"Would you like to go?" Luo Cheng asked.

"Why don't you want to go, isn't it just to make meritorious service in the war, and only after making meritorious service can you have the opportunity to award officials and knights." The fourth child understands this set very well, he is a soldier in order to be an official and make a fortune.

"The Eastern Crusade is very dangerous, in the eighteenth year of the opening of the emperor, the first emperor sent 300,000 troops to the east, but the result was almost all gone, but even the Goguryeo barbarians have not seen it." Luo Cheng reminded them.

"That's just because the roads were destroyed by heavy rains, the grain roads were cut off, and then there was an epidemic, and it was not a defeat in the war, so it doesn't count."

A group of newly appointed officers have high morale, and they can't wait to send troops now, kill them directly to Goguryeo, and then break the city of Pyongyang, capture the king of Goguryeo, and earn the title of duke and marquis.

The 800 soldiers in the house also have this attitude, and none of them are cowardly.

Only Luo Cheng was unwilling to go to the East.

"Since everyone is willing to go, let's draw lots, whoever is drawn will go, and those who don't get will stay."

"How about the eldest brother-in-law staying?" Luo Cheng asked Zhou Dewei.

The eldest brother-in-law said helplessly, "I also want to go to Liaodong to earn military merits." ”

Luo Cheng looked at the rest of the people, but the fourth one shook his head even more, and no one wanted to stay. As for Qi Biao and Li Bao, they are even more reluctant to stay, they want to return to the battlefield to fight.

He thought about it secretly, Chai Xiaohe was in charge of staying behind, there were still two hundred soldiers here, and there must be one or two captains and officers. After all, this is his hometown, and he is afraid that after leaving, the bandits will come again, and he can't be copied from his lair.

Shixin has to take him, although he is now enlightened, but after all, he is young, and Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi are still too young, so they don't feel at ease.

As for his five King Kongs, Li Junxian, Guo Xiaoke, and Wang Tiehan, although fierce, they are too young in qualifications, and they are the leader of the team, which is not enough to mention this important task.

The third and fourth resolutely refused to stay.

So in the end, Luo Cheng could only grieve his eldest brother-in-law Zhou Dewei and fourth brother-in-law Zhou Xin.

"The two of you are a soldier and a soldier and a cangcao is in the military, so it's better to be wronged and stay behind. At home, you can also take care of it. ”

Zhou Dewei was older, and when he heard Luo Cheng say this, he smiled and agreed, but Zhou Xin was very reluctant, and finally persuaded him for a long time before he reluctantly agreed.

The 800 soldiers of the government passed the lottery, and finally 600 lucky people were drawn to go to the battle.

These 600 people are according to the combination of one regiment of cavalry and two regiments of infantry.

However, according to the military system of the Sui Dynasty, these 600 people will be reorganized after Luo Cheng is brought to the Zhuojun camp. For the first time in history, Yang Guang conquered Liao, and issued an edict to gather the world's troops, regardless of the north and south, they must converge in Zhuo County, and gather tens of thousands of horses and horses in Donglai as a water division.

At that time, the army gathered in Zhuo County was more than 1 million, and later the left and right wings, and the left and right wings were divided into 12 roads, and each road army set up a general, a general, and a general on each road, and 40 cavalry teams, and each team of 100 people placed a large number. Ten teams are regiments, and the regiment has one partial general. Eighty infantry detachments, divided into four regiments.

This establishment is a wartime establishment, and it is no longer the establishment of the guards in peacetime.

An army of 12,000 men, 4,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry, cavalry is a regiment of 1,000 men, and infantry is a regiment of 2,000 men. In addition to the soldiers, there were also a large number of auxiliaries, and there was a Chinese army under the personal command of Yang Guang.

The first expedition to Liao, the army gathered in Zhuo County was more than one million, and Luo Cheng took these 600 people to go, which was really a drop in the ocean.

"The generals for the expedition have been chosen, and now there is still some time to prepare, and we must prepare ordnance, food, and pack horses according to the requirements of the Ministry of War. Otherwise, you will be punished. Luo Cheng held a meeting with a group of officers and directly pointed out an urgent task at the moment.

When the government soldiers go out to fight, they have to prepare their own ordnance, food, horses, mules, etc.

If you fail to do this, you will be punished.

"We just got some money, so even if we want to buy it, it's too late, right?"

Changshi Chai Xiaohe said, "It's too late to buy, but fortunately, we are newly established in the military government, so the Ministry of War has relaxed the conditions for us." For the government soldiers who go out to fight, each person only needs to prepare seven things for the government soldiers, and then a group of six mules and horses, and nine buckets of military rations. As for the rest of the equipment, they paid money to the Wei government, issued vouchers, and then arrived in Zhuo County, where they could receive a lease and return it after the war. In addition, in addition to the military rations, we can also hand over the grain to the military government first, and then take the voucher and find the government to pick it up along the way. ”

The seven things of the government soldiers refer to several basic equipment such as clothes, quilts, saddle bridles, bows and arrows, swords and spears.

If the general government soldiers go out to fight, they have to prepare all the equipment, but since it is a new military government, the conditions are relaxed, bring some clothes and be fed, and then one person, a horizontal knife and a spear, even if the bow and arrow are not ready, it is fine.

Pay the money first, just pay the money, and when you arrive in Zhuo County, there will be all kinds of ordnance prepared by the imperial court, and then rent the required ordnance at that time, and then return it after the war, just spend some rent, which can be regarded as a compromise plan of the Ministry of War.

Grain is the same, and each soldier must bring nine buckets of wheat rice on the road. Of course, if you want to assemble in Zhuo County, this way is not close. Jiudou may not be enough, what should I do, first pay the grain from my own house to the military government, and get a voucher, which is equivalent to the grain book, which will record how much grain you paid.

Then you march all the way to assemble, and as long as you pass through the counties, you can use this grain book to find the local government to pay for food, and keep as much as you want, as long as it does not exceed the amount of food you have saved.

This is also a great convenience for the government soldiers.

Of course, some equipment still has to be purchased, for example, ten soldiers in one fire, you must have six horses and mules, you can do without horses and mules, you can do without mules and donkeys, but the number must be enough.

Again, the military government has to prepare tents for the government soldiers, and this is indispensable.

As for pots and rice bowls, you have to prepare them.

Then all kinds of other things such as baskets, shovels, saws, cattle tendons, etc., can be rented or purchased at the assembly site.

Renting is certainly more expensive than bringing your own, and it may not be so convenient, but in the absence of it, it is the only way.

"Then let's rent it when we get to Zhuojun!"

Everyone thinks that spending more money is more convenient.

So, at last, it was decided that all the 200 cavalrymen should prepare their horses, and the cavalry should be equipped with basic swords and spears, and those who had bows should bring bows and arrows, and those who did not have bows should not be left alone.

In the end, Luo Cheng also asked to prepare a new flag of Changbai Eagle Yangfu, which cannot be missing, and all regiments and teams must also prepare flags, which must be brand new.

"Go home and get ready, let your mother and daughter-in-law sew your clothes and prepare your food. Feed the horses and mules to be strong, and sharpen the knives. Spend the year at home, and when the year is over, we will officially set off. ”

"Remember to bring more money with you, it is best if you can exchange it for gold and silver, money is very important outside, and sometimes it can save your life, remember." Luo deals with everyone.
