Chapter 64, Elite Soldiers
(Happy, it's almost hard, it's finally time to recommend - next week, thank you for your companionship and support during this time, I know I still have a lot to lose, but with your support I feel like I'm doing it, and finally I have to routinely ask for a vote!) ~)
"But Wen He also knows that no matter what the situation on the side of the Xiliang Army is, my foundation is still in the Bingzhou Army, so this is a place that cannot be discarded, and there is Wen He and Gongtai on the Xiliang Army's side for the time being, so there is no need to worry, but now the situation of the Bingzhou Army is still a little insufficient." Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said.
"The lord refers to ......"
"Elite soldiers!"
"Elite soldiers?"
"That's right, it's an elite soldier."
Jia Xu just wanted to say that there was still Gao Shun's trapped camp, but looking at Lu Bu's solemn face, he knew that he still had something to say, he thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "The lord wants to talk about cavalry?" ”
Lu Bu also smiled, Jia Xu really understood his own thoughts, he nodded and said: "Wen He is right, what Bu Zhi thinks is cavalry, in fact, the state army itself is mainly cavalry...... Oh, by the way, Wen Hedang has also seen a few scenes of trapping camp drills, I don't know how it feels? ”
Jia Xu pondered for a while, and then replied cautiously: "Experience on the spot, in fact, you can feel its rainbow-like momentum, and the camp is indeed worthy of being the elite of the elite, I am afraid that it will not be an exaggeration to say that it can be ten at a time, and even worse." Speaking of this, I have to mention General Gao, who will be the soul of the army, General Gao is really a commander's talent, and he is only seen in his life, and there is such an elite infantry in the state army, which can be described as a tiger with wings. ”
Lu Bu also nodded with a smile on his face, because he was indeed very satisfied with Gao Shun, and in the state army, he valued Gao Shun even more than Zhang Liao in some cases, Gao Shun should be the kind of person who gave him enough opportunities, and he would be able to make you surprise the results, in Lu Bu's opinion, Gao Shun is a handsome talent who is enough to command an elite army of 100,000 people, or even more than a million generals, not to mention that what he is best at is training, and the entire trap camp is almost brought out by him.
Jia Xu thought for a while, and then said: "Riding in parallel, the idea is indeed good." And the state army to train a cavalry elite, the conditions can be described as unique, not to mention, just like Gao Shunzhi in the camp in general, for this cavalry elite, the lord also needs to choose a talent to train soldiers, it just so happens that the lord is actually good at training cavalry in the majority, such as Wei Xu, Hao Meng have such means, a single may not be as good, but together they can learn from each other's strengths, why not take advantage of it? ”
Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu, his face was calm and calm, but Lu Bu knew that his words were not untargeted, he had just relaxed his attitude towards Wei Xu and them, and even showed signs of reuse, so Jia Xu should not consider it from this point of view, that is, he really felt that they had this ability.
But it's not surprising to think about it, if you put aside the prejudices in those impressions from later generations, Wei Xu, Hao Meng and Song Xian are all fierce generals, and they can follow Lu Bu under Lu Bu and merge the state army, and the reason why Lu Bu was able to lay down the prestige of "flying general" when he merged the state is naturally not just his own credit, with so many years of experience, the accumulation is enough for Wei Xu and others to use, and now Lu Bu wants to let them play for their own use.
Lu Bu was very moved by Jia Xu's construction, and it was also because he actually had a mind in the morning, but today he saw Wei Xu and the others thinking about it again, and now Jia Xu said it directly.
Since they all have a dedicated elite infantry and are trapped in the camp, in a regiment like the Bingzhou Army, where cavalry is king, it is inconceivable and criminal not to have its own cavalry elite.
There are natural good conditions here, there are good generals, and there are enough elite soldiers to choose from, in the final analysis, it is a matter of careful selection, but with the base of tens of thousands of cavalry of the state army, and it has a good foundation, it is really suitable to cultivate, and even the name Lu Bu has thought of it, so it is simply called the "Flying Bear Army", and it is also connected with his original idea, so that it can become a cavalry directly under him. …,
And the formation of such a cavalry, in fact, is not a bad thing for the current Lu Bu, in the final analysis, the most elite under his command is still the cavalry, the number is strong - the trap camp is of course an alternative, but in fact, if the trap camp really starts to be a cavalry, it should not be bad, but even if they are cavalry, they should belong to a kind of heavy cavalry, and for the current Lu Bu, although it is not a big problem to bear the heavy cavalry, it increases the pressure, The military expenditure on those equipment alone is a large amount, think about how much money Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is piling up now? All the royal family is owned by Dong Zhuona, and in addition to Dong Zhuo's personal enjoyment, a large part of it is used on this, whether it is military salary, equipment, or war horses, it is not comparable to other armies.
Of course, the terrifying Lu Bu of the heavy cavalry knew and wanted to have such a terrible force of his own, but only if he could afford it himself, for now, he could only slow it down; Comparatively, the light cavalry, which has a lower cost and is easier to achieve the goal in a short period of time, is more in line with Lu Bu's current requirements.
To be honest, when he saw the white horse righteous servants of Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan coming and going like the wind in the Tiger Prison to the Yanshi battlefield before, Lu Bu said that he was a little salivating.
Speed, and even the impact and explosive power produced in an instant, is definitely a major advantage of the cavalry charge, from this point of view, the light cavalry is even better than the heavy cavalry, after all, the weight of the heavy cavalry itself must limit the speed, their power and destructive power are undoubted, but it is definitely not possible to run, whether it is a knight or a war horse will be too consumed, this is also one of the biggest drawbacks of the heavy cavalry, that is, it is not easy to move, and can only shoot in a specific battle at certain moments.
If Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is biased towards heavy cavalry, then the Bingzhou cavalry is biased towards light cavalry, which itself has a lot to do with the environment they are in and the enemies they face, and with the speed of light cavalry, if you add the "Three Treasures in the Horse" specially prepared by Lu Bu, this advantage will be brought into full play, and Lu Bu really has some expectations for this.
"Of course," Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu gradually came back to his senses, after all, these are still just imaginations, and there are still many problems to consider and solve in reality, "Even if you want to cultivate the elite cavalry, in terms of the innate conditions of the cavalry in the state and the limit of the burden that the lord can bear, the light cavalry is the best, but even then it requires an expense, which should be concealed from Dong Zhuo's side, it is best to open up another secret venue, and at the same time, the expenses must be borne by yourself...... Oh, that's not all, there are a lot of places to use money in the future, and it's best to have a good means of collecting money. ”
Lu Bu patted his head, to be honest, he really rarely considered the problem of using money for so long, but this is definitely an unavoidable problem, the commerce of this era is naturally not so developed, especially since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the war has caused the decline of the commercial city economy, since the Han Dynasty, the more inclined heavy agriculture and business suppression policy has also made the natural economy very developed, under the effect of the two phases, so that the coin is not good, and the original history of Dong Zhuo at this time abolished the long-standing Han five-baht coin, recast small money circulation, This phenomenon was exacerbated by the chaos of the currency system, which made physical exchange prevalent and caused many people to blame Dong Zhuo.
Of course, for the time being, Dong Zhuo has not done this kind of thing after being stopped by Li Ru, but Lu Bu thinks about it carefully, if possible, he can collect some money in the process, so it seems that persuading Dong Zhuo to abolish the five-baht money and switch to small money, it is still good for himself, and of course he can do something that is beneficial, and with his character, he may still do this kind of thing by collecting copper to mint money.
