Early the next morning, Tian Feng and Le Jin led two hundred elite cavalry of the Liaodong Army to the south. Li Bai turned around and returned to his tent as he watched the two of them leave.
" Boyong, go and call all the generals over," Li Bai said to Guan Hai beside him.
Guan Hai nodded and turned to leave.
After a while, Ju Yi, Gongsun Du, and Zhang He all came to Li Bai's tent." My lord!"
" Mm." Li Bai nodded.
Looking at everyone, Li Bai nodded again, causing the generals to be somewhat puzzled. Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Li Bai finally opened his mouth and said to everyone,"Suyi, later on, you will select those strong captives and form them into an army. You and Duke Yi will be responsible for training them. However, before the training, you have to let the professor teach them for two days. After that, they have to attend classes for four hours every night. You have to train them into elite soldiers in the shortest time possible.”
" Don't worry, my lord. The two of us will not disappoint you," the two of them stood up and replied to Li Bai.
Li Bai nodded and then said,"Ju Yi, Li Dian, you two will be responsible for the safety of the camp before Mister Yuan Hao comes back. Also, don't neglect the training of the soldiers."
"Yes, my lord."
"Gongsun Du, you are in charge of expanding our cavalry to 10,000 men. You can recruit soldiers from the local area or choose from the captives. You will also be in charge of their training."
"Yes, my lord."
" Boyong, you are in charge of selecting loyal and brave people to supplement the Tiger Guards. In addition, expand the Tiger Guards to 1000 people," Li Bai said to Guan Hai with a smile.
Guan Hai saw that Li Bai still had a mission for him and immediately said happily," Don't worry, my lord. I won't disappoint you."
" Oh, right, I have some training methods here. Generals, you can take them for reference. Boyong, go and distribute them to them," Li Bai said to the others. Then he asked Guan Hai to distribute the slightly thick papers to the generals.
" Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave," Li Bai said.
"The generals received the training method that Li Bai had given them. Then, they bowed to Li Bai, turned around, and walked out.
" Suyi, look at the training methods written by my lord. I've never heard of them before," Ju Yi said to Zhang He when he arrived at his tent at night.
Zhang He shook his head and said,"I've never heard of these methods before." He then smiled bitterly.
" Then this…" Ju Yi waved the training method in his hand in front of Zhang He. His meaning was self-evident." Should we train the soldiers according to the lord's method?"
Zhang He also understood what Ju Yi meant. He thought for a moment and said to Ju Yi,"General Ju, when have you ever seen our lord speak nonsense?" Ju Yi was also stunned when he heard Zhang He's words." Juyi, don't tell anyone else about this. Otherwise, those Tiger Guards will be…" Ju Yi didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he looked at Zhang He expectantly.
Zhang He was also stunned. He smiled bitterly and said,"" General Ju, what are you talking about? Actually, I really want to know how my lord taught those Tiger Guards and soldiers to be like this." Since Li Bai's ideology was taught to the whole army, those soldiers had regarded Li Bai as a god. Additionally, those Tiger Guards were more loyal to Li Bai than those soldiers. As long as they heard anyone badmouthing Li Bai, they would dare to fight him no matter who he was.
" Why don't we take advantage of the free time these few days to listen to how the military professors teach? I think I heard that those military professors were the students that the lord taught back then," Ju Yi suggested.
Zhang He nodded. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
The same thing happened to the other generals, but they all trained their soldiers according to Li Bai's training manual.
After two days, the two of them had selected 40,000 strong soldiers. The two of them had nothing to do for the time being, because after the selection, they still had to teach the professors first before they started training.
Two days of lessons passed by in a flash. After they finished training the soldiers, they went to Zhang He's tent. Zhang He brought them the wine that Li Bai had given them. It was still Lao Bai Gan. Although it was only 40 degrees Celsius, it was much better than the rice wine they used to drink. Although Li Bai stipulated that they should not get drunk, the two of them still drank very comfortably.
"Suyi, what do you think is going on with the lord's education of the soldiers? It seems to be quite useful!" After a few rounds of drinking, Ju Yi spoke first.
Zhang He raised his head and downed a bowl of wine in one gulp. Then, he nodded and said,""Indeed. On the first day, the surrendered soldiers were extremely lazy. I only felt better after severely punishing a few of the leaders. However, after a few days, the mental state of these surrendered soldiers had changed greatly. Many times, they would take the initiative to do additional training, and their morale had become very high!”
"I really don't know how my lord did it? Yiyi, those professors should be in class now. Why don't we go and take a look? Anyway, we agreed on it that day."
Zhang He's eyes lit up." I have the same idea." Let's go now."
The two of them immediately stood up and headed to the school grounds.
As soon as they arrived at the place where the soldiers were having lessons, the two of them saw a scene that surprised them. Tens of thousands of soldiers were waving their arms and shouting at the professors on the stage,"I swear my loyalty to my lord! I swear my loyalty to my lord!" His voice was so loud that it could make people faint!
Looking at the fanatical expressions on everyone's faces, the two of them could not help but look at each other in shock. To be able to make the army loyal to such an extent was truly unimaginable.
The two of them were curious, so they quietly squatted down at the back. They wanted to see what the gentleman on the stage was talking about.
At this moment, a few soldiers who had noticed Zhang He's actions quietly left, heading straight for Li Bai's tent.
Four hours later, the education ended.
"Ziyi, what do you think?" Ju Yi asked Zhang He blankly.
Zhang He was also at a loss. He shook his head and then nodded." I don't know." But I think the professors are right.”
Ju Yi nodded. Our race is the most outstanding race in the world. Everything in the world should be controlled by us! Ever since Emperor Huan, the other races have been constantly harassing our borders, yet he favors the crafty officials and doesn't think of making progress. The Spirit Emperor is even more so, truly bringing shame to our race! The lord was born according to the heavenly omen and will definitely regain his glory!”，As he spoke, Ju Yi's expression became as excited as those soldiers.
Zhang He had more questions on his mind. He had a vague feeling that his lord was up to something else, but he also felt that what his teacher said was very reasonable, so his mind was in a mess and he was dizzy.
"Yiyi, why don't we come back tomorrow?”
Zhang He nodded." Alright." There's something I don't understand and I'm going to ask the professor.”
Just like that, he trained the soldiers during the day and attended classes with the soldiers at night. It continued until Tian Feng and Le Jin returned from Luoyang.
Under their training and the education of the professors, the surrendered soldiers began to look like elite soldiers.
