It was decided that Guan Cheng led Guo Ren and half of the Yellow River naval army to Nanyang, but the naval army was still seriously insufficient, and he heard Guan Cheng elaborate on the water war: "The method of water warfare, the first heavy bow and arrow crossbow is shot from a distance, and the second is to fight on the side, so the archers, sword and shield soldiers, and the captain need to be in harmony with each other." The sergeants carried fire wool and grease and fired rockets to attack the enemy, and the boat was always equipped with tung oil and lime to prevent fire and water leakage. ”

Jia Xu said: "The navy also needs bows, swords and shields, and then the needs of the infantry army, so as to make up for the new soldiers under the rule of the next year, the number is not enough." Now Yuan Shao wants to take Cao Cao, Pang Zhen does not dare to commit it, there is Hanoi Rock military defense and hope is enough, if it has to take and merge the state in the future, it should also be like the new cavalry of the Xiliang Group to defend the territory, why not prepare early? The archers, swords and shields under the jurisdiction of the armed guards may be split up and added to the water army and the new infantry army! How about changing the military guard to a cavalry army, and then rushing into the pawn after the spring election? ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the two armies of Panshi and Wuwei, because of the lack of war horses and the fact that they only defended the soil, they were all foot soldiers. In this year's war, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang, and the chaotic army, Deng Ji captured a lot, and the Xianbei Wuhuan prisoner exchange horses that are very likely to be in hand soon are very abundant.

In the strategic concept of Sizhou and Xu Shu, the second army on the north bank of the Yellow River defended the soil, the rock defended Jizhou, and the military defense merged with the state. In the future, if it can be merged, Wuwei will move to the north to garrison and merge the state, and when it comes, it is necessary to deter the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and it is of course necessary to change to cavalry.

Wuwei general Zang Ba is also a fierce general, it is a pity to use it to defend the territory, Che Huang is also of great use, Deng Ji and other Xinbu army generals who were initially discussed were considered in Zang Ba and Xu Sheng, and in the end, although Xu Sheng was decided, Zang Ba would be transferred out of Wuwei sooner or later.

As soon as Jia Xu said this, Deng Ji, Tian Feng, and Xu Shu thought about it for a while, and they all nodded in agreement.

Tian Feng said: "It is also time to recruit craftsmen to make big horses." In case it is used by the Japanese army. ”

After the navy is decided. Only then did he summon Yan Xing and recruit into the house. Deng Ji encouraged: "I don't expect Liangzhou to suffer from this chaos again, the army and the people have lost everything, but fortunately, the two of them have saved the situation!" The two robes can be embroidered in front of the day, Yan Yanming rewarded 100 acres of Xuntian, and led the son to reward 50 acres of Xuntian! ”

After Yan Xing, humble, and thanks, Deng Ji said again: "I want to set up a new Pingliang Army in the land of Liangzhou, similar to a rock, guarding the land with martial guards, and entrusting it to the second general." How is it? ”

The generals under Deng Ji have no official positions and miscellaneous names, and the identities of the generals are only sorted according to the army's field battles and territorial defenses. The name of the Liangzhou new group defending the land cavalry, Tian Feng and Xu Shu proposed to break the Qiang and Fu Rong before, but after Han Sui surrendered, many Qiang were under their own rule, and now they are appeased by Huairou, and finally named this Pingliang Army, which is not too exciting.

made great contributions in the rebellion of Han Sui and Ma Chao, and it was expected that he was promoted, and he had no opinion on the recruitment, but Yan Xing was brave and brave. Hearing that he was going to be sent to defend the land again, he was a little unhappy, and Deng Ji explained to the two again: "There are many xenophobic people in Liang. Fortunately, Yan Ming is a person from Liangzhou, and he can lead his army to settle down! The new group of Pingliang Army, with Yan Yanming as the general, and the son of the army will be assisted, and within two or three years, Yan Ming will be transferred to another position, and the son will be appointed as the general of Pingliang! ”

This is all overjoyed, Yan Xing, and hurriedly salute: "Dare not to die!" ”

Tian Feng warned the two of them on the side: "Although Liangzhou is temporarily peaceful, but Qiang's heart is not attached, and Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places are not governed, so they cannot be called safe!" Now the Kanto is uneven, need to urgently adjust the tiger teeth, Xiao cavalry to Henan to watch the battle standby, the Pingliang army needs to be created within a month, return to the Liang for Taishi Ziyi, Zhao Zilong, with the new army to guard the land of a state, Sizhou is only the first line, the second public responsibility is heavy, must be cautious! ”

Yan Xing, pulling the move: "No! A certain class will live up to the trust of the general and the military advisor! ”

With the great merit of sticking to the crisis, Yan Xing took the opportunity to say a few good words for Han Sui before withdrawing, and Deng Ji agreed.

After the second general, the people who were summoned the next day were Han Sui and Cheng Gongying.

Although Han Sui is also one of the culprits of this Xiliang Rebellion, he is far less hateful than Ma Chao, he is very prestigious in Qiang, and if he wants to truly integrate Qiangqi into his rule, he will use his name to get twice the result with half the effort, and it is necessary to appease, in fact, there is no need for Yan Xing to intercede in many things.

Han Sui has not yet entered the General's Mansion, Deng Ji and the others have already greeted the door first, Deng Ji saluted, and said: "Gong is a hero of Liangzhou, his reputation is spread all over the world, and Ji Yimu has been admired for a long time!" ”

Seeing that Deng Ji did not look brutal and was willing to go out to greet him, Han Sui was a little relieved, and hurriedly apologized: "It is a great fortune to be pardoned for death, how dare you be a general!" ”

Deng Ji smiled and led everyone into the house hand in hand.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Deng Ji said kindly: "The public does not need to be humble!" It's just that Han Gong is old, and it is ominous to be accompanied by swords and soldiers, so it is better to stay in Luoyang with Shoucheng Gong to raise his children and grandchildren, how about it? ”

His life is in the hands of others, how can he disagree at this time, Han Sui knelt down: "It's all up to the general!" ”

Deng Jifang said to Cheng Gongying: "I intend to withdraw Xiping County and merge it into Jincheng, but it is too defensible to be a vicarcity, so can I be a vicaror?" ”

The compound surname of Cheng Gong is very rare, and according to legend, after the Cheng Gong of the Spring and Autumn Period, there are still a few people with the surname Cheng Gong in Beijing in later generations.

Han Sui had to live in Luoyang, but his own family could be appointed as the newly acquired Jincheng Taishou, Cheng Gongying knew that the other party was trying to appease Xiliang and surrender the people, and he was only grateful: "I just ask the general to treat Han Gong well, and dare not die!" ”

"Kindness and righteousness are heavy, and I am not Ma Mengqi's affectionate person!" Deng Ji nodded: "Once Han Gong has surrendered, Sizhou will not do harm!" However, I should also know that I act in a very different way from the world, the original official was only awarded to the county order, and then the reward was awarded for outstanding political achievements, and this position was a special case, and it was the reason for Anliang Prefecture. ”

Cheng Gongying is a native of Jincheng County, and he has been in his place for a long time, and he is well-known, although he is not worthy of Deng Ji's complete trust, it is excellent to appease the big clans left in Jincheng County, so Deng Ji first warned him carefully.

Jincheng County, which merged Xiping County, is enough to erect the banner of Cheng Gongying, and the county orders, officials, and errands of the following counties are all carefully selected by Sizhou and sent over, and not a single local will use it, but I am not afraid that Cheng Gongying will regenerate his dissent.

After the appeasement and admonition were completed, the two of them came out, and a clerk led Han Sui to see the several houses that Deng Ji gave to his family, and Cheng Gongying was led to get the seal ribbon and books, and then returned to his hometown to take office one day - only if he was a stable official, Han Sui could really spend his old age in Luoyang.

After that, General Wei's Mansion summoned Han Sui's old enemy Ma Teng.

Compared with what Deng Ji had seen before, Ma Teng seemed to have suddenly aged ten years old, but his role was similar to that of Han Sui, spending some money and food to raise Xiliang was much more stable, and borrowing his name Pinker Ma Chao was also meritorious, and Deng Ji was indispensable for comfort.

Ma Teng's old tears were rampant: "Ma's son is out of this evil, and the general still has to give up, Teng admires Wunei!" Only the old and useless body is free, and there is no shame to do any more duties, and it is enough to have a piece of land! The second son of Uncle Zhong under his knees is not weak, and he is not able to be driven by the general, but the son of the deceased brother, Dai You, learns martial arts, is good at riding and shooting, knows the art of war, or can serve one or two to atone for the sins of the Ma clan! I hope the general will take pity on this situation and take him into the army! ”

Ma Teng didn't want to see the Ma clan sink because of Ma Chao, so he wanted to launch his nephew Ma Dailai. Deng Ji remembered that Wei Yan, who killed the rebellion in this person's romance, seemed to appear often in Shu in the later period, and he should be a good general, and he could use it to calm the heart of the Ma clan, and he agreed to it in one bite.

After Ma Teng, he summoned Pang De and Yang Qiu again.

For these two who surrendered and rebelled, and then surrendered after the rebellion, although there were extenuating circumstances for them to participate in the rebellion, and there were meritorious atonements afterwards, Deng Ji's face was still much more serious, and after Tian Feng reprimanded, Xiaoming, and comforted a large number of words, he said: "The left army division is protective, and the two have not forgotten their virtues, so they will let it go, and wait for the after-effects of staying in the army!" ”

In this way, General Wei's palace summoned many civil and military officers in late autumn, and finally introduced a new military system before the winter came.

Xu Sheng, Hao Zhao, and Duan Xuan were all transferred out of the Xiao Cavalry Army, Xu Sheng was reappointed as General Hengye, and the newly formed Infantry Army Hengye Army was formed, under which Hao Zhao was appointed Captain Guoyi, Wei Yan was appointed Captain of Long Halberd, Li Lei was appointed Captain of Sword and Shield, and Shi Zheng, an old thief under the command of the original Bitter, was appointed Captain of Shooting.

Duan Xuan went to Wuguan to replace Yin Feng, who died in battle, as a partial general.

Yan Xing served as the general of Pingliang, formed the Pingliang Army, and recruited his deputies.

The Wuwei Army was divided into two, the bow pawn, the sword and shield pawn were divided into the Hengye Army and the Nanyang Water Army, and a large number of soldiers with household registration in Hedong changed their household registration again, not to mention, Zang Ba once again temporarily became a light pole general, waiting for the reorganization of the Wuwei Cavalry Army after the beginning of spring.

None of the qualifications and merits of the management can serve as a general, and the formation of the naval army is not something that can be achieved overnight, there is a great shortage of generals, and the soldiers are waiting to be trained, so only the name of the naval army is tentatively designated, which is the Hengjiang Army.

In addition, Pang De joined the Dangkou Army to replace Che Huang as the captain of Guoyi, Wu Pu was reappointed as the captain of the Xiao Cavalry Guoyi, Ma Dai entered the Xiao Cavalry to replace Wu Pu as the captain of the halberd cavalry, Xie Yun entered the Xiao Cavalry to replace Hao Zhao as the captain of the Halberd Cavalry, and Yang Qiu entered the Xiao Cavalry to replace Duan Xuan as the captain of the Shooting Voice.

Then, in order to meet the needs of the future war, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Che Huang were appointed as governors, but they only had military power and no administrative power or financial power.

Tai Shici was the governor of the eastern capital and the general of Huya, and he was under the jurisdiction of the Huya Army.

Xu Huang was famous in the Xiongnu, and was the governor of the northern capital and the general of the Dangkou, under the jurisdiction of the Dangkou army and the armed guards.

Zhang Liao was the governor of the southern capital and the general of Weilie, and he was under the jurisdiction of the Weilie Army and the Hengjiang Army of the Naval Division.

Zhao Yun is the governor of the western capital and the general of the Xiao cavalry, and has the Xiao cavalry army and the Hengye army under his jurisdiction.

Che Huang is the governor of the central protector, under the jurisdiction of the Panshi Army, Pingliang Army, Guo Yuan, Duan Xuan, Gu Sheng, Wu Ning four generals, although the power is heavy, but there are only 1,000 troops directly under the jurisdiction of the Protector Army.

After that, Zhang Liao led the Weilie army to settle in Nanyang, and Guan Cheng also changed to Wancheng, where he first purchased fishing boats, ferries, and merchant ships in Shuishui, so that the newly assigned soldiers began to be familiar with water warfare.

Deng Ji also sent another person to serve as the Chang'an Order, adjusted the temperature to the Luoyang Order, and moved Han Song to Nanyang Taishou.

At the turn of autumn and winter, Sizhou's ambitious changes were enough to make the surrounding strong neighbors vigilant, but it didn't take long for everyone to find out that although Deng Ji had many new military numbers, most of them were still only in name, except for the Rock Army and the four generals, there was no full army, and most of them were only half.
