Zhao Ziliang did not immediately leave Chang'an and rush to the Huayin front, but stayed in Chang'an for a few days to explain to Cen Shen, Zheng San and others about the migration of displaced people and refugees to Beiting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The relocation of three million displaced people and refugees is definitely not a simple matter, in addition to the imperial court invested a lot of manpower to help organize these refugees and refugees, Zhao Ziliang also mobilized all his manpower and material resources in the Central Plains, including dozens of caravans belonging to him and officials specially stationed in the north court to collect displaced people in various parts of Guanzhong.

The imperial court also issued a special order to the government towns along the route, so that the government offices along the route should respond, prepare clean drinking water, and camp together.

Zhao Ziliang has ordered the transfer of 1.5 million stone grain and grass from the army to the gathering places of displaced people and refugees in various parts of Guanzhong, and distribute grain to those who are willing to migrate to Beiting, and each person is given 80 catties of grain, if there is no delay or illness on the road, this grain is just enough for everyone to go to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and then the Beiting side will arrange to receive them, and assign every refugee and displaced person to settle in the designated place, and distribute the grain, farm tools, seeds, and livestock in advance, and there may be a brand new house to live in.

Zhao Ziliang didn't have much time to spend on arranging for the relocation of displaced people and refugees to Beiting, he only stayed in Chang'an for a few days, and handed over the matter to Zheng San, Cen Shen and others before returning to the Huayin front line first.

After Zhao Ziliang and Duan Xiushi, Ma Lu, Wang Rare, Chen Xuanli and others returned to the Huayin front, they devoted themselves to the matter of military training, and nearly 100,000 troops surrendered, and it was not easy to reorganize and train these people into an army worthy of a war.

These surrendered troops have repeatedly surrendered twice in a row, most of them are the border troops of the original Hexi and Longyou, and the combat effectiveness is still there, but because of the problems of the superior generals, they have repeatedly surrendered and caused their current lack of confidence, Zhao Ziliang and others on the one hand to strengthen their military quality training, but also to help them regain their self-confidence.

Zhao Ziliang told Li Siye and Zhao Ting, who were in charge of reorganizing and training this group of soldiers, more than once that they should not be treated as prisoners, that they should not be discriminated against, and that they should not be monitored too closely, and that they should only strengthen the supervision of the military leaders and some generals, and that they should not guard against all the soldiers participating in the training like thieves.

In order to show his support, Zhao Ziliang allocated him a batch of military salaries and equipment, and also gave him 3,000 Chang'an soldiers as the basis for recruiting troops to Huainan to form an army to fight the rebels.

Because the rebels occupied the area east of Tongguan, Lai Yao could only take his subordinates to take the Shangzhou detour to Nanyang, and then go east from Nanyang to Huainan to take office, which had to take a long detour, but there was no way to do this.

Not long after sending Lai Yao away, Li Guangbi, who was strictly defended in Taiyuan, sent people to break through the siege and came to the front line of Tongguan, where the marshal Xingyuan asked Zhao Ziliang for help.

On the eighth day of the ninth month, the horses in the camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were galloping, and there was a shouting of soldiers during the drill, and a messenger rode a horse and staggered to the gate of the camp.

"Hey, wake up, where are you the messenger?" The captain of the camp crouched on the ground, turned the messenger lying on the ground and asked loudly.

The messenger closed his eyes and moved his lips: "Water······ Water ······"

"Grab the hydration bag!"

After a few mouthfuls of water poured into his chapped lips, the messenger opened his eyes and looked at the captain of the camp gate and said in a weak voice: "I am a messenger sent by General Li Guangbi, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, take me to see Zhao Dashuai!" ”

The captain of the battalion immediately stood up and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Quickly carry him on his back and follow me to see the commander!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was studying the battle situation in front of the map at this time, and a personal guard walked in and reported: "Dashuai, the captain of the camp gate brought in a person, saying that it was a messenger sent by Li Guangbi, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and there was an urgent military situation to present to Dashuai!" ”

Zhao Ziliang turned around and immediately said, "Let him in!" ”

The captain of the camp gate quickly entered the tent with the messenger, and the messenger regained some strength at this time, and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Meet the marshal!" The villain is a messenger sent by General Li Guangbi, and the general of my family has a letter asking the villain to be handed over to the marshal himself! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Where is the letter?" ”

The messenger pulled out a crumpled letter from his close-up place, hiding it so discreetly, apparently fearing that it would be lost on the road or intercepted by the rebels.

Zhao Ziliang took the letter and opened it quickly, read it carefully, and asked the messenger several questions, and saw that there was no doubt, so he instructed the guard next to him: "You go and arrange a camp for the messenger to rest, get him some food and drink, and let him have a good rest!" ”

"No!"

After the messenger left, Zhao Ziliang read Li Guangbi's letter asking for help again, thought for a while, and shouted outside the tent: "Come here, go and inform the heads of the departments to come to the tent in an hour to discuss matters!" ”

The heralds outside the tent quickly took the order and left.

After Zhao Ziliang dealt with the official documents on the desk of the foreign desk, the generals of various ministries had already arrived one after another.

After reviewing the last official document, Zhao Ziliang put the brush into the pen holder, looked at the generals who had already arrived, and said: "Everyone is here, then let's start the discussion!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Ziliang picked up the letter on the table and said: "This is a letter sent by Li Guangbi from Taiyuan from Hedong an hour ago, Li Guangbi said in the letter that Shi Siming and Cai Xide have gathered 300,000 horses and horses to storm Taiyuan, and they have been besieging the city for more than half a month, and Li Guangbi has only more than 10,000 people in his hands. Xungui and the emperor's relatives gathered all their private soldiers and family members, a total of more than 12,000 people, and issued weapons to these private soldiers and family members, and let them go to the city wall to assist in defense, but Li Guangbi also said in the letter that the combat power of these family members and private soldiers is not good, even if he can mobilize all the young and strong people in the city to assist in the defense, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the fierce attack of the rebels in this form, the private soldiers, family members and young men are not the army, they are able to carry the equipment and materials to defend the city, let them fight against the enemy, they will only add chaos! So Li Guangbi asked Ben Shuai to send reinforcements to Taiyuan to rescue as soon as possible, what do you think of this? ”

Chen Xuanli asked, "Dashuai, is the authenticity of this letter reliable?" Isn't it a trick by the rebels to disperse our forces in this way, and then break them individually? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Ben Shuai has carefully asked the messenger, this person is familiar with some of Li Guangbi's personal affairs, there should be no fake, and Ben Shuai also knows Li Guangbi's handwriting, the letter and the messenger should be true!" ”

Chen Xuanli said: "The battle of Taiyuan is very important, as long as Li Guangbi holds Taiyuan, our army's defense line will have no loopholes for the time being, if Taiyuan is lost, we will be in an absolute passive position, in the opinion of the last general, we should quickly send reinforcements to Taiyuan to reinforce Li Guangbi!" ”

Li Sheng stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Commander, the last general also thinks that reinforcements should be sent to reinforce Taiyuan, and the last general is willing to lead the troops there!" ”

Fugu Huaien and Bai Xiaode also stood up and said: "Marshal, we are also willing to lead troops to reinforcements!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was very happy to see that these generals and colonels were all asking for battle, at least these people are not greedy for life and afraid of death, they are also people who are not afraid of difficulties, these people are all great generals, as long as they are given the opportunity to practice, over time, any of them can be on their own.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the generals, Zhao Ziliang's gaze kept moving among the generals, and said: "Reinforcements must be sent, how many people should be sent?" Whom will you send to lead the troops? ”

All the generals couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang thought in his heart, the Beiting Army must not be dispersed, and the future war situation does not know where it will develop, once the Beiting Army is dispersed, it will be difficult to gather together, and the combat methods of the Beiting Army are also different from other armies, if someone in the court wants to do something to him, he will inevitably first do something to his cronies or disintegrate the Beiting Army, in order to prevent it from happening, the Beiting Army must not be dispersed, if there are really people in the court who are jealous of his great achievements, If you want to do something to him, these 40,000 Beiting troops with strong combat effectiveness are his talismans, as long as these 40,000 Beiting troops are in hand, no one dares to touch him easily.

Since the Beiting Army can't move, then now the only ones that can be drawn are Ma Lan's 10,000 Hexi Army and Wang's rare 10,000 Longyou Army, as for Chen Xuanli and his 3,000 Dragon Martial Army, they were first excluded by Zhao Ziliang, Chen Xuanli and his 3,000 Dragon Martial Army have never fought at all, these people are some old soldiers, and Zhao Ziliang is thankful for not delaying and retreating on the battlefield, where can they be expected to go to the rebels to fight? And those troops and reserve troops who are still training have not yet completed their reorganization and training, and even if they are pulled to Taiyuan, they can only send food to the rebels.

Zhao Ziliang's gaze stayed on Wang's rare face, and said: "General Wang, lend your 10,000 Longyou army to Ben Shuai, and in two months, Ben Shuai will return 20,000 horses to you, what do you think?" ”

Since Zhao Ziliang said so, he knew that the person sent by Zhao Ziliang to lead the troops must not be him, otherwise Zhao Ziliang would not have said so, but he could earn 10,000 people in only two months, how can this transaction be said to be a big profit, he immediately smiled and said: "There is such a good business?" Since the marshal said so, of course the last general is willing, this 10,000 Long right army can be dispatched by the marshal as he wants! But the big man can't break his word, and in two months, he will have 20,000 horses! (To be continued.) )
