"Officers' Training Corps?"

"Is it training officers?"

"With the martial arts students who teach martial arts as soldiers, isn't the gold content a little too high!"

In the ring-shaped council hall, the generals listened to Sun Quan's words and immediately pondered deeply.

The martial arts students of the lecture hall have always been the talents to be contested in the army, and time has proved that the professional officers who came out of the lecture hall are all strengthened by ordinary officers in terms of military quality and strategic deployment.

"Your Majesty, isn't this equivalent to the elite of the major legions?" Pan Feng said in a low voice.

"That's right, it's to draw the elite!"

Sun Quan said: "You don't have to worry too much, before the big war, this group of officers will definitely come back, actual combat is the best teacher, the officers from the martial arts hall, if there are any shortcomings, it is on paper, they need to fight!" ”

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Sun Ce, Zhao Yun and the others thought about it and nodded in agreement one after another.

"Your Majesty's move is very good, and we agree with it!"

The generals glanced at each other a few times, and Sun Quan's proposal was unanimously approved, an officer training corps, at most about 1,000 people, which had no impact on military changes, and actual combat training was indeed the training urgently needed by officers from the martial arts hall.

"Okay, that's it!"

Sun Quan stood up and looked at the sky: "It's not too early, I don't have the habit of fighting at night, other topics, the next meeting is continuing!" ”

"No!"

The generals nodded, and the meeting dispersed.

The day after the military meeting of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Sun Quan summoned Tai Shici into the imperial study early in the morning.

"The last general, Tai Shi Ci, see Your Majesty!"

Tai Shi Cilong walked in and bowed to Sun Quan.

"No need to be polite, get up!"

Sun Quan looked up. His eyes fell on this first-class tiger general in Dongwu, his expression was a little complicated, it seemed that he had been too depressed by Shi Ziyi for too long during this time, and he had lost his demeanor a little.

"Ziyi, you fought that battle in Xinye City, for that offensive and defensive battle. What do you feel in your mind? ”

Sun Quan pondered for a long moment, looked at Tai Shici, and asked.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Xinye, between us and the Wei army, we can only be regarded as a loser, because our troops are weak, so we have always been at a disadvantage, and Zhang Xiu of the Wei Dynasty is indeed a rare general. Whether he charges into battle or arranges his troops, he is very strong! ”

When Tai Shici heard this, he replied a little decently.

"I asked not Zhang Xiu, but you, how do you feel about your own performance in this battle?"

Sun Quan squinted slightly, his gaze became sharp, and he stared at Tai Shi Ci's eyes like a knife: "I have already read the detailed report of the entire battle. Among them, there were three emergencies in Shinno Castle, and it was you who personally led the guards to recapture the city wall. But do you know that there are thousands of soldiers and horses in Xiangyang that can be mobilized, but you insist on not asking for help, is it a bit too arrogant? ”

"Your Majesty, the last general didn't have this intention, but at that time, the last general thought that the soldiers and horses of the Flying Tiger Battalion were empty, plus Zhang He's raid on Jingzhou before. Let Jingzhou be unstable, so don't dare to move the garrison of Xiangyang City! ”

Tai Shici's heart suddenly burst, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice.

"Ziyi, you are no longer an ordinary fierce general. You are handsome, the commander of the three armies, your words and deeds can determine the fate of the soldiers under your command! ”

Sun Quan stood up, walked out from behind the imperial case, put his hands behind his back, looked at Tai Shici's face, and reprimanded with some sharp words: "I tell you, I am very dissatisfied with the battle of Xinye City, if it weren't for Ju Yi's timely reinforcements to you, Xinye City may have been broken by the Wei army, and the soldiers of the Eighth Division of the Flying Tiger are also afraid that the whole army will be wiped out, this is not the result I want to see, you are at fault with this, and the fault lies in your too persistent persistence." ”

"Your Majesty, I ......"

Tai Shici's face turned a little pale, and he wanted to analyze, but he couldn't do so.

Sun Quan interrupted his voice and continued: "Maybe I have pressed you too hard during this time, so you are anxious to make a appearance, you want to use this battle to tell me that you are too Shi Ci to fight, can fight, and is not afraid of death, right?" ”

Tai Shi Ci suddenly lowered his head and was silent.

He could refute other words, but Sun Quan's words hit his heart, he did have this idea at that time, since he was taken out of the position of general of the chariot and cavalry, he was always a little unwilling.

A general's unwillingness can only be smoothed out with his battle record, he wants Xinye to fight to tell the court that it is the court's fault that his Tai Shici's ability is shelved.

"Actually, I can understand your thoughts, but you can't use the life of a soldier to think about yourself, for a general, be brave, be handsome, be stable, you Taishi Ziyi is a general, and you are also a handsome talent, when you are brave, don't forget to calm down, otherwise in my heart, you can only be a charging young general for the rest of your life!"

Sun Quan said every word very seriously, and reprimanded him mercilessly.

Tai Shici is definitely not a brave and unscrupulous person, he is just anxious, so Sun Quan wants to give him a vigilance and a lesson.

"The last general knows his mistake, please punish His Majesty!"

Tai Shici's face turned red, he knelt down on his knees, and bowed his head to the ground.

"It's useless to just know that you're wrong, and if you're wrong, you have to learn to change it!"

Sun Quan's face relaxed, and he helped him up, which was the main topic that summoned him early in the morning, and he asked, "Ziyi, you should have heard of the meeting of the Military Aircraft Pavilion?" ”

"Sun Shangshu has already given me a breath!"

Tai Shi Ci nodded, there was a broken bone and tendon between him and Sun Ce, and Sun Ce gave him a message, which was normal.

"If you're mentally prepared!"

Sun Quan continued: "The preparation of the officer training regiment, you are fully responsible, Lu Meng and Lu Xun will assist you, within a month, you must go to Guishan, remember that the young generals in the army are up to you to choose, but it is only the younger generation, reinforcing Guishan is a purpose, it is even more important to give them some opportunities for actual combat, the soldiers recruited by the teaching regiment must be literate and readable, I can give you a right, you can choose from among the martial arts students in the martial arts hall!" ”

"Your Majesty, those young soldiers recruited by this officer training corps. It should only be temporarily formed in the regiment, right? Tai Shici asked tentatively: "After their actual combat training is over, they will go back to their respective homes and find their mothers?" ”

"Ziyi, this question is so simple, you already have the answer in your heart, then you don't need to ask!"

Sun Quan smiled: "If the young generation in the army is the best." If they are all enveloped by your Tai Shi Ci in one breath, how many legions are you going to devour you alive? ”

"I feel like I'm a bit of a coolie!" Tai Shi Ci said: "The soldiers and horses brought out by myself were taken away by others in the end, which is a little unhappy!" ”

"Ziyi, take a long-term view, if you can train this group of soldiers, I'm afraid you won't think like this in the future!"

Sun Quan pointed to the way.

He concentrated an officer training corps in order to train middle-level generals, and also to train the younger generation of leading generals.

Put Lumon. Lu Xun, Ding Feng, Ling Tong, Zhu Heng...... The best of these young generations are all gathered in a regiment, and the weight of this officer teaching regiment in the army in the future is terrifying to think about.

As the main general, Tai Shici will have a decisive influence in the future.

"The Admiral understands!"

Tai Shi Ci's eyes were bright and bright, and he naturally understood the meaning of this.

"Of course. The officer training corps is actually just a mission on the surface! ”

Sun Quan walked up and said in a low voice, "This time you go west to Guishuang." It's not just as simple as reinforcing Zhou Tai, the Battle of Guishan has reached the final end, and after this battle, Zhou Tai's Sea Eagle Legion will return to the sea to develop, and rest in Guishan. In these territories of the Western Regions, the Military Aircraft Department will set up the Ninth Legion, that is, the Western Expedition Legion! ”

"The Western Expeditionary Legion?" Tai Shici frowned: "Your Majesty, wasn't this proposal shelved by the Military Aircraft Department?" ”

"You're pretty well-informed!"

Sun Quan sighed, and his handsome face was a little helpless: "That's right." The establishment of the Western Expeditionary Corps was temporarily shelved, and they couldn't come up with money or people, so naturally they couldn't establish this legion, but it was only postponed, not denied.

Sooner or later, the Western Expeditionary Legion will be established, once the Guishan is laid down and the Western Regions are protected in the north, our Great Wu will be equivalent to taking a foundation in the Western Regions, not to mention the Western Expedition to Rome, we still need the strength to garrison this territory, so the Western Expeditionary Legion must be established! ”

"So Your Majesty wants me to prepare for the Western Expedition?" Tai Shi Ci understood.

"You're right!"

Sun Quan nodded and said: "Now that Han Sui has a force in the Western Regions, you can take the soldiers and horses in Han Sui's hands as a foundation, insert your own officers, and then recruit troops locally to set up the Western Expeditionary Corps. ”

"Your Majesty, Han Sui will definitely not listen to me, the tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands are soldiers, and he can withdraw from Liangzhou with him, and he is absolutely loyal to him, and it is too difficult for us to recruit troops locally, so we will use Guishan as a soldier, and my heart is not steady, the difficulty of preparing for the establishment of this Western Expeditionary Army is too high!"

Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly.

"If this were just a simple matter, I'm afraid I wouldn't let you do it!"

Sun Quan said: "In the atmosphere of the Central Plains is so tense now, I don't know when Wu Wei will fight a decisive battle, at this critical moment, I will transfer you, a member of the Eastern Wu Warriors, to the Western Regions, that is, I need a person who can hold the town to establish the Western Expeditionary Legion, Zhou Tai wants to lead the Sea Eagle Legion, he will be drawn out of the land sooner or later, my navy can not always be used as an army to be brave, and Han Sui, although he has already voted for my Great Wu, but I have never believed him, if he is allowed to be a deputy staff officer, I dare to use it, but let him lead a legion, I'm afraid he doesn't know when he's going to turn back! ”

"The last general is afraid that he is not capable enough and has betrayed His Majesty's trust!"

Tai Shi Ci felt a heavy trust, and his heart throbbed a little.

"You don't have faith?" Sun Quan is excited.

"Yes!"

Tai Shi Ci gritted his teeth and said with the order: "Even if the last general goes up the sword mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, he will complete His Majesty's trust and establish the Western Expeditionary Army at all costs!" ”

"With fighting spirit and self-confidence, this is the unparalleled general of our Great Wu Dynasty!"

Sun Quan smiled and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I am not the kind of person who lets the horses run and prevent the horses from grazing, I have given you such a heavy responsibility, and naturally I will give you some support, I will privately allocate one million silver dollars of military expenses and 30,000 sets of armor weapons from the treasury of the palace, bypassing the intervention of the Ministry of War and the Logistics Department." Directly transferred to the account of the officer training corps, it can be regarded as for you to prepare for the Western Expeditionary Corps, but you can keep this matter secret, and don't let Sun Bofu, the secretary of the military department, know, otherwise I can't guarantee whether it can reach you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support. Your Majesty's direction, don't talk about Sun Bofu, even if the general comes to stretch out his hand in person, I won't give it! ”

Tai Shi Ci looked overjoyed, with this huge amount of money and armor weapons, it was not difficult to recruit troops locally.

In this way, the Western Expeditionary Corps can at least have a good start.

"Ziyi, this matter is very difficult. When you enter Guishuang, first of all, you have to find a way to meet Han Sui, the soldiers and horses in Han Sui's hands are your foundation, take it at all costs, Yan Xing is a brave general, as long as you can take the lead in taking him, there is hope for the construction of the Western Expeditionary Army, the most important thing. Yan Xing is a line for you to stabilize Han Sui, and you want to use Han Sui's soldiers. You can't turn your face with Han Sui, Han Sui has a lot of eyes, but Yan Xing is a soldier, you should know how to win over! ”

Sun Quan nodded at Tai Shi Ci.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely take down Yan Xing!"

Tai Shici's eyes flashed with a hint of calculation.

"Ziyi, you go. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the Central Plains for many years! ”

Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder: "Take care of yourself, what I want to hear is that in the future, the Western Expeditionary Army will open up territory for the Great Wu Dynasty and make contributions, but I don't want to hear the news that you died in the barbarian battlefield!" ”

——————————————————————————————————

June is like fire.

Under the borders of the Kushan Empire, the weather is extremely hot. A hot and dry atmosphere was suppressed in the sand of the rich buildings in the capital of Guishan.

In the rich and palatial Kushan Palace, the King of Kushan, a sturdy young man of the Otsuki clan, Vesudeva I, wore a gorgeous king's golden robe, but his expression was a little depressed and he sat high on the throne.

Under the palace, the generals and ministers of the Guishan Royal City were all depressed at this moment.

A few years ago, they had never imagined that the mighty Kushan Empire would fall into such a field.

The Kushan Empire has always been very strong, in the Western Regions, on this land, they have fought countless bloody battles with the Anxi, they once went north to Kangju, also entered the Dawan Kingdom, and fought with the Huns.

But since encountering the invasion of the Wu army, it has been defeated and retreated.

They may never have imagined that someone would be able to enter the Kushan Empire from the sea, and since the loss of the border city on the sea, the Kushan Empire has been defeated.

Whether it is combat effectiveness, weapons, or strategic attacks, the Wu army is above them, under the conscription of the past few years, countless Dayue Qingzhuang have been killed on the battlefield, and the treasury has been consumed, and the entire Kushan Empire is now left with less than a few cities in the north

"Your Majesty, the news from the Green Ridge side, the Central Plains people have led a large army south, have captured Malakanda, and are now attacking the Lan City, the Lan City's General Hassan asked for help, if the Lan City is taken by the Central Plains people, we will be surrounded!"

A Kushan general stood up and reported to Vesudeva I.

The Green Ridge is in the north of the Kushan Empire, connecting the Kangju Kingdom, the Dawan Kingdom, the nomadic tribes of the Dayue Clan and the Kushan Empire, which is the road to the north of the Kushan Empire.

"Didn't the Wu army attack in the south? How did they call from the north? ”

Vesudeva I's face was pale, his Kushan Empire used to have 100,000 troops, but in the years of conquest, there were few left, and the elite soldiers were wiped out repeatedly, and now they want to send troops and horses to the north, but there are none!

"Your Majesty, let's break through!" A minister said in a low voice: "These Wu troops are even stronger than the Han army back then, and we can't resist them at all!" ”

"Breakout?"

Vesudeva I's eyes were scarlet, but he was unwilling but helpless: "Where else can we break through now?" ”

"Your Majesty, we can go and rest in peace in the Empire!"

A short minister walked out: "These Oriental Central Plains people are too hateful, they have occupied our homeland, presumably they will not let go of the Rest Empire, the King of Rest will inevitably fight, and when the time comes, we may be able to drive these Easterners out of Guishan and return to the country!" (To be continued.) )
