Generally speaking, barracks will be placed in the city, because it is conducive to the change of defense and protection in the city and the martial law of the town, which can ensure the stability of the city and county to the greatest extent.

But Qijun's barracks is different. It is placed in the suburbs outside the city.

Just because there are too many soldiers in Qi County.

In addition to the 30,000 Qingzhou cavalry drawn by lottery, there are also several major units recruited by Zhao Changqing after his arrival: 10,000 strong crossbowmen, 20,000 spearmen, 20,000 sword and shield soldiers, 30,000 light cavalry, and 10,000 chariot soldiers.

, an ordinary infantry force of thirty thousand.

The combined strength of all arms is 150,000.

Although Qijun can accommodate it, it is still very difficult, so it would be better to place it in the suburbs.

As for why so many troops were suddenly recruited, it was because Zhao Changqing had a soft spot for redundant troops.

Anyway, you have nothing to do, why not recruit some troops for fun?

This is still too small for him, but as the recruitment continues, those subordinates will no longer be willing. Now that there is no war, what is the use of recruiting so many troops?

Are you going to live on a dry diet?

How much does the financial expenditure cost every day?

Moreover, the total number of troops in all counties in Qingzhou is nearly 400,000!

They were all recruited in the past few days under Zhao Changqing's order.

In peacetime, can you imagine a standing army of 400,000? What are we preparing for? Rebellion?

You know, as wealthy as Jiangnan Road, when the Chu army attacked Chang'an, they only urgently prepared an army of hundreds of thousands.

And Qingzhou has an army of 400,000!

What is this concept?

There are various camps and guards in Chang'an. So far, there are only 300,000 troops.

In a sense, Zhao Changqing is already the second most powerful force in Wei, second only to Emperor Wei.

After all, Emperor Wei still had the entire south to rely on.

Despite this, Zhao Changqing can now be called the local emperor of Qingzhou.

After Zhuge Liang, who was in the military camp, learned so much about the situation, he also sighed at the far-reaching layout of His Highness King Qi.

In this way, the fight for the throne will have a little more protection and strength.

However, these newly recruited soldiers in Qingzhou still have a lot of room for improvement!

Well, there is a long way to go. His Highness, King Qi, entrusted me with such an important task. I cannot let him down!

Zhuge Liang, who was training his troops, heard a report from his subordinates, saying that the Princess of Chu had given permission from the King of Qi to visit the military camp.

Now Zhuge Liang became confused.

How can outsiders be allowed to visit this important military base?

Isn't this a foolish move?

But can His Highness the King of Qi be mediocre?

There is no way he is stupid!

Reminiscent of the fact that the Princess of Chu's humiliation of His Royal Highness King Qi a few days ago caused a storm in the country and almost became a scandal. But now, the Princess of Chu's visit to Qingzhou is allowed to visit the military camp?

Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to regain his face and use the killing spirit of the barracks to scare the princess of Chu?

It also helps her and the Chu State behind her know that the current Qingzhou is no longer the soft persimmon it used to be and can be manipulated as they please?

Moreover...His Royal Highness, King Qi, also wants to test my ability to make changes when the situation arises, right? Want to see if I have the ability to really train the army well?

In this way, we can't let the princesses of Chu see the joke in vain. We have to give them something unforgettable to let them know what kind of demeanor I, King Wei Qi, and Zhuge Kongming are!

There you have it, set up the formation!

Zhuge Liang, wearing a feather fan and turban, sat cross-legged on the general stage, looked at the tens of thousands of troops below the stage, and said with a smile: "Stop the drill and tell them that the Chu people who once mocked and massacred my Wei people are here, and they are going to

Take a look at the style of our Wei army.

Order them to set up a long snake formation, listen to my feather fan instructions, and be patient for now."

A general standing next to him bowed and said: "No!"

Zhuge Liang's words were then spread throughout the army.

Soon, this army of ten thousand spearmen was arranged in an orderly manner. Looking at the formation, it was indeed a long snake formation.

To be able to form a military formation in such a short period of time, I am afraid only a wise man like Zhuge Liang could do it.

After a while, the Princess of Chu and others, led by Zhang San, quickly arrived at Zhuge Liang's side. At this time, he had already seen their arrival, so he turned his feather fan gently, and the herald ordered a change of formation. The 10,000-strong army

The leader immediately shouted loudly:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

All ten thousand spearmen then shouted angrily, ‘Kill, kill, kill!’. Suddenly, the surrounding area was filled with a sense of killing. The momentum was deafening and resounded throughout the world.

Slowly, they changed from the one-word long snake formation to the two-dragon water formation, that is, the long snake formation was divided into two, forming a flanking situation.

Mi Yue didn't understand the art of military formation, but from the shouting and killing of this large army, she smelled the smell of a tiger and wolf army, and was very shocked.

However, Chu Hong beside him couldn't help but admired, "You can actually change the formation perfectly in an instant. Anyone with such ability is the commander-in-chief of an army. Moreover, the spirit of this army is really rare!"

Mi Yue frowned just now.

How many elite people like this are there in Qingzhou?

Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? Fifty thousand or one hundred thousand?

Sorry, Qingzhou has four to five million troops like this, and the standing army that can be mobilized is only 400,000.

In fact, it stands to reason that even if these new recruits are very good at killing enemies in battle, they cannot master the art of changing formations in a very short period of time!

In fact, this is the greatness of Zhuge Liang.

He had long known that in order to make this army proficient in the use of military formations, it would not be achieved overnight, so among every fifty people, he placed a talent trained by himself who knew how to change military formations.

.

In this way, the joint effect can ensure the correct operation of the pikemen when changing military formations.

When Mi Yue and others came to Zhuge Liang, he slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I wonder what the princess of Chu is doing here?"

Mi Yue also returned the courtesy and said: "You must be the Qingzhou Military Advisor General, Zhuge Liang?"

When she arrived, she heard Zhang San say that the man currently in charge of training the soldiers in the military camp was a gentleman named Zhuge Liang. When she arrived, she also saw Zhang San pointing at him.

So there should be no mistake.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It's just a little name, not worth mentioning. It seems that the princess hasn't answered Liang's question yet."

Mi Yue said: "I want to go shopping when I say that I have nothing to do and just want to go shopping. Can Military Advisor Zhuge believe it?"

Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and said: "The princess said she has nothing to do, so she has nothing to do. What does it matter whether she believes it or not? It's just that the swords in the military camp have no eyes, so it's better to ask the princess of Chu to be careful."

The princess of Chu also smiled and said: "If you can see the style of Qingzhou soldiers and their swords, it will not hurt you."

Zhuge Liang pretended to be arrogant and said: "Haha, our Qingzhou soldiers are naturally better than the Chu army. Do you know what our Qingzhou soldiers usually pride themselves on?"

Mi Yue said: "Listen attentively."
