Chapter 45: Chidori
Early the next morning, Tian Xin cleaned up the field in the army and led more than 100 military officials to accept Liu Bei's official reward.
Huang Quan held the edict, and Tian Xin reluctantly knelt on one knee in an iron basin collar armor, and his kneeling was not very standard.
Just listen to Huang Quannian: "Captain Fengyi followed the former general's Northern Expedition, was the first of the army, and he was the first to conquer all battles, and the soldiers of the three armies were praised for their bravery." And dedicate the "Four Dragons True Traces" merit, worship General Huya, as the deputy general of the Left Army. ”
The over-promotion and appointment directly crossed the level of General Zhonglang and General Pi.
Tian Xin caught the edict with both hands, and his face was excited: "The edict of the minister." ”
Huang Quan got up and asked with a smile: "Can filial piety know the meaning of the king's military horn?" ”
"Although the last general is young, he also knows that Jingzhao has a tiger tooth camp."
Tian Xin solemnly handed over the edict to his protector Luo Qiong, took the silver seal of Captain Fengyi from Luo Qiong and returned it to Huang Quan, and received the silver seal of General Huya from Huang Quan, and the left tiger talisman of the Huya army.
The silver seal of Captain Fengyi was given to him by Guan Yu at the moment, just an ordinary boxy nose button print, and there was a rope-like nose ring on the back of the silver seal.
The silver seal of General Huya is made of fine carving, not a simple nose button, but a turtle button.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were more than 20 military numbers of the Han Standing Army, in addition to the standing military numbers of the forbidden army and the border army, there were also standing hinterland such as Yuyang Battalion, Liyang Battalion, and Huya Battalion. The Huya Battalion is stationed in Jingzhao Chang'an, which is under the command of the Huya Commander and is the only standing garrison in the Guanzhong area.
The name of the Huya Army is more influential to the people of Guanzhong.
There is also a specially cast tiger talisman of the Huya Army, indicating that the Huya Army will be a standing battalion in the future.
After a brief rest, Tian Xin led Huang Quan to inspect the camp and check the status of the surrendered army.
Some people didn't understand their super promotion reward, and thought that they would be promoted to miscellaneous generals in front of Liu Bei.
But I can also understand part of it, Ma Chao is the left general of the fake festival, and he must have a certain weight to be a deputy general for Ma Chao.
I can also faintly perceive the different meanings of the appointment of this Huya general, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei or other miscellaneous generals, they have tiger talismans in their hands, but the tiger talismans are more like decorations when they go out on the expedition, rather than tokens of troop transfer.
The soldiers of other generals still listen to their own general's orders, and it has little to do with whether the tiger talisman is held or not.
It seems that this time a new military system will be built in Ma Chao's left army, a new system that facilitates central control.
Take this as an example and promote it in Guan Yu's former army, Zhang Fei's right army in the future.
Ma Chao's left army has set up a command framework, and it depends on whether the troops and materials can be replenished.
the main general, General Zuo, Duting Hou Ma Chao, and the deputy general Huya General Tian Xin; Huang Quan of the Left Protector Army, Sima Dong Chong of the Left Army, and Ma Dai, the general of the Yamen.
There is no other army leader in the new left army system, and how to build and organize the military system, Huang Quan, the left protector army, has a lot of power.
A new system of leading troops is brewing, and it is possible that with the death of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other influential generals of the older generation, the army will be included in the five-army system being built and gradually digested.
Tian Xin has a general impression of the formed Jihan Five-Army System, and he doesn't remember it very clearly, and now that he is involved, he doesn't know how the Five-Army System will develop.
Huang Quan inspected the state of the surrender of the army, and said to Tian Xin in public: "The climate is getting colder, and the grass and trees around Jiangling are not abundant, so it is indeed necessary to move to Micheng." This move was laborious, and the general had to make a detailed plan first. Otherwise, when the weather is cold and cold in October and winter, if the camp is moved for firewood and grass, it will only increase casualties. ”
With his arrival in Gangneung to announce the edict, the subordination of the surrendered army had been transferred from Guan Yu's front army to the left army.
More than 30,000 captives were placed in Gangneung, which was too dangerous.
Jiangling has military rations in storage, which can support the surrendered army nearby and save waste; There are also garrisons that can save the military expenditure of the escorted army.
Once the Wu army liberated the 30,000 surrendered troops and armed them slightly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, there is discipline in the surrender of the army, and what Tian Xin has to do when moving is to plan the route, site, and follow-up supplies.
The army did not dare to run, and now it is cold and freezing, and they are unarmed, and they will not survive for a few days.
Leading troops to fight, a lot of work is actually mathematical work, which is a co-ordination and calculation work.
Before dark that day, Tian Xin came to Huang Quan with the relocation plan, and at the same time brought a list of meritorious rewards for the Yi soldiers, hoping that Huang Quan could ask Mi Fang for winter clothes and reward cloth that should be allocated.
Huang Quan flipped through the plan and was quite surprised: "Good, this move is wonderful. ”
This is not a simple manpower transfer plan, Tian Xin proposed that after the Yizhou Navy Division transported Ma Chao's headquarters to Jiangling, all the soldiers who surrendered to the army would be loaded and transported to Yizhou.
The Yizhou Naval Division had no combat effectiveness and only undertook transportation tasks.
Anyway, if the ship is empty, it is better to transport all the unstable factors in the surrender army to the rear, which can be regarded as a prisoner, and also handed over to Liu Bei for probation.
The cost of surrendering and adapting the military officials is too high, and these are all people with roots.
But ordinary troops don't have so many worries, and they are separated from the original military officials for three thousand miles, and they will have fewer worries about surrendering the army.
Who can prove that they are themselves, except that the original officers know who they are?
Nearly 2,000 military officials will be idle in Yizhou for three or five years, and the vast majority of them will remarry wives, have new bonds, and start a new life.
As military officials of Cao Cao's Chinese army and foreign armies, these people are generally of excellent quality.
Although the manpower of 30,000 troops is precious, in fact, the most valuable and longest-lasting are the 2,000 military officers.
When they take root in Yizhou, they will become a new group of Northern Expedition activists.
Huang Quan carefully examined this plan, and asked with some incomprehension: "Why don't you allow Yu Ban, Hao Zhou, Dong Li Gon and others to enter Shu?" ”
"Protectors, such people are famous, and they are too deeply involved with the enemy."
Tian Xin said in a careful tone: "If you want to lure Wu Jun into the city, you still need to borrow the forbidden hand. ”
There was no third person in the earthen house, Huang Quan got up and paced back and forth: "The Han and the thief do not stand together, but we have the consensus." If the Wu army is led to betray the alliance, there may be slander. ”
Huang Quan is a native of Yizhou, and he is also a native of Jingzhou, but he most identifies with the identity of the Jiangxia Huang family, which is where the glory of his father and ancestors lies, and where the identity of the family comes from.
The Wu army attacked Jiangxia for many years, and later broke Jiangxia to kill Huang Zu, how many Huang clansmen died in the war?
Huang Gai was the general of the Wu army, and Huang Gai always served as a civil affairs officer in the rear during the attack on Jiangxia.
Seeing that Huang Quan began to reiterate the bottom line of Jingzhou people's 'East and Sun Wu' when he arrived, Tian Xin also knew what this bottom line meant.
Now that there is a buffer of Hanzhong on the western front and Xiangyang as a buffer on the central line, the situation of recovering the three counties of Jiangxia with Sun Quan has been formed.
But once the Wu army is engaged again, Jingzhou will be reduced to the front line.
The tragic scenes of the melee in Guanzhong and the Central Plains are vivid, and the people of Jingzhou would rather temporarily succumb to Sun Quan than let Jingzhou become a battlefield of three-way tug-of-war, becoming the second Central Plains and the third Guanzhong.
Now Liu Bei and Fa Zheng should be dissatisfied with the people of Jingzhou under their rule, so they let Ma Chao lead the army to move to Jingzhou.
Huang Quan's appointment as the left protector is estimated to be a compromise and concession, to avoid Ma Chao's pursuit of war, and to deliberately intensify the contradiction with the Wu army.
Triggering a war seems to be a natural specialty for Ma Chao.
But Huang Quan wants to revitalize the Jiangxia Huang clan even more, and if he doesn't return to Jiangxia Anlu County, why should he revitalize the Huang clan?
Returning to Jingzhou again, is Huang Quan just trying to persuade Ma Chao to restrain himself?
Tian Xin didn't believe it, and said: "Protector, I smell that a thousand birds are in the forest is not as good as a bird in hand." For the king's worries, for the Sanxing Han family, it is imperative to conquer Wu in the east. Ji Han's destiny should be in the king, what is the face of Wu Jun to ally with Han? ”
