After walking out of the mansion of the general, the two rode on their horses and headed to the courtyard where Xu Haifeng lived.

"Little brother, I really envy you." Yan Ming looked angry: "No, you will treat you no matter what tonight."

"Brother, don't just talk about me, have you been promoted too?" Xu Haifeng said with a smile.

"How can I compare to this? I want to join the army at the age of 17. I was promoted to a general until four years ago. I have been polished in the military camp for fourteen years." In fact, there is another sentence that Shi Ming did not say. It is true that he worked in the military camp for fourteen years, but the most important thing is that his family background is that someone in the court has built bridges and paved roads for him. Otherwise, let alone fourteen years, he might not be promoted to a general even in twenty-four years.

Haha, Xu Haifeng said with a shameless face: "Brother means that he will be promoted to deputy general after only four years. That is an official position that can command tens of thousands of people. Brother is amazing."

The general can only manage three to five thousand people, and the leader of ten thousand people is the deputy general. The general is the general who leads more than ten thousand people. Among the five armies, the commander of each battalion is the general, and the deputy commander is the deputy general. Only the general can serve as the president of the five armies. The position of the general can be promoted to the deputy general who leads ten thousand people is an indelible contribution in his previous battle.

"Hmph, I've been promoted to deputy general for eighteen years, which is much slower than if you become a general in half a year." Xiang Ming sneered: "Do you know that your official position has been promoted the fastest in the history of the Han Dynasty. I dare not say that there are no ones in the future, but it is definitely unprecedented. If you are not satisfied, we will all cut off on our own."

The two have been very close to each other these days. Although they are quite different in age, they are like brothers. Xu Haifeng certainly would not take his jokes to heart and said with a smile: "Brother, you have a wealthy family, don't make me think about this little money."

Xiang Ming is the eldest son and grandson of the Fang family, one of the four major families of the Han Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible to take that mere ten thousand taels of silver into consideration. He laughed and scolded the wealthy slave, saying, "Tonight I will hold a banquet in Zuiyue Tower to celebrate how you and my brothers are promoted and made money."

"Don't go." Xu Haifeng said firmly.

Seeing Xu Haifeng shaking his head and refused, Jing Ming asked strangely: "Why?"

"These few days are critical moments. I am going to strike while the iron is hot and select all the personnel and equipment. My brother really wants to invite me. In three months, we will see you."

"Okay, then in March, our brothers will get drunk again."

Xu Haifeng nodded and praised him for his goodness, and then said, "Brother, please ask me for something."

"Whatever I can do, as long as I can, go through fire and water, and I will never refuse."

"It's not that serious. My new general is not very good at the staffing of the column. You have to give me some advice."

"That's a small matter. Come and I'll tell you everything in detail. You can pick people tomorrow."

On the second day, Xu Haifeng came to the camp. Gu Daoyan's orders were more effective than imperial edicts. No matter how hard Xu Haifeng wanted people or things, no one dared to make things difficult for him. In particular, the Logistics Department, which had the most oil and water, not only equipped him with the best equipment, but also gave him hundreds of kilograms of jerky. Even when Xu Haifeng was whispering to ask for wine, they all served them strangely. As soon as Xu Haifeng left, the officials of the Logistics Department muttered to himself that no officer dared to ask for wine in person. He didn't know what the young man had to do with the commander, and even did not dare to do things that violated military rules so openly. However, he didn't know that Xu Haifeng was just a new general and didn't know what the saying of ban on alcohol in the army.

Accompanied by Qin Yong, Xu Haifeng selected three thousand slave soldiers. Their mental state was very poor, ragged, pale and thin, and more importantly, they all had no identities.

Yes, the slave soldiers were all slaves, and they were inferior people who were not worthy of having status. Since most of them were composed of criminals and surrendered soldiers, it was certainly necessary to not be able to eat enough. Otherwise, if they were given full, wouldn’t they have the energy to rebel? Their treatment was the lowest in the entire army, but they did the most difficult, dirtiest and tiring jobs in the entire army. The death rate was always high, but the empire was vast, and there were definitely many prisoners who committed the crime, and their camps were often overcrowded, so Xu Haifeng had great room to choose.

Looking at these weak men, Xu Haifeng also frowned. The reason why he chose these people was helpless. If he wanted to achieve combat effectiveness within three months, it was not possible to use a method - Blood Wine. The problem is that although Blood Wine is powerful, the sequelae are also obvious.

The greatest effect of blood wine is to preserve human mind while damaging the pain nerves in the human body. Once the pain nerves of human beings are damaged, they will no longer be able to feel pain, so they can be fearless on the battlefield. In the era of cold weapons, soldiers are often not killed directly by the enemy, but after being injured, the pain in the wound causes various fears and sad negative emotions. As a result, the treatment will be half the result with twice the result. Once injured, their combat effectiveness on the battlefield will be greatly reduced, and even

If you completely lose your combat effectiveness. For example, if an arm is cut off by the enemy on the battlefield, the person will basically faint in pain. On the battlefield, it is difficult for people who are unconscious to attract attention. Most people die like this. However, when the pain nerves disappear, even if the arms are gone, they can continue to fight as if nothing is done. Enhanced combat effectiveness is only one aspect, and the most important thing is that such actions will cause great psychological pressure to the other party and easily cause the other party to collapse in the whole line.

Behind such powerful effects, there is an irreparable flaw, that is flexibility. Although all those who have drunk blood wine have not changed their minds and memory, they lack flexibility and initiative. If they had not been ordered, they would have basically done nothing without being hurt. More than a hundred people who survived came for so long, and at the command of Xu Haifeng, no one walked out of the courtyard. In the eyes of others, it was Xu Haifeng's strict governance of the army, but his family knew his family and knew that these people had just lost interest in everything. Only after being ordered could they become a powerful war machine.

Most of the soldiers have a certain period of time and will be discharged from the army when the time comes, but those who drink blood wine do not expect to be treated like this. Their personality is not eye-catching in the army, but it will definitely attract attention once they arrive. So Xu Haifeng had to give up the demobilized soldiers and recruits and specifically select slave soldiers. The slave soldiers have no status and no one cares about them when they die, let alone stand up for them. They stayed in the slave camp, and the final outcome was also hard to escape. In fact, entering the slave camp is basically a dead end. There is a saying that they will never leave the camp until they die, which means slave camps. As long as they come in, there is no one who can go out alive. Instead of living like this, it is better to join Xu Haifeng's army. At least there are good wine and meat at each meal, and even if they die, they can enjoy it.

"Report to General Tong, General Tong asked for his visit."

The 123 people who followed Xu Haifeng formed a personal guards. According to what he learned yesterday, Xu Haifeng sent them to rectify the team. These slave soldiers had to be kept for a few days, otherwise they would not be able to train at all. Fortunately, they were ordered to give him some young and healthy slaves. If a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, Xu Haifeng would not have to train and could go back and resign directly. The one who came to report just now was one of the personal guards.

"Please, no, I'll go in person." Xu Haifeng came to the hall in two steps, and sure enough, he saw Tong Yifeng sitting in a chair, waiting for him to appear.

"Good General Tong." Xu Haifeng bowed. He was also a general at this moment and no longer had to perform subordinate rituals.

"Congratulations to the general for his joy of promotion." Seeing that the Lord was here, Tong Yifeng quickly stood up and returned the greeting.

"No, it's just a moment of luck, not worth mentioning."

"General Xu is young and promising, and his future achievements are limitless. I will wait and see." Tong Yifeng laughed.

"I dare not, I dare..." Xu Haifeng saw that he did not mention what he had asked, and he couldn't help but look anxious on the ground, but he couldn't ask about it.

It turned out that when he returned to the courtyard yesterday, Xu Haifeng found Tong Yixun, took out the 10,000 taels of silver notes he had just obtained, and asked him to do it for him to help him buy a hundred jars of Zuiyue wine. This matter was really important to him and he could not tolerate any negligence, so he was naturally worried.

Since Xu Haifeng did not disclose his promotion in his conversation yesterday, Tong Yifeng did not know until today that the coach camp announced that this kid, who had only half a year of military service, was at the same level as him in one day. He hurriedly handled the things he asked for and arrived without stopping.

Seeing him stopping, he looked restless and laughed in his heart. Xu Haifeng asked for fine wine in the logistics department today in just half a day. As one of the senior officials of the logistics department, he had no reason to know. Thinking of Xu Haifeng asking himself to buy fine wine as soon as he received the silver reward yesterday, and the huge amount he showed at Zuiyue Tower last time, he increasingly recognized in his heart that Xu Haifeng was a person who was addicted to alcohol.

"Boss Chen has already replied. Since the yield of Zuiyue wine is not high, he cannot take out a hundred jars at one time." Tong Yifeng said slowly.

"Is that right? It doesn't matter if you can't take it out at once. I just want to know how much he is willing to sell it to me?" Xu Haifeng frowned again. If there were no such wine, then his next plan would not be implemented at all. All hope was just a mirror and water moon.

"Boss Chen said that since it was General Xu's request, he would have to find a way to satisfy himself no matter what. Originally, a jar of Drunken Moon wine was 100 taels of silver, but Boss Chen gave you half a fold, only fifty taels were enough. However, in terms of quantity, Boss Chen can only provide one jar every day to satisfy General Xu's alcohol. What do you think?" Tong Yifeng said with a smile.

"So that's it. I really have to thank Boss Chen. Since I tasted the taste of Zuiyue Wine last time, drinking other wines is like drinking boiled water, with no taste. So I want to buy more, so I can drink them at any time in the future." Xu Haifeng explained.

After chatting for a few words, Tong Yishu left on the pretext of having something to do. Xu Haifeng was drunk and had no worries, and began his training plan.
