Chapter 25 Talent Crisis
"Bai Wenyuan, the general of the defeated army, has seen Mr. Liu. ”
Looking at Bai Wenyuan, who was covered in blood, Liu Ruoshui felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
In any case, the reason why Bai Wenyuan is so embarrassed is that he is still inseparable, although the two armies are fighting, they have to do everything, but the use of tactics is not as happy as the battlefield battle.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Yin Kwai faction had already started to make a move, the situation in Xiangyang City would have become less uncertain, and Liu Ruoshui had planned to eat the thief army outside the city one bite at a time.
However, these emotions will not interfere with the main matter, Liu Ruoshui also deliberately sprinkled a handful of salt on his wound, only to hear Liu Ruoshui speak, "General Wenyuan, why is this so?"
To Liu Ruoshui's surprise, Bai Wenyuan said in a deep voice: \"I was killed by a poisonous woman, I only blame me for having no eyes and beads, and I refuse to listen to people's persuasion, alas!\"
Then, Bai Wenyuan began to complain to Liu Ruoshui about his bitterness, only to hear him sigh sadly: \"No one said that after Zhu Mei's poisonous woman was tired of men, she would take a bite of it, and she must be put to death, so as not to be occupied by other women. But I pride myself on being handsome, and my martial arts are no less than hers, and I am fascinated by her flesh and style. was so stupid that he was lucky, thinking that he was the only exception, and he finally deserved retribution. ”
Liu Ruoshui didn't know what to say for a while, as long as he opened his mouth to persuade him, "People are not romantic young people, and Brother Bai is not at fault." ”
Bai Wenyuan smiled bitterly, "Who can blame this? If it weren't for Miss Qing'er's rescue, I'm afraid that a bowl of poisonous wine would kill me." ”
After a pause, Bai Wenyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Over the years, I have made countless contributions to their father and daughter, and I have been nicknamed the general of the horse in the Garuda army, and I am becoming more powerful and popular than their father and daughter, and I have long been jealous of them. Alas, I'm stupid and confused. \"
Liu Ruoshui said, "Then I don't know what General Bai's plans will be next? Are you willing to join me in Xiangyang City? In Xiangyang City, there is a lack of generals like General Bai. ”
Bai Wenyuan knelt down and said, "Dare to disobey orders?" ”
Liu Ruoshui was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but sigh at Bai Qing'er's power. Liu Ruoshui was worried that Bai Wenyuan was a fraud, and at this time, he had already used the "Gewu Heart Sutra" to explore Bai Wenyuan's psychology. Even if Bai Wenyuan's acting skills are at the actor level, he can't escape Liu Ruoshui's investigation.
He can be sure that Bai Wenyuan is sincere and not the slightest false.
Since it was determined that Bai Wenyuan had surrendered sincerely, Liu Ruoshui was not polite, and directly assigned 10,000 elite soldiers and nearly one-third of the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City to Bai Wenyuan's command, and asked him to take these soldiers and horses to counterattack Zhu Wei.
The reason why Liu Ruoshui did this was generally in the heart of "no suspicion of employing people, not using suspicious people", but the other half was because there was no one available under him.
In Xiangyang, Liu Ruoshui's foundation is still too shallow, and most of his disciples are still young and useless, so they can only be used as basic officers. Although there are many local officers in Xiangyang, there is no talent worthy of great use.
In contrast, Bai Wenyuan is the most suitable talent.
Otherwise, Liu Ruoshui may have to personally send troops.
It's just that Liu Ruoshui has more important things to do at this time.
Although Liu Ruoshui roughly controlled Xiangyang City, strictly speaking, Liu Ruoshui only controlled the state capital of Xiangyang County, and it was just a county in Xiangyang County. As for the other counties under Xiangyang County, such as Anyang County, Gucheng County, Shanghong County, Suidao County, Hannan County, Yincheng County, Yiqing County, Nanzhang County, Changping County, Juan County and other more than ten county seats, Liu Ruoshui has not yet completely controlled them, so it will naturally take a lot of effort.
According to the news from Bai Qing'er, among the more than ten county towns, the strength of the Yin Kui faction is controlled by about three, the remnants of Qian Duguan have two, the Dajiang League controls two of Yue, and the other counties are controlled by gangs or wealthy clans in the city.
However, Bai Wenyuan did not live up to Liu Ruoshui's hopes, but after a week's effort, he dedicated the heads of Zhu Wei's father and daughter to Liu Ruoshui.
Not only that, because of Bai Wenyuan's prestige, most of Zhu Yi's soldiers were willing to surrender, even if Liu Ruoshui screened and selected them and hired them on the basis of merit, there were 20,000 more elite soldiers in his hands.
In other words, Liu Ruoshui has 50,000 soldiers in his hands, although he is not as good as Li Mi, Du Fuwei and others, but he does not need to be inferior to small princes like Li Zitong and Shen Faxing.
Of course, the explosion of troops is not all good, both the new army and the old army have been branded too much. In order to solve this problem, Liu Ruoshui had to split and break up the new army and the old army.
As for the military system, it is still roughly the same as that of the Sui Dynasty, with only slight modifications.
The most basic unit still follows the Sui Dynasty's "Shiwu system", which is still a pair of ten people, called the team, and the main post is the chief, but there is a military chief, as a deputy position, if the chief dies in battle, the military commander should make up.
The Shiwu system is the simplest and most common military system in the era of cold weapons. From the Shang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the Shiwu system was the smallest unit, but the name was slightly changed.
Next, there are five teams for one tun, five tun for one battalion, four battalions for one guard, four guards for one house, and three houses for one army.
A total of three armies were set up under Liu Ruoshui's command, Liu Ruoshui led one by himself, Bai Wenyuan led one, and as for the last army, due to the lack of suitable candidates to lead the troops, Liu Ruoshui was temporarily led by Liu Ruoshui.
As a matter of fact, Liu Ruoshui already had several suitable candidates in mind and possessed the ability of "foresight," so how could Liu Ruoshui not take advantage of it? After the situation in Xiangyang City stabilized a little, Liu Ruoshui sent more than 30 letters, but he didn't know how many people would be able to fall into his urn.
No matter when, talent is the most important, under Liu Ruoshui, there are only two talents who are really worth using, one is naturally Bai Wenyuan, and the other is a friend introduced by Zheng Shuming, Zheng Shiru, a madman in Henan.
Henan madman Zheng Shiru is indeed a talent, but Liu Ruoshui only dares to treat him as a staff officer to assist in planning things in Xiangyang City. Because although Zheng Shiru is a talent, he is a member of the Yin Kui faction, although he and the Yin Kui faction have a grudge against his father, but the relationship between him and the Yin Kui faction is too great, almost to the extent that he is constantly cut and rationalized, unless he officially breaks with the Yin Kui faction, Liu Ruoshui is really useless.
However, in this regard, Liu Ruoshui is not reconciled, because Xiangyang and Jingling are adjacent to each other, and in Jingling, there is a great talent who can help Liu Ruoshui lead political affairs.
Fang Dao, the original pioneer of the original Jingling Monopoly Villa, was the original secretary, and Kou Zhong's number one think tank in the future.
