After listening to Luo Lin's words, Chen Kefu didn't insist anymore, so he simply went back to the camp to sleep.

But this night, though he lay on a cushion made of bearskin and closed his eyes, he could not fall asleep even though he had counted thousands of sheep.

When he thought of the elite of the Sui army rolling away, and then thought of the noisy and noisy people he saw, now there were only 7,000 soldiers left in the camp, and there were more than 300,000 people in the camp who could only get a horizontal knife or a spear.

Most of the people who used to work in the yellow earth are now all surrounded here. Although on the surface, they are still besieging Liaodong City, but he knows that they are now truly under the encirclement of the Liao.

It rained heavily all night, and Chen Kefu also closed his eyes and thought about it all night. It is speculated that there are about 20,000 people in Liaodong City, but this is speculated to be too unreliable. They can't really have 20,000 people left, or only 10,000, or 30,000 or 40,000, everything can only be guessed.

He got up very early the next day, and it was still raining heavily, and it was dark all day, early in the morning as in the evening. There were hundreds of thousands of troops in the camp at once, and only more than 300,000 people were left.

Yesterday there was a lot of noise all night, and these people already knew that His Majesty the Emperor had left. At present, except for the broken military camp of 10,000 people, the army of the Great Sui has all retreated. Many of the people felt scared, and the auxiliaries were much better.

Strictly speaking, the auxiliaries are also soldiers, and they are all soldiers of the Eagle Yang Mansion. However, these auxiliaries are generally the weak part of the Eagle Yang Mansion, and the elite soldiers are in the war barracks.

According to the establishment of the Sui army's expedition to Liao, it was divided into 24 armies, with 12 armies on the left and 12 armies on the right, and each army had a general and a second general. 40 cavalry teams, 100 people each. 80 infantry squads, divided into four regiments. And these are the soldiers, each army has 8,000 infantry soldiers and 4,000 cavalry soldiers. According to the establishment of the Sui army, each army is equipped with four regiments of auxiliaries, which adds up to nearly 200,000 auxiliaries. The task of the auxiliary soldiers is to follow the army forward, such as transporting grain and grass, setting up camps and tents, and standing guard at night. For example, the cavalry auxiliaries also had to help the cavalry feed the horses.

During the battle, the auxiliaries had to help the soldiers with their weapons, and some even had to charge after them. Basically, the difference with the soldiers is not too big, one is more like a regular soldier, and the other is like a follower of the soldier. Some were like the squires of the Western knights, who served the soldiers and handled the logistics.

It can be said that these people may have poor physical fitness, but in addition to not being as well-trained as soldiers, Chen Kefu feels that these people are also the best supplementary regiment in wartime. In times of war, the replenishment of the army is also replenished from these auxiliaries.

This time the army retreated, and more than half of the 200,000 auxiliaries were taken away, and there were still about 50,000 auxiliaries in the camp at this time, and the rest were all people and craftsmen.

Yesterday, Chen Kefu announced that half of the 60,000 new civilian divisions were auxiliaries, although the auxiliaries have always been the weakness of the government soldiers, but after all, they are also soldiers, much stronger than those people. In the past, there were no auxiliaries in the broken barracks, and they also had auxiliaries according to their establishment. In particular, their heavy cavalry needed these auxiliaries, and when they marched, they had to use carriages to load the armor and weapons of the heavy cavalry. When the battle came, it was necessary to wear armor for the cavalry and their horses.

The 400,000 people left in the camp this time, in addition to 50,000 auxiliaries, there are also nearly 50,000 craftsmen of all kinds with the army, these people have carpenters, blacksmiths, basically all kinds of things, building bridges, paving roads, building palaces, building city walls, and building all kinds of siege equipment, it can be said that these people include basically all craftsmen. The rest are the real people, these are ordinary service people who are responsible for escorting grain and grass materials from the Central Plains, but they are unlucky now and are left here.

Among all the people, the auxiliary soldiers are the objects of Chen Kefu's preparation for training, and he plans to go to the people to pick up the strong and strong in addition to the six divisions that have already been established, and conduct rough training. to replenish the source of troops in the future. As for the rest of the craftsmen and people, there are basically not many really strong men, most of them are people in their forties and fifties and weak health, and he either doesn't want such people, and he can't do it. ,

With his current ability, it would be good to be able to truly train 20,000 people from these people. His real idea was to train the remaining Fifth and Sixth Divisions, at least to train them to the level of ordinary infantry soldiers, and as for the others, they could just form a formation or something. These people are unreliable when they are critical, as long as they stand behind and wave their flags and shout.

As for the 40,000 people who were transferred to the four cities, including Xincheng, they were only used as miscellaneous servants to defend the city. He wouldn't believe that Li Benlei and other cavalry generals could still help him train an elite infantry when defending the city.

"Luo Lin, have you picked the people of the fifth and sixth divisions?"

"General, 20,000 people have been selected, I went to see it in the morning, Chen Fu and Chen Gui have a good eye, and all of them are strong men. Oh, by the way, I saw this morning that General Chen Gui's sixth division was also there, and General Chen Gui asked them to be battalion commanders, and one person led 400 people. It can be seen that they are very happy, and they are all very happy. When I came back, I was asked to say hello to the adults. ”

Chen Kefu was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are still in the camp?" Didn't they go back with Tang Guogong? ”

"My lord, they are the guards of the broken barracks, how can they leave after His Majesty has ordered us to break the barracks. If this is gone, it is a deserter, and desertion is a capital crime. "Rollin deliberately pretended to be a serious man.

"Less, this great karmic law also stipulates eight discussions. They are nobles, and they are in the midst of the Eight Councils. The children of nobles like them couldn't be taken seriously when they came to break the barracks, and even if they wanted to leave, it was nothing. But they were willing to stay, which was beyond my expectations. Didn't I send them to the heavy cavalry battalion, though? They are two new recruits in the battalion, and the ones I asked to be transferred to the new army are the team leader and the team deputy. The battalion commander of the new army has to break the deputy of the barracks, how can they be transferred to the new army as battalion commanders as soon as they are new soldiers? ”

Luo Lin chuckled twice, "My lord, that's Tang Guogong's sister-in-law, and your brother-in-law, who really dares to treat them as small soldiers." Don't you know, although these Li Shimin and the others are young, they are not like those noble children in Luoyang, Chang'an. Especially this Li Shimin, although he is young, his brain is very active, and as soon as he arrived at the heavy cavalry camp, he immediately fought with those people. This guy has no aristocratic shelf, and he is kind, and the most important thing is that he is very generous, he treats guests every day, and all kinds of delicious food are not left behind by everyone. You said, even if it's not an adult's brother-in-law, then everyone will definitely not treat these two boys badly, not to mention the identity of an adult. "

Hearing him say this, Chen Kefu also understood that it was impossible for a son of an aristocratic country like Li Shimin to mix so well in a broken military camp full of low-level backgrounds. But this kid can be a man, and he wears his own tiger skin, so he can mix like a fish in water.

"Well, let's go and have a look, I also want to go and see these two boys, I've been in my broken barracks for a few days, see if anything has changed."

Luo Lin followed behind Chen Kefu and said in a squeaky voice, "General, that, I have a request, I hope the general can agree to me." ”

Chen Kefu looked at him like that, smiled and said, "Luo Lin, you have been with me for a long time, right?" I've always treated you like a brother, and if there's anything you want to say to me and anything else you're embarrassed about, just say it. As long as you say it is reasonable, I will promise you. ”

"Well, General, I feel very honored to be the captain of your personal guard, but I want to go to the New Army. Even if you can't be a division commander, it's better to be a battalion commander. It's good to be by the side of the general, but you can't always roam the battlefield freely, hey, it's suffocating me. You see that General Chen Qing is not much older than me, he is now a general, guarding a city alone, even if it is General Zhang He, it is also a single army. I'm the only one, and even though I still have the name of a brave general, I can only command a hundred of the general's personal guards. Rollin said with some embarrassment.

Chen Kefu looked back at Luo Lin, who had experienced several battles, and this young man, who was now only in his early sixteens, had lost the jerkiness he had when he first saw him. The face that had experienced the beacon fire was much darker, and there was a beard on his mouth, although there were not many of them, but it made people not see that this was a sixteen-year-old young man at all. ,

Not only is his face dark, but Luo Lin's body is also thicker, wearing a black general's armor with a broken barracks, and a black cloak behind him, looking quite delicate. Chen Kefu stretched out his fist and struck him heavily on his chest a few times, looked up and down a few times, and said, "Yes, it is indeed a lot stronger." Looks like you have been wronged by staying by my side, right? ”

Luo Lin's dark face suddenly swelled red, "My lord, I don't feel wronged, I just want to lead the troops, otherwise I will always follow the adults in the future, and there will never be any progress in the future. I'm nothing, but it will affect the prestige of the general. ”

Chen Kefu smiled, "Okay, you don't need to say it, wait a while, I'll let you go down to lead the troops after a while, you can lead a battalion if you want to, and you can lead a division if you want to." However, if you don't bring it well, you will have to come back to be the captain of your own guard honestly. ”

Luo Lin originally thought that there was no drama, but he didn't expect it to be done in the end, although it was said that it would take some time, but he already felt that it didn't matter. Hurriedly knelt down in front of Chen Kefu and said, "General Xie is complete, I will definitely not disappoint the general's expectations!" ”

Chen Kefu still likes this pro-soldier captain, he is not as sophisticated and slippery as Hu Hai and other generals, and the age of sixteen or seventeen is the hot-blooded youth. Such a person is most suitable to be cultivated as his confidant, and after such a long period of observation, he also found that Rollin's loyalty to him can still be seen. Sooner or later, such a person who is loyal to himself and capable will also be put down to help him master the troops. Promise him now, it's just a matter of sooner and later.

"Okay, I've promised you, what are you still rubbing, hurry up and lead the way, let's go to General Chen Gui's Vermilion Bird Division!"

Ask for some recommendation votes, I feel that it is not much different from the classification recommendation list, but I just can't go up. Ladies and gentlemen, let's smash the ticket
