After arranging Cheng Li's affairs, Gao Shun hurriedly returned to Ningcheng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With Tian Feng sitting in Ningcheng, the matter was handled perfectly, and Gao Shun was very relieved.
Gao Shun discussed his ideas with Tian Feng, adopted everyone's opinions, and set up the General's Mansion in Juyongguan; Tian Feng then sat in Ningcheng as the commander of the general's mansion and the military division, formed the state army, and was responsible for dealing with the central Xianbei and the western Xianbei; Cheng Li sat in Feiru as the captain of Wuhuan and formed Youzhou County, not only to deal with the Wuhuan tribe in the eastern counties of Liaodong, but also to deal with the Xianbei in the east.
Cheng Li focuses on defense and offense; Tian Feng mainly attacked, first to eliminate or drive away the central Xianbei, then to recover Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County and Shuozhou County north of the Yellow River, and finally, to form an invincible Bingzhou army, and cooperate with Cheng Li to completely eliminate the eastern Xianbei.
According to Gao Shun's plan, the Bingzhou army will move south in the future and quickly occupy Bingzhou and Hanoi County; In the future, the Youzhou army will quickly occupy Jizhou and develop southward, assisting Fang Liang to occupy Qingzhou and threatening Yanzhou and Xuzhou; The army of Zhou Fei, the Taishou and protector of the Xiongnu Zhonglang of Hedong County, will march into Guanzhong in the future and develop towards Liangzhou and Shuzhong; Of course, his plans could not be negotiated with Tian Feng and others for the time being.
Tian Fengneng presided over the military affairs of one party alone, which was Gao Shun's attention to him, and he could play his role better, so he supported Gao Shun's arrangement.
Subsequently, Tian Feng reported to Gao Shun the recent intelligence on Xianbei in central and eastern Xianbei and his reorganization and deployment of troops in the past two months.
Tian Feng said with a smile: "Lord, although Feng doesn't know what you have done to the Xianbei people, but your goal has been achieved; Now the Xianbei tribes are all panicked, as if something great has happened, all of them are heavily guarded, we cannot detect specific information, judging from the fact that they have gathered such a large number of troops, something important must have happened, and their herds and towns are gradually concentrated, and a large number of cavalry have been sent to patrol non-stop, as if they have plans to move; In addition, there has been a lot of friction between the tribes recently, and there is even the possibility of war; In this case, their grazing effect will definitely not be good this year, and the winter will be even more difficult for them, so Feng suggested that the border grain outflow should be strictly controlled. ”
"Haha, okay, you can take care of these things!"
Gao Shun was very satisfied with what happened to the Xianbei tribe, although there were not many Xianbei people who were killed, but there were a lot of wealth such as cattle and sheep that were plundered, which was the lifeblood of the Xianbei people.
In order to balance the treatment of Tian Feng and Cheng Li, Gao Shun released 4 soldiers from the trapping camp in the system, led by Ge Hu, as Tian Feng's personal guard.
Tian Feng's heart warmed when he saw the lord treating him like this, but he suggested: "Lord, Feng suggests that the heavy infantry be concentrated and used, as a key military strike force in the hands of the lord, only by using it intensively, can its powerful combat effectiveness be brought into play." ”
Gao Shun understood what Tian Feng meant, and said: "Now to deal with foreign races, every time they gather a limited number of troops, the Situn heavy infantry is enough to change the direction of a battle, if there is a larger-scale war, we will also concentrate our forces." ”
"Yes, my lord! However, there are only 2,000 cavalry of Xue Yin in Qiangyin County, and the strength is slightly weak, so if the 2,000 siege battalions of the people are also transferred to Xue Yin's command, then the security there will be greater, and the migrated Wuhuan family members can also graze with peace of mind. Now that he has the heavy infantry, he no longer worries about the safety of Ning Cheng.
Gao Shun agreed to Tian Feng's suggestion, not only transferred Xue Yin to the camp of the Koji people, but also sent a middle-level military general to lead the Siqu infantry to assist in defending the city, so that those righteous soldiers would no longer worry about the safety of their families, and could train with peace of mind; Gao Shun even thought that when the time came, he would send Xue Yin's cavalry to raid Danhan Mountain.
For the reorganization of the troops, Tian Feng did a very good job, and Gao Shun was very satisfied; The cavalry is based on the unit, with five tuns per qu, and the infantry is based on the battalion, with sixteen tuns per battalion, which can be deployed at will in wartime. Gao Shun planned that after a period of training, the force value of the junior generals would be increased to 65, and each part could be under the jurisdiction of Wutun infantry, so that each battalion of infantry would be 2,000 people, which would be more convenient to deploy.
In order to strengthen the military strength of Cheng Li's side, Gao Shun asked Han Dang to transfer the cavalry registered in Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County and Yuyang County in Batun, and led them to Feiru to station, and then obeyed Cheng Li's dispatch.
Han Dang is a native of Lingzhi in Liaoxi, and if he returns to his post, he can be regarded as returning to his hometown, and he is very grateful for Gao Shun's arrangement.
Following Tian Feng's suggestion, Macheng and Guangning City each sent a middle-level military general to serve as the infantry corps, and each led the Siqu infantry to garrison, and all the cavalry was transferred back to Ningcheng for centralized use.
Gradually, the commanders of the defense in various places changed to mainly middle-level generals, while the generals of natural people such as Yan Liang, Xu Lin, Xue Yin and others mainly fought in the field.
Now the troops on Ningcheng's side are very strong, but Cheng Li's side is insufficient, Tian Feng also suggested that Cheng Li transfer more troops, but Gao Shun vetoed; The role of Ningcheng's side is greater, and in the future, it will mainly focus on attacking and recovering lost territory, while Cheng Li's side will focus on defense and training.
Gao Shun asked Tian Feng: "Sir, this time Shun gave all the credit for the extermination of Wuhuan to Captain Cheng, you have no opinion!" ”
Anyone will pay attention to the matter of the marquis, Tian Feng knew very well in his heart that as long as there was Gao Shun's support, it would not be difficult to be a marquis, so he smiled heartily: "Haha, lord, do we still lack the opportunity to gain military merits in the future?" ”
Gao Shun promised: "What Mr. said is that when the time comes, Shun will take the credit of exterminating Budugen, occupying Danhan Mountain, and eliminating Xianbei in the central part as Mr.'s military merits." ”
"Thank you, my lord."
Gao Shun asked, "Then when is it better to attack Xianbei?" ”
Tian Feng explained: "The lord is not in a hurry, now that the Xianbei troops are heavily guarded, it is not a good time to attack, and it is not too late to attack after they have relaxed; Besides, our existing army must be reorganized and trained for a period of time before it can go on battle, which will also take time. ”
Gao Shun explained: "I mainly want to eliminate the Budugen tribe and the central Xianbei as soon as possible, and divide the Xianbei forces into the east and west, and the two phases cannot echo, so that we can take advantage of the situation to recover Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County." "Gao Shun wants to expand the territory as soon as possible, otherwise the threat to him is quite great, in case the emperor changes the position of the county guard, the system has the possibility of downgrading, if he occupies more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory outside the pass, he will be much more at ease, and he can advance and retreat freely.
"My lord, this state of vigilance of the Xianbei people costs a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and they will not last long; Now they are nervous, and when they suddenly relax, their combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced, and then it will be a good opportunity for us to attack. ”
Gao Shun had no other good way, and he was unwilling to attack, so he could only choose to wait for the opportunity, so he said: "Well, when to attack and how many troops to send to attack, it is up to Mr. to decide, but my opinion is that north of Yanmen County, Dai County and Shanggu County, until the south of the desert, all the Xianbei people in this area must be wiped out or driven away, and there will be our horse ranch in the future." ”
"Yes, my lord, Feng guarantees to complete the task." Tian Feng responded happily, and was very grateful to Gao Shun for his trust in him, and gave him such an opportunity to make contributions, if he succeeded, he would definitely go down in history.
After arranging the affairs of Ningcheng, Gao Shun hurried back to Taoyuan Fort, where there were many important matters waiting for him to deal with.
