Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1115 Reorganization
The reason why we talk about Li Yanchao is because he had been serving in the Left Cavalry Army led by He Zhonghu.

He Zhonghu also highly regarded this person.

Recently, he suddenly requested to be transferred to Zhou Kang's Right Cavalry Army to serve as Zhou Kang's deputy.

This incident made Yan Wenluan very angry.

Unlike Yan Wenluan's anger, Xu Fengnian realized that the military system of the Beiliang Army was imperative.

Li Yanchao's transfer is not an isolated case, but represents a large group of Northern Liang border army generals.

They are ambitious, have made outstanding military achievements, and are bent on climbing up. Li Mofan and Cao Xiaojiao are both like this. These people are similar to Yan Wenluan and He Zhonghu, but also different.

Xu Fengnian still has a tolerant attitude towards this.

After all, it is impossible to expect everyone to be as indifferent to fame and fortune as Liu Jinu.

Moreover, with the war approaching, it is not a bad thing to be ambitious.

Liyang set up twelve permanent generals, four for expedition, four for town and four for peace. The general with the character "Zheng" had the highest rank, being of the second rank, equivalent to the six ministers. The generals with the character "Zhen" were of both the second and third rank, and the generals with the character "Ping" were all of the third rank.

According to the etiquette system, a vassal king's territory could not have a title comparable to that of a general with a "Zhen" character. At most, it could be equal to that of a general with a "Ping" character. For example, the commander-in-chief of a state's military affairs was of the third rank.

But in Beiliang Road, the situation is very different.

He Zhonghu, Zhou Kang, Chen Yunchui and other deputy commanders of cavalry and infantry, like the two main commanders Yan Wenluan and Yuan Zuozong, were all second-rank military generals, only half a rank lower than the Protector General of Northern Liang, Chu Lushan.

Therefore, in Beiliang, especially after the new Beiliang King Xu Fengnian shot arrows at Tai'an City, the position of deputy commander of the cavalry was comparable to the positions of four expeditions and four garrisons.

Almost all the young and strong generals of Beiliang are staring at these coveted positions, waiting for the time when the old men in their respective armies will retire so that it will be their turn to move forward. Not to mention sitting on the top two chairs under Yan Wenluan and Yuan Zuozong, one day they may become the commander-in-chief of the left and right cavalry armies, or go to the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, or at least leave the border army and become a general of a state. All of these are good ways.

Therefore, when the King of Xinliang promoted some "outsiders" without any restrictions, it undoubtedly made people feel uneasy.

Especially with the rapid rise of Yue Pengju, Yu Luandao and others, Huangfu Ping, Han Laoshan and Shi Fu each took up the posts of generals of the three states, and Yue Pengjun followed closely behind as the Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate. In this way, there would be much less hope and desire.

In order to plan for the future of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian must reform the military system.

Here, we have to talk about Xu Fengnian’s current prestige in Beiliang.

The eldest son of Ren Tu, a great martial arts master, who killed Wang You Tianren who dominated the world four hundred years ago.

In the Battle of Liuzhou, relying only on the Dragon Elephant Army and the Liuzhou refugee army, they overturned the Tibingshan army formation of Dong Zhuo, the King of the Nanyuan of Beimang.

Afterwards, he rushed thousands of miles to Hulukou and defeated the 50,000 elite cavalry led by Dong Zhuo.

He personally led 30,000 Beiliang cavalry and broke through the Heji defense line carefully built by Li Yang in less than a month.

He traveled across the north and south, shot arrows at Tai'an City, and treated Liyang as nothing, successively defeating Liyang's army of nearly 400,000.

He ruthlessly avenged Beiliang for the humiliation from Li Yang that had accumulated over more than ten years.

The people of Beiliang value martial arts, and the border troops value military achievements the most. Xu Fengnian's prestige is enough to convince all the Beiliang troops.

This was before, when he confronted Chen Zhibao in the courtyard and King Yan appeared.

When his true identity was revealed, the prestige of the young King of Beiliang reached an unprecedented level.

He transformed into a page of book and killed the dragon in Chunshen Lake. He exterminated the culprit of the White Clothes Case in the capital outside Tiemen Pass, killed Wang Xianzhi, defeated Tuoba Bodhisattva, and undoubtedly became the number one on the Xinping Martial Arts Review List.

Ao Xiao Hong Chen fought alone against the ten great masters of Li Yang and Bei Mang, leaving behind a legendary record of eight deaths, one disabled and one injured, and then chased Xie Yingguan for thousands of miles.

The last incarnation is King Yan, who is extremely intelligent and has great strategic plans. Beiliang is now strong, which is inseparable from his plans.

Xu Fengnian alone occupies the top four places on the martial arts ranking list, looking like a martial arts legend.

Against this background, Xu Fengnian's plan to push forward military reform was naturally very successful.

Xu Fengnian combined the suggestions of Xu Weixiong, Chen Xiliang, Xu Beizhi and others, and consulted with veteran generals such as Yan Wenluan, and a brand new Beiliang Army system was thus created.

The military officer ranks from high to low are: first-rank General of the Cavalry, second-rank General of the Auxiliary State, second-rank General of the Zhenjun Army, third-rank General of the Champion Army, General of Huaihua, third-rank General of Huaihua, third-rank General of the Yunhui Army, General of Guide, third-rank General of Guide, fourth-rank General of the Zhongwu Army, fourth-rank General of the Zhuangwu Army, General of Huaihua, fourth-rank General of the Xuanwei Army, fourth-rank General of the Mingwei Army, General of the Guide Army, fifth-rank General of the Dingyuan Army, fifth-rank General of the Dingyuan Army, General Ningyuan, Langjiang of Huaihua, General of Upper Cavalry from the fifth rank, General of Lower Guerrilla from the fifth rank, Langjiang of Guide, Sixth rank Upper Zhaowu Colonel, Sixth rank Lower Zhaowu Vice-Captain, Huaihua Sijie, Sixth rank Upper Zhenwei Colonel, Sixth rank Lower Zhenwei Vice-Captain, Guide Sijie, Seventh rank Upper Zhiguo Colonel, Seventh rank Lower Zhiguo Vice-Captain, Huaihua Zhonghou, Seventh rank Upper Yihui Colonel, Seventh rank Lower Yihui Vice-Captain, Guide Zhonghou, Eighth rank Upper Xuanjie Colonel, Eighth rank Lower Xuanjie Vice-Captain, Huaihua Sige

, from the eighth rank upper lieutenant of the Imperial Defense Force, from the eighth rank lower lieutenant of the Imperial Defense Force, Guide Sige, the ninth rank upper lieutenant of the Renyong Force, the ninth rank lower lieutenant of the Renyong Force, Huaihua Jichang Shang, the ninth rank upper lieutenant of the Peirong Force, from the ninth rank lower lieutenant of the Peirong Force, Guide Jichang Shang.

The official positions are more detailed than those in Li Yang, with nine grades and thirty ranks including Zheng, Jun, Shang and Xia.

It mainly combines casual officials with real positions. For example, the first-grade military position is called General of Cavalry, which is a casual military official.

To put it simply, the title of Wu San Guan was a nominal position granted to military generals with outstanding merits for the sake of honor.

As mentioned before, Yan Wenluan was transferred to the rank of second-rank general of the garrison army and took the post of commander-in-chief of the infantry.

The Grand Commander of the Infantry was a staff official, ranked second grade, with real power and duties.

Another example is Yue Pengju, who was transferred to the rank of General Huaihua, a third-grade general, and was appointed as the Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate.

Wu Jieping was transferred to the rank of General Yunhui, third grade, and appointed as the deputy governor of the Parthian Protectorate.

In conjunction with the previously implemented military system of the Fubing system adapted from Liyang, the new military system of Beiliang was officially introduced.

This means that Beiliang has officially cut ties with Liyang.

As long as we conquer Beimang and produce results in Baima Academy, we can start to reform the civil service system, and Beiliang will no longer be in trouble.

Unlike Beiliang, who is full of confidence and eager to make progress, Li Yang has been in a state of panic and at a loss during this period.

After Xu Fengnian led his troops, Jingji, Jing'an and other places suffered varying degrees of losses, so they went to Hezhou, an important border area.

Li Yang had to both pacify the local area and expand military resources to deal with the aggressive Western Chu.
