Han Dao world

This is the emperor's respect and recognition for him, and he cannot be disappointed.

Therefore, when everyone else agreed with Shi Sun Rui's opinion, even if they had different opinions, they would keep it to avoid confrontation, Guan Yu unabashedly expressed his disdain for the original cavalry of the Northern Army.

The original three battalions of cavalry of the Northern Army were taken away by the emperor, and there were still 600 cavalrymen who had been stationed in Taiyuan with the soldier Sun Rui for these years.

After Bingliang was pacified, they got a sufficient supply of war horses, and selected some elites from the attached Hu people, increasing their number to nearly 3000.Coupled with the command of Wang Ling and other young heroes in Bingzhou, the strength is not weak.

Therefore, Shi Sunrui's opinion is to keep the existing establishment and just add the newly allocated cavalry.

Guan Yu objected.

I don't care about other cavalry battalions, but the cavalry battalion does not accept these cavalry.

Although the name of the cavalry battalion has not changed, its nature is different. This is a heavy cavalry with armored cavalry as its core.You are all light cavalry, not suitable to stay in the cavalry camp.

If you want to stay in the cavalry camp, you must pass the special assessment of the heavy cavalry, otherwise you will be transferred to the Hu cavalry camp and Changshui camp, which are mainly light cavalry.

As soon as Guan Yu said these words, the atmosphere became a little stiff.

Shi Sun Rui originally wanted to discuss with Guan Yu. Although you brought 150 armored cavalry and 5000 elite cavalry, the establishment of the cavalry camp is 2000, and there is still a shortage of nearly 1000 people. The original cavalry camp There are less than [-] cavalry, so it doesn't affect it at all.

As for training, you Guan Yunchang is so good at training soldiers, are you afraid that you won't be able to do it?

Shi Sun Rui asked himself that he had given Guan Yu face, but Guan Yu just refused to give in.

Whatever you say, the assessment cannot be spared.In the riding camp, it is better not to overuse the lack, and not one that does not meet the requirements.

At this moment, Shi Sun Meng walked in, walked quickly to Shi Sun Rui, and whispered something in his ear.

Shi Sunrui frowned, and tapped his finger on the table a few times. "It's getting late today, so let's adjourn the meeting for the time being. Please come back, gentlemen, and think it over again. We'll discuss it tomorrow."

Everyone got up, promised with a loud bang, turned around and left the tent.

Sun Rui winked at Ju Jun.Ju Jun understood and stood still.

After everyone left the tent, Shi Sun Rui walked up to Ju Jun and sighed.

"Yuan Benchu ​​died, and there must be changes in Jizhou. Can you ask Gongyu to think of a way to release some Ruying people and let them go to the funeral?"

Ju Jun rolled his eyes. "This is indeed an opportunity, I will try."

Chapter 849

Xu Huang quickened his pace and caught up with Guan Yu.

"Yun Chang, drink two cups?"

Guan Yu turned his head to look at Xu Huang, nodded, but did not speak.

He knew what Xu Huang wanted to say to him, but Xu Huang was kind to him.If Xu Huang hadn't kept him in Jiguan and created a fighting opportunity for him, he wouldn't be where he is today.

While chatting, the two left the Chinese army camp and walked towards the middle base camp.

Middle Base Battalion was one of the eight schools, which was abolished when the Union Army was reduced to five schools.Now that it is rebuilt, it is a brand new battalion. The soldiers in the battalion are all elite infantry who have just participated in the parade, and they are placed under Xu Huang's command. There are problems of integration of different regions, but there is no contradiction between the old and the new.

All are newcomers.

Fortunately, Xu Huang not only has outstanding personal ability, but also has stronger military training ability. Adhering to the concept that the emperor and the soldiers are of one mind, he quickly became one with these subordinates.

Seeing Xu Huang and Guan Yu entering the camp, the soldiers along the way saluted one after another.

Xu Huang saluted from time to time.

Guan Yu saw it hot, and said with emotion: "Brother Gongming, I really envy you. Sometimes I think, if the emperor didn't separate you and me, let me be your fake captain, that would be great."

Xu Huang laughed. "Yun Chang, the Son of Heaven has very high expectations for you. You are always my fake captain, won't you bury it? The middle battalion is the backbone of the infantry, and the cavalry battalion is the main force of the cavalry. Neither of them can be lacking. Yun Chang, You have a heavy burden on your shoulders."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and sighed. "Because of this, I refuse to give up. Although those knights are not bad, they are still too far from the standard of the cavalry. When they enter the battle, not only will they not be able to fight, but they may mess up their own positions."

Xu Huang nodded thoughtfully.

Armored cavalry is different from ordinary heavy cavalry and has extremely high requirements.In addition to personal physical fitness, skills and tactics, mutual cooperation is also required.Only when everyone can do as required can they be twisted into a single rope and exert the greatest impact when going into battle.

In the face of an overwhelmingly superior number of enemies, if someone can't restrain the fear in his heart and mess up the battle, it is likely to bring disastrous consequences.

From this perspective, Guan Yu's persistence is not without reason.

"Yun Chang, have you ever thought that you may not have the chance to show your skills at all in the conquest of Jizhou this time?"

Guan Yu sighed.

He had thought of this a long time ago.The judges are trapped in Yecheng, Youzhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu, and the cavalry who can still serve the judges is very limited. The light cavalry of the Hu cavalry camp and the Changshui camp are enough to cope, and the heavy cavalry of the Tun cavalry camp is likely to be in charge , it is unlikely to have the opportunity to go directly to battle.

As for the siege, there is nothing to do with heavy cavalry.

"Then have you ever thought about why the Son of Heaven rebuilt the cavalry camp at this time, and even sent half of the armored cavalry over?"

Guan Yu was taken aback. "Why?"

Xu Huang had already reached the door of the big tent, and turned around to look around. "The weather is nice, let's drink outside the tent, so as not to be bored in the tent."

Guan Yu didn't want to drink, so he agreed casually, urging Xu Huang to speak quickly.

Xu Huang, however, took his time and ordered people to lay out a table and set up a table. He brought wine and took a seat in front of the tent.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu was thoughtful. "You mean, the emperor wants to see if I can take over the cavalry camp?"

Xu Huang smiled slightly. "Yun Chang, you are right. If the cavalry battalion wants to exert its true power, it must be of one mind, and there must be no one who acts like a fool. But have you ever thought that it is not only the cavalry battalion that needs unity, but the entire northern army. That's right."

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a slow breath.

He kind of understood what Xu Huang meant.

The Eighth School of the Northern Army is not a separate eight battalions, but a combination of different functions.In order to exert real combat effectiveness, it is not enough for any battalion to be strong, but all eight battalions must be strong and cooperate with each other tacitly.

The cavalry battalion is very strong, but without the cooperation of the light cavalry and the Shesheng battalion, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion is difficult to last.

"Each of the eight battalions has its own characteristics, and each has its own difficulties. The power of the cavalry battalion lies in the battle, but the difficulty lies in the high requirements for soldiers and the difficulty in training. It is difficult to form combat effectiveness within two or three years."

Guan Yu frowned. "So, it doesn't make any difference whether the riding camp goes to Jizhou or not?"

"You can't say that." Xu Huang shook his head. "The Northern Army without a cavalry battalion is an incomplete Northern Army. It's just that this time the cavalry battalion is coordinated with other battalions, but in the future other battalions may cooperate with the cavalry battalion."

"future?"

"You don't think that after Jizhou is pacified, the emperor will let Nanshan go?"

Guan Yu was at a loss for words for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he said reluctantly: "In this case, I will accept some reluctantly."

The wine is hot, the mist is lingering, and the aroma of the wine is tangy.

Xu Huang raised his wine glass. "Not just a few, but the entire cavalry battalion. Let them practice according to your requirements. If they succeed in training, they will stay. If they fail in training, even if they are sent to other battalions, they will be well-known elites. Who would refuse?"

Guan Yu's eyes flashed, his anger turned into joy, and he nodded repeatedly.

-

When Jujun returned to the camp, he didn't go into his own tent, but directly into Jushou's tent.

Jushou has guests.A young man was sitting opposite Jushou, with several blueprints spread out on the desk.With a glance, Ju Jun recognized that it was a siege equipment, so he couldn't help but give the young man another look.

Jushou got up quickly. "Brother, this is Ma Jun and Ma Deheng, a famous doctor in Guanzhong University. He just arrived from Chang'an and is preparing to serve in the Northern Army."

When Ju Jun heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

"It turns out that you are Master Ma. I didn't expect you to be so young. Tsk tsk, what a hero out of a young man."

Ma Jun blushed, stuttered and couldn't speak.

Ju Jun laughed and invited Ma Jun to sit down again.

He had heard of Ma Jun's name a long time ago, and knew that he was a skilled craftsman in Guanzhong. The efficiency of the improved loom was nearly ten times higher than that of the original loom.Guanzhong and Hedong can now sell a large amount of silk, and Ma Jun's improved loom has made great contributions.

Shi Sunrui had long wanted to invite Ma Jun to serve in the Northern Army, but Ma Jun refused.Later, I heard that Ma Jun made a lot of profits from making looms, and he was not even willing to invite him to give lectures at Taixue, so he gave up.

Unexpectedly, Ma Jun would appear here suddenly, and it was in Jushou's big tent.

Needless to say, Ju Shou must have been in the middle of the operation, and Ma Jun, a famous craftsman, was invited.

With Ma Jun's assistance, it will be much easier to attack Yecheng.

Ju Jun exchanged pleasantries with Ma Jun for a while, and Ma Jun was very uncomfortable, so he got up and said goodbye on the grounds that the boat was tired.Jushou didn't stop him, and ordered someone to send Ma Jun to rest.

Only Ju Jun and Ju Shou were left in the tent, and Ju Jun didn't care about his intentions, so he first asked how Ma Jun got here.

Ju Shou smiled. "It's not my credit, it's the Zhongshan Zhen family's credit."

Ju Jun rolled his eyes and immediately thought of someone. "You mean, it's the little girl who is said to be ordered by a nobleman?"

Jushou nodded. "I don't know what method she used to convince Ma Jun."

Ju Jun couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Although Ma Jun is dexterous, he is a white man after all. It may be a little difficult to be the captain of Qingche directly."

Ju Shou shook his hand. "This person doesn't have a good reputation, and he has no interest in Captain Qingche, as long as he can do things."

Chapter 850

Ju Jun was overjoyed.

Ma Jun is willing to serve the Northern Army, but he doesn't care about his official position. This is simply a good thing he could only wish for.

"How did you get in touch with that little girl from the Zhen family?"

Ju Shou smiled and gave the general situation.

This time, Sun Rui went to Luoyang to participate in the grand parade. He knew that the emperor had made up his mind to put down Jizhou by force, and he intended to force some of the Jizhou clans to rebel. Jizhou would suffer heavy losses.

He couldn't stop the emperor's thoughts, so he could only settle for the next best thing, trying to find a way to prepare for the future recovery of Jizhou.

He naturally thought of Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi has national beauty and the strong strength of the Zhongshan Zhen family. It is said that she has met the emperor and has a good impression.If she can enter the palace, Jizhou will have a chance to speak out in the palace.

It was not difficult to find Zhen Mi - she was the instructor of the martial arts hall accompanying him - but Zhen Mi rejected his proposal.

Entering the palace will not solve the problem.

Besides, there were people from Jizhou in the palace, and Dong Cheng's daughter, Dong Wan, was in the palace, and she was a member of the Empress Dowager Dong's family. She grew up with the emperor in Nangong, and she was the closest.

To find someone to speak for Jizhou, Dong Wan is more suitable than her.

What's more, Xiaohuan and Xiaoling are both from Hejian. The emperor's biological mother, Empress Huai, is from Zhao, and the blood of Jizhou is flowing on the emperor's body, but the people of Jizhou don't regard the emperor as their own.

Instead of thinking about taking the path of the harem, it is better to think about how to serve the emperor in conquering Jizhou.

The last solution Zhen Mi thought of was to invite Ma Jun to serve in the Northern Army.

In the eighth school of the Northern Army, the emperor wanted to build a chariot battalion to be responsible for manufacturing ordnance, but he has not found a suitable candidate.Originally, Zhen Mi planned to recommend herself, but she was self-aware and knew that she was not good enough, so she thought of Ma Jun.

As for Zhen Mi talking about Ma Jun, that's not clear.

Zhen Mi didn't say anything, and Ma Jun didn't mention it either.

Ju Jun nodded frequently after listening. "Unexpectedly, this little girl not only has color, but also has a strategy, which is much better than Shenpei and Tian Feng's generation. Gongyu, you have to keep in touch with her. Although entering the palace is not the only choice, it is still worth considering. As for Dong Cheng Father and daughter..."

Ju Jun snorted, and didn't bother to mention it again.

As a member of the Empress Dowager Dong's family, Dong Cheng would actually attach himself to Dong Zhuo.As for his daughter Dong Wan, she looks very martial, similar to Ma Yunlu, Lu Xiaohuan and others, but her ability is also limited.

If Zhen Mi can enter the palace, she must be better than Dong Wan.

It's just that this matter cannot be forced, Zhen Mi must have her own ideas.

After talking for a long time, Ju Jun thought of something, and told Ju Shou what Sun Rui thought.

When Yuan Shao passed away, according to etiquette, his wife and former ministers should go to the funeral.If we can take this opportunity to release a part of the judges, it may be possible to ease the conflict, create some conditions for forced surrender or even sue for peace, and avoid a big war.

It's rare for Sun Rui to think so.For him, the surrender of trial and match may not be a good thing.

Ju Shou smiled wryly. "Brother, you don't understand what kind of person is an interrogator. At this moment, it is impossible for him to let a person go. He will only use this opportunity to encourage more people to fight to the death."

"Is someone really that stupid?" Ju Jun was skeptical.

It's such a time, and there are still people who believe that they can defeat the court and the emperor?

Open your eyes and look at the situation.Not to mention that the Son of Heaven has several armies encircling him on all sides, even if the Son of Heaven does not show up, only Shi Sun Rui led the Northern Army into Jizhou and can take Yecheng, at most it will only take a little longer.

"Brother, people only believe what they want to believe." Ju Shou sighed. "Those who haven't seen the imperial army with their own eyes will not believe that the imperial court can put down Jizhou by force. Didn't you also feel that it was wrong before the emperor released the rumor that he would forcefully save the land in Jizhou?"

Ju Jun blushed immediately.

Before Shi Sunrui led the expanded northern army back to Taiyuan, they received news that the emperor intended to forcibly spend the fields in Jizhou.They were worried about this, and felt that the emperor's move was to help the trial and distribution, so that more Jizhou people chose to support the trial and distribution and become enemies of the court.

Before the war, making this kind of decision was simply an enemy.
