Chapter 734: Young Strategist
"Meet Cao Gong, King of Wei!"
Outside Kaifeng City, which was full of routs and pursuing red knights, Zhao Yun, who had been shining before, jumped off his horse and saluted with his fists at the oncoming Cao Cao.
Zilong was polite. Fortunately, Zilong came in time. Haha......" Cao Cao laughed, walked quickly in front of Zhao Yun, and hugged Zhao Yun's fist with both hands.
Survived! Whoever has just escaped from danger will definitely be in a good mood!
"Fortunately, Zilong rescued him, otherwise Lone Ke would be really dangerous. Ha ha...... Thank you, thank you......" Before, was Cao Cao afraid? Afraid, scared to death. Just as the boulder smashed into Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao felt like his heart was about to stop beating. Fortunately, there were soldiers who desperately rescued each other. Moreover, when Cao Cao stood up from the crack in the shield at that time, his legs were trembling under the hem of his clothes!
I finally got mixed up with the corner of King Wei and was stoned to death, can Cao Cao not lose. But in the previous form, if Cao Cao hadn't walked to the city, I am afraid that by the time Zhao Yun arrived, Kaifeng City would have changed owners.
"The thank you of Cao Gong, the king of Wei, is ashamed. If it weren't for Cao Gong's desperate resistance, he would naturally not be able to wait for the support below, and if it weren't for the desperate efforts of our soldiers and soldiers, they would have come so timely in the future. ”
Zhao Yun's words are beautiful, they are all the credit of you and my soldiers, we just played an auxiliary role!
"Zilong is modest!" Cao Cao smiled and pointed his finger at Zhao Yun, "Okay, let the soldiers clean up the battlefield and talk to Gu into the city." ”
"Obey your orders, Gong Cao, please!"
Nine years ago, Zhao Yun came here, but he retreated in a hurry, and nine years later, Zhao Yun came here again, but the corpses and blood, ruins and wreckage here are not less, but more and more broken!
After a few people arrived at the county magistrate's mansion in the city and sat down, Cao Cao asked Zhao Yun: "Anbang sent out the army this time, I don't know how many people there are?" ”
Since Zhao Yun led the team this time, Cao Cao naturally thought that Zhao Yun was a guest army at his disposal. Knowing the real situation of one's own military is also the first thing every decision-maker should do.
"The Blue Dragon Army, 30,000 cavalry. At present, only 10,000 cavalry have arrived in Kaifeng City, and the remaining 20,000 are still on the way! ”
"Well, 30,000 is enough. Besides, it's still the elite of the Blue Dragon Army! Cao Cao nodded and said. Although Cao De's reinforcements this time were less than the last time, in general, Liu Bei and his own army were not much. If Cao De directly pressed all the 340,000 troops to Kaifeng, then Liu Bei would not be scared to death.
However, what Cao Cao didn't notice was that nine years ago, when Zhao Yun came, this army was still called the Green Dragon Cavalry, but when Zhao Yun said it today, it had already become the Green Dragon Army!
And this is also the adjustment that Cao De made in this.
All the army numbers were changed from battalions to armies, and the battalion number was downgraded by one level. For example, the Blue Dragon Army. In the past, the Qinglong Army was composed of the Qinglong Left Cavalry, the Qinglong Right Cavalry, and the Qinglong Middle Cavalry. And now, it has been renamed Qinglong Left Camp, Qinglong Right Camp and Qinglong Middle Camp. And below the battalion, it was divided into left and right horses. In fact, it is just a name, and the number of people has not changed.
The cavalry corps is still 30,000 men per corps, and the infantry corps is 50,000 men. And each battalion was ten thousand men, and each cavalry was five thousand. Under each horse, there are five thousand troops, and each thousand team has ten centurions, and so on.
It's just that the biggest change is that there is now an extra general in each army. The partial general is still the supreme commander of each army, while the partial general governs the battalion, the lieutenant governs the cavalry, and the rest remain unchanged.
In this way, Cao De can promote more officers, and the possibility of promotion of soldiers in the army is also greater. It's just that the lieutenant, a middle- and low-level officer who can play an important role in bridging, seems to be a little less valuable.
From the original Eighth Captain of the West Garden, to the current Captain of the Feathers. The officers of the Great Han have long been worthless. And this value has to be reflected in which boss is under it.
It is said that Cao De's lieutenant is the most common, but in terms of the whole Han, the welfare package is also the best.
Now, one of the most important features of Cao De's army restructuring is that Cao De allows generals above miscellaneous generals who do not include miscellaneous generals to form a pro-military battalion on their own. The main frame was completed by the guards who had been given to them by Cao De, and the rest of the brick soldiers were randomly selected from the army. It's just that the size of the pro-military camp is also different according to different positions.
It's like Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's pro-military camp can reach six hundred people. However, Wen Chou and Yan Liang's pro-military camp only has a hundred people.
And such a system, in Cao De's plan, is to train more future generals. You say, six hundred people follow Zhao Yun, can't any of them be singled out and serve as partial generals in the first army? If you can't keep it, if a little Zhao Yun comes out again, then Cao De won't be sent yet.
The camera continues to return to Cao Cao and Zhao Yun.
"Dare to ask Zilong, can you tell me the details of Anbang's dispatch this time?" This question involves the military plan of Cao De's side. Zhao Yun has the right to refuse Cao Cao, and he also has the right to tell Cao Cao. It depends on what Zhao Yun means. After all, Cao De's main purpose in this expedition was to help Cao Cao tide over the difficulties.
"Why not!" Zhao Yun made a decision immediately, "The prime minister has raised 50,000 troops and sent a letter to Guguan. Among them, he led the Qinglong Army to aid Kaifeng, while General Cao Ren led the Tianxiang Army and went straight to Yuzhou to assist General Xu Huang. ”
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Cao Cao was relieved. Yuzhou is also a big stone in Cao Cao's heart, and now that Cao Ren is leading 20,000 troops, there is nothing to worry about.
It's just that Cao Cao is still facing this problem.
"What? Cao Gong has something unspeakable? Zhao Yun saw that Cao Cao's face was a little wrong, and he felt that he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Lone is really something. Dare to ask Zilong, how much grain and grass did Zilong bring when the army went out this time? ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, there was actually not enough food! Sure enough, as the prime minister expected. Therefore, Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said, "Cao Gong Moyou." Under the army of 30,000 soldiers out of the letter valley, according to the prime minister's military order, under the leadership of 10,000 horsemen, the starry night and gallop to aid Kaifeng, followed by 20,000 troops, it is behind the supervision of grain, grass, equipment. For grain and grass, although there is no accurate number below, there must be 30,000 or 40,000 stones! ”
"Thirty or forty thousand stones! Enough is enough! Cao Cao slapped his thigh. Zilong didn't know anything, the military food in Kaifeng City was enough for our department, but now that the Anbang army is coming, it is a little tight. Fortunately, Zilong brought enough grain and grass. In this case, then there is no need to worry about the future. ”
"That's it!" Cao Cao stood up, "Zilong came here in the starry night, and experienced another big battle, presumably Zilong is also tired." It is better for Zilong to rest and rest today, and tomorrow he will be alone with Zilong to discuss the matter of going east to recover the lost land. ”
With food and reinforcements, Cao Cao is really not afraid of anything. Since we're not afraid, let's attack.
"Obey the orders of King Wei and retire!"
On the other hand, when Lu Yi led the remnants of the defeated army back to the camp, he went to the big tent of the Chinese army to ask the newly appointed military advisor for his guilt.
"Military advisor, originally our army was about to capture Cao Cao alive. But who would have thought that Cao De's army had actually killed. The last general was caught off guard and had to withdraw his troops. ”
"Who is the leader, but Cao De?" The young non-talkative military advisor asked.
"There should be no Cao De, and the last general will not see Cao De's banner. The leader of the troops was wearing bright silver armor, and judging from the banner, there was no doubt that it was Zhao Yun. Lu Yi thought about it carefully, and the big flags he had deliberately observed did not have Cao De's prime minister's flag. It's just that Zhao Yun's shiny armor is indeed very eye-catching.
"Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong? It is truly unparalleled in the world. You are not defeated, at least let the army know that there is another Zhao Zilong on the other side. Alright, let's go and rest. Tomorrow, our army will cross the Wave Canal and return to the east bank! ”
"Strategist, this ......"
"Go, carry out the military order!"
