Chapter 187: Trade-offs

"The situation you said is also possible, at present, it is difficult for the states to be subordinate to each other, and it just so happens that our army has broken through each other. However," Wu Yingying paused, and said in a deep voice: "The foundation of the Dingyan army is not in the states, but in the party and Qiang departments all over the five states, it is difficult to break through the five states and the Cai Prefecture army, and it is difficult to subdue the party departments, if our army hastily breaks through the five states, but it is difficult to subdue the various departments, and when the foothold is not stable, the Song court sent a large army to attack me, and the party departments responded en masse, do you think we can support it?"

Yu Furen's face changed suddenly, and the situation that Wu Yingying said was very likely, the five states of Dingyan were actually surrounded by the border towns of the Song Kingdom, and the reason why they still maintained a semi-independent state was because of Cai's century-old operation in the Dingyan Army, and the support of all party departments. If Lanzhou gets rid of Cai, it may happen to make a wedding dress for Song Guo.

"Therefore, we must be able to determine the five states, not only to be able to break it, but also to be able to defend it. You can't be too anxious. Captain Yu Fu, I have a lot of trust in you. Wu Yingying looked at Yu Furen and said word by word.

"My lord, but I have an order, and the last general will not dare to disobey. Yu Furen immediately bowed down and said.

"In this battle, more than 2,000 tribal Qiang soldiers were captured, all of whom were from the land, and these people were the capital for us to gradually gain a foothold in the five states of Dingyan. Wu Yingying asked Yu Furen to straighten up first, and then said slowly, "Carefully screen these captured warriors of Dijinze, and send them back to Lanzhou as slaves if they can't be used, and select those who can be used into the White Feather Battalion, and you will lead the troops stationed in Dijinze, first subdue the Qiang tribes that are related to them, and then slowly recruit the warriors at the bottom of the Qiang tribes in Dijinze." ”

"The last general understands, just like what Captain Xin's hussar battalion did in Mobei. Yu Furen suppressed the surprise in his heart and replied in a deep voice. The task given to him by Wu Yingying is really reused, and if he does a good job, it is possible for the White Feather Battalion to expand to thousands of people. The effective subjugation of the steppe tribes by the Xingu Hussar Battalion is a model, among these tribes that have not yet been fully civilized, the nobles are always a minority, and a large number of warriors from the lower tribes are actually not loyal to their own tribes. The Lanzhou army does not ask about the background, only by virtue of courage and the recommendation of brothers, and military merits are all very attractive to these tribal warriors, once the foundation of the Qiang tribe is hollowed out, then when to uncover the most superficial layer of skin, but just choose the time.

"Hmm. Wu Yingying nodded with satisfaction, "These two thousand warriors and the subordinates behind them are afraid that they don't have the strength of nearly 10,000 people, and if they are placed on the ground, they can be regarded as a big force." In the past two years, Cai Jifeng has been worried about us as a big help for him to seize the Xiazhou Dingyan Army, and he will not be embarrassed by you, you have to seize the opportunity to collect and annex the Jinze tribe, and if you encounter something really unruly, you can also slaughter a few Liwei. But you must be gracious and powerful, Captain Yufu, I have high hopes for you. There is Captain Xin's hussar battalion in Mobei for your back road, and Lanzhou's financial resources to recruit warriors for you, but the ultimate success of this matter depends on Captain Fu's ability. ”

Wu Yingying's tone was calm, it seemed that it didn't matter whether the Bai Yu Battalion's trip was successful or not, but Yu Fu Renliang knew that this matter was very important, Wu Yingying trusted each other, how could he not guard himself, so he asked cautiously: "The last general led the army to station in Jinze, dare to ask who is the deputy?"

"Adjutant General?" Wu Yingying was a little surprised, and immediately understood Yu Renliang's intentions, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "You can do everything in this matter, there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, Lanzhou and Dijinze are only thousands of miles away, I can't entrust a special person, what if there is a land of thousands of miles in the future?"

It's not that he's not completely trusting too much to be dissent. The centurion and ten-division commander under the White Feather Battalion were not appointed by Yu Fu Renliang, and there were many members of the Brotherhood who checked and balanced them, if the leading generals had any changes, it would be impossible to change the personnel, but the officers of the Lanzhou Army were all elected, and the popularity was quite high, and there was no reason to live hard, so I am afraid that the soldiers below would not agree.

The fundamental reason for the formation of warlord division is that soldiers are generals, and the Lanzhou army just reversed him, the lowest sergeants relied on their ability, and the middle-level officers relied on popularity, and their personal affiliation with senior officers was reduced to the lowest point. To a certain extent, the whole of Lanzhou is indeed a militaristic state that puts the interests of the soldiers first. The preferential treatment given to the people is just a long-term plan for governing the country and securing the country.

Cooperation is strong, division is weak, this truth has been instilled in the Lanzhou army sergeants through the brotherhood all the time. If there is really a rebellion, whether the soldiers are taken over by the Great Song Dynasty or the Liao State, or any separatist force, it is impossible for them to have the status and practical benefits given to them by Lanzhou, such a rebel army must be centrifuged up and down, and the Lanzhou headquarters can be easily defeated.

"Your Excellency has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, and you will dare not repay each other in the end!" Yu Fu Renliang said excitedly. He thought of the scene of the power of Lanzhou having a land of thousands of miles in the future, and he was a heavy general in this regard, and he was in charge of the place for thousands of miles, which could be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

The leader of the Sleeping Mud Tribe, Kishipo, looked at Cai Jifeng with eagerness, if it weren't for the fact that the cavalry of the Lanzhou Army next to him strictly forbade the prisoners to make noise, he would have screamed loudly. Just now, the people of the Black Cloud Capital of the Lanzhou Army made it clear that the adults in these states could use fifty Han people to redeem their relatives, and Sleeping Ni'anpu asked himself that he was also the head of a large tribe, so he had to let Cai Jifeng redeem him, but several party nobles who made a noise just now were shot dead on the spot. The Lanzhou army was angry that this group of people could be ransomed and bought. Everyone was silent, looking at Cai Jifeng and the other three with eager eyes, and selecting the prisoners one by one.

Cai Jifeng almost lowered his head to choose his relatives, fifty Han people for an iron harrier, just now in the account felt that it was a very cost-effective deal, when he chose how difficult it was. This time, two hundred iron harriers were brought out from Xiazhou, all of them were loyal cronies to him and Cai Jiyun, and if they were all redeemed, they would require 10,000 Han people, according to the rules of the last Lanzhou ransom, they must be able-bodied, deaf and clear-sighted, not more than forty years old, and weigh more than seventy pounds. Although Xiazhou has taken many Han households from all over the country, it is really difficult to draw out so much labor in a hurry. At present, Cai Jifeng really wants to use the gold and silver of the Han people to redeem these iron harriers last time in Lanzhou, this Wu hero is a dead brain, he doesn't want gold and silver, he doesn't want war horses, just the Han people. And there is also a word in advance, if you are singled out for preferential treatment first, and you don't redeem people afterwards, then you will be killed directly, even if it is a good ticket to tear up.
