vs 14 The beginning of a strong army

Lejin chewed on the wheat cake in his hand, but he was dismissive of the person who handed the wheat cake.

Due to the dryness of the food, Lejin has to take a sip of the leather water bag every time he takes a bite.

After Le Jin finished eating the wheat cake and smiled insolently, he asked:

"Or?"

Lejin didn't answer.

"You have a word, called Wen Qian?"

Le Jin was startled, looked up at Zhang Qiang, and the doubts in his eyes were prominent.

- How does this guy know my words? I've never told anyone about it, have I?

Zhang Dashen's stick secretly said that there was a door, and once again started his talent abduction plan.

"Don't be suspicious. You should be sent by the Emperor of Heaven to assist Ben Shuai and achieve the great cause of peace. ”

Le Jin sneered and said:

"Demon man, you're bewitching the public again! I'm not a three-year-old, I'm going to be fooled by your tricks! ”

Zhang Mad also sneered, and said-for-tat:

"Ignorant child! What kind of virtue can you have, and it is worth being coaxed by Ben Shuai himself? If it weren't for Er Ying Tianxing, Nanhua Lao Xian reminded me in time that your life would have been ruined in the hands of my Yellow Turban soldiers! ”

Le Jin blushed and shouted:

"Am I Lejin a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Take your life here! ”

He was arrogant, but suddenly he became calm again. This hand-changing kung fu is inexplicable only to see Lejin.

"Er's father is happy, he was originally the commander of the Han army, and seven years ago he fought against Xianbei with the 'Karasuma Captain' Xia Yu, and unfortunately returned defeated. He was demoted to the rank of soldier and died of illness two years ago. With his father's quota, he joined the Northern Army with a good family. Although he was outstanding in force, he was not liked by Yang Kong because of his humble background, so he was suppressed and only served as the commander of the army. ”

After hearing this, Le Jin sneered:

"You have time to spare, but you know what to do."

"However, no one knows your 'Wen Qian' word."

This is what makes Lejin a little confused. His "words" were left to him before his father died. According to the etiquette system, it can not be officially used until Lejin is twenty years old. Therefore, before this, no one in the army knew Lejin's "word".

However, this alone is not enough to shake the will of Lejin.

Since he couldn't answer, Lejin simply remained silent.

"Well, you're too boring to speak. Instead, let me tell you some folk anecdotes that have happened in the Central Plains over the years. ”

Insolent knows that Lejin has been in the army for generations, and his loyalty to the Han is by no means something that can be shaken all at once, and he is not in a hurry. Uncle Liu Huang can "look at the thatched house three times", and he will persuade him to surrender a few more times, but it doesn't hurt.

So, Zhang Madness picked up some miserable stories of homeless people, specially told Le Jin, and asked the two soldiers with quick tongues to publicize some of the ugly deeds of the Han family. Lejin is only seventeen years old now, and his thoughts are not stereotyped, and there is a lot of room for carving. As a "good general of the five sons" under Cao Wei, Lejin's worth is definitely worth this effort.

Next, Zhang Qi has to deal with a major matter, which is more troublesome than persuading Lejin to surrender. That is, how to properly deal with the defeated soldiers of the newly reorganized Yellow Turban Army.

The camp, which accommodated more than 2,000 people, was rather embarrassed by its lack of preparation. This place is too close to the Changshe, and at the end of the day, Zhang Madness has collected three or four hundred more guerrillas. For the defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army collected, Zhang Arrogant showed all his skills, both soft and hard, and successfully made most of the Yellow Turban Army turn to his command.

The only thing that makes Zhang Crazy a little regretful is that Guo Damu, who is quite credible, has always been unwilling to accept Zhang Mad's solicitation. In the end, he still took more than 100 Yellow Turban soldiers who did not want to stay, and went to find the whereabouts of "Bo Caishuai".

For these people, arrogance is not forced. The current harvest has made him satisfied. His situation at this time is a bit like a "snake swallowing an elephant", if he is too greedy, he is afraid that he will burst his stomach.

This place should not be stayed for long.

This is the common opinion of several important subordinates.

Probably because the fire of the Changsha was too ferocious, it actually burned the courage of those defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. At present, there is an atmosphere of panic in the camp. If it weren't for the silent shock of the dozens of Han army heads piled up at the gate of the camp, the mental state of these defeated soldiers would probably be even more unbearable.

This is the most common problem of the undertrained Yellow Turban Army:

-- You can't be defeated.

If it is a good fight, it is okay, once it fails, the Yellow Turban Army will be truly defeated. If Zhang Qi wants to truly integrate these defeated soldiers, he still needs to work hard.

Fortunately, in the hands of Zhang Mad, there is still a trump card that can reunite the hearts of the Yellow Turban soldiers. That is:

"Immortal Master Messenger".

There is no need to even be arrogant to order, the "old team" Yellow Turban wrestlers who followed him have automatically added fuel and vinegar to a series of miraculous deeds of the arrogant army, and publicized them among the defeated soldiers of the new Yellow Turban Army.

The organizational cohesion of the Yellow Turban Army originally relied heavily on the "myth" and "worship" of the leader. In addition, Zhou Cang, Dian Wei, He Laosi and other cadres are used as vivid examples to confirm these "miracles". The defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turbans became his fanatical followers at a speed that surprised even the insolence himself.

After resting on the spot for two days, the team was initially grouped, and by the way, scouts who were good at riding were sent to inquire about the battle situation of the long society, and Zhang was arrogant and had a rough plan for the future movements.

The original Yellow Turban Army, the formation of the army was very chaotic. Each commander organized his subordinates almost as he wanted. Some adopted the military system of the Han Dynasty, and some made up a new set on their own. Faced with the source of confusion among his subordinates, Zhang Qiang simply adopted the most understandable number grouping.

In the Zhang Mad Army, the smallest combat unit was the "ten-man team", with a "ten-man captain" and a "ten-man commander", a total of eleven people.

The four "ten-person teams" are one "50-person team", and there is one principal and one deputy "50-person captain".

The four "50-person teams" are a "100-person team", with one principal and one deputy "100-person leader", and each person can be equipped with two personal guards.

The four "100-man teams" are one "1,000-man team," with one principal and one deputy "1,000-person captain," and a 20-member "personal guard" for the purpose of heralding and guarding.

Due to the initial establishment of the team, he was not familiar enough with the heads and abilities of his subordinates, so he arrogantly and cautiously took the positions of two "thousand leaders". The rest, such as Zhou Cang, Dian Wei and others, only obtained the position of "100 people". In this way, on the one hand, it avoids the fact that some subordinates are too big to lose their tails and support their own troops, and on the other hand, it also leaves enough space for the promotion of subordinates.

Above the "thousand-man team", there is no permanent establishment.

Zhang Mad set up the posts of "school captain" and "capital captain" to govern the "thousand-man team". The "1,000-man team" under the jurisdiction of each "lieutenant" and "captain" is not fixed, and can be flexibly adjusted by insolence according to the needs of the operation. Moreover, in terms of the current number of arrogant subordinates, there is no need for a unit with more than a "thousand people".

Even if later, the arrogant army expanded, he did not intend to increase the number of personnel at the upper level. Based on the experience of later generations, this has a great advantage, that is, it can effectively suppress the possibility of large-scale rebellions in the future.

You must know that at the end of Cao Wei's period, there were many large-scale rebellions in several local army corps stationed far from the center. Coupled with the lessons of the division of feudal towns in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Qiang had to quietly leave a bottom in his heart.

After the compilation was confirmed, before Zhang Qi could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Cang immediately raised an important question.
