Chapter 303: Full Wings
Luo Yi's 2,000 men and horses here have just been arranged, and Hou Mo, Chen Yi and Feng Xiaoci also arrived with 2,000 people.
Luo Cheng and Feng Xiaoci and Hou Mo Chen Yi are also old acquaintances, and they are not polite at this time, and they entered the camp with a smile.
"We brought two thousand men and horses this time, which is not as strong as Luo Huben's soldiers, but Taishou said that Luo Juncheng crossed the river for the forward, and that is also a major event for our Liaodong County, so we must fully support it."
"Four hundred light horses, 1,600 pawns, people have already brought, how to arrange the formation, all listen to the county, our brothers came this time, and they won't go back, so they stayed and crossed the river with the county."
Seeing Hou Mo Chenyi's cheerful appearance, Luo Chengna was naturally even more happy.
"Then thank you so much Li Taishou, and thank you Hou Mochen for joining the army and Feng for joining the army."
"It's all my own brothers, what's polite."
Although Feng Xiaoci and Hou Mo Chen Yi are both old men in their early forties, they are directly called brothers and sisters with Luo Cheng, an eighteen-year-old young man, and this familiarity makes the newcomers Murong Changsheng and Wei Chiliang envious.
Hou Mo Chenyi, like Murong and the others, is also a Xianbei person, but he is a three-character compound surname, surnamed Hou Mochen, and his name is Yi. This surname has a very strong Xianbei characteristics, and in addition to the surnames of Xianbei people, there are also many three-character surnames. For example, Buliugu, Kediyan, Monalou, Tuyuhun and so on.
In fact, the Xianbei people originally did not have a surname, and the tribal name was considered a surname. Later, after the Tuoba clan established the Northern Wei Dynasty, they vigorously promoted the family name and separated the family name from the family.
Later, active sinicization, but also those with obvious tribal marks of the compound surname, three-character surnames, etc. changed into Han single surnames, such as the eight surnames of Xunchen, Mu (Qiu Muling), Lu (Bu Liugu), He (He Lai, Helan), Liu (Dugu), Lou (He Lou), Yu (Don't be Yu, Wan Yu), Ji (Su Xi), Wei (Wei Chi), so that these eight surnames are changed to single-character Han surnames, and then it is also stipulated that these eight surnames are the same as the four surnames of Kanto, and they can all be directly high-ranking officials, and they are the surname A. This is equivalent to the Jin people's nine-grade Zhongzheng system, and they are all set out of the surname.
In later generations, there was no Xianbei in China at all, but unlike the disappeared Khitan, the Xianbei did not actually disappear, but assimilated into the Han people.
In ancient China, the Xianbei people were the most thoroughly assimilated Hu people, because the Xianbei people themselves were very active in sinicization, and later the Wei Dynasty established by Xianbei perished, and those Xianbei nobles were even more completely sinicized.
For example, there are many Xianbei nobles in the Sui Dynasty now, and even nobles and high-ranking officials, but even if some of them have not given up their compound surnames and three surnames, in fact, whether it is their clothing or their language and customs, they have become no different from the Han people.
Although Hou Mo Chen Yi has a three-character surname, his appearance is slightly different from that of the Han people, but in fact, there is no difference in speech and the like.
Li Jingzao told Luo Cheng that Hou Mo Chen Yi is best at strategy, especially military strategy.
So Luo Cheng asked Hou Mo Chen Yi to make his marching history.
Most of the 2,000 men and horses were indeed newly pulled up teams, but fortunately, they were all fully equipped, so Luo Cheng directly added the four hundred light cavalry to Murong Changsheng's personal guard regiment, and the 1,600 infantry soldiers were mixed with the three infantry regiments, and Luo Cheng simply built a new infantry regiment.
He added a few hundred more people from the militia battalion to come in.
As a result, his vanguard army had three light cavalry regiments, four infantry regiments, plus a heavy cavalry battalion, and a total of 12,000 soldiers, forming a fully organized wartime field army.
Feng Xiaoci also unified the regiment foot.
Sitting in the tent, his eyes swept over the generals, and Luo Cheng suddenly felt that the soldiers were strong and strong.
"General, there are 12,000 soldiers in the vanguard army, and I suggest that it be divided into three compartments, the middle and the front." Wei Ji proposed that there were more soldiers and horses, so naturally there were different ways to command.
Hou Mochen also nodded in agreement with Wei Zheng's proposal, saying that the role of the division was to be able to divide the troops in wartime. One is the way, so that the vanguard army can attack separately at any time and cooperate with each other's attack and defense.
Luo Cheng is like a stream.
His eyes swept over the generals, and he already had a suitable candidate in mind.
"The front compartment is composed of a group of scouts and a regiment of infantry, three thousand men and horses. Grant Luo Siye as the general! ”
The third child stood up with some surprise.
"General, the qualifications of the heir are shallow, and he does not dare to take on this important responsibility. In the army, there are generals Qi Bi, Li Bi, Feng Xianjun, Hou Mochen and the army, Captain Murong, Captain Wei Chi, and General Jia Bi, all of whom are older than me. ”
Those who were named waved their hands and shook their heads.
For example, Feng Xiaoci, Hou Mochen, Murong Changsheng, and Wei Chiliang are all newcomers, so they are naturally embarrassed to compete for the position of this capital, and the three generals Jia Runpu, Qi Guoyuan, and Li Ruqi all know the skills of the third child, and they are constantly competing with each other.
In the end, it was Luo Chengdao, "General Luo, this pioneer will be selected, then there are considerations, you are not used because you are my brother, but because of your performance all along." ”
In the end, Luo Siye reluctantly agreed to take over the position of the front-chamber general.
Luo Cheng also awarded Zhao Gui as the deputy general of the front compartment.
"The rear compartment is composed of the Broken Front Light Cavalry Battalion and the Second Infantry Regiment, with 3,000 men and horses. Qi Guoyuan was awarded the rear general, and Luo Cunxiao was the deputy general of the rear compartment. ”
Qi Guoyuan resigned a few times, although the fourth child wanted to be the general, but he also knew that Luo Cheng had never bargained when he spoke, he chose Qi Guoyuan as a partial general, so he couldn't be a deputy general if he wanted to, so he simply responded to this deputy general, so in the end Qi Guoyuan still did this general.
The middle wing had a slightly more number of soldiers and horses, with 6,000 men, and consisted of a guard light cavalry regiment, two infantry regiments, and a heavy cavalry battalion. Luo Cheng appointed Feng Xiaoci as the commander of the middle chamber, and then awarded Jia Runpu and Li Ruqi as deputy generals.
Hou Mo Chen Yi made the history of the vanguard army, Wei Zheng was the recorder, and Wang Ziming was the recorder.
Because Heiye, Qi Guoyuan were all promoted to general, Cunxiao, Zhao Gui, Li Ruqi, and Jia Runpu were all promoted to deputy generals, so the positions of the partial generals of each regiment were vacant again.
Seven regiments of partial generals, except for Murong Changsheng as the partial general of the personal guard regiment, the remaining six regiments, Luo Cheng appointed Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyi, Guo Xiaoke, Zhang Liang, Wang Junkuo, Li Junxian, Shi Meng seven people as partial generals.
The battalions below also promoted a large number of old brothers.
As a result, almost all the officers were promoted, and everyone was happy.
The battle has not yet been fought, and each of them has been promoted first, which is naturally worth rejoicing.
However, veterans like Hou Mo and Chen Yi just laughed it off. For them, it is clear that this crossing of the river is actually very dangerous.
"Do you want to bring auxiliaries and people?"
This is actually a very troublesome question.
If there are few soldiers and horses, mainly light cavalry, and cross the river into Liao, it is naturally convenient to maneuver and not easy to be surrounded by the Goguryeo, but there are also troubles, that is, the lack of offensive and defensive capabilities, and the lack of supplies, and the ability to fight for a long time.
However, if you want to bring more grain and grass, you need to bring a large number of heavy soldiers and people, and if you bring more grain and grass, you have to increase food consumption. It will also drag down the army's mobility and can easily be contained.
But you can't have both, you can only choose one of the two.
Different choices mean different action strategies after entering Liao.
"I'd like to hear everyone's opinions first!" Luo Cheng was not in a hurry to express his position.
Generals, you look at me, I look at you, no one is in a hurry to speak first.
"Hou Mo Chen Changshi, why don't you talk about it first?"
Luo Cheng took a roll call.
Hou Mochen didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "This time, Your Majesty specially ordered the general to be the vanguard general, and lead the troops to cross the river into Liao first, Your Majesty's will is to cross the river to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, so we don't have the task of attacking the city this time, so I think it is better to build a large camp on the west bank of the Liao River, store heavy grain and grass, and order the foot soldiers to garrison." ”
Luo Cheng had already guessed his thoughts, "Changshi said that I only crossed the river with light horses?" ”
"That's right."
If the situation is not right, immediately withdraw to this side of the river, there is a large battalion behind it, and there are foot soldiers to respond, so it will not be dangerous.
"It's too conservative." Luo Cheng shook his head, he didn't like this plan.
"Then go further, store the baggage and grain and grass on the west bank of the river, and then build another large camp across the river on the east bank of the river, and garrison the foot soldiers in it."
It was indeed a step forward, but it was only a concession to cross the river.
Staying on the shore is actually the same as before.
"Wei Ji Room, what about you?" Luo Cheng asked Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng sat there squinting his eyes, and when he heard it, he just laughed, and it took a long time before he said, "I think, since we have been named as a vanguard, and we have crossed the river, if we don't fight one or two battles and pull out one or two city fortresses, wouldn't it seem that we are too timid and timid?" This is also sorry for the emperor's title of vanguard general! ”
"But it is not so easy to attack the wilderness, there are many mountain cities in Goguryeo, all of which are very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we are under the fortified city and cannot be attacked for a long time, it is easy to be surrounded by the nearby Goguryeo. We are alone, in case we are surrounded and cut off the way back, but it will be over. ”
Murong Changsheng, as a general who grew up in western Liaoning, still knew a little more about the situation of the Goguryeo people, and he reminded Wei Zheng.
Everyone wants merit, but if you give yourself away for merit, it's not worth it.
Who would have expected that Wei Zheng smiled hehe.
"I also know this, but as long as we don't fight big fortresses like Xincheng, Gaimu City, and Fuyu City, but fight a few smaller castles, it's still no problem."
"The small city is not easy to fight, just like Tongding City, General Luo Ya led the first army at the beginning, but it took several months to finally take it." Yu Chiliang also reminded Wei Zheng loudly that he always felt that this thin and black guy was a little stupid.
But when Luo Cheng listened, his eyes lit up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this pioneer has a plan in mind, take the map, and I will talk to you in detail!"
