Chapter 60 Reorganization
Handan Zao did not come alone. He finally brought his three hundred guests who had been talking about him to Zhao Kuo. He practiced Handan Zao for a long time to leave a profound influence on Zhao Kuo, whom he admired the most. He did not make much trouble with his horse. In his courtyard, he fantasized about his domineering look and tried it again and again.
Even once when he was practicing squeezing horses, the horse raised its front hoof and almost trampled Zhao Li, who had just walked out to inquire about the situation. Without saying much, Zhao Li beat him hard, making him unable to get up for two days, but the boy just recovered, so he couldn't help trying again. Now this domineering appearance is very in line with his fantasy. The boy was very happy, but he seemed to be a little too happy. The horse raised its hoof, and Handan Zao couldn't control his body and fell off the horse's back.
After rolling around the ground for a few times, just as several old soldiers nearby were about to come to save him, Handan Zao jumped up, patted the soil on his body, smiled awkwardly, and explained: "I was too excited to see the horse and the bust." He waved his hand, and a group of servants led the horse and appeared behind him. Perhaps, these people were not servants at all. Zhao Kuo stood on the stage and saw clearly that most of them were young men.
At about the same age as Handan Zao, wearing armor and helmet, it is not the ordinary people's costume. Most of these are noble men from Handan. Only those who stand at the end are their guests. These young men don't have many visitors at all. At this moment, they are all following Handan Zao, looking at Zhao Kuo in the distance with excitement, "It's really a horse-dressing boy, it's really majestic!"
"Zhao Guoerlang should follow people like Ma Fuzi to gallop on the battlefield!"
Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, and he waved to Handan Zao from afar. Handan Zao was overjoyed. With many years of envious eyes, he ran towards the Jiangtai. He just rushed to the front of the Jiangtai and wanted to go up. Wang Fan directly drew out his short sword and blocked his way. Wang Fan widened his eyes and looked fierce. Handan Zao was stunned. Then he reacted and hurriedly leaned over to Zhao Kuo from the audience, saying, "Handan Zao pays homage to the master!"
"What are you trying to do here?"
"We are always waiting for the opportunity to follow you. Now the Yan thief invasion is the time when you can use us. We have learned martial arts since childhood and can ride horses and fire bows. Please allow us to follow you! We are all willing to fight to the death for you!" Handan Zao said seriously. Zhao Kuo laughed, looked at Handan Zao and said seriously: "Okay, I happen to have important things that require manpower."
"Please give me instructions!" Handan Zao's whole body trembled with excitement.
In the granary of the schoolyard, Handan Zao looked at the bamboo slips in his hand in a daze, and then at the corn piled up in front of him. He finally turned his head and looked at Zhao Kuo standing beside him, "General, is this the important thing you are talking about?"
Zhao Kuo said seriously: "Sunzi said: If we can understand the situation of both the enemy and us thoroughly, we can be invincible when fighting. Now we have no way to investigate the situation of the Yan people, but if we don't even know the situation of our own soldiers and the food and grass, how can we fight? There are not many literate people in the army, and the same is true for my disciples. The second and third sons can be literary. I issued such an order because the second and third sons are good at. Can the general's order be violated in the army?"
Handan Zao shook his head quickly. He seemed to have learned something and said seriously: "I will complete the verification of the food and grass seriously. Please rest assured."
Zhao Kuo nodded and then walked out. He arranged for the people brought by Handan to verify the soldiers and food. It happened that there were not many people under his command who could use them. After arranging these things, Zhao Kuo returned to his house. Speaking of which, his residence was not the tent similar to yurts he saw in film and television dramas, but just the construction of ordinary houses in the schoolyard.
Sitting in this house, Zhao Kuo placed the map given by Yu Qing on the table and looked at it carefully.
After more than an hour, the situation of the soldiers was first verified. Although the Zhao people did not popularize "identity cards" like the Qin people, when officials recruited them, they would bring a letter of prose similar to the conscription certificate, with the names, origins, ages and other situations written on it. They were divided into two pieces, one was taken away by the officials and the other was left for the soldiers. After the soldiers arrived, it would be much more convenient.
Therefore, Wang Fan soon came to Zhao Kuo, holding a bamboo slip and reported to him about the situation of the soldiers in the army. There were 6,235 soldiers. Wang Fan was a serious person. Even if he was down and out, he did not abandon the aristocratic accent. He also told more detailed situations towards the aristocratic accent of Handan, which was striking. For example, the equipment of these 6,000 soldiers was only more than 300 bows sent by King Zhao, and some 2,300 spears that were about to be broken. The rest could only use short swords.
There is also the physical condition of the soldiers. Wang Fan carefully observed these soldiers. Among them, there were probably hundreds of them who could marching in armor and weapons. Wang Fan said that they had just asked them to run around the school ground for a few laps, and they were already panting and collapsed to the ground. Ge listened carefully from the side and couldn't help but grin and said, "Our Shangjun is wise. He knew that our soldiers could not run, so he did not send armor shields to avoid increasing their load."
Zhao Kuo glared at him and said to Wang Fan: "Please help Handan build and verify the food situation."
Wang Fan took the order and left here with Ge. After they left, Zhao Kuo sat down and sighed helplessly. How could these soldiers defeat the 100,000 Yan people? Soon, just as Zhao Kuo was thinking about ways to defeat the enemy, Handan Zao and Wang Fan walked in to report the situation of the food and grass. The situation of the food and grass was always better. King Zhao sent 49,800 stones of millet, and 6,000 people would consume about 12,000 stones of grain per month. Then the 50,000 stones was enough for the soldiers to use for four months.
Zhao Kuo led everyone out of the house. The soldiers seemed a little casual. They gathered together in three or three and chatted. Handan was about to scold him, but Zhao Kuo stopped them. Zhao Kuo was thinking about their organizational issues, the establishment of Zhao State itself, tens of thousands of people set up left and right generals for the army, five thousand troops set up a deputy general, and a thousand people called a brigade chief. Below were there were a 100-person chief, a half-a-century soldier chief, a sergeant chief, etc.
In other words, Zhao Kuo demoted himself from General Left to General Bi through cutting. If the Zhao people were organized, the 6,000 people could be divided into six brigades, and Zhao Kuo could appoint five chief lieutenants to command the commander, but the problem is that Zhao Kuo did not have enough talents to serve as chief lieutenants.
The lieutenant had to be responsible for a lot of things. From logistics transportation to road construction, he could still lead troops alone to fight. Zhao Kuo did not think anyone under his command had such ability. Therefore, after thinking for a long time, he looked at the noble young men brought by Handan. Although they were not old, they had received education and read a lot of books. Compared with those rough men who could not read big words, they might be more suitable to serve as military officers.
He ordered, "Please ask the two or three sons to select strong people in the army, five are the commanders of the sergeants, why are ten people and fifty people the commanders of the soldiers." Handan Zao was stunned and asked, "Where is the chief of the chief and the commander of the commander of the army?" Zhao Kuo said nothing, and Ge shouted angrily: "Do you still want to arrange for the commander of the commander of the army? Why do you come to worship Shaojun as a general?" Handan Zao scratched his head, smiled, and hurriedly ran out.
Zhao Kuo's disciples and young nobles began to pace back and forth in the ranks, selecting one by one, occasionally making big fuss, but there were disputes. The young people were always full of energy and did not feel tired at all, because they did not have experience in this area. At first, the selection was messed up, and Handan Zao was so anxious that he almost cried. These old soldiers had experience. They proposed to arrange according to their original position in the military.
Handan Zao agreed. What he unexpectedly expected was that many of these people had served as commanders of the ranks in the military, or even as commanders of the ranks. They were all elite troops in the army. Although their combat effectiveness had dropped a lot, their experience was definitely not comparable to those of Handan Zao. After their own election, those who had served as commanders were the ranks, and those who served as commanders of the ranks were the ranks, and those who served as commanders of the ranks were the ranks, and those who served as commanders of the ranks were the ranks, and those who served as commanders of the ranks were the ranks, and those who served as commanders of the ranks were the ranks, and those who served as commanders of the ranks were the ranks, one after another.
Like Qin, Zhao State often convenes local people for training. During wars, these people are often organized together, so most of the old soldiers here know each other, and even serve together. When everyone is back on the stage according to the current organization, they finally show the experience of the Taoist, and finally, they begin to be like a real army.
But this was not enough. Handan Zao and others looked at Zhao Kuo eagerly. Of course, they were waiting for the position of the commander. Zhao Kuo said seriously: "Put a hundred people as the chief of the rank, and 500 people as the chief of the rank."
Everyone was shocked, and Handan Zao hurriedly asked, "Tun? Isn't this the Qin State's organization? We are Zhao people, how can we use the Qin people's organization?"
Ge snorted coldly and said, "The sword on your waist is just the sword of Qi. There is also the word Qi on the scabbard. If you, a Zhao man, can use Qi's sword, can't the general use Qin's organization? If you are not convinced, go to Xianyang to complain to the King of Qin, and say that Ma Fuzi steals the Qin's organization!"
