Chapter 85: The members of the general's office have the same position, and subordinates are born
The general's subordinates have always been placed in the Chinese dynasties, and may have been changed and renamed, but after all, they have always occupied the position of commander-in-chief of the army. At present, The same is true in the Yan Kingdom.
In order to make it easier for more generals from different dynasties to feel familiar in the future, Su Chen roped in Zhang Liao, Dong Zhuo, and Guo Jia to first assign civil and military positions in the Han Dynasty under the generals.
For example, Changshi, Zhonglang, Chief Secretary, Duwei, General, Buqujiang...
In the future, when other dynasty generals appeared, Su Chen would add them. Putting down the pen and ink, Su Chen picked up the tea: "...what Cao Gong said before was to open a general's palace and put the generals in appropriate positions. When there is another improvement, who knows whether it is true or not, but we can give it a try. Distance from the Alliance There is still one month left in the Northern Expedition. From now on, the main focus will be on sending troops, food, grass, and armor!”
While he was talking, the candlelight on the table swayed, and Su Chen's figure was swaying on the screen behind him. He picked up the pen and ink again, saw the eyes of everyone looking at him, and then wrote on another blank piece of paper. Soon, He picked up what he had written, blew it, and then handed it to Zhang Liao and others to read.
"There are not many people at the moment, so I will write it down like this for the time being."
The existing names and positions were written on the document as it was handed over. The ink had not yet dried, so Guo Jia held it carefully. Then he walked to the light and watched.
"The chief historian: Xun Yu; the chief lieutenant: Guo Jia; the chief clerk: Lu Bu; the captain: Zhang Liao; the generals and five captains: Dong Zhuo and Le Jin"
One handwriting The person passed by, and the room fell into an eerie silence. Zhang Liao saw that the name in the main book above was Lu Bu, and suppressed a smile. After a while, Guo Jia put the paper back on the table, smiled and bowed with his sleeves, "Jia , follow the general’s wishes!”
Zhang Liao and Dong Zhuo laughed, imitated Guo Jia's actions, and bowed down.
In the following time, Su Chen left all the affairs of the city to Guo Jia and Xun Yu, with the prefect Sun Shuwu and Chen Luoping, who had been appointed as a county lieutenant, assisting him in farming and selling goods around Ding'an City. And get an iron mine in Youyan Mountain to the west.
Before, it had been guarded by people from the imperial court. Later, Su Chen revolted and captured Ding'an City. The hundreds of garrison troops there had already fled and went to Yunqi County. They were now recovering the ore, digging it, and transporting it to the western suburbs of the city. Ten miles of piles.
Xun Yu summoned most of the blacksmiths from several counties to plan a nearby forge covering an area of 25 acres. It would be used as a weapons and armor workshop. He also issued a letter to various cities to encourage young people in their families to have strong ideas. For those who learn crafts, the government will send them to be apprentices for free. In just a few days, hundreds of people have signed up to enter the forge.
Because Yan State had a lot of iron armor, the first ones developed were the awl spears and short axes used to break armor.
For a moment, looking from the top of the city, in the distance, black smoke floated in the sky in the western suburbs all day long. If you walked a few miles closer, you could hear the continuous sound of blacksmithing.
As one of the founders of the Cao Wei Dynasty, Xun Yu's abilities were not limited to this. Sometimes he would also resort to thunderous means, mobilizing yamen officers and policemen from villages to towns, and then to counties, and finally In Ding'an City, they conducted a population census and planned land acres so that people without land could use two or three acres of land. At the same time, they asked relatives of the Su family to go to various counties to buy various vegetable seedling seeds and distribute them to farmers for them to plant on the ridges of the fields. Multiple uses in one place.
When Xun Yu was working, he did not forget to drag Guo Jia, who was hiding in the house, with him. The latter had no choice but to follow him to the government office every day. As time went by, he also began to pick up his pen and ink and sort it out. Some events led the county lieutenant Chen Luoping to recruit a group of people from various religions and nine schools to spread rumors in various counties in Yanzhou, or to settle in Yanjing or other counties to conduct detailed information gathering and form one or several effective lines of information.
As the days passed, Su Ting and several young people from the Su family finally organized a caravan. On March 11, a mighty caravan of more than a hundred people arrived, consisting of twenty Under the escort of famous Jianghu people, they went south through Zhangzhou to the Wei territory south of the Hun River. On the way, they also sent back the news that the Hunhou of Zhangzhou had also raised troops.
Su Chen couldn't even close his mouth when he saw the news. Counting him and Marquis Yun, there are six marquises who have rebelled against him. It is estimated that the other two families will not be able to sit still at this time.
But at the moment, he has no intention of paying attention to this. His main focus is still on the surrender of troops. In nearly half a month, half of the troops have surrendered to join the Ding'an Army. After all, the world is full of wars, and everyone is watching whether the emperor's country is stable or not. In my eyes, when I was a soldier, I ate the same food wherever I went.
With the huge number of troops, according to Zhang Liao's previous suggestion, except for the original 10,000 Ding'an Army, which remained unchanged, the rest were dispersed, and 10,000 were allocated to Dong Zhuo to build the Xiliang Army, and Ma Bu Mixed, the whole army was stationed in those mountains.
Zhang Liao also led 10,000 troops. He originally thought that he would build an army related to Wei, but what he sent to Su Chen was the word "Bingzhou".
The position of general was given to Lu Bu, and he was willing to become deputy general. It's just that Lu Bu is nowhere to be seen at the moment, and the formation and training of the Bingzhou Army fall entirely on him alone.
Le Jin, who was far away in Changchuan County, was also supplemented by 5,000 people. Of the original 7,000 wounded soldiers in the county, excluding those who were seriously injured and disabled, there were still 3,000 people who were added to his command. Shang Su Chen had allocated him five thousand before leaving. Now he held thirteen thousand soldiers and horses, among whom he selected those who were strong and brave enough to die to form an advance army of three thousand.
Next to Su Chen, Dian Wei led a battalion of a thousand people. They were all strong men from the Ding'an army. Most of them were former Imperial City soldiers. They wore iron armor, had their legs wrapped around their feet, walked on their feet, and carried large weapons. The difference between the shields and the original ones is that these people are holding long halberds and short-handled axes hanging from their waists.
Even the second brother, Su Chen, found some things to do for him, such as preparing food and grass, collecting herbs, grinding them into powder to make hemostatic powder, and wrapping them in small pieces of paper, three packets for each soldier.
One by one, these things are being progressed in an orderly manner this month. Some of them are too huge and require more time.
Su Chen looked at the light rain that started falling again. He put down his pen and ink and picked up the two written recruitment documents for the General's Mansion. One was burned in the ancestral hall, and the other he went to the military camp to read out.
Under the thin rain curtain.
The official holding the document stood on Su Chen's side and read loudly: "Since the uprising of the three armies, the officers and soldiers of the army have fought bravely to kill the enemy and defeated hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial court..."
A drop of rain fell. In front of everyone, the voice continued.
"...Those who have meritorious service will be promoted, such as Xun Yu who became the head of the general's palace!" In the distance, Xun Yu, who was planning business in the city, suddenly stopped with the brush in his hand.
——Centered and steady.
He glanced at the document he had just written, then discarded it, took a new piece of paper, and started over again. At this time, he had some new ideas in his mind.
……
“Such as Guo Jia enters the general’s palace and works as a lieutenant……”
……
In the thin rain curtain, Guo Jia stands Under the high platform, I closed my eyes and listened, but my mind was thinking about the situation far away in Yanzhou.
——Plan a strategy!
"I should give Yan Guo a backstab..." he thought like this.
……
“Conquer Lu Bu and enter the general’s palace!”
……
In the mountain forest at the border of Lingzhou and Rongzhou, Lu Bu, who had been fighting several times in Yanzhou, sat in the forest, watching the raindrops splashing on the leaves drop by drop.
Occasionally, there was movement. He turned his head slightly, and the drowsy cavalrymen around him were also awakened. The moment they all stood up, a figure walked out from deep in the forest.
Lu Bu saw the silhouette and appearance of the figure, and the dry food in his hand landed beside his feet.
"Gao Shun..."
The two stood in the forest and looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly raised their hands and slapped each other in the air.
...
In the vast military camp, Dong Zhuo, who was standing in front of a group of soldiers and horses, looked at the tent in the distance. A familiar figure came out. The man was wearing armor and bowed down.
"Dong Gong, long time no see."
"Hahaha! The commander of my Flying Bear Army is here!" Dong Zhuo jumped off his horse, ran towards the man, and helped him up. Seeing the old team again, my face was filled with joy that I had never seen before.
Zhang Liao looked at them stroking their beards and smiling. A strong general approached him and bowed down.
"Niugai meets the general!"
Changchuan County.
Le Jin stood at the top of the city. There was another person beside him, his surname was Li and his name was Dian.
"Mancheng, with you behind me from now on, I can feel free to climb in and fight first."
The tall and tall man smiled and raised his hands towards him, and the two of them looked into the distance together. , the surrounding became familiar, and he sighed softly: "We can kill the enemy side by side again."
Time flies to the end of the month, and Su Chen finally understands the so-called promotion. Scholars gain secret skills, and military generals gain subordinates. He is happy to see the results. With a familiar lieutenant, fighting becomes particularly easy.
On the afternoon of the 27th, Su Chen went to Yunqi County to meet with Wu Huizhi, and agreed to go to Lingzhou together. He went to Fang's house to meet Fang Xuejun, and then rushed back to Ding'an. Go to the Forge for a while.
The first batch of armor-piercing awls and short axes have begun to be shipped to various armies for equipment.
