Chapter 675: Clearing the Aftermath
"The Second Army is stationed in Xincheng, the Third Army is stationed in Liaodong, and the Fourth Army is stationed in Lushun."
With the four cities as the center, each of them connects the surrounding military towns and forts to the Fengdun, stationing soldiers and horses, and training in Tuntian.
"With the troops on the west bank of the Liao River, stationed in Huaiyuan, the town of western Liaoxi and northern Liaobei. With the troops around Liaodong, stationed in Liaodong City········"
In this way, the original distribution of the loyal army into six counties was broken, and the towns and fortresses were readjusted, so that some towns and towns that were already in the belly could be downgraded and the garrisons could be reduced, and for the border areas, the level of the towns and fortresses could be upgraded and additional troops and horses could be dispatched.
In general, the First Army was stationed in Huaiyuan, and it was responsible for guarding the Liaohe line.
The Second Army was stationed in Xincheng and was responsible for guarding the line of the Xiaoliao River, that is, the Hunhe River Valley.
The Third Army was stationed in Liaodong and was responsible for guarding the first line of the Daliang River, that is, the Taizi River Valley.
The Fourth Army was stationed in Lushun and was responsible for the coastal line in southern Liaoning.
The strategic support points of the four armies are Huaiyuan City, Xincheng, Liaodong City and Lushun City.
Under the four major cities, each of the six large cities in dangerous places was selected as military towns, and each sent a group of soldiers and horses to station.
In this way, it is equivalent to dividing the entire Andong Province into four major theaters, and each theater will set up six military subdivisions.
One corps corresponds to one theater, and one corps corresponds to one military subdivision.
For cities in the heart of Liucheng, Luhe, Jian'an, and Yingkou, although the city is large, it is also very prosperous now, with a large population, and it is on a trade route or a seaport, but there is no need to send too many soldiers and horses to garrison.
The main government soldiers and county soldiers should still be stationed on the border line and guard every important pass. As for the big cities of Jian'an and Liucheng, a small number of soldiers and horses can be stationed, and it is enough to cooperate with the Tutuan Township soldiers to assist in defense.
After all, if we really fight, we will still fight on the outside line, and we will not let the enemy break through to the rear.
Luo Cheng nodded.
I am very satisfied with Li Jing's strategic deployment.
"Then we will then readjust and divide the subordinates of these government soldiers and county soldiers according to your plan of the pharmacist."
"Yes, it is better to be subordinate to the principle of garrison on the spot, which is more convenient."
For example, if Zhang San is in Liaoxi, then he will be assigned to the First Army, and if he happens to be under Huaiyuan City, then he can be assigned to the First Army's Yabing Middle Army, or to the Tongding Military Town near the left, or to the military fort, or military station, military station, and soldier pier next to it.
In this way, it is more convenient to be subordinate, live nearby, and garrison nearby.
For another example, if Zhang San is just a team leader, and he is assigned to a soldier, then he can also serve as the commander of the pier. If he is a fire chief, then if he is in a military station, he can also be the station commander.
In short, it is to keep the soldiers as close as possible, and the closer the better.
"Okay, take advantage of the summer harvest to start this round of reorganization and adjustment. After the autumn harvest, we can just try our hand at the Buyeo River. Luo Cheng stroked his chin and said.
After Luo Cheng forced the Yuan clan to surrender, he had not fought with the Goguryeo people for more than two years.
Now the Central Plains is in turmoil, but Andong Road is thriving, after more than two years of Tuntian savings, now the Zhongwu Army is not only sufficient food, but also sufficient horses, not to mention that Luo Cheng also formed and trained nearly 50,000 county soldiers, so that now the Zhongwu Army is still 50,000 people, in fact, it has doubled the number of soldiers and horses.
He even has a strong combat readiness force, and can recruit no less than 100,000 Tutuan township soldiers to help in the war at any time.
After accumulating strength for so long, it's time to start fighting again.
The first target, Luo Cheng aimed at Fuyeo River.
The Buyeo River used to be the place where the ancient kingdom of Buyeo was located, and it was the central hinterland of the Songliao Plain. To be more detailed, the Fuyu River is in the Songhua River Basin, to be exact, the Songhua River flows westward, and it is also called Sumo Water at this time.
In the Buyeo River, there is not only Buyeo City, a major city of Goguryeo, but also more than 40 cities around it, with a population of no less than one million. For Luo Cheng, now Buyeo River has actually been cut off from the Yuan family's domestic city by Luo Cheng, and it hangs in the north.
Therefore, there are actually very good conditions for taking Buyeo River.
This is much easier than directly attacking the country, and after taking it, it can have great gains. Not to mention, after taking the Buyeo River, the threat from the north of Andong Province can be lifted from now on.
In the future, Luo Cheng will be able to attack the Yuan clan to the east with confidence, and there will be no worries.
Li Jing, the Taishou of Liucheng, also fully agreed with Luo Cheng's plan to capture Fuyuchuan. did not go directly to the domestic city, but first hit Fuyu City, which was completely correct in Li Jing's opinion.
After all, the Yuan clan still has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in their hands now, and in the direction of the domestic city, although the hole has been opened, there are all large and small mountain cities along the way, not to mention the black bones, and the domestic cities are also very dangerous and huge, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It is better to cut off the arm of Buyeo first, which can not only severely damage the Yuan clan, but also relieve worries, and also win a million people to strengthen the strength of the loyal army.
"Pharmacist, if you attack Fuyuchuan, the first army of Huaiyuan and the second army of Xincheng will be the main force. You are the Taishou of Liucheng, so I want to ask you to serve as the military envoy of the First Army, and please don't shirk. ”
Luo Cheng never doubted Li Jing's ability, and in Mayi, he had personally witnessed his ability to command troops and plan.
Li Jing was greatly surprised, he had just been transferred to Andong Dao, and he was considered a newcomer in the Zhongwu Army. But as soon as Luo Cheng came, he gave him such an important position as the envoy of the First Army, how could he not be surprised.
That's 24,000 men, a quarter of the belongings of the loyal army.
Li Jing is about the same age as the current emperor, and he is almost fifty years old, and he was a guard in front of the palace with Luo Cheng's father Luo Gui, but he was still excited and didn't know how to speak.
"Don't say anything, bring the first army up for me, and when you fight Fuyuchuan in the autumn, you just don't have to strain."
Li Jing laughed.
"Don't worry about this, if the first army is not good at that time, you will directly cut off my head and kick it as a ball."
arranged Li Jing to be the envoy of the first army, but the remaining three military envoys Luo Cheng was a little embarrassed, and there were many fierce generals under his command, but the military envoy of the first army was to be alone, which was not like fighting in peacetime, just listen to orders.
"Pharmacist, do you think it is feasible for Luo Cunxiao to serve as the military envoy of the Fourth Army, Zhao Gui to serve as the military envoy of the Second Army, and General Feng Xiaoci to serve as the military envoy of the Third Army?"
Li Jing replied, "Actually, the marshal can also unify the army from himself!" ”
"I'll forget it, I'm the envoy of the festival, just command the four thousand tooth soldiers, as for the four armies, let's leave it to others." Luo Cheng had no idea of concurrently serving as an envoy to the First Army.
"In terms of qualifications, General Zhao Gui and General Cun Xiao are enough to serve as the head of an army, and of course, the past performance of the two generals is also good enough." Li Jingdao, in his opinion, there are many fierce generals under Luo Cheng, but there are not many really handsome talents, needless to say Luo Cheng, Hou Mo Chen Yi is also one.
As for others, such as Luo Shixin, he was a fierce general who charged into battle, and Murong Changsheng, Yu Chiliang, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, etc. were probably the same.
"I also know that Cunxiao is not the best candidate, in fact, I am more optimistic about Xu Shiji and Xue Wanche, they are more handsome, but their qualifications are worse and their prestige is insufficient." Luo Chengdao.
"That marshal can make them deputy military assistants to assist Cunxiao and General Zhao Gui in commanding an army."
"Haha, the hero sees the same thing, and that's exactly what I mean."
So it was decided immediately that Li Jing would be the military envoy of the First Army, and the deputy military envoy would be Zhou Dewei.
Zhao Gui served as the military envoy of the Second Army, and Xue Wanche was his deputy military envoy.
Feng Xiaoci served as the military envoy of the Third Army, and Murong Changsheng served as its deputy military envoy.
Luo Cunxiao served as the military envoy of the Fourth Army, and Xu Shiji served as his deputy military envoy.
Qin Qiong was also selected to succeed Murong Changsheng as the envoy of the soldiers and horses of the capital, commanding the tooth soldiers of the loyal army and the three thousand light cavalry and horse envoys of the Ya soldiers. Lieutenant Chi Gong was appointed as the deputy capital of the Ya soldiers and horses, and concurrently served as the soldiers and horses of the 1,000 heavy cavalry of the Ya soldiers, and Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji were appointed as the commanders of the Ya Nei to assist Qin Qiong, and each led a regiment of white horses to ride lightly.
