Chapter 415 Finalization

The guards who followed the children, no matter which side they were, quickly spread the conversation between Yi Lan and Ye Wenxuan to Ye Tao, Golan, Monsur, and Ye Tao, who were eating barbecue and drinking all kinds of wine in a small area where no one dared to disturb.

“…… Iran is a good boy. Monsour commented on what Ilan had said. Just because he had taken care of the siblings Iran and Isha for many years, Monsour showed his wisdom and courage. The bloodline of the former master of the grassland, in the northern grassland of honoring strength, is not as big as the shadow caused by the Miao descendants of the previous dynasty in the Middle Earth Continent, but it is still fearful. While focusing on running his own tribe, Monsur made the Kolka tribe dare not attack him easily, and at the same time used the matter of sheltering the Ilan brothers and sisters to express his tribe's yearning for a prosperous life back then...... Monsour didn't make much use of Iran and Isa, and he had always treated the Ilan siblings as an elder, as a father. And now, the bloodline of the so-called Lord of the Prairie is even more insignificant, but in order to cultivate Yi Lan's abilities in all aspects over the years, Yi Lan has a very high level of hard work, which is more valuable. Monsur knew that the governance system of Yunzhou, by himself, and by these grassland tribes who were full of blood in their heads, I was afraid that there was no way to figure it out. After all, they didn't have the experience of surviving and living for hundreds of years under the control and help of Yunzhou like the tribes on the Wolf Plains.

"It's just that I don't know what will become of him after what happens on the grassland." The patriarch of a small tribe sighed. They had all thought about whether they wanted to follow Monsur and make the name of Ilan, the son of the steppe, famous. And now, Yi Lan will still be a capable and promising general, and at the age of seventeen, he is likely to be able to make a name for himself on the grassland. But it's just a name.

"If Iran is safe and sound, send him to Gondor. He was still young, and the Monsour Patriarch had actually put so much effort into cultivating him, so don't waste it. I'll find someone to teach him, hopefully...... After a few years, a wise governor will be produced for the northern steppes. Ye Tao said lightly.

This may be a good choice, a good result. Monsour pondered for a moment and nodded. Immediately, he asked, "Lord Ye, what is going on in the northern grassland...... How do you think about it? ”

Ye Tao looked at Tan Weiran. Chi Lei had already gone to gather the troops, and among all the people present now, Tan Weiran was undoubtedly the most professional and highest-ranking officer. An envoy like Ye Tao is no longer clearly divided by civilian and military officials.

"This time, it will be General Chi Lei who will lead the troops into the north." Tan Weiran said very steadily: "The two armies of the Frost Wolf Silver Wing, plus the reserves and auxiliaries, have a total of more than 17,000 people. This time, at least three battalions of troops will enter the northern steppes. Jingyun rode out four battalions, Tieyun rode out two battalions, and in addition, the guards cavalry battalion, one battalion of heavy equipment, three battalions of baggage, and four battalions of light infantry will be under the command of Chi Lei. That is, the strength of fifteen main battalions and three baggage battalions sent by our side. In addition, the 1st Battalion of the Yunzhou Flying Cavalry and the Battlefield Service Battalion of the Messenger Bureau will intervene depending on the situation. Combined, the regular army totaled twenty battalions and 60,000 men. Patriarch Golan, you see......"

Golan continued: "Benwolf Yuan can at least come up with no less than 100,000 troops. Of these, 20,000 are elite people who have undergone full formal training...... Although it is not as elite as the main battle camp, there is not much difference. The old man had wanted to send more troops, but Patriarch Monsur was right, we had been fighting too much for too long. The name of my Golan, in the steppe, at least to the north, probably doesn't sound very good. Therefore, this time, the 100,000 people who ran to the wolf plain were on standby at any time, but they did not easily enter the north to fight. I'll have 20,000 riders on standby to keep up if needed. Instead, about 30,000 cavalry were prepared to temporarily enter Yunzhou and station. Just in case. ”

Golan's words made Monsour frown. In this way, Ye Tao was actually ready to rely on those main battle camps in Yunzhou to fight. Although over the years, everyone has become more and more incomprehensible about the strength of those main battle battalions in Yunzhou, and they only feel mysterious and unattainable, but in the grassland, especially in the grassland where mobility is very emphasized. Is an army of 60,000 men enough? Naturally, Yunzhou did not rely on these 60,000 people to fight, including their tribes, those tribes who had decided to fall to the northern Xinjiang Jingluo Mansion could also organize an army of about 50,000. But...... Although the Kolka tribe is now weakened, they don't have to worry about the safety of their nests when they fight in the northern grasslands, they don't have to care about someone challenging their position as the supremacy of the steppe when the army is outside, and they don't have to worry about whether the too old and too young need to go to the battlefield, how many armies can they organize? And how many armies can the tribes that still follow the Kolka tribe support them? The Kolka tribe was able to fight on horseback at least 1230,000, and with their servant troops, it should not be too much of a problem to get an army of more than 200,000 people.

"We made this decision after considering various issues." Seeing that Monsour had a slight doubt, Tan Weiran explained. "In addition to the three baggage battalions that entered the north, we will also have three other baggage battalions responsible for transporting supplies to the edge of the Benwolf Plains and the northern grasslands. We calculated the various supplies we needed and the capacity we could use to come up with a figure of twenty battalions. In terms of combat power, our side is confident. And before the battle, we still have a large number of weapons that have been replaced, please bring back the Patriarch of Monsur and change them for your soldiers. I know what the armament of the northern steppes is like now. In this way, the combat power under your command, Patriarch Monsur, has also increased, although it is still inevitable that there will be fewer enemies and more enemies, but in terms of combat power, it is not only equal, but even our side has a slight advantage. However, if we send more battalions, maybe the strength of the troops will be good-looking, but due to the supply and other problems, we can't keep up, but there are many constraints. ”

Monsur did not question Tan Weiran's interpretation, in fact, for Yunzhou's combat effectiveness, he had a much higher estimate than the officers in Yunzhou, who had always been cautious, and many tribes had already been scared by Yunzhou. And the northern tribes are more afraid of the heavy weapons that seem to control the power of the god of fire. Monsour knew that a well-supplied battalion of heavy weapons, with only two or three battalions to protect it, would basically be able to wipe out the southernmost group of tribes. Instead, Monsour had some doubts about Golan's statement that the tribal warriors were going south to change their guards, and he asked with great caution: "Is this ...... Is it that the east or west is not very stable? Even if 60,000 troops are deployed, Yunzhou shouldn't need the tribal warriors to go south, right? ”

Golan smiled and did not speak, this could not be said to Monsour now. Not only did Ben Wolf Yuan get tens of thousands of people to go south, but Yunzhou also recruited some recruits, and the Invalids Farm and Ranch system was finally approved, and the four battalions were included in the sequence of the main battle battalion of the regular army in Yunzhou...... In Yunzhou, there will be a military build-up of slightly less than 100,000 in a short time. Indeed, it seems that this is a remedial measure made by fearing that the main battalion will go north, but it is also an expansion operation. Now, Ye Tao is no longer just a strategic envoy of Yunzhou, but an envoy of Northern Xinjiang. After Zhenzhou was brought under the rule of the Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy Prefecture, only ten garrison battalions were formed, and the rest of the time they relied on the continuous training, rotation and feints of the main battle battalion. Originally, 50 battalions could perfectly garrison Yunzhou, but now, Tan Xiaopei couldn't stand it anymore, and ordered at least 30 more battalions to be organized and trained in the Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy Mansion, and actively carried out the training and preparation of civilian combat forces. And Ye Tao, as expected, only made up thirty ......

Ye Tao knew that there were always people who were jealous or jealous of the huge power in their hands. Especially when the whole north is becoming more and more unpeaceful, only a small number of people know about the dense and rich contacts between Ye Tao and Tan Xiaopei. Over the years, just the official emails between Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, and Danyang on various policy discussions, Q&A, and explanations filled a room. Not to mention the fact that there are also a considerable number of family letters, gifts, samples and the like. Tan Xiaopei hoped that Ye Tao could rely on Yunzhou and the entire northern Xinjiang to try a new road, and he didn't care if Yunzhou was too powerful, but when the fifty battalions in Yunzhou were obviously not enough, Tan Xiaopei felt that if there was a need, he couldn't even transfer a heavy army group from Yunzhou, Tan Xiaopei quit...... This time, he finally didn't hold back, scolded him in the council hall once, and then ordered the expansion of the army.

Ye Tao smiled and said, "Patriarch Monsur don't worry, it's not that there is a problem on either side. At least not yet. If after the northern war started, the Western Route Army of Northern Liao did not move, then it was the thing that disappointed me. 60,000 regular troops, as well as the warriors in the hands of the patriarch and these friends here, I think it should be enough. Frankly, I'm not even for the Kolka clan. Just to defeat them, where is it worth me to use twenty battalions? …… The north has to solve the problem now, and the north has to solve the problem. ”

Monsour suddenly realized, nodded, and then asked, "Then when will you do it?" ”

"Do you think that on this important occasion today, Chi Lei is not here, what is he doing?" Tan Weiran asked with a smile.
