On the cloister, Yuan Shang stood alone, admiring the flowers alone.

Rare tranquility, but destined not to last.

More than a dozen figures walked in.

An unexpected, but still expected face.

Eight feet long, majestic posture, what is unforgettable is that pair of eyes that are as calm as water, who is not Zhao Yun.

was imprisoned by Yuan Shang for more than a month, but finally failed to escape Yuan Shang's clutches.

Now sitting on the two states of Youji, Yuan Shang is in urgent need of a powerful general, and Zhao Yun is undoubtedly the target of Yuan Shang's struggle.

Gongsun Chan was dead, Zhao Yun was silent for a month, and Yuan Shang also gave him a month to think about it, and also gave him two choices.

Die silently, or follow in his footsteps.

Zhao Yun's choice was expected by Yuan Shang.

No matter what, Zhao Yun's submission really made Yuan Shang happy.

His martial arts have been tested by several battles, and Xu Huang also admires him, and during his detention, he carries good wine to the prison every month to drink with him, and he is full of praise for Zhao Yun's character, which Yuan Shang has to admit.

Zhao Yun's loyalty is indeed admirable.

Erect a monument for the father and son of the Gongsun family to show respect.

How many people can do this, and in that era, there are definitely not many people who can do this.

Walking in, in addition to Zhao Yun in a white robe, there was another familiar face.

The face is delicate and fair-skinned, like a scholar, a green coat swept up, and if he walked with wind and clouds, it was Tian Kai.

After the death of Gongsun Zhan, except for the die-hard Gongsun Yang after the death of the battle. The rest of the people have fallen. It was Tian Kai, who used to be the Taishou of a county, who finally chose to take refuge in Yuan Shang after hesitating for a few days.

The footsteps were deep and crisp. Naturally, it was not only Zhao Yun and Tian Kai who came in, but also Pang Tong, Tian Feng, Zhang He, and several generals who led the recruitment of Gan Ning and Zhou Cang.

There are more than a dozen people in total, all of whom are generals or confidants under Yuan Shang.

The gazebo is not big, but it is enough to accommodate a dozen or twenty people.

Yuan Shang was standing, and it was naturally impossible for everyone to sit down.

The autumn breeze blows, which makes people feel refreshed and blended with the fragrance of flowers, which really makes people feel very comfortable.

"Meet my lord."

A neat voice sounded. The sparrows and birds above the gazebo were suddenly startled, but the few little mastiffs playing outside the gazebo seemed to be used to it, and still rolled around on the ground to play.

Yuan Shang's eyes were withdrawn from the flowers, he turned to look at several generals and two strategists, and said in a deep voice: "This summons and waits, there is good news and bad news to announce." ”

The generals' faces moved slightly, but only Tian Feng and Pang Tong knew it in their hearts.

Yuan Shang also didn't sell Guan Zi and said: "The previous time, General Juyi led the army to raid Xingyang and obtained millions of stone of grain and grass hoarded in Aocang. You and others said that this is not a great joy. ”

With a bang, all the generals were shocked in their hearts. Rumors about Ao Cang suddenly came to mind.

Millions of stone of grain and grass?

Except for Zhao Yun and Tian Kai, the rest were all shocked and couldn't react.

There is a shortage of food in the state, it is too short, and it is not a day or two.

There are millions of stone of grain and grass, which is enough to expand the army by more than 100,000, and even the grain and grass owed before can be easily solved.

The surprise came too suddenly, and it was Zhang He's determination to recruit a few veterans, who was also a little overjoyed, and his lips trembled, which seemed a little unbelievable.

"Lord, what you said is true?" Singular is also somewhat unbelievable.

Yuan Shang looked in a good mood and smiled: "What came out of my mouth, is there any falsehood?" General Ju Yi's letter was already on the way back, and it was too late for Dong Zhuo's old thief to receive the news. ”

Everyone settled down at this time, and then they were overjoyed, these millions of stones of grain and grass are enough to support the two years of Bingzhou and Youzhou, and the generals who have been saving money for several years have a sense of happiness that they have been stunned by money.

"In the future, I finally don't have to worry about not having enough to eat." Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief, his face was also very happy, he didn't know the price of firewood and rice, it had only been a few months, he had already scratched his brain for the frequent urgency of grain and grass, and now that this problem could be temporarily solved, even the rest of the generals were also relieved.

Yuan Shang heard this, but he didn't smile, his face was a little solemn, and he said, "Don't be too happy, there is bad news." ”

All the generals present had a solemn face, staring intently at Yuan Shang.

"The Intelligence Department and the Falcon both sent a message, Dong Zhuo is ready to do it, and the 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry will be dispatched." Yuan Shang said.

"200,000 Xiliang Iron Riders"

The generals' faces froze, and Zhao Yun and Tian Kai in their hearts were also a little heavy, they had fought with Zhang Ji under Dong Zhuo, and they had an advantage in numbers, but they still suffered a lot of losses, and since then, they no longer dared to underestimate the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that was a mixture of Han and Qiang.

"Our army has only 80,000 combat establishments."

Yuan Shang's tone was slightly gloomy: "Compared with Dong Zhuo's 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the difference in number is too great, this is not the most deadly, according to the news, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Tan, and Liu Biao, who have just entered Xuzhou, have openly stated that they will send troops to help." ”

"Therefore, the enemy army we are facing is at least 300,000 people."

"Expand the army." Yuan Shang said loudly and powerfully: "We must expand the army, this is an urgent matter, and the Tiger Wolf in the Prefecture has been expanded from the original 80,000 combat establishment to 200,000. ”

200,000, everyone's hearts were shocked again, it seems that Yuan Shang really can't wait, the fangs of the tiger and wolf army are about to be completely opened, no one will doubt that Yuan Shang's sentence of expanding the army is empty talk, now there are millions of grain and grass, and there is no shortage of soldiers and states, especially the hundreds of thousands of service soldiers, just pull on the battlefield to temper for half a year, it is a powerful new force, survival of the fittest, then with 200,000 elite tiger and wolf division, don't say that the four states of Hebei are the territory of the world, Yuan Shang can do it.

When the generals heard this, they were all overjoyed, and there were a total of 80,000 tiger and wolf combat troops in Bingzhou, with a total of nearly 20 combat battalions, which were selected, and the generals who basically put into service in the later period did not have many soldiers and horses at hand, and if they were expanded according to what Yuan Shang said, the soldiers and horses on hand of the battalion commanders would indeed be more or less in the future.

No one will dislike the large number of soldiers at hand, except for a few fixed-establishment combat battalions with the first battalion and the wolf cavalry, the number of soldiers and horses in the remaining battalions is changing with the actual situation, just like Xu Huang's teaching battalion, if according to the standard of the first-class combat battalion mentioned by Yuan Shang, the standard configuration of each battalion will definitely usher in a big outflow.

"Also" Yuan Shang paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In view of the urgent situation in the future, adjustments need to be made at all levels of the military camp, and the specific adjustments will be announced by Pang Dian Shenwei and others. ”

Hearing this, Pang Tong walked out of the crowd, stood on Yuan Shang's left side, and held out a bamboo slip in his hand.

But I heard him say aloud: "In order to facilitate the management of the General's Office, from now on, the barracks at all levels will be reorganized, and on the original basis, regimental and division-level units will be added, with sub-generals leading regimental levels, and lieutenant generals leading divisional levels. ”

After a while, he continued: "The division-level combat battalion has been expanded by 10,000, the regiment-level combat battalion is 5,000, the battalion-level is 3,000, and the rest remains unchanged. Pang Tong's voice was loud, and the words were shocking.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, the General Staff, this is a brand new department.

The Tiger Wolf did have the position of staff officer of the army before, but the symbolic meaning was higher than the practical significance, and it was generally held by the strategist, who only provided advice to the main general and had no actual command power.

From Yuan Shang's expression, the new staff department is by no means light, and it is under the jurisdiction of the General Staff of the General's Mansion, and no one dares to question its importance for this alone.

It didn't matter if Zhou Cang Wang Ling and other generals at the rank of lieutenant were present, and only those who were qualified to set up staff departments were at the regimental and division levels, and the establishment of the battalion level remained the same.

Yuan Shang's dark eyes swept over the faces of the generals present one by one, and Pang Tong also took the words and accepted the bamboo slips.

Seeing that no one objected, Yuan Shang and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and Pang Tong fell back into the crowd.

"Good."

Yuan Shang's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and said: "Since you have no opinions, the next adjustment will be in charge of the General's Mansion, and the general will participate in the joint implementation of the logistics departments. ”

When Zhang He heard this, Zhou Cang, Gan Ning and the other generals turned grim, and they hugged their fists and said, "Huh." ”

Tian Feng and Pang Tong also responded loudly, and Yuan Shang's order fell, and then, not only the entire General's Mansion would move wildly, but they would also be very busy. (To be continued......)
