Chapter 252 Retirement, Expansion, and Reorganization of the Army
Zhao Yun gave me steps, Zhang Fei gave me heads. It's October now. This is October in the lunar calendar. Although there are two Novembers behind it, it's hard to say that it's almost winter.
"So General Zhang has agreed to retire, right? As long as the time is right, it doesn't affect combat effectiveness, and it doesn't cause other princes to peep, right?" Chen Xi said Zhang Fei's words "batch by batch".
The retired analysis explained and asked.
Zhang Fei was stunned, thought for a moment, and seemed to mean something like this, so he nodded stupidly, "Well, that's what I meant. Zilong, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Yun and covered his forehead.
He sat down directly and looked at Zhao Yun with a puzzled expression.
"General Zhang, it's really yours..." Zhao Yun made a bitter smile and put the big black pot on Zhang Fei's head. It's best if you take this big blame.
"What's wrong, what's wrong!" Zhang Fei still looked at Zhao Yun puzzled.
"Military advisor, please retain the basic defense force when the time comes. Even if it is time to rest for the winter, please leave enough defense force just in case." Zhao Yun's words clearly indicate that he has admitted defeat. We will not fight anymore. You are so powerful. Come on.
Well, just leave it to the brothers.
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, but when Zhao Yun mentioned it, he immediately realized that it was almost winter, and there would be basically no wars in winter. They all summarized the situation this year in their respective territories, and then settled in for the winter.
Zhang Fei thought about what he said before. If he left it at this time, he would be betraying his teammates. When talking about disarmament, who would think of what time it is today? This is not what humans do!
"Hey, hey, hey, Zichuan, what I just said was wrong, don't take it seriously." Zhang Fei started to lie without saying anything, and instead of asking the military advisor to change his words, he changed his mind and played the favor card, "The third brother's army only has 4,000 people. I guess there are some who don't meet the requirements."
If you cut half of them, Third Brother will have no soldiers in the future. Third Brother's elite infantry and cavalry regiment can usually fight ten of them each. It would be a waste to cut them. How about we cut the field soldiers."
All the civil servants covered their faces, Zhang Fei was too embarrassed, and the army was reduced to field soldiers. It's a shame that you are so thick-skinned that you can say such a thing.
"Zichuan, please take pity on your third brother. Your third brother's soldiers are all veterans who have been with your third brother for several years. Some of them are soldiers from Zhuojun County. They were five or six years old. At that time, they were all twenty-year-old soldiers.
All five or six-year-old men are gone now, how do you want me to explain to my fellow villagers?" Zhang Fei began to play shameless, anyway, he was thick-skinned, and there were a group of generals behind him to support him.
Chen Xi's eyelids were twitching wildly, and Zhang Fei was obviously being a scoundrel. The rural heroes he recruited in the spring of 188 were only five years old, not to mention that most of them died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Even if they were all alive, they would only be in their twenties, let alone
What's more, to put it bluntly, it is a question whether the eight hundred Xiangyong of Zhuo County can survive for three hundred.
Now that we are all gone, what should I tell my fellow villagers? Lu Su’s welfare is simply too good for these soldiers who have returned when they reach their age. Even if they don’t join the city management and patrol department, it is enough to go back to their hometown to live out their old days.
!
"Third brother, you must also understand my difficulties. After entering the barracks, there is no time limit. We must also understand the soldiers and give them hope. Maybe more of them will survive." Zhang Fei was cheating.
According to the rules, Chen Xi only plays the emotional card. They are all acquaintances. Who is afraid of who?
Just as Zhang Fei was about to speak, Chen Xi stopped him, "Besides, I didn't limit your troops. I just retired those who didn't meet the requirements. You can recruit and train them. You retired three hundred old soldiers, and you feel that your combat effectiveness has been reduced by three hundred."
One hundred and three, you recruit three hundred and three! As for how to get the equipment for those thirty people, that's none of my business." Chen Xi said to Zhang Fei with a smile.
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered why when Chen Xi organized the army, it was 4000~5000, but he gave food and wages to 4,000 people.
Zhang Fei was stunned, and turned to look at Liu Bei. This kind of thing needs Liu Bei's approval. He added 10% of his troops out of thin air. If you play like this, if you are serious enough to do a big blood change, and come in and out again, one regiment will be enough to have 500 more people.
official song!
As for rations, pay, equipment, everything can be found in just a few clicks. The main thing is the establishment! With this establishment, you can expand the army. It doesn’t matter where the equipment comes from, whether it is seized or bought with money. In short, as long as you provide the establishment, you will be able to expand the army.
Pull up the troops!
These are troubled times. To put it bluntly, there are over-staffed legions from top to bottom. Zhang Fei cried and complained that there were only four thousand people. But when the army was counted, it would be strange if there were not four thousand and five. These things ranged from Liu Bei to the person in charge of finance.
Lu Su, who was in and out, and Liu Ye, who was doing statistics, all turned a blind eye. As long as your overstaffing was not serious, no one would say anything.
Besides, Liu Bei also remembered that the bottom line of the legion given by Chen Xi was 6,000 people, and the standard was 5,000 people, but when Chen Xi issued the order, it became a legion of 4,000 people. This also reminded Liu Bei that as long as the legion
If there are no more than 5,000 people, you can turn a blind eye. If you are heading towards 6,000 people, you need to beat them. As for running past 6,000 people, except under special circumstances, you will be on the blacklist.
"Zichuan feels that the old and weak soldiers do not meet the requirements, and the legion composed of eight Qu is a bit weak, so he is going to add one Qu's troops. The condition is that each legion must eliminate those soldiers who do not meet the requirements." Liu Bei thought for a while and expanded.
Chen Xi's stingy 10% of his troops were spared, and Qu's infantry was supplemented. All the generals were immediately overjoyed.
The most intuitive expression of a military commander in this era is how many troops you can lead. Another honor for a military commander is basically how many wars I have won and what impact these many wars have.
With Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei felt relieved and patted his chest and promised to kick out all those guys when he got back. Then he would replenish his troops and train his troops hard all winter. In the next year, they would be the elite of the army again, completely gone.
Such a desolate look.
Similarly, all the generals said that they would definitely clear out all the pawns that did not meet the regulations. The situation where the civil servants and generals were harmonious was actually a case of the generals taking advantage and acting like a good boy.
Speaking of which, if these people really reduce their military power and don't fall out with the geniuses, they will definitely remember Chen Xi. If they have the opportunity to trouble Chen Xi, they will never forget it. As for the current situation, it is obvious that everyone is happy. Of course, this is because of the generals
I didn’t know that Chen Xi’s original design for the army was to be full of 6,000 people, but later he deliberately reduced it to three achievements in order to use it as a bait to lure generals in the future.
After all, as long as they are military generals, as long as they say to expand military power, as long as it is not a matter of principle, these people will definitely accept it. However, this time it seems that the expansion is a bit too much. Liu Bei needs to be ventilated before doing this in the future. Although Liu Bei can
Understanding, but now there is no room for a quarter of maneuver. What if there is still a time when the military needs to compromise in the future?
What a loser. Chen Xi glanced at Liu Bei helplessly, and he really didn't know what to say.
