Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 650 Growth
After entering the study, Zhang Jun and Dong Xian sang promises to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiaolie said: "There are stools here, you sit down and talk. — By the way, I brought this year's good tea, you all have a taste."

Dong Xian was in charge at this time, and Wang Xiaolie was the envoy of Xuanfu, and the gap between the official positions of the two sides was very large.Listening to Wang Xiaolie's request to sit down, Dong Xian couldn't help hesitating.Zhang Jun didn't care so much, and sat down.

Cui Qing served tea.Zhang Jun hurriedly stood up and took the tea ceremony: "Thank you brother."

After Cui Qing left, Zhang Jun sat down again.Dong Xian saw that Zhang Jun was sitting down, so he also sat down carefully.

Looking at Zhang Jun, Wang Xiaolie said: "You have been in the military academy for more than half a year, have you learned how to lead troops?"

Zhang Jundao: "Xuanfu knows what kind of person I am. I'm not stupid. After entering the military academy, I worked hard and roughly figured it out."

"It's good to understand roughly." Wang Xiaolie said with some emotion. "Leading troops to fight, you can only understand roughly at the beginning. If you really want to figure it out, you will have to lead soldiers for several years. It is impossible to learn everything in a military academy."

Zhang Jundao: "What Xuanfu said is true. I think so too."

Wang Xiaolie looked at Zhang Jun.After a while, he sighed slightly: "In the past six months, you have become much more tactful. You used to be high-spirited, even though you often got into trouble, but you are happy in your heart after all. Now that things are going smoothly, and getting along with others is seldom a thing of the past. Contradictions, but you are not the same as you used to be. In this life, you will eventually grow up. In the past half a year, Sister Yu Nu has taught you a lot by your side."

Hearing this, Zhang Jun was stunned for a while, then nodded.Dao: "What Xuan Fu said is that people will grow up after all. Now that I have a family, I can no longer be the same as before. Many things, I used to know that a knife is a knife, but I have a grudge. Now I don't think so."

Wang Xiaolie nodded, looked at Zhang Jun, and did not speak for a long time.

Since Zhang Jun was a child, he was in Wang Xiaolie's army, so it can be said that Wang Xiaolie grew up watching him.From being lawless at the very beginning, sometimes even a bit hostile, to the present delicate and sleek, Wang Xiaolie can see Zhang Jun's changes.

Is this growth?Wang Xiaolie couldn't tell.All I know is that Zhang Jun is more adapted to this world than before.As long as Zhang Jun likes it, why should others talk about it?People live in the world, who stipulates how to live?
After being silent for a while, Wang Xiaolie looked at Dong Xian.Said: "Dong Tongzhi has been in the military academy for a few months, how do you feel?"

Dong Xiandao: "I have learned a lot. In the past, when leading troops, most of the time I followed my own will, plus some military knowledge I heard. After entering the military academy, I realized that there are so many specialties in leading troops. Get acquainted with Xuanfu's army."

Wang Xiaolie said: "When you come out of the military academy, you must start from the command. Don't think your official position is too low."

Dong Xiandao: "I used to have [-] soldiers and horses, and today I still have [-]. How could I feel that my position is too low. To be honest, I used to say everything myself, but now I have to obey orders. I feel a little awkward. But time As time goes by, you get used to it.”

Like Zhang Jun, in addition to Dong Xian's salary, Wang Xiaolie also gave some subsidies.Dong Xian is a person who loves money, and he is still very grateful in his heart.The salaries in Wang Xiao's hunting army are all paid out in cash on time, and this extra salary makes Dong Xian feel that he is better than others.

Wang Xiaolie said: "There is a reason why the military academy has to start with control. What is taught in the military academy is what the middle and lower-level officers should learn, and senior officers must come out of actual combat. The officer who controls is in our hands. The army is called the middle level. To lead a regiment, you must have the knowledge of junior officers and start to touch the edge of senior officers. If you don’t go through this level, you will not be familiar with many things in the army.”

Dong Xiandao: "I understand."

"Just understand." Wang Xiaolie nodded. "Train the army well and make some military achievements in the future. What's the big deal about being an official? Now it's a time of great chaos, are you afraid that there will be no battles? In the army, everything still depends on military achievements."

Dong Xiandao: "Xuan Fu's cultivation of me, I will always remember it in my heart. When I go to the battlefield in the future, I must know that I will live up to Xuan Fu's expectations!"

"Okay, it's best if you can figure it out. After occupying Shanzhou, we decided to recruit troops from Shaanxi. We originally thought that it would be good to recruit 2 people, and 3 to 6 people would be great. Who would have thought that one In two months, [-] to [-] people have joined the army. Since the founding of the dynasty, the best source of troops has come from Shaanxi Wulu Road, and it is the same now. The [-] to [-] people from Shaanxi who have joined the army are a fortune. This army is based on these Shaanxi people, it is extremely rare. How many people did you choose when you came to Ruicheng this time?"

Zhang Jundao: "A total of 700 people were selected. Xuan Fu, we are selecting soldiers for the army, and they are all under our control."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Of course I know. We have already finalized the general framework of the new army. Half of the officers in each command and capital are transferred from the old army, and half are fresh graduates from the military academy. One-third of the team will be transferred, and two-thirds will be promoted from the soldiers who made contributions in the Battle of Xijing. The soldiers below can only use new recruits, such as the soldiers you brought back this time.”

Zhang Jundao: "6 or [-] people from Shaanxi have joined the army, and not many are distributed to us."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Most of them have gone to your army. About 8000 people were added to the old army. Three to 4000 people went to Hedong and were incorporated into Jiang Min's subordinates. Jiang Min's , and there is a shortage of people."

At this time, Shanzhou, Jiezhou and Hezhong Prefecture belonged to Shaanxi Road, and the plain area of ​​Hedong Road was much smaller than Shanxi Province in later generations.Relying on Jiangzhou and Jinzhou alone, Jiang Min could not gather 3 people, so he had to recruit troops from Shaanxi Road and Jingxi Road.The source of soldiers from Longde Mansion and other places in the east should be added to the old army.

Zhang Jun sighed: "Jiang Min is about the same age as me, so he is really proud now!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "How can you compare with Jiang Min? Entering the military academy, what Jiang Min learns in a month, you need more than half a year."

Zhang Jundao: "That's true. Speaking of studying, Jiang Min is simply a monster. We people are really envious when we see it!"

At the beginning of the Battle of Xijing, Jiang Min won a big victory in Shenshan and wiped out Wanyan Yuying's army.It was Jiang Min's record that greatly boosted Wang Xiaolie's army's confidence, expanded the scale of the war, and won three consecutive victories in Zhongmou, Shanzhou, and Hucheng.

In the battle of Shenshan, Jiang Min's command was determined and well arranged, which proved his command ability.To be honest, if Wang Xiaolie commanded the battle, he would never fight like Jiang Min.But precisely because of the differences, Jiang Min showed his flexibility.
