Chapter 40: The Troubles of High One Gong

Li Zicheng's change of hexagram was something Li Yan didn't expect, and he was originally happily ready to wait for the head of the rear camp to further let go of his hands to transform the rear camp, but Li Zicheng poured a basin of cold water down.

Although Li Zicheng was appeased and asked Li Yan to appoint the first army of the former battalion as the envoy to watch the army, it sounds like he has entered the army.

But if you taste it carefully, it is not the case at all, first of all, let's talk about the military envoy, and the military envoy is Gu Junen's "made" official, collectively known as the general military envoy, in terms of official name, it is still quite retro, but its position is to observe the discipline of the first army and the training of the whole army.

It can be said that not only does it not have command power, but it is also a question of whether it can even influence decision-making, what is the place in the front battalion, and which of the various army leaders is not a bunch of military merits? Let Li Yan take care of the military appearance drill, isn't that no different from the air?

Li Yan was puzzled by what Li Zicheng had become, until Gu Junen's letter arrived, elaborating on his "heart of fist".

The angry Li Yan scolded, what did Gu Junen do with himself? Is it really his knife? Let himself go to the front camp to develop, so as to cultivate influence in the army for him, why didn't he go himself?

Yes, Gu Junen's move did not weaken Li Yan's idea, after all, Li Yan's momentum is too strong now, Li Zicheng is biased, the so-called literati are light, and the ghost knows if Gu Junen has suppressed his thoughts.

But now that the order has come down, Li Yan can only pinch his nose and admit that he has already eviled those military leaders, and Gu Junen's side can't do any more evil no matter what, otherwise he may have no place to stand in the camp.

Of course, there are fortunate things, Li Zijing was completely beaten by a military stick and his prestige was broken, and the rear camp couldn't stay anymore, so he was transferred to his side by Li Zicheng and replaced Liu Fangliang.

Liu Fangliang is an old veteran in the army, followed Li Zicheng all the way to fight loyalty, and now he has also achieved the position of managing the team, in addition to being able to recruit and fight, this person is rare and studious, and found a few old talents who were "captured" to teach themselves Wenmo, compared to most of the military leaders who only know how to kill, Liu Fangliang is quite handsome.

It is no wonder that Liu Fangliang later led an army to break into Zhili, responsible for cutting off Chongzhen's route to flee south, and although Liu Zongmin was trusted, he lacked the opportunity to lead the army alone.

Therefore, compared with the former camp who regarded Li Yan as a scholar who was grandiose, and looked at the rotten Confucianism who could only shake his lips, Liu Fangliang could see Li Yan's ability, and he also had a lot of respect for Li Yan.

At least this point, Li Yan is still relieved, he doesn't want people to go to politics, as long as Liu Fangliang Xiao Gui Cao follows, the Houying system runs for a while and forms its own underlying framework, it will not be so easy to be tampered with.

Of course, I am glad to be glad that there is no shortage of depression in my heart, and it just so happened that at this time, Gao Yigong came back with a disgraced face, so he took the initiative to take Gao Yigong to drink and have fun together.

Gao Yigong also wondered why Li Yan changed his temper today, and actually took the initiative to pull him to drink, after listening to Li Yan's story about the matter, Gao Yigong praised Li Yan quite a lot.

"I didn't see that you are still a man, Liu Xian's dog day should be killed, and it is good to kill! Li Zijing is not like a man, and he deserves to be replaced! Gao Yigong poured a sip of wine and said babblingly.

After taking a sip of wine, Gao Yigong sighed and said, "Brother, we are all the same fallen people now...... Each has its own bitter ......"

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, is there any bitterness in Gao Yigong? He is Li Zicheng's brother-in-law, a proper relative, and Li Jin is good friends, and he is considered the second-in-command of the rear camp, will such a character be bitter? Versailles!

Seeing Li Yan's disbelief, Gao Yigong was also very helpless, and spread his hands and said: "You see that I am very beautiful now, but I am not happy at all in my heart!" ”

"If you're not happy, then I'll wipe my neck early," Li Yan teased.

"You know a ball, I am the wife and brother of King Chuang, and I am majestic in the camp, but I don't know that I don't want to be King Chuang's wife and brother at all." Gao Yigong sighed and said.

"Why?" Li Yan was quite surprised, he was still unhappy to be a relative? It's a bit hypocritical.

"How can people like King Chuang show favoritism? I am his brother-in-law, even if I am the family of King Chuang, you have also seen how strict King Chuang treats his family, since I entered the camp, there is no chance of independent unification of the army...... It's not that Team Li treats me badly, it's just that it's really unpleasant to be like a clay sculpture in the army every day! Gao Yigong took another sip of wine and complained.

No wonder he complained, when he brought 10,000 people to vote for Li Zicheng, how majestic, his 10,000 people also injected vitality into Li Zicheng, but who knows, then Li Zicheng began to suppress him and threw him into the back camp for a long time.

It's not that Gao Yigong covets those powers, it's just that he is a military man, there is nothing to fight in the back camp, and he is not the chief officer, so he stands by Li Jin's side like a puppet all day long, which is quite boring.

"Alas, it's always good to let me go to the front camp to be a sentry," Gao Yigong said in a rambling manner.

Li Yan actually knows the pain of Gao Yigong, from the beginning to the climax of the entire camp, there is no role of Gao Yigong, and even Li Jin does not have much of a role, Gao Yigong has been acting as Li Jin's deputy, and Li Jin is mostly in a state of stay.

It wasn't until after the battle of a stone that the camp began to enter a trough, and the elite army had to rely on the rear camp, at this time Li Jin and Gao Yigong appeared on the stage of history, of course, Gao Yigong was still Li Jin's deputy.

It wasn't until Li Jin died of illness that Gao Yigong officially became the master of the army in the real sense, of course, at that time, he was also the chief officer of the camp, but unfortunately it didn't take long for him to die of an arrow in the process of pacifying Tusi......

If Gao Yigong knows his fate in the future, he is afraid that he will be even more desperate, as a military general, especially an ambitious general, who wants to be the first to be someone else's for the rest of his life?

"I don't know when it's a head on a day like this......" Gao Yigong raised his glass to Li Yan, and then took a bite.

Li Yan thought about it, Gao Yigong's words opened up a train of thought for him, Li Zicheng let himself go to the front camp to watch the army, but the front camp is absolutely impossible, the reason is very simple, the front camp is all proud soldiers, and they all have their own set of rules and systems, and they are an outlier when they go in, even if they can be integrated in the end, it will take unimaginable cost and time.

But now, the Guanjun makes itself a sure thing, so why not just form a system yourself? Now the most important thing to break into the camp is people, and there are also a lot of strong people among the large number of displaced people, these people will be used as cannon fodder to attack the city in the future, rather than such a waste, wouldn't it be better to select a hundred thousand people from them and form a new army?

Moreover, he can invite himself to serve as the observer of this new army, so that he will not go to the front camp to be angry with that team, of course, he can't say this himself, he has to say it by Gao Yigong.

So Li Yan knocked on the desk and asked in a deep voice: "Lao Gao, in fact, there is a chance to lead an army by himself......"

Gao Yigong was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Li Yan, and asked drunkly, "What chance?" Now the camp is a radish and a pit, and the old eight teams are all old, even if they die for two more rounds, they won't be able to take my turn. ”

"Who said they were going to the Old Eighth Team?" Li Yan knocked on the case and refuted.

"And what do you mean?" Gao Yigong was stunned and seemed thoughtful.

"Let's pull a team up by ourselves, and when the time comes, you will be the commander-in-chief, wouldn't it be beautiful for me to come to watch the army?" Li Yan slowly said his plan.

"If it doesn't work, it won't work" Gao Yigong shook his head again and again, and said: "I don't know how to train soldiers, and it's no problem to lead troops to rush into battle, but I really don't understand how to train soldiers." ”

"It's okay, you can learn if you don't understand, what's more, you can't train the army, so I'll practice." Li Yan continued to bewitch.

Gao Yigong still refused worriedly when he heard this: "There are no soldiers?" What's more, now that the soldiers are already customized, if this is the beginning, won't everyone have to pull a troop up? ”

"If you don't train soldiers and train the homeless, you don't need to be subordinate to the front battalion, but to the rear battalion," Li Yan explained.

This is actually worth playing, first talk about the difference between the soldiers and the homeless, according to the order of the army, when attacking the city, the homeless pioneers, who can go through a few battles without dying, can be called soldiers, that is, soldiers who can fight a little field, these soldiers will supervise the homeless siege after the homeless.

When the homeless people can't stand it, at this time the soldiers will rush, and the soldiers standing behind the soldiers are Li Zicheng's family background, which is also the elite of the army, the old eighth team, and the entire elite is only more than 2,000 people now.

If you don't train soldiers, training homeless people is a very fucked up option, because homeless people often suffer the most casualties in war, and the soldiers you train are quickly consumed, so you won't have any elite in your hands.

Besides, subordinate to the rear battalion, the logistics supply of the front battalion is the most complete, and the rear battalion is the most stretched, belonging to the rear battalion means that the treatment and status are lower, it can be said that there is you when attacking the city, you have to be behind the palace when retreating, and there is no share of you when pursuing, and it has nothing to do with you when rewarding......

This kind of play, even if the military leaders know, they will definitely not be willing, everyone leads the troops to say that they have a lineage, and Li Yan's suggestion is obviously to have a low profile to the point where he doesn't even want a lineage.

Gao Yigong really hesitated when he heard this, if he really said according to Li Yan, he can indeed be a coach, but he may be the coach of the "cannon fodder team", what is the point of such a coach?

"Lao Gao, an army, even if it is no longer taken seriously, no matter how low the quality of the soldiers is, as long as the law is practiced, it can become an elite. Don't sweep the world and open the Han Society? There are too many such examples to count, so what is there to hesitate about? Li Yan encouraged.

Actually, there is a reason why Li Yan is willing to do this.

The military structure of the camp is based on the lack of talent and soil for training in the camp, and the entire camp can be called capable of training, and even so, the training is concentrated on the training of cavalry, such as cavalry archery.

The training of infantry, musketeers, artillerymen, etc. is a huge shortcoming, and out of this consideration of military reality, the invading army has to take the displaced people as the precursor to reduce the losses of its own elite.

But Li Yan is different, he is a plug-in role, he doesn't necessarily know everything about military training, but at least he is clear about one or two, not to mention training into a Qi family army, at least training an army with strict orders and prohibitions, he is still confident, and he can be disciplined and orderly in advance and retreat, which is a first-class strong army in this era.

Seeing Li Yan's firm eyes, combined with Li Yan's various impressive operations after entering the camp, Gao Yigong decided that he should believe Li Yan once, after all, he is a "genius", since he said so, there must be a reason for him.

So Gao Yigong nodded heavily and said: "Okay, then I will believe you, tomorrow I will write to the king, and I will say that I will select accurate training from the homeless people!" ”
