The remnant sun is like blood, Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, and Yu Yunwen are standing on the city wall!

They had just gone to see those prisoners of war before, and those prisoners of war were extremely frightened, but under Zhao Chen's personal comfort, these prisoners of war slowly relaxed!

It was at this time that a "white line" appeared below!

When this white line appeared, the guards beside Zhao Chen became vigilant, and the alarm had already sounded, and countless soldiers and guards rushed towards this side!

"Don't be nervous! It's Yue Fei! Zhao Chen said violently.

"Ahh General Yue? Wang Shu was taken aback!

"Open the gates quickly!" Yu Yunwen said hurriedly.

At the moment when the city gate opened, the "white line" flashed through the gap in the city gate, and after a while, he had already appeared on the city wall and knelt down in front of Zhao Chen!

"The last general, Yue Fei, see Your Majesty!" Yue Fei said excitedly.

"Brother Yue, let's get even!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"There will be a great sin in the end, and I dare not rise up!" Yue Fei gritted his teeth and said.

"What sin are you? You have a great credit for defeating the Jurchens, and I am about to reward you! Zhao Chen said.

"The last general did not expect that King Kang's rebels and Jurchens would unite, and as a result, King Kang's army of traitors conquered Tongguan, forcing His Majesty to evacuate from Chang'an! Isn't it a great sin for the last general to take all the forbidden troops to the north that day, and put His Majesty in danger? Yue Fei said.

"It's not your sin, it's just that I didn't predict the union of King Kang and the Jurchens! Besides, none of the civil and military ministers in the court could have predicted it! Get up quickly! Zhao Chen said.

He personally held Yue Fei's arms, and Yue Fei stood up.

After Yue Fei stood up, he first looked at Zhao Chen carefully for a while, confirming that Zhao Chen had nothing to do, and then he was relieved! It's just that he is excited and guilty in his heart, and his eyes are slightly moist, which is inevitable!

"Your Majesty, where is King Kang's army of traitors now?" Yue Fei asked again.

"They should still be in Chang'an now! We have just defeated King Kang's army! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Oh?" Yue Fei was a little surprised.

As far as Yue Fei knew, Zhao Chen's men did not have many soldiers and horses, only 5,000 imperial soldiers, how did these 5,000 imperial soldiers defeat King Kang's army? Moreover, he had heard from the soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps that they had defeated the Zhang Jiajun, so he didn't know where to start!

"That's the ......" Zhao Chen smiled and said it at the moment!

After Zhao Chen finished talking about his experience these days, Yue Fei stayed there, he was surprised and delighted! After a while, Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty is like a god with soldiers, and the last general will admire it!" ”

Zhao Chen said: "I dare not use soldiers like gods, I am still far from you!" I was able to defeat King Kang's army, mainly because King Kang's army was too weak! You can defeat more than 100,000 Jurchen elite troops, this is really powerful! By the way, what happened to the more than 100,000 Jurchen army now? ”

Yue Fei said: "The last general learned that King Kang's rebel army was advancing westward, and he was worried about His Majesty, so he led all the forbidden troops to return!" The last general did not destroy the Jurchens, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness! ”

Zhao Chen smiled: "You are worried about me, so return immediately!" What do I blame you for? I am so grateful for your loyalty to me! ”

Yue Fei knew that Zhao Chen had nothing to do at this moment, and he was already full of joy, and he was almost speechless at the moment!

"We're actually waiting for you to come back! In the morning, I also told Wang Shu and Yu Yunwen that we would set up a new organization to collect intelligence, study intelligence, command all armies in a unified manner, and make good use of all the resources in the army! Now that you're back, let's discuss this together! Zhao Chen said.

"A new agency?" Yue Fei was stunned.

"Not bad! It is to establish a new organization, and the name of this organization is tentatively called the General Staff Headquarters! Our Great Song Dynasty originally had the official position of a staff officer, but the staff officer was insignificant, and this staff officer would be very different from before in the future! Zhao Chen said.

Staff was an official position that appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, the subordinates of the system envoy and the defense envoy all had "staff officer" officials, and there was also a "staff officer" in the Privy Council of the Liao State! As the name suggests, this staff officer is an official who participates in the advice! However, in ancient times, this staff officer was not valued! Generals generally have their own staff, and that is the one who helps the generals to give advice!

As for the "General Staff Headquarters", this is unique in ancient China!

Historically, it was not until the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries that the General Staff first appeared in Europe! After that, the General Staff was carried forward in Germany and became the highest command body of the German army! The Germans called it the "General Staff Headquarters"!

In Germany at that time, the General Staff Headquarters was mainly responsible for implementing the orders and instructions of the German emperor at that time, collecting and providing intelligence, formulating and organizing the implementation of strategic campaign plans, mobilization plans, etc., and commanding, deploying, and coordinating the combat operations of various military districts, theaters, and various armed forces! The General Staff Headquarters is also responsible for drawing up and organizing the implementation of the plan for the building of the armed forces, and is in charge of the organizational construction, equipment planning, and military training of the armed forces.

As soon as the General Staff Headquarters appeared, it showed its extraordinary side. Moltke, the famous chief of the General Staff in German history, pointed out that "some commanders in history do not need other people's ideas, they can think about problems and make up their own minds, and the people around them just carry out their will!" With extraordinary talent, he was able to win the war, but there would not be a single such 'military wizard' for hundreds of years! And the General Staff Headquarters can connect the wisdom of countless people and replace the role of such a 'military wizard'! "The Germans believe that no military genius in history can compare with a truly well-organized General Staff Headquarters!

In modern Germany, there are no genius commanders like Napoleon and Genghis Khan, but the German army's combat effectiveness is invincible! In the two world wars, almost Germany challenged the whole world with the strength of one country, although it failed, but the strength of the German army's combat effectiveness has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

And the appearance of the General Staff also marks the official appearance of the modern army! Unlike the ancient army, the ancient generals fought mostly by the personal judgment of the generals, while the modern army generally relies on the staff department, the headquarters and other staff institutions to command the operation, not only the state has a staff department, but also the existence of a staff department in each army!

Zhao Chen also felt that his army had great flaws after this war! He pondered and meditated, and only then did he think of the fundamental difference between the ancient army and the modern army, and then he decided to establish the "General Staff Headquarters"!

"Staff headquarters? What is this institution? Yue Fei said in surprise.

"We'll talk about that later! Soldiers of the Forbidden Army, they are back! Zhao Chen looked into the distance and said.

As the sun sets, countless soldiers of the forbidden army are coming in this direction!

The cavalry was at the forefront, and the soldiers of the infantry were running in the direction of Wugong County! They had been on the road for six days and six nights without rest, and they were already exhausted to the extreme, but at this moment each of them was in tears, and they were running in stride!

They could already see the figure on the city wall, standing there in a dragon robe, looking at the army with blazing eyes!

"Your Majesty! It's Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty, he is standing there, and he is safe and sound!"

"It's wonderful! Hurry, hurry, I want to see Your Majesty as soon as possible! ”

Every soldier of the forbidden army is very excited! Those veterans are the same people who trained with Zhao Chen back then, and those recruits are the young people who saw Zhao Chen together in Hanzhong back then! In their hearts, Zhao Chen's loyalty can be shown every day, and there is no impurity at all!

"Your Majesty! See Your Majesty! ”

"I'll see Your Majesty!"

Countless soldiers rushed to the city wall, and they knelt down one after another, tears streaming down their faces!

Seeing the appearance of the soldiers, Zhao Chen's heart was also turbulent, he came down from the city wall, walked out of the city gate, and came to the middle of the soldiers!

"Your Majesty, it's great that you're safe and sound!" A lieutenant general looked at Zhao Chen excitedly and said.

"Wang Ying, you are safe and sound, and I am also very happy!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

It turns out that this vice general is Wang Ying!

Wang Ying now looks like a dusty man, his clothes are extremely shabby, his clothes are full of dried blood, his hair is full of dust, and his face has many wounds! However, Wang Ying is now as excited as Yue Fei just now!

"See Your Majesty!" And humane.

This is Yang Zheng, and Yang Zheng is also very excited at the moment!

Next to Yang Zheng was his brother Liang Hao, and Liang Hao also looked at Zhao Chen tightly with his eyes, excited!

"Everybody's back! That's nice! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we have learned that you are in danger and hurried back! Good luck you don't have anything! Wang Ying said excitedly.

"I'm fine! We have also defeated the army of King Kang's traitors! You must be extremely tired all the way around, so let's go to the city to rest! I have already ordered the soldiers of the Production and Construction Department Corps to boil water and cook for you! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

The soldiers of the forbidden army were excited and unwilling to leave here, until Zhao Chen walked into the city, and they followed into the city!

******

Late that night, Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Yue Fei, Kang An, Yu Yunwen and others sat together to discuss the establishment of this staff headquarters!

Zhao Chen has only one concept of the staff department in his heart, and how to set it up specifically needs the help of these people!

"Your Majesty, in this way, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War no longer have any role, wouldn't it be necessary to abolish the Privy Council and the Ministry of War?" Wang Shu said.

"The Privy Council should be abolished! When the Military Aircraft Department was established, the role of the Privy Council had been reduced a lot, and after the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, the Privy Council no longer had any role! As for the military department, they can stay, and in the future, the recruitment work may have to be handed over to them! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, what should I do with Lord Qu Duanqu?" Wang Shu said.

"Let him come to the General Staff Headquarters! I'll give him a position! He is all-round in civil and military affairs, and now he is in the prime of life, and he can't waste his youth! Zhao Chen said.

"However, Master Qu may not be willing to come!" Wang Shu said.

"I'll persuade him personally!" Zhao Chen said.

They discussed it all night, but it was only a "framework"! The staff headquarters is a very important matter, and it still needs to be discussed in detail, and even Zhao Chen has to consult Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Wu Jue, Wu Lu and others!

"Your Majesty, now that our forbidden army has returned, do you want to counterattack Chang'an and defeat Chang'an again!" In the end, I only listened to Yue Feidao.

"Not for now! The number of rebels in Chang'an City is extremely large, even if the Zhang family army is wiped out, they still have nearly 700,000 people! And I heard that Qin Hui and Zong Ze are all there, both of them are not trivial, and Chang'an City is unusually strong, so it is not so easy to fight! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, Qin Hui used to be a prince in the imperial history, and he was quite famous in the court, does he also have the ability to use soldiers?" Wang Shu said.

"His talent is extraordinary! Don't underestimate him! Zhao Chen said.

This Qin Hui is the most famous traitor in Chinese history! And if you want to get this name, it is impossible if you don't have talent! Qin Hui is treacherous to the extreme, but he is also extremely smart, so he can control the government for more than 20 years, and in the end, even Zhao Gou has to look at his face to act! During his tenure as prime minister, the Jurchens invaded several times, but they were all blocked! Of course, every time the Song army wanted to fight back, Qin Hui would also stop it! On the one hand, because Qin Hui is an internal traitor, he may have a handle in the hands of Jin Bing, and on the other hand, the existence of external troubles is conducive to maintaining Qin Hui's position, so Qin Hui is unwilling to counterattack the Jurchen!

Thinking of Qin Hui's "big name", a faint smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face.

"In the future, we will mainly build the staff headquarters, and we also need a period of recuperation! Spring is coming, and the production and construction corps in Guanshan should also be busy! In addition, although there are a large number of the Forbidden Army, the Huanqing Army, and the Jingyuan Army, a large part of them are recruits who have been in the army for less than half a year, and these recruits still need to be trained well! There is also the problem of Sichuan, which must be solved as soon as possible! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, will King Kang and Jurchen attack us again?" Wang Shu said.

"They shouldn't be attacking again! This time, both King Kang's army and the Jurchen army have suffered great losses, and the war will come to an end for the time being! Zhao Chen said.

Yue Fei next to him nodded, he agreed with Zhao Chen's words very much! After the Great War, King Kang and Jurchen both suffered defeats, and the morale of the army was greatly damaged, and for the time being, they would not advance westward again!
