(I've been in poor health for a while, and the quality of the update is not good, so I apologize to my friends.) ）

The actual situation is that if he can, he is willing to let Zheng Fei send all the Heavenly Dao troops to the northwest to participate in the war, but he can't do this, because the more troops left in Jingdong Road, the more scruples the imperial court will have, and the safer the army will be, without worrying about them encountering the black hands of the imperial court after leaving Jingdong Road.

Therefore, after a comprehensive weighing, he gave the condition of 30,000 people, 30,000 people is a balance point that can not only ensure considerable combat effectiveness, but also allow the 150,000 Heavenly Dao troops left on Jingdong Road to have enough deterrent power.

And when Cai You's performance had just left the prison palace, Zheng Fei had already begun to prepare, and the first question he had to face was who to send to the northwest.

The Xixia people take the Dangxiang clan as the main body, the Dangxiang people have been martial since ancient times, and the clansmen are fierce and rude, brave and good at fighting, and the Liao State in the strong period is helpless against them. This time the Western Xia people thought they had seized a golden opportunity, and almost tried their best to attack the Great Song Dynasty, dispatching 400,000 elites, and it is said that their heavily armored cavalry "Iron Crow" also participated in the battle, which is also an important reason why the Western army has resisted so far, they are not the Great Song Army that has rotted from top to bottom, but a real army, a group of extremely strong warriors! Sending troops to fight them is also the most difficult and treacherous battle of the Heavenly Dao Army since its establishment! Therefore, Zheng Fei must send the true elite of the Heavenly Dao Army to complete this "journey of atonement". At the same time, this is also a rare opportunity to test the true quality of the Heavenly Dao Army and see if the Heavenly Dao Army really has the strength to fight against the powerful grassland captives!

After thinking about it, Zheng Fei decided to send two generals to lead his subordinates to the northwest to participate in the war, one was Pang Wanchun, Pang Wanchun had been in the northwest for a long time, and was very familiar with the northwest and Western Xia, and the independent army in his hands was the absolute elite of the Tiandao army, and the combat effectiveness was unsurpassed in the Tiandao army.

The other is Liu Fa, Liu Fa is the general of the Western Army, and it is an eternal nightmare in the eyes of the Xixia people, the name of "Liu Zhanshen" resounded in the northwest, if he returned to the northwest battlefield, just listening to his name is enough to make the Xixia people unable to sleep.

Zheng Fei told Wu Yong his thoughts and wanted to hear his opinion.

Wu Yong pondered for a long time before saying, "Commander Pang and the Independent Army don't need to say much, they are the pride of our Heavenly Dao Army, and the whole army is also loyal to the commander, and all 20,000 people will be sent out." But...... Liu Fa...... Please also think twice about the commander-in-chief. ”

Zheng Fei understood what Wu Yong meant, after all, Liu Fa had just returned to the Heavenly Dao Army not long ago, even if the Western Army raised a butcher's knife against the Eastern Expeditionary Army under the command of Liu Zhengyan, but with the recruitment of the Heavenly Dao Army, Liu Fa and the Western Army's betrayal of the Great Song Dynasty and everything he did after the betrayal of the Great Song Dynasty have been pardoned, speaking of which, Liu Fa and the Sixth Army are already innocent, if Liu Fa returns to the northwest, he will definitely re-contact with the Western Army, and it is difficult to say whether the imperial court will rebel against Liu Fa again, and whether Liu Fa can continue to maintain loyalty to the Heavenly Dao Army.

But Zheng Fei also has his confidence, he said to Wu Yong that this confidence is the word "dignity", and he can give Liu Fa and the Western Army the dignity that the Great Song Dynasty can't give!

Zheng Fei had talked to many of Liu Fa's subordinates, through whom he understood the northwest and the Western army, and through his conversations with them, in addition to hearing their anger at being betrayed by the Hebei army, he also heard their dissatisfaction with the Great Song Dynasty, and the most dissatisfied point was the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty towards the martial artists, and they simply did not regard the martial artists as human beings.

How the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty are not regarded as people, just look at the grade of the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty,

The three yamen of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army each set up a commander envoy, a deputy commander and a capital Yu Hou, among which the front of the palace is the highest level of command envoy, which is from the second grade. The deputy commander is the fourth grade, and further down, the commander and deputy commander of the guard horse and the infantry division are only the five grades, and the three are only from the five grades.

That is to say, in the entire high-level of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, there is only one from the second grade, one from the fourth grade, two from the fifth grade, and three from the fifth grade, and one pair of hands can be counted.

Another example is the general, who is the leader of the forbidden army, and the more powerful subordinates can have tens of thousands of horses, but I'm sorry, the general is only from the seventh grade, not even the seventh grade!

This is the treatment of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, it is simply ridiculously low! There are many soldiers who have fought bloodily for the Great Song Dynasty all their lives, fought all their lives, and climbed out of the pile of dead people many times, but in the end they didn't even catch a grade. You can imagine how low the military treatment of the Great Song Dynasty is!

In such an environment, what status can the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have? Not to mention the right to speak or make decisions, they can only obey the command of the civilian commander like the walking dead, if they are lucky, they can meet a military-minded, and if they are unlucky, they will be a dead end.

This is not over, the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty shed blood and sweat, desperately protecting the Great Song Dynasty, but the credit is often the literati commander, the literati commander will also desperately deduct the military salary of the warriors, desperately squeeze the blood and sweat of the warriors, and use all the means that can make a fortune, in the end, the literati commander has made enough money, patted his ass and left, and was promoted to make a fortune, but the warriors can still only continue to fight in the dark, continue to struggle at the bottom of the Great Song Dynasty, continue to protect the territory for the Great Song Dynasty, continue to use life and flesh to create military exploits for civilian officials, and continue to be squeezed flesh and blood. Day after day, year after year! They are just a dog of the Great Song Dynasty, they will pull it out and bite it when they are used, and they will be locked up when they are not needed, and they can just lose a bone and starve to death, without dignity and hope at all. The warriors of the Great Song Dynasty have long had a deep grudge against this, but they dare not speak out.

And now after these soldiers of the Western Army came to the Heavenly Dao Army, everything about the Heavenly Dao Army made them feel extremely novel, the treatment of the Heavenly Dao Army, the respect of the Heavenly Dao Army, here, they really felt the pride of being a martial artist!

Zheng Fei could see from the deep gratitude they showed in their conversation with them that they liked it and cherished everything they had given them, including their dignity!

Of course, only "dignity" is far from enough, Zheng Fei has other considerations, first of all, all of Liu Fa's family members are already on Jingdong Road, and he has to weigh everything he does.

Secondly, after this period of bombing "education", the Western Army has almost assimilated from top to bottom by the Heavenly Dao Army.

In addition, it is impossible for all the 30,000 Western Army to be sent to the northwest, Zheng Fei is only ready to send 10,000 people, and the selection of these 10,000 people is also particular, when Liu Fa secretly returned to the northwest, he only took himself and the families of several generals to the east and west of Beijing, and the families of a large number of low-level officers and ordinary soldiers still stayed in the northwest.

Later, Zheng Fei sent people to the northwest to secretly investigate and found that with the rebellion of the Western Army, the Great Song Dynasty searched for the families of several high-ranking officers such as Liu Fa to no avail, so they vented their anger on the families of these low-level officers and ordinary soldiers, and many people were implicated and killed, and they were extremely miserable.

After Zheng Fei spread the news, the soldiers of the Western Army were all extremely sad and angry, and they hated the Great Song Dynasty with itchy teeth, so the 10,000 people sent to the northwest should be selected from these people.

After listening to Zheng Fei's analysis, Wu Yongmao suddenly opened his mouth and said that he completely agreed with the commander's opinion.
