"The people of the inner county, they don't know about the military, Zhonglang recruited these militiamen, can they be used?"

"In my opinion, it should be able to be used - aren't barbarians also unfamiliar with military affairs? Half a catty and eight taels~ As long as there are more county soldiers than barbarians, it is enough. ”

"Put these fools and stupid men into battle, don't be like the Yellow Turban thief, they will collapse in one rush, and they will affect our and other robed brothers."

"Atong is too worried. The county soldiers are or the yellow turban thieves, but the barbarians are not the sons of the six counties - do the barbarians have the ability to break down the military formation of the county soldiers? ”

"Haha, yes, yes. Jing Man can't find a decent knight - the barbarian is crowned by a monkey, and the barbarian is like a thin monkey riding an old donkey, how can he rush into battle? ”

"According to the opinion of the second and third sons, the county soldiers of Luo County are compared to the Yellow Turban thieves, who wins and who loses?"

"If I want to talk about it, it's the county soldiers in Luo County who are better - at least they can eat two meals a day. Compared with the yellow turban thief who couldn't eat a thin meal for three days, he still had a little more strength. ”

"In my opinion, it's not bad, it's just a matter of a knife - we and other Xiliang athletes can fight against a hundred!"

On the evening of 17 August, on the streets of the county seat of Luoxian County, several county soldiers who led a team to carry out the task of curfew and martial law and who were from the former Liangzhou Army gathered on the side, chatting with each other while fishing.

The temporarily conscripted Luoxian county soldiers, except for a small number who stayed in the county seat, will go to the district after dawn tomorrow to suppress the barbarian rebellion.

In a bureaucratic house in the county temple, Li Fang, Niu Fu and several other county soldiers and marching marquis gathered together, drinking and discussing the suppression of barbarians and counterinsurgency tomorrow and later.

Several ranks in a row, the young officers who were acting as senior officers for the first time raised their glasses and drank happily, and they were all elated. However, Niu Fu, the guest general who led the Luoxian County Soldiers on behalf of the Liangzhou Army's "True Sima", frowned.

Niu Fu was born in a good family in the six counties, and followed the Han Zhongliang Dong Zhongying to conquer the east and west, accumulating military merits, and rose all the way from the commander of the army, the chief of the army, and the team rate to the commander of the cavalry.

In November of the second year of Zhongping, during the confrontation between Dong Zhuo and the rebel army Bian Zhang and Han Sui in Meiyang County, Niu Fu led a tun cavalry to charge around the flank of the enemy formation, and disrupted the rebel army formation with a beautiful right hook. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo immediately made a decision, and attacked with the whole army such as Bao Hong, who was on the right side of the wind, broke the rules, defeated the rebels, and beheaded thousands of people.

After the war, Dong Zhuo was awarded the title of Marquis of Mucun, and he had thousands of households. Niu Fu was promoted to the pro-army Sima by Dong Zhuo, with a rank of 1,000 stones, and led 400 Lintao soldiers in two songs.

As a career officer, Niu Fu was full of doubts about the military deployment of Dong Yi, the son of a gentleman.

"Just give me a night, I don't have time to prepare for anything - even if the fifth school of the Northern Army comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to exert much combat power in a hurry, right?"

"Don't worry about Niu Sima," Li Fang disagreed, "Jingnan is not Xiliang, and the barbarian is not Qianghu - the temporarily recruited county soldiers lack combat power, but the barbarian thieves also have no combat power—it's just that the peasants beat each other, and whichever side has more people can win." ”

"Is that too much contempt for a thief?" Li Fang's statement did not put Niu Fu at ease, "I heard that the chaos thirty years ago was pacified after several years of tossing across counties and counties." ”

"Niu Sima," Li Fang said, getting up and pouring wine for Niu Fu, "and relax." ”

"There is labor." Niu Fu still frowned and nodded slightly.

"During the Jianwu period, after the ancestor dismissed the light chariots, knights, material officers, building boatmen and military false officials, and was exempted from the battle of the capital test, the military preparedness of the counties in Zhunei became increasingly relaxed, and the king's brigade was sluggish. Yesterday, the old thief who killed Niu Sima was the leader of the barbarian thieves during the chaos thirty years ago. ”

Speaking of this, Li Fang paused, raised his glasses and raised his eyebrows, and asked mysteriously: "Sima Ke knows, when the old thief was in trouble, was there a total number of soldiers in Changsha County?" ”

"In Longxi County, there are three battalions of standing county soldiers, with a total of 15 departments and 6,000 people. Changsha is different from Longxi, it is an inner county, there is no responsibility to defend the border, and the number of county soldiers may be halved? ”

"Hmm~" Li Fang took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "Half? Three thousand? It's too much. ”

"Two thousand?"

Li Fang continued to shake his head, reaching out and holding up a finger.

"A thousand?" Niu Fu couldn't believe it, "That's too little, isn't it?" ”

"A thousand?" Li Fang waved his hand again and again, "If there are a thousand, it's a song." ”

"This?!"

Niu Fu only suspected that he had misheard.

"A song? Five people and one team, two teams and one tithe, two teams and one tun, two tun and one song? ”

"Hmm~" Li Fang nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes." ”

"There are only 200 people in a song, how can you keep the peace of a county?!"

"Hehe~ How to protect it, it naturally can't be guaranteed."

Theoretically, the 200 county soldiers retained by Changsha County after the great disarmament in the Jianwu Year were not ordinary county soldiers, but an officer corps composed of grass-roots officers such as the army chief, the chief of the army, and the team leader. If something happens, after replenishing the conscription source, the establishment of the county army can be quickly expanded from a song to a battalion.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Thirty years ago, when the brutal rebellion broke out, the so-called officer corps had long since degenerated into a veteran oil regiment.

"The barbarians don't know about soldiers, but the county soldiers don't know about soldiers either. When the two sides meet each other in chess, they will meet good talents, and it is difficult to solve the inseparable fight from the three years of Yongshou to the three years of Yanxi. ”

"In my opinion," Li Fangzheng said, and another marching marquis interjected, "If my Liangzhou army had gone out back then, it would have been chaotic and peaceful. ”

"Color!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme!"

"Liangzhou Malaysia, rampant in the world!"

The wine was surging, the blood was up, everyone applauded, and the house was full of happy air.

"It's not good." Niu Fu's eyebrows have been twisted into the word "Chuan".

Thirty years have passed, and whether the barbarian has grown or not, Niu Fu does not know. But after a few months, Li Fang and the others had been assimilated by the unbearable local county soldiers in Feila, but Niu Fu saw it clearly.

"Arrogance and contempt for the enemy, but it is a taboo for generals to fight." Niu Fu swallowed a sip of bitter wine and shook his head secretly, "This muddy water, I hope I can wade through it smoothly." ”

"Gai is born with five materials, and the people use them together, and they can't be abolished, who can go to the army? …… Since the dismissal of the officials and knights of the county, the officials have no guards, which is really enlightening. If one side is in trouble, save it from three sides, there will be thunderstorms, smoke and electricity, everything will be done, and the head of the Qiantou will be arrogant. It's too late to talk about its shooting and using its oath, once it is driven away, it will be a strong enemy, like a dove catching an eagle and a bird, a guinea sheep and a jackal and a tiger, and it is often lost in every battle, and the king is sluggish" - "Han Guan"

"In the first year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty (56 years), Wudu Shen Wolf Qiang rebelled,...... Liu Xu, the Taishou of Longxi, sent Li Bao to work in Xindu and supervised the army, and sent 5,000 people to Wudu to fight with Qiang" - "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Xiqiang"
