Chapter 70: Summit in the Clouds (Part I) (Part 2)

On the second day, all the reinforcements received the rewards issued by Lu Bu in advance, and they set off one after another to return to their respective prefectures and counties.

There were 8,500 infantry in the Jizhou army, and 3,000 Hejian elite cavalry returned to Jizhou, and Fu Zhu and Zhang He stayed in the Lu Bu army with Wang Fen's consent. There were 1,000 river horses, and Zhang He also stayed.

The Youzhou army suffered great losses, only 3,000 infantry returned to Youzhou with Gongsun Zhan's Wuhuan cavalry, Guo Xun had already gone back to wait for the holy decree, he was the same as Wang Fen, he was rewarded for meritorious service, and he was about to return to Luoyang as an official.

There were still 3,500 men left in the state army, and they returned directly to the counties. Si Li's reinforcements suffered the smallest losses, except for the cavalry in the 1,000 passes who followed Xu Rong and stayed in the clouds, the rest were led by Sima Fang and Xu Rong to return to Si Li, Xu Rong sent Sima Fang back, and came back to report.

Although the Taishou of Dai County and Shanggu County were appointed by the Youzhou Assassin History before, this time the two counties were assigned to Lu Bu's rule, but no new Taishou was appointed.

Lu Bu didn't care about those, he bombarded the original Taishou of the two counties directly back to Youzhou, and Gao Shun and Cheng Lian took care of it. In this way, the six counties of Biansai are all in the hands of Lu Bu, and the power is no less than that of a state assassin.

Ding Yuan didn't mind that his four border counties were assigned to Lu Bu, and in addition to being larger, these four counties were very poor in population and property, far inferior to the five counties under his jurisdiction. Besides, the son's is Lao Tzu's, and his own is Lu Bu's, so it's clear where to tell the difference.

sent away all kinds of reinforcements, and the rest were their own people from Lu Bu's military group. Lu Bu summoned all the senior generals and strategists under him, several leaders of the craftsman battalion, and even Lu Feifei. The brothers Jin Ilyan and Kim Rigoka also came, and Lu Bu had long regarded them as his own.

Ding Yuan did not shy away from suspicion, he listened on the side, anyway, he and Lu Bu are now tightly tied together, regardless of each other, Lu Bu's conduct, Lu Bu's style of doing things, are all affirmed by Ding Yuan, and he has long regarded Lu Bu as his own.

Lu Bu looked at the crowd gathered together, and said proudly: "The war with Xianbei is over, and then we will also enter the stage of recuperation, and there will be no more battles for the whole army for the time being." ”

"The first thing I talked about today is the idea of forming a new Honor Force, the wounded who have been left behind by our army to regain their combat capability, especially the reinforcements who refuse to return to their respective states and counties, I have decided to gather most of them together and form the Honor Corps that I mentioned before separately."

"These people are all veterans, and they have experienced the baptism of life and death, and if they train well, they will be stronger, and the backbone of the officers is just the wounded from the trapped camp, and the insufficient places are selected from among them according to military merit."

"The honorary unit is tentatively designated as the first division of honor, and two infantry brigades are temporarily established, with a number of 9,000 personnel, and the commander in chief of the unit will discuss and decide later, after the formation, the training of recruits to the standard of the camp must be assigned to the clerk." Lu Bu asked Gao Shun to be specifically responsible for the formation of the Honorary First Division.

"The second thing is the reconstruction of the trapped camp, in this battle of Liangcheng, all the brigades in the trapped camp except for the cavalry brigade have suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of the casualties are killed, so it is necessary to re-recruit soldiers and make up for the personnel."

"The officers who have lost in the camp can be promoted from among the soldiers according to their military merits, and it just so happens that I plan to set up a junior officer school, and the newly appointed junior officers of the Rong 1st Division and the 1st Division of the trapped camp will be trained as the first batch of cadets of this military academy, and I will personally serve as the principal, and the two military divisions and General Gao Shun and General Xu Huang will come to teach them."

"The third thing is the cavalry brigade, I decided to expand the cavalry brigade into a cavalry division, temporarily under the jurisdiction of two cavalry brigades, insufficient personnel can be selected from the Hun servant army with high loyalty, good performance in the early stage to supplement, moreover, there are a thousand Hejian elite cavalry and a thousand Guanzhong cavalry, all integrated together, the commanders at all levels will be reappointed at that time, and the division commander will be temporarily served by Jin Riyan."

Jin Riyan was flattered when he heard that Lu Bu had asked him to serve as the commander of the cavalry division, he had long known that the poison that Lu Bu gave him was fake, but since he surrendered to Lu Bu, he has been reused, he has shown his strengths, and he has already been sincerely obedient, and now he has to be so appreciated, he is even more desperate, and he has no second heart.

Lu Bu looked at Jin Riyan and Jin Rigang, "The Xiongnu servant army is also performing well this time, the establishment remains the same, it is still three brigades of 15,000 people, and the insufficient personnel continue to be recruited from the Xiongnu departments, and the Xiongnu men will be changed to soldiers in the future, and the work of grazing, you Hun women are doing a good job!" The crowd burst into heartfelt laughter.

Lu Bu saw that his eyes turned to Ding Yuan, who had been listening to the sidelines, and Ding Yuan saw Lu Bu looking at him, and hurriedly sat up straight, just like an obedient student, which made people laugh.

"Father-in-law, in terms of replenishing the personnel of each army, I am afraid that it will be mainly based on merging states, and I hope that you will give it convenience, I have read it, in the future, the county soldiers will retain the number, and the soldiers will not be recruited, and they will be directly added to the trapping camp, we can form a militia group, half army and half people, to take over the responsibility of maintaining local order for the county soldiers."

Ding Yuan had no objection, and nodded again and again. Everyone also whispered, and what Lu Bu said was enough for them to digest for a while.

Lu Bu looked at the people who were talking about it, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "On the issue of the reorganization and establishment of the army, let's talk about this first, these reorganized troops, I plan to hold a ceremony to award military flags to enhance their collective sense of honor. ”

"If we don't fight a big battle, it doesn't mean that we can put swords and guns into the warehouse and put the horses in Nanshan, on the contrary, the next war will continue. First of all, there is the Taiping Dao, and I think all of you here have heard of it. ”

"According to the information we have, it is not far from the day when they will raise an incident across the country, Li Su is paying close attention to their movements, and we have also spread it in a small area in the state, but it has not yet become a climate."

"But in the Central Plains and the northern states, it has become a prairie fire, there are Taiping believers gathered in various places, the world chaos is inevitable, the emperor is probably still in the dark, what we have to do is to put up a fence and wait and see what happens."

"If there is a good opportunity, take advantage of the situation and dispatch a small force to suppress it, and the right to train the troops. After all, I don't like to fight and kill among the Han people, what is lost is our Han's own strength, and those who can surrender will try to surrender as much as possible, and surrender without a fight. ”

"During this period, it is also necessary to strictly guard against the movements of all ethnic groups in the grassland, so as to save them from fishing in troubled waters and robbing while the fire is fired. Although we have greatly damaged the vitality of the Xianbei people, greatly depleted their vital strength, and provoked their infighting, we are still our number one enemy at this stage. ”

"Although Kebineng lost the old camp, this guy was decisive enough, and successively annexed two small tribes in Xianbei in the east, as well as a few tribes of the Wuhuan people, and his strength has recovered."

"Therefore, we must not relax our vigilance against them, and we must be even more vigilant against the movements of other ethnic groups, especially the Qiang and Di people, after all, they are directly bordering our state."

"Now that's the focus of today's meeting, I plan to promote collective farming within the jurisdiction of my six counties, and at the same time to the grassland migration, migration of people, promotion of collective grazing, colonization." When everyone heard Lu Bu's new ideas about Tuntian and immigration, they couldn't help but sit up straight and concentrate.

"Now taking advantage of the fact that the Xianbei people have just been defeated by us and their power has shrunk, the enemy has retreated and we have advanced, and it is a good time for us Han people to march back to the grassland." Lu Bu also raised his voice unconsciously.

"In the past, the Han people always sent a large army to expedition to the grassland, and withdrew their troops back after the battle, so that even if they won a temporary stability, but the grassland tribes are like weeds, wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows, only by immigrating to the grassland and implementing colonial rule can we solve the eternal pain of the grassland once and for all."
