Chapter 885: The Unexpected Northern Army Advisor
Zhu Meng couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect Liu Zhang to ask such a straightforward question.
Of the 30,000 warriors brought out from Nanman, less than half of them have died now, can there be no complaints?
But Zhu Meng really didn't!
He has already received news from Nanzhong that the barbarians who died in battle have been given very generous treatment.
This kind of treatment is so high that many living barbarians are jealous, and they can't wait to dedicate themselves to Liu Zhang!
"The barbarians are deeply grateful for Duke Qin's kindness, and are willing to die for Duke Qin!"
Zhu Meng didn't know the polite words of the Han people, and only knew four words in his heart.
Willingly!
It has been almost seven years since the barbarians surrendered, and the clansmen no longer have to hide in the mountains all day long.
With the protection of the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, even if the barbarians don't know how to farm, they can still rely on their own abilities in exchange for all supplies!
Due to the strict order of the State Shepherd's Office, the barbarians lived in the city without any discrimination.
At present, the Han and Barbarian races get along very harmoniously.
It can be said that without Liu Zhang, there would be absolutely no barbarians today.
"Okay, Zhu Meng, I will now grant you the title of General of the Righteous Barbarian."
"I ordered you to return to Nanzhong and expand the barbarian camp to 30,000 troops. After the recruitment is complete, you will lead the 30,000 barbarians to Yufu for training."
"The Barbarian Battalion belongs to the battle order of the Eastern Army, and is under the command of the former general and military adviser Zhong Lang."
Zhu Meng directly accepted the military order without any objection.
After hearing that the barbarians had also joined the Eastern Army, everyone couldn't calm down even more.
After adding the barbarians, the strength of the entire Eastern Army has reached 130,000!
Seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Liu Zhang felt a little proud.
Just wait, this is just the beginning!
"Left general Tai Shici."
"Pingbei General Ma Chao."
"Pingnan General Pang Tong."
"General Ling Bao."
"Jianzhong Captain Lei Tong."
The five people whose names were called by Liu Zhang quickly lined up and all walked to the center of the hall.
"The minister is here!"
"The end is here!"
This time Liu Zhang did not lay the groundwork, and directly announced the appointment.
"The Northern Army has expanded to 50,000 troops, with Tai Shici, the left general, as the commander. Wufeng Camp and Liangzhou Jingqi are all merged into the Northern Army."
"Take orders!"
Looking at the faces of Tai Shici and Ma Chao, Liu Zhang was full of hope for the future of the Northern Army.
"The northern army is all cavalry. General Zuo wants to turn the northern army into sharp spears to pierce all stubborn enemies!"
Tai Shici prostrated himself on the ground and vowed to take it.
"I will live up to Duke Qin's high expectations!"
Liu Zhang did not make specific plans for the Northern Army, and left more details to Tai Shici himself.
With years of experience in managing Wufeng Camp, Liu Zhang has full confidence in Taishi Ci.
Perhaps only Tai Shici's body worried Liu Zhang the most.
If Tai Shici's lifespan is calculated by history. Then there are only four years left.
In perhaps four years, the Qin army has not yet met the conditions for the expedition.
Liu Zhang asked Tai Shici many times if he felt unwell, and asked famous doctors to check Tai Shici's body more times.
The results were very good, and no hidden disease of Tai Shici was found out.
Liu Zhang can only attribute everything to the fact that Tai Shici in history did not adapt to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, or was injured after a long battle.
Liu Zhang couldn't decide on matters such as life expectancy, and could only hope that Tai Shici would walk on such a smooth road for a while longer.
Seeing Liu Zhang's absent-minded eyes, all the civil and military personnel thought that he was considering the candidate for the Northern Army's military adviser, so they couldn't help whispering.
It was this noise that brought Liu Zhang's mind back.
"Military division general Fa is listening to orders."
It turned out to be Fazheng!
Not only everyone was shocked, but even Fazheng himself was dumbfounded.
I thought that there was a precedent for Pang Tong as the military division of the Eastern Army, and one of the five military divisions would also serve as the military division of the Northern Army.
"Wei Chen is here!"
Fazheng quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart, folded his hands and waited for Liu Zhang's orders.
"Xiaozhi, I have ordered you to serve as the military adviser of the Northern Army, are you qualified?"
Sure enough, it was a military division of the Northern Army!
Even though he had some guesses in his heart, he couldn't help being shocked when he actually heard about the appointment.
Fazheng's surrender is a bit hard to say, it is the identity of the defeated.
At the beginning, he designed to trap Liu Zhang, but not only was he seen through the trick, he was even captured alive by Liu Zhang.
Since returning to obedience, Fazheng has not performed too amazingly.
Of course, this is compared to the five military divisions.
Especially compared with Pang Tong, who is still three years younger than him, the gap is even bigger.
However, Liu Zhang has always placed high hopes on Fazheng, especially this time he was appointed as Xun You's general.
Just when everyone thought that the military division general was the end of Liu Zhang's preference for Fazheng, Liu Zhang showed with his actions that the Northern Army's military division is the end!
What kind of honor is it to be a military division of 50,000 troops?
At this moment, Fazheng clenched his fists tightly, still in horror.
He didn't question his ability, but with Jia Xu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Lu Su, and Pang Tong, it was too difficult to stand out.
Each of these five people is not an idle generation, but an existence that overwhelms the talents of troubled times.
When Pang Tong presented the Meridian Valley plot, Fazheng actually thought about it, but he didn't dare to bring it up.
Joining as a defeated man, how could he put the army in danger?
It is precisely because of not daring, being afraid, and trying to be safe again and again that Fazheng gradually loses himself.
Fazheng was very afraid, he was afraid of failure, and he was afraid that his mistakes would put the army in danger.
I am even more afraid that Liu Zhang's trust will be betrayed because of a mistake.
Can you do it?
Of course Fazheng would say yes, he could even say able without hesitation.
But after agreeing, he will inevitably bear countless rumors.
Putting aside how the world will talk about him, can Tai Shici, Ma Chao, Pang Tong and others convince him?
Liu Zhang would only give him the position of General Adviser, he would definitely not mediate conflicts for him, and he had to rely on himself for everything.
"Xiaozhi, don't you dare?"
Hearing Liu Zhang's questioning, Fazheng couldn't help but tremble all over.
If even he himself questioned himself, how could he be worthy of Liu Zhang's trust.
"Why don't you dare? The humble minister takes orders!"
Fazheng's eyes were firm. From this moment on, he knew he had to find himself.
Liu Zhang nodded in satisfaction. He never thought that ability was related to age.
Pang Tong is the best proof. He is only 22 years old and still full of tricks.
In Liu Zhang's heart, Fazheng's wisdom and strategy are definitely not weaker than Pang Tong's!
Today's Fazheng has not experienced years of precipitation, nor is it depressed because it has not been reused.
Instead, he has been obsessed with the identity of the defeated and has become cautious.
Liu Zhang can't help Fa rectify anything, this is the shackles deep in his heart.
If Fazheng can come out on his own, he will still be a conspiratorial talent that makes the world tremble.
The current military division of the Northern Army is an opportunity.
Because Liu Zhang got a message not long ago.
A piece of news that allows Fazheng to break through the shackles.
