The rebellion in Youzhou was put down. As the state shepherd of Youzhou, Liu Yu wrote a long memorial in detail. While listing his military exploits, he also begged for a two-year tax exemption for the entire Youzhou, and listed a series of
The strategy of revitalizing Youzhou was to request the imperial court to allocate money and food to recruit refugees.
After the memorial was sent out, Liu Yu began to deal with the entire government affairs of Youzhou. He had no involvement in the three counties of Liaodong, Lelang, and Changli. From his heart, he had completely left it to Gao Fei to handle. What he has to do now
His main purpose was to lure the refugees who fled Youzhou back, and at the same time select officials at all levels and recruit talents. Therefore, he was very busy. He stayed in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion with his subordinate officials every day to handle official documents.
In contrast, Gao Fei is much more leisurely. He is not good at handling government affairs. He just needs to put some capable people in competent positions. He has always done this.
He personally sent Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Tai Shici away to take office in Shanggu, Daijun, and Zhuojun. In normal times, he trained his remaining five thousand cavalry in the school grounds of Jicheng.
It is a sunny day. The golden sunshine is like fine wine, exuding the pure aroma of wine everywhere. As soon as one smells the aroma of wine, one can’t help but be intoxicated. The warm sunshine fills the entire campus, and occasionally there are bursts of light waves floating in the air.
The gentle breeze makes people lazily immerse themselves in this spring day.
It was already April weather. Gao Fei and all the soldiers took off their thick winter clothes and put on lighter and more comfortable clothes, and they all gathered on the school field.
The spring breeze blew, the war drums beat, and the rumbling drums broke the quiet and warm morning. Five thousand soldiers stood in ten small square formations, holding various weapons in their hands, standing there upright,
A solemn atmosphere immediately emerged.
Gao Fei stepped onto the general stage, with a bandage still wrapped around his right arm. Although the wound that had burst after a few days of nursing had healed again, the injury was not completely healed. There would still be a trace of traces of it with occasional activities.
He was in pain. He wore a helmet and armor, and the military uniform made him even more powerful. His sharp eyes looked around at the five thousand soldiers who were waiting for him below the school ground, and he felt a little more relieved in his heart.
Among the five thousand soldiers under the stage, there are Han people and Wuhuan people, but no matter who they are, they are all wearing uniform Han army uniforms, and they also have a golden feather embroidered on their left arm.
Armbands. As soon as they saw Gao Fei walking up to the general stage, they all shouted in unison: "My lord is mighty! My lord is mighty..."
Gao Fei raised his left arm and pressed it down, signaling everyone to stop shouting. When the school grounds became silent, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "From today on, the tasks you will be responsible for are:
It’s as simple as just garrisoning the city. As the saying goes, a country cannot stand without defense, and the people are restless without soldiers. The Wuhuan people among you are all warriors skilled in bows and horses, but from now on, whether you are Wuhuan people or Han people,
They will always be my subordinates. Therefore, if they are my subordinates, they must obey my orders and start training hard from now on."
As soon as the words fell, the Wuhuan people began to look at each other. For them who had never received formal formation training from the Han army, they were all a little confused. Moreover, they were all standing on the ground but not riding horses, which made them feel like they were missing something.
Two legs are the same.
For nomads, horses are an indispensable work tool. In order to chase the yellow sheep and wild deer galloping on the endless grassland, to drive away the cattle and sheep that need water and grass to survive, and to drive away or avoid the intrusion of foreign tribes, the children of the grassland
We must learn to live on horseback from an early age. Children as young as three or four can get on and off horses freely without the help of adults. Many of them even came to this world after leaving their mother's womb on horseback.
.Long years of riding life have made their combination with horses extremely harmonious. War horses are like their legs. Once they lose their war horses, it is like losing their walking legs.
There was a commotion immediately under the general stage. A Wuhuan man in his twenties came out. He held a long halberd in his hand and looked up at the general stage. At the same time, he imitated the etiquette of the Han people.
, bowed to Gao Fei on the general stage: "My lord, for us Wuhuan people, hunting is the best way of training. Without war horses, we cannot hunt."
Gao Fei took a look at the Wuhuan man and saw that the Wuhuan man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, tight muscles wrapped under his thin clothes, and his eyes were bright, so he asked: "What's your name?"
The Wuhuan man replied simply and neatly: "My lord, my name is Tadun."
After hearing this, Gao Fei was startled and thought silently: "It turns out that he is Tadun. He actually appears here. It really surprises me."
"Are you Qiu Liju's son?" Gao Fei asked immediately.
Tadun nodded and said, "Yes, my father is Qiu Liju."
Gao Fei pointed at Tadun and said: "You were originally the commander-in-chief of the tribe, right? But you are all my subordinates now, and all military positions must be appointed and dismissed by me. From today on, you will serve as the captain. These five
Thousands of soldiers and horses will be under your command."
Tadun happily bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your love."
Gao Fei waved his hand and said: "There are still a few people in the team who were originally young coaches. Please all stand up and I will make reasonable appointments."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei saw a relatively thin young man walking out. Seeing that the young man was only twelve or thirteen years old, he immediately asked: "What's your name?"
The young man looked a little timid, and answered with clasped fists: "In reply to my lord...my...my name is Lou Ban, and my father...is also Qiu Liju."
Gao Fei laughed and said to himself: "Damn, Qiu Liju's two sons suddenly appeared today. Qiu Liju has been sent back to Liaoxi by me, and he actually left two sons here. The building class is still
It is normal for a half-year-old child to be a little timid. Tadun seems to be a steady and resourceful person, and should be able to serve as a leader."
In view of the completely different personalities of Lou Ban and Tadun, although they are both the sons of Qiu Liju, Gao Fei still made the best plan in his heart. He said loudly: "Lou Ban, from now on you will follow
Be by my side."
Lou Ban was surprised at first, and then replied: "No! I obey!"
Gao Fei continued the previous topic and said: "I know very well the training methods of you Wuhuan people. That is why I want you to receive formal training. I want you to train without horses to strengthen your physical strength.
And the ability to coordinate with companions. The battle is not for one person, but for a group of people. Although a brave warrior will create great morale for those around him, by the same token, once the bravest person falls
If this happens, you Wuhuan people will fall into a leaderless state. This is the advantage and disadvantage of you Wuhuan people. Therefore, I want to correct this shortcoming of yours so that you can face the battle calmly even if no one is commanding you.
This is called legion strength."
When he said this, he paused and looked at the Wuhuan people who were a little confused. He then continued: "The so-called legion refers to the overall combat effectiveness. When one person falls, a thousand people continue to fight, regardless of whether the opponent has
How strong and brave, when the bravest person faces a thousand people with the same fighting ability, I firmly believe that those who are enemies of the entire legion will always be killed. Do you...understand?
?”
In the audience, all the Wuhuan people shook their heads, but for those Han people who had received formal training, they all nodded.
Tadun also had a look of confusion on his face, and he immediately raised his hands and asked, "Master, can you make it simpler?"
Gao Fei thought about it carefully, then he had an idea and said immediately: "You Wuhuan are all people who live on the grassland and you also like hunting. So you must have seen a fight between a group of wolves and a tiger, right?
?The tiger is the king of the forest and the most powerful of all beasts. But when a tiger encounters a group of hungry wild wolves, who do you think is the group of wolves that killed the tiger or the tiger that killed a group of wolves?
Already?"
Tadun immediately replied: "I have seen a tiger killed by a pack of wolves. We often see similar situations when we hunt."
Gao Fei heard other Wuhuan people echoing his voice, he chuckled and explained: "That's right, I hope all of you Wuhuan people are like wolves, of course not just one, but a group of one.
A wolf may be killed by a tiger, but when a group of wolves surrounds a tiger, the tiger will be killed by a group of wolves. This simple truth is just like the legion battle I just told you. You Wuhuan
In the past, people always relied on a tiger to fight, but from now on, I will let you become a group of wolves that can fight. This is team spirit, and it is also the main purpose of my training, which is to enable you to fight without anyone commanding you.
Under certain circumstances, rely on each other's companions to fight the strongest enemy. Only in this way can you be warriors in the true sense. Do you understand this time?"
People on the grassland have always worshiped wolves. They believe that they are descendants of wolves, and most of them use wolf heads as large banners. The difference is that the colors of the wolf head banners vary among tribes and tribes. One of the Wuhuan people present
After hearing Gao Fei's explanation, they all immediately understood. They raised their weapons and shouted loudly: "We are the strongest and we are willing to accept training."
Ever since, Gao Fei copied the model he had used to train the first batch of Feiyu troops. First, he asked the Han people to assist the Wuhuan people in physical training, and then cultivated a tacit understanding between everyone. Not only that, he also used this
The method was ordered to be sent to Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Taishi Ci, Qiu Liju, Wu Liden and others in western Liaoning, so that they could strengthen the training of the Wuhuan people during this period.
