Chapter Two Thousand and Thirty-Eight: Demonstration
"In other words, this aspect is basically revealed, we should settle the general account, Zichuan, you did such a big thing without notifying us, at least let us be mentally prepared!" Li You took a deep breath, all the original sleepiness was subdued, and the incident yesterday really said that Li You was angry enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, I was also playing idle chess at the time, and it was beyond my expectation that it would become like this." Chen Xi said helplessly, "I never thought that Ji Xiang would change so much. ”
"You'd better put this kind of thing on the record, it's not a joke, if it weren't for your close precautions, our first priority in the next step would be to move from reunification and out of the Central Plains to crack down on evil cults." Guo Jia said solemnly.
"There won't be anything like this again." Chen Xi also solemnly admitted his mistake.
"The next thing is to solve the problem of this group of captives, and by the way, you may also need to communicate with Cao Sikong, after all, some of this wave of captives will build a road from Chang'an to Hanzhong, and Chang'an to the Western Regions to the Green Mountains." Li You nodded, and did not continue to dwell on this aspect, but began to solve the substantive problems.
"Well, yes, there are quite a few of them, but do you think they're going to watch out for the captives? I'm afraid that it will not matter if it is directly distributed to local personnel to start construction. Chen Xi asked rhetorically, Li You was silent, he had also considered this aspect, but he was more worried about whether Cao Cao would covet this aspect of power after discovering it from other channels or by accident.
"I don't think it's better to tell about it." Guo Jia and Chen Xi's judgments are somewhat similar, although it is a bit risky, but on the one hand, Cao Cao himself is very likely not to know about this matter, and on the other hand, even if Cao Cao knows, he has no way to start.
"I'll think about that again." Li You thought about it for a while, and decided to think about it again, after all, it was not a trivial matter.
"General Zhang and others suggested that after the summer harvest, all the militias, Tuntian soldiers, and veterans from all over the country should be summoned to conduct a large-scale military training in a unified manner." Chen Xi said slowly.
"You agree?" Guo Jia asked curiously.
"I don't agree that they will do it, at most there are no Tuntian soldiers, this kind of thing is actually just a routine notification, do you really think that if we don't agree, people won't train soldiers? Not to mention, it seems to me that this thing is quite good. Chen Xi said speechlessly.
Under Liu Bei's rule, the separation of military and government has not been strictly completed, and it seems that the civil servants have more power.
In fact, many things can only be said to be that those military generals look at their own military advisors, and their own civilian officials are strong enough to routinely inform them.
More than ninety percent of the purpose of reporting this matter is to see if the other party can give some good suggestions, help or something, in fact, I really want to say that except for Chen Xi, in fact, other people can't control these generals when there is no war.
"Are you ready for battle? Are you going to shake off the money you've accumulated over the years? This is not a routine notice. Guo Jia said with a smile when he heard this.
"Well, that's what it means, I'm going to pull the army out and slip away, let Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu feel our strength in advance, and be ready to admit defeat obediently, okay, maybe it can arouse their fighting spirit, but it doesn't matter." Chen Xi smiled and said, "This is a money-burning sport. ”
"The soldiers who have registered and made the register must be counted, I plan to pull out the so-called 600,000 troops, 600,000 soldiers are complete, all in armor, and they have all experienced the battlefield and reached a talent elite level of the army, it should be very interesting to pull it out." Chen Xi said with a chuckle.
"Are there so many?" Li You and Guo Jia gasped.
Although Guo Jia clearly knew that counting the Tuntian soldiers, his own army of 600,000 was not boasted, and the standing strength of the population of nearly 30 million was only 200,000, but the 400,000 Tuntian soldiers did always exist.
But now you tell me that the 400,000 Tuntian soldiers are all elite talents, and none of our main battle legions have reached this level, are you kidding!
"Yes, you think I haven't done anything for so many years?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"I mean, the 400,000 Tuntian soldiers have reached the elite standard?" Guo Jia said in disbelief.
"Of course...... It's a joke. Chen Xi scolded with a smile, how can there be an elite army of 600,000, you are completely thinking too much.
"I said, 'How is that possible?'" Guo Jia muttered.
"I'm afraid that most of the 600,000 troops are already veterans, Zichuan's military system has eliminated many veterans of less than centurion to the Tuntian soldiers as centurions, and except for the core few legions, the other legions are constantly drawn and supplemented from the Tuntian soldiers." Li You said slowly.
Chen Xi nodded, "If the battle of Yuan Liu is a little later, my hand is better, and the training time before the decisive battle is longer, you may be able to see 400,000 talented elites who have gone through the war, and now it can only be said that there are 600,000 veterans, of which 200,000 are standing troops, and there are 300,000 soldiers who can really bless elite talents." ”
"Shhh Guo Jia gasped, 300,000 veterans with elite talents, how did this come up, to be reasonable, the legions that have always been used do not add up to 200,000 troops.
"It's terrifying, isn't it?" Li You was also surprised, while Chen Xi smiled.
Although Chen Xi's military system seems to be a bit criticized, after all, a soldier who has not died in battle when he is thirty years old is actually experienced and in the year of fighting, but Chen Xi's military system is to let veterans who have not reached the age of centurion retire from the army.
Although the centurion is only the captain of a hundred people, but for the soldiers who are born at the bottom, they are generally a big-headed soldier for a lifetime, so in reality, Liu Bei's soldier mobility is actually far higher than the normal level.
However, as far as the reality is concerned, these big-headed soldiers have not been discharged from the army without any disabilities, and most of them are in their early thirties, in fact, they are still very capable of fighting, plus they have experienced the war, and even reached the standard quality of a talented elite at that time, and they were put back into the Tuntian soldiers, in fact, they did not neglect to practice.
Even the vast majority of them were promoted to one level, as the bottom of the Tuntian soldiers, the grassroots and even the middle level of the generals.
These soldiers who have experienced the war, not to mention others, are far stronger in terms of experience than the Tuntian soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, and a large number of high-quality and experienced veterans have retired from the army and taken the lead in training as the backbone, and they know very well that sweat is much better than bloodshed.
This is also the reason why the overall quality of Liu Bei's Tuntian soldiers is quite good, plus Chen Xi retired the veterans year by year, and then transferred them from the Tuntian soldiers to the backbone, sometimes expanding the scale of the troops, creating a group of soldiers who have experienced the war, and sometimes downsizing, increasing the proportion of backbone veterans with combat experience among the Tuntian soldiers.
Up to now, relying on this means of mutual secondment and adjustment, the Tuntian soldiers under Liu Bei's rule have actually all been on the battlefield except for the new ones recruited this year, and even some of the nominal Tuntian soldiers have actually been purely elite veterans of the thirties after continuous adjustment in the past few years.
If life was hard back then, the age of thirty might mean that he was going to enter the ground, but at present, not to mention how good the food is, Chen Xi can ensure that these soldiers are well fed, and they see meat once or twice a month, no matter what kind of meat it is, the thirty-year-old veteran is basically in the most balanced state of experience and physical strength.
Just like when Yuan Liu fought and recruited troops for Wei Yan, it was too late to train new soldiers, and Liu Bei directly ordered veterans between the ages of thirty and thirty-five to report on it, when Taishan directly gathered more than 20,000 elite veterans.
If these veterans belong according to their belonging, half of them are really at the level of elite talent, so they pinched out a quite capable legion for Wei Yan on the spot.
This is only in Mount Tai, although Mount Tai was the political center of the entire Liu Bei rule at that time, and when the war was about to begin, it was normal to have more old soldiers, but its number definitely did not reach 30%, which shows how many hands Chen Xi already had at that time.
As for now, Chen Xi has secretly detained about 12,000 dual-talent super elite foot soldiers, about 170,000 elite legions, and about 200,000 veterans who have gone through the war.
I know that Liu Bei's regular strength is only 200,000, of which there are only 20,000 real dual-talent super elites, only 110,000 elite legions, and the remaining 70,000 or 80,000 are veterans used by Chen Xi in rotation.
That is to say, Liu Bei's strength to suppress Sun Ce and Cao Cao on his face is not even half of his own real strength, which is why Chen Xi is not afraid of Sun Ce and Cao Cao at all, if it weren't for Chen Xi's fact that he couldn't play the navy and only knew how to build ships, how could it be Zhou Yu's turn to jump.
"How come I don't know that we have such strength?" Although Li You had some guesses, when Chen Xi told the facts, he still looked at Chen Xi with a wooden face, Chen Xi played with these things under his nose, he was really surprised.
"Don't you know that General Guan and they have ever found fault?" Chen Xi said with a smile, "But at that time, I relied on my own prestige to suppress this matter, but in fact, it was not really discharged, I just incorporated them into the Tuntian soldiers as the backbone of the recruits, as much as possible to improve the battlefield survival rate of the recruits, and then gradually snowballed." ”
Can Chen Xi say that his snowball was almost kicked and broken by Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao's wave, Liu Bei hurriedly summoned a wave of about 60,000 veterans, although his own strength increased greatly, and even after crossing the Yellow River, the logistics supply line exceeded twice that of Yuan Shao, but it was indeed almost demolished Chen Xi's entire military service system.
