There are some plum blossoms blooming in the corner of the Kinmenwu courtyard.

The group of three sat in the courtyard. The warm sun in early spring fell on them, but it was not that cold.

Less came to the bedroom and looked for utensils to cook tea.

The fort was first established, and there were not even servants and maids, so I could only do it myself.

But there was a faint smile on Le's face, as if her husband's friend was visiting and she came to entertain her as the hostess.

The bedroom was quite crude, and it was the first time she entered. She searched and staggered when she was tripped.

Less was startled and gently picked up the brick and prepared to put it back in place.

Suddenly, her hand stopped because the back of the brick was engraved with big words "Le".

She made a reservation for a long time, put the tiles back as if nothing had happened, and then found the tea pot, tea set, and went to make tea.

In the courtyard, Shao Xun talked happily: "The King of Dongyan led many people from Bingzhou to travel east, and Hebei will definitely be in chaos."

Lu Zhi refused to comment.

The people of Bingzhou brought by Wang Teng of Dongyan seemed to be refugees, but they were not.

This group of people is organized, and most of them are young and strong. There are even many Bingzhou generals, such as the state generals Tian Zhen, Tian Lan, Ren Zhi, Qi Ji, Li Yun, Bo Sheng, etc., who obey the government's command and are called "Qihuo Army".

It is wrong to say that they are refugee soldiers.

Because the orthodox refugee army will be suppressed by the official army, the beggar army will not only not be suppressed, but the government will also provide money, food and weapons funding.

To put it bluntly, the former Bingzhou Governor took them to Hebei to beg for dinner.

Seeing that Lu Zhi didn't say anything, Shao Xun was too lazy to say more, so he just pointed out a little and said, "The King of Chengdu is not an infinite squandering in Yuze, Hebei."

When Lu Zhi heard him say this, he shook his head.

"If this cannot be done, can you help?" Shao Xun asked.

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhi asked.

"The prefect of Ji County, Duke Yu, holds 10,000 strong soldiers." Shao Xun said: "He is in the boundary of Sizhou and has nothing to do with Hebei. If all the generals do not enter the boundary of Ji County, Duke Yu will naturally have no interest in going out to sweep the enemy."

Lu Zhi thought for a long time and finally nodded.

For the Hebei "rebels" most feared is to be attacked from both sides. If Ji County is in the direction of Ji County and their well water, it is naturally the best. Moreover, Ji County was defeated last year, but it was not captured. On the contrary, Yangping and other counties conquered.

The reason is also known. Yu Chen, the prefect of Ji County, was cautious and did not use the local gentry or powerful soldiers in a hasty manner. Instead, he used the backbone of the thousand kingdom troops he brought over to recruit brave and strong people to defend the city. Although he was embarrassed, he finally defended it.

Now a year has passed, Yu Chen has slowly opened up the situation in the local area. Some gentry and powerful people have contributed money and food, allowing Yu Chen to raise three thousand soldiers. This county is indeed not easy to fight, so there is no need to force it.

Yu Liang heard about his father talking about him and immediately wanted to speak.

Shao Xun patted his hand and signaled to Jing Jing.

Yu Liang was indeed quiet.

Lu Zhi looked at it silently, thinking that although Shao Xun was not accepted by the scholars of Yuefu, he has not been in vain in recent years. At least he has obtained the kindness of the Mi, Yu and Xu families, and has prestige among their younger generations. It is not easy.

"If you can't stay in Hebei, you can come to Liang County to find me." Shao Xun said again.

When Lu Zhi heard this, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't come before I'm at the end of my life. Besides, they may not listen to what I say, so they can only do their best."

Shao Xun nodded, just as he expected.

He just showed his face now, but do others really know how much wealth he has? This is not necessarily the case. Even Yu Liang and Mi Huang don’t know how many military and civilians he controls.

"What are the plans for Mr. Lu in the future?" Shao Xun asked.

Lu Zhi looked at him with a smile and said, "Maybe he will go to the Taifu to find a job."

"The Grand Tutor's shogunate has complicated affairs and no relatives and friends, so it's not interesting to go there." Shao Xun glanced at him and said, "It's better to find a prefect, Xiangcheng and Shunyang."

When Sima Ying was most powerful, Lu Zhi was the third-rank Zhongshu Supervisor, and he was in power. He turned to serve as the prefect, but who made him "make a mistake" and was the one who was cleansed?

Lu Zhi did not answer positively, but asked, "Can you see the two armies of silver spear and long sword under General Xiang Wen?"

"Mr. Lu came today for a coincidence." Shao Xun smiled and said, "The Changjian Army is not here, but most of the Silver Spear Army gathers here. Let's go and take a look at the foot of the mountain."

After saying that, he called Tang Jian and asked him to inform the owners of the squad.

After the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Silver Spear Army ushered in a new round of expansion.

The original 392 officers and soldiers of the fourth building were expanded into the fourth and fifth building, with a total of 1,200 people.

The fewer than 400 strokes were mostly two-year soldiers, and a few were one-year soldiers. After the expansion, the two buildings were mainly new soldiers, and only one-third of the veterans accounted for.

Among the more than 1,800 soldiers in one to three buildings, two-thirds of the soldiers accounted for one year, more than 20% of the soldiers accounted for two years, and less than 10% of the soldiers in three or four years.

The first building participated in the battle to massacre the Xianbei, and suffered some damage. After replenishing the vacancies, the overall combat effectiveness should be the strongest among the five buildings.

Overall, the first building has the strongest combat power, followed by the second and third buildings, followed by the fourth and fifth buildings.

The sixth building will be formed this year, probably between March and April.

Among the first batch of Donghai scholars, more than ten were over fifteen years old, while among the second batch of Luoyang, more than twenty were over fifteen years old, and they had been studying for almost three years. Among the third batch of Taiyuan, a group of people would have studied for two years by April, and they would have been at the right age.

Together, these people can almost form a full building of 600 people according to the old structure.

The old rule is to recruit a newcomer on a blank sheet of paper. Student soldiers start from the squad leader, the leader, and the leader, and train their abilities. When the army is expanded one to two years later, they will be upgraded to control more troops for themselves.

When he returned to Luoyang at the end of last year, Shao Xun also brought back a group of Chang'an people, mainly women and teenagers.

The Xianbei killed more than 10,000 people in Chang'an, and many young people became orphans.

Many women have lost their relatives, although they have survived by chance.

These people volunteered to come to Luoyang with Shao Xun and settled them one after another. The big-headed soldiers of the Silver Spear Army were really interested in these women who had suffered misfortune. They thought they were much better-looking than the women in the Zhuanghu family, so they were very popular, and many couples had already gotten married.

Damn, everyone is a thief.

A total of 168 Chang'an teenagers were assigned to the fifth class student soldiers and received formal education this year.

The first phase of the East China Sea, the second phase of the Luoyang phase, the third phase of the Taiyuan phase, the fourth phase of the Liangguo phase, and the fifth phase of the Chang'an phase, have basically formed a complete echelon construction.

The number of people is also relatively large. Shao Xun has no longer participated in specific teaching, but only formulates plans and participates in management.

There are special people in literature and monastery, and martial arts hirings are hired.

Shao Xun's role is more like the principal and the director of teaching, and is also responsible for solving students' life problems.

The student soldiers who are constantly creating a lot of knowledge and are a beginner in martial arts, start from the lower-level officers, learn slowly, and make progress, which has a bit of an industrial assembly line.

There is no doubt that the growth and growth of the Silver Spear Army is a long process. At this stage, Shao Xun mainly relies on ready-made teams such as the Imperial Guard and the Long Sword Army to conquer the world, but he believes that one day the Silver Spear Army will take on the throne and become his core force.

That time node may be at the most chaotic time in the world.

When Leshi came to the courtyard with the cooked tea, Shao, Lu and Yu had already left.

At this time, neat footsteps were heard at the foot of the mountain.

She quickly put down the tea, rushed into the bedroom, took off a wooden board on the wall, and looked down through the diamond-shaped window.

A total of three thousand soldiers were walking in a row, lined up in an open space.

They were wearing iron armor, with bow tips, arrow pouches, ring-headed swords and small round shields tied to their arms.

After a while, the slightly messy formation was arranged.

Less lay down at the window, looked around and finally found the man.

He was wearing a big red robe, wearing golden armor, holding the horse's reins with his left hand and holding the right hand high.

Whenever I go, someone immediately takes the lead in shouting.

The sound of "Wansheng" comes one after another, never stopping, which makes the birds and beasts on the mountain feel a little turbulent, and the cars and horses on the post road in the distance subconsciously speed up their pace.

After looking at it for a long time, Leshi quietly sealed the wooden board, then stood on a somewhat loose floor tiles in the bedroom, stomping her shoes and stomping with a smile on her lips.

Lu Zhi at the foot of the mountain was a little surprised.

Yu Liang even opened his mouth wide, as if he was in a state of loss of consciousness.

Three Thousand Armors?!

After experiencing the wars over the past few years, he was not ignorant of the military. At least, he knew that everyone did not need to wear iron armor in a military formation. Many times, as long as the rows of people in the front were barely able to go into battle.

Three thousand armored soldiers wearing iron armor are equipped with ten thousand light armor and no armor. If they are pulled out, they will be more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, which is quite regular.

No wonder, no wonder...

He suddenly felt a little envious. He leaned against the Luoyang court and was a general of the imperial guards. He started his career very quickly.

However, he also knew that it was quite difficult for the young man to go along the way, and he had five or six scars on his body.

These family businesses are all fought for by life.

This world is becoming more and more friendly to those who are willing to fight for their lives.

If aristocratic families still want to rely on family accumulation to fight with them, they may not be able to fight.

How much grain and wealth aristocratic families produce each year is basically constant.

But these warriors are different. Sometimes they suddenly get rich overnight, such as robbing Xuchang martial arts warehouses and then pulling up a scary number of soldiers.

"General Shao, you..." Lu Zhi was stunned for a long time, suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Even in Hebei, he can be named. Before the defeat of Gongshifan, he did not have this family background."
