Coming out of the festival hall, Guo Ying followed closely and went to redeem the reward.

However, the Jingyuan army is not as rich as those wealthy feudal towns, and the reward for winning is not high, even the Tubo soldiers have to see whether the other party is a shooter or a supporter (slave), not to mention that most of the tribal soldiers killed by Guo Ying's department are Tuyuhun and party soldiers, and the military merit report can only be exchanged for more than a hundred miscellaneous silks.

That's the price of three horses.

This made Guo Ying's guilt for most of the seizures dissipated in an instant.

……

Throughout August, September, and October, the Jingyuan army was busy preparing for the Tibetan War, and Guo Ying was no exception, busy reinforcing the fort defense every day, and at the same time supervising the training of the 600 soldiers under his hands.

Guo Ying, the military horse captured last time, sent ten horses to Feng Heqing.

Twenty horses were sold to Suining, and a total of 2,400 taels were sold, which was an acquaintance's price, and he mainly wanted to get in touch with Li Huaiguang in Suining.

Although Li Huaiguang has been following Guo Ziyi for more than 20 years since the army and serving under his command, there is no friendship between him and Guo Ying.

On the contrary, it is quite valued by the new emperor Li Shi, firstly, Li Huaiguang is a native of the Yan Dynasty, the law enforcement is severe, the six relatives do not recognize, and he can suppress the Shuofang army, and secondly, he frequently kills the generals, resulting in poor popularity, which is in line with the emperor's wishes, because this kind of person can only become a lonely minister, and it is most unlikely to form a party for personal gain.

So Li Shi subconsciously touched Li Huaiguang as a sword in his hand, handed over the 50,000 Shuofang troops in Hezhong and Suining to his commander, and did not hold him accountable for killing Wen Ruya, a veteran of the Shuofang army.

This directly made Li Huaiguang more powerful, and even faintly became the first general of the new dynasty.

Of course, the reason why Guo Ying intended to befriend Li Huaiguang was not because he was a saint, but because he was a key link in the "Jingyuan Mutiny" in the future.

To get back to the point, Guo Ying handed over the money exchanged from the horses in Suining City to the crown prince, except for the compensation for the casualties and the reward for the meritorious soldiers, who spent hundreds of yuan, the rest were stored by the king, and every three or five days he sent people from Anding City to exchange some sauce meat, rice millet, and add meals to the soldiers.

With the additional meal, Guo Ying naturally changed the original five-day exercise to a three-day exercise, and introduced the examination system, as for the training items, the original ones, weight-bearing, mounted archery, foot shooting, weapons......

Guo Ying did not add any queues in later generations, etc., because the military system and military management ideas of the Tang Dynasty were very mature.

Moreover, he believes that what restricts the combat effectiveness of the armed forces is not these in the final analysis, but logistical support, reward and punishment measures.

If you are equipped with soldiers with sharp blades and good horses, provide sufficient food and straw, and then affirm the military law, and reward the brave, the soldiers will not be able to die.

The previous imperial court transferred eight knots to besiege Wei Bo, and its momentum was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, but Wei Bo's soldiers were stunned to grit their teeth to support, isn't it because these military leaders are better under the rule of Tian Chengsi than under the rule of the Tang Dynasty?

In the same way, Datang is now weakened, but it's not that the soldiers can't fight, but the logistics can't keep up and can't collect taxes.

At this time, most of the prefectures and counties in the world did not declare their household registration and pay taxes to the imperial court, and only 49 prefectures and more than one million households actually paid taxes.

It may be better than the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Guo Ying did not plan to use the poor military knowledge of his previous life to transform these experienced veterans, but only introduced tug-of-war, polo, and juju, which emphasize teamwork, into the training ground to entertain and train sergeants.

Today, on the training ground at the end of the fort, there is a polo game, surrounded by men and women, all of whom are the families of the soldiers of the fort, watching intently the fierce confrontation on the flat ground in front of them.

Many of them had never even been to Anding City, sixty or seventy miles away, where had they seen this, and they all opened their eyes to look at it, for fear of missing any details, and even a few little ladies were so excited that their cheeks were slightly red.

This made the rough men on the field look at it, their hearts swayed, and they performed vigorously one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

It's like gorilla courtship.

It's no wonder who let these guys have no place to put them, and they can only rely on kicking football to vent.

Of course, in fact, there are other ways to vent their desires, such as going to the camp prostitutes below the camp camp to fight, but the beautiful music people and military prostitutes in the music camp are all occupied by the generals.

Most of the people left for ordinary soldiers are mediocre, how can these rough men be willing to spend money to wronged themselves, after all, not everyone is cold and unscrupulous.

Although Guo Ying didn't know the price of being happy once, she saw Hao Ying coming out of the camp with a painful face, and estimated that the price should not be low.

Of course, it is also possible that Hao Wei is particular and picks an expensive one, after all, you get what you pay for.

Different prices, different services.

……

"Hachiro, you can really do it, the fun polo of the people in the palace has brought you to this remote fortress."

A hearty laugh came from the side, interrupting Guo Ying's thoughts.

He got up and looked back, and saw Feng Heqing, who was wearing armor and carrying a treasure knife at his waist, walking over and greeting him with a smile on his face.

"General, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you kid had made so many names."

Feng Heqing laughed.

Guo Ying didn't know whether he was praising or derogating, and coughed dryly: "Please teach the general." ”

"I'm not a teacher, so what do I have to teach you?" Feng Heqing glanced at Guo Ying with a smile.

"You're doing a good job, looking at this red-faced and energetic appearance, it seems that your kid is very willing to spend money!"

Hearing him say this, Guo Ying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he was still worried that Feng Heqing was because he led the soldiers to play and did not defend in the fort, so Xingshi asked for guilt.

Now it seems that he misunderstood him.

"The last general just felt that if the soldiers did not have oil and water in their stomachs, they would inevitably have weak strength in training, so they specially got some food to treat them." Guo Ying arched his hand and explained.

"Then what do you mean by letting them play polo?"

"First, it is to watch the soldiers train and work tirelessly every day, so that they can relieve their boredom; The second is to hone their riding skills and enhance their sense of cooperation. ”

Guo Ying had already arranged the answers and stated them one by one.

Feng Heqing pondered for a moment and said, "You think long-term. ”

Guo Ying smiled modestly.

"But ......," Feng Heqing said suddenly.

Guo Ying's heart suddenly lifted, he was most afraid that someone would say no more than two words.

But I heard Feng Heqing say: "I didn't come to you for this, I'll make a long story short." ”

"On the first day of the new year, Tubo and Nanzhao sent out 200,000 divisions to commit three ways against my Jiannan.

The middle road enters and exits Maozhou, passes through Wenchuan and Guankou; The north road is from Fuzhou and Wenzhou, passing through Fangwei and Baiba; The south road is from Lizhou and Yazhou, and crosses the Qionglai Pass, and the momentum is huge.

Jiedu made Zhang Yansheng to Jiannan, unable to control the army, left behind the generals, each can not resist, along the way the prefectures and counties, mostly broken by Tubo, the state and county officials fled, the people fled into the valley, the situation was critical.

The imperial court urgently summoned Li Sheng, the commander of the right Shence, to lead 4,000 Shence troops, and Qu Huan, the general of the Left Jin Wuwei, led 5,000 elite soldiers from Suining, Fengxiang, and Fanyang to rescue with two soldiers and horses in Shannan.

In addition, the saint specially named your name and ordered you to go to General Qu's tent to listen to it, quickly pack it up, I have prepared all the soldiers for you. ”

When Guo Ying heard this, he felt his heart beat faster and his blood boiled.

At the moment, I didn't care about anything, so I knelt down on one knee and bowed sincerely.

"General Xie cultivates."

"Well, thank me for what I did, thank the saint." Having said that, Feng Heqing still accepted this gift calmly.

It is true that the emperor asked Guo Ying to listen to the Quhuan tent, but the difference between having soldiers and not soldiers is big, there are soldiers who can make meritorious contributions, and what can no soldiers do, do you offer advice?

Not a strategist!

Of course, Guo Ying is very sensible and can be a man, which is also the reason why he is willing to cultivate him.

"Go and gather troops quickly, I'll wait for you in the right wing barracks outside Anding City."

Feng Heqing waved his hand, and before Guo Ying could continue to be grateful, he had already drifted away.

Guo Ying got up, and the whole person was excited.

The opportunity to make a contribution is here!
