The Rising Storm in the Capital
It was said that Wu Jun had displayed his might in the drill ground of the military camp and had defeated Xu Huang with three arrows. After arranging for the two newly appointed commandants to reorganize the troops, Wu Jun pulled his second brother Zhao Yun, third brother Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yu back to the Guard Commandery to welcome Xu Huang.
According to his memories of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Jun knew that the traitor Dong Zhuo would depose the Young Emperor in September 189 AD and appoint Prince Chen Liu as the new emperor, Emperor Xian of Han. He knew that history didn't have much time left for him. If he wanted to make a difference in September this year, he had to first improve the combat effectiveness of his current soldiers. Otherwise, if these " stragglers " were to fight head-on with Dong Zhuo's strong Western Liang soldiers, it would be like " using eggs to hit a rock." Moreover, Dong Zhuo wouldn't make any big moves during this period of time. Therefore, in the next two months, besides attending court and patrolling, Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang would put their attention on the training and construction of the army. During the day, the four of them were busy with military training. Wu Jun first used the simplest method to reorganize the soldiers into a small team of five, and the captain was called a sergeant. Two teams of five were called a team, and the captain was called a captain. Ten squads were a soldier, and the captain was the commander. Soldiers were the most fundamental structure of the Han Dynasty army.
Wu Jun removed about a hundred old, weak, and sick people from the remaining 2,100 people and divided the remaining 2,000 people into three teams. They were led by Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao respectively, with Xu Huang, Wu Fu, and Li Hu as their deputy generals. These three deputies were diligent and conscientious, and they had helped Wu Jun and his two brothers greatly. Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, in particular, had improved the fastest. After working under Wu Jun for nearly a month, their performance in all aspects had improved by leaps and bounds, especially in martial arts and military strategy. Xu Huang had displayed his talent as one of Cao Aman's Five Great Generals, becoming the third Great General after Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao. When Wu Jun saw that Xu Huang was able to take charge of the army, he once again messed up the organization of the army and divided it into four divisions. Each division had an average of 500 people. The highest commander of the entire army was Wu Jun, and the captains of the four divisions were naturally Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang. In each team of 500 people, Wu Jun selected 100 people with slightly weaker physical strength or slightly older people from each team to serve as the logistics force of his team. Among the remaining 400 people, there were 150 cavalrymen, 100 archers, 75 spearmen, and 75 shieldmen. In fact, Wu Jun really had to thank the Butcher General, He Jin. He Jin had relied on his sister, Empress He, to keep a large number of armaments and horses in his army. Now, it was Wu Jun's turn to benefit. This allowed him to form a cavalry of 150 out of 400 people.
Wu Jun also asked the three generals to train and live together with the soldiers.(After all the soldiers rested at night, Wu Jun left Wu Fu and Li Hu to guard them. Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang took turns to leave one person in the camp every night to guard the camp, in case of any military changes or enemy attacks. The other three went to patrol and guard the palace. This was conducive to cultivating team spirit. Of course, the amount of training they had was much greater. Sometimes, Wu Jun would join the soldiers for training. Just like that, Wu Jun's 2,000 men had basically achieved the requirement of 'soldiers know soldiers, soldiers know generals' after being reorganized twice. This laid a solid foundation for the future of the Wu Family Army. In many ancient armies, due to the large number of soldiers, many soldiers did not know who their comrades were. In many cases, they could only identify them by their clothes or color. It was easy for the enemy to "fish in troubled waters and pass them off as the real ones". Moreover, if their commander was killed by the enemy, the entire team would become a chaotic scene where they would be unable to organize an effective attack, resulting in a situation where they would be defeated and could only let the enemy kill them one-sidedly.
Wu Jun referred to his own training methods in his previous life, General Li Mu's training methods in the "Wu An Will", as well as some military training that his master Zuo Ci had taught him in the Holy Mountain. Every morning at 11:00 (11:00 in ancient times was equivalent to 05:00 to 07:00 in Beijing time in the future), they had to get up and run 10 kilometers in the military camp within two hours. After that, they would gradually reduce the time and increase the load. Then, they would rest for 15 minutes and eat breakfast. Wu Jun even changed the "two-meal system" of the Three Kingdoms period to "three-meal system" to strengthen the soldiers 'physique. After the meal, they rested for an hour, followed by an hour of practice of saber techniques and spear techniques, followed by lunch. After the meal, they rested for an hour.(The end of the ancient era was equivalent to 13:00 to 15:00 Beijing time in the future) They would first practice the array formation for two hours. After that, they would be required to do 500 push-ups, 200 weight-bearing squats, and frog jumps for one kilometer. After that, they would be able to move freely. At night, when the sun set (equivalent to 18:00 Beijing time in the future), they would have dinner. After 6:30, Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang would teach the soldiers some simple and practical martial arts such as saber techniques, spear techniques, and halberd techniques. After they had finished with their saber, spear, and halberd techniques, they would start teaching them how to read and some basic military tactics. At night, at 11:00 (11:00 in ancient times was equivalent to 21:00 to 23:00 in Beijing time in the future), he went to bed on time.
At that time, the imperial court was responsible for providing rations, weapons, and armor. The soldiers did not receive any salary. Low-level officers had a small amount of salary, mostly in kind. There was also a small amount of money, which included food and clothes. At the same time, soldiers of different ranks ate different food. Wu Jun took out half of the gold and cloth that the Young Emperor and Prince Chen Liu had given to the three brothers and exchanged them for silver. Not only did he give them a salary of 500 baht per month, but he also provided them with refined food and meat every day to ensure that they had good physical strength. At the same time, the only explanation that could be given to them was that they would sweat more during training and bleed less during war. After they were injured during training, Wu Jun personally helped them heal. With Wu Jun's title as a 'little divine doctor', such a small injury was simply child's play to him.
In these two months, the four of them had been resting for one day every ten days, just like all the soldiers. There would be a martial arts competition every ten days, and the top ten would be rewarded handsomely. The last ten would be given two breaks and undergo "special tutoring". Wu Jun's top 15 soldiers in each of the four teams would form 60 personal guards, and his own personal guards would have 10. 10 of Zhao Yun's personal guards, 10 of Zhang Liao's personal guards, and 10 of Zhang Liao's personal guards. Xu Huang had 10 personal guards, and the remaining 10 were the personal guards of the " Guard Commandery ". They were responsible for protecting the " Guard Commandery " and Zhao Yu's safety after training every day. The replacement of the personal guards had to be tested and passed by Wu Jun and the other three. Every ten days, Wu Jun would organize four teams to compete with each other, such as offensive confrontation, defensive confrontation, and offensive and defensive conversion confrontation. In the past two months, there had been eight team competitions. Wu Jun's team had won a total of three offensive competitions, three defensive competitions, and three offensive and defensive conversion competitions. Zhao Yun's team had won two championships in offense, one in defense, and two in switching between offense and defense. Zhang Liao's team had won two championships in offensive confrontation, two championships in defensive confrontation, and two championships in offensive and defensive conversion confrontation. The team that Xu Huang belonged to had won a total of one offensive confrontation, two defensive confrontations, and one offensive and defensive conversion confrontation. From this, it could be seen that the army led and trained by Wu Jun himself had shown outstanding combat effectiveness in offensive confrontation, defensive confrontation, and offensive and defensive conversion confrontation. Zhao Yun's soldiers were more focused on offense and guerrilla warfare. The soldiers that Zhang Liao and Xu Huang belonged to were more focused on defense and offense, but Zhang Liao's leadership level and ability were slightly higher than Xu Huang's.
