Chapter 297: A New Formation of the Army

"Gather everyone to come here today, Lone still has one more thing I want to discuss with you!" Liu Zhang looked at everyone in the hall and said, "Lone plans to reorganize the first, second, third, and fourth field regiments to adapt to the new situation!" ”

Xu Huang, the secretary of the military department, asked: "I don't know how the prince wants to reorganize?" ”

Liu Zhang ordered the maid to hand over the documents he had already drafted to everyone.

Everyone carefully read Liu Zhang's plan and found that Liu Zhang's plan was very comprehensive and mature.

According to the plan, Liu Zhang added or decreased all the garrison troops in each prefecture and incorporated them into the Department of Supervision and Military Affairs, which was responsible for maintaining law and order in each prefecture and eliminating bandits. The four field corps, oh, it should be that the five major field corps will be completely freed from the tasks of garrisoning, patrolling, and suppressing bandits, and become a real field corps (although Liu Zhang also distinguished the field troops from the garrison troops in the past, but at that time the strength was relatively limited, and the field corps still had to take into account the security of the station).

Among them, in addition to the original garrison troops in various parts of Yizhou, the newly formed independent third cavalry brigade under the jurisdiction of the Yizhou Supervision Army Department was also incorporated into the supervision of the army department, but the number of the independent third brigade was cancelled and became the first cavalry brigade of the Yizhou Supervision Army Division, with a total strength of 48,000 troops.

The Jingzhou Military Supervision Division is the same as Yizhou, in addition to the original garrison troops, a garrison cavalry brigade and a small naval fleet have also been added, with a total strength of 58,000 people.

Liangzhou has just been taken, and the garrison troops have not yet had time to be formed, and they have been relying on the garrisons of the First and Fourth Field Corps to ensure stability, which has greatly constrained the mobile combat capability of the First and Fourth Field Corps, but Liu Zhang has not been able to use the surplus troops to form a new garrison force for the time being, so he plans to wait until the 60,000 recruits of the Han, Barbarian, and Qiang brigades recruited this year have completed their training, and use them to form the Liangzhou Military Supervision Division, and strive to free the garrisons of the First and Fourth Field Corps in Liangzhou from the garrison task before the end of this year.

Liu Zhang, the land of the three auxiliaries, also set up a military supervision department, the army is composed of recruits who completed training last year and some Xiliang prisoners, with a total strength of 20,000 people.

Shuofang and Shangjun Liu Zhang did not have a military supervision department for the time being, and the Fifth Field Army of Shan Fuzhi was fully responsible.

The original 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th field corps were also adjusted.

The main generals of the First Field Corps remain unchanged, Wei Yan is still the commander of the corps, the deputy corps commanders Gao Shun and Hua Xiong, the chief of staff Chen Gong, the deputy chief of staff Feng Ji, and the other deputy chief of staff Lou Gui has been transferred to the Fifth Field Corps as the deputy chief of staff, and his position is taken over by Yan Pu, in addition to the first division, the fourth division, the fifth division, the ninth division of the original infantry army, the first cavalry division, the first independent infantry brigade, the fifth independent brigade, the sixth brigade, the eighth brigade, and the division directly under the corps, the newly formed sixth cavalry division has been added (Tian Yu served as the commander of the division, and the division was changed with the third cavalry divisionThe 18th Infantry Division (the division was expanded from the newly formed infantry brigade of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, and the post of division commander was promoted by Yang Ren, commander of the Fifth Independent Infantry Brigade, and Yang Ren's old post was taken over by Hu Che'er), the total strength of the reorganized First Field Army was 123,000 people, of which 20,000 were stationed in Hanzhong, and the rest were stationed in the whole territory of Liangzhou.

Xu Huang, the former commander of the Second Field Corps, was promoted to the post of secretary of the military department, the post of corps commander was promoted by deputy corps commander Huang Zhong, and the deputy corps commander Guan Yu has assumed his new post and his post of deputy commander of the Second Field Corps has been dismissed, and at the same time, the Sixth Division has been transferred from the establishment of the Second Field Corps, and the two deputy commanders of the Second Field Corps have been replaced by Liao Hua and Zhang Xiu respectively, and the posts of chief of staff Fa Zheng, deputy chiefs of staff Kuai Liang and Zhang Song remain unchanged. The Seventh Cavalry Division (Zhang Xiu concurrently served as the division commander) and the Eighth Cavalry Division (the division was formed by the original Beigong Yanqiang soldiers, because the strength of the Beigong Yansuo Division far exceeded the strength of one division, Liu Zhang's original plan was to carry the excess troops and disperse them into other cavalry units. But after thinking about it carefully, I feel a little reluctant, these Qiang people are natural knights, and scattering them is like smashing a brick, what is the difference between that and a cloud of loose sand? In the end, he decided to organize this part of the Qiang soldiers beyond the normal establishment into a separate division, with Beigong Yan's deputy Hou Wu, the Qiang people, as the division commander. In this way, there is a slight shortage of personnel, but it is easy to solve, the Qiang people are born knights, so Liu Zhang ordered to recruit some young and strong people directly from the Qiang people, and in a short time the division was fully loaded), the 19th Infantry Division (the division commander was promoted by Song Qian, who served as a deputy division in the Third Field Army), three new divisions, plus the 3rd and 10th Divisions of the original Infantry Army, the 2nd Cavalry Division, the Independent Infantry Independent Division, the 4th Independent Infantry Brigade, the 7th Independent Brigade, and the division directly under the Field Corps, the total strength of the 2nd Field Army after reorganization is 100,000 people. The main station of the corps is still in Nanyang.

Lu Su, commander of the Third Field Corps, Gan Ning and Zhang Liao, deputy commanders of the Third Field Corps, Liu Ye, chief of staff, Sima Lang and Wang Fu, deputy chiefs of staff, in addition to the original 2nd, 8th, and 11th Divisions of the Infantry Army, the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet of the Navy, the First Independent Brigade of the Navy, the Marine Division of the Navy, the Second Independent Brigade of the Cavalry (the strength of which has been increased to 4,000 cavalry), and the brigades directly under the two regiments, the Fourth Fleet of the Fourth Field Corps was transferred to the Third Field Corps. In addition, the newly formed Third Independent Cavalry Brigade was also subordinate to the Third Field Corps (Brigade Commander Ma Dai), and the total strength of the Third Field Corps was 163,000 after the reorganization, and the corps was still stationed in Yuzhang and Jingnan.

Yan Yan, the commander of the Fourth Field Corps, the two deputy chiefs of staff and the three chiefs of staff were all transferred except for the ban on staying in their original posts, and the successors were: Chief of Staff Zhu Jun, a famous general at the end of the Han Dynasty (because of fierce opposition to Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, since Dong Zhuo hijacked Emperor Xian to Chang'an, Zhu Jun was idle at home, and Liu Zhang was invited to go out after capturing Chang'an), deputy chief of staff Lu Meng, Cheng Gongying (Cheng Gongying is Han Sui's favorite general, after Han Sui's defeat, Yan Xing and others took refuge in Li Wei, he saw that Li Dao harbored evil intentions, and advised Yan Xing to think twice, but Yan Xing did not listen, He had to escape from the barracks in disguise overnight, and the later development was as he expected, Yan Xing and the others were all booby-trapped by Li Dao. After Liu Zhang captured Wuwei, Cheng Gongying was unwilling to bury his skills and came to take refuge), and the other deputy commander was taken over by Guan Yu. In addition to the 12th, 13th, and 14th Divisions of the Infantry Army under the jurisdiction of the corps (the 13th and 14th Divisions are temporarily stationed in Yizhou, and will be transferred to Guanzhong after the chaos caused by the reform is stabilized), the 15th Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, and the 1st Independent Cavalry Brigade, the 20th Infantry Division (Li Hui is the division commander), the 21st Infantry Division (Lu Meng is the division commander), and the 9th Cavalry Division (the division commander is a young general who joined the army after Liu Zhang's crusade against Wang Rui. He will definitely not make an exception to promote the young and unknown Wen Ping as the commander of a division at this time, but Liu Zhang brought a golden finger, and he is familiar with Liu Zhang, the famous general of Jingzhou, who can face Guan Yu and make many military exploits, and can be a division commander with a few outnumbered and tens of thousands of troops of the Eastern Wu Emperor, it is not Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts, a piece of cake! ), the 10th Cavalry Division (the division commander is Jia Kui, a native of Hedong County who is the same young as Wen Ping), and Guan Yu's 6th Infantry Division was also transferred to the 4th Field Corps sequence, and the strength of the 4th Field Corps after reorganization decreased slightly, totaling 150,000 people, and the garrison was Fufeng on the right, Feng Yi on the left, and Jing Zhaoyin on the left.

In addition to the five major field corps, Liu Zhang set up a separate Chang'an garrison, Xu Huang, the secretary of the military department, concurrently served as the commander of the garrison, deputy commander Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren, the chief of staff was concurrently served by Man Chong, and the deputy chief of staff was concurrently served by Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu, and the first division of the Janissary Division under the jurisdiction of the Wei Wu Division (the original Tiger Guard Division was reorganized, the strength was doubled to 30,000 people, and the rotation entered the palace to protect the safety of the palace. The division was reorganized from the original Chengdu Division), the Third Janissary Division (Zhang Fei's Seventh Infantry Division was reorganized, with a strength of 15,000), the Fourth Praetorian Guard Division, and the Fifth Praetorian Guard Division (the Fourth and Fifth Divisions were cavalry divisions, and the commander of the Fourth Division was the famous Zhao Yun in history, and the commander of the Fifth Division, Li Dian, was transferred, with 10,000 cavalry per division), a division directly under the garrison, with a total strength of 105,000 people, stationed around Chang'an City.

Here is an explanation, because of Liu Zhang's love for Zhao Yun, he showed Zhao Yun several times through Zhang Ren a few years ago that he was in a mood to sweep the bed, and Zhao Yun, who put He Zhongyi first, was always unwilling to turn his back on Gongsun Zhan, even when Gongsun Zhan was in danger, he was still unwilling to leave. Zhao Yun's repeated refusal did not make Liu Zhang unhappy, but appreciated him even more, he was not discouraged, and continued to contact and make friends. At the end of last year, Gongsun Zhan was defeated and died, Zhao Yun rode out of the siege alone, thinking that the general of Hebei had no place to stand (of course, Zhao Yun, who was loyal and righteous, would not take refuge in Yuan Shao, who killed his old master), and then thought of the Lord Liu who was far away in Yizhou, I heard that this Lord Liu had defeated the national thief Dong Zhuo, and all took Sanfu and Xiliang, and he might be able to avenge the old master by defecting to him, and he also wanted to see the second senior brother who had not seen him for many years. It is said that the senior brother Zhang Xiu has also defected to Liu Zhang, and he may still be able to see the senior brother...... Zhao Yun then set off for Yizhou, on the way he met Gongsun Zhan after the defeat of the disheartened, planning to go home to cultivate and weave a lifetime of Tian Yu, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu have always had a very good relationship, he can't bear to see a good friend bury a lifetime of talent, under his repeated persuasion, Tian Yu agreed to go to Yizhou with him to see. The two traveled together, and after arriving in Nanyang, they heard that Liu Zhang had moved to Chang'an, and then changed their route to Chang'an. Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he learned that Zhao Yun and Tian Yu had come to vote, and immediately entrusted the two with important tasks.

Up to now, in addition to the garrison troops of the state supervision and military divisions of the Shu Kingdom, the total strength of the other garrison division of the five major field legions has reached an unprecedented 700,000! Liu Zhang was sure that as long as he completed the reform and stabilized the internal situation of the Shu Dog Barking Kingdom, the 700,000-strong army would attack from west to east, and he would be able to wipe out all the enemies who dared to block it with the momentum of plowing the court and sweeping the holes! Perhaps, he only needs to put on the appearance of an eastward crusade, and many lowly princes will be frightened to take the initiative to surrender!
