I’m The King Chapter 316: : heart-to-heart
Gaoyuan's Zhengdong General's Mansion is located in Fufeng City. In fact, it is the original Fufeng County Government. The original sign was removed, a new sign was put up, and new wine was put in old bottles. However, the entire team of Wu Kai's county government had to be moved. After going out, now in the front yard, there are a series of yamen such as the military justice department and the logistics department in General Zhengdong's mansion, and Gao Yuan monopolizes the entire backyard.
The first thing that Zhengdong General's Mansion opened and established was to reorganize the army. When Gao Yuan went to Yuyang, he took away a thousand Fufeng soldiers, but when he came back, there were only less than four hundred left. People, in this way, there are only less than 2,000 local soldiers left in Fufeng, while the number of foreign soldiers brought by Meng Chong and Xu Yuan is as many as 4,000. If they merge, it is likely to cause trouble.
After careful consideration, Gao Yuan set up the governors of the left, middle and right armies. With Meng Chong, Sun Xiao, and Zheng Xiaoyang as the commanders of the three armies, it can also take care of the interests of all aspects and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent reorganization of the army. Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang are both old subordinates, needless to say, so after instructing the two of them about matters related to the whole army, Gao Yuan left Meng Chong behind and sent the other two away.
Watching Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang leave, Meng Chong couldn't help becoming a little nervous. During the days in Fufeng, he and Xu Yuan stayed in the Niulanlan Camp. Knowing the military appearance of the Fufeng Army, when he was in Yuyang, he thought that Gao Yuan's military training was already very cruel, but after seeing the strict military discipline and cruel training of the Niulan Mountain Camp, he realized that when he was in Yuyang, Gao Yuan is just a small test.
The corresponding thing is the powerful combat power of Fufeng soldiers. In Yuyang, after several months of Gao Yuan's training, Meng Chong originally thought that the army under his command could be called a strong army, but now he understands. His subordinates are still far from a strong army.
Sitting upright in front of Gao Yuan, with his hands on his knees, his body couldn't help but feel a little tight. He couldn't help being nervous. He used to be just a small county captain. Of course, the former Gao Yuan was also a county captain, but this county captain is not the other county captain. The gap between the two is obvious. What's more, Gao Yuan is now one of the Eight Great Generals of Dayan. And he, from a humble county lieutenant, became a general in command of thousands of soldiers under the general's mansion. It is not an exaggeration to say that he reached the sky in one step.
Seeing that Meng Chong was a little nervous, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, got up and picked up the kettle, and refilled the water glass in front of Meng Chong, "Meng Chong, we are all brothers, so take it easy."
"Yes, General, I'm not nervous!" Meng Chong licked his lips. But he didn't realize that his voice was trembling a little.
Gao Yuan sat down and looked at each other, "Meng Chong, this time the army will be reorganized. Do you have any ideas? If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up. Let's talk behind closed doors. We know everything and say everything. , don’t you need to have any scruples?”
"General, I don't have any ideas, everything will be done according to the general's wishes!" Meng Chong said hurriedly.
"Huh?" Gao Yuan looked at him in surprise, "You really don't have any ideas? You know, according to this time's army plan, your subordinates, as well as Xu Yuan's subordinates, have all been dispersed. Yes, and I’m not going to lie to you, you have seen the capabilities of the Fufeng soldiers. Using the Dabi method to determine the officers of each unit, team, and post, it is very likely that most of the grassroots officers will be occupied by them, and your subordinates The original officers, except those who are extremely outstanding, I am afraid that the rest will go to the army."
"General, I understand what you mean!" Meng Chong calmed down. After all, he was a person who had read the book. After Gao Yuan opened his words, he also understood what the other party meant, "An army that can fight, Of course, those who are capable go up and those who are inferior go down. Soldiers raging one by one, generals raging in a nest. I understood this when I was in Yuyang. We used to be a bunch of mobs, but since you led the army, General Gao, we have The sheep in the eyes of others have become hungry wolves. And the low-level officers in the army are the backbone of an army. Of course, they must be capable. So, I have no objection, and I think Xu Yuan has no objection either. of."
"So, you and Xu Yuan both agree to the whole army this time!" Gao Yuan could see that Meng Chong's words came from his heart.
"Yes!" Meng Chong nodded emphatically, "General, I'm not going to hide it from you. By following you, I believe that the future of the General is limitless. Following you, I can have a bright future. In the original place, Xu Yuan was an outcast and unpopular character, and he finally met such a wise master as you, so of course he followed you wholeheartedly."
"Where are the people below?" Gao Yuan tapped on the table lightly, "Especially those who are going to be pushed down?"
"Don't worry, everything will be settled between me and Xu Yuanyuan." Meng Chong said without hesitation: "The general gave them a chance. They are not as skilled as others, so we can't blame others. Besides, we conquered the Eastern Army Facing Donghu, the war will not stop, the general will definitely attack Donghu, if you want to be promoted, you have to exchange for military achievements."
"That's good. If you say that, I'm relieved!" Gao Yuan nodded happily, "You have two armies under your command, one led by Xu Yuan and one led by Yan Haibo. Yan Haibo is a veteran of Fufeng. He is very familiar with policy, military discipline, tactics, etc. If you encounter problems, you may wish to discuss with him more, conquer the East Mansion, and divide into three armies. I don't want you to be compared to others."
Meng Chong hurriedly stood up, "Don't worry, general, if I am defeated by General Sun and General Zheng, I would rather not be the commander of the left army, and let those who can take over."
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "I have a total of three armies under my command. There will always be a first place and a third place. If anyone loses, they will be picked. It won't take long. I'm afraid I won't have any generals to lead the army. Meng Meng Chong, among the left, middle and right armies, if anyone can stand alone in the future, I am most optimistic about you, your future is probably much greater than Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang."
Meng Chong couldn't help being shocked, "General, this..."
"You are literate and have read a lot. Although a famous general does not have to have read a book, there are many such famous generals in history, but your starting point is higher than theirs, so the possibility of success Sex is much bigger than them. Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang mostly fight based on combat experience and instinct, but you are different. I have been observing you these days. You are good at summarizing and learning After several months of getting along, I am amazed by your progress." Gao Yuan laughed. "That's why I said, if anyone under my command can be the first to stand alone in the future, it will definitely be you, so I hope you will not disappoint my hope."
Listen to Gao Yuan's words. Meng Chong couldn't help being very excited. Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang are Gao Yuan's direct descendants. He never expected that, as a latecomer, he would be valued so much by Gao Yuan.
"Thank you General for your attention, I will definitely live up to the General's expectations." Meng Chong said loudly.
"Sit down, sit down!" Gao Yuan pressed his hands down, "Meng Chong. I hope that in the future, you will truly regard yourself as a member of the Eastern Conquest Army, instead of always thinking that you are a latecomer. One will win and one will lose All are lost. I believe you understand this."
"Yes, General, I understand!" Meng Chong was a little ashamed, he had been in Fufeng for several months. He was still observing the army as a bystander.
"Tell me, what do you think are our deficiencies? What do you think we have to improve? I think you know that besides a bunch of old and rough generals, I have Two subordinates who are making a lot of money, Cao Tiancheng, our army commander, are good at making money, and he is an abacus in managing money. As for the old Wu Wu county magistrate, one is better than the other when doing business, but now I want to work with him. They discuss a few things, but most of them just ask three questions. Although you are a general, you are also a scholar. I believe you will have your own opinions. Don't hide them."
Meng Chong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and after sorting out his thoughts, "General, I really have some ideas."
"Say, talk!" Gao Yuan said happily. His biggest headache now is that he can't find a person to talk to when something happens. If there is any opinion from a strategic position, it is a dream.
"General, General Zhengdong is one of the eight great generals of Dayan. To build a team of generals, in addition to recruiting generals who are good at fighting, you must also have a group of literati staff. After you make a decision, someone It is not only these that can pick up the gaps and fill the gaps, and can improve the corresponding rules and regulations, but you also need long-sleeved and good at diplomacy and communication talents, etc., and these are basically invisible in the current Zhengdong Mansion.”
Gao Yuan said dejectedly: "You are right. There are too few scholars. This is a major shortcoming of mine. But in a hurry, where do you want me to find these talents? Fufeng is from Bian County, and I have studied There are only a handful of them, not to mention those who are strategic and sociable. This can only be done slowly."
"As long as the general can win successively on the battlefield, I believe there will always be people who are underappreciated to vote." Meng Chong smiled. "Secondly, our Eastern Army mainly consists of infantry, but there are too few cavalry. General, our future enemies will be Donghu people. It is impossible to defeat the opponent with infantry alone. Cavalry come and go like the wind. , the maneuverability is too strong, if we fight against the Donghu people, we will be born at a disadvantage, even if we have an absolute advantage in strength, we may not be able to find the enemy's main force for a decisive battle, so we need a strong cavalry."
"I have noticed this a long time ago. Fufeng cavalry has always been the focus of my training, but training a strong cavalry is not something that happens overnight."
"General, there are cavalry available for use right now, why don't you know how to use them?" Meng Chong said.
"You mean the Helan Department?" Gao Yuan laughed.
"That's right, the Helan tribe!" Meng Chong said: "Although the Helan tribe has only a few hundred riders now, there are countless Huns who have been beaten homeless on the grassland. Why not recruit them?"
"Form a cavalry army composed entirely of Huns?" Gao Yuan frowned.
"General ~IndoMTL.com~ Are you worried about how to control them?"
Gao Yuan nodded, "If I recruit all the Hun cavalry, I can only hand it over to He Lanxiong, but He Lanxiong is ambitious, and I am a little worried that the tail will not be lost."
"General, the Xiongnu lost too badly this time, and many big tribes were beaten to the ground. Among them, a family with a higher background and higher status than He Lanxiong was recruited to check and balance with He Lanxiong. Firstly, secondly, keep adding sand to it, and slowly infiltrate more cavalry from the Conquering Eastern Army. I believe the general can do these things well. Maybe we don’t need their loyalty, but as long as Use enough benefits to trap them."
Gao Yuan laughed, "You have given me a problem. This is indeed the way to let Zhengdong Army have a strong cavalry in the shortest time, but it is not a matter of checks and balances. Simple things."
"I believe the general will do a good job!" Meng Chong said with certainty.
"You think highly of me." Gao Yuan smiled, "However, Bai Yucheng is a useful talent. It may be better to let him join in this matter." (To be continued!
