Chapter 842: Issues with the Organization of Yuzhou Combat Battalion (Part 1)

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned at first, but after he realized what he was doing, he said happily: "If these two brothers are willing to come to Luoyang, Chaobo will welcome them."

Although Lu Zhi came to Luoyang to serve as the director of Luoyang Academy, he never became an official in Huangfu Chaobo. Firstly, it was because of his old age, and secondly, because he did not think highly of Huangfu Chaobo, so he did not allow his two adult sons to serve in official positions until the situation in the world became clear.

Moreover, when he came to Luoyang, he did not let his eldest son and second son come with him. He asked them to lead the clan and stay in their hometown in Youzhou. He only took his youngest son Lu Yu with him. Historically, Lu Zhi had three sons. The eldest son and the second son both died in the war, and only the youngest son Lu Yu survived.

And this Lu Yu was a famous politician in the late Three Kingdoms. When Lu Zhi led Lu Yu to Luoyang, Huangfu Chaobo went out of his way to check on Lu Yu's situation: Lu Yu (183-257), courtesy name Zijia , a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County (Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province). He was a statesman of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms era and the youngest son of Lu Zhi, a great scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He served five monarchs from Cao Cao to Cao Mao, and was responsible for the evaluation and recommendation of talents. He once suggested to Cao Rui to formulate examination methods. In the first year of Ganlu's reign, he was appointed Sikong and promoted to Marquis of Rongcheng. He died the following year and was given the posthumous title Cheng.

Cao Rui, Emperor Ming of the Wei Dynasty, once commented on Lu Yu, saying: "Yu Zhongzhong has a pure nature, a calm mind and an upright body. He can be said to be a man who has made great achievements in his trials and is unremitting in his position."

It can be seen that Lu Yucai has very good talents and conduct.

As for the other two sons, no information could be found because they died young. Just comparing Lu Zhi's own abilities with Lu Yu's situation, his eldest son and second son should both be very good in terms of talent and conduct. Now, Lu Zhi actually said that he would like his two sons to come to Luoyang to serve as officials. How could Huangfu Chaobo be unhappy?

Lu Zhi and other senior generals were all veterans of the Han Dynasty. They felt very sad about the wars and the lack of public welfare in the world. It was just that they were all helpless. Now that they heard that Huangfu Chaobo had such an ambition, they were all excited. Incessantly.

Xu Shu and other young people were even more enthusiastic. Xu Shu stood up from his chair, walked quickly to the hall, knelt down to Huangfu Chaobo, and said loudly: "I am willing to follow the Lord to rule the world fairly, and let the world be peaceful and peaceful." , Shi He Sui Feng!”

The rest of the people also walked to the middle and swore loudly to Huangfu Chaobo: "I am willing to follow the Lord to rule the world fairly, so that the world's rivers will be clear and the sea will be peaceful, and the times will be prosperous!"

Huangfu Chaobo didn't expect that his unintentional pretending to be 13 would lead to such a good effect. Seeing the situation in front of him, Huangfu Chaobo quickly helped everyone in the field up one by one, and then said: "Okay, since everyone has With such ambitions, let us walk together. However, there will be monsters and demons one after another along the way. You still need to forge ahead and not retreat easily! "

After hearing this, everyone responded in unison: "My subordinates will definitely follow the lord and go through fire and water, even to the death!"

Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but be overjoyed. It's no wonder that throughout the ages, people have such a strong desire for power. It turns out that this feeling of being condescending and responding to everything is really good.

However, Huangfu Chaobo soon came to his senses and said: "Okay, everyone, please take a seat. Qu Zi once said that the road is long and long, and I will search up and down. Today's Anton Army is among the princes in the world. It is only the most powerful. Of course, if Yuzhou is included, it should be considered the most powerful prince in the world, but the gap with other princes is not big. "

"Furthermore, Dong Zhuo was so powerful back then that he was ultimately no match for the loosely-aligned Guandong princes. If we are not careful, we will definitely become Dong Zhuo's second best, and we will not be able to pacify the world by then. So we have summoned all the princes this time. , just to discuss this matter.”

"In order not to arouse the vigilance of the surrounding princes, there will be no adjustments to the internal affairs of Yuzhou in recent years. The focus of this discussion is how to adjust the troops and horses of Yuzhou without exposing our Yuzhou Army and our Andong Army. relationship, but at the same time it cannot affect the improvement of the army's combat power.

"

Huangfu Chaobo's words silenced everyone. Indeed, if the Yuzhou Army can be reorganized quietly, then after the destruction of Yuan Shu's army, if he attacks Cao Cao, he will indeed be able to give him a fatal blow. It's just that the operation in this aspect is quite difficult, and it's difficult to grasp this degree.

After a long time, Huang Zhongcai slowly said: "Lord, sirs, generals, I have been thinking about this issue on the way back from Runan. The only way now is to transfer middle and senior generals from the various armies of our Andong Army. You can only join the Yuzhou Army to participate in training, but this can only be done in the name of assisting in training. "

Xu Shu's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, this strategy is feasible, but the generals who are deployed need to be cautious. Moreover, Yuzhou happens to be in the middle of a war. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Yuzhou Governor thinks that the Yuzhou army's combat power is too poor, and asks for peace. In this way, our generals can legitimately join the training of the Yuzhou Army.”

Huangfu Chaobo's heart moved. Isn't this the way the island country invaded the mainland and used the island country's instructors to reorganize the security army?

"Okay, let's do it in this name. Just how many combat barracks should the Yuzhou Army build?" Huangfu Chaobo said;

Pang Tong said: "According to the practice of our Andong Army, one battalion of soldiers is stationed in one county, with a strength of four to five battalions. However, looking at the situation in Yuzhou, Yingchuan and Chen are not bad, one battalion of soldiers is enough, but Runan is vast and populous, and four or five battalions of soldiers are probably not enough. Therefore, in my opinion, the number of Runan battalions must be increased, at least to six to eight battalions."

Zhao Yun said: "As for cavalry, in the past, one battalion of soldiers in our Andong Army basically had one battalion of cavalry. If three to four battalions are added, at least 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry must be added. Even if it is ordinary cavalry, 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry will be too much. The consumption is also extremely shocking. "

When he heard that he would add another 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, Tian Feng became anxious and hurriedly said: "My lord, think twice. 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry is enough to offset the consumption of 100,000 infantry. My An Dong Army cannot increase the cavalry anymore. My lord, think twice!"

The rest of the people frowned when they heard this. They knew their own business. Now the number of cavalry under the An Dong Army is quite large. The nine combat battalions plus the several schools of the Guards are equipped with war horses. There are also cavalry of varying numbers among the guards at the passes of various cities. There are a total of 100,000 cavalry and more than 200,000 war horses.

Such a large number of war horses can only be maintained because they are scattered in various cities. If they are put together, the local food and grass can be consumed in a few days. So when he heard that he would have to increase the cavalry, Tian Feng was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
