Chapter 45: The lineup is luxurious
In response to Pei Min's letter of less than two crosses, Chengzong asked his son to respectfully reply to a long letter of more than 5,000 words, describing his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and showing that the contradiction with Li Zhongxian was just a small question left over from history, and they had solved it by themselves, so there was no need for Pei Min to worry about it.
At the same time, he also expressed his respect for Pei Min in the letter, and words of admiration can be said to be endless.
Not only that, but also sent Pei Min ten BMW horses.
Pei Min also smiled when he read the letter, not only for the literary style of Emperor Fu, but also for Chengzong's knowledge of advancing and retreating.
Hui is Hui Hui, who has learned the lessons of the Turks and Xue Yantuo, and is very appropriate in advancing and retreating.
Respect, Pei Min saw the meaning of fear here.
As a grassland people, Hui respects him as a general of the Tang Dynasty?
Pei Min didn't believe it.
It's just a beautiful word for respect instead of fear to describe it, and how frightened they are, how much respect they will show.
Looking at the posture, the shadow you have left on them is not small?
I'm afraid that in their lifetime, they won't dare to jump again, right?
Pei Min put the letter away.
As for what happened after his death, he didn't think much about it.
A hundred years later, the Tang Dynasty really wanted to bully the Hui Dynasty, which was also the incompetence of the descendants, and they were ashamed of their ancestors.
There is no eternal dynasty in this world, Pei Min really wants the Huaxia Dynasty to prosper from generation to generation, and there will be no more slaughter like Manjin and Mengyuan, but many times the reality is cruel.
No matter how great a person is, he can't care about everything after death......
Pei Min has a clear conscience in his life, which is enough.
Hui Fu's interest made Pei Min once again devote his mind to the sorting out of armaments.
In response to the previous war with Arabia, Pei Min realized some of the shortcomings faced by the Tang army.
The tactics of the Arab arms are another system, and they also have their uniqueness, and the Tang army has dealt with the tactics honed in the Tubo, Turkic, and Turkic cavalry or civil wars.
The last time was a beach-grabbing landing, and the killer camel cavalry of the Arabs did not come in handy.
The next time the Arabs will definitely change their strategy, and will not give the Tang Dynasty a chance to take advantage of it.
It is necessary to be prepared in advance.
People have no long-term plans, and they must have near-term worries.
There is also this truth in Li Jing's art of war, the real commander should not think about winning the current victory, but about the next battle.
When the next battle will come, Pei Min is not clear.
But there is no doubt that Pei Min has already prepared for it.
Now Pei Min is the envoy of Longyou and Hexi Jiedu, and the capital of Anxi is the protector of the capital, and he has soldiers and horses in the four towns of Longyou, Hexi, Beiting and Anxi.
Among them, there were 73,000 Hexi Army, 80,000 Longyou Army, 25,000 Anxi Army, and 25,000 Beiting Army.
That is to say, now, Pei Min already holds the power of 200,000 troops in the northwest.
This does not include the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions, as the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Pei Min has the right to call the soldiers of the Western Regions Countries.
As the king of Wuwei County, no one can shake the throne of Pei Min, the first marshal.
Zhang Shoujue, who is as famous as Pei Min in the northeast, is now just the governor of Youzhou, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, holding 37,000 Pinglu troops and 30,000 Youzhou troops, which is far from Pei Min.
Pei Min looked at the situation sent by the Quartet.
Wang Zhongsi was in Qinghai Lake, did a good job, arranged soldiers and horses in various key points, established walled fortresses, and the soldiers under his command were the Longyou Army trained by Pei Min at the earliest, and the military quality was excellent.
"Transfer Kendrick out, and then transfer Hun Shizhi to Qinghai Lake. Kendrick is familiar with Western tactics, and it is of great use for me to stay by my side, Hun Shizhi has lived in Qinghai Lake since he was a child, and he and his soldiers are all Tuyuhun people, who are not afraid of altitude sickness on Qinghai Lake, and are more suitable for garrisoning troops in Qinghai Lake. ”
Hexi is the territory personally controlled by Pei Min, there is no need to make any changes, Longyou Pei Min is also assured, Longyou Army is a brave man who has experienced a hundred battles, and individual veterans have followed Pei Min for more than ten years, and their combat effectiveness is the best in the world.
As for Anxi and Beiting......
The Anxi Army was taken over by Feng Changqing, and it was no big deal, he had followed him for many years, and he had learned a lot from himself, so he could control the situation.
At this time, Pei Min thought of Li Guangbi again, and read: "With Li Guangbi, a powerful potential stock, I don't have to worry about the future of the Anxi Army." Only Beiting, Xianzhi needs to pay more attention. ”
The North Courtyard is indeed worth paying attention to.
The original envoy of the Beiting Festival was Gai Jiayun, who was also a figure, and the Western generals who rose step by step with their military exploits made a lot of contributions. It's just that he is not qualitative enough, and after he became famous, he began to indulge in pleasure and slack off military affairs.
Gao Xianzhi was originally Gai Jiayun's subordinate, and it was because he disliked Gai Jiayun that he switched to Pei Min's command.
Gai Jiayun has already invited Li Longji to join the court, and plans to promote him and transfer him to Hedong to take up a post.
As a result, Gai Jiayun was addicted to pleasure, but he relied on himself to repeatedly make side achievements, indulged in alcohol, did not think about defense, repeatedly delayed his appointment, lingered in the prosperity of Chang'an, and was impeached by Yu Wenrong.
Li Longji's doting on the border marshal was once again reflected, and he did not punish Gai Jiayun, but personally revised the book and urged Gai Jiayun to go to Hedong to take up his post.
Gai Jiayun had to leave for Hedong.
Gai Jiayun's Beiting Jiedu envoy took over the position by Gao Xianzhi, who had reached the end of the battle.
Gao Xianzhi has not followed Pei Min for a long time, although he is extraordinary, but in the face of the soldiers left by Gai Jiayun, his pressure is the greatest.
The Beiting Army is also the weakest army under Pei Min's current combat effectiveness.
Of course, this "weakness" is relative to the strong armies of Hexi, Longyou, and Arabia.
Pei Min took a pen and paper, drew a stroke on the army transfer form, and transferred An Zhongjing, An Chongzhang and his son under his command to Beiting to help Gao Xianzhi reorganize the Beiting army.
Looking at the layout plan of the rearrangement of the area under his control on the map, Pei Min nodded with satisfaction:
The great West divided him into a center, four divisions.
Qinghai Lake is in charge of Wang Zhongsi, Longyou District is in charge of Fugu Huaien, Beiting District is Gao Xianzhi, and Anxi District is Feng Changqing.
The four divisions surrounded the center of Hexi, and Pei Min personally sat in the third economic center of the Tang Dynasty and controlled the dispatch of the four directions.
Wherever there is a difficulty, wherever there is a war, he can be prepared at the first time.
Wang Zhongsi, Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, and Fugu Huaien are all generals who can take charge of themselves, and now they are sitting in the Quartet and responding by themselves, this layout is simply perfect.
Pei Min was a little complacent, this luxurious lineup, if he couldn't win against Arabia, then he could buy a piece of tofu and die head-on.
