Chapter 153: Ready, Long Silk Goes Ahead!
"100,000 guan, do you want to bring a prescription?"
"Don't!"
"Don't regret it, I'm looking at you pitiful, give you a friendship price, and tomorrow it's 100,000 yuan a pair of medicines, you can think about it."
"......, don't!"
Guo Rong can disdain Zhang Jiaxuan's behavior of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but Guo Rong is really helpless about the concubines of the Emperor Taishang who occupy Yan Qing.
After staying up for an hour, the uninvited Emperor Taishang finally left with his concubines, Guo Rong arrived at Yan Qing's side, and the next moment, Gu Lina, who had been hiding aside, also appeared beside Guo Rong.
Kissing Yan Qing lightly and kissing Gu Lina again, Guo Rong put his ears on the lower abdomen of the two of them in turn.
"Husband, what are you doing, it's only been a long time!"
Immediately followed by the laughter of the two of them like silver bells, at this time Guo Rong also reacted, grinned, and then gently took the two over.
"I'm really lucky to have the two of you by my side, don't worry, I will protect you well, I have one more reason to hold on now!"
After talking to the two beauties in front of him, Guo Rong turned his eyes to the west, and said silently in his heart, old man, hold on, I will call back.
Guo Rong's good mood lasted until the evening, and at a certain moment, Guo Rong rushed out of the bedroom without saying a word, and then rushed out of the eldest princess's mansion, aiming at Xingqing Palace, and I don't know if Zhang Jiaxuan's recipe is real......
Guo Rong didn't know if Zhang Jiaxuan's recipe was real, but when he ran to Xingqing Palace in the middle of the night to ask for help, Guo Rong saw Zhang Jiaxuan grinning at himself, holding a pair of decoctions that had been prepared long ago in one hand, and spreading out the other hand was obviously about to collect money.
It's hard to say how effective Zhang Jiaxuan's recipe is in terms of purifying the heart and having few desires, after all, because the Changying Army is about to go on the march, a lot of time is still put in the army, and the time he can accompany Yan Qing and Gu Lina is not too much.
But in terms of Pei Yuan's solid foundation, Guo Rong felt that he had not suffered a loss, whether it was his mental state or physical strength, he quickly recovered to the peak, after all, after more than two months of fierce fighting, even the iron body would be a little weak......
In the process of going back and forth between the Forbidden Garden and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the scouts who were sent out had begun to return one after another, and the actual situation in the states in the war zone with Tubo had been fed back.
On the 26th day of the first lunar month, the reconnaissance battalion sent to the direction of Jingzhou (Xiaoguan) also brought back the latest map drawn by the Xiaoguan (Jingzhou)-Pizhou-Fengtian-Chang'an line (Pizhou Road).
So far, in less than a month, under the hard work of the reconnaissance battalion of nearly 1,000 people of the Changying Army, the map of Chencang Road, Weishui Road, Huizhong Road, and Pizhou Road marching into Chang'an from the west has been completely in Guo Rong's hands.
At the same time, preparations are almost in place.
On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, the last preparatory meeting of all officers above the rank of captain of the Changying Army was held in the Changying Army Festival Hall before the expedition.
"According to the existing news from the Ministry of War, Bianzhou, Shannan Province, Jiannan Province, and the reconnaissance battalion, although it is not clear why the Tibetans sent troops in the middle of winter, it is a foregone conclusion."
"We don't need to worry about the situation in Jiannan and Shannan, but in the case that the original Shence army is still being reorganized, our Changying Army will become the main force of Gyeonggi Province in this defensive battle, and the main direction of our Changying Army this time is here!"
Luo Chinese, who was explaining the situation to all the military schools, pointed to the upper left corner of the central map of the festival: Xiao Guan!
"There are two ways to enter from Xiao Guan to the east that can threaten Chang'an: first, return to the middle road, Jingzhou (Xiao Guan) go south, Yuanzhou-Chencang enter the Guanzhong Plain, and second, Pizhou Road, Jingzhou (Xiao Guan) go east, Pizhou - Fengtian!"
"The road back to the middle is smoother, but on the way there are many cities and it is difficult to advance quickly, in fact, in the past, Tubo captured Chang'an, that is, to go to Xiaoguan, Pizhou, Fengtian line. Fugu Huai'en rebelled, and it was also through Xiaoguan and Pizhou that he fought to Fengtian! ”
"In addition, Your Majesty is ready to send the six thousand Feather Forest Army adapted from the Shence Army to Sanguan to strengthen the defense."
"Generals, lieutenant generals, long history, generals and colonels, this is the main situation that my Changying army is facing in this war!"
"You can express your opinions, strategic priorities, tactical thinking, route situation, how to fight, how to prepare, Luo joins the army, you continue to preside!"
With Li Yu's order, the generals who were eager to try raised their hands to speak, and after whispering a few words to Li Yu, Guo Rong came to Han Yu's side.
"Where did you dig this Luo Chinese from, Wen Wushuang doesn't say anything, and his insight and vision are absolutely extraordinary!"
"Bad luck!"
"Bad luck?"
Looking at Guo Rong's face full of doubts, Han Yu brought a strange smile.
"In the eighth year of Zhenyuan (792), I took the Jinshi examination and met him, it was the third time he participated, I entered the Shi and the first, he was in a very poor state because of the wind and cold, and he failed to reach the first."
“……”
"So far, he has participated in a total of six Jinshi exams, and he is obviously extraordinary, but he can always encounter all kinds of strange things such as wind and cold, theft of money, and loss of documents, and he has returned home all six times!"
“……”
"After the last failure, he was ready to stay in Chang'an to prepare, but the first emperor died, and he waited for another eight months in order to wait for the new emperor Enke, and the emperor abdicated......"
“……”
"He was like ashes, just about to leave Chang'an, and encountered Ju Wenzhen's mutiny, the mutiny had just been pacified, and he received a serious water from Jiangnan Province, and he had to stay in Chang'an."
“……”
"During his stay, he encountered a military parade and your wedding, and as a result, his residence was stolen when he was watching your wedding, and all his money, documents, and documents were stolen."
Unlucky to this extent, Guo Rong is also convinced, this is simply a decay possession.
"And then?"
Then he was forced to ask Jing Zhaoyin for help, Guan Zhi remembered that I was a classmate with him, I saw that he was penniless, so I recommended it directly to you, you heard that he was both civil and military, and then ...... I felt that he was better than me in terms of martial arts, so I simply lazy. ”
When Guo Rong and Han Yue discussed Luo Chinese's unfortunate experience, under the chairmanship of Luo Chinese, the discussion had come to an end, and their thinking was basically the same as the line drawn up by Li Yu and Guo Rong.
After looking at Li Yu, Guo Rong signaled Luo Chinese to stop, and then stood up himself.
"Your monarch's thoughts, I and the general are basically the same, then it is decided, although this expedition is a defensive battle, but no one is allowed to relax, this expedition will use the model of the soldiers who have been simulated and rehearsed with auxiliary troops, and the specific arrangements will be announced by Luo Shenjun."
"Each regiment is assigned to a 10-person cooking squad and a 50-person logistics team, and each battalion is assigned to an engineer regiment and a five-person medical class."
Hearing what Luo Chinese said about the establishment of the expedition, Guo Rong couldn't help but be proud, after all, this is a proud work that he copied from the rabbit, and the obvious benefits have been unanimously praised by everyone, but when he heard the next sentence, the compilation problem that made Guo Rong very painful appeared in his mind.
Since the era of the Fu soldiers, when the Tang Army went out to fight, the army was temporarily organized, so the wartime and non-wartime systems of the Tang Army were not exactly the same.
To put it simply, flat management in peacetime, for example, in the era of pure government soldiers, theoretically, the military department was in charge of more than 1,200 Zhichong mansions in the Tang Dynasty (theoretically!! When it is necessary to fight, it is necessary to draw and organize into an army to form a wartime system.
Therefore, when Guo Rong thought that the Changying Army, which was full of 30,000 people, would have a full 150 regiments, his mind was buzzing.
Then, Guo Rong added a thousand people between the army and the regiment in advance as an intermediate structure.
According to Guo Rong's plan, this intermediate formation can meet the needs of small-scale conflicts after being equipped with auxiliary troops, and the only thing that makes Guo Rong's egg hurt comes from the name of this organization - "battalion"!
The "battalion" came from Han Yu's suggestion, and as the initiator of the Guwen movement, it was not surprising that he proposed the establishment of a Han army.
For the Tang people, who often referred to themselves as the Han family, there was no resistance to the title of "battalion", and Han Yu's retro idea was unanimously approved by the Emperor Taishang and the Ministry of War.
The battalions have been increased and the gangs have been removed, and the system of the Changying Army is now relatively perfect.
Ten people are even or squads (soldiers are squads, auxiliaries are squads, such as cooking squads) veterans are troops/squad leaders,
Five tithes for the team, the commander for the team,
The second team is the brigade, and the commander is the brigade commander.
The second brigade is a regiment, and the commander is a captain,
The second, third or fifth regiment is the battalion, and the commander is the battalion commander,
After the integration, the entire Changying Army has nine battalions (5 regiments), three engineer battalions (5 regiments), one battalion (two regiments) of light and heavy cavalry, one reconnaissance battalion (five brigades), and one cavalry battalion (two regiments) directly under the military government.
Guo Rong from later generations was very sad about the name of the battalion and regiment brigade, but after several ineffective struggles, Guo Rong could only comfort himself that they were happy.
"Lang General Li Rui, led Sun Jian, Yang Xin, and Shao Shumin to lead the third battalion of soldiers, the second regiment of the light cavalry battalion, and the second battalion of engineers, and went up the Weishui River and stationed in Chencang, Longzhou, and Fengxiang."
"The general and the lieutenant general will personally lead the heavy cavalry battalion, the first regiment of the light cavalry battalion, the sixth battalion of soldiers, the first battalion of engineers, the third battalion of engineers, and the engineer battalion directly under them, out of the state road."
"Changshi Han Yu stayed in Chang'an to be responsible for the training of the camp and the transfer and supply of materials!"
After completing all the arrangements, Luo Chinese, who had joined the army as the chief of staff in place, signaled to Guo Rong, and Guo Rong got up.
"There are still two days to go, and within two days, all departments will check and fill in the gaps, and on the first day of February, they will officially set off!"
Two days passed in a flash, and in the early morning of the first day of the second lunar month, the unexpected arrival of the Emperor Taishang in the cold wind brought great encouragement and morale to the Changying army.
At the same time, Yan Qing and Gu Lina, who did not say goodbye in order to go out with the army, were also brought to the eyes.
Soon, to the sound of rumbling drums, the Changying Army officially set out!
