According to folk rumors, there was an unwritten rule in the Northern Army that at any time, a new soldier would not participate in the first battle more than a month from the first day of enlistment. In other words, if you are officially approved to join the Northern Army today, then you will only have thirty days to prepare at the latest, and then you will have to carry a broadsword and a spear to kill the flesh and blood of the enemy on the battlefield.

And this is something that Liang and Wei could not do, because they did not have the opportunity and object to sharpen their knives and practice their guns.

First of all, they would never dare to think about the Great Song Dynasty, they knew very well that as long as they made the slightest gesture on the border to use troops against the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Army would directly seize this golden opportunity and attack them on a large scale to train their troops, with the current national strength of the Liang State and the Wei State, once there was a major war with the Great Song Dynasty, they would be in danger of losing the country. It may reproduce the humiliation of being trampled by the king of the Great Song Dynasty in the later period of the Eight Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony. Therefore, they must not think of sharpening their knives with Da Song.

Second, they can't practice with each other. Between Liang and Wei, in the current situation, only by maintaining a relatively friendly relationship can they ensure that they will not be eaten by the Great Song Dynasty on a whim.

Only when the Liang-Wei alliance is there, the Great Song Dynasty will not start easily.

Therefore, they must not use each other to train their troops, if they practice, then the Great Song Dynasty will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight for a period of time, and then they will send troops to take them both down for the reason of reconciliation.

And thirdly, the Western Liang and the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions are absolutely beyond the reach of the Liang State and the Wei State. Originally, the Western Regions should be the best stone for their military training. But Da Song disagreed. Mo said how the Liang State and the Wei State traveled thousands of miles to Xiliang, as long as the Liang State and the Wei State dared to have the intention of moving troops in the west, the northern army would immediately warn them of the border.

Before the soldiers and horses came out, the border town was about to accept the attack of the Northern Army, although this attack was more symbolic of knowledge, but obviously, if you really have such an idea and really dare to do so, then our Great Song Dynasty will have to play with you for real.

In terms of public opinion in the world, Liang and Wei once wrote a letter to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for this purpose, and his words were quite resentful, saying that we just want to go to the west to train and train our troops, first, not to intrude on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and secondly, to use troops that have nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty, why do you always stop us.

Then the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty replied with a letter of righteous words. The main idea expressed is, how can you have the idea of going to the Western Regions to train troops? This idea of yours is very dangerous, and you should put an end to this idea. Today, you should focus on peaceful coexistence, how can you go the other way? On weekdays, you have always turned a blind eye to the difficulties of the countries of the Western Regions, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a great power? And now you not only do not fulfill your responsibilities, but even want to invade the Western Regions.

and sent the Western Regions to the Western Regions, transcribing the letters written by the Liang State and the Wei State and the reply letters of the Great Song Emperor many times and sending them to the Western Regions.

All the friends of the Western Regions, my Great Song will always stand behind you to protect you, no matter whether it is the Liang State or the Wei State that wants to hurt you, my Great Song Dynasty is willing to take all risks to block the iron horses of these people for you.

The people of the sixteen countries of the Western Regions were moved to tears when they saw the leaflets that the Great Song Dynasty had passed into their alleys.

But the princes and nobles of the Sixteen Kingdoms secretly scolded their mothers, saying in their hearts that you treat us as a training ground for your Great Song Dynasty, and you don't give Liang and Wei just don't want them to have this training ground, and you say it so high-sounding, it's really bad!

But one of the biggest characteristics of Yang Mou is that you know that it is his plan, but you can't pierce it or resist. 5200

So although the royal family members of the Sixteen Kingdoms were very dissatisfied with this operation of the Great Song Dynasty, they also had to admit that if it wasn't for the Great Song Dynasty to stop them, if they really let the Liang State and the Wei State also use their country as a training ground, then they would have suffered greatly from top to bottom, from the nobles to the ordinary people.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty said that it was to train their troops, but it was only to train their army, and it never harmed their people. They will even leak their military operations to them in advance, so that they can prepare in advance to reduce casualties.

If it is said that it is a military training, it is really a military training, and we are not interested in the ordinary people. This is what the leading captain said when the 3,000-strong team of the Northern Army was on a rampage in the Sixteen Kingdoms for more than ten days, but not a single citizen was injured, and then swaggered away.

Therefore, the current situation is that the Liang State and the Wei State can only try to catch up with the forces of the Great Song Dynasty from other ways other than military training. Although the gap is large and there are many difficulties, the difference between the military strength of the Liang and Wei states and the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is narrowing.

But Chen Letian has also said many times that we do have to pay attention to the gradual reduction of this strength, but we should not worry too much about this, and we must still work step by step when actually doing things, and we cannot rush for quick success. Only in this way can all our actions be based on the soldiers themselves, not to do things that are plucked out and promoted, not just to look at the few small steps in front of us...

chatted with Captain Lu until late at night, until the night guard was handed over, Chen Letian noticed that the time was already very late, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu go and rest, I forgot the time to talk tonight." ”

Captain Lu didn't smile, just tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's okay, then you can go back and rest, tomorrow I will take them into the city to the Prime Minister's Yamen to officially return to you." ”

Chen Letian said: "I won't go back to the city tonight, I will sleep with Xiaohu and them, I haven't slept in the camp outside for a long time." ”

Chen Letian got into the tent, and the brothers all got up with a grunt and lit the lamp.

Chen Letian said: "Good evening, brothers, brother, I'm back, let's sleep together tonight." ”

Everyone was stunned at first, but they didn't expect Chen Letian to come here to sleep, and then they all hugged him with a wicked smile and quickly pressed Chen Letian to the bottom like a stack of arhats. This is a game that everyone in the military often plays.

The last time they pressed Chen Lotian like this, it was because Chen Letian talked back to the general and was punished for running a hundred miles in one night, and after returning from exhaustion, everyone punished him, the captain, for playing like this.

However, unlike the last time, Chen Letian, who is now below, can actually easily turn the robes aside, but he didn't do it, but struggled hard a few times and still couldn't break free, and finally admitted defeat and said: "Brothers, spare your life, brother admit his mistakes." ”

"Haha, the dignified Prime Minister Yushi has admitted his mistake, then let's spare you!" the robes smiled and turned over one by one.
