Chapter 68: The People's Army
Yuan Xi led the ninety-three people selected from the Xiandeng camp, plus Zhao Yun and his ten personal soldiers, as well as three servants including Lu Fang, and set out on the road. With the death of Koji Yoshi, the Xianden camp has basically come to an end. A group of wolves without the control of the wolf king have long lost their fangs. As for the veterans of a hundred battles in Liangzhou, it is difficult to say how much strength they have left after this incident. Fortunately, I brought this batch of seeds out by myself.
On the first day, they walked thirty miles, the second day, thirteen miles, and on the third day, three miles. The whole team walked slower and slower, stopping and stopping, and then settled in a nearby village.
This village is called Zhaojiazhuang, there is a huge mulberry forest in the south of the village, its owner is an old man surnamed Zhao, the old man Zhao is nearly seventy years old, no children, and the mulberry forest is also handed down from ancestors. He couldn't keep himself busy, so he opened up the mulberry forest, and the villagers would come to take care of the mulberry trees and breed silkworms, which also became a source of income for the village.
There were many empty houses in the old man's mulberry garden, and Yuan Xi and his team stayed there. In the past few days, winter is approaching, and some snow flakes are falling from the sky, and after a cold wind blows, the sky is gray.
Ko Yi's coffin was parked in an empty room, and Yuan Xi sat in it, looking at the mulberry forest in the distance through the door. Zhao Yun stood next to him and asked, "What is Brother Yuan thinking?" ”
Yuan Xi said: "I'm thinking about General Liyi. If you stand in the perspective of the first camp, you will definitely not be able to figure out why they won the battle, and their general still has to die. And standing on Yuan Shao's side, he also felt that this Koji Yi was arrogant and could not command, and it would inevitably be chaotic after a long time. People's hearts are separated from each other, and both sides can't trust each other, plus some slander, it leads to a tragedy. If you don't care who is right and who is wrong, this mechanism will not be right. Koji Yi is a war-fighter, so he should concentrate on fighting a war, and he shouldn't think about some upper-level politics. Yuan Shao controlled the army through their generals one by one, and after the generals led the troops for a long time, this army was branded with his personal brand and became his personal soldiers, which aroused Yuan Shao's suspicions. ”
Zhao Yun said: "This ...... I hadn't really thought about it. Still, isn't it normal for a general to lead an army? Could it be that generals often change and go to bring different troops? ”
Yuan Xi said: "Some people have really tried this method, but the final effect is that the soldiers do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals." Having said that, if the decision is left entirely in the hands of the general, the battle is just up to the general to play on his own, and there are too many variables. The uneven combat effectiveness in the Yuan army is also for this reason. ”
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "What can be done about this?" ”
After a while, Lu Fang and the other three came over, Xu Dayan and Li Ping also came over, and everyone wanted to ask Yuan Xi, why did he walk so slowly, and when would he get to the boundary bridge if he went on like this.
Yuan Xi asked them to call all the soldiers over, and almost a hundred people gathered together, and stood around the coffin of Liyi all over the room.
"I called everyone over to discuss how to go in the future."
Hearing Yuan Xi speak, everyone's hearts were suddenly suspended. Since these people dare to challenge their superiors and fight for a future, they are naturally not people who are willing to be lonely. I wanted to follow Yuan Xi before, but I felt that the first camp was no longer valued, and even if I followed Yuan Shao in the future, I wouldn't be able to make a name for myself. It's better to find another way and follow the second son, although the second son is not very reliable, but at least he has fought side by side with himself. As for the future glory and wealth, some people may be thinking, but most people may not have thought that far away. Most of them enlist in the army just to mix a mouthful of military rations, and they don't have much ideals.
"Since you are willing to follow me, I will naturally be responsible to you. But no one can say what will happen in the future, and I can guarantee you that if I have a bite to eat, I will never miss you. If one day I have money, I will definitely have a share of everyone. If...... One day, the whole world will be in my hands, and everyone will definitely share it. ”
Everyone took a breath of cold air at the same time. Although the Han family was weak at this time, and the princes were fighting to replace it, no one dared to say it openly, and they still had to defend the Han family, otherwise they would become traitors. No one dares to take this charge. But Yuan Xi still decided to open the skylight and say bright words, where a person can go depends on how big his heart is. But if you only stop at fighting the world and being the emperor, it is too small.
Zhao Yun frowned, although he had also thought about making a marquis and worshipping the prime minister, he had never had the heart to usurp the Han, so Liu Bei was very much to his liking, and he was a little disgusted with Gongsun Zhan's reputation by killing people.
Yuan Xi looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Just say if, don't think about it." Needless to say, so many people get together and want to do a career, there must be a program and a long-term vision. If it's just a small profit in front of you, how can you go far? ”
"Let me first give you an analysis of the current situation. Since the Han family moved eastward, in fact, the imperial court has been controlled by Cao Cao, Cao Cao occupies the center of the world, and his talents are gathered, and he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. The world has formed a pattern of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao confronting each other for the Central Plains. If one of them gets the whole of Hebei and the Central Plains, he will basically get two-thirds of the world's population, and then if he doesn't make a mistake, he will be able to take over the whole world in a few years, and the Han dynasty will change hands. ”
These words are even more than everyone expected, a few soldiers who don't know a single big word are naturally ignorant, but people like Zhao Yunxu and Lu Fang, who have a little knowledge, are still amazed by their analysis and judgment. In this era, except for some top intellectuals, how many people can see the general trend of the world. I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain, and only modern people like Yuan Xi can see it through.
Everyone kept their mouths shut and listened to him.
"I don't say this in generalities, nor does it involve whether I am loyal or treacherous. I am just stating an objective fact, and I hope that you will have a certain number in your hearts. In the future, everyone will follow me, which is equivalent to my Yuan Xi's personal armament. All actions are for the benefit of our collective. Let's take a look at our own internal situation, we only have more than 100 people, although we are soldiers of the elite battalion, but without veterans, we actually have no advantage over other troops. I myself am only the second son of Yuan Shao, and it is absolutely impossible for me to inherit the family business in the future, and maybe I will be swept out of the house by the two brothers, and the princely family is so cruel. Even if this is the case, do you still want to follow me? ”
A bunch of people hung their heads one by one, thinking about it like this, the future is indeed quite slim.
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "If you quit at this time, I won't blame you, and I will ask someone to find a good way out for everyone at that time." Captain Zhang He is a friend of mine, and if you are willing to go to his battalion, I can also recommend it on your behalf. ”
"But if everyone is willing to stay...... I'm going to come up with a program. In the future, all my Yuan Xi's soldiers must act in accordance with this program, whoever violates the rules will have to withdraw, and not a single opportunity will be given, no matter who it is, even if it is a meritorious person, it is no exception. ”
"It should have been to spend more time with you guys and actually understand some common problems, so that the rules can be formulated. But now that I don't have enough time, I'll learn from Chairman Mao's old man's practice, use it first, and then improve it according to the actual situation...... It is said that the Autumn Harvest Uprising failed that year, and the troops of 5,000 people along the way shrank to 1,000 people, and when they arrived at the place of Sanwan, they held a small meeting, and as a result, a million people swept the Central Plains later......"
"The first thing is the organizational structure. There were more than 90 of us in all, just a company of people. The following is divided into three platoons, each platoon of about 30 people. From now on, it will be called one row, two rows, and three rows. In the future, our army will be called ...... Well, it's called ...... Jizhou People's Army, we are the first company of the first battalion of the people's army. ”
The sky outside was overcast, and rolling thunder sounded in the sky, and the People's Army, an army founded by modern people, was established in the thunder of this day.
