The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 266 Expansion of the Army
Chapter 270 Eighth Army Expansion

In this way, Chen Ziming filled the gap where the local clans could reach out, and completely cut off the threat of the local clans to Liu Bei's rule.

According to the current financial situation of the Liu Bei Group, Chen Ziming directly expanded the army to 120 million.And for a long period of time, this number will be maintained, and no expansion will be made at will.

First of all, Chen Ziming expanded the navy to 20. Because of Fuzhou and other places, the importance of the navy has emerged, and he wants to slowly build the navy into an invincible Chinese navy, but it needs to be done slowly. After all, a century-old navy It's not just talking about it casually. Without a century of precipitation, I dare not call it a naval power.

And now the navy has equipped hundreds of sea ships, and it is already possible to transport one hundred thousand troops from the sea to fight at one time. Although it is not very mature, it is already very remarkable to have such an achievement in this era. matter.

At the same time, Chen Ziming established three naval military academies, preparing to completely change the navy from the grassroots to the top, and build the navy into a technical arm.

Moreover, Chen Ziming divided the navy into four branches. Gan Ning was transferred to the position of admiral and no longer personally led the navy. That is to say, Chen Ziming took back Gan Ning's command of the army. Such a powerful force.

The four navies are assigned to various places. Although the Ministry of the Navy is deployed in a unified manner, they are independent of each other and connected with each other. The only purpose is to decentralize power.

Each of the four navies divides the scope of activities. Unless Liu Bei orders, the four navies cannot operate at the same time.

After formulating the expansion plan of the navy, it is time to come to the most important and huge army.

Chen Ziming is going to expand the army to 100 million and form a legendary army of millions. In history, those princes always said that they commanded an army of millions. Chen Ziming also wanted to try this feeling.

According to the different enemies he will face in the future, Chen Ziming divided the army of one million into ten, and ten generals commanded it. Needless to say, the purpose was to decentralize power. One person commanded one hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

Of course, this refers to the situation where there is no major war. When a major war occurs, the head coach will be appointed by Liu Bei, and the specific number of soldiers and horses to be mobilized will be discussed at that time.

Chen Ziming Guan Yu will be transferred from the front line to serve as an army general in the Linzi Army Department and command all the armies. Of course, this is only in name. Without Liu Bei's nod, Guan Yu can transfer at most one of the ten armies, and there must be sufficient reasons just work.

Chen Ziming has already selected ten generals of the army, namely, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Jai, Gao Lan, Chen Dao, Pan Zhang, and Li Yan.

These ten people are only temporary, and they will be reappointed after whoever achieves great merit in the future, but the talents of these people are indeed the most suitable candidates in Liu Bei's hands now, and they all have the experience of leading the army alone.

In particular, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhang Jai had all led troops in battle alone, and their abilities and prestige were sufficient.

As for Gao Lan, Chen Dao, Pan Zhang, and Li Yan, they are much worse than the previous six, but their ability is absolutely no problem. It is no big deal to lead a hundred thousand soldiers, as long as they don't face a fierce man like Cao Cao, There will be no major mistakes.

Moreover, Chen Ziming also carefully arranged deputies for them to assist them in commanding the troops. Of course, it also meant decentralization. Chen Ziming gave these deputies a little power. Make changes accordingly.

After the formation of the ten troops is completed, they begin to enter the designated station, and they will face their future enemies.

Li Yan led [-] soldiers and horses to establish a northern war zone. The main places of action were Jizhou and Heilong Prefecture. His enemies were mainly the Wuheng people who bordered both Jizhou and Heilong Prefecture.

Then Huang Zhong led [-] soldiers and horses to establish the Bingzhou theater. Huang Zhong's main enemy is the Huns in the northern grasslands, who are still very powerful. At the same time, they also care about the disabled Xianbei.

Zhang Fei led 10 troops to establish the Jizhou Theater, with the main target being Sili Prefecture, which is the next goal of Chen Ziming's strategic plan.

Zhang Liao led 10 troops to form the Mount Tai theater. The enemy is of course Cao Cao’s army in Yanzhou. Yanzhou can be said to be the place where Cao Cao started. Now there are nearly 20 soldiers and horses there. The strength is very strong, and Mount Tai is the gateway for Yanzhou to enter Qingzhou. As long as Mount Tai is not lost, Qingzhou can sit back and relax.

Zhao Yun led 10 troops to establish the Qinghe War Zone. It was not the original Qinghe camp of Yan Liang, but moved westward. The main target was Cao Cao in Yanzhou. Once things changed, Zhao Yun could directly send troops from Qinghe to Yanzhou to attack Cao Cao's strength in Yanzhou. .

At the same time, Zhao Yun has to take care of all the places in the north. Once there are changes in Youzhou and Bingzhou in the north, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses can immediately go north to support.

Zhang Ja led [-] soldiers and horses to continue to sit in Pei County and become an independent war zone. His mission was the most important, because he would face the terrifying Cao Cao.

However, Chen Ziming also established the Xuzhou War Zone in Pengjun, Xuzhou, with a high rate of 10 troops. One is to defend Cao Cao from attacking Xuzhou from Yanzhou, and the other is to support Zhang Jaw at any time.

Xu Huang was also asked to lead 10 troops to establish the Xiapi war zone, which became Zhang Jai's strong backing. Once the battle with Cao Cao started, Xu Huang's army would directly join forces with Zhang Jai's army.

Originally, Chen Ziming wanted Xu Huang and Zhang Jai to switch positions, but after thinking about it, Zhang Jai had already had some experience in confronting Cao Cao for a long time, while Xu Huang had been fighting in the north for a long time, so he wanted Xu Huang to relax.

Zhang Jai's ability is not inferior to Xu Huang's at all, even higher than Xu Huang's in a certain department, so Chen Ziming is very reassuring about Zhang Jaw.

Pan Zhang's 10 troops gathered in the land of Langya. Firstly, it belonged to Qingzhou, one of the portals. Secondly, it could also reinforce Xuzhou's various theaters at any time. Thirdly, the purpose of his existence was to guard against Sun Ce in Yangzhou, but he could not use it [-] horses were hoarded on the border of Yangzhou, otherwise Sun Ce would have to jump up.

So after much deliberation, Chen Ziming definitely concentrated these 10 horses in Langya County, and he could take care of both front, back, left, and right.

Finally, there is Chen Dao's 10 troops, which can be regarded as Linzi's guard army. It is composed of elites drawn from all over the country.

The army of one million was divided in this way, among which Chen Ziming prepared nearly half of the army for Cao Cao.

The 40 troops of Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, and Zhang Jai are all hoarded on the edge of Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and Xu Huang's [-] troops are behind him at any time to support them. Pan Zhang's [-] troops can also be mobilized.
