Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Solicitation Envoy
PS: Let's see in a while, I'm busy today, and I haven't finished writing yet......
Chen Xu followed Li Wenzhao and met the generals from all walks of life who were currently gathered under Shouzhou City in the former military camp, a total of more than 20 people, gathered together. Chen Xu will take over the post of Shouzhou envoy from now on, and when the time comes, he will inevitably cooperate with other generals, so when Li Wenzhao introduced the generals, Chen Xu silently wrote down their names and the number of the soldiers and horses in his department, so that they can be used later.
Gradually, Chen Xu had a certain understanding of the composition of the Wei army in Shouzhou. Shouzhou City is known as 300,000 soldiers and horses, just listening to the prosperity of soldiers and horses, I am afraid that a large number of people will be shocked. In addition to the elite of the forbidden army headquarters, the rest of the soldiers and horses have the "lower soldiers" directly under the forbidden army (that is, the people who were eliminated during the previous rectification of the forbidden army), and the town soldiers in the local Shangjie Town, the largest number of people are the people who are recruited from the local states and counties, and they are pulled to the front line of the battlefield with a little establishment.
Therefore, most of the more than 20 generals present were soldiers and civilians from Songzhou, Maozhou, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, Xuzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou, Caizhou and other prefectures.
Chen Xu originally thought that the generals under his command were like clouds and countless elites, but he didn't expect the reality to be so cruel, in the end, most of the 300,000 horses were people who were recruited before they even went to the battlefield. The prosperity of soldiers and horses is breathtaking, but in fact, there are not many soldiers who can fight. It turned out that most of the forbidden troops who came to Huainan were distributed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, attacking Taizhou, Sizhou, Haizhou in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as Haozhou not far from Shouzhou and other cities that were still under the control of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the elite of the forbidden army headquarters in Shouzhou, in addition to some of the left wing of the Hujie army led by Chen Xu (going south to Jianghuai, the guards and the pro-army Ma Bujun commanded Li Wenzhao to take away many elites of the guard army, including some of the left wing soldiers and horses of the Hujie army), and there were 20,000 horses in the left wing of the Hujie army under Li Jixun, who commanded the guards and infantry troops and led the Zhaowu army. Full of 300,000 troops, a total of 40,000 real elites.
But the 40,000 elites, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses under his own command, the remaining 30,000 people are only afraid that it will be difficult to command, don't look at Chen Xu is the Shouzhou recruiting envoy, responsible for the battle of Shouzhou, and the recruiting envoy has the right to act cheaply, not to mention the biggest boss of the guard pro-army Li Wenzhao (who is also deployed in Huainan, just listening to the name is one level higher than his Shouzhou recruiting envoy), just talking about Li Jixun, the superior on his head, he doesn't think he can command his superiors.
Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the flames of war have been raging, arrogant generals, and even the emperor dares to overthrow the general's temper, and the imperial power has fallen, not to mention that it is a long-standing war, a high-ranking general, it is good not to trouble you, and I want to command the transfer, dreaming!
