Silver and green ribbons can only be worn by those with a rank of more than two thousand stones. Don't have low power and low position, so they are not qualified to use it. The same is true for governors. Ding Yuan was also a cavalry captain conferred by the imperial court, so he was able to wear it in Bingzhou. Regulatory governor Zhang Yi headed.
At this moment, this veteran, who was over forty years old, put on his armor and his eyes were clear. He put down the papers in his hands and looked around at everyone.
According to his position, Lu Li stood in the most inconspicuous place below, silently waiting for orders.
At the same time, various thoughts were swirling in my mind.
It is not impossible for Song Xian to serve as the vanguard, but where should he go to take charge of the baggage troops in the rear to prevent food and grass from being cut off?
Or, guarding the Chinese army camp with his brother Zhang Liao?
You won't go around in circles and become General Yamen or the head of the bodyguard, right?
In addition, there is one more important thing that needs to be clarified. Looking back at the tone of the lord's words, it is clear that he will serve as the forward, but after just two days of absence, there will be a twist!
What happened in the middle?
He couldn't help but think too much.
"Where is Song Xian?"
A clear voice suddenly sounded in the camp, and Ding Yuan straightened his back and began to give orders.
At the same time, a general wearing fish scale armor and leather armor jumped out, put one knee on the ground, and said loudly: "The general will be here."
"You are appointed as Zuo Yuhou, and you lead an army as the vanguard. You select 1,900 soldiers and 900 auxiliary soldiers."
Due to the unrest in the Ding Mansion, Lu Li simply hung out with his brother Zhang Liao for the past two days and took the opportunity to ask for advice on military matters.
I don't seek to be the commander-in-chief who takes charge of the overall situation. After all, this is not something that can be done quickly. I just want to lead the army in a war without making a fool of myself.
Considering that his brother was on the battlefield for the first time, Zhang Liao patiently explained for a long time, first describing military discipline, then military system, and finally some easy-to-understand marching techniques.
Taking the immediate situation as an example, Lu Li knew that the 20,000 county soldiers outside the camp would be divided into seven armies:
There are 4,000 people in the Chinese army, including 2,800 combat soldiers. They coordinate everything in the center and respond to other parts at any time depending on the situation on the battlefield.
The left and right Yuhou each have an army, each army has 2,800 men, and they have 1,900 combatable troops, including 300 archers, 300 crossbowmen, 500 cavalry, and 800 infantry. They serve as the vanguard and are responsible for Scout the enemy's situation and launch exploratory attacks. At the same time, its performance will also affect your own morale——
The vanguard is the elite force of the entire army. If it is used well and can defeat the enemy with one blow and demoralize the enemy, it will undoubtedly boost morale. If it is used improperly and is defeated by the enemy, especially if it is completely annihilated, the morale of the army will be unstable.
Therefore, Lu Li would strive for this position, which could not only hone himself but also make military achievements.
Unfortunately, the master suddenly changed his mind and said that he had other important responsibilities for him.
"Where is Hao Meng?"
"The general is here!"
When Lu Li's thoughts were swirling, another person flew out. He was born with a broad waist and straight shoulders. He was undoubtedly a strong soldier.
"You are appointed Marquis Youyu."
Ding Yuan's face was cold, no longer as wild as when he danced solo the day before, which made people subconsciously awe.
Hao Meng clasped his hands and replied: "No!"
"Where is Cheng Lian?"
"You lead the first battalion of the left wing army."
"Where is Wei Xu?"
"You lead the second battalion of the left wing army."
…
Ding Yuan named ten generals in succession, and each of these ten men was in charge of nearly a thousand soldiers. Lu Li's name was not among them.
There are two armies on the left and right sides respectively, totaling four armies. Each army has 2,600 men, of which 1,850 are capable of fighting, including 250 crossbowmen, 300 archers, and 5 cavalry. One hundred men and eight hundred infantrymen were responsible for guarding the left and right wings of the camp.
The above seven armies have a total of 14,000 combat-effective soldiers, and the remaining 6,000 are either son-in-laws with weak personalities or undisciplined criminals. They are generally used to guard Zizhong and do logistics. Work.
In other words.
The main positions in the northern attack on the Huns have been divided up. There is really little hope of leading the army alone and making achievements...
Since the Lord had greeted him in advance, Lu Li's expression remained as usual, and no one knew what he was thinking.
On the contrary, it was Zhang Liao who frowned and subconsciously wanted to speak up for his little brother.
But with a glance from the corner of my eye——
The Lord was still scolding Fang Qiu, with a solemn look on his face.
Lu Li stood at the end of the team, his expression as usual, as if he had been prepared for it.
In an instant, Zhang Liao, who was well versed in human relations and sophistication, saw the clues, no longer thought about it, and waited patiently.
Where did the lord offend?
Instead of guarding the baggage, it is better to be a general of Yamen. At least the latter symbolizes the lord's trust in him and his recognition of force.
Not only that, Ding Yuan has the habit of leading by example. Once he encounters a tough battle, he still has a chance.
But, will there be a turnaround?
When Lu Li was in a state of confusion, a name popped into his ears.
"Where is Captain Yang Wu Lu Li?"
In an instant, more than a dozen eyes fell on him.
Zhang Liao never hesitated to speak kindly to the brother he recognized. Moreover, under the promotion of the Wolf Knight soldiers, Lu Li seemed to be a rising star in the Bingzhou Army. Everyone was curious about what the Lord's plans were for him.
General Yamen?
Thinking of this, Hao Meng, who was the Marquis of Youyu, couldn't help but feel envious. You should know that this job was to protect the Lord.
The righteousness between monarch and minister, the friendship between life and death.
With these two, why worry about not getting promoted in the future?
"The general is here!"
Lu Li showed no signs of panic and walked out of the team, kneeling on the ground, clasping his hands and waiting for orders.
"Meng Ming, I know that you have great ambitions, and you have risked your life, crossed Pingtao, crossed Wenshui River, and risked your life to come to me. This is your loyalty!"
In front of the generals in the tent, Ding Yuan once again praised Lu Li, "Killing the thief general Pei Yuanshao, saving Fenyang from war, and capturing the thief leader Meng Liang alive is another great achievement. With this qualification, he is no longer weak." Wenyuan, Fengxian..."
Praise for killing?
How can I compare with these two people?
Lu Li didn't care about anything else. He bowed to the end and said in a deep voice: "My lord, you are serious. Those who kill the enemy for the country are all heroes. How dare Meng Ming be more beautiful than others?"
"Well, there's a limit to advance or retreat."
A smile appeared on Ding Yuan's face, he stroked his beard and sighed: "Having a child should be like Lu Mengming."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. Even Zhang Liao couldn't help but speculate in his heart:
Could it be that Biejia wanted to adopt him as his adopted son?
It's not impossible. After all, he understood the spirit of war at such a young age and easily defeated two Yellow Turban generals. Given time, he may not be weaker than Fengxian.
Almost at the same time.
Lu Li also thought about this situation, and felt very complicated. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was just a cheap father, and now there is a foster father.
Perhaps, before the battle of Hulao Pass, he could consider adopting an adopted son and gather three generations of his descendants to achieve special achievements.
"I said before that I won't treat you badly. I will be General Yamen for the time being. When the war is over, I will report to the court and grant you the post of General Yang Wei."
Ding Yuan spoke firmly and looked at Lu Li with admiration in his eyes.
