Leave Qinzhou and turn to Pingliang.

At the end of the first month of the fifth year of the Great Qin Chengwu, Zhao Shi and his party came to Pingliang City quickly.

Li Chixun, the general of Pingliang, and Zhang Feng, who arrived here for a few days, gathered to welcome Yu Daozuo.

More than 20 years have passed, Pingliang City has undergone several changes, but it is much more depressed than what Zhao Shi saw back then......

There has been no war in the northwest for many years, and after the battle for the throne of the crown prince, the Pingliang Town Army went through several twists and turns, and finally lost its number and changed it to the jurisdiction of the forbidden army in front of the palace.

Li Chixun is a general in the northwest, because he was born in the Pingliang Town Army, he was burdened by the Qingyang Mansion Mutiny that year, and was squeezed out in the Northwest Army.

However, a few years ago, together with the Tubo soldiers of the Guiyi King, the forbidden army and the barbarian soldiers in Shuzhong, they waved their troops into Beijing together to help His Majesty ascend the throne, and they made a lot of contributions, and finally had room for advancement.

But in the end, his promotion was still suppressed, not because of anything on the side, but at that time, it was too chaotic, first, Pingliang needed to be guarded by the generals, in case of haste, the northwest army was unstable, what happened, and second, when the situation stabilized, and used troops in the northwest, Pingliang still couldn't do without him.

After waiting for a year and a half, Zhao Shi had already intended to use troops in Western Xia, and the letter persuaded him to be patient for a while, and then he would have his own use.

In this way, after making the merit of supporting the establishment, most of the others are infinitely beautiful, only Li Chixun, in addition to being promoted to the first class, is still the official residence.

Pingliang's subordinates here are all generals who are not worth it, but Li Chixun understands that the more he presses like this, the more benefits he may get in the future, and he can almost feel that the door to the position of general has opened a gap to himself.

Think about himself is nearly fifty years old, he will not let go of this opportunity, just wait, these years have passed, the rising star of the northwest who accompanied the Wei King Li Xuandao on the eastward expedition has gradually become white, and what is it to wait for this day?

Therefore, Pingliang here, under his suppression, is as calm as ever, as if nothing happened.

This is four years have passed, until today, finally waiting for the news of the attack on Western Xia, and finally waiting for the general Zhao Shi, if a few years ago, he was transferred to another side, now it is not good to say whether he can participate in this war, several years of patient waiting, finally paid off.

The only thing that worries him a little is whether Pingliang will have to defend it by himself, so the attack on the destruction of the country in Western Xia, but there is nothing to do with himself, that is the long-cherished wish of the generals of the northwest of Great Qin for many years, all the people who came out of the Western Army, between midnight dreams, dreamed of Daqin's battle flag fluttering at the head of Xingqing City, and Li Chixun was no exception.

When he arrived in Pingliang, surrounded by soldiers and horses, and Jin Ge Iron Horse, Zhao Shi suddenly felt a lot more comfortable...... The traces carved on his military career are too deep and deep, just as farmers can't do without fields and fishermen can't do without rivers.

"All the soldiers and horses will continue to arrive, how is the preparation of the military camp?"

"Don't worry, there were heavy troops stationed in Pingliang back then, and now there are not so many soldiers, so the barracks have been abandoned a lot, but most of the camps are still there, and the last general has already begun to let people clean up and prepare, especially several large warehouses in Pingliang, which have been vacant for a long time, and they should be able to be used this time, and they have all been cleaned up."

"It's just that the imperial edict hasn't arrived in Pingliang yet, so it's not easy to talk in the house, and there is no way to talk about the people, these are all preserved by the soldiers under the command of the last general in the past two years, otherwise, the mansion would have been stopped for other purposes."

Li Chixun took the opportunity to show his hard work here, and also gave eye medicine to those officials and men in the house.

Zhao Shi nodded, "It's hard for General Li, it's only in the first spring or two months, it won't be too long, Qingyang, Yanzhou, is where the army finally gathers, so, this time, General Li has to worry a lot, after that, Pingliang ......"

Zhao Shi smiled and shook his head, "General Li leads the troops well, and he has a reputation in the army, and there is a shortage of generals like General Li around me, so it is better to follow me to make contributions to the frontier in the future. ”

Li Chixun was overjoyed when he heard it, but it was not the same time, and he could still hold back his burning thoughts, hugging his fists and saying: "The last general is only willing to kill thieves for the country, it is the same everywhere, but it is a blessing to be able to serve under the command of the general." ”

"Okay, we have known each other for many years, so I won't say much, I have been leading troops in the east here, and I am not familiar with the northwest scenery, so I will have more help when the time comes."

Zhang Fengju next to him finally interjected, "Big brother, I'm in a hurry here, but here, the Tiger Wusheng Army also brought more than half of it...... However, I am not afraid that General Li will be unhappy, to be honest, it is really hard to say whether the west side can be used for many years and whether it can be used, so if you want me to say, it is better to transfer more elites from the east to come......"

Without Zhao Shi to speak, Li Chixun shook his head and said with a smile: "General Zhang has not returned to the northwest for many years, I am afraid that he no longer knows the situation here, although he did not participate in the battle a few years ago, I also heard that the various departments of the town army are indeed not as elite as they were back then, but the western thieves are even more ......unbearable."

"Besides, our men in the northwest are all strong and brave, but they haven't been in battle for many years, and they have been less tempered, as long as they fight a few battles, what's so difficult to recreate the style of the year?"

Although Li Chixun has been squeezed out in the Northwest Army over the years, he is still born here, and the meaning of maintenance is very clear.

Zhang Fengju was not afraid of him, he smiled and said: "General Zhang said something good, although he has been away from home for a long time, but his roots are still in the northwest, and his family has been talking about it in the past few years, they are all lamenting that the Western Army has been almost transferred, and there are few of the top ones left. ”

Since Zhang Feng got together to Pingliang, the two have been talking about this dispute a lot, but now in front of Zhao Shi, they are on top again.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhao Shi waved his hand and said: "The eastern territory is getting wider and wider, and the soldiers and horses can't be moved lightly, so this time, it must be based on the northwest soldiers and horses and the forbidden army in front of the palace, General Zhang is also good, the elite soldiers don't come out of thin air, there are as many brave men in the northwest as possible, and if you use them well, you won't be bad at the east soldiers and horses." ”

"Besides, we have succeeded in the first battle, and the northwest still needs soldiers and horses to garrison, are you a Uighur, and the Khitans are all vegetarians? At that time, the western army will have no elite, and the east will still have to move troops, will it not be possible to hand over the mountains and rivers that we have beaten down? ”

"What the eldest brother said is that the younger brother also came out of the Northwest Town Army, but it was just for the sake of the war...... This time, the younger brother brought more than 10,000 men and horses from the east, but when he encountered a lot of trouble, he wanted to follow, and the younger brother also felt that the military heart was available, and when the eldest brother led the troops to fight, it could also be more convenient. ”

When Li Chixun heard this, he closed his mouth, but he knew that the most descendant of the general Zhao Shi were all stationed in Hezhong and Hedong, and they could also be called the most elite soldiers and horses in Daqin today.

If he led the troops in the northwest, he would definitely transfer his descendants to come, and this obviously involved the factional disputes in the army.

After all, when you are older, after this battle, whether you can still lead the troops into battle depends on the chance, there is no need to fight with others anymore, with the merits of this battle, it is right to find a good place for yourself......

Zhao Shi just smiled, Zhang Fengju had his own reasons for worrying, but he was the head of the soldiers and horses of the Northwest Expedition Xia Zhulu, so he couldn't think like this.

When soldiers and horses from all walks of life gather, the most important thing is to see fairness, there are too many descendants, but there is something wrong.

However, this is not a big deal, the origin of the forbidden army in front of the palace must be complicated, but with the command of the forbidden army in front of the palace, the various departments can't make trouble.

There is the Zhang family in Yanzhou in the northwest, and there is the king of Guiyi in the lowlands of Tubo, and the barbarians in Shu don't know how many they can come, but when he is in Shu, he is famous among the barbarians in Shu, and it is also convenient to use.

From this point of view, it is not clear what relatives are close and far, and there is no need for the old department in Hezhong and Hedong to come to support the scene, but it adds to the estrangement between the various departments out of thin air.

Just like the two Eastern Crusades that year, when Li Xuandao, the king of Wei, led the troops, there was no less tossing between the Eastern Army and the Western Army.

And Zhang Peixian led the troops out of the customs, and it was the case, he and Wang Pei both became partial teachers, he was lucky, he didn't make a big defeat in Taiyuan Mansion, and Wang Pei didn't have that luck, and after a defeat, he almost didn't be able to turn over again.

And the main force led by Zhang Peixian also stopped troops under Luoyang City, back and forth, and the damage was quite serious, and it was not until the second year that Luoyang was captured.

If all the departments of the association can work together, not to mention Luoyang, even Kaifeng can't look at it, why are you still wandering around Heluo now?

Therefore, the most important thing in this mobilization of troops in the northwest is to look at a platoon of troops, and in addition to the need to guard against some of them, the other departments should take heavy responsibility according to the situation is the right way to use troops.

And as his thoughts become more and more mature, the number of men and horses he expects is also changing, and the men and horses of the various departments of Great Qin, preferably between 150,000 and 200,000, can not only reduce the pressure on the grain and grass, but also ensure that the various departments use sufficient attack power, too much is not beautiful.

Of course, this is because Mu Huali and Li Bandit can reduce the number of men and horses to this level under the control of the left and right armies of Western Xia, otherwise, it will take at least 300,000 horses to defeat Western Xia and spread it out on all roads.
