Chapter 305: Rebuilding the Hussar Camp
Yang Guang heard Li Che mention his release of Yongyu Lu three days ago, and hurriedly waved his hand at Li Che, and said with a smile: "Qi An Gong praised it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info At that time, if it wasn't for Yu Juluo's reminder, I heard at first glance that Yong Yulu was the Turkic leader who led the army to attack Lingshi Fort at night, and almost killed him on the spot. In retrospect, I still regret that I should have forced him to tell him what his status was in the Turkic state, and why the capture of a Hu child made a prince so desperate to ask for it. ā
"Lord Wang, let me ask all the soldiers who belong to the Hussar Battalion of King Jin, who doesn't have the same mind as the prince?" Li Che turned to Yang Guang, clenched his fists and said, "However, since the prince can always take defending the land and protecting the country as his mind, and interpret Yongyu Lu, why should he care about the departure and stay of a Xihu child in An Suijia." The offensive and defensive points that the last general said are irreversible, although it is a phalanx formation, in fact, it also includes the position that should be held in the current situation of confrontation between our Great Sui and the Turks. ā
Yang Guang's words immediately reminded him of his sixth uncle, Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, who was the marshal of Hebei Province, who was now leading the main force of the Sui army in Hebei Province to plan out of Linyu Pass and attack Yingzhou. According to what Li Che just said, didn't he oppose Yang Shuang's initiative to attack Yingzhou?
Due to the presence of the generals of the hussar battalion today, it was inconvenient for Yang Guang to ask Li Che about this matter in person, so he could only hide this confusion in his heart and ask Li Che for advice alone when he had the opportunity in the future.
"Rank General, is there anything else you have to say about the battle of Lingshi Fort?" Li Che's eyes finally fell on Pei Qiantong, who had been taken away by the Turks in the battle of Lingshi Fort and had just been put back on him.
Pei Qiantong, as the only general of the hussar battalion who was born in the three teams of the hussar battalion of the king of Jin and was born as a servant of Yang Guangtianzhuang, was eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in order to prove to Yu Xiaoren, Li Hun and others that he was not inferior to them. Who knew that as soon as Fu made a move, he encountered such a strong opponent as Yongyu Lu, and the two armies were shot off their horses in front of the formation and became prisoners of the Turks. If it weren't for Yang Guang's face-to-face proposal to Yongyu Lu to exchange An Suijia for him, Pei Qiantong didn't know if he could save his life at this time, so when he was released back to Bingzhou City by Yongyu Lu after returning to Baidao Prefecture according to the agreement, he repeatedly asked for a death from the bottom of his heart to wash away the shame of being a prisoner of the Turks.
"I am willing to issue a military order to the Qi'an government, if it cannot kill a hundred Turkic iron horsemen with his own hands in the future, in order to atone for its sins, it will be punished with death." Pei Qiantong blushed, stood up and replied.
"General Pei's words are serious." Li Che glanced at Yujuluo, and saw that he still refused to take the initiative to get up and admit his mistake, he felt quite unhappy in his heart, waved his hand and motioned for Pei Qiantong to sit down, and then led the words to the second topic, "In the battle of Lingshi Fort, the hussar battalion was hit hard, according to a certain opinion, in fact, it was not the fault of any of the generals present today, mainly because the hussar battalion has never had the experience of directly facing the Turkic iron cavalry since its formation. As for the responsibility of defeat, I have been entrusted by the Holy Lord to take charge of the hussar camp and take the responsibility of protecting the prince, and I should ask the Holy Lord for punishment. However, the top priority is not to hold any general accountable, but to rebuild the hussar camp in the shortest possible time to better protect the northern border of His Royal Highness King Jin on behalf of Shengshang. ā
Yang Guang saw that Li Che had said this, and cast an inquiring glance at him, and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Qi Angong's words are very true. But I don't know how Qi Angong wants to rebuild the hussar camp, I would like to hear about it. ā
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Li Che stood up, looked around at the generals in the hall, and finally hugged his fist at Yang Guangyi, and said, "When the hussar battalion was formed in Chang'an before, the first of the soldiers in the battalion was selected from the forbidden army, and the other was simply drawn from the farmers of Wang Ye's Grange. ā
Yang Guang groaned slightly, feeling that in terms of the current situation, it seemed that in addition to Li Che's method, he really couldn't think of a better way to rebuild the hussar camp, so he replied: "Do it in a hurry, just act as Qi Angong said." ā
"The fifty war horses given to the hussar battalion by the Holy Lord have been lost through the battle of Lingshi Fort, and the most lacking of the Hebei garrison is also the war horse. I wonder if there is any objection to the ranking? ā
When the generals at the meeting heard this, they all understood in their hearts that the reason why Li Che abandoned the cavalry and only added the corresponding infantry to the hussar camp was also to realize that the offensive and defensive forces that he had just advocated were irreversible, but to use the phalanx to defend to deal with the strong attack of the Turkic iron cavalry that he might face in the future. In view of the fact that Li Che was the commander of the hussar battalion, Yu Juluo and the others did not dare to publicly express their dissent, although they were not convinced.
After waiting for a moment, Li Che did not hear any objections, so he continued: "After the hussar battalion is rebuilt and replenished with 300 men, it is necessary to practice a new phalanx formation, no longer with 300 people forming a large formation, but with a limit of 100 people from each team, forming three phalanxes that echo each other, so that in the future, when the enemy is approaching, it can effectively disperse the enemy's offensive targets and then defuse the enemy's offensive. Regarding the use of the new formation, General Duan Da and I already had a preliminary idea before the meeting, and I will take it out now, please consider it in detail. ā
Yang Guang saw that all the generals of the hussar battalion got up one after another, gathered around Li Che and Duan Da, and began to discuss the use of specific formations, so he quietly got up, walked out of the meeting hall, and walked towards the small courtyard where he lived with Zhang Xutuo, who was standing outside the hall.
When Yang Guanggang walked outside the courtyard gate of the small courtyard, before he stepped into the courtyard gate, he suddenly heard someone behind him calling him: "Lord Wang, Wang Servant and Zhang Shangshu have sent letters, please take a look." ā
Yang Guang turned his head and saw that it was a scribe in the Xingtai Bureau, holding two letters in his hand, and was bowing down to present them to himself, so he reached out and took the letters of Wang Shao and Zhang Heng from the hands of the scribe, and looked down to see that the letters had been opened, and knew that the two letters did not involve secrets, and had been registered and archived by the scribe, so he was not in a hurry to open the letters and read them, but asked the scribe: "What did Wang Servant and Zhang Shangshu write in the letters, you might as well choose to say it and listen to it." ā
"Yes. Zhang Shangshu said in the letter that he rushed to Xing, Heng, Hebei, and Xiangzhou to collect grain, and the progress was still smooth, and he was about to return to the prefecture in the near future......"
Yang Guang heard that the scribe only mentioned the content of Zhang Heng's letter, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to stare at him, and asked, "Then what does the royal servant want to explain to this king in the letter?" ā
