··················

It's noon.

Inside the main tent of the Dragon Camp.

After returning from the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Li convened all the generals above the commander level in the battalion to discuss the matter.

In the Longxiang battalion, five people are a team, and there is a team commander; Two armies are one, and the shews are long; Five tithes are a small team, with a principal and deputy squad leader; The two squads are one team, with one captain and one deputy team leader, and the team rate is the centurion; The two teams are a tun, with a principal and deputy tun chief.

Two tun is a song, two songs are one, and the part comes from this.

A division of about 800 to 1,000 people, plus a scout team and a personal army team, plus logistics baggage and miscellaneous labor, is a complete battalion of soldiers and horses, about 1,500 to 2,000 people.

However, there were more or fewer soldiers and horses in a battalion, and there was no rated number.

In fact, in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court had a strong control over soldiers and horses, and the number requirements were extremely strict, and each battalion of soldiers and horses had a clear fixed quota.

However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court openly allowed local officials and powerful people to recruit troops on their own, so the number of soldiers and horses in a battalion was chaotic, ranging from 3,000 or 5,000 to 500 or 800 at most, all of which could be called a battalion of soldiers and horses.

The Longxiang battalion is a full battalion of soldiers and horses with a full 3,000 iron horsemen. This does not include 300 scouts, 200 personal guards, more than 300 logistics miscellaneous soldiers, and some generals' servants.

All the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion were combined, more than 4,000 people, and all of them were war horses.

The position of the Longxiang battalion in Li Wei's 30,000-strong army is very important, and it is regarded as the most elite and most combat-effective iron cavalry.

In the past, the Tiger Prison was a battle, and the Longxiang Battalion became famous all over the world.

In the whole battalion, one-third of the middle and low-level generals above the leadership level are people surnamed Li, that is, the side servants and generals of the Li family.

The head of the family, Li Dao, although he is only a lieutenant in name, is very valued by Dong Zhuo, and he is a right-hand man and a strong general.

His status in Dong Zhuo's army was not much worse than that of Hu Benzhonglang's general Lu Bu.

It's just that the five major generals in Dong Zhuo's army are all Dong Zhuo's relatives or generals.

Lu Bu is his righteous son, Niu Fu is his son-in-law, Dong Yue is his cousin, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong are the first diners to defect to Dong Zhuo's mansion, and they are now Dong Zhuo's generals.

In the nearly 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, nepotism has been a common phenomenon.

This is a fact recognized by people all over the world, and it is also an undeniable truth.

The same is true of all dynasties that date back to the Han Dynasty.

This is an old rule that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the world has long been familiar with it, and it is not surprising.

As a colonel in the army who grew up in the era of peace, Li Li has long been perfected in his ability to read and recognize people.

Otherwise, no matter how strong your own ability is, you can only be a big soldier for the rest of your life; The tricks are not bright, they don't know how to read people, and if they want to be promoted, it's simply delusional.

Moments later, the tent was overcrowded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, the Longxiang Camp will be taken over by Ben Sima, and you must have known about this before.

With the consent of his uncle, Li Fu was promoted to Zuo Du Lieutenant, and Li Xian was the commander of the pro-guard team, that is, the captain of the pro-guard.

The 1st Commander was promoted to the rank of Right Commander, the 2nd and 3rd Commanders progressed in turn, and the 1000 Lieutenant General was promoted to the 3rd Commander. Generals at all levels, from the commander down, were promoted in turn.

Do you have any objections? ”

After dozens of middle and low-level generals arrived, Li Li sat on the main seat and directly announced the transfer of generals at all levels.

"No, we will obey the general's orders!"

Many low-level generals in the big tent gathered in the hall and bowed down to receive the order.

The Longxiang battalion, nominally a soldier under Dong Zhuo, is actually the private soldier of the Li family.

The whole camp was originally Li Dao's subordinate, but now it has been transferred to the name of Li Li, the eldest son of the Li family, so it is not abrupt, but a matter of course.

However, Li Li knew that the Long Xiang Battalion was still obeying the orders of his uncle Li Dao at the moment, and he still needed to do a lot of things if he wanted to completely control the whole camp.

At the very least, it is necessary to promote a group of subordinate generals who are loyal to them, and then give away some wavering generals as gifts, give both grace and might, strictly enforce military discipline, and vigorously rectify them.

Only in this way can the Longxiang Camp be transformed into a complete management of its own lineage, and it will only obey its orders.

"Good! Since everyone has no objections, then it is enough to go down and follow the order.

I have just received a military order, and tomorrow morning our battalion will go out with the army to Zhu Jun and walk with the Chinese army. Everyone, go down and prepare, war horses, ordnance, and necessary food and grass must be prepared, and do not delay the military aircraft! ”

"No, I'll take the order!" The generals responded in unison.

··················

The next day, the sky was slightly dawning.

A cold wind blows across the earth, bringing a chill of coldness.

On the side of the road, the morning dew hanging from the green leaves swayed in the breeze and dripped silently into the soil, moistening the roots and stems of the plants.

Outside the south gate of Zhongmu County.

The city gate was wide open, and thousands of Xiliang warriors galloped out.

Subsequently, more than 10,000 foot soldiers followed the war horses out of the city with neat steps, Zuihou was dozens of baggage carriages slowly drove out, and 3,000 foot soldiers surrounded the carriage and left the city one after another.

Previously, the entire Henan Yin was almost in the hands of the rebels under Zhu Jun.

A month ago, after being defeated several times by Li Wei's army, Zhu Jun's army immediately retreated to the vicinity of Zhongmu County.

After the last battle, Zhu Jun led the remnants to retreat to Xinzheng County, a hundred miles to the south, to prepare troops and horses in order to fight again.

I have to admit that the famous general Zhu Jun is full of tenacity, has been defeated repeatedly, and his will to fight is very tenacious.

If you change to someone else to lead the army, and you will be defeated so much, I am afraid that you will never dare to fight again, and it is very likely that you will lead the remnants to slip away early.

In addition, it is worth noting that although the number of Zhu Junjun's army has been decreasing, its combat effectiveness has increased instead of decreasing.

In the last war, the 20,000-strong army led by him had begun to show the rudiments of elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was relatively strong. Presumably, before this victory, he was already an elite division.

Training soldiers in battle, survival of the fittest, and this is how the elite of a hundred battles is trained.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Jun, a famous general of a generation, is by no means in vain, and has his own uniqueness in the use and training of soldiers.

"Second brother, why don't you come to see me these days? Anyway, we are also brothers who play together from a young age to a big one, I am seriously injured and want to die, why don't you ignore it? ”

In the rear army, Li Li and his younger brother Li Xian found Fan Yong, the infantry captain who was escorting the baggage, and questioned.

Li Li, Fan Yong and Li Xian are good brothers who have played since childhood.

A few years ago, when the three of them were still wearing open crotch pants, they learned to be adults and became brothers decently. Li Li is one month older than Fan Yong and is the eldest brother, Fan Yong is the second, and Li Xian is the youngest.

Fan Yong is the darkest, tallest, and largest black bear of the three brothers.

On the surface, he has a tiger's back and a rough appearance, like a reckless man with thick branches and big leaves; In fact, he was thick and fine, brave and extraordinary, and together with Li Zheng, he was responsible for taking care of the baggage and ordnance of the whole army, and he was very important.

"Big brother, I... I'm too busy to go up to see you. Anyway, I know that I am wrong, I want to be beaten and punished, and I will be dealt with by my eldest brother! ”

When Fan Yong first saw Li Li and Li Xian waiting for him, his eyes were full of joy. At this time, his face was red, his eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to look into Li Li's eyes.

Li Xian followed his eldest brother to the rear army. He thought that the eldest brother was going to find Fan Yong to catch up, but he didn't expect the eldest brother to ask the guilt, so he hurriedly explained the reason for Fan Yong.

"Big brother, you blame the second brother! When you were unconscious that day, my second brother and I stayed in front of your sickbed for two days and two nights, and we didn't even eat a bite of food. Later, the second brother saw that your injuries were getting worse and worse, and he couldn't bear to look at you...

So he led his troops out of the city to avenge you without authorization, and challenged under Xinzheng City for two days in a row, but Zhu Jun closed the door without fighting. Later, his uncle sent Uncle Guo Yan to forcibly bring the second brother back, and ordered him not to take half a step out of the camp.

Therefore, after the eldest brother woke up, he never saw the second brother.

Big brother, it's really not the second brother's fault, he is also revengeful, he violated military rules, was restricted from freedom, and couldn't help himself! ”

As Li Xian spoke, Fan Yong turned his head sideways and quietly rubbed his eyes.

Then he turned around and said, "Big brother, during the last war, if I had followed my eldest brother, I would definitely not let my eldest brother suffer such a catastrophe and almost die." It's all my fault, and I didn't protect myself well, so that when my eldest brother was alone in danger, I couldn't fight alongside you.

Afterwards, I raised troops to avenge you, but I returned in vain. Big brother, little brother is incompetent, what kind of face do you have to see you? ”

After listening to the words of Li Xian and Fan Yong, Li Li was inexplicably moved, unconsciously, the corners of his eyes were moist, pursing his lips, he patted Fan Yong's broad and thick shoulders heavily, and was speechless for a while.
