Chapter 154: Misunderstanding
Within three days, Nanyang County Shou Guo Mu came to the turbulent construction site.
Now the embankment is about to close, the main channel is being dredged one after another, and the fields near the main channel are being prepared and sown.
When he came, Tian Xin was reorganizing the army, Liu Bei did not want the Huya Army to be disbanded, but the new army lacked the backbone of military officials, so the Huya Army was dismantled two-thirds, and these two-thirds were used as the backbone to absorb the surrendered army and expand the establishment.
According to the statistics before and after, there were seven battalions of the Northern Army, 20 battalions of the four armies of Huya, Yingyang, Anzhong, and Yangwu, a total of 27 battalions, and a total of more than 21,000 officers.
When Guo Mu came, Tian Xin was weighing a problem, according to the practice of the main general's personal soldiers for one-tenth of the army, he could have a reasonable personal guard with as little as 500 and as much as 2,000.
The source of soldiers is not a problem, but the problem is the promotion of the officers of the pro-soldier team. Their beheadings and merits are counted on Tian Xin's head, and the bereavement pension does not need to be declared, and Tian Xin takes care of it himself.
Based on this principle, during the Battle of Wankou, Tian Xin led more than 200 cavalry to attack Changdiao's headquarters, and it was Tian Xin's personal prisoner who surrendered the army.
This batch of captives has its particularities, not to mention others, even Liu Bei and Guan Yu will not ask.
If Wang Zhi had been appointed as the battalion governor early, Wang Zhi would have been able to avoid death in battle, and the battalion governor had a guard of about 50 people, and unless there was a crushing defeat and order collapsed, the officers above the battalion governor could often escape the battlefield safely.
Cruel military law, the guards have the responsibility to sacrifice themselves to save the main general.
After breakfast, Tian Ji advised when he inspected the river with Tian Xin: "Ashin, the army is the Han army after all, and today's military law is becoming more and more rigorous, and Ashin must show the tiger talisman if he wants to transfer a team of soldiers and horses." The five armies Tiger Fu Right Que are all in his hands, and Ashin can easily transfer troops, but if the Tiger Fu Right Que is handed over after the war, how to transfer troops for emergency? β
The beacon is urgent, so naturally there is no need to meet the tiger talisman, and you can go quickly.
The urgency in Tian Ji's mouth is naturally not to help Tian Xin grab food and things, but to resist as the last resort.
Tian Xin stopped and watched the river, with his hands behind his back: "My original intention is to make my brother serve as a military commander in the province." β
Give up the private soldiers, don't take the entire Northern Expeditionary Army in your hands.
The idea was somewhat naΓ―ve and somewhat foul.
Tian Ji didn't know, thought for a while and said: "I am a general under Ashin's account, who dares to be disrespectful when I walk outside." If it is a military Sima, it must be subject to military law, which is quite unpleasant. Now indulging in the battlefield is something that I didn't dare to think about when I was a teenager. If the husband dies, he will die, and he can indulge happily. β
"If I am lucky enough not to die, with Ashin here, I will also be a county magistrate like the eldest brother of the Yan family."
Seeing this, Tian Xin couldn't insist, so he said: "That brother is the governor of my account, guarding the camp, and when the battle is about to go, he can't rush forward without my order." If my brother is gone, I will not dare to return to Maicheng in this life. β
Tian Jilu smiled and clenched his fists: "Ashin is at ease, who is not afraid of death?" β
If you want to set up a guard, then it will be organized according to the specifications of the main general, and the northern army will be 21,000 people, take one-tenth, and Tian Xin will prepare to form three battalions of guards, two infantry battalions, and one cavalry battalion.
The cavalry battalion is definitely not a full cavalry battalion, there are only more than 400 knights, which is already the most important result of the Battle of Wankou.
The matter was agreed, and when he left the river and returned to the camp, he met Guo Mu, the county guard who had just arrived.
One is an old man who has been with Guan Yu for more than ten years, and the other is about to become Guan Yu's son-in-law, so there is nothing to see.
Under the pergola in the camp, Guo Mu said: "The prince wants to go to Jiangxia to participate in the war, if the prince goes, Nanyang is in danger of being destroyed." β
"I also know what the prince is worried about, so I only led 7,000 soldiers to help the war this time. If we can plant 1,500 hectares of the expected 1,500 hectares, we will get 500,000 stone wheat by the end of the year, and the beans and vegetables will be countless, which will be enough to revive our army's hunger. β
500,000 stones, 20,000 for the Northern Army, 20,000 for the Northern Army, and half of the rations for the 20,000 troops, so the monthly expenditure of military rations is 50,000 stones.
This military cantonment must be completed, and there is no room for obstruction or destruction.
Guo Mu was worried: "Today, the army is in awe of the prince and the marquis, and the prince and the marquis are going east, and I am afraid that no one can deter and comfort the armies." β
Tian Xin was silent and asked rhetorically: "Then I stay at the headquarters of the Northern Army and only lead 2,000 guards?" β
"This is safe, but in this way, the prince may be weak and useless."
Guo Mu said and took out a stack of silk books from his sleeve and gave it to Tian Xin, with a smile on his face: "Nanyang Haoqiang is eagerly looking forward to the prince's expedition to the east, and is willing to marry the prince." β
Tian Xin spread out the silk book, on which was a dense list of materials, which Nanyang Haoqiang collected and paid to him.
There were more than 3,200 slaves, 50,000 stones of millet, 20,000 pieces of cloth, 8,000 silks, 300 cattle and horses, and 200 sheep.
The population sent came from the people who fled in Guanzhong, or the descendants of these people, and the population of more than 3,000 households was at least 10,000.
Guo Mu said: "The army of the prince and the marquis is here, and another 3,000 households are distributed at various intersections and important points, and a grange is set up to patrol and guard against desertion. According to the original intention of Nanyang Haoqiang, the population sent is young and strong, and the prince can recruit troops in it. In this way, the army can be safeguarded. β
Nanyang Haoqiang's army will be 20,000 this time, and one-third of Ding Zhuang will go out, so they are naturally afraid that Tian Xin's army here will change, and they are also afraid that Tian Xin will stay behind and not participate in the Eastern Crusade.
Mobilizing a population of 3,000 households is not only a gesture of goodwill, but also to help Tian Xin suppress the army and prevent trouble before it happens.
People are kind enough to send people and materials, and they really can't bear to refuse.
Tian Xin handed the cloth to Yu Zhong, who was following beside him, and asked, "What else do you have to say?" β
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the prince, and the prince wants to uphold the Han law, which makes it difficult for many heroes to sleep and eat. Today, on the occasion of the imperial court's employment, I hope that the prince and the marquis will understand the hardships of Nanyang. β
Guo Mu smiled casually, he didn't take this matter seriously, he understood this matter as Tian Xin's excuse to coerce and intimidate Nanyang Haoqiang.
If Hao Qiang beats and kills his subordinates, and the slaves are all guilty, how can Hao Qiang control the servants in the family?
How many people really want to be a cow and a horse for Haoqiang?
It was also a critical moment when Nanyang Haoqiang was about to gather manpower to participate in the Eastern Crusade, Tian Xin suddenly said that he wanted to uphold the majesty of Han Law, no matter how you look at it, it is a robbery by fire and a premeditated blackmail.
It is impossible for Nanyang Haoqiang to give up the Eastern Crusade, nor can he abide by the part of the Han law that Tian Xin wants to uphold, nor will he have the opportunity to defect to the north...... So what to do?
Tian Xin made the time card so accurate, and he definitely didn't want to spoil the major events of the Eastern Crusade, and it was not good for Tian Xin himself to uphold the Han law, and the only explanation was that he wanted to take the opportunity to get oil and water.
The matter can be explained clearly, and what Tian Xin wants, and everyone has no better choice, so they have to share and claim it, and make up a sum of materials and population to send to Tian Xin.
Tian Xin is not an ordinary warrior, he is Guan Yu's son-in-law, and he is also the son-in-law of Liu Bei's adopted daughter.
If you don't mention it in the future, if you provoke Tian Xin to be unhappy now, you can bring Nanyang Haoqiang back to life.
Anyway, you have already bought Dahan stocks at a high price, it is difficult to get off the ship, and you can't resist it, and you have to grit your teeth to bear no matter how many grievances you have.
"Since Nanyang Haojie is worried about the hidden dangers in our army, then I will only lead two thousand troops to participate in the war."
Tian Xin made a promise, and looked at the person holding a wooden plate behind Guo Mu, the plate was full of famous thorns, could it be a business card sent by Nanyang Haoqiang?
Shuntian Xin's gaze, Guo Murong explained: "In the north, there are scholars Zhu Jianping, and Yingchuan Xun's family, Chen's children want to visit the prince and marquis to ask questions, and He Yan, the grandson of the former general, wants to settle in Nanyang with his wife. Now they are all waiting in the sun, sending people to send famous thorns and prayers. If the prince replies to the post, he can also go to the invitation as scheduled. β
Everyone is a scholar with status, how can they come up directly?
There should be a ceremony and process, and only when you get the reply to Tian Xin's invitation can you come to visit.
"I don't have anything to say to the people of Kanto and Hebei. The prince sent someone to report back, saying that these famous assassins had been prepared in the army. β
"Uh......"
Guo Mu (βoβ): "Junhou, are there some?" β
"My family, I am also poor, and I can't afford to climb high." Tian Xin laughed: "Fujun, since his generation has surrendered to the thief, he should be killed." β
