General Zuo Shenwu and the envoy of the Southern Academy of Xuanhui, Xiang Xun, flipped through the troop resource book in his hand, handed it to his subordinates, and said, "No problem, just add this batch of soldiers."
After the Battle of Gaoping, Guo Rong realized the disadvantages of soldiers being unable to fight without their lives, so he rectified the military and political affairs.
He firmly believed in the principle that soldiers are more valuable than more. He did not allow local governors to expand their troops at will. Instead, he recruited warriors from all over the world and gathered them in Kaifeng to receive overall training. He selected those with superb martial arts to be incorporated into the Forbidden Army and became the great generals.
Zhou soldiers.
In this way, the Forbidden Army became the main force of Zhou's conquests.
Han Lingkun led eight thousand forbidden troops to the battle this time and achieved very good results.
The combat effectiveness of his eight thousand forbidden troops was obviously better than that of the local army led by Wang Jing, let alone the Shu soldiers.
This time, Han Lingkun's troops lost 1,800 people.
Xiang Xun naturally wanted to make up for him.
"General, Colonel Shidu wants to see you."
Xiang Xun showed a knowing smile and said, "Invite him in quickly!"
After thinking about it, Xiang Xun walked out of the camp to greet him personally.
Not all generals are without political acumen, Xiang Xun is one of them.
He also looked down on civil servants, but he had a very good relationship with the three prime ministers Wang Pu, Li Gu and Fan Zhi.
Without Luo Youdu's appearance, the task of conquering the four states of Shu would not have been Han Lingkun's, but Xiang Xun recommended by Wang Pu.
The feud between Shi Shouxin and Luo Youdu is well known to everyone.
The purpose of coming here is self-evident.
"Brother Shi, what kind of wind brings you here!"
Xiang Xun greeted him enthusiastically.
A smile appeared on Shi Shouxin's face: "Brother, the officials asked that boy Luo Youdu to create a man named Yuyingsi, do you know?"
Xiang Xunchang sighed: "How come I don't know."
Shi Shouxin said: "Brother, do you want to see his scholar who can't lift a knife step on our heads and show off his power?"
Xiang Xun said angrily: "Of course I don't want to."
Shi Shouxin said: "To be honest with you brother, I have a big feud with Naluo Youdu. Others are afraid that he is a popular figure in front of the officials, but I am not afraid. If he wants to take over the imperial camp, he has to ask his brother for soldiers. My brother cannot give them.
He is a decent soldier, let him raise the Imperial Camp Division."
Xiang Xun smiled and said: "Brother Shi, don't worry, even if you don't say it today, I will do it. We are a team, with civilians in charge of the army? How many years ago did it happen."
Shi Shouxin was overjoyed and said: "I feel relieved after my brother's words. This is one of my own, unlike some people!"
When he thought of Han Lingkun, he felt angry.
Last night, a group of their friends went to celebrate Han Lingkun's victory, and the topic of Luo Youdu came up during the dinner.
Shi Shouxin couldn't help but said a few words, which also attracted echoes. Unexpectedly, Han Lingkun turned his back and left the table, and said: "You are my close friends, and Brother Luo is also my good friend. I can't control your grudges with him.
I don’t want to care about it, we all have our own business. But it’s too disrespectful for you to slander my friend in front of me. It’s okay if you don’t drink this wine today.”
Shi Shouxin was so angry that he couldn't even calm down now.
Xiang Xun looked at Shi Shouxin, a smile flashed in his eyes. It would be better to let him make a fuss with such a reckless man. He might make the matter bigger and make the officials give up their thoughts. Even if it fails, he will anger the officials. In the end
It's not you who is unlucky.

Kaifeng Mansion!
Luo Youdu arrived at Kaifeng Mansion early. Zhang Jin received a notice from Zhang Qiong last night and arrived at Kaifeng Mansion earlier than him to wait.
"Here we come!" Luo Youdu greeted cordially: "Let's go in and talk."
Sitting in his seat, Luo Youdu motioned for Zhang Jin to sit down and asked: "Do you still have contact with the workers on the dock?"
Zhang Jindao: "Not only is there a connection, but it is deeper. Water transportation in Bianjing City is developed, and the forces on the dock are mixed. They often come into contact when handling cases. My subordinates have worked at the dock. With this relationship, they have a strong relationship with their subordinates.
There is also a certain degree of flattery. Building a good relationship with them will also help in handling the case."
Luo Youdu nodded. Compared with Zhang Qiong's simplicity, his brother is flexible and talented. He said, "If I recruit new soldiers among the dock workers, do you think it is feasible?"
Zhang Jin said: "It's not a problem at all. My subordinates don't have enough face. But as the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, the Prime Minister manages the people's livelihood in Kaifeng Mansion. If you say something about tightening the dock order, all the foremen will have to kneel down in front of you. If you ask them for people, they will
I dare not disobey. My husband recruited them, which is also a clever move. The dock workers have nothing else, and their strength is not inferior to that of the elite soldiers. It’s just that most of the workers who work in the docks have low status and bad backgrounds, and some belong to gangsters and are not qualified to join the army.
qualifications."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you can inform me. As long as you have ability, strength, good performance, and obedience, it doesn't matter if you have a black household or a humble one. If you want a household, I will create a household for him, and if you want a military household, I will create a military household for him."
Household. If one person is selected, the whole family will benefit."
Zhang Jin said suddenly: "Ms. sir, is this true?"
Luo Youdu said seriously: "Do you think I am telling lies?"
Zhang Jin grinned and said, "Mr. Sir, if this news goes viral, I'm afraid tens of thousands of workers at all the docks in Kaifeng will go crazy about it."
Luo Youdu stretched out his palm and said: "I don't want more. For this first batch, I only want five hundred. I want those with the strongest strength, the most endurance, and those with special skills."
Zhang Jin nodded and said: "I will contact you about this matter."
Luo Youdu nodded and said: "Go quickly."
Luo Youdu and Zhang Jin left Kaifeng Mansion together. He went to the dock, while Luo Youdu went to the government hall.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty felt that there were constraints from military generals, and it would be extremely difficult and dangerous to establish the Imperial Camp Division.
Luo Youdu was not embarrassed.
Most people think about problems with normal thinking.
Luo Youdu likes to do the opposite.
If the generals are restrained, it means that the civil servants are allies.
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp Division was Luo Youdu, but the Imperial Camp Division was directly under the control of the three prime ministers of the Council, that is, the temple.
The three prime ministers were responsible for the people's livelihood of the Zhou Dynasty, and the economic household registration was under their jurisdiction.
With the support of the council, household registration, military pay, and ordnance, nothing can be done.
If you have money, the best equipment, weapons, and people, is it difficult to build a military camp?
As long as you find a way, it's not difficult!
The only thing that cannot be overcome is the lack of generals at the grassroots level.
The composition of an army, in addition to the commander-in-chief, is composed of hundreds or thousands of grassroots generals.
Whether they can perfectly execute the instructions of their superiors is directly related to the operation of the army.
The level of the generals at the grassroots level is too low. Even if big bosses like Wu Qi and Han Xin were to take command, it would be difficult for them to be able to do what they want.
This cannot be resolved.
Therefore, Luo Youdu did not plan to directly recruit the full complement of five hundred people in the Imperial Camp Division, and then train and promote junior generals himself.
Once you have a certain amount of capital, you can expand the Royal Operations Department.
The best welfare, the best weapons, the best armor, and strong soldiers.
With Pan Mei as the general and Zhang Qiong as the vanguard, they create an invincible force with the same number of people.
I just don’t know if Pan Mei is willing to follow him and do this...
Luo Youdu arrived in front of the government hall in high spirits, got off his horse, and said loudly: "Commander of the imperial camp, Luo Youdu, wants to see the three ministers!"
