The northern part of the Hedong Army was centered on Pingyang, and there were still many large cities. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Pingyang was originally occupied by the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, and later Yu Fu Luo returned to the south to Yu Ting, and Pingyang was vacant.

Tian Jing originally thought about moving his army north as soon as possible to recover the northern counties of the Hedong Army, but because Li and Guo soldiers entered Hedong and had just made peace with the Xiongnu, he was unwilling to stimulate the nerves of the Xiongnu. So Tian Jing has never had the opportunity to go north.

But now is the best time to go north to recover the counties in Hedong. Tian Jing thought of this, so he asked his soldiers to invite Xu Huang, Zhao Yan, and Yang Xiu to discuss the matter.

At this time, Emperor Xian sent Xiaohuangmen to Anyi to preach the decree and seal Tian Jing as the general of the expedition to the north.

Tian Jing received the order to thank him, but he wondered in his heart that he had made outstanding contributions in the previous battle of Hedong, and he had not been rewarded. Now it is a little strange that he is being rewarded for nothing. Tian Jing left the little yellow door to entertain him, and after asking, he learned that Tian Jing was not the only one who was rewarded.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, Yang Feng, the general of the cavalry, took the initiative to resign from the post of general of the cavalry. Cao Cao recommended Yang Feng as the general of the Eastern Expedition, opened the mansion, stationed troops in Runan, and went east to Yuan Shu. Emperor Xian used Cao Cao to record Shangshu and crowned the general of the chariot and cavalry.

When Tian Jing heard this, he knew that there had been such a big change in the court. It seems that Yang Feng did not want to be trapped in the capital, but reached an agreement with Cao Cao to exchange the position of general of the chariot cavalry for control of Runan. However, how could Cao Cao be so kind, naturally hoping that Yang Feng could be used as a barrier to the south to resist Yuan Shu, or simply hoping that the two would lose both.

And adding the title of general to the north and opening the mansion should be an intentional balance move to offer the emperor; Or Cao Cao's recommendation, just to reduce the resistance of the imperial court when Cao Cao's subordinates were rewarded in the future. But no matter what, it is very important for this general to open the mansion of the northern expedition, at least the problem of the establishment of soldiers and horses in Hedong, which was his original headache, is now solved.

After sending Xiaohuangmen away, Tian Jing decided to discuss the next step of military establishment and military deployment in Hedong with the three of them.

Tian Jing said to the three of them: "I also had a general idea about the establishment of soldiers and horses in Hedong before, and I just took it out for discussion today. Judging from the experience of leading troops for such a long time, I think the establishment of the Han army is too chaotic. General Zhonglang was supposed to be the supreme commander of the army, but now his power is gradually declining; The miscellaneous generals are more and more sealed, the official positions are chaotic and the number of leaders is not fixed; Colonels were originally the main generals who led the troops in wartime, but now they are often low-level generals, leading only a few hundred. The Qu, Tun, Shi, and Wu, which were the main training units in the Qin period, are now often the general's subordinates. Because of this, Tian wanted to make a unified change in the military establishment in Hedong and form a law in the future. ”

Xu Huang is concerned about operational command, "Today's troop and horse establishment is highly arbitrary, so battlefield command often has to be temporarily adjusted. And now, whether it is fighting with the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, or facing the Xiongnu in the north, and marching east to exterminate the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro, larger combat units are needed. It turns out that a few hundred soldiers and horses in one school is indeed too little. ”

Zhao Yan's concern was, "How to unify the soldiers and horses of the Zhengbei General's Mansion with the local soldiers and horses in Hedong, and how to unify the establishment of regular soldiers and cantonment troops, so that in the future, whether it is combat production or replenishment of troops, there will be a lot of trouble." ”

Yang Xiu pointed out the differences between the Qin system and the Han system, as well as the characteristics of the new military establishment that now has the imperial power and the princes acting separately. I hope to learn more from this experience and learn more lessons.

In this way, the four of them discussed for a day in the middle hall of Tian Jing's general's mansion, and the meals were all brought in by the guards, and they discussed it after eating.

The next day was the same, and it was not until late at night that a solution was discussed.

Specifically, it is based on the military establishment of the original Qin and Han dynasties, but the number of generals at all levels has been adjusted and specified. And according to different types of troops, the number of leaders is adjusted. The county garrison and the tun army were all adjusted with reference to the establishment of the Zhengbei General's Mansion.

The army of the General Mansion of Zhengbei is as follows:

The smallest military unit of the infantry is a corps, with five men per corps, one of whom is the captain;

Two troops are one, one is set up, and ten soldiers are led;

Five tithes for a tun, set up a tun chief, leading 50 soldiers;

Wutun is a song, with a military marquis and 250 soldiers;

Wuqu is a school (department), with a captain, leading 1,250 soldiers, and 100 personal soldiers at the same time;

The five schools (departments) are a battalion, with a lieutenant general, leading 6,250 soldiers and 600 personal soldiers;

The five battalions were an army, commanded by General Zhengbei, with 31,250 troops and 3,000 personal soldiers.

At the same time, a cavalry army was established, and the minimum military unit of the cavalry army was established, and the number of troops led by each military unit was halved. For example, the commander of the cavalry led five soldiers; The tun commander led twenty-five soldiers; One hundred and twenty-five soldiers were led by the marquis; 625 captains; The Zhonglang army led 3,125 soldiers. The first army of the cavalry was three battalions, and the first army was 12,500 men and horses.

At the same time, an espionage battalion was set up to be in charge of spying on the enemy's situation, monitoring and tracking, and dividing and countering the enemy. The minimum establishment of the spy battalion is the rank of chief, one person; five people per tun; Twenty-five people per song; 125 students per school; The first battalion was 625 men, commanded by General Zhonglang. This is also what Tian Jing thought of because of the outstanding performance of Shi Da's department in the Chang'an Rebellion.

As for the county garrison, the (capital) county lieutenant has the same position as the school captain, and the number of leading troops is also the same, and the border county can add a cavalry captain; If it is a large county, you can set up two lieutenants and two lieutenants, and lead two soldiers and horses to guard the county.

The cantonment is organized as a synchronous army, which produces and trains in peacetime, and is converted into a combat unit in wartime, or as an auxiliary soldier or a baggage soldier, and the cantonment is the main source of replenishment for the regular soldiers.

The discussion has been decided, and Xu Huang, Zhao Yan, and Yang Xiu all feel that this preparation is very reasonable. Now it is a question of how to reorganize the army and who to appoint as its commander-in-chief.

If the entire establishment is calculated, a county in Hedong will have to recruit 50,000 or 60,000 horses, which is of course unrealistic now.

Tian Jing meant that Xu Huang, the general of Anhan, was the lieutenant general of the first battalion, and more than 6,000 infantry were temporarily reorganized; then with Zhao Yan as the former military division, and the general of Diannong Zhonglang, the tun soldiers were reorganized into the second battalion; The remaining three battalions will be discussed later. As for the cavalry, considering the situation of horses, only two schools of cavalry can be formed for the time being, and the spy battalion is only one school for the time being.

The first battalion of infantry, Tian Jing named the "Wei" battalion, commanded by Xu Huang. The five lieutenants are Qi Tai, the former military captain, Wu Guoxing, the left military captain, Liu Meng, the right military captain, Mao An, the rear military captain, and Wang Ping, the middle military captain.

This Prince Wang Ping was recommended by Xu Huang, and he was promoted from among his commanders in the Battle of Hedong. Tian Jing asked Wang Ping's life experience, and it was estimated that it should be Wang Ping, the general in the late Shu Han Dynasty. In history, Wang Ping first voted for Cao Cao, and later became Xu Huang's deputy general, Shu Wei fought for Hanzhong, and Wang Ping surrendered to Liu Bei. I didn't want to be discovered by Xu Huang today, and I took refuge in myself. This person can be of great use, and in the future he can be trained as a lieutenant general of the third battalion. Tian Jing secretly summed up in his heart.

In terms of cavalry, Tian Jing named the White Horse Army, with Li Kang as the left cavalry captain and Leping as the right cavalry captain. It turned out that the White Horse Yicong was Tian Jing's personal soldier and was led by Xiaoliu Lu Qilin. Tian Jing named Lu Qilin as the Sima of the Chinese Army.

The spy battalion, Tian Jing named the Flying Eagle Army, with Shi Da as the former captain.

At the same time, the personnel of the General's Mansion were also appointed, and Yang Xiu was appointed as the chief secretary of the General's Mansion and the rear military division. Qi Dafu Qi Min was appointed as the medical department of the Zhengbei General's Mansion to train military medical officers to ensure that at least one medical officer was attached to the army in each tun. Luo Feng, the blacksmith of Luo, was appointed as the Ministry of Engineering of the General of the Northern Expedition, responsible for the manufacture of weapons and armor of the Northern Army, etc.

In addition, there is still a shortage of commanders and military officers in the General's Mansion, and only when there are suitable people in the future will they be supplemented.

Everything was decided, and Tian Jing ordered Xu Huang to start reorganizing the army. Fortunately, the soldiers in Hedong are now ready-made, and Tian Jing gave the "Wei" battalion one month for training, mainly to familiarize the generals with the grass-roots officers, and at the same time unify the golden drum banner and clarify the formation of attack, defense, and defense. Next month, Xu Huang will go north to recover Linfen, Jiangyi, Pingyang and other counties.

Tian Jing and Zhao Yan were responsible for the training of the second battalion.

Li Kang and Leping's cavalry training, Tian Jing was not worried. For Star's first colonel of the spy battalion, Tian Jing is very concerned. As long as Shi Da's eyes on the talents, all of them will be given priority to enter the spy camp, and if the other schools obstruct them, they will all be persuaded by Tian Jing himself.

As soon as Star's first colonel was established, Tian Jing personally participated in the army formation ceremony, and instilled in them the idea of being loyal only to the general mansion of the expedition to the north, and at the same time promised them a higher salary and reward than the generals of the same rank. The families of these people were all gathered and settled in Anyi City, and all the daily necessities were provided by the treasury of the Zhengbei General's Mansion.

The sergeants of the spy battalion are all shrewd and skillful. Star trained them in weapons, reconnaissance, and camouflage, and immediately sent them out.

Not only the intelligence spies on the battlefield in the northeast of Hedong, but also the right Feng Yi, who has no time to take care of now, as well as the Shi Da of Yin, Hongnong, Hanoi and other counties in Henan, have sent personnel from the spy battalion.

For Tian Jing, although he was in Anyi, now he seemed to have countless pairs of eyes to help him keep an eye on the situation around him. This will be of great help in future decision-making.

After dealing with the affairs of the army, Tian Jing finally found time to accompany Lu Wen and Qi Ying. The two are really sisters now, and they are inseparable.

When they first got married, they could see Tian Jing every day, and they didn't feel lonely. Since Tian Jing began to be busy with Hedong military affairs, the two of them felt bored, and today the two discussed to do things in the army, and it happened that Tian Jing came back, and they surrounded them.

Lu Wen shouted that she wanted to set up a school for female soldiers and lead the army herself; Qi Ying resignedly proposed, like training some female doctors, on the one hand, to share the worries of her father, and on the other hand, to help Tian Jing.

Tian Jing came from later generations and naturally recognized this practice of equality between men and women, but he was afraid that he would encounter a lot of resistance at the end of the Han Dynasty. And if only female soldiers and female doctors work alone, once it comes to the placement in the army, men and women are mixed, coupled with the Confucian concept of men and women not kissing, I am afraid that there will be many difficulties in the future.

However, it is naturally good to have ideas, Tian Jing encouraged the two of them, and promised to support them in terms of money and food, as for how to deal with it, they have to figure it out by themselves. However, Tian Jing told Lu Wen that the female soldiers should be recruited according to one song for the time being, and it would not be too late to expand into a school when the effect was seen. As for Qi Ying's gentle temperament and careful handling, there is no need to worry.
