Seeing Leng Zhuo stand up and walk up with ten fingers, Wei Zhilan was completely defeated, this bastard scoundrel, Wei Zhilan thought fiercely in her heart, but she still had to give in, otherwise she would be waiting to be tossed to death tonight!

"Sit down, or I won't talk about it!" Wei Zhilan felt a little powerless about her threat, but fortunately, Leng Zhuo was still quite anxious about this matter: "Say it, I'll listen!"

"Grandpa said, that group of people are not easy to promote too high all of a sudden, although there are merits this time, but everything must be subject to the military report, so you can only share some merits, as for the soldiers and horses you said, this matter is a little difficult to do!"

"That's not it!" It seems that when he turns around, he has to dismantle all the elite soldiers and horses, anyway, his soldiers and horses have no banner, and the big deal is that they are all changed to guards, and then go south in batches and bring them back to Chuzhou, in short, they can't be broken up like this, is it easy for him to accumulate some elite soldiers and horses!

"Listen to me no, although it is difficult to do, but it also depends on who is not, if you want a good position, after all, the major local legions, and even the forbidden army are already intertwined, there is no background, it is difficult to go up, not to mention leading the soldiers and horses to occupy the position all of a sudden. ”

"And all over the place, now the rebel army is one after another, the anti-king one after another, making a commotion in all directions, and the local garrison soldiers and horses are unbearable, at present, the elite of the three northern states, together with the main force of the forbidden army, are contained by Beihu, it can be said that the imperial forces are stretched in order to cope with these, the three dukes and the cabinet plan to form a counterinsurgency army, surrounded by several large legions from all sides, the aristocratic private army and the local gate lord guard, and the garrison army in various places is mainly to encircle and suppress local rebellions!"

"Oh!"

"Although the counterinsurgency army is temporarily formed, you should know that those princes are just scabies, although they are making trouble everywhere, but it is not easy to make some famous people, and it is still the Tang Army that is really dealing with it, and the Zhongzhou side is strong, I am afraid that it will be a hard battle. ”

Leng Zhuo nodded, the empire actually has not a lot of soldiers and horses, there are twenty-five elite legions in Kyushu, each with a full strength of 100,000, counting the logistics and baggage, etc., there are almost 1120,000, which is nearly 3 million troops.

In addition, it is the nine legions of the forbidden army, the four major city guards guarding the Gyeonggi area, and the guards directly under the royal family, the elite Warcraft Cavalry Regiment, which adds up to no less than two million, and the number of regular troops is five million.

Then there are local garrisons of soldiers and horses, thousands of large ports, more than 100 towns, and there are a lot of them, which are supported by the local government, and are responsible for maintaining public order, city defense, chasing and suppressing bandits, etc., but the empire has been peaceful for a hundred years, and the local garrison soldiers and horses are slack, and the empty salary is serious, where can they deal with the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses who are like wolves and tigers, and have been planning for hundreds of years, I am afraid that even the soldiers and horses pulled up by the prince who have lost power can't beat them.

Otherwise, the world would not be full of smoke all at once, and there would be war in all directions!

This counterinsurgency army is newly built, although there are all kinds of inferiority, the treatment can not be compared with the regular soldiers and horses, but the miscellaneous cards have the benefits of miscellaneous cards, at the beginning, Wei Guang gave Leng Zhuo three choices, the border army, the forbidden army and the local garrison army, the official rank of the local garrison is relatively high, and you can directly lead three or four thousand soldiers and horses in a city.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers and horses can be imagined, and they are all writing the work of suppressing bandits, eating and waiting for death, and it is difficult to be promoted, but now it is different from that time, there are anti-Wang rebels in the place, there are Datang, and the elite main force can't be transferred too much at the moment, so they can only rely on these miscellaneous cards to exert their residual heat.

No one will care too much about the establishment of these miscellaneous armies, even if they bring their soldiers and horses, no one cares, it is easy to arrange, and there is turmoil in various places, so it is naturally good to make contributions, and the road to promotion is not difficult.

The most important thing is that the Tang Dynasty is afraid that it will be difficult to exterminate in a short period of time, and as long as the empire is not peaceful for a day, this counterinsurgency army will not be abolished, but it is an easy place to be promoted.

"What about the arrangement?"

"Look at this for yourself!" Wei Zhilan said and stood up, took out a letter from the placket of her clothes, handed it to Leng Zhuo, and said.

Leng Zhuoen sighed, opened the letterhead, naturally it was some reprimands, Leng Zhuo also read it carefully, only then turned to the second page, which listed a large list of place names, most of Leng Zhuo had never even heard of it, but looking at the prefix, most of them were towns in Qingzhou, Zhongzhou, and even a few towns in Yongzhou.

As if seeing Leng Zhuo frowning, Wei Zhilan explained from the side: "Most of the places listed above are places where there are anti-kings or rebels who have uncovered the rods, and there are also other places, but these places are more serious! And most of them take advantage of the situation to entrench themselves in some places!"

"Soon the counterinsurgency order will be issued in various places, and the location of some middle and upper cities is difficult, after all, the gate lords in those places are very powerful, but some small towns are not strong enough, these places are carefully selected, some can have fallen, and some may be in the midst of military rebellion, so take the soldiers and horses to go, and you can become a city, a garrison general of a town. ”

"This time, the empire gives the local counterinsurgency army a lot of autonomy, they can act cheaply, and they are not subject to local control, of course, the empire will not give too much food and salary funding, everything has to rely on itself!"

The local garrison, although it is a small town, or even a lost town, but as long as there is a righteous name, it is a good stage, as for the location, it is not so important, turn around and let the subordinate Wu choose himself, Leng Zhuo is still concerned about a position in the Yuntian Fortress.

"Can the location of the Cloud Sky Fortress be decided?" Leng Zhuo put down the list and asked.

"Well, grandpa said that he would fight for it, but I think it should be about the same, the head of the Tang division will not object, and someone will protect it, but it will be cheaper for the Wang family!"

Leng Zhuo didn't know what this meant, the senior generals of Yuntian Fortress were a radish and a pit, when Wu Ce jumped off the wall and cut off contact with the fortress, his position was occupied by Wang Riyao, and Wu Ce's identity was not embarrassing at the moment.

Although Leng Zhuo also promoted him this time, Leng Zhuo, the brigade commander, was left to Zhao Yun and let Wu Ce be a deputy to help, and if he wanted a position, someone had to leave, and in the end, he could only cheapen Wang Riyao and let him be promoted to another level, so that he could also exchange for the support of the Wang family.

And with the approval of Wei Guogong, with the help of the Wang family, and Tang Chong also agreed, this matter is very likely!

Sticking a nail into the Yuntian Fortress, no matter what Leng Zhuo's purpose is, what he has to do is to cultivate power, or be reluctant to use the cornucopia of the swamp, or both, in short, this move is very important.

Only when the nail is nailed here, Jebe in the north, or in the night of the swampy reed pond, has a root, which can hook the roots of the empire.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing!"

Leng Zhuo swept away the thoughts in his mind, raised his head, looked at Wei Zhilan, and said, "What else is going on?"

"Maybe this time you will be made a marquis!" Wei Zhilan said that this mood was extremely complicated, she really didn't want to see this scoundrel so proud, but as her husband, she had the expectation that the other party could be made a marquis, after all, the wife is noble by her husband, and her husband is a marquis, and she also has light.

"Fenghou?" Leng Zhuo originally wanted to fight Yuntian Fortress, but he didn't have this intention, but later, the situation was really a little out of control, and his scene was a bit big, so in order to cover up some troubles, he had to give up most of his merits, and he completely became a supporting role, I thought that Fenghou was hopeless, but I didn't expect Wei Zhilan to mention this stubble.

"Well, grandpa said that he would promote this matter, after all, you are very "at a loss" this time, and you have to make up for it!" Wei Zhilan said leisurely, but she also knew that this matter was changed to someone else, and she didn't want to think about it, but who made him the grandson-in-law of the Wei family, not to mention that his grandfather had always felt indebted to the Leng family, and even she "compensated" the Leng family for the pearl in her hand, not to mention a marquis.

There is Wei Guogong personally copying the knife to promote, even if Leng Zhuo's matter of sealing the marquis is not ironclad, but it is also ten**, after all, the imperial throne is currently vacant, and the Three Kingdoms are in charge of the military power in the world, it can be said that at present, the power of the Three Kingdoms is still overwhelming the imperial power.

As for the four great families and the four wealthy families, they also have to look up, and among the three kingdoms, Wei Guogong is the head of the three princes, and the Luo family of the protector of the country has always been good friends with Wei Guogong, and this time it is indeed Leng Zhuo who is very "at a loss".

The major families, the wealthy families will naturally know some truths, Leng Zhuo is the first to win the Yuntian Fortress, and even split the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered, this is a sensible, knowing how to advance and retreat, people are so sensible, if there is no return, then it is really impossible to say.

What's more, there is a Wei Guogong standing behind it, you can make the family suffer, that's not a slap in the face of Wei Guogong.

So there were not too many twists and turns in the matter of Leng Zhuo's feudal marquis, and even the royal family did not make a different sound, three days after the military report of Yuntian Fortress arrived in the imperial capital, a knighthood edict from the Imperial House of Nobles was issued, accompanied by more than a dozen letters of appointment stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War.

Leng Zhuo greeted the officials of the House of Nobles in the small town outside Nanguan, and he had to offer some special products, and Leng Zhuo also received an appointment, of course, this time the knight was very low-key and did not make a big fanfare, after all, the twenty-year-old marquis was really a bit appalling.

"Ping'an Hou!" Leng Zhuo looked at the letter of appointment and whispered, girl, how can you think that this name is a bit unreliable!

What kind of mighty marquis, Yasukuni marquis and the like Leng Zhuo is not extravagant, but even if it is Wei Nanhou, Zhennan Hou, Pingnan Hou and the like, Ping'an Hou, this seems to have some other meanings!

Although it was not happy, but some other things were handled according to the ideas of Leng Zhuo and others, Zhao Yun became the commander of the second brigade of Yuntian Fortress, Wang Riyao was promoted, and went to a local elite regiment as a deputy division commander, Wu Ce became Zhao Yun's deputy, and then, in addition to the accompanying generals who went south, a cadre of generals each went to each other with a letter of appointment.

parting, there was no grand separation ceremony, everything was quiet, after all, Leng Zhuo didn't want to brand the Leng family on the generals and be concerned.

In addition to Zhao Yun and Zhebei, the remaining twelve generals were appointed as garrisons in the local towns of Qingzhou, Zhongzhou and Yongzhou, accompanied by some generals who were willing to follow them, but there were exceptions, and the 1,000 wolf cavalry battalion to which Zhang Liao belonged was incorporated into the newly formed Third Forbidden Legion.

Zhang Liang and Jia Xu also rode in two carriages and walked quietly, heading towards the west, and those border generals and cadres who served Leng Zhuo also had their own places to go, but there were still a few people who were willing to follow Leng Zhuo south.

In a few days, they parted ways and went their separate ways, and Leng Zhuo also cleaned up and took a group of people towards the imperial capital.
