Chapter 168: Reorganized Again
On April 7, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, on the third day of Liu Ji's return to Chengyin County, on a hillside in the south outside Chengyin City, Liu Ji took dozens of generals under his command to toast a glass of wine to three newly piled up tombs, which were buried Cheng Yuanzhi, Zou Jing and Yang Hongtao who died in Xishankou.

The ten first-class generals, four second-rate generals and twenty-seven third-rate generals summoned by Liu Ji were already here at this time, and these forty-one new generals appeared outside Chengyin City at the same time, and the memory that the system gave to these forty-one generals was still so far-fetched, saying that these forty-one generals had received Liu Ji's kindness before, and had already been accepted by Liu Ji as a general, and they came to Chengyin City here and were summoned by Liu Ji.
Liu Ji's explanation of the forty-one generals who suddenly appeared can only use this far-fetched excuse, fortunately, everyone is used to Liu Ji's mystery, and no one asks the origin of the forty-one generals.
After toasting a glass of wine to the graves of Cheng Yuanzhi, Zou Jing and Yang Hongtao, Liu Ji turned around and sighed to dozens of generals and said: "In the future, this hillside will be called Loyal Soul Slope, and then there will be dead generals, including this general, will be buried here, and they will be worshiped every year in the future, as for the valley where ordinary soldiers are buried below, it is called Loyal Soul Valley, and it will also be worshiped every year!" ā
Dozens of generals nodded in agreement, casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, if one of them dies on the battlefield, can be buried in the Loyal Soul Slope, and be worshiped every year, it is also a good home for the generals.
Then Liu Ji said: "Now that our Chengyin army has been reorganized again, I hope that all battalions and departments will step up training, we are currently garrisoning in the grassland north of Xishankou, maybe when, there will be an army of nomads to attack our Chengyin army!" ā
It stands to reason that Liu Ji is only a partial general appointed by the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he can only control three soldiers and horses at most, that is, a battalion of soldiers and horses, but Liu Ji has already established eight cavalry and seven infantry in the Chengyin army before, and he has not taken into account the military system of the Great Jin Dynasty at all.
This time, the Chengyin army was reorganized again, because the strength of the army had reached more than 100,000, Liu Ji directly used the battalion in the Chengyin army, and Liu Ji appointed some generals as captains to act as the commanders of each battalion.
According to the military system of the Great Jin Dynasty, the official position of the lieutenant is only under the partial general, and he is generally the deputy general of a battalion, in fact, Liu Ji, the partial general, has no right to appoint the lieutenant, and the position of the lieutenant can only be appointed by the Great Jin court.
The Chengyin Army was reorganized this time, and a total of 13 battalions of cavalry and 4 battalions of infantry were formed, each battalion of cavalry was about 10,000 people, and each battalion of infantry was about 8,000 people.
The cavalry of the thirteenth battalion was almost 130,000 cavalry, and in addition to the more than 95,000 cavalry that Liu Ji brought back from the Cangxiong tribe, Liu Ji forcibly incorporated the cavalry of the more than 35,000 cavalry of the Cangxiong tribe captured in the battle of Xishankou.
The cavalry of the more than 35,000 Cangxiong tribes finally eliminated more than 1,000 nobles and cavalry officers, and finally almost 34,000 people signed a letter of allegiance and accepted the certificate of surrender to join the cavalry of the Chengyin army, and the certificate of surrender was the life of more than 1,000 nobles and cavalry officers of the Cangxiong tribe.
This more than 1,000 soul points, Liu Ji did not waste it, all of them were absorbed, so that Liu Ji's soul value reached 1715 points, but it was enough for Liu Ji to summon a first-class general, but Liu Ji was not so anxious, and was ready to wait to accumulate some more soul points, and then summon new generals.
Each battalion has four cavalry divisions, each with about 2,500 cavalry, and the commanders of the thirteen battalions are Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, Hua Xiong, Su Lie, Wu Liang, Qu Tutong, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Zang Ba, Cao Xiu and Yan Yan.
Considering that the cavalry needs to be assaulted, the thirteen cavalry captains are either top-level generals or first-class generals.
The fifty-two cavalry captains of the 13th Battalion included 27 newly summoned third-rate generals, as well as nine second-rate generals such as Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Li Dao, Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Hua Rong and Zhu Tong, as well as sixteen third-rate generals such as Hao Meng, Tang Wu, Dong Xian, Lei Bo, You Tong, Li Fangliang, Yang Xiong, Cheng Lian, Luo Fang, Xue Liang, Li Wan, Li Xiang, Gao Ming, Gao Liang, Su Cheng and Su Feng.
The fourth battalion of infantry was formed by integrating the original seven infantry and more than 25,000 Jin slaves brought back from the Cangxiong tribe.
Each battalion of infantry is also under the jurisdiction of four divisions, each of which has about 2,000 people, and the four battalions of infantry are Le Yi, Wei Xiaokuan, Gao Shun and Xu Rong.
The sixteen infantry captains of the fourth battalion of infantry are five second-rate generals, Lei Heng, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Xie Yingdeng, and Wang Junke, and eleven third-rate generals Liu Pi, Gong Du, Han Tao, Mu Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Zhang Shuo, Huang Kun, Cao Lin, Ding Liang, and Ma Zhan.
The guards around Liu Ji are still an infantry establishment of 1,000 people, but they were promoted to guard battalions by Liu Ji, and the captain is still Chen Hao, and the two first-class generals Wang Bodang and He Ruobi, Cheng Yi, Zhao Ben, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, Zhang Guiben, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Ding Feng and Jiang Qin, ten second-rate military generals, were temporarily appointed as captains of the Guards Department.
The reason why Liu Ji left so many generals in the guards battalion was on the one hand for the next step of expanding the guards battalion, and on the other hand, it was also to supplement the main generals of each battalion and each unit at any time.
After Liu Ji returned to Chengyin City, he summoned forty-one generals at once, plus the previous generals, the generals under Liu Ji's command were close to 100 people, but for the more than 160,000 Chengyin army, the number of generals was still not enough.
Now the cavalry and infantry of each department are not equipped with Sima, once on the battlefield, which part of the leading lieutenant is killed, although there is still a lieutenant above to temporarily command, but it is still necessary to send a new lieutenant as soon as possible to take over the entire department's soldiers and horses, at this time it will be the turn of those lieutenants of the guard battalion to go out.
Of the thirteen battalions of cavalry of the Chengyin Army, ten battalions of cavalry were stationed in the grasslands north of Xishan Pass, protecting about 150,000 Hu people, old and weak women and children, as well as a large number of livestock.
The two battalions of Zhou Kai and Hua Xiong were stationed in the pasture south of Xishankou, protecting about 30,000 Hu people, old and young women, children, and a large number of cattle, horses and sheep.
Only the cavalry of Su Lie's battalion was stationed near Chengyin City, protecting the old, young, women and children of nearly 30,000 Jin people in and around Chengyin City, and at the same time, there were two infantry units of Gao Shun and Xu Rong stationed outside Chengyin City.
Le Yi's battalion was stationed in Chengyin City, while Wei Xiaokuan's battalion was stationed at Xishankou.
