Seeing Jiang Feng's face uncertain, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes evil and crazy, sometimes cold and solemn, Wang Miao was a little worried, don't really be forced by the livelihood of tens of thousands of troops to make the lord insane, then it is really a big sin.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Huh?!" Jiang Feng woke up from his fantasy in surprise.

"Well, if these sixteen armies can't be built all at once, at least ten armies need to be built first, and the other six armies will first retain their establishment and officers, and then form these six arm,......ies next year when the financial resources are abundant."

Wang Miao gritted his teeth, this is almost fatal, as soon as the soldiers are disbanded, only the officers are retained, and the idle officers also have to live, staying in this Xuzhou city and doing nothing, even if it is a new recruit to rebuild in the future, it is not a simple and easy thing to restore the combat effectiveness.

"No, the sixteen armies must be completely rebuilt, the task of Yanyun Huaibei is very heavy, there is no delay, time waits for no one, and we can't afford to wait. Jiang Feng shook his head.

As a top student in the Department of History, he knew very well that the Khitan power in this period was expanding rapidly, and he also realized that due to the corruption and cowardice of the three towns of Heshuo, the momentum of the Khitan power in the south was more fierce than that of Shi Jingjiao's Later Jin Dynasty in the previous history, which means that the story of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in the previous life may not be as simple as repeating itself, and may even be even worse.

You must know that the Great Jin Dynasty is still strong, Shuo and Huan Erzhou are firmly under the control of the Great Jin, and the land of Ulzhou and Fuzhou is under the control of the Tuyuhun people, and the current Tuyuhun strength is not weak, so the key target of the Khitan people is still on the three towns and states of Heshuo.

It can be said that once the Khitan makes up its mind to go south, it will definitely focus on the Heshuo line without distraction, and it is only afraid that Tan, Ji, You, Yi, Mo, Ying, Cang, Ding, Heng, Zhao, Ji, and De Zhuzhou will not escape the enemy.

Even if Wei Bo's army did not have the support of the Great Liang, it would not be able to resist the Khitan army, and the Khitan army could easily hit the south bank of the river directly.

The question is, under the attack of the Shatuo people, does Daliang still have the strength to manage Wei Bo's army?

Historically, the Khitans and Shatuo were enemies, but now that history has turned, when they all realize why they want to fight to the death, it is better to join forces and go south together, and each takes what he needs, will they still fight each other?

Why can't you go south and carve up the land of the Han people, and then fight it out?

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng shuddered, if the Shatuo and Khitan people turned around and began to join forces to go south, this war would really be quite dangerous.

Now because the Great Liang is weaker than in history, Heshuo is more chaotic than in history, the Shatuo people have gone south much later than in history, and the Khitans are stronger, will it just swallow a few states and stop as in history?

In history, in 936 A.D., Shi Jingjiao enshrined the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitans, and officially took over in 938, and the Khitans were also satisfied, but will it be the case now?

I'm afraid the appetite of the Khitan people will be greater than imagined, calculate the five years of Jingtai this year and the history of docking, it seems to be 935, maybe the Khitan people will go south next year?

Even if the butterfly wings bring about changes, maybe a year earlier, maybe two years later, but it is only in these years, and Jiang Fengjue's advance is more likely, because the variable of Shatuo people has been mixed in.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sweat coldly, if this is the case, next year the Khitans will go south, and even the Shatuo people will also go south, the Central Plains, and Heshuo, can they withstand the impact of Hu Qi?

Therefore, he must prepare in advance, Hu cavalry goes south, south of the river, it is an absolute advantage, especially on the Hebei Great Plain, the iron cavalry is like the wind, and the infantry fights alone, if there is no other special means of response, it is to find abuse.

Either cavalry against cavalry, or it will have to develop a heavy infantry mixed vehicle and supplemented by long-range strike force to deal with, sacrificing mobility and strengthening the defensive force, but this is also a passive method, and in the end to defeat Hu Cai, it still depends on cavalry, so the cavalry force must not be less.

The problem is that there are too few cavalry in their hands now, no, to be precise, the number of cavalry is not a lot, just the original Taining army can make up at least three armies of cavalry, plus Huaiyou's cavalry, as long as they are willing to build, it is not a problem to make up five or even six armies of cavalry.

The key is that the conditions for establishing a qualified cavalry are too high, just the war horses, the required number is very large, taking the cavalry of the original Taining Army and the Huaibei Army as an example, if you want to complete the construction of six cavalry armies, the minimum shortage of war horses is at least more than 8,000, which is still equipped according to the ratio of one to one to five, and in Hedong, it is according to the ratio of one to two to match the war horses.

There are also battle armor and horse armor, as well as more qualified weapons, these costs are astronomical, even if they develop the iron-smelting center in Xuzhou, they may not be able to support it, and they may not be able to do it in time.

Jiang Feng knew very well that once the Khitans went south, if they did not have 30,000 or 40,000 iron cavalry, that is, no cavalry of more than 15 corps to deal with, no matter how much advantage they had in the infantry army, they would inevitably fall into difficulties and bitter battles on the Hebei Plain.

Unless you give up the opponent's opposition front, and instead defend it with a strong city, or withdraw to the area with a dense water network south of Huaishui.

With the brutality and ferocity of the Khitans, this kind of warfare is afraid that the Hebei Great Plain will really become a place where white bones will be exposed, and there will be no roosters crow for thousands of miles, and then it will become a land for the Khitan people to graze horses.

The only way is to use cavalry against cavalry, and then use infantry to defeat cavalry, only if the cavalry and infantry are in harmony, can it have a miraculous effect.

The cavalry strength of the Taining Army is not weak, even inferior to the cavalry of the Liang Army, the only thing that is a little worse is their war horses and equipment, even the combat effectiveness of the Huaibei cavalry is not much worse, as long as the war horses and equipment can keep up, they have the same fighting power.

War horses, armor, these are all money-burning work, if you want to make up for this, then you can only make an idea on the Sogdian merchants, and to let the Sogdian merchants take the bait, probably only in Xuzhou Iron Smelting Supervisor.

With these thoughts in his heart, Jiang Feng's inspection in Yanzhou was a little less interested, but he still went to the least procedures, and he went to every army in Taining one by one, and also met and discussed with the battalion commanders and officers above the various armies, which was also something that the Taining Army had never experienced before.

However, the commanders of the Taining armies secretly sighed that this lord was not simple.

This kind of direct meeting and conversation with officers at the level of battalion commander is almost to make the battalion commander and envoy understand whose food they are eating and who they are working for, and may even establish a direct channel to the sky.

Back in Xuzhou, Jiang Feng issued an order as the envoy of Wuning Jiedu to form the Wuning Left Army and the Wuning Right Army, and each of the two armies formed eight new armies, of which the cavalry army accounted for six of the sixteen armies of the left and right armies, and the infantry army accounted for five corps.

This sudden decision surprised the high-level leaders of Huaiyou (Wuning), including Chen Wei, Cui Shang, Wang Miao, Yang Kan and others, and also shook the senior generals of the former Taining Army and the Reform Army.

In their opinion, even if the former Taining Army and the Reform Army were to be reorganized, there was no need to be in such a hurry, and it was impossible to organize 16 new armies at once.

What is even more shocking is that six new cavalry armies will be built, which means that basically all the cavalry armies of the original Taining Army and the Reform Army will be retained.

You must know that although the cavalry of the original Taining Army and the Reform Army is not lacking in establishment and strength, there is a huge gap in the aspects of war horses and armor, and now that the Pengcheng County Gong has issued an order, it is naturally impossible to make do as it was originally, that is, to build a neatly organized six cavalry armies.

If you add the two cavalry armies of the Huaiyou Army, it means that the Pengcheng County Duke will build eight cavalry armies and 20,000 cavalry, which is absolutely second to none in the Jianghuai area.

A group of ministers and bureaucrats made suggestions, but they were all categorically denied by Jiang Feng, and Chen Wei and Du Tuo even debated with Jiang Feng a few times for this, but they could not change Jiang Feng's decision.

For the generals, the expansion and strengthening of the army is naturally a good thing, of course, in the Huaiyou Army and the generals of the former Taining Army and the Probation Army who will be included in the Wuning Army, the feeling is a little different.

The generals of the Huaiyou Army looked at a new army that should belong to the same door with mixed feelings, but the Wuning Army suddenly wanted to build six new cavalry armies, which still made the Huaiyou Army a little uncomfortable, thinking that the county prince was too highly regarded and preferential to the Wuning Army, but ignored the Huaiyou Army's great achievements in laying down Xuzhou for the county prince.

Although this kind of language is only a private complaint between a few people, it also represents a kind of wind direction.

Jiang Feng naturally knew this, and he could also understand the thoughts of the generals of the Huaiyou Army, but he would not change his decision, because these people could not look at the problem from a higher height like himself.

Of course, he will also make some targeted adjustments, and the kind of army formation mechanism that is completely based on geographical boundaries will definitely not be brought in, even if it will cost him to do so, and his combat effectiveness may be affected in the short term, he must adhere to it.

First of all, the various units of the Taining Army and the Reform Army will be mixed and reorganized, and this kind of mixed reorganization will include a mixed organization with battalions as a unit, as well as a mixed organization with a capital or even a team scale, and then it will also be mixed and supplemented in a targeted manner on the issue of supplementing new non-commissioned officers, so as to disrupt geographical restrictions.

For example, the four armies of the Huaiyou Army led by Qin Han, Zhang Ting, Luo Chenggan, and Li Tong into Yanzhou will be abolished and incorporated into the Wuning Army, and the four armies that are also being reorganized now will be incorporated into the original Huaiyou Army.
