Chapter 963 Adding a Deputy Commander
"Boom~"
On a school field in Luoyun City, groups of cavalry were whizzing past, sometimes charging forward neatly, sometimes dividing their troops and changing formations, with many tricks.
Although the terrain of the martial arts arena is not as spacious as in the wild, it does not prevent small groups of cavalry from practicing charging and killing here.
They are not needed in the defense of Luoyun City. The Liao Army has not had any major battles for a long time. These cavalrymen who have been idle for a long time will get on their horses and run around the field twice if they have nothing to do.
Chenyue was strolling on the sidelines, accompanied by Yue Zhanpeng, Lu Feng and Yu Yixian.
The current Suppressing Liao Army has officially appointed two deputy commanders, namely Lu Feng and Yu Yixian. Lu Feng was born in Shanziying and later led troops in the Daliang Dragon Cavalry. He has been in the army for a long time. In the Suppressing Liao Army
Being a deputy commander is more than enough.
And Yu Yixian happened to be a local general in Liaodong. He was originally the leader of a rebel army. He naturally had his own skills in leading troops, otherwise he would not have grown further under the encirclement and suppression of the Jin people.
Putting these two people under Yue Zhanpeng's command will undoubtedly be a big help.
Several people slowly came to a stone table. Several small wooden stools were arranged in a circle, and a canvas was set up above their heads to block the scorching sun above their heads.
"Drink, drink, drink!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
…
Listening to the shouts of the soldiers, Chenyue felt happy and said with a smile: "The Liao Army was the last to form an army, and now it has become the elite of Liaodong. The contributions of several generals are indispensable."
Yue Zhanpeng said loudly: "It's all about protecting our homeland. We don't deserve credit for our merits. We didn't come to lead the troops because of the prince's merits."
"Hahaha~"
Lu Feng and the two laughed together and said: "Although we don't take the credit, if the prince is so determined, he can give us a few hundred more good horses to suppress the Liao army."
Chenyue was stunned. As soon as he said the polite words, he reached out and asked for something.
"That is, the racecourses in Liaodong are rare and cannot breed a large number of high-quality war horses, but they all point to the Beiliang racecourse." Yu Yixian's eyes also showed greed: "The general is very fond of these big horses in Beiliang.
Na."
"Hey, this is not because I am stingy." Chen Yue smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "All the generals are pointing at those good horses. Who should give them to? Give them all to Beiliang. If you say I favor one over the other, give them all to Liaodong.
The Daliang Dragon Cavalry, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the others will be unhappy again. We have no choice but to reward them based on military merit, and no one has anything to say."
This is also a small drawback after taking Liaodong. Although the black soil in Liaodong has added food to the army and provided many high-quality soldiers. However, the terrain in Liaodong is indeed not suitable for the expansion of large-scale horse farms, and the few small horse farms can not support enough war horses.
The entire Liaodong army can only be drawn from Beiliang.
Yue Zhanpeng said with some resentment: "Your Majesty, the fighting in Wuguan is fierce. Even the Muyun royal family was killed by the Red Flame Army. Our Luoyun City has been silent for a long time. How can we gain military merit without fighting?
How can you change the war horse without military merit? Your Majesty is really a bit biased."
"That's right, the prince is partial."
Lu Feng and Yu Yixian also nodded pretendingly.
Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the three generals, and said meaningfully: "Today, the generals invited me to inspect the military camp. Is it because they are drunk and not interested in drinking? Well, let's forget about the Hongmen Banquet. You can't even stutter."
No."
"Hahaha."
The three of them laughed and did not deny it.
Chenyue smiled and said: "What's the matter, you want to fight?"
The three of them nodded in unison.
Chen Yue waved his hand: "Don't worry, you can fight the battle. I am just thinking about making a move."
"Haha, okay, that's what the prince is waiting for." Lu Feng laughed.
Chen Yue looked helpless. No wonder Yue Zhanpeng found him early in the morning and asked him to come to the Zhenliao Army to inspect military affairs. They dug a hole for him to jump into.
"Then the two of us will not accompany the prince. We still need to keep an eye on the military affairs in the army."
After receiving Chen Yue's approval, Lu Feng and the others stood up and left with a smile.
"Go ahead, go ahead." Chen Yue waved his hand.
Yue Zhanpeng watched the two of them walk away and said seriously: "Your Majesty, it's not that the generals are deliberately trying to drag you into trouble. It's just that the generals below have been holding back for too long. I am also being pushed to the point where I can't do anything."
Chen Yue curled his lips in disbelief. He didn't believe Yue Zhanpeng's lies. Without him taking the lead, who among the generals below could raise this issue with him.
"Ahem."
Chen Yue's expression was caught by Yue Zhanpeng, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said calmly: "But the prince just promised me to suppress the Liao army and I can't go back on it. A gentleman's words are hard to follow."
"What?"
Chen Yue said with a straight face: "Is it possible that General Yue thinks that this king is still a villain?"
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about, Your Majesty?" Yue Zhanpeng hurriedly started shouting, "Your Majesty is an upright gentleman, hehe."
Chen Yue said with a smile: "General Yue's horses are so comfortable to photograph."
"Hahaha~"
The two laughed knowingly.
"Okay, let's stop talking." Chenyue waved his hand and said, "If there is anything else the Liao Army needs, I will try my best to meet your needs this time."
Yue Zhanpeng also sat up and said, "To be honest with you, the prince, our Liao Army is short of men?"
"Short of people?"
A look of confusion appeared on Chenyue's face: "Aren't the thirty thousand soldiers and horses of the Suppressing Liao Army fully equipped? Who else is missing?"
Yue Zhanpeng smiled and said: "Of course there is no shortage of soldiers, but I still lack a deputy commander."
Chenyue was stunned, pointed at the figures of Lu Feng and the two in the distance and said, "Isn't this already there?"
Yue Zhanpeng said solemnly: "Liaodong is not as good as Beiliang. It is no problem for Beiliang's left and right cavalry to have a deputy commander each, because there are many battle-hardened generals below, and it is very easy to mobilize them. Just pick one of them and he can lead the army alone.
.
However, the Liao Army has to guard the four states in Liaodong. It has 30,000 troops and only two deputy commanders, which is not enough. The general plans to appoint three deputy commanders. In this way, the three deputy commanders will command 10,000 troops each in the same battle.
If we can fight together, we will win."
Chen Yue nodded thoughtfully, and he suddenly understood what Yue Zhanpeng meant. The generals in Beiliang's left and right cavalry could all act independently, and the deputy commander only shared some of the pressure of the head coach.
The Zhenliao Army is different. Most of the generals and lieutenants at the next level were promoted in a short period of time. It is no problem to lead an army of one or two thousand, but if you command tens of thousands of people in battle, you may not be able to do what you want.
"Your Majesty, let's see if there are any suitable candidates?" Yue Zhanpeng asked enthusiastically.
Chen Yue narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then slapped his thigh suddenly: "There really is one!"
"oh?"
Yue Zhanpeng's eyes lit up: "Who is it?"
Chen Yue grinned: "General Yue, what do you think of Ben Hu?"
"Bihu?"
Yue Zhanpeng was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for reluctantly parting with me."
