Guan Hai and Zhou Cang didn't lack courage and strength. Huang Zhong put away his golden battle saber with satisfaction and nodded. He said the word 'good' three times in a row to express his satisfaction with the two of them.
"Old General, do you still think highly of these two warriors?" Liu Mang asked with a smile as he looked at Huang Zhong and Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, who were still glaring at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong put away his golden saber and cupped his fists towards Liu Mang. "With the two of you here, I can rest assured in handing Milord over to you!"
"Haha, of course, these two are dragons and phoenixes among men! Although they were born in the wilderness, they have martial arts skills that can be sold to the royal family! " Liu Mang was not stingy with his praise for Guan Hai and Zhou Cang. "Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, I am like Cao Mengde who got Er 'Lai, Tiger!" Er 'Lai and Tiger were referring to Dian Wei and Xu Chu under Cao Cao. Both of them were fierce generals. Dian Wei had a pair of short halberds that even Lü Bu had to pay attention to. Xu Chu had even besieged Lü Bu together with Xu Huang and Li Dian, almost causing War God Lü Bu to die with a grievance. From this, one could see how strong these two were.
It was a pity that Cao Cao's Er 'Lai was dead and only Xu Chu was left. Liu Mang, on the other hand, had obtained two fierce tigers. One was Guan Hai and the other was Zhou Cang. Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were slightly inferior to the two, but one should not forget that Liu Mang himself was also a peak second-rate martial artist.
Liu Mang had only exaggerated his praise for Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, but the three foxes below him narrowed their eyes at the same time. What they cared about was not Liu Mang's praise after that, but what they cared about was the sentence, "Sold to the imperial family?" Liu Mang was a modern person, so he was very casual with words like emperor and emperor. In the modern world, people would call an only child a little emperor, but this was ancient times, and the ancient people were very sensitive to the words emperor.
Guan Hai and Zhou Cang's martial arts could be sold to the imperial family, but who was the imperial family? Only Liu Mang was present. Zhou Cang and Guan Hai had also acknowledged Liu Mang as their lord. Could it be that their lord had the ambition to conquer the world and sit on the throne? If Liu Mang was able to reach that level, then they would be credited with helping him succeed, and it would definitely be recorded in the annals of history. Thinking of this, the eyes of the three foxes lit up. Even the old fox, Jia Xu, had a look of excitement on his face. He was ready to go all out.
Liu Mang could not understand what the three foxes below were excited about. Similarly, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang could not understand what Liu Mang and Huang Zhong were talking about on the stage! Huang Zhong's attitude towards the two of them was not good from the beginning. He even drew his sword and fought for a while. But now, the two of them were smiling at Guan Hai and Zhou Cang. This was really confusing. Both of them were warlords. Guan Hai was better, but Zhou Cang was completely rash.
It turned out that Huang Zhong's reprimand for the two of them to drop their swords was to test their courage. The two of them were Liu Mang's personal guards, so they would definitely carry swords in the hall. They could only listen to the orders of Liu Mang. They did not need to pay attention to the orders of others, not even Huang Zhong. Unless Liu Mang asked them to drop their swords, they had to follow Guan Hai's words and not throw away their swords. The two of them quickly passed the test.
Also, Huang Zhong drew his sword. If one had courage, they also needed strength. If they were useless, then Guan Hai and Zhou Cang would be killed by Huang Zhong. This was why Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were facing a formidable enemy. Huang Zhong had the intention to kill them.
The main hall of Shouchun was not small. It was built by Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Gonglu in Luoyang. Luoyang was expanded by several generations of emperors. The main hall was definitely large enough, and there was space for the three of them to fight.
After fighting for dozens of rounds, Huang Zhong put away the golden sword in his hand. Although he did not use any killing moves, he could feel that the two of them were not weak. Guan Hai could actually enter the ranks of the first-class, while Zhou Cang was slightly weaker. However, one should not forget that although Zhou Cang's IQ was a little rash, he was compensated by the heavens. If there was a flaw, there would naturally be compensation. His innate strength was the compensation for Zhou Cang. In the original timeline, Zhou Cang had to single-handedly carry Guan Yu's sword. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was not easy to carry.
Their courage and strength were not weak. Naturally, Huang Zhong was relieved to leave Liu Mang's guards to them.
"With the Lord under our protection, we will definitely not be worse than you!" Guan Hai heard Liu Mang's words. Although he knew that Huang Zhong was testing him, he was still very unhappy. He could not help but snort coldly and provoke Huang Zhong.
"That's right, that's right! As long as I, Old Zhou, am alive, no one can touch a hair of Brother Liu's! "Zhou Cang also began to express his stance.
"Haha, Old General, it seems like you have met your match!" Liu Mang laughed contentedly. Huang Zhong also shook his head while crying and laughing.
"Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, listen to my orders!" Liu Mang suddenly stopped smiling and shouted at the two below.
"Guan Hai is here!" Guan Hai immediately knelt down. After all, he was a person who had been a commander. Zhou Cang was a little stunned, but he was also pulled down by Guan Hai.
"Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, today you are both appointed. Guan Hai will be the Huben Commandant, the commander of this King's personal guards. Zhou Cang will be the Fenwu Commandant, assisting Guan Hai. Although you were bandits in the past, the country is in chaos and the people have no way to make a living. Therefore, this King will not pursue the matter in the past. From now on, since the two of you will be in my, Liu Mang's, army, you will listen to orders and abide by the law. Otherwise, you will be punished! "Liu Mang's eyes narrowed. The aura of a superior rushed towards the two from the main seat. Liu Mang did not know when he started to become cold-blooded towards military discipline and human lives. If possible, he would not have been so impulsive as to charge towards thousands of people with only a few hundred people. He would also not become overly excited because of these famous people from the Three Kingdoms. These people were humans and not gods. It would be fine if they helped Liu Mang. However, if they blocked Liu Mang's path, then Liu Mang would not hesitate to kill them. Chen Dao, Chen Lan, Lei Bo, and Dong Xi had all died at the hands of Liu Mang's army.
"This general obeys!" Guan Hai lowered his head. He knew that only by staying by Liu Mang's side would he have a chance to take revenge on Guan Yu.
"If Brother Liu says so, then so be it!" Zhou Cang was just about to say so when he saw Guan Hai's hand revert to Guan Hai's. "This general obeys!"
"Alright, the two of you can leave!" Liu Mang waved his hand and said to the two. The two of them were very conscientious. Liu Mang waved his hand and stood behind Liu Mang with his sword. They were like two door gods protecting Liu Mang's safety.
"There are men and women among the people! The women weave while the men farm! The men farm while the women weave has been the law of the world since ancient times! " Liu Mang looked at his subordinates and said. Liu Mang selected 300,000 reserve soldiers from the 700,000 men to be used for the large-scale farming project. This didn't mean that the remaining 200,000 men didn't need to do anything. They also needed to work. In fact, they had to do more work because they needed to be trained. During training, the work would be left to the remaining people. Among the 700,000 men, there were 200,000 women! Liu Mang was also preparing to organize these women. Of course, they weren't going to join the army. It was enough to have men to do the fighting. As for the women, they could just take care of the children and weave.
Therefore, Liu Mang was prepared to let the women do the work of uniforms and bedding. After thinking about it, Liu Mang said, "Select 2,000 women who are delicate and considerate and rush into the army camp!"
"What?!" Liu Mang's bombs came one after another. Previously, when he expanded the army by 300,000, it almost scared everyone present to death. Now, he was preparing to let 2,000 women into the army camp. What was he trying to do?
"My Lord, what do you mean?!" Xu Shu was a little uncertain and had a disappointed look on his face. Since ancient times, it was very difficult for women to enter the army. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a popular story about Hua Mulan replacing her father to join the army. This was because women were born weak. On one hand, they were born weak. On the other hand, they also had menstrual periods. This made them unsuitable for the battlefield. There was only one type of women who could enter the army camp.
There were military prostitutes in the army. This was against reason and justice. Why did Xu Shu want to join Liu Mang's army? Why did Brother Zhu take a fancy to Liu Mang? Wasn't it because Liu Mang was serving the country and the people? The saying, "When the people prosper, the people suffer; when the people perish, the people suffer" had almost become Zhuge Liang's motto. It was impossible not to read it a few times every day.
If Liu Mang really put 2,000 women into the army camp as military prostitutes, then what was the difference between Liu Mang and Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si?
On the other hand, Jia Xu's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but nod. For Jia Xu, it was just a few thousand women! If they were to become military prostitutes, then so be it! After staying in the Xiliang Army for a long time, Jia Xu also knew that although prostitutes were against reason, they also had great benefits. One of the benefits was to boost morale. The soldiers were all hot-blooded men. Some of them might have never touched a woman in their entire life. Why did they want the salary and money? Wasn't it because they wanted to marry a wife? Raise a few children for them and add a few acres of land.
When a person's hot-bloodedness was not vented, they would naturally become manic and restless. In the Xiliang Army, in order to maintain the morale of the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo indulged the soldiers and added prostitutes to the army camp. These soldiers' manic anger was vented. Naturally, their fighting power was strengthened and the stability of the camp was greatly improved. In order to vent more, they would even become more belligerent. Only with military merit could they have prostitutes.
Therefore, having prostitutes in the camp was indeed a good way to stabilize the morale of the soldiers and improve their morale.
"How many medical officers do we have now?" Liu Mang didn't directly answer Xu Shu's question. Instead, he asked an irrelevant question.
"Medical officers?" Xu Shu really didn't consider how many there were. There were tens of thousands of soldiers in Shouchun. For example, the Black Flag Army might have about ten medical officers in each army.
"Ten?" Liu Mang frowned. Liu Mang had already considered the issue of medical officers. His City Guard was not in a hurry because Liu Mang would sometimes teach them some first aid methods. However, it was different for the other armies. There were ten medical officers. The Black Flag Army had five thousand people. Ten medical officers meant that each person had to be responsible for five hundred people. Even if a god had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to handle it. There was a large shortage of medical officers. This was also the reason why the casualty rate on the battlefield was too high.
"Gather all of these medical officers. Let these two thousand women learn how to treat the wounded from these medical officers!" Liu Mang did not hesitate to issue this order. There were two thousand medical officers. Liu Mang's Army had urban management. The Black Flag Army had ten thousand people. The incomplete White Horse Army and the Xiliang Cavalry also added up to ten thousand people. In addition to the Yiyang Soldiers and Hao Shao's City Guard, there were close to thirty thousand people. Thirty thousand people and two thousand medical officers were enough. However, if Liu Mang's reserve force was expanded, it really wouldn't be enough.
"Medical officers?" Xu Shu directly felt that his brain wasn't enough. What kind of soldier was a medical officer? These two thousand women weren't going to be soldiers. Prostitutes were for soldiers to play with. How could they become medical officers?
