Chapter 497 Review the Army
In the blink of an eye, nine of the sixteen swords were divided.
Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Fa Zheng were four civil servants.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun got four treasure swords, and Lin Xiao got a sword.
In this way, there are only four swords and three swords.
The civil and military forces in the hall looked at the remaining seven weapons with blank eyes, Wenchen was okay, most of them knew that they had no share, if there were, Zhuge Liang and the four should be assigned to them later.
The generals were thinking in their hearts whether they could get the sword or not, and who would be their strong competitor.
However, there are only seven weapons left, and there are dozens of generals in the hall, large and small, which can be said to be more monks and less porridge.
Liu Chan pondered and said: "Deng Ai, the governor of Yongzhou, and Zhang Ren, the governor of Hanzhong, made meritorious contributions to the Northern Expedition, and gave Deng Ai a sword and Zhang Ren a sword. ”
The soldier took two more swords from the armory rack, so that there were only five left.
For example, Liu Bei also cast a sword a few years ago, a total of eight, and gave them to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan and two other sons.
The people who rewarded them were all the closest to each other, so they had no objections to Liu Chan's reward.
Only Wei Yan has some pimples in his heart, Zhuge Liang and the other four ministers will definitely not be able to compete, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao He can't compete.
But Zhang Ren, Deng Ai, and Lin Xiao are the three, but he can be compared, in terms of official position, he is still General Zuo, a lot higher than Deng Ai.
But although Wei Yan complained, he just waited to endure it, who called him not Liu Chan's descendant, and his relationship with Liu Chan was average.
Liu Chan said to a group of civil and military officials: "Now that the spring flowers are blooming, since ancient times, the emperor has to hold a spring hunt to show martial arts, and my Han rivers and mountains are also shot down from the horse, and this spring hunt is indispensable."
Therefore, I decided that after five days, I would hold a spring hunt in the Shooting Mountain, and at the same time review the soldiers and horses, and the generals could also test bows and arrows, and I would give the remaining five swords to those who performed well in the spring hunt.
Generals, everyone has a chance to fight for the sword. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When the generals heard this, they were overjoyed.
In terms of identity, many generals can't get swords, but in terms of ability, many generals have a chance. Moreover, in the eyes of these generals, the swords they won with their true skills were more precious than those obtained because of their close relationship with Liu Chan.
Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "As for reviewing the army, each army can prepare 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the generals will go back and prepare well, and retreat." ”
Now there are more than 300,000 soldiers and horses in the Han Dynasty, 50,000 in Jingzhou, Hanzhong, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou, and 50,000 garrisons in Shangyong, Jiange, and Jiamengguan.
There are also 20,000 Zhang Fei's garrison in Langzhong, which is a mobile force, which can defend Padang Brazil, and if Yong'an is lost, the Sword Pavilion will be lost, and these 20,000 soldiers and horses can be reinforced quickly.
In this way, there are 70,000 soldiers and horses on the Yizhou side, and there are more than 10,000 in Nanzhong, and as for the distribution in other important passes, the city is the county soldiers.
Among these 70,000 people, there were 20,000 forbidden troops, mainly defending the imperial city, and Zhao Yun was in charge.
Of the other 50,000 soldiers and horses, 40,000 were stationed in the four directions of Chengdu, which were also known as the Eastern Army, the Northern Army, the Southern Army, and the Western Army.
Among them, the forbidden army was commanded by Zhao Yun, the eastern army was commanded by Lin Xiao, the general of Zhengdong, the western army was commanded by the right general Chen Zhi, the northern army was commanded by the left general Wei Yan, and the southern army was commanded by the general Ling Bao of Zhengnan.
Of course, these generals are only qualified to train soldiers, and the daily life of soldiers is under their control, but they are not their private army.
In addition, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses that are special troops, that is, the Wudang Flying Army, which is a descendant formed by Liu Chan himself after subduing the barbarians. The generals promoted by Liu Chan were Lin Yuan, Ma Zhong, Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, E Huan, Liu Yin and others in charge.
Therefore, Liu Chan inspected the soldiers and horses, that is, selected soldiers from the six armies of the forbidden army, the four armies of the southeast, the northwest, and the Wudang Fei Army for review.
Time came five days later.
Shoot the mountain.
On top of the original school grounds, a high platform was built. The high platform was surrounded by a wide shooting range, and during this time, Zhao Yun sent people to rest, and the ground became flatter and the range was broader.
Liu Chan was at the top of the high platform, he sat due north, on both sides were the civil and military ministers of the imperial court, and on the wide steps, which extended to the ground, sat some ordinary courtiers.
Liu Chan said to a group of civil and military personnel: "Today's spring hunting is divided into three steps, the first is to review the soldiers and horses, the second is to hunt, and the third is to compete. Later in the hunt and competition, all the generals can participate, and if the results are excellent, I will give him a sword.
Of course, generals who have already received sword generals can also participate, but there is no sword reward. ”
Liu Chan said, pointing to the five swords hanging on the weapon rack beside him.
"No!" A group of generals said in unison.
"Let's check the parade horses first!" Liu Chan looked at the generals and said, "Which of you will come first?" ”
The representative of the Wudang Flying Army was Lin Yuan, Zhao Yun and the other five generals glanced at each other, and finally Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Let the end of the future throw bricks and lead the jade!" ”
Liu Chan nodded: "Okay, let's review the forbidden army first." ”
"No!" Zhao Yun gave up his hand and took down a big flag planted next to the school grounds, which was a dragon flag and the military flag of the forbidden army.
Zhao Yun waved the dragon flag, and the three thousand forbidden troops who were waiting in front of him saw this, maintained their formation, and came to the high platform under the school field in a uniform manner.
Liu Chan looked at the military array below and asked Zhuge Liang, "Da Sima, what do you think of the forbidden army?" ”
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled: "Mighty and majestic, it is the elite division of my Han Dynasty." ”
The forbidden army is the elite of the elite, and Zhao Yun selected the three thousand people who came to be reviewed, and they are the elite of one in a hundred, these three thousand armor soldiers, dressed in Xuanjia, holding a machete in their left hand, holding a shield in their right hand, carrying a bow and hanging arrows on their waists.
This is a heavily armored infantry army, and it is also good at bows and arrows, which is not much better than the trapped camp commanded by Gao Shun under Lu Bu back then.
In fact, the soldiers and horses here in Chengdu are not only trained by the generals, Zhuge Liang is also involved, Zhuge Liang is the great Sima, in charge of the military, and the training of various armies is actually led by Zhuge Liang.
Zhao Yun waved the dragon flag to replace it with a small flag, waving the small flag to command.
The 3,000 soldiers and horses below suddenly dispersed, just like the broadcast gymnastics in later generations, and a certain safety distance was maintained between people.
The soldier was armed with a machete, and under the command of Zhao Yun, he started a set of combat skills in the army.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The soldiers let out a wolf-like roar, the machete was a ring-headed knife, waved out, hunting, these three thousand soldiers and horses, the momentum that erupted was enough to compare with 10,000 ordinary soldiers.
On that high platform, there were even many Wen Ruo's officials who were so frightened by this momentum that their faces turned pale.
