The day after the meeting of broken leaves, at two o'clock in the morning, the first meeting of the Anxi capital protector tent after Zhang Mai established the identity of the envoy was held.
Although the Broken Leaf Society set the four major goals of "saving the Tang people, contacting Chang'an, recovering the Western Regions, and comprehensively revitalizing the Tang Dynasty", thinking about the current situation of the Tang Army in Anxi, people who are a little older feel that these four goals are just slogans to boost morale.
The old people all think that there are only 800 soldiers and horses, and it is a joke to talk about the restoration of the Western Regions and the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty. Even contacting Chang'an is an almost impossible task in the current situation.
Yang Dingguo and others believe that the most important thing at the moment is how to survive.
The new Shattered Leaf City has been destroyed, and even if it is necessary to rebuild the city, reopen the fields, and re-graze, it will not be possible because the Hui people may come back at any time.
In other words, the land has to be abandoned. The Anxi army and civilians are already destined to migrate, and now the question is: where will the Anxi Tang army go after giving up this land?
At the meeting, Guo Shidao first promulgated new military personnel appointments.
The Anxi Tang Army of the new Broken Leaf City is divided into two divisions of military and civilian, the military department is a combat unit, there are 800 people, after the broken Leaf City, the army withdrew into the Spark, during the period when Zhang Mai exercised martial arts, Guo Shidao and Yang Dingguo adjusted the population of the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Army, reduced the productive population, and selected two hundred and fifty strong men to transfer to the combat troops, these people originally had the militia Su zhì. When the broken leaves are still there, the combat troops are usually training, and when they are busy with agriculture and animal husbandry, they will help produce and be ready to attack at any time, and these people are mainly engaged in production in peacetime, but they have also been trained, and they can get horses, open bows, pick knives, and kill people in battle, and I believe that they will soon become a fierce soldier after the baptism of actual combat.
At the same time, Yang Dingguo presided over the selection of 150 prisoners who had been trained by An Shoujing and entered the original troops, so that it happened to be a large Chong Mansion and four battalions, totaling 1,200 people.
At this time, Guo Shidao promulgated the appointment, and among the four battalions: the first battalion of the Flying Bear Battalion Guo Shidao was his own general; The second battalion of the leopard Tao battalion had Yang Dingbang as the captain; The third battalion, the Yingyang Battalion, was captained by Guo Luo's uncle Guo Shiyong; The 4th Battalion Cavalry Battalion was captained by An Shoujing.
The reorganization of these four battalions has been completed in the spark, and now the appointment ceremony is only completed in the presence of Zhang Mai, the special envoy.
Subsequently, Guo Shidao clarified that the main topic of this meeting is to decide the development ideas of the Antang Army in the future. An Liu was the first to speak, and he proposed that three hundred miles to the west and four hundred miles to the north, there was a rather hidden river valley to live in, "Although it is even more difficult there than here, if we move there, the Hui people should not be able to find us for a year and a half." ”
However, this new Broken Leaf City is already a bitter cold place, and even Masoud thinks that it is a place where "birds don't", if it is three hundred miles to the west and four hundred miles to the north, what kind of place will it be!
"Do you really want to be a wild man in the mountains and forests?" Yang Yi said softly. An Liuyi was a little embarrassed when he heard it, but several young generals couldn't help laughing.
"But we can't help it. Although there are better water and grass to the southeast, and the weather is not so cold, it is too close to the Hui people to farm and graze sheep. An Liu said. This old man was the oldest in the whole military tent meeting, but he had the mentality of an angry youth, and he did not feel at all guilty when the young people were too enterprising to retreat and laughed.
Guo Shidao and the others also felt that this was a dilemma, Yang Dingguo sighed: "Actually, our broken leaf is already a very good place, the water and soil can be used for cultivation and grazing, the weather is bearable, and you can get some materials across the broken leaf desert in the south," he paused when he said this, "It's a pity that it has been discovered now." ”
Between avoiding the eyes and ears of the enemy and recuperating, this new Shattered Leaf City is in the best balance.
However, as an outsider who has traveled through thousands of years, Zhang Mai has the advantage of being a bystander, and has thousands of years of historical experience, and after some repetition last night, he has another kind of thinking about the future of the Anxi Tang Army in his heart!
"I think," Zhang Mai said, "Maybe we should adjust the thinking of the Anxi Tang Army before. ”
Hearing that Zhang Mai was about to put forward his own opinions, Guo Shidao and Yang Dingguo turned their heads to look over, and those young generals were even more full of expectations.
Although he didn't sleep all night last night, Zhang Mai's spirit at the moment seemed to be very full, and his voice was also very loud: "Yes, we shouldn't think about farming, shepherding, we shouldn't just think about dodging, thinking about sticking to it, and only defending and counterattacking when the enemy invades -- that's what we did when we were in the Central Plains, but now we don't have that kind of conditions." ”
Guo Shidao asked: "If we follow the envoy's intentions, what should we do?" ”
"I think ......" Zhang Mai was about to continue, but Ding Hanshan broke in, it stands to reason that no matter what happens when the meeting of the capital guards is held, no matter what happens, Ding Hanshan brought a terrible news that is enough to plan the meeting: "Eighty miles to the southeast, light cavalry has been found!" ”
"What! How could it come so quickly! Guo Shidao was shocked, the old man with half a hundred hairs drooped his eyelids, and issued an order like a cannon: "Yang Dingbang, Guo Shiyong!" ”
"In!"
"Leopard Tao Camp and Eagle Yang Camp set off immediately! If the enemy has few soldiers, try to annihilate them all! Don't miss a single one! If the enemy is strong, try to hold back! Before noon tomorrow, they must not be allowed to enter within thirty miles! ”
Yang Dingbang and Guo Shiyong immediately received the order.
"Xiao Cavalry Battalion, are you ready for the wrong path and traps?"
An Shoujing said: "It has been prepared for a long time. ”
"Well, if the enemy army is strong and Leopard Tao and Ying Yang can't resist it, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion will be used as a confusing army and responsible for luring the enemy astray!"
To lead the enemy into disarray, it is equivalent to fighting your own life to buy time for the main force! For those who confuse the army, nine deaths and one life! But An Shoujing did not hesitate: "Yes! ”
"Yang Dingguo!"
"In!"
"Immediately give an order, all the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are on their horses, waiting for the order at any time - as for the ...... who can't get on the horse," Guo Shidao sighed sadly: "Just withdraw into the Spark Fortress." ”
Zhang Mai's heart was blocked, Yang Dingguo had already received the order, and An Liu said: "Don't spark it?" ”
"The matter of the soldier can not be repeated! In the same rabbit hole, it is impossible to hide from the fox twice in a row. Guo Shidao said.
An Liu asked, "Then where should we retreat?" ”
Guo Shidao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take shelter in the river valley you explored first." ”
After everyone went out, there were only two people left in the military tent, and Zhang Mai saw that everyone had something to do, but he was idle, so he said: "Old Guo, arrange a little task for me too." ”
"This ...... Envoy, you are a golden woman, you must not be moved, you should stay in the tent. Guo Shidao said.
What a daughter. Although Zhang Mai was also afraid of death, he felt that he had become a bystander again at this moment. It made him feel bad.
Lifting the tent, everyone outside was busy in an orderly manner, except for himself, this feeling seemed to return to the time when he had just entered Shattered Leaf City.
At a glance, Tang Renxiao was still by his side - he was Zhang Mai's captain of the guard, and even at this time, he was not far away.
"Renxiao!"
"In!"
"Prepare my horse!"
