Chapter 32 The Second Restructuring
Tang Zheng and Wu Yifan came to the camp, everyone had already arrived, this time Tang Zheng in order to deal with the invasion of Wuhuan, Tang Zheng had all his family resources, except for Cheng Hu who led thousands of people to stay in Rinshan City, all the rest went to Xu Wu.
"Childe, we received news that General Huangfu Song broke the Yellow Turban with fire, and the Yellow Turban scattered and fled and met Cao Cao's reinforcements, and besieged tens of thousands of dead and wounded on three sides of Cao Cao, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and now the siege of Luoyang has been resolved, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun continued to march to Runan and finally defeated Peng Tuo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu in Xihua. The Yellow Turban thieves fled into Wancheng and were attacked by a subordinate named Sun Jian under Zhu Jun. The yellow turbans in Yuzhou were all wiped out, and Yuzhou was calmed down. In addition, Lu Zhi and Lu Zhonglang also killed tens of thousands of Zhang Jiao's army, and now Zhang Jiao has fled to Guangzong and Lu Zhonglang into a state of confrontation, and at the same time heard that there is a rebellion in Ba County called Wudou Mi Dao in Ba County, but the imperial court did not send troops to suppress it. Han Dang said to Tang Zheng and Wu Yifan, who had just come in.
"The front is good news, and the latter has already learned from the past, why doesn't the imperial court pay attention to sending troops to suppress it." Tang Zheng said.
"Now the imperial court is busy fighting against the Yellow Turban Bandits, where is there any extra troops to suppress a small rebellion of Wudou Midao." Cheng Pu expressed his opinion.
"Now most of the imperial court's troops have been dragged down by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although now the Imperial Court has achieved a certain victory over the Yellow Turban Thieves, but there is still a period of time before the Yellow Turban Rebellion is quelled."
"Well, Bajun is too far away from us, don't worry about those things for the time being, we are mainly preparing to deal with the invasion of Wuhuan and Zhang Chun, what have Wuhuan and Zhang Chun done recently." Tang Zheng said.
"Hui Gongzi, after Wuhuan gathered an army of 100,000, there was no movement for the time being, and Zhang Chun and the others have no movement now that they are stationed in Feiru." Han Dang replied.
"Now Xu doesn't have many people from our headquarters."
"In addition to Cheng Hu leading 1,000 people to stay in the mountain, we have more than 6,200 cavalry, including more than 3,200 people in the Modao battalion and more than 3,000 cavalry. All those who came out with us are here. Han Dang said.
Hearing this, Tang Zheng's mood was a little low, and he paid more than 3,000 casualties by exterminating Deng Mao and his ilk, and he didn't know how many brothers he could bring home with him after fighting with Wu Huan.
Tang Zheng wiped out Deng Mao's 50,000 army with more than 3,000 casualties, which sounded good, but Tang Zheng knew how much water Deng Mao's 50,000 army had, most of them were homeless people who had just put down their hoes, and more than 10,000 of them were about the same as Tang Zheng.
But it was these more than 10,000 people that made Tang Zheng pay the price of more than 3,000 people, if it weren't for the fire oil bottle, it was still unknown whether Tang Zheng could win Deng Mao.
Tang Zheng said a little depressed: "When this war is over, we have to strengthen training, it seems that we were all a little proud and complacent before, and we can deal with ordinary bandits, but we are still a little worse in the face of real soldiers, just like this time to exterminate Deng Mao, most of his subordinates are just recruited homeless, among which there are more than 10,000 elites, but these more than 10,000 people have made us pay the price of more than 3,000 people, it sounds good, 10,000 against 10,000 As a result, we only sacrificed more than 3,000 people to destroy the other party, You must know that we have the help of the oil bottles, but the enemy is fighting us with real swords and guns. I don't know what the outcome would have been without the oil bottle. Everyone looked at Tang Zheng and didn't dare to speak.
Everyone still felt complacent before, what a great honor it was to destroy 50,000 people with 10,000 people, after listening to what Tang Zheng said, everyone couldn't be happy, this is a fact, without the help of the fire oil bottle, the outcome is really unpredictable.
At this time, Tang Zheng said: "Now I am going to reorganize the previous team, here we now have 6,200 people, plus more than 8,000 people in Qishan and Wuzhong, I want to organize these more than 8,000 people into 8 thousand teams, and then train in each thousand team as a unit, and conduct a big competition at the end of each month, and the last two teams are responsible for the cleaning and sanitation of the whole camp, until the next month and compete for the last two." What do you guys think? Tang Zheng looked at everyone, and everyone glanced at each other, and then nodded in unison to express their approval of Tang Zheng's proposal.
"Since everyone agrees, then let me assign it, Brother Wu, Brother Xu, and Mingda are now each leading a thousand people from Xu Wu's three thousand cavalry as the first, second, and third cavalry teams, what do you think?" Tang Zheng asked the three of them.
The three of them knelt on one knee and said in unison: "Humble and command." From now on, Wu Yifan, Guo Mingda and Xu Dayou can be regarded as officially becoming Tang Zheng's subordinates.
"Han Dang led a thousand people from the Modao battalion as a team of Modao." Han Dang had long recognized Tang Zheng as the master, so he also knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates take orders." ”
"Cheng Mo, you also led a thousand people from the Modao Battalion to the second team of Modao. Cheng Hu is now leading thousands of people, and he is the third team of Modao. As for the remaining 1,200 Mo sword soldiers and the endless eight hundred cavalry and the eldest brother Cheng Pu, I don't know how the eldest brother is. Tang Zheng looked at Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu was not only Tang Zheng's sworn brother, but also Tang Zheng's savior.
Cheng Pu also knelt down on one knee and said to Tang Zheng: "My subordinates receive orders." Tang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Pu and said, "Big brother, what are you doing." ”
"There is a difference between the upper and lower levels of respect and inferiority, since I have received the position of a virtuous brother, I must obey the arrangement of the virtuous brother, although I am your eldest brother, but the rules that should be there should not be messed up." Cheng Pu said to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng couldn't say anything more, everyone arranged it like this.
"The three thousand-strong teams of Modao form a battalion of Modao under my command, and each team is responsible for training at peacetime, and the cavalry three thousand-man team forms a cavalry battalion, which is led by Brother Wu, and the training is also carried out according to each team in peacetime. As for the 1,200 Mo swords and 800 cavalry led by the eldest brother, they were temporarily organized into a battalion in the mountains. As for the division within each team, it is tentatively set as a flag chief for every ten people, a tun chief for every ten flags, a song chief for every five tuns, and a team of 1,000 people for two songs, and a team of 1,000 people. Tang Zheng disrupted the original army establishment and reorganized it.
In this way, Tang Zheng not only determined the names of everyone, but also made the army more reasonable. In the end, only Zhang Chao was left, Zhang Chao was responsible for intelligence collection, and now there were three or four hundred people under him, Tang Zheng thought about it and said to Zhang Chao: "Zhang Chao, you now hand over the intelligence work to others, and you will follow me after you take the original thirty-six horses." With the end of Tang Zheng's arrangement, everyone's positions have also undergone new changes, although there is no appointment from the imperial court, but now everyone has little fear of the imperial court, and everyone can see that Tang Zheng has some ideas of his own from Tang Zheng's personnel arrangement. But everyone didn't say anything, but they all understood it in their hearts.
"If you don't have anything else to do, let's stay here for the time being, let's go and get busy with ourselves first, and at the same time do a good job in the restructuring. By the way, I'm going to have a banquet for Gongsun Chan tonight, and everyone will get ready then. Tang Zheng said to everyone, everyone hugged their fists and said yes and then went out of the camp together.
"Zhang Chao, you go to the cafeteria and instruct, I will have a banquet for Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun tonight, you go and let the canteen prepare it. By the way, by the way, I also let people ask Jiang County to order. Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao beside him.
"Okay son, I'll arrange it." After speaking, Zhang Chao walked towards the cafeteria. Tang Zheng returned to his camp and carefully recalled this history in his mind to see what he had missed.
In the evening, Gongsun Chan came with Zhao Yun, and as soon as he arrived at the camp gate, he saw Tang Zheng and Jiang Chen leading a group of people waiting there.
Gongsun Zhan thought about Tang Zheng with a smile and said: "I came to disturb today, and I have been annoyed that Brother Tang has been waiting for a long time, and I am guilty of sin." Jiang County ordered that nothing should be harmed. Jiang Chen arched his hand towards Gongsun Zan and said, "Thanks to the blessing of the captain, everything is fine with the lower officials." At this time, Tang Zheng also said: "Where is Brother Gongsun, it's not an honor for you to come to the little brother, Brother Gongsun please, Zilong also please." Tang Zheng made a gesture of invitation to Gongsun Chan and Zhao Yun, after Gongsun Chan and Zhao Yun returned the salute, Tang Zheng took the group to play in the canteen, Gongsun Chan also came to Tang Zheng's military camp for the first time, and couldn't help but look around, Tang Zheng's camp was neat and clean, the tents were also set up neatly and standardly, and there was no one else around the barracks except for the soldiers on duty.
Gongsun Zhan looked at Tang Zheng curiously, not understanding what was going on. Tang Zheng also understood what Gongsun Chan wanted to ask, so he spoke: "Brother Gongsun must be very curious now, why he didn't see it in the barracks except for a soldier on duty." ”
"I don't know what my brother means, since we entered the barracks, we didn't see any other soldiers except for a few soldiers on duty, why is this?" Gongsun Zhan asked curiously, he was so curious, not only him, but even Zhao Yun next to him also had an inquiring look.
"Captain Caidu doesn't know, it's dinner time in our barracks, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else eats in the canteen." Wu Yifan, who was standing next to him, said.
"Oh, it's not so quiet even when eating." At this time, Zhao Yun next to him said.
"Everything is still for Brother Gongsun and Zilong to see." After speaking, Tang Zheng took the lead in the cafeteria, followed by Gongsun Zhan and Zhao Yun.
As soon as he entered the canteen, Gongsun Zhan was stunned by the scene in front of him, saying that it was a canteen rather than a vacant land surrounded by cloth, except for the place where there was only a place to cook and cook to build a roof, the other places only used cloth to surround it, the long tables on the open space were lined up neatly, and the tables were full of soldiers on both sides, and everyone was eating quietly without making noise.
Seeing this scene, Gongsun Chan felt incredible, and turned his head to look at Tang Zheng.
"Brother Gongsun don't be surprised, we still have several canteens like this, this is only part of them, after all, thousands of people are crowded together to eat in small places, so we will divide the eating places into several, this is the place where the Modao battalion eats, and the cavalry also has a special place to eat." Tang Zheng explained to Gongsun Zan with a smile.
Gongsun Zhan believed what Tang Zheng said, and felt that Tang Zheng didn't need to make any face-saving projects in such a trivial matter.
Tang Zheng took Gongsun Chan and everyone towards the camp tent prepared in advance, and when he entered the door, Gongsun Chan was surprised again, only to see that the table in the camp tent was full of vegetables, each of which Gongsun Chan had never seen, not made with the current mainstream stew and boiling.
Tang Zheng beckoned everyone to sit down, and Gongsun Chan also dined in this way for the first time, and everyone sat together.
Gongsun Chan is accustomed to the meal system, and usually pays attention to personal hygiene, he is not used to this kind of meal, Tang Zheng saw that Gongsun Chan was a little unaccustomed to it, so he said: "Let Brother Gongsun see and smile, it's just that I think everyone has to sit together to eat and drink together to have that atmosphere, Brother Gongsun also rest assured, everyone here has two pairs of chopsticks, one pair is used to pick up vegetables, and the other pair is used to eat, and the pair that eats will not reach into the plate." Hearing Tang Zheng say this, Gongsun Chan was a little relieved, if everyone used a pair of chopsticks to clip it on the plate, Gongsun Chan would be very awkward to think about it.
Tang Zheng picked up the wine glass and said to Gongsun Zhan: "I salute Brother Gongsun for this glass of wine, and thank Brother Gongsun for taking care of Tang Zheng." After speaking, he drank the wine glass, and everyone also raised the wine glass to toast to Gongsun Zhan, the atmosphere slowly became warm, Gongsun Chan also felt that this way of dining had a unique experience, and slowly Gongsun Chan let go, and began to drink with everyone one by one.
The meal lasted for an hour and a half before it ended, and Gongsun Zan and Tang Zheng didn't say anything else, just drank.
After dinner, after Tang Zheng saw off Jiang Chen, Gongsun Zhan and Zhao Yun, he walked towards the tent that was usually used as a conference room, and Tang Zheng asked everyone to wait there to say that there was something to discuss.
