As the most elite central army unit of the Han Dynasty, the Tiger Infantry Army has always been highly valued by Prime Minister Zhuge. After three years of rest and recuperation, the Tiger Infantry Army's troops have now increased from thousands in the first year of Jianxing to more than 20,000.

Currently, the total number of Han army troops in Chengdu is no less than 40,000, including the Tiger Infantry Army, the General of the Thunder, and Wuqian. The Tiger Infantry Army, which is full of infantry, is most valued by Zhuge Liang. The soldiers are all from innocent families, and the training rules are the eight formation maps he created.

Zhuge Liang had high hopes for the Tiger Infantry Army. They were the main force to fight against the cavalry in the North Plain in the future. Therefore, the generals he selected were either experienced generals like Zhao Yun or famous generals like Guan Xing who were both wise and brave.

Now more than 20,000 people in the Tiger Infantry Army are divided into three battalions, middle, left and right, each battalion has seven or eight thousand troops. The selected soldiers are not only strong, but also many of them can also read and write, which can be described as a temporary elite.

Since Yang Qing implemented the two systems of literacy and martial arts lectures among the soldiers of Yueshi County to achieve extraordinary results, Zhuge Liang has gradually implemented the literacy and martial arts lectures throughout the army. He originally advocated the training methods of military governance and martial arts. When he saw Yang Qing's methods, he learned from other ways. After additions and repairs, the training methods became more and more mature.

At this moment, in the central army camp outside Chengdu city, golden drums sounded and shouted loudly. Twenty thousand tigers and infantry were gathering from four directions to the school ground, and then arranged eight major formations according to the sky, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes. The first four are the regular formations, the last four are the strange formations, and there is also a central army formation in the formation.

On the high platform, Zhuge Liang, Yang Qing, Ma Su and others nodded uncontrollably and were very satisfied with the speed of the army's agglomeration.

It is not easy to assemble the ordinary army quickly and in an orderly manner. In history, the elite central army of Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan was still in chaos one day. Fortunately, those who were skilled in Zhuge Liang's formation took action to organize the team before they successfully assembled. It can be seen that the requirements of commanding a tens of thousands of troops for generals are not ordinary.

After a stick of incense, the commander of the Tiger Infantry Army, Guan Xing, urged the horse to come to the audience and reported: "Report to the Prime Minister, the Tiger Infantry Army has been assembled, please give the Prime Minister the order."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, then waved his feather fan: "Let's start."

"promise."

Today, Zhuge Liang led a group of important officials to the school to check the results of the eight formation map training. This inspection is also a routine. In order to verify and improve the formation, it will come every once in a while.

According to the exercise method, Guan Xing ordered the flag to be displayed, and first ordered the troops to set up a defensive formation, and then practiced the formations such as Tianqiu, Earthly Zai, and Feng Yang.

"What do Mingzhi thinks about the current Tiger Infantry Army?" Zhuge Liang asked, pointing to the sergeant in the school ground.

"Strict military discipline, skilled battle formations, excellent equipment, and well-trained. They are actually the most powerful army of our great man. They are just insufficiently tempered in the war and there is still some improvement." Yang Qing replied without hesitation.

The court discussion on his transfer to Hanzhong Prefecture has been passed, and the emperor's edict will be issued tomorrow, so he will leave Chengdu soon, so Zhuge Liang wanted to take this opportunity to review the army and give him some military affairs, so he invited him to come with him.

Yang Qing was naturally relieved by Zhuge Liang's method of training. During the first Northern Expedition in history, the Han army still lacked combat power because there were many new recruits. However, during the fourth and fifth Northern Expeditions, after the training of the previous three Northern Expeditions, the Han army's combat power had reached its peak.

The Han army defeated the majority with few defeats in the battles of Shangqiu and Lucheng, defeated Sima Yi with his footsteps, and killed Zhang He, showing a strong army style that looked down on the world. In these battles, the Tiger Infantry Army, as the main force of infantry, played a role as the mainstay.

Especially in the Wugongshui battle in the last Northern Expedition, thousands of Tiger and Infantry Army separated from the main force of the Han army on the west coast and became isolated due to the surge in martial arts water, and thus was besieged by tens of thousands of cavalry of the Wei army.

Faced with such a crisis, the Tiger Infantry Army did not hesitate to resist the charge of the Wei cavalry. Later, with the help of reinforcements, he successfully repelled the Wei army, achieving the tactical purpose of controlling the east coast of Wugongshui.

Therefore, when the Tiger Infantry Army formed an army, it aimed to become the first infantry army in the world. Now three years have passed, and it has been gaining actual combat in Nanzhong, which is enough to be the main force of the Northern Expedition.

Zhuge Liang naturally knew the disadvantages of the actual combat in the Tiger Infantry Army and smiled and said, "So we will use troops to fight in the Northern Expedition in the future."

We must be extremely cautious. We must not make arbitrage before the Han army's combat power reaches its peak. The Han Dynasty can no longer withstand the defeat like the Battle of Yiling."

"Mingzhi, I was young and always, you should take a closer look. The essence of the Eight Formation Diagram lies in the method of using troops to surround the formation and the system of the flag A and B.

In this way, the Tiger Infantry Army, from the head general, to the lieutenant, to Sima, and even to the lowest rank of sergeants, each had its own order flag. The soldiers could see what orders they had. Therefore, they used large formations to enclose small formations, large camps to enclose small camps, and confronted each other in a tortuous manner."

Yang Qing and Ma Su are now the most powerful military strategy in Zhuge Liang's mind in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Both of them have been taught their own military books by him, but the gains in the books are naturally not as good as those who have seen them with their own eyes. Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to guide the two.

Ma Su was fine. He had seen the Eight Formation Map practices by the soldiers many times, and because Yang Qing was not often in Chengdu, this was the first time he had seen the actual exercise of the Eight Formation Map.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, looking at the sergeant who changed formations from the audience, thinking about his understanding of learning military books, Yang Qing's understanding of the Eight Formation Diagram became deeper. He suddenly understood the parts he couldn't understand in the past, and a happy smile naturally appeared on his face.

When Zhuge Liang saw the expression on his face, he immediately realized that he would gain something. He nodded, thinking that his teaching would not be wasted.

On the stage, Zhao Yun, Gao Xiang and Wu Ban and other generals also heard Zhuge Liang's explanation, and they also had some understanding of the Eight Formation Map. Moreover, they were all long-time generals who had been fighting for many years. They probably thought more deeply about using the Eight Formation Map to fight the Wei soldiers than Yang Qing and Ma Su.

At this time, the formation of the army below the stage had changed to a complete state. The original eight formations had turned into sixty-four formations, and there were twenty-four small formations arranged in the rear to serve as mobile raiders.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! I saw that the eight formation diagram was unpredictable, and everyone was dazzled. The soldiers were running around and brought smoke and dust in the sky, the sword light shining, and the murderous intent was fierce. The formation was completed and they dared not invade.

At this time, the Tiger Infantry Training was completed, and the Ming Jin withdrew his troops. After the troops returned to the neat array, Guan Xing came to the front of the stage to report that today's exercise was completed.

Zhuge Liang loudly encouraged Guan Xing and the soldiers, and announced the decision to add wine and meat at noon as usual, which caused the army to cheer and morale to boost.

After the troops brought them back, Zhuge Liang brought the generals back to the tent to summarize today's drill. The generals expressed their ideas, and he adopted them one by one. The Eight Formation Diagram still has some improvements and improvements, and the wisdom of everyone still needs to be gathered.

On the second day, the edict to appoint Yang Qing as the prefect of Hanzhong was finally issued. After Yang Qing received the edict, he was kept by Liu Chan and encouraged him a few words. Of course, the emperor then pulled him back after he pulled him to play a Cuju game.

After receiving the edict, Yang Qingben wanted to set off north the next day, but Qin Mi suddenly passed away in the morning of the next day. He heard the bad news and was inexplicably sad and had to postpone his trip.

As an important official of Ji Han and a well-known scholar, Qin Mi's funeral was of great grandeur. All the officials, princes and princes came to pay their respects, and Zhuge Liang also went to Qin's mansion to pay his respects. After mourning and honoring, Qin Mi's spirit in the sky would be relieved.

For this old man who was kind to recommend him, Yang Qing held a disciple gift at the funeral and personally helped him with the coffin to deliver it to him for the last journey.

"Brother Bo Zheng asks to express his grief. If you are willing to come to Hanzhong in three years, you can come to Hanzhong to find me." After Qin Mi entered the country for peace, Yang Qing came to Qin Kuang and said.

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Qin Kuang naturally wanted to keep filial for three years after Qin Mi's death. Therefore, Yang Qing made him become an official in Hanzhong three years later, which was considered as a failure to let Qin Mi's entrusted before his death.

"Kuang thank you, Mr. Yang!" Qin Kuang bowed gratitude.
