Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 17 Lieutenant General (added for the leader Li Renjun)
"You—the military academy that shot to death several of Xue Zhiqin's personal soldiers in a row, what's its name?" Outside the camp, Hao Zhenwei, who was riding a tall horse, saw Shao Shude standing by the road with a bow and pointed his whip. .

"Professional Shao Shude, the ten generals of Xicheng are all in the team, and he is now serving as the guard of Qiu Shijun." Shao Shude was happy when he heard the words, and immediately replied.Who doesn't like being promoted in a place as rigid as the military?In the battle, Hao Zhenwei said that he would be promoted to lieutenant general. If he could fulfill his promise, it would be great.

"Would you like to come under the command of this general? Guarantee your future as a ten general." Hao Zhenwei asked.

Shao Shude was shocked when he heard the words, but quickly replied: "Sun Duwei is the benefactor of the official department, and I don't dare to abandon him."

"Hmph! I don't know how to lift up!" Hao Zhenwei was so angry that the whip was about to fall, but he seemed to remember Shao's amazing performance on the battlefield, and the whip didn't go down after all.

"I promised to promote you to be a lieutenant, but I won't break my promise. Sunba in Xicheng has been beaten. What future will you have with him? I don't know what it is!" After that, Hao Zhenwei took his personal soldiers and left .In the battle of Zhonglingshui, Hao Zhenwei was in a very good mood, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with a team leader who refused to recruit him. There are still a lot of things to do in a while, especially the rewards from the sergeants. , it's really a headache.

"Leading the team, it's not a bad thing to follow Hao Dujiang. I've been to Sun Duwei's side, and dozens of brothers have died and a lot of injuries. It's hard to say whether they can take care of them." After Hao Zhenwei left, Ren Ren Yuji appeared out of nowhere and whispered.

"So many casualties?" Shao Shude was a little surprised.

Hao Zhenwei's Yanyue formation used the central army to attract the enemy's main force to attack, and the two right flanks had thousands of troops attacking the enemy's flank.Generally speaking, the number of people injured on the battlefield will be twice as many as those who died in battle, and the number of people who died of serious injuries and recovered from their injuries is basically [-]%.I don't know how many of them are old brothers and how many are newly recruited sergeants. I hope there are more of the latter.

"The five tribes in the north have not been beaten, but the Shatuo people are still very fierce. If it weren't for the poor equipment, the casualties of the two would have been even greater. Remember Li Renjun, the tenth general in the middle city, there are more casualties. I'm crying and grimacing, clamoring everywhere to make up some prisoners to join the army." Ren Yuji said.

"Dare to use it even for prisoners?" Shao Shude was really shocked.Although the sergeants in the late Tang Dynasty were mothers if they had milk, and there was no pressure to change the family, but these people had just had a fight with the Tiande army, and the hatred had not disappeared. They recruited them into the army. Can the army leaders sleep at night?However, he also recalled Yang Xingmi's Heiyundu and Li Cunxu's Silver Spear in the Five Dynasties. Didn't they all surrender?I really don't know what to say about this.

"Why don't you dare to use it?" Ren Yuji smiled, and suddenly said: "Jiang Qiu is also recruiting people. Before the battle, the formation of Guan's soldiers was scattered and slow in action. Qiu Shijun guessed that if there were any When the enemy cavalry rushes in, the group is afraid that they will disperse in a hurry, so they are extremely dissatisfied. This will be righteous for the surrendered soldiers by the river, and I guess they want to come out with a whole group and act as guards."

"The Guan team's performance is so unbearable, and another team is sent down. What did Qiu Shijun think? Is it not enough chaos?" Shao Shude was a little puzzled.Get a team of unsettled soldiers to come over and cause trouble for yourself?I'm sorry, he really can't understand this operation, is it because he is too confident in his eloquence?Or do you think those soldiers who surrendered were loyal to the monarch and patriotic?
"I'm afraid of death, I think there aren't enough people around me." Ren Yuji was also not optimistic, but he quickly remembered something again, so he said, "Leader, ah—the lieutenant, in the future these three teams will be all Your capital, no matter how much you don't want to see it, you have to win over it. These days, there are not many brothers around, and they dare not go out. "

"Don't talk nonsense! Qiu Shijun hasn't spoken yet, there are still variables in this matter. Guan Kairun is Qiu Shijun's prime servant, how can he ignore his old feelings?" Shao Shude reprimanded softly.

No wonder he's still pretending at this time.Although the Guan team showed their crotches, the Chang'an sergeants among them were brought over from the capital by Qiu Weidao. In terms of affection and trust, they were not comparable to Shao Shude.

However, Shao Shude also has an advantage, that is, his subordinates are strict in order, skilled in combat skills, and brave to fight. Today, Hao Zhenwei himself said that he would be promoted as a lieutenant general. There is no joke in the army. Even if Qiu Weidao does not consider his own life, he has to take care of him General's face, so he has a greater chance of winning.

But he was still a little uneasy.There is a huge gap between the lieutenant general and the team leader. The team leader must be someone else's subordinate, working under the eyes of the superior all day long, but the lieutenant general is not necessarily.

According to the military system of the late Tang Dynasty, ten generals were in charge of a capital.For example, when Emperor Xizong was fortunate to Shu, the eunuchs recruited troops in the land of Shu, and there were a thousand people in each, which was a normal establishment.

Of course, there are also abnormal ones, such as Tiande Army and Zhenwu Army, which are seriously understaffed, each with only a few hundred people.

The typical example of serious overstaffing is Heiyundu, which has a total of 5000 people, and the Silver Gun Festival also has thousands of people.During the rebellion of the Zhaoyi Army during the reign of Wu Zong, one of Liu Zhen's ten generals led 2000 troops to guard a certain place. At that time, it was considered a large number, usually around a thousand.

As a lieutenant general or ten generals, if it is not the Ya Army (Ya Army), but the Zhizhou Town Army, then there is a chance to guard a certain place. This is a small warlord.This kind of person usually has the title of the military envoy, sometimes guarding a certain pass, which is boring, and sometimes guarding a certain county, which is more oily.

More than [-]% of the military envoys to suppress troops and horses need at least ten generals to serve, but it is not impossible for the deputy generals, if he has a lot of troops and horses.Therefore, Shao Shude is still very eager to become a lieutenant. In this ghost world, of course, the higher the official, the more soldiers, and the larger the territory, the safer it is.

He even imagined that if Qiu Weidao was really unreasonable and refused to let him be the lieutenant general, would he instigate Lao Lu and the others to make trouble?However, he quickly rejected this idea. Today he can instigate others to make trouble, but in the future, will others also make trouble in front of him?Once this bad example starts, it's not very good, alas, it's so fucking nerve-wracking, why hasn't Qiu Weidao come back?

******
Qiu Weidao came back soon, with a large group of people behind Wu Yangyang.

Shao Shude looked intently, a group of people from Guan Kairun were fully armed, but their morale was not high, and it seemed that they had been trained by the supervising army.The other team, without weapons, stood there in several lines, looking uneasy and suspicious, it seemed that they were the prisoners chosen by Qiu Shijun.

"Lieutenant General Shao, come here soon, this will be yours from now on." Qiu Weidao skillfully turned from his horse and said with a smile.

Shao Shude was shocked when he heard the words, and he felt his heart beat faster and his blood boiled.

"Thank you for the cultivation!" He said sincerely, kneeling on one knee.

"Get up." Qiu Weidao accepted the salute calmly, and then said: "Everyone is supplementing the battle damage, but basically they are selected from the auxiliary soldiers. The envoy was late, and there were some crooked melons and jujubes left, so only I can choose the strong from the captives. Some of them are Yun and Shuohan, and some were conscripted by Li Keyong between Xin and Dai. They are influenced by the righteousness of this envoy, and they are willing to change their evil ways and return to the righteousness and serve the court. Now, Deputy General Shao leads it alone, is there any problem?"

"The last commander must abide by his duty and protect the emperor comprehensively." Shao Shude can finally call himself "the last commander" happily, but to be honest, this is still a bit beyond the norm.Soldiers and horse envoys can be called the last generals in front of the military commander and the supervisor, but are the ten generals and deputy generals really qualified?I'm afraid it still doesn't work.

However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the ceremony was broken, and the various rules were not so strict. Some people used names indiscriminately in order to get a good word, so that it gradually became popular.Hao Zhenwei also asked Shao Shude to work under him just now, but is he really qualified to set up the flag?Certainly not, the Tiande army is the only one who can barely do it.

In fact, the late Tang Dynasty was not bad, but in the Five Dynasties, the rules broke down even more.Hao Zhenwei was the envoy of soldiers and horses known to all of Yaqian, who commanded several soldiers and horses. Others respectfully called him "Du Jiang" or "Du Tou".But can you imagine that by the time of the Five Dynasties, the lord of the capital also claimed to be the capital, wouldn't it be ridiculous?

Therefore, it is not impossible for Shao Shude to call himself a late general with a cheeky face.At least, Qiu Weidao didn't object, and the others took it for granted, but Guan Kairun's face was indeed a little dark.

"Lieutenant General Shao is so brave, how much will this envoy rely on in the future?" Qiu Weidao smiled, seeing that Shi En's fire was almost over, he said: "Close the head of the team, and follow me back to the camp. Lieutenant General Shao, this team New pawn, take care of yourself."

"The last will obey!"

Qiu Weidao and his party quickly left.Song Le quietly fell behind, and when passing by Shao Shude's side, he said in a low voice: "General, you should not control the sky above, not control the ground below, and not control people in the middle. Kuan should not be provoked and angry, and Qing should not be able to make money. It's hard to be mad, blind, deaf, and lead people with the three paradoxes. Remember, remember!"

After saying that, he floated away again, and Shao Shude could only clench his fists in thanks.

Shao Shude could not understand these words, but he still understood the general meaning.As a general, you should indeed have comprehensive knowledge, be able to predict the weather, be able to observe the terrain, and dare to refuse very unreasonable orders.Don't get angry at every turn, don't be too greedy for money, be frivolous, short-sighted, and don't listen to other people's opinions. These bad habits must be avoided.

Combined with the battle that just ended, Xue Zhiqin relied on courage to advance lightly, delusionally eating thousands of days of German troops in one go, overestimating himself and underestimating others, this is "madness".If there were people around at the time who persuaded him and Xue didn't listen, then he would have to add "deafness".Song Le reminded himself that it probably meant this.
