Chapter 418 Absorption
Liu Bei led the army away, and Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth with hatred as he watched Liu Bei's army leaving.
Liu Bei offended Dong Zhuo terribly this time. In terms of logic, no matter what, Dong Zhuo treated him politely, but Liu Bei plotted against Dong Zhuo, an ordinary three-year-old child.
"I swear to kill this man!" Dong Zhuo roared angrily, and the generals kept silent, not daring to offend him.
In order to show off his bluff, Liu Guan and Zhang took away all the soldiers who could stand in line in order to prevent an accident. The rear army regrouped and deliberately withdrew seven or eight miles further.
As the only chief officer of the left-behind department, Li Mengxi did not dare to relax at all. He asked the convoy to form a large circle, set up a vehicle formation, and asked the rangers to frequently patrol around to prevent any trouble.
Li Mengxi himself was sitting high on a grain truck, wearing a helmet and a smaller infantry armor. He had a flag by his legs, staring into the distance, waiting to wave it immediately if the enemy appeared.
Raise the flag and issue battle orders.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, smoke was billowing at the end of the avenue, and a figure was coming this way.
Li Mengxi immediately became alert and immediately sent a ranger to investigate.
The knight took the order and left.
After a while, they met twice and had some contact. Li Mengxi saw the knight waving a flag to indicate that Liu Bei was leading the army back.
Li Mengxi finally let go of his hanging heart.
He turned around and shouted to the old, weak, women and children in the car formation who were nervously holding knives and guns, "My army has returned, let's get out of the car formation."
He raised his head and noticed that it was getting late, "Get ready to set up camp." Li Mengxi added.
After being far away, Liu, Guan, and Zhang saw a large circle of vehicles arranged by Li Mengxi.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, saying that Li Mengxi was really strict. As soon as he walked away for a while, he was on full alert.
The large group of troops led by Liu Guan and Zhang joined the rear army, and Li Mengxi jumped out of the car with a bang.
The first time he saw Liu Bei, Li Mengxi couldn't wait to ask, "What does Dong Zhuo look like?"
Liu, Guan, and Zhang all laughed.
What good impression could Liu, Guan, and Zhang have on Dong Zhuo?
"Dong Zhuo appears to be kind and hypocritical, but he is extravagant and devoid of any appearance. Judging from his lax management of the army, he is actually not a man who can lead the army with righteousness." Liu Bei said.
This evaluation is low enough.
Li Mengxi snorted.
It should be said that Li Mengxi was very curious about Dong Zhuo. He had a monkey-watching mentality and wanted to take a good look at what Dong Zhuo looked like.
But considering that they would have a conflict with Dong Zhuo, Liu, Guan, and Zhang did not take Li Mengxi with them and left Li Mengxi in the rear army.
Li Mengxi looked behind Liu Guanzhang and asked Lu Zhi if he could bring him back.
Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and took Li Mengxi to see everyone.
Liu Bei made two introductions, introducing Li Mengxi to Lu Zhi's old troops, and also introducing Lu Zhi's old troops to Li Mengxi one by one.
When listening to Liu Bei's introduction, there was General Pi here, another General Pi there, a captain of thousands here, and another captain of thousands there.
Looking at this large group of people, they have thick armor, sharp weapons, and carry bows and arrows. In comparison, they are much higher than the average of the rebels. They all have elite postures.
Li Mengxi looked at this and that, and the smile on his face never stopped.
What an unexpected surprise, I made a lot of money, and Lu Zhi's team got a big chunk of it.
With the size of the rebel army, it is not stressful to arrange a few hundred people.
It's time to recruit new forces and arrange personnel.
Since the rebel army came out of Zhuozhou, they have recruited large-scale surrenders and recruited rebels twice. How to attract manpower has become a familiar task.
According to old rules, the nearly 400 people in Lu Zhi's old department should be given priority in selecting special talents according to their weight, such as medical officers, veterinarians, armorers, blacksmiths, etc.
This group, thirty or forty people, was placed in the carpenter camp and the medical camp respectively.
Then, the most talented people in the army are naturally military talents.
Among all arms, cavalry soldiers are the most rare. Therefore, if a person has excellent riding skills and can be a cavalry, and has excellent shooting skills, he can join the archery camp, and he is also tall and strong, good at wrestling, and can be a sword and shield warrior. Then, this person
Should, the priority is to be cavalry.
Even if there are not enough horses, cavalry soldiers should be well preserved. Even if they are hidden and used as second-line patrols, cavalry soldiers should not be put on the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder.
After the city was captured in Wen'an County and Qingyun Mountain was attacked, all the cavalry soldiers were searched and placed in the Zizhong Brigade. Now, there are hundreds of horseless cavalry.
Once there are horses, a large cavalry force can be formed immediately.
Among Lu Zhi's old troops, there were thirty-nine who came with war horses. This alone added thirty-nine combat cavalry to the army.
The generals who had war horses, as usual, did not let General Lu Zhi lead the troops, but instead stuffed them into Guan Yu's cavalry.
Due to the personnel method agreed upon earlier, the cavalry in the army is showing signs of becoming more elite.
Look at Guan Yu's cavalry now. They are all incredible soldiers. If you ask any cavalryman, he will be the Yellow Turban Commander. The next one will be the Yellow Turban Commander. Now Lu Zhi's generals are all in the cavalry. Guan Yu's men
The combat cavalry has just approached a hundred cavalry, but the quality is frighteningly high. Almost all of them are generals.
The cavalry soldiers are placed first, and then the weight of this level is the crossbowmen. The crossbowmen have relatively high requirements for the quality of the soldiers. They need to use strong bows and crossbows, and they must be strong people.
A large number of centurions were poached from the official army. Li Mengxi was also hesitant about how to arrange these low-level officers.
On the one hand, these centurions of the army are still of a certain standard. Regardless of their personal bravery or commanding ability, they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.
But on the other hand, Li Mengxi felt that the system of the rebel army would be incompatible with all the military systems of the Han Dynasty.
To put it in the most basic terms, the rebels plan to use formation training to create a template for the entire army. The entire army will have the same military rules and regulations, the same formation commands, and combat commands.
In this way, no matter who is commanding the army, one command system can control all the armies.
As for the centurions in the army, maybe one centurion likes to draw his sword and take the lead in charging, while another centurion likes to shout, "Charge with me!", and another centurion shouts, "Charge them all!"
"
The passwords are different.
The complete status of the rebel army should be that, regardless of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, or any centurion, as long as the charge command is given, it is the same, only "Everyone, charge!"
If all the passwords were in one system, there would be no such thing. After changing the general, this army became acclimatized.
Li Mengxi had this consideration, so he did not plan to use centurions from the official army. Even if he used them, he should retrain the centurions from the official army and incorporate them into the rebel army's system.
The formation cannot be promoted to the whole army in a short while, and the centurions of the official army are rare talents, and the army is in urgent need of people, so all the centurions are stuffed into the fighting soldiers.
