Chapter 3 The Heroes of the Generals

At this time, the requisition of the Northern Army of the Chu army, the Southern Army of Zhongyi Town, and the Eastern Army of Jiaowei Town among the five armies had completed the recruitment. The military system of the Chu army was different from the central government. The commanders of each army were brave generals, Zhongyi General, Xiongwei General, Jiaowei General, and Longhu General. Each army led 30,000 troops. Five to ten members of each army were supervising generals, and each general was in charge of two to three side generals. The side general was in charge of the Five Ya Gate General, each Ya Gate General was in charge of the Five Pavilion Force, each Pavilion Force was in charge of the Five Shi Wei, and each Shi Wei commanded twenty soldiers.

This idea allows the troops to supervise the future to dispatch troops. A general leads troops between 5,000 and 7,500 people. This idea was not proposed by Liu Xie, but by Huangfu Song, who had been fighting for many years. Shi Wei was trained as a small group, supervised by Yamen, so that the training work was sent to the lower level. Supervisors and generals could focus their energy on tactical adjustments, and the responsibility of the commander of the army was more mainly strategic thinking.

This reform provided a very broad space for the performance of Confucian generals such as Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, and provided a greater space for generals like Zhang Liao and Wei Yan, who were familiar with military books, and brought certain constraints to generals such as Lu Bu and Gao Shun who were good at training and charging into battle. However, due to the higher overall coordination, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. In fact, this also forced Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and others to start learning military tactics, which brought them to a very big level. At the same time, it also provided an opportunity for the emergence of two famous Confucian generals of the Chu army in the later period.

With the support of financial resources, the three armies of Yongwu Town, the Northern Army, Zhongyi Town, and the Eastern Army of Jiaowei Town have begun to take shape, with excellent armor and stomach, and all the war horses are good horses in Liangzhou.

The Yongwu Zhen Northern Army was mainly composed of Huangfu Song's 30,000 Yongzhou soldiers. Now recruiting 20,000 northern refugees to supplement, with cavalry as the main force, light infantry as the auxiliary force, and heavy infantry as the second. There were only less than 1,000 naval troops, and were responsible for receiving materials from Xiangyang northward in the upper reaches of Xinye Xiangjiang. The Yongwu Zhen Northern Army was based in Nanyang and Xinye counties, and Wancheng and Xinye City as the main garrison. The left can attack Hanzhong, the right can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the top can directly rush to the capital.

The southern army of Zhongyi Town mainly recruited the soldiers recruited in the northern part of Bingzhou and the local Jing and Jiaozhou states, absorbed some Jingzhou troops, and focused on development with emphasis on infantry, sailors and cavalry, followed by infantry, and then stationed in Changsha. The southern army of Zhongyi Town mainly responsibilities for the southern expedition to Jiaozhou and pacify the Shanyue rebellion.

The Eastern Army of Qiuwei Town was mainly composed of the original Jingzhou naval army stationed in Jiangxia and Jiangling. The strong men and refugees recruited from the north were supplemented and were responsible for the defense of the Jiangxia and Jiangling counties. The entire town east army navigators accounted for 80%, supplemented by light infantry and cavalry.

The three armies had sufficient troops and food, but the training and equipment except for the Yongwu Town North Army were both problems.

Under the leadership of Zheng Hun and other famous craftsmen in the capital, the Xiangyang Military Prefecture processed a large number of armored armors that were recommended by Ding Yuan and those specially designed for flying cavalry (based on leather armor, inlaid with black iron scales where necessary).

Pu Yuan specializes in weapon manufacturing, adopting a ten-calcination quenching process combining the hundred-calcination process and the cold quenching process. He brought more than 3,000 craftsmen to create the Nanyang heavy sword designed with the Daqin heavy sword presented by Ding Yuan, the sabre of the charge cavalry and various weapons used by other arms.

Bai Yi was the most outstanding crossbow manufacturing craftsman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He led people to make various types of crossbows, including Xinye strong bows specially used for flying cavalry, Jingzhou strong bows specially used for infantry (to put it bluntly, the Jingzhou version of the English longbow, basically customized at 15 meters high) giant strong crossbows used for defending the city and Xiangyang crossbows used for light infantry (Bai Yi designed his own strong crossbow, but unfortunately he could not be valued at the time. He thought that the continuous crossbow looked good, but the procedure for installing crossbows each time was too complicated. It was better to use fast-mounted strong crossbows, and they could shoot continuously before the enemy rushed over, and the manufacturing requirements were simple, including the manufacturing requirements of crossbows.

According to Liu Xie's intention, Zhang Jun focused on experimenting with water trucks that could improve irrigation capacity.

Due to the lack of refugees, water conservancy construction, road paving and city construction have been severely hindered and have not been fully carried out. The corresponding rice promotion work has not been carried out due to the influence of water conservancy construction work.

Under the promotion of Lu Zhi, the first competition for generals in Jingzhou - the heroes - began. I hope to discover more talents through this competition and have dealt with the war between the two states of conquest and Yi.

The ending of this competition was basically Liu Xie's expectation, but it was very shocked to the officials and generals of Jingzhou. Lu Bu, who thought that he would be invincible in the world, was once again defeated by Huang Zhong. The two fought for 300 rounds and failed to decide the winner. Lu Bu was both defeated in the cavalry, stairs and water battles.

If riding and shooting is a shameful defeat, step shooting is a slight defeat, and water battle is a miserable defeat.

After teaching a lesson, Lu Bu was no longer very sad, and admired Huang Zhong very much. He often pulled Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to sit together to watch other generals compete, and laughed with everyone and said, "If I die in battle, I will die in the water!"

Gan Ning undoubtedly defeated Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, even Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, and Ma was slightly defeated by Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun in the battle. He was in the same position as Zhang Liao, and Fei Sho was far inferior to four people, but Bu Sho was better than Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

What disappointed Liu Xie was Wei Yan. This guy he was optimistic about was not as good as Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Xiao defeated Zhang Liao and Chen Dao; the water battle was defeated by Huang Zhong, barely defeated Cai Mao by virtue of his bravery; Fei Shooting and Step Shooting were not as good as Gan Ning, Wen Pin, narrowly defeated Chen Dao.

As the commander of the Zhennan Army, Gao Shun was defeated the most miserable. He failed to enter the top five in horse battle, flying shooting, step shooting, and water battles, and was quite embarrassed.

Among the young generals, Zhao Yun and Chen Dao were the leader, Huo Jun and Guo Ci were the second; among the local generals of Jingzhou, Huang Zhongwenpin, Wei Yan was the best, Huo Jun was the next, and the rest were almost defeated except for the good water battles; among the dozens of newly won generals, Gan Ning was the leader, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were the next, and the rest were all considered average.

When Lu Zhi arrived at Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Sima Cheng, who invited the outside world, jointly led the military arts academy examination. The result surprised everyone. Zhang Liao was the first. Lu Zhi evaluated that the marching was steady and steady. If you occasionally use strange moves, you will definitely attack the enemy's heart and lungs, and you will be suitable for defense and offense, and you will be able to be the best.

Wei Yan's second, Huangfu Song's evaluation is: he is good at attacking and defending, and has many strange strategies. If he attacks, he will use many strange moves. The code is based on the right and supplements with strange things. However, he cannot observe the overall situation. The strange moves and dangerous moves are all in one thought.

In the third place in Wenpin, Sima Zi's evaluation is: he has obtained the essence of "Six Strategies", and is known as the spirit of "Sunzi", and the strange and righteousness complement each other, seeking attack in a steady manner, the superiors of defending the city, the generals of the navy, and the lieutenant generals of siege cities and land.

Lu Bu won the sixth place, and after Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, he only commented on it in eight words: he has small strategies and has many wisdom to adapt to the situation. He should be in charge of cavalry to attack and kill the enemy, and was not good at siegeing cities and defending the ground.

Gao Shun got the eighth place, and after Lu Bu and Gan Ning, his evaluation was given by Lu Zhi: he did not fear difficulties and dangers, and he was a general. However, he would forget to defend himself when attacking, and he would forget to attack when guarding. Fortunately, he would be decisive and resolute, and he would not lose his losses. If he wins, he would destroy countless enemies.
