Chapter 68: Dong Zhuo's subordinates
"There are too many people!" Xun You spoke, "In addition to Huo Quai, who else has cultivated a fighting spirit of three thousand troops?" That's why I've been stating that the number of Yulin riders has always been 1,700, which is the number that is most likely to inspire Yulin riders. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to quell the rebellion, the first emperor expanded the Yulin to more than 5,000 people. Later, after Cao Mengde commanded the Yulin Cavalry several times, the personnel was reduced to the current 3,000 people. But despite this, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the Yulin Army, it is necessary to reduce the number of personnel to the previous 1,700 people! ”
As soon as Lu Bu heard that he was going to reduce the number of troops, the boss was immediately unhappy, and finally had three thousand soldiers and horses, and Xun You actually opened his mouth to cut one thousand three!
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao also had some complicated feelings, Gao Shun was the right supervisor of Yulin, and his subordinates were in charge of 900 cavalry and 700 infantry, while Zhang Liao was the left supervisor of Yulin, in charge of 800 cavalry and more than 600 infantry. With this cut, the number of troops that can be directly controlled by him will also be reduced a lot.
Especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years, no one has been able to completely activate the fighting spirit of the Yulin Army, at most it was short-lived and then quickly restored to its original state. Now that they are cutting their own troops for such a negligible possibility, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are all a little hesitant.
Chu Yi squinted and thought about it for a while, constantly weighing it in his heart, after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of Huo Quzhi's personal cultivation of the fighting spirit, and gritted his teeth: "Cut!" Feng Xian, you and I will go and ask Dong Gong to cut down all the infantry of the Yulin Cavalry! Revert it to its original configuration! ”
The Yulin Army, also known as the Yulin Cavalry, as the name suggests, the whole army is cavalry. However, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling of Han urgently expanded the Yulin Cavalry to quell the rebellion. Since the training of cavalry required a lot of time, the expansion at that time was only infantry. After the rebellion was quelled, the infantry and cavalry were reduced, and the imperial court selected some people from the infantry to make up the cavalry quota, but despite this, there was still a lot of infantry left.
Chu Yi knew that as long as all the 1,300 infantry were abandoned, these cut infantry would be eaten by Dong Zhuo, but in order to gain Dong Zhuo's favor as much as possible and not arouse the suspicion of the other party, he had to do so. Otherwise, with his thoughts, he would definitely leave 700 infantry for Gao Shun, and let her try to see if she could train the trapped camp in advance!
However, in Chu Yi's heart, the importance of trapping the camp is far less than that of the elite under Huo Quzhi. Even if there is only a slight chance, Chu Yi has to give it a try! What's more, as long as Gao Shun is still there, he can practice at any time in the trapping camp, so there is no need to rush for a while!
These infantrymen should be regarded as coffins for Dong Zhuo! Chu Yi gritted his teeth and thought in his heart.
As for whether Dong Zhuo would want these 1,300 infantry, Chu Yi could guarantee that the other party would want it. As Guo Yan said, the soldiers of the Yulin Army are all carefully selected, and their personal combat strength is among the best in all armies, and Dong Zhuo is absolutely greedy! As for bad discipline...... I'm sorry, Dong Zhuo's subordinates are many generals who are good at training.
Lu Bu heard Chu Yi say so resolutely, he was silent for a moment, and his expression was extremely reluctant: "What is the reason? ”
Chu Yi replied lightly: "Because the infantry can't beat the Hu people in the north!" They are all a people on horseback, coming on horseback, going on horseback. The infantry is only a moving target for them, and the only way to fight them is to rely on elite cavalry! And if you want to talk about cavalry, who can compare to the invincible elite cultivated by Huo Yanyao back then? So even if there's even the slightest chance, we're going to give it a try. ”
Lu Bu's ultimate goal was only to return to Bingzhou and surrender to Zhuhu, and Chu Yi's words were undoubtedly in line with her wishes.
After listening to Chu Yi's words, Lu Bu finally made up his mind: "Okay! I'll go with you! ”
Chu Yi smiled: "Of course, this matter has to be raised by you, the cavalry captain. ”
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu had already decided, so naturally they didn't want to say anything, not to mention, they also had some longing for the fighting spirit cultivated by Huo Quzhi!
Regarding the rectification of military discipline, Guo Yan also bluntly said that he could not help, and at most he gave some opinions. Because this is Lu Bu's team, it can only be branded by Lu Bu himself, and it is not good if others interfere.
Chu Yi made a decision, and even if he wanted to go to Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu, Guo Yan volunteered to go with them. And she broke through to the prefecture-level realm, and she also wanted to go to the Dong Mansion to talk about it, it would be even better if she could meet Li Dao, although Li Dao's character is not good, but the leader has always been better than her, and she can just step on him in the realm cultivation!
On the way to Dong's mansion, Chu Yi said to Guo Yan: "General Guo, under Dong Gong, there are Zhonglang generals such as Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Xu Rong, etc., as well as school captains like General Guo, Li Dao, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Meng, and Wang Fang. If you want to talk about commanding the army, apart from Li Zhiran, I don't know who else can be around General Guo? ”
Guo Yan himself has no scheming, and in her opinion, Chu Yi and her are in the same group, and these questions are not secrets, so she thought about it: "Zhonglang General Zhongzhong is Xu Rong's ability to command troops is good, Duan Zhongming is slightly inferior, but I have been in contact with Duan Zhongming a few times, he is generous and benevolent, although my status is lower than his, he can also treat me very politely." ”
"Among the captains like me, Li Dao's commander is slightly better than me. Fan Chou's ability to lead troops is average, and his personal strength is also in the middle of the Xuan level. Zhang Ji's strength has the peak of the Xuan level, but he is quite old, if he does not have a big opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the ground level in this life. It's just that he has a nephew named Zhang Xiu, who is extremely talented. He is only twenty years old this year, but he is already in the early stage of the prefecture level. As for Wang Fang and Li Meng, they are miscellaneous fish......"
Guo Yan waved his hand, quite disdainful of Wang and Li. Although she is temporarily in the rank of lieutenant because she is relatively young, she is arrogant and can see nothing more than three kinds of people.
One is that her cultivation is higher than her, such as Lu Bu, who is walking with her, she still can't detect the other party's true qi cultivation after breaking through the ground level, which makes her both respect and fear Lu Bu.
The second is those whose ability to lead troops is above her or similar to her, such as Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong and Li Dao.
The third is smart people like Li Ru and Chu Yi, Li Ru is now Dong Zhuo's number one henchman, Dong Zhuo also plots with him in everything, Guo Yan naturally respects him very much. As for Chu Yi, although he rarely gave Dong Zhuo advice, Chu Yi's strategy to abolish the emperor to Dong Zhuo at the beginning really shocked Guo Yan. In addition, Chu Yi, a disciple of Confucianism and a rare intellectual, also has great respect for Guo Yan, a big old man, every day General Guo is long and General Guo is short, which also makes her extremely useful, and her vanity is also a little satisfied.
Chu Yi silently wrote down what Guo Yan said in his heart, and then asked, "What about General Niu Fu's ability?" ”
Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and the direct boss of Li Dao and Guo Yan.
Hearing Niu Fu's words, Guo Yan's face became a little delicate, and he stumbled: "Lord Niu, your strength is in the late stage of the Xuan level...... Well, he is the son-in-law of Dong Gong...... Ability to command troops...... It should be ok......
Okay, nepotism, seeing Guo Yan's expression, Chu Yi immediately gave Niu Fu such a position in his heart.
"What about Dong Gong?"
Although Chu Yi is now attached to Dong Zhuo, he knows in his heart that he will definitely be Dong Zhuo's mortal enemy in the future, so Chu Yi must know himself and his opponent now.
Speaking of Dong Zhuo, Guo Yan's eyes were full of respect: "Dong Gong's ability is rare in the world, not only is his strength in the middle of the prefecture level, but even his ability to command troops is above Xu Rong, Li Dao and me!" It can be said that he is the first-rate person in the world! Apart from...... Uh, forget it, when I didn't say. ”
Guo Yan was silent in the middle of speaking.
Chu Yi smiled and finished her words:
