Section 283: Descending the General
In the flower hall outside the White Tiger Festival Hall, a group of figures who look like military generals sat upright in the Hu chair, with a solemn appearance.
Cui Shang sat in the Hu chair on the left, with a gentle face, holding a teacup with a smile.
"You don't have to be restrained. When the prince heard that you were coming, he had already swept the bed and treated him. He specially reminded Cui that as soon as his affairs were handled, he would come over immediately."
"Mr. Cui is so polite. I am an idle person. If I can be seen by the prince, I will be loving. How dare I ask for anything else?" One of them had purple-red noodles soup, thick and covered with facial hair, and his eyebrows were even more distinctive, short and thick, especially at the top, which looked like four eyes.
"Haha, the prince will arrive soon, and you will be able to feel the prince's sincerity." Cui Shang knew that these people were still a little nervous now.
It is not easy to be an idle person, especially behind it there is a big family, or even a big family. From Bianliang to Xuzhou, Shouzhou, and Suzhou, cold reception is inevitable. I am used to being a superior person in Bianliang, but when Xuzhou is reduced to the point where no one cares about it, not everyone can adapt to this contrast, and only then can these guys who want to ask for a background.
But for Xuzhou, these people are in urgent need.
Xuzhou's strength has expanded too quickly. Soldiers can be trained or recruited surrendered soldiers, weapons and armor can be built, logistics can be supported, and even middle and low-level officers can be drawn or even trained from other troops. However, middle and senior generals, especially generals of the chief and deputy commanders, are quite lacking for Xuzhou.
A rough estimate is that the Xuzhou army now has five towns, the Gaya Army and seven independent towns of the Heshuo Army that have not yet obtained the jurisdiction, which are close to ninety armies. This also means that the number of commanders and deputy commanders needs to reach more than 180. According to convention, military generals such as military commanders and above must not only be proficient in military command, but also have the strength of the later stage of the Tianjing Restoration period, so that you can ensure that you can lead the army to lead the way at critical moments.
Fortunately, the expansion of the Xuzhou army was basically based on the establishment of the old army of the Zhongzheng Army, the Desheng Army, the Invasion Army, the Taining Army, the Pinglu Army, and the Taining Army, especially the Invasion Army, the Taining Army, the Pinglu Army, many of the three armies of the Taining Army, surrendered and surrendered in the establishment of the establishment, which greatly ensured that the combat effectiveness of these armies would not decline.
But even so, due to the particularity of the war, war damage is inevitable. Some elderly, disabled, and sick generals withdrew from the withdrawal, and the large-scale expansion of the Xuzhou army made this army's generals at the level of military commander and deputy envoy still seem to be short of force.
Especially the establishment of the Heshuo Army, the expansion of the Huai You Army and the expansion of the Pinglu Army, this problem is particularly prominent.
Because the Heshuo Army absorbed a large number of original Liang army surrendered soldiers, they could still make up for the middle and low-level officers, but for the middle and high-level generals, due to their family and honor, most of them returned to Bianliang and withdrew to Xuzhou with their families, but did not enter the Xuzhou army.
Since the Pinglu Army mainly gave priority to ensuring the combat effectiveness of the Ziqing Army, most of the Pinglu Army were newly built, and the difference between military generals at this level was also large. The Huai You Army had undergone division and transfer, and the basic troops were quickly narrowed. Only then did it start to rebuild and supplement again, so the gap was relatively large.
"The prince is here!" The shouts of the personal guards came from outside the flower hall, and footsteps came, and everyone stood up in a hurry.
Jiang Feng changed into an official uniform. The clothes of the prince looked a little more mature, but they were not popular with Jiang Feng. He was more willing to pass on some ordinary robes. However, today's reception was unusual and it had to be more formal to reflect respect for these people, so he changed into an official uniform.
The title of prince was about to come down soon, but it didn't have much meaning to Jiang Feng, or it was meaningful, but it could only be nominal. The arousal of Yang Wenchang and Dangxiang people made the Chang'an in Guanzhong and the court was now frightened, and finding a safer place became an option. I didn't think about it, if I left Chang'an, would this court still be called a court? Is it really going to become the kind of puppet court in the late Han Dynasty?
This is not something Jiang Feng is concerned about. He hopes that the court will best hold on to Chang'an, even if it falls into Yang Wenchang's hands, it will be better than moving to his own territory.
I guess the Yuchi family will soon start to move to Xuzhou, so it depends on whether the Jinshang will intercept the trouble.
Jiang Feng walked with a smile and greeted everyone in the flower hall. Naturally, Cui Shang and Hou Chen introduced the people they didn't know, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Jiang Feng couldn't ask for the wishes expressed by this group of people.
There were also a few people in it that Xuzhou took the initiative to invite.
For example, Zhou Wang was originally Yang Pu's confidant general, but after Yang Pu went to Chang'an to be a rich man, he soon felt that the present was different. He was so annoyed by the harassment of the children of the nine nobles in Chang'an, and then began to harass his family. The feeling of falling hair phoenixes being worse than chickens made him realize that no place in this world is a comfortable place, so when the personnel sent by Xuzhou began to contact him, he quickly accepted the invitation and was willing to serve Jiang Feng.
In fact, even Yang Pu has expressed his intention to return to the jurisdiction of the Xuzhou General Administration Office to settle down. Of course, he is also very tactful and clear that he will not return to Luzhou or Yangzhou, but will live in Xuzhou or Shouzhou.
Yang Pu himself strongly supported Zhou Wang's attitude. In his own words, Zhou Wang is in his prime and can achieve something, so why should he die of old age on the bed? This also strengthened Zhou Wang's idea of returning to Xuzhou to serve.
Zhou Wang and Chai Yong claimed that Wu Yang had his left arm and right arm at that time. Even Chai Yong had to admit that Zhou Wang's military ability and martial arts level were even stronger than him. Jiang Feng was of course happy to accept it.
For example, Shi Feng's nephew Shi Feng was originally Shi Feng's deputy, but later, in order to improve his martial arts strength, he went out for a trip.
Unexpectedly, Xuzhou was swept by Huaiyou and Caizhou like a destruction. When he came back, he could not do anything. In desperation, he had to follow Shifeng to Chang'an. He also sat in the city of Chang'an this year and became close friends with Zhou Wang.
Now that there is this opportunity, Zhou Wang also introduced Shi Jian to Xuzhou. Xuzhou also sent an invitation enthusiastically, and Shi Jian took advantage of the opportunity to return to Xuzhou.
Zhou Wang and Shi Jian not only have the strength of the Little Heavenly Status, but also are long-standing generals who have experienced many battles. Of course, in Jiang Feng's eyes, these military generals also have some problems with old-fashioned military generals. However, for such generals, if they are integrated into the Xuzhou military system, they will soon realize their problems and then take the initiative to adapt. Otherwise, Jiang Feng would not mind taking them back.
The others are more from the military generals from the Daliang clan.
Like the descendants of the Yang Shihou clan, Yang Kan is among them. The guy with short eyebrows is Yang Kan's fourth uncle. Yang Houde, the fourth brother of Yang Houzhong, the head of the Yang family, is also a powerful man in heaven. He was once the deputy envoy of the Tianwu Army. He was defeated in the internal strife and was idle. This time he took the initiative to join Xuzhou, hoping to help his nephew and re-list the Yang clan into the prosperous Xuzhou clan.
For example, He Guochang, He Gui's grandson, and the backbone of the He clan, he once served as the deputy envoy of the Crane Control Army. He also retreated to Bianliang after his defeat and was idle. This time he was unwilling to be lonely and reappeared again.
There are also children of the Daliang military general family, such as the Pang family, Zhang family, Li family, and Liu family. Most of them have held important positions in the Daliang army. They either fell down before or escaped when Daliang was destroyed. In short, these 20 people represent a huge group like the Daliang military general family.
There are only two strong people in this group of people at the heavenly level, and there are some people behind them who are observing the situation, such as the fixed-level period, and at least six or seven people in the Taixi period. The rest of the people are all roles in the rest period. For Jiang Feng, as long as he is safe in his loyalty, he can be regarded as a timely help, and he can be immediately sent to the army to take on heavy use.
"You guys already know your intentions. The Xuzhou General Administration has not been established for a long time, but I always treat people with sincerity. The current situation in the world is shaky, the Hu people are rampant, and the chaos of the Five Barbarians invading China is in danger of covering our Middle Earth. Although I am only one of my own, I dare not be descendants. Therefore, I hope that more people with kindness and ambition will share my worries."
Jiang Feng has practiced such literary words for a long time. He is really not good at such deceptive words, so he can only make do with it.
"At present, the General Administration has established five towns. The next step is that Gu has reported to the court that he will form a total of twenty-six armies of Heshuo Town and Huaizuo Town. Gu has no other place here, only a passion and a good position waiting for you. As long as he can make contributions to the country, Gu should report to the court, and the court will also give rewards,..."
A lot of nonsense is nothing more than the future that is bright and bright. Everyone should recognize the situation and get on the bus decisively, otherwise the opportunity will not be lost and will not come again.
Since these people have come to Xuzhou on their own initiative, they naturally have some intentions to join the army and eat food and work hard for generals. It is that simple. If you want to gain a good inheritance for yourself and your family to be a wife and a cute child, of course you have to show your own abilities.
After showing his loyalty, Jiang Feng also smiled and comforted him one by one.
