Chapter 66: The Protector Army
It's not a strange thing for Liu Xuan to want to go to the palace in person, he has been cultivating for so long, he can't always hide in the palace, right? Not to mention that with his current strength, even if Lu Bu kills him in front of him, it is impossible for him to dare to say that he can kill himself, not to mention that there are so many guards around him? Those people are not decorations.
And because of the relationship between Yulin Cavalry, Zhang Liao needs to be next to him at any time, originally Zhang Liao's force was not bad, after this period of cultivation, the strength has risen to a new level, if it is according to the previous game setting, Zhang Liao's force will definitely break through the value of one hundred.
Lu Bu: That's not clear, but for now, he's still better than Zhang Liao.
After there was no problem with security, Liu Xuan wanted to see what kind of war was like in this era - although he had seen more spectacular wars, it didn't mean that he would not be interested in the war scenes of this era.
This is the same as thousands of years later, after the war has become a different look, there are still a large number of people who love the war scenes of thousands of years ago - the difference in the way of war is at most a different feeling, but it does not mean that it is not shocking enough.
What's more, the imperial expedition can also enhance the confidence of the princes of the imperial court in the emperor, although the premise is victory, Liu Xuan never thought that he would lose.
The strength of Li Dao and Guo Yan is indeed good, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they are all the elite of the Xiliang Army.
And because Xiliang is located in the northwest, not only is it frequently at war with the Xiongnu, but also Qiang Di provokes trouble in the west from time to time, so the soldiers of the Xiliang army are all battle-hardened soldiers, if there is no baptism of many civil strife, the forbidden army under the terrifying Liu Xuan is even inferior to the ordinary soldiers of the other party.
But now Liu Xuan has reorganized the forbidden army and expanded the establishment on a large scale, so that the forbidden army has become a professional soldier, and with the guarantee of sufficient training, although it cannot catch up with the Xiliang army in an instant, but with the command of the outstanding generals, it is not difficult to defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan.
What's more, there is Ma Teng behind Li Dao and Guo Yan, and when the time comes, if this battle cannot be won, then what kind of world is Liu Xuan still fighting for?
However, although this battle must be fought, and Liu Xuan will definitely fight in person, it will not be now, and it will have to be after next spring recently.
After all, it was only 190 A.D., there was no greenhouse effect, and the winter was very cold. In addition, the various warmth measures at this time are far inferior to later generations, even if they hide at home on weekdays, there are many frostbite, not to mention marching and fighting - fighting in winter, soldiers die less in battle, freeze to death more, and it is difficult to transport supplies, if it is easy to get lost in snow, and the cavalry can not exert its due power, in this case, there will be no war without special circumstances.
However, this period of time is suitable for the final preparations - the final training and reorganization of the soldiers, the creation of ordnance, the spear, long knife and other weapons are not said to be able to be used all the time after a shot, many weapons will be scrapped after only one battle, so a large number of weapons need to be prepared.
There are also arrows, as well as the requisition of the people who are ready to transport grain and grass - this point Liu Xuan has already given a suggestion, and in the future, when the people are needed in the big war, the county soldiers will be given priority - but Liu Xuan has no county soldiers now, so he has to recruit real people.
Fortunately, because of the chaos in the world, many people have gone to the Sili area to avoid trouble, and Liu Xuan ordered the recruitment of displaced people at the beginning of the year, so there is a shortage of others in the Jingzhao area, that is, there is no shortage of people.
Later, during this time, Liu Xuan and Lu Bu walked around the school field together, and Lu Bu was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a war, probably because he wanted to show his strength again, so that those clowns who jumped off the beam knew how powerful they were.
At the same time, Hu Benlang is getting stronger and stronger under the leadership of Lu Bu, and now he has a bit of the shadow of the world's elite, and Lu Bu has no exclusive credit for this, and explained to Liu Xuan: "The subordinate general Gao Shun is good at training, and he is very good at fighting vicious battles, and there are 800 strong soldiers in the hands of the ministers, all of whom are trained by him. ”
In fact, even if Lu Bu didn't say it, Liu Xuan also knew about Gao Shun, but he had never seen it, and today he could be regarded as seeing the real body.
Gao Shun looks ordinary, although he wears armor and armor, he still doesn't look like a general at a glance, but like an armored guard next to some generals, just such an inconspicuous person, but he is one of the most outstanding talents under Lu Bu's account.
If Liu Xuan wants to evaluate Lu Bu's subordinate generals, the most outstanding person should be Zhang Liao, because Zhang Liao is not only strong in martial arts, but also an excellent commander who can take charge on his own.
The second is Gao Shun, Gao Shun may not be able to be the commander of a single army, but he is a brave general who charges into battle, he is the kind of general who is better at leading a strong pawn to charge forward and solve the opponent's nails.
Of course, if only Gao Shun is so high, he can't be so highly evaluated, the key is that Gao Shun is good at training, which is not easy - although the generals know how to train at this time, there are not many who can train elite soldiers.
In Liu Xuan's memory, one is forbidden, and the other is Gao Shun - most of the remaining people who are good at training are those who can write and martial arts. But they are only trained to be good soldiers, not elite soldiers.
After seeing Gao Shun, Liu Xuan didn't promote him immediately, he was going to let Gao Shun make a few great achievements, and then he would have a formal reason to promote him.
Lu Bu didn't know that Liu Xuan was thinking about digging his corner, but pointed to a group of archers supervised by Cao Xing in the distance and said: "At present, the soldiers and horses are strong and the armament is complete, but this arrow is a little less, and we must take advantage of this time to make more arrows, so as not to be insufficient during the battle." ”
Bows and arrows have always had a high position in ancient warfare, and to some extent, they are even better than cavalry. Liu Xuan nodded when he heard this, and said to Zhang Rang, who was accompanying him: "Write it down, go back and send an edict to the Ministry of Industry, so that it can prepare the required ordnance as soon as possible." ”
At this time, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is Ma Riyan, this person is a master of scripture in the world, and he is also a well-known scribe, known as famous, originally Liu Xuan wanted to find a more suitable person to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, because this Ministry of Industry is a very important position in his plan, but there is no suitable candidate in the court at the moment, so he had to make Ma Riyan temporarily take this position, and then give up this position when he finds a technical madman in the future.
It's a pity that there are really not many technical freaks he can think of in this period, and it seems that Zhuge Liang is a technical master - even if Liu Ye came up with the catapult strategy when he was in Guandu, but the catapult was not invented by him, at most it was improved.
Thinking about it, it seems that you can only cultivate it on your own?
He took back his thoughts, took two more turns around the school grounds, and after saying a few more words to the rest of the school schools, he left the school field directly.
After reading the Tiger Benjun here, Liu Xuan went to Yulin Riding to take a look, Yulin Riding actually has nothing to look at here, Zhang Liao often patrols the palace, so he can ask Zhang Liao about anything nearby, at this time it was only a symbolic turn, and finally went to the forbidden army.
At this time, the forbidden army has been reorganized, and the 10,000-strong forbidden army has been training according to the drill code at this time, Liu Xuan looked at it, and did not express any opinion on it - after all, this kind of battle formation and training in the era of cold weapons, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song are all a few levels higher than themselves, so don't show your own things.
"However, the position of the Central Protector needs to be decided as soon as possible. ”
Liu Xuan then remembered that after the establishment of the Central Protector Army, this position was vacant, and there was never a suitable person to use it.
"Can you have a suitable person to recommend?"
Going back and forth, in the end, I can only rely on the big killer weapon of the Han Dynasty: Recommendation! to solve this problem.
Originally, Liu Xuan didn't expect these people to recommend any outstanding talents, so it was a big deal to deal with them first, and then change them when there was a suitable one in the future.
Unexpectedly, I really recommended someone Liu Xuan knew.
Lu Zhi hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty recruited Liu Bei, a student of the minister, into Beijing, and there has been no arrangement, so why not use him as the central protector?"
"Liu Bei?"
Liu Xuan was really taken aback, but he didn't expect Lu Zhi to recommend a great power to himself.
It is said that after Liu Bei came to Chang'an a while ago, because he had not been summoned by the emperor, he had to spend the night in Lu Zhi's mansion.
But...... Liu Bei is the protector of the army, it seems that there is nothing to do?
Anyway, for now, the vacancies in the court are not suitable for Liu Bei - because those titles are too high-end, and putting Liu Bei in a small position does not show his ability, it is better to put it in the army.
And the particularity of the position of the Central Protector Army, I am not worried that Liu Bei will support the army and respect himself, and when there is a suitable replacement candidate in the future, Liu Bei has also accumulated enough 'qualifications' in the position of the Central Protector Army, and when the time comes, he will be transferred to the court, so no one will say anything.
More importantly, if Liu Bei is appointed as the protector of the army, then his two brothers will go to serve in the forbidden army, isn't that equivalent to adding two peerless generals to himself in a different direction?
"Not to mention, it's a pretty good arrangement. ”
The more he thought about it, the more reliable it became, Liu Xuan rarely looked at Lu Zhi a lot, nodded in agreement: "I almost forgot about this, this Liu Bei is a suitable candidate." ”
Seeing what the emperor meant, Zhu Jun wondered whether the emperor's appointment of Liu Bei meant that he wanted to reuse his relatives? If this was the case, they would not be able to object.
What's more, Zhu Jun's impression of Liu Bei was not bad, and he said at this time: "I heard that this Liu Xuande is a relative of the Han family, if Your Majesty checks the genealogy, if it is true, you can also ask him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors......"
