Chapter 147: Advance, Guys
After coming out of the palace, Lin Xu rushed towards Cao Cao's mansion with joy, and after integrating the troops of the Han Dynasty, the cement road should be repaired in time, even if it is not completely repaired, it doesn't matter, with Jiuquan in Liangzhou as a transit station, it will not be far from reaching the Western Regions.
After killing the Northern Xiongnu, taking the Western Regions, and feeding Liu Hong a mouthful of fat, he dared to ask Liu Hong to invite troops to go south or develop the navy to cross the sea to the east to take Dongying.
Think about being the master of your own house, unscrupulously dotting the technology tree, crazy development of social skills, and so on for the last few decades, when your strength will one day be stronger than the big man, it will be very fun, and I am excited to think about it.
"Mengde!"
After striding into Cao Cao's mansion without hindrance, Lin Xu shouted loudly regardless of his image.
"Lord Immortal~"
Cao Cao, who received the housekeeper's notice, had just tidied up his clothes and was about to go out to greet him, when he heard Lin Xu's yell, and hurriedly trotted a few steps to meet him.
"What about people? What about the people you want to gather? ”
Lin Xu looked left and right, making sure he didn't see Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others, he was a little dissatisfied, he had already instructed Cao Cao to greet these generals to discuss major matters, but now he didn't see anyone, Lao Cao is not strong, and the official has also been promoted, I feel that my wings are stiff, right?
"Yesterday, I have already taken someone to inform me, it is still early now, and I should come after the meeting, Lord Qixian, let's go into the hall to drink tea first, Zixiao, quickly send someone to urge!"
Seeing that Lin Xu was a little unhappy, Cao Cao was also helpless, those bastards have also been a little floating recently, after all, they have all been promoted, and they have made great contributions, so they didn't run over in advance to wait for him, and even he didn't expect Lin Xu to come so quickly, because now that the world is decided, what other big deal can there be for these generals?
"Dare to ask Lord Qixian, what is the big thing that is so urgent, can you tell me one or two?"
"Well, the army is going to be restructured, come over in advance to discuss it with you"
"Ahem~"
Hearing Lin Xu's flat tone but say something important enough to affect their military situation, Cao Cao almost choked to death by a sip of tea, sure enough, how can it be small to make this immortal master so anxious.
Thinking about it, Cao Cao had some resentment again, couldn't you have notified such a big thing in advance, if you had known that this was the case, Liu Bei and these bastards would have been waiting here for a long time.
"Yes~, do you want to disarm?"
"Yes and no, let's talk about it when we arrive, don't worry, get me something to eat"
Lin Xu waved his hand, in fact, an important reason why he rushed over was that he was hungry and wanted to find Cao Cao to get something to fill his stomach, although Liu Hong's food was more delicious, but he knew that Liu Hong was definitely now convening Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and other generals to discuss this military reform.
Lin Xu was not worried about this at all, he had already discussed with these big generals, and he was unanimously praised, who would be the boss of the group after the army was assembled? Needless to say, it must be their veterans. As soon as the military system is reformed, Liu Hong will benefit the most, followed by these generals, and they have no reason to disagree.
After serving a plate of pastries to Lin Xu with his own hands, Cao Cao gave a look, and Cao Chun on the side immediately confessed to Lin Xu and strode out.
Soon, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others, who had received two emergency summons from Cao Cao, rushed over in a hurry.
"I've seen Lord Qixian~"
"Hmm~"
Lin Xu, who was chewing pastries, waved his hand and ordered the desk next to him.
The few people who arrived understood in seconds, and they had already experienced Lin Xu's unconventional etiquette, and they didn't care at the moment.
"Listen, the army has been restructured, and all soldiers outside the age of eighteen to forty have been eliminated"
"What!"
"This~"
As soon as these words came out, the people present were in an uproar
"The forty-year-old soldier is a fierce pawn in our army, and his combat power is strong, how can he give it up easily!"
Ma Teng was the first to stand up to express his dissatisfaction, and howled on the spot
"Yes, these old soldiers have been following me for many years, and if I abandon them, it will be too ruthless, so what will I have to say about them?"
Pang Yu also felt that it was very inappropriate
"Lord Qixian, most of our army are neighbors, if we abandon them for no reason, in the future, I will return to my hometown without shame."
Zhang Ji also sighed for a while.
"Okay, okay"
Lin Xu glanced at these bastards, what they meant Lin Xu couldn't be clearer
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not finished yet, if the retired soldiers are not disabled, they can join the county garrison army in their hometown, or the Tuntian army, and continue to eat military salaries, and if they are disabled, the court will also give a generous pension and fertile land."
"As for the soldiers lost because of this, they can be selected and replenished from the Yellow Turban elite who surrendered this time."
"I see, since Lord Qixian has already made arrangements, there is no objection from a certain family."
"Not bad, no objections, no objections, haha"
....
As soon as they heard that they were not going to lay off their soldiers, but just to replace some fresh blood, this kind of thing was actually a good thing for them.
"Come on, that's not the point"
Glancing at these bastards who changed their faces faster than flipping through a book, Lin Xu rolled his eyes and said
"Now that the troop has been decided, and the establishment of the legion has also been determined, in the future, you will basically not be allowed to lead the army alone, well, you can see for yourself, see which troop you want, fill it in, and I will give you a reference."
Hearing Lin Xu's words, Zhu Zhen behind him immediately took out a stack of papers from his arms and distributed them to the generals.
"I want heavy cavalry!"
Swept his eyes hastily, Ma Teng immediately slapped the paper on the desk, there is no need to choose, Lao Tzu will be a heavy cavalry in this life! As soon as these words came out, they only got the eyes of everyone like idiots.
Nonsense! Everyone wants heavy cavalry, but the current financial resources of the Han Dynasty, how can it be so easy to configure for you, who do you think you are? Do you really think it's great to have led a thousand heavy cavalry? On military merits, on official positions, on identity, which one will be lower for you? Even Liu Bei, a member of the Han family, didn't dare to say that he wanted a whole set of heavy cavalry, but you really dared to speak!
After a full half an hour, several famous generals present decided on the class they wanted. In fact, there is nothing to say, I know in my heart what kind of soldiers I have always brought with me, and it is not a good idea to change jobs temporarily.
"Got it all figured?"
Lin Xu took the paper handed back by the generals, glanced at it roughly, and sure enough, his guess was good, these border generals who came to Luoyang after participating in the Northern Xiongnu expedition were very sincere in choosing the ordinary general troops on the paper. Only Cao Cao and other generals of Lin Xu's vein didn't fill in a word.
Glancing at the elf-like Cao Cao, Lin Xu was very dissatisfied
"What do you mean?"
Cao Cao smiled slightly when he heard this
"Didn't Lord Qi Xian say that he wanted to refer to one or two for us? I'm waiting for my advice. ”
Looking at this kind of major event, Xu Rong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Sui, Bian Zhang and other cronies and generals under Lin Xu were not present, and Cao Cao knew that the problem of this army was definitely not as simple as what was written on paper. After all, after the war with the Northern Xiongnu, those generals were not disbanded, and the name of the general was not recaptured, which means that they are still the leading generals registered in the Han Dynasty, and they have military power in hand!
"Hey, Mengde, you're really good enough."
Lin Xu smiled sheepishly, and casually pushed aside the stack of papers in his hand
"Indeed, these things are only used to fool ordinary generals, and if you use these troops, it will be condescending."
It's okay for these ordinary people to be the mainstream forces of the Han Dynasty, but to say that they have become the headquarters of these famous generals, in Lin Xu's opinion, isn't that a price drop? He knows a lot of the special types of troops that are known now, and those classics treasured by the century-old family also record these special types of troops in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Lin Xu's words just landed, and the eyes of all the generals present lit up, he knew what the special class of troops meant, and he had also seen the power of it, the battle of Wuwei City, the fierceness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the bravery of the first dead soldier are still vividly remembered.
"Meng De, you have the qualifications of a commander, and if you have this ability in the future, you can command a group army, so the type of troops I suggest to you is the Tiger Ben, the Tiger Ben that focuses on defense, protection, and raiding! And I have already discussed with His Majesty, the training method of the Tiger Ben can be taken out, but the name of the Tiger Ben cannot be used, this is exclusive to the palace guards, so I named it the Tiger Guard! ”
"Tiger Guard~"
Cao Cao touched his beard and smashed it a few times, although there was a little gap between this type of army and what he wanted to be fierce and brutal, but think about what Lin Xu just said, he would lead a group army in the future, and it was explained on the paper just now that a group army is composed of at least three integrated corps, that is, at least 15,000 people! Coupled with his own headquarters, that is, 20,000 upwards, and you don't have to do it yourself to charge into battle or anything, in this case, Huwei or something still sounds quite fragrant.
"That~, I'll obey the orders of Lord Qixian."
"Wentai, you have always liked to charge into battle, and you were born in Jiangdong, and you have excellent archery skills, I have tailored a Wuke army for you"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of papers from his bosom, flipped through them, pulled out one and handed it over.
Sun Jian took it with both hands, and looked at it carefully and carefully several times, this Wuke army needs to recruit soldiers in Danyang, and it is also necessary to be a fierce man in Danyang, equipped with chain mail, iron bracers, small round shield, with strong defensive power and lightweight, holding a ring head knife, carrying a big yellow bow, and hanging a Qixian repeater on his waist.
A wave of arrows is suppressed, and then the enemy is charged, and the crossbow is fired close to the face at the critical moment, with strong assault ability and a certain long-range fighting ability.
"Lord Xie Qixian!"
Sun Jian bowed respectfully, although it was not the strong cavalry he wanted, but he also knew that the riding skills of the Jiangdong people were a pit, and this special type of troops between light and heavy infantry was actually more suitable for him to use.
....
"Lord Qi Xian, down there~"
Seeing that Lin Xu had "suggested" all the generals present, but he didn't have anything to do with Liu Bei, he couldn't help but be a little anxious
"Xuande, since you are a member of the royal family, all Your Majesty has other arrangements for you, so I won't talk nonsense."
For Liu Bei, Lin Xu has always felt that his commander of the army, the level of marching and fighting is so bad, it is not bad to go to one side to govern, it is better to lead the troops or something, find a good place for him to benefit the people in the past.
