Chen Pingshan's reputation for dancing long sleeves is definitely not in vain, many people only see the invincible side of the Han army after going north, but they ignore the activities of a group of people in the secret, the first large-scale appearance of that group of people is aimed at officials at all levels of Qi State, the Han Army fights on the frontal battlefield, but secretly there are some people who buy and divide Qi officials.

Many people just know that there are a group of spies hidden in the dark under Lu Zhe, and they don't know what department those spies belong to in the Han Kingdom, so they have their own names without names, and the most called is "Shadow".

There used to be some people who have indeed been active in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they belong to the Zongheng School, and the most famous figures are Zhang Yi and Su Qin.

The Zongheng School was famous for its eloquence and shrewdness, and it was not until Zhang Yi and Su Qin showed the power of the knowledge of the Zongheng School that many people asserted that the Zongheng School was a school that caused disaster to the world, and that it could cause harm to the world more than the soldiers.

How did the Zongheng School endanger the world? It turned out to be more damaging to the world than the soldiers? It sounds unreasonable but it's also a real thing, the soldiers have two states: attacking and guarding, but the bachelor is hoping that the world is as chaotic as possible. The more turbulent the world is, the more room there is for the Masters to play, they are a group of people who are built on the chaos, and the stability of the world will not show their talents.

Chen Ping is a person who learns Zongheng, Confucianism, and soldiers, Confucianism is self-cultivation, and soldiers learn to distinguish between strength and weakness and friend and foe, but whether it is Confucianism or soldiers, in his heart, they all serve the knowledge of Zonghengjia.

A bachelor without a good heart is easy to make wrong judgments because of emotions, and a bachelor who does not know how to distinguish between the enemy, me, the strong and the weak will inevitably mislead others and themselves, and the study is not only a science, it is a collection of several good and inferior collectives, and it is not so easy to become a qualified columnist.

There are hundreds of schools under the rule of Lu Zhe, and under his repeated attention, although the territory of his rule is far less than that of the hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is always a way to play the role of a hundred schools.

Yan Pi recruited a lot of people from hundreds of schools. Most of the recruited people are arranged in the right positions, with the temperament of a hundred families to arrange their identity, with what they have learned to apply, many people are indeed because of the appropriate arrangements to achieve results, more people are because of their own stage to shine.

People who are active on various intelligence fronts have made and failed, but Chen Ping is one of the most successful figures, he has always completed his own tasks well, and he is gradually valued by Yan Bi.

Once the head of each department values whose ability he values, the heavier the expectations and tasks he assigns, Chen Ping was just used as an ordinary longitudinal and horizontal soldier at first. But he always used the simplest and shortest time to complete the task, and it only took less than three years to climb to the high position of the left master to sacrifice wine under the continuous accumulation of merits.

Chen Ping was active in Qin in the recent period as a columnist, and he was active among the hundred officials of the Qin State, either knowing the benefits, or inducing them to benefit, or showing them with authority, or forcing threats, and using a series of actions to stir up the chickens and dogs in the Qin court, so that most of the officials under Fusu had turned their backs on them before they reacted. After losing control of most of the region, the situation that Qin Zhongshu had no choice but to be annexed became even worse, considering that resistance had become a luxury. I only hope that Lu Zhe can really keep his word.

Meng Tian noticed Chen Ping's existence, and Chen Ping had been observing Meng Tian.

People who are good at dancing with long sleeves always have a set of means of observing people, and as a qualified longitudinal and horizontal person, they must also know how to find out the character of the target, Chen Ping has studied Meng Tian a lot. Although he is not very sure of knowing Meng Tian, he can also understand that Meng Tian is by no means a person who can coerce and entic.

"General Meng!" Chen Ping's voice is not gloomy, and it can even be said that it sounds extremely pleasant, and it really can't be imagined that a person with such a voice would be a conspirator. He took two steps forward. Bend down and slowly stretch out your arms, your outstretched arms slightly upward, and your palms and fingers bent at ninety degrees. With his left palm outside his right palm and his thumbs raised high, he saluted Meng Tian with very traditional Chinese etiquette, and then lifted his salute posture and took out a text from his wide left sleeve: "Ping is ordered to present this object." ”

Meng Tian had to retract his thoughts from a series of battles about the imminent outbreak of the war, and he looked at Chen Ping, who was saluting again, with blazing eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "This day is earlier than expected. ”

The text is written by Lu Zhe himself, and the template is different from the punctuation marks of the current era, otherwise it is in line with the current solicitation format, and it also includes some content of Fusu.

Meng Tian read the content of the text very carefully, and carefully put away the text after reading it, and then saluted Chen Parallel. He did not bend down when he saluted, but the movements and gestures on his arms were no different from Chen Ping's, which was a traditional Chinese half-salute: "Please return to the king, Tian Ying is down." ”

Sima Xin stood silently and watched the interaction between the two, waiting for Meng Tian to agree before smiling.

Although this war in Northern Xinjiang developed in a predetermined direction, the scale was too large in some respects, and it was not surprising for Lu Zhe to recruit Meng Tian at this point in time, and he did not mean anything to despise Meng Tian, but showed great importance.

In the text, Fusu has already relieved Meng Tian of a series of official positions in Qin, so Meng Tian is not a minister of Qin and a courtier of Fusu, and Meng Tian's acceptance of Lu Zhe's solicitation by himself is already a kind of recruitment.

"The empire was still built." At this moment, not only Meng Tian was thinking, but Sima Xin also had the same thoughts, but the mood of the two was not the same.

It was only until Meng Tian accepted the recruitment that Sima Xin walked to the main position in the account.

Sima Xin took a box from the desk and turned to Meng Tian: "General Meng, the appointment of the king." ”

Meng Tian took the box, and after opening it, there was a seal ribbon and a tiger talisman in addition to an appointment.

Lu Zhe's appointment to Meng Tian was the general of Zhengxi, and the seal ribbon was naturally the seal of the general of Zhengxi, and the tiger talisman was naturally the certificate of the commander's military uniform.

Meng Tian was not pretentious, and kept his hands in a salute posture: "Colleagues! ”

"General Zhengxi!" Sima Xin and Chen Ping, including some people in the tent, all congratulated or congratulated in unison.

After what should be done is done, Chen Parallel salute and then retreated, after all, he is the Zuo Shi Sacrificial Wine of the Ministry of Supervision, and staying for a long time is not a matter at all.

"General Meng." Sima Xin invited Meng Tian to come to the sand table again, first showing an expression of wanting to speak and then stopping, and after waiting for a while, he finally said: "There is a word that needs to be said to the general." ”

Meng Tian probably knew what Sima Xin was going to say, and said, "Hussar General, please speak." ”

"Although the king appointed the general as the general of Zhengxi, there is no record of the general's merits in the general's mansion......" Sima Xin reminded so much, and that was for the sake of being a fellow Qin person, and he didn't want Meng Tian to make mistakes.

"Thank you, General Hussar." How could Meng Tian not know.

In any case, Lu Zhe has always been known for being fair, open, and impartial in governance, and Meng Tian can be appointed as the general of the expedition to the west, but Meng Tian must also be able to achieve good results. Otherwise, after this battle, not to mention the rank of general of Zhengxi, whether you can stay in the military or not will have to be said separately.

Sima Xin saw that Meng Tian understood, so he didn't say anything more, and turned the topic back to military affairs.

The Grassland Dispatch Army is a corps to which the Hussar General belongs, and Meng Tian became the general of Zhengxi not by being arranged in the Grassland Dispatch Army sequence, but by being specially divided into an independent ~ independent corps.

Since the corps of the Zhengxi Army does not belong to the Grassland Dispatch Army, then the corps belonging to the General Zhengxi must be formed, and Lu Zhe assigned the Fifth Cavalry Corps to the Mengtian Command, except for the Fifth Cavalry Corps. The 13th Cavalry Regiment was also transferred to Meng Tian's command, and the Qin Army under Meng Tian's original command would also be temporarily incorporated into the 21st and 22nd Mixed Corps of the Imperial Defense Force.

With the 5th and 13th Cavalry Corps and the 21st and 22nd Mixed Legions, there are four legions under the General Expedition Sequence, which is considered a field corps according to the new system of the Empire. The total strength of the corps is 200,000, 100,000 are cavalry, 100,000 are infantry and equipment troops, and there are nearly 100,000 auxiliary troops under the general sequence of Zhengxi.

Judging from the number, Lu Zhe really wanted to return the two legions that were reorganized from the Qin army to Fusu after the end of this war. After all, the corps of the Reichswehr currently has only twenty integrated corps, and there is no intention of increasing the number of corps in the short term.

"The legions under the sequence of the four generals are three according to the structure," Sima Xin looked at Meng Tian: "This war is over." If there is no change, the Fifth Cavalry Regiment will be transferred from the Expeditionary General sequence. ”

Meng Tian was actually quite unexpected, he originally thought that Lu Zhe would not arrange the Qin army under his command, but he didn't expect that not only the original Qin army was not transferred, but even the Fifth Cavalry Legion, which has always been known for its elite, would also be arranged in the Expedition to the West sequence, and even the Thirteenth Cavalry Legion adapted from the forbidden army would also be under his command.

"In addition, the twenty-first and twenty-second mixed legions will also be transferred away after the war, and these two legions will be handed over to King Qin again." Sima Xin said and looked at Meng Tian with deep meaning.

In fact, Lu Zhe's appointment of Meng Tian as the general of the expedition to the west also has such and such factors, the almost 120,000 Qin troops under the command of Meng Tian are reorganized on the spot, and there is no need to deploy legions from other places, so it is not a preferential treatment, let alone a violation of the original merit rules, after all, the two newly formed legions are "free" troops.

In addition, as a general of the expedition to the west, Meng Tian's legion is destined to be readjusted after the war, so no matter what happens after the war, Meng Tian is destined to become a "bare-bones commander", unlike other generals who have won with real merits have always had a direct legion before changing their positions.

"Tian understands." Meng Tian not only understood, but also breathed a sigh of relief in some ways, he didn't need any preferential treatment to break the rules, and the re-belonging of the two legions with imperial equipment to Fusu was also something he was happy to see, and the guilt in his heart for Fusu was also relieved because Lu Zhe made such an arrangement.

Of course, Sima Xin knew Meng Tian's talent, and he also knew very well that Meng Tian was a competitor in his military career, but he was still happy that Meng Tian understood a series of arrangements.

To tell the truth, the empire under the rule of Lu Zhe is destined to be different from any previous dynasty, the military system of the empire uses very clear laws to stipulate that a general cannot be in a position for a long time without changing, and all positions will change within the specified time, so whether it is a civilian official or a military general, it is actually more important to be able to accumulate meritorious service to become a nobleman, only to become a nobleman, the title is valued because of the accumulation of meritorious service.

In the nascent empire, the aristocracy is the foundation of all glory and wealth, and anyone who does not see this clearly is doomed to be out of touch with the times, regardless of the position that is to accumulate merit more conveniently or more advantageously.

"Then this place will be handed over to General Zhengxi." Sima Xin had already finished what he should have said, and summoned the lieutenant generals and some acting officers of the Fifth, Thirteenth, Twenty-first, and Twenty-second Army Corps, and after the explanation, he embarked on a new destination.

Sima Xin was accompanied by the 14th Cavalry Corps and the 15th Mixed Corps, accompanied by 70,000 auxiliaries and more than 300,000 second-line troops. The people, the second-line troops and the people are naturally used to escort grain and straw and equipment, and will not participate in the battle.

After the Fifth Cavalry Corps and the Thirteenth Cavalry Corps were transferred from the steppe dispatch army, the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth mixed corps were newly reinforced, so together with the First Cavalry Corps and the second, tenth, and eleventh cavalry corps, Sima Xin's direct troops were seven corps.

The new Grassland Dispatch Army sequence has only one cavalry corps, and the remaining six are infantry-based legions, which can be imagined as a response to Ding Ling, Hujie and other steppe Hu people going south. Judging from the allocation of troops, Sima Xin will also respond with a defensive counterattack strategy next.

"So that means that we are dealing with the Touman Department at the source of the Yellow River, and we also have to cooperate with the hussar general to participate in the battle against the Hu people roaring south from the depths of the grassland?" Meng Tian asked about the long history under the shogunate of the general Zhengbei, and this long history was Zhang Liang.

The empire maintained the habit of the pre-Qin era in ancient times, and every general could open a tooth and build a government, which was the so-called opening of a government office and setting up a banner to handle the military and political affairs he managed. Officials who have opened a government and established a government can freely appoint and dismiss subordinate officials, and even have the right to formulate and implement some laws and policies. The difference is that under the imperial system, the official position of the shogunate is recognized by the imperial center, and not only can he receive a salary from the empire, but also the military merits he has obtained are also recognized, and of course everyone under the shogunate system is not considered the shogun's personal staff or subordinates.

"Then let's discuss in detail how to annihilate the Touman Division." (To be continued......)
