Chapter 194: Three Choices, Three Paths
"Kill!"
Li Yan, who seems to be polite and polite, once he goes into battle, he is like a different person in an instant, and the melancholy caused by the world is swept away.
Facing Guo Rong, who was a whole size older than him, Li Yan, who was extremely stable, held a spear in his hand and walked forward quickly, the shot seemed unfast, but the moment he really shot out, it was as fast as lightning.
From holding the gun to rushing forward, then to the gun, stabbing, there are no bells and whistles, no flashing and moving, the process is fast, concise, and the gun is strong and powerful.
In a tough battle, to be honest, Li Yan couldn't beat Guo Rong, not because of his skills, but because the difference between height and body shape was too big, there was really no comparison between 75 kg and 100 kg, and Guo Rong was a cautious character.
Spears, spears, lances, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, swords and shields, when he used weapons to engage Li Yan in a round of confrontation, Guo Rong knew that he had picked up a treasure.
Because of these few simple steps, it can be seen that Li Yan is on the right path in the battle formation, and he is taking the momentum of a dignified battle formation.
Although the combat ability of individual soldiers is not as good as that of a tall person like Guo Rong, the role he can play in the battle formation is definitely not small.
More importantly, the art of war that Li Yan learned, whether it was to signal Li Guangbi or Li Jing, belonged to the kind of way of winning with the right match, which complemented Li Yan's thinking on the battle array.
In other words, Li Yan can be regarded as a combination of generals and commanders, no wonder he is highly respected by Pei Zhi.
Originally, when Guo Rong heard Pei Zhi's introduction that Li Yan was familiar with military books and was good at strategy, he was ready to use his power to directly recruit and directly let Li Yan take the line of staff officers like Luo Chinese and Pei Zhi.
But after the confrontation, Guo Rong's mind changed, such an all-rounder, if he finally joined the Changying Army as a staff officer, it would be a decision that he regretted extremely much.
After the confrontation, the soldiers went to unload their armor, and the three of them returned to the hall.
"I already know Erlang's situation, I don't hide it, I have the right to directly recruit Erlang into the Changying Army, but I believe that Erlang's ambition is no longer small, otherwise he will not return to the capital from Yingzhou."
Li Yan didn't speak, but the action of clenching his hands into fists already said it all.
"If it was last year, when the Changying Army had just been established and there was an extreme shortage of officers, I could indeed choose to let a talent like Erlang directly join the army and join the army as a captain, team leader or brigade commander."
"But after several bloody battles in Longshan, Longxi, and Longnan, after returning to Chang'an, Changyingjun has just perfected a set of promotion criteria, and His Majesty has approved it, and now I can give Erlang three paths to choose from."
"This, Erlang, it's true, if it's half a month earlier, ......"
"General, please."
"First, the Changying Army is different from other armies in the Tang Dynasty in that there is a special official position responsible for the culture, ideology, and concept education of the soldiers, and these are young students who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty after being trained by Han Changshi, serving as instructors in the regiment, instructors in the battalion, and political commissars in the army."
"Originally, this position was just an attempt by Han Yu, Han Changshi and me, but after the actual expedition, we found that these adjutants who did ideological work played a huge role in boosting morale and boosting spirits."
"In several bloody battles in Xiaoguan and Jingzhou, these instructors from the six schools of Guozi Supervisor, Guanzhong Prefecture and county government schools did not retreat, and almost all of the regimental instructors who joined the front line died in battle!"
"This part of the people must be both civil and military, have absolute loyalty to Datang, and pass the teaching and assessment of Han Changshi with Erlang's ability, I believe there is no problem, this is the first choice."
"I'd ...... if"
"Erlang, don't worry, listen to General Guo."
"Second, there are some full-time staff members in the Changying Army, such as Chang Shiluo Chinese, who is in charge of counsellor, and Sima Liu Yuxi, who is in charge of logistics, although they are full-time staff, they all use the official system of our Great Tang."
"Strictly speaking, Pei Zhi has always been my full-time staff officer, and he also belongs to this sequence."
"Third, it is to pass the rigorous recruit assessment of the Changying Army in the conventional way! Let's talk about this, Pei Zhi. ”
Guo Rong'an sat down quietly and drank tea, while Pei Zhi got up.
"Erlang, then you should be able to feel that the Changying Army mastered by General Guo is different from other Tang Dynasty troops."
"Not bad!"
"As the template of the forbidden army set by the Emperor Taishang and the Son of Heaven, the Changying Army is divided into four parts after actual combat testing, with 12,000 regular soldiers and 12,000 auxiliary soldiers, and they receive the same training."
"In addition, there are 6,000 specialized auxiliary soldiers, which are divided into reconnaissance battalions, cooking battalions, medical battalions, and engineer battalions, and will be assigned to the combat battalion in a certain proportion in wartime."
"In the plan, the regular soldiers are responsible for external operations, and the auxiliary soldiers are responsible for guarding Chang'an and the imperial city.
"If Erlang is ready to choose this path, he must first pass the selection and assessment of the Changying Army, become an auxiliary soldier after passing, and then become a regular soldier through training, and then be promoted step by step from the regular soldier, everything is subject to military merit, this road is the most difficult."
"The first battalion of the Changying Army, the No. 1 camp of Xiaoguan suffered more than sixty percent of the battle losses, and then participated in the Jingzhou defensive battle after being replenished and fully manned, and eighty percent of the battle losses were lost in the bloody battle under the city of Jingzhou, and the two battles were combined, 1,136 people were killed in the battle, and 363 people were seriously injured and retired."
"Of course, those who survived two bloody battles have at least three turns, and the lowest has become a team leader."
After Pei Zhi finished speaking, Guo Rong slowly got up.
"Actually, there is one thing that Pei Zhi hasn't mentioned just now, the Changying Army is the top priority of my two emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and the existing four armies of the Northern Ya are all rebuilt."
"The three armies of Tiance Army, Yulin Army, and Shenwei Army other than the Changying Army are all based on the Changying Army, and the core military academy generals are also drawn from the Changying Army."
"Therefore, whether it is the instructor in charge of ideological work, a staff officer, a member of the army, or a soldier, it has no impact on Erlang's future, and Erlang can seriously consider it in the three directions, and don't be too anxious to make a decision."
"Let's have a family banquet at noon, and I will personally take you to the camp of the Changying Army in the afternoon, and it is not too late to make a decision after seeing Han Changshi and seeing the true face of the Changying Army!"
Li Yan nodded in understanding, and then fell into thought, and at the same time, he saw Yan Qing, who was smiling, walking into the hall with Li Yan's wife He Shuang.
He Shuang walked to Li Yan's side, and Yan Qing said two words in Guo Rong's ear, which shocked Guo Rong.
"Husband, the intelligence bureau's action team you mentioned, I found the right person! Do you know who He Shuang is? ”
