Chapter Forty-Five Military Expansion Arrangements
"General Wu Zhong, what's your view on this?"
As for the attitude of the two generals, Zhang Xu was very satisfied. This shows that in their hearts, they themselves are indeed the most important. After all, withdrawing troops is a big blow to the army's combat effectiveness. The two generals agreed without hesitation, which shows that in their creed, Zhang Xu is indeed the priority!
"Master Xianshi, our family has no objections and can specially protect Master Xianshi. This is my honor!"
After Wu Zhong bowed his head, he stood up and said that although this way, the three battalions under his nominal control became one battalion, but he himself also knew his own abilities, and what he controlled was still the Imperial Guard Battalion. This was the best choice for him. Of course, he would not refuse!
"Hmm, General Wu Zhong will be in charge of the Imperial Guard from now on. His troops will be handed over to General Guan Hai. I hope General Guan Hai can take his responsibilities seriously and manage the army for me!"
Zhang Xu nodded in satisfaction, but in reality, he had actually placed the two battalions under the command of Guan Hai.
"Don't worry, Master Xianshi, I am willing to die ten thousand times!"
Guan Hai hastily knelt down and said.
"En, good, next is to explain, after autumn harvest expand the great army!"
Zhang Xu glanced at Wu Qing, seeing that he had no dissatisfaction, but was secretly nodding in agreement. Although he now only had three generals under his command, the fact that these three generals could get along harmoniously and prioritize his interests was enough. This was also the superiority of his incense faith system, which could automatically gather the power of the people!
And this is also his way of fighting against the capital of the world in this era. He does not have the influence of Yuan Shao's four generations of three dukes, nor does he have Cao Cao's astonishingly powerful and domineering aura, as well as his own extremely strong military talent. What he has is his own innate and open-minded faith, which breaks through the constraints of practitioners, can intervene in secular power, establish his own institution of unity of politics and religion, and work hard to add bricks and tiles to his own faith.
And this incense faith, the cow fork's place, is that it can gather the crowd, not only can gather the cloud gas of many people, slowly improve his fate, but also let the crowd more united and cooperate, this is the incense faith, a brand new fusion of incense immortal way and faith god way powerful way!
Although the Xianghuo faith is not yet fully perfected, at least in terms of its systems and structures, which have only just been established, its powerful effects are gradually becoming apparent.
Now three generals, working together in harmony and loyal to him, is the best scenario!
"Alright, when the time comes to reap, everyone will go all out to rush and collect the grain. After that, we'll expand our military forces. Now, I'm announcing the expansion plan!"
Zhang Xu nodded and said loudly.
"Please grant me your divine instruction!"
Three generals bowed down to the ground and said, although there is nothing wrong with Wu Zhong, but in name he will be the first general in the future, it is necessary to know that after all, the Imperial Guard Corps, although only one battalion, is the most important troops.
"General Guan Hui leads the five battalions of soldiers and horses, expanding to ten brigades, with two battalions forming one brigade. The ten brigades can attack 10,000 people on their own, and you can appoint deputy battalion commanders and brigade commanders by yourself!"
According to Zhang Xu's plan, the least of the camp should also be led by a non-mainstream general, but now he only has three awkward generals under his command, so he can only let those fierce soldiers take charge, appointed by Guan Hai himself.
This is the formation unit decided by Zhang Xu, after all, the communication means in ancient times were low, and at this stage, it was necessary to have a strong control, two battalions formed one brigade, which was a regular formation unit that could ensure flexible command.
After all, two journeys have a thousand people, a thousand soldiers and horses. Although it's nothing in a big war, it can also be considered as a heavy general on one side!
"Thank you, Master Xian! I am willing to die ten thousand times!"
Guan Hai hastily accepted the military order, ten brigades, twenty regiments, this is a large army of 10,000 people, can be considered as a great favor, Guan Hai also did not expect that Zhang Xu's determination this time was so great, and it turned out to be such a large-scale expansion!
"Wu Qing!"
"The end is near!"
Wu Qing's eyes also flashed with a fiery color, and he respectfully knelt down on the ground.
"Wu Qing, you lead two battalions of soldiers and horses, expand to a large army of 5,000, establish five brigades, and appoint deputy officers under your command!"
Zhang Xu said.
"I will die for the order, even if I have to die ten thousand times!"
Wu Qing also hastily kowtowed and accepted the order.
"Alright, after the autumn harvest, each of you will establish your own troops. My next target is the entire Donglai County. I hope you can train your troops well, as once we engage in battle in Donglai County, it will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction from Kong Rong and even Tian Kai. We must be prepared for a major war!"
Zhang Xu said seriously.
"I will definitely not betray the trust of Master Xianshi!"
Expanding the army to such a large scale at once is enough to show Zhang Xu's determination. To put it bluntly, this expansion will consume the accumulated reserve materials that have been built up over a long period of time. However, this is also an opportunity for takeoff. Once the troops can occupy Donglai County, they will truly have the qualifications to dominate the world and challenge the heavens. Although this will reach the limit, if more troops are sent out, the world will inevitably unite to attack them. But with Donglai County in hand, Zhang Xu's various plans can be put on the agenda, and when the time comes, seizing the opportunity will be his chance to rise!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu was extremely excited. In about four years, it would be the time when Gongsun Zan would completely perish. By then, Tian Kai and Kong Rong in Qingzhou would no longer have any backing forces, and they only needed to seize the opportunity to unify the entire Qingzhou!
Although he will face pressure from Yuan Shao next, as long as he persists for two years, Cao Boss will show his might and wipe out Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops at Guandu. Then Zhang Xu will truly have capital!
This process will be a very adventurous and thrilling experience, but also very interesting. Zhang Xu believes in himself that at that time, he will definitely have an even more powerful space to maneuver!
Therefore, he is so anxious to occupy Donglai County. After all, if he can take down Donglai County before October, that is, before the winter wheat is planted, he can support his large-scale recruitment of refugees next year. The entire Donglai County has about 80,000 square kilometers of land. Once it can be fully utilized, it will make him have unparalleled strength!
Zhang Xu has a vision far beyond that of people in this era, coupled with the terrifying power of religious incense and faith. Although he knows that the road ahead is extremely treacherous, he is full of confidence in his heart!
The establishment of the Imperial Guard is also one of Zhang Xu's plans. The Imperial Guard will later become a true general training institution. The fierce soldiers, after further activation, have activated the three-flow martial generals with refined blood, and with the help of the Condensed Spirit Symbol, I believe that military officers can be cultivated continuously!
Zhang Xu's goal is extremely ambitious, that is to be at least a first-rate general in the future, and now although this hope seems extremely slim, it may not be impossible!
