Chapter 80: State and County Soldiers
On the fifth day of the second month, He Batsheng was awarded the Daxingtai of the Southeast Road, the history of Yanzhou Assassination, and the leader Qu went south to Yanzhou to take up his post.
Yanzhou and the Jeju land guarded by Hou Jing are dependent on each other in the north and south, and now Hou Jing led the people to the west, and Gao Huan placed He Batsheng in Yanzhou, obviously with the intention of letting He Batsheng temporarily replace Hou Jing to deter the southeast.
He Batsheng saw this layer, but only this layer.
He even thought that being awarded the post of Southeast Road Daxingtai fully reflected Gao Huan's trust in him.
I didn't know that this was just an excuse for the Gao family and his son to depose all parties in the future.
And Hou Jing also led 10,000 people to the slipway, and now Hou Jing is not a general who will rule Henan for more than ten years in the future and have 100,000 troops.
Even the team of 10,000 people was expanded during Gao Huan's break with the Erzhu clan.
At the same time, Gao Aocao, Yaoxiong's leaders and their families successively crossed the river bridge and arrived at the Luoyang camp.
Gao Cheng handed over the task of relocating the soldiers' families to Yang Su and Cui Jishu, and he went to the camp to inspect the new army's drills.
After the scribes went to the prefectures and counties of Henan to select soldiers, the 30,000 Gyeonggi garrisons under Gao Cheng were finally full.
Among them were Gao Aocao 5,000 Han soldiers, Duan Shao's 3,006 town soldiers, Yaoxiong's 3,000 Hebei soldiers, and 19,000 Henan Prefecture soldiers.
There is no need to be suspicious about the combat effectiveness of Gao Aocao, Duan Shao, and Yaoxiong, and what really reassures Gao Cheng is the Henan soldiers with the largest number.
What is the concept of this group of state and county soldiers, Gao Cheng knows too well.
In history, Yuan Xiu collected 100,000 Henan soldiers to resist Gao Huan in Luoyang, and Gao Huan's army crossed the river bridge.
In the final analysis, after Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, the already overwhelmed state and county soldiers were completely defeated, whether it was Er Zhurong or Gao Huan, they relied on the Qihu and Xianbei soldiers of Shanxi and Hebei.
For the soldiers of Henan Prefecture, they have always taken a disregard attitude, and Henan's military equipment has become more and more relaxed.
Gao Cheng was very self-aware and knew that he had no talent for military training, so he assigned these people, Murong Shaozong got 5,000 troops, Hu Luguang got 3,000 troops, Duan Shao and Yaoxiong each added 2,000, and expanded the troops to 5,000 people, which was equivalent to Gao Aocao's troops.
I came to the camp today to observe the drills of the generals so that I could find a good instructor for the 7,000 new troops directly under my command.
After passing through the camps of Duan Shao and Yaoxiong in succession, these two were worried that the big war was coming, and mixing the Henan soldiers with the original troops would affect their combat effectiveness, so they simply separated them.
2,000 Henan soldiers were auxiliaries, and 3,000 old troops were soldiers.
Of course, Gao Cheng understands this approach, but he hopes that the 30,000 people under his command can handle it.
With the idea of post-war persuasion, Gao Cheng came to Hu Luguang's camp, wanting to really take a look at the combat power of the state and county soldiers, no matter how to say it, he also selected 19,000 people from 100,000 people, so he wouldn't be too stretched.
"The Son..."
Before Hu Luguang could speak, he was corrected by Gao Cheng:
"When I am in the army, I am the governor of the capital."
In fact, King Xiao Gao does not prefer military positions, mainly because of the big character of the metropolitan governor, which is very flattering to him.
Anyway, it's not like being the governor of Sun Wu, so I'm not afraid of touching the mold.
Hu Luguang hurriedly changed his words and saluted Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng chatted with Hu Luguang for a few more words, and couldn't help but let the army start practicing.
As a result, the more Gao Cheng looked at his brows, the more tightly locked, and the fixed target position was shot every 100 people, and the target was less than 30%.
Hu Luguang had a long face, swollen red from shame and anger, today was the first day of the exercise, how could he not have imagined that this group of state and county soldiers would be so unbearable.
He was a man who cherished his soldiers, and even though he felt embarrassed and angry, he did not beat the soldiers while scolding, but led his guards through the crowd to correct their posture of archery.
Seeing this scene, Gao Cheng thought about it.
He ordered someone to call Hu Luguang back, and he did not cover up his ugliness:
"Mingyue has been with me for many years, you should know that I am rarely involved in the military, training together, not my strength, now the state and county soldiers are unbearable, and I have 7,000 new troops under my command, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.
"In this expedition to Sanjing, I want to leave Mingyue in Luoyang, join you and me, and train these 10,000 soldiers."
After that, he whispered earnestly:
"Among the generals, I can only trust Mingyue."
Facing Hu Luguang's skeptical gaze, Gao Cheng said calmly:
"Mingyue doesn't believe it?"
"Naturally, I believe."
has been with Gao Cheng for three years, and I don't know what kind of character he is, if he changes the Hu Luguang three years ago, he may have to be grateful to Gao Cheng for showing his loyalty.
As for now? Scold! Don't you trust Duan Shao?
Xiao Gaowang's mouth has always been smeared with honey when he asks for help.
Although Hu Luguang's answer was perfunctory, he still had some use in his heart.
Previously assigned the troops, he could understand that because of his low qualifications, he could only lead 3,000 people, although Murong Shaozong was a general, but his position in the Erzhu clan was there.
It's one thing to be able to understand, but Hu Luguang always feels that he has been despised and is inevitably depressed.
Therefore, when they met today, they honored the son of the world, instead of calling out the words as cordially as before.
Now that Gao Cheng has handed over all the 7,000 people directly under him to him, this trust is not insignificant.
Therefore, even if he was unwilling to miss the expedition to Sanjing, Hu Luguang still expressed his determination:
"Zihui rest assured, when you return to the teacher, I will train 10,000 elites for you."
Gao Cheng shook his head and smiled:
"If you can get 10,000 warriors, Cheng will be satisfied."
At the same time, Duan Shao was in the camp.
Liu Yanshou, a Hun from Woye Town, was also talking in a low voice with Xue Hu'er, a Xianbei Han man, and the whole army generally looked down on the 2,000 Han and Hu soldiers who were newly assigned to the battalion.
Liu Yanshou, as a descendant of the Six Towns, was handed over by Er Zhuzhao to Gao Huan and was assigned to the scout team of Xue Hu'er.
They followed Gao Huan through several battles, and after Gao Huan defeated the Erzhu clan, he was promoted because of his merits, Xue Hu'er was promoted from the chief to the lord of the building, and there were hundreds of soldiers under his command, and Liu Yanshou was also promoted to the chief because of his merits.
coincided with Duan Shao's appointment in the army and was appointed as the governor by Gao Huan, so he transferred 3,000 soldiers from the six towns, including Xue Hu'er, to Duan Shao, and Duan Shao went south to Luoyang, and these people also entered the Gyeonggi garrison.
These 3,000 people have always been above the top, and in the Gyeonggi Army, only Gao Aocao's 5,000 Han troops can be recognized by them, after all, everyone is the army of Xindu Jianyi, and they are one of the 30,000 cavalry in the Battle of Hanling.
Of the rest, only the 3,000 Hebei soldiers under Yaoxiong could barely be accepted by the martial artists of the six towns.
As for the county soldiers in Henan Prefecture, which has the largest number of people, just like Duan Shao and Yaoxiong, they are purely regarded as auxiliary soldiers doing some dirty work, and they cannot be counted on the technical work of battlefield fighting.
On the seventh day of the second month, Hou Jing crossed the slipway, stationed in the tiger prison, and sent a messenger to Gao Cheng to ask for the time of sending troops, which was finally set on the ninth day of the second month.
