Xu Sheng is a good old man, seeing Song Qian's embarrassment, he couldn't help but get up to help: "Colleagues, don't laugh, Song Qian is honest and loyal, and he is relatively simple!" ”

Zhong Wenwu didn't really laugh, he just thought it was funny, and quickly restrained himself and stopped in moderation.

Wang Xu immediately comforted me and said: "Song Qian, you have followed me for so long, you have made countless feats, and you have done the most things, but you have never fought for merit, not showing off, diligently, and working silently in Jiangxia day and night, and never let me worry about it at all. I promise you that the Navy will have a separate legion, which you will name and go down in history, but you have to think about it, eh...... That one...... That Exocet lacks majesty, and it really doesn't fit well. ”

"Hmmm! The final general must be carefully considered. Song Qian was excited, although he never fought for anything, but in his heart, he didn't want to be famous for eternity, the naming of a large army must be famous, and he blushed at the moment and nodded again and again.

"Alright, let's all come up with ideas!" Wang Xu turned his head and looked at the crowd of civil and martial arts. "There are six legions of horse infantry, and in the future, with the efforts of everyone, it will spread to the world, and the naming cannot lack depth and majesty."

As the words spoke, the council hall fell silent, and all the civil and military officers thought to themselves.

After a while, Fu Zhi took the lead in taking over the words: "Lord, I see four of them, you might as well use the name of the general of the four expeditions, which is both simple and heavy. ”

"Expeditions to the east, west, south, and north?" Wang Xu frowned and whispered, always feeling a little bad.

"My subordinates think it's a bit awkward, and it's not good to have the same name as the general of the Four Expeditions." Fa Zheng spoke out. Shaking his head, he said, "It's better to simply name the East, South, West, and North Quartet Legions." It's more palatable. ”

"Eastern Legion? Southern Legion? Wang Xu read two casually. I thought it was smooth, and smiled at the moment: "I think it's good, what do you think?" ”

"Hmmm! Not bad. ”

"Yes, this name is ordinary but also has the aura of conquest."

The civil and military forces communicated with each other, and they were still quite satisfied with this mention.

"Good!" Wang Xu made a decision, thought about it for a while, and then said aloud: "From now on, the 50,000 garrisons of Nanyang County will be officially reorganized. In the future, it will be called the Eastern Army, with General Fujun and Nanyang Taishou Gao Shun as the commander, Zhang Jing as the general of Fenwu, and Zhang He as the general of Yingyang, each leading a division and obeying orders. The shortage of 30,000 soldiers will be filled in the future. ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhang He, who was stunned in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Junyi, you don't have enough combat merits. It is only temporary, and it will be made up for meritorious service in the future. I hope you can do your best to arrange your family affairs and go north to Nanyang within half a month. ”

"The last general commands!" Zhang He was very moved, got up and prostrate on the ground, and thanked him for his promotion.

Wang Xu didn't say anything more, and quickly retracted his gaze and continued: "Order Wei Yan in Hanzhong and Huang Zhong in the northwest, from now on, the two divisions belong to the same establishment, a total of 60,000, plus the guards in various dangerous passes in the north of Yizhou, about 10,000, a total of 70,000, and when the war in the northwest is calmed, it will be immediately reorganized into the Northern Army and make up the establishment." Promoted Wei Yan to the general of Kou and thought he was the commander. ”

"Zhonglang General Wu Yizeng led tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers to surrender and promoted to the general of Pingyu. Zhang Ren, a famous general in Shuzhong, lacked meritorious deeds, but he remembered his sincerity and dedication, and was able to fight well, assist Huang Zhong in fighting in the northwest, and temporarily promoted General Jianwei to make up for it with meritorious service in the future. These two people each led a division and obeyed Wei Yan's orders. ”

At this moment, all the civil and military ministers understood that although Wang Xu did not say it explicitly, his intention was already very obvious, this was to take the throne and force the court to make him king.

After all, Wang Xu had been authorized by the first emperor to open the palace and hold the festival, and there was nothing to do with some loopholes in the name, but the appointment of generals, even if it was a miscellaneous general, could only be recommended to the imperial court, and the imperial court decided.

Although the major forces don't manage so much now, they all have the final say, but appoint various high-level official positions, such as Taishou, county orders, generals, etc., and they will also send individuals to the court for the record.

In history, in addition to Cao Cao's control of the government, there was an innate convenience, so he unscrupulously appointed accidents, Wu and Shu, both of them, were only after the king was crowned, and they really divided various positions above the general level on a large scale.

At this moment, the Chinese ministers in the hall were all in deep thought, and they were weighing whether Wang Xu was suitable to take the throne as king, and whether the time was ripe.

However, Wang Xu didn't care so much at this moment, seeing that the ministers were silent and silent, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gave an order.

"There are 15,000 defenders in Yuzhang and 5,000 defenders in Changsha, all of whom will be separated from the Taishou in the future and combined into the Southern Army. Xu Huang was promoted to General Zhenyuan, commanding the Southern Army, Han Meng was General Zhichong, and Yan Yan was General Xuanyi, each leading a division. ”

"The last general commands!" The three generals were in the column at this moment, and immediately got up to answer the order.

"Gongming, the main task of the Southern Army now is to guard against Jiangdong and Jiaozhou in the south, to defend Jingnan, how to deploy it in the future, it is up to you to decide, I just want to say one thing, after the 80,000 soldiers are replenished in the future, if Jingnan is stable, it will be your credit, and if something happens, it will be your responsibility. Even if you are defeated, you will call for help in time, if it is not your responsibility, you will naturally not blame, but you know what I mean? ”

"The last general will not be dishonored!" All three of them are resolute people, and their words are sonorous.

"Okay, nearly 90,000 soldiers have returned from Nanzhong, and I will give you 60,000 to make up all the 80,000 personnel of the Southern Army." Wang Xu said with burning eyes.

"Lord, this ......" The three of them looked at each other in surprise.

Xu Huang couldn't help but dissuade him: "My lord, Xiangyang is a heavy land, there can't be no one to guard it, and there are frequent wars in other counties, if there is an accident, I am afraid that I will not be able to respond." ”

Wang Xu waved his hand: "It's okay!" I still have 10,000 green dragon knights and 10,000 guard iron cavalry, and now Cao Cao is busy fighting in the north and will not come south. On the contrary, it is the land of Yangzhou, although it is mired in the quagmire of conscription of the mountain people, but there is still residual strength, although this force is not enough to open a broad front, so as to attack the Central Plains in the north, but we must beware of its attack on the foundation of Jingnan, if the Sun family gets Jingnan, there are mountains and mountains in the west to block the soldiers of Yizhou, and there is the Yangtze River in the north. There will be no worries. It will become the general trend. ”

Xu Huang, Han Meng, and Yan Yan looked at each other for a moment. Taking a deep breath, he replied in unison: "The last general will swear to protect Jingnan Zhouquan to the death!" ”

"Good! Take a seat! ”

Wang Xu smiled, no longer told them, and turned to look at the rest of the generals. "According to my previous dispatch, now the Northern Army is 70,000, the Eastern Army is 50,000, the Southern Army is 80,000, and Xiangyang only has 30,000 soldiers left. There are also 10,000 Blue Dragon Knights, and 10,000 Guards Iron Cavalry. However, 20,000 of the recruits have already met our requirements, so the Western Legion will transfer 10,000 veterans with 20,000 recruits to form a formation first. ”

At this moment, the mood of the generals present was all stirred, for them, this kind of legion configuration made them almost obsessed, and everyone longed to be assigned to the legion, and they all sat upright, waiting for orders.

Wang Xu's gaze gradually swept over the faces of the generals. didn't stop for a long time, and finally he looked at Zhou Zhi who was dejected.

Zhou Zhi knew that he was not playing. For so many years, he has made outstanding achievements, except for a few people such as Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, most of the generals in the army are out of reach, but good things are never his turn, this is a habit.

He also understood that Wang Xu once said that he wanted him to hone more and learn to endure first, so even if he led a division, he didn't have that kind of extravagant expectation, because according to convention, he would be slightly shorter than Zhang Jing, and when he heard that Zhang Jing only led one division, he knew that he was not playing.

"Hey!" Wang Xu sighed: "Zhou Zhi, you have followed me since I was a child, I know your heart best, but the Western Legion is indeed too important, you still have a lot of shortcomings, you are different from others, your thoughts are more like Guo Jia, strange and dangerous, if you don't go on a business trip, it's okay, if something happens, it's enough to kill your head." ”

"You yourself should understand it very well, so I have been pressing you, just because I am afraid that you only have Guo Jia's strange adventures, but you don't have the kind of spiritual transformation that you can control freely, and I am worried that you, a good brother who has followed me for many years, will one day be guillotined by me."

"I have always pressed your merits, and today, I can only say ......"

Zhou Zhi's face turned green when he heard this, and he interrupted with a wry smile: "Boss, lord, these younger brothers you said understand in their hearts!" ”

"Huh? The lord screams very well, not bad! ”

Wang Xu smiled instantly, and changed the previous heaviness: "Today, I can only say that I really can't hold it back, on the military merit book presented in the frustration rule, there are more than a dozen pages of unfinished merits, Guo Fengxiao, Fu Gonghe, Xu Yuanzhi, Tian Yuanhao's joint recommendation letter, it is to promote you as Yuzhang Taishou, and command the soldiers and horses to defend Jiangdong, but transfer the original Taishou Lai Gong back to the General's Mansion, which makes me helpless." ”

"It just so happens that I have decided to reform the military system again, but you can sit in Jingnan, I really don't feel at ease, Gongming is obviously more suitable than you kid, there is no way, you can only command the Western Legion, from now on, you kid will carry it yourself, and you will be responsible for anything else!"

Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded, his brain crashed instantly, and he didn't react at all.

The civil and military forces in the hall also looked at each other with a smile, and they were all made a little crying and laughing by Wang Xu's teasing words before.

But no one has any opinion on this appointment, in the Jingzhou army, Zhou Zhi's alternative is not a day or two, everyone has watched him perform miraculous feats, but he has been transferred around, doing two days here, a few days there, and never really arranging stable affairs.

If Wang Xu doesn't like him, but in Jingzhou's civil and military affairs, he and Zhang Jing, Song Qian, Xu Sheng, and Dian Wei can be regarded as the closest to Wang Xu.

Everyone has always been very curious, and it was not until today that they suddenly understood what Wang Xu was doing.

This is a hard training, just because Zhou Zhi started late, much later than Zhang Jing, in order to let him really catch up with the speed of everyone's growth, as much as possible to become a generation of famous generals, obviously can only be so, despite so many grievances, but today, it has finally achieved positive results, and inadvertently reached a considerable height.

Wang Xu smiled, his eyes pleased.

"Where is the rebellious general Zhou Zhi?"

"The last general!"

"Let you command the Western Legion and protect Xiangyang."

"No!"

Zhou Zhi was already excited at the moment and couldn't control himself, his pleasure could no longer be expressed in shallow words, it seemed that every hair on his body had a beating joy, and after so many years, he finally raised his eyebrows.

Wang Xu smiled and stared at it for a moment, and suddenly said meaningfully: "As for the generals of the two divisions of the Western Legion, for the sake of your hard work and achievements for so many years, let you order it yourself." ”

"Shall I order?" Zhou Zhi was stunned for an instant, and the excitement on his face cooled.

Fortunately, his training for so many years was not in vain, and he quickly understood the mystery contained in Wang Xu's words.

Now there are only a few generals who are really capable and barely qualified, Huang Zhong who is still in the northwest, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Wang Fei who are here, these four people are completely compliant, but he will not be stupid enough to order these people, he knows very well that these people must be candidates for commanders of other legions.

As for Yan Liang, Xu Sheng, and Dian Wei, they are the left guard, the right guard, and the middle guard, respectively, these people are Wang Xu's personal generals, and they will inevitably lead the guards in the future, so naturally they can't be ordered.

The rest of them are either not capable enough, or they are not qualified at all, so it seems that what Wang Xu said is very meaningful...... (To be continued......)
