After receiving the new recruits, Lu Yuan did not return home but stayed in the barracks, personally supervising the training of the new soldiers.
The truth is, he didn't know much about training soldiers. In the barracks, different formations and signals were managed by dedicated personnel.
Lu Yuan's main purpose in sticking around was to let the new soldiers know who their leader was, who paid them, and whose commands they should follow in the future.
In short, it was to get these big-headed_soldiers to recognize their master and know their place.
However, even though he didn't interject in the training, while supervising, Lu Yuan selected 250 men from both new and veteran soldiers.
Together with the fifty personal guards he had previously recruited, he set up a barrack of three hundred men.
