Chapter 281 Fighting in the Army
However, the next day, Sun Quan rewarded a house and several women. After Ma Li came out of the confinement room, he felt very moved and knew that Sun Quan did not hate him because of the incident that day. Ma Li jumped up happily.
Ma Li looked at Lu Meng and said, "The king invited me to drink. The wine is always delicious. Although he was detained for a day by the inspector, it is also worth it."
Lu Meng patted Ma Li on the shoulder and said, "Your Majesty has given you a lecture. I heard that the Youth has told you a lot of new things. Although the Youth value you very much, don't think you are the best in the world. Do you know how many famous generals are in our Wu army?"
Ma Li thought for a while and said, "I don't know the specific one of these, but you must be counted as one, General."
"I, I can barely count half of it. Today I will introduce you to you. The first one is our military assistant, General Zhou. He followed the lead to the six counties of Jiangdong, and then the current Hunan County under the command of the king. Chibi defeated Cao's army, broke Nanjun Liu Bei and others. This is because he spent most of his time in charge of military affairs and did not go to the front line in person, so many of the credits were distributed to others."
"Sir Fu is my idol, I know everything about this."
"The second one is General Pang Tong. Although he mainly does some staff work, his strategy is indeed unpredictable. If anyone fights him, he must be energetic, otherwise he will probably be humiliated."
"He is so young, he feels younger than the general."
"Don't interrupt, there is General Lu Su. He is upright in his military service, but there is no flaw. There are Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, etc. Of course, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han are also very powerful in being the three old generals. However, he is old and the lord tells them not to go to the battlefield anymore."
Ma Li suddenly remembered the two of them and said, "Where is Huang Xu and Sun Yi, they are very famous in the martial arts lecture hall."
"They are not qualified yet, and their military achievements and age are not enough. You are the same. Don't be too arrogant. Your current age and achievements are also very poor, but the lord values you as a talent very much."
As Lu Meng said, he stood attentively and said, "Ma Li obeyed the order: I, Wang Jun, appointed Ma Li as the commander of the 26th Army of the Jingxiang Legion, and Zheng Yu as the chief of staff. This order!"
Ma Li was stunned when he heard this, and Lu Meng cursed: "You guy, why don't you accept the order quickly!"
Ma Li immediately saluted and took the military order. Lu Meng said again: "My lord has appointed you, but I have already written a letter to you. Because you are still young, you may not be able to be the commander of this army, so you will be a three-month probation period. If you can manage the 26th Army well within three months, then be the commander of this army. If you don't manage it well, you will get out of here!"
Ma Li reacted now and said, "Please rest assured, the general will definitely live up to the general's high expectations!"
"You have to know that this was appointed directly by the lord. In fact, I don't recommend you to promote it like this. However, the lord said that your contribution is enough and you will not be wronged because of your age. You will be promoted to the commander of the army. The lord has refuted the face of many people, so if you can't do it well, I will naturally deal with you for the lord."
Ma Li was appointed as the commander of the army, which caused a sensation in the Jingxiang Legion. Such young but without any background can take the position of commander, which suddenly aroused the enthusiasm of many people. Everyone knows that as long as you have credit and ability, you will definitely be rewarded, and officers at all levels in the army are even more motivated.
After today, Lu Su, as the chief of staff of the Jingxiang Legion, was also in place, so the establishment ceremony of the army was held. After the ceremony, Lu Meng and Lu Su summoned the three commanders and their chief of staff, and then held a meeting together. Lu Meng said:
"Three commanders, the framework of your army has been built in the past few days. The rest is to train the army well and complete the regularization of the army. We all know that our team was interrupted by the contact with Stone City before, and there were not many staff officers in the army. So, the first thing now is to let all staff officers really play a role. We must make sure that our army is the same as all the troops in our Wu Kingdom, not special."
Sun Yu first expressed his opinion: "Please rest assured, we will do it well." Sun Yu used to be a commander, so he naturally knew about these things. Chen Nian was naturally aware of these things. After following Sun Quan for so long, he knew more than others. Although Ma Li had no experience, he learned his lessons after being beaten by Sun Quan and Lu Meng, and his attitude was very good.
Lu Meng continued: "The second thing is that I have applied to the Military Affairs Office and my Office Wang. We will form a special combat brigade in our Jingxiang Army, which will be directly commanded and arranged by me, and the selection and training will be completed by Commander Chen. So after everyone goes back, we must do relevant publicity work, and then we will start the selection."
After Lu Meng finished talking about these two things, he said to Lu Su: "General Lu, do you have anything to say here?"
Lu Su said: "Legislative Commander, Commander and Chief of Staff, I have a few things to talk to you about. Before coming, I have some communication with my king. My king believes that in addition to our normal training, we also have to conduct some competitions in our training, such as some competitions, and individual competitions, such as the best archery in the whole army, the best infantry battles, the best horse battles, etc. Then we can also conduct a team competition, select the most powerful company, etc., and then announce the rankings of all competitions."
After hearing this, Lu Meng immediately bowed and said, "My king is really wise! This method is very good and can greatly motivate the soldiers' enthusiasm for training, good."
Lu Su continued: "In addition, my king also asked us to hold a sports meeting. My king said that although this sports meeting is not closely related to our military training, it can increase the fun of everyone's training. My king said that our sports meetings must at least include: running, archery, long jump, high jump, martial arts, javelin throwing and other events. Each event can be competed with one, two or three, and then rewards will be given."
Sun Yu said, "Chief of Staff, this sports meeting sounds a bit interesting, but this is similar to the competition of our army, isn't it repeated?" After saying that, he muttered, "What did my cousin think?"
Everyone pretended that they didn't hear this, otherwise what would happen? You answered it but didn't answer it? You knew that he was disrespectful to me, Wang, wouldn't you scold him? But scolding him did not offend my Wang's cousin?
