There has never been an accurate number of how many troops a state pastor can support, and Cao Cao gave Cao Pi the right to act cheaply in Youzhou, which shows that Cao Pi can recruit troops independently. But now Cao Cao also sent a letter to recruit troops for his brother Cao Zhang, and one move is 2,000 people.
If there are 2,000 people, it is not a big deal, when Cao Pi included Wang Shuang in the camp, he established Qiang Douqu, and recruited hundreds of people at once, 2,000 people, not just a few hundred. But if it is 2,000 cavalry, then the problem comes, first of all, the cavalry must be elite soldiers, and the recruitment of cavalry in Youzhou is certainly not an ordinary flat-headed people, because the common people can't afford to ride horses, and it is impossible to train cavalry from scratch.
That means to recruit troops from the local clans, the general source of cavalry is the son of the clan, because such children have no inheritance rights, and the status at home is not high, if you love to read, study in the East, you can also go to the official career or run a family at home, if you don't like to study, then you can only enter the army to fight for a future.
Therefore, there are basically several characteristics of being a cavalryman: his family is good, he is a concubine, and he does not like to study. Such people are often easier to promote, firstly, the cavalry has a high starting point and only fights important battles, and secondly, they are born into a large clan, for commanders like Cao Pi and Cao Zhang, the children of the same clan will naturally have a sense of closeness, although Cao Pi clearly knows that the family will be a cancer in the next few hundred years, but he is also one of them, which seems to be a generalized bloodline, which will make people inexplicably have a sense of belonging.
Of course, this does not mean that Cao Pi will not use people from poor families, for example, Wang Shuang was single-handedly promoted by Cao Pi. But it is undeniable that Cao Pi also likes to use people from the family, but the so-called family is not necessarily prominent, such as Liu Ye, who Cao Pi got up early and pulled on the thief ship, he is a family, but he is not a family of Xuanhe. Having said that, although most of the cavalry people are concubines, they also have a manor of three or five generations to operate, and they are naturally also families, so they are promoted quickly in the army.
Now Cao Cao asked Cao Zhang to recruit cavalry, one move is 2,000 people, and it is recruited in Youzhou, a team of 2,000 people, how many Youzhou clans are behind it, just count it is a great number. Moreover, Cao Pi had to use the existing army to pacify various states and counties when he first arrived in Youzhou, after all, Xian Yufu and Yan Rou were still theoretically in a state of self-respect, not to mention Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, who had rebelled from Yuan Xi's command. Cao Pi, a sergeant under the command of these people, wants to be collected and organized, so how can he have the spare strength to recruit troops? Therefore, this soup can only be the 2,000 people that Cao Zhang wants to recruit.
In other words, Cao Chang can also build a bridge of communication with the local clan by recruiting troops, although Cao Chang is very young and not necessarily sensible, but Sima Lang, who is traveling with him, is himself a Hanoi clan, and he is naturally familiar with dealing with the clan.
In the matter of recruiting troops for Cao Zhang, there will be a form in Youzhou: decentralization. Now there are two sons of the Cao family in Youzhou, but the first to recruit troops is the second son Cao Zhang, and the eldest son Cao Pi wants to incorporate the existing army in Youzhou and pacify the locality. This naturally creates two forces. One is the Youzhou clan power after Cao Zhang's 2,000 cavalry, and the other is the power of Yuan's generals such as Xian Yufu, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, and Yan Rou.
Cao Pi knew with his toes that there would be a split bet in Youzhou, such as giving Shuzi A to Cao Zhang as a cavalryman, and then putting Shuzi B into Cao Pi's army, Ru Xian Yufu and others would even send a few relatives to Cao Zhang's command as soldiers, which would lead to the two forces being intertwined, you have me, I have you. On the surface, Cao Zhang and Cao Pi formed a power distribution situation, but in fact, the local clans and generals bet on both sides, and in the end the winner is still this group of local snakes.
From Cao Pi's point of view, Cao Cao's play certainly made a way to restrain Cao Pi, so that civil servants like Sima Lang in the army spread the news back to the Central Plains, so that the royalists and the Han Party could rest assured, but it also caused a certain problem for Cao Pi to govern Youzhou, Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu's troops will leave in the future, so what is the positioning of Cao Zhang's two thousand cavalry? Let Cao Zhang take it himself? Now Cao Zhang's official position is marching Sima, and when the army of Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu goes back, the marching Sima will no longer exist, but the food for the two thousand cavalry is still from Youzhou Mansion, and the letter does not say that this team is under the jurisdiction of the state pastor, so what does that mean? So this is a cavalry that has not been under the jurisdiction of the state pastor, but needs to be supported by the Youzhou Mansion?
The cavalry needs to be equipped with horse-raising people, transfer horses, if it is a heavy cavalry like the Ru Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the garrison should be equipped with a civilian man who scrubs the armor, on the surface it is two thousand, but it is 10,000 people, plus horses, then a place should be allocated in Youzhou for them to station, although the letter did not write whether the cavalry should be light or heavy, but the cavalry team formed by Cao Zhang, who yearns for perseverance, will it be light cavalry?
Cao Pi felt impossible. Moreover, Cao Zhang is his own brother, a cavalry composed of the children of the local big clan, and the brother of Youzhou Mu, the son of the court Sikong leads the army alone, is this group of people going to the sky? You don't need to look at anything else, just look at Cao Pi's divine envoy camp in Xudu. Back then, the Divine Envoy Battalion was like Xiahou Bawei Zhen, but everyone felt that they were superior, and they could look down on the ordinary big-headed soldiers. Therefore, this situation will also cause contradictions in the army.
"Before I entered Youzhou, I came to such a problem, it's really helpless....." Cao Pi smiled self-deprecatingly, and then called Cao Zhen over. If there is anyone surnamed Cao who can make Cao Pi believe, only Cao Zhen is him. This kid who has no blood relationship with Cao Pi is the closest person in the depths of his memory, this closeness comes from the memory of Cao Pi in the previous life, and also comes from getting along with him after he crosses over, Cao Pi thinks that he sees people very accurately, and the young man in front of him also has this trust and admiration for himself like his father and brother.
After Cao Zhen came, Cao Pi handed him the letter, and after reading it, Cao Zhen said: "In this way, the elder brother relies on the identity of his sister-in-law to contact the local clan, and Brother Ziwen relies on these two thousand knights. One day, the elder brother will leave Youzhou, and Brother Ziwen will be able to pacify Youzhou with this relationship. ”
Cao Pi nodded, I thought that when Cao Zhang came here, in order to grasp the merit statistics, so that Cao Pi could not gain the heart of the army with his own charm, but he didn't expect to come as a successor, I don't know if Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao came with such a hand, and now that Youzhou has not entered, there are already two candidates suitable for calming down, and it is not easy for him to control Youzhou.....
