This is a brand new army, an army without any sophistication or pollution.
All the training of this army is conducted by Liu Cheng's personal guards and is done in strict accordance with his requirements.
The commanders, commanders, and even team officers in this army were all selected from among the soldiers.
Only those with more than a hundred generals were appointed by Liu Cheng's personal guards, so there were no veterans in this army.
An army without veterans has both disadvantages and advantages.
The disadvantage lies in lack of experience and unstable military morale.
After all, almost everyone has never seen blood or experienced war, and can easily collapse in large-scale operations.
The advantage is that as long as military law and military discipline are strict, military orders will not be compromised among soldiers.
There is no impeccable execution and there is no unhealthy trend in the army.
This is the cleanest army.
Once its combat effectiveness is unleashed, it will be frightening.
The team finally arrived at the gate of the city.
Zhu Jianping and Shi Tao reined in their horses and stopped.
They immediately jumped off their horses and walked quickly to Liu Cheng.
They bowed their hands and said: "I am late to pay my respects to my lord.
Please let your lord and all of you know."
Sir, you have been waiting for a long time.”
Liu Cheng stepped forward, stretched out his hands to help them up, and said with a smile: "It's not too late, it came very quickly, and the journey was smooth."
Zhu Jianping held up his hands and smiled: "The journey was smooth, but it took some time to cross the Huguan Yangchang Trail."
Liu Cheng nodded and said: "Okay, you two must be very tired after a long journey.
Please follow my general in the carriage into the city.
The troops and horses will be handed over to Wang Shuang, Zhang Liao and others to take them to the camp to rest."
"Nuo" agreed, and immediately ordered the army to follow Wang Shuang and Zhang Liao to the camp to rest, and the group returned to the city in a mighty manner.
On the carriage, the curtain was lowered, Liu Cheng sat in the innermost position, Zhu Jianping sat on the left, and Shi Tao sat on the right.
Shi Tao cupped his hands and said to Liu Cheng: "When the Lord set off from Linli, he told him to find a way to take Yang Feng away."
The property seized by the bandits was transported to Guanzhong and handed over to Xu Rong and Zhao Yun for burial.
The subordinates discussed this matter with Mr.
Zhu and believed that this would be unfair in the world.
If Hongnong, After passing Tongguan, Dong Zhuo's territory was all along the way.
If it were checked, it would be easily exposed; and sending people to escort them away in batches would be time-consuming and laborious, so the two of us took it upon ourselves to take this batch of property with the army.
Anyway, there were many soldiers, so this batch of property It cannot be seen if it is mixed with food, grass and ordnance.
As long as the military discipline is strict and the news is not leaked, this batch of property is still in the army."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "You are not unreasonable in your considerations.
It is indeed easy for the news to be escorted in batches.
Well, you don't need to worry about this matter.
I will find a way to deal with it."
The two of them cupped their hands and said, "No."
Liu Cheng asked again: "How many people are there in this batch of soldiers and horses so far?
How is the training progress?"
Zhu Jianping raised his hands and said: "A total of more than 13,000 people were recruited from Hanoi County, and more than 7,000 people were recruited from Shangdang County, totaling 21,000 people.
According to the requirements of the lord, the training of this army and horses must be stable.
Playing it slow, you can't rush for success, so the progress of the training will be slower.
Slightly slower, the soldiers and horses of Hanoi County have been practicing for a little longer, but they have just passed the formation phase, walking in step, and running training.
They have now entered the weapons training period, and the division of arms has been completed; soldiers with party status have Just passed the formation queue period” After hearing this, Liu Cheng was quite satisfied and said: "During this period of fighting with the Baibo Army, while we were attacking Guo Da, we sent people to recruit more than 10,000 people in various places in Hedong, Shangjun, and Xihejun.
We have just entered the training period. .next Shi Tao is still in charge of the logistics and baggage affairs of the entire army.

Regarding the training of new recruits, I plan to let Zhang Liao and Mr.
Zhu jointly take charge of it.
Zhang Liao will take charge of the specific matters of recruit training, and Mr.
Zhu will assist and be responsible for the logistics and baggage of these tens of thousands of recruits."
Zhu Jianping asked: "Isn't Shi Tao responsible for the logistics?"
"The new recruits will be separated from the Northern Army, and the logistics will be arranged separately.
We originally planned to transfer these tens of thousands of new recruits to Guanzhong for training.
On the one hand, it will be far away from Luoyang, which can reassure Dong Zhuo.
On the other hand, it will be far away from Luoyang because of the high confidentiality.
We can defeat Guo The large Baibo army also seized a large amount of property and food from them.
My general decided to let these tens of thousands of new soldiers take these two batches of property with them when they go to Guanzhong.
Sooner or later, the news will leak out when this large amount of property is transported to Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo is short of money now.
If he knows, he will definitely bite me.
I won’t let him go, so for the sake of safety, it’s better to transport this batch of property to Guanzhong.”
Zhu Jianping cupped his hands and said: "My lord has thought carefully, and my subordinates obeyed my lord's arrangement and went to Guanzhong with Zhang Liao.
It's just Zhang Liao, do you trust him?
After all, he has just joined the lord's command not long ago, and at a young age, he has already taken on the responsibility of tens of thousands of troops."
Regarding training matters, this burden is not light.”
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Isn't it you?
You know how to read people.
What do you think of Zhang Liao?"
"My subordinates took a look at him and found that this person will not live long and will die of illness at the age of fifty-three, but his loyalty should be no problem.
There are not many generals in the world who have greater military achievements than him."
Liu Cheng recalled Zhang Liao in his previous life.
He spent almost all his life in war.
When he followed Lu Bu, he lived in extreme embarrassment, running around in danger.
However, since he followed Cao Cao, he has rarely lost any battles, and his military performance has been highly praised by all generations.
It can be seen that Zhang Liao himself has great military talents, but he just needs a platform to display them.
Lu Bu cannot give him this platform, because Lu Bu does not allow his subordinates to surpass him in military affairs, while Cao Cao is much broader-minded and the more he treats his subordinates.
The more talented he is, the more he likes him and is willing to give his subordinates a stage to perform.
This is the difference between Cao Cao and Lu Bu.
Liu Cheng understood a truth from this incident.
A person has to find his own position.
There are different issues to consider when being a lord and a general.
Thinking of this, Liu Cheng smiled at Zhu Jianping and said, "This general is very optimistic about Zhang Liao.
He is a talented person and very loyal.
Why don't I, the general, reuse such a person?"
At the Prefecture, Liu Cheng hosted a banquet for Zhu Jianping and Shi Tao, accompanied by other generals and school officials, and the banquet lasted until dark.
Two days later, Zhang Liao and Zhu Jianping, under Liu Cheng's order, led 32,000 new soldiers to Guanzhong carrying a large amount of grain, grass and countless belongings.
They crossed the Yellow River at the ferry and bypassed Tongguan.
Zhao Yun led troops to meet them, both Niu Fu and Guo Dadu did not dare to act rashly.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Liu Cheng was watching the craftsmen making crossbows and arrowheads in the weapons workshop.
Wang Yue hurried over to report: "My lord, something big has happened."
Liu Cheng turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Yue walked over and whispered something in his ear.
Liu Cheng's expression changed and he immediately said: "Let's go, someone is coming back to the mansion and tell all the generals and school officials to come to the mansion to discuss matters."
The group hurried back to the Temporary General's Mansion.
The Taishou's Mansion had been handed over to Du Ji to handle government affairs.
Liu Cheng was now handling official business at the Temporary General's Mansion, and convening officials and generals for discussions was also in the General's Mansion, which was not far from the Taishou's Mansion.
Officials from various generals and schools arrived very quickly.
When everyone arrived, Liu Chengcheng said: "After Cao Cao, the former commander of the Xiaoqiu School, failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he fled the capital.
When he returned home, he dispersed his family wealth, and with the help of the wealthy Weizi, he recruited troops and horses in Chenliu.
Trained the soldiers, wrote a petition against Dong Zhuo and spread it throughout the world, calling on the world to unite to attack Dong Zhuo.
All states and counties in the world received the petition against Dong Zhuo and responded one after another.
Everyone, the princes of Guandong have rebelled."
"ah" Although many people speculated that Dong Zhuo would force the Guandong princes to rebel sooner or later if he continued to act like this, everyone was still shocked when they actually heard the news.
"I knew something would happen sooner or later, and sure enough, I'm in trouble now."
"Yes, the princes of Guandong are all powerful.
If they unite, how can the imperial court stop them if they don't have millions of troops?"
"Hey, hey, the princes of Guandong are attacking Dong Zhuo, not the imperial court.
What does the imperial court have to do with it?"
"Why does it have nothing to do with the imperial court?
Dong Zhuo has the final say in the imperial court now.
The princes of Guandong are attacking Dong Zhuo.
In fact, they are trying to rebel against the imperial court.
Don't you understand this?"
There was a commotion in the hall, and everyone was talking and talking about their own opinions.
Liu Cheng pressed his hand: "Okay, everyone, the princes of Guandong have rebelled.
What should I do, general?"
The officials and generals in the hall fell silent and began to think individually.
Shi Tao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Tao thinks that my lord should wait and see what happens now."
Liu Cheng was surprised and asked: "Why?"
"My lord is leading the army to attack the Baibo bandit army this time.
The bandit army is still strong and our mission has not been completed.
Besides, the lord cannot return to Beijing without permission from the court."
Xu Shu said at this time: "My lord, I thought it was just an expedient to wait and see what happens.
My lord is different from other princes.
Those princes have the support of aristocratic families and have deep foundations, but my lord does not.
My lord's power comes from the emperor.
If something happens to the emperor, , the lord's position will be embarrassing.
If Dong Zhuo tries to abolish the establishment again, , and then issued an order to relieve the lord's military power in the name of the new king, how should the lord rebel or obey the order?
If he surrendered the military power according to the order, his life would be in Dong Zhuo's hands; if he rebelled, the lord's reputation would be ruined, and Guandong The princes' rebellion was only against Dong Zhuo, not against the emperor on the surface, but the rebellion of the lord was against the emperor."
These words made the officials and generals start talking in low voices again.
"Yes, the princes of Guandong first said that they were against Dong Zhuo.
Although they were actually against the emperor, they did not say so on the surface.
Politically, they took the initiative.
And if Dong Zhuo issued an order to deal with the lord in the name of the emperor, , the lord becomes passive, so nothing can happen to the emperor."
Liu Cheng stood up, walked around behind the desk with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Jia Xu, what do you think?"
Jia Xu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I think Xu Yuanzhi's words are reasonable.

We cannot be passive politically.
However, we cannot take the initiative to return to Luoyang, as this will leave Dong Zhuo with an excuse.
The princes of Guandong raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo.
The troops in Dong Zhuo's hands may be difficult to cope with, and he will definitely not forget his lord.
The lord can rest assured to train his troops here, thinking that sooner or later Dong Zhuo will ask the lord to lead the troops back to Beijing in the name of the court to discuss how to jointly deal with Guandong.
