Section 89 The Lord of the Army
Just when the Xu sisters had their own thoughts, Jiang Feng ushered in the busiest time as Xu Ning said.
After leaving for more than 20 days, too many things that need to be decided and handled have accumulated, and every item cannot be delayed, especially when the Caizhou army was about to invade.
The first thing to bear is the military problem.
After reaching an agreement with Huang Anjin, the rest was to convince Qin Zaidao, Gu Minghai and Zhang Yue.
Jiang Feng proposed everything for Gushi and to repel the Caizhou army. In the end, the reason why Qin Zaidao and the other two were convinced. Indeed, the three of them were also clearly aware of the problems facing the Gushi army at the moment. Faced with the Caizhou army, which was far from comparable to ant thieves, if the Gushi army wanted to win this battle, they had to use all the elements that could improve combat effectiveness, and the group of officers from Daliang had to use it to the extreme.
The three of them also knew the status of the Guangsheng Army in the Daliang Army in the past. Although it was abolished, it was the result of internal struggles in Daliang and had nothing to do with the quality of these officers themselves. If they could be quickly integrated into the Gushi Army, it would indeed have a significant effect on the combat effectiveness of the Gushi Army.
The final decision was that the left camp was handed over to the children of Bianliang to take charge, and the Zuo Camp and the upcoming old Bianliang army were mixed together, and a total of three battalions were organized, the Zuo Camp, the Right Camp, and the Hou Camp, with Yang Kan, Ding Man and Guo Tai as the commander of the camp.
For Yang Kan, a battalion commander was undoubtedly a bit useless, but Yang Kan was very satisfied.
Jiang Feng even asked him for his opinion implicitly, hoping that he would replace Jiang Feng as the post of Yu Hou, the commander of the army, but Yang Kan politely declined.
As a newcomer, he knew very well that he had not yet established prestige in the Gushi army and had no foundation in the Gushi army. Of course, he could claim to be the first in martial arts, but personal martial arts in the army were only one aspect. Wars were never fought alone, but relying on a group of backbone officers and all soldiers under his command.
Although I have worked as Du Yuhou in Guangsheng Army, it is all past history. No one in Gushi Army will admit this. If you want to establish your prestige, you must obtain it from the battlefield.
In contrast, although Jiang Feng was willing to serve as the Du Yuhou, he wanted to become a deputy who did not really control the troops.
This is absolutely inappropriate for a man who has not yet established any confidence and prestige in this army.
So he also suggested to Jiang Feng that he would rather be in charge of the troops alone, even if it was the weakest battalion. As long as he was given time, he would be confident that he would train this battalion into the most powerful combat power of the entire Gushi Army.
Jiang Feng agreed to his request generously and happily, and proposed to mix the left camp of Gushi Army with the upcoming Daliang veterans, join more than 30 military officers at all levels into them, and even draw some personnel into the front camp, which is currently in full training to serve as military positions. This surprised Yang Kan.
Mastering the basic troops is an eternal approach for every commander. Jiang Feng trusted his Bianliang children so much and agreed to go to Daliang to recruit veterans on his own, but also took the initiative to mix the 500 Zuoying people with Daliang veterans. What shocked Yang Kan even more was that Jiang Feng dared to let him and Ding Man, Guo Tai and others come to control the forces of these three battalions. This may certainly be related to the imminent attack of the Caizhou army, but Jiang Feng let go too much.
He was so confident that he could control the entire Gushi Army, and wasn't he afraid that his group would rob the leader of the magpie's nest?
Yang Kan couldn't help but remembered the long conversation Chang Kun had with him before coming.
"Don't underestimate Erlang. This boy's courage, vision, scheming and mind are definitely not what you and I see now. Think about it, how brave and determined he dared to repel more than 20,000 ants sieges with more than 2,000 state troops?..."
"With internal and external troubles, I dared to attract the Hubei Huang Du family to the north as a small camp commander at that time. How careful is the mind and how broad is the vision? Ask yourself, can you and I think of that situation?..."
"While the remnants of the city broke, they dared to come to Bianliang alone, lobby and recruit, and they really got so much aid from Daliang. Do you think Li He, Li Gu, Pei Lin are really stupid people? They have also recruited so many people. If you and me are the ones, can they do this under such circumstances?..."
"As for his talent and entry in martial arts, I think this is secondary, but as you said, you have never heard of this precedent from the marrow cleansing stage and directly entering the heavenly realm within a month, and you have never heard of this precedent!..."
"Looking at the actions of this son, whether he is a genius who is rare in a century, I dare not assert that he is definitely an outstanding hero. When I go to Gushi, Qilang must be careful in his state of mind and must not have any ideas of transcendence, otherwise..."
Yang Kan and Chang Kun have been with each other for several years. Even when Chang Kun was the commander of the Guangsheng Army, he never praised anyone with such words. Even though Jiang Feng may have some connection with Chang Kun, the relationship is slightly better than nothing and is not in Yang Kan's eyes at all. Chang Kun is not the kind of person who goes against his original intention, otherwise he would not have lived in the military and armored house.
"Qiro, what else do you have to say?"
Jiang Feng said that Yang Kan's chaotic thoughts were brought back, "Mr. Yu, I have no objection, I will follow the decision of Mr. Yu."
"Haha, Qilang, are all their own brothers, there is no need to be so polite. Besides, Lao Gu, Zi Yue and An Jin are all people with temperament. You can know after you have more contact. Now you and I are a family, and we all belong to the Gushi Army group. Now we are working together to overcome difficulties together! In the future, no matter who joins in, we need to remember one thing, that is, once we enter this door, we will be a family. If we have a different intention, heaven and earth will be destroyed!"
Yang Kan's humility and caution still won the favor of Qin Zaidao and others, and Jiang Feng's later words also made them feel terrified. This is actually a reminder to them not to build mountains and factions in the army, and not to exclude newcomers, at least not now.
"Since that's the case, even if the current military system has been basically decided, let's go, the construction of the cavalry camp must be stepped up. When the Shenzhou army comes, there will be one or two hundred cavalry troops and unified into the Gushi cavalry camp. You must seize the time to integrate them. In addition, I also plan to buy some war horses from Nanyang. The quality may not be very good, but at least we must form a complete independent cavalry camp. This is an indispensable elite force in our Gushi army's future field battles. Besides, this is left to you!"
Jiang Feng's words were not loud, but his attitude was extremely serious.
Indeed, for an army, an army without a cavalry can only be a defensive army, always a lame person, and always a second-rate army, which is particularly prominent in the Central Plains and the northern regions.
Even in the southern region, no vassal clan dares not to establish a cavalry, at most, it is the size. Otherwise, when you are fighting against the enemy, you will lose a sharp knife, which is equivalent to giving up the initiative to the other party.
Nowadays, due to its own strength, it is naturally impossible to establish a cavalry on a large scale, and it cannot support it either in horses or in money or food.
A cavalry with 500 people consumes at least three to five times the cost of infantry. If you want to become an elite army, it may be eight to ten times. Therefore, at this stage, Gushi was unable to form a large-scale cavalry and build a cavalry battalion. Jiang Feng also made great decisions. Fortunately, there were one or two hundred cavalrymen in the Shenzhou Army to supplement it. Otherwise, under the existing conditions of Gushi, it would be impossible to build a complete cavalry battalion.
Qin Zaidao's face turned red, he stood up and bowed, "Abide by the orders of the commander, and will live up to the heavy trust of the commander!"
Although Qin Zaidao had some opinions on Jiang Feng's exclusion from the reconstruction of the tooth camp, Jiang Feng was about to hand over an independent cavalry camp to himself, which immediately made his previous depression and dissatisfaction disappear without a trace.
The cavalry has always been an elite in an army, and the commander of the cavalry is also well-deservedly second only to the commander and deputy commander. Qin Zaidao did not expect to take over the position of Yu Hou. In his opinion, Yang Kan's martial arts strength was the most suitable, but even Yang Kan chose to serve as the commander of the left camp, so no one could sit in this Yu Hou.
It has always been Qin Zaidao's dream to be able to command a cavalry, but the conditions of the Gushi Army did not allow it before, and only more than one hundred cavalrymen made Qin Zaidao very regretful. But now that Jiang Feng has expressed his opinion in front of everyone, even if this cavalry camp is sure, his commander of the cavalry can be well deserved.
Qin Zaidao was very satisfied. At this moment, all his thoughts were placed on the next step to build a sharp and unstoppable cavalry camp.
"Ziyue, I'll leave the Yabat to you. Yabat is also an independent Yabat, and I don't need to say much about the importance of Yabat. How to make Yabat an elite to overcome difficulties? I think from the command of your Yabat to every Yabat soldier, you need to start over and think carefully. Everyone in the Yabat, including your Yabat commander, must have a clearer position on yourself. Don't be able to pull out the Yabat out of the Yabat at that time, the Yabat commander is not as good as other battalions. I'm afraid your Yabat commander will be embarrassed."
Jiang Feng was not polite to his close friend, but his tone became a little more stern.
At this time, Jiang Feng truly felt the atmosphere of the leader of the army.
Whether it was Qin Zaidao or Yang Kan, as well as Luo Zhen and He Decai, who were accompanying the last seat, they all felt that the young man sitting in the center of the upper head was truly different from the Jiang Erlang in the past.
Maybe you can still call him Erlang privately after you come down, but if you regard him as Erlang in your mind and ignore his identity as an army commander, you will make a big mistake.
Zhang Yue also did not dare to neglect and stood up to salute, "Don't worry, sir, I will never let my mission go!"
Jiang Feng also knew that Huang Anjin's martial arts breakthrough gave Qin Zaidao, Zhang Yue and Gu Minghai a great impact.
A warrior who was originally in the Tongmai stage actually broke through and entered the marrow cleaning stage after a battle. It was a bit embarrassing that these characters who used to think they could beat each other. If they didn't catch up as soon as possible, they might really be unable to sleep.
Especially Gu Minghai, Huang Anjin was even inferior to him, but he quickly achieved a breakthrough by using a fierce battle with ant thieves. Although this fierce battle almost killed Huang Anjin, the breakthrough he received still made Gu Minghai particularly envious.
After all, as a martial artist, the advancement in martial arts is always one of the greatest motivations they pursue.
Lord Yu Hou's trip to Bianliang even leaped into the realm of heaven. It is said that most of the people who came to Bianliang were above the marrow cleansing stage. This huge pressure made these people not sleep well last night.
If you can't judge the situation and keep pace with the times, you may be the fate of being eliminated. This alarm bell has already sounded in Qin Zaidao, Zhang Yue, Gu Minghai and others.
