Chapter 0585: The Road to Unification
The meeting on the abolition of Jiezhen and the reorganization of the two prefectures lasted for three days, and all matters were initially implemented. The Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Hehuang Jingluo Mansion was officially established in a large mansion covering an area of 15 acres in the southwest of Huining Prefecture, and Sun Yanshou and Li Duojin also officially took office.
Chang Deben, who had been the magistrate of Huining County for several years, finally kept the clouds and saw the moon, and was promoted to Huizhou, but the position of assassin was vacant, Yan Chengwang was the regimental training envoy, Zhang Zhixing was the deputy, and the two of them were also the chief and deputy military envoys of the Hehuang Governor's Mansion.
The Governor's Office was set up in the east of the city, and Shi Deyuan and Liu Xinfa also took up their posts, checking the number of soldiers according to the rosters of township soldiers reported by various prefectures, and coordinating logistics and supplies.
And Zhang Yue came to Huining only brought Han Hui and Bian Hongyi, and transferred the Lanzhou Jiedu branch who came with Zhuang Shao to make Zhou Delin and the secretary Feng Jing come to the tent to listen to the use, and the staff was barely enough. In addition, Pan Mei and Li Jinggan, who were banned from Tokyo, also came this time, indicating that they wanted to join the army, so Zhang Yue asked them to stay with Zhe Deran.
As the military and political officials performed their duties, the state yake hall was finally vacated, and Zhang Yue then moved into the state hall to live, so that he could meet his subordinates at any time. However, the army is still being reorganized in the past few days, and after the completion of the third division, the third division will remain on standby, and Zhang Yue will lead the first and second divisions to Guanzhong.
In the evening of this day, Zhang Yue returned to the state from the camp in the north of the city, Zhuang Shao and Ji Pingwen were waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw Zhang Yue coming in, they raised their hands, performed a standard military salute of the Northwest Army, and said: "Humble Zhuang Shao and Ji Pingwen come to report and stand by!" ”
Zhang Yue looked at the two of them with an anxious look, and couldn't help but smile and comfort: "Hao Tianying is in charge of the first division, Zong Jingcheng is in charge of the second division, Shi Chenghong is in charge of the third division, and Li Duofu is in charge of the fourth division, but this does not mean that there are no vacant positions, you are all cavalry generals, it is possible to be transferred to Guanbei, and you are in a hurry!" ”
"There are only three towns in Guanbei, Shuofang, Xiasui, and Yong'an, but the army is not the same, and it needs to be reorganized as a command unit, which will not only weaken the combat strength, but also be much more troublesome, and if you want to withdraw the town, it should be carried out as soon as possible." Zhuang Shao already has a certain understanding of Guanbei, and he knows Zhang Yue's next general plan, so he is a little worried.
Zhang Yue thought that too, the total strength of the three towns in Guanbei is about 50,000, and it is necessary to lay off the old and weak, eliminate some of the township soldiers, and the rest may only be 20,000, of which the two towns of Shuofang and Yongan have more elite soldiers, Xia Huanhan has a small population, and there are many party members, and within a certain period of time, Zhang Yue does not plan to requisition party members as regular troops on a large scale.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and you haven't sorted it out yet, and the time is not yet, so you can't justifiably meddle in Guanbei. Zhang Yue thought for a while and said with a smile: "Otherwise, let's do it!" For the time being, you help Shi Deyuan and Liu Xinfa to lead the Huining Training Camp, which is four or five thousand officers training and teaching every day, and they can't be busy! ”
"We have been in the northwest for a short time, and we haven't learned much, it's okay to teach martial arts and cavalry tactics, and it's up to them to teach literature classes." Zhuang Shao smiled bitterly.
Zhang Yue suddenly thought of Second Sister Fu, so he asked, "You haven't married yet, have you?" A famous lady from a wealthy family, how about taking you to meet you another day? ”
"Ahem...... The last general has made a marriage contract with the daughter of Songpan Zhang Yuanjun, and forgot to tell the lord that it is just right, and the lord can take him there! Zhuang Shao smiled.
Zhang Yue was surprised when he heard this, Zhang Jianxiong's son Zhang Guangxian was only in his twenties, his daughter was estimated to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and Zhuang Shaodu was in his thirties, but it was really an old cow eating tender grass, he couldn't help but laugh, turned his head to look at Ji Pingwen and said, "That's good!" How old is it? ”
Ji Pingwen smiled a little embarrassedly: "Back to the lord!" Year twenty-seven! ”
When Zhang Yue heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Hey! It's a match made in heaven! You guys go and get busy first, and I'll keep you informed when I'm free! ”
Sent the two away, Zhang Yue went back to the small courtyard of the inn where he lived alone, and was preparing to let the soldiers prepare hot water to bathe and change clothes, Zhang Jianxiong, He Jiyun, and Bing Shaohui came to visit together, so they had to come out of the hall again, and the three of them were sitting and drinking tea.
When Zhang Jianxiong saw Zhang Yue come out, he got up and arched his hand and said: "If the lord has no important arrangements, the three of us have already received the armor, and we will have to return to the town to prepare for war in the next two days." ”
"Come with me to the study!" Zhang Yue nodded, the time has reached the end of August, the three of them returned to the town and went south on the Gongzhou to Qishan Road, hundreds of chariots and horses took more than half a month to walk the mountain road, and the troops must be dispatched by the end of September at the latest, which is indeed very urgent.
The state yake hall was originally to receive officials to stay, there is a separate study, Zhang Yue led the three people to sit down, shouted to wait for the servant woman to bring tea in, saw that it was a little late and lit the lamp, took out a military map of Shuzhong and spread it on the low table, and looked back to see that the three of them were all around and looked at it, so he said solemnly: "Everything pays attention to the division is famous, if we enter the army, what should we be called?" ”
When Zhang Jianxiong heard this, he replied with a smile: "Meng Chang is arrogant and extravagant, I heard that even the veil of defecation must be cast in gold inlaid with pearls and jade, and he sits on the fertile land of Shu but does not want to forge ahead. ”
Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Haha...... It seems that I don't need to draw up the crusade! Let's get down to business, and if there are any difficulties, raise them first and solve them as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Jianxiong smiled and said nothing, Songpan is located in the southeast of the Ruoergai grassland in the south of Diezhou, if you enter Shuzhong, you can only go south from Songzhou Wenjiang, this road is very difficult to walk, you can only be a small number of elite soldiers lightly armed and rushed, if you capture Yizhou, Mianzhou will go deep into the hinterland of Shu, and the number of troops is less and it is in danger, so you have to attack Jianmen Pass, Xingyuan Mansion can go to the main army.
He Jiyun stretched out his hand and crossed the map, along the Xingyuan Mansion to Jianmen Pass, raised his head to look at Zhang Yue and smiled: "In June, when I received Mr. Feng's letter, I asked the Military Intelligence Department to pay attention, and I heard that the Lord of Shu took the veteran Fucheng as the envoy of the Zhaowu Festival, Li Tingqi as the envoy of the Wude Festival, and Han Jixun as the envoy of the Baoning Festival, which is the three towns of our army. In particular, Wude Town has jurisdiction over the five prefectures of Long, Mian, Jian, De, and Pu, and when the army is strong and the money and food are sufficient, it is afraid that it will be protracted to block the direction of our two-way advance. ”
Bing Shaohui is nearly fifty years old, and he is also considered an old seniority, but his career is not smooth, and in the second year of Xiande, he moved to Fengzhou Weisheng Army Festival with Qin Feng's military exploits, so he also said: "In fact, I thought that as long as Zhang Yuanjun was able to contain Li Tingqi, we were still easy to fight all the way out of Xingyuan Mansion, although Jianmen Pass was dangerous, but we could still bypass it from Yinping Xiaodao and Jiameng Pass, the key is that the veteran of Pet Fucheng is also very shrewd and not easy to deceive!" ”
"Not bad! It seems that Hualong has done his homework, which is good! General Bing's words are also quite insightful! Zhang Yue nodded with a smile, and said: "Capture Bashu, this is very important for us, the road to reunification begins here, if it is delayed, it will be troublesome, so we must be fast, accurate, and ruthless!" However, before that, Eyue Yang Shouzhen and Wuping Yao will first attack Jiangling Gaobaorong, march from Kuizhou to Luzhou, and go north to Chengdu Mansion to join the division! The date of dispatch is tentatively set for the ninth day of September! ”
