"Hello, sir."
Seeing Zhao Lin and Sudi appear, head coach Shen Yuan quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Zhao Lin nodded and saluted in return.
Every time I see Shen Yuan saluting in ancient costume, it feels a bit funny.
As his most core force in the future, Zhao Lin naturally wanted someone he could trust to look after them.
Although Shen Yuanli is still a long way from becoming Zhao Lin's truly trusted confidant, there is no other suitable candidate except him.
Besides, Shen Yuan and his son Shen Huai are here, as are their relatives and friends.
So Shen Yuan is barely qualified to be the head coach.
It doesn’t matter whether he can train soldiers or not.
Anyway, Zhao Lin can do it himself.
Every time, Zhao Lin would teach Shen Yuan, and then Shen Yuan would go to train those people.
"What happened?" Zhao Lin asked.
Shen Yuan said excitedly: "The training method given by the Lord is really wonderful. These young men have been reborn. Even the elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are no better than them."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "We are still a long way from the Zhenbei Army."
Sudi interrupted, "I've seen the Zhenbei Army with my own eyes. Except for the few thousand soldiers of Zhao Jingzhou, the others are no match for us."
Zhao Lin said: "That's the case on the surface, but there's still one step missing."
"What?"
Sudi and Shen Yuan were both curious.
"Blood!"
Zhao Lin said: "Without experiencing the trials and tribulations of blood and fighting, even the most elite troops are only elite in appearance, and are far from being truly elite."
Shen Yuan nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right. But where can we fight here?"
Zhao Lin laughed and said, "What's the reason for pulling them out?"
Sudi's eyes lit up: "Strike hard against bandits and suppress rebels."
"good."
Zhao Lin said, "Those bandits robbed the people and committed heinous crimes. In the past, I had no soldiers under my command and could do nothing to them. But now, hmph."
Eliminating bandits not only stabilizes the people, but also allows us to obtain the bandits' property.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Shen Yuan excitedly asked, "Sir, can you let me lead the troops?"
"No, I want to lead the troops myself." Zhao Lin said.
There will be a lot of wars in the future.
Zhao Lin must familiarize himself with the battlefield as soon as possible.
"The target has been selected, it's the bandits from Niutou Mountain in Huayun County. Gather!" Zhao Lin said.
Shen Yuan immediately issued the order to assemble.
Immediately afterwards, 4,500 people quickly gathered and stood in front of Zhao Lin.
The four thousand people were divided into four columns, each with one thousand people.
There are 100 people in each row, arranged in 40 rows.
There were also 500 cavalrymen beside them.
Looking at the queue of 4,500 people, Zhao Lin showed satisfaction.
These people are the foundation of my foothold in this strange world.
"A lecture." Zhao Lin said.
Shen Yuan held a special loudspeaker-like object and shouted loudly: "Whose food are you eating?"
The soldiers shouted in unison: "Master Zhao!"
"Whose water did you drink?"
"Master Zhao!"
"Whose wages are you taking?"
"Master Zhao!"
"Who are you working for?"
"Master Zhao!"
"What are you going to do?"
"For Master Zhao, I will go through fire and water, even death!"
The voices were in unison, filled with anger. Even Sudi's expression changed slightly as he muttered to himself, "Zhao Lin, did you really train these soldiers just to deal with Zhao Jingzhou?"
Shen Yuan handed the loudspeaker to Zhao Lin and said, "Please speak, sir."
Zhao Lin picked up the loudspeaker with satisfaction and said, "My fellow comrades, my friends, I, Zhao Lin, don't speak empty words. Follow me, and you'll enjoy the good life. I, Zhao Lin, will never keep all the glory to myself."
The officers and soldiers cheered loudly: "Master Zhao!"
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to train an army and a single day to deploy it. You've trained for four months, and it's cost me tens of thousands of taels of silver. Today is the day to test whether you're worth those tens of thousands of taels of silver. Bring the men up here."
Several soldiers came over, pushing two people over.
"We are just merchants passing through. You can't do this to us."
"I'm going to sue you."
The two men struggled desperately.
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Don't pretend. You are the secret guards of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Were you sent by Zhao Chenhan to monitor me?"
The two were shocked.
One of them said, "Master Zhao, you've got the wrong person."
Zhao Lin grinned and said, "It doesn't matter whether you recognize me or not. Have you seen my soldiers?"
The two of them took a look at the queue of 4,500 people.
They were all full of energy and fighting spirit, standing there like spears pointing straight into the sky, which made both of them change their expressions drastically.
"The secret guards of the Zhenbei Marquisate were all Zhao Jingzhou's personal soldiers and had fought on the battlefield."
Zhao Lin said slowly, "Tell me, are my 4,500 soldiers equal to Zhao Jingzhou's 5,000 personal troops?"
The two remained silent.
One of them suddenly shouted, "Zhao Lin, you want to rebel."
Zhao Lin snorted coldly and said, "You are stubborn and unyielding. Cut down the sacrificial flag and pray for our army to go to battle."
Immediately, four men came over, two grabbed one, dragged the two secret guards in front of the 4,500 people, and chopped off their heads with a "whoosh".
The blood spurting from the neck cavity made these people's faces red.
Zhao Lin waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Niutou Mountain is located in Huayun County, in the heart of Qingzhou.
Niutou Mountain is shaped like an ox's head. It is not high, only four or five hundred meters, but it is rugged and difficult to walk on. There is only one small path to go up.
A group of bandits occupied Niutou Mountain, under the banner of robbing the rich to help the poor. The bandit leader, Niu Dadan, called himself Niu Tianwang. He had a bad temper but was loyal. He had four to five hundred men under his command, as well as a military advisor, dozens of sets of leather armor, swords and guns, and several bows and arrows. There were dozens of people at each of the two Niujiao stations to support each other.
