"Lord Yang is right, the combat strength of the Third Army has also improved very quickly, and the two adults Zhang and Li are also very strict in training, but the consumption of those Yingbo refugees is very large, and the demand for food exceeds the original estimate by more than 20%. He Decai nodded in agreement with Yang Kan's point of view, "In comparison, the situation of the Second Army is probably slower, Lord Xu is slower to accept the training method proposed by Lord Assassin Shi, and there are also some deficiencies in the officers and veterans, but fortunately, now Lord Xu has realized it and is stepping up to catch up."www.biquge.info ”

Xu Ziqing didn't quite agree with Jiang Feng's training suggestions.

In his opinion, Jiang Feng's views were a bit whimsical, and the training method of an army could not be changed at will, so he did not accept it at first, and Jiang Feng did not force it.

It was not until the First Army and the Third Army were fully launched and achieved remarkable results that Xu Ziqing specially organized officers to go to the First Army and the Third Army to observe and study respectively, and only after realizing that the training results of the First Army and the Third Army were true, did the Second Army begin to truly adopt the new method of training.

Fortunately, although the foundation of the Second Army is not as good as that of the First Army, it is much stronger than the Third Army, and although it has been delayed for some time, it is still not comparable to the Third Army, but it has also been caught up by the Third Army a lot.

The tooth army in charge of Ding Man was the first to adopt the new law proposed by Jiang Feng.

There are no conditions to talk about in the tooth army, after all, the number of the tooth army is not as good as the three armies, and the established goal is the elite, so although Ding Man and Huang Anjin are also a little resistant, they still resolutely obey Jiang Feng's order, and this also saves the tooth army a few months.

Of course, the difference in the effect of this kind of training can only be felt by the person concerned, and it is not a year and a half of this kind of training that can make an army reach the level of rebirth.

Jiang Feng never thought that this kind of cold-weapon warfare could be tempered into an army by training alone, and he believed in the view that an army that had never been stained with blood was not worthy of being called an army, and an army that had not experienced hard fighting could not be called a qualified army.

Yang Kan was reluctant to evaluate the Second Army, not because of any dislikes, but because of his sensitive identity.

Xu Ziqing's personality is relatively introverted and deep, after all, after encountering the rebellion of the Xu clan, the Xu clan is a little sensitive, Xu Ziqing sat in the second army, but in fact, he was the acting commander of the march, which was a bit unexpected at that time.

In Yang Kan's opinion, maybe Xu Ziqing's martial arts level is not enough, but Xu Ziqing has only worked in the Gwangju Ya Army before, and he has not been in retreat for a long time, so he doubts whether he can take on the responsibility of the growth of the first army.

He also mentioned this matter to Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng did not explain too much, only said that he made this decision after considering many factors.

There are also some rumors within the Huzhou Army that Jiang Feng did not intend to balance the influence of the so-called Liang officers, so he pushed Xu Ziqing to this position.

It should be said that these doubts are not unreasonable, but Yang Kan feels that Jiang Feng is probably not as simple as balancing the officers of the Liang system, otherwise he can be the commander of the First Army, and then let old men like Zhang Yue or Huang Anjin serve as the military capital, firmly grasp the strongest first army in the Huzhou army, and let himself go to the second army.

Yang Kan estimated that Jiang Feng should consider this issue more from the political level, the Xu family suffered this catastrophe, and made great contributions in the battle against the Caizhou army, and Jiang Feng himself was also from the Xu family, if he didn't give the Xu family an explanation to make him stable, it was indeed unreasonable.

And letting Xu Ziqing take charge of the second army is to give the Xu family a reassurance.

This is more reassuring to the Xu family than accepting Xu Ning and Xu Jing's two daughters as wives and concubines, after all, no matter how beautiful a woman is in these years, it is difficult to compare with military power, and putting Xu Ziqing in the position of the second army is a signal in itself, showing Jiang Feng's trust in the Xu family.

At this point, Yang Kan still agrees with Jiang Feng's approach, after all, it makes sense to strengthen the influence of Gwangju through the Xu clan.

Although it is difficult for Huju to completely control Gwangju now, if it can exert influence on Gwangju as much as possible, and then make a deal with Chang'an to reach a compromise, it will be able to stifle Caizhou and Namyang's coveting of Gwangju and continue to control Gwangju to a certain extent.

And as long as Gwangju is not acquired by Namyang and Caiju, the eastern side of Huju can be safed to a certain extent, and this is a victory for Huju.

Now that Jiang Feng has gone to Chang'an, it is estimated that this time he should be able to reach a compromise with Chang'an and take charge of Gwangju together, so that Huzhou can accumulate strength in Huzhou with peace of mind, and even consider planning Shouzhou, which is far better than entangled with Nanyang and Caizhou on the territory of Gwangju.

"Lord He, although the strength of our Huzhou Army is growing rapidly, but for our Huzhou, the strength of the three armies is still a little too weak, especially you should understand the intention of Lord Assassin Shi, Huzhou can't support our existing army, we must seek more land to ensure that we can support more troops, in order to ensure that we are not swallowed up by the evil neighbors around us, I am afraid that the production and reserve of ordnance and military materials on the side of the material officer will be accelerated, as far as the little material stored by our first army is concerned, it will not be able to fight a war." 。 ”

Hearing Yang Kan say this, He Decai was also taken aback.

Of course, he understood that although Yang Kan was only the commander of the First Army, he was actually the first assistant in Jiang Feng's army, and even Zhang Yue, who was closer to Jiang Feng, had to let Yang Kan take the lead, so the words that came out of Yang Kan's mouth were different from others.

The meaning of Yang Kan's words undoubtedly means that the Huzhou army may have to go to war with the outside world in the near future, but the question is whether the Huzhou army has this spare strength now?

"Lord Yang, what do you mean......" He Decai asked tentatively.

"Lord He, I have no other intentions, but you should also realize that the current situation in our Huzhou is not stable, and we still have to give up control of Gwangju to Chang'an, so that Gwangzhou can become our barrier and avoid being taken advantage of by Nanyang and Caizhou, but it is obviously not enough to just be in Huzhou, we must have greater strategic depth, otherwise when a strong enemy invades, we will not even have room for maneuver. ”

Yang Kan's words made He Decai frown, "Lord Yang is talking about Caizhou?"

"It's all possible, although it seems that only Caizhou is the most likely now, but there are still many other possibilities, and if Shouzhou is obtained by outsiders, then we will lose our strategic depth, and it will be difficult to seek a breakthrough in the future. ”

Although He Decai has slowly gotten out of military affairs, he is still engaged in the work of serving military affairs, so he is no stranger to the army, and he nodded: "It is not easy for Lord Assassin Shi to lay such a world in such a short period of time, but as Lord Yang said, if we seize the time to break through, maybe there will be no chance in the future, but this Shouzhou, if it is only Huoqiu and Anfeng counties, it will be fine, but how can this Shouchun City be won?" If we can't take Shouchun City, only take Huoqiu and Anfeng, Anfeng will always be under Shouchun's troops, we can't garrison in Anfeng for a long time, once Shouchun gets the support of Huaibei or Huainan reinforcements, I'm afraid we will fall into a dilemma. ”

I don't know much about He Decai Yang Kan, but hearing that the other party can say such a thing makes Yang Kan a little impressed, at least he can see the relationship between An Feng and Shouchun, and it also shows that this Lord He is also unfamiliar with military affairs.

I was about to discuss with the other party, but I saw a soldier running into the school yard and coming straight to the high platform, which was his personal guard.

"Commander, Huzhou is here. The guard handed over a small bamboo pipe with both hands.

Yang Kan nodded, raised his hand to take it, and checked the beeswax offset print at the seal.

This is a magic beeswax offset printing, once it is opened, it is difficult to recover, and it can be seen at a glance, so it is used to transmit secret letters.

Now Wuwentang is also specializing in the cultivation of wild pigeons and peregrine falcons, which are specially used for the transmission of letters between the city of Huzhou and Yincheng, Shengtang and Huoshan counties, but the cultivation of wild pigeons and peregrine falcons is not an overnight effort, but there is a tradition of domesticating carrier pigeons under the time state of Gwangju Shishifu, so Jiang Feng also moved it to Gushi, and has now domesticated into more than a dozen usable carrier pigeons, which began to be used for daily transmission of letters.

After opening the bamboo pipe, the letter was also made up of special hidden words, which was difficult for outsiders to understand, but in Yang Kan's eyes, it was clear at a glance.

There were not too many words in the letter, only asking Yang Kan to explain the military affairs here to his deputy, and immediately return to Huzhou to discuss urgent military affairs.

Yang Kan was also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that now that Jiang Feng is going to Chang'an, it is impossible for him to come back in such a short time, what can he do now?

"Lord He, when you came to the Tang Dynasty, did Lord Assassin Shi come back?" Yang Kan asked with a deep groan.

He Decai shook his head, "No, how could Lord Thorn Shi come back so soon?"

"Are there other outsiders visiting, or are there any other anomalies?" Yang Kan asked again.

"I didn't see anything abnormal, but it seems that there are indeed foreign visitors visiting, it seems that Master Cui is receiving them, but I only know that there are foreign guests, and I don't know where the specific foreign guests are from. "He Decai is very cautious about his duty, and he never asks about things that he shouldn't ask.

He knew that when he escorted this batch of military funds to the Tang Dynasty, there was already martial law on the side of the Assassin's Mansion, but why it was under martial law, but it was unknown.

It's just that he went down to report to Cui Shang when he was escorted to the Tang Dynasty, and Cui Shang also left him in a few words, and he also roughly knew that there was a group of foreign visitors visiting, and he never came out after entering the Assassin's Mansion, which was very mysterious.
