say that although Xiao Cheng is not very old, he is indeed very experienced in employing people.

This can also be seen when he assigned positions to local officials such as the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce.

It not only takes care of outsiders like myself, but also appeases the local indigenous people very well.

Yang Wanfu is very satisfied now.

When he was at Siwuguan, he was just a governor, supervising thousands of people. But now, he leads an army of 3,000 people, and soon, this army will expand to 5,000 people.

Thousands of people.

In the Song Dynasty, what kind of person could lead five thousand people?

At least it needs to be a commander.

For a guy with a questionable identity like himself to be able to hold great power is something that I never dared to think about before.

But Xiao Cheng dared to use himself.

It's hard to be dissatisfied with such a person.

Wanjia, I can't go back.

Unless there is a huge change in the world, otherwise, let your wife and children think that they have sacrificed their lives for the country, which will make them stand up and behave in their hometown.

And I will never go back to the north again in my life.

Fortunately, Xiao's plan has also been developing southwards.

The further south you go, the further away from your family, the better.

Just bury that longing deeply in your heart.

While talking, a group of people walked to the school ground. The school ground was very lively at the moment. Some soldiers were exercising here, some were practicing swords, guns, bows and arrows. Of course, some were lying on the ground, enjoying a rare moment of the day.

of spare time.

"Your soldiers are well trained. It is extremely rare for a group of ragtag soldiers to reach this level in half a year!" Xiao Cheng looked at the soldiers who had gathered together in a blink of an eye and said to Yang Wanfu with satisfaction.

When these soldiers saw them coming, no matter what they were doing, they immediately gathered and formed a formation.

Yang Wanfu waved his hand, Wei Wu shouted a few words, but the soldiers immediately dispersed and went to do what they were supposed to do. But this time, no one was sleeping. They were all energetic and energetic, which made Xiao Cheng

It looks a little funny.

"The military training minutes signed to me opened my eyes. There are many military training methods in them that I had never heard of before." Yang Wanfu said respectfully.

Speaking of which, this is another important part of Yang Wanfu's convincing of Xiao Cheng.

At this time of year, not to mention this kind of military training method, even a small skill has to be hidden, so as to pass it on from male to female!

When Xiao Cheng handed him the military training book, Yang Wanfu was really shocked.

This should be the Xiao family's secret that is not passed down, the foundation of their life, right? Just give it to yourself like this?

If you take this book yourself, you will be considered a disciple of the Xiao family, right?

But when Xiao Cheng told him that this was not some ancestral craft of the Xiao family, but some military training methods he wrote when he was free. However, his elder brother Xiao Ding was experimenting with these military training methods in the Guangrui Army.

, and then make improvements to the final experience gained, so he can decide who should be given it or not.

The strength of Xiao Ding's Guangrui army is recognized by the world.

But no one knew that Xiao Cheng had contributed to this.

Yang Wanfu was astonished and regarded this military training summary as a treasure.

This book is not just about how to build a strong army, it is really all-inclusive, covering almost all the details of an army from formation to combat and logistics supply. More importantly, Xiao Ding also details it in it.

It has recorded countless cases and experiences, which is an infinite treasure for a general.

Standing on the edge of the school field, Xiao Cheng said: "General Yang, do you know that when you were at Siwuguan, the army under your command was also the most elite part of the northwest army, but why did you still suffer defeat?

?"

Yang Wanfu felt a little ashamed when he mentioned this matter.

"It's because the general was drinking and causing trouble, and there was a traitor to help."

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "After all, there is still no strict military discipline. In other words, there is military discipline, but it is not strictly enforced. For example, if military discipline was strict, how could it be possible for outsiders to stay overnight in Siwu Pass? How could a scout not return after the time limit?

Pursue? You, the governor, don’t know, is there no one responsible for this matter? When the battle started, the soldiers panicked when they couldn’t see you as the general. Don’t they have any generals, generals, or battalion generals?

Are you going to end it? What are these people doing?"

Yang Wanfu was speechless.

"So General Yang, the most important thing in the army is military discipline. If there is military discipline, it must be strictly enforced." Xiao Cheng said: "In the army, even if it seems to be a small violation of discipline, as long as it is committed, it must be punished mercilessly.

We must be on guard against this. Our army now has no faith or soul, so we must have clear rewards and punishments to unite people's hearts."

"The general will finally be taught."

He waved his hand to signal that no one else needed to follow him, and Yang Wanfu walked a dozen steps forward with Xiao Cheng before Xiao Cheng stopped and said: "This time, you are stationed at key nodes. What are you going to do?

do you understand?"

"Understood!" Yang Wanfu said: "The first is to suppress bandits. There are countless bandits in this area. If these bandits are not wiped out, there will be many obstacles in the implementation of the signed plans. The second is to control.

Those tribal chiefs and cave masters may not necessarily be convinced by the lottery. There will be many people who violate the rules openly and secretly, and there may even be some people who openly rebel. At this time, we need to destroy them with the power of thunder. As long as we are at these nodes.

Once it is firmly anchored, we can firmly control this large area."

"You said it very well!" Xiao Cheng smiled and nodded. This is where Yang Wanfu is more useful than Han Yu. Because Yang Wanfu knows what to do proactively, but Han Yu will only do what you ask him to do.

He just does whatever he wants. If he wants to truly grow up, I'm afraid it will take a long, long time.

"You need to be more careful when it comes to suppressing bandits. Some of the heinous ones cannot be kept, but there are more who are forced to become bandits. We should caress those who can. Our purpose is not to kill people.

, but to make these people become good citizens, become people who pay taxes for us, and become our source of soldiers. With these people, we have a foundation. We cannot achieve success by just killing."

"yes!"

"Control the army and train the troops. At the same time, your attention will be on Luodian Ghost Kingdom in the next time." Xiao Cheng took a deep breath: "Collect roads, mountains and rivers, population, cities, etc.

All kinds of information."

"Next step, are we going to attack the Luodian Ghost Kingdom?" Yang Wanfu said excitedly. "But the big ghost master of the Luodian Ghost Kingdom is not as easy to deal with as our Jisi Prefecture, and the big ghost master is also the imperial court.

It’s an imperial seal!”

Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "When my elder brother launched troops against Li Xu, do you know what the excuse was? It was Party Xiang Fan's soldiers who clashed with Li Xu's army. What does it have to do with me?"

Yang Wanfu laughed loudly: "In other words, when we have a conflict with the Luodian Ghost Kingdom, it will just be a certain Jizhou Prefecture that has trouble with them, and naturally it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes! When we defeat him, the big guys in the court will only be happy to see the success." Xiao Cheng chuckled and said, "Look at the military state of Tianwu Army, which is composed of four Jisi states. At that time

As soon as we submitted the report, didn’t the court happily approve it immediately?”

"Those big guys in the imperial court want to eat meat, but they don't want to raise pigs!" Yang Wanfu said dissatisfiedly. "They just know what's available."
