After listening to Xu Rong's account of what happened, Dong Shouye said to Xu Rong: "General Xu, this time there are soldiers who surrender without a fight, and they have won the essence of the art of war!" ”

Xu Rong rushed in and said modestly: "The son has won the award, this is a matter within the general's share." ”

Dong Shouye asked again: "General Xu, I don't know how many people are still in Luoyang?" ”

Xu Rong replied: "Originally, there should have been about 7,000 people under Zhu Jun's command, of which the prime minister allocated 5,000 to him, and Zhu Jun's own troops had 2,000 people. And 1,000 of the 2,000 people under Zhu Jun's command are his henchmen who follow him all the year round, and the remaining 1,000 are some of the ministers who are friendly with him when he took office as Yin of Henan, as well as some families and clans, who funded his 1,000 men. In the near future, he will confront Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun lost a lot of his heart and abdomen, and there were only more than 500 people left, and now almost all of them have disappeared, and it is estimated that they have absconded in batches. Now it is estimated that there are still 6,000 people in Luoyang City. ”

When Dong Shouye heard this, he was also a lot of people, so he said: "If this son wants to co-opt these people now, is this matter feasible?" Xu Rong thought for a while and replied: "There should be no problem, when the prime minister allocated men and horses to Zhu Jun, he allocated a school of Xiliang Army, and transferred some from the original Luoyang garrison to form a school of men and horses, totaling 5,000 people. Naturally, the Xiliang Army does not need to say much, and there is no problem with the reorganization. And part of the Luoyang garrison came from the previous Zhijinwu and Chengmen captains. There are 400 cavalry (cavalry) and 600 halberds (foot soldiers) under the command of Zhijinwu, but most of the cavalry are composed of children of rich families, and the halberds are all from poor families. Later, when Luoyang City was in turmoil, these additional children ran out, leaving only a few dozen people and some horses, but the halberds were basically there, with a total of more than 600 people. The same is true of the city gate garrison under the command of the captain of the city gate, and he also escaped a lot during the Luoyang Rebellion, and there were originally 3,600 people (the captain of the city gate is responsible for the guard of the Luoyang city gate, and the general leader of the twelve city gates of Luoyang is Sima, and each of the twelve city gates has a city gate Sima and a city gate waiting, guarding the city gate and leading 300 soldiers), there are more than 3,000 people left after the Luoyang Rebellion, and more than 1,900 people have been transferred from it. As for some of the private soldiers given by the Gongqing clan, they are now just some ownerless soldiers, and it is very easy to absorb. Childe, the above is all the composition of the soldiers and horses under Zhu Jun's command, please decide. ”

In fact, Dong Shouye knew about the part of the Luoyang garrison, and his cheap son Dong Zhuo transferred it out, and then arranged for the Xiliang Army under his command to take over his position, so that he could better control Luoyang and the little emperor. Although everyone knows this, it is not easy to find out.

After Dong Shouye heard this, he said: "General Xu, this part of the people, you reorganize it first, and now there are no suitable people under this son." General Xu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he should be familiar with this matter, and this matter will be tired again. ”

Xu Rong clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general will definitely not live up to the trust of the son and handle this matter well." ”

Generally speaking, there are no more than two ways to integrate troops in a structured manner:

One is that all the affiliations are disbanded and the group starts over. This method is simple, rough, worry-free, and it takes very little time, after the incorporation, it can also make those soldiers who have been reorganized have a certain combat effectiveness, although it is not 100% combat power, but it can also play a certain role, it is better than nothing, the main role is to play some auxiliary role, do some help to transport some baggage, grain and grass and other work, in a whole large establishment as an auxiliary, or as a reserve, generally not on the battlefield, and so on to no one can be sent, Or when the enemy has already broken up, when the main force needs to rest, send it to participate in the pursuit, fight soy sauce, get some battle merits, and replace the main force. This situation is generally more suitable for unfamiliar troops or surrendered troops. In this case, it is often during operations that the subordinate relationship is changed according to the specific situation and situation, and the lower-level troops are always within the command range of the higher-level command, and the lower-level troops are always kept at a reasonable distance from the higher-level command. Only in this way can the combat strength of the reorganized troops be maximized and the risks can be controlled within a reasonable range. After all, there are more veterans in the team, who have certain combat experience, and can quickly adapt to training with the old and the new, and even if they are on the battlefield, some veterans in the team can also let some recruits who have not been on the battlefield quickly adapt to the high-pressure and cruel environment of the battlefield. Mentally prepare the recruits who are about to go to war.

For example, Dong Shouye's command was originally the eighth captain of Xiyuan, with 2,500 people in each school, and now there is another school or two schools that need to be reorganized into Dong Shouye's command, so Dong Shouye can directly add the men and horses of this school and the second school to his own battle sequence, and become the ninth school of the West Park Army, or the tenth school. There is also a situation where one or two lieutenants are directly appointed, and an additional school of men under their command is under their command. Of course, this situation is more suitable for some relatively familiar soldiers and horses, such as transferring some men and horses from Xu Rong or some other generals of the Xiliang Army, these horses are their own friendly troops, and they are also more familiar with these horses, and the two sides are more familiar with all aspects, so this kind of reorganization is more convenient, and you only need to keep the order. However, if some unfamiliar units are reorganized, then the risk of this situation is relatively greater, and if the newly joined formed troops temporarily turn back, it will cause great chaos within the troops, and the blow to the combat strength of the troops will be ruinous. Moreover, unfamiliar troops are not familiar with their own tactics and tactics as well as the characteristics of their battles, and their command and operation will be quite ineffective; on the whole, the increase in command of troops will be a burden, and will not bring about an increase in the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Now, the more than 6,000 troops left behind after Zhu Jun fled are in both situations, first of all, the composition of its troops is relatively complex, and its members mainly come from three aspects: among them, there is a school of men, that is, 2,500 people, who are from the Xiliang Army, which is a direct subordinate unit under Dong Shouye's cheap Laozi Dong Zhuo. The other school is from the Northern Army, which was originally responsible for guarding Luoyang, and there are still two systems inside, one is the city gate guard unit under the command of the captain of the city gate of Luoyang, mainly the 1,900 city gate soldiers under the command of Sima of the twelve city gates, and the other is subordinate to the original Northern Army, and there are more than 600 cavalry (cavalry) and halberds (foot soldiers) under the command of Jinwu. The last more than 1,000 people were some private soldiers given to him by some big families when Zhu Jun stayed in Luoyang, and the formation and command of these private soldiers were even more scattered.

After Xu Rong received Dong Shouye's order to reorganize the troops, he originally wanted to go to Luoyang to collect the troops himself, but due to the problem of time and the fact that the army was about to go to the battlefield, all kinds of troubles and trivial affairs needed to be dealt with, and he couldn't get out of it for a while, so he sent his general Li Meng to take charge of this matter.

Li Meng has been following Xu Rong for a long time, and has always been Xu Rong's right-hand man, Xu Rong's right-hand man, Xu Rong also trusts him a lot, and he is also quite sure of his ability.

After Li Meng received the order, he didn't talk nonsense, knowing that the time was pressing, he immediately led some men and horses to rush to Luoyang City, and after arriving at the barracks where the troops were stationed, he directly took out the token and the order and began to collect the troops.

What made Li Meng happier was that the commander and captain of the school that had previously belonged to the Xiliang Army turned out to be an old acquaintance with him, and the two had fought side by side when they followed Dong Zhuo in the bloody battle on the Xiliang battlefield before. Many of the generals under the command of this captain were also subordinates of his own commander, General Xu Rong, and several of them were promoted by Xu Rong. Moreover, this lieutenant can also be regarded as Dong Zhuo's confidant, and the reason why he was sent under Zhu Jun was to restrain Zhu Jun and prevent Zhu Jun.

Li Meng saw that since he was an acquaintance, the matter would be much easier, so he immediately pulled this captain aside, explained to him Dong Shouye's current command in the army, and explained the purpose of his trip, so that this captain could cooperate with him.

It was much more convenient to talk between his own people and his own people, the captain didn't say a word, actively cooperated with Li Meng's integration work, patted his chest to ensure that he would never drag his son-in-law back, and asked Li Meng to help introduce him, he wanted to meet his own son-in-law in person, and explained the secret order that Dong Zhuo gave him to his son-in-law at the beginning.

With the help of acquaintances, things are much easier, and Li Meng immediately knows the situation of the current integration of troops, after all, with the Xiliang Military Academy, the leader of the party, the problem is much simpler.

For the remaining more than 3,500 people, Li Meng did not talk nonsense, and after obtaining the support of a school that originally belonged to the Xiliang Army, he immediately gathered all the remaining generals and colonels and announced the order of reorganization.

After seeing the blood, the problem was much simpler to deal with, and many problems that were not easy to communicate were communicated very happily at once, and the reorganization of the troops was carried out in an orderly manner.

Li Meng scattered all these remaining people and put them under his own command. Then he reorganized the men and horses and the grain and grass with the previous captain, and went south to fight with the main force led by Dong Shouye and Xu Rong.

Along the way, Li Meng also conducted some training for these newly owned troops, so that he could adapt to future wars in the future and not hold himself back.
