Gao Yue integrated the military system of the current generation with the later generations and adopted it. In terms of name, because of familiarity and good memory, the main force was called the forbidden army, and the responsibilities of the foreign army and the state and county soldiers were combined into one, and they were collectively called the box army. In terms of establishment, the army, battalions, buildings, teams, divisions, and military units of the Wei and Jin dynasties were still used, and the army was the highest level of the army's grass-roots establishment, with 3,000 people.

In addition, in the past dynasties, the Song Dynasty relied more on the use of bows and crossbows, and the weapons of the Song army were mainly bows and crossbows, and the crossbow soldiers accounted for more than sixty percent of the Song army. Because the bow and crossbow is the main weapon, so the Song Dynasty to measure a person's martial arts, are based on arm strength as the first standard, that is, to see how many buckets of the bow can be opened, the highest record of the soldier to pull the bow at that time is 270 Song Jin (one Song Jin is about 1.2 city jin), which is the Spring and Autumn Period of the soldier to pull the bow several times. And some brave generals are even more amazing, such as Yue Fei and Han Shizong, who can hold a bow of 300 Song catties.

Gao Yue was familiar with it, and his emphasis on archers was no exception. Therefore, a separate battalion of archers was set up, with a strength of 1,000 people, so that Peng Jun, who had unique marksmanship, served as the commander of the army, and practiced the soldiers day and night, so as to give full play to the greatest power in actual combat. At the same time, because the Song Dynasty had a special organization for the manufacture of bows and crossbows, the scale of the weapons workshop in the official camp was quite large. For example, in the early period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were more than 1,000 craftsmen in the bow and crossbow courtyard and the arrow making institute, and an average of one person could make a bow a day, or make 30 arrows.

As for the cavalry, there are currently eight hundred. However, if you want to expand it again, it will be very difficult for a while. But not because there is no talent, but because there are no war horses. Although the northwest is the place where horses were produced in ancient times, the place where horses were produced was not in the hands of Gao Yue. Wuwei Dama is owned by the Zhang family in Liangzhou, and it is not coveted by the current Gao Yue.

In addition, there are also Hexi horses are good at running, it is said that the best can travel thousands of miles a day, but it is produced in Qinghai, and it is the territory of the Xianbei people in Hexi, these two can only buy a hundred horses with gold and silver, if there are more, one is not willing to sell others, and the second is a huge cost to make Gao Yue stop. Gao Yue once asked Lei Qizhi about the source of the war horses when he was a horse bandit before, and Lei Qizhi bluntly said that it was snatched from Liangzhou, Hexi and even the northern Saiwai, Gao Yue was speechless for a while, so he had to give up.

Although the cavalry could not be expanded on a large scale for a while, the existing 800 cavalry were all excellent horsemen and were always free. Gao Yue made Lei Qizhi the chief general of the horse army, and selected experienced and virtuous people from among the horse bandits under Lei Qizhi to serve as the deputy of the main team and teach the cavalry, so that the actual combat level was greatly improved.

In terms of literary affairs, the most prominent focus is that since Cao Mo became the commander of Shouyang County, Li Hu, as the military commander, has been instructed by Gao Yue and unconditionally supported and respected Cao Mo. Gao Yue also hinted that if the agricultural affairs of Shouyang County can be greatly improved, then Cao Mo can be appointed as Tian Cao of Longxi, and the agricultural affairs of Longxi and even Yinping counties can be entrusted to him.

How high the official position is, or second, the key is to be able to have a better platform to display his strengths, which is what makes him happy. Cao Mo spent most of his time in the fields, leading by example, working personally, and offering preferential conditions such as rent-free use of the borderless land for five years, and half a share of the harvest and the government, and vigorously recruited displaced people from all over the world to settle down and reclaim in Longxi.

Now that spring ploughing is about to begin, through the careful preparation for a long time, the human and financial resources are also guaranteed enough, Cao Mo also played to Gao Yue not long ago, confidently guaranteeing that if there is no accident, this year will be a bumper year, which can greatly enrich the treasury.

All government affairs began to run in an orderly manner according to the plan. After a few days, Gao Yue was in the mansion, talking to Han Yong and Yang Ke. At present, the Longxi Taishou Mansion, the highest decision-making body, is the main two auxiliary three.

"General Han, I have heard of the previous battles, and I am very impressed. However, I still want to ask, when your troops came to Yinping City, the city had already gathered heavy troops, strengthened vigilance day and night and decided to resist, if the lord did not give an order to postpone the march at that time, but asked you to continue to attack the whole county of Yinping, how would you deal with it? ”

The three of them reviewed and commented on the past battles one by one, and made hypotheses and negative arguments, so as to provide richer and more detailed theories for the future. Talking about the fact that Han Yong used troops in Yinping County to capture most of the territory one after another, and when he was about to continue to go south, almost all the soldiers in Yinping County were gathered in the capital Yinping City, Yang Ke couldn't help but ask Han Yong.

Han Yong's face showed a hint of imperceptible smile, "Yinping City is the capital of a county, tall and strong, and at that time there were five thousand soldiers gathered, if I attack hard, I will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and most of them will fail." Even if it can be captured, our army will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to make a difference for a period of time after that. ”

"So I'm not going to attack Yinping City at all. I will first surround its city, and make a big fanfare, threatening to capture Yinping City, when the opponent is engrossed in this place, I will take advantage of the night to personally lead 2,000 elite soldiers, and the title of the horse to bypass Yinping City, the southernmost Pingwu City is weak, and think that our army is blocked outside Yinping City, the defense will be lax, I suddenly come to attack its unpreparedness, will be able to succeed. At that time, the north and south of Yinping City were cut off, and the food supply was also cut off by me, becoming a lonely city, and the internal and external difficulties were unstable, can you still escape from my palm? ”

Gao Yue asked Yang Ke with a smile: "At that time, Mr. Yang was under the account of the eldest prince, if he heard this, what should he do to deal with it?" ”

Yang Ke bowed his head and said: "If this is the case, the Yin Ping situation cannot be remedied. However, the strong man broke his wrist, according to my plan, I should temporarily abandon Yin Ping and ignore it, and dispatch heavy troops to besiege Xihe City, where the lord is located, regardless of the loss. When General Han heard that the situation in Xihe was urgent, he would inevitably be worried about the danger of the main public security, and he would come to the rescue, so that the situation in Yinping would naturally be alleviated, and this was also a workaround to save Zhao from Wei Wei. ”

When Gao Yue heard this, he was not displeased, and he was even more impressed, even Doyle's literature and martial arts were used by me, which was really a great blessing. Suddenly, his narrow heart protruded, and he asked Yang Ke directly, if Mr. is the chief general of the Di army, and he and General Han are facing each other in Yinping, who will win and who will lose?

Yang Ke was originally blindly humble, and he couldn't resist Gao Yue's repeated questions, brushed the sleeves of his robe, and said with a slight embarrassment: "If this is the case, the outcome of the foolish is unknown." ”

Even though he was questioned by Gao Yue, Yang Ke still said it implicitly and politely, but the meaning was that Han Yong would not necessarily win. Gao Yue laughed, Han Yong also smiled kindly, he also knew in his heart that Mr. Yang on the other side did not say big things, and he was indeed very capable.

While the three of them were talking, a guard came in to report that Captain Li was outside asking to see him.

Gao Yue immediately agreed, and after a while, Li Hu strode in, and when he saw Han Yong and Yang Ke were also there, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Gao Yue, and then at Han Yang, and stopped talking a little.

Since Li Hu was transferred to Xiangwu in Shouyang, the post of Shouyang County was temporarily replaced by He Cheng. Gao Yue originally wanted to transfer Li Hu back in the past few days, after all, he was familiar with the place, and he had been guarding Shouyang for more than half a year, and he had no faults, and he was also quite effective in supervising and training recruits.

But Li Hu has always been rude and generous, and he has never been so unpleasant, Gao Yue couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, and his eyes showed an inquiring look. Han Yong and Yang Ke stood up and said together: "Since Captain Li has something important to report, I will leave." ”

Li Hu hurriedly stopped the two of them again, his face was very strange, and he said after a while: "Also, it's not a big deal." I came to announce a leave of absence to the Lord, to go home, and to do a great job in my life. ”

When Gao Yue heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He recalled that when he was in Bailing Village, Li Hu seemed to have said that there was a settled family affair in the same village, but he had not officially married him. Now that time is in a hurry, Li Hu is nearly twenty years old, and presumably the other woman's wife is not small, so it is indeed difficult to delay any longer.

Seeing that Gao Yue was silent, Li Hu was worried in his heart, thinking that Gao Yue was unwilling to be accurate, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded: "It's not that my subordinates are abrupt, but I received a letter from my father's trustee yesterday, saying that if I don't move again, I will ask Uncle He to give parsley to someone else's family, and said that he himself is old, and the old brothers in the same village have long watched their grandsons running all over the ground." In short, I was forced by my father, and I was a little anxious, so I thought about it all night, but I couldn't do it, so I should open my mouth to my lord. ”

Li Hu said, and some true feelings were revealed, and pleaded: "My sister is sincere to me, but now that it has been a long time, I don't have a word for sure, and it is difficult to ensure that her family does not think nonsense." Lord, General Han, Mr. Yang, I originally came in hard, and when I saw a lot of people, I couldn't speak, but now I have a thick face, and I want to ask the lord to allow me to work for five days, no, I will be allowed to work hard for three days, so let me give someone an explanation, my daughter's family can't afford it, and I can't stand the parsley girl! ”

Gao Yue hurriedly stood up, gave a salute to Li Hu, and said with a straight face: "Brother Li, this is not mine, I am busy with official business every day, but I neglect the lifelong affairs of the brothers. Don't worry, I will make up for my mistakes and organize a beautiful operation for you. ”

Li Hu was originally startled, but he couldn't help but be extremely moved when he heard it. He was worried about whether this private matter would delay his official duties, so he said that he would simply call Xiangqin to come to Xiangwu City to get married.

Han Yong pretended to be disgusted and said: "Other people's woman, wait for you for a long time, and finally send it to the door, how do you want people to deal with themselves, what is this called!" Since you want to marry, then marry openly, marry in a beautiful way, and give the lord and our colleagues and brothers to earn some face and come back, don't ask people to talk behind their backs, these people don't even understand the truth of being a man when they are officials. ”

Yang Ke smiled and said, "Congratulations." How can a man marry a woman lightly. Captain Li, such a happy event, although you can do it with confidence, there is the lord above, and there are colleagues such as me, and it will never make you feel cold and difficult to do. ”
