"Di Zi, this subordinate doesn't understand. Why do you want those soldiers to be literate?”Regarding the matter of teaching the soldiers to read, Wang Lun went to find Liu Cheng alone that day. He had a respectful expression and asked for advice in confusion.
"If we rebel in the future, do you think the talents we cultivate ourselves are more reliable or those scholars?”Liu Cheng glanced at Wang Lun and asked indifferently.
Wang Lun was stunned. Then, he pondered for a moment with a solemn expression. Finally, he sighed and said,"Di Zi is truly far-sighted. This subordinate understands. This subordinate will do his best to complete this matter and nurture talents that belong to us.”
Just like that, in the village, every night, the lights would reach the sky, and there would be an additional sound of reading. Among them, Wang Lun was the teacher. The soldiers felt that studying was more painful than training and almost drove them crazy. However, with Liu Cheng's prestige, other than complaining endlessly, they could only sit still in the face of danger and focus on learning how to read.
This was because those who failed the assessment would be expelled from the army. Among them, Liu Cheng's personal guards were even stricter.
Time!
In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed. During this period, the reputation of Mount Liang had spread to some places at the foot of the mountain. There were also a few versions of the mystery of Liu Cheng. They were all related to myths. As a result, it was true and false, confusing people and making people scoff at it.
After all, as three months passed, the name of Mount Liang had flourished. Many strong people or refugees had been recruited into the mountain. The population was definitely mixed, and some things would inevitably be spread. Moreover, Mount Liang was not a closed place. It could not be self-sufficient behind closed doors. Therefore, if everyone needed something, they had to go down the mountain to buy it.
At the same time, this was also a form of promotion. This meant that the first stage of Liangshan's accumulation of strength was almost over. Therefore, if they wanted to take a step forward, they had to do something later.
For example, they could make a name for themselves, seize more wealth, recruit more soldiers, and occupy more territory. This was the right path for a faction to develop. If they were to go with the flow, they would be useless.
As a result, after three months of development, Liangshan now had a population of 1,231 people. Among them, 790 were men, and only 200 were women and children. They had about 300 strings of money and 100 stones of grain, including all kinds of meat.
As for the soldiers that could fight, Liu Cheng had 120 personal guards and Du Qian's 1st Battalion had 350 soldiers. Each of these soldiers was a hero who could fight against ten men. They had been trained by Liu Cheng and ate spiritual pills all day long. Not only were they aggressive, but they also had vigorous blood and Qi. They had all cultivated Internal Strength. In Jianghu, they could be said to be experts and no longer small fries.
Especially Liu Cheng's 120 personal guards. They were even more terrifying because they were young, generally only 15 years old, and their bodies had yet to fully develop. This way, they could be built even stronger. Therefore, they did not cultivate internal energy, but a body-refining divine art that Liu Chengchuan had left behind. Each of them had cultivated blood and qi, and now they were all Martial Apprentices who had cultivated their bodies.
The cultivation system of the burly man was below the Heroic Stage of the Aperture Condensing Realm. In fact, it didn't have a high requirement for the talent of the cultivator. After all, it was just to train the muscles, tendons, skin, bones, and internal organs. As long as he had enough pills, a good cultivation method, and was willing to work hard and spend more time, there would basically be no problem. Of course, those with peerless talent were strong and invincible among those at the same level. Those with ordinary talent were weak. This was also something that couldn't be helped.
Finally, when one reached the aperture condensation realm, the real difficulty would begin. It would test one's talent and foundation. Many people with poor talent would not advance an inch in their lives.
Of course, the cultivation technique that Liu Cheng had imparted to his personal guards was not the Red Emperor True Dragon Fist. Even if Liu Cheng was willing to impart this cultivation technique, they would not be able to cultivate it.
What he taught was just an ordinary cultivation technique. In the eyes of the burly men, it was an ordinary military fist technique. However, in this world, it was definitely not wrong to call it a divine technique.
Not only that, but Liu Cheng also led them to arrange their troops and train the army formation of the Song of Gale. It could be considered an experimental field.
A military formation had to be activated by blood essence, but not internal energy.
It was very difficult for internal energy to leave the body, unless one had cultivated the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Six Pulses Divine Sword. This was considered a kind of leaving the body.
However, the true separation was still at the Connate Realm. That was the release of true qi, and only then could it be possible to connect the army with true qi.
In short, Liu Cheng only wanted to understand the mysteries of the military formation so that he could control the army after returning to the Great Han Dynasty. Therefore, he trained his personal soldiers and created a military formation so that he could comprehend its mysteries. It was the most realistic thing to experience it personally, right?
If he wanted to conquer the world, it wouldn't be difficult for him to train hundreds of thousands of inner force experts. Therefore, military formations were a little overkill in this world.
If they really formed an army of 10,000 people, it would not be a problem for them to sweep the world.

On this day.
Outside Liangshan, a small boat was approaching. It broke the peace of the village and was discovered by the village guards from afar. In the end, the other party reported its name.
It turned out to be Song Wan, the King Kong of the Clouds, who had brought four people to join him.
Then, after Wang Lun asked Liu Cheng for permission, he went out to bring Song Wan and the other three into the stronghold.
At this moment, in the stronghold, the Red Night Hall was Liu Cheng's residence. It was also the place where the stronghold usually discussed major matters. The Hall of Righteousness was next to the Red Night Hall. It was a newly built place where other Jianghu heroes usually came to join. Therefore, in the Hall of Righteousness, Wang Lun and Du Qian were entertaining Song Wan and the others. After everyone drank a few bowls of wine, Wang Lun said,"Brother Song Wan, why did you come to our Liangshan?”
Hearing this, Song Wan gulped down a bowl of wine and said indignantly,""I am a villager from Dagang Village at the foot of the mountain. I usually like to wield my knife and stick, so I became a hunter. Just the day before yesterday, we were lucky enough to hunt a big insect. However, the son of the village chief insisted on taking it after he found out. This made me angry and beat him up. Later, that fellow threatened to take my life. I thought that the father and son had raised more than a dozen Jianghu experts to bully the villagers and had a good relationship with the chief of the county. Therefore, if they really wanted to take revenge, it would be easy to take my life. So I discussed with several brothers and thought of the wise and powerful King Liu Cheng who came to Liangshan on this mountain.”
