Jinling City.

Side hall.

"Uncle, you take a sip of tea, dissipate your anger, and then speak!" Sun Quan looked at the angry Cheng Pu, personally poured him a cup of cool green tea, and said with a smile.

When the news came that Jingzhou Lu Bu and Zhao Yun had joined forces to rectify the army, Cheng Pu's questioning was expected by him.

As a giant with Wu Jun's old qualifications, Cheng Pu will definitely oppose Sun Quan's aggression against the military at this time.

Captain Wu Guo, Cheng Pu's status in the Wu army is one of the best, comparable to Pan Feng, the general, and even surpasses Zhao Yun.

His opposition carries a lot of weight.

"King, can you honestly tell a certain family, how long have you been preparing for Jingzhou?" Cheng Pu's face was cold, his eyes were on fire, and his voice was like ice.

"Before the reform of the court system, Gu had already prepared for the formation of the Jingzhou battalion!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he smiled faintly, and then replied very calmly, "Don't blame Zhao Zilong and Lu Fengxian for this matter, they are all led by Lone's order to do things!" ”

Now that Lu Bu is in the Wu army, there is some public anger that has been aroused, and Sun Quan must show a clear attitude to support them, otherwise, many people will put down the banner of Lu Bu.

"Sure enough, you are the one who is in charge, the king, do you know that this matter may cause trouble for our Wu Kingdom?"

Cheng Pu's face was completely gloomy.

"Thought!" Sun Quan nodded.

"The military is not a court, many things in the court are compromises, but the character of the soldiers is hard, and if they are not careful, it will directly lead to a mutiny, and once the army is in chaos, the entire Wu country will fall into a kind of dire situation. When the time comes, will you be able to clean up the mess? Cheng Pu asked sharply.

"Uncle, as the saying goes, if it is not broken, it will not stand!"

Sun Quan looked at Cheng Pu's angry face, and felt a little helpless. He stood up, his face was calm, and he said very firmly: "I want to reform the military system, there are two reasons, the first is that the current military establishment of Wu is too chaotic, since the Jiangdong Army was formed, it has fought in the south and the north, and absorbed local soldiers from all sides. The Pingzhou Army, the Youzhou Army, the Jiaozhou Army, and the Jingzhou Army, although they are similar, but they each have their own establishments, which is not conducive to the overall situation of Lonely, as for the second point......"

Sun Quan paused. Some groaned.

"The second point, so-and-so said it for you!" Cheng Pu clenched his fists. The corners of his mouth outlined a sarcastic arc, and he said mockingly: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, now you have sat firmly on the throne of King Wu, so you want to wash away the brand of belonging to the previous king in the army, and the reform in the army does not matter what system it is." I'm afraid it's just those generals left behind by the first king and the marquis of Jiang! ”

"Uncle's careful thinking in his words, among the uncles who are righteous and righteous, you are really the smartest!"

Sun Quan spread his hands and did not deny what Cheng Pu said.

There are more or less reasons for reforming the military.

His father, Sun Jian, started from scratch. Single-handedly established the Jiangdong Army, and now the Wu Army is established on the basis of the Jiangdong Army.

There is also Sun Ce, in the past, he was too conniving, so that Sun Ce left an indelible mark in the Jiangdong Army, Sun Ce would be fine if he died, but now that he is alive, then he must use a little means to wash away Sun Ce's influence among the middle-level generals of the Wu Army.

"If you reform the military system, you can open and close your eyes, but if you connive at Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong, cut off the era of the first king, and the famous veterans left behind, you can't be invisible!" Cheng Pu's voice rang loudly: "You must give an explanation to someone about this matter!" ”

"Uncle, the generals who can be cut off by the two of them are either incompetent people, or they are people who are not subject to military regulations or eat empty salaries!"

Sun Quan's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Besides, in this matter, Lone did not treat them badly, let them leave the army, and if they should make up, Lone is the same!" ”

"Thou art ungrateful!"

Cheng Pu was furious, slapped the shore and got up, pointed at Sun Quan's nose, and scolded angrily: "You know that they are all people who followed the first king to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions for the state of Wu. ”

"Ungrateful? Uncle can think the same way! Sun Quan spread his hands.

"Zhongmou, can you take back your life?"

Cheng Pu looked at his expression, took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked.

"Can't!"

Sun Quan looked a little indifferent and answered him decisively.

"Why?" Cheng Pu was unwilling.

"Uncle, I'll show you something!"

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth curled slightly, and he handed a file to Cheng Pu's hand, with a faint self-deprecation on his expression: "After statistics before, the number of soldiers and horses in our Wu State is almost more than one million, and Lone has always been proud of it, but since the Battle of Northern Xinjiang started, Wu State's troops have been tight, and Lone has found that many of the original numbers are empty."

The formal establishment is not bad, but the local county soldiers, the soldiers are less than fifty percent of the establishment, so that Lone is not angry, Lone does not care about them, it is already in front of his father, and the military never raises useless people, so Lone has to lay them off. ”

"How so?"

Cheng Pu looked at the files compiled by the armies in various places for this record, and became more and more flustered, shocked, and made him feel a little chill in his heart.

It turned out that Wu Jun was already empty.

Today's Wu State is definitely sitting on the surface with the most soldiers and horses in the world, and he also thinks so, but it turns out that it is just a bluff.

"They are all veterans of the previous king!" Cheng Pu said sadly.

"People change!"

Sun Quan also let out a long sigh and said: "When the army was formed from Changsha, tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops were once loyal and righteous, and when my father established the Wu State, remembered the old feelings, and established the county soldiers, most of them were used, let them suppress one side, but the prosperity of the Wu State made them lost!" ”

"Zhongmou, you always have a reason to do things, but you can't be too anxious."

Cheng Pu gritted his teeth, looked at Sun, and still persuaded with some bitterness: "The affairs in the army must be cautious, and one is not careful." They are wrong, but after all, they represent the name of the first king! ”

"Uncle, since Lone has made a decision, he won't stop!"

Sun Quan's gaze was calm, and he looked at Cheng Pu. said lightly: "In the reform of the military, Lone will never waver, and anyone who stands in the way of Wu Guo's reform will not show mercy." ”

"Not even my uncle?" Cheng Pu's pupils constricted.

"Uncle, now you have two choices, either you oppose me, or you help me!" This is a very direct answer from Sun Quan.

"It has to be this way!"

When Cheng Pu heard this, his face was ugly.

None of this was what he wanted.

"Lone is not forcing his uncle, his uncle is in Lone's heart. will always be relatives, but the major affairs of the country, Lone is now the king, Lone says one, and no one is allowed to say two! ”

Sun Quan said very domineeringly, "Alone says that no one can stop the law!" ”

"Zhongmou, you're becoming more and more like your father!" Cheng Pu's eyes were lifelike. looked at Sun Quan's side face and sighed. Road.

"Huh!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he just smiled, Sun Jian's king is domineering, he is learning to figure it out, the king wants to rule the world benevolently, but he can't lose his authority.

Say yes. It is a condition that a good king must fulfill.

"How do you want to help you?"

This multiple-choice question is not difficult for Cheng Pu at all.

If you want to oppose Sun Quan, you can only ask the one from Taihu Lake to come back, but now Sun Quan has become a big trend. There is no such possibility at all, he can only choose to help Sun Quan and relieve Sun Quan's pressure, which can be regarded as a gesture of gratitude.

"Military Aircraft Division!"

Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and hurriedly said: "Pan Feng is now in Northern Xinjiang, and among the military, only the Taiwei can take the lead, and in this regard, the Taiwei Mansion can only plan!" ”

The general and the lieutenant, equivalent to the commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff, lead the military.

"How?" Cheng Pu squinted slightly and asked.

"The plan has been made, you just need to implement it according to the plan!"

Sun Quan asked Cao Yang to hand over a secret file to Cheng Pu, and then said: "Uncle, you remember, the most important thing is to choose people, the Minister of Military Aircraft is a dozen people, they will dominate the transfer of soldiers and horses of Wu State in the future, and any of them will affect the future of Wu State!" ”

"Got it!"

Cheng Pu looked at the file and nodded heavily.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After sending Cheng Pu to the palace, it was already sunset.

At this time, Sun Quan's spirit relaxed.

Getting Cheng Pu was a surprise for him.

This will open a big obstacle for military reform, as long as Lu Bu and Zhao Yun move faster in Jingzhou and quickly erect the example of Jingzhou Daying, it will be equivalent to half the success.

In Sun Quan's mind, reforming the military system is a must.

Nowadays, the Wu army is inheriting the military system left by the Han Dynasty, which is too backward, and the establishment is very bloated.

Captains and military captains are the most important general class in the military, but there is a big gap in the number of soldiers in different places, some military marquis have thousands of soldiers and horses, and some captains only have a few hundred soldiers.

The rest is even more messy.

Moreover, because all aspects are not sound enough, when fighting, the soldiers cannot exert their full combat effectiveness.

Of course, Sun Quan's citation of the modern military system may not be suitable for this era, after all, this is ancient times, and it is a feudal era when the people's wisdom has not been opened.

It's just that he thinks that since Wu Guo's road has taken a small step ahead, then he doesn't mind taking a big step and walking at the forefront of the times.

When Sun Quan made a decision, he did not deny that he was a little hot-headed.

Perhaps in his heart, he was too familiar with this kind of military system, so when he was thinking about reforming the military system of the Wu State, he first thought of this system.

With an idea, it was out of control.

If it is a reference to the times, this relatively complete military system that has gone through modern history and appeared in the state of Wu seems to be more or less nondescript.

It is also difficult to get the soldiers of all parties to accept it.

"Cao Yang, send a henchman to send a secret letter to Gu Mi to Jingzhou and hand it over to Zhao Yun!" Under the setting sun, Sun Quan lay on the bookcase in the imperial study, quickly wrote a letter, and then painted it up and handed it to Cao Yang.

The matter in Jingzhou was too happy, Cheng Pu was just the first to run out to oppose it, and there must be many people who voted against it.

This matter has to be resolved quickly.

"No!"

Cao Yang took the envelope and hurriedly walked down.

"Now that everything is in Shun, it depends on whether the battle in Northern Xinjiang can end in the shortest possible time."

Sun Quan pondered it carefully and muttered.

The sooner the war in Northern Xinjiang ends, the more beneficial it will be to the Great Wu reform he is now implementing, and the longer the war in Northern Xinjiang drags on, the more pressure will be on the Great Wu reform led by him. (To be continued......)
