Chapter 248: Preparing to send troops
Chapter 248
After the winter passed, the land of Guanzhong was much more depressed.
The continuous war is like the most brutal rapist in the troubled times, ravaging the land of Guanzhong all over the body, many villagers and market towns were destroyed by the war, and the people were ruined, helping the old and the young to flee for thousands of miles, and leave their hometowns.
Hongnong is a little better, Zhang Ji did not take the initiative to fight others, and no one else will attack him for the time being.
Chang'an Sanfu area was suffered, Guo Yan raised troops to attack Chang'an in three days, and the Xiliang rebel army under his command was like locusts in transit, not only robbing the people, but also the gate lords of the scholar clan in Guanzhong were also crippled.
From this point, it can be seen that Guo Yanzhong is a simple military general, and he really lacks the ability to divide one side.
Such a person may be able to temporarily dominate one side with the soldiers and horses in his hands, but sooner or later he will be drowned on the beach by the big waves. And this kind of brutal and barbaric rule is tantamount to a great disaster for the people of the world.
Guanzhong is not calm, and the Central Plains is also not calm.
The snow has just melted, and before the beginning of spring, the Central Plains is lively again.
At the end of the first month, Yuan Shuqin led an army of 50,000 to cross the river from Liyang to the south and attack Shicheng.
In Jizhou, the Montenegrin thief Zhang Yan led more than 200,000 people to go down to Taihang Mountain to loot Changshan County and other places.
Yuan Shao hurriedly led the army north to meet the enemy, and the Montenegrin army was unable to win several battles, and he was unable to win several battles. into a stalemate.
Gongsun Zhan wanted to take the opportunity to take Qingzhou, and took Tian Kai as the history of Qingzhou, leading the army south to Linzi.
Yuan Shao was dragged by the Montenegrin army, and he had no time to separate, so he had to urge the army to attack the Montenegrin army urgently.
As for Yanzhou and Xuzhou, they are relatively calm. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian is not young. And there is no ambition to dominate the world, as long as no one comes to attack. will not use the sword in vain.
When Cao Cao first entered Yanzhou, his foundation was unstable. We are seizing the time to appease and gather people's hearts and expand armaments.
Yizhou Mu Liu Yan seems to want to guard Xichuan as the king, and he doesn't have much ambition to expand the territory, only Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu is a heart disease, but he doesn't dare to raise troops to attack, and he is really a dog.
Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is similar, he also has little ambition to expand the territory, and just wants to guard Jingzhou and become king.
From this point of view, these two brothers who belong to the same clan are really the same thing.
He wants to divide one side and claim the king. But he didn't have a very strong ambition to be the emperor himself.
The state has no owner, it is chaotic, and the powerful clans are in their own way, and it has become a three-way zone.
As for Jiaozhou, it is too far away, and almost no prince can remember that there is such a place in Dahan for the time being.
Compared with the chaos and chaos of the war in Sili and Guanzhong, Liangzhou, which has always been in constant war, is very calm. So much so that many people are a little uncomfortable, after all, in the past, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were another, and the most chaotic was Liangzhou.
But at the moment, Liangzhou is calm and calm, and there is no wave at all.
Several capable officials under Luo Zheng. Under Xun Yu's central coordination, we are quickly straightening out internal affairs and seizing the time to organize the people to resume agricultural production. Accumulate money, food, and materials in order to raise troops to the east in a few years.
Silted rivers should be cleaned up. Bridges that have fallen into disrepair must be repaired, official roads must be leveled, and so on.
There are many things to do. It's so big and it's dizzying.
Although Luo Zheng became the shopkeeper and Xun Yu was fully responsible, he was still busy.
After all, there are still many things that need to be decided by him, the sovereign, and it is impossible to completely leave it alone.
The only thing that is not in harmony is that the Xiliang Rebellion Army under the command of Guo Yan will cross the border from time to time and run to Beidi, Anding Second County and Hanyang to fight the autumn wind, which makes Luo Zheng very annoyed, and on several occasions he personally led thousands of elite cavalry to block the Xiliang Rebellion.
In the palace of General Pindi, the monthly military meeting is underway.
Xun Yu talked about the internal affairs of the country, and rushed to the county rules of Longluo to report the situation in the county in detail.
After listening to this, Luo Zheng only gave a few words of encouragement, and then said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, tell me about the reorganization of the army." ”
Jia Xu responded, and said: "Our army originally had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and after defeating Ma Teng, Lu Bu, and Duan Xuan, more than 30,000 troops were recruited. Among them, 10,000 cavalry were retained, and most of the generals and colonels were served by the 3,000 old departments of the lord after the reorganization; There were 20,000 infantry, most of which were 8,000 elite soldiers under General Gao Shun. These 30,000 troops will be stationed in Longxian as the mobile force of our army. As for the soldiers and horses left behind in each county, they were recruited by the county guards themselves to maintain the most basic armament and law and order, but the number of men should not exceed 3,000; As for the Tuntian battalions in various places, except for the 20,000 Tuntian soldiers in Beidi and Anding counties, which were commanded by General Gao Shun, the rest of the Tuntian battalions were all directly managed by the General's Office, and the county guards in various places had no right to interfere. ”
Luo Zheng knocked lightly on the table and said: "The specific situation is like this, Liangzhou was initially decided, in general, strategically, our army needs two to three years to recuperate, and the people to take a breather, do their best to restore agricultural production, save money, food, soldiers and horses, if there is no foreign enemy to attack, in principle, our army will not have large-scale military operations, so the focus of you is to straighten out the internal affairs, and if there are mountain bandits and bandits in the territory, seize the time to exterminate them, and try not to let the military disaster toss the people." General Ben has only one goal, that is, to make the people rich, there is surplus grain in the warehouse, there is surplus money in hand, and it is never allowed that there are still people who do not have enough to eat, let alone let the people go into exile or starve to death. As long as this thing is done well, it will be a great achievement, otherwise it will be severely punished. ”
Wu Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, said with a sad face: "It is easy to exterminate a small group of bandits and bandits, and three thousand garrison soldiers can also be competent, but if the Qianghu of Qiangyuan of eight hundred miles raises troops to attack, I am afraid that it is not a county of soldiers and horses can resist it." ”
"You don't have to worry about that!"
Luo Zheng shook his head and said, "Wenhe, tell me about our army's plan!" ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "As long as Lord Wu Yi is in charge of the territory, there are no small bandits in the territory, and if the Xiqiang tribes raise troops to attack, the lord will not sit idly by." Moreover, the lord has decided to use troops against Xiliang after the beginning of spring, and take advantage of the great vitality of the Xiqiang tribes to sweep away the 800-mile Qiang Plain in one fell swoop and completely eliminate the Xiqiang border troubles. The strategy for the expedition has been decided, and the initial plan is to send troops after the wheat is planted in early February. ”
Wu Yi arched his hand and said, "Even so, there is nothing to say below." ”
Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Since General Ben became the master of Yunwu in Jincheng, the bandits in the territory have already been wiped out, Ziyuan only needs to deal with the relationship with the Qianghu tribes, and don't force the Qianghu tribes to this general." ”
Wu Yi responded: "Obey the order." ”
Luo Zheng looked at Zhao Yun again and said: "Zilong, the two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye are connected to the desert in the north, and the Huns in Yanhai also have tens of thousands of soldiers who can fight, and the border problems are also very strict, so this general asked Zilong to temporarily lead the two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye, and the Huns are in the way, and the Xianbei people will not cross the Juyan Sea for the time being." However, the general slaughtered Hugh and slaughtered each Hu, Zilong needed to prevent the Huns living in Haiyan from going south to plunder, if conditions permitted, he might as well shrink the defensive line and move the Han people in the area of Juyanhai to the hinterland for resettlement, and wait for the general to sweep away Juyanhai in the future, and then the people will settle in Juyanhai. ”
Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”
Jia Xu said: "The Huns in Juyanhai are not enough to be troubled, and they keep dogs that can be used as gatekeepers. With the Huns in the way, the Xianbei people will not go south. Wait for the lord to sweep the 800 miles of Qiang Plain, it is best to pacify Guanzhong, and when he wants to conquer the desert, it is not too late to take the Huns who live in Yanhai. Therefore, General Zilong's current focus is not to sweep away Juyanhai, but to find an opportunity to fiercely deter the Huns in Juyanhai, so that they do not dare to raise troops to plunder our Han people. ”
Zhao Yun said: "Don't worry, the military advisor will get it!" ”
Luo Zheng looked at Gao Shun again and said: "Boping, the north is connected to the desert in the north, Lu Bu crossed the Lingwu Valley, went around from the desert to the opposite side and robbed the Huns of the Hetao several times, and the Huns sent troops to retaliate several times, if you have the opportunity, you must give those Huns a profound lesson, it is best to beat those Hu people who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, so that they will not dare to lead the crowd to attack!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Gao Shun didn't say much, but he was sonorous and powerful.
As a military general, Gao Shun may not be good at governing the place.
But as long as it is where Gao Shun sits, Luo Zheng is the most assured.
Luo Zheng said: "There is still a month before the date of dispatching troops, this general conquest of foreign races, has always been based on looting and killing, this time is no exception, the army will not carry grain and baggage, purely rely on war to feed the war, the generals went down to tell the soldiers, to the general to sharpen the swords, the loot to take out one-third, according to the number of kills to the soldiers. ”
"The last general obeys!"
Zhang Liao, Yan Xing and others will all surrender their orders.
Luo Zheng finally said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, our army does not have much time, only two to three years at most, and at the latest, we must pacify Guanzhong within three years at the latest, so that we can have the opportunity to raise troops to march east and attack the Central Plains." Otherwise, no matter who unifies the Central Plains and Hebei, our army will have no chance to enter the Central Plains again if it wants to use the people's and material resources of more than 1 million people in Guanliang. And the only thing that governs our army's eastward advance is internal affairs and population, and it is necessary to work hard to make Liangzhou completely stable. ”
Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the lord will do his best!" ”
Luo Zheng nodded, and asked about the reorganization of the cavalry.
After the beginning of spring, troops were dispatched to Xiqiang, and only 10,000 cavalry were mobilized, and 20,000 infantry were stationed in Longxian, and they would not move lightly. And whether to sweep away the 800 miles of Qiang Plain in one fell swoop and completely pacify the trouble of Xiqiang, 10,000 cavalry is the key.
Luo Zheng originally had a large number of cavalry, but after the reorganization of the army this time, only 10,000 were retained.
Among them, nearly half of the conscripted Qianghu people were cut and dispersed to the Tuntian battalions in various places as reserve troops.
The 10,000 cavalry left behind are all elite veterans who have survived a hundred battles. (To be continued......) R1292
