Chapter 77: Reorganizing the New Army
When Huang Ying and the others were satisfied with Chen Kefu's many gifts, Lu Shishen, Hu Hai and other generals all stood and saluted, "Congratulations to the general on his promotion to the position of general, congratulations to the general on his promotion to the founding candidate of Liaodong." ”
Li Jie strode up to Chen Kefu, saluted solemnly, and said with a loud smile, "My lord, as the chief general of my broken barracks, this is the glory of all the soldiers in my broken barracks, and we are all happy for the adults." ”
Chen Kefu felt a little sour when he heard that, but Chen Kefu didn't care.
"Pull it down, although this has been crowned as the general of Zuotunwei, but the soldiers under this command are not only our army in the barracks. As for the founding candidate of Liaodong, although there are a lot of real food seals for 500 households, don't forget that Liaodong City is still in the hands of the Goguryeo people. I'm going to dare to ask for it, and people won't give it. You have to think about how we will divide the four cities and the camp according to Your Majesty's will. Chen Kefu lazily threw the Tiger Talisman of General Zuotunwei in his hand.
Chen Kefu looked at the generals with some depression, "Let's talk about it first, how can our 10,000 people guard five places?" ”
According to the art of war, of course, the 10,000 people of them are not divided into the best, and only when they are combined together can these 10,000 people ensure their combat effectiveness. Divided into five places, they are easily broken by the enemy. After all, it is divided into five places, and there are only 2,000 people in one place, which is too few.
As soon as this was mentioned, everyone stopped talking, if it weren't for the meaning of this division of troops to the emperor's will, it is estimated that everyone would have scolded at this time. However, since it is the emperor's will, no one dares to say that the emperor is not.
After waiting for a while, no one spoke, and seeing that everyone didn't speak, Chen Kefu didn't react. Since they don't want to say it, they just wait until all the officers are here.
After not waiting for a while, all the officers above the deputy level of the team in the broken barracks arrived in the tent, and when everyone sat down, Chen Ke replied, "Since everyone is here, then everyone must also know that this time the army retreats, I will take on the task of breaking the barracks, and I will hold on to the army for more than half a month here."
"Wait, why did you leave me aside when all the officers in the army are on the agenda now? Could it be that Your Majesty has removed me from my post of Guilty Lang? ”
Chen Kefu was only halfway through his words, and the big tent was opened, and the old man Li Benlei still had strips of cloth wrapped around his head, but he walked in fully armed. Chen Kefu saw the old man come in, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the old man shook off his hand, "Although I am old, I am old and strong, and I have not even reached the point where I need someone to help me walk?" The general summoned all the generals to deliberate, why did he leave me alone? ”
Chen Kefu smiled and invited the old man to sit down on the left hand side of his position, "I just watched that the old man was injured before and needed to rest, so I didn't let anyone invite the old man to come." ”
At this time, the old man already knew that the broken military camp would be left here as the rear of the palace, so he walked in front of Chen Kefu and knelt down and said, "Today, at the end of the imperial camp, the general has nothing to stop, if it weren't for the general to intercede for the minister, the last general would be in a different place at this time." Now that the barracks are broken and left behind in the palace, it is also because of the last general but this dangerous task, all this is to blame on the last general, please punish the general. ”
Chen Kefu smiled lightly, "General Li, it is a military order for us to stay behind, so you don't have to talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with you." If you really want to talk about it, I can only say that I am the one who caused everyone to stay behind, because I have a discordant relationship with Pei Shiju and Pei Yun, and I will be left behind in the broken military camp. However, these things cannot be changed, and now there is not much time left before the third watch, and we have to discuss what to do next. ”
In response to this question, Li Jie said, "My lord, I don't know how you plan to do it?" "Anyway, Chen Kefu is the main general, he kicked the ball to Chen Kefu's feet again, no matter how it is arranged, it will be a difficult thing.
Chen Kefu said, "Now we have 400,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilians, as well as 10,000 cavalry in the broken barracks. Among these 400,000 people, many of them are craftsmen, horsemen, and soldiers, and the rest are all people who carry grain. It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 strong men. We have to defend five places, but we only have 10,000 elite soldiers. So I personally think that it is best not to divide the barracks too much, and if 10,000 people gather, they will become soldiers, and if they are scattered, they will be useless. Now there are fortified cities to defend in the four cities such as Xincheng, so I personally think that 2,000 light cavalry and 40,000 people will be sent to defend the four cities. Two thousand light horsemen south of Su three, each city stationed four hundred horsemen, the remaining eight hundred horsemen as a motor, taking care of the three cities. As soon as there is a police, help immediately. ”,
"The remaining 3,000 light cavalry and 5,000 heavy cavalry will all stay in the big camp, and another 50,000 people will be selected to step up training, and even the other auxiliary soldiers and civilians will not be slack, and all of them must be distributed weapons and armor."
Old Man Li Benlei nodded, "The general is right, Xincheng and other four cities have strong cities to defend, and they don't need too many troops." On the contrary, it is a large battalion, but it has to be guarded by strong soldiers. It's just that although His Majesty's army will not take away those military equipment, it is impossible to arm hundreds of thousands of people at once. Now the armor in the battalion can equip 100,000 people, even if it is good, as for weapons, it can be equipped with more, if each person only has one weapon, we can let everyone have weapons, but it is impossible to form combat power all of a sudden. If the Liao people know the truth of our waiting, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep it. ”
Of course, Chen Kefu knew that the best way was to retreat to all the four cities, but now they had to pretend to be an army here, and they couldn't retreat.
"Since there is only armor equipped with 100,000 people, I think that each of the four cities will receive 10,000 sets of armor, and the rest will be left for the big battalion. In addition, each person should have one weapon, and half of the bow and crossbow will be transferred to the four cities, and half will be left in the camp. The forces have been distributed, and now let's discuss the generals who will lead the troops. How do you think it should be distributed? ”
"My lord, I'm willing to go to the new town guard." As soon as Chen Kefu's words fell, Li Jie, the general of Zhechonglang, took the lead in asking for his life.
Chen Kefu smiled coldly, Xincheng is a big city second only to Liaodong City, and now all the people in the city have been escorted to the Central Plains after the last city was broken. Now it's an empty city. No matter who guards it, there are more than 10,000 people, and it will be a safer task in the mission left behind by the queen this time.
It is impossible for Chen Kefu to let him guard the new city, if Li Jie is allowed to guard the new city, if this kid takes care of himself and no one else, then he has no way at all. And Chen Kefu didn't want this guy to have the opportunity to lead the troops alone, he definitely didn't want to have a second boss in this broken barracks. Let Li Jie guard the new city, this kid is likely to take this opportunity to stand on his own, and then he will be able to form his own faction in the army.
Shaking his head, Chen Kefu said with a smile, "General Li is the deputy marshal of my broken barracks, and there is still a lot of need for you to be in charge of the army, how can I let you defend the new city alone." I don't think it's as good as this, Chen Qing, Liu Tiezhu, and Zhang He each led a battalion of 400 light cavalry and 10,000 people to defend the three cities of Nansu, Cangyan, and Mudi, and General Li Benlei led the second battalion of light cavalry with 800 people and 20,000 people to defend the new city. And support the other three cities at any time, and I will transfer Lu Shishen as General Li's deputy to sit in Xincheng together. ”
"As for Li Jie and other generals sitting in the base camp with me, all the people are trained in a group of 10 people, a team of 50 people, a brigade of 100 people, a regiment of 200 people, and a battalion of 400 people. I broke the barracks with 200 squad members and 200 team deputies. I ordered that all the lieutenants of the detachment be drawn from the army and incorporated into the ranks of the people, and each detachment should lead a battalion of 200 men. There are 1,000 gang commanders in our army, and now another 400 gang commanders are being transferred to the Minzhuang, and each gang leader leads a regiment of 200 people. The position of deputy commander of the team vacant in the barracks shall be temporarily appointed by capable personnel from the army. ”
There is no way to transfer 600 grassroots officers from the army to the people's strongest. Although this people are a lot stronger, if there is no professional person to command, it is estimated that even the role of the first layer will not be able to play at that time. Now all of a sudden, with those gang leaders in charge of ten people and team deputies in charge of forty or fifty people, they are in charge of two hundred or four hundred people, although it feels a bit child's play, but there is no way. Anyway, these captains are also professional elite soldiers.
Li Jie sat on the side, although he still had a smile on his face, but he was already angry in his heart. Chen Kefu said that he was the deputy commander in the army, and let him be in the middle of the command. However, he transferred the second-in-command in the army to Xincheng, isn't this talking nonsense with his mouth open. But even if he knew what Chen Kefu meant, it was not easy to say. This broken military camp Chen Kefu is the commander, what he said is the military order, and he has no way to doubt it.
In the past, Chen Kefu and he were both generals of Zhichong, but now Chen Kefu is holding the tiger talisman of the general of Zuotunwei, and he has no way. Now he can't help but regret a little that he came to break the barracks, although he is a general of the Folding Chong Lang, but he is not as good as a general of the five grades of the Xiongwu Lang, a general of the five grades of the heroes can still lead a battalion of 400 people, he is a third-in-command in the army, but he can only be a bare general. If it weren't for the fact that his subordinates brought seven generals this time and received the seven battalions of people, he really wanted to pat his ass and leave.
Especially so, he also realized that this Nanchen royal family, who grew up in a remote and small place, is really not simple. When he first came, he thought that he could easily take over the broken military camp, but he didn't expect that now there is no way.
Regarding Chen Kefu's arrangement, Li Benlei had some opinions, "General, it is a little inappropriate to unify the regiment and the first battalion with a group of leaders and team deputies." If it is appropriate to let the captain unify the team members and let the captain unify the travelers, I am afraid it is not appropriate to skip a few levels at once now. ”
