Yes, such soldiers are likely to be the core of his army in the future, and he must capture them first.

Moreover, he was also hesitating about what kind of army to build.

It was definitely not what he had in mind to recruit a bunch of old and weak people to make up the numbers, especially now that food was still so tight, he had to be even more cautious.

During a war, five weak soldiers are not as useful as one elite soldier, but the consumption of five weak soldiers is much greater than the consumption of one elite soldier. The elite soldier route is theoretically more in line with the current food supply level.

Moreover, Li Ping also sent out troops to pull troops, which was considered a head start, so he could wait.

So on the next day, Li Ping still took the remaining officers and soldiers to rest and build barracks. At the same time, he also planned to use a short period of time every day to conduct some simple training for the remaining people to increase his control over the troops.

Zhao Jin did not hesitate any longer. He led most of his troops towards the vast countryside of Xiangyang even faster than Shi Ming. Li Ping could only stay and take charge. He needed to replace Zhao Jin to take over the duties of his superiors.

New orders and requirements.

After all, they are already organized and cannot just disappear.

Another day, when Li Ping was leading everyone to continue working, the silly big man Liu San suddenly ran back from outside in a panic and was anxious to see Li Ping.

After he took a breath, Li Ping understood from his broken words that the stupid man wanted Li Ping to help him.

It turned out that Li Ping told Liu San to go to the blacksmith and his son today to see if they could make some spearheads. But when he went there, he found that a large group of officers and soldiers had blocked the entire street there, and everything was in chaos.

Liu San asked a soldier on the outskirts and found out that someone had reported that several households here were spies for the bandit army and that they were catching thieves.

But the scene inside didn't look like catching a thief, but more like looting. Liu San clearly saw that the officers and soldiers were breaking down doors from house to house along the street, not sparing any one, and looting the inside. Some people were even beaten.

Pull them out and kill them randomly in the street.

Liu San became anxious at that time, so he ran all the way back to Li Ping for help to see if he could save some of his acquaintances.

But Li Ping had a dark look on his face.

Xiangyang is not an ordinary small county town, but a prefecture and famous city with many nobles, and the local officials here are by no means vegetarians.

But that group of officers and soldiers still dared to block the street blatantly and commit crimes openly. It is very likely that they had a great background and got the acquiescence of the local officials, otherwise they would not have had such courage.

But what is Li Ping?

He is said to be the commander-in-chief, but in terms of military strength, he can only be regarded as a sentinel commander at best, a small person who is not even in the mainstream or even on the stage. He simply does not have the capital to go into this troubled waters.

Isn't it a joke to ask him for help?

Stone is a unit of volume, not weight. Stones in different dynasties also vary greatly. In the Ming Dynasty, one stone meter weighed about 153.5 kilograms, which is about 183 kilograms today. The kilogram in the Ming Dynasty was not the current 500 grams per kilogram, but 594.6 grams in the Ming Dynasty. One pound.
