Chapter 272: Integration (II)

"Lord ......"

Gongsun Pei, who had been planning in his heart for a long time, smiled slightly, and suggested: "Isn't it good that you broke the tradition and established a new military system?" It is only necessary to subdivide the army into two arms, the army and the navy, and put them all under the name of the largest and noblest Han army, and reorganize them according to the existing division and brigade sequences. ”

"For example, the naval army under your command has been expanded nearly tenfold, according to your original defense area, you only need to put a 'big Han naval army' in front of such and such a naval division and such and such a fleet...... As for how the Army should make adjustments, I don't need to talk more, right? ”

"But...... There is a difficulty in this, that is, it is difficult to arrange people with deep qualifications and high hard work like my Brother Shoushan and Brother Ji Wei! ”

Liu Cun shook his head and sighed, always feeling that he owed a lot of debt to Wang Qi, Ji Wei and Geng Wu who were loyal but had a limited pattern, and he really didn't know how to settle them.

Gongsun Pei was very dissatisfied with Liu Cun's emotional hesitation, propped himself up again, and solemnly admonished: "During the implementation of Qingzhou's new policy, don't you always say that the capable go up and the mediocre go down? Why are you confused and hesitant when it comes to the people who have deep feelings around you? ”

"Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things must be resolute, tenacious, and resolute, and must not be dominated by feelings...... If you want to go further, you have to endure the pain and make wise decisions that are beneficial to the overall situation, otherwise...... It is likely that the root cause will be planted because of hesitation and stumbling! ”

Liu Cun suddenly came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and nodded heavily: "Okay!" Since this is the case, let Brother Shoushan take over Ji Wei's position. Serve as the head of the Martial Arts Academy...... Brother Ji Wei was transferred to Qingzhou Sima. Together with General Geng Wu's Jizhou Sima. He is responsible for the local defense and the recruitment and training of soldiers in the two states, and no longer participates in the specific operational command of the army. ”

"In this way, all units of the army can also avoid many unnecessary troubles, and only need strict training and brave fighting."

Gongsun Pei nodded with satisfaction and asked the most critical and urgent question: "The current top priority is to reorganize the army under your command, how do you plan to deal with it?" ”

Liu Cun pondered for a moment and truthfully said his thoughts: "It's not difficult, rename the 1st to 7th Divisions of the Qingzhou Army the 1st to 7th Divisions of the Han Army." The 1st to 5th Divisions of the Langya Army were renamed the 8th to 12th Divisions of the Han Army, and then all the light cavalry were evenly distributed to the above divisions, and the total number of officers and men in each division was adjusted to 15,000. ”

"As for the 5,000 heavy cavalry that came to Luoyang and the 5,000 heavy cavalry who stayed in Langya to continue training, they were all included in the sequence of my personal guard battalion, and on this basis, the first guard division and the second guard division were established, and Yan Shen and Zhao Yun were appointed as the commanders of the two guard divisions, which were personally trained and controlled by me."

"Excellent! Very good! It is already very thoughtful, but it is necessary to increase the number of officers and men of two Guards Divisions, preferably to 20,000 soldiers per division. Then, according to your previous plan, assign each guard division a standing baggage battalion composed of 5,000 skilled craftsmen. That's perfect! ”

"In this way, the combat power of the two guards divisions is completely comparable to that of double ordinary army divisions, which can not only play a deterrent role, but also be transferred to the battlefield in key battles and play a decisive role."

Gongsun Pei approved of Liu Cun's plan and was deeply satisfied, he always believed in his heart that Liu Cun, as the lord, must have absolute power and strong troops under his command, not only for all enemies, but also for the generals under Liu Cun's wings who were gradually full-fledged.

Thanks to more than two years of continuous huge investment, with Luoyang as the center of the radius of 300 miles, the people's livelihood has been restored, the construction of a new Luoyang old capital, and gradually return to the prosperity and tranquility of the past, although the total population and the scale of large buildings, is still not as grand as before the burning, but everywhere revealed orderly and vigorous, but has never been seen for many years.

Almost all the palaces and yamen in the city have been built, except for the Luoyang Lingfu and the two military camps located in the east and west city gates, the rest of the palaces, including the entire restored imperial palace, have not yet been stationed.

The tens of thousands of troops from Xuzhou, like their commander Liu Cun, were stationed in the two large camps in the eastern and western suburbs, not only did not bring any panic and chaos to the 400,000 people of Luoyang, but made the people of Luoyang feel at ease and steady.

With only five days to go before the New Year, more than 150 civil and military officials, including the main officials of Qingzhou and Jizhou, finally gathered in Luoyang West Camp to participate in a three-day important meeting.

At the time of the Luoyang Army Consolidation Conference presided over by Liu Cun and the summary meeting of the development strategy of Qingdao and Hebei Prefectures, Shouzhang rushed to Pengcheng to pounce, and then Xun You and Cheng Yu, who chased Liu Cun's footsteps and turned around in Luoyang, returned to the anxious Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked Xun You and Cheng Yu to inform everyone of the secret meeting with Liu Cun and Gongsun Pei in Luoyang, and then said loudly to the worried confidants and civil warriors:

"I guess you can all see the great crisis from General Liu Zijian's ambiguous attitude, and you are all as apprehensive and uneasy as me...... Not to mention that Liu Zijian led tens of thousands of troops across my Yanzhou without saying hello before, just claiming that the big event of launching a 100,000-strong army to conquer Chang'an and save the young emperor and the court officials can see Liu Zijian's huge ambition to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes! ”

"But despite this, we don't have a way to deal with it at all, if we don't get it, we will be attacked from three sides by hundreds of thousands of troops under Liu Zijian's command, it can be said that since Liu Zijian eliminated Lu Bu's army and assisted the Mi family to occupy Pengcheng, my Yanzhou has been surrounded by his hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is in danger!"

All the civil and military forces echoed it, and they were nervous for a while.

The indignant Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and other fierce generals simply put forward a proposal to preemptively attack Xuzhou, which attracted a burst of exclamation and strong opposition from the strategists.

Seeing that the controversy between the civil and military factions was gradually moving towards a sharp confrontation, and if it was not stopped, it was likely to lead to the long-standing and accumulating contradictions between the two factions, Guo Jia, who was young but had a high prestige, had no choice but to step forward, loudly begged everyone to be quiet, and then turned to Cao Cao and saluted respectfully:

"My lord, in fact, the situation has not yet reached the point where it is out of control, at least before the arrival of spring, Liu Zijian will not attack my Yanzhou, we can discuss the countermeasures calmly."

Cao Cao was so smart that he immediately scolded the full hall of civil and military, and then asked Guo Jia to continue to state. (To be continued......)
