Chapter 4 Reorganizing the Army
"Wen You's plan is very clever." Dong Zhuo thought about it for a moment and understood the powerful relationship. Bingzhou Mu had more power than Bingzhou Governor, and he commanded the military and administration of a state. Even Dong Zhuo was quite jealous of Zhang Yang who had achieved great fortune.
, if Lu Bu knew that Bingzhou Mu had become Zhang Yang, how would he give up?
"Humph, Lu Bu is a kid who doesn't know how to praise me, and he is trying to go against me. I have literary talents to help me, so why worry about the world being unstable." Dong Zhuozhi said with satisfaction.
"The achievements of the Grand Master are unparalleled. To depose the emperor and establish a new king will definitely shock the ministers and make all the heroes in the world surrender." Li Ru agreed.
"Haha, okay, let's have a banquet with all the ministers in the future and discuss the dethronement of the emperor." Dong Zhuo laughed and said, choosing another Ming emperor was the highest manifestation of the power of the officials of the Han Dynasty, such as the general Huo Guang, who had overwhelming power for a while.
The next day, Dong Zhuo recommended the governor of Shangdang as the governor of Bingzhou, in charge of the military affairs of Bingzhou. At the same time, he appointed Lu Bu as the governor of Jiuyuan, and immediately led his troops back to Jiuyuan.
Liu Bian looked at the arrogant and domineering Dong Zhuo with trepidation, and looked at the ministers for help. As a young man, he was already afraid of the barbaric Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo's bloody purge in the recent period, no one in the court dared to argue with Dong Zhuo face to face, so they could only obey.
Seeing the reactions of the emperor and his ministers, Dong Zhuo burst into laughter.
After repeated battles, the 40,000 Bingzhou troops brought by Ding Yuan were reduced to more than 18,000 at this time. After careful consideration, Lu Bu decided to launch a plan of elite troops and attack at night that day. If his troops had not been disrupted first,
How could Hua Xiong succeed so easily? All in all, the soldiers were not trained enough. Faced with a sneak attack, the generals could not effectively organize their troops to resist.
The most lacking thing now is time. If he is given a year, he is sure that he can train an elite team.
Wearing silk cloth, Lu Bu knelt down in the upper position of the tent. Although he wanted to lead his troops back to Bingzhou, Ding Yuan's revenge was not avenged. Returning to the army at this time would definitely chill the generals under his command, and Ding Yuan was waiting for him.
He is not weak, he can't even pass this test on his own.
"Unfortunately, Governor Ding died. I was elected as the military leader by everyone. I feel deeply responsible for the great responsibility. The imperial court appointed me as the prefect of Jiuyuan. I will return to Jiuyuan today and appoint Zhang Yang as the shepherd of Bingzhou to lead the military and administration of Bingzhou." After speaking, Lu Bu looked around.
After a quick glance, he saw that everyone was talking about it, so he changed the topic and said: "But I think there are three most important things at the moment."
The generals stopped talking and turned their attention to Lu Bu.
"First, avenge Governor Ding."
"Second, stabilize the union of states."
"Third, train troops and prepare for war."
Seeing that Lu Bu would take revenge for Ding Yuan, many generals were relieved. Ding Yuan was usually kind and generous to others and was loved by the generals. Many people did not take Zhang Yang seriously either, despite the fact that he was now the shepherd of Bingzhou, waiting for the army.
Back in Bingzhou, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
"No." All the generals said in unison.
"After successive battles, the Bingzhou Army suffered heavy casualties. Now I will divide the Bingzhou Army into four groups and three cavalry. Zhang Liao will lead a thousand wolf cavalry. The lost soldiers and horses will be selected first from the army."
"Nuo" Zhang Liao was overjoyed. The Wolf Cavalry was the first cavalry force formed by Lu Bu. It was very powerful in combat and firmly had the upper hand in the battle with the Xiliang Army's cavalry.
"Cao Xing formed the Tiger Guard and led it. He had a thousand cavalry under his command and was responsible for protecting the security of the central army. The troops and horses under his command were first selected from among the soldiers. He sent more people to inquire about the news around Luoyang and the army to see if there was any trouble.
, it must be reported in time.”
"No." Cao Xing came out and said.
"Cheng Lian established a heroic cavalry battalion and led it as its commander. There were a thousand cavalry under his command, and he was selected first among the soldiers."
"No." Cheng Lian grinned and answered with his fists clasped.
"Gao Shun continues to lead the trapped camp, and his 800 troops remain unchanged. The required ordnance and soldiers will be selected first."
"promise."
"Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng each led 2,000 infantrymen and selected the best soldiers for training."
"No." The four of them said in unison.
"Okay, I hope you can lead your soldiers and train to achieve results. After half a month, I will conduct an assessment on each department and replace the unqualified generals directly." Lu Bu said.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The general who was named just now can be said to be Lu Bu's absolute confidant, and his status in the army is not low, so no one objected just now. Ding Yuan had also been working hard to cultivate Lu Bu, like Zhang Liao, who was highly obedient.
They all held important positions in the army, so after Ding Yuan's death, Lu Bu was in charge, and there were no other voices in the Bingzhou army.
"Wenyuan, you lead a thousand wolf cavalry and the remaining troops back to Bingzhou." After everyone left, Lu Bu said to Zhang Liao.
"General, I humbly wish to follow the general to kill the enemy on both sides and avenge the governor." Zhang Liao said, cupping his fists.
"Wenyuan, Bingzhou is the foundation of our army. If Bingzhou is not stable, the morale of the army will be unstable. I hope that after you return to Bingzhou, you can stabilize Jiuyuan as soon as possible and don't let the enemy cut off our army's retreat. At the same time, urge
Zhang Yang escorts grain and grass. Zhang Yang has just taken charge of Bingzhou, so he will definitely not neglect it." Lu Bu patted Zhang Liao's shoulder and said earnestly: "The imperial court appointed Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, as the shepherd of Bingzhou. When you go back this time, you must not conflict with him. When I return,
We will make a decision after merging the states."
"Promise, I will definitely live up to the general's trust in my humble position." After Lu Bu said this, Zhang Liao instantly felt the great responsibility and became more vigilant towards Zhang Yang.
In the past, when Ding Yuan was around, Zhang Yang didn't dare to do anything beyond his reach. Now that Ding Yuan is dead, the court has appointed him as the shepherd of Bingzhou, which has caused a lot of changes. However, the Wolf Cavalry is the most elite team of the Bingzhou Army.
, his chances of winning are still very good.
"Wenyuan, don't be ridiculous. You and I are brothers. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to keep Bingzhou stable. Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, has a good personal relationship with me. I think I won't have any difficulties with you in raising food and grass." Lu Bu said seriously:
"After arriving in Jiuyuan, I will raise more war horses and train knights. When I return, I will need three thousand elite cavalry."
"A humble position will surely live up to the general's expectations." Zhang Liao's eyes turned red. After many years, Lu Bu mentioned the word "brother" again.
"Go back and tidy up. I hope to return to Bingzhou one day. With you in Jiuyuan, I feel relieved here."
Zhang Liao clasped his fists and left. Lu Bu's trust made him feel excited, and he secretly vowed to train an elite cavalry and provide more horses for the Bingzhou Army.
The Bingzhou Army defended the Han border, and the soldiers brought by Ding Yuan were all elite among them. After Lu Bu's massive reorganization, the Bingzhou Army was full of vitality. The whole army was dedicated and only wanted to avenge Ding Yuan.
"General, spies in the city have come to report that Dong Zhuo wants to depose the current emperor and install Liu Xie as the new emperor." Cao Xing got the news and reported it to Lu Bu immediately.
