Zhang Liao pondered for a long time before saying, "The attack from the middle is to fight against the big ones, and all wise people choose this way. However, the lord has always said that our army has not experienced bloody battles, and it is difficult for soldiers to condense the army's soul. Fu Duwei's army fought a bloody battle, but it was not enough. Therefore, for the future of the army, it is better to attack from the south."

Dian Wei laughed and said, "What Wen Yuan said is good is just like a martial artist who is easy to practice, but it is difficult to achieve momentum. The soldiers' ranks are easy to practice, but the military spirit is difficult to achieve. Our army was first established, and it was time to try to forge military spirits. If the lord had always had a clever mind, he would be afraid that the military spirit would eventually be difficult to achieve. This would be detrimental to the lord's future career."

Three of the five commanders believed that the attack from the south was the best, and the rest of the army was also inclined toward the south. The other soldiers had no wise men at the first level, so most of them followed the proposals of their respective chief officials.

He Bai thought in his heart that the army was not counted as Donglai soldiers, but also had 26,000 troops. If we included the 8,000 Chenliu militias trained in April, as well as Changshan and Zhongshan's mobile private soldiers, there would be 40,000. This was definitely a big shot at the beginning of the battle for hegemony. It was on par with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and the other side, and compared with Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Liu Bei's three families, it was much stronger.

However, too many troops are not a good thing. Not only is the logistics pressure high, it is difficult to command and allocate. The weak strength will also cause the self-indulgent personnel to blindly expand, and it will also attract joint attacks from other forces. When their own strength is not as strong as Cao Cao in Chibi, they will still act as modest and low-key.

At present, the army has too many troops, and it is not divided into any particularity. It looks strong, but it is actually weak. It should be noted that the army's combat at this time was basically the first few battles with the enemy, and the latter were basically unable to get involved except the archers.

At this time, the secret formations are often used to fight, and the impression of facing casualties is even more tragic than the scattered formations in later generations. If all the first few rows are killed, the corpses and blood in front of them are coming, as long as the latter row is mentally unsatisfied, it will only be a matter of time before the collapse.

According to the description of Fuxing after the Battle of Fugou, the Xiliang Army only opened the way with one hundred heavily armored soldiers, killing 300 soldiers in succession, and almost defeated the left and right wings of the Yi army. The Yi army's counterattack also sent 400 elite soldiers to form a small formation of Yuanyang generals to cut and kill them. After that, the Xiliang soldiers could no longer hold on and were defeated and fled in full.

Fu Xing believed that the Battle of Fugu actually only required two thousand or fewer elite soldiers to wipe out all Li Meng's troops. At that time, there were 4,000 troops in hand, but it almost failed. Therefore, it was better to lead a small number of elite soldiers than to lead a large number of miscellaneous soldiers. Although He Bai could train the soldiers who lined up to kill in the 18th and 9th century, it also took time.

The military spirit of the undefeated strong army that He Bai has been talking about is definitely not something that can be trained by training alone, but only with the spirit of drawing a sword, can it truly take shape after it is removed from the mixed spirit.

Attacking the middle lane is an opportunistic approach, or it may increase the strategy of the main general, but it does not improve the combat power of the entire army much. The bloody battle in the south lane not only greatly improves the command ability of the main general, but also greatly improves the fighting spirit of the entire army. Therefore, although the surprise soldiers are good, they are not the right way.

After thinking about it, He Bai decided to launch a strategy for elite troops that he had thought about for a long time. So he said loudly: "Since everyone has the intention to attack from the south, our army will set the goal of attacking from the south. In order to prevent the Xiliang army from attacking our rear route from the middle route, our army must wait until the Changsha prefect Sun Wentai launched an attack from the middle route, so that our army can march at the same time. During this period of waiting, our army needs to implement the policy of restructuring the elite troops to deal with the coming bloody battle."

"What is the transformation of elite soldiers? It means to select 10,000 people from the 26,000 army as the main soldiers of the A, and then 10,000 people as the auxiliary soldiers of the B, and the remaining 6,000 people with the Donglai soldiers and the Chenliu Minzhuang as the Class C baggage soldiers. From then on, our army's main combat troops will be the A, which is a professional regular soldiers. Each soldier can enjoy an annual salary of 60 stones of grain, and the service life will be regardless of length until the age of forty."

"Whether the army is retired normally or retired due to injury, the Beihai Kingdom needs to arrange a position for him to support his family in his later years. If he dies, I will build a temple of Heroes in Beihai. The spiritual position will be worshipped by me and the people of Beihai in the temple, and the incense will continue to be endless. The descendants will be educated by the government until they are adults, and their parents will be cared for by the government for their elderly care."

All the generals are close to He Bai. After hearing this arrangement, He Bai wanted to include the Arctic Army soldiers in the ranks of private soldiers and no longer care about the court in the future. Just like Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers, he prepared for the future battle for the world. Moreover, his treatment was even better than that of the soldiers of the past dynasties. I believe that he would be supported by the soldiers.

"The B-type soldiers are the compulsory auxiliary soldiers. For the auxiliary combat troops, each soldier can enjoy a one-year subsidy of 24 stones of food, and the service period is three years. The non-commissioned officer system I mentioned before is implemented, and it is implemented among the main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. Among them, if the auxiliary soldiers are unwilling to retire after three years, they can be converted into regular soldiers or auxiliary soldiers or auxiliary soldiers as a supplementary source of soldiers. After the auxiliary soldiers retire, they can be subsidized for 5,000 yuan in retirement funds. The dead will be engraved on the stele of heroes and politicians, allowing the world to worship and pay homage. The treatment of descendants and family members is similar to that of the main soldiers."

"The baggage soldiers are labor-soldiers. In addition to receiving three months of military training, the monthly wage is three stones of grain. The service life depends on the situation and will not exceed two years at a time. Only one of them is injured and killed and is given a pension of five thousand coins and ten thousand coins, and they will not be treated as the main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers."

"This restructuring may result in the transfer of officers to the auxiliary soldiers and the baggage soldiers, but there is no need to worry. In the future, the war may expand and the army will also expand. At that time, I will use my talents and not make you mediocre."

With He Bai's guarantee, the generals naturally had no words to support He Bai's resolution. After the meeting was dispersed, they immediately went down to implement the policy of elite military reform.

After the meeting, all the five Simas of the lower army gathered in the lower army camp and remained silent.

After a long time, Zhao Zhi, a Sima of the Central Camp, said: "Brothers, the current proposal of the lieutenant today is probably for me. Since my lieutenant returned to the lieutenant's subordinates last year, although the lieutenant treats us well, we are all soldiers in the court. Now that the lieutenant is reorganized, my lieutenant will be the Beihai County soldiers of the lieutenant. Do you think, do we agree or oppose?"

Chen Kui, a Sima of the Front Camp, frowned and said, "Although we are soldiers in the court, now that the emperor is young and Dong Zhuo is in power, everyone in the whole country opposes it. We cannot obey Dong Zhuo's orders and help the evildoers. Now our food is all out of the lieutenant, and it is nothing to belong to Beihai. As the saying goes, eating the lieutenant's fortune is a matter of loyalty to the lieutenant. If the lieutenant wants to reorganize the elite soldiers, what's wrong with him?"

Zhao Zhi shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, you don't understand. Our direct troops and horses belonging to the court have nothing to do with the local government. We were originally ordered to go to the Beihai camp and returned to the court after the war. However, now the court is in chaos and confrontation with the local government, so we temporarily follow the lieutenant. Now that the lieutenant has been reorganized, we will become local troops and horses of the Beihai Kingdom and have nothing to do with the court. And we will also respect the lieutenant as the main event. This is a major event, and we must not be careful."

Kong Li, the Sima of the Houchang, pondered: "Since Yuan Benchu ​​summoned the Guandong princes to join forces, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an. The confrontation between the court and the local government has been established. We are afraid that it will have nothing to do with the court in a short period of time. The lieutenant is the chief general of the lower army, so if he wants to reorganize it, he will be reorganized. In the future, the court will be restored, and it will not be too late for us to return to build the court."

Xu Fen, Sima of the left and right battalions, and Chang Gui also agreed repeatedly. Zhao Zhi sighed and said, "I'd better tell me clearly. The current situation is similar to that of Wang Mang in the former Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo acted against the enemy and Yuan Shao was invading the emperor, causing the world to collapse. In the past, Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it. Now that the Han Dynasty also lost its deer, there is no one who belongs to the world. Although we are soldiers in the court, we should consider our future in this time of chaos."

Chang Gui asked hesitantly: "Brother Zhao said that if today is in chaos and the time for rebuilding the new dynasty, we need to pursue a wise ruler, make achievements, and become a hero in the new dynasty?"

Zhao Zhiying said: "Yes, the people you vote for will succeed, so we can naturally be granted a marquis and ministers to shine on the family. However, if you vote for it, the army will be defeated and killed, and will be laughed at by the people of the world. Therefore, we have to be careful."

Xu Fen asked, "I think the captain is a person with great ambitions. His actions are absolutely different from others. He is a kind person, humble person, accepts advice, is smart and knowledgeable, and has the style of Emperor Guangwu. Does Brother Zhao think that the captain cannot accomplish anything?"

Zhao Zhi shook his head and said, "No, the lieutenant acts in a right way and loves the people as much as his son. He can convince the people in a short time. He also respects the virtuous and respects the virtuous and respects virtues, and is a lord of benevolence and righteousness, and he will definitely accomplish things. However, according to my view, there is still one person in the world who also has great ambitions, respects the virtuous and respects the virtuous and respects virtues, and is not as good as the lieutenant. He also acts decisively and deceitful, bold and meticulous, has a thick face and a dark heart, and has a broad mind and a faint elegance of Emperor Gaozu. Therefore, I have always been uneasy and difficult to make a decision."

Chen Kui, Xu Fen, Chang Gui, and Kong Li asked in unison: "Who is this person Brother Zhao said?"

Zhao Zhi responded with a heavy expression: "Cao Cao, the former military captain."

"Cao Cao?!!!!" The four of them nodded in emotion.

Zhao Zhi said, "If there was no Cao Cao, I would naturally advise you to surrender to the lieutenant. However, there is still Cao Cao in the world, so I hesitated a little, not knowing whether it is right or wrong to surrender to the lieutenant."

Chen Kui couldn't help laughing and said, "The choice of two is just a bet on the future. Since Brother Zhao said that the lieutenant can accomplish things, why should we leave the near and look for Cao Cao, who is currently weak?"

Zhao Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because the lieutenant is powerful that our surrender is just the icing on the cake. Cao Cao is weak, but our surrender is a timely help. You should understand which one is more important."

After the people were silent for a while, Kong Li said, "I am not a good person to bet, and I think it's better to choose the powerful and rely on each other."

Xu Fen and Chang Gui nodded and responded: "That's right, that's right, we are used to it under the command of the lieutenant and do not want to change it, so we should submit to it nearby."

Chen Kui frowned and looked at Zhao Zhi with a heavy face, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Zhao wants to bet on Cao Cao?"

Zhao Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "I am only 34 years old, and I may have a chance to take a try. Brother Chen, where are you?"

Chen Kui was silent and said for a while: "The lieutenant is a benevolent lord, and Cao Cao is a hero. I can't tell who is better than the lord and the lord. It's just that the lieutenant treats me very well, and I don't want to betray him for no reason. But Brother Zhao is going here, and if Cao Cao succeeds, our family will hope that Brother Zhao will take care of him in the future. If the lieutenant succeeds, we will take care of Brother Zhao's family."

Zhao Zhi couldn't help but bow and thank him in emotion. The five people knelt down and swore together that no matter who will succeed in the future, if one of the five people survives, they will never abandon people from the other four tribes.

Looking at the four soldiers kneeling in front of him, He Bai's face was gloomy and clear. Zhao Zhi, the Sima of the Central Camp, went to join Cao Cao, but he still brought four hundred elite soldiers from the Central Camp. One and two soldiers were already unable to catch up. Such behavior of scammers made He Bai so angry that he couldn't speak, and he was even more angry at the four soldiers who were covering him.

Just thinking that the five thousand troops in the army who had been independent for a long time finally surrendered to him, He Bai was still quite relieved. Although the beauty was not enough, he should be content. He Bai sighed, "It will rain, and my mother will get married, so he will leave."

So he reorganized the subordinates and other troops, breaking up all the grassroots organizations composed of the village party, relatives and friends. Many other soldiers and officers from all over the country were mixed with them, and they were completely different from each other. They basically achieved the point of being in a state of no solid commander and impermanence.

After several days of reorganization, the total number of auxiliary soldiers of the main soldiers was set to be about 19,500. Dian Wei and Zhou Tai led 2,000 soldiers, Zhang Zhang led 1,000 soldiers as the vanguard of the army; Huang Zhong and Wu Anguo led 2,000 soldiers, Chen Kui, Zong Bao and Liu Zheng led 3,000 soldiers as the left wing of the army; Fu Xing, Che Jing led 2,000 soldiers, Guan Hai, Chu Hu, and Xu Fen led 3,000 soldiers as the right wing of the army; Zhang Liao, Ye Xun, and Song Guo led 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard of the Western Liang Jing Cavalry and Du Lei's private cavalry as the central army; Chunyu Qiong, Chang Gui, and Kong Li led 3,000 auxiliary soldiers as the rear guards.

As for the remaining more than 6,000 troops, the Donglai soldiers, Chenliu's baggage militia and other more than 24,000 people, they were handed over to civil officials such as Sun Qian, Peng Yan, Ren Jun, Xun Qi, Yu Cheng, and Ruan Yu. They were mainly responsible for setting up camps and transporting food, grass and supplies, and were not responsible for the army's conquest.

In order to prevent the army from losing its combat power due to lack of soldiers and generals' lack of knowledge of soldiers, they began to conduct pre-war training for the army, and sent the scholars obtained by Yingchuan as professors to boost morale. Among them, Zhao Yan was the vanguard staff, Du Xi was the staff of the left army, Zhong Yan was the staff of the right army, Chen Qun was the staff of the central army, and Xun Yan was the staff of the rear army.

Because these people are too young and have good intelligence, they know nothing about military affairs and only have a little understanding of government affairs. Therefore, these staff members do not have the right to command military affairs, only have the right to advise and have a certain right to manage logistics materials. After they become familiar with military affairs, it will not be too late to strengthen their rights and responsibilities.
