In March, the spring breeze warmed up, and all units of the Jinyang army were ready to go.

This time, it was not the army of the two states that poured out of the nest, but it was undoubtedly the most powerful army since Li Po led the army.

More than 30,000 cavalry troops and nearly 60,000 infantry troops formed the entire southward army.

Needless to say, the composition of the cavalry army has been expanded again since returning from the northward steppe last year, and more and more Turkic people have entered the cavalry army.

It is an indisputable fact that the Turks are born cavalry in the north, and their potential in the border areas is gradually exhausted, and the population is also greatly reduced.

After some training, these Turkic people were able to quickly adapt to military life, but they still had various instinctive resistance to the strict military discipline.

After this expansion, the cavalry army, in the end, will have to go through the test of war.

In terms of troops, when Li Po led his army north to Yunzhong that day, he almost transferred all the cavalry headquarters of the two states to form a cavalry army of more than 30,000.

Now more than 30,000 cavalry troops gathered in Jinyang, but there is still room for defenders everywhere, which shows the rapid expansion of the cavalry army in northern Jin in the second half of the fourteenth year of the great cause.

Compared to the cavalry, the expansion of the infantry army was even more severe.

The composition of the infantry army was divided into several parts.

The army is based on the old foundation of the Heng'an Town Army, the expansion of the infantry army brigade and the Youzhou infantry as the core of the establishment, which is supplemented by the Tang army and the soldiers of the two states.

In more than a year, the infantry army under Li Po's command has been overturned.

Li Po didn't know what the combat strength was, but the infantry generals under him were full of confidence, not for anything else, just because of the Tang Army, most of the rest of the soldiers had gone through the baptism of the Battle of Liaodong.

This may be the most precious and only gift left by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to the Central Plains Empire during his third expedition to Goguryeo.

Of course, this gift also exudes a strong smell of blood, if it weren't for these Great Sui soldiers who returned from Liaodong, the world might not be as chaotic as it is now, right?

What they brought to the anti-kings everywhere was the experience of the Sui army's expeditions, which helped them train more elite soldiers, so that the rebel army began to defeat the officers and soldiers one after another, and saw the dawn of the world.

As one of the princes, Li Po is actually no exception.

The Heng'an Town Army Infantry Army when he started is the most typical example, and the people who began to help him lay the foundation were all Shandong and Hebei people who followed him all the way back to Yunnei from the east wind and snow in Liaodong.

Later, he entered Hebei to quell the rebellion under Yang Yichen, and when the Wei Chi brothers surrendered, the infantry of the Heng'an Town Army was basically formed.

At that time, Ma Yi was undoubtedly the world of cavalry, and the infantry army was only in its infancy.

When Li Po led the army to defeat Luo Yi and moved the people of Youzhou into the three counties of Daizhou, the infantry army finally ushered in the opportunity to expand.

Not to mention that the Yanmen Tower annoying defenders have joined in one after another, and the talent reduction in Youzhou is the main source of army expansion.

Youzhou foot soldiers are fierce, already famous all over the world, and Youzhou is also the starting point of the conquest of Liaodong, countless Youzhou soldiers blood stained Liaodong City, but there are also many Youzhou soldiers back to their homeland.

The first expansion of the infantry army was actually to recruit Youzhou soldiers and government soldiers.

The second expansion was the surrender of the Tang army.

In fact, there is no need to say much about this kind of surrender and rebellion, in troubled times, almost everyone who is really willing to die will lose their heads, and most of the rest are wall grass.

Don't look at Li Po who has been talking about loyalty, but he also understands in his heart that loyalty has always been a powerful appendage, and betrayal seems to be the nature of human beings.

The Tang Army's subordinates are indeed not very stable, and when the battle is about to occur, deserters may appear, but if it is said to be a large-scale rebellion, it is a matter of no shadow.

When the Tang army soldiers were captured, he also did a lot, removing the Tang army generals, and picking out those who were unwilling to continue to serve in the army, and filling in the civilian nationality.

As for all kinds of means of appeasing the morale of the military, not to mention.

Most of the Tang soldiers who are from Bingzhou don't have much choice, and loyalty is undoubtedly a luxury for ordinary soldiers, they didn't take the lead in making waves, and there were not many things to remember before, as long as they can feed themselves and bring some back to their families, for them, there is no betrayal.

In fact, it was also in the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, and the reaction of the Tang army after that, which gave Li Po the impression that the Tang army was nothing more than that.

The cohesion is not good, let alone the soul of the army, and the attraction of Li Tang to the gate lord clan when he rose obviously cannot be reflected from these ordinary soldiers.

The reason why the Tang army was able to capture Chang'an like a devastating state was not how strong the Tang army was, but that the enemy had a problem.

Of course, as time goes by, if more resources are occupied and can be used well, the gap between Li Tang and the other princes will gradually widen.

But now, they are just a short distance from the starting line.

Li Pozhao generals of all ministries went to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters, such a military meeting in front of the station, say that it is important, it must be important, who is the striker, who is the rearguard, and who is unlucky to escort the grain and grass, will be announced here.

It's not important, but it's not that important, because everyone has already known it in their hearts before, and such an important thing will not leave a suspense for you to guess or let the big guy get into a quarrel.

The Tang army surrendered and added 2,000 cavalry troops to escort grain, grass and ordnance, and when discussing in the Wei Mansion, someone proposed to recruit people's husbands, and Li Po personally refused.

In addition, he personally promised the people of the two states that he would be exempted from taxes and forced labor for three years, and exempt the state from money and grain for two years.

Moreover, in the long run, it is extremely unwise to levy the people's husbands, the death of the Great Sui will die on the conscription, the people of the world are afraid of servitude like tigers, and now the wars are so frequent, if the conscription of the servants is continuous, it will be on behalf of the two states, and sooner or later they will be defeated.

The future of conscription and conscription is the next step.

If it weren't for the fact that the troops were in a bit of a hurry, Li Po wanted to get some people from the Turkic prisoners of war in Mayi to transport grain, grass and baggage.

Therefore, in terms of transportation logistics, they have all become soldiers and serious escorts.

The two Simas of the Governor's Mansion, Xue Wanjun and Wang Qing, have become the chief of logistics, that is, there is no shortage of pack horses, otherwise, the infantry army will almost have to become grain transport officers.

After that, no one had any objections, for such a long time, everyone knew that the manager "loves the people like a son", and the strong heart of peace made the martial artists feel a little uncomfortable.

The vanguard of the infantry army is the department of Yuwen Wok, and this Tang army surrenderer was reused in this battle, so that Xue Wanche, Wei Chixin and others were a little dissatisfied, but they also knew the considerations of the general manager.

Yuwen Wok is dedicated to the elm, it is a great achievement, the reward is not outstanding, and now it is a heavy responsibility, in addition to the consideration of convincing people's hearts, I am afraid that it also has the meaning of considering its loyalty and talent.

Everyone almost came over like this, but they could understand it, so they fought for a while, and when they saw that the manager had made up their minds, they had nothing to say.

The infantry army was led by Chen Yuan, and the Wei Chi brothers were divided into two armies.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the cavalry, it can be said that there are many talents, with Luo Shixin and Wang Zhibi each leading 2,000 cavalry as the sharp, Wei Chigong, and the infantry group each leading 5,000 soldiers and horses as the left, Xue Wanche as the middle officer, Ashina Jihu as the auxiliary, and Liu Jingsheng as the rear.

Of course, Li Po will sit in the Chinese army and become the center of the entire army.

In fact, it is not enough to talk about the mixing of infantry and cavalry, the Daizhou cavalry is too strong, and the battle achievements are brilliant, each of them is not easy to provoke, and the infantry generals can't compete with them at all now.

And the current left and right guards are also formed with the cavalry generals as the core, and when the battle starts, the cavalry is happy, except for the siege and defense of the city, it is estimated that there is nothing to do with the infantry army.

These arrangements were all completed in the military meetings held in January and February, and no one except Li Po himself could change these results.

This last military meeting was more like a lecture platform tailored for Li Po.

The generals arrived one after another, and the inside and outside of the governor's mansion were full of soldiers standing with swords, which could be described as murderous and heavily guarded.

Li Po, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the leading generals with helmets and crowns, and listened to the sound of metal friction from time to time.

To this day, the soldiers are in hand, and the warriors are gathered, not to mention the Tang army in the south, even when the Turks came, he could also fight with them heartily.

This is the achievement of his military leadership for several years, the southern and northern wars, and it has always been strong, elite and obedient to his military forces......

(Monthly passes, monthly passes, some book friends always feel that the protagonist's innovation ability is not enough, especially in weapons and tactics, Ah Cao has actually explained a lot in the previous article, which is a more reasonable situation.)

Don't say anything else, this is the war period at the end of the Sui Dynasty, since the protagonist entered the Heng'an Town Army, there is a war every year, and it's not easy to eat a full stomach, you let him reform technology?

Let's just say now, with two states and almost four counties, do book lovers think the place is big enough and the population is large enough? Is it enough to support your unbridled innovations?

In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty also lasted for about six or seven years, and after the wars were written, Ah Cao himself felt more and more that it was a hell on earth, and the people's lives were light, and there was still time to innovate?

Of course, Ah Cao writes an online article, not history, and it is inevitable to open a gold finger, but from the beginning of blood, Ah Cao is trying to write more reasonable, if you really come up with a hot weapon, I read that more than half of the book friends will think about abandoning the book, right?
