Chapter 977 Confirmation of Reward (Part 1)
Luoyang, Wenxihou Mansion. After Huangfu Chaobo hung up Zhao Zilong's communication, he immediately sent someone to summon Xu Shu. He wanted to confirm the preparations of the troops, horses, and food.
Soon, Xu Shu hurried in from outside.
"I will pay my respects to the Marquis!"
"Okay, let's get up. It's not a formal occasion, so there's no need to be polite." He pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."
Xu Shuqi sat down next to him and waited for Huangfu Chaobo to ask questions. When Huangfu Chaobo sent someone to greet him, he and several of his subordinates were checking the military merits of the soldiers. When he heard Huangfu Chaobo's greeting, he quickly put down what he was doing and hurried over.
After picking up the tea cup in front of him and taking a sip of tea, Huangfu Chaobo said slowly: "I invite you to come here this time to confirm a few things with you."
"My lord, please speak."
"The first is how is the confirmation of soldiers' military merit going?"
"It has been preliminarily approved. It only needs to be confirmed one last time. The day after tomorrow at the latest, it can be handed over to the Lord for approval and signature."
"Well," Huangfu Chaobo nodded: "This is one, and the other is to confirm, how is the current reorganization and replenishment of the various units of the Eastern Expeditionary Army going?"
Xu Shu thought for a while and replied: "At present, the troops and troops of the Eastern Expedition Army and the various military camps, except for the Xuanwu Camp in Lujiang, the other battalions have been reorganized and supplemented. The commanders of each battalion have sent out the rosters two days ago. The people were sent to Luoyang, and all the soldiers and officers were registered. "
"only..."
"Just what? But it doesn't matter!"
"I just asked Kong Xin, the commander of the Xuanwu Camp, when will the deputy general of the Xuanwu Camp be in place? Also, the establishment of the Lujiang Navy has not yet been determined. The official was originally going to mention it to the lord when he was going to hand over the reward list in two days. Now the lord Since I have already asked, I will tell you all."
As soon as he heard about Lujiang's problem, Huangfu Chaobo was also worried. At present, it was really difficult to arrange the deputy generals of Xuanwu Camp. There were really no people in Yuzhou. However, if you arrange for your senior generals to go there, it will be easily noticed by others, and the newly surrendered generals of Yuan Shu's army are not at ease.
After thinking for a long time, Huangfu Chao said: "After Kong Xin's reply, he said that there are currently no suitable generals who can be transferred to Lujiang, and the Xuanwu Army is temporarily handed over to him. Moreover, there should be no fighting in Lujiang in the past year or two, so he is alone. It should be able to cope with it, and by next year we will be able to dispatch troops to Lujiang openly. "
"There is also the situation of the navy. Let Zhou Tai arrange for the training of the generals first. The ship generals have not been able to do anything for the time being. However, all the shipwrights in the shipyard in Runan can be transferred to the Lujiang River to build ships first, no matter how big or small they are. ." As he spoke, he walked around the room twice, then stopped and said, "As for the organization, let's prepare for the first navy."
"promise!"
"How are the preparations for the food, grass and weapons needed for the army to go on an expedition?"
"Puyang and Chenliu have each prepared food and grass for an army of 100,000 for half a year. As for Chen Guo and Ruyin of Runan, they have also prepared food and grass for an army of 50,000 for half a year. The weapons of the army have also been sent to several cities to reserve some. , It’s just that the quantity has not reached the expected number, but it is similar.”
After listening to Xu Shu's report, Huangfu Chaobo felt relieved. The food, grass and weapons were almost ready as planned. Now he can see how the battle will be fought. After the specific strategy is released, there will definitely be adjustments.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo nodded to Xu Shu and said, "Thank you for your hard work! You go and do your work first. I will come back to you if anything happens."
After hearing this, Xu Shu bowed his hands and left Huangfu Chaobo's study.
"Shi Ah?"
"We will be here!"
"Have everyone here arrived at Luoyang?"
"Reporting to my lord, everyone requested by the lord to participate in the discussion has arrived in Luoyang." After Shi A checked the list in his hand, he reported to Huangfu Chaobo;
After the troops, horses, food, grass and weapons are all ready,
Huangfu Chaobo was basically relieved, and the next step was to discuss the matter in a few days, and the strategy was finalized. As for the subsequent war, it is up to people to plan and to achieve success, Huangfu Chaobo can't think about that much yet.
The military merits of the soldiers have been basically confirmed, but there is still one important issue, the issue of rewards for officials and generals. This is a very big problem for Huangfu Chaobo. It is estimated that it will take him several days to completely solve it. , and these matters cannot be discussed too much with others.
In the next few days, Huangfu Chaobo stayed alone in his study, carefully considering the adjustment of the positions of his subordinate generals, using the records of the soldiers' meritorious service compiled by Xu Shu and others as a reference. After two or three days of working behind closed doors, Huangfu Chaobo finally came up with a rough outline of the matter of general rewards.
First of all, the highest-ranking ones must be the several army commanders, namely Huang Zhong, the commander of the Huben Army, Zhao Yun, the leader of the Longxiang Army, and Xu Rong, the leader of the Qianniu Army. However, because of the addition of the Yuzhou Army, Huang Zhong was transferred to Yuzhou to rebuild an army. Then, it is no longer suitable for Huang Zhong to lead the Tiger Army.
After careful consideration, Huangfu Chaobo decided to rename Zhang He's Shenwu Camp to Hubu Camp, and at the same time continue to form the original Huben Camp, Hubu Camp and Xiongqu Camp into the Huben Army, with Zhang He serving as the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army.
Huang Zhong's Jianwu Camp was renamed Shenwu Camp. Shenwu Camp, Fenwu Camp, Zhenwu Camp and Xuanwu Camp were combined into four battalions to form the Shenwu Army, with Huang Zhong as the commander-in-chief.
In this way, Huangfu Chaobo formed four combat corps in addition to the guards. These four main generals plus Dian Wei of the guards, a total of five people, were appointed to the third-rank positions, namely Huang Zhong, General of the Auxiliary State, Zhao Yun, General of the Champion, Xu Rong, General of the Light Chariot, Zhang He, General of the Tiger Teeth, and Dian Wei, General of the Wuwei. The five of them are the highest-ranking generals in the current sequence of the Eastern Expedition Army except Huangfu Chaobo.
The second level is the commander of each combat battalion. At present, the Eastern Expedition Army has a total of thirteen combat battalions, including four in Sizhou, three in Yuzhou, and two in Qingzhou, plus Lujiang County, Chenliu County, Wei County and Longhua area, a total of thirteen counties and regions. In addition to the four group army commanders, there are nine commanders of combat battalions, plus Gao Shun of the guards, these ten generals were appointed to the fourth-rank official positions.
They are General Gao Shun of the Guard, General Huang Wudie of the Left Army, General Wang Yong of the Cavalry, General Hua Xiong of the Central Army, General Tian Yu of the Guerrilla Army, General Wang Ran of the Jianwei Army, General Huangfu Li of the Right Army, General Kong Xin of the Left Army, General Meng Gang of the Rear Army and General Huang Xu of the Front Army. These ten people are the second-level existence in the Expedition East Army.
