It took a full month to recruit all 50,000 recruits.
Among them, 20,000 new soldiers were recruited in Jing Zhaoyi.
Another 30,000 recruits came from Fufeng County and Fengyi County.
Wang Ding intends to control the number of recruits in the three places.
However, during the recruitment process, Yang Xiu discovered that there were many people from Jingzhou.
They also came to sign up for the army. Wang Ding did not refuse to accept these people, but organized them into an army separately.
Wang Ding instinctively distrusted this group of people who suddenly came from Jingzhou.
When he was recruiting troops in Chang'an, people from Fufeng County and Fengyi County had to send people to notify them before anyone came.
Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, but there are still people who specially come to enlist in the army.
No matter how Wang Ding looked at it, he felt strange.
There are still people from Jingzhou who came to Chang'an to serve as soldiers.
Unless you are a fool, or you have an ulterior motive.
Today, all 50,000 new soldiers recruited have arrived at the military camp.
Wang Ding stood on the high platform and looked at the 50,000 soldiers who had put on military uniforms. He shouted loudly: "Welcome everyone, enlist in the army and become new recruits."
In order to let more people hear it, a large loudspeaker was placed in front of Wang Ding.
Fifty thousand recruits stood in rows. Wang Ding, who was standing on the high platform, could only see the expressions of the recruits in the front row. As for the back, there was nothing but black heads.
"This is your own choice. I hope that in the future, if you are afraid of death, you can withdraw now. I hope that no one will regret it in the future."
"You will be the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Your future mission is to protect the Han Dynasty and the common people in the world."
"Once you are a soldier of the Han Dynasty, you should remember that our Han army is a strong army with morality, discipline and principles."
"Finally, I hope that all soldiers will achieve great success."
Wang Ding didn’t say much.
Fifty thousand new soldiers were led away by their respective generals.
Wang Ding, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao and others also came to the commander's tent.
"Lord, what should we do with those people from Jingzhou?" Zhang Liao said.
When Wang Ding spoke just now, the group of people from Jingzhou were also among them.
At this moment, they were led by Fan Chou. There were three thousand people in total.
Wang Dingdao: "Normal training."
According to Jia Xu's analysis, these three thousand people should have been sent by Liu Biao with the purpose of infiltrating Wang Ding's army.
Perhaps Liu Biao did not expect that Wang Ding had many conditions for conscription, and only those who met many conditions could apply for the army.
When registering, you must also fill in your name, place of origin and other information.
Even if these people from Jingzhou want to hide it, their accents cannot change and they can be easily distinguished.
Those who did not admit that they were from Jingzhou were eliminated.
The three thousand Jingzhou soldiers currently in the military camp all admitted that they were from Jingzhou when they signed up.
Except for Liu Biao, no one else in Jingzhou has such great energy.
Including those who were eliminated, there are at least 5,000 people from Jingzhou this time.
Liu Biao wanted to let 5,000 Jingzhou people blend into Wang Ding's army. His purpose is self-evident.
Either they want to explore the secrets of Wang Ding's army, or they want to use these five thousand people as bargaining chips to give Wang Ding a heavy blow in the future.
But Liu Biao would never have imagined that the men he sent would be organized into an army by Wang Ding.
When these three thousand people left with Fan Chou, they all felt something was wrong.
Although I don’t know the people around me, why do they all have similar accents?
They felt as if they were not in Chang'an, but in Jingzhou.
It wasn't until the three thousand Jingzhou soldiers saw people they knew in the crowd that they were sure that they were really organized into a separate army, and everyone around them was from Jingzhou.
Many people are terrified, but they dare not act rashly.
Fan Chou settled the people, leaving only a few captains to watch, and then he also came to the commander's account.
"Lord, why don't we kill them all." Fan Chou didn't want to train these problematic Jingzhou soldiers.
Knowing clearly that Liu Biao was sent here, he would eventually turn against him and trap and kill them all. It was just time for Liu Biao to consider carefully and not to engage in these conspiracies in the future.
Wang Dingdao: "Keep them for now and train them normally, and don't miss out on the food and salary they should be given."
How could Wang Ding not want the soldiers who were sent for nothing?
Not only did he want to keep it, he also wanted to write a letter of thanks to Liu Biao.
To be honest, Liu Biao actually sent people to Chang'an to infiltrate his army. Wang Ding really didn't expect that this was what he thought the good old Liu Biao would do.
But when I think about it, I feel relieved.
In this era, how can anyone who can become a prince really be a good person?
If it was really that kind of harmless little white rabbit, it would have been torn to pieces by the wolves surrounding it.
Wang must stay with these three thousand Jingzhou soldiers and train them normally.
Anyway, they formed an army alone and could not affect other soldiers.
We will look at the training results in the future and decide how to use them.
Maybe let them serve as death squads.
But that night, Wang Ding received a report from Fan Chou.
Of the three thousand Jingzhou soldiers, more than five hundred wanted to escape on the first night.
Fan Chou had already prepared, and there was a camp for veterans outside the Jingzhou soldiers.
Moreover, Fan Chou was already keeping an eye on them. The fleeing Jingzhou soldiers were captured by Fan Chou and his men as soon as they left the camp.
No one escaped.
This is the military camp of the Han army, and these three thousand Jingzhou soldiers are in the central area.
More than 500 people were all escorted to Wang Ding the next day.
On the first night, there were more than 500 deserters. Even though these were Jingzhou soldiers, Wang Ding's face did not look good.
They knew that these three thousand people were all spies from Jingzhou.
But the other 50,000 recruits don't know that if these recruits know that there are so many deserters, it will have a great impact on morale, and the subsequent training effect will be compromised.
"Yesterday, I said that if you regret it, you can leave. All you need to do is tell your superiors, why are you still deserting?" Wang Ding said angrily.
More than 500 people knelt in front of Wang Ding. Some people cried: "I want to go home and beg the general to spare my life."
"Please forgive me, General."
When they were resting last night, they had secretly contacted each other and planned to escape together.
Three thousand people from Jingzhou were all grouped together. As long as they were not stupid, they would know that their identities would be exposed.
Naturally, I am worried that if I stay, I will be persecuted by Wang Ding.
Unexpectedly, they escaped overnight and were captured alive just after leaving the camp.
This is the Han army's camp, and they don't dare to resist with only a few people.
And most of them were just civilians before coming here.
Only a small number of them had already enlisted in the army when they were in Jingzhou, and some even went to the battlefield.
They are the leaders.
Liu Biao also wanted to cast a wider net. Anyway, Jingzhou now has a large population and a lot of money and food.
It would be best if he can successfully infiltrate Wang Ding's army by sending thousands of people. As long as a small part of the five thousand people are reused, his gains will exceed the current investment.
Even if he fails, the loss is not big for him.
Wang Dingdao: "I will give you one more chance. If you are willing to stay, you can go back with General Fan now. If you still want to leave, I will send you and others out of the camp later."
