It is naturally good to be able to master the Northern Army.
Within the expected time, the world will be peaceful, and he, the general of the Fu Army, will no longer have any use of his power. He will either get rid of his army and return to the field or go to the court to serve as a free position.
But these were not what he wanted. He felt that he was not old yet and wanted to fight for a few more years to realize his dream.
If we could command the Northern Army, there would be no less opportunities.
From those candidates for the lieutenant, we can imagine how powerful and elite the newly built Northern Army was. How could the enemy not be defeated when commanding such an army?
The problem is that the Northern Army Zhonghou is only a small official with 600 stones. Even if the emperor will adjust in the future, he will not be much higher. Traveling to the Northern Army Zhonghou as a general of the army is equivalent to demotion in disguise.
Could the emperor do it on purpose?
In a blink of an eye, Han Sui thought a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more uneasy.
Have I made a mistake recently?
It doesn't look like the emperor's attitude.
Liu Xie looked at Han Sui, and was not in a hurry, waiting quietly.
Han Sui is known as the Nine-Curve Yellow River. He is famous for his many scheming and cunning. He will inevitably think more when encountering problems. He also took this opportunity to explore Han Sui's background.
This time, the attack on Jizhou seemed to be invincible, but there were many potential crises.
The danger does not come from the opponent - Shen Pei, Tian Feng has become a turtle in the jar and cannot cause any storm - but from the inside.
Shi Sun Rui and Han Sui competed for the two veterans, plus Xun You and Liu Bei, the Mesozoic generals like Xun You and Liu Bei, and a group of new generation generals who have just officially entered the main force of the court. They are selfless and sincere and united, and it is obvious that they are too ideal to fight openly and secretly.
.
Competition is inevitable, but the intensity must be controlled well, otherwise it will become an internal strife.
Letting the General of Cavalry take charge of Jingzhou instead of leading his troops to Luoyang is just not hoping that they will compete too hard and others will take advantage of the loopholes.
Since he was confirmed that Shi Sun Rui was the chief general, he would give Han Sui a hope so that he would not go to extremes.
Han Sui weighed the pros and cons, finally gritted his teeth, made a decision, and bowed to take the order.
"Your Majesty does not dislike me for being old and disobedient. I am willing to take advantage of you."
As long as your Majesty, you are willing, I can do whatever I want. Not to mention being a member of the Northern Army, even if I ask me to ride a horse to deliver the letter, I will do it.
Liu Xie couldn't help but smile and reached out to hand over a cup of tea. "With the help of Mr. Han, big things can be accomplished. Come and have some things to ask for when I drink tea."
"How dare the old minister?" Han Sui felt relieved, took the tea with both hands and took a sip of the tea. "Good tea is slightly bitter but not astringent, and has endless aftertaste."
Liu Xie turned to Ma Yunlu and said, "Take some for Han Gong."
Ma Yunlu smiled and said, "Vei."
Han Sui quickly said a few humility, then thanked him, sat down again, and waited for Liu Xie's instructions.
Liu Xie told him a few things.
The first thing is to expand the source of the Northern Army.
In this time, except for Han Sui, Liu Bei and others, there were only more than 10,000 elite troops in the prefectures and counties that could be included in the Northern Army. With the previous five colleges, the total number was over 20,000.
To achieve the expected 40,000 to 50,000 people, at least half of them will be expanded.
Liu Xie planned to choose some from Han Sui's subordinates.
Han Sui's subordinates were mainly from the people of Xiliang, originally concise, and were assisted by students from the first martial arts lecture halls such as Huang Yi and Jiang Jie. The progress in the past two years is obvious to all, and their combat capabilities and military discipline are the leaders of the army.
During this exercise, Han Sui's subordinates performed well, except for the imperial guards, only behind Xu Huang's troops.
Of course, this is the next thing. Before pacifying Jizhou, these people were still under Han Sui's command. Who to transfer to the Northern Army in the future depends on the military achievements of this expedition to Jizhou.
The Northern Army only has real elites.
Han Sui readily obeyed.
Since he will transfer to the Northern Army in the future, transferring part of his subordinates into the Northern Army will not only enhance the strength of the Northern Army, but also facilitate him to take over the Northern Army in the future, with the best of both worlds.
The second thing Liu Xie said was the Northern Army’s rotation training.
As the main force of the imperial guards, the Northern Army not only needs excellent equipment and strict training, but also has opportunities for actual combat. If it is stationed in the capital, it will inevitably be abandoned after a long time.
The world is not peaceful, and there is no shortage of opportunities for actual combat. After peace, it is hard to say.
Even in wartime, there are long roads, and whether to provide timely reinforcements can be made.
Therefore, Liu Xie wanted to prepare for the future and make arrangements in terms of systems.
He planned to divide the Northern Army into two parts: internal and external divisions. The internal army guards the capital, external army guards the border, and rotates regularly.
The preliminary plan is to control the total force of the internal army to 40,000 to 50,000 and the external army to 80,000 to 100,000, so as not to be unable to afford military expenditures in the court.
With these 150,000 elite troops as the main force, we ensure that 50,000 to 100,000 mobile troops are available at any time, and we should be able to deal with most wars within the territory.
Liu Xie chuckled softly and said, "Of course, this is a further plan, and only Mr. Han knows it now."
Han Sui's heart beat faster and his blood surged.
If it is true as Liu Xie said, the size of the Northern Army is not 40,000 to 50,000, but 150,000. The difference between this Northern Army and the General is only the local soldiers in the prefectures and counties.
He understood what Liu Xie meant.
Liu Xie promised to hand over the military power to the Taiwei, but that was only the local military power, and the imperial guards still had to be controlled in their hands. In order to ensure that the imperial guards are used by the emperor, this part of the military power must be separated from the Taiwei Mansion and set up another heavyweight.
Will.
In order to control military power, the emperor tried his best to do so.
Shi Sun Rui and others definitely disagreed, so the emperor cannot say that now, and only discuss with him.
What else can Han Sui say besides fully supportive of Emperor Meng’s trust?
Excited, he made two suggestions.
First, the prefectures and counties still implement the military service system. Men of appropriate age — perhaps women can be added in the future — must serve in the military, and at least one year of military training, and only train during the slack season every year. The prefectures and counties come from these people.
The number of soldiers selected was selected and stationed locally for two years.
The second is to select elite troops from the prefectures and counties, join the Northern Army, and become permanent soldiers.
The regular soldiers do not engage in production, train in peacetime, and fight in wartime. They can last up to 50 years old to retire, and the age of the generals is appropriately relaxed.
In this way, we can ensure that these 150,000 Northern Army are the most elite force.
Liu Xie was satisfied with Han Sui's positive attitude, but was not satisfied. He hoped that Han Sui would go back and think about it again. Anyway, there was still time, so there was no need to rush for a while. The more full the conception now, the smoother the implementation will be.
Han Sui deeply agreed and took the tea prepared by Ma Yunlu and bowed to escape.
Liu Xie stood up and prepared to see Han Sui off.
Han Sui was very grateful and repeatedly begged Liu Xie to stop. Liu Xie finally took a few symbolic steps, and stopped after sending Han Sui outside the threshold. He himself did not even step out of the threshold.
Even so, it was enough to make Han Sui feel excited and as if he was bathed in the spring breeze.
Seeing Han Sui leaving with brisk steps, Liu Xie raised the corners of his mouth.
Ma Yunlu walked over, stood beside Liu Xie, watched Han Sui's back disappear outside the door, and smiled and said, "He seems to be ten years younger."
Liu Xie turned his head to look at Ma Yunlu and took her hand. "Full people and use everything. He is also a rare hero in Liangzhou. He will not let him devote himself to his work, and the candles turn into ashes.
, wouldn’t it be a pity?”
"He is lucky. He met His Majesty. He is nearly 60 years old and still has the opportunity to redeem his sins and achieve great success." Ma Yunlu sighed quietly. "How great it would be if others could have such luck."
Liu Xie thought for a while. "Are you talking about Dong Zhuo?"
Ma Yunlu nodded. "And Yan Zhong."
