"I heard that the general sent an envoy to ask the king for money again!"
"Not only money, the general also asked the king for a lot of land and houses."
"Hey, why is the general so greedy? He wants money, land, and houses. I think he is close to asking the king for a woman. If the general opens his mouth, the king might..."
"shut your mouth!"
Shejian flew up and kicked Hei Butt in the butt. Hei Butt, who had just been laughing with his colleagues, leaned forward and almost fell down, and was immediately furious.
He turned around and was about to argue with Shejian when he saw the tent curtain raised and a young general coming in from outside the tent.
Black Hips immediately laughed, and regardless of Shejian kicking his butt, he hurriedly shouted: "The general is here, our General Zhao is here."
"General Zhao."
In the tent, Shejian, Heibu, Xiqigu, Bai Rong, Zhao Guang, Zhang He and other old subordinates all saluted and said hello.
There was another military general in the corner wearing a double crown and he quickly stood up and shouted, "I've seen General Zhao."
Zhao Tuo nodded in agreement with everyone, and when he reached the general in the corner, he smiled and said: "Brother Su is here. With Brother Su helping me, I will follow the general to attack Chu this time. I will be like a ferocious tiger with added wings."
"The general has commended you. Su Jiao is just an official. He is lucky enough to be able to serve the general."
Su Jiao looked at Zhao Tuo complicatedly.
In the battle to conquer Yan in the past, a small but short-handed general under his command has now become a high-ranking general in the blink of an eye. He has the same title and position as Li Xin when he conquered Yan. How could Su Jiao not be surprised by such a rapid rise?
extremely.
Even after Fa Yan returned to Xianyang, he and Zhao Tuo had a very close relationship, and even invited him to live in the mansion permanently, and they had a close relationship with each other. But now, facing the huge difference in titles, Su Jiao could not help but feel awe.
Unavoidably unfamiliar.
Zhao Tuo knew clearly in his heart that Su Jiao was different from Heiyi, Shejian and other old subordinates. As a former old boss, his mentality would definitely be more complicated.
However, this was the time when the generals were meeting in the tent, and it was not easy for him to tell Su Jiao more. He could only invite him to the tent in private to untie his knot.
Zhao Tuo asked Zhong Lizhen and Lu Wan who had followed him to take their seats, then walked to the main seat and started talking about business.
The so-called business refers to the appointment of personnel in the army for this expedition.
The military system of the Qin army.
Each song and one military commander govern five thousand people.
Each department has one captain and has jurisdiction over 10,000 people.
General Pi will allocate and make flexible arrangements according to the number of troops.
In the past when he was conquering Yan, Li Xin was sent by Wang Jian to train reinforcements and was in charge of 20,000 soldiers.
Now that Wang Jian is attacking Chu, he has commanded an army of 600,000, and the number of people under his command, General Pi, will naturally increase a lot.
As far as Zhao Tuo knew, most of the generals such as Feng Wuze, Qiang Yu and others were in charge of 30,000 people.
But Zhao Tuo was different. Perhaps Wang Jian and Wei Liao considered that he had only led five thousand soldiers and had no experience in large-scale combat. Although they appointed him as General Pi according to his title, they were only assigned two subordinates.
Ten thousand soldiers are among the generals who command the fewest troops.
Zhao Tuo was not angry, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
He has climbed up from the grassroots level, so he naturally knows that commanding troops to fight is not a joke. It is not simply that the more people, the better. It must be matched with your commanding ability. If you do not have the ability to command troops, too many troops will only
It will have the opposite effect….
For Zhao Tuo, it was extremely easy for him to lead 5,000 people, and he was equally capable of leading 10,000 people.
But 20,000 people is almost his limit, and it will take him some time to adapt and grow.
When Zhao Tuo can command these 20,000 people like an arm and a finger, he can command more troops.
Moreover, although Wang Jian only gave Zhao Tuo 20,000 troops, he received corresponding compensation in other aspects.
The first point is that the soldiers he gave Zhao Tuo were all elite soldiers from internal history!
This time, 200,000 troops were dispatched from Guanzhong, and 100,000 soldiers were killed. Among them, only 50,000 were from internal affairs forces, and the other 50,000 came from Shangjun, Longxi and Beidi counties.
Compared with the three counties, the Qin talents in Neishi are the real elite soldiers of the Qin State, with high morale and strong fighting ability.
Very strong fighting ability.
As locals, many of them had seen the grand scene of Zhao Tuo presenting his prisoners to victory in Xianyang City. They had long admired this young general who was victorious in every battle. They knew that following Zhao Tuo would lead to victory, so the war had not started yet.
, just gearing up one by one, looking at Zhao Tuo with his eyes shining.
Zhao Tuo had already gained most of the military's morale without even starting training.
The second point is that at Zhao Tuo's request, Wang Jian and Bang Wei's Mansion also opened a back door for him.
Not only did he continue to put his old subordinates under Zhao Tuo, but also transferred all the high-ranking officials above the fifth official to other departments during the allocation.
In this way, Zhao Tuo's three top officials, Shejian, Zhao Guang and Heiyi, had no competitors. Their titles were considered outstanding among the 20,000 people, and they could be appointed and removed as school officials by Zhao Tuo as they should.
The position of captain.
This time Zhao Tuo gathered his cronies to start making appointments.
"Colonel, hey, hey, I'm an old subordinate of the general. This time, the duties of the two captains will probably be divided between me and Shibama."
"I called myself Black-butt Colonel in front of the King of Chu, and now it's about to come true. Thinking about it, I'm really excited."
The black hip grinned, and when he thought that he was about to be appointed as a school captain, he couldn't help but twist his buttocks, and he became more and more proud.
As for Zhao Guang, who is also the fifth doctor, he is not as close as himself to the general, so there is no need to worry.
Zhao Tuo glanced at the faces of the three fifth doctors.
Seeing the black buttocks, her face lit up with joy, and her buttocks were already raised.
Shejian and Zhao Guang had calm expressions on their faces, quietly waiting for Zhao Tuo's appointment.
Zhao Tuo already had an idea in his mind.
He opened his mouth and said: "There are two captains in the two divisions under my command, namely Shejian and Zhao Guang."
"Okay, my black buttocks finally became a colonel... What, General Zhao, A Tuo, how did you..."
Black Butt was halfway through speaking when he realized what Zhao Tuo had said. The smile on his face suddenly froze and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Thank you, General."
Shejian and Zhao Guang stepped forward and accepted the order. Although their faces were slightly happy, they looked very calm.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Black Buttocks was very dissatisfied, and he jumped to his feet and said: "General, I have carried a spear for you, I have performed meritorious services for you, and I have shed blood for you..."
"Do you know the art of war?"
Zhao Tuo spoke calmly.
The black buttocks that had been so excited just now suddenly withered, and he was speechless.
"Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. If senior military officials are not familiar with the art of war, they will be able to march and set up formations and fight on the battlefield."….
"With your abilities, you may be able to serve as a commander of two to five hundred people, and you can barely be a military commander, but for the position of a captain who controls ten thousand people, I'm afraid you don't have the ability yet."
"Black buttocks, if you can study the art of war well and study hard with a calm temperament, you will still have the opportunity to be promoted in the future. If you only know how to rely on your title, be complacent and waste your life day by day, without even reading the military manual, I am afraid that you will be the military commander.
That’s right. You should always learn to control your temper in the future.”
Zhao Tuo's tone became increasingly serious, and in the end, it was even harsh.
Although Black Buttocks was loyal to him, he was from a low background, was vulgar, vulgar, and had no knowledge. He was suddenly promoted to a high nobility, and was quite arrogant.
If he allowed it to go on, he would be in trouble sooner or later. Zhao Tuo took advantage of this incident to reprimand him and suppress his arrogance.
"only……"
Black Butt looked down with a grimace.
Zhao Tuo's words really left him speechless, and all the resentment in his heart disappeared.
He has the same title as Zhao Guang, but he is not familiar with the art of war and cannot compete with Zhao Guang. This rigid condition convinced him.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have gone back to play with my wife. I have stayed in Xianyang these few months to learn the art of war from the general and Shejian. Now maybe I will be a school captain."
In the meantime, Zhao Tuo had appointed the remaining cronies.
The five doctors with black buttocks are a military commander.
Bai Rong, West
Qigu only has the title of Duke, and is no match for several public servants in the army. He can only serve as two commanders of two to five hundred men under Black Buttocks.
Su Jiao and Zhang He both only had the title of official official, and were also appointed to the position of chief of two to five hundred.
As for Zhongli Mei, he only had the third-level title of Hairpin Bird, so Zhao Tuo made him a short-term general and kept him at his side.
Lu Wan did not have a title, so he was treated as a follower, responsible for Zhao Tuo's daily life and learning to convey military orders.
As for the remaining military positions, Zhao Tuo distributed them to others according to their titles and births after careful consideration.
After everything was done, Zhao Tuo's army of 20,000 people was fully organized and officially followed the army to the outside of Hangu Pass and headed towards Chu.
However, before these 200,000 troops left Hangu Pass, their supreme commander, General Wang Jian, had already sent the fifth batch of envoys to Xianyang.
[In view of the general environment, Your Majesty, I want money.
King, I want the land.
Your Majesty, I still want to...
Such behavior not only made countless people in the army laugh at him, but even Wang Jian's deputy general Yang Duanhe couldn't stand it.
"The general's borrowing has gone too far."
Facing his old friend for many years, Wang Jian smiled bitterly and spoke his mind.
"Otherwise. In the past few years, four of the six kingdoms in Shandong have been destroyed. I destroyed Zhao Poyan, and my son, Wang Ben, poured water into the beams and destroyed Wei. Looking at the past three generations, there are two fathers and sons who have destroyed three kingdoms of ten thousand chariots in a row.
Things? Not to mention that I now command 600,000 soldiers of Kongguo. How can your Majesty be at ease?"
"So I can only ask the king for a good house in Meitian over and over again, showing that I have no big pursuits, and leaving Wang Ben and Wang Li in Xianyang as pledges, so that the king can feel at ease. The king can feel at ease, and we can
I can command my troops with peace of mind and fight on the front line to destroy Chu."
"What I did was just to tarnish my reputation and protect myself."
Yang Duanhe suddenly realized it, raised his hands and said: "The general really knows how to be a minister. Duanhe has benefited a lot from listening to your words."
Wang Jian smiled slightly.
For some reason, he thought of Li Mu, whom he couldn't defeat and finally killed by counterattack.
Without the monarch's trust and peace of mind, no matter how powerful you are, you will still die without a burial place.
"Chu Ling Yin Xiang Yan, I wonder if your King of Chu trusts you?"
Thinking of the various rumors spread by the Qin State in Chu.
