With the expansion of the size of the army, the previous 500-man battalion establishment has completely failed to form an effective command system.

After Lin Yuan discussed with the generals, he decided to expand the battalion to 5,000 people.

1 battalion has a commander and 2 deputy commanders, under which there are 5 commanders and 50 centurions.

He first broke up the 3,000 Xiang army and incorporated it into the 30,000 army.

Then, 6 battalions were selected from the army, divided into 3 infantry battalions, 1 cavalry battalion, 1 archery battalion, and 1 baggage battalion.

The commander of the cavalry battalion was set as Yuwen Chengdu, and the deputy commander was Yang Qin.

Yang Qin has made rapid progress in recent days, and he has caught up with ordinary silver generals.

Lin Yuan had high hopes for him.

The placement of him in the position of deputy commander was intended to cultivate him.

As for the other five barracks, a complete battalion with a total of 25,000 people will be formed, and the battalion will have two positions: commander and deputy commander.

The first battalion, Lin Yuan named the Longxiang Battalion.

The commander of the Longxiang battalion was temporarily replaced by him.

Yu Ban is the deputy commander.

In addition, Wen Ping and Zao Wou-Ki respectively served as the commander of the first battalion of the Longxiang battalion and the commander of the second battalion of the Longxiang battalion.

For the position of commander, it is better to lack than to excite!

Gao Cang, Zhou Kang, and Wang Shen set up a scout camp with a number of 500, independent of the Longxiang battalion.

Lin Yuan's requirements for them are not only to be able to detect intelligence, but also to be able to fight tough battles, which is a bit specialized.

As for the extra 3,000 people, they will all join the establishment of the Xiang army.

Lin Yuan came and went back and forth, and he could be regarded as completely controlling the forces of Suizhou City.

The 3,000 Xiang troops in Suizhou, all of which were high-level and well-equipped fifth-order troops, with strong combat effectiveness, were scattered by Lin Yuan and assigned to the Longxiang battalion, becoming Lin Yuan's private soldiers.

And the Suizhou Xiang Army after the reorganization is all composed of eliminated private soldiers, these people will not betray Lin Yuan, even if the imperial court sends generals to serve again, they will only obey Lin Yuan's orders.

Moreover, these van troops also had the allowance of the Southern Song Dynasty court, which saved Lin Yuan some of his expenses.

After the army was reorganized, Lin Yuan used the elite equipment in the arsenal to start equipping the Longxiang battalion and the cavalry battalion.

In just three days, the original 30,000-strong militia unit changed its guns to artillery and became an elite unit.

Each soldier was equipped with armor, a scarf, a weapon, and cloud-toed boots......

Not only that, Lin Yuan also sent a battalion to transport equipment to Zhuge Liang's army in the southern region, and the amount of equipment was enough to prepare an army of 20,000 people.

Just wait for Zhuge Liang to be in the southern region and digest the results.

In this way, in Lin Yuan's hands, it is equivalent to having 50,000 elite troops at once.

After the soldiers were equipped, Lin Yuan decided to attack the remaining lords in the central region of Suizhou.

In the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, this truth is understood by everyone in the Song Dynasty.

Yuwen Chengdu led the cavalry battalion, ploughed the court and swept the holes, responsible for clearing the territory in the west, those lords in the west, looking at the wind, also had a few hard-necked lords, thinking that they could unite and block Yuwen Chengdu's troops.

They gathered 20,000 militiamen and fought against Yuwen Chengdu.

After a battle, 20,000 militia troops were wiped out, and the cavalry battalion of Yuwen Chengdu only lost dozens of horses.

This is the gap in equipment.

After this battle, no one dared to raise troops to resist, and surrendered in advance before Yuwen Chengdu arrived.

In this way, the road between Wushan Town and Suizhou City was completely opened.

The two cities depend on each other.

Yuwen Chengdu won the first battle, and Lin Yuan was not idle.

He and Yu Ban personally led the Longxiang battalion to capture the remaining territories in the central region.

The elite equipment makes it impossible for other lords to resist at all.

After a few skirmishes, the remaining territories were wiped out.

At this point, the entire territory of the Central District is directly owned by him.

If you add the southern district occupied by Zhuge Liang, that is, two-fifths of Suizhou has fallen into his hands

After Lin Yuan swept through the Central District, the war madness in the Northern Region was so frightened that he immediately formed an alliance with Beishan Mo in the Western District and Jingchu Warriors in the Eastern District, and the three of them made an alliance and advanced and retreated together.

They formed an alliance this time and also gathered an army of 100,000 troops.

As long as Lin Yuan attacked any of them, the other two would lead the army to attack Lin Yuan without hesitation.

Regarding the alliance of the three, Lin Yuan just scoffed.

An army of 100,000 people, if not an elite army, then in front of him, they are all ants.

The reason why Lin Yuan has such confidence, in addition to the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion and the Longxiang battalion under his command, there is another important reason, that is, Zhuge Liang came to Suizhou City.

After dealing with everything in the southern area of Suizhou, Zhuge Liang personally led an army of 20,000 to Suizhou City in the north.

"Kong Ming, I've seen the lord!"

In the Zhizhou Mansion, Lin Yuan and Zhuge Liang met again.

The last time the two met was in early October, and it has been early November, a month in the past.

Time flies!

However, throughout the month of October, both of them were very busy.

Lin Yuan defended Wushan Town and defeated Yang Mi's army of 50,000, while Zhuge Liang took advantage of Yang Mi's northward march to capture the southern district of Suizhou in one fell swoop.

When Lin Yuan went to Suizhou City to take office and swept the territory of the Central District, Zhuge Liang stayed in the Southern District to prevent the Zhongxiang rebels in Yingzhou from going north.

Both of them are supporting each other.

"The lord's plan is really wonderful, and the five bodies that Liang admires are thrown to the ground!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang saw Lin Yuan, he mentioned that Lin Yuan seized Suizhou City under the pretense of the power of the Holy Decree.

Lin Yuan also smiled, "Fang is under today, the princes stand side by side, and the heroes rise, if I fake the name of 'loyalty' again, I am afraid that I will be torn to pieces by this group of hungry wolves." The eldest husband is not informal, and the name of loyalty and righteousness is worth it if he can exchange the lives of tens of thousands of my soldiers. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, seemingly agreeing with Lin Yuan's point of view.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods should be practiced.

Not everyone is like Liu Bei, who sells benevolence and righteousness.

Lin Yuan disagreed with Liu Bei very much, he felt that Liu Bei should have listened to Zhuge Liang's advice and quickly seized Jingzhou after Xinye's escape, instead of being pretending to be benevolent and righteous, and was chased by Cao Cao all the way.

The consequence of hypocrisy and false righteousness was that Liu Bei's army was almost completely wiped out, and hundreds of thousands of people in Xinye died in the wilderness.

Since ancient times, there are a few people who have achieved great things by virtue of benevolence and righteousness.

Benevolence and righteousness are reserved for future generations to keep the king!

Wang Ba is the only way for the founding king.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly, Zhuge Liang mentioned the victory in Wushan Town.

"Go to the army to fight, attack the heart! This move of the lord is really amazing, and it goes straight to Yang Mi's flaws, and wins the opportunity for us to break through the Zhongxiang rebels in the future! ”

"Actually, I don't hide it from Kong Ming, this move was also handed over to me by someone else." Lin Yuan stared at Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang's expression lit up, "Who is it who can see through the flaws of Zhong Xiang's rebels at a glance?" Please also ask the lord to introduce Liang. ”

Lin Yuan smiled and summoned the guards, "Go to the back of the mansion and summon my sister-in-law Huang Yueying." ”

The guard nodded and left, and it didn't take long for Huang Yueying to bring it.

"Brother-in-law, ...... is this?"

As soon as she walked into the lobby, Huang Yueying saw Zhuge Liang at a glance, her instrument was lofty, heroic, and her heart was beating wildly inexplicably.

Zhuge Liang also made a difference.

"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to the two!" Lin Yuan smiled and took Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying's hands and shook them together.

"Sister-in-law, this is Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming, is my right-hand man."

"Kong Ming, this is Huang Yueying, who gave me advice, and now she is also my sister-in-law."

"I've seen the girl!" Zhuge Liang held a feather fan, bowed slightly, and bowed.

"Mr. Kong Ming is reasonable!" Huang Yueying's heart was pounding.

Lin Yuan stood aside, watching the couple see each other again in this life, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

In order not to use the light bulb, he consciously left.

"What book is Mr. Kong Ming reading?"

After Lin Yuan left, Zhuge Liang and the others sat down, and Huang Yueying asked.

"The way of Confucius and Mencius, the doctrine of Huang Lao, are all involved!"
