Chapter 353: The Battle of the Captains

After everyone heard this, except for Zhang Liao and Dian Wei, the rest of them were all happy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Liao was originally a school captain, not Sima, and this competition for school captain had nothing to do with him.

So Zhao Feng only looked at Dian Wei and expressed puzzlement.

Dian Wei found that Zhao Feng looked at him and arched his hand: "Lord." ”

"I've just become the acting Sima, and I'm going to compete for the position of lieutenant, I'm afraid it's not good."

"Huang Sima, Zhou Sima, Zhang Sima, their military merits and qualifications are much older than me."

Zhao Feng stopped: "In terms of qualifications, several of you are all old qualifications, and everyone should be the same." ”

"In terms of military merits, you are indeed less than Zhang Wu, Zhou Cang, and Huang Shao. But that's because you were a military marquis of the Pro-Guard Army before, and you participated in fewer battles. ”

"Besides, this time it's a competition with several other princes."

"It's good to be able to grab it."

"You don't want the temporarily integrated cavalry and other princes to serve as captains!"

After hearing this, Dian Wei arched his hand: "Huh." ”

"Promise to come back as a captain!"

Zhao Feng patted Dian Wei's shoulder and said with a smile: "I have confidence in you!" ”

Dian Wei smirked a few times.

Zhang Liao arched his hand: "Lord! ”

"According to the plan, three people need to be transferred at once to lead the cavalry."

"Then how do we compile our footmen?"

"Even if all the generals are temporarily appointed as acting captains, it is not enough."

Zhao Feng calculated carefully in his heart.

There were more than 10,000 cavalry, led by himself, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Huang Shao.

There were more than 14,500 infantrymen, and more than 13,000 people in addition to the 1,500 cadets under the command of Zhao Tiezhu, Xu Fei, Pei Yuanshao and others.

These more than 13,000 people were led by Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, Zhang Wu, and Tian Feng, even if they were all captains, commanding 2,500 people, and there were 3,000 soldiers, and no one was in charge.

Of course, it is not completely impossible to arrange, after these people are promoted to captains, a large number of Sima positions will be vacated, as long as two more military marquis are promoted to other Sima Ministries, it can also solve the problem.

Or select two people from Zhao Tiezhu, Pei Yuanshao, Xu Fei, Guan Qi and others to take over.

Zhao Feng pondered for a long time, and it was not easy to make a decision for a while: "This matter will be discussed later when Tian Feng returns." ”

"Everyone, go and prepare, maybe there will be a competition for the position of captain in the evening."

"The cavalry must be integrated tomorrow."

Everyone bowed their hands: "Wow." ”

After saying that, they dispersed.

A quarter of an hour later, it was getting dark.

Tian Feng walked back from the princes of the towns.

came to Zhao Feng's side and arched his hand: "Lord." ”

"The rest of the princes are very interested in this and have expressed their support."

"There are many such as Liu Dai, who send three people to participate, and few such as Qiao Mao who only sends one person to participate, which means a little."

"After combining the opinions of all parties, everyone believes that the coalition forces should cross the river first."

"After successfully crossing the river, the competition began."

"Anyway, the number of people who competed was not large, at most in an hour, and they could all be competed, and I agreed on behalf of the lord."

Zhao Feng nodded: "It's the right time." ”

"You go and tell Zhao Yun later, you want all the cavalry to participate in watching the battle."

Tian Feng took a look: "My subordinates will do it." ”

Zhao Feng stopped: "This matter is not in a hurry. ”

"Just now Zhang Liao talked about our current staffing problem."

"I've calculated carefully, even if I promote all of you to acting captains."

"There are also three thousand soldiers, and there is no commander."

"I mean, either select two additional Simas from all the military marquises, or promote two more Simas, and then ask these Simas to compete and decide two other Simas."

"Or select two people from Zhao Tiezhu, Xu Fei, Pei Yuanshao, Guan Qi and others, and serve as Sima of other departments, commanding more than 3,000 additional soldiers."

Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "I understand what the lord means." ”

"Zhao Tiezhu, Pei Yuanshao and others, there will definitely be other arrangements in the future, so I don't want them to go to the battlefield at present."

"That's it, anyway, in a short period of time, these foot soldiers will not participate in the battle."

"From among all the military marquis, select three additional Simas, and each lead a thousand soldiers."

"These three Simas are divided into one department, and they are temporarily organized into the main prince's personal guard infantry department."

"The lord is now a general, commanding three thousand guards infantry and two thousand five hundred guards cavalry, although it is a little more, but there is no problem."

"Besides, it's just three thousand alternate guards."

Zhao Feng thought for a moment: "Okay." ”

"That's it."

"By the way, you go and tell Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Zhang Wu, Huang Shao and others, and ask them to prepare a list of military marquises."

"Pick it out tonight, and tomorrow the whole army will be integrated together."

"Fortunately, most of them are newly recruited soldiers, and reorganizing and training will not have any impact."

Tian Feng waved his head: "Oh! ”

"Feng, let's arrange it."

"Retire!"

With that, he turned around and walked towards the rest of the station.

Time passes slowly.

Not long after dark, the coalition soldiers who were the first to break through had basically withdrawn to the river.

Although there are still soldiers running back, they are no longer large troops, they are just scattered small groups.

The rest of the coalition forces, also under the arrangement of the princes of each town, as long as they finish dinner, will directly cross the river, and then begin to return to their headquarters.

When it was almost time to arrive, except for Zhao Feng's troops, who were still stationed by the river, all the rest of the coalition forces had already withdrawn to the other side of the river.

The ring used in the competition has also been simply built.

All the cavalrymen, also riding their horses, gathered around the ring.

As for the foot soldiers, Tian Feng arranged for them to line up in a phalanx, holding torches, in the outermost form.

This was just in case, Lu Bu led the cavalry to come and attack at night.

With this open formation, even if Lu Bu led his troops, he would not be able to attack at night.

Of course, this is just to scare Dong Zhuojun, if you really want to fight, these more than 10,000 foot soldiers are useless at all.

Everything is ready.

Liu Dai, Yuan Yi, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Zhang Chao, Bao Xin, and others, as discussed, each came with a small number of personal guards.

After greeting each other, they took their seats.

Zhao Feng picked up the megaphone and shouted loudly: "This contest is jointly held by the princes of all towns of the coalition army. ”

"In order to integrate all the cavalry of the coalition army."

"Whoever wins in the end, as long as they take the position of captain, everyone must obey orders."

"Otherwise, it will be dealt with directly by military law."

"The rules of the competition have been circulated before, so I won't explain more."

"The competition for the position of lieutenant has officially begun!"

"The second cavalry department is mainly composed of the cavalry of Liu Gongshan, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Bao Yuncheng, the prime minister of Jibei."

"If you want to compete for the position of captain of this cavalry department, go directly to the stage!"

Zhao Feng's voice fell.

I heard a message from the ring: "Jibei is under the ban, please advise!" ”
