Inside the Forward Command.

"The New Army of the West Park did not catch many valuable senior officers, they should have run away. Otherwise, a large number of officers and soldiers of the New Army in Xiyuan would not have surrendered. Jia Xu looked at the battle report in his hand and said to Shangwu.

"If you don't catch it, you won't catch it, we are surrounded by two big fish, no, it should be a big fish, a small fish, the general of the Northern Army, Huangfu Song." Shang Wu said.

"That little fish is Cao Cao, this Cao Cao is not a simple master, he actually knows cavalry combat. If it develops, it will also be a hero-like figure. Shang Wu said. He knows that Cao Cao is a generation of traitors, outstanding in military achievements, outstanding in governing the country, and a famous poet.

"What, we grabbed these two fish and stewed them?" Jia Xu lowered his glasses and asked Shangwu.

"Huh. Let it go, I don't want to eat these two fish, tell the following, let them all pay attention, just catch it. It's okay to let it go. After all, we can't get too stiff with the imperial court, and keeping two main battle factions may be transformed into the main peace faction, because they have fought with us, and they know the danger of fighting with us, and if they are replaced by other people, I am afraid that the situation will be different. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. I agree. However, there is not much food left in the imperial treasury. It is to change a general, from where to transfer troops. Jia Xu said.

"Well, the current main thing is to reorganize, we must do a good job, and end the war of Huangfu Song as soon as possibleSecondly, we must complete the war as soon as possible, so as to effectively transform it into the current situation." Shang Wu said.

"Yes, it will be more beneficial to us to do a good job in the reorganization, if the reorganization is not good, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will drop very much, and in this case, fighting with Huangfu Song, as well as the future attack on Handan, and a series of other county towns will cause great resistance." Jia Xu said.

"Most of the framework of the reorganization plan has been reorganized, and some people will retire from active service, so we need to arrange for them, give them a certain amount of land, land bonds, so that the problem can be solved, right. What does Handan, and a series of county seats, mean? Shang Wu asked Jia Xu.

"It's this, look at it." Jia Xu said that he handed over a piece of information submitted by Zuo Feng to Shang Wu.

"Zhang Rang, this is a big eunuch beside the emperor, it can be said that the power is all over the sky. Such people have clearly told Zuo Feng that they will accept our terms for peace talks, and I want to strive to occupy Handan before promoting the terms of peace talks, so that we will not only occupy a transportation artery, but also the resources there can also give us a great advantage, you know, there are coal resources, and what I am worried about is that the imperial court will threaten war. In this way, the two sides will go back and forth, and the situation in the base area will also become bad. Jia Xu said that Jia Xu thought far away. Shang Wu himself didn't think of this.

"Yes, we only occupy the surrounding rural areas there, but Handan is not occupied, Handan is still in the hands of the imperial court, if we give up Handan, in this way, our resource advantage will lose a lot of coal is very important to us, not only an important fuel for our winter heating, but also our important resources, without such resources, for us, it will be a very big loss. This task should be completed relatively quickly, and I think that a new army should be reorganized so that they can immediately conquer a big city like Handan. Shang Wu said.

"Yes, preemptively seize major control of these cities. It will be able to occupy an advantageous position in the negotiations and in the future when demarcating the boundaries of the base area. Jia Xu said.

"It's not easy to accomplish such a thing, that unit is the first to complete the reorganization, and that unit will go. Or let the more mature troops go. Shang Wu said.

When the war between Jia Xu and Shangwu was not completely over, they began to plan some necessary conditions for the end of the war, such as the demarcation of boundaries, these things were very important to them, and in such a situation, many things were some things they could do well.

The situation of the Red Turban Army's base areas is not optimistic, because among these base areas, there are still many county towns that have not been conquered, and the Red Turban Army does not have the ability to conquer such counties, because they still lack the ability to attack and fight, for example, in the vicinity of Huguan County, the Red Turban Army has adopted a posture of encirclement, and the periphery is constantly attacking and reinforcing troops, but the core still will not use such a situation to fight. Such a situation actually shows that the Red Turban Army lacks a certain ability to attack fortified positions, and such a situation will become extremely unfavorable for them.

And if you want to prove this, the best way is to solve such a problem, or to say, to conquer a county like Handan, which can show that the Red Turban Army has such ability, and at the same time demarcate a certain area, which will be very beneficial to the Red Turban Army.

"I thought there was another way to solve this problem." Jia Xu thought for a while and said.

"Perhaps, through negotiations, for example, now we will contact the imperial court to make them aware of the seriousness of this problem, if they want to take such a city, Handan will become an isolated city, but, if the imperial court can properly withdraw, or in other words, force the other party to retreat, I think, the situation is still better, after all, these cities will become a big nail on our territory, either the court will nail a big nail in our place, so that we can't move, or, They are a piece of fat in our mouths, and we eat it. Jia Xu said.

"In my opinion, it is better to eat this piece of fat, for example, Handan City, so that we can deter the imperial court and be more active in future negotiations, and at the same time, it will also make us more active, affecting counties such as Handan, the eldest son, and let the officials and troops withdraw." Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. I think it's better to combine the two approaches. Jia Xu thought for a while and said. Then combine them together and give it a try. Maybe we can find a more suitable path.

"Then merge and give it a try." Shang Wu said.

Inside the headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Brigade.

"Let's talk about it, how to reorganize?" Ma Heng asked the staff officers present.

"Sir, our strength has increased. From the point of view of establishment, we will become an infantry division. It has two infantry brigades. A series of independent combat units, four infantry regiments, which is one more regiment than the current one, and the combat effectiveness has naturally increased. A captain and staff officer spoke first.

"We have been upgraded from a brigade to an infantry division, and this is indeed the case, but we must also note that the combat effectiveness, the core thing, has not changed much, and perhaps because of the upgrade, the situation of our brigade has decreased a lot." At this time, a major staff officer stood up and said.

"Well, that's right, let's talk about it, tell them about the situation of our brigade." Ma Heng nodded and said. Cui Changgen looked at Ma Heng. He knew what the old horse meant.

"There are a lot of new recruits in our infantry brigade, and at the same time, some backbones have been transferred from above to form the Fourth Infantry Division, so that a group will come in and a group will go out. Our backbone has not increased, on the contrary, it has decreased a lot. I also went down to take a look, the situation is very bad, the recruits who have been replenished, although some of the veterans of the Northern Army are really strong in combat, but they are all veterans. There is no shortage of cheating and slippery things. Not only that, but there are also some other recruits who are supplemented, they are all soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, their combat effectiveness is poor, and combat experience is not combat experience at all. From our point of view, it is not enough for us to see. The Major said.

"There are a lot of backbones, and the ones who are supplemented are veterans, recruits, and eggs, so what if we have expanded into an army? It is not a point that the combat effectiveness has declined. It's a big cut. Our Third Infantry Brigade is carrying the word assault, assault, whether you dare to fight a tough battle, this is our business. Let such veterans fight oil, they will definitely steal and play tricks in the back. It's okay to fight a tailwind war, counting on them to take Huangfu Song's Chinese army camp tent, I think, no. The Major shook his head.

"Those Yellow Turban soldiers, don't mention it. When eating, they run faster than anyone else, but they don't have much strength when they fight, and the soldiers are stupid, I saw that a platoon commander also beat that soldier, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army complained a lot, I think that this is definitely not an isolated thing, but should have a basis caused by a general phenomenon. Therefore, after the reorganization, after we are upgraded to an infantry division, the decline in combat effectiveness will be a big problem. The Major said.

"Hmm." The staff officers present nodded their heads, and they began to forget about their expansion into infantry divisions after the reorganization, because what they had to do next would be even more difficult than this.

"So, should the reorganization be carried out, and if so, how? We can't just be overjoyed to see an increase in numbers. You know, our troops are bigger. It is more difficult to command, more difficult to fight, and operations in many places will even make our situation more elusive, and we should be aware of such things and how much this situation affects us. Ma Heng said.

"The combat effectiveness of the troops has declined very much, and if the combat effectiveness is improved, this is the key." Ma Heng said.

"Let's talk about it. How can we improve our combat effectiveness, it is a good thing to be upgraded to an infantry division after the reorganization of the troops, but sometimes good things can also turn into bad things, don't have a hot head, and you will be nothing. Our first brigade, not the second brigade of the damn, will be expanded to 40,000 people, and we will be able to go to heaven. Damn, I didn't know they were going to knock down the capital Luoyang. Xu Dou said at the headquarters of the 1st Infantry Brigade.

When he received the order for reorganization, Xu Dou thought a lot and thought a lot, he felt that reorganization was a good thing, but at the same time it was a bad thing, after the reorganization, they would be upgraded to an infantry division, but an infantry division, they would be upgraded from three infantry regiments to four infantry regiments at once, don't look at it just one more infantry regiment, but the combat effectiveness has lost a lot.

Because most of the backbone of the Fourth Infantry Division was drawn from them, and these backbones would not be replenished for them in a short period of time, the problem of a large number of new recruits and a decrease in combat effectiveness also appeared on the table of the First Infantry Brigade. So, the key question now is how to solve such a problem.

"Sir, the only way at present is to select a new batch of officers and non-commissioned officers. Let them take responsibility. Only in this way can our troops adapt to such a situation of expansion in a short period of time, and under such a situation, many things can become extremely beneficial to us. A staff officer stood up and said.

"Hmm. Sit down and say. Xu Dou said with a wave of his arm.

"Yes, sir, I see a situation where we see a lot of veterans from the Northern Army, and they have a lot of combat experience. However, they also have some bad habits on the side of the Northern Army, for example, bullying recruits, combat experience is good, but there is no shortage of cheating and tricky things, for example, digging trenches, they let recruits do it, especially those soldiers from the Yellow Turban Army, they seem to think that only their practice can make them advantageous. However, we should pay attention to the fact that these veterans are not all cheating and cheating, although on this, there are many, many unfavorable situations, but we should also see their good side, combat skills, combat experience, these are the backbone we have may not be able to do this, their fighting will is poor, but we can let them learn, receive a comprehensive education, in this way, they can make up for such shortcomings, become a new qualified Red Turban soldiers, at the same time, our core is, Let them take on a certain responsibility, a large number of junior officers, make them aware of what needs to be done at the moment. Let them understand this, so that those veterans of the Northern Army who are cheating and cheating will be able to assume their own combat responsibilities, and they will become excellent soldiers and excellent officers. The officer said.

"In this way, the backbone of the bottom is solved. However, the middle level, we all know that we lack a large number of middle level backbone strength, how can this be supplemented? Each regiment also needs regimental staff officers, and we have expanded two infantry brigades, how can these military backbones, as well as officers, staff officers, replenish them? A lieutenant colonel said.

"We can only separate our headquarters." Xu Dou thought about it and said.

"Go and bring as much as you can. So the problem is solved. Xu Dou said.
