After Liu Tao's army expanded its troops, it did not go out hastily to fight, but instead carried out reorganization on Lu Nu's side and carried out basic training at the same time.

"I have to say that this is very convenient for servants to exist." Liu Tao sighed. He had received training, and the key was loyalty. Most of them were children from their families, that is, from their fathers or even their grandfathers generations, they were servants.

The loyalty cultivated since childhood is something that the soldiers recruited just now do not have. It can be said that even if they are asked to die, they can really die, let alone the training content arranged in daily life.

Even if the physical fitness cannot keep up, you have to climb the entire process. Such soldiers are definitely the ones that any general dreams of!

The shortcomings are also obvious. Their loyalty is not themselves. Liu Tao shook his head, and he could only be considered the "Second Sequence owner". As long as Zhang Fei, Zhongshan Zhang, Su and Zhen were ordered, most of the soldiers could betray him immediately without hesitation.

"Indeed, the army quickly gained combat effectiveness, and the running-in time was shorter..." Lu Yan also sighed. The Lu family was originally just a poor family, and of course now, so it is. His generation must be able to enter the court and become an official in order to be considered a family.

Because of Lu Zhi's personality, the family actually doesn't have much money, so there is naturally not much like a servant, and there is not even a single child in the family.

However, after seeing the servants of the three wealthy merchants in the Zhang family and Zhongshan County, they actually had the idea of ​​raising some servants.

"Sir!" A cavalry came over outside, "The letter sent to the General of the Northern Central Army has been sent, and the reply is here!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tao and Lu Yan's expressions changed suddenly. They quickly walked over and took the letter.

There were two letters of reply, one for Liu Tao and the other for Lu Yan. This was Lu Zhi. When he knew that Lu Yan was under Liu Tao's command, he wrote another letter, which was considered a letter from his family.

"I feel like you will be scolded..." Liu Tao teased.

"Who should I blame?" Lu Yan shook his head, "Forget it, Yan is already mentally prepared."

I first joined the militia just to make achievements and let my father take a good look, and I am also capable.

After he fooled Liu Tao and became a sworn brother in a mess. After knowing so many "secrets", his thoughts were already very different from the beginning. Now even if he knew, Lu Zhi had to scold him, he could face it calmly.

When I opened the letter from home, I saw that the previous few sentences were scolding, and I really didn't leave any affection. I used the turning point of "It's rare to be able to serve the court" as a turning point, and I praised it a few words. Liu Tao noticed that when Lu Yan saw this passage, he was like a chicken blood. His face turned cloudy and cloudy, but now it was completely clear, as if nothing had happened before.

Obviously, he had never been praised by Lu Zhi as much as he was at home before. As a child, he still hoped to be recognized by his parents.

In the end, it is necessary to report peace. Everything is safe and well-fed, well-dressed. I just hope that he will act cautiously and not be greedy for merit and advance recklessly. War is not a joke... I feel that this part of it takes up most of the space.

"It seems that the teacher is still worried about you." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"With that being said..." Lu Yan felt a little embarrassed, "I feel like I am the one who used to be an ignorant child, and I have to explain everything properly."

"Haha, in the eyes of any parent, the children are not the same. They used to be so doting in their arms." Liu Tao laughed. Yes, no matter what era, children will always be young and ignorant in the eyes of their parents.

"Not mentioning me, what's going on with you?" Lu Yan was obviously curious about the seal in Liu Tao's hand.

Liu Tao didn't know anything, so he opened the reply letter directly and found that there were two pages of paper inside, which was much more than Lu Yan's content.

The first page is basically a compliment. It is nothing more than saying that as a relative of the Han Dynasty, it is rare to stand up in the face of national crisis. He heard that his achievements along the way made him even more stunned. Unexpectedly, Liu Tao was still an excellent general.

The middle chapter starts to turn, then starts to scold, or suggest. It is recommended not to be complacent because of successive victories, and underestimate the enemy from now on. Be cautious when marching, don’t be greedy for merit and advance recklessly. Be careful when encountering mountains and forests, and have to investigate carefully before entering... Just this chapter takes up half of the content.

Finally, as a father, he hoped that Liu Tao would take good care of Lu Yan, and he was very grateful... Seeing this, Liu Tao pointed to the content of the letter and looked at Lu Yan. The latter shook his head and joked: "Father really underestimated me."

Liu Tao smiled faintly and opened the second page.

This time, he spoke in the identity and tone of "General of the North Central Army". He did not have much personal feelings. Instead, he ordered Liu Tao's troops to station in Zhongshan County and recover the counties of Zhongshan County with the conditions. He waited for his military orders, and then went south to Julu County to meet.

"I am worthy of being a teacher, but I actually saw through our plans." Liu Tao sighed.

"Maybe it's not the case, I just don't want us to take the risk of going south to Julu County." Lu Yan shook his head.

The military order was not compulsory when regaining the counties of Zhongshan County, which means it can be regained or not. However, the point of garrisoning Zhongshan County waiting for the military order was forced.

When will he go south, it is naturally when he waits for Lu Zhi's next military order to arrive. Without saying the specific time, Lu Yan believes that he should be called to him when Lu Zhi enters Julu County and forces the enemy to shrink his defense line and cannot divide his troops. To put it bluntly, this is a protective method to prevent them from going south.

"It's worthy of being a teacher..." Liu Tao sighed, "It's a completely win-win arrangement..."

Lu Zhi would rather work harder on his side than let Liu Tao lead his army south to restrain the attention of some Yellow Turban thieves and reduce the pressure of his own army. He took a step back and said that because of this, the generals who fought against the Yellow Turban thieves with Lu Zhi could earn enough merits. Liu Tao and the others would not have much resistance to joining each other in the future.

He then looked at Lu Yan and said, "This also means that although the battle situation on the front line is tense, there is no big risk. The subordinates who followed the teacher to fight should all regard this attack as an opportunity to earn merit."

If I remember correctly, Sun Jian was in Zhu Jun's army at that time, Cao Cao was in Huangfu Song's army, and Yuan Shao was in Lu Zhi's side. The three of them can be said to be the true up-and-coming stars of the Han Dynasty in recent times.

Speaking of which, where did Yuan Shu come from during this period? Could it be that he is the orthodox heir of the Yuan family, and his family thinks he can do it without taking risks and earning merits?

Compared with the performance of these big bulls in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and subsequent developments, Liu Bei in history was nothing. He finally got into a county magistrate, but was forced to hang a seal by the supervisor, and then wandered for several years.

He doesn't want to follow this old path, so he has to work harder and gain more fame and credit! He doesn't want a county magistrate, he must be a county magistrate, a real power county magistrate who can't even be able to do anything to the supervisor!

Perhaps Lu Zhi also felt this idea during his actions during this period, so he would allow him to recover the counties in Zhongshan County?

After all, the teacher is a teacher, and even if he has a little thought, he can't hide it from him...
