As an important prefecture and county in the southwest of Xuzhou, heavy troops have always been deployed here.

Now that more soldiers and horses are marching to the east city to threaten Zhou Yu and Liu Biao's army, Xutai is quite deserted.

On the carriage, Li Ji has been thinking about Xuzhou's current military and political system.

Xuzhou originally had six counties, plus Pei County and Sanhan County, with only 9 or 8 troops in the main battle, but there were [-] or [-] county soldiers stationed locally.

It seems that the [-] to [-] is not much, but it is an extremely heavy burden.

Especially in this fight with Yuan Tan, a big problem was exposed. The combat effectiveness of the county soldiers was too weak to fight face to face with Yuan Tan's soldiers.

All the battles would have been completely defeated without the support of the main army such as the Beifu Army.

Even in the siege battle, the Beifu army led by Li Tong could achieve one to seven or eight casualties, but the county soldiers could maintain one to two at most.

With such a huge army and such weak combat effectiveness, Li Ji couldn't help but plan to streamline the local county soldiers.

If we can choose the best among the best, even if the number is small, more labor force can be freed to engage in agricultural production.It can not only reduce the pressure on state animal husbandry supplies, but also enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Originally, in Cao Anmin's vision, part of the local county soldiers participated in the reclamation of wasteland.

But in the real governance process, these county soldiers did not really participate because of the busy fighting.

Over time, the situation of these county soldiers became extremely embarrassing.

The carriage shook and stopped slowly.

"Military division, we have arrived at the Xutai camp."

Yao Guangxiao lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. He couldn't help being a little surprised that he didn't see a single soldier in the big camp in front of him.

"Straight into the barracks."

The entourage promised and moved on.

The carriage was unimpeded in the barracks, as if entering the land of no one.

When they reached the middle camp, some soldiers finally came out to stop them.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that this is an important military camp? Hurry up, hurry up."

Li Ji got out of the carriage upon hearing the sound.

A few drunken soldiers in leather armor appeared in front of them.One of them was still awake, pointing at Li Ji and others and yelling loudly.

Several relatives took a look at Li Ji and saw that Li Ji had no intention of leaving.So he stepped forward and said: "Let your heads come out, just say that my lord wants to see him."

The soldier who spoke glanced at Li Ji, snorted coldly, pulled out his sword and said, "What are you adults? People, hurry up, hurry up." As he spoke, he waved the knife a few times.

Li Ji frowned slightly.

Although it was a few meters away, he could clearly see the rust on the back of the knife.

The knife is the foundation of a soldier's life and the foundation of his life.Without a knife, on the battlefield, even the most powerful soldier would have to die.

The soldiers in front of them are actually holding a rusty knife, which shows that it has not been properly taken care of for a long time.

If such a weapon fights against the enemy, how can it have a chance of winning.

"Take him down!"

Li Ji gave an order, and several of his followers rushed forward quickly, and knocked the opponent to the ground with three punches and two kicks.

These personal guards are the elite of the old guard army, even if they can't reach one against a hundred, they can still fight one against ten.

These soldiers were not strong enough, and they were drunk, how could they fight against strong men like them.

"What are you doing? Do you want to rebel? Come, come, come." The soldier yelled loudly, which immediately attracted many county soldiers to wait and see.

After making noise for a long time, I finally saw an officer wearing the costume of a centurion coming out.

Like these soldiers before, he was also flushed.Probably because he came out in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor, so he looked nondescript and extremely weird.

"Boss, boss!" The soldier who was knocked to the ground saw the leader coming, ran over and told him everything that happened before.

The centurion frowned slightly and strode towards them.

"Which way are you on, you dare to come to the army to act wildly? Could it be that you are tired of your work?"

Li Ji sneered and said, "Who is in charge of the garrison here? Tell him to come out and say I want to see him."

The centurion was immediately happy.

Although Xutai is only a county, because of its special location, there are [-] county soldiers stationed there.

According to the system, there should be two commanders and one commander.

However, Xu Tai claimed that this was indeed the case, but in fact, the two centurion commanders were all on empty pay, and they were directly above the centurion commanders.

"What are you, what qualifications do you have to see us adults?"

Li Ji didn't say much, but took out from his bosom the seal that Cao Anmin gave to his military advisor general: "You show this to him, I think he will come out."

The centurion took the seal and glanced at it, and his eyes immediately sparkled.

Gold Seal!

It was actually a seal made of gold.

I don't know how much it can be worth. If this thing is pawned, maybe it can be exchanged for a drink.

Thinking of this, the centurion directly put the seal into his arms, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, hand over the seal to me." Seeing his rascal's appearance, Li Ji knew that he might have encountered a fool today.

"What seal, I didn't see it." The centurion pretended to be puzzled, even though he kicked the seal in his arms, he said he didn't see it.

The few relatives were all furious, but Li Ji sneered and said, "There is a system in the army, and those who snatch Shangguan's seal should be punished?"

Several followers suddenly realized, and one of them said loudly: "There is no pardon for killing."

The voice was so loud that the surrounding county soldiers could hear it clearly.

kill?

This is their territory, killing people here, isn't it boring?
