Chapter 1041: Adjustment of Force Deployment
It took the two of them less than half an hour to arrange all the personnel. After reading, the two of them looked at each other and saw a hint of admiration in each other's eyes. They both secretly praised their own. The Lord's behavior is indeed becoming more and more mature. It can be seen from this personnel arrangement that in addition to the original Conglong Faction, Kinship Faction, Yellow Turban Faction, etc., the current Eastern Expedition Army has also added the original Yuan Shujun Faction and the newly invested Taishan Faction. Tie.
It can be said that the personnel relationships here are complicated, and the various aspects of the issues that need to be considered can be said to be dazzling. However, the preliminary plan that my protagonist spent a whole night to make can be said to have basically taken various factions into consideration. checks and balances between them.
Mutual checks and balances are the way of the master. How to make better use of the problems between the factions and deal with the relationship between them is a very important ability.
Both of them basically agreed with Huangfu Chaobo's arrangements, but only put forward some suggestions on a few small details.
After the three of them spent another hour to confirm the personnel arrangements, Huangfu Chaobo breathed a long sigh of relief. After the personnel arrangements were in place, the rest of the work would be easy.
"Do Fengxiao and Zijing have any suggestions regarding the deployment of troops in various counties and cities?" Huangfu Chaobo then asked;
Regarding the deployment of troops, it is also a very troublesome issue. The geographical environment where the Eastern Expeditionary Army is located can be said to be surrounded by wolves on all sides. If you are not careful, you will be attacked on all sides. Therefore, if you do not maintain a strong military strength, it is very likely that someone will It will be completely defeated in one day, but if you have too many troops, you won't be able to sustain it for long. If you don't need others to fight, your own troops will drag you down.
In the past, the Eastern Conquest Army was basically arranged according to the configuration of one county and one soldier. It didn't matter whether there were ten counties or twenty counties in one county. That was the decision anyway.
However, among the newly occupied counties, Liang and Chen only have nine cities, and Pei has only five cities. In fact, Hongnong has less than ten cities, plus Shanyang County and Jiyin County. There are only ten counties. If these counties are arranged according to the scale of 25,000 soldiers from the five schools, the number of soldiers will be too many. That's why Huangfu Chaobo asked such a question.
As soon as Huangfu Chaobo finished speaking, Guo Jia stood up and slowly walked towards the map, pointed to the locations of Liang Guo, Pei Guo and Shanyang, and said slowly: "Actually, if the lord doesn't mention this matter, Jia will also raise it with the lord. "
In Guo Jia's view, Pei State has only five cities, and currently Gongqiu County has not sent troops to attack because it is close to Lu State and far away from other counties in Pei State. There is also Shanyang County. The three counties of Gaoping, Nanpingyang and Xiaqiu are still to the east of Rencheng State. If you want to capture the three counties, you must capture Rencheng State. For these counties, judging from the current situation, we basically have no choice but to give up.
Calculated in this way, Shanyang County has only six cities, Pei State has only five cities, and Liang State is a little better, with nine cities. If a small county like this is also based on the original one and five schools, If there are 25,000 soldiers, the pressure will be great. So what Guo Jia meant was that either these small counties should set up a military camp with two to three counties, or they should only form a small battalion with two to three schools of military soldiers.
After listening to Guo Jia's suggestion, Huangfu Chaobo shook his head. Setting up one battalion of soldiers in two to three counties is not as good as setting up a small battalion of two to three schools of soldiers in one county. Anyway, he has worked hard to arrange it. If the generals of these war barracks expand their sphere of influence in the later stage, they will have to organize new war barracks. It is better to build the skeleton of the war barracks first and then expand the camp later.
After careful consideration, Huangfu Chaobo decided that small counties like Peiguo with five or six cities would have two schools of combat troops, larger ones with less than ten cities would have three schools of combat troops, and those with more than twelve cities would have three schools of combat troops. The standard is three schools of infantry plus one school of cavalry, and large counties with fifteen cities or more will add one school of infantry.
A configuration for four steps and one rider. A large county like Runan has thirty or forty cities, and it still has six schools of infantry and two schools of cavalry. In fact, Huangfu Chaobo's idea was to divide Runan into two or even three. It turned into an ordinary-sized county with more than a dozen cities, but now the staff is really insufficient, so we have to give up.
Of course, this is only a relative standard. The specific situation needs to be calculated based on the population of the county. For example, Wei County has only twelve cities, but it has a population of more than one million. In addition, it is close to Yuan Shaojun. territory, so at least it should be implemented according to the standard of four steps and one ride, or even five steps and one ride.
After the configuration standards of the combat barracks are determined, the next step is the configuration standards of the garrison. This is relatively simple. As for the arrangement of infantry, only small counties with five cities are equipped with 10,000 garrison troops, medium counties with five to ten cities are equipped with 10,000 garrison troops, and large counties with more than ten cities are equipped with 15,000 garrison troops. Soldiers, super large counties with more than 20 cities are equipped with 20,000 garrison troops.
As for cavalry, there are one thousand for small counties, three thousand for middle counties, and five thousand for large counties and above. As for the cavalry in the county seat, just arrange fifty to one hundred cavalry to transmit information.
The personnel arrangement has been basically finalized, and the plan for the deployment of troops has also been roughly determined. After completing these two major tasks, Huangfu Chaobo breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to let both of them go, Guo Jia raised another question: "My lord, now there are two new counties in Yanzhou, plus several counties in Yuzhou and Lujiang, as well as four counties in Sizhou and Wei County in Jizhou. There are a total of fifteen counties under the jurisdiction of my Eastern Expedition Army. Except for Yuzhou, which has a governor, the other ten counties are currently managed by the Eastern Expedition General's Office. It seems that it is a bit too difficult."
As he said, Guo Jia looked at Huangfu Chaobo and stopped talking. Huangfu Chaobo also realized that Yuzhou could still be handed over to the Yuzhou Governor's Office for management, but what about the counties in Yanzhou? If it is really handed over to Tian Feng alone, it will indeed be too much to manage. But now that the governor of Yanzhou is Cao Cao, can he still appoint a governor of a state? Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but look at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia said, "I have been thinking about this issue these days. Now, apart from Longhua, all the counties of our Eastern Expedition Army have been connected together, totaling fifteen counties. My lord, why don't you submit a petition to the court to divide these fifteen counties into three states and recommend three governors for each state? In this way, the three governors will each manage the civil affairs of the three states, and then they will be responsible to the Eastern Expedition General's Office, while the military affairs can be directly managed by the Eastern Expedition General's Office."
