Deng Yulong said: "Brother Han! I've been working with you in Chuying for a year, and it's a pity that you have great ambitions but you don't meet your talents! ”

Han Xin said respectfully: "General, I have studied hard since I was a child, and I have studied the art of war, just to be able to become famous, if you can reuse it, Han Xin will be grateful for it all his life." ”

After that, he knelt down to Deng Yulong with a very sincere attitude.

Deng Yulong stretched out his hands to help him up, and said: "Xiang Yu doesn't know how to know and use people, let you don't use it, I won't be such a fool, you follow me, I will let you realize your ambitions." In this case, I'll let you be a military commander first. ”

As the commander of the three armed forces, he naturally had the authority to formulate a military system, and the Han State had just been established, so it was much easier to implement the new system.

A few days ago, in terms of the ranks of officers at all levels and the number of subordinates, Deng Yulong proposed to Liu Bang, specifically: 6 commanders, 19 commanders, 59 Dubo, 182 military candidates, 550 military commanders, 1,700 commanders, and 5,500 captains, and Liu Bang had already agreed.

"Jun Sima?" Han Xin didn't show any joy, although he was much better than the halberd Langzhong when he was in Chu Ying, but it was still far from his expectations.

Deng Yulong said: "Aren't you familiar with military books and proficient in the art of war? With your talent, you shouldn't just be a military horse, however, you must have military merits to be promoted, and whenever there is a war in the future when you need to transfer troops, I will try to consider using you as much as possible, and what position you can be promoted to depends on military merits, then it depends on whether you can grasp it. Besides, if a newcomer is allowed to be a general, the soldiers will not accept it! If you perform well and rise up with military merits, who can still disobey it! ”

Although he became a general, the soldiers and generals were all transferred to him by Liu Bang, and those people listened to him because he was the commander appointed by Liu Bang.

Deng Yulong wants to cultivate cronies who are the first to look forward to him, and he wants to build his own team. The promotion of low-level officers, as well as the later subjugation of generals, are the main sources of personnel in the squad.

Han Xin, who has great talents, is one of the people he focuses on cultivating, and there will definitely be many opportunities for meritorious service in the future, if the military rank is too high at once, there will be less room for promotion and reward in the future, and he will slowly promote Han Xin.

Han Xin said: "You have become a general all of a sudden, and you will reach the sky in one step!" However, Deng Xing's ability is indeed much stronger than him, and he is convinced of this. Okay, let's be a military Sima first. What he is most afraid of is not that he has a low military rank at the beginning, but that he is more afraid that there is no opportunity to make meritorious contributions or display his talents, as long as he is willing to give him a chance, he believes that he can do it.

"General Xie!"

Han Xin respectfully saluted Deng Yulong, and then said again: "General, can I learn more from you in the future, what you have learned is better than mine, can I ask you more in the future?" ”

Although he only talked for a long time, Deng Yulong's ability was only a small part of himself, but he had obviously surpassed Han Xin, making Han Xin heartily impressed, as if he had found a confidant, what a rare thing, just now he was still unsatisfied.

"It's not that you can't, but I have one condition, what ideas and plans do you have, or how to use soldiers, all the abilities of the soldiers you have learned, don't show them in front of anyone, if you have any ideas, just tell me, as long as it is reasonable and feasible, I will adopt it, and give priority to you to implement. As long as you can agree, you ask me about the affairs of the soldiers, and I will not hide my secrets. ”

After determining that he could become a general, Deng Yulong began to plan for the future development path.

If his own team members are too eye-catching and show too high ability, they may be transferred away by Liu Bang. As a monarch with a certain ability, he will definitely not let other people with strong ability stay by the side of the commander of the three armies, and he must guard against the commander-in-chief's power being too large and prevent you from cultivating cronies.

During the Chu and Han dynasties, Han Xin led troops to fight, during which he subdued many people, among which Li Zuoche was the most capable, Liu Bang transferred Li Zuoche from Han Xin in order to curb Han Xin and prevent him from being too powerful.

If Han Xin showed his extraordinary ability in front of others too early, Liu Bang, who was good at maneuvering people, would definitely transfer him away.

"General, the last general promised you that he would definitely do it."

Han Xin agreed without hesitation, in his eyes, Deng Yulong already took care of him very much, and this little request was nothing.

"My good brother!"

Deng Yulong patted him on the shoulder with both hands, and initially subdued Han Xin, and he was happy in his heart.

Han Xin said again: "General, it's not too late, can the last general stay and discuss the art of war with you again?" ”

Deng Yulong laughed in his heart, Han Xin was quite obsessed with military affairs, but if it weren't for this, he would not have learned rich military theories, and later put them into practice and become a generation of famous generals.

"You're really anxious, come on, sit down and talk!"

In the large barracks of the Han army, some soldiers have begun to rest, but the lights are bright in the general's tent, Deng Yulong and Han Xin are sitting on the ground, chatting at the night of candles.

Han Xin humbly asked Deng Yulong about the art of war, and Deng Yulong selectively explained it, which benefited Han Xin, who was intoxicated in this field, and admired Deng Yulong even more.

"General, it's four o'clock!"

After Wang Dahu's reminder, Deng Yulong finally wanted to stop, and this accident, he talked for more than three hours, and it was now ten o'clock.

"It's not too early, the days are still long! We'll talk about it when we have a chance in the future! Tomorrow you will be appointed as a military commander in front of the generals. ”

Deng Yulong yawned.

"Thank you, General, I would like to ask you one last question before leaving."

Actually, Han Xin could ask later, but he couldn't help it.

"Speak up if you have something to say!"

This Han Xin is really tireless enough, if it weren't for a valuable person, Deng Yulong would really be impatient.

Han Xin asked weakly, "General, how do you plan to fight back to Guanzhong?" Is it to rebuild the boardwalk? This in itself was not a question that a junior officer should ask, but he was too curious and wanted to hear whether Deng Xing's strategy matched his own thoughts.

He made a strategic plan, when he was in the position of the general of the Han army, how to lead the army to seize Hanzhong, Han Xin came up with a practical method, and hoped to communicate with Deng Xing, the only confidant.

Deng Yulong put his arm on Han Xin's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Of course I have made a plan, but this is a super secret, and the heavenly secret cannot be revealed, and you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

Han Xin was slightly disappointed, but this is indeed a secret, it is impossible to tell him, Deng Yulong should have already told Liu Bang, if there is no feasible method, it is impossible for Liu Bang to make him a general.

"General, the last general has gone back to rest!"

Han Xin finally left, Deng Yulong stretched his waist, and then took a shower and went to bed.
