Chapter 160: A Silent Test
After a big war, there are many things to deal with the aftermath, but these do not need to be done by the coach Lu Bu himself, so naturally there are military advisors Chen Gong and several deputy generals who are busy with each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It didn't take long for Song Xian, who was in charge of the interrogation, to report to Lu Bu and confirm that Hu Cai's confession was true, and Huang Long finally adopted Hu Cai's suggestion and concentrated the main force to cross the river near Yewang County, which led to this great victory of the Tiance army.
Since Hu Cai's crime was not to death, Lu Bu decided to give Hu Cai a chance. He asked the soldiers to send Hu Cai herbs to treat his back injury, and then asked Hu Cai if he was willing to join the Tiance Army, Hu Cai was waiting for such an opportunity, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.
When Lü Bu was fighting in Hedong, he had captured a small number of Han Xianam's subordinates of the Baibo Army, and some of them had joined Lü Bu's army after being transformed, and a very small number of these people with relatively high talent were absorbed into the flying cavalry battalion. The total number of such flying knights is less than twenty, and now they are the elite of those who are loyal to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu ordered these eighteen knights to be recruited into the account and personally encouraged them. Subsequently, Lu Bu sent someone to call Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan.
Lü Bu said to Zhao Yun: "After Guo Da was defeated in Hedong, the Baibo army was divided into three groups, of which Yu Fuluo led one stream into the area of Shangjun and Zuo Fengyi, and the other group was taken to Hanoi by Hu Cai, and then took refuge in Huanglong, and the last group fled in Hedong. Now the head of the Yellow Dragon Owl, in addition to the Black Mountain people who were killed on the battlefield, there are many left. Originally, it was planned to build a new infantry army composed of a mixture of Bai Bo's remnants and Montenegrin captives, mainly responsible for guarding and escorting the captives to Bingzhou, but Zilong was willing to take on the heavy responsibility? ”
"The general has an order, and his subordinates don't dare to disobey!" Zhao Yun replied without hesitation.
Lü Bu then appointed Zhao Yun as the Sima of the Tiance Army, and was solely responsible for guarding and escorting the prisoners of war captured after the battle. Xia Houlan served as a military judge, and Hu Cai served as Zhao Yun's deputy, and the two worked together to assist Zhao Yun.
Huang Long brought out more than 30,000 subordinates from Montenegro, and after this battle, there were more than 20,000 left, and Lu Bu allowed Zhao Yun to select 3,000 people from more than 20,000 people to form an infantry battalion, and the battalion number was not determined for the time being.
The eighteen knights who had been born in the Baibo Rebellion Army were sent by Lu Bu to Zhao Yun to act as Zhao Yun's personal entourage.
After this battle, Zhao Yun was promoted from the commander of the tun directly to the military marquis, and he was also a Sima of other departments who could lead the troops to fight alone.
Although Zhao Yun's promotion was fast, it was not easy for Lu Bu to give him the task this time. In fact, Lu Bu gave him a position and eighteen relatives, and everything else needed Zhao Yun to find a way to solve it himself.
Lü Bu would not tell Zhao Yun that there was a method of ideological transformation in the Tiance army, and Lü Bu would not remind Zhao Yun to let him have a good relationship with Hu Cai and the eighteen retinue, and through them first do the ideological work of the former Baibo army captives that Hu Cai brought from Hedong, and then manage and monitor the Black Mountain captives through these Baibo troops.
This appointment is a very important test for Lu Bu to Zhao Yun. Through this test, Lu Bu had to figure out a question that was bothering him in the bottom of his heart.
In Lu Bu's memory, Zhao Yun in another time and space never had the opportunity to lead the army alone in his life, he was just the head of Uncle Liu's personal guard. Liu Bei's best thing is to find usable talents from a group of inconspicuous people, if Zhao Yun has the ability to lead the army alone, why doesn't Liu Bei let Zhao Yun serve as the commander or the main general?
If Zhao Yun can hand over an excellent answer sheet to Lu Bu this time, Lu Bu will train Zhao Yun as a candidate for the main generals like Zhang Liao and Xu Huang. If Zhao Yun could not cope with such a situation, then Lu Bu would transfer Zhao Yun back to the Flying Cavalry Camp and train him to become the commander of the guards.
Zhao Yun was nine years younger than Lu Bu, but Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were not much older than Zhao Yun. Zhang Liao is only two years older than Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang is only one year older than Zhao Yun, and the three of them actually belong to the same age group.
When the champion Hou Huo became famous, he was only nineteen years old. When he was made a hussar general, he was only twenty-two years old. The title of hussar general was set up by Emperor Wu because of Huo Quai's exploits, which shows that ambition is never in old age!
Lu Bu employs people and is eclectic, not only can he reuse Gao Shun and Xu Rong, who are old and serious, but also boldly promote the young and promising Zhang Liao and Xu Huang. Whether Zhao Yun can become a rising star in the Tiance Army depends on his own ability.
When Zhao Yun walked out of Lu Bu's main account, his face did not have the expression of ecstasy after the sudden rise, his expression was a little solemn.
The general's special appreciation and respect for him can be seen by everyone. Zhao Yun didn't want to live up to the general's painstaking cultivation, but he also knew very well how difficult it was to select personnel from the originally chaotic White Polish Army and the Black Mountain Army to form a new army.
What's more, after the formation of the unit is completed, this unit will be responsible for escorting their former companions to the state for punishment and hard labor. It's definitely a lot more difficult than killing the enemy on the battlefield.
Zhao Yun stopped and thought for a moment, and said to Xia Houlan: "Let's go, let's go and visit Hu Cai." ”
"Huh? You injured him, and when you go to see him, isn't it boring for you? Xia Houlan said with some puzzlement.
"This time, that time! If he were a smart man, he wouldn't hold a grudge against me. ”
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he walked towards the tent where Hu Cai was being held.
Hu Cai, who was recuperating from his injuries on his stomach, saw Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, who was a little unfamiliar, suddenly walked in, with doubts and puzzles on their faces. He was not worried that Zhao Yun would come to his detriment, because this was the camp of the Tiance Army, and Zhao Yun was a subordinate of General Lu Bu.
Zhao Yun said to Hu Cai: "The general intends to let the three of us be responsible for forming a new battalion of the army, and the soldiers will be selected from the prisoners after this battle, and I will also ask Hu Junshi to cooperate with me and the military judge to tide over the difficulties together, regardless of previous suspicions." ”
Only then did Hu Cai understand that he had become Zhao Yun's deputy.
"Hu thanked the general for not killing, and also thanked Zilong's subordinates for their mercy, when they first found me, they never stabbed me to death. Zilong rest assured, Hu knows the seriousness of this matter, and he will definitely try his best to assist you. ”
Xia Houlan could see that what Hu Cai said was from her heart. In that chaotic situation at that time, with Zhao Yun's skills, wanting to kill Hu Cai was just a matter of thought for Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun only used his spear to draw Hu Cai's back, which gave Hu Cai a chance to meet Lu Bu.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan sat beside Hu Cai, and the three of them discussed how to form a foot camp.
Hu Cai suggested to Zhao Yun: "I heard that the general's side of the Chen military division is wise and resourceful, and he is personally responsible for many affairs of the Tiance Army, Zilong is now shouldering a heavy responsibility, why not go to him for help, so as to show respect to him, and at the same time close the relationship between them." ”
