Chapter 274 Several Veterans
Youzhou General Mansion
Chen Yue, who had rested for a day, was sitting at the head of the table. There were four figures sitting in the room, all wearing armor and showing extraordinary majesty.
They are Youzhou General Wang Rusong, Youzhou Cavalry Commander Lang Yi, Cavalry Deputy Commander Shi Tiangong and Infantry Commander Liang Suichao. The position of Youzhou Infantry Deputy Commander is temporarily vacant.
Chen Yue's eyes swept over the people in the room, with some helplessness in his eyes. Except for Wang Rusong, who was in his prime, the other three all looked a bit old. Shi Tiangong was the oldest, and Lang Yi and Liang Suichao were slightly better, probably in their early fifties.
But several of them have turned white at the temples.
No wonder Wang Rusong was full of envy when he saw his young generals in Liangzhou, and almost drooled. It turned out that the generals in Youzhou were much older than the generals in Liangzhou.
The cavalry commander Lang Yi saw Chen Yue's expression and said straightforwardly: "Why, General Chen, does he look down on us bad old men? We still went to the battlefield and killed the barbarians!"
What happened to Shi Jia's grandson had already reached the ears of several people. From the bottom of their hearts they admired the young Marquis of Beiliang's methods, so Lang Yi's tone was not sarcastic, but rather joking.
"Come on, old man Lang." The infantry coach Liang Suichao on the side rolled his eyes: "You are old when you are old. I have to admit that I heard that you went to race horses with Bu Wenshan, the new deputy commander of the right cavalry army, a few days ago.
How about it, it’s a shame and a big loss, isn’t it?”
It turned out that after Bu Wenshan led the right cavalry army to station in Youzhou, Lang Yi had a good impression of this cavalry general from Youzhou, and he wanted to compete with Bu Wenshan in horse racing. As a result, the old general lost three games in three games.
, and for a time he became the subject of ridicule by several veterans.
Lang Yi was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared: "That's because I let him do it on purpose. You know nothing!"
"Haha, the old general is right." Chenyue said with a smile: "I guess the old general must be helping Bu Wenshan establish his prestige! I want to teach this kid a lesson later, but I don't know how to restrain myself a little to save some face for the old general.
."
"Hahaha."
The crowd roared with laughter.
Wang Rusong waved his hand, regained his normal expression and said to Chen Yue: "It's a joke, but the situation in the Youzhou Army is like this. Since the Tianlang World War, all the elite generals have been destroyed, and the new recruits have not experienced any wars.
It is really impossible to promote some young generals, and now it is somewhat difficult to select backbone generals."
Lang Yi and the three people in the room all nodded with a wry smile. This is a fact, and there is nothing that cannot be admitted without losing face.
Chenyue had actually expected this situation. If Liangzhou had not been a war to conquer the south, so many young generals would not have emerged, so he said: "I have a preliminary arrangement, and I would like to ask the generals to see if it is possible."
feasible."
"General Chen, please speak!" Several people raised their hands at the same time.
Chenyue cleared his throat and said: "Now that Liangyou and Liangyou are jointly forming a border army, the infantry armies of the two states will not move for the time being, and the fists of the cavalry army will be tightened first. What I mean is that I want to ask General Lang to be the commander of the right cavalry army.
When the Tianlang Army is newly established, General Shi will be asked to be the commander-in-chief. If there are not enough backbone generals in the army, we can first transfer them from the Liangzhou Army, and if there are outstanding people in the future, how about appointing them?"
Lang Yi and others looked at each other, then nodded and said: "I will obey the general's military orders!"
Wang Rusong and others felt a little happy and relieved. In fact, after the merger of the border armies of the two places, the Youzhou army was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of talents, but Chenyue still readily offered several coaching positions without leaving any empty space.
The meaning of Youzhou General.
"Okay, then it's settled!" Seeing that no one had any objections, Chen Yue agreed happily, then turned to Wang Rusong and asked: "About the recruitment of elite cavalry from the Youzhou Army to add to several first-class cavalry armies.
How's it going?"
Wang Rusong replied: "I have been busy with this matter for more than a month. Except for the Tianlang Army, which is composed of 10,000 elite soldiers, the rest of the brave and skilled soldiers have basically been sent to various armies to start training. Only
However, the number is not very large, and the elite cavalry is still dominated by soldiers from Liangzhou."
Chenyue nodded. It seemed that Wang Rusong was doing things very neatly and the progress was faster than expected.
"That's right." Wang Rusong seemed to have remembered something, and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Yue, saying: "This was just sent by Hu Lianghan, the newly appointed envoy of Beiliang Dao Ma Zhengsi.
General, take a look."
Chen Yue's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask about this matter. It turned out that the letter had already been delivered, so he quickly took the letter and read it.
In the letter, Hu Lianghan listed in detail various strategies for grading war horses, including how various war horses should be raised from an early age, how to train them, etc. Everything was explained in detail in the letter. It was obviously planned.
A lot of effort.
"Haha, it's very much what I like. You should take a look too!" Chen Yue smiled and handed the letter to several people.
A few people were confused and began to circulate it.
After reading the letter, Wang Rusong smiled bitterly and said: "There is such a great talent in Xianping Racecourse, but I didn't realize it. I admire how the Marquis can recognize people with his keen eye within a month of coming to Youzhou."
Several old generals nodded frequently, obviously very satisfied with Hu Lianghan's overall plan.
"How is it?" Chen Yue smiled.
"No problem, I agree." Lang Yi smiled.
"I agree too." Shi Tiangong also replied. As for the infantry coach Liang Suichao, he laughed. After all, the war horse matter has little to do with the infantry.
"Okay!" Chen Yue slapped the table: "Then from today on, Beiliang Dao war horses will be bred separately. War horses with superior explosive power and speed will be designated as first-class war horses, and war horses with only superior explosive power will be designated as second-class war horses.
War horses, the fastest ones are designated as C-class war horses. The three first-class war horses are given priority to the elite cavalry, and the other more ordinary war horses are first equipped to the largest left and right cavalry and ordinary garrison cavalry. The specific work of raising horses is left to
Hu Lianghan supervised the operation, and the news was immediately conveyed to all major racecourses!"
"No!" Wang Rusong and others shouted at the same time.
Liang Suichao hesitated and said: "There is a question. In the future, there will definitely be elite soldiers among the other side cavalry. If the first-class war horses continue to supply those troops, will it cause complaints from the soldiers below?"
As an outsider, Liang Suichao raised a very practical question: who in the cavalry does not want good horses? It would indeed be unfair to only supply a few elite cavalry troops.
"That's what the general said." Chen Yue frowned and nodded, but he didn't take this into consideration.
"Easy to handle." Wang Rusong slapped the table: "Let your military exploits speak for itself. People with outstanding military exploits in the ordinary cavalry can also be equipped with first-class war horses. This will not only eliminate the complaints in the army, but also motivate the soldiers. If you don't have that ability, don't yell.
I need a good horse!"
Chenyue nodded happily: "General, that's a great idea. Let's do it like this. Notify Hu Lianghan and all the details will be implemented immediately. Don't delay!"
Chapter completed!
