Lü Bu did what he said, and after cleaning up the Southern Huns near Jiangyi, he took all his troops, including those living slaves, into the Fenhe Ancient Road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Yi took some of the people out of the city to see them off, and they stood on the high bank of the river, watching Lü Bu's troops go farther and farther, but they were unwilling to leave.

Lu Bu also thought about simply staying in Hedong to develop, but in the end, reason prevailed over emotion. Hedong is sandwiched between Guanzhong and Luoyang, and at the same time between the Yellow River and Zhongtiao Mountain, which belongs to the battleground of soldiers, and without strong enough military strength and strong enough logistical support, there is only a dead end to hold Hedong.

After five days of marching, the army finally arrived in Yong'an, and achieved a general division with Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao, and Hou Cheng and others stationed here.

Outside Yong'an City, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang talked happily and shared their feelings after parting.

Lu Bu said: "Uncle Zhi, this time in order to encircle and suppress the Southern Huns, it is really hard to transfer you here from Tianjing Pass. ”

Zhang Yang said: "Where is the hard work, with the help of the subordinates you sent, whether it is marching or fighting, it is very easy." ”

While talking, the two walked into Yong'an City side by side.

Lu Bu discussed with Zhang Yang and was going to rearrange the old foundation of the state, the former Luoyang Forbidden Army and the Shangdang New Army, and asked Zhang Yang what his opinion was.

Zhang Yang said that he had no opinion and fully agreed with this approach, which could obviously enhance the overall combat strength of the troops. Lu Bu was not polite to Zhang Yang on this matter, and immediately issued a military order for the whole army to be reorganized on the spot.

There are now nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command, of which the number of the old troops recruited by Ding Yuan is about 12,000, which is also the main body of this army. In addition, there were 3,000 Yue knights selected from the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, 4,000 new troops recruited by Zhang Yang in Shangdang, and nearly 1,000 surrendered soldiers who were converted from the Baibo captives.

Among the 20,000 soldiers and horses, there are about 6,000 cavalry, accounting for 30% of the total, which is the most important mobile combat force of Lu Bu, and the remaining infantry combat strength is uneven, the strongest is naturally 2,000 fallen warriors, and the weakest is estimated to be Bai Bo's troops.

Whether it is from the need to consider centralized management or the need to improve combat effectiveness, Lu Bu must integrate and reorganize this mixed force.

In order to avoid criticism from the outside world, Lu Bu did not plan to reorganize the troops according to the military establishment of later generations for the time being, but he also adjusted some details of the current army establishment.

The mixed army of 20,000 infantry cavalry is equivalent to an army in later generations, and the supreme commander is naturally none other than Lu Bu. Five battalions were set up under Lü Bu, namely the Flying Cavalry Battalion, the Left Battalion, the Middle Battalion, the Right Battalion and the Rear Battalion.

Among them, the flying cavalry battalion is 3,000 people, led by Lu Bu himself, and there is one military Sima for every 1,000 people, which is served by Hou Cheng, Xue Lan and Song Xian respectively. The Flying Cavalry Battalion is the most elite mobile combat force in the whole army, and it is personally led by Lu Bu himself, which can bring its combat effectiveness into full play. Hou Cheng and the others were all generals who were proficient in cavalry warfare, and only Lu Bu could subdue them, so they were directly under Lu Bu.

The left battalion had 4,000 people, with Zhang Yang as the main general, commanding 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry. The deputy generals will be Cheng Lian and Han Wei. Zhang Yang was the oldest in the Bingzhou Army, and sending Cheng Lian and Han Wei, who were also old and stable, to him could avoid contradictions and filthiness between the main and deputy generals.

The middle battalion was 6,000 people, with Gao Shun as the main general, commanding 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. The lieutenants will be Wei Yue and Xu Huang. This battalion has the largest number of troops, and two thousand fallen warriors are also among them, and it is the most reliable combat force outside the flying cavalry battalion.

The right battalion consisted of 4,000 men, with Xu Rong as the main general, commanding 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry. The deputy general is Cao He and Li Feng. Xu Rong was born in the Beijing Forbidden Army, and his loyalty has passed the test, Cao He and Li Feng are not very competitive, and their obedience is high, so it is not easy to cause conflicts when assisting Xu Rong.

The rear battalion has 3,000 people, with Zhang Liao as the chief general and Wang He as the deputy general. Zhang Liao's battalion had the smallest number of people, but in terms of his seniority in the old Bingzhou army, he was already one of the fastest promotions. With Zhang Liao's ability, Lu Bu did not assign him a strong lieutenant general, but only matched Wang He, who performed mediocre in all aspects, which means that Zhang Liao had the final say.

Zhang Yang and Lu Bu can be called brothers, Xu Rong is the deputy general of the Yuecai Battalion, and the starting point is very high, and when Zhang Liao went to Hanoi to recruit troops, his status in the army was ranked behind Cao Xing, Hou Cheng and others. Being able to lead a battalion alone, even if the number is less than a thousand, also represents identity and status.

Lu Zhi and Chen Gong did not directly lead the troops, but served as the left and right divisions of the whole army. In addition, because Jia Kui completed the task well, he was transferred by Lu Bu to the front of the account as the chief secretary. Because of Wei Qi's identity, Lu Bu reserved a position for him as a military judge, but did not force him to go to war with the army. Jia Kui exchanged two catties of salt for the little Wang Xiang, and Lu Bu personally made the decision, relieved of his slave status, and in the future, as Lu Zhi's attendant, he would have the opportunity to see more books.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the reorganization, Lu Bu gathered the above-mentioned personnel together and personally held an ideological mobilization meeting and a task deployment meeting. According to Lu Bu's request, all the soldiers, regardless of their origins, were all disorganized and mixed together, and then the generals of each battalion lined up to select one by one, selecting a hundred people each time, until all the selections were completed.

According to the selection rules formulated by Lu Bu, when selecting people, the first round was selected in the order of the flying cavalry battalion, the middle battalion, the left battalion, the right battalion, and the rear battalion. In the second round, the flying cavalry battalion was selected first, but the order of the next four battalions started from the rear battalion and ended with the middle battalion. In the third round, the Flying Cavalry Battalion was selected first, but the order of the next four battalions changed to start with the right battalion and end with the rear battalion.

Such a selection plan is basically fair, and the particularity of the flying cavalry battalion determines that they can only choose from 6,000 cavalry, which will not affect the other four battalions.

All the generals did not dare to be sloppy, except for eating, they all stayed in the camp, widening their eyes to select the good soldiers in their minds according to their own standards, round after round, although the quality of the soldiers in the back will drop significantly, but everyone is still fighting for each other, refusing to let go of any opportunity to choose.

I'm afraid the only people who can stay out of the matter are Lu Bu and the two military advisors. Lu Bu was not worried at all, because he had Hou Cheng, a general with a nose smarter than a dog and eyes farther than an eagle, so he didn't have to worry about the cavalry picked out by Hou Cheng at all. Lu Zhi and Chen Gong don't need to directly command the troops, they must remain neutral at this time and will not give any advice to others.

Lu Bu felt that it was not good to let the two military advisors be so idle, so he asked a carpenter who was good at carving from near Yong'an, and guided the carpenter to make a pair of chess.

As a chess enthusiast, Lu Bu is very familiar with the rules of chess. He invited Lu Zhi and Chen Gong to come to the account and explain the rules of chess to the two very clever military advisors, and after only saying it once, Lu Zhi and Chen Gong became interested, and then sat down and started a dark board battle.
