Chapter 886 Cavalry and Archery Legion, Chinese Army
There is no suspense about the next Chinese army and the imperial guards, and there are only two generals left in the Quartet.
Especially these two Quartet generals are deeply trusted by Liu Zhang.
"Rear General Zhao Yun obeys the order!"
After calling out this name, Liu Zhang felt a sense of closeness for no reason.
I vaguely remember the joy in my heart when I was awarded the general title and opened the mansion.
For a long time, the world has called him that!
"The minister is here!"
Zhao Yun's figure is tall and straight, and his vigor is overwhelming.
Who would have thought that Zhao Yun was still a farmer in the village eighteen years ago?
Zhao Yun's martial arts are amazing, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as invincible in the world.
After a long time on the battlefield, Zhao Yun has perfected his commanding ability.
No matter where you look at it, Zhao Yun can become a general in his own right!
"Zilong, do you still remember the martial arts battalion established at the beginning?"
A strange look flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and then he nodded slowly.
Wuqiying, this is a name that is unfamiliar to most people in the hall.
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, were a little puzzled.
When the martial arts battalion was first established, Liu Zhang had only Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun under his command.
Therefore, Wushe battalion, Wufeng battalion, Wuwei battalion and Wuqi battalion were set up respectively.
For more than ten years, the Wushe Battalion, Wufeng Battalion, and Wuwei Battalion have repeatedly made military exploits.
Wu Fengying even gained a great reputation, which made everyone in the world tremble.
Only the Wuqi Battalion, which seemed to be forgotten, had always been an establishment with less than a thousand people, and was left in Hanzhong.
Even Zhao Yun, the original leader of the Wuqi camp, gave up the Wuqi camp and became the leader 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 Shici, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun.
The purpose of the establishment of the Wuqi Battalion is to create a cavalry and archery unit like the Huns' light cavalry.
Due to problems such as soldiers and horses, the Wuqi Battalion was shelved.
"Zilong, Gu vaguely remembers all the difficulties in the martial arts battalion back then, how do you feel now?"
At the beginning, the hard problem was war horses, and the soft problem was personnel.
Before going north to Hanzhong, even the horses of the Wufeng Camp could not be guaranteed, so how did Liu Zhang form the Wuqi Camp?
But today is different from the past, the war horse will no longer be able to restrain Liu Zhang.
As for the personnel problem, it has long been solved by the appearance of bilateral stirrups, saddles and horse iron hooves.
Zhao Yun shook his head lightly, showing a look of anticipation.
The martial arts battalion has also come to the best time to form!
"Duke Qin, I assure you 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 order you to be the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army. Based on the Wuqi Battalion, we will reorganize the 50,000 Chinese Army. The standards are all in accordance with the Wuqi Battalion!"
"The minister takes orders!"
Zhao Yun was very excited. Of all the current military regions, only the Chinese Army has been re-established in the true sense!
"Zilong, Xia Houlan, Deng Xian, Lei Tie and Ma Yue have been transferred to the Chinese army alone, waiting for your orders."
"As for the Huwei Battalion under your command, Gu will take it away."
Huwei Battalion was full of infantry firstly, and secondly, more than half of them were lost.
It is indeed not suitable to stay in the Chinese army, and Zhao Yun has no objection to this.
"It's all according to Duke Qin's orders."
"Zilong, Lu Su will concurrently hold the post of Army Adviser in the Central Army. You can go to Liangzhou and ask Lu Su to help recruit cavalry."
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, Liu Zhang's arrangement was completely on his mind.
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, Mr. Qin!"
Lu Su's governor of Liangzhou is only temporary, and he can step down as a full-time military strategist when the Qiang issue is almost resolved.
For the combination of Zhao Yun and Lu Su, Liu Zhang was extremely looking forward to it.
After the Chinese army should be appointed, only the imperial guards are left.
The imperial guards belong directly to the king, and under normal circumstances, they are responsible for guarding the capital and the palace.
However, with the establishment of the Eastern Army, the Northern Army, and the Central Army and the release of missions, everyone knew that the responsibilities of the Imperial Guard were definitely not limited to the capital.
All the current armies, the Northern Army and the Central Army are all cavalry, which can only be used for battle on the battlefield.
The infantry used to siege the city exists only under the command of the Eastern Army.
However, the Eastern Army will definitely focus on the Jingxiang area in the future, and it must be unable to handle the Central Plains battlefield.
Therefore, the battle with Cao Cao in the future may all fall on the head of the imperial guards.
"General Dian Wei on the right, general Xu Huang on the west, Gao Shun on the south, and Wu Yi on the central guard."
Liu Zhang directly called out the names of the four people, further confirming everyone's guess.
These four people, none of them are idle people.
Even Wu Yi, who is the weakest on paper, has the status of a relative of Liu Zhang.
"The minister is here!"
The four of Dian Wei stood out and responded loudly.
"Gu Ming Dian Wei is the commander of the imperial guards, and Xu Huang is the deputy commander."
"Wubu Battalion, Wuwei Battalion, Siege Camp, and Huwei Battalion are all merged into the Imperial Guard Army, expanding the army to... 70,000!"
"Dian Wei, Xu Huang is in charge of training the imperial guards for future attacks."
"Gao Shun is in charge of trapping the camp, and Wu Yi is in charge of leading the army, guarding Chang'an and the palace."
For the internal deployment of the imperial guards, Liu Zhang gave more requirements.
The first is to fall into the camp, no matter what, you can't just stay silent.
If Gao Shun thinks it is okay, he can continue to expand the army.
As for the merger of Wubu Camp, Wuwei Camp, and Huwei Camp, Liu Zhang had already thought about it.
The 10,000-strong army performed well in the early stages of the struggle for hegemony.
Whether it is mobility, command, or flexibility, it is very eye-catching.
However, as the scale of the war continues to expand, more than 100,000 soldiers will often participate in the battle, and this kind of battalion-by-battalion soldiers and horses is too difficult to cooperate.
In particular, the general's own ability will be greatly restricted by the small number of soldiers.
By concentrating the main battle troops and unifying the training and command, the generals can give full play to their commanding talents during 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 another war breaks out in the future, it may be a duel with hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn.
The experience babies of the Qiang people, Xianbei people, and Huns may be gone forever.
The enemy I will face in the future will be the most difficult enemy in the world!
In the future, it will completely become a game between masters.
At that time, the Eastern Army, the Northern Army, the Central Army, and the Imperial Guard Army would definitely not be able to fight on their own. All the Qin Army needed to cooperate with each other.
"The post of Imperial Guard Army Adviser will be concurrently held by Liu Ye, governor of Yongzhou, for the time being."
"The minister waits for orders!"
Regarding Liu Zhang's arrangement, Dian Wei and the others had no objections.
However, the selection of the military division of the Imperial Guard was beyond everyone's expectations.
No one thought that Jia Xu, the most powerful minister, and his servant Xun You did not serve as a military adviser in any military region.
