Chapter 1007: Five Tiger Lieutenant Generals
Besides, now that Liu Zheng is under his command, he has absorbed more soldiers and horses.
There were as many as four or five new legions formed later.
So it's time to distinguish and plan it to be a war zone, which is more convenient to manage.
As for the choice of each person in charge of the war zone, Liu Zheng also discussed with Guo Jia and others during this time.
Jingzhou Theater, the selected people, naturally don't have to think about it.
That must be Huang Zhong, after all, Huang Zhong's status is incomparable in Liu Zhengjun, it can definitely be said to be a transcendent existence, and only Xu Huang can be compared with Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong served as the lieutenant general of the Jingzhou Theater in the west, commanding the three major generals Gan Ning, Liu Chong, and Sun Jian.
At the same time, he was responsible for the defense of soldiers and horses from Hanzhong, Yanzhou, and Gyeonggi.
At this point, Liu Zheng is still relieved, not only for Huang Zhong, but also for the other generals under his command.
In addition to the assistance of these three major generals, Liu Zheng also sent Lu Su, a young strategist, to serve as Huang Zhong's military advisor, in case Huang Zhong encountered a problem, he could find someone to consult.
The duty of the strategist is not only to share some tedious things with the marshal, but also to give some good advice to the marshal, and to assist each other, which will definitely have good results.
In the three places of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou in the north, the selected lieutenant general is naturally Xu Huang.
Most of the enemies faced by the soldiers and horses in the Northern Theater are cavalry, so it is better to let Xu Huang serve as the commander of this legion.
After all, Tai Shici, Zang Ba, Guan Hai and others are not enough for this qualification.
In addition, if in the Northern Theater of Operations, there is also Zhang He, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and others who traveled between Xuzhou and Yangzhou are stationed.
For the defense of the north, Liu Zheng is not worried.
After all, just to deal with the soldiers and horses of the nomads in the north, Liu Zheng had a heavy army, Zang Ba and Guan Hai in Qingzhou had 20,000 or 30,000 people, and Tai Shici had 20,000 people.
There are also Xu Huang's 20,000 people, and Sun Ce's 20,000 people, which are close to 100,000 troops if you count them.
It is enough for Liu Zheng not to be afraid of the soldiers and horses in the north.
The Yangzhou and Jiaozhou regions in the south are actually the least dangerous, after all, this is the place where Liu Zheng has occupied the longest time and has the most sense of belonging to Liu Zheng's rule, and they support Liu Zheng's rule and almost do not need Liu Zheng to send troops and horses to garrison.
Of course, Liu Zheng will still station Wenpin's soldiers and horses in these two places as a defense of the capital, and at the same time, he can support the second echelon of the war in the west and north in a short time.
It's just that the lieutenant general was hand-selected, and Liu Zheng still gave Lu Bu the mascot.
Don't look at Lu Bu under Liu Zheng's command, there are actually not many soldiers and horses, and those who can really be ruled by him are just those trapped camps.
But Lu Bu's status has always been very high by Liu Zheng.
This is mainly because Liu Zheng is very familiar with Lu Bu, and he snubbed Lu Bu, and Liu Zheng is also worried that he will become Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan in history.
For people like Lu Bu, you can't trust them too much, and you can't be too distant.
It is necessary to give him a goal, so that he can be motivated, and he can't make this goal too big, so that Lu Bu can be satisfied.
Anyway, it was just to give Lu Bu a status improvement, which made Lu Bu feel that Liu Zheng was still good to him and praised him very well, which was a treatment that Lu Bu couldn't get elsewhere.
But in order to prevent Lu Bu, Liu Zheng still would not give him the command of a large number of soldiers and horses, and there were still only some soldiers trapped in the camp.
Moreover, in today's trapped camp, although he is subordinate to Lu Bu on the surface, he is actually commanded by Gao Shun, and Liu Zheng is also quite attracted to Gao Shun, although the relationship between Gao Shun and Lu Bu has not been divided, but the care for Gao Shun is not less at all.
When it really came time for Lu Bu to rebel, Gao Shun might not follow Lu Bu blindly.
Moreover, a large part of the soldiers in the camp are students in Liu Zheng's school, as well as the elites selected from various military camps, and they are all loyal to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng didn't believe that they would follow Lu Bu to make an unwise move.
There is no problem with letting Lu Bu be a lieutenant general near the capital.
As for the Funan area, Liu Zheng directly gave this right to Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang worked hard and was also one of the first veterans to follow Liu Zheng, so he had this qualification and ability.
It's just that Zhou Cang was only responsible for the military power and the management of the Funan region, and Liu Zheng still handed it over to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao is also a thorn in Liu Zheng's heart.
Liu Zheng loves his talents, but he knows that Cao Cao is not a person who can really take refuge in him.
Cao Cao was also ambitious.
can be called a hero in troubled times, a person who can rule the world.
Liu Zheng didn't think that he could tame Cao Cao now.
At least for now, the world is still in a situation where the two heroes are competing for hegemony. Liu Zheng was not sure that he could fully trust Cao Cao.
Even if he wants to reuse Cao Cao, it will definitely be after he unifies the world.
In the current situation, he will only put Cao Cao in remote areas to sharpen his character and examine his talents.
In this way, even if Cao Cao has ambitions and ideas, even if he really rebels, he will not be able to move Liu Zheng's bones.
If he rebelled, it was not serious for Liu Zheng.
At the same time, Funan is too backward, and it is also a good choice for Cao Cao to tame these local people.
Give him a few years, maybe he can really make the Funan area reborn and take on a new look.
In addition to Funan, another place is Kyushu Island.
Kyushu Island is actually a more desolate place than Funan.
Although there are many aborigines on this island, the level of civilization of these aborigines is not even comparable to that of Funan.
Liu Zheng is a little disdainful, but as a transit station in the open sea, it is of great strategic significance.
Therefore, Liu Zheng still wants to keep this place for himself as part of his vast empire.
It is impossible for the people who are naturally guarding here to be careless, and after hesitating again and again, he still decided to choose Zhou Tai as the lieutenant general.
After all, although Zu Lang and Jiang Qin are somewhat forceful, they are not calm enough and are easy to be tricked.
It is not suitable to be the commander of one party, but more suitable for the general.
With Zhou Tai as the commander-in-chief, I believe that the war on Kyushu Island should also be better.
That's it, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Zhou Tai.
Five people became the five tiger lieutenant generals under Liu Zheng!
When Liu Zheng issued this order, it naturally aroused their joy.
After all, he was promoted, which is also a recognition of strength.
In addition to canonizing the new Five Tiger Lieutenant Generals, this time Liu Zheng also promoted many new major generals.
