After three rounds of drinking, the officials left.

None of them were drunk, and everyone had something on their hearts.

They clearly knew in their hearts that the emperor was ready to expand the army, and it was not easy to be regarded as a stable Dayan, and it may be about to expand externally.

External expansion is not bad, but it is too fast for Dayan's current strength.

It's too much.

After all, Dayan's heritage is not enough, so it will naturally take longer to digest those new territories.

To put it bluntly, Dayan's talent pool is too small now.

Although Tang Tingbai has universalized nine-year compulsory education, it will take seven or eight years for those children to grow up and become talents.

Dayan needs time.

……

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Tang Tingbai sat on a mahogany chair, and there were fourteen people sitting opposite him.

Lu Bu, commander of the First Army.

Huang Zhong, commander of the Second Army.

Zhou Yu, commander of the Third Army.

Zhao Yun, commander of the Fourth Army.

Guan Yu, commander of the Fifth Army.

Ma Chao, commander of the Sixth Army.

Commander of the Seventh Army, Su Lie.

Meng Tian, commander of the Eighth Army.

Li Xin, commander of the Ninth Army.

The commander of the three battalions, Mulan.

The leader of the Great Yan Dragoon Legion, Guiguzi!

Templar Legion Commander Xiang Yu.

Charlotte, the head of the God Guard.

Jinyiwei commanded Li Yuanfang.

Tang Tingbai looked at everyone and smiled: "Everyone, you should all know that Nan Chen and Nan Han will send six million troops to Dayan within ten days, plus the two and a half million troops that our Dayan originally had, adding up to eight and a half million, this number is already quite terrifying, and the Ministry of War has recently trained 500,000 elite soldiers, adding up to nine million soldiers and horses, do you say that these soldiers and horses will be distributed to your various legions, or will a new legion be established?" ”

This......

After listening to Tang Tingbai's words, more than a dozen people looked at each other.

Li Yuanfang, Charlotte and Xiang Yu glanced at each other, they all shrugged their shoulders indifferently, obviously this kind of thing has nothing to do with them.

At this time, Lu Bu took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, at present, although there are a lot of talents in the army, but now there are so many legions in the Great Yan State, if a new legion is established, the people of Great Yan and the military department may also be confused, besides, our current legions are completely enough, I think that those soldiers and horses are incorporated into our various legions, in this case, those armies of Nanchen and Nanhan will not dare to make a mistake." ”

Zhao Yun nodded: "Your Majesty, your subordinates also think so, even if Nan Chen and Nan Han send troops over, those troops will definitely not be convinced, only by letting them join the original army of Dayan, relying on our soldiers to brainwash them, let them subtly join the Dayan army in their hearts, and fight for Dayan willingly, can they give full play to their greatest combat effectiveness." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhong also stood up with a smile.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates completely agree with the words of Commander Zhao Yun and Commander Lu Bu, it is enough for our various regiments to set up some new reinforced divisions, each legion is 800,000 horses, and 20 reinforced divisions can be formed, each division is 30,000 people."

"Our Dayan is growing too fast now, so it has led to too few middle-level and high-level commanders, and we can just take advantage of this opportunity to train a large number of talents, so that it will not take a few years, and the talents in our Dayan army will definitely have a qualitative leap."

After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Tang Tingbai nodded, I have to say, Huang Zhong's words are very reasonable.

Although among the generals of Dayan, there are many excellent ones.

There are also many rising stars.

But there is an old saying, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

Compared with the local generals of Dayan, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and other kings and heroes, the gap is not ordinary.

If you do a test paper, Dayan's local generals can get sixty points, while the king hero can get full marks.

One hundred and fifty points of the test paper, this is the gap.

This is also the reason why Tang Tingbai does not plan to set up a new legion, because Dayan's local generals' abilities are too much worse than those of the king heroes.

At present, it is indeed a little inappropriate for these people to manage a corps, but if they are a division commander commanding 30,000 or 40,000 people, there is no big problem.

In this way, they can also develop their abilities.

Thinking of this, Tang Tingbai looked at the others: "What about your opinions?" ”

Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, and Ma Chao stood up together: "The subordinates have no opinion." ”

Su Lie, Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Hua Mulan stood up in unison: "The subordinates have no opinion." ”

This is a great thing for their legion, so naturally they don't have any ideas.

At this time, Guiguzi stood up, a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the training and cooperation of the Great Yan Dragon Rider is already very tacit, if you add more people in, your subordinates can train, but the time is longer, and if there are more people, it will be difficult to cooperate, so the subordinates feel that the Great Yan Dragon Riding is not suitable for adding more people." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was a little surprised, and even looked at Guiguzi in disbelief.

They were all desperate to stuff some people into their legions.

But Guiguzi is not rare.

Lu Bu smiled: "Father-in-law, since the commander of the Guiguzi Army doesn't want it, then give his share to our first army, the child can eat it." ”

Tang Tingbai glanced at Lu Bu helplessly, when he was on business just now, Lu Bu called himself the emperor, and now he sees that he is still profitable, and he is called his father-in-law.

Eight hundred hearts.

If each legion were to be expanded to 800,000 men, ten legions would be 8 million.

Coupled with the 500,000 Great Yan Dragons of Guiguzi, it means that there are 500,000 more people now.

No matter if these soldiers and horses are given to any of the ten legions, although the rest of the generals will not say anything on the surface, they will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts.

After all, this is not a few horses, a few sheep, that is a full army of 500,000.

With these people, many legions have the confidence to compete with the First Legion, or even surpass the First Legion.

Tang Tingbai looked at Xiang Yu: "Xiang Yu, are you interested in expanding the Temple Army to 500,000 people?" ”

What???

Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Xiang Yu's eyes widened.

Even his breathing became a lot heavier.

He naturally hoped that he would be able to command an army of 500,000 to fight on the battlefield.

However, he has never had the experience of commanding a large army, so does the emperor really feel at ease to hand over such an army to himself?

Xiang Yu took a few deep breaths and forced the excitement in his heart: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are willing to try." ”

Tang Tingbai stood up and patted Xiang Yu's shoulder with satisfaction, his eyes were full of appreciation: "Do a good job, I am optimistic about you, I will give you a task to surpass the first army within three years, are you confident?" ”

This......

Xiang Yu hesitated.

However, he still nodded: "Please rest assured that the emperor will guarantee that his subordinates will complete the task!" ”

Although he doesn't have much confidence in his heart, since the emperor has said so, he works hard.

And Lu Bu also looked at Xiang Yu with a smile: "Old Xiang, work hard, in three years, my first army will definitely not stagnate." ”

Tang Tingbai looked at Charlotte: "From now on, the Divine Guards will be responsible for the security of the palace and me. ”

Charlotte nodded.

"Yuan Fang, I took out 500 million taels of silver from the royal treasury, and your task is to install Jinyiwei's eyeliner in many countries on the mainland within eight months, and I want to be accurate to the county seat, and have my own intelligence system, understand?" Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang, his eyes were full of solemnity.

Li Yuanfang immediately stood up, his eyes were full of excitement: "Please rest assured that the emperor will ensure that his subordinates will complete the task." ”

After speaking, Li Yuanfang's breathing was a lot heavier.

The number of their Jinyi guards is not large, after all, the Jinyi guards are not regular troops, and they don't need so many people.

500 million silver, so much money, for a while, Li Yuanfang didn't know that we should spend it.

Looking at everyone, Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction.

He was just about to speak, but at that moment, the voice of the system came......
