The arrangement for surrendering Wang Lu was too low, and Liu Bei felt deeply indebted.

Li Mengxi comforted Liu Bei, saying that the future was long and it would not be too late to make amends in the future.

Only this person was arranged, and the three of them had been talking in secret for a long time. It should be a good thing that a simple matter was considered so complicated. Because of this, although Liu Beiyi's army was not a regular army, it gradually became regular and mature.

Next, in addition to the surrendered general Wang Lu, there are other yellow turban generals, big and small, how to arrange them.

"All of them will be dismissed from their military positions and treated equally with ordinary soldiers. Our troops will be rewarded for their merits. If they are really capable, they will surely rise to the top. If they are not capable, it will be a good time to screen out the incompetent generals." Li Mengxi still insisted that all the more than 2,000 yellow turbans should be treated equally.

, all treated as ordinary soldiers.

This time, Liu Bei did not object again.

However, Liu Bei added some suggestions, "Yellow turban generals, big and small, are treated the same as soldiers, but the armor they wear and the weapons they carry will not be confiscated."

Liu Bei paused and then added, "The current military order orders the commanders of our old army to not seize anyone's armor or weapons. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished."

When Liu Bei suggested this, Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to understand the deeper meaning.

First of all, in the Yellow Turban Army, good armor and weapons must be equipped first for the generals. The armor of those generals must be better than that of ordinary soldiers, and much better.

It has been decided that, except for the demoted general Wang Lu who will be appointed as a cavalry centurion, all generals below Wang Lu will be expanded to ordinary soldiers.

These former Yellow Turban generals with excellent armor became just ordinary soldiers after entering the rebel army system.

Armor and weapons are also for the dignity of the general.

It would be fine if the Yellow Turbans were not demoted to general positions. Let them keep their fine armor and weapons, which would be regarded as preserving their last dignity.

Nowadays, the rebel army has insufficient armor. The armor of a centurion is probably not as good as the armor of a yellow turban general. Since then, the yellow turban generals have been expanded into the rebel army as ordinary soldiers. They wear helmets and carry armor, so they are inconspicuous.

If some of the Yellow Turban generals were good people, they would take the initiative to offer their armor to a centurion, but they would secretly hate it in their hearts; but if one of the centurions in the rebel army was a villain, coveting other people's armor, and would rob and plunder it, causing conflicts,

It is not good for military morale.

Therefore, Liu Bei said that he would issue a special military order: Anyone who dares to steal the armor and weapons of his subordinates will be punished according to military law.

Liu Bei's thoughts were far-reaching, beyond Li Mengxi's reach. Even though Li Mengxi was astute, he couldn't think of it so far.

Li Mengxi learned a lot and admired Liu Bei even more.

Li Mengxi could think of treating all the Yellow Turbans equally as regular soldiers, so as to maximize the potential of the Yellow Turbans to surrender.

As for Liu Bei, based on Li Mengxi's proposal, he could think of not confiscating the armors and weapons of the Yellow Turban generals, but giving the Yellow Turban generals the most basic respect, and he could further think of preventing the occurrence of plunder and robbery.

Compared to Li Mengxi, perhaps because he was older, Liu Bei's thinking was much more mature than Li Mengxi's.

At this point, one of the two major problems in arranging the surrender of the Yellow Turban army, the issue of arranging the Yellow Turban generals, has been solved.

Then, there are the arrangements for the ordinary soldiers of the Yellow Turban.

The arrangements for ordinary soldiers are much simpler.

Since everyone under the Yellow Turban surrender general Wang Lu is regarded as an ordinary soldier, it is nothing more than a comprehensive census to select all kinds of talents, including those who are good at riding, those who are good at medicine, and those who are good at carpentry.

Those who are good at shooting bows and arrows are also picked out, and so on.

Li Mengxi believed that the minimum standard for army expansion was to ensure at least one pair of armor for each person, to cook as much food as there was a pot, and to maintain as many soldiers as there were armor.

Therefore, although the more than two thousand Yellow Turbans are among the more elite Yellow Turbans and are all young and strong, it is impossible for them all to be classified as combat soldiers.

To select available talents from the surrendered troops, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Li Mengxi discussed and set the priorities as follows.

First of all, because of the urgent shortage of doctors, if a person is good at medicine and riding, then priority should be given to adding them to the doctor camp.

Then, if there are high-level talents in armor craftsmanship and crossbow making, priority will still be given to adding them to the logistics.

Then, the soldiers began.

The highest priority in selecting cavalry soldiers for combat. If a person can both ride and shoot accurately, then this person should go to the cavalry camp.

Then, those who have been hunters and can shoot accurately, and those who are tall and strong will supplement the bow and crossbow camp.

Furthermore, since hand-to-hand fighting between sword and shield soldiers requires strength and physique, physically strong soldiers should be added to the sword and shield soldiers.

The last, last and most inferior soldier became a spearman.

It is different from online games. In general online games, warriors are generally modeled with strong bodies. In order to highlight the professional differences, crossbowmen are often modeled with slender and thin bodies.

This is not the case in reality. It takes strength to fire a bow, and it also takes strength to fire a powerful crossbow. In ancient times, all sharpshooters used strong bows, and firing a powerful bow requires strength and physical fitness. Therefore, all sharpshooters must be taller and different from ordinary people.

Crossbowmen are not the weakest masters, but the most elite part.

Perhaps some armies value elite sword and shield warriors more. The priority of replenishing warriors is higher than that of crossbowmen. However, among the rebels, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Li Mengxi all believe that crossbows should be an elite force second only to cavalry.

.

Finally, Li Mengxi had another question. This time the Yellow Turban surrendered, the Yellow Turban general still had room to make arrangements for the newly formed cavalry team. What about next time? What about in the future? Recruit surrender or accept rebellion, or someone will lead it

If the army came to surrender, where would there be a high position for him?

Is it necessary to establish a new battalion every time a surrender is accepted? This time it is a cavalry battalion. What kind of battalion should be built next time? In the late Han Dynasty, the only arms were infantry, and there were only a few types of bow and crossbow cavalry, which was obviously impossible.

Li Mengxi believed that the rebel army's military system and other aspects would one day become the leader of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, anyone who surrendered his army or led his troops to surrender would have no use for their old system and would have to follow Liu Bei's military system.

Therefore, if foreign troops that are not part of Liu Bei's army are allowed to join Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei's army must be the main force. How to arrange the generals of the other army will encounter the same problem as this time.

The three of them thought about it and argued for a long time, but they could only think of one solution that was not a solution, that is, just like this time, if another Yellow Turban surrenders, they should follow the same method as this time and throw their generals and generals into the cavalry.

team is the most suitable.

Why is it appropriate to put the generals and generals who have been demoted into the cavalry team instead of the infantry and crossbow teams?

Because cavalry has horses, horses are equal to vehicles, equal to ancient Mercedes-Benz.

Letting a surrendered general serve as cavalry is equivalent to giving him a Mercedes-Benz, which is not too humiliating. Only cavalry can do it, not archers or infantry.

It would be deeply humiliating to ask the general of an army to serve as an infantryman.

We have discussed this and let's do this. From now on, all the generals in the captives, such as the Yellow Turban Captains and other miscellaneous generals, will be thrown into the cavalry. This is the most reasonable arrangement.

Throwing all kinds of generals such as captains to the cavalry will cause a problem, that is, the rebel cavalry will become very scary...

When I asked five people at random, three of them were former Yellow Turban captains. Of the remaining two, one had attracted thousands of people and was a handsome Yellow Turban leader. The other was even more powerful and had attracted tens of thousands of people...
