Chapter 33: Jia Xu, the military advisor

Chapter 33 Military Advisor Jia Xu

Jia Xu listened to Lu Bu's explanation, but he also believed seven or eight points, he didn't think that he was an unknown person, a little Lang official, worthy of Lu Bu's effort to deceive himself, how did he know that the person opposite was a traverser?

Through these years of contact and private inquiry, he also knows what kind of person Lu Bu is, a young hero, wise and brave, famous at a young age but not arrogant, sincere to others, able to be courteous and virtuous, magnanimous, and not confused by the high-ranking officials in the court, not addicted to the prosperity of Luoyang, maintaining a clear mind, having a heroic posture, and definitely a perfect image of the lord.

And he thinks that he is rich and rich, has the talent to govern the country and the country, is familiar with military books and war strategies, and is familiar with astronomy and geography, but he has no way to serve the country, is depressed, and is not reused, so he should help a heroic figure like Lu Bu to compete in the world and use what he has learned in his life.

And Lu Bu sincerely sought medical advice for himself, he was honest, and he never threatened himself, so Jia Xu was sincerely moved by Lu Bu and was convinced.

After thinking about this, Jia Xu gave Lu Bu the courtier's courtesy to meet the king, "I wish to sincerely help the lord, participate in the great cause, compete for the world, and complete the foundation of eternity." "Since he is sincerely obedient, he will not hide it, Jia Xu has quickly entered the role.

"Haha, it is better to get Wenhe to help than to get 100,000 soldiers, Mr. Wenhe is older than me, and he can be commensurate with him in private. I will now appoint Mr. Wenhe as the commander of the Xiongnu Zhonglang and the post of marching division. “

"I can arrange the dispatch of the military and civilian people below, as long as the reason is reasonable and conducive to the development of our army, I will not interfere." "If you dare not die." With that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Zhang Zhongjing also applauded and smiled: "The general will have Mr. Wenhe's help, and he will achieve great things, but Mr. Wenhe is hiding it from me so hard, please rest assured that Zhang Jizi will try his best to recuperate Mr. Wenhe's body and do his part well." Then Zhang Zhongjing told Jia Xu to pay attention to rest, his body has not yet recovered, and he should not work too hard, and then he said goodbye with interest.

Lu Bu also felt that he was a little reckless, so he also had to leave, let Jia Xu rest first, and then come back to ask for advice.

Jia Xu hurriedly stopped Lu Bu, "Lord, Xu has been lying on the sickbed for a long time, and he is about to suffocate, but now after Mr. Zhongjing's conditioning, most of his recovery has been made, and his spirit has almost recovered, there is no time to delay, I have heard about the preparation of the old and new armies for the exercise, I don't know if General Gao Shun can be sure of winning?" ”

Jia Xu entered the state very quickly, Gao Shun knew that what Lu Bu lacked the most was the military division, and now that he got Jia Xu, he would definitely be a treasure, how dare he slack off, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the military division, Gao Shun is full of confidence in the soldiers in the trapped camp, and he can defeat those veteran soldiers by picking a thousand people at will." ”

Jia Xu shook his head, "General Gao Shun, I believe that the same number of people in the trapped camp will definitely defeat the border army, after all, the past record is there, but what we need is a big victory, a complete victory, and the best is a miraculous victory, so that the other party can be convinced and willingly accept recruit training." “

"Your new training method, the lord and I have told you, we have also discussed it in depth, I admire the lord very much to come up with such a training method, unprecedented, and more reasonable than the current training method of the Han army, more... More scientific, yes, that's the word. ”

Gao Shun listened to Jia Xu's words in surprise, the thoughts of the military advisor and the lord were surprisingly consistent, and the speed of accepting the new terms in the lord's mouth was not inferior to himself at all, and he was really not a mortal.

Gao Shun's attitude was even more respectful, "Yes, military advisor, the lord you said has already told you before, not only to accept their people, but also to subdue their hearts, Gao Shun must plan the tactics of this exercise." ”

When Jia Xu heard Gao Shun say that he and Lu Bu thought the same, he stroked his beard, smiled and said, "This is the same as what the hero sees, General Gao Shun, I will study the tactics used in the exercise with you in a while." “

"In addition, my lord, the booty and five thousand Hun women you obtained from your previous victory over the Northern Xiongnu Youxian Wang have not been rewarded, I heard that your second military rule is that all seizures must be handed over to the duke."

"Yes, what does Wen He think about the handling of these loot?"

"I think that all seizures must be handed over to the public, this military rule is very good, we must adhere to it, the maintenance of an army's combat effectiveness cannot be maintained by raping ** women and robbing property, or by strict discipline and unity of thought, so that they can understand what they are fighting for? It is for the country and the nation, not for oneself, for the sake of eating. “

Jia Xu thought for a while and continued: "Rewards and punishments should be clear, mistakes should be punished, and meritorious service should be rewarded. We can't divide titles, but we can reward them according to different levels of military merit, such as money, women, slaves, and even land. “

"Ordinary soldiers are very eager for these rewards, and the official positions of our army can also be promoted and lowered according to the dual standards of military merit and assessment results. Before this exercise, I thought that we could hold an all-army mobilization meeting and let all the Han and Huns, military and civilian people, etc. participate. “

"Prizes from the last war can be given on the spot, according to the size of the military merits, money, women, slaves, land, and food, so as to give strong stimulation to those who did not participate in the last war, and stimulate their fighting spirit and enterprising spirit."

"Well said, Wen He and I thought about it again, I have long wanted to establish a set of military merit system, one set for soldiers, one set for officers, each with ten levels of military merit, soldiers who have made tenth-level military merits can be directly promoted to junior officers, and officers who have made tenth-level military merits can be directly promoted to generals, and there are also heavy rewards."

"The method of calculating military merits is the number of enemies, the number of prisoners, and the materials and money captured.

"The lord is right, looking back, General Gao Shun and I will formulate the meritorious service standards and reward standards for these 20 levels of military merit, and I also want to add a few military regulations, such as all military operations must be subject to the orders of the superiors, especially ordinary soldiers, and they are not allowed to act without authorization.

"There is also no damage to the crops and farmland, after all, my Han is an agricultural country, when fighting, try not to damage the crops and farmland, reduce the losses and burdens of farmers."

"Another rule is that it is forbidden to kill innocents indiscriminately, indiscriminately kill prisoners, killing innocents will encourage beastliness, damage the prestige of our army, kill prisoners, it is ominous, and waste resources, you can use prisoners as slaves or coolies to pave roads and build bridges, mine, and cultivate land for us."

"Improve the system of returning all seizures to the public, and formulate a good pension system for wounded and killed soldiers." The more Jia Xu spoke, the more energetic he became, as if he had saved up a stomach and wanted to say something.

Lu Bu was also very happy, sure enough, having a military advisor is different from not having a military advisor, and he no longer has to meditate and think hard by himself, but he can be regarded as having someone as his companion. "Well said, Wenhe, you are really my Lu Bu's good military advisor, you can still think of so many things when you are sick, haha, you tell the truth, did you want to be my military advisor for a long time?"

"These can be set up as military regulations, in order to facilitate the memory of soldiers, they are made into five military regulations, and violators will not be punished. Okay, Wenhe, your body is just better, don't be too tired, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow, and the future will be long. ”

"Obey the Lord, but there is one last important matter, I have to discuss with you first."

"Oh, come on, you're welcome."

"It's the issue of army formation, this battle, General Gao Shun will definitely win, and then there will be 4,000 bandits, 5,000 border troops, 2,500 trapped camps, and some county soldiers, when the time comes, they will be disrupted and reorganized together, it will be an army of more than 10,000 people, and it will definitely not work to use the formation of the squadron of the trapped camp."

"From ancient times to the present, the most implemented in all dynasties is the Shiwu system, and there are also two-two systems, but with the increase in the number of people, there are drawbacks, I don't know if the lord has thought about this problem?"
