After listening to Chen Guan's introduction to the changes in Luoyang, Shang Ji was speechless for a long time.

When he left Luoyang, he expected that there might be chaos in Luoyang, after all, more than ten princes rubbed their guns every day, and it was a miracle that there would be no chaos!

However, Shang Ji really didn't expect that the chaos in Luoyang would be so big, and the four princes before and after died in the turmoil. It is extremely ironic that when Dong Zhuo was defeated at the beginning, there were only two princes who died in the whole battle, and the number of princes who died in civil strife was twice as many as after the crusade against Dong!

If Dong Zhuo was still alive, I don't know how he would feel at this time.

After being silent for a while, Shang Ji spoke: "Continue to maintain the monitoring of the princes, starting from today, Cao Cao will be promoted to the highest monitoring level, Diao Chan, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu are tied for the second rank, and Gongsun Zan and Han Fu will be monitored according to wartime standards, and they will control their latest movements anytime and anywhere." ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Chen Guan nodded heavily and said.

Shang Ji admired Cao Cao's courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, Luoyang is an opportunity, but also a big pit, if you can't use Luoyang's special political status to grow your strength rapidly, Boss Cao's investment is very likely to be lost. And in the current situation, once Boss Cao falls, including several princes in the Kwaicheng Alliance, many people don't mind stepping on it, and failure is an abyss.

"By the way, has Gongsun Chan made any changes recently?"

mentioned Gongsun Zhan, Shang Ji was a little curious about what this poor guy who once betrayed the princes and lost all his blood in the end is doing now.

When Shang Ji was still in Luoyang before, Gongsun Zhan saw that the situation was not good, and quickly withdrew his troops and returned to the base camp in Youzhou. and tried to take advantage of the gap in the absence of Shang Ji to preemptively attack Pingzhou.

However, as expected, it hit a full head in the Lulong Fortress.

Pingzhou has established a perfect defense system, even if Shang Ji and many main generals are hanging outside, it is not something that a mere Gongsun Zan can shake.

After losing troops under the Lulong Fortress, seeing Shang Ji leading the troops back to Pingzhou, Gongsun Zan was so frightened that he immediately led the troops back and prepared to defend the city.

However, as soon as Shang Ji came back, he began to reform the military system, and he had no time to deal with him for the time being, which made Gongsun Zhan, who was worried all day, relax a little.

"Lord Qiqi, since the defeat in Lulong Fortress, Gongsun Chan has temporarily lurked, wantonly looting the residents under his rule and expanding the army. According to the report, because of Gongsun Zhan's excessive looting, many people in Youzhou could not afford the heavy taxes, so they secretly moved to Pingzhou. ”

"Oh? How could there be such a thing? Inform Pan Feng to assist these relocated residents as much as possible to protect their safety, and inform Hongzhu that he should send people to properly resettle these people. ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Shang Ji is not afraid of Gongsun Zhan's madness, but he is afraid that he is not crazy enough.

With the people's strength in Youzhou, even if you are crazy and overdrawn, how many troops can you build? And how many of these improvised armies are elite who can fight?

The number of troops can also give Gongsun Chan some false sense of security, and when there is a real war, it is a castle on the beach, and the big waves will immediately disappear.

As long as the time is right, he led an elite army to defeat the main force of Gongsun Zhan's small descendants, and the others can even be passed on.

For Shang Ji, what needs to be done now is to practice internal skills and wait for the time to come.

After Chen Guan retired, Shang Ji continued his previous planned itinerary and went to the barracks to inspect the restructuring of the army.

The details of the military restructuring are controlled by Liu Yi, and Shang Ji is only responsible for things in the general direction, and now half a month has passed, and half of the January period of Shang Ji's restriction has passed, and it is time to see the results.

The military deployment of the Shang army was similar to that of the Ming and Song dynasties in history, adopting the strategy of strong cadres and weak branches, most of the main forces were concentrated near Xiangping, and only the Lulong Fortress, the grassland capital protectorate, Chenzhou and other strategic places were arranged with an appropriate amount of the main army.

Shang Ji's trip was to a huge military camp in Xiangping.

Inside and outside Xiangping, there are a total of twelve giant military camps, three of which are inside the city and nine are outside the city. Of the three in the city, only one is in the inner city, and the other two are in the outer city.

According to the latest plan, only the Praetorian Guards of Shang Ji and a small number of security forces in the inner city were stationed in the inner city, and most of the troops were stationed in the remaining eleven military camps.

According to the system, one giant military camp can train and live for 800,000 troops, 12 giant military camps are enough for 9.6 million troops, and the total number of troops gathered in Xiangping is less than 5 million, which is quite generous to use.

Because the scope of the reform of the army this time is very wide, all the legions based on the arms have been scattered, a large number of troops need to be adjusted, and the wide galloping roads are full of galloping troops, and those who don't know may think that there is a war.

Knowing that Shang Ji was coming, Liu Yi led a group of senior generals to wait at the gate of the barracks early.

After greeting him, Shang Ji dismounted and walked ahead, Liu Yi was half a position behind, and the others followed.

"Brother, how's the progress? Will it be possible to complete the reform of the military system within the specified time? ”

Among the twenty-four combat corps, the first to ninth legions have been preliminarily adjusted, the tenth to eighteenth legions are still being adjusted, and the nineteenth to twenty-fourth legions have not yet begun. The main reason is that according to the plan, nineteen and twenty ...... The twenty-four and other six legions were stationed in the grassland capital protectorate, Chenzhou, and Lulong fortress.

Because these positions are too critical, and the adjustment of the military system at the same time may lead to a gap in combat effectiveness, which is not conducive to the stability of the region, the last general plans to wait for the adjustment of other legions to be completed, and then start the adjustment of these legions to avoid chaos. ”

Shang Ji nodded again and again when he heard this: "Well, my brother is very thoughtful, and the adjustment of the army in these regions needs to be done cautiously." According to the elder brother, the combat adjustment of these six legions has been postponed for the time being, and the adjustment of these legions will be carried out after the adjustment of the eighteen legions has been completed. ”

After speaking, Shang Ji looked at Liu Yi again, and asked with a smile: "Brother, how is the combat effectiveness of the newly adjusted army?" The purpose of reforming the military system is to enhance our combat effectiveness, and if our combat effectiveness does not rise but falls, then the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"The lord can rest assured that the new corps has a more reasonable configuration of arms and arms, is more able to adapt to the complex combat environment, and is more convenient and quick to dispatch and command, and there is absolutely no possibility of reducing combat effectiveness. Now the newly adjusted legion is still in the run-in period, and after the run-in period, according to the proposal of the lord, two large-scale military exercises will be held, and the combat effectiveness can be intuitively reflected. ”

"Okay, well, my brother is naturally relieved to do things, although my brother lets go, if he encounters any difficulties, tell me directly, let's work together to develop Pingzhou's cause higher."
