The fifty-seventh chapter reorganization of the army (2)
After seeing the generals out of the tent, Li Luo stood in the big tent, looking from a distance, the military flags stretched and rustled.? ?? ?
Li Luo let out a long breath. Just as he was looking, King Huai walked out of the tent. Dou Sheng and four guards were still following him.
When King Huai saw Li Luo, he laughed and said: "Xuanlou, yes, the arrangements are very appropriate. He is worthy of being Chengye's son. I must speak well of Xuanlou in front of the emperor. I will write it when I get back tonight."
A memorial, Zhong Guo, will be sent back to the king to the royal city overnight."
Li Luo smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle. No need. We are only a hundred miles away from the royal city, so we won't have to worry about anyone who cares."
"What's the point? Your Majesty is trusting you and me, who dares to say anything." King Huai paused and said, "But Xuanlou's idea is reasonable, so I will write the memorial later."
Li dropped his jaw to thank him, and suddenly King Huai came closer and said with a low smile: "Xuanlou, tell the truth to the emperor, have you fallen in love with the little girl from the Hucha family?"
Li Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head. Seeing this, King Huai patted Li Luo on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing. This Princess Muchan has such wild energy, it makes me feel itchy in my heart.
However, Xuanlou, you will inherit the title of prince in the future, so you have to think carefully about the choice of this princess. Although this little girl is beautiful, she is not worthy of your title of prince. It’s okay just for fun, but you must not take it seriously.”
Li Luo was slightly disgusted, but he still had a faint smile on his face and said that he never had any wrongdoing towards Hucha Dongchan.
King Huai laughed and said: "Xuanlou, if you refuse like this, then the emperor will be rude. Don't blame the emperor for not letting you go in the future." After saying this, King Huai laughed loudly and left a trace.
Li Luo, who looked surprised, gradually walked away amidst the flattery and compliments of the guards.
Li Luo stood at the tent door and looked at King Huai's back. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Mr. Shen, do you regret going to the West Mansion with me?"
It was Shen Xiangdong and Chu Ying'er who stood quietly behind Li Luo. Shen Xiangdong was slightly surprised and replied: "Just now, I did think that I regretted being in the army with such a person, but how did General Li know?"
Li Luo turned to look at Shen Xiangdong, smiled slightly and said, "My heart thinks and my body moves."
Shen Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that General Li's martial arts has reached such a level. I underestimated him before."
When Chu Ying'er heard this, she glanced at Li Luo. Shen Xiangdong looked solemn and said, "I heard a few guards talk about General Li's martial arts skills a few days ago. Judging from what Miss Chu felt, it must be true."
Chu Ying'er said in surprise: "Did I say anything?" But she was still as cold as before.
Li Luo smiled and said: "Mr. Shen is indeed very attentive. Since we have been waiting for five years, Mr. Shen will not be impatient."
Shen Xiangdong was startled, then laughed dumbly and said, "Yes, I wasted five years in vain, not even these few months."
At this time, Ni Qing came over, saluted Li Luo and the two of them, and said, "General, my subordinates went down to prepare dinner. I wonder what the general would like to eat?"
Li Luo smiled and said, "Mr. Shen and I will eat whatever you guys eat. Miss Chu's cooking is more meticulous."
"No, I'm just like you." This was the first time Ni Qing heard Chu Ying'er speak. He shuddered involuntarily and took a step forward.
Li Luo smiled, nodded and said, "Then it's all the same. By the way, where's Wu Pa?"
"He is already helping his brothers in the army to cook. He is probably hungry." Ni Qing said with a smile.
Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong smiled at each other and asked Ni Qing to prepare. The three of them returned to the tent. Li Luo sat down and said, "Mr. Shen, Miss Chu, please sit down."
After the two sat down, Li Luo took a sip of tea, raised his head and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Shen's Western Expedition?"
Shen Xiangdong smiled sadly and said, "If I tell the truth, General Li will not want to hear it."
"Haha, sir, I'm quite straightforward, so I won't say anything more."
Shen Xiangdong glanced at Li Luo and said, "It's just a strong general who has assumed the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the army. He doesn't seem to be a famous person. General Li is not afraid of disobedience in the army?"
"As long as I don't die, it doesn't matter." Li Luo said calmly.
"Isn't it appropriate for this strong general to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the army?" Chu Ying'er asked curiously.
Shen Xiangdong glanced at Chu Ying'er, smiled slightly and said: "Miss Chu is still in the army, and the military generals of Dagan have strict ranks. Except for the marshal and general who are specially awarded by the emperor, the other generals are divided into nine levels.
Taibao, general and hussar general are the first level, and they can control an army of more than 500,000 people.
The generals of the auxiliary country and the generals of the army are the second rank, and can control an army of more than 200,000.
Next are the champion generals, Huaihua generals and Huaihua generals. Depending on the rank, the troops under their jurisdiction range from 50,000 to 100,000.
Those with slightly lower military ranks are General Yunhui, General Guide and General Guide. The number of troops under their jurisdiction shall not exceed 50,000.
The fourth-level Zhongwu General, Zhuangwu General and Huaihua Zhonglang General can lead an army of less than 30,000.
The lesser generals, General Xuanwei, General Mingwei and General Guide Zhonglang, can only lead about 10,000 people.
The fifth rank, such as General Dingyuan, General Ningyuan, Ranger General and Guerrilla General, can only lead more than a thousand troops, or serve in the army, and cannot lead an army alone.
The remaining battalion captains and corps commanders are divided into four ranks.
There are at least three or four military positions in each grade, and the number is more than dozens. There are senior and subordinate ranks, and they are divided into upper and lower ranks. For example, General Liu Ce of Yunhui is from the third rank, and General Dou Sheng of Zhuangwu He's just a fourth-grade official, lower than General Zhongwu Huchajing."
Chu Ying'er secretly smacked her tongue. She didn't expect Da Gan's military position to be so complicated, and then asked: "Then the general's military position is considered high?"
"Haha, it's very high. The first and second ranks are only subordinates, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. General Li is the general of the auxiliary country, and he is already the second rank. I don't know if there have been any newly awarded hussar generals in recent years. If not, General Li is second only to the Taibao in Dagan, Di Jie, the envoy to the west, and a few veteran generals in the court."
Chu Ying'er turned to look at Li Luo, who smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the deputy commander of the Dingbei Army is a hussar general."
Shen Xiangdong sighed and said: "Although the ranks are strict, among the Da Gan army, there are many who have led more than 10,000 troops and have been awarded the titles of General of the Auxiliary State and General of the Zhenjun. There are also some who have led the army like General Liu." With more than 50,000, he was only awarded the rank of General Yunhui. The soldiers fought hundreds of battles, but they are not as flattering as before the court." It seems that Li Luo's general is not worthy of his name.
While several people were sighing, Ni Qing walked into the tent and announced that dinner was ready, and Shen Xiangdong and Chu Ying'er retreated to their respective tents.
Ni Bai brought the dinner, and Li Luo saw that it was all delicious. Li Luo sighed slightly and said, "Don't make so much in the future. Just have one or two things. There is too much food. Take half of it and divide it between the two of you." .”
Ni Bai scratched his head and replied: "General, the supervisor's tent also needs these food, so we can't miss out on the general."
"Okay, from now on just do as I say. Save whatever you can. Just let the supervisor do whatever he wants."
"Yes, I obey my orders." After saying this, Ni Qing left the Chinese army tent.
After dinner, Li Luo walked around the camp. The Youzhou troops were doing better. When they saw Li Luo approaching, they all stood up and saluted. However, when the Muzhou rangers saw Li Luo, they saluted casually. Some simply pretended not to see it, without any hesitation.
Respect.
If someone saluted, Li Luo would bow his head and return the salute. If he pretended not to notice, Li Luo would not be annoyed.
The various departments in the camp have begun to move in an orderly manner. Except for the Youzhou Department, all the other departments are noisy, especially the department of General Dou Qi, which is noisy and chaotic.
In the early morning of the next day, all the troops had reorganized their military formations in accordance with the military council. The march was much faster than when they first left Zhuocheng. The army was well organized and the military orders were relatively smooth, unlike the chaos at the beginning.
After marching like this for more than a month, the Western Expedition army passed Gongzhou and entered Quanzhou.
Li Luo stopped riding in the carriage on the second day of his army and left the carriage with Chu Ying'er. He and the Hu Guards rode horses and walked in the army.
Li Luo's riding skills were so good that the generals were a little surprised. The first few days were fine, but on the third day, Li Luo felt that his whole body was falling apart and the pain was unbearable.
Ni Qing tried to persuade Li Luo to go back to the carriage to rest, but Li Luo just refused, secretly using Bing Xin Jue to survive.
On the fourth day, Li Luo was about to mount his horse, but he saw Chu Ying'er also pulling out a horse and following Li Luo. Li Luo was stunned. Since he arrived in the army, except for the Central Military Council, Chu Ying'er was rarely there.
In front of others, I don’t want to come out for some air today.
Chu Ying'er has a graceful figure and a black veil on her face. As soon as she mounts the horse, she attracts cheers. However, Chu Ying'er has a cold nature. Whenever anyone cheers, they will look at them coldly. She will freeze the cheers of others. If
If someone were to act more arrogantly, murderous intent would follow them everywhere. For a moment, everyone was shocked and no one dared to step forward and act arrogantly.
Li Luo smiled and followed Chu Ying'er's temper. As soon as the army set off, Chu Ying'er rushed up from the side and invited Li Luo to have a horse racing competition. Li Luo's eyes flashed and he readily agreed, bringing several Tiger Guards and
The Chinese army guards assigned to the army came out of the military formation together and galloped towards the front army.
Sure enough, not far from the military formation, Chu Ying'er slowed down his horse and ran in front of Li Luo in a leisurely manner. Li Luo followed Chu Ying'er beside him. After several back and forth, Chu Ying'er stopped his horse.
Looking back, Li Luo had a thoughtful look on his face, and Chu Ying'er immediately resigned and returned to the camp.
Li Luo rode his horse back and forth outside the formation by himself, and did not return to the camp until dinner time. When he saw Chu Ying'er, he thanked him happily, and Chu Ying'er gave a calm hum.
No emotion or anger could be heard, but the coldness of the past was gone.
After a few days, Li Luo was able to compete with Muzhou Youqi on horseback, even marching continuously without touching the ground. Muzhou Youqi and the Youzhou tribesmen all admired Li Luo.
Just like Muzhou Yuqi, the initial contempt has disappeared.
During the rest of the month of marching, Li Luo read a book in his free time, or followed Liu Ce, the Chinese army, to watch the Youzhou troops march and set up camp, and how the army chose its marching route.
Where to camp, whether there is a mountain to back up, the direction of the wind, the distance to the river bank, etc., all should be compared with what the Art of War says: where the army is facing the enemy, the mountain is close to the valley, the place where life is considered is high, the battle is booming and there is no way to climb the mountain.
; If there is no water, you must be far away from the water. If a visitor comes without water, do not welcome him in the water. It is advantageous to attack him halfway across the water. If you want to fight, you should not cling to the water and welcome the visitor. If you look at the place where you live, you will not be able to welcome the current. This is
The army is on the water; it is necessary to leave the swamp without leaving anything behind. If the army is in the swamp, it will carry the trees on its back according to the water and grass. The army of the swamp is here; level 6 is easy, the right back is high, and the front is dead.
Later, the army of Ping Lu will be defeated here.
If there was something he didn't understand, he would sometimes ask Liu Ce something. Usually, he would go back to his tent and ask Shen Xiangdong. Shen Xiangdong had extensive knowledge of ancient times and the present, and had a lot of experience in marching and fighting. Li Luo admired him very much. In terms of extraordinary insights, he is still superior to Liu Ce, and he certainly lives up to his reputation as a hidden dragon.
