Chapter 178: Situation
"Jojo, why are you here?" Bai Zhang saw Bai Qiao from a distance and greeted him, except for losing some weight, his complexion was quite good.
Bai Qiao walked up two steps quickly and said with a smile: "Brother, I'll take a look." ”
"All right, rest assured. The court hasn't heard any news yet, so there's no movement. "If the court doesn't move for a day, they have one more day to prepare. No news, that's good news.
"Come out at this hour, can you eat?"
"Yes, it may be a little cold, brother, do you have hot soup here?"
"Yes! Bring a bowl of soup! Bai Zhang commanded his personal guards in a loud voice. The guard nodded, quickly turned around and ran to bring over a bowl of soup.
"The soup is not delicious, the eldest lady can make do with it..."The guard looked at the few vegetable leaves floating in the soup and smiled.
"Nothing." Taking the soup, Bai Qiao drank half a bowl. The soup is really not delicious, and the taste is relatively bland, like water from a pot.
Although it was not delicious, the soup was quite hot, and I was sweating after drinking it. Bai Qiao comfortably untied his cloak and handed it to Xia Shuang, and he followed Bai Zhang to the depths of the tent.
Recruits form a team, veterans form a team, and each free military officer is trained. The deafening slogans are accompanied by the advance and retreat of the recruits and veterans, and from a distance, they are magnificent.
When Bai Zhang passed by the queue of recruits, he broke the wrist of the recruit holding the gun: "Keep your hands steady when you take it back!" ”
"Yes, lieutenant!" The recruits hurried down excitedly.
"One! Two! One! The military general shouted the trumpet, and the recruits hurriedly waved their tassels.
Bai Zhang looked at it for a while: "This recruit is training well, wait two days for them to compete in pairs." ”
"How many soldiers are there in Gangneung Mansion?" Bai Qiao nodded, and followed Bai Zhang forward.
"There are probably more than 5,000, and with these recruits, there are about 6,000."
"It's still too little."
"It's less, but there are tens of thousands of troops on the governor's side, and the situation is not too bad."
If the imperial court really sent troops down, it would be able to block it. Bai Zhang has estimated that there are not many armies that the imperial court can use and really hold in the palm of his hand. The soldiers and horses of the capital of Shangjing City are guarding the entire imperial city, and they are absolutely immovable. In addition, it is the loyal army west of Beijing, the loyal army was once the commander of the veteran general Zhao Huaizhong, and later Zhao Huaizhong was old, so he raised the two generals under his command, and the court named Xue Guifei's mother's nephew as a general, and the loyal army was divided into three and obeyed the emperor's orders. If it really wants to be pressed by a large army, it can only be one of the loyal army, with about thirty or forty thousand people. Otherwise, there is also the Beiding army directly north of Shangjing, but the Beiding army is too far to go south, and it is not as easy as the loyal army.
Walking to the camp tent in front, Bai Zhang raised his hand and lifted the curtain: "Come in!" ”
Bai Qiao followed. There was a sand table in the tent, and the sand table was very large, and it was the sand table of the entire Shannan Road. There are flags in all the cities of Jingzhou in Jiangling Prefecture, and the surrounding terrain and mountains can be seen at a glance.
"I just made it today, you see, if the imperial court wants to send troops, it will definitely come here first." Bai Zhang pointed with his finger, and continued: "The people of the governor have already been stationed, and they will be discovered as soon as they come." ”
Bai Zhang told Bai Qiao what he was thinking, in Bai Zhang's heart, although Qiao Qiao is a younger sister, she knows a little bit more than him, and she has a lot of ideas about these things in the army. His sister is really amazing.
Bai Qiao hummed. Each province has private soldiers, and the number of private soldiers is tens of thousands, which shows that the ten provinces have actually begun to secretly raise troops a long time ago. The Great Chu Ten Dao has long had selfish intentions.
It's really messed up.
