Chapter Seventy-Two: Drama Talks About Soldiers

Li Min's arrival in other counties is just a letter to Xu Chu, and the key is whether He Jin agrees. However, according to Xu Chu's opinion, since He Jin wanted him to join the military division at this time, he should agree to his performance.

Guo Jia didn't say much about Xu Chu's decision, if you don't fight, you won't fight, and it's not bad to get Li Min away in another way. It was Xu Chu's judgment of the situation that surprised him a little.

The lord's understanding seems to be good......

He didn't object, so Xu Chu made up his mind and began to think about returning to Yanling. Before you go back, you always have to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

The problem of recruiting soldiers in Yangzhai and the issue of selecting officials...... And so on, if you can do it as soon as possible, it is always a waste of time to think about it if you overdo it.

When he was a dramatist, Xi Zhong slapped his chest loudly, and he had a lot of complaints about Xu Chu's soldiers. Then now, it's time to ask Xi Zhong how to deal with the current military affairs.

When it came to managing the troops, the military generals in the hall had their eyes shining, and when they heard Xu Chu asking about Ji Xi Zhicai, they turned their heads and stared at Xi Zhong's messy hair, all with a look of expectation.

Xi Zhong did not give in, and said the finished draft, "Compile the army, organize the team, and exercise the queue." ”

The nine words fell on Gong Su's ears, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "I'll do these three points every day, so there is no need to say more." ”

Of course, Xi Zhong is not untargeted, before Xu Chu came to Yang Zhai, he had secretly observed Xu Chu's camp for a long time. After Xu Chu came, he had a deep conversation with Guo Jia, and went to the barracks to secretly investigate the training of the soldiers, and came to the conclusion that although the generals were brave, they had no talent for training. He didn't respond directly to Gong Su, and asked Xu Chu in reverse: "How is the martial arts of the generals under the command of the lord?" ”

Although Xu Chu was puzzled, he still replied slowly: "Wang Yan, Gong Su, and Zifan, with one enemy and ten; Lejin, Dian Wei, Ganning Tiger and Wolf Soldiers. ”

Xi Zhong nodded, and asked again: "These are all generals above the military waiting, and the commanders and team rates below the military waiting, can the lord know?" ”

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and when he reached the level of the tun long team rate, he didn't know much.

The play was stopped, and he said to Gong Su, Dian Wei, and Zifan: "In the past, the overlord of Western Chu didn't like to study when he was young, and he couldn't learn swords, so his Ji father Xiang Liang asked him what he wanted? Answer: The sword, one enemy, is not enough to learn. Learn from all enemies. ”

The name of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is like thunder, and everyone here knows it. Gong Su listened to the deep meaning in the words of the opera, put away his contempt, and asked: "What the opera king said is ten thousand enemies, we yearn for it, but how can we do it?" ”

Xi Zhong smiled slightly, and said: "You were ordered by the lord to train the soldiers before, and if you practice well, you will naturally be ten thousand enemies." ”

The implication is that you didn't practice well enough.

He also listened to the drama and said: "Practicing soldiers is nothing more than practicing two things: ordering and prohibiting, and being brave and taking the lead." The former is discipline, the latter is guts. Looking at the soldiers under your command, you have courage, but discipline is worrying. Why? Many chivalrous and heroic people, people who act arbitrarily, such people are brave and brave, do not teach the banner, do not know the discipline, and finally the courage of the horseman. ”

Gong Su and the others were thoughtful, frowning and not speaking. Xu Chu was also thinking about Xi Zhong's words, and he was deeply touched by this.

Since the uprising, he has delegated military power to Wang Yan, Gong Su and other confidants, while he himself has been busy with political affairs. However, Wang Yan is a hero of the Changshe Society, and Gong Su, Zifan, etc. are also born in a reckless manner, and the soldiers they recruited are braver than the people of Qianshou, but they do not have the simplicity of the people of Qianshou, so they are naturally not easy to train.

Xu Chu said: "Zhicai has any good rules, but please say it clearly." ”

"It's a bit of a humble opinion." With a rare word of humility, Xi Zhong spit out the block in his chest.

The first is the reorganization of the Shiwu. All the soldiers of the same township and clan in the army were organized into one army, and one person was selected as the commander and one was the commander. Then these Shiwu were scattered and organized into a 'team', with one person as the team rate. Then set up a tun and set up a song.

The key to this article is to organize the soldiers of the same township or the same clan together, because the local concept of the people of the time is deeply planted, and it is easier to control and train if the Wuzhong and Shizhong are close to the villagers.

The second is the Mingjiao Banner Order. With 100 people as the basic unit, a team deputy is added in addition to the team rate, who is responsible for holding the flag. Soldiers advance and retreat, just look at the banner and act. In addition, a snare drum order was added to regulate the whole army. If a drum is down, the soldiers advance 100 meters, and after the three drums are completed, those who fail to reach the enemy's position will be punished as cowardice.

Third, it is necessary to select the best and eliminate the inferior, select non-commissioned officers and soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in combat as lieutenant generals and colonels, and eliminate mediocre ones. And selected the good shooters to form Zhang Shi, and ordered the whole army to practice bows and crossbows. Those who perform well will directly serve as officers of the Zhangshi.

The three points that Xi Zhong said are very close to reality, and the generals in the hall can not only understand it, but also immediately analyze and digest it slowly by comparing it with their usual military training.

Xu Chu was very happy, and asked people to write down what Xi Zhong said, organize it into a military order and distribute it everywhere.

Suddenly remembered an allusion from somewhere in his previous life, Xu Chu said: "Zeng Wengu was a general, and every time he set out from the battle, he asked the military judge to arrest the soldiers who disturbed the military discipline and beheaded them in public, so he could always make the military discipline strict and win many battles. You can understand it. ”

The allusion that Xu Chu said is the matter of Yang Su, a famous general who later followed the 'Emperor Wen of Sui' Yang Jian, and there are still more than 300 years from now, Guo Jia and others have not heard of it, so they said: "Which sage is the lord talking about?" ”

Xu Chu laughed, "After reading it, I forgot who it was, in short, there is such a thing." Then he said to everyone: "The general, the envoy of Yuzhou Mu is still in Yanling, and they can't be allowed to wait too long." There is also the matter of dealing with the aftermath. I have already thought about the candidate for Yang Zhai County, so I will hand it over to Fei Jun, and who can be assigned to Yang Zhai to supervise the defense of the city has not yet been decided. Who of you would like to take on this responsibility? ”

No one took the initiative to speak, and Tun Bing Yang Zhai is a matter of both opportunities and risks. Yang Zhai is a hundred miles away from Yanling, and the commissioner appointed by Xu Chu is undoubtedly higher in status than staying in Yanling County. However, there are many surnames of Yang Zhai, and after the surnames Zhang and Huang are removed, there are still Xin clans, Guo clans and other prominent families who are not under Xu Chu's orders. Especially the Guo family, the future leader of their clan, Guo Tu, still has a grudge against Xu Chu, and it is very likely that there will be trouble.

No one expressed his position, so Guo Jia made a suggestion: "Qu Jun is waiting for the palace, his mind is delicate, and he can stay in Yang Zhai." ”

Gong Su glanced at Guo Jia gratefully, and said in the envious eyes of Zifan and Dian Wei: "I am willing to share the worries of the Lord." ”

Xu Chuyou nodded, "Okay." Fei Jun, I will immediately go to the court, and you will be the Cheng of Yangzhai County, and you and the palace will work together in Yangzhai to do Tuntian affairs, recruit soldiers, and train soldiers in the method of drama. ”

Fei Liang received the order with great interest, "Obey the orders of the prince." "With the support of the Fei family, at least Gong Su will not fight alone in Yangzhai.

"Zifan doesn't have to go back to Yanling, depose you as a military candidate, and stay in Yangzhai to help Gongsu train the army."

Zifan was overjoyed, after that reckless entry into the army, he was first hidden in the snow for a period of time, and then he was responsible for escorting grain and grass, which was quite frustrated. But Xu Chu had an order first, and he could only honestly wait to be used again, and this use was raised to the next level.

Although Xu Chu was anxious, he still waited for two days, and after seeing that the soldiers were reorganized with Xizhong's method and practiced in an orderly manner, he ordered most of the soldiers who came to Yangzhai this time to stay, and he returned to Yanling with 500 people.

On the way back, Guo Jia asked Xu Chu, "What should I do if Li Min in Yangcheng can't go to other counties?" ”

Xu Chu spit out a word from his mouth as a matter of course: "Kill." ”

On the side, he heard the words and smiled without saying a word.
