Chapter 886 Cavalry and Archery Legion, Chinese Army
There is no suspense about the next Central Army and Imperial Guard, and there are only two generals left in the Quartet.
Especially these two generals from all directions were deeply trusted by Liu Zhang.
"General Zhao Yun obeys the order!"
After calling out this name, Liu Zhang felt inexplicably close to him.
I vaguely remember my inner joy when I was awarded the title of General and opened my mansion.
For a long time, the world called him this!
"I'm here!"
Zhao Yun has a tall and upright posture and is full of energy.
Who would have thought that eighteen years ago, Zhao Yun was still a farmer in the village?
Zhao Yun's martial arts skills are astonishing, and it is no exaggeration to describe him as invincible in the world.
Long-term experience in the battlefield has allowed Zhao Yun to perfect his command skills.
No matter where you look, Zhao Yun can become a unique general!
"Zilong, do you still remember the martial arts camp that was originally established?"
A strange color flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and then he nodded slowly.
Martial Arts Camp, this is a name that is unfamiliar to most people in the palace.
Even Zhang Liao, the general who conquered the east, Xu Huang, the general who conquered the west, and Gao Shun, the general who conquered the south, would be a little confused.
When the martial arts camp was first established, Liu Zhang had only four people under his command: Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun.
Therefore, Wushe Camp, Wufeng Camp, Wuwei Camp and Wuqi Camp were established respectively.
For more than ten years, Wushe Camp, Wufeng Camp, and Wuwei Camp have repeatedly made military exploits.
Wu Fengying even achieved a great reputation, making everyone in the world tremble.
Only the Martial Cavalry Battalion seemed to have been forgotten. It had always been an organization with less than a thousand people and was left in Hanzhong.
Even Zhao Yun, the original commander of the Martial Cavalry Camp, gave up the Martial Cavalry Camp and became the commander of the Huwei Camp.
There are actually only seven people who really know the reason for this.
Liu Zhang, Jia Xu, Xun You, Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun.
The purpose of establishing the cavalry battalion is to create a cavalry and archery unit like the Huns' light cavalry.
Due to problems with soldiers, horses, etc., the cavalry camp was put on hold.
"Zilong, Gu vaguely remembers all the difficulties in the martial arts camp back then. I wonder how you feel about it now?"
The hard issue at the beginning was war horses, and the soft issue was personnel.
Before leaving Hanzhong in the north, even the war horses of the Wufeng camp could not be guaranteed. How could Liu Zhang organize the Wuqi camp?
However, today is different from the past, and war horses will no longer be able to restrain Liu Zhang.
As for the personnel problem, it has been solved long ago with the emergence of bilateral stirrups, saddles and horseshoes.
Zhao Yun shook his head gently, showing a look of expectation.
It’s the best time to set up the martial arts battalion!
"Mr. Qin, I promise that there will be no problems!"
"Okay! Zhao Yun obeys the order!"
Zhao Yun felt the extraordinary significance and immediately knelt down to accept the order.
"I have ordered you to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army and reorganize the 50,000-strong Chinese Army based on the Martial Cavalry Battalion. All standards will be in accordance with the Martial Cavalry Battalion!"
"I accept your order!"
Zhao Yun was extremely excited. Among all the military regions currently, only the Chinese Army has been re-established in the true sense!
"Zilong, the lone generals Xiahou Lan, Deng Xian, Lei Tie and Ma Yue have been transferred to the central army and are at your disposal."
"As for the Huwei camp under your command, I just took it away."
Firstly, Huwei Camp was composed of infantrymen, but secondly, more than half of them were lost.
It is indeed not suitable to stay in the Chinese Army, Zhao Yun has no objection to this.
"It all depends on Duke Qin's orders."
"Zilong, the position of military advisor of the Chinese army is concurrently held by Lu Su. You can go to Liangzhou and ask Lu Su for help in recruiting cavalry."
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, Liu Zhang's arrangement was exactly what he wanted.
Lu Su is currently serving as the governor of Liangzhou, which will definitely be of great benefit to the formation of the Chinese army.
"Thank you Duke Qin!"
Lu Su's appointment as governor of Liangzhou is only temporary. Once the Qiang problem is almost solved, he can step down as a full-time military commander.
Liu Zhang was extremely looking forward to the combination of Zhao Yun and Lu Su.
After the appointment of the Chinese Army was completed, only the Imperial Guards remained.
The Imperial Guard belongs directly to the king and is generally responsible for guarding the capital, the palace and other security tasks.
However, with the establishment of the Eastern Army, the Northern Army, and the Chinese Army and the release of missions, everyone knows that the responsibilities of the Imperial Guard are definitely not limited to the capital.
All current armies, the Northern Army and the Chinese Army are all cavalry and can only be used in battlefield battles.
The infantry used to attack the city was only under the command of the Eastern Army.
However, the Eastern Army will definitely focus on the Jingxiang area in the future, and it will definitely be unable to cope with the Central Plains battlefield.
Therefore, future battles with Cao Cao may all fall on the Imperial Guards.
"Dian Wei, the general on the right, Xu Huang, the general who conquers the west, Gao Shun, the general who conquers the south, and Wu Yi, the guard of the center."
Liu Zhang directly called out the names of the four people, further confirming everyone's suspicions.
None of these four people are ordinary people.
Even Wu Yi, who is the weakest on paper, still has the identity of a relative of Liu Zhang.
"I'm here!"
Dian and Wei all came out to respond loudly.
"Gu Ming Dian Wei is the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, and Xu Huang is the deputy commander-in-chief."
"The Wubu Camp, the Wuwei Camp, the Falling Camp, and the Huwei Camp were all merged into the Imperial Guards, and the army was expanded to... 70,000!"
"Dian Wei and Xu Huang are responsible for training the imperial guards for future attacks."
"Gao Shun is responsible for the captured camp, and Wu Yi is responsible for leading the army, guarding Chang'an and the imperial palace."
Regarding the internal deployment of the imperial guards, Liu Zhang gave more requirements.
The first is to fall into camp, and we cannot remain silent no matter what.
If Gao Shun thinks it's okay, he can continue to expand his army.
As for the merger of Wubu Camp, Wuwei Camp, and Huwei Camp, Liu Zhang had already had an idea.
An army of ten thousand people performed well in the early stages of the battle for hegemony.
Regardless of mobility, command, and flexibility, they are all very eye-catching.
However, as the scale of the war continues to expand, more than 100,000 soldiers are often required to participate in the war. This kind of battalion-by-battalion soldiers and horses is too difficult to coordinate.
In particular, the capabilities of the generals themselves will be greatly limited by the small number of soldiers.
By gathering the main battle troops and horses and conducting unified training and command, the generals can give full play to their commanding talents in wartime.
For example, Zhang Liao can command tens of thousands of troops in the Eastern Army, and Xu Huang can command tens of thousands of infantry in the Imperial Guard.
If a war breaks out again in the future, it may be a duel involving hundreds of thousands of troops.
The Qiang, Xianbei, and Huns, these experienced babies, will probably never come back.
The enemies we face in the future will be the most difficult enemies in the world!
In the future, it will completely become a game between experts.
At that time, it would be impossible for the Eastern Army, the Northern Army, the Central Army, and the Imperial Guard to fight independently. All Qin armies needed to cooperate with each other.
"The post of military advisor of the Imperial Guard will be temporarily held concurrently by Liu Ye, the governor of Yongzhou."
"I will take your orders!"
Dian and Wei had no objections to Liu Zhang's arrangement.
However, the selection of the Imperial Guard's military advisor exceeded everyone's expectations.
No one expected that the most powerful minister, Jia Xu, and minister Pushe Xunyou, did not serve as military advisers in any military region.
