When Tian Yu stood at the south gate of Yangle City and saw clearly that the convoy that came from a distance was actually discharged for more than ten miles, he was really taken aback.

"With such a huge convoy, I'm afraid it's just emptying the entire Lingzhi City, right?" Tian Yu secretly thought in his heart.

"Sun Li, the deputy general of Longhuwei, was ordered by Liu Shiren to escort the grain team to Liaodong, this is the certificate seal of the transfer of soldiers and horses, and I also asked Tian Junshi to personally see it!"

Although the two sides inside and outside the city could already confirm the identity of the friendly army, Sun Li still strictly followed the rules of the army, stood under the south gate and shouted loudly to Tian Yu at the head of the city, and then sent a soldier to the city gate to put the seal letter and Liu He's letter into the hanging basket put down at the head of the city.

Nowadays, the cities of Liaodong are still under wartime control, and the four gates are closed even during the day to prevent the enemy's surprise attacks and the infiltration of spies.

After Tian Yu inspected Sun Li's seal letter to enter the city, he immediately ordered the south gate to be opened to welcome the Dragon Tiger Guard and the grain transport team into the city.

Watching the carts loaded with food, forage, and various logistical supplies drive into the city one after another, the garrison at the head of the city was full of joy and anticipation.

"The food delivery team finally arrived on time, we must be able to eat meat and drink wine tonight, right?" Soldier A said drooling.

"That's for sure. This time, the grain team was personally sent by the eldest prince from Jicheng, and there is still a lack of wine and meat to treat us! Soldier B said confidently.

"Hi, hi! You two pay attention to the image, don't embarrass our Zhenbei Army, hurry up to the warehouse to help unload the goods! Team leader C waved his fist and drove the two men off the city.

After entering the city, Sun Li and Tian Yu carried out the handover of military supplies, sent one-third of the supplies in the convoy into the city, and then led the team to the direction of Changli non-stop. Before Sun Li left, he left Xu Miao with 500 Dragon and Tiger Guard soldiers as the backbone and coach of Xu Miao's temporary teaching team in the future. Zhang Nan stayed behind to assist Xu Miao, while Zhang Kai went to Changli with Sun Li.

Inside Yangle City. With the arrival of a large number of military supplies, the once somewhat dull and depressed atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic.

As soon as he arrived in Yangle, he took turns to visit the various battalions in the city to comfort and reward the troops, and sprinkled the cold clothes, all kinds of bacon, soju, herbs and silver money, and then exchanged all the soldiers for the gratitude of the eldest son Liu He.

If it weren't for the fact that the materials sent this time were so abundant, Tian Yu would definitely stop Xu Miao's behavior similar to that of a "loser". Xu Miao and Tian Yu were both born in Youzhou, the two are authentic fellow villagers, and they naturally get along very well after meeting. Tian Yu was not worried at all that Xu Miao would rob him of his power and credit after he came. Before Liaodong was completely taken down, those were all villains.

After Xu Miao finished the first step of winning the hearts of the people, he organized the 500 infantry left by Sun Li to himself into a teaching team, filled in the registration list for everyone, and then assigned them to the barracks, according to his requirements and practices, each person was responsible for mastering and understanding the family origins and personal information of at least 30 soldiers, and recorded them in the book as an important reference for subsequent transformation education.

It's a huge job. Without the assistance of these 500 Dragon and Tiger Guards, relying only on Xu Miao and the dozen or so subordinates of the Propaganda Department he brought, I am afraid that it would take three months to complete it without sleeping all day.

The Dragon Tiger Guard is the forbidden army of Liu Yu and his son, and all the soldiers who enter the Dragon Tiger Guard. It must be a child of a good Han family who lives in Youzhou, so absolute loyalty can be guaranteed. In addition, Liu He has also begun to carry out literacy and literacy operations in the army in recent years, and the Dragon and Tiger Guard soldiers in Jicheng are the first to bear the brunt. Those students at Yenching University are regarded as the best objects for apprenticeship teaching. Therefore, Long Huwei may not be the most capable unit among the five armies of Youzhou and the two armies of Jizhou, but it is certainly the unit with the highest overall cultural literacy.

Liu He often said that "an uneducated army is a stupid army." Over the years, the generals under him have endured a lot of hardships for this, and they have been forced by him to learn all kinds of cultural knowledge and simplified characters, hard pen writing, etc., and now even the middle-level generals like Lu Chihu and Tang Meng, who have no cultural foundation, know some words to some extent, and can read military orders and official documents.

Tian Yu was still skeptical about Xu Miao's ability, because he really couldn't imagine how Xu Miao's single-handedness could transform the more than 15,000 demoralized and thoughtful Liaodong soldiers in Yangle City into usable soldiers who abided by military discipline and obeyed orders. But when he saw 500 soldiers with charcoal and draft clips in their hands entering the barracks and making friends with these Liaodong soldiers in style, he knew that it would not take more than three months for Xu Miao to be able to reinvent these Liaodong soldiers.

What surprised Tian Yu the most was these Dragon and Tiger Guard soldiers who could fight with knives and pen as officials, as long as such soldiers went through a few years of training, they would either serve as junior officers in the army, or transfer to the local government office as clerks, in short, no one would be drowned in the army of hundreds of thousands.

When Xu Miao's side spread out the shelves and was busy, Sun Li had already escorted the grain team to supply Changli City and Fuli City successively. Binxi City, which originally belonged to Han Zhong, and Xihe City, which Wang Jian was stationed, could not burn or take away the grain and grass stored in the city because Gongsun Du was in a hurry when he evacuated, so the grain and grass were quite sufficient, and there was no need to replenish it this time, as long as he sent someone to send some wine, meat, money and food needed for the New Year's Festival.

Sun Li once took over the post of Juyong Guan from Xu Huang, and the two also had a lot of contact when they were in charge of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, and they were very cordial after this meeting, and they talked to each other about the war they had participated in in the past two years.

Sun Li took out Liu He's handwritten letter to Xu Huang, and Xu Huang looked solemn after reading it.

"Gongzi asked me to take full charge of the war on the eastern and western fronts of Liao, set up a temporary front-line command, and integrate the cavalry of the Liao Army, the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army, the infantry of the Dragon and Tiger Guards, and the troops of Liaodong to attack the west bank of Liaoshui by April next year at the latest."

"Congratulations to Brother Gongming! This is a signal that Childe is ready to promote you to be the commander of the first army! ”

Childe's order made Huang feel uneasy. On the Western Front, there are now Youtian Military Division, Director Xu, and the Deda brothers, how can I command and mobilize you? ”

"Brother Gongming, you can rest assured, Sun Mou knows that he is two catties, this time he led the army to Liaodong, and he will definitely not do anything to take the lead from the guests, everything is based on your horse. Xu Jingshan has a special mission, and he will not interfere in the affairs of military aircraft without authorization. Zhang Nan and Zhang Kai came to Liaodong this time to perform meritorious service, and they can be used as pioneers at that time. Tian Junshi has worked with you for half a year, and now they have a tacit understanding, even Gongzi and Guo Junshi are praising it, so the matter of forming a front-line command will not encounter any resistance. ”

Xu Huang listened to Sun Li's analysis and had a bottom in his heart, so he handed over the defense of Fuli City to Sun Li, and he returned to Yangle City with a few men and horses to discuss with everyone about planning the formation of a temporary command on the Western Front.

As Sun Li analyzed, Tian Yu, Xu Miao and others had no opinion on Liu He's decision, and they all agreed that now that the number of soldiers and horses on the Western Front had exceeded 30,000, a unified command and dispatch organization must be established as soon as possible, so as not to order out and seize the door and hinder each other.

After some discussion, everyone elected Xu Huang as the chief general of the various troops on the Western Front temporarily, Tian Yu as the military advisor, Xu Miao as the chief secretary, Sun Li as the deputy general, Zhang Nan and Zhang Kai brothers as the left and right vanguards, Han Zhong and Wang Jian returned to Lingzhi with the grain transport team, met with Liu He, and then waited for Liu He to appoint them with new positions.

In fact, Liu Heda could issue an appointment order to let Sun Li or Xu Miao take him to Liaodong, but in order to test the overall concept of several subordinates, he deliberately threw this problem to Xu Huang and the rest. Now it seems that the wisdom of the masses is infinite, and Xu Huang has properly solved this difficult problem through prior ventilation and primitive democratic consultation, not only successfully forming the front-line headquarters, but also allowing several people to accept the division of tasks in a comfortable mood.

When the army is outside, what they are most afraid of is discord among the generals, internal divisions, mutual restraint and even calculation. Xu Huang's current official position is the deputy general of the Liao Army, and he is higher than Tian Yu in terms of qualifications, but he can't compare with Sun Li and Xu Miao. Tian Yu's identity is the military division of the Zhenbei Army, and when he came to Liaodong, he not only brought 3,000 cavalry of the Zhenbei Army, but also 5,000 temporarily recruited Wuhuan cavalry, which was much higher than Xu Huang in terms of strength. Sun Li's identity is the deputy general of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, and this time he came with 5,000 Dragon and Tiger Guard infantry, and the number of troops is still more than Xu Huang. Although Xu Miao has no soldiers in his hands now, once he completes the education and transformation of the 15,000 Liaodong surrendered troops, he will be able to influence more troops than anyone else at that time. In addition, there are two generals, Han Zhong and Wang Jian, whether to use it or not, it is not up to Xu Huang or a few others to have the final say.

It is precisely because he has so many scruples that when Xu Huang first saw Liu He's letter, he did not have half a happy and complacent mind, but realized the thorny trouble of the problem.

Of course, with the establishment of the temporary headquarters of the Liaodong and West Fronts, these problems have been properly solved, Xu Huang can let go of his hands and feet, and Tian Yu and the others don't have to push each other around, they just need to work together according to Xu Huang's ideas.

After the formation of the temporary headquarters, the first thing Xu Huang did was to readjust the strength of the troops stationed in the cities on the western front, he transferred Sun Li and the 4,000 Dragon and Tiger Guard infantry to Xihe City to prevent the Liaodong Navy Division from attacking from the sea, and sent 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry to Tian Yu, so that Tian Yu could be stationed in Changli City to prevent the harassment and attack of Xianbei in Liaodong in the north, and gathered the 6,000 elite cavalry of the Liao Army and the Zhenbei Army, and stationed them in Fuli City directly under his command, and handed over the 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers that had been put together in Yangle City in the past two years to Zhang Kai under his command. Temporarily stationed in Binxi City.

After this adjustment, the eastern and western lines of Liao can be attacked and defended, and the five cities have formed an overall deployment. (To be continued......)
