The large-scale military reorganization of the Bingzhou Army this time is not only as simple as expanding the army. With the success of the Bingzhou Army's victory, the territory has also become larger and larger, and the scope of combat has also expanded. It can be foreseen that after crossing the Yellow River this time, the combat area of ​​the Bingzhou Army will be further expanded.

The limitations of the previous battalion level as the highest combat unit were exposed. According to the existing organization of the Bingzhou Army, whether it is cavalry or infantry, the maximum organization of each battalion is 15,000 people, and they are not affiliated with each other.

In the past, when fighting in Bingzhou, the combat troops of 15,000 people could already meet the individual combat needs, but as the war continued to escalate, the single-battalion combat model had fallen behind. For this Jizhou battle, the Bingzhou army often dispatched two or three battalions or even four or five battalions to conduct joint combat. The combat capabilities of the single battalion could no longer meet the current combat needs.

Although the joint combat of multiple battalions can solve some problems to a certain extent, the exposed defects are inevitable. Since the battalions are not affiliated with each other, the issue of command is invisibly a huge obstacle.

After all, everyone is a general at the same level. It’s okay to say when the opinions are unified. Once there is a disagreement, there will inevitably be disputes. Who will listen to whom?

Although Cao Liang can temporarily appoint temporary commanders in joint warfare, this method can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The temporary commander cannot completely convince the public. Some mutual constraints will inevitably occur. On the battlefield, many fighter jets are changing rapidly. If the commander cannot seize the opportunity and respond correctly, the battle situation will inevitably fall into crisis.

Therefore, the command power on the battlefield is always clear, so that military orders can be consistent and prohibited.

Moreover, as the war continues to expand, this joint combat model will become a normal state. Then, the division and reunion of each battalion will obviously not meet the needs of combat.

Therefore, the reorganization of the Bingzhou army was imminent. During the Battle of Jizhou, Cao Liang had a mature idea, but the war could not stop and this idea was not possible. Now that the Bingzhou army is facing the Yellow River, there is a rare opportunity to rest and recuperate, so Cao Liang decided to take a two-pronged approach, expanding the army and reorganizing at the same time, and in one step.

After the reorganization, the Bingzhou Army will form a new organization of three major legions, each legion will have five battalions, including three infantry battalions and two cavalry battalions. Plus the logistics support team directly under the legion, the strength of each legion will reach 80,000 people.

With an 80,000-man system, the Bingzhou Army will form three completely independent combat systems, and Deng Ai, Yang Hu and Du Yu will also be promoted to the leading governor because of their outstanding military merits and leadership capabilities. The three of them will fully command these three armies and build a new combat system for the Bingzhou Army.

Shi Bao and Wenqin and six others will also be promoted to deputy governors. In addition to assisting the governors in managing the army, they also shoulder another important responsibility, that is, the responsibility of leading the army and fighting.

Each legion has three infantry battalions and two cavalry battalions, so six deputy governors supervise and command the infantry and cavalry respectively. Under the unified leadership and command of the legionary governor, they are responsible for the specific combat affairs of infantry and cavalry.

The specific division of labor was Shi Bao, Wen Qin, Qian Hong as the cavalry governor, Ma Long, Wang Jun and Liu Jing as the infantry governors, each performing his duties.

The large-scale reorganization of the Bingzhou Army has inspired the combat potential of the Bingzhou Army to the greatest extent. As a famous general of a generation, Deng Ai, Yang Hu and Du Yu only asked them to command a combat force of 15,000 people. It was purely a feeling of being useless. Cao Liang knew very well that with their abilities, they were all talents to rule the country and stabilize the country. He had always served as a battalion general before, and he was really a bit insignificant.

Only by providing them with a broader platform can they stimulate the potential of their famous generals and be truly famous all over the world.

Leading and commanding 80,000 and 15,000 people are not the same concept. Even if you have great abilities, you cannot carry out your troops. You can only follow the arrangements above and cannot take on the task of independent combat.

If we command an army of 80,000, the concept is completely different. Eighty thousand troops are enough to undertake a large-scale battle. These 80,000 people will no longer be a single infantry or cavalry, but an army with both infantry and cavalry, and several logistics support units. The leading generals will have greater autonomy and decision-making power, and can fully demonstrate their abilities.

After the establishment of the three major legions, Cao Liang will also transform from a tactical commander into a strategic planner. He no longer needs to consider the details of a certain battle. Everything is left to Deng Ai, Yang Hu, Du Yu and others to deal with. Cao Liang only needs to consider strategic matters.

He is responsible for everything himself. Although it is a serious and responsible attitude, he will handle everything alone. It would be strange if he doesn't get tired of himself. Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, was just exhausted by himself. Cao Liang didn't have to put a large group of capable ministers and generals under his command. He did everything himself and lived like Zhuge Liang. He was too tired.

Only by learning to let go can Cao Liang truly liberate himself. Cao Liang is no longer the little Jinyiwei on duty at the gate of the palace, nor the Yueqi lieutenant who commands 700 cavalry, nor the governor of a state. He has an army of nearly 300,000 and a vast area of ​​the three major prefectures of Youji. He can no longer manage these armies and areas with his previous thinking.

Next, the war will continue, and the area controlled by Cao Liang will become larger and larger. As a superior, Cao Liang must learn how to control people and let people do things, and he only needs to control people.

Deng Ai, Yang Hu and Du Yu followed him for many years, lived and died, made many achievements, and won his trust. Therefore, Cao Liang was relieved and bold in handing over all the troops to them. Of course, Cao Liang would not just be the boss, and they would command the specific battles, while Cao Liang took charge of the overall situation and planned the plan. However, it could not be completely ruled out that Cao Liang was involved in specific combat affairs. If necessary, Cao Liang would still go to the front line and command the battle.

The establishment of the three field legions was an epoch-making transformation for the Bingzhou Army, which also indicates that the Bingzhou Army will kick off the strategic counterattack from then on, and sound the horn to launch a general attack on the Sima family. The battle to cross the river is about to begin, and the end of the Sima family is about to come.
