Chapter 123: The Strongest Support Group in History

The decent layout, the decent tactics, the decent process, and the decent ending, but these modest things have brought Guo Rong a breakthrough in texture and a new understanding.

After three years of defending the city, a month's breakout battle, half a year of guerrilla warfare, and a large-scale offensive and defensive battle under independent command, under Li Chen's deliberate arrangement, coupled with the cooperation of Sun Rongyi, who was burned by desire, Guo Rong's last shortcoming was completely filled.

In fact, if the Tang army, which had an establishment of more than 20,000 people, had not encountered such existence as the Tibetans or the Uighurs, it would have almost been a force that could slaughter cities and destroy the country.

Inadvertently, this devastating battle planted a concern in Guo Rong's heart, under normal circumstances, the Tang army was invincible, and how to ensure the completeness rate of his soldiers occupied a very important position in Guo Rong's mind.

During the review and meeting, Guo Rong felt his progress, but he didn't notice that Li Chen's goal was also achieved.

Unconsciously, Guo Rong has gradually stepped into the step of moving from a general to a commander-in-chief, and slowly marching towards the commander-in-chief, and this battle is the starting point of the road to the commander of the country.

In the two wars, under the deliberate indulgence of Li Yu, nearly 10,000 rebels were scattered throughout the Guanzhong and began to gradually infiltrate outward.

If others were more or less skeptical about the information conveyed by the messengers of the imperial court, then the information brought by these routs was irrefutable.

Turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands into rain, the 100,000 Shence army was wiped out, and no one dared to openly question the authority of the Tang Dynasty anymore, even the feudal towns that had already been described as separatist in the southeast and Hebei were also greatly impacted.

With the spread of Li Yutian's defense of the country and the death of the king, many people feel that the entire Tang Dynasty may be changing.

However, these are not too directly related to Guo Rong, because after the battle of the Right Army of Shence, the distressed Guo Rong's hair was about to be bald.

The two major events of army building and marriage almost overwhelmed Guo Rong!

Emperor Li Yu has high expectations for this new army that is about to be established, and he spares no effort to provide support for the establishment of the new army, and for the establishment of this new army, it is very surprising to give 12,000 soldiers, including 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 sword soldiers.

And because of Guo Rong's outrageous military position, coupled with the fact that he didn't want to directly expose Guo Rong's identity from Anxi, he also insisted that everything should be carried out in accordance with Tang law and military law......

Li Yu took a bunch of important ministers of the court, and he could only put Guo Rong's military position under the fourth grade.

So...... The new army, which has no name, has no generals, no generals, and no generals, and the new army, which should nominally have 12,000 elites, has the highest military rank and is a pro-Xun Yiwei Yulin Zhonglang under the fourth rank.

The level of support is not high, and the level of support is not small, but Guo Rong's distress is not only that support can be solved, but the biggest problem is the lack of people!

Except for Li Rui, Yang Xin, Shao Shumin, Sun Jian, and the Meng Gan lent to Guo Rong by the Emperor Taishang, Guo Rong did not even have a civilian official at hand, so relying on such a team without any experience in army building, it was undoubtedly a huge challenge for Guo Rong to build a huge new army from scratch.

The lack of people is not only reflected in the lack of a core team, that is, a major general, but also a lack of soldiers!

The core team of the defenders left by Li Yu to Guo Rong was outside the Women's Army, and all the rest included about 800 people from the border army, Long Wuwei, and Jin Wuwei, who were likely to recover after recovering from their injuries.

In addition to the 600 Modao soldiers commanded by Li Rui, who were mainly descendants of the Anxi Army, the 1st Shence Legion commanded by Shao Shumin to launch a decisive raid was less than 300 people, and the remnants of the 200 Young Lang cavalry presented by Li Xuan were about 160 people.

These people together are definitely not more than 2,000 people!

Li Yu said that he would select a group of young talents from the Li Tang clan to supplement his new army, and the number would not be less than 1,000.

For this part of the people, Guo Rong is very complicated, if this group of clan disciples honestly serve as soldiers, it is fine, if they die, he doesn't mind killing a few to help the emperor and his old people!

Let's not talk about whether this part of the people can be used, whether it is good or not, even if these thousand people can be gathered, there is still a shortage of 9,000 soldiers from the goal given by Li Yu.

That's 9,000 soldiers, not 9,000 pigs, and the need to recruit 9,000 soldiers in twenty days made Guo Rong lose half of his hair when he couldn't select soldiers from the Shence Army, which was transforming a total of up to 60,000 people.

As for the remaining half of the hair, it comes from the so-called big wedding!

The last thing Li Yu had specially arranged before the effects of the Tiger Wolf Medicine was exhausted was Yan Qing's problem, and an eldest princess with a different surname who was not a relative was even more unheard of.

The degree of attention paid by the Emperor Taishang can be seen!

Moreover, the eldest princess of Dunhuang, who has not yet been canonized, is the caretaker appointed by Emperor Taishang during the restoration period!

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor Taishang had already accepted Yan Qing as a "righteous daughter", and was already about to be canonized as the eldest princess, and married Guo Rong, who was also extremely trusted by the Emperor, many people would have doubted whether the Emperor Taishang wanted to accept a concubine.

Rao is so, the Emperor Taishang's love and trust for this righteous daughter has been overwhelming, and now the Emperor's reputation is in full swing, and his control of the government is as stable as Mount Tai.

Up to the "prince" emperor Li Chun, down to the door, the Chinese book, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, Jing Zhaoyin, Taifu Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Honglu Temple, Taifu Temple, will be the supervisor and all the Dunhuang princess canonized, married related institutions to full force.

With the full cooperation of various departments, in just three days, the eldest princess of Dunhuang was completed from canonization to ceremony, from reward to announcement to the world, and its high efficiency even surprised the emperor himself on the sickbed.

What's even more exaggerated is that Jing Zhaoyin has reserved the land for the eldest princess of Dunhuang to build a mansion in Chang'an, the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor have jointly come up with the required drawings, the household department and the Taifu Temple have prepared the money and food for the construction of the house, and the personnel of the Shaofu Temple and the Taifu Temple are also on the way.

Even the military department and the ministry of officials, which had nothing to do with the canonization and marriage of the eldest princess of Dunhuang, were not idle, and turned over all the cases that had been accumulated for more than 20 years and had not been moved, and began to sort out the merits for Yan Kaifu in order to prepare for the posthumous seal.

Liu Yuxi, who was stranded in Chang'an for some reason, and Liu Zongyuan, who was praised by Li Yu for having "willow bones", even considered joining forces to write a narrative poem for the Yan Dynasty, the former soldier and horse envoy of Shazhou, and specially visited the eldest princess of Dunhuang to collect first-hand information.

Because of Emperor Li Yu, Yan Qing has an incomparably powerful wedding support group.

The work that needs to be done to marry a princess is not inferior to Jianjun in a strict sense, but if Jianjun recruits can be regarded as a helper himself, then in terms of big weddings, Guo Rong is really just a bare-bones commander.
