Chapter 107 Want to govern the people, govern the army first

It was already mid-March, which was equivalent to the end of February of the later Gregorian calendar. Even if the climate of the Little Ice Age in this era was abnormal, farming was almost half a month later, and there were another forty-five days, we had to prepare for spring plowing. What Cao Cao wanted was a granary in Dongjun, not to maintain the status quo. For Wang Hou, time was tight and the task was heavy.

So, early the next morning, Wang Congge and Wang Hou stayed up late and kept their eyes red, and ran towards Xu Du quickly with their horses.

But when he accompanied Wang Hou to send Wang Congge out, Cao Hongjie's bright eyes were full of worries.

"Scrap, spring plowing is coming soon. Everywhere is rushing to use cattle. Five thousand official cows. Xiangfu's stingy guy may not be able to get rid of the grade for you. There are also farm tools, grain, money, etc. You are in Taicang. You know clearly that Xu Du has to spend money everywhere. Xiangfu probably can only give you one tenth, maybe even less!"

"I can even have a secret fun in one tenth!"

Listening to Cao Xiaoniu's analysis, Wang Hou himself smiled helplessly, and then he clapped his hands with great enthusiasm: "Not to talk about these, prepare to go out to work! Danzi, go and invite all the military officers of the clan who followed me north to the north!"

"Little one obeys the order!"

Now these few days are the weakest time in Puyang. Nowadays, everyone relies on clan forces. Liu Yan controls the troops of Dongjun, and also relies on the military officers and servants of the descendants of the King of Jibei. Once the emperor and the ministers of the local area, the same is true for him. When he leaves, he leaves, the captains of Puyang, four army Simas, and twenty-two military marquis were taken away by him. Wang Hou needs to quickly use the best military officers of the Wang clan and his personal soldiers whom he controls to fill these vacancy.

After all, just under Yan Liang's nose, if you want to govern the people, you must first govern the army! You will first accept the wealth left by Liu Yan. Under Wang Hou's order, eight thousand Puyang County soldiers were tortured by him in less than half an hour to the school ground in the north of the city and inspected by the leaders.

However, after taking Zhao Yun, Cao Hongjie, half of the officers, and seventeen Taiyuan Wang clans followed his military positions and personal soldiers to the schoolyard, Wang Hou had a headache again.

It is really a county and country soldier, and it can be called trash. Not to mention the old and young, the eight thousand people have not been well-arranged until now, and they are in chaos and become a big bun. By then, Wang Hou will still have people fighting for the position.

“It’s all quiet!”

Standing at the dot of the mound, Wang Hou shouted loudly, with some effect. He looked at him in the front two rows, but he didn't care about a few people, and then stood in a group and continued to fight behind him.

"Everyone is quiet, follow the orders of this mansion!"

His voice was about to burst, and his old face turned red. Wang Hou roared loudly again, but this time, the county soldiers below should still fight and grab the position.

Looking at the shocked and speechless eyes of the officers of Wang's family, Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help but twitch violently a few times, and then gently waved two fingers at Zhao Yun.

"Call me!"

Zhao Yun is far from being the Five Tiger General of Shu Han, and his mentality is very active. He is willing to do this job. With a wolf howl, his grain troupe followed him fiercely. He was honest in front and slapped the two of them in one position and pushed them back. He was not honest and dared to grin and press them down on the spot. He was thrusting his face, slapping his mouth and slapping it happily.

These days, we are not as obedient as later generations. Seeing that the new prefect dared to order people to be beaten, there were actually small hills in the army who were stabbing their heads, shouting dozens or hundreds of fellow tribes went up and headed towards the electric cannon.

However! What did Wang Hou's subordinates eat? They had meat and vegetables every meal, and they had eggs from time to time, and they ate better than Cao Cao's personal guards! And they trained him for 25 hours a day, which was a sturdy effort. In comparison, these county and state soldiers were idle and not good at eating, and they were dry and thin. Good guys, even if Zhao Yun was not around, the grain squad that was assigned would still be a flock of tigers. Nine people dared to grab 100 or 200 people and beat them. What was even more unreasonable was that they could have been beaten.

Just as Wang Jinzhong, the military lord who was close to Wang Hou, was stunned. He saw a little boss wearing a wallet and hitting Wang Hou's personal soldier with a kitten fist. Bang bang bang bang bang bang, and all three fists were sniffing on the face of the personal soldier. Not to mention, it was really useful. A stream of nosebleed flowed out from the nostrils of the personal soldier, and his face turned blue, hitting the personal soldier's anger, and then it disappeared.

In the stunned silence of the little boy, Wang Hou's personal soldier cut his left eye socket with an electric gun. Even Wang Jinzhong's mouth twitched straight, and the boy with dark circles directly tilted his shell to the ground, with only foaming in his mouth.

The various military methods of famous generals in ancient times cannot change an eternal truth, and the truth is that they are hard!

Although it was not true that four hundred people followed eight thousand people to fight against each other, the soldiers of the county and state of Dongjun, who had a bruised nose and swollen face finally stood in a large formation of eighty to one hundred. Looking at the soldiers of Wang Hou who were walking around him, these soldiers of the county and state were so scared that they were trembling.

However, for a moment, Wang Hou was not busy with the appointment of officials, but sat on the bench and frowned and frowned at the sergeant's roster. On this, he saw the problem very well.

There are no troops or villages, and there are many people who have the same surname and are close together. This shows a problem. When joining the army, all the small family members squeezed into the same army.

In this way, the seven aunts and aunts joined the battle together, which was actually a characteristic of the conscription of the Qin and Han Dynasties from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is also true that Lu Xiang ascended the Tianxiong Army in the late Ming Dynasty, because they were all relatives. Once a person was killed on the battlefield, it might immediately cause the anger of a whole family.

However, the disadvantages are also very obvious. One of the family escaped, the whole family escaped together, and the other army collapsed.

In this extremely poorly trained county and state troops, this disadvantage is infinitely magnified.

With a group of big men not daring to show their trembling fear, for half an hour, Wang Hou suddenly closed the military list and stood up. A row of officers from the Wang family in Taiyuan immediately stood up solemnly, waiting for Wang Hou's appointment. However, Wang Hou's next order was unexpected to everyone.

"I am sending the order of the emperor to the whole army heading towards the Yellow River at a very fast speed, and then run back here. The mansion sets three incense sticks here. If you can't get back three incense sticks, kick out the Puyang army!"

This made the soldiers of the county and state below explode. Many people buzzed and shouted in disbelief, but Wang Hou ignored it and waved his hands at another personal soldier. The latter also brought the incense burner from behind without hesitation. Then, the rumbling drums were suddenly built up by the personal soldiers.

There was also the fool who was screaming there, and the smart one turned around and started running. After the three-way drum, everything reacted. He held his big pants and clanged his tongue, and then ran out of the military camp. He lost more than a hundred shoes on the spot. Seeing that Wang Hou once again covered his head speechlessly.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the entire Yellow River flowed in the north of Puyang, and all the East County were on the south bank of the Yellow River. However, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow River was greatly diverted and was governed by Wang Hou's ancestor, the Eastern Han Dynasty's water engineer Wang Yuan. The current river channel flowed from Yanjin and Baima to Shandong five miles south of Puyang. Puyang City was then separated to the north bank of the Yellow River. The ancestor of this descendant also made Wang Hou feel sad and had to face Yuan Shao's army.

This pattern continued until the Song Dynasty. The three emperors of the Zhao family who were dying changed the route of the Yellow River three times, making the Yellow River one hundred and twenty kilometers away from Puyang.

However, now, the Yellow River is only about five miles away, one round trip is five kilometers, and three incense sticks are still more than fifteen minutes.

However, Wang Hou overestimated the quality of the military source of this era and had no choice but to add an extra stick of incense. The county and state soldiers who ran back on time were only more than 5,000. Seeing this, Wang Hou directly closed the door with an order, and isolated the county and state soldiers who ran back only a few meters away from the outside.

The iron rice bowl was lost, what could this person do? The soldiers outside patted the military camp gate like zombies, and someone came back panting and resisting.

But this time, without Wang Hou's order, Zhao Yun took action directly. The nearly 400 guards drew their swords and unsheathed them, and divided them neatly into two teams, one team inward and the other team outward. The cold light and round-headed sword pointed out the wooden camp gate. The eliminated soldiers outside immediately staggered out in fear. The inside did not dare to show off their anger and retreated in disappointment.

Looking at the messy more than 5,000 people, Wang Hou was the officer of the Wang family who had been waiting for a long time and hugged his fists.

"You are following Wang Hou to the north. Wang Hou remembers this kindness. However, in the military, my military orders must be abide by, otherwise you will be severely punished! Now you will draw lots as the chief and deputy military marquis, and go down to choose a soldier of Qu, and immediately make a list of flowers, and do not make any mistakes!"

With a promise, the officers of these aristocratic families immediately pulled a piece of paper into more than twenty pieces, drew lots, and then went down to lead the troops.

However, the former Xudu Junhou who was standing with Wang Hou just now did not go to draw lots. Instead, he looked at the eliminated county and state soldiers who were still wandering outside with concern, and hugged Wang Hou with fists.

"Lord, those people are a hidden danger! You can't join the army and eat food. You either starve to death or become a thief in the mountains and fields! I hope the head of the family thinks twice!"

Just by streamlining the combat power, Wang Hou really forgot about this incident. When he slapped his forehead, he nodded helplessly.

"Prepare two more rosters, and you will command the elimination army for this mansion. Are you willing?"

"I will obey the order!"

It is said that the family members are like this, but the officials and generals of the aristocratic families are indeed capable. Wang Jinzhong almost immediately stroked his chest and saluted and agreed.

This toss and turns to the evening, with more than 5,100 people reorganized eleven songs, four songs into one, that is, three songs...

Originally, it was formed by clans as units, but after such trouble, the combat effectiveness of the Puyang soldiers was actually weakened. However, looking at the soldiers who squatted on the ground and grabbed Wang Hou and swallowed the dry food, Wang Hou was full of confidence and ready to go.

"Puyang, it's stable!"
