Xu Huang appointed Guan Yu as his personal guard general, commanded his personal guard camp, and temporarily acted as his deputy general.
As the Guan Duwei, he could only directly appoint generals below the Qujun Marquis. All the captains above the Qujun Marquis and the school captains need to submit an application, and now there are candidates. Only the personal guard camp is his private force.
No approval is required, and can be appointed directly.
Although the number of people in the personal guard camp is not large, it is the most elite force under his command, and he has always lacked a powerful general to command.
In addition to commanding the personal guard camp, the personal guard general can also command other battalions on behalf of Xu Huang and perform the functions of deputy generals. After the application is approved, Guan Yu can officially serve as the fake Guan Wei and become Xu Huang's deputy general.
Although Guan Yu was a little disappointed, he reluctantly agreed to see Xu Huang's sincerity.
Xu Huang immediately called a few confidants to meet Guan Yu. When Qu Junhou Xu Shang, who was originally acting as a personal guard general, saw Guan Yu, he was shocked by his burly body and his captivating power. He willingly gave up the wise and self-contained
For subordinates.
The next morning, Xu Huang sent someone to invite Guan Yu, had breakfast together, and then met with all the soldiers of the Qinwei Battalion.
When he left the door, he saw ten personal guards standing outside the door, wearing long swords around his waist, spears in his hands, and holding war horses.
Xu Huang waved his hand and ordered someone to take a big red horse one foot taller than an ordinary war horse, take the reins, and hand it to Guan Yu.
"Yunchang, you are majestic, and you don't have a good horse to show off your power. This Xiliang horse is given to you as a mount."
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment and quickly refused. "I don't dare to take it for me if I receive my merits and I don't dare to take it for me."
Xu Huang stuffed the reins of the horse into Guan Yu's hand and patted Guan Yu's hand. "Chang Yun, BMW will give him a hero. A hero like you, if you don't have a good horse, you can still use it even if you have superior martial arts skills. Besides, the emperor will
If you know you will come, you will have a good horse to give you. I am just taking the lead. If you have a good horse in the future, you will return it to me."
Guan Yu was in a complicated mood and couldn't speak.
He is tall and cannot withstand ordinary war horses, so it is difficult to fight for a long time. If he faces an ordinary opponent, he will decide the winner within a few rounds, which is fine. He really encounters strong enemies with equal chess and drums, such as Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and others.
, if you can't fight for a long time, the exhaustion of the horse became his biggest weakness.
He once asked Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to find a good horse, but he never got what he wanted. After arriving in Xuzhou, he lost contact with Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, and this wish was impossible again. When he saw Lu Bu's Red Rabbit, he
I was so jealous that I wanted to grab it directly.
Unexpectedly, Xu Huang would give him one.
Although this horse is not as good as the Red Rabbit of Lu Bu, it is also a rare good horse. It is priced at over 100 gold and can be found in it. Ordinary people have such a good horse and can only keep it themselves. Who is willing to give it to others?
And he was someone he had just met for less than a day.
Xu Huang's sincerity made him extremely warm and grateful.
"Since that's the case, I'll be disrespectful." Guan Yu took the reins of the horse and bowed his hand to give a deep bow.
"It should be like this." Xu Huang laughed loudly, got on the horse with Guan Yu, and left Guan City.
There were two hundred knights waiting outside the city. When they saw Xu Huang and Guan Yu coming out, they rolled over on their horses and prepared to set off.
Guan Yu was stunned. "There are so many cavalrymen in Guanzhong?"
"This is just my personal guard camp." Xu Huangyun said calmly: "Zhuaguanxing is a place that must be fought for by military strategists. Therefore, the emperor attached great importance to it and equipped me with two thousand people, five hundred cavalrymen, and more than a thousand horses were always prepared.
Once a great war begins, within ten days of the arrival of nearby military military soldiers, they can summon five thousand infantry and cavalry, with a number of more than a thousand cavalry. If necessary, they can also collect thousands of war horses for transportation."
Guan Yu was shocked when he heard Xu Huang talking.
Not to mention that five thousand infantry and cavalry can be summoned within ten days. As for the permanent troops in Guanzhong, two thousand five hundred people and more than one thousand war horses are simply a luxury.
Isn’t it because Liu Bei was able to occupy a place in Xuzhou because he had a thousand Hu cavalry?
There is no shortage of infantry in Kanto, but cavalry.
However, after Jizhou was occupied by Yuan Shao, Liu Bei lost contact with Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. The war horses were not replenished for a long time, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry became weaker and weaker. After the imperial court issued an edict to restrict the sale of war horses, Liu Bei could no longer find them.
Channels to supplement war horses.
His choice to surrender to Yuan Shao was related to the fact that the source of the war horse was cut off.
Now that I saw that I had so many war horses in just one Guan, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel that the court had a huge advantage in war horse resources after he mastered the Bingliang. In contrast, although Yuan Shao had acquainted with the Xianbei and Wuhuan in Youzhou, he had a relationship with the Xianbei and Wuhuan in Youzhou.
OK, it is still not as good as the court in Bingliang.
"There are so many war horses in the court?"
"The court lacks everything, but not horses." Xu Huang smiled and said, "Of course there are also high-quality weapons. The Hedong Iron Officers and the recently built Xiling Iron Officers are places for producing high-quality weapons. If you are
If you want a customized weapon, just turn around and I'll send someone to do it."
Guan Yu said "Oh", but he didn't care too much. The quality of weapons is far less important than the war horses.
The two walked forward for several miles and came to an open land. Xu Huang took Guan Yu and climbed the nearby hillside and looked down from a high place.
"Chang Yunchang, this place is called Fubo Valley. If an enemy comes from Hanoi, this is the last place in front of Guan Yu that is suitable for field battles." Xu Huang pointed to the terrain on all sides to explain the possible situation of the battle for Guan Yu.
When Guan Yu came, he had seen the terrain here and thought it was suitable for field battles, but he did not think about it carefully. After listening to Xu Huang's explanation, he realized that Xu Huang had careful preparations and careful arrangements for possible wars.
With the 2,500 stairs and cavalry in Guanzhong alone, using the favorable terrain here, Xu Huang was enough to prevent tens of thousands of troops from moving forward.
"I hope Yun Chang practices the cavalry's sudden battle here. If an enemy comes, his first skill will be Yun Chang's bag."
Guan Yu smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your care and fulfilling your mission."
——
For several days, Guan Yu and Xu Shang and others took their personal guard camp out of seclusion every morning, and went to Funiu Valley and different nearby terrains for drills.
He soon became familiar with Xu Shang and others.
Xu Huang came from a poor family and had no troops to speak of. After making meritorious service, he was highly valued by the emperor and appointed as the governor of Wu Meng to lead the Guan Duwei, which led to the personal guard camp. In addition to Xu Shang being his clan brother,
The others were recruited from Hedong military military soldiers.
The soldiers in Hedong's military farm were mainly Baibo's army. Most of these soldiers in the personal guard camp were also soldiers of Baibo's military, and they were from poor backgrounds. Now they were recruited by the court and farmed in Hedong. With food and clothing guaranteed, they were also very hard to train.
Guan Yu loved them very much. He not only lived with them, shared the joys and sorrows, but also taught them his martial arts.
Guan Yu and his infantry and cavalry are both good at swordsmanship. His swordsmanship is simple and effective, with strong lethality. It is a killing skill tempered from the sea of corpses and blood. He teaches this swordsmanship to Xu Huang's personal guard camp
, which is not only a reward for Xu Huang, but also a care for these personal guards.
With superior martial arts, you will have 10% more chances of survival on the battlefield.
Xu Huang often comes to Guan Yu to practice, and sometimes competes with Guan Yu in martial arts. The two have their own strengths. Xu Huang is quick and Guan Yu is very powerful. It is difficult to decide the winner within fifty rounds. In addition to fifty rounds, Guan Yu has obvious advantages.
It's right.
After a competition, Xu Huang said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, have you ever thought about using a long sword right away?"
"How to use a long knife right away?" Guan Yu asked back. "I have never seen it before."
"Why can't you use a long sword right away?" Xu Huang smiled and said, "You are tall and have long arms, and you are extremely strong, but you are the fastest. With a spear, you can't show your advantage, and using a long sword is more suitable.
At that time, with a knife, it was hard to stop the ghosts and gods.”
Guan Yu thought for a moment. "If this happens, I'm afraid I can only take action."
"That's right, no matter how long the long sword is, it is not as good as the spear and halberd. When encountering an opponent with high martial arts skills, you must first set the spear and halberd of the opponent and then counterattack." Xu Huang turned his head and looked at Guan Yu. "But if it was a melee battle, it would be a melee.
At that time, if you swing your long sword, you will be an unparalleled killing weapon."
Guan Yu's head was slightly thrust, and his heart was pounding. "Gongming, what would happen if he picked out hundreds of people with great heights and strength, wearing heavy armor, holding long swords to break through the enemy's formation? When he encountered the camp commanded by Gao Shun, there was
Is the chance of winning?"
Xu Huang was slightly stunned and then laughed. "Chang Yun, your idea is wonderful and worth a try. You can choose thirty or fifty people first. If it works, I will write a letter to ask for an edict, ask the emperor to issue an edict to give a knife and armor to form a strong one.
military."
Guan Yu blinked. "Can the emperor agree?"
Xu Huang patted Guan Yu's arm. "Chang Yun, you have never served the emperor, and you don't know that the emperor is a human being. When he was in Huayin, Li Jue and Guo Si led tens of thousands of Xiliang troops to chase him, and the emperor had only a few thousand steps under his command.
Everyone is in danger. The emperor goes deep into the camps of the generals, eats and eats with ordinary soldiers, seeks strategies to respond to the enemy, and must follow the good ones, so he defeats Li Jue and Guo Si."
"A dignified emperor, ask ordinary soldiers for advice on how to respond to the enemy?"
"The old soldiers in the army have fought for the rest of their lives. Who doesn't have many ways to save their lives? They just fight each other and cannot communicate with each other. The emperor summarized and refined them, removed the defecation and preserved the essence, and then fed back.
The soldiers will double the combat power of everyone. Thousands of people can break out of hundreds of thousands of people. If you have wonderful ideas, but can do it effectively, the emperor will choose good and follow it, and enjoy it but not do it?"
Guan Yu raised his thick eyebrows and nodded frequently. "No wonder the emperor was able to defeat Li Jue and win a great victory in Huayin. His way of governing the military was intimately consistent with me. Although those scholars were familiar with military books and regarded themselves as Confucian generals, they did not know that the real military tactics were in the hearts of the soldiers.
If you don’t care about your soldiers, how can you defeat the enemy and win?”
"This is God's will." Xu Huang smiled slightly. "Is it the only emperor who can use it for the sake of clouds?"
Guan Yu was silent for a moment, turned around and bowed to Xu Huang. "Gongming, I have a reluctant request."
"Chang Yun might as well speak out."
"I want to write to Liu Xuande to tell the emperor's policies and persuade him to come back." Guan Yu sighed. "Liu Xuande was mistaken for others. I don't know that although the court was poor for a while, he was wise and wise, and had great opportunities to revive.
If you can return to the court if you lose your way, you may be able to curb Yuan Shao's ambitions."
