Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Begins Chapter 170 Cavalry
Bringing these several people together, the matter discussed will naturally not be a trivial matter, and Jiese is just considering whether to add another cavalry company on the basis of the three companies.
Of course, the cavalry's strength is known, but whether it is necessary to increase it now is something that needs to be considered for him, because it is directly related to the amount of money spent.
If you want to add a cavalry company, then horses are a big expense in the first place, and the number of people in a company is counted as a hundred, then you need a hundred horses, and the source of horses is also a problem.
Jiese said slowly: "Everyone, do you say that this cavalry company is necessary, everyone will talk about their thoughts. ”
Gongsun Sheng said: "Brother, if you want to build a cavalry company, it is a lot of expenses, and Erlong Mountain is full of small hills, I think the horses are really useless." ”
Li Kui said: "I also don't think it's necessary, the cavalry has a need, I can cut them down with an axe, it's better to take the money to buy more food and weapons." ”
Zou Run said: "Brother, I think it's okay to build a cavalry company, if we had cavalry last time, we wouldn't lose so badly, there are few brothers who escaped, and it was really a big loss." ”
Hua Qiu is a carpenter, and he didn't express an opinion on this, just sat quietly, listening to everyone's discussions, when there was a knock on the door outside, and then Sun Erniang's voice came in, "What are you guys talking about inside, don't you call Lao Niang?" ”
Jiese motioned for Hua Qiu to open the door, but saw that Sister-in-law Gu was still standing behind Erniang, and the two flashed in with a hula and covered them casually.
The two of them sat on the edge of the bed with a big grin, and Erniang said: "What are you guys discussing secretly here, the door is closed so tightly, are you talking bad about me here?" ”
Jiese rolled her eyes, it was rare for Erniang to make a joke, indicating that she was in a good mood, and said: "Come on, how can we have the leisure to say bad things about you, this kind of thing is only done by you women, we disdain it." ”
Seeing Erniang's glare, Hua Qiu hurriedly explained: "My brother is here to discuss with them whether it is necessary to build a cavalry company, the big guys don't agree with each other, and my brother doesn't know what to do." ”
Hearing this, Erniang slapped her thigh and said, "It's good to build a cavalry company, I raise my hands in agreement, I will be the commander of this company to ensure that the best cavalry will be trained." ”
Erniang's riding skills are very good, of course she was very excited to hear this news, and the last battle of Dalongshan is still vivid, the other party dispatched a lot of cavalry, but the combat ability of the other party's cavalry is not high, otherwise there will be fewer people who escape.
Sister-in-law Gu has never been on the battlefield, and she doesn't have a deep understanding of the cavalry company, and she can't express any opinions at the moment, just like Hua Qiu, she listens quietly.
Gongsun Sheng said: "Brother, if you really want to build this cavalry company, I think you can not use so many people first, try with fifty people first, and when our conditions are better, we can increase it appropriately." ”
The number of people is halved, and the horses are also halved, so the cost is a lot less, and it just doesn't have to recruit any more people, but it saves a lot of work.
Jiese nodded and said: "What Xiao Sheng said is okay, so let's do it, this cavalry company will be equipped with fifty people, as for who will be the commander of this company, you can talk about it and see who is the most suitable." ”
Of course, the cavalry company commander has to be good at riding, otherwise where is he qualified to be the company commander, the one with good riding skills is second to none Erniang, and secondly, Zou Run's equestrian skills are not bad, as for the others, there is no comparison with these two people.
Gongsun Sheng said: "I think Erniang is suitable, and Erniang herself is also very willing, it is better to let Erniang serve as this company commander, but she already has a company commander, and it is not good to serve as another one, and the energy is not necessarily enough." ”
Erniang said: "The elder of this cavalry company should be decided, and I voluntarily give up the identity of the other company commander, as long as the identity of the commander of this cavalry company." ”
Zou Run said: "I think Erniang is okay, it's better to let Erniang serve as the commander of this cavalry company, if someone else comes to be the commander of this company, there is really no suitable one." ”
Hua Qiuhu said: "Brother, I have a suitable candidate, but that person will definitely not join us, it's a pity, if she is willing to join, it is really the most suitable person." ”
Quan Se said: "Who, you say quickly, I want to see what kind of capable person it is?" ”
Erniang also echoed: "Say it quickly, the old lady wants to see, whose equestrian skills can be so worthy of your praise?" ”
Everyone else also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear who this person Hua Qiu was talking about, and he could actually praise him so much, even if such a person can't be friends, then he must get to know him.
Hua Qiu said slowly: "Speaking of this person, everyone knows the big guys, and they have met just now, it is Hu Sanniang who was locked up, her equestrian skills must be no problem to be the commander of this company, right?" ”
When it comes to Hu Sanniang, Jiese remembered that she came to Erlong Mountain alone, so many people are not her opponents, sitting on the horse with a whip dancing impenetrable, and the end is so powerful.
Erniang is also silent, mentioning Hu Sanniang's riding skills, although she has not seen it, but just listening to others, it is also very powerful, although she is not very convinced on the surface, but she still admires it in her heart.
After all, he has studied under a famous family since he was a child, which is incomparable to a person from a poor background like Sun Erniang. It's just that Hu Sanniang is still a prisoner now, and she is in a hostile state, and it is estimated that it is impossible to use her.
Jiese paused for a long time, and then said: "Hu Sanniang doesn't have to think about it, even if her riding skills are good, it has nothing to do with us, let Erniang serve as the company commander, and her other company commander responsibilities will be taken by Sister-in-law Gu, as for the candidate for the company staff officer, Xiao Sheng will temporarily take over." ”
Gongsun Sheng happily accepted the order, and Sister-in-law Gu didn't have any opinions, but she became a company commander when she first came here, and she was really a little overwhelmed by an inexperienced person like her.
Jiese continued: "Tie Niu, what you lead is the first company, Xiao Zou, what you lead is the second company, sister-in-law Gu, what you lead is the third company, and the one led by the second mother is called the pro-soldier company. ”
Erniang said: "Why is the one I led called the personal soldier company, shouldn't it be the cavalry company, or the fourth company?" ”
Jiese said helplessly: "Why, you're not happy to change your name to a slightly better one, you have to call it so popular to your liking?" ”
Erniang thought for a while and said: "The pro-soldier company is the pro-soldier company, just a name, the old lady doesn't care." ”
Jiese said: "Okay, the matter will be discussed here, Erniang, tomorrow you will go to the brothers to select the fifty strongest of the brethren to be incorporated into the cavalry battalion, as for the rest, let them divide the three companies equally, in the future, you will each take care of your own people, I will have a regular big competition, which company is well trained, then there will be more rewards, otherwise, that is the punishment." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and it could be seen from their eyes that Li Kui and Zou Run were full of confidence, but Sister-in-law Gu was a little anxious.
After discussing the matter, he ordered the big guy to go back to the room to rest, while Jiese continued to think about how to take back Erlong Mountain, it seems that it is impossible to attack hard, with such a few people under his hands now, it is really not advantageous to fight, or I have to think about a strategy, how can I take Erlong Mountain without much effort.
There is nothing to say all night, but the night in this winter is a little cold, and the quilt is a little thin, compared to most people in this world, such living conditions are good, you can have some cover, some wear, some eat, you don't have to worry about anything, as for sleeping a little cold at night, this is not a thing at all.
The nights in winter are very long, and the dawn is much later, and after such a long time, I finally got a good night's sleep, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.
Sun Erniang, who had been excited all night, was already working on selecting people, and as for the horses, Gongsun Sheng and Gu Sister-in-law went out to buy them with Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, these four are all unfamiliar faces and will not arouse the suspicion of others.
And the four of them also acted separately, one person bought two or three horses to ensure that no one doubted, as for the quality of the horses, it can only depend on luck.
In the morning, the three companies finally distributed the people equally, and the best personnel were concentrated in Erniang's company, and she had been with the brothers for so long, and she still knew which people were capable and had good physique, so it didn't take much trouble to choose.
And the four of them bought horses and came back quickly, and the four of them bought more than a dozen horses together, plus the horses that Jiese and others rode back, there were as many as twenty.
As for the rest of the horses, they were ordered to buy them separately, all for the sake of safety. It is said that the new official took office with three fires, and the two sister-in-law Gu and Gongsun had just come back and went straight to their own team, if they wanted to manage their subordinates well, they first had to establish their prestige, and the best way to establish prestige was to use their fists.
Gongsun Sheng is well-informed, and his brain turns quickly, Sister-in-law Gu asks him for advice on everything, and the cooperation between the two is quite tacit.
And Erniang directly trained the team on the first day, and the team of fifty people is not much in Erniang's opinion, and the brothers admire Erniang very much, and the management is very smooth.
Li Kui and Zou Run are nothing, and the two are not in a hurry, there is no brother here who does not admire the two, or rather, there is no one who is not afraid of the two, and it is even more troublesome to manage.
And Jiese himself took advantage of this time to practice boxing, and found two random among the many brothers to spar, but he also practiced well, at least he would not panic when he fought, and he could deal with it calmly.
In the evening, Jiese gathered everyone together again to discuss how to recapture Erlong Mountain, he couldn't think of any good way for the time being, he could only pin his hopes on everyone, maybe he could have a good suggestion, or inspire a good inspiration.
