Humane Yongchang

Chapter 454 Hussar General
On that day, Chen Sheng entered the camp of Xiang Yu's army in Zhuo County, and held a banquet to summon all the generals and schools.

At the banquet, he granted Xiang Yu the title of General Hussars, Xiang Liang the Governor of Chenliu County, Long Qie the title of Colonel Fenwei, Xiang Zhuang the title Captain of Polu, and other important generals also received rewards.

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its climax in the continuous sound of awards.

All the generals attending were happily discussing in private what position Pao Zedu had been granted in the past, feeling like he was looking forward to being recruited for murder and arson.

But in fact, except that Xiang Liang's position as Chen Liu's prefect was sealed.

The rest of the generals, including Xiang Yu's title of Hussar General, are just miscellaneous general titles.

There are three sets of systems for the titles of generals and officers in Dahan.

The first is a permanent military position, such as the commander of the X Army X Division, which represents the actual power to command the army.

The second type is temporary general titles, such as Li Xin’s title of General Conquering the North, which means that Li Xin is temporarily in charge of all soldiers and horses of the Northern Route Army. Under Li Xin's command.

The reason why it is said to be temporary is that this kind of general title is temporarily granted in response to a war. Once the war is over, the DPRK and China will withdraw a letter of decree.

Just like Li Xin, once the court dispatched the giant deer tiger and ben army to return to Jinling for repairs, once Li Xin returned to Jinling, he had to go to the court to return the seal of the general who conquered the north, and become the general of his tiger and ben army.

The temporary general titles currently practiced by the Han Dynasty are Sizheng, Sizhen, Siping, and Si'an.

Looking at Wang Ben's title of General Pingxi, Song Yi's title of Zhendong General, and Chen Sheng's title of Zhenbei General prepared for Liu Bang, we can see that they all have command power but no military command...

To put it more clearly, it is their soldiers who are transferred to their command, and the soldiers under their command may be transferred away by others at any time!

In stark contrast, of course, are Meng Tian and Li Xin, two veteran generals of the Han Dynasty who have both command and command power.

The third type is the honorary miscellaneous general, which is the general that Chen Sheng now rewards Xiang Yu and the others.

The so-called miscellaneous generals are honorary generals who have neither military command nor command power in the military attache system of the Han Dynasty.

This set of titles of miscellaneous generals, Chen Sheng originally planned to give them to those generals with military exploits as compensation for not being able to be knighted. This is not only an honor, but also a benefit other than an official position. You can still receive the salary of the imperial court until a hundred years later.

It is just right to use it here today!
Of course, it has two meanings when used here.

For Xiang Yu and Long Qi, this was just an expedient measure that Chen Sheng hadn't made arrangements for them yet.

For the good and bad generals under Xiang Yu's command, this is the severance pay that Chen Sheng paid them in advance...

How can Chen Sheng have a strategic heart among these generals under Xiang Yu's command?He was immediately fascinated by the names that became louder and stronger than the last.

Even Xiang Yu won the title of "Great General of Hussars", and he felt that this mighty general was especially suitable for the Long Xiang Master he was about to acquire. He was so excited that he had a drink with Long Qie!

Xiang Liang did contemplate a hint of conspiracy, but the matter had come to this point, even if he was sure that Chen Sheng was playing tricks, what could be changed?

Didn't see, my reckless nephew is holding a sword and eager to try, is he going to perform a sword dance to add to the fun?

'No, no, no...'

With a smile on his face, Xiang Liang raised the wine bar with both hands, facing Chen Sheng who lived in the north, and shouted loudly: "I wish the king will show his great ambitions and rebuild the universe. Long live my king!"

Hearing the sound, many generals and schools present all raised their wine cups and said in agreement: "Long live my king, long live, long live!"

Chen Sheng picked up the wine jue filled with clear water in front of him with a smile, and gestured left and right: "Welcome to the Han Dynasty, and we will work together to create a stronger, more prosperous, and more stable Han in the future... Win!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

All the generals shouted in unison, raised their heads and drank.

……

After the dinner is over.

Chen Sheng originally wanted to summon Xiang Yu alone, but seeing that he was so drunk that he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, he had to give up and go back to his tent to rest.

Early the next morning, he ordered Guan Ying to summon Xiang Yu.

Not long after, Xiang Yu, who was wearing only a silk bunt and was full of blood like a furnace, hurried to the king's tent to have an audience.

"Last general Xiang Yu, pay homage to the king, long live my king, long live long live!"

Just like the king's tent, Xiang Yu clasped his palms and made a bow, his posture was still upright.

As soon as Chen Sheng saw this guy's appearance, he knew that this guy was doing morning exercises before he came, so he nodded approvingly: "Sit down and talk."

Xiang Yu: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After he was seated, Chen Sheng said calmly, "After the banquet last night, I wanted to call you over to discuss business matters, but you drank too much last night, so I had to invite you over again this morning... don't disturb your morning exercise." ?”

Xiang Yu's dark cheeks were a little purple, and he lowered his head slightly in shame: "I will know my mistakes in the end, and I will know how to drink in moderation in the future!"

"Um……"

After Chen Sheng pondered for a while, he said again: "I know that the Youzhou army can't help drinking, but in the military discipline of our Han army, drinking in the army is expressly prohibited. It's not a day to reward the three armies with triumph. If you drink alcohol, you will be beaten with eighty army sticks as usual, since my younger brother is already a general of the Han Dynasty, he should also be restrained by the military discipline of the Han Dynasty, so as to make the generals and soldiers work together!"

Xiang Yu can understand this military discipline. After all, although alcohol is not prohibited in the Youzhou Army, drinking is also conditional, and it is not possible to get drunk unscrupulously anytime and anywhere.

What made him even more awe-inspiring was that Chen Sheng said that even if he drank in the army, he would be punished with a military stick!
He solemnly said loudly: "The last general will obey the king's order and never do it again!"

"very good!"

Chen Sheng nodded, and said softly in a slow tone: "There are only you and me here, so you can relax... I am so anxious to ask you to come here, because I want to ask for your opinion on the follow-up arrangements of your department!"

Xiang Yu stared at him suspiciously, clasped his fists and said, "Please show me clearly, Your Majesty!"

Chen Sheng: "Your department currently has two destinations."

"First, accept the reorganization on the spot. After the reorganization is over, you can go north and merge into the Youzhou Army."

"Second, follow me to the west, and participate in the battle of my great Han unification of Kyushu, reorganize while fighting, and wait until the end of the Kyushu unification battle, and then go north and merge into the Youzhou Army."

"Two ways to go, each has advantages and disadvantages, I respect your choice!"

Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then said in a nasty voice: "Dare to ask your majesty, what is the advantage and what is the disadvantage?"

Chen Sheng pursed his lips to hold back his smile, shook his head and said softly, "There are advantages and disadvantages!"

"If you reorganize and go north on the spot, you can gain a firm foothold in the Youzhou Army as soon as possible. When I finish taking care of Bingzhou Hanxin and Yongzhou Yingzheng and free up my hands to rectify the Youzhou Army, you may be able to take the opportunity to take over the first army." General... Well, I forgot to tell you, I have decided to divide the Youzhou Army into two, and set up two generals, each with 25 soldiers. One of the generals has been appointed, and it is my uncle, General Chen Ao , what you are fighting for is the general of the second army!"

"The disadvantage lies in your army. The discipline of the army is lax and the good and the bad are uneven. Even after reorganization, there is still a big gap between you and the Youzhou army. If you form an army of your own, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the invasion of the dog army several times, and it will be damaged. It's all over!"

"This point, you have been a general in Youzhou Army for many years, you should know better than me!"

Xiang Yu racked his brains for a moment, then nodded helplessly, acknowledging Chen Sheng's statement.

Although his army is less than 15, it is all his hard work for more than a year!

He led [-] old troops of the Youzhou Army to revolt, swept through Yanwang Mansion and Youzhou Taiping Road, and used Xiang's name to attract investment from many Ji branches, and finally achieved the scale it is today!

He refused to hand over the command of this army even to join the big man, so how could he break up this army and integrate it into the Youzhou Army?
But if he formed his own army...with the combat power of his army, he really couldn't undertake any independent combat missions against the dog army. Come down, he will be a polished general!
"If you follow me westward to fight and reorganize the army, it will be beneficial to have a process of adaptation. During the conquest of Hanxin in Bingzhou and Yingzheng in Yongzhou, you can slowly rectify military discipline and improve combat effectiveness. It's over, when we go north again, even if we can't fight against the dog army, at least we won't be defeated in the first battle."

"Furthermore, you are new recruits with no reputation or achievements. Even if I intend to promote you, I can't get around the general promotion system in the court. If I can take advantage of the current situation, my millions of Han soldiers will unify Kyushu and rebuild Qiankun's last chance, go west and fight the enemy side by side with 60 soldiers of our Red Clothes Army and Huben Army. Whether it's a promotion in the Youzhou Army, or one day returning to the capital and entering the imperial court, it's nothing but nothing!"

"As for the disadvantages, it is also obvious, that is, you may not be able to return to northern Xinjiang in a short period of time, and a large number of soldiers will die in battle or in foreign lands."

Chen Sheng spoke in an unhurried manner. Although there were spring and autumn brushwork in the words, there was nothing that could distort the facts.

Out of his own will, of course he hoped that Xiang Yu would follow him westward, participate in the battle for the unification of Kyushu, and reappear the power of the overlord of Western Chu!

This is the same as the draw game, who draws the long-awaited SSR, and will use it to slowly brush monsters and level up?
Of course, it's a one-time pile of resources to the top, and the main lineup can be used to do whatever they want!

But it is important to pacify civil strife, but it is equally important to fight against foreign enemies!

Even the latter is more important than the former!
Therefore, even if he hoped that Xiang Yu could go west with him, he would not force a noble general who was determined to fight against foreign enemies and defend his home and country to participate in the civil war.

Xiang Yu didn't think for too long, and replied simply and neatly: "The final general is willing to go west with the king and wipe out the rebellion!"

Chen Sheng has made it very clear.

For the long-term development of him and the tens of thousands of troops under his command, it is indeed much more beneficial to participate in the Kyushu Unification War before going north than to go directly north to be a younger brother that no one can beat!
But the one that hit Xiang Yu's heart the most was the phrase 'no reputation, no merit'.

How can a real man live between heaven and earth, be as silent and nameless as grass?
"very good!"

Chen Sheng nodded, smiled lightly and said softly: "Then quickly go to the army, I guess, that Han Xin is about to hit my Hengshan Huben army camp."

"Han Xin?"

Hearing this name, Xiang Yu did not hide the contempt in his eyes: "There are no heroes in the time, so that Zhuzi will become famous!"

Chen Sheng smiled, but did not comment.

Xiang Yu and Han Xin are representatives of two completely different methods of using troops.

He didn't think that a few words could make Xiang Yu realize the strength of Han Xin.

With him around, Xiang Yu didn't need to learn Han Xin's method of using troops.

Xiang Yu only needs to develop his strengths and be the most invincible armor-piercing halberd under the banner of the Han army, that's enough!
Just when Xiang Yu was about to stand up and leave, Chen Sheng remembered for a while, and asked, "By the way, my younger brother led the army to destroy the King Yan's mansion. I remember that there was a general in the King Yan's mansion called Li Mu. Ji Zhou went on the road back then." When the army encircled and suppressed Taiping Dao, this person's method of using troops was quite unexpected, does my brother know the whereabouts of this person?"

……

An hour later.

Chen Sheng met Chen Ao who hurried home in the Chen family compound in northern Xinjiang.

Chen Ao, who was still wearing his armor and covered in dust, asked the first sentence after he sat down, "Where did you come from?"

Chen Sheng replied respectfully: "I want my uncle to know that my nephew went north this time to subdue Xiang Yu's demon-slaying army. Just yesterday, both Xiang Yu and the demon-slaying army were included in the ranks of our Han army." middle!"

Chen Ao glanced at him in surprise, stroked his beard in comfort and said, "Da Lang's hands and feet are so fast, and several robes in charge of the army were still discussing to send someone to win over that bear boy two days ago!"

Chen Sheng heard the meaning behind the words.

Xiang Yu was right under the eyelids of the Youzhou Army.

Early do not win over.

Don't win over at night.

But at this time to win over...

It seems that after his old grandson passed away, the chief generals of the Youzhou Army really had a lot more vigor in their minds!
"How is the situation in the Youzhou Army?"

Chen Sheng did not go around in circles with Chen Ao, and said directly: "Do you need my nephew to send troops to the north to help my uncle?"

Chen Ao looked at him with a smile: "Your Han army is still dispatching troops?"

Chen Sheng: "There are too many, three to four hundred thousand squeeze one, there are still some!"

Chen Ao: ...

He suddenly felt a little itchy in his hand, he quickly supported the hilt of his sword, and said: "No need, the matter has not reached that point yet, if it is not a last resort, I do not want to meet you all in battle!"

Chen Sheng nodded and said, "Uncle is in charge of everything, by the way, how about Guiguzi sitting in the Youzhou army?"

Chen Ao thought for a while, and said, "I live in seclusion, and have never interfered in military affairs."

After Chen Sheng thought about it, he still instructed: "Uncle needs to pay more attention, this is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
