Chapter 18 Post-War Arrangements

"Most of you are new recruits, even veterans, and many of you haven't even actually been on the battlefield. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" That night, Li Yu called everyone for a small meeting.

"But this month, you've done a great job! It's amazing how many of you were refugees fleeing south a month ago, but now you're a qualified soldier! And veterans, what you have learned before has not been in vain, and your growth is also very obvious! Li Yu praised from the bottom of his heart.

Unlike recruits, most veterans have three years of military experience. In the past three years, in order to train them, Li Yu has invested a lot of resources, and even this part of the consumption accounts for fifty percent of the autonomous region's financial consumption. Yuan Lian and they didn't know why Li Yu spent so many resources to train a small soldier.

Look at it now, isn't the purpose already clear? With about 50% of them and about 5,000 people, in just one month, a team of 15,000 people has been raised. In fact, according to Li Yu's meaning, considering the training level and combat effectiveness of the soldiers in this era, it can even directly pull up a team of 50,000 people!

Every veteran, at least, is also an officer at the rank of commander. Whether it is combat effectiveness or command ability, it is far better than that of the tun commander of this era, and there is no problem even directly serving as a military marquis. If you cooperate with the General Staff, there is no problem even if more than a dozen people cooperate to pull up an army of 20,000 to sit on one side.

The autonomous region was restricted from leviing only 10,000 troops, so Li Yu trained these 10,000 people as grassroots officers. As a result, they did live up to their expectations.

In this battle, 10,000 against 10,000 people, even if it is a combined encirclement, generally speaking, there will be a situation where 1,000 enemies are killed and 800 are lost. If it can be reduced to 500, then it is basically a commander with some ability.

In fact, less than 300 people were killed in this war, which was more than 200 fewer than in the previous Battle of Chosha. Most of the dead were recruits, and there was a problem in the cooperation, so it affected the comrades. Or they were besieged by four or five people on the other side, and finally couldn't hold on and were killed.

"Don't be complacent about it!" Li Yu's voice changed, "In my opinion, most of you haven't reached the standard at all. Don't think that if you win the Yellow Turban Army a few times, you are worth being complacent! Most of their soldiers were just civilians who had just taken up arms. You have no training, you have no education, and if you are still on a par with them, it will be your failure! ”

The atmosphere began to become serious, and the soldiers were still a little happy, but now they became solemn.

"Your future enemies will only be stronger and more terrifying! Maybe it's the Shengfan in the southern mountains, it may be the Qianghu in the northwest, or even the Xianbei in the north. Your enemies may grow stronger, and you must grow stronger.

Always be aware and always remember that your future enemies will be very strong, even more powerful than you can imagine. You can cheer for victory, but don't think you're invincible! No matter when and where, I must maintain a normal mentality, a mentality that can be thrown into battle at any time, and a mentality that I am absolutely not afraid of any enemy.

When you really stand at the top one day and become a truly invincible strong army, I will personally celebrate you! Also, please work hard and live until that day! Li Yu reprimanded him solemnly, but in the end, he solemnly clasped his fists and saluted.

"Whoa!" The soldiers shouted like thunder, and most of them felt their blood boiling at the moment.

It is true that Li Yu's speech lacked some heat in sensationalism. But in these years, there are not so many wonderful jokes in later generations. In the year of the Republic of China, Sun's relatively straightforward incitement could cause a large number of people to respond, not to mention the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The key is Li Yu's last sentence, for the low-level soldiers, they are actually like consumables. If you are lucky, you will make a name for yourself, and if you are unlucky, you will die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather.

Few generals will care about the life and death of soldiers, and even if they do, they are more for show. It's just that the soldiers present know better, but Li Yu is not putting on a show. In general, for show, you only need to eat with the soldiers and talk and laugh together, but Li Yu will not be like this.

However, he will continue to make the generals reflect and reprimand them again and again: because of your mistakes, which led to the death of the soldiers, that is, you murdered their lives!

He will also devote resources unimaginable to everyone for them: three sets of military uniforms (spring, autumn and winter) every year, three pairs of cotton socks, high-quality armor and weapons, generous food, literacy night school, and even night work for officers.

Regardless of the hard training, who would put so much into a soldier in general? Compared with Li Yu, those so-called famous generals in ancient times were weak. This is also the real reason why Li Yu's words can make them so moved!

"Is there any news from Zhu Jun's side? What about other places? Li Yu got off the stage satisfied, and after entering the tent, he asked Yang Lang directly.

The previous speech was actually a show of some significance, but this was based on the premise of real materials, which is the most clever thing about Li Yu's show. When the gratitude of the soldiers accumulates to a certain extent, they will make a show to arouse all these gratitude, and then promote their own prestige, not to mention, can also significantly improve their morale.

At present, in the barracks, this fifteen-thousand-strong main force has completely become his admirers, and many of them have directly become devout believers, which proves that his show was not in vain. As for the Yellow Turban Military Department, which existed as prisoners, Li Yu didn't expect them to be able to use them for themselves so quickly.

"Zhu Jun had already started a battle with the Wancheng Yellow Turban yesterday, and Zhao Ci's troops were defeated and fled into the Qinling Mountains, and Zhu Jun did not pursue further. If we don't leave, Zhu Jun will probably come over to join us the day after tomorrow, wait? Yang Lang asked.

"There's no need, everyone is going to Luoyang anyway, and we can always meet in Luoyang no matter what. Besides, I don't know if Zhu Jun wants to go to Luoyang with us, or if he will go to support Huangfu Song in the past. Li Yu muttered.

"In this offensive and defensive battle, many of his soldiers were killed, less than 5,000. Maybe they will add it in Nanyang County, depending on the situation, they may not really come to join us, especially if he knows that we have eliminated Zhang Mancheng. Yang Lang thought for a while and said, this is based on Zhu Jun's character, as well as the friendship between Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and the final result.

"Then don't wait, go straight north! Anyway, how about other places! Li Yu continued to ask.

Zhang Jiao died of illness, and the Yellow Turban Dragons in Jizhou had no leader, and only relied on Zhang Liang to support him. Ding Yuan and Lu Zhibu are attacking from the north to the south, the key is the guy named Liu Bei, he does have some ability to lead the army, especially his brother-in-law Zhang Fei's force is also very good, and he has beheaded several generals under Zhang Bao.

Not to mention Ding Yuan's righteous son Lu Bu, who is not inferior to the former Chu overlord, and the cavalry under his command is also very good, and he is worthy of being the strongest general in the border army. According to the current situation, the Jizhou Yellow Turban is gone, but it is only a matter of two or three months. Yang Lang first explained the situation in Jizhou.

"What about Yanzhou and Si Li? I'm afraid the situation of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo is not so easy, right? Li Yu didn't care about the Jizhou Yellow Turban, in the final analysis, Ding Yuan and Lu Zhi both had the shadow of the family behind them, and there was no possibility of failure with their full help.

On the contrary, it is Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, not to mention Huangfu Song, it is said that it is also a family, not to mention whether the family is a double agent who broke into the imperial party. Let's say that this Dong Zhuo is the real emperor, and because of this, in history, he replaced Lu Zhi to attack the Yellow Turban Army, but he lost the battle, and finally ran back in disgrace.

Zuo Feng in history is just an excuse, Liu Hong is afraid that he has long wanted to replace Lu Zhi. Not to mention anything else, the five schools of the Northern Army have won many battles, why did they suddenly stalemate in Guangzong, and even stalemate for two or three months. In the past two or three months, the yellow scarf has further eroded Jizhou, which is where Liu Hong's foundation lies.

So he used an excuse to replace Lu Zhi. The family immediately counterattacked as soon as possible, which directly made Dong Zhuo lose the battle immediately. It is said that Dong Zhuo gave a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to save himself, but in fact, Liu Hong is not considerate of Dong Zhuo? Knowing the real reason for his failure, I don't embarrass him.

This world is slightly different, the Baibo army suddenly raised troops, so that Dong Zhuo, the Hedong Taishou, immediately went north to support; Huangfu Song had to face the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, which numbered more than tens of thousands.

In contrast, Lu Zhi and Ding Yuan had a smooth journey, and even Zhang Jiao suddenly died, and Yan Zheng suddenly killed Zhang Bao and Cheng Zhiyuan to surrender to the Han army, making the original hard mode become a low-level mode...... If you can't win the battle, you have to suspect the IQ of Ding Yuan and Lu Zhi. Relatively speaking, if they are stalemate or lose, they are directly despising Liu Hong's IQ.

"The Yellow Turban Army of the Sanzhou Army is very fierce, and Huangfu Song is currently fighting hard, but the imperial court has sent five thousand cavalry to support him, and the general of the army is Cao Cao, but now he has been appointed as the captain of the capital;

The Bai Bo army seems to have gained a clear advantage, Dong Zhuo's situation is not very good, maybe after we arrive in Luoyang, it is very likely that we will go north to replace him to defeat the Bai Bo army.

It is worth mentioning that if the Bai Bo Army really defeats Dong Zhuo, the family is only afraid that it will form a large number of volunteers as soon as possible, and it will not be able to take the opportunity to enter Beijing at that time...... So we'd better hurry up and head north! Yang Lang replied slowly.

"There are no big troops around here, and we will start to go north at full speed before tomorrow...... Can someone arrange for Zhang Man to be sent back to the autonomous region? Li Yu looked at Cheng Yu this time.

"Unfortunately, there are no extra manpower!" Cheng Yu shook his head, he only arranged for someone to send Bocai back not long ago, and now there is still extra manpower.

"Then send Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong, Gong Du and Huang Shao back to the autonomous region, and all the Yellow Turban Army will be scattered and integrated into the army. Those with combat experience are assigned to the main battle unit, and those who are not qualified in physical condition are selected into the logistics unit! Li Yu ordered.

"Is it okay for us to expand our army in such an open and honest way?" Li Wen asked.

"This is a temporary expansion of the army, and it will still be cut when it returns to the autonomous region, so let's say it to the outside world! And who knows, Your Majesty, will he let us expand the army? Li Yu said with a smile.

"That's fine, it's just that if you want to break up and reorganize, you need to do it for at least a day!" Li Wen advised.

"Let's arrange the specific reorganization work in advance like this, and then talk about it when we get to Luoyang! After all, we don't have a military order at present, and if we want to directly attack the Baibo army, we can't say it, we still have to delay it for a day or two in Luoyang. Li Yu thought for a while and said.

"Whoa!" Li Wen no longer objected, and several other people also began to make arrangements. (To be continued.) )
