Chapter 26: The Flavors of Life
Second, although there are only more than 4,000 people in the first cavalry battalion, it is necessary to distinguish according to the different characteristics of each soldier and general, and form different combat units, so that they can give full play to their greatest power in battle.
First of all, we need to cultivate an elite scout army, cavalry field warfare, the most important source of information has to rely on scouts to obtain, and most of today's military despise scouts, thinking that scouts are just patrolling everywhere, why Generalissimo Mo Xie was able to win the battle in the past, is that he attaches importance to the collection of intelligence, and has created an elite scout force, so we must change this, we need the most elite soldiers in the army to do scouts. Secondly, the combat units are divided into two groups, one group is a fighter who dares to fight, and will not be afraid of death when facing the enemy, and the other group is a cavalry and archery unit, which moves quickly and shoots far, and destroys the enemy's living force as much as possible in the charge and maneuver. ”
Chen Yuanjun was very satisfied when he heard it, this is exactly the same as his original intention, especially in groups, Chen Yuanjun has long had this idea in his heart.
In the army management book written by Nangong Xingyu, even how many people in the barracks should be matched with how many gang leaders, how weapons should be maintained, how the dragon horses should be fed, how often to change posts in the camp, etc., are listed in detail, and Chen Yuanjun has a big head for a while, and it seems that the goal of strengthening the army will take a long time to complete.
Chen Yuanjun began to formally restructure the first cavalry battalion, and the two commanders were respectively served by two hundred households who had been with him from the left cavalry guard.
He also selected two hundred soldiers from the whole army who were proficient in cavalry warfare and quick thinking to form a scout team, Liu Can had a clear mind and a calm mind, and it was just right to command the scouts.
Chen Yuanjun also selected 2,000 soldiers who were tall and strong and good at riding and fighting to be commanded by Shi Ziyao, as sharp knives to charge into battle, and sharp weapons to attack the city and pull out the village.
The rest of the soldiers were commanded by Zhan Yun to train cavalry and archery, improve the tacit understanding of cooperation during the march, and maximize the combat effectiveness.
And Chen Yuanjun went around the city of Longwei Pass in order to raise weapons of a unified standard, first went to the quartermaster department to pick and choose, and if it was not enough, he went to each battalion to change weapons.
Nangong Xingyu began to change little by little from various small details, riding a battalion.
Everyone has a clear division of labor, each performs its own duties, and the appearance of a battalion is the same every day

Chaofeng Empire, Tiantong City Nine Heavenly Palace
The most powerful group of people in this empire, dressed in brocade official uniforms at the moment, civil and military officials lined up on both sides, knelt on the ground, and shouted long live to the people on the dragon chairs.
Two coughs came, and her eyes slowly looked up along the steps in front of her, Dongfang Jingyi, the Empress of Chaofeng wearing a dragon robe, was sitting upright on the imperial throne, her willow eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she looked a little tired.
The golden phoenix robe on the body is embroidered with a nine-day fire phoenix, symbolizing the supreme authority, holding up the phoenix crown, which looks extremely sacred.
Her gaze slowly swept over the group of kneeling people below, she had been on the throne for so many years, and every day she watched these people lying on their stomachs below fight for power and attack each other in this golden hall.
No one knows how difficult it is for her to be the empress, and the northern land of the Zhaotu Sea Party attacks each other every day, forming a party for personal gain and consuming national strength, but she can only choose to compromise in the face of these tumors that have been ingrained for hundreds of years.
The Zhaotu family has been inherited for hundreds of years, saving the Chaofeng Empire from danger several times, ranking as the third prince for almost generations, and the children of the family have also held many important positions.
The Hai Party is a family of gate valves in the coastal area, with strong financial resources, headed by the Zhang family in Jiuyu Prefecture, and the officials in the coastal area are all thrown into the arms of the Hai Party.
Beidi is the northern Shi clan, when the founding of the country is to follow the Phoenix Emperor to open up the territory, holding military power, the power is monstrous, headed by the Li family and the Yale family, hundreds of years since the founding of the country, the northern Shi clan at the expense of a part of the military power, gradually migrated to the Wutong Prefecture around Tiantong City, Tongzi Prefecture, and united the civil officials from the north to form the North.
The ups and downs of the three factions in the past few hundred years, each leading the way, you sing and I appear, the struggle has become more and more fierce in recent years, only the Shangguan family has stayed out of the matter and watched coldly, but with the support of the empress Dongfang Jingyi, there is a faint situation of the four forces involved in each other.
"Flat!" Empress Chaofeng coughed twice.
The eunuch on the side pinched his throat and shouted: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, the ministers have something to do early, and they have nothing to do to retreat!" ”
"Wechen has a book."
Dongfang Jingyi followed the sound and looked, it was Yang Tianci, the squire of the military department, which was a little interesting, and the dignified military department secretary had not yet spoken, and the squire of the military department jumped out first.
"According to the border pass military report, the 150,000 army of Beastyang joined forces in one place, ready to invade Cangwu Prefecture, Cangwu defenders are afraid that it will be difficult to support alone, and has sent people to ask for help, the imperial court should send generals to reinforce as soon as possible, and the minister recommended Feng Yu Wei Zhonglang to lead the troops to lead the troops to the expedition, and the general leader of the Cangwu Prefecture defenders, the military and the government are integrated to resist foreign insults. I will definitely be able to succeed and raise my prestige to the Feng army! ”
As soon as these words came out, a whisper immediately sounded in the court, and everyone's eyes swept to the back of the military department Shangshu Zhaotu Fang Zhi, and the clear-eyed people knew at a glance that this Lord Yang was from the north, and this matter was not discussed with the military department Shangshu at all, and it was directly raised at the court meeting, making it clear that they wanted to give the newly appointed military department Shangshu Zhaotu Fang Zhi a dismissal.
The officials of the Strait Party on the side were a little gloating, for the sake of military power, seeing that the Summoner and the Northland were about to make a quarrel, and then the Strait Party would not be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Zhao Tu Fang Zhi seemed to feel the sarcastic eyes of everyone behind him, his face was pale, he raised his head to look at his father, who was the first civil official, when the emperor Fu summoned Tu Si Xuan, but saw that his white-haired father did not move at all, and he had no intention of speaking.
Zhaotu Fang Zhi sighed secretly, his father's kung fu is really good, he was caught off guard by Li Dang but he didn't panic at all, he was still leisurely, no wonder his father could go through three dynasties without falling, there is a famous saying in Chaofeng officialdom: The tide rises and falls, and the Zhaotu is not rotten, and people come and go.
Dongfang Jingyi looked at Yang Tianci, the head of the military department with his head drooped, and then turned her head to look at Zhao Tu Si Yu, who seemed to be closing her eyes and recuperating her spirits, secretly helpless, today is another drama of fighting for power and profit for military power, she has been tired of watching it all these years.
Dongfang Jingyi coughed a few more times, and slowly spoke: "Da Zhuguo, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”
Sun Deyun, the governor of Dazhu, is also a white-haired old man, and the Duke of Zhenguo is the hereditary title of the Shangguan family, which was given in recognition of his meritorious service to the founding of the country.
And the eldest grandson of Zhonglang General Ziteng, whom Yang Tianci recommended earlier, is his eldest son, the current head of the Shangguan family.
The eldest grandson had to use his afterglow to glance at Zhao Tu Si Yu, and said: "The war in Cangwu Prefecture really needs a general to command, although the eldest grandson Wisteria has served in the army for many years and his qualifications are acceptable, but the experience of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops is slightly lacking, and His Majesty still needs to take the idea of this matter, so it is inconvenient for the old man to say more." After speaking, he bowed his head slightly.
"The old minister thinks otherwise, the eldest grandson, General Wisteria, has a calm personality, has made many military exploits, and has learned the secret art of war of the official family, so he must be the best candidate for this unified army!"
