Huang Jinfeng hurriedly ran out to work hard. Hu You waited all night and wanted to have a good chat with Huang Jinfeng, but now, he was the only one left in the blink of an eye.

After not sleeping all night, Hu You didn't feel sleepy at this moment. So he just went out of the house to take a walk.

Having not been in the imperial capital for more than half a year, Hu You thought there would be any new changes in the city. After a long walk, there was no change except for the city being broken and old. This made Hu You a little disappointed.

When he thought about it, Hu You felt relieved. In this period of war, it was difficult for the people to survive, so how could they have any intention to make any changes?

After wandering around, Hu You's mood improved a lot. People who came back from the battlefield actually want to see such peaceful days. Although the people are not living well now, at least they don't need to avoid wars, so they have temporary peace.

After finding a teahouse, Hu You sat down and savored the ordinary tea. The plan was to count tomorrow. The problems of the demon clan, Qin Ming's problems, the problems of various countries in the Tianfeng Continent, the problems of the Immortal Bird Legion themselves, and many problems.

Hu You didn't know how many times he had thought about these things, but he never thought about them as calm as today, without so much attention to them. This feeling is really comfortable.

In the next few days, Hu You left the mansion early every morning, holding a notebook in his hand, wandering around casually. There was no certain goal, and there was no place to go. He just walked and stopped and recorded something in the notebook from time to time. Hongye and others were very curious about Hu You's notebook, and Hu You didn't hide it. Let them read it casually. However, Hongye and the others looked at it, but they couldn't understand it at all. If this notebook was not made by Hu You, they would have thought that the child was scribbling.

It is not entirely wrong to say that it is a graffiti. Because there is no word on the word Hu You, most of the characters are drawn with symbols that he only understands. Many years later, this book was called the Wordless Heavenly Book by the world. After reading it, it means governing the country and pacifying the world. But now it is nothing, it is just a notebook.

On that day, Hu You came back from outside the city and asked the messenger to order the generals of the army to discuss matters at 8 o'clock tomorrow. This was the first time Hu You came back this time to recruit his generals to meet him. Three days ago, Zhu Daneng had come to look for Hu You, but he could not meet Hu You.

The senior generals of the Legion knew that Hu You had notified the parliament this time. There must be something important to announce. They arrived at the venue early and asked each other, hoping to receive the news first. Fortunately, they were prepared in their hearts.

After inquiring, the generals found that even the important generals like Hongye and Zhu Daneng didn't know what Hu You were going to discuss, and they were even more curious.

At the right time at 8 o'clock, Hu You officially recruited a meeting. Those who received Hu You's orders arrived no matter how busy they were, and even the golden phoenix, who had been so busy that they had not seen a few days, arrived at the tent. No one dared to joke around, making the atmosphere in the venue relatively serious.

Hu You analyzed the situation in Tianfeng countries at the meeting, and then focused on the strategic goal of developing the economy with all its might. Hu You had talked about these things before, and all generals knew about them. He didn't feel anything new. Just when everyone thought that Hu You was just holding a regular meeting today, Hu You suddenly put forward a word - disarmament.

As soon as Hu You said this, it immediately caused a huge sensation. Even Hongye and Ximen Yufeng, who were most close to Hu You, were frightened by Hu You.

The word disarmament has not been said before, but it was said in peacetime. Now it is during wartime. On the battlefield, many soldiers feel that it is not enough and wish that the whole nation will be soldiers. However, Hu You proposed to disarmament at this time!

If this wasn't Hu You's mouth, if anyone else said it, I'd be afraid that my mother wouldn't recognize him. This is born to burn my brain and bring the whole army into the fire pit.

You should know that the current Immortal Legion is not the Immortal Legion a few years ago.) At its peak, the total number of troops was once more than four million. However, the current Immortal Legion, even if it is added to those who are still fighting in other places and not recovered, is there less than one million troops. Is there still a million troops left if there is a disarmament?

Zhu Daneng is Hu You's old subordinate. Few people in the Immortal Legion can match him. Moreover, he almost never directly opposes Hu You's advice, but this time he was the first to jump out.

"Young Marshal, I don't think it's appropriate to disarmament."

Zhu Daneng’s reason is very simple. The Mandala Empire has 72 big cities and 360 towns, and all places need troops to protect each place. With this item alone, more than 100 troops are not enough now, and it is even less enough to disarmament.

After listening to Zhu Daneng's words quietly, Hu You asked, "In the opinion of the general, how many troops do we need to defend these towns."

If you say it's not enough, then you have to give a sufficient number.

Zhu Daneng was born as a military general. When he was fine, he would think about these things all day long and replied after hearing this: "At least three million. More than three million troops must be protected from the city gate."

"What then?" Hu You continued to ask.

This question was a bit ignorant, and Zhu Daneng couldn't understand it.

"And what?" Zhu Daneng looked puzzled.

Hu You asked: "What are you going to do after protecting the town?"

If you protect it, what else can you do?

This time, not only Zhu Daneng couldn't understand it, but almost everyone who was sitting there couldn't understand it. Since ancient times, it was just to live in the army to protect the city, so what else could be said?

Hu You did not explain and asked another question. This question Hu You not only asked Zhu Daneng, but everyone present.

Hu You asked: "Everyone thought the town garrison was for."

The answer to this question is basically possible for those who are sitting there. Although everyone’s answers are different, in general, it means one thing, that is, to protect the people. The garrison of the army guarding the city and protecting the people is the meaning of the army.

Hu You nodded and first recognized everyone's answer. Then he asked: "Now the people in various places have no food and no clothes, and then they will send troops to them. What's the difference between robbing them directly?"

Hu You's words made everyone stunned. He felt that Hu You's words seemed wrong. But he couldn't say anything to refute Hu You. Hu You was right. Soldiers had to eat and support their families, and they couldn't work in vain. Raising soldiers had to use money, but where did the money come from? Naturally, they came from the people. Now the people can't even eat enough, so where can they still have money? Should they send troops to them protect them or harm them?

"But without the army, what should the enemy do to attack?" Zhu Daneng was a little anxious. The general should not be without soldiers for a day. If all the soldiers were laid off, what would you do to fight?

Hu You smiled faintly and said, "I mean disarmament, not disbanding the army. When the enemy comes, we will naturally have to resist."

After walking around, Hu You expressed his thoughts. This thought came to mind when Hu You was working with Huang Jinfeng that day.

A huge number of troops not only creates a huge financial burden on the legion in military expenditure, but also creates various problems in command and management at all levels. From the summary of various reports, it can be easily seen that various problems such as ineffective command and inconvenient mobility are not allowed.

The most important problem among them is that the huge number of troops did not bring huge victory to the legion. Hu You compared the legion's past battle examples and found that the Immortal Legion was the most powerful when the legion was just established, and that was also the time when the Immortal Legion had the smallest number of people. Later, as the Immortal Legion became larger and larger, the legion's combat power response became weaker and weaker.

Yes, the Immortal Legion once had nearly four million soldiers. But that was the period when the legion had the lowest combat power. Due to the blind broad army, soldiers were mixed with fish and dragons. The soldiers were not necessarily in terms of loyalty, but in terms of ability, they were not as good as early soldiers.

In recent years, the Legion's record has not been good, and it has suffered heavy losses in several major battles. The troops of millions of troops have become one million in a straight line. If you think about it, you will lose more than 70%. These people may not all die in battle, but the losses are certain.

Hu You also analyzed the reasons for the defeat. There are many reasons for the defeat, but the most important one is that the troops are too complex. Various problems arise because of too many people. At first, it was a small problem, but then it gradually grew larger and then became larger, and eventually caused the failure of the entire army.

Hu You gave several examples at the meeting and then analyzed them one by one. In those years, Hu You didn't exist, but the generals who were sitting were basically there. Many battles were commanded by the generals who were sitting. They knew better than anyone else about what happened on the battlefield.

Hu You said one by one that there were more and more generals at the bottom. In the past, they only knew that they had defeated and never sat down to carefully analyze the reasons for the failure. After Hu You analyzed this, they found that the strength of the demon clan was certainly a big factor, but more factors were still on the internal issues of the army.

Compared with the Battle of Huangshanhe, the biggest reason for the defeat in this battle was that there was not enough food. Why was there not enough food? It was because there were too many people. Huangshanhe was just a mountain city with only 50,000 residents. Just like this, it actually pulled 200,000 troops up, and the army was four times that of the residents. The whole city was almost crowded. After so many troops, even if it could win, it was slaughtered by 10,000 people. Two hundred thousand people and 50,000 people could not defeat 10,000 demon soldiers. Is it useful if there are too many people?

"Everyone, what the legion wants is elite soldiers, soldiers who can fight. No matter how many soldiers without combat power, it is useless to have more soldiers!" Hu You concluded at last.

The generals who sat there didn't say a word, and they never realized that too many troops were also a problem. Hu You had already proved this with examples, making them realize the terribleness of this.

"Young marshal, then what do you think is the number of legion troops is suitable?" Zhu Daneng asked.

Among the several battles Hu You analyzed before, one of them was commanded by him. After the war, he pushed most of the problems to the strength of the demons, while the problems Hu You analyzed were hygiene issues.

Losing a war is actually a hygiene problem. Does this sound ridiculous?

But that's the truth. Zhu Daneng led 300,000 troops at that time. Because Zhu Daneng was born in logistics, there was no problem with food and grass. People said that they would eat, drink, defecate, and Zhu Daneng's defeat was lost in the last two words.

La and Sa!

If Zhu Daneng had 300,000 soldiers in his hands, he used a relatively stolen number to calculate it. On average, a soldier had three pisses a day, which was 300,000 pisses and 900,000 pisses. The 300,000 army camps were connected, and it took an hour for horses to run. Soldiers could not leave the camp, so they could only solve it on the spot. What was the result? The barracks were full of pisses and urine. In the end, before they even fought with the demons, a plague broke out in the army. More than half of the 300,000 soldiers vomited and bleeded. The demons only used 5,000 soldiers and horses to sweep them.

That person said. This problem can be solved with a toilet, and there is no need to be disarmament.

But the problem was not on the toilet, but on the blind large-scale dispatch of troops. Because at that time, the Immortal Legion had three or four million troops, which general went out to fight. Without bringing hundreds of thousands of people, he was embarrassed to tell others that he would go to fight. Just five thousand demon soldiers, he actually transferred 300,000 troops. This was a huge joke. If there were not so many soldiers in the legion, how could such a thing happen?

Hu You pondered for a while and said, "How many troops should the Immortal Legion have? It is not what I think, but it should be calculated. This question is my focus today. Everyone who is sitting there has been a long war. No one will lose their experience. I hope that after you go back today, you will be able to use your brains to calculate the most reasonable size of the Immortal Legion based on your own experience and judgment of the current situation."

The meeting ended. Hu You returned directly to the mansion, entered the mansion, and chatted with his parents Hu Hantian and Liu Piaopiao, but he didn't even see Hongye.

The next day, when the meeting was held, before Hu You could say anything, he saw a piece of red eyeballs. Pairs of blood-filled eyes silently told the story of their owner not sleeping all night.

The calculation results were released, and the promise was surprisingly similar. More than 70% of the generals were appointed, and the number of the Immortal Legion should be around 500,000. There were 500,000 soldiers, which was enough to deal with any problems.

Of course, the premise of these 500,000 soldiers is that the combat power of the soldiers must meet the standards of the original Blizzard Legion. In other words, the average level of soldiers of the Immortal Legion is not as good as the previous Blizzard Legion.

Hu You was satisfied with this number. Because the result of his own calculation was almost the same. Having 500,000 troops was already very enough. No matter how many it was, it was useless.

After nearly a day of discussion and analysis, it was finally decided that the Immortal Legion would be dismissed to 500,000. Five hundred thousand were divided into five major military regions in the east, west, south, north and central, and each military region had 100,000 people. Ten thousand people were divided into ten divisions, and each division had 10,000 people. The fifty divisions were named from the 01st Division to the 50th Division, and the previous numbers were no longer used.

Hu You still commanded the five armies for the young commander. Zhu Daneng, Hou San, Harrison, Chen Dali, Ouyang Shuixian each led the army, Hongye, Ximen Yufeng and Ouyang Hanbing withdrew from the direct command of the army.

At the same time, Hu You's personal guard camp was reorganized again, with a number of 5,000 people. Yaya, Zhebe and Wang Yiyou were responsible for the executives, and Hu You personally dispatched it during the war.

This is the most important adaptation of the legion since Hu You founded the Immortal Legion.

Later historians said this was the most critical adaptation of the final victory of the Immortal Legion. This action not only cleaned up the various problems caused by the rapid expansion of the army over the past decade, but also prevented the troops from becoming bloated and reduced. The digital troops blurred the influence of senior officers on the headquarters, and made some generals with dissent intentions respect the entire France...

Of course, these are all the benefits analyzed by historians. Hu You also encountered a lot of trouble in this disarmament. The Immortal Legion has always been the first choice for young people with ambition to join the army. This time, not only did they not want people, but they laid off people. Once the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation. There were even rumors that the Immortal Legion was not good, etc.

However, Hu You was determined to do that this time. Even if he encountered a big problem, under his power, he would be suppressed and the entire legion became much more refreshing.

With fewer people in charge of each general, more energy will be added. They have more time to train their troops in order to shine in future wars. Under Hu You's prompt, many troops have also set up special companies. This special company is different from the previous special forces regiments of Hou San. The special company is a real all-round soldier. The main task of their main task is not on the front battlefield, but specializing in intelligence, assassination, and even poisoning.

At the same time as the reorganization of the troops, there was also the issue of urban security and defense. Hu You was even more bold in this reorganization. He delegated all the security and defense tasks of each city to the hands of the town committee. The members of the town committee were selected by the local people themselves. All matters such as tax collection, public security, etc. were the committee responsible, while Hongye, Ximen Yufeng and Ouyang Hanbing, who had withdrawn from the army, were in charge of urban affairs.

Hu You's management methods for towns are somewhat like a democratized system. Hongye and the other three are only responsible for guiding and coordinating roles, and do not directly participate in specific things in the town.

After a series of reorganizations, the Immortal Bird Legion finally separated from various complex things and became a simple combat force. While the Immortal Bird Legion was reorganized, the Qin Ming Group and the Demon Group also solved their own troubles respectively. Qin Ming completely mastered the Sebai Empire, and the Demon Clan's Golden Teeth replaced the Great Demon God and became the commander of the Demon Clan.

Tianfeng Continent was once again covered with clouds and a war was about to break out. (..)
