"You have lost...I led 300 people to push your camp!" Lu Bu waved his hand on the sand table again.
Xu Shu:......
Facing Lu Bu's threatening eyes, what else could Xu Shu say?
"The general is brave!"
Indeed, the two of them have different styles. After all, Xu Shu is not a military general and prefers to command from the rear, while Lu Bu is better at leading the charge and fighting on the battlefield as a general. The two sides are good at different directions.
Generally speaking, a commander-in-chief who can control an army of 100,000 is considered top-notch. It seems that Han Xin, the military immortal, "the more the merrier", and if he takes the lead in charging into the battle as a general... Xiang Yu was the most glorious back then.
In the first battle, he only commanded 30,000 cavalry.
Just these 30,000 cavalrymen defeated more than 500,000 coalition forces in Pengcheng!
The maximum number of troops that Lu Bu can now lead is no higher than this number. An army of tens of thousands will eventually need a systematic and systematic command.
When Bai Tu asked his adoptive father to examine Xu Shu, he specially obtained a rule of ten thousand versus ten thousand for Xu Shu. They were all basic weapons for fighting in the wild...
It is true that in terms of military formations, Xu Shu is superior, especially Xu Shu's advantage of being better at breaking formations, but in fact, he did not have much effect against Lu Bu.
After all, Lu Bu mainly charges with light cavalry, often in a simple cone formation.
But even so, Lu Bu was still forced to use his "stunt" - I have taken the lead in the charge, you lose!
Xu Shu did lose.
He seemed to be using his troops roughly before, but he was already cautious. He was trying to surround Lu Bu and weaken the charging space of the opponent's mobile troops. He had a team of long guns and heavy shields ready at all times...
However, when Lu Bu finally charged, he first bypassed or led away these arrangements.
"Hahaha, you're not bad, um... It's a pity that it's hard to be awarded the title of general now, but since the king has entrusted you with important tasks, I believe that you won't have much meritorious service, so I will first serve as a general in the army.
We will wait until the matter at the Ministry of Industry comes to an end before arranging the release." Lu Bu patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and said.
Xu Shu grinned slightly when he was photographed, and at the same time he accepted Lu Bu's appointment.
It's not surprising that he didn't become a general. After all, Xu Shu had limited reputation before and had no official experience. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to directly appoint a general in Chu State. General Pi already recognized Xu Shu from Lu Bu himself, and he knew that Bai Tu was interested in him.
The result of being entrusted with important responsibilities.
At this time, the military of the Chu State regarded the envoys of the Privy Council as the most respected, and each room in the court tended to coordinate civilian affairs. The military ranks in the army were based on the Four Expeditions, followed by the Four Towns, then the Four Ans General, and then...
There are a lot of miscellaneous generals, and General Pi and Yamen are considered candidates for miscellaneous titles.
Zhonglang generals are specially appointed to lead local garrison generals, and they are above the Zahao, but they can only lead the local standing garrison or train new troops.
As for the titles of general, general of chariots and generals of hussars, they are just like the three princes and three divisions. They are honorary titles and have no real power.
and……
There are rumors in the military that the Privy Council has been soliciting opinions from senior generals in planning for the restructuring. It is said that after the restructuring, both the Four Expeditions and the various titles will have similar "honorary titles" and the actual duties will be arranged separately.
In fact, it is the separation of job titles.
It sounds fresh, but the implementation at this time is just a matter of necessity, not too hasty.
"Military ranks" are generally considered to be a professional military system that emerged in Europe in the 16th century. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were signs of separation of ranks in the armies of Wei, Shu and Wu.
However, it generally only appears at the "general" level, and there is no clear concept of promotion. It is closer to an "honorary rank" and does not start from the lowest soldier with a clear hierarchy like modern military ranks.
The main reason is that during the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the military positions were chaotic. There were a lot of generals and generals, and it was hard to beat other generals for no reason. Therefore, during the Wei, Shu and Wu periods, for example, the Shu Han Dynasty was based on the
There are four expeditions in four towns, and the miscellaneous numbers refer to military ranks, which have nothing to do with actual positions. The specific power in the army depends on military positions such as military advisor, leader, army supervisor, and army protector...
Just because the positions of Four Expeditions and Four Towns are not awarded to two people at the same time, they are closer to the concept of honorary titles.
Bai Tu took advantage of the situation and discussed with Lu Bu and other senior generals and military advisers to completely implement the separation of ranks and directly determine the complete military rank system. In fact, it is logical. Unlike the suggestions for the city wall, everyone is very supportive and has already reached the stage of detailed discussions before implementation.
stage.
Xu Shu had just joined, so he didn't know these "gossips", but he was very satisfied with the arrangement of the Privy Council and Bai Tu's trust, and he was very confident about the future...
Seeing that Xu Shu had gained Lu Bu's approval, Bai Tu also introduced him to his fellow Chu comrades who were accompanying him.
Originally, Bai Tu wanted him to go back to the Jinling Ministry of Industry first, but then he thought about it. Xu Shu's social skills were his strong point. To put it in terms, he was very charming!
Moreover, he has already studied in Nanyang for a period of time. Since he wants to recruit talents in Nanyang, why not take Xu Shu with him first?
Maybe there will be a bonus to Dengyong’s success rate...
"Yuanzhi, when you were in Nanyang, did you know Zhuge Liang who lived in seclusion in Longzhong?" Bai Tu asked Xu Shu.
Zhuge Liang should be in Longzhong now, but it is unknown whether Xu Shu has made friends with him or not.
"Huh?" Huang Chengyan spoke first, which surprised Bai Tu.
Xu Shu originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Huang Xueshi was about to speak, he looked at him first - the current Xu Shu was open-minded and sincere, but not rude.
"Xueshi Huang knows?" Bai Tu also asked.
Originally, Bai Tu asked Huang Yueying in private and confirmed that she did not have a fiancé, so she always thought that Huang didn't know Zhuge Liang yet, so it was dark under the lamp!
"Who did your Majesty hear talking about Kong Ming?" Huang Chengyan was also puzzled. He had just mentioned it to Huang Yueying before, but Huang Yueying ignored it at all. Later, he served in the Chu State, and he never mentioned it again... Huang Yueying probably didn't know about Zhuge Liang.
That's right.
"Didn't I go visit Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui before and listen to what they had to say?" Bai Tu pulled out his previous excuse.
"They recommended Kong Ming to the king?" Huang Chengyan's tone was full of confusion.
He was also very familiar with Pang De and Sima Hui, but because they were not expected to serve in official positions, he only reminded Bai Tu in advance instead of going with him to avoid the embarrassment of Bai Tu.
It was precisely because of their familiarity that Huang Chengyan felt that they would not recommend Zhuge Liang to Bai Tu.
"Oh, I heard something on the way, and then I asked the two elders... Ahem, it was because this person was not recommended to me at the beginning, so I paid special attention to it." Bai Tu said.
With a boss-like tone of "Kong Ming, you have caught my attention", he immediately grabbed the topic and said, "Does Huang Xueshi recognize it too?"
Huang Chengyan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Zhuge Kongming is indeed a genius in the world. From a certain point of view... the people in our great Chu who can defeat him are only two or three, and those who can compete with each other can't count more than two hands. Moreover, he only reached the championship last year. If
