Chapter 316: Heart-to-Heart
Gao Yuan's Zhengdong General's Mansion is located in Fufeng City, in fact, it is the original Fufeng County Ya, take off the original brand, hang a new signboard, and put new wine in old bottles, but Wu Kai's county government The entire team has to move out of the city, and now in the front yard, there are a series of yakou such as the Military Justice Department and the Logistics Department in the Zhengdong General's Mansion, and Gao Yuan monopolizes the entire backyard.
When Gao Yuan went out to conquer Yuyang, he took away a thousand Fufeng soldiers, but when he came back, there were less than 400 people left, so that there were less than 2,000 local soldiers left, and there were as many as 4,000 foreign soldiers brought by Meng Chong and Xu Yuan.
After careful consideration, it was Gao Yuan who set up the governors of the left, center and right armies, with Meng Chong, Sun Xiao, and Zheng Xiaoyang as the governors of the three armies, which could also take care of the interests of all aspects and lay a solid foundation for the next whole army. Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang are both old subordinates, so there is no need to say much, so after instructing the two of them about the relevant matters of the army, Gao Yuan left Meng Chong and sent the other two away.
Seeing Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang leaving, Meng Chong couldn't help but be a little nervous, to the days of Fufeng, he and Xu Yuan have been staying in the Niulanlan camp, here, he once again saw the military appearance of the Fufeng Army, when he was in Yuyang, he originally thought that Gao Yuan's training was already very cruel, but after seeing the strict military discipline and cruel training of the Niulanshan camp, he realized that when he was in Yuyang, Gao Yuan was just a small test.
And correspondingly, the strong combat effectiveness of the wind soldiers. In Yuyang, after a few months of training by Gao Yuan, Meng Chong originally thought that the army under his command could already be called a strong army, but now he understood. His own command is still far from a strong army.
Sitting straight in front of Gao Yuan, with his hands on his knees, his body couldn't help but feel a little tight. He couldn't help but be nervous, in the past, he was just a small county lieutenant, of course, Gao Yuan was also a county lieutenant in the past, but this county lieutenant is not the other county lieutenant, and the gap between the two is obvious. What's more, Gao Yuan is now one of the eight generals of Great Yan. And he also jumped from an unpopular county lieutenant to a general in charge of thousands of soldiers under the general's mansion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has ascended to the sky in one step.
Seeing that Meng Chong was a little nervous, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, got up and lifted the kettle, and filled the water cup in front of Meng Chong for Meng Chong, "Meng Chong." We're all brothers, so it's easier. ”
"Yes, General, I'm not nervous!" Meng Chong licked his lips. But he didn't realize that his voice was trembling a little.
Gao Yuan sat down and looked at the other party, "Meng Chong, this time the whole army." Do you have any ideas? If you have an idea, just say it, let's talk behind closed doors. Knowing everything, saying everything, no need to have any scruples? ”
"General, I don't have any ideas, everything will be done according to the general's wishes!" Meng Chong hurriedly said.
"Huh?" Gao Yuan glanced at him with some surprise, "You really don't have any ideas?" You must know that Lu Dao, according to this army reorganization plan, your subordinates, as well as Xu Yuan's subordinates, have all been scattered, and I won't hide from you, you have also seen the ability of the wind soldiers, using the method of Dabi to determine the officers of each department, each team and each outpost, it is very likely that most of the grassroots officers will be occupied by them, and the original officers under you, except for those who are extremely outstanding, the rest, I am afraid they will have to become soldiers. ”
"General, I see what you mean!" Meng Chong calmed down his mind, in the end, he was a person who had read the book, Gao Yuan said it, and he also understood what the other party meant, "An army that can fight, of course, is the capable up, the inferior down, the soldiers are beary, and the bears will be a nest, this, when I was in Yuyang, I understood, we were originally a group of rabble, but since your General Gao led the army, our group of sheep in the eyes of others has become hungry wolves." The grassroots officers in the army are the skeleton of an army, and of course they must be capable. So, I don't have an opinion, I think, Xu Yuan won't have an opinion either. ”
"In this way, you and Xu Yuan both agree to the whole army this time!" Gao Yuan could see that Meng Chong's words came from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes!" Meng Chong nodded heavily, "General, I won't hide it from you, I followed you, that is, I decided that the future of the general is unlimited, follow you, you can fight for a bright future, Xu Yuan and I are in the original place, we are both excluded and unpopular characters, and I finally met a master like you, of course, I followed you with all my heart." ”
"Where's the people down there?" Takato knocked lightly on the table, "Especially those who are going to be taken off?" ”
"Don't worry, everything will be settled between me and Xu Yuan." Meng Chong said without hesitation: "The general gave them a chance, they are not as good as others, then they can't complain about others, and besides, our Eastern Army will face Donghu, the war will not be broken, the general will definitely do something to Donghu, if you want to be promoted, you have to exchange it for war achievements." ”
"That's good, if you say that, I'm relieved!" Gao Yuan nodded happily, "You have two armies under your command, Xu Yuan leads the first army, Yan Haibo leads the first army, Yan Haibo is a veteran of Fufeng, and he is very familiar with Fufeng's training strategies, military discipline, tactics, etc., you may as well discuss with him in case of trouble, conquer the Eastern Mansion, divide into three armies, I don't want to, you are compared to others." ”
Meng Chonghuo stood up, "General rest assured, if I am compared to General Sun and General Zheng, I would rather not be the governor of the left army and let the capable person take the responsibility." ”
Gao Yuan Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, "I have three armies under my command, there will always be a first place, a third place, if anyone loses, it will not be long, I'm afraid I won't have a general to lead the army." Meng Chong, among the left, center and right armies, if there is anyone who can stand alone in the future, I am the most optimistic about you, and your future is much greater than that of Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang. ”
Meng Chong couldn't help but be stunned, "General, this ......"
"You are literate and hyphenated, and you read a lot, although a famous general does not necessarily have to have read a book, there are many such famous generals in history, but your starting point is higher than theirs, so the possibility of success is much greater than theirs, Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang are mostly fighting with combat experience and instinct, and you are different. During this time, I have also been observing you, you are good at summarizing, good at learning, and after months of getting along, your progress amazes me. Gao Yuan smiled. That's why I said, if anyone under my command can stand alone in the future, it will definitely be you, so I hope you don't let down my hope. ”
Listen to the words of the high distance. Meng Chong couldn't help but be excited, Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang, but Gao Yuan's descendants, he never thought that he, as a latecomer, would be so valued by Gao Yuan.
"General Xie Lu and General Xie's attention, I will definitely live up to the general's expectations." Meng Chong said loudly.
"Sit down, sit down!" Gao Yuan pressed down with both hands, "Meng Chong." I hope that in the future, you will truly regard yourself as a member of the Eastern Army, and not always think of yourself as a latecomer. One is prosperous, and one is lost. I'm sure you understand that. ”
"Yes, General, I see!" Meng Chong was a little ashamed, and it had been a few months since he came to Fufeng. He was still observing the army as a spectator.
"Let's talk about it, we are going to conquer the Eastern Army, what do you think we have to lose? Where there is room for improvement. I think you also know that in addition to a group of big and rough generals, I also have two subordinates who make good money, Cao Tiancheng, our military Sima, a good hand at making money, and managing money is an iron abacus. Although you are a military general, you are also a scholar, I believe you will have your own opinions, don't hide it,"
Meng Chong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then straightened out his thoughts, "General, I really have some ideas. ”
"Say, speak!" Gao Yuan said happily that his biggest headache now is that he can't find someone to negotiate with in case of trouble, and most of his subordinates are a group of people who carry out orders to the letter, but to expect them to have any high-level opinions is to dream.
"General, General Zhengdong is one of the eight generals of Dayan, and to build a general's team, in addition to the generals who can recruit and fight well, you must also have a group of civilian staff, after you make a decision, someone can pick up the gaps, can improve the corresponding rules and regulations, not only these, you also need long-sleeved and good diplomatic talents, etc., and these, in the current Zhengdong Mansion, basically can't be seen."
Gao Yuan said dejectedly: "You are right, there are too few readers, this is a big shortcoming of mine, but in a hurry, where do you ask me to find these talents?" Fufeng is originally a border county, and there are only a handful of people who have read books, not to mention those talents who are strategic and sociable. At this point, it can only be taken slowly. ”
"As long as the general can win on the battlefield, I believe that there will always be people who have never met talents to vote." Meng Chong smiled. "Secondly, in our Eastern Army, the infantry is the mainstay, but the cavalry is too few, General, our future enemies are Donghu people, and it is impossible to defeat the opponent with foot soldiers alone. The cavalry comes and goes like the wind, the mobility is too strong, if we fight with the Donghu people, we will suffer a congenital loss, even if there is an absolute advantage in troops, it is very likely that we will not be able to find the enemy's main force for a decisive battle, so we need a strong cavalry. ”
"I've noticed this a long time ago, the Fufeng cavalry has always been the focus of my training, but training a strong cavalry is not an overnight thing."
"General, there is the current cavalry available for use right now, why don't you know how to use it?" Meng Chong said.
"You mean Helan Ministry?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"That's right, Helan Ministry!" Meng Chong said: "Although there are only a few hundred horsemen in the Helan Department now, there are countless Huns who have been beaten homeless on the grassland, why don't you recruit them?" ”
"Assemble a cavalry composed entirely of Huns?" Gao Yuan's brow furrowed.
"General, are you worried about how to control them?"
Gao Yuan nodded, "If I recruit an all-Hun cavalry, I can only hand it over to Helanxiong to lead, but Helanxiong is very ambitious, and I am a little worried that the tail will not fall." ”
"General, the Huns lost too badly this time, many big tribes have been beaten to the point that they can't be seen, among them, one of them is recruited by a family with a higher status than Helanxiong, and Helanxiong checks and balances each other, this is one, second, constantly mix sand into it, and slowly infiltrate more cavalry of the Eastern Army, I believe that these things, the general will be able to do a good job. Or we don't need their loyalty, but we can trap them with enough benefits. ”
Gao Yuan laughed, "You have given me a problem, this is indeed a way to let the Eastern Army have a strong cavalry in the shortest possible time, but this check, balance, control, is not a simple matter. ”
"I'm sure the general will do a good job!" Meng Chong is definitely authentic.
"You can afford me." Gao Yuan smiled, "However, Bai Yucheng is a usable talent, and it may be better to let him join in this matter." (To be continued......)
