At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, when the frost had fallen, Gongsun Xun returned to the camp with hundreds of soldiers who had left the camp for training, and was preparing to have a meal.
"Sima." Lu Fan, who had already put on his jacket in advance, greeted him from a distance in front of his office door. Although the two had a close relationship in private, in front of the sergeant, the official in charge of the general affairs of the camp always tried his best.
Use official or honorific titles.
"You don't have to wait for me. Just serve me a meal. I'll come as soon as I go." Gongsun Xun casually ordered a chief next to him and immediately went to greet him. "Zi Heng, I was doing exercises on the field outside just now.
Suddenly something occurred to me, and I just wanted to ask you, do you think I could have someone sew a hanging flag, and hang it on the camp gate on weekdays? When I go on an expedition, find a strong man to hold it behind me, with the words "Han Ping City Separate Division" written on it.
Sima Gongsun's nine characters..."
"Wen Qi has been in a lot of spirits these days." Seeing the other party approaching, Lu Fan stood there with his hands tied, his face full of laughter and tears. "But the nine-character flag is inevitably...it is too many words, isn't it?
"
"Who gave me the surname Gongsun?" Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly. "So it seems that there are too many words."
Lu Fan became increasingly speechless and could only tell the truth: "For a Sima from another department, making such a flag is a bit too much."
"Hey," Gongsun Xun immediately retorted. "It's just a flag. Zi Heng can make one if he wants."
"What does it say?" Lu Fan was really a little angry. "Lu, the official of the Sima Gongsun in another department in Hanping City? You should be a school captain, a general or something like two thousand stones, and give me an assistant army Sima. I can still force it."
Hanging up with such a shy face like you."
Gongsun Xun laughed in embarrassment: "I will work hard to become an official in the future and give Zi Heng a good name."
In this way, the two made a joke, and then finally got together in front of Lu Fan's apartment and talked about business in a low voice.
"It's still the same thing." Lu Fan said seriously. "Since Zang Zhonglang sent a group of elites there, they have to be reorganized. You can't keep delaying... It's easy to talk about food and grass. Yanmen County is willing to bear it, but after all, we
There are only two songs and one tun, and there are no redundant official positions."
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh: "How could this Zang Min be so kind in giving me troops? He was just shocked and angry after hearing that Dong Zhuo and I had joined forces to kill the governor of Yanmen, so he used this method to warn me. I'm like this
The army was already organized, but he just sent the people from this village here..."
"I also want to appease you." Lu Fan always spoke directly. "The elite soldiers who are always drawn from the west must be more powerful than the new recruits here."
"Zi Heng came to me. Do you have some ideas?"
"I do have an idea." Lu Fan's suggestions are always so straightforward, which is what Gongsun Xun likes the most. "I know you don't want to part with these soldiers and horses. In that case, why don't you recruit them from Yanmen?
How about you select one or two hundred people from the big families and place them with you as direct cavalry followers? This way you can keep them without occupying the establishment. And this group of big family children are provided by Yanmen County.
, and don’t care about positions like district commander, corps commander, etc., as long as you, Wen Qi, can recruit them well and let them consider themselves as personal soldiers, they will naturally be satisfied."
Gongsun Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he continued to ask for advice: "Does your superior Zi Heng have any suggestions on personnel matters?"
"Although I have an idea about this matter," Lu Fan replied calmly. "But it's not appropriate to speak out. It's up to you, Wen Qi, to think about it yourself."
"If one or two hundred righteous soldiers were to be spared to replace the troops sent by Zang Min." Gongsun Xun said with a smile. "Then the only person who can lead this group of righteous soldiers is Yi Gong. I really can't trust anyone else..."
"This is natural." Lu Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
"But when Duke Yi shot Ke Zuitan to death with an arrow, he took the initiative to resign his career as Qu Junhou and follow me, so if I can't share the position of Qu Junhou with him today, I will be extremely sorry." Gongsun Xun continued.
He thought about it and said, "So let him command Yi Cong as the Marquis of the Cavalry Qu, and then the two cavalry tuns of the Cavalry Qu will simply skip the level of Qu and belong to me directly. The first tun will be Lian, and the two of Wei and Yue will lead the five
The original immigrants were mainly the original immigrants, and the first group was mainly composed of elite veterans sent by Zang Min. Then the infantry was still mainly composed of Cheng Pu... Demou was a general, and if he was useful, he was the military officer (bow and crossbow) of that group.
I might as well hand it over to him for deployment. In the end, Zi Heng still took charge of the general affairs of the camp for me, including companions, food and grass, and armor... Although the companions in the camp were not equipped with iron armor, they could still be equipped with some leather armor, bows and spears.
, and also handed them over to Zi Heng for disposal."
"I knew Wen Qi had some understanding in her heart." Lu Fan applauded rarely. "It's well organized and well arranged. It's so good!"
"By the way, since we mentioned..."
"One more thing..."
The two spoke at the same time, but couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Wen Qi is the commander-in-chief, just tell me." Lu Fan said simply.
"Yesterday I received a letter from my mother." Gongsun Xun nodded. "She told me one more thing. She suggested that I should prioritize my military training properly. In addition to taking one day off every tenth day, I should also take another day off every five days, and on that day
Let the soldiers play Cuju, compete with arrows, and race horses. Even every half month, preferably in January, you have to take the soldiers to Bailang Mountain to shoot hunting... Of course, you have to take the initiative to pay for the rewards every time."
"I think it's feasible." Lu Fan lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying immediately. "Although I don't understand the art of war, I also know the story of Wang Jian's attack on Chu. A famous general like this thinks his morale is high when he sees the soldiers throwing stones and making a show.
There is some truth to it. Moreover, it is fair enough to impose rewards in this way. Everyone can see it and no one will be dissatisfied."
Gongsun Xun immediately nodded again: "That's it. Please ask Zi Heng to take care of this matter. Later I will give you the rules and venue planning for Cuju, archery, and horse racing written by my mother..."
"Does your father also understand this kind of thing?" Lu Fan was rarely surprised.
Gongsun Xun sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, my mother always lamented that if she had been a boy, my family's Amway would have been able to drive all the way from Liaoxi to Rinan. But I know that if my mother was really
As a man, I'm afraid the world would have been messed up by her all the way from Liaoxi to Rinan... But fortunately not, otherwise I would be gone!"
Lu Fan was shocked.
"I'm going to have dinner with the soldiers." Gongsun Xun finished explaining the matter and waved his hands to leave. "Zi Heng has been working hard on these things recently."
Lu Fan nodded slightly, turned around, and then realized that he seemed to have forgotten to tell the other party something, but at this time, his mind was filled with all kinds of whimsical letters and incredible rumors from his lord's mother.
I couldn't remember what I was going to say just now, so I just ignored it.
On the other side, Gongsun Xun went to have breakfast with the soldiers, and then went to distribute the military pay for this month in person... Of course, there was no need for a special reminder from Gongsun Auntie. How many years ago, he had been influenced by his mother's ears and eyes.
I have learned all these convenient and cost-effective methods.
It can even be said that if the soldiers do not eat, they will not eat, if the soldiers do not sleep, they will not sleep, and for the soldiers who have performed well and showed hard work, they will take off their clothes and push them to eat... These methods, after he drives them away
Zhang Qi, after preparing the military establishment and calming down, did almost everything he could.
Otherwise, how can he lose a piece of flesh by doing this? On the contrary, Gongsun Xun felt vaguely puzzled by those celebrities who maintained a noble attitude... Why can't these people put down their dignity and do things that are obviously not harmful to them?
Make yourself look like a different person!
"Young Master!" Just when Gongsun Xun had distributed the military pay to a group of soldiers and was about to take a short rest, Jia Chao suddenly gasped and brought a letter to him. "A letter from Mr. Fan in Luozhong, in a brocade bag."
Yes, sealed with red thread, just arrived."
Gongsun Xun nodded slightly, but he quickly accepted the letter with some curiosity, because according to the agreement, only major events will use the tips, and only emergency events will use the red thread... However, just last month, Gongsun Fan
But a letter in this format had already been sent. The letter informed him that the imperial court had just identified the direct descendant of the famous Guo family in Taiyuan County, the grandson of Guo Zun, the former Guanglu doctor, and the son of Guo Quan, the former chief minister of agriculture, Yangqu Guo Jian.
The prefect of Yanmen also took the initiative to restrain himself after receiving the news, and stayed in Pingcheng without daring to make any mistakes.
And if that's the case, what big things can happen now? Will urgent matters be sent from Luoyang?
However, as soon as he opened the letter paper in the brocade bag, he could only read a few lines. Gongsun Xun, who had some doubts before, immediately changed his expression!
"At that time, Taizu went to Pingcheng to be the commander of another department, and he was the leader of five hundred people according to the system. (Lv) Fan was responsible for the general affairs in the camp, and there were many heroes in Bingzhou, and the camp was full, so many of them were dismissed. However, after they withdrew, none of them
Wanting to go, he begged and said: "I have prepared my own bows and horses. I am not paying for them, but I want to stay in the camp." Fan Dahuo asked: "Why is this happening?" He said to him: "The world is at a loss, people's hearts are uncertain, and Sima is in the army.
, practice more benevolence and righteousness, we will attach it to you with virtue! 'Fan Gan's words were to admonish Taizu to establish a system of righteousness, and to recommend Han as a general." - "Jiu Yanshu". Volume 68. Biography 18.
