Chapter 122: Divide the troops to prepare for war

Early the next morning.

"Uncle Fang didn't say a few words to his subordinates, but Du Lieutenant Lu Jun chatted with his subordinates for a while." Fei Liang followed the car and smiled.

Xu Chu was sitting in the car, and he was taking his henchmen and subordinates to the camp in Shu County. Even He Zhen, Zhaozhao, Huang Shao, and Shi Lu, who had just arrived, also brought them.

Because of the information that Fei Liang brought back to the state capital, Xu Chu wanted to reorganize the army before inspecting the counties in the county. also because Lu Kang went to Yuzhang County and took away almost all the military attaches and county soldiers, Xu Chu also wanted to officially appoint the military positions in the county.

"What did Captain Lu talk to Fei Jun about?" Xu Chu poked his head out of the window slightly.

Fei Liang still smiled and replied: "It's just that I want to know something about the prince, and I also sent some things to my subordinates." ”

"Oh?"

"That Lu Ji is Lu Yuzhang's son, and half of Fang Bo's elite is under his command, but he is bookish, and he is not like a prince who can fight well, so he was afraid of the prince and marquis, so he asked his subordinates about the subordinates under the command of the prince."

Xu Chu glanced at Fei Liang, this gentleman is flattering, but his words should be true. Chen Wen came to Yangzhou, not like Tao Qian with righteousness, his subordinates can only be recruited on the spot, most of them are recruited in Jiujiang, and what he can rely on is Jiujiang Taishou, Runan Liu Miao, and the other has to be recruited locally, Lu Jun of the Lu clan of Wu County was appointed as the governor of Jiujiang, presumably the original intention was to win over Lu Kang.

Lu Jun is known as the head of a county, the commander of a thousand stones, and it is appropriate to pay attention to Xu Chu's combat power. Fei Liang said that Lu Junshu was too angry, but Xu Chu had to listen. If I remember correctly, this Lu Jicai is one of the four generals of Eastern Wu, and the father of Lu Xun, another famous marshal who is called 'too angry with books'.

It doesn't matter if you are a scholar or not, whether you can lead soldiers is the most important thing. can cultivate a son like Lu Xun, Xu Chu does not dare to underestimate Lu Jun.

"Anything else worth noting?"

"There is really one thing, when the subordinates saw Uncle Fang, they felt that Uncle Fang's complexion was not very good, and he seemed to be sick for a long time."

Xu Chu nodded, at this time he had arrived at the door of the barracks, got out of the car, and was about to beckon everyone in, but he heard a commotion inside.

Xu Chu's face sank, he came to the barracks to re-plan the subordinates of the various departments, and brought these people over, obviously to let people see the majesty of his subordinates.

I didn't even think that before I even stepped in, there was a commotion inside. In the barracks, how can you make a loud noise at will? To put it mildly, this is a manifestation of lax military discipline, which makes people laugh; At worst, if it is not controlled, if there is a roar at night during future battles, the whole army is at risk of crumbling.

Yingxiao is also known as night terrors, which have existed since ancient times. Imagine that the soldiers of the army are uncertain about their life and death before the battle, and under the huge mental pressure, one person screams in a dream, which is very likely to cause the soldiers of the whole battalion to be in a state of hysteria, and finally turn into killing each other.

Among the people who accompanied him, from Zhou Yi, Xin Bi and other scholars, to young students like Zhao and Shi Lu, I don't know.

Xu Shu immediately walked up to Xu Chu and asked, "Lord, Rong Shu will go over and have a look first." ”

Xu Chu agreed, Fuer smiled at everyone, and said, "Everyone, let's talk about the layout of this camp......

Among these people, Shu Zhao and Shi Lu's mood is the most complicated. They are from Anping Kingdom in the north, and they were 'invited' to Lujiang County by Huang Shao by mistake, and they didn't know much about Xu Chu himself at first, but as they continued to go south, and Huang Shao explained to them on the road, the two gradually knew what Xu Chu was.

As a student of Leyin, Le Yin and Shi Lu want to be able to be in Anping, down-to-earth, and step by step towards the official career. is willing to take the risk to escort Le Yin's corpse back to his hometown, even because the two of them have good character, and there is no lack of desire to make a name for themselves. It's no wonder that the two of them are like this, when Xiahoudun was fourteen years old, because someone humiliated his teacher, he drew a sword and killed this person, so he had a reputation of loyalty and courage in Peiguo, and they escorted Le Yin's corpse back to his hometown, and he could also be praised by the world as a righteous man who 'respected the teacher'.

Now that they are in Lujiang County, Xu Chu refuses to let them go back to their hometown, thinking that he wants to use them. Therefore, the two of them were very worried, and they didn't know what official position Xu Chu would allow them, and they were also a little unhappy.

Seeing that Xu Chu's military camp was rigorously laid out and the law was like that, he couldn't help but nod secretly to the one who had the ambition to join the army: The generals under the command of Marquis Zhaowu must not be mediocre people.

This camp was originally under Lu Kangbu. After Xu Chu's troops were stationed here, Gan Ning and Le Jin made a slight change under the discussion - the camp tent was moved backwards as a whole, vacating the camp gate, digging a shallow ditch to prevent the horse from breaking through the camp, and placing a spear and halberd on it. These measures can be seen in front of the camp gate, so the tricks that have always been studied by the soldiers are so felt.

After a stick of incense, Xu Shu turned back from the camp and said to Xu Chu with a smile: "Lord, it is not the noise of the soldiers, but the son of Gan Xingba and the Duke of Zhou is practicing the soldiers. ”

"Why are you in the camp when the training is in the school field?" It was Zhou Yi who heard his son's name when he heard the question.

Xu Shu stretched out his hand to invite and said, "Zhou Peng will know when he goes in." ”

Everyone entered the camp with doubts, and when they arrived at the Chinese army, they saw hundreds of soldiers gathered together, and a team of ten people was divided into more than 20 teams, divided into two parts, one by Zhou Yu to raise the flag and give orders, and the other by Gong Su.

In accordance with the banner, the two men and horses used wooden sticks and small shields as weapons, fought in advance and retreat, and practiced tactics.

Xu Chu led everyone to arrive, but Zhou Yu and Gong Su were so engrossed that they didn't notice it, but they still waved their flags and ordered their troops to fight. Everyone including the trick was terrified.

But it was because although the soldiers were not deadly weapons in their hands, when they fought, everyone did their best and did not spare any hands. From time to time, soldiers were beaten by shields and wooden sticks, curled up on the ground in pain, and then were quickly carried away for treatment.

He noticed that the soldiers on the side of Gongsu gradually gained the upper hand, while the side of Zhou Yu was tight, but there were dozens of people quietly hiding in the rear, and they did not fight, so they were used as rear hands.

Xu Chu summoned Gan Ning and asked, "Xingba, what is this?" ”

Gan Ning sighed: "Junhou, Zhou Yu you sent to my account a few days ago is very tight, and some leaders under my account are not convinced that Zhou Yu is young...... Hehe, and he looks too civil, so he came up with this method to cure him. I didn't think about it after a few battles, but my useless subordinates were all beaten up by Zhou Yu. This is not? After Gong Jun heard about it, he also wanted to try this kid's color. ”

I see.

Xu Chu turned his eyes to the front, and Gongsu's side had gradually pressed the opponent's 'big battalion', but Zhou Yu waved his flag, and the 'remnants' in front of him dodged left and right, and the dozens of people hiding in the last rushed out like hungry tigers going down the mountain, and suddenly made the Gongsu side chaotic.

Everyone in the entourage clapped their hands and said loudly: "Good! ”

Zhou Yu saw Xu Chu coming with a large number of people, so he accepted it when he saw it, and bowed his hand to Gong Su from afar: "Gong Jun, I have conceded!" ”

Gong Su shook his head and sighed, "Accept." ”

All the civil and military personnel stood or sat under the tent of the Chinese army, Xu Chu sat on the main seat, and said to everyone: "The Zhou family really lives up to its reputation, and the son of Zhou Gong can defeat my generals when performing martial arts, which is really a thousand miles of horses!" ”

Zhou Yi was happy in his heart, his face pretended to be displeased, and he said to Zhou Yu: "Wu'er still hasn't made amends to the general!?" ”

Gong Su said hesitantly: "No, I am not a narrow-minded person, and I am also glad that the prince has this talent." ”

Xu Chu praised Gong Su and Zhou Yu for a few words, and the matter was revealed, and the purpose of this trip was still in the establishment. At this time, the establishment is actually to be put in quotation marks, because the real establishment must be established when the Dong is being discussed, and at this time, the division is re-divided, in order to let the soldiers return to their belongings and step up training and preparation.

Compared with Wenchen, Xu Chu's generals are not so stretched, which is also because of the small size of Xu Chu's army. The current situation is that Xu Chu's subordinates are not local county soldiers recognized by the imperial court, but private troops, and Xu Chu has no intention of giving Gan Ning, Dian Wei and others titles such as captain, county lieutenant, etc., and still uses the old practice of Yingchuan to appoint them with the establishment of the army.

Xu Chu didn't want someone to jump above others, so he divided the subordinate parts into five parts, respectively with Gan Ning, Wang Yan, Dian Wei, Le Jin, and Gong Su as the military Sima, and under them, Zhou Yu, Li Quan, Li Tong, Chen Gong, and Zifan were the military marquis; Don't order Gong Yan and Li Ping to supervise the grain.

Then he ordered Gan Ning, Wang Yan, Gong Su and others to reduce the number of troops to four hundred, and divide the excess to other military marquis, all of which were made up to four hundred.

Although the generals such as Gan Ning and others hesitated, they finally received the order.

Everyone here understands the military system, and the military Sima has set 400 people as a regular practice, but Xu Chu asked the military marquis to also receive 400, the purpose of which is of course to prepare for the expansion of the army in the future. The addition and deletion of each part of the song also has Xu Chu's considerations, which is intended to balance the songs, so that the command of Gan Ning, Dian Wei and others will not be too strong, and the command of Zhou Yu, Li Cheng and others will not be too weak.

In the final analysis, why did Xu Chu favor one over the other, let Gan Ning, Dian Wei, Wang Yan, and Gong Su, who followed him early, suffer, and let Le Jin, Zhou Yu, Li Chuan and others benefit, just to give these heroes a chance to come later.

The discussion of Dong was imminent, and the heroes of that time, such as Le Jin, Li Quan, and Li Tong, would definitely be of great use, but there were Gan Ning, Wang Yan and others on top, and Gan Ning, Wang Yan, and others accounted for most of the troops, and the opportunities for other backward people to make meritorious contributions were greatly reduced. In order to let these people grow up as soon as possible, or for the sake of talents like Zhou Yu being trained, Xu Chu had no choice but to re-divide the parts with the consequences of displeasing Gan Ning and others.

However, it was said that except for Li Tong and Chen Gong, who went to Wu County, the various departments did not start training for a long time, especially Zhou Yu as a boy and Li Quanchu arrived in Lujiang to get 400 soldiers.

A few days later, Xu Chu was preparing to go to the county to farm, and Li Tong and Chen Gong returned to Shu County to bring news from Wu County's side - they did not see Wu County too Shengxian at all, but were driven out of the city by Wu County's soldier Cao Peng Zhou.

Xu Chu looked around, "Someone can't wait to beat me." ”
