After taking over the military administration, Liu Qian sent more than 200 spearmen with golden shields and iron armor to patrol the mansions of Liu Yi and others to monitor the whereabouts of his family members; With the help of Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei, he built a recruiting hall, and gradually recruited more than 40 brave men, all of whom were trained in the army led by Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei. After the conscription was completed, they were included in the unified training; Guan Yu and Zhao Yun led Chen Qiang and other ten Yan cavalry distributed all over the county to recruit troops.All work carried out in an orderly manner.The only flaw is that it has been a long time since any famous counselor has emerged.

Gradually entering the end of summer, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun led more than [-] newly recruited soldiers back to Xiangping City, and divided them into several areas outside the city according to different sources of troops.

Liu Qian in the government office held a small stick about one foot long and pointed at a modern warfare sand table in the inner hall, talking softly with Zhang Lan from time to time.This sand table was made by Liu Qian ordered his subordinates to gather maps of the local area and Xianbei territory, and pile up sand, branches and other items.The two were pointing and discussing from time to time.

"Report! My lord, the two generals of Guan and Zhao have returned from recruiting troops!" Suddenly, someone came to report.

"Okay! Okay! Let's go, Lan'er will follow me to the front yard to meet our heroes!" Liu Qian was very happy after hearing that.Putting the short stick in his hand on the edge of the sand table, Liu Qian grabbed Zhang Lan's little hand and walked to the front yard.Zhang Lan struggled for a while, but Liu Qian, a big rascal, was very tight, so she had to give up.

In the front hall, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun stood on both sides of the main hall. When they saw Liu Qian and Zhang Lan coming in, they went up to pay homage: "Brother, Yu (Yun) is lucky to live up to his fate! A total of 340 recruits have been recruited this time."

"Okay! This time, the two virtuous brothers have recruited so many soldiers for XX. I am very fortunate! Second brother, please tell me the details of this recruitment!" Liu Qian heard the short two or three Yue was able to recruit more than [-] soldiers, and the smile on his face became brighter, and he motioned for the three to sit down.

After Guan Yu sat down, fascinated by Danfeng's eyes, he continued to talk unhurriedly: "8000 families have no one to rely on and come to join the army for three meals; more than 15 people from the northern border area have two or more brothers. Everyone came to join the army because the elderly and children in the family were killed by the Xianbei people; the rest had many sons in the family and were ordered to join the army. This time, they went to recruit soldiers and collected [-] guan of military service silver from the gentry, and [-] million shi of grain and grass. Today's recruits and Money and food are camped outside the city."

"Very good! Eight thousand recruits who came to join the army in order to get three meals a day will be trained by the second brother himself. This is the training array; five thousand recruits from the northern border area will be trained by the seventh brother. This is the training array." Liu Qian said. , took out two brocade cloths from his bosom.It seems that Liu Qian has already prepared a training plan for recruits, and he will use it when Guan Yu returns from conscription.

Seeing that the two put the formation map into their arms, Liu Qian stood up, paced back and forth, and said slowly: "Yun Chang, Zilong! You must be careful, these two formation maps are only allowed between the seven of us brothers." Please don't pass it on to others. The formation map in Yunchang's hand, I ordered it to be the three-armed Jiugong formation. The magic of its use lies in the integration of offense and defense. These soldiers will be our future ace infantry. You must follow this formation Try to intensify your training; Zilong, the formation map in your hand is the method of cavalry training and the formation of cavalry charging to kill the enemy. It emphasizes the bravery of cavalry charging, and this cavalry is also our ace cavalry that gallops the world, so you should pay more attention to it." After finishing speaking, he patted Guan Yu and Zhao Yun on the shoulders, walked to their seats and said to himself: "Unfortunately, there are not enough irons and horses now. If we can have enough irons and horses, we can go as soon as possible." Train two strong soldiers that are invincible vertically and horizontally."

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun also bowed their heads in silence after listening.

When everyone was worrying about the iron and the horses, they heard a "report! Your Excellency, there are some foreign merchants with several carts of goods, driving thousands of horses, and they say they want to see you."

"It's really in the snow that someone came to deliver charcoal. It's raining and there will be shade. Okay, Laner, you go back to the backyard first. The second and seventh brothers will come with me to meet our distinguished guests."

It turned out that the merchant came to donate because he heard that the prefect was preparing for the Eastern Xianbei War.After all, it has been very difficult for merchants to do business here in recent years due to Xianbei oppression.Goodbye to the promulgation of the Taishoufu's trade order, and the merchants will repay it after discussion.With these irons and horses, Liu Qian immediately arranged to make armor and horse protective gear, preparing for military training.The remaining soldiers were all assigned to the three of Xu Chu, and at the same time, dozens of warriors from the recruitment hall were transferred to Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to lead the team for training.
