Chapter 99: The wolf's fangs will be scattered
"So in your opinion, how should this person get along?" Li Ru's ability Dong Zhuo had already learned it when he pacified the Qiang people, and knew that Li Ru would not joke about this kind of thing, so he asked Li Ru for advice.
"Now that the man has left Guangzong, we have no reasonable reason to pursue him, and besides, he also has cavalry, plus tens of thousands of infantry, we only bring 5,000 iron cavalry, and we do not have an advantage in fighting hard. In this case, why not do a personal favor, after pacifying Jizhou, we will seal it on the table to see if he admits it, if he can accept us, then this person can be befriended, otherwise we can only think of eradication. ”
"Well, do as you want. I knew I would have brought more soldiers and horses with me so that I could take more prisoners with me. Dong Zhuo also regretted a little that he only brought 5,000 cavalry this time.
"Even if we bring 200,000 soldiers and horses, we may not be able to take many prisoners. First, there are only remnants of yellow turbans left in Jizhou, and now most of them are hidden in the mountains and forests, and the number will not be too much; Second, even if there are a large number of captives, the imperial court may not let us take the captives to Xiliang, which is thousands of miles away. So he Su Xiu can do this, but we can't do it. Li Ru shook his head and said.
"Then watch him get bigger?" Dong Zhuo still said unwillingly.
"I had to knock on the side and let him spit out a little, but I'm not sure if it can be done. Wait for me to repair a book to him. ”
……
Su Xiu didn't know that it was just because of his own negligence that Li Ru valued him so much, and he didn't know that just by asking for a prisoner, Li Ru would speculate about his ambition and Taishan's strength. He and his generals were escorting the captives back to Mount Tai on the way to discuss the disposal of the captives with Yu Ban and others.
"Wen Ze, you have worked hard in the past few months, but more hard things are still to come, this time to suppress the thieves, our army has captured more than 80,000 young and strong, in addition to those people under Li Damu to carefully select, these people I plan to find a suitable time to incorporate them, this training task can be quite heavy, and I hope that Wen Ze can take on a lot of responsibilities, just wait to return to Mount Tai, I will set up a recruitment hall, looking for some talents to assist you."
"What did the lord say, training is my obligation, why do you have to work hard?" Following Su Xiu for many years, he learned about Su Xiu's personality and ability, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yu Ban felt that the decay of the Han family had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and Yu Ban had officially recognized the young boss and changed his title from adult to lord. The change in this title meant that he was officially loyal to Su Xiu in Yu Ban, and was no longer just a subordinate relationship.
Hearing Yu Ban's title, Su Xiu's heart was shocked, five years, this general who followed him first finally recognized himself as the master, and his heart was excited, and he couldn't wait to rush up and hug Yu Ban and kiss him. This is not to say that Yu Ban is better than Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, but the joy and satisfaction of people who have not been impressed for many years finally have satisfactory results after their own painstaking management.
"However, now that we have greatly exceeded the establishment of the imperial court, and now we have left so many prisoners, it is inevitable that people will be talked. Besides, our army has already had a shortage of generals, and now there are so many more soldiers, and our army is especially lacking in grassroots generals, how can this be good? After all, Yu Ban has been a lieutenant in Mount Tai for five years, and he has a lot of treasures about the establishment of Mount Tai, and he also sees the natural problems very clearly.
"It doesn't matter if it's a matter of recruiting people, now that the imperial court's control over the local area is not as good as before, which of the princes in the world has not been supernumerated? As long as we don't go too far on the surface, we won't attract too much criticism. As for the matter of grass-roots generals, it is indeed a problem, do you see if this is possible, when the wolf's tooth was formed, all the members received comprehensive training in crime, and also taught some military arts, and now they are selected in a large area among the wolf's teeth, as long as they have the ability to lead the troops, they are arranged to serve as middle-level and low-level generals in the barracks. ”
"That's okay, but isn't the wolf tooth camp built by the lord empty?"
"Since I can form a wolf's tooth once, I can form a second and third time. What's more, there are enough soldiers now, but there are still many deficiencies in our army's ordinary combat units, and last time Lin Feng gave feedback that the scout intelligence was not accurate, and this group of people can quickly train a group of qualified scouts. Now that I am strong and strong, I need to refine the functions of the troops, and all-round special battalions like Wolf Tooth cannot effectively exert their capabilities, so I plan to divide multiple special battalions and perform their own duties, so that we can be more handy on the battlefield. ”
"Or the lord is more thoughtful." Hearing Su Xiu's remarks, Yu Ban was even more sure that the wolf teeth back then were likely to be Su Xiu's efforts to build grassroots generals in advance, after all, the training at that time was so comprehensive that even he himself was a little unbearable at first, let alone ordinary soldiers? However, the soldiers who really stayed behind have also become the real kings of soldiers, and their ability to fight alone may be different from Taishan's current main generals, but if you say that leading troops to fight is not necessarily much worse than others.
Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Guan Hai, who is less than a zhang behind him, was at most a reckless man who could only blindly rush to kill before he was close to the wolf's teeth, but now let him command 5,000 people to fight, Yu Ban believes that he will not lose much to those generals in the court, and the people who come out of the wolf's teeth are all all-rounders, proficient in foot combat and cavalry combat, and can plan and charge everything, but these qualities are not possible for many generals in the court.
The only regret is as Su Xiu said, this wolf tooth training is too devilish, there are at least 500 people who can be selected every year, but there are very few people left, so far there are more than 700 people who have died in the entire wolf tooth battle, and there is really not much room to play in the battle group with tens of thousands of people, more of the victory they laid for the army before the war.
While he was talking, the scout in the rear came to report quickly, saying that Dong Zhuojun had sent a letter. Su Xiu took the letter and looked at it, and his back suddenly felt cold, and then he stopped the team and called Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and other major generals to discuss.
"Senior brother, what does Dong Zhuo mean by sending such letters?" Zhao Yun opened his mouth to ask, and he also asked the doubts in the hearts of the generals.
"This letter is from the hand of Dong Zhuo's military advisor Li Ru, he must have known that I was carrying a large number of prisoners, after all, it is impossible to hide such a big movement from them. But I still underestimated this man's wisdom, presumably now he already knows the general strength of my Taishan and the future direction of development, and now the letter is to ask us to give them a little hush money. This time they came from afar, and the majority of the interests were divided up by us, and now they have no harvest, and we are now honest, and want us to let us bleed. ”
"I have long felt that this black fat man is not a good person, we have worked hard to earn a little benefit, he doesn't need to spend a single soldier, he is about to leave when he opens his mouth, so he is not ashamed!" Zhang Fei is upright, and he scolds when he opens his mouth when he is unhappy.
"So it looks like we're really going to give them some." After pondering for a long time, Zhao Yun spoke.
"Zilong, you are the master's junior brother, why are your elbows still turning out? Our brothers are desperate for the benefits they have snatched with their lives, why should he give him when he opens his mouth? Zhang Fei's eyes widened, if he didn't know that Zhao Yun would not betray Su Xiu, he would have the heart to use his Eight Snake Spear to give Zhao Yun a few holes.
