Capítulo 107: Chapter 107: Mobilizing Troops
Chen Xi took the transfer order and went outside the city to prepare for troop deployment. Before he arrived at the barracks, he saw smoke and dust swirling outside, and it soon stopped. Then a cavalryman rode out and stopped in front of Chen Xi. Zang Ba dismounted and gretted Chen Xi, "I have seen the county guard!"
"Okay, Zang Ba doesn't need to be formal. I want to know if you have any hidden spies in Qingzhou." Chen Xi asked straightforwardly without any hesitation.
"Yes!" Zang Ba hesitated for a moment but still answered truthfully.
"Okay. You can choose the manpower yourself, then mix into the Yellow Turbans and wait for my order. I don't believe it. More than one million Yellow Turbans can still know each other." Chen Xi said with a weird smile, "After this, the recruited soldiers will be reorganized by you and become your troops. The condition is that you must do a good job. Are you sure you can do it?"
Zang Ba obviously hesitated at this time. After spending a long time with Hua Xiong, he admired Hua Xiong personally. When Zang Ba encountered Hua Xiong in the past, he thought Hua Xiong was an infantry commander. As a result, he went down the mountain and became Hua Xiong's lieutenant before knowing that Hua Xiong still had three thousand Xiliang Tieqi. Six months ago, Hua Xiong accepted military orders and left. More than three thousand Xiliang Tieqi was actually handed over to Zang Ba. After getting used to the cavalry, Zang Ba felt that he did not want an infantry army.
"Is there a problem?" Chen Xi asked weirdly. Logically speaking, having your own troops is a good thing for generals. How come it doesn't work on Zang Ba?
"Well, I think I want some cavalry." Zang Ba said cautiously. It's not that he wants to swallow Hua Xiong's troops, but he just hopes that his troops also have a little cavalry. It is obvious that Taishan has no extra horses right now. As for the cavalry they already belong to other generals.
"This is not impossible. It is better to have mixed regiments of infantry and cavalry. It will be easier deal with emergencies, and not be restrained because of a single type of unit. I should bring up this matter. When Hua Xiong returns to Taishan, there will be more horses. But when the time comes, you will need to training for cavalry. Infantry on horseback and cavalry are completely two different concepts." Chen Xi thought about it and agreed with Zang Ba's idea. After all, they have not expanded yet, and the resources on hand are still very little.
"Thank you county guard!" Zang Ba clasped his fists in a salute.
"You don't have to thank me. When I talked about the military system with Liu Bei in the past, I told him that single type of unit are easily restrained. The cavalry, infantry, and archers have their own advantages and disadvantages, so I suggested mixing them up at first. So every corps will have cavalry. It's just more or less." Chen Xi shook his head and said that this matter had nothing to do with him. The military system is nothing more than that. "If there is no problem with Zang Ba, go to Qingzhou as soon as possible to contact spies. I will use you when necessary."
"Obey!" Zang Ba replied loudly with a salute.
"Go to Qingzhou quickly." After arranging Zang Ba, Chen Xi drove his carriage to the barracks. Looking at the vast barracks that occupied a wide area, Chen Xi wanted to asked, 'how many trees did you cut!'
Of course that was just a joke. In this era, there are more trees than people, and more wild animals than people. The crocodiles south of the Yangtze River can't be exterminated!
"The comer stopped!" As soon as Chen Xi approached, a soldier walked over and stopped Chen Xi's carriage. But when he saw Chen Xi in the carriage wearing a silk robe with a jade pendant on his waist, he did not directly drive him away, and only ordered Chen Xi not to approach him.
"Yu Jin is training soldiers, right? In that case, let him come out with this thing." Chen Xi stretched out his hand and beckoned someone to send the token up. Chen Xi then gave it to the guardsman without any expression.
These big soldiers may not know the other characters, but they still know the word "Ling" on Ling Jian. The soldier took the Ling Jian with both hands and bowed to Chen Xi, "Sir, please wait a moment. The general will come out soon!" After speaking, he took the token and ran toward the barracks.
Chen Xi stood at the gate of the barracks. Non-compliance in other places can make others uncomfortable at the most but that is a way to die in the military. Even if he does have high status, Chen Xi does not want to leave the impression of a dull boy on the latecomers.
"I have seen the county guard!" With a calm face, Yu Jin went out of the camp and gave a salute to Chen Xi, "I can't give a full courtesy to the county guard in this armor."
"I'm here to mobilize troops." Facing Yu Jin's expressionless face, Chen Xi can only talk about official business. Since the other party belongs to the type that does not easily contact the civil servants, and only does his own things every day, Chen Xi doesn't know him well.
"There are currently 56,000 troops in Taishan barracks. Of which, 12,000 are regular soldiers that are expected to be incorporated into the army, and the remaining 44,000 are Tuntian soldiers who have been rotated from other places. They are now undergoing drills." Yu Jin replied. Clean and neat without the slightest hesitation.
"Select six thousand strong Tuntian soldiers to join the regular army, and kick out the three thousand weakest soldiers from the regular army into the Tuntian system. Assign five thousand infantry to Taishi Ci, and the rest is handed over to you to guard Fenggao. During the period when I go to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits, once an enemy came!" Chen Xi asked, looking up at Yu Jin.
"Killed!" Yu Jin said domineeringly.
"I think you know who the enemy are. The Yellow Turban is not a big problem. Once the new Yanzhou governor appoints a Taishan county guard." Chen Xi sneered twice and made a "cut" gesture, "This is Liu Bei's place. After I leave, guard against the fish that slip through the net in Qingzhou, and your duty is in northwest!"
"Obey!" Yu Jin clasped his fist. After practicing for so long, the soldiers are finally going on the battlefield. It is not Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, nor Hua Xiong that has the most troops in Taishan. It is Yu Jin, who is in charge of training troops in Taishan barracks!
"Just for stability, just hold the border between Taishan and Shanyang." Chen Xi nodded and said. It is very troublesome for Chen Xi to speak with Yu Jin, even if he is alone with him. There are other gloomy people, but there is still a little smile every now and then. Yu Jin's coffin face is completely two different thing. Is it that those who are good at training soldiers have all the old-fashioned habits of life?
After the arrangement was complete, Chen Xi took the seal of Taishan county guard to Lu Su. There were some things he wanted to explain. Liu Bei would personally defend the sidelines of Taishan against Jinan county, and Qi county. After all, Chen Xi is in the frontline. There was Xu Chu as a guard by Liu Bei side, and Liu Bei himself had experienced warfare so it was not difficult to defend.
Chen Xi was worried about Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao would become Yanzhou governor with the strong support of Bao Xin and Chen Gong. Taishan is a part of Yanzhou. Cao Cao as governor had many ways to clean them up, but in the end he would still have to compete with hard power.
Among other things, the current Cao Cao is in a tragic situation. They were not able plant crops last summer. With the help of Xun Yu, they finally got it together for three months and planted the grain for the second year. As a result, before this year April, the Yellow Turban went out of Qingzhou to eat, forcing Cao Cao to fight. The grain he planted last year was hopeless, so he had to borrow grain or grab grain.
Jizhou and Youzhou are fighting. Yuan Shao didn't care about Cao Cao's bad situation. To be precise, Yuan Shao's confidence at this time was not as high as that of the Jizhou family. He was not sure that he could beat Gongsun Zan. By the way, if Gongsun Zan asked him to cede territory and seek peace, Yuan Shao felt that he could accept it.
