My son, how could you be Lü Bu?!

Chapter 61 Integration Section!

Chapter 63 Integration Section!

"The commander has summoned you!"

"Soldiers, assemble immediately! Do not make a fuss or cause trouble. We will assemble at the drill ground at noon today. No armor or weapons are required!"

Several days later.

The sun was high in the sky, shining brightly on the drill ground.

Lu Ping stood on the drill ground in the city, dressed as a warrior in a red straight-hemmed robe with a sword at his waist. A string of black ribbons with bronze seals, symbolizing a salary of six hundred shi (a unit of grain), hung from his belt.

With the call.

The newly recruited soldiers hurriedly left the camp and rushed to assemble in the training ground.

Although it was their first time gathering together.

However, these soldiers were carefully selected during the recruitment process, and they were all somewhat capable. In just a quarter of an hour, they successfully formed ranks.

The military system in the Han Dynasty was often adapted to local conditions.

For example, Lu Ping's current position as a commander is in an inland county. Because the war is not urgent, he is also worth 600 shi (a unit of grain), but he only has two tun (a unit of military units) under his command, which means he can only have 200 soldiers.

Located in Wuyuan County, and with war about to resume, Lü Ping's army was fully staffed, consisting of five garrisons.

They consisted of three garrisons of infantry, one garrison of cavalry, and one garrison of archers.

Each village was headed by a village chief with a rank equivalent to 200 shi (a unit of grain). Below the village chief were squad leaders, platoon leaders, and platoon leaders, which is another matter.

Also.

Due to the fact that the dynasty is in its final years and corruption is rampant in various places, there are often cases of officers receiving salaries without working, understaffed positions, and insufficient military equipment.

The fact that Lü Ping's five hundred men were able to be organized into a cohesive unit was entirely due to Wang Yun's prestige.

Otherwise, the five hundred soldiers he had painstakingly recruited would probably be divided up by other officers who knew that a war was about to break out and that they were short of soldiers as soon as they arrived at the training ground!

at this time.

After recalling the events of a few days prior, when the appointment was made, Wang Yun introduced the general situation of the five hundred men under his command.

Lu Ping finally came to his senses.

His face was expressionless, and his right hand unconsciously rested on the long sword at his waist.

Looking down at himself.

The soldiers, densely packed together, all silent and looking up at him, included many familiar faces of wandering knights he had personally recruited.

Lu Ping took a deep breath and, based on his thoughts over the past few days, spoke aloud.

"Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, Wei Xu, Song Xian."

"Step forward!"

Beside him.

Several loud-voiced, broad-shouldered warriors, each holding five sets of official robes and seals, stood nearby. As he spoke, they also repeated the order in unison, their faces expressionless.

"Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, Wei Xu, Song Xian."

"Step forward!"

So loud.

This caused the soldiers who were standing a little closer to frown slightly.

With Lü Ping's call.

A commotion immediately arose in the crowd, and several valiant figures emerged from the group of soldiers, striding towards the high platform where Lü Ping was located.

Seeing this scene.

Looking at Lü Ping and the five men above, the soldiers realized something and immediately erupted in uproar.

"Is this the designated garrison commander, who has assigned the soldiers to each garrison?"

"I was originally thinking that I could use my bravery to get noticed by the bandit leader and become a platoon leader or squad leader, but... I wasn't given the slightest chance?"

"Who do you think you are?!"

"I heard these men were all soldiers who fought alongside our Commander Qu, defeating hundreds of bandits and earning merit. What makes you think you can take them from them?!"

"That's right! I've inquired around, and apart from these few individuals, there aren't any other wealthy or extravagant people among the five hundred people in our group!"

'

,

Most of these soldiers joined the army because they admired Lü Ping's reputation, so they naturally knew about Lü Ping and the deeds of the group of wandering knights under his command.

at this time.

There was little objection to the five people stepping forward; their faces were filled with envy.

And then the commotion from the soldiers below the stage began.

Even the most obtuse among them instantly understood what their Master Lü wanted them to do!

Appoint him as the village head and assign him responsibilities!

These past few days.

While Lü Ping was recruited by Qu Chang and busy familiarizing himself with his duties and working hard on papermaking, the recruited soldiers were all recalled to the drill ground for some simple training.

During this time, they all more or less speculated about what positions Lu Bo would give them now that he had become the head of the troupe.

Although Lu Bo was always generous, this time it involved more than just money; it involved official positions and authority. These people were inevitably uneasy to some extent.

He was afraid that he might have offended Uncle Lü in some way, and that Uncle Lü would be displeased and only give him a squad leader position, or even a lowly rank like Dangdang.

at this time.

Hearing Lu Bo's call, and seeing the admiration in the eyes of the soldiers below, he realized that Lu Bo was the one who had called out to him.

The five people, who had been anxious for several days, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their steps became lighter.

Cheng Lian's brows relaxed, and his expression remained calm.

Cao Xing was straightforward and honest. At this moment, he just chuckled. Between chuckles, he would occasionally turn his head and glare at Song Xian, who had joined the group later, yet was able to step forward with him.

Wei Yue and Wei Xu could hardly hide their joy.

As they walked, Wei Yue, who was supposed to be the third to step forward, hesitated for a moment and then deliberately lagged behind Wei Xu by half a step.

Wei Xu didn't care at all and accepted it calmly.

As for Song Xian, who was last in line, although he was called up at this moment, he was uneasy because he was neither as close to Lü Ping as Wei Xu, nor had he made any great contributions.

The five people stood still.

Names and tools should not be lent to others!

Lu Ping was already well-versed in this cost-effective tactic.

He stepped forward, took the seal and official robes, and personally helped the men put on the official robes that a garrison commander should wear, tying the black ribbon with the bronze seal symbolizing a salary of two hundred bushels of grain around their waists.

Then, he stepped back, looked at the five people who had changed their appearance, nodded slightly, and looked satisfied.

And these five people.

Previously, he was just a down-on-his-luck wandering swordsman, but now he has suddenly become a two-hundred-stone official. Regardless of what he thought before, he can no longer contain his excitement.

Seeing Lü Ping scrutinizing him, he wished he could kneel down on one knee on the spot and die for Lü Bo! He was quite like someone who wanted to repay the emperor's kindness and support him to the death!

It was only because there were too many people that we didn't do it!

After observing the five people...

Lu Ping turned around again, facing the group of soldiers below the stage who were filled with admiration, and spoke loudly as arranged beforehand.

"A great battle is imminent!"

"The reason I have summoned you all here today is to divide the troops and conduct training with you!"

"Our Qu region has five villages in total!"

"Among them are three infantry garrisons! Each infantry garrison carries either a long spear, a ring-pommel sword, or a large shield, and they train daily. They are commanded by the garrison commanders Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, and Song Xian!"

As he spoke, he pointed with his hand to help the soldiers recognize their own village chief.

"The Archer's Garrison is now under the command of Garrison Commander Wei Xu!"

"As for the cavalry garrison, since our garrison is newly established, we only have about fifty horses, but we'll count the number of men as a hundred, under the command of Garrison Commander Wei Yue!"

"Apart from the cavalry garrison, the other garrisons are fully equipped with weaponry..."

Just as Lü Ping was rallying support in the training grounds and adjusting the proportion of his fifty wandering knights in each village, so as to keep the entire situation under control.

Lü Bu had just become Cai Yong's disciple.

At this moment, he was sitting in the courtyard where Cai Yong was temporarily staying, his face full of bitterness.
