Jizhou is Guo Peng's garrison and the base camp of Wei, so the training camp is the largest and the garrison is the largest.

The Wei County camp in Jizhou is set up around Yecheng.

It is said to be a large battalion, but it is better to say that it is a joint camp formed by the combination of several super-large garrison camps, with about 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it is the absolute elite main force of the Wei army.

These 100,000 battalions include 10,000 troops in Hanoi County, which are under the command of the Hanoi garrison and are also counted in the sequence of the Jizhou battalion.

In addition, the Taishan Battalion and the Chenliu Battalion in Yanzhou each have 30,000 resident battalion soldiers, which are also the elite main force of the Wei army, which is equivalent to the battle sequence of the Central Army.

The Taishan battalion was led by the Zhendong general Yu Ban, and the Chenliu battalion was led by the former general Cao Ren.

Therefore, Guo Peng's Central Army is also known as a battalion soldier.

This has the same name as the "battalion soldiers" set up by the Eastern Han government on the border, but it does not have the same meaning.

The battalions set up by the Eastern Han government often had prisoners to fill the army, and the combat effectiveness could not be counted on too much, the number was not large, and the management was not strict.

The total strength of Guo's battalion is around 160,000, and it is often the absolute main force in the battle, and it is their duty to go out on an expedition.

In addition to the battalion is the local garrison army, which is a defensive army led by Guo Peng's unique garrison position, which will only go out when necessary, and the core task is to defend and counterattack.

However, the battalion soldiers and the garrison soldiers were both trained in the large battalions, and their essence was no different, and they were both the Central Army.

Guo Peng ordered that the battalion soldiers and the garrison soldiers would exchange duties with each other at regular intervals, and the battalion soldiers would become garrisons, and the garrisons would become battalions.

The identities of the two will be reversed, but not absolutely.

There is also no fixed change of duties between the garrison and the battalion where the duties are exchanged, and it will only be known when Guo Peng's order is issued.

However, the difference is that when necessary, with Guo Peng's order, the local Taishou or Thorn Shi can command the garrison, but they can never command the battalion.

Youzhou originally had 20,000 garrisons, and Bingzhou originally had 20,000 garrisons.

However, after the Northern Expedition swept away the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei people and won a complete victory, Guo Peng sent 5,000 people from the garrison of Bingzhou to Liaoxi County in Youzhou, and handed them over to the commander of Tianyu, the commander of Tianyu, so that the garrison under Tian Yu increased to 10,000, in preparation for the crusade against Gongsun Du.

The garrison of Qingzhou was all withdrawn after the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, and the quota of 10,000 soldiers was retained, which was reserved for the naval division that was being created.

Tai Shici originally served as the captain of the building ship, commanding 1,000 sailors to train on the sea.

After the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, the number of sailors in the Qingzhou Naval Division had exceeded 5,000, so Guo Peng promoted Tai Shici to the lieutenant general of the Lou Boat, expanding the number of Qingzhou Naval Divisions to 10,000.

Yanzhou was originally a military state where the two training battalions were located, and of course there were garrisons.

After Xuzhou arrived, the garrisons and garrison duties of the counties of Yanzhou were cancelled and included in the Taishan camp.

Subsequently, Guo Peng moved the Taishan camp to Donghai County, Xuzhou, and renamed it Donghai Daying, so as to reduce Yanzhou's heavy military burden and military responsibilities, and also strengthen Guo Peng's power in Xuzhou, and take deep roots in Xuzhou.

There were two garrisons in Yuzhou, set up in Yingchuan County and Runan County.

The Yingchuan garrison was Li Dian's uncle, Li Gan, the general of Wei Jianwei, and the Runan garrison was Guo Lie, the general of Wei Weilie.

There were 10,000 garrisons in Runan and 10,000 garrisons in Yingchuan.

This is the general composition of the defensive line, with the main combat force numbering around 260,000.

However, there is not only one kind of combat soldier in the military composition, but also the auxiliary army occupies a relatively important position, and the well-known fire head soldier is a type of auxiliary soldier, and the definition of auxiliary soldiers in different eras and dynasties is also different.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the army was divided into three types: the upper army, the middle army and the lower army.

The upper army is the main force of battle, the middle army is responsible for garrisoning, and the lower army is responsible for errands, which is equivalent to auxiliary troops.

Under the national type of military service system in the Western Han Dynasty, recruits can only do some garrison and miscellaneous work in one year, which is equivalent to auxiliary soldiers, and soldiers in two years can fight and belong to combat soldiers.

Under Guo Peng's command, in recent years, the definition of auxiliary soldiers has been relatively simple, which means miscellaneous soldiers, firefighters and recruits in training who volunteer to work in the barracks.

In addition to the formal combat troops, because Guo Peng implemented a conscription system, it was open to recruit people to enlist in the army all year round.

The Wei County Battalion, the Chenliu Battalion, and the Donghai Battalion are all eligible to accept recruits, and all recruits will be arranged to train in these three battalions after enlistment.

The training period is basically one year, and only those who are allowed to go to the battlefield after one year are allowed to go to the battlefield, and the recruits who cannot go to the battlefield for training within the one-year period are all auxiliary soldiers.

They were to serve as auxiliaries in battle, carrying food and other supplies for the army together with the men who had been drafted up.

In addition to recruits and fireheads, there were also professional auxiliaries who volunteered to come to the barracks for miscellaneous work.

Generally, they are the little ones who are older, over 36 years old, or under the age of 18 years old.

Either to earn a living or to join the army on the basis of earning a living, they will choose to come to the barracks to apply for a position as a miscellaneous servant and do chores for the army.

In peacetime, it is the duty of auxiliary soldiers to fetch water, chop wood, boil hot water, wash clothes, etc., transport materials in wartime, send materials directly to the front line in case of emergency, and risk their lives to support combat soldiers.

Their treatment is not as good as that of combat soldiers, but they are also well fed, and they can still get a small amount of military salaries, and they are rewarded for their meritorious service.

The total number of auxiliary soldiers in the three battalions was basically maintained at 70,000 or 80,000, and counting the combat soldiers, there were more than 300,000 people engaged in military work, and the total number of Wei troops exceeded 300,000.

Guo Peng has been expanding his army in recent years to meet military and garrison needs, and it is expected that the number of combat soldiers will be expanded to at least 300,000, so as to generally ensure his needs.

Especially now, when the general trend of the world is gradually becoming clear, it may even be attacked by the southern warlord forces, and when Guo Peng concentrates his main force to crusade against the Kansai warlords, the number of troops is quite important.

With enough population and productivity, the number of troops must also keep up, otherwise wouldn't it be a wedding dress for other people?

This kind of thing Guo wouldn't do.

The 30,000 troops deployed on the front-line Linjiang defense line in Yangzhou and Xuzhou were enough to deter Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce didn't have to fight Liu Biao now, and could concentrate on developing internally or going north, the strong deterrence of the 30,000 Wei army was also very strong.

However, Sun Ce is so rigid, if he really pats his head and takes the initiative to forge ahead while Guo Peng's main force is in Guanzhong, it will not be an impossible thing to happen.

Not to mention Sun Ce, even Liu Biao may be forced to go north, although in terms of Liu Biao's character, it may be more likely to be defensive.

As for Liu Zhang, Guo Peng thought it was a bit interesting.

The information obtained before said that Pang Xi, the powerful minister of Yizhou, was a powerful and prosperous person, and the internal instability of Yizhou, which was stirred, was now in the Northern Expedition to Hanzhong, and it is still unknown whether Liu Zhang will agree to Liu Biao, although it is very likely.

If Liu Zhang really agreed to Liu Biao, then Jing Yiyang's integration of the three states would indeed be a bit troublesome.

Unlike Jingzhou and Yangzhou, Guo Peng has the political means to restrain them, Yizhou, which really has no foundation at all, and he doesn't even know anyone.

Moreover, the terrain of Yizhou, the world has not been settled, and the world has not been chaotic and Shu is chaotic, so it must be put at the end and solved by military means.

Let's put Yizhou behind, and the affairs of Jingzhou and Jiangdong should be put first.
