Chapter 285: Strong Lu Bu (5)
After the meeting ended, Zhang Yang immediately went to Li Su to discuss, and considered ways to persuade Li Su as he went.
What surprised him was to tell Li Su, who immediately agreed to go out with the army and applied to be the vanguard. He felt that he and the ten guards were all good horses, and even if there was danger, they could quickly get out of danger.
Li Su immediately went to find the guards, and as soon as he talked to the ten guards, the ten senior cavalrymen were also very excited and immediately agreed; They all love to kill, plunder, and have a deep desire to conquer foreign races.
After Zhang Yang reported to Lu Bu, Lu Bu's good impression of Li Su increased a little, after all, a friend, did not stand by or hide far away, and also applied to be a pioneer, which was very interesting, so he readily agreed to Li Su's request and transferred 2,000 cavalry to Li Su's temporary jurisdiction.
Li Su's family is still in Linhe City, and Lu Bu is not afraid of Li Su's tricks.
Zhang Yang immediately went to Li Su to explain the expedition.
Li Su was very happy, but there was still more than a day to go, and he felt that time was very tight, and immediately asked Zhang Yang to take him to receive the army, he had to be familiar with the situation of the cavalry he was leading.
When he came to the barracks, according to Lu Bu's order, Zhang Yang transferred five cavalry divisions to Li Su's jurisdiction, each of which was four tuns.
Since there was Lu Bu's order, several military candidates followed the order, and they all knew Li Su's strength, and it was their honor to follow Li Su as a pioneer.
Li Su immediately asked the troops to gather the troops, and he wanted to check the actual situation of the troops; And he sent for ten guards.
Li Su was very dissatisfied with the situation of allocating five parts to Li Su, because it was not a long time after the adaptation, there was a big difference in age, uneven height levels, uneven fat and thin, Li Su decided to integrate the existing cavalry.
First of all, people under the age of 18 and over the age of 40 are required to be elected, even if they are officers, as long as they are within this age group.
A total of 135 people appeared.
After the ten guards arrived at the barracks, Li Su asked them to be responsible for the reorganization of one part for every two people, similar to the method of Taoyuan Fort, Mr. Riding and archery competition, those who hit the target below three arrows were also required to be out of the ranks, and three hundred and forty people were eliminated.
Subsequently, it was a strength assessment, and the stone lock of one stone was lifted ten times in a row, and those who failed were eliminated, and another two hundred and twenty-six people were eliminated.
A total of 700 people were eliminated.
Li Su changed the remaining 1,000 people into thirteen tuns, one of which was a cavalry tun as a scout tun, and the remaining twelve tuns were organized into three divisions, each of which had four tuns under its jurisdiction, led by three military commanders respectively; The eliminated ones were changed to a ministry, with seven tuns under its jurisdiction, as a baggage song, led by a military candidate, mainly responsible for logistics and transportation of baggage, cleaning the battlefield, looting trophies, quickly establishing camps, guarding prisoners and guards; Another lieutenant, as his adjutant, was in charge of clerical work and heralds.
In order not to offend people, the cantonment commander and the military candidate did not participate in the selection, and their positions did not change.
The war horses were also replaced, and the eliminated could only passively accept them.
Such an adaptation made Zhang Yang find a familiar feeling, in this way, there are fewer personnel, but the combat effectiveness is stronger.
Such a big change caused the officers and soldiers of other departments to stand around the school grounds, and they were very curious about this kind of reorganization, and felt that it was too strict.
Some people sighed, no wonder the strength of the champion Hou's troops is so strong, it turns out that their selection criteria are so strict, maybe their troop selection criteria will be even stricter.
Then, Li Su asked several guards to explain to them several of the simplest formations and their cooperation with each other.
Although the time is short, the most basic cooperation must be skillful.
Wei Xu and others were also attracted to the school to watch.
After the reorganization was completed, Cheng Lian and the others felt that in this case, the combat effectiveness was still not as strong as Li Su's guards.
Wei Xu asked forward: "Brother Fuyun, is this how the champion Hou was chosen?" ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Haha, this is the selection criteria for my lord when he started, Uncle Zhi is very familiar with it, he once served as a commander in the cavalry unit; Now it's even stricter. ”
The crowd was relieved.
Zhang Yang asked, "Brother Fuyun, why do you want to raise the standard?" This kind of standard is already a very rare strong army. ”
"Haha, when Uncle Zhi was in Taoyuan Fort, my father-in-law had just started, and his reputation was not great, and he was limited to a few surrounding counties, so the selection criteria were relaxed; Later, His Majesty had a decree to recruit troops in Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou, and the choice was greater, and for the same treatment, of course, the stronger ones should be selected to enlist in the army. ”
Cheng Lian asked, "Brother Fuyun, what kind of treatment do your cavalrymen have?" ”
Li Su looked at Cheng Lian and asked suspiciously, "Don't you know this?" I remember what Uncle Zhi said last time he came back! The salary has not changed, it is still the same, but the military uniforms and food are much better than before. Li Su said this deliberately, he was like Cheng Lian and them before, and he doubted Zhang Yang's words, the cavalry could not be treated so well.
The cavalry did not count the copper coins, salt and other materials issued, but only food, 6 stone per month, 84 stone per year, which was enough to meet the food problem of a family; If you add other rewards, etc., your family will live a very comfortable life.
Zhang Yang's face was slightly red, and he stood awkwardly to the side.
The people around him were now convinced of Zhang Yang's words before, and they were all very envious, even those officers sighed secretly in their hearts. Most of the people in Lu Bu's cavalry team are bachelors, many of them are slaves rescued from the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, and they are also single, as long as they are full, the salary is pitiful, only when they go out to loot a lot of materials, Lu Bu symbolically takes out a part of it and sends it to everyone, as pocket money, the treatment gap is too big.
Wei Xu looked at everyone's expressions and knew everyone's thoughts, he had to protect the interests of his brother-in-law Lu Bu, so he said angrily: "Don't be envious, do you have the ability of someone else?" Other people's ordinary soldiers can replace you tun commanders when they come, and Uncle Zhi is so strong in martial arts, and he is only serving as a tun commander, what are you not satisfied with. ”
Taking Zhang Yang as an example, Zhang Yang was very angry in his heart, he was the tun chief at the time, if he had been working until now, he would at least be a Sima of another department, and he would even serve as a captain, but Wei Xu was Lu Bu's brother-in-law, and he was used to being domineering, and Zhang Yang was lazy to care.
Originally, there were officers who wanted to ask how the seizures in the Champion Hou's army were distributed, but when everyone heard Wei Xu's reprimand, they all dispelled the idea of continuing to consult.
Li Su originally wanted Wei Xu to increase the standard and quantity of food supply for the troops, but after seeing his expression, he also dispelled this idea, there was no need to break other people's rules, make people disgusted, and make himself angry.
The intensity of the training that day was not very large, Li Su was afraid that the intensity of the training would go up and the diet would not keep up, which would harm these officers and soldiers, so he only asked them to maintain a simple formation and simple cooperation with each other, and the effect would be much lower, but the young and strong people of the Xiongnu Yiluo had been transferred, and Li Su was not worried that he would not be able to deal with the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Xiongnu Yiluo.
In the afternoon, Lu Bu received a detailed report from Wei Xu, but did not pay attention to it, he knew his economic level, if it was too strict, he would not be able to recruit many soldiers at all, and if the number of soldiers was too small, it would not show his advantage.
The next day, the 12 Tun cavalry was escorted to continue training.
Li Su specially trained the scouts, hoping to temporarily teach them some of the most basic abilities and be able to take on the heavy responsibility of scouts.
The Qitun people, who were in charge of the baggage qu, were responsible for the preparation of materials before departure, and were commanded by the first army, and directly went to Wei Xu or Zhang Yang to solve the unclear problems, and Li Su was unwilling to interfere in their internal affairs.
Wei Xu and Cheng Lian were also very busy, making final preparations for the next day's departure.
