The Ministry of Forbidden Army, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Development and Reform, the Education Supervisor, the Science and Technology Supervisor, and the Navigation Supervisor......

The forbidden army and the military department are okay, but when the Ministry of Development and Reform and the education supervisor have never even heard of the positions, Guo Rong is collapsed, and the emperor has obviously mastered the secret of capitalists, using women as men and men as livestock......

According to this rhythm, Guo Rong is definitely not enough to be divided into eight petals......

Fortunately, Li Yu is not a real capitalist, and he will not really squeeze Guo Rong to the limit, at least the time to fight the landlord at night is reserved for Guo Rong, as for whether Guo Rong is willing or not, it is obviously not within the scope of the emperor's consideration.

For many other positions, in most cases, Guo Rong only needs to go to the yamen for about half a day to see the progress of various projects, and put forward some ideas, opinions, and ideas when necessary.

What Guo Rong really needs to be responsible for is the overall planning and establishment of the entire Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the Fourth Army and the Twelve Guards of the Southern Ya.

Or to put it another way, supplement and improve the structure of the four armies of the Northern Ya, and then use the four armies of the Northern Ya as a template to rebuild the twelve guards of the southern ya, and completely restore the central army of the Tang Dynasty.

During the two and a half years that Guo Rong led his troops to follow Emperor Taishang, Han Yu stayed in Chang'an to sit in the camp of the Changying army.

Its main tasks are twofold, the first is to continue to recruit new recruits and professional auxiliaries in the name of the Changying Army, and to complete training and assessment.

Second, he commanded the four armies of the forbidden army and the recruited recruits, as the defenders and patrol forces of Chang'an, in a sense, at this stage, Han Yu actually became the commander of the garrison of Chang'an as a civilian official.

It is precisely for this reason that although he was once scolded by Chang'an's emigrants, students and civil officials because of being affected by Guo Rong, it became a shame for the literati, but after Han Yu directly moved his family to the Forbidden Garden Barracks, everything died down, which did not affect the recruitment and training of recruits for the Changying Army under Han Yu's leadership.

They can attack civilian officials, but storming the forbidden army barracks is no joke.

When Guo Rong led his troops back to Chang'an, there were more than 50,000 soldiers in the forbidden army barracks in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, and more than 15,000 soldiers had passed the training and assessment, and the number of professional auxiliary soldiers such as engineers, medical soldiers, and cooking soldiers also exceeded 15,000.

After a long march of more than 10,000 miles, a surprise attack on Yunzhou on a snowy night, a march on the grassland, a sweep and a fierce battle in Mobei, combined with the experience of Zheyun Valley, plus the previous combat experience in Longxi and Longnan, Guo Rong determined his previous judgment:

That is, in a foreign war, as long as it is a frontal battle, no matter who the opponent is, whether it is the Tibetans or the Uighurs, it is not the opponent of the Tang army of the same size at all, not to mention the forbidden army that Guo Rong has refined to the extreme and is armed to the teeth.

On the contrary, in the southwest and eastern Liaodong, under the complex terrain, when facing the southwestern and eastern Liaodong tribes, that kind of asymmetrical guerrilla warfare would make the Tang army relatively difficult.

In the civil war, in the face of the Tang army under the command of the feudal towns of Hebei, the Central Plains, and the southwest, if there were only soldiers, the advantage of the forbidden army, including the Changying army, was not too obvious.

After all, the feudal towns under the command are also full-time Tang Dynasty soldiers, and the feudal towns who know that the military power is the first are also willing to equip the soldiers under their command.

From this point of view, the soldiers of the forbidden army, including the Changying Army, can only be said to have certain advantages in terms of equipment, tactics, and combat skills, and do not form a crush, and the greater advantage is that they have spiritual factors such as morale, faith, and willpower.

Of course, this is not counting the specialized auxiliaries, if you add reconnaissance, engineers, medical care, and those cooks who are better than the soldiers after they really go to the battlefield, it will not be a problem to form a crush.

Although it did not directly fight with the Hebei Domain, the Changying Army had a hard fight with the Tubo people in Jingzhou and Xiaoguan.

According to the calculations of the staff committee of the Changying Army, when the Changying Army fought against the Tubo Army, which also had heavy infantry as the main force, the battle loss ratio was between 1 to 2 to 1 to 3.

Considering that the engineer battalion was still in the initial stage of creation during the battles of Longxi and Jingyuan, the direct auxiliary role in the battle was far from reaching the current level, and it should also reach between 1 to 2 and 1 to 3.

In this environment, considering the tasks of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army and the Southern Ya Twelve Guards, the rebuilding of tactical and strategic units has become the final step in completing the Central Army of the Tang Dynasty.

In Guo Rong's mind, completing this step means that he is getting closer and closer to leading the army back to Anxi.

Under the extremely high enthusiasm and clear motivation, the current situation of Datang, the current situation of the Changying Army, and the expectations for the future, a reorganization plan along the direction of the rabbit synthesis camp was released.

With the help of this change, Guo Rong also moderately changed the names that made him awkward and awkward.

Ten people are a squad, a single branch of the army, considering the habits of the Tang Army, even and the class are universal.

Among the foot soldiers, five tithes are platoons, each platoon has two tithes for crossbowmen, one tishi for archers, one tishi for heavy armor and heavy infantry, and one tishi for multi-functional infantry carrying swords, shields, and sapper shovels.

In addition to the regular soldiers, each company is assigned to a five-man medical squad, a ten-man cooking squad, a ten-man reconnaissance squad, a fifty-man engineer platoon, and a company headquarters of ten men.

At full strength, there were 235 men in a single combat company.

Among the cavalry, three are platoons, one is light cavalry, one is heavy cavalry, and one is heavy infantry on horseback.

Three standard cavalry platoons form a cavalry company, excluding the regular cavalry platoon, each cavalry company will be equipped with a ten-man mounted cavalry, a twenty-man engineer platoon, a five-man medical squad, a five-man groom squad, a ten-man cooking squad, a ten-man logistics squad, and a company headquarters of ten men.

In full strength, a cavalry company consisted of 160 men, 250 horses, and 100 pack horses.

Among the sappers, five are platoons, four are engineers, and one is logistics.

An engineer company consists of two engineer platoons, a combat platoon shouldering vigilance, logistics, and auxiliary tasks, a five-person medical squad, a ten-man cooking squad, and a company headquarters of 10 people, totaling 165 people.

Whether it is an infantry company, a cavalry company, or an engineer company, it has both independent combat capability and independent defense capability, and it has become the smallest tactical unit in the Changying Army, or the forbidden army, that can complete independent tactical goals.

In addition, there is a 50-man reconnaissance platoon, a 10-man medical team, a 10-man groom and veterinary team, a 10-man battalion is a cooking class, and the battalion headquarters is 20 people.

At full strength, a battalion of 1,130 men may be strengthened to 1,200 to 1,300 depending on the task, with the battalion commander as the supreme commander and the rank of lieutenant.

A separate cavalry battalion was about six hundred people, and a separate engineer battalion was about six hundred.

The battalion will become the largest tactical unit in the Changying Army, as well as the smallest combat unit, which can take on combat missions in the entire region and the defense of border states.

Three battalions, one cavalry battalion and one engineer battalion, form the core framework of a regiment, which is also accompanied by a medical team of at least 20 personnel, a reconnaissance company, a logistics company, a cooking squad and regimental commander.

After the expedition, the original number of troops plus the supplementary subordinate troops, the number of a regiment will reach about 5,000 people, and it will become the smallest strategic unit, and the highest command will be the regiment commander, and the rank of Lang General or Zhong Lang General will be.

The entire Changying Army will have three war regiments, a cavalry regiment, an engineer regiment, and a 50-man medical team, plus the supporting troops, the total strength will reach 21,000 people, and more than 30,000 horses, pack horses and other livestock.

In Guo Rong's setting, the Changying Army, the Yulin Army, the Shenwei Army, and the Tiance Army will have a total strength of 84,000 people, and these four forbidden armies will become the real trump card force of the Tang Dynasty.

The four forbidden armies deterred local feudal towns internally and enemy countries such as Tibet externally.

Of course, Guo Rong here is also selfish,

The original 12 guards of the Nanya, the left and right guards, the left and right Jinwu guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right Wei guards, and the left and right imperial guards, are all based on the forbidden army war corps to supplement a battalion of soldiers, each guard has about 6,000 soldiers and horses, a total of about 72,000 people.

The main tasks of the Twelve Guards are: first, to guard the strategic places in Guanzhong, including the four passes of Xiaoguan, Sanguan, Wuguan, and Tongguan, as the first line of defense in the Guanzhong Plain, the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

Second, when the cannon sounds, ten thousand taels of gold are the unchanging truth in any era and place.

With such a vast land area of Datang and such a complex situation in Datang at this stage, it is unrealistic to dispatch four powerful forbidden armies if there is any problem.

After all, once the four large-scale forbidden armies are dispatched, the money and food consumed will be very terrifying, and for Yi Yin's Tang court, a few expeditions are enough to go bankrupt.

Therefore, while guarding the strategic points in Guanzhong, the Twelve Guards will take on the task of resisting small-scale invasions and suppressing small-scale rebellions.

According to this plan, after the complete completion of the reconstruction, the new Tang Central Army, composed of the Fourth Army of the Northern Ya and the Twelve Guards of the Southern Ya, will become an existence that can crush any force in this land!

The plan was made, Guo Rong and the officials of the forbidden army, the guard army and the military department, and even Li Shigu, who is now in charge of the military department, were very surprised, but Guo Rong, who went to Li Yu with the complete plan, was a little uneasy.

At the beginning, his 30,000-strong army of Changying almost consumed a whole year's treasury income, and with an army of more than 100,000 people, Guo Rong felt a stomachache when he thought about it......

Just finished the plan, and before Guo Rong could take a good time, someone suddenly came to deliver a message, and the eldest princess asked General Guo to return to the mansion quickly.

Hearing that Yan Qing was looking for himself, Guo Rong didn't dare to delay, and it was definitely not a trivial matter for Xiao Fourteen to find himself, so he hurried back with the plan that had been completed.

Sure enough, after returning to the mansion, Yan Qing's first sentence surprised Guo Rong.

"The caravan has just sent back an urgent letter from Hexi, which says that the Tubo people are shrinking their front in the Western Regions, and Dadu Hu deduces that the Tubo people are secretly transferring troops from the Western Regions and Hexi to the Central Plains?"

"What? The Tibetans transferred troops to the Central Plains? ”

"Yes, the soldiers and horses of the Tubo people in the Western Regions are being mobilized on a small scale, but the scale is so small that not only has it not attracted the attention of the big cannibals, but even many of the Tubo people themselves do not know!"

"Anda Xian found out?"

"No, this Anda Xian didn't pay attention to it at first, it was discovered when the Metropolitan Governor asked the merchants in various places to carefully investigate the situation and changes of the Tubo garrisons in various places, and Dadu Hu originally thought that the Tubo people were preparing to secretly gather troops and prepare to besiege Qiuci again, so he ordered to strengthen the guard, and at the same time, the members of the caravan began to infiltrate the towns controlled by the Tubo people around Qiuci."

"However, after waiting for more than a month, the Tubo people showed no signs of besieging the city, and there was no sign of increasing troops in several cities around Qiuzi, so Daduhu deduced that the Tubo people were transferring troops in the direction of the Central Plains......

While speaking, Yan Qing directly handed Guo Rong a letter, and after taking the letter, Guo Rong immediately unfolded the letter, and when he saw the content on it, Guo Rong's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help muttering.

"How could it be that at this time, my father-in-law's inference was correct, if it wasn't to besiege Qiuzi, what did the Tubo people want to do?"

Guo Rong looked at his heart and pondered for a long time, but in the end he did not guess the true purpose of the Tubo people.

"My father-in-law is right, the Tubo people do something of this scale with such a posture, and the plan is definitely not small, but it is ......"

I glanced at the letter in my hand again, and Guo Xin's handwriting on it clearly read, be careful, be cautious...... After hesitating, pondering, and thinking about it several times, Guo Rong finally frowned and shook his head.

"It seems that I want to tell Your Majesty about this intelligence network!"

"Now, so early, didn't we say that when we return to the Western Regions and Anxi, you resign, and we will hand over this line to Your Majesty after we return to Hexi?"

"I thought so at the time, but the movement of the Tubo people is too abnormal, my father-in-law doesn't know what the Tubo people are going to do, and I don't know what the Tubo people are going to do, but the transfer of troops from tens of thousands of miles away little by little, thinking about this is not a good sign!"

After thinking for a moment, Guo Rong continued.

"This kind of abnormal thing, I can't say it, Tubo has more than 100,000 troops in the Eastern Territory, and it may not be possible to transfer troops from the Western Regions and Hexi, and it may not be from the mainland and Tianzhu, the plan is not small, and once the scale of the war starts is definitely not small, even if a full-scale war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty breaks out, I am not surprised, since I have found traces, then make plans early, help me prepare, and I will enter the palace now!"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Your Majesty, this is the establishment of the forbidden army and the guard army and the final reform plan finally formulated by the ministers, according to the achievements of the Changying Army since its formation, combined with the experience of the local army and the border army, and with reference to the actual combat of Mobei and other ......"

"The core point is to further strengthen the role of specialized auxiliaries, and the previous use is delegated to the company level......"

"Since there is already a complete set of professional auxiliary forces at the company level, when necessary, a company as the core will be supplemented and expanded, and gradually the ...... can be ."

Guo Rong spoke next to him, and Li Yu listened and commented at the same time, and when Guo Rong finished telling the hard work of himself and his staff officers, he saw a smile on Li Chen's face.

"Yes, yes, it is very detailed from the starting point to the plan, I am very satisfied," as he spoke, Li Yu's face suddenly showed an indescribable smile.

"But, what, can't wait to call back to Anxi?"

When it came to Anxi, Guo Rong knew that Li Yu could see through his careful thoughts at a glance, but Guo Rong didn't hide it, just smiled.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is homesick, the minister was ordered at this time to lead the eighth regiment from Qiuzi, and it has been four years now, and the minister doesn't know how many old men in the family still have ......"

"What else?"

Your Majesty, you know that the Eldest Princess's Mansion also sent a caravan, led by Anda Xian to the Western Regions, this caravan is actually not just a caravan, the minister hopes to establish a trade route through Anda Xian's identity as the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and establish a connection between Qiuzi and the Tang Dynasty.

"Actually, don't worry so much, didn't you tell me about this idea a long time ago, I still remember, don't worry, I believe in you, but this, I'm more curious, how much do you earn, how much do you earn?"

It's okay not to mention this, mentioning this, Guo Rong felt that his heart hurt, why can Anda Xian block and kill God in Hexi, Buddha block and kill Buddha, all the way unimpeded, in addition to Anda Xian's ability, this enough wealth is his greatest confidence.

"Your Majesty, actually...... In fact...... Actually, I didn't earn a penny, and I almost lost the family of the eldest princess's mansion......"

"No, Yan Qing's dowry at that time, but it made the nobles of Kansai and the wealthy families in Kanto look red-eyed, in the past two or three years, your family has secretly been unlucky with the glazed ware, and you have made a lot of money, how can you lose money!

！ ”

"Your Majesty, don't you know, when Anda Xian left, he took away eighty percent of the wealth of the princess's mansion, and Jinsha alone pulled a whole car, Anda Xian does have brains, but when he spends money, he is not distressed at all......"

Li Yu: You TM also have today, you seem to be this virtue when you spend Lao Tzu's money, now the wicked have their own wicked grinding, the heavens are clear, negligent but not leaky, the sky, the earth, finally someone avenged Lao Tzu!

Of course, all this is what Li Yu thinks in his heart.

"What's going on with Andaxian now?"

"In the second year of Yuanhe, Anda Xian arrived at Qiuci, and then ......, when this letter was sent, Anda Xian's caravan had arrived at Bachang City, more than three hundred miles west of Qiuci, and ...... there,"

"What is the place in the city of Bachang?"

"Your Majesty, Bachang City is an important commercial town in the Western Regions, it is located at the confluence of two rivers, and it is a rare place in the Western Regions where water and grass are abundant......"

"According to his father-in-law's arrangement, Anda Xian should have crossed the Green Mountains at this time and set up a base in Wudana...... Other than that...... The first group of caravan members belonging to the Changgong Mansion had returned to Chang'an along the opened trade route, and brought back a letter from his father-in-law, in which he said that he had discovered the true lifeblood of the Tubo people, and that he had sent Anda Xian to lead the caravan, and that the father-in-law had found that the Tubo people were ...... to the "

After hearing the true lifeblood of the Tibetan people, Li Yu's emotions, which originally seemed very calm, seemed to be mobilized in an instant.

"What about faith?"

Looking at the Emperor Taishang, whose face was excited and even a little hideous, and stretched out his hand towards him while speaking, Guo Rong shuddered, and then Guo Rong put away his careful thoughts and handed over the letter from his arms.
