The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 127
After Chen Qun read out the imperial edict, he ordered Fang Tian's painted halberd to be handed over to Zhang Wu, and proposed to take Cao Ren back to Xudu.

Zhang Wu ordered Fang Tian's painted halberd to be kept in the Governor's Mansion, and then said to Chen Qun, "Don't worry, tomorrow is my wedding day, and Changwen and I hit it off right away, how can we not invite Changwen to drink a cup of wedding wine? Well, after the wedding tomorrow, I will arrange for Changwen and General Cao to return to Xudu in the morning, what do you think?"

At this time, Liu Bei also said: "Yes, Changwen, it's rare for you to come here once, just in time for such a happy event, why not just follow Dudu Zhang's arrangement. After this farewell, I don't know if there will be any more in the future." Goodbye day!" Liu Bei said, his eyes began to tear again.

The rest of the people also asked to stay, Chen Qun had no choice but to agree, anyway, it would not be a day or two.

In order to show his sincerity, after sending Chen Qun to the library to rest, Zhang Wu asked Cao Ren to be released from the small courtyard and let him live with Chen Qun. Anyway, Zhang Wu sent Cao Ren to protect their safety. Without soldiers guarding them, it is impossible for them to escape in private.

Zhang Wu didn't care what Chen Qun and Cao Ren discussed in private, anyway, everyone knew that when Cao Ren returned, the two sides would still break out in war.In Zhang Wu's view, with Cao Cao's strength, the opponent has more Cao Ren than one person, and one less him is not too many. In the end, the war is compared with comprehensive strength. In the final analysis, comprehensive strength means sufficient soldiers and food, stable people's hearts, and unity .

The upcoming battle of Rangcheng is related to whether Zhang Wu can win a period of stable development. In order to strengthen the defensive force of Rangcheng, Zhang Wu ordered Huo Jun to lead five thousand city defense troops to support Rangcheng.The five thousand city defense troops were specially trained by Zhang Wu early in the morning, and the main content of the training was how to defend.

Elite soldiers capable of field combat cannot be trained in a day or two, and they need to go through actual combat, but Zhang Wu feels that not all soldiers need to meet the standard of elite soldiers.Those soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, if they go to the battlefield for the first time, will inevitably be nervous, scared, and even have the idea of ​​​​running away when they are in close combat with the enemy.But if you just stand on the city wall and throw stones, blocks of wood, etc., it may be much better. If you go through training and special training, and you can obey orders and obey commands during wartime, then it is still qualified to defend the city of.

Therefore, Zhang Wu urgently assembled a group of reserve troops for specialized training to familiarize them with the structure of the city wall and teach them the experience of defending the city, such as when to throw stones and wood blocks down, when to hide, and how to understand the superiors. orders, etc.They also held drills from time to time, asking them to stand on the city wall in batches to simulate actual combat operations. It can be said that as long as they don't panic and can carry out various operations according to the orders of the grassroots generals, there will be no problem in defending the city.

Of course, this group of soldiers will give away their heads when they go out to fight in the city, unless they go out to pick up bargains when the enemy is defeated.

Huo Jun has been trained by Zhang Wu since he was called to join the army as the governor's mansion. In addition to letting him serve as Chen Sun's deputy to assist Xiangyang's city defense, he also asked many experienced generals and veterans to teach him experience. Always point him out personally.It can be said that Huo Jun was born a general who was good at defending the city, and he improved so fast that Chen Sun simply handed over all the city defense to him, and he was often lazy.

Following Huo Jun's arrival in Rangcheng, Zhang Wu was also appointed. As the general of Zhennan and the governor of Jingzhou, Zhang Wu appointed Huang Zhong as General Huwei and concurrently as the prefect of Nanyang. Of course, most of Nanyang County is now in the hands of Cao Cao. This prefect position is only a virtual position representing the level.If Nanyang County can be taken back one day, Huang Zhong, the prefect of Nanyang, can really take office.

Xu Shu was appointed as the general of Zhonglang, Fu Xun as the general of the side, and Huo Jun as the general of the beneficiary, temporarily assisting Huang Zhong to defend the city.Because Fu Xun already has military merits, his position is a little higher than that of Huo Jun who has no military merits for the time being.

At the same time, Gan Ning was appointed as General Yangwei and the prefect of Jiangxia, and he was dismissed from the position of the right governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion;The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion no longer has left and right governors, but has become a comprehensive management department that can not only intervene in the military, but also manage civil affairs. The military leadership in Jingzhou is gradually transferred to the Zhennan General's Mansion.

Appoint Wenpin as General Jianwei, stationed in Fancheng; Wei Yan as General Yamen, commanding Wuwei Camp as Zhang Wu's personal guard commander.Ding Feng was appointed as General Fenwei to lead the Jiangling water army; Feng Xi was appointed as General Pi to assist Zhang Wu in commanding the Xiangyang water army.

Appoint Pang Tong as the military division sacrifice wine, as Zhang Wu's chief counselor.The rest of the people were promoted and rewarded, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted for a while, and Zhang Wu's position in Jingzhou was further consolidated.

When Xu Shu received the appointment, he couldn't help thinking carefully.Both Pang Tong and Xu Shu were Zhang Wu's military advisers, and Xu Shu was the first to join Zhang Wu. From the position point of view, Pang Tong's military adviser, Jijiu, was ranked ahead of Xu Shu as the chief military adviser.However, the position of the military officer offering wine is now the chief of staff. He does not command the soldiers, but is just a think tank next to the commander. His power status depends entirely on the trust and value of the commander.

General Zhong Lang, the military advisor, is not only the commander's counselor, he can participate in the discussion of core military secrets, and he also has the advantage that he can lead troops, and he can also be the commander of an army. As for how many soldiers he can lead, it also depends on the trust of the boss.

Xu Shu felt that his boss trusted him and Pang Tong very much, and Xu Shu, who is both civil and military, also yearned to lead troops to conquer the world and make contributions, so he was very satisfied with Zhang Wu's appointment.He also saw Zhang Wu's affirmation of him and his future plans from this appointment, which was to let him be alone.

Huang Zhong suddenly became a general with the same status as Gan Ning, and he was even more grateful to Zhang Wu. As the saying goes, a soldier dies for his confidant. If you treat me as a soldier of the country, I will repay you as a soldier of the country!
Wenpin is also very satisfied. As an old general of the old state herdsman, he can stand side by side with Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, and Ding Feng, and he can also independently lead a main force to station in Fancheng, which is very important. Value him.And there is another piece of information hidden, that is, Zhang Wu has no other thoughts about Liu Qi, and Liu Qi's state pastoral position is stable and absolutely safe.Otherwise, Zhang Wu would not let Liu Biao's confidant general take charge of the army and be stationed in such an important place as Fancheng.

Wei Yan's position is a little lower than the other four, but he is Zhang Wu's personal commander, which is the most trusted position, so the rest of the people also attach great importance to Wei Yan, even Chen Sun and Gan Ning are kind to Wei Yan He shouted "Wen Chang".

These general positions held by Zhang Wufeng do not look like their names, but they are actually generals with miscellaneous names.From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, the positions of military generals from high to low were: general, general of hussars, general of cavalry, general of guard, general of front, rear, left and right, general of four expeditions, general of four towns, general of four'an, general of four levels, and general of miscellaneous numbers. , partial general.

Zhang Wu is now the Zhennan general among the generals of the four towns. He is two grades worse than Liu Bei's Zuo general. General Lu is also a miscellaneous general.

If it weren't for Zhang Wu's capture of Cao Ren, Cao Cao would not be willing to confer the title of General Zhennan to Zhang Wu.

But in troubled times, having soldiers and territory is king. When Cao Cao was not as good as Yuan Shao, he could only give up the position of general to Yuan Shao and become a Sikong himself. In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor directly. official!
