Transmigration begins with archery training

It will only truly take effect after you've reached several levels of bone-training.

When passing by the horse farm

It was unusually lively inside.

On the open field, about two hundred people were training cavalry battle formations.

To conquer a grassland tribe, you need horses.

For this, Xiang Tingchun spent a lot of time and effort recently.

He extorted money from the martial arts school to buy horses, then went to the guard command in the prefecture to ask for more, and with the support of the Ministry of War, he actually managed to get nearly three hundred warhorses.

However, the warhorses were all distributed to the veterans and trusted confidants of the thousand-household garrison.

Luo Dongquan, Feng Yong, and Zhao Kang.

All three of their subordinates were converted into cavalry.

……

After passing through the horse farm, you will arrive at another large training ground for group training.

[Skill: Commanding Troops (Beginner)]

【Progress: 133/500】

[Effect: Backbone]

I've been leaving the game running for over half a month, and the progress has only increased this much.

Chen Sanshi deliberately stayed away, watching their drills from a distance.

Xu Wencai was so angry that his face turned red.

Many people surrounded him and started jeering.

"Old man, you don't even know basic stance training, yet you want to boss us around? Get lost."

Wu Da led the group, and they all burst into laughter.

"I've heard of you before; you studied your whole life but never passed the imperial examination!"

"He's such an unfilial son. He's got hands and feet, why should his mother support him?"

"I really don't know what use Commander Chen has for you!"

"..."

"You... you..."

Xu Wencai didn't argue, but simply held a scroll and pointed at the scarred man: "This is a military order! Lord Chen said it himself, I'm here to train your formations, do you dare disobey a military order?!"

"Wu Da, stop fooling around."

Zhao Qiao added, "We must do whatever Lord Chen tells us to do."

After spending a long time in the military camp, they gradually became more disciplined and began to address Chen Sanshi by his full name, such as "Sir" or "Commander Chen."

"Don't try to scare me!"

With a gentle push, Wu Da sent the old scholar sprawling to the ground: "You sycophant, you must have misled Lord Chen!"

"boom--"

A long stick swept across and slammed into his leg.

Wu Da felt excruciating pain in both legs and collapsed to his knees with a thud.

"Who?!"

He angrily raised his head, only to see a long spear made of reeds, and immediately wilted: "Lord Shi... what brings you here?"

"Wu Da!"

Chen Sanshi said expressionlessly, "Do you think you're amazing because you're the first person in this group to practice blood cultivation?"

"My lord, what makes you say that?"

Wu Da looked frightened: "I didn't have that thought."

Chen Sanshi narrowed his eyes: "If you didn't have that thought, then what were you doing just now?"

Why is his skill level increasing so slowly?

It turns out it only applies when he's not around.

Each of them then practiced their own technique.

He truly listens to what he says, but the person he appoints to manage things may not be willing to listen.

This is not okay.

The military is an institution.

How can he manage without someone to help him?

What happened with Zhao Jin last time taught them about military discipline.

Today, we must tell them that military orders are absolute.

"grown ups."

Wu Da swallowed hard and pointed at the old scholar: "He knows nothing. How can you let him teach us military formations?"

"Whether he understands military formations or not is up to me or you!"

Chen Sanshi said slowly and deliberately, "Wu Da, I'll give you two choices: one, apologize and accept the punishment; two, go home and go hunting."

"Sir, please don't send me away!"

Wu Da panicked and quickly admitted his mistake: "I apologize and accept punishment, I apologize and accept punishment!"

"Zhu Tong! Drag him away and give him twenty lashes!"

Chen Sanshi gave the order.

Of all the people, Zhu Tong was the most obedient to him.

Zhu Tong was also unconvinced by Xu Wencai.

However, he said that if Xu Wencai were to train the troops, Zhu Tong would comply.

"it is good!"

Without saying a word, Zhu Tong ordered two men to drag Wu Da away to be punished.

"Those who joined in the commotion earlier, it's the same for them—either be punished or get out!"

Chen Sanshi said in a deep voice, "Listen carefully, from now on, if anyone is dissatisfied or has any objections to my appointments, they can come to me to complain. But anyone who causes trouble in private will be severely punished!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded.

They all shared the same thought.

They knew that Wu Da had gone hunting in the mountains with Chen Baihu and had known him for a long time. They admired him even more for the fact that he was punished for doing something wrong.

"Xu Wencai, Zhao Qiao, you two come with me."

Chen Sanshi led them to a secluded spot, took out a silver ingot and handed it to Zhao Qiao: "Uncle Zhao, buy some wound medicine for Wu Da later. Don't tell him it's from me; he needs to learn his lesson."

"it is good."

Zhao Qiao left with the silver, saying, "He really deserved to be beaten; he's been incredibly arrogant these past few days."

"grown ups."

Xu Wencai was moved to tears: "Thank you so much, sir."

"If this happens again, just come to me."

Chen Sanshi patted him on the shoulder: "But let me make this clear to you, if they all listen and do as they say, but you don't understand how to train them properly, you'll only be able to do menial tasks in the future."

"Don't worry, sir!"

Xu Wencai swore, "As long as they listen to me, there will definitely be no problem."

"Well, let's go."

Chen Sanshi told him to leave.

He wasn't a demanding person, but he understood the principle that a kind heart cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot manage finances.

An army without iron discipline will never amount to anything.

Back then, Xiao He chased after Han Xin under the moon.

It was actually quite difficult for Liu Bang to suddenly entrust Han Xin, who was still relatively unknown, with such an important task.

Therefore, Chen Sanshi needs to cultivate in advance the respect and obedience of his subordinates for his personnel appointments.

Of course, he also has to make the right judgment.

Whether Xu Wencai is a mule or a horse, a single test will reveal all.

"Old Chen."

Xiong Baihu came over: "Come on, Lord Qianhu has a task to give us."

Chinese army camp.

On the table in the middle is a newly made sand table, and behind the main seat hangs a map.

Apart from Feng Yong, who was inspecting the Great Wall, all eight centurions of the Thousand-Household Office were summoned together.

"Everyone is here."

Xiang Tingchun was in high spirits and addressed the crowd, saying, "I and the Ministry of War have decided to send troops out after April, at the end of March."

"At that time, the Anding Prefecture Guard will not only send a thousand men to strengthen the border defense, but also promised to add an extra five hundred men to help!"

"Plus two hundred martial arts school disciples."

"Our thousand-household garrison will have as many as 1,600 available personnel at that time."

"The Xihe tribe has two thousand people, but their bone-training martial artists are far inferior to ours. The scattered tribes are not familiar with military formations, and since they have not invaded the border for six years, they must be slacking off in battle."

"Therefore, we have a very high chance of winning."

"But war is not child's play; the above intelligence is from two years ago."

"Before formally formulating the conquest strategy, I need three small teams to form night scouts to scout out the enemy's situation and verify intelligence."

No collection at night.

It can be understood as a scout.

However, entering enemy territory alone is often more dangerous than for ordinary scouts.

Basically, it can be said that once exposed, there is a very high probability that they will be sacrificed.
