Gao Feng only called the troops of Qi, Qing, Zi, and Wei this time, and he counted that there were 3,000 in Qizhou, 1,000 in Zi and Wei, and 5,000 in the Qingzhou Forbidden Army and Xiang Army, totaling exactly 10,000 people, not counting the 500 people he brought.

Ten thousand people against Song Jiang, who has only more than 1,000 people, although he is not completely sure, there will not be much difference.

The reason why they didn't call the people of other states was not that they were unavailable, but because they were too far away from Qizhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou were far to the east, and Yizhou, Mizhou and Huaiyang were far away in the south.

Of course, not calling them this time does not mean that they are not needed, Gao Feng is already thinking about where to lay a second line of defense, to ensure that once Song Jiang and them enter the boundary of Jingdong Road, they will be wrapped into dumplings, and this second line of defense is the military horses of those states.

……

The matter of transferring troops is confidential and carried out in secret, and ordinary people do not know about it, even Jinan Prefecture is only known to the prefect Han Yuan, and several other states have also narrowed the scope of knowledge to a minimum.

Gao Feng did this because he didn't want to disturb Song Jiang, no matter whether he could recruit him or not, he still had to be fully prepared militarily, and Gao Feng didn't want to return in vain this deployment.

He secretly entered Jinan Mansion and did not even go to the government office, but lived in the barracks, which was also for convenience.

Ordered the Han prefect to go as usual, and Gao Feng began to take over the Xiang army of Jinan Mansion.

During this period, the Xiang Army was established as an army, with six battalions, each battalion of 500 people, which was regarded as a reinforced army, and the army commander was Guan Sheng, and there was also a deputy commander and six battalion commanders.

When Gao Feng ordered Guan Sheng to gather the Xiang army, he knew why the combat effectiveness of the Song army was weak. I saw that the soldiers were uneven in height, their faces were sluggish, and they had no standing or sitting faces, which was obviously negligent in training.

If this is on the one hand, on the other hand, their military appearance is seriously unorganized. More than half of the sergeants had no regular uniforms, let alone armor and weapons, and most of them were still wearing their own clothes and holding some wooden sticks.

Such a group of people going to that station is simply a group of militiamen, maybe worse than Song Jiang and them.

How can they fight the war? Gao Feng couldn't help but look at Guan Sheng and blamed him. When he met Guan Sheng on the road before, he brought dozens of soldiers with him, and he felt good at the time, those guys were at least like soldiers, but now it seems that except for those few, the rest are rabble, how can such an army have combat effectiveness?

How could Guan Sheng not understand the meaning of Gao Feng? He blushed and said, "My lord, we can't help it?" ”

Gao Feng was shocked, and immediately thought of all kinds of problems in the Great Song army, this matter was not something that Guan Sheng could control, so it had nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, Gao Feng calmed his face and motioned for Guan Sheng to continue.

Guan Sheng continued: "The Xiang Army is a local army, it is different from the forbidden army, it has no training tasks in peacetime, and it does not consider going to fight, so it is negligent in management. Also, the treatment of the Xiang army is much worse than that of the forbidden army, about half of the forbidden army, so its life is very miserable. This time, the number of soldiers was added, but the supply of soldiers did not increase, so military uniforms, equipment, military rations, monthly salaries, and so on could not be guaranteed. ”

I see, this is really not to blame Guan Sheng. The main task of the Xiang army is miscellaneous service and military industry, although special periods and special places also undertake combat training tasks, but on the whole it is subsidiary, and the leading role is of course the forbidden army, so the treatment of the forbidden army is twice as high as that of the Xiang army.

Not only is the salary of the Xiang army low, but even the social status is not high, and many of the Xiang soldiers are assassinated by prisoners to serve in the state, also known as "matching the army", and such a box army cannot even catch up with the status of the general public.

The way out of the Xiang Army is to be promoted to the forbidden army, and the box army that can be promoted to the forbidden army is actually a reward, but also a manifestation of ability, so it can be said that the individual soldier quality of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is still quite good.

The embarrassing position of the Xiang army determines that they have neither combat effectiveness, but also good equipment and life, and if they insist on putting strict requirements on them, it will be a bit difficult to do so.

Of course, there are also problems of management and corruption within the Great Song Army, which no one can do, and it is impossible for Gao Feng to question them here.

It seems that it is still too optimistic, where is it as easy to deal with things as when he was the magistrate? Even if the peak was predicted, it was not really seen.

It's just that, no matter what, now is the critical moment to deal with Song Jiang, and Gao Feng will not let it develop.

"Commander Guan, I already know about the affairs of the Xiang Army, and I will arrange other things, and the task of training will be handed over to you."

Speaking of this, Gao Feng pointed to the two Baojia soldiers behind him and said: "Regarding the training, the two of them will assist you in carrying it out, and if there are no special circumstances, their training methods will be the main thing." ”

Gao Feng did not let Wu Yang and the other four little guys lead the training. If you want to talk about the force value and ability, they are really not weaker than ordinary generals, even Guan Sheng may not dare to say that they are stronger than them, but the age of the four is still young, Gao Feng is afraid that they will not be able to serve the public, in case they are hit in this team, it will also have a negative impact on their personal growth, and Gao Feng does not want to ruin their future because of this.

Even if it was arranged like this, Guan Sheng was stunned, he didn't know how powerful the two people brought by Gao Feng were, and even the training of the soldiers was up to them, and he really wanted to see what they were smart.

As for the "other things" that Gao Feng said, he arranged it, and it was automatically blocked by Guan Sheng, as a pacifier all the way, and in the key point of dealing with Song Jiang, it was not easy to do these things well.

No matter what Guan Sheng thought, Gao Feng also felt a lot of pressure.

He has a lot to face right now. The edict of the imperial court did not come down, and the soldiers and horses of all roads had not yet arrived, and even the township soldiers led by Xiang Chong did not know when they would arrive. But now he has to wait for the imperial court's edict to formulate a policy towards Song Jiang, and he has to prepare his army for war, and he also has to coordinate various matters, and each of these is not a trivial matter, every one is very important, and Gao Feng does not dare to bluff in the slightest.

However, Gao Feng is more worried that another thing will appear, that is, the Song soldiers here have not experienced any battles, and when they see a fierce enemy, their legs will be weak, once this happens, all his efforts will be in vain, and he must overcome this problem.

So he asked Guan Sheng: "You said that some bandits have taken the opportunity to riot recently, what's going on?" Can you determine who it is? ”

Guan Sheng replied without hesitation: "I really locked the two families, but I haven't touched them." ”
