Chapter 631: Descendants of Famous Generals
After exiting the alliance channel, Huangfu Chaobo told Pang Tong that Lao Du and the others wanted to come to Jiuyuan, mainly to ask him about the arrangement of the eastern front's troop deployment. Pang Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Since they are unwilling to defend the eastern front, transfer a school of soldiers from Xingyang City to Kaifeng, and send someone to tell Zhang Miao that we have stationed a school of soldiers in Kaifeng. If there is anything, you can directly contact the leading lieutenant Guo Daxian, and then he will report to Luoyang, which can save more time."
Huangfu Chaobo listened and thought that although Guo Daxian's ability was average, he led a school of soldiers to defend Kaifeng, which had the same effect as Mu Shun leading the troops to defend Dangyin, which was to better support the allies.
As for the battle in Xi'anyang, neither of them paid much attention to it. What they were considering now was the selection of the county magistrate and the leading lieutenant. The two discussed for a long time, but could not come up with a result, so they simply decided to occupy the county first and relocate the people here to temporarily settle them, because there were not many confidants who could be entrusted with important tasks under the jurisdiction of Sizhou, and now they need to be arranged in this bitter and cold place outside the Great Wall, which is even more difficult to arrange. So the two simply prepared to capture the county first and then make arrangements, but all these things must be done after Meng Ping and others are ready to relocate.
After the group stayed in Wuliangsuhai for three or four days, the two old men Meng Ping and Wang Ding came to Huangfu Chaobo to report the progress. This time, the two old men brought the data of all the personnel and materials they had counted, and not only that, but there were also six young generals following them.
Huangfu Chaobo only took a general look at the data handed over by Meng Ping and did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he said to Meng Ping: "Meng, you just need to give a rough idea of these things. Also, who are they..."
Hearing what Huangfu Chaobo said, Meng Ping gave a general idea of the situation, and then pointed to the generals behind him and said: "These are the more outstanding young people in the clan. Bring them to the general. If there is anything, you can arrange for them to do it."
As he said, he pointed to the people behind him one by one. "These two are the brothers Meng Gang and Meng Yi, the descendants of my Meng family. These two are Wang Ran and Wang Yong, the descendants of Wang family. This one is Su Zhi, the descendant of General Su Jiao, and this one is She Gan, the descendant of General She Jian. These six people are the most outstanding people in our clan. At present, the affairs of the clan are basically handed over to them. We two old men rarely show up."
Huangfu Chaobo was very interested after listening, and sat up straight and looked at them. Seeing this, the six people hurriedly stepped forward, clasped their fists and saluted in unison, saying: "The generals and others greet the lord!"
"Everyone, please stand up!" As he said this, Huangfu Chaobo looked at the attributes of the six people with interest, and found that just like their ancestors, the Meng brothers basically had no shortcomings, while the Wang brothers were slightly better at command, and were slightly weaker in other aspects. Su Zhi was slightly better in command and intelligence, and was relatively weak in other aspects. Only She Gan was a fierce general, with a force value of over 80, but his intelligence and politics were pitifully low.
As expected, each had its own characteristics.
The six people were all generals who had just reached the heavenly level. Although they were not very powerful, they were far stronger than the inn generals trained by Huangfu Chaobo himself.
After looking at the attributes of several people, Huangfu Chaobo instantly thought of the arrangements for the people left behind in Bingzhou. After telling Pang Tong the attributes of several people, Pang Tong nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the two of them thought of the same thing.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but want to laugh up to the sky for a while. He didn't expect that this dungeon mission also has a hidden benefit here. Six heavenly generals, almost comparable to Huang Xu and Tian Yu, can be said to have made a fortune this time. There are also two famous general cards, which can also transfer two generals, probably about the same as these six people.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Mr. Meng, Lord Wang, it happens that everyone is here, and I have something to talk to you about. Last time, Mr. Meng said that some people were unwilling to return to the Central Plains. These days, I will consider it again and again and decide to occupy a county town in Jiuyuan to accommodate these people. So this county town needs someone to stay. Regarding the candidates for the stay, do the two elders have any suggestions? And in terms of the soldiers and horses left, do the two elders have any suggestions?"
The two old men couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard it, and said: "The little old man and others thank the general for everyone." The six people beside him were also happy, but for Huangfu Chaobo's question, everyone did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Meng Ping spoke up and said, "Regarding the selection of people to stay behind, we will all follow the general's arrangement. As for the arrangement of troops and horses, we can listen to the ideas of the younger generation." Then, he turned to the six people and said, "Whatever you think, you can tell the general everything." The two old men were very experienced. They knew that Huangfu Chaobo wanted to test them. They were afraid that their answers would not satisfy Huangfu Chaobo, so they laid the groundwork before they spoke.
Huangfu Chaobo nodded slightly and smiled without saying anything.
Several people looked at each other, and finally everyone stopped their eyes on Meng Gang, the oldest. After thinking for a moment, Meng Gang stepped forward and said, "General, according to the scale of the cities in the north of the Qin Dynasty, large cities can generally only accommodate 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and civilians, small cities only have 10,000 to 20,000 people, and even smaller town forts have thousands of people."
"If we talk about the scale of a big city, at least 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers are needed. Because it is located in the north, the proportion of cavalry needs to be higher than that in the hinterland of the Central Plains. According to the calculation of 4,000 soldiers, it is best to have half infantry and half cavalry. Of course, these are just my decisions based on the situation of the border areas of our Great Qin in the past. As for the current situation in the north, I don't know yet, so I can't provide you with the correct strategy. Please forgive me."
Huangfu Chaobo and Pang Tong listened to Meng Gang talking there, and they still had something to say, but they had not experienced war, and they didn't know if he was a person who talked about war on paper. They thought he would have a detailed suggestion, but they didn't expect that he would say that he didn't know the current situation in the north, so he couldn't provide an accurate strategy. The two looked at each other and thought that this person was not a boastful person.
As Meng Gang spoke, he carefully considered the expressions of Huangfu Chaobo and Pang Tong, but to his disappointment, neither of them changed much, and they still looked indifferent. This made him feel like fifteen buckets of water hanging in his heart, up and down, fearing that his words would not satisfy Huangfu Chaobo. Not only him, but the others also looked at Huangfu Chaobo nervously, waiting for him to speak.
