Chapter 430: The Ninth Division
Hearing Zhang Bao's bold remarks, Su Li was startled and said, "General Zhang, will this work?" You know, each tribe has always been their own person responsible for protecting the safety of the tribe, if people from other tribes are allowed to enter their tribe, will they be able to get along? And will the people of the other tribes do their best to keep them safe? ”
"This" Zhang Bao said to him, a little embarrassed and angry, he said: "If it doesn't work, you don't care, anyway, you just do it."
Su Li was speechless at this time, the official level crushed people to death, no matter what Zhang Bao said was reasonable or not, his ideas were unreliable, as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, he issued a combat order to the Xianbei cavalry, so Su Li had to carry it out, otherwise it would be disobedience.
It's not that Su Li didn't think about disobedience or disobedience, but, when you think about it, it's too dangerous to do so. Now that his tribe is attached to the Han Dynasty, it is the situation that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Maybe people are thinking of completely solving their own "woes", but because the teacher is unknown, they haven't done it. The Han people are the most flowery, maybe Zhang Bao said this on purpose, but in fact, he secretly set a trap waiting for him to drill it.
The more Su Li thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and secretly decided that he must do what Zhang Bao said, and not let people catch the handle and rectify himself. Even though this is likely to bring great disasters to the tribes of the Hetao, he still understands the truth that the friends of the dead Dao do not die and the poor Dao do not die.
No matter how many people from those tribes die, it has nothing to do with him, as long as it is not the people of his own tribe who die, where can he manage so many other things. Even if Zhang Bao said any measures to protect the armor and the people, he didn't need to think about it, because those things were naturally done by the civil affairs officials sent by the imperial court.
All they need to do is to kill, to conquer, to eliminate all those who refuse to prostrate at the feet of the Han Dynasty, and to remove all instability. For this reason, he may have to bear the infamy of being a butcher and the infamy of a traitor to the grassland, but for the safety of his own tribe and the survival of the Xianbei people, he has to do so.
A few days after this banquet, Su Li took the 20,000 remnants of Xianbei under his command and set off to carry out Zhang Bao's sweeping mission in the Hetao area. Originally, there were still thousands of Xianbei cavalry under Chang'an City who were responsible for "blocking the city gate", and there were also thousands of men and horses guarding the prisoners under the nameless hill who were being reorganized, and these two groups of people combined had tens of thousands of horses.
However, Su Li didn't dare to mention that these people would come back, and now these two groups of Xianbei people are directly under Zhang Bao's orders, which is equivalent to being swallowed up by Zhang Bao silently. Similarly, he didn't dare to mention the matter of competing with Jiang Wei again, after Zhang Bao's beating, he decided that he would still be a man with his tail between his legs in the future, and if he continued to make trouble, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around.
Jiang Wei's troops were reorganized in accordance with the consistent rules of the Hong Army in the same place, and Zhang Bao mobilized a large number of troops to join this army, gradually controlling this army in the hands of the imperial court. Within a few days, the reward from the imperial court arrived, and Liu Hou gave the unit an official name: the Ninth Division, and Jiang Wei served as the commander of the Ninth Division.
Jiang Wei was grateful, and immediately expressed his gratitude. Jiang Wei really needs to be grateful, which is something that has never been done, which represents the emperor's absolute trust in Jiang Wei. In the past, generals who were captured or surrendered were basically stripped of their real power, and then they were assigned to the staff headquarters of a certain unit as an operational staff officer or as a deputy in the army.
The purpose of letting them take up these idle posts is to let them learn more about the discipline and rules of the Hong Army, to be familiar with the advanced management methods of the Hong Army, and most importantly, to accept ideological transformation. After the transformation, they still have the opportunity to take up real posts in the army, but, generally speaking, this time will not be short, after all, it is not easy for a person to completely change his thinking and concepts.
Even Sima Yi is no exception, for a long time, he is just a similar adviser to the role, the emperor encountered any problems, he summoned him to inquire, discuss, after the discussion, what should he do when he goes back. In normal times, he doesn't have much power, he can't mobilize the strength of a platoon, and he can't exert influence on a small sesame mung bean officer.
Of course, as he joined the Shu Han group for longer and longer, Liu Hou also reused him more and more, and his status in the Shu Han court continued to improve, but until now, he was still a role like a military advisor, and Liu Hou still had no intention of letting him out to lead the troops alone.
Like Jiang Wei, it is not for nothing that he will serve as the real power of a division as soon as he returns to Shun, but it is definitely rare. Su Li can also be regarded as the commander of a force, but that is because his 50,000 cavalry are all Xianbei people, and if he wants to command this pure Xianbei army, he must be Su Li.
But everyone knows that this is only temporary, it is very difficult for these 50,000 Xianbei cavalry to be reorganized, and now that the war is not over, there is not much time to spend a lot of effort to reorganize, so they have to keep this army temporarily, because of this, Su Li's command position is actually only temporary.
The key is that it can be seen from the number that the difference between relatives and sparseness is that the 50,000 cavalry of Su Li has a completely different status in the Hong Army sequence than Jiang Wei's Ninth Division. Now everyone believes that only the troops numbered according to the numbers can be regarded as the authentic Hong army and the emperor's descendants, so the first division to the ninth division can be regarded as the first-line troops of the Han army.
Like the Xianbei cavalry, their number is "Shunyi Army", and there is no number number, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a second-line army in the Han army, and the logistics army under the command of Zhu Bao has about the same status. Of course, it is still a little different, Zhu Bao's original troops were directly baggage soldiers at the beginning, and later upgraded to "security guards" to protect baggage soldiers, no matter what kind of troops, they rarely can get a battle anyway.
However, since the Xianbei cavalry returned to Shu Han, it has been constantly fighting, so, to be more precise, the Xianbei cavalry is a coercive army. His subordinates are coerced subordinate troops, and the status of Su Li, the commander, is naturally not much higher, so even if he has more men and horses than Zhang Bao, he must be controlled by Zhang Bao, the division commander, and obey Zhang Bao's instructions in everything.
To put it mildly, his treatment in the Northern Route Army was not as good as that of a regiment commander in the First Division. But Jiang Wei is different, he became a division commander on an equal footing with Zhang Bao, although the status of the first division is definitely higher than that of the ninth division, but, in terms of administrative establishment, the two are the same, both armies are first-line main divisions, and both are division commanders.
