The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 252

The whole night passed while writing, and Xu An didn't know when he fell asleep.

When I woke up again, the sun had already climbed up to the head of the club, and it was already around two quarters of the next day (around 9:30).

Hearing the sound of Xu Anshui waking up, Xu Da, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, quickly came in from outside the courtyard with food and a facial handkerchief.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Xu An took the mask, wiped his face and asked.

Xu Da thought for a while, and replied, "A little more than three hours."

"Zhang Ji is gone?"

Xu An asked outside the door that Zhang Ji was basically doing things like delivering meals for him before.

Xu Da laughed and said: "I received a transfer order from the Eagle Wolf Guard at Maoshi today. Originally, that boy Zhang Ji wanted to bid farewell to the lord, but he saw that the lord was sleeping, so he didn't disturb him."

Xu An put down the mask, he found that he seemed a little sentimental recently, and he didn't know why.

Sui Gu and Huang San died outside Kuicheng.

Huang San, the bandit who was tied up in front of him by Wuhuada and solemnly said he wanted to live, climbed up desperately after he was attached, and was promoted to army commander all the way, but finally died outside the city of Kuicheng.

I don't know if he regretted it...

Although Xu An and Sui Gu only met for a short time, Sui Gu really impressed Xu An. In the first battle at Chishiling, he issued a military order to charge at the forefront, and then he must go first in every battle.

Xu An stopped his confused thoughts and asked, "Has the order to mobilize the Bingzhou cavalry been issued?"

Xu Da quickly replied: "At the hour of Hai last night, messengers were sent to Yanmen and Dingxiang counties."

Xu An nodded. Now that the transfer order has been sent out, the work of building the camp has to be done.

Bingzhou does not lack too many war horses. Those local powerful families still have a lot of war horses, and military horses are not very scarce. What are really scarce are military equipment, such as bows, armor, and arrows.

Xu An plans to form a cavalry team of [-] people. The whole battalion is composed of about [-] Han cavalry and more than [-] Yellow Turban cavalry.

It turned out that Xu An had no way to control the proportion of cavalry in the Han army, because the cavalry knights in the Yellow Turban Army who were able to ride were basically exhausted in the Battle of Fenshui, the Battle of Kuicheng, and the previous attack on the Southern Huns. .

The [-] Yellow Turban cavalry that Xu An can find now are still filled in the scouts in each trilogy.

"Four thousand people..."

Xu An tapped the desk lightly, thinking about the military system of the new cavalry trilogy in his mind.

The candidate for the chief general of the cavalry is actually only Lu Bu.

Although Xu Huang is brave and often leads cavalry into battle, his experience in using cavalry is definitely inferior to that of Lu Bu.

Moreover, Xu Huang has now been transferred back to Hedong by Xu An, and now Xu An has handed over the defense of the entire Hedong County to Xu Huang. Zhang Yan, He Man, Guo Tai and others are all controlled by Xu Huang.

In the Battle of Fancheng, it was Xu Huang who led the army to repel Guan Yu, followed Guan Yu to pursue and kill him, and took the opportunity to break through Guan Yu's ten-fold siege, completely lifting the siege of Fancheng.He was also praised by Cao Cao for "having the style of Zhou Yafu" because of his strict military management.

In history, Xu Huang was not only a general, but also a general who could stand alone, and Xu An lacked such generals.

Although Xu Huang does not have so much battle experience now, Xu Huang still shows his ability far superior to others.

The defense of Hedong County is the same as Bingzhou's top priority. Although the southern line has repelled the attack of the Han army, but now there is only Zhang Yan, Xu An is still a little worried.

"Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Song Xian, Wei Xu..."

Xu An read these familiar names. These people all appeared in history as brave cavalry generals.

With Lu Bu as the chief officer, and with these brave cavalry generals, perhaps this cavalry trilogy formed by himself will have a great reputation in the future like the "Bingzhou Tuqi", "Xiliang Iron Cavalry", and "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" in history. prestige.

"Xiaojiang, Xiaoqi..."

Xu An's eyes brightened slightly, and he said with a smile.

"The title I gave to Lu Bu is General Xiaoqi. I intend to let Lu Bu be the chief officer. Why don't this branch be called Xiaoqi Battalion?"

"Xiaoqi Battalion?"

Xu Da repeated it several times, and also echoed with a smile: "This name is not bad."

"Then it's settled."

After deciding on the name, Xu An was in a good mood, but just deciding on the name was not enough, he also had to think about who he would arrange to enter the Xiaoqi Camp as generals.

There were eight generals who followed Lu Bu, namely Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing.

[-] cavalry can be composed of eight soldiers and two lieutenants. Although the formation is sufficient, Xu An certainly cannot choose all the eight people who followed Lu Bu.

Although Lu Bu is still loyal and respects Xu An very much, and his family members are now sent to the eldest son city in the hinterland of Shangdang County, Xu An still has certain precautions against him.

After pondering for a moment, Xu An also made a decision, taking Lu Bu as the chief officer of the Xiaoqi Battalion and Zhou Cang as his deputy.

Put Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and four people into the Xiaoqi Battalion, and let Lu Bu choose from these four for the remaining lieutenant general.

The remaining three were temporarily assigned as military marquis, and the other five were temporarily selected from among the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Song Xian, Wei Xu, Gao Shun..."

Wei Xu and Lu Bu are related by marriage, so if he and Lu Bu are not placed in the same army, it can be regarded as more chips in their hands.

When the name "Gao Shun" was pronounced, Xu An also thought of the army that was famous among fans of the Three Kingdoms in history - trapped in the camp.

"There are more than [-] soldiers, numbered as a thousand men, and their armors are all refined and neat. Every attack is invincible, and they are called 'trapped camp'"

Xu An remembered that when they attacked Lu Bu's trilogy, with the combat power of the Yellow Angels, they failed to resolve the battle in a short time, and Gao Shun and the others persisted until Lu Bu returned to defense.

But it didn't take much time for the Yellow Turban Army to defeat the rest of the Shangjun soldiers.

After the war, Xu An also asked about the training of Lu Bu's trilogy, and Lu Bu truthfully told Xu Anyan that Gao Shun was basically responsible for the training of his trilogy.

From this point of view, Gao Shun should have learned the methods of battle formation and soldier training very early, but he doesn't know where he learned it.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army is occupying Hedong County, the hinterland of Bingzhou, and Shangdang County, there is no shortage of craftsmen, and there are also many iron mines that can be excavated under Xu An's rule.

After a while, Xu An made a decision, and said to Xu Dayan who was kneeling at the side: "Xu Da, call Gao Shun to the Jinyang government office."

Xu An plans to form two armies at the same time, the Xiaoqi camp and the trap camp.

Soldiers are expensive, not expensive.

The huge military power brought Xu An huge financial pressure.
