Chapter 402: Tian Kun's News
The Xuzhou Group is different from all the princes in the world, and the most obvious thing about this difference is that the generals of the Xuzhou Group, except for a few personal guards, do not have their own army.
Lu Bu's 800 Kui Warriors, Guan Yu's 500 School Swordsmen, Gao Shun's 700 Trap Camp, Liyi's 800 Xiandeng Soldiers, Zhang Fei's 400 Iron Armor Soldiers, Chen Zhi's 600 Troublebreakers, Zhang Liao's 600 Shaking Mountain Battalion, Zhao Yun's 500 Broken Military Camp, Zang Ba's 1,000 Taishan Battalion, Tian Fan's 300 Iron Guards, and so on, these are the troops they have at hand, and they are also completely loyal to their own army.
The rest of the army could not be mobilized without Liu Bei's order or authorization.
The reason why there are such strange rules is because the soldiers of the Xuzhou army have a three-month brainwashing education stage before officially entering the army. After these three months of crazy brainwashing storm, they have become completely loyal to Liu Bei, and without Liu Bei's orders, no one can command them. These soldiers are under Gao Shun today, and they will be under Lu Bu tomorrow, and they will not be able to last long, so they will not be able to have a strong sense of dependence and convincing on a certain general, which can ensure their loyalty to Liu Bei.
However, when the soldiers of this army generally believed that there was a person whose appeal and influence were no less than Liu Bei's, the problem arose!
On the 16th day of the lunar month, Chen Qun wrote to Liu Bei, requesting the establishment of a corps system under the command of the army.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Liu Bei ordered the Xuzhou Army to form two corps, namely the Fenwei Corps and the White Tiger Corps.
The Fenwei Corps, the main general is Guan Yu, the military division is Chen Deng, under the jurisdiction of the Shaobi battalion of 30,000 people, Wei Yan's Liyang army of 4,000 people, Hao Zhao's Shu County garrison of 4,000 people, Lei Bo, Chen Lan's mountain army of 10,000 people, in addition, 2,000 cavalry specially allocated for mobile use. The total number of troops of the Fenwei Legion was 50,000 men, and it was mainly responsible for the defense and external attacks in the southern region of Xuzhou. Official positions such as joining the army and Changshi must be reported to Liu Bei for approval before the establishment of the Shaobi camp next year.
The White Tiger Corps, the main commander will be Tian Fan, there is no military division, under the jurisdiction of Lu Bu's wolf cavalry battalion, Pang De's cavalry battalion, a total of 10,000 cavalry, Gao Shun's 10,000 foot soldiers, Li Yi led 10,000 foot soldiers, a total of 30,000 people, in order to quickly move the army, the war there is not smooth, they have to go there. Joining the army, long history, etc., were also assigned by Tian Fan.
Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals in Xiapi, as well as Chen Dao, who will be transferred back after the year, Zhang Liao in Juxian, Tian Yu in Guangling, and Zang Ba in Suiyang directly obeyed Liu Bei's orders.
After the year, the station of Tian Fan's White Tiger Legion will be separated from the camp where Zhang Fei and others are located, and will no longer be stationed in the same camp. From now on, Tian Fan could only command Lu Bu, Pang De, Liyi and Gao Shun, although he was in Xiapi with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, but without Liu Bei's orders, there would be no subordination.
Liu Bei's move can be described as ruthless! Stuffing Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Liyi into the White Tiger Legion, so that their influence does not exceed that of the White Tiger Legion, and the influence of Lu Bu's family will be greatly weakened. As for Tian Fan, the same reason could have affected nearly 200,000 soldiers in the entire Xuzhou Legion, but now it can only affect the 30,000 soldiers of the White Tiger Legion.
After this series of combinations, Tian Fan finally believed that what Sima Hui said was right, and Liu Bei had indeed begun to try to reduce his influence. However, there was nothing he could do, not even the slightest room for resistance.
Liu Bei's actions were not to destroy Tian Fan, why did Tian Fan resist? On what grounds is it opposed? In the eyes of people who don't know the inside story, Tian Fan has the army he really belongs to, he really wants to open a government and build a tooth, and he has his own team, which is a good thing. In the eyes of those who know the inside story, this is Liu Bei's attempt to normalize the relationship between their monarch and minister, which is also a good thing. If Tian Fan doesn't agree, then he really doesn't know what to do!
Maybe Liu Bei looked at Tian Fan for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and he couldn't bear it, perhaps, he felt that it was unfair to Tian Fan to let Chen Qun succeed twice in ten days, in short, Liu Bei specially allowed Tian Fan to expand the team of his own soldiers to 2,000 people. At the same time, Tian Fan just suggested and prepared to formally establish the Modao Battalion with a scale of 2,000 people after the year, and merge it into the White Tiger Legion, and you can choose soldiers throughout the army, even including Liu Bei's guard battalion.
After the discussion was over, Tian Fan, who was not in a good mood and had nowhere to vent, rode back home. He urgently needed to ask Sima Hui and the others for advice to see how to act in the future.
However, when he went home, he suddenly remembered that Sima Hui and the others had gone to Lu County and had not yet returned.
So, he could only go to Xiaoqing, a little beauty with a dark psychology.
Xiaoqing's analysis is similar to Tian Fan's own analysis, and her advice to Tian Fan is to firmly grasp the military power in her hands, while maintaining a low-key posture and pretending to be a grandson as much as possible.
Tian Fan couldn't think of any tricks, so he had to accept it temporarily.
After pondering for a while, he said: "From today onwards, show me Chen Qun, that is, what he eats every day, and write it down for me!" After being succeeded by Chen Qun twice in a row, Tian Fan felt that it was impossible to be so passive anymore. For Chen Qun's actions, you must be aware of them, and you must make preparations in advance.
Xiaoqing listened, nodded happily, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
There was a knock at the door, and a maid walked in.
The maid is Xiaoqing's personal maid, named Pomegranate. Although the name Pomegranate is very sharp, this girl looks very sweet, and she does not have the terrifying dignity of Sister Pomegranate.
Pomegranate saluted Tian Fan and said crisply: "Son, someone has come to the house, and he is here to find the master." The host lets you pass! ”
Tian Fan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, came to find the old man, what about his own?
Thinking about it, he walked to the main hall.
As he stepped in, he saw a man sitting at the top of the guest seat, who was in his fifties, with a gray beard, thin cheeks, and a slightly thin body, wearing a black scribe's garment and a scribe's crown. Sitting there like an old monk in meditation, with an ancient expression on his face, as if anything was meaningless in his eyes.
This man is very ordinary-looking, with a common face, and he will not be noticed if he is thrown into a crowd. But his eyes were slightly gloomy, which made Tian Fan feel that this person was definitely not easy to mess with!
As soon as he saw someone coming in, the man turned his head and looked at Tian Fan for a long time with a slightly curious look, and then quietly withdrew his gaze and returned to the old monk's settled state.
Tian Fan saluted the old man, the old man nodded, pointed at the man, and said, "This person is absolutely credible, whatever he says, you can do it!" After a slight pause, he picked up a roll of bamboo slips and said, "This is your brother's letter, well, he brought it!" ”
Tian Fan hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully.
In the letter, Tian Kun said that he was very good, eating well, drinking well, and having fun. Also, he is following his master to learn the art of war, Taoluo, martial arts, etc., and when he finishes his studies, he will return to Xuzhou to reunite with his family. Finally, greeting his parents' body, he asked Tian Fan again, and jokingly asked, how many nephews do you have now?
After reading the letter, Tian Fan couldn't help but smile. Tian Kun has disappeared for almost two years, and today I finally got the news from him, everything is fine with him, that's good. Moreover, his handwriting is also much better, and his speech is more organized, Tian Fan saw it, and naturally knew that his master was a reliable person, so he was naturally relieved a lot.
Handing the letter to the old man, the old man smiled, stroked his beard and said: "Fan'er, you talk to him, I still have something to do, go out first!" ”
Tian Fan nodded and agreed. The man saluted respectfully to the old man, and it was not until the old man's figure disappeared that he stood up again.
After the old man left, Tian Fan came to the person who delivered the letter, and saluted: "The younger brother of the family left home, and he has been thinking about it all the time, and today I learned that everything is fine with him, all thanks to Your Excellency!" After a slight pause, he said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”
As soon as the man saw Tian Fan saluting, he hurriedly returned the salute.
He clenched his fists and said, "Mr. Tian doesn't have to be like this!" Speaking of which, I have a deep relationship with Your Excellency, and I don't have to be so polite! ”
Tian Fan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him say this, and he said curiously: "This gentleman, have you ever seen it in Xia?" ”
The scribe shook his head and smiled, "Oh, not really! He stroked his beard and smiled, "It's just...... Hehe, the tutor and Mr. have a relationship, and they also have a high evaluation of Mr. And the younger brother of the gentleman is the little junior brother below! Senior disciple Tian Kun is a close disciple of the master, hehe, he will inherit the mantle of the master in the future. ”
Tian Fan couldn't help but be even more curious, he asked, "Who is your master?" Who is my brother's teacher? ”
The man smiled and said: "Hehe, the teacher who taught the profession in the lower part of the world, is known as the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, because he was born with a white beard, so the people in the rivers and lakes call him 'White Beard'!" And the younger brother of the gentleman is the little junior brother below! ”
Tian Fan was taken aback, and he asked in surprise, "What?" Whitebeard is your master? His name is Song Jing? Is it the 'gun' Song Jing in the previous generation of 'Three Uniques'? Is his brother's master him? ”
He breathed countless question marks, and the scribe said countless "exactly" and "not bad"!
Tian Fan was really surprised, the white beard turned out to be Song Jing! Shi Ah said that the "gun" in the three uniques of the older generation! Song Jing, who is as famous as Tang Chen, the old man Tang! And his younger brother turned out to be his closed disciple!
These series of news can be said to make Tian Fan's mind confused. Unexpectedly, the old man with a white beard who is not doing well will be a character in the "Three Uniques" of the previous generation...... As a result, Tian Fan also had a serious curiosity about the true identity of the incomplete!
After being stunned for a long time, Tian Fan came back to his senses.
When he saw the man looking at him with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but smile very embarrassedly, and hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper in the next moment, and I neglected Mr.!" Hehe, sir, please sit, please drink! ”
Tian Fan asked the man to sit down, personally poured him a glass of wine, and held it in his hand.
The man didn't even dare to scream, and looked a little frightened. Tian Fan can understand his psychology to some extent, his younger brother is Song Jing's closed disciple, that is, the head of the next generation, this person wants his descendants to continue to receive the kind of education he receives, so he naturally has to stammer his younger brother, and he has to stammer himself.
Tian Fan smiled and picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Hehe, this gentleman, what kind of sect are you?" ”
The man smiled and said, "Hehe, Mr. Tian, according to what you asked, I shouldn't hide it." However, the family teacher is forbidden to mention the sect you belong to others, so please forgive me for being rude! If in the future, the gentleman meets the teacher, you can ask him in person. ”
Tian Fan smiled and bowed his head to show understanding. He said, "Hehe, by the way, what do you call Mr.?" We've been talking for so long, and I don't even know your honorable name, hehe! ”
The scribe smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "Under the surname Jia Mingxu, the words are harmonious!" ”
Tian Fan just drank a sip of wine and squirted out violently...... PS: Only this chapter today, sorry. I've sorted out my thoughts tonight, and I've only written this chapter.
