Chapter 6 The strategist even knows how to train troops.
Liu Bei's strategist boasted that he could defeat Cao Cao.
In the hall, apart from Mi Zhu, Chen Gui, and Chen Deng, everyone else was laughing at their overestimation of their abilities.
[System Log: The host has successfully made the Xuzhou officials look down on him, successfully playing the fool. Today's achievement +1.]
[Current Achievements Pending Settlement: 1 item.]
Tao Qian had no choice but to temporarily abandon the plan and let Liu Bei focus on preparing his army for war.
After the meeting,
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Lu Yong then followed Cao Bao to his military camp.
Although Cao Bao was extremely unwilling, he dared not refuse Tao Qian's public declaration.
When Guan Yu returned with four thousand well-trained Danyang soldiers, he even showed a rare smile.
On the way, Lu Yong pondered whether he should ask Liu Bei for the newly recruited soldiers so that he could train them himself.
After all, training soldiers can also earn achievements, and the system might give some corresponding rewards for leading troops in battle when it's time to settle accounts.
Thinking of this, Lu Yong prepared to speak to Liu Bei.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei also spoke up at that moment.
"My lord..."
"military adviser……"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and both were stunned.
"My lord, please speak first," Lu Yong said modestly.
Liu Bei didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I'd like to entrust the training of the newly recruited soldiers to you. What do you think?"
"Hmm?" Lu Yong looked at Liu Bei with surprise and replied, "I was just about to tell you about this, my lord."
"Really?" Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "It seems we have quite a good understanding!"
"Strategist, you also know how to train troops?" Guan Yu couldn't help but ask.
"I know a little, I know a little," Lu Yong replied modestly.
Lu Yong was not only resourceful, but also knew how to train troops.
Liu Bei was increasingly pleased with what he saw, and couldn't help but think to himself, "My third brother has brought me such a great talent; I must reward him handsomely!"
The three men led four thousand Danyang soldiers back to their camp outside the city in a grand procession.
From afar, Zhang Fei's booming voice could be heard at the camp gate:
"Drink! Drink it all! Nobody's allowed to sleep until this whole truckload is finished!"
Liu Bei was immediately embarrassed.
Guan Yu's hand trembled involuntarily.
Lu Yong looked into the camp with great interest.
Zhang Fei was shirtless.
He was sitting around a fire with a group of soldiers, each holding a bowl of wine.
Several half-gnawed lamb leg bones were scattered on the ground.
As the three approached,
Zhang Fei was raising his wine bowl and pouring it into his mouth.
He caught a glimpse of Liu Bei's approaching figure out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly his hand trembled, spilling half a bowl of wine.
He quickly put down his bowl, stood up, and unconsciously shrank back.
"Brother, I..." Zhang Fei mumbled, his voice much lower than usual, "I just saw that the brothers got their share of wine and meat today, and I was so happy that I... I drank a few bowls with them."
Liu Bei didn't speak, he just looked at him quietly.
Zhang Fei felt uneasy under Liu Bei's gaze and couldn't help but add, "I really only drank a few bowls..."
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's face remained expressionless, which made Zhang Fei even more uneasy.
Unable to bear this silent torment,
Zhang Fei puffed out his chest and said, "Brother, punish me as you see fit."
Liu Bei did not reply.
He stepped forward, picked up the wine jar from the ground, shook it, and found that there was still a little more than half a jar left.
Zhang Fei, unsure of Liu Bei's intentions, couldn't help but swallow hard.
Liu Bei then bent down, picked up a clean bowl, filled it to the brim, and presented it to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was stunned. "Big brother?"
"Drink." Liu Bei pushed the wine bowl forward again.
"Brother, I really know I was wrong, please don't do this..." Zhang Fei was truly panicked now.
This is so damn abnormal!
Seeing that Zhang Fei was truly panicked, Liu Bei suddenly laughed and said:
"Don't be afraid, this bowl of wine is a toast from your elder brother."
"If you hadn't saved Huai'an from Cao Cao's army, where would I have found such a good strategist?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed, "You should have said so earlier! You scared me to death!!"
Zhang Fei was relieved, took the wine bowl from Liu Bei's hand, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
After Zhang Fei finished drinking,
Liu Bei then spoke seriously:
"Considering this is your first offense and that you have indeed performed a great service, I will only punish you by making you write a self-criticism."
If this happens again, both offenses will be punished.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei's arm and said gently, "Go on, relax with the soldiers tonight, but you must get back to work tomorrow."
"Thank you, brother!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed and quickly bowed. Then he picked up the wine jar and ran into the crowd.
Watching Zhang Fei's carefree figure disappear into the distance, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile.
After a moment, he turned to look at Lu Yong and said:
"Strategist, starting tomorrow, you will be in full charge of the newly recruited soldiers."
"You can make your own decisions regarding recruitment, training, and provisions; you don't need to consult me."
Lu Yong cupped his hands and said, "I will certainly not fail my lord's trust."
[System Log: The host has successfully obtained the right to train the new army from Liu Bei. Today's achievement +1.]
[Current Achievements Pending Settlement: 2 item.]
"Two achievements!" Lu Yong was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "Will there be more good stuff tonight?"
At midnight, a system notification sounded.
[Host's achievements for today:]

Results: Training effectiveness improved by 20%, training cycle shortened by 30%, and morale boosted by 30%.
The item has been automatically equipped, and its current attributes have been updated.
The moment the affix is equipped,
A wealth of knowledge and details about military training immediately flooded into Lu Yong's mind.
It was as if he had already trained thousands of troops.
"Not bad, with this entry, I can say I really understand how to train troops..." Lu Yong's lips curled up slightly.
He then allocated all his free attribute points to his physique.
Health is the foundation of everything; without good health, everything else is meaningless.
……
The next morning, Lu Yong got up very early.
He found Liu Bei, took a sum of money, and then, with a few soldiers, arrived at the gate of Tancheng.
He had several tables and desks set up.
Hang up a big flag,
The inscription reads: "Liu Bei Recruits Soldiers".
Within half an hour of the flag being hung up, a crowd of onlookers had gathered.
A tall, thin man walked hesitantly to the table and asked, "Do you provide enough food for your recruits?"
Lu Yong replied with a smile, "Two bushels of rice per month, plus two hundred coins."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves.
To know,
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as a fixed military pay.
"Serving in the army means receiving a salary," that's exactly what it means.
Most feudal lords were lucky if they could just get a meal when recruiting soldiers.
Give them money?
Dream on!
Joining Liu Bei's army not only meant receiving food, but also money.
What kind of god-like figure is this?
"Really? Is it a scam?" Sure enough, someone questioned.
Lu Yong pointed to the large banner behind him and said, "General Liu Xuande's banner is right here; he would never deceive the villagers."
Anyone aged 18 to 40, with no physical disability and a clean background, is eligible to apply.
Before Lu Yong could finish speaking,
A burly man immediately squeezed in and announced loudly, "I'll give it a try!"
"Please state your name and place of origin so we can register you," Lu Yong said with a smile.
Xu Sheng, courtesy name Wenxiang, was a native of Ju County, Langya Commandery.
"Grip exercise???"
