Chapter 395: Title

"You've already lost...... I'll take three hundred men and push your camp! Lu Bu waved his hand on the sand table again.

Xu Shu: ......

Facing Lu Bu's threatening eyes, what else could Xu Shu say?

"The general is brave!"

It is true that the two are not the same style, Xu Shu is not a military general after all, and prefers to command in the rear, while Lu Bu is better at taking the lead in charging and fighting on the battlefield as a general, and the two sides are good at different directions.

Generally speaking, the commander in charge of the strategy can be described as the top in charge of a 100,000-strong army, and it seems that Han Xin, a soldier immortal, is even more "the more the merrier", and if he takes the lead in rushing into battle as a general...... Xiang Yu of that year, the most glorious battle, was only the commander of 30,000 cavalry.

It's just that these 30,000 cavalry broke more than 500,000 coalition troops in Pengcheng!

The current Lu Bu, the most army he can lead is not higher than this number, and if there are tens of thousands of troops, he must have a systematic command after all.

When Bai Tu asked his father-in-law to assess Xu Shu, he specially won the rule of 10,000 to 10,000 for Xu Shu, which were all basic ordnance and warfare in the wild......

It is true that in terms of military formation, Xu Shu is superior, especially the advantage that Xu Shu is better at breaking the formation, but in fact, he does not play much in the face of Lu Bu.

After all, Lu Bu mainly kills with light cavalry, and it is often a simple cone-shaped formation.

But even so, Lu Bu was still forced to use a "stunt" - I have taken the lead in the charge, you have lost!

Xu Shu did lose.

He seemed to be rough with his troops before, but he had been cautious, fighting for the charging space to encircle Lu Bu and weaken the opponent's mobile troops, and he had a long gun and heavy shield ready at all times......

However, it is true that when Lu Bu finally charged, he first bypassed or led away to disperse these arrangements.

"Hahaha, you're not bad either, huh...... It's a pity that the miscellaneous generals are not good at sealing now, but since the king has entrusted you with important tasks, I believe that it will not be too much to make meritorious contributions, so the army will first hang up the post of general, and then arrange for the release of the Ministry of Industry after the matter is over. Lu Bu patted Xu Shu's shoulder and said.

While Xu Shu was slapped grinning slightly, he should also be appointed by Lu Bu.

It is not surprising that there is no general, after all, Xu Shu's previous reputation was limited and he had no experience in the ranks, in this case, it was difficult to directly seal the general in the Chu State, and General Pi was already the result of Lu Bu's own recognition of Xu Shu, and he knew that Bai Tu entrusted him with important tasks.

At this time, the military of Chu State was respected by the Privy Council, and each room in the courtyard was biased towards the overall planning of civilian duties, and the military rank in the army was to take the four expeditions as the precious, the four towns as the second, and then the general of Si'an, and then ...... is a lot of miscellaneous generals, and General Pi and General Yamen are candidates for miscellaneous numbers.

The lieutenant general is a general of the local garrison, which is above the miscellaneous number, but only leads the local standing garrison, or trains new troops.

As for the big titles such as general, chariot general, and hussar general, like the three dukes and the three divisions, they belong to the nature of honorary titles and have no real power.

And......

It is rumored in the military that the Privy Council is already soliciting the opinions of senior generals in planning for the restructuring, and it is said that after the restructuring, whether it is the four levies or miscellaneous names, they will all be similar to "honorary titles", and the actual positions will be arranged separately.

In fact, it is also the separation of ranks.

It sounds new, but at this time, the implementation is only considered to have come into being, not to be rushed.

"Military rank" is generally considered to be a professional military system that emerged in Europe in the 16th century, but during the Three Kingdoms period, there were signs of separation of ranks in the Wei, Shu and Wu armies.

It's just that it generally only appears at the level of "general", without a clear concept of promotion, and is closer to "honor", not like modern military ranks, starting from the lowest soldier and having a clear hierarchy.

The main reason is that in the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the positions in the army were chaotic, and the generals and miscellaneous generals grabbed a lot of them, and it was not good to get rid of other people's generals for no reason, so during the Wei, Shu and Wu periods, such as the Shu Han Dynasty, it was to take the four expeditions and four towns, and the miscellaneous names were biased as military ranks, which had nothing to do with the actual position, and the specific power in the army was to look at the military positions of military division, leader, supervisor, and protector......

It's just that because the positions of four expeditions and four towns will not be awarded to two people at the same time, it is closer to the concept of honor.

Bai Tu took the opportunity to discuss with Lu Bu and other senior generals and military advisors, thoroughly implemented the separation of ranks, and directly determined a complete military rank system, in fact, it is also logical, it is different from the proposal for the city wall, on the contrary, everyone is very supportive, and it has reached the stage of detailed discussion before the specific implementation.

Xu Shu had just joined, but he didn't know about these "gossip", but he was also very satisfied with the arrangement of the Privy Council and Bai Tu's trust, and was full of ambition for the future......

Seeing that Xu Shu had won Lu Bu's approval, Bai Tu also introduced him to the other Chu State Tongji who accompanied him.

Originally, Bai Tu wanted him to return to the Jinling Ministry of Industry first, but after thinking about it, Xu Shu's ability to communicate and travel is a strong point, and in terms of terminology, it is very attractive!

And I have been studying in Nanyang for a period of time, since I want to recruit talents in Nanyang, why not take Xu Shu first?

Maybe there is also a success rate bonus......

"Yuan Zhi, when you were in Nanyang, did you know Zhuge Liang who lived in seclusion in Longzhong?" Bai Tu asked Xu Shu.

Zhuge Liang should be in Longzhong now, but whether Xu Shu has befriended him, Bai Tu is unknown.

"Huh?" Huang Chengyan made a sound first, which surprised Bai Tu a little.

Xu Shu originally wanted to say something, but when he saw that Mr. Huang seemed to be about to speak, he looked at him first - the current Xu Shu is open-minded and true temperamental, but he is not rude.

"Master Huang knows?" Bai Tu also asked.

Originally, Bai Tu asked Huang Yueying in private and confirmed that she had no fiancé, so she always thought that Lao Huang didn't know Zhuge Liang yet, so the lights were dark!

"Who did the king listen to about Kong Ming?" Huang Chengyan also wondered, he had just mentioned it to Huang Yueying before, but Huang Yueying didn't pay attention to it at all, and then he served in the Chu State, so he didn't mention it again...... Huang Yueying shouldn't know Zhuge Liang.

"Didn't you go to visit Pang Degong and Sima Hui before, and listen to them talk about it." Bai Tu pulled out the previous excuse.

"They recommend Kong Ming to the king?" Huang Chengyan's tone was full of puzzlement.

He was also very familiar with Pang Degong and Sima Hui, but because he expected that the two would not be in office, he only reminded Bai Tu in advance, and did not go together, so as not to be embarrassed by Bai.

It is precisely because of familiarity that Huang Chengyan feels that they should not recommend Zhuge Liang to Bai Tu.

"Oh, I heard about it on the way, and then I asked the two of them...... Ahem, it was because he didn't recommend this person to me in the first place, so I paid some extra attention. Bai Tu was domineering to the president's tone, "Kong Ming, you have attracted my attention", and then immediately grabbed the topic and said: "Bachelor Huang also recognizes?" ”

Huang Chengyan hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhuge Kongming is indeed a genius in the world, a certain view...... I am a great Chu who can beat him, but three or three twos, and those who can be weighed together are not more than two hands, and he only won the crown last year, if it is ten or twenty years later, ......"
