    "My lord, the execution time has come!" Ma Tao looked at the sun in the sky and said.

    "Okay, give the order!"

    "No!" Ma Tao saluted Liu Cong, then took his seat as the prisoner and executioner, grabbed five execution orders in one hand, threw them out, and then shouted, "The time has come, take down the corrupt official Shen Rong and others."  Lingchi execution, execution!"

    "Execution!"

    "Execution!"

    "Execution!"

    The people roared like a tsunami.

    Lingchi was to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. This was a very cruel criminal law in ancient times. Liu Cong was unwilling to implement it. After all, he came from a civilized society.  However, in the case files compiled by Ma Tao, each of these people had several lives, and their killing methods were also very cruel. Ma Tao also said that according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, they should be sentenced to Lingchi, and Liu Cong agreed.

    But I didn¡¯t expect the people to be so excited. They immediately surrounded the execution ground. The screams of the five people were drowned, and many dirty things or stones were constantly thrown at the bloody bodies of the five people.

    That afternoon, Ma Tao began to register the people of Fangling City. When he spread the news that Liu Cong was going to distribute food to everyone, the people were very cooperative and expressed their gratitude to Liu Cong.

    This Ma Tao is really good at things. He took this opportunity to tell the people that Shangyong's Shen Dan and Shen Yi brothers were unwilling to obey the law and were preparing to lead an army to attack Fangling and turn the entire Shangyong into the Shen family's world.  , called on young men to serve in the army and, under the leadership of Prefect Liu, defend Fangling.

    Suddenly, the people's enthusiasm to join the army was very high. Although Fangling County had a small population, it quickly recruited a thousand soldiers and horses. This was because Deng Ai followed Liu Cong's instructions and recruited people between the ages of 18 and 30.  among young adults.

    Liu Cong was full of emotions. Who said that people in ancient times were numb? It was because there were no good emperors and there were corrupt officials everywhere!

    The next day, a total of 3,000 Jingzhou soldiers, Fangling soldiers and new soldiers gathered outside the city. Li Hu and Deng Ai were both wearing armor and riding on horses at the front of the army.

    Liu Cong led the newly recruited 300 guards to the front of the army.

    "See you, my lord!" Li Hu and Deng Ai dismounted and saluted Liu Cong.

    "See you, my lord!" Three thousand soldiers knelt down and saluted at the same time, the sound of which shocked the world.

    "No gifts for everyone!"

    "Thank you, Lord!"

    "Everyone, no matter who you were before or whose soldiers you were, from now on, you are all my soldiers and horses. Now I am announcing a rule!" Liu Cong said loudly.

    The three thousand soldiers all stood up straight and stared directly at Liu Cong.

    ¡°Everyone¡¯s salary is doubled!¡±

    "What?"

    "Doubling the salary?"

    "Really?"

    The soldiers were in a commotion.

    Liu Cong had already promised a thousand soldiers and horses in Yicheng, and he had also heard about a thousand soldiers in Fangling City. The most exciting thing was these thousand new soldiers.

    The reason why they came to join the army so actively was that Liu Cong won the hearts of the people in Fangling City and gave them hope, so they were willing to protect Fangling City. On the other hand, there was no food at home and they could no longer live.  , how could you not seize the opportunity to serve as a soldier?

    I thought it would be nice to be a soldier and have a bite to eat. In troubled times, where would there be military pay?  But I didn't expect that not only would the governor give them a double amount, but they would also receive double the amount. How could I not be excited?

    ¡°When I speak, I always keep my word!¡±

    As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent!

    The way those soldiers looked at Liu Cong changed!

    Li Hu and Deng Ai were even more shocked. They felt that Liu Cong's figure suddenly became extremely tall, and they wanted to look up. However, they were very excited. This is the lord in their minds, and this kind of momentum is the real king.  Qi!

    "However, I still have a request!"

    Such good treatment is impossible without requirements. To put it bluntly, soldiers in this era just use their lives to make a living. Life doesn¡¯t matter, so what does the request mean?

    ¡°We will let the lord run wild!¡± Three thousand people said almost in unison.

    "Everyone must undergo strict training. If you can't persist, get out of here as soon as possible. There will be no waste in the military camp!"

    "No!" Three thousand soldiers responded in unison.

    You can fight for your life, so what does rigorous training mean?

    "General Deng Ai is the superior?Captain, command all the troops and horses. If anyone disobeys General Deng Ai's orders, he will be killed!  "

    Deng Ai is only fourteen years old. Although Liu Cong knows that Waiting for Love is definitely a famous general and his martial arts is also very good, others may not necessarily think so, so he wants Deng Ai to train his troops well so that he can be more capable in the future.  To lead troops well, one must establish authority for him, so Liu Cong announced it in public.

    Deng Ai's eyes were full of gratitude. If it weren't for Liu Cong's words, he would have definitely encountered a lot of trouble when he led this group of soldiers who were older than him.

    "No!" Everyone responded in unison.

    With Liu Cong¡¯s promise, the problem is completely solved.  Now Liu Cong's orders, these soldiers are obeying his words.

    Three hundred soldiers were divided into three battalions. Feihu Camp consisted of a thousand sword and shield soldiers, with Li Hu as its commander.

    The Feitian camp consisted of a thousand spearmen, and Deng Ai also served as its commander.

    Feiyu camp has a thousand crossbowmen, and Liu Cong temporarily serves as its commander.

    The soldiers and horses of the three battalions were all dispersed and reorganized to combine new recruits with veterans, and then began rigorous training.

    Liu Cong made two requests.

    The first is to train every day.

    Soldiers in this era normally trained once every five days. In wartime, they trained once every three days.

    Training every day is not only a matter of tired soldiers, but more importantly, food and fodder. The more intense the training, the more food and fodder will be consumed, which is not something ordinary soldiers would require.

    "The most indispensable thing for Liu Cong here is food and grass, and Liu Cong also asked Ma Tao to get some meat for the soldiers.

    The second one is to do long-distance running of more than 20 miles every day, and the distance will increase in the future.

    Li Hu and Deng Ai both have some opinions on this proposal. They think training once a day is acceptable as long as the food and grass can be supplied, but what is the use of those long-distance runs?  Isn't this a waste of time?

    Liu Cong did not explain, but participated in the training of the soldiers, ate the soldiers' meals and lived in the same military camp.

    Now everyone has no objections. How noble the prefect is!  Even the prefect can do it, so how can they not be able to do it?

    Furthermore, in addition to focusing on training their skills, every soldier in each battalion must also be trained in other combat skills.

    For example, pikemen also need to train sword, shield and bow skills, as do sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen. Liu Cong's plan is that the soldiers in each battalion in the future must be comprehensive arms and be able to respond to the battlefield independently.  All situations.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
