The 20,000-strong army led by Huang Kui had not yet entered the jurisdiction of Shannan West Road, and Li Rupei got accurate information.

Huang Hua never dreamed that the army he led, despite its rapid action, was discovered by the people, and the people quickly reported the news to the government, and the government got such important information, and after verifying it in the shortest possible time, it reported to the authorities.

The people of Shannan West Road are no longer the common people of the past, they really feel the love of the government, they need to keep the fruits of their labor, and the government that they are unwilling to protect their interests has been beaten.

The festival makes the yamen, the wing.

Gao Chibang, Huang Biao, Song Hu and other major generals of the Iron Army, Ma Haoxuan, Qian Shiqu and other civilian officials are all waiting here.

When Li Rupei entered the wing, he saw everyone's anxious expressions.

"Why, Huang Kuo led an army of 20,000 to attack, and you feel the pressure and have no confidence."

After the iron-blooded army took Liangzhou, many sergeants were a little proud, thinking that being able to kill the former Jiedu envoy Lu Yanhong showed that the combat effectiveness of the iron-blooded army was unusual, and even invincible in the world, this sentiment was severely criticized by Li Rupei, and even in the face of Gao Chibang and others, Li Rupei was also unkind, and directly pointed out that if the sergeant's pride and complacency were allowed to spread, the iron-blooded army would collapse in the shortest possible time.

In response to this situation, the Iron Blood Army quickly launched a rectification, mainly to warn many soldiers that they must not be proud and complacent, and they must not destroy the foundation of the Iron Blood Army, and the training in them on weekdays is even harsher.

In order to prevent these defeated sergeants from plundering everywhere, the Iron Blood Army screened and rectified all the sergeants, absorbed 5,000 people into the sequence of the Iron Army, selected 2,000 people to enter the patrol houses in various places, and the rest of the sergeants were disbanded on the spot, in line with the principle of where to go back and where to go, to digest, and to warn those who returned to their hometowns that if there were illegal acts, they would be subjected to the most severe punishment.

A few months have passed, and the Iron and Blood Army has been training hard, not only physically, but also ideologically, and all soldiers must keep in mind the concept of obeying orders and absolute obedience in all actions.

The total number of officers and men of the Iron Blood Army reached 15,000.

After Li Rupei became the king of Yi and the envoy of Shannan Xidao, he also standardized the official positions in the army of the Iron and Blood Army.

Li Rupei appointed himself as a general, the supreme commander of the iron-blooded army, Gao Chibang, Huang Biao, and Song Hu were appointed as generals, respectively, commanding 5,000 people, obeying Li Rupei's dispatch, and the general set up official positions such as Changshi, joining the army, division, Zhonghou, Sige, and halberd, and at the same time, according to the number of sergeants, 300 people set up a regiment, the highest officer is a captain, 50 people are a team, a team is set up with one person, ten people are fire, and a fire chief is set up.

It should be said that the Iron and Blood Army has established various military positions in accordance with the sequence of the regular army.

This process is also a process of further standardization of the Iron and Blood Army, during which there will inevitably be some small fluctuations, and Gao Chibang and others have tried their best to finally pinch the Iron Blood Army together.

At this time, Huang Kuo led an army of 20,000 to attack.

Gao Chibang and the others are not afraid of Huang Chao or Huang Kui, their thoughts are still to make the Iron Blood Army stronger, even if it is later, so that the Iron Blood Army can be better integrated, especially those recruits who have just entered the army, can be more familiar with the rules of the Iron Blood Army, and at this time they have enough confidence to face external attacks.

Li Rupei's words have a great stimulus to everyone.

Gao Chibang stood up and clenched his fists and spoke.

"General, the generals and a certain are not afraid, they just want to buy as much time as possible for the Iron and Blood Army to integrate."

Li Rupei nodded and motioned for Gao Chibang to sit down.

"I know what you think, but everything in this world can be as you wish, since Huang Chao dares to send a large army to challenge, then the Iron Blood Army will let them taste the power, so that they will always be afraid of the Iron Blood Army in the future."

Li Rupei's words were categorical, without the slightest hesitation, and everyone immediately understood that the general was ruthless this time and would not let go of Huang Hua and the 20,000 sergeants.

"The Iron Blood Army has added 5,000 new sergeants, and is stepping up training, the situation is known, but a certain has always believed that no matter what kind of training, it is not as good as the fight on the battlefield, only after the tempering of blood and fire on the battlefield, can it truly cast an invincible army, this time Huangchao sent 20,000 people to attack Liangzhou, it must be the elite sergeants dispatched, a certain thought it was just right, let a certain see, what kind of combat effectiveness does Huangchao's elite troops have."

"The life of the three armies, what do you rely on, that is, as a general, you and you, can charge ahead, can inspire all the soldiers, this war, for the iron-blooded army, is a big test, although it took only more than a year for the iron-blooded army to take Shannan West Road, but the army under the command of Lu Yanhong, and the army under the command of Huang Chao, there is no comparison, this is clear to you, and it is precisely because of this that you can understand your worries."

"This time against Huang Kui, a certain relative led a large army to the expedition, General Gao Chibang and General Huang Biao led 5,000 people under their command, a total of 10,000 people to meet the enemy, General Song Hu led 5,000 people under his command, responsible for the security of the entire Shannan West Road, to prevent Huang Kuo from dividing his troops or sneaking attack on Liangzhou from other places, in addition, the Yamen will warn the officials at all levels to play the role of patrolling the house and protect the city, and it is impossible for Huang Kuo to break through any city."

"The 20,000 army led by Huang Kuo moved very quickly, it seems that he was thinking of a quick battle, and there was no intention of fighting for a long time, so he thought that Huang Chao was too arrogant, the consumption of 20,000 troops was a lot, and a lot of grain and grass were needed every day.

"Ma Dianjun, Qian Thorn History, you are responsible for these things, tell the officials at all levels, mobilize the people to collect the food at home, if you find that Huang Kuo's army is passing by, the people will all take refuge in the mountains, or enter the city, you are not allowed to fund Huang Kuo, once discovered, you will not be spared." ……

After Li Rupei made the arrangement, Gao Chibang stood up again.

"General, in this expedition, it is enough to lead the army to meet the battle, please take command of the general."

After Gao Chibang finished speaking, Huang Biao, Song Hu, Ma Haoxuan, Qian Shiqu and others all stood up, echoing Gao Chibang's opinion, Li Rupei's identity is different after all, as a prince and a festival envoy, he can't personally get involved in danger, in case there is a deviation, it will be an irreparable disaster.

Li Rupei waved his hand again.

"I know what you mean, I am not so expensive, this battle is very important, the iron-blooded army is in the run-in period, and I must participate in the battle like you, so as to maximize the morale of the soldiers, you can rest assured, there is the favor of God, it is not so easy to get into trouble, this matter is decided."

"General Gao, within today's day, mobilize the troops stationed in Liangzhou, all of them are dispatched, the defense of Liangzhou, Qian Tingshi is fully responsible, and there are more than 1,000 patrols in the patrol room, which is enough to resist the sudden attack."

"General Huang, leading the 5,000 troops stationed in Bazhou, rushed to Yangzhou under the stars, and must arrive in Yangzhou within three days, and the battlefield this time is located in Yangzhou."

"General Song, the five thousand soldiers stationed in Lizhou have a great responsibility, you must not only pay attention to the movement in the direction of Xichuan, but also pay attention to the movement in Shannan Dongdao, you must not take it lightly, how the army is at the mercy of it, it is up to you to decide."

After the arrangement was completed, Li Rupei walked to the map, and his expression became grim.

"You must remember that the enemy of the Iron and Blood Army is not only Huang Chao, but also Chen Jingxuan and Liu Ziheng, and even other Jiedu envoys, don't think that the imperial court canonized a certain Yi king, some people in the court will be at ease, this time Huang Chao sent a large army to attack Liangzhou, in the eyes of some people, it is the best opportunity, maybe a knife in the back, it is also very possible, so officials at all levels should pay attention to the order of the Yamen of the Jiedu envoy is that during the expedition of the Iron and Blood Army, no matter where the army comes, it will not be received, The city gates are not allowed to be opened, the Iron Blood Army does not need any support, nor does it need any large army to enter the Shannan West Road, once such a situation occurs, the Iron Blood Army will be ruthlessly exterminated. ”

After Li Rupei said these words, everyone's expressions became serious.

Such situations abound in Datang, and robbery while the fire is burning has become a specialty of many people, but such a thing is never allowed to appear in Shannan West Road.

After everyone left, Qian Shiqu and Ma Haoxuan stayed.

"Qian Thorn History, during a certain period of leaving Liangzhou, you are responsible for all the major things, Ma Dianjun, you assist Qian Thorn History, mainly responsible for many matters of the Jie Du Yamen, the Jie Du makes the Yamen need to issue a lot of orders, and need to coordinate many matters, you discuss a lot, if there is a major matter, report it quickly, ordinary things, you don't need to report it, you make a decision directly."

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, the attack of the grain and grass is the basic guarantee of victory, and the Qian Thorn Shi is directly responsible for this matter, but you must remember that there is a certain principle, that is, you cannot increase the burden of the people, and the decisions made in front of the yamen cannot be violated, otherwise the iron-blooded army will lose the hearts of the people."

"This battle is very important, the iron-blooded army is facing a lot of problems, I'm afraid that there are many people in the court and the surrounding area watching, once the iron-blooded army can't completely wipe out the invading enemy, someone will definitely make a fuss and covet Liangzhou, so the iron-blooded army has no way to retreat in this battle, and can only cleanly destroy the invading enemy."
