Liu Heng originally wanted to use it on Zhang Fei as well. Liu Bei's trick to rope Zhang Fei in was to become sworn brothers.
Unfortunately, Liu Heng was still too young. It would be a little ridiculous if he really wanted to become sworn brothers with someone else, so he gave up the idea!
Ever since Zhang Fei came to Longhu Villa, Liu Heng had two generals under him. In addition, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei each led a few guards.
Liu Heng finally didn't have to personally bow to him. He finally had some free time!
During this period of time, when Tong Yuan asked them to learn martial arts, they also began to learn the art of war. They had to learn the three strategies and six strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and everything else.
Although it was a little boring, it also gave Liu Heng a full understanding of the army of this era!
Through studying the art of war, Liu Heng felt that his subordinates were still lacking in some areas, so he had to retrain them.
However, the biggest problem was that these people had never been on the battlefield personally, so they did not have any killing intent.
In other words, these people had never seen blood before. Through his own experience, Liu Heng knew that true elite soldiers had to pass the test of war.
No matter how good the training was during normal times, it might not be the same on the battlefield!
If history followed the path he knew, the next year would be the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In order to gain huge benefits in this war, Liu Heng first needed a powerful military force.
Obviously, these people were not worthy of this title!
Therefore, in order to cultivate their killing intent, Liu Heng decided to bring them to fight!
It was easy to kill people in Youzhou Province. They could just take him to the northern grassland!
However, Liu Heng was worried that these people had not experienced the battlefield and were not a match for the people from the grasslands. Therefore, he decided to eliminate some mountain bandits first and slowly cultivate their killing intent!
Of course, Liu Heng's current official position was not qualified for that. Therefore, he asked Liu Yan for instructions. He said that for the stability of Youzhou, he had decided to eliminate those thieves!
Liu Yan had received a lot of benefits from Liu Heng in the past year, so she was already full!
Moreover, exterminating the bandits was also beneficial to him. He could earn a lot of political achievements, so he waved his hand and agreed!
He even got someone to equip Liu Heng's men with some weapons from the border army! Of course, he still had to pay for this!
For Liu Heng, as long as it was a problem solved by potential, it was not a problem!
One had to know that in the past year, he had not only produced white wine and glass. He was an official of the Salt and Iron Special Administration.
He had also opened a weapons workshop in Longhu Villa, specializing in the production of weapons!
Of course, the public was advertising that it was a blacksmith shop that only produced some farm tools for some farmers!
In fact, Liu Heng knew some craftsmen who had produced quite a few weapons that were only available in the future. Of course, this was referring to cold weapons!
The equipment of Liu Heng and the others was even better than the equipment of the imperial court's northern army!
After all, not everyone in the northern army had armor!
The armor of Liu Heng's ordinary soldier was also made of steel! It was even better than the equipment of some generals!
After Liu Heng received Liu Yan's permission, he began to sweep away the mountain bandits in Youzhou!
Liu Heng's caravans were spread all over the country, and he knew the situation in Youzhou like the back of his hand.
Liu Heng naturally knew where the bandits were! Without waiting for the bandits to react, Liu Heng led his 2,000-strong army into the bandits 'lair!
Most of these mountain bandits were commoners who had no way out. Even if they became mountain bandits, they could barely make ends meet.
After all, Youzhou was a place that lived on the border. The people were tough. In addition, the people were relatively poor, so there was nothing to rob.
Therefore, when faced with Liu Heng and his men who were as strong as bulls and armed to the teeth, most of the bandits surrendered obediently!
Besides, they had also heard of Liu Heng's reputation as a great philanthropist. If they surrendered to him, they might even be able to live a good life!
Why did he still insist on fighting to the death with the other party?
Although there were some real bandits, they were extremely ferocious and valiant. They bravely charged at Liu Heng's army!
In the past, they had committed all kinds of evil deeds. They knew that if they were really exterminated, Liu Heng would not let them off with his reputation and position!
Therefore, it was better to fight bravely! Of course, their bravery was not effective. Not only were the soldiers in Liu Heng's army well-trained, but there were also peerless generals like Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei. How could these insignificant minions threaten Liu Heng?
Liu Heng started to feel a little depressed! How was this exterminating mountain bandits? This was simply taking in refugees!
Initially, Liu Heng wanted to train his subordinates by eliminating the bandits, but who knew that most of them had surrendered.
He had only experienced a few real battles! Moreover, Liu Heng wanted to make a small fortune by exterminating the bandits!
After all, the bandits were doing business without capital, so they should have a lot of money. However, Liu Heng found that other than a few places, most of the bandits were poor and did not have much money.
The money he earned from raiding the bandits was not even as much as the cost of sending troops!
It was equivalent to him making a losing deal!
Moreover, although his subordinates had not really experienced many battles, they were flustered and made many mistakes in these few battles.
Although no one died in the end, many people were injured because of panic! This made Liu Heng extremely depressed! What was going on!
Moreover, most of these bandits had surrendered. Liu Heng still had to arrange their lives from now on.
After all, they were all Han Chinese, so they couldn't just kill them! Fortunately, Liu Heng lacked everything except money. Arranging these bandits would be beneficial to him. At least he would have more subordinates!
He was not afraid of having too many subordinates! Moreover, through these bandits, he could let Liu Heng know the shortcomings of his troops. It was still very beneficial!
Thus, even though it was a loss to exterminate the bandits, Liu Heng still persevered!
His army continued to move out, sweeping away all the mountain bandits in Youzhou.
All the mountain bandits in Youzhou were wiped out! The governance of Youzhou was also invigorated, and the common people praised the great philanthropist Liu for doing another great deed.
Even the bandits who had surrendered praised Liu Heng for giving them a chance to live a peaceful life!
Liu Heng's reputation in Youzhou Province had also improved a lot!
Furthermore, after exterminating these mountain bandits, Liu Yan gave Liu Heng the position of a bandit commander in recognition of his achievements.
This kind of official position could already be considered as a military officer, which meant that Liu Heng could now openly own some troops!
Although he had to pay for these troops himself! But he was also very willing! As for the title of lieutenant…
Liu Heng also knew that Liu Yan had made a huge bet. One had to know that before the world was truly in chaos.
Amongst the generals, a lieutenant was already an intermediate military officer! This era was not like the Three Kingdoms era, where generals were everywhere!
Therefore, in order to thank Liu Yan, he gave Liu Yan another big gift! It was the glass cup that his glass workshop had just produced.
This was already a rare treasure in this era! Although it didn't cost Liu Heng much money, it made Liu Yan extremely happy!
However, in order to curry favor with the Emperor, he had also sent a set to Liu Hong. Of course, the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court were not indispensable!
