Xiyuan Army Base,

Zuo Army Training Ground.

Su Yan stood on the martial arts stage, looking at the soldiers standing solemnly below, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

It has been about a month since he took over the Zuo Army.

In the past month, he would take Dian Wei to the barracks every day to supervise the soldiers' training.

According to the training methods of the army in the previous life, soldiers who can receive these trainings are gradually selected from standing at attention and marching.

This training method is very special. In ancient times, no one could see its effect.

As the commander of these soldiers, Xu Huang did not understand the meaning.

But since this is Su Yan's order, he naturally has to execute it.

Every day Su Yan will lead them to do this until they are thoroughly familiar with these daily trainings. After persisting for a month, these soldiers began to change slightly.

Their overall mental state has improved, and they have a deep understanding of the importance of military regulations. They completely obey the general's orders and do not do anything to disobey orders........

Through a series of training reforms, the combat effectiveness of this left army has increased rapidly, far surpassing the armies of other parts of Xiyuan.

Chunyu Qiong, a lieutenant of the friendly army, was more interested in their training, but after a little understanding, he said that he could not do it, so he had to give up.

Every half a month, Su Yan would reimburse Jian Shuo for military expenses.

Because the amount of training increased, the soldiers' food and salaries increased significantly, and there were other military supplies. Su Yan needed to report this money to the higher authorities, and then the higher authorities would allocate funds.

The establishment of the Xiyuan Army was to curb He Jin's military power, so Emperor Ling of Han valued them very much.

When he ordered Jian Shuo to form this army, he did not express a clear limit on the specific number of troops.

Recruit as many people as you can, the more the better.

This was the hint from the Han Emperor to Jian Shuo.

Not only in terms of number, but also all the expenses of forming an army were given a green light and reimbursed by the national treasury.

After selling officials for so many years, although Emperor Ling spent lavishly, he still kept some family assets.

This money was the source of his income for forming and maintaining the Xiyuan Army.

The amount was quite large, almost a mountain of gold.

But the Han emperor spent it without blinking an eye.

In order to protect Prince Xie and let him succeed to the throne smoothly, everything was worth it.

But he didn't know that most of the Xiyuan Army had already been bribed by He Jin, except Jian Shuo and Bao Hong.

Every time Su Yan reported so many expenses, it would be a lie for the generals of other departments to say that they didn't question it.

When they complained to Jian Shuo, Jian Shuo said,"If you think it's unfair, then you can go and see the results of others and you will know."

After hearing this, the generals went to the station of the left army to observe, and then saw a scene that shocked them.

The neat and uniform formations, the heavy and solemn momentum, the full mental state, and the inhuman training volume.

The elite level of the left army was far beyond their imagination.

They asked themselves that they usually trained their soldiers in a perfunctory manner, and they were almost good enough, and they had never trained so hard.

Even the Dianjun Department under Cao Cao was usually the most elite of the few.

But when compared with the Left Army, the difference is like heaven and earth, and they are simply incomparable.

Even if there is no battle, they all know that the Left Army must be the winner in the end.

Seeing this, they also know why Jian Shuo approved so much military supply expenses for Su Yan.

The soldiers under his command are better than theirs, and they are not afraid of hardships and are willing to work hard, so they should enjoy higher treatment.

Jian Shuo is loyal to the Han Emperor, and the Xiyuan Army is also trained for the Han Emperor.

Jian Shuo is also very excited that Su Yan has trained them to be so elite.

He told the Han Emperor about this, and the Han Emperor was very happy. He waved his hand and asked Jian Shuo to fully support Su Yan.

This is why all of Su Yan's military supply applications were approved. After seeing this, the generals stopped making a fuss and returned to their respective departments to train their troops well.

""Everyone, charge!"

Xu Huang ordered loudly.

""Da! Da!"

There were waves of horse hooves, and the cavalrymen rushed out one by one, rushing into the group of straw men in front of them. Pa, pa, pa!

With a burst of swift and fierce slashing, each cavalryman could accurately slash the straw man, then turn the horse's head and return to the original place at the fastest speed.

It took an hour for the 1,000 cavalrymen to complete a wave of martial arts training.

Su Yan nodded, this efficiency was acceptable

"Next up are the archers!"

Su Yan looked to the other side and saw that with Xu Huang's order, five hundred archers were in position.

In groups of fifty, they collectively shot at the target a hundred steps away.

""Shoot!"

Countless sharp arrows shot towards the target in the distance, making a sharp sound of impact, and hit the target.

After shooting, Xu Huang ordered people to count the results. Only a few people shot off the direction due to the wind direction, and the others all hit the target.

Su Yan's face was full of excitement.

He trained them according to the way Taishi Ci had told him to train archers. Naturally, he was very happy to achieve such results.

When the Han Emperor learned that he had a good way of training soldiers, he specially asked Jian Shuo to increase his troops.

So Jian Shuo gave him another thousand. cavalry, five hundred archers, and five hundred swordsmen.

With the additional two thousand spearmen, there are a total of four thousand people.

This number is not small compared to the other departments.

Cao Cao's Dianjun Department and Yuan Shao's Zhongjun Department only have this many people.

Only the Shangjun Department led by Jian Shuo himself has seven thousand people, and the others are less than him.

Su Yan used the benefits he applied for to continuously train these four thousand people and make them loyal to him.

This is his real power in Luoyang.

Although he also controls the Yulin Army, it is the royal guards.���They all accepted the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and were only loyal to the emperor.

If Su Yan were to do something treasonous, I'm afraid those people would easily mutiny.

So although he also controlled the Yulin Army, his real focus was still on the Left Army.

"" Everyone, disband!"

Xu Huang said loudly, and the soldiers left the parade ground in an orderly manner and returned to their respective barracks and dormitories.

He came in front of Su Yan, clasped his fists and said,"General!"

"Well, Gongming, you did a great job, I am very satisfied."

Su Yan nodded. Xu Huang smiled and said:"Everything depends on the general's teachings. If the general had not led by example and encouraged the soldiers to train hard, I am afraid that the training would not necessarily be so successful."

Su Yan smiled and said:"Okay, don't flatter me, don't I know your character?"

Xu Huang smiled awkwardly and scratched his head after hearing this.

"By the way, I recently got a good horse, but it’s useless, so I’ll give it to you. You can go to Ma Peng to claim it later."

Su Yan changed the subject and continued.
