Chapter 261: Dividing the Army (Third Update)
After Gan Ning retreated, Liu Quan continued to read out the list of rewards, Zhao Yun, and the generals of Liaoxi were all rewarded, but there was no big movement from the three in front of them, and everyone just listened silently.
When all the rewards were completed, Yuan Xi looked at the full hall of civil and martial arts and said: "Merit will be rewarded, and fault will be punished, I hope you can continue to work diligently, the virtue of the Son of Heaven in the body, and the heart of the people."
"No," the ministers hurriedly replied.
"Okay, what else is there to do? No, let's go and get busy" Yuan Xi smiled slightly.
"Master Hou" saw that Yan Rou, who was standing at the head of the generals, immediately stood up, and said with a serious face: "The last general has something to do."
"Vice Marshal, please speak" A hint of understanding flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Hou Ye, the Liaoxi Army originally had more than 40,000 people, and the last general was already exhausted when he managed it, but after the recovery of Liaodong this time, the strength of the army has increased to more than 85,300 people, the number is too large, and the last general is really willing and powerless, and I hope that Hou Ye can divide a part of it and let other generals manage it, so as to better enhance the strength of our army" Yan Rou said very seriously.
"What"
Hearing this, the former general of Liaoxi was stunned for a moment, there are only those who suspect that there are few soldiers, how can there be too many! I was suddenly a little anxious and reluctant in my heart, but this was said by Yan Rou, and they didn't dare to say more, not to mention that there was a Yuan Xi above, after the continuous subtlety of the military department, everyone knew very well that the army belonged to Yuan Xi, and the generals only had the right to use it, if Yuan Xi was not there, they might still be able to put forward opinions, but Yuan Xi was there, as long as they opened their mouths to say more, they would inevitably be targeted by the military personnel, although these people have no real power, but they do walk in the teams, in each song, spread around every ordinary soldier, say something casually, The future and status of the metropolitan team have a huge impact on their military status.
And many of the Assassin Mansion civil and military forces were surprised, their faces immediately showed joy, the Liaoxi army is too strong, although they are still quite loyal to Yuan Xi, but they are afraid that because of their strength, they will have an arrogant mentality, which will inevitably hinder the overall development of Youzhou.
Yuan Xi looked at Yan Rou who was requesting, and was quite satisfied in his heart, but his face was indeed very serious and said: "The deputy marshal is too modest, your talent, an army of millions can be commanded properly, not to mention an army of 80,000 people."
"Hou Ye has won the award, the last general asked himself if it was okay to bring tens of thousands, but this is close to 100,000 troops, the last general is really worried, and I ask Hou Ye to approve this suggestion no matter what" Yan Rou pleaded again, now he is full of wealth and wealth, and the ministers of Youzhou are envious, and he must give up some things in order to make the ministers feel at ease.
"This!" Yuan Xi pretended to hesitate, and at the same time glanced at Li Ru on the side.
Li Ru smiled slightly, stood up slowly, and said: "Hou Ye, the deputy marshal is public-minded, which is admirable, Liang also feels that the army of 80,000 is indeed too large, and it is easy to cause problems, especially between the former Liaoxi soldiers and Liaodong soldiers, because of the geographical and the situation of the confrontation between the enemy and us, there is unnecessary friction, and I ask Hou Ye to be cautious."
"The military advisor is reasonable, and Yan reconsiders" Han Yan stood up
"Unified Reconsideration"
"Shu Reconsideration"
Looking at Li Ru, Han Yan, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, the four giants of the Assassin Mansion all agreed, and the ministers, whether they were happy or unwilling, all stood up and shouted: "I'll wait for reconsideration"
Yuan Xi saw this scene, and after the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he sighed and said: "Since you all think it is so good, then do it, divide 30,000 troops from the Liaoxi Army, and the others are still under the category of the Liaoxi Army."
"Master Hou, isn't 30,000 too little" Yan Yanrou hurriedly said, the minimum in his heart was 40,000.
"The deputy marshal has made meritorious contributions, Xi is already very apologetic to draw 30,000 from you, if the Liaoxi Army is also beaten back to the original place, then Xi's assassination history is not only disrespectful, but also doubts the loyalty of the deputy marshal, it will be 30,000, and no one more will do" Yuan Xi said seriously.
"Hou Ye is wise" The ministers immediately admired, Yan Rou also nodded, 50,000 is not too much.
"As for the 30,000, Xi means to form two armies, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun," Yuan Xi shouted.
"In" I saw Zhang Liao and Gao Shun standing at the back of the row of generals, with a hint of excitement on their faces.
And Yuan Xi did frown, but still smiled: "Some people may have heard of these two, and some people may not know that they are the former number one god general in the world, the general under the command of Wenhou Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who have established a great reputation in the Central Plains, have come to Youzhou since Wenhou decided to go into hiding."
"What!" Many people were shocked, they still knew about several brave generals under Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were the two most dazzling among them.
"What the hell, how did the two generals go to the back" Han Yan immediately stood up, very dissatisfied, his face filled with majesty.
Many people were shocked, especially some ordinary generals were a little embarrassed, because Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's positions were almost at the door, but they were helpless, these two didn't fight at all, so they stood silently behind.
"Don't drive, don't be angry, it's our own decision, we have never made a war feat for Youzhou, and it's an honor to be able to stand in this hall," Zhang Liao immediately explained.
"The general's words are bad, if you divide it in this way, then Wen Hou is here, don't you have to stand behind, although the battle merits are important, but the ability is even more important, the two generals have already proved their strength, come forward quickly" Pang Tong hurriedly waved his hand.
"This" Zhang Liao and Gao Shun hesitated for a while, and then walked to the central position.
Yuan Xi, who had been silent, smiled with satisfaction and said: "Wenyuan, Boping, you really haven't made any military achievements, but your Wu Luoxi is absolutely trusted, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses drawn from Liaoxi will give each of you 15,000 people to form an army separately, what do you think?" ”
"Master Xie," the two of them immediately said gratefully.
"Deputy marshal, I will leave the division of troops to you to deal with, and help Wenyuan and Boping as much as possible, they are new to the city, and many of them don't know much yet" Yuan Xi instructed.
"Hou Ye is at ease" Yan Rou immediately hugged his fists, and smiled gently at this Zhang Liao and Gao Shun at the same time, when it comes to fame, he Yan Rou is not as good as these two.
"There is Deputy Marshal Lao," Zhang Liao and Gao Shun hurriedly saluted.
"The two are polite" Yan Rou replied with a salute, and the other civil and military officers saw this scene and had no opinion, these two were definitely qualified to command the army alone.
"Okay, then let's discuss it here today, three days later, everyone remember to go to the deputy marshal's house to have a glass of wine, haha" Yuan Xi reminded with a smile.
The ministers also laughed, but Pang Tong was a little embarrassed.
"Yuan Zhi, you come with Xi" Yuan Xi waved his hand.
"No!"
After the two came to the backyard, Yuan Xi sat on the main seat and said curiously: "Xi planned to marry you last time, but Shi Yuan said that you already have a fiancée, but this time why did you refuse to hold a wedding with Shi Yuan!" Wouldn't it be better to have double happiness coming to the door? ”
Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but you haven't thought it through yet, so let's wait!" ”
"I've heard of this woman, after you left home, she has been taking care of Ling's mother wholeheartedly" Yuan Xi said unexpectedly, Xu Shu asked himself that he still knows better, and he is by no means the kind of person who covets appearance, money, and ingratitude.
Xu Shu sighed, "Shu has always treated Yan'er as his own sister, even if he takes his life in exchange, Shu will not hesitate at all, but this is by no means a love between men and women."
Hearing this, Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Yuan Zhi, I didn't expect you to be a lover."
"I'm ashamed," Xu Shu blamed himself.
"It's okay, since that's the case, you can think of it yourself and say" Yuan Xi said.
"Master Xie," Xu Shu said gratefully.
"You are now the chief staff officer of the Secret Pavilion, help the military division, he is old, don't let him be too tired" Yuan Xi said with concern.
"Don't worry, Master Hou, you will definitely do your best," Xu Shu said firmly.
"Okay, remember, the first thing to do after taking office is to help Wen Yuan and Boping, although they are loyal to Xi, they don't have much sense of belonging to Youzhou, we must make them feel warm here," Yuan Xi instructed.
"Don't worry, Master Hou understands" Xu Shu nodded.
