Chapter 54: Sending Troops
"Bi Tai, Bai Wenyuan, haven't any of them arrived yet?" Zhang Xiao asked his Xi Junshi a little impatiently.
Zhang Xiao has been very irritable recently, very irritable.
Since the capture of Luoning City, Zhang Xiao has finally lived the life of "landlord and old wealth", there are two or three maidservants to serve, there is a house, and there is also an office (county office), if there is not so much military affairs, Zhang Xiao feels that the current life is very perfect.
"Zhang Shuai, don't be in a hurry, calculate the distance, Bai Wenyuan should arrive at noon today. Bi Tai looked at Zhang Xiao, who was a little irritable, and said slowly.
Bi Tai knew why Zhang Xiao was in a hurry, but in fact, he also felt very anxious.
Because Zhang Xiao now has too many soldiers under his command.
"Da Sui is really going to die. Pitt thought a little wistfully.
Now the world is like a huge powder keg, just a little spark, can form a fire of the prairie momentum, even if the emperor of the great cause (Yang Guang), has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, it is difficult to recover the situation.
Three days ago, Zhao Jintong had already led the army to Luoning County, but this time he brought back not 3,000 troops, but more than 10,000 people.
Coupled with the four thousand soldiers recruited by Zhang Xiao in Luoning City, Zhang Xiao already had nine thousand people under his command.
But the problem is that these soldiers are pure rabble.
Although Zhao Jintong is the only general under Zhang Xiao, his ability is only at the level of a centurion, just leading the army out for a turn, and about one-tenth of his soldiers escaped.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of soldiers who defected was higher, Zhao Jintong would not have been able to raise his head in front of Zhang Xiao.
When Zhang Xiao learned the news, he couldn't cry or laugh, and finally made a decision that except for the more than 2,000 people in Zhao Jintong's headquarters, all the other new soldiers were under Zhang Xiao's own jurisdiction, and Zhang Xiao personally took care of all the military affairs.
Although in Bi Tai's opinion, the lord can be said to be a master of military law, and he actually sorted out the 10,000 rabble in just three days, but Bi Tai also knew that this was not a long-term solution.
"Big brother, the one named Bai Wenyuan has arrived. A slightly panicked teenager broke into the yamen, and then shouted to Zhang Xiao.
Bi Tai was slightly displeased, it was too unruly, but Bi Tai also knew that this young man, who was originally named Wang Shishi, and was now renamed Wang Jian by Zhang Xiao, was like a brother to the lord, even if it was a little too much, the lord would not care.
"You need to set a rule, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe in the future. Bitai didn't say anything, but he made up his mind in his heart.
After Zhang Xiao heard Bai Wenyuan's news, he almost ran out as if he was flying.
"Wen Yuan, how late you came. After Zhang Xiao saw Bai Wenyuan, he seemed to be a little complaining.
In fact, Bai Wen's original was already very fast, Bai Wenyuan was originally from Nanyang, after receiving Bi Tai's letter and Zhang Xiao's generous gift, he almost rushed over, and the wind and dust along the way was already the maximum.
The reason why Wei Zheng and Shen Luoyan came so quickly was actually because they both lived in Luoyang City, which was not far away.
However, after hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Bai Wenyuan was very moved, and he was ecstatic about Zhang Xiao's thirst for talent, with an expression of meeting the master.
"Lord Qi. Bai Wenyuan wanted to explain his "degree problem" to Zhang Xiao, but was interrupted by Zhang Xiao's next sentence just as he wanted to speak.
"I don't know how many soldiers Wen Yuan can bring. Zhang Xiao opened his mouth and asked Bai Wenyuan a very important question.
This is actually not easy to answer, because if the answer is less, then it will naturally indicate that you are incompetent, and if you answer "the more the merrier" like Han Xin, it is actually looking for death.
"Five thousand. Bai Wenyuan gave a relatively safe figure.
Bai Wenyuan once served as a low-level officer for a period of time, but later he couldn't stand the darkness in the army, so he resigned angrily, but because of the experience during this time, Bai Wenyuan also had a vague understanding of his ability, and it was estimated that it should not be a problem for him to lead 10,000 troops.
If you put it down, it means that you can lead 5,000 troops, which is more secure.
"Okay, I'll hand over 5,000 recruits to you, and be sure to train me within half a month. After hearing Bai Wenyuan's words, Zhang Xiao said decisively.
After hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Bai Wenyuan was as stunned as Shen Luoyan and Wei Zheng.
Truth is the Lord.
Although Bai Wenyuan is not a complete poor scholar, but he was only born in a defeated small family, he has been through ups and downs for so many years, and has never been reused, Bai Wenyuan even recently even gave birth to the idea of taking refuge in the "ogre king" Zhu Ji.
Bai Wenyuan almost didn't hesitate about Zhang Xiao's solicitation, and rushed over almost non-stop on the same day, because Bai Wenyuan knew that there would be no worse lord in this world than Zhu Ji.
When Bai Wenyuan was a little happy to greet his recruits, Zhang Xiao was finally able to take a breath.
Zhang Xiao now only has a thousand centaurs left under his command, but he is the most elite centaurs.
Not to mention anything else, all the weapons of these thousand people come from trading with the Dongming faction, and each person has an iron gun in his hand, you must know that Zhang Xiao is in urgent need of weapons now, most of them are, "Chopping wood for soldiers, unveiling poles for flags".
These 1,000 people are all trained by Liu Fu and Liu Lu brothers in accordance with the "military training", although because of the short time, there is no way to compare with their own "100 people", but at least they have been out of the category of the rabble.
These thousand elite soldiers are the top priority in Zhang Xiao's eyes, and the other soldiers are just trivial matters, it is naturally a good thing to be able to bring them well, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Otherwise, Zhao Jintong would never have the ability to stay in his position.
6 continued, Yi Zhe, Xiong Kuohai, Meng Xiaowen, Zhang Tong'er, and Wang Ke all took refuge in Zhang Xiao's side, except for Yi Zhe who was Bi Tai's deputy, the others were military generals.
According to their situation and requirements, Meng Xiaowen led 2,000 troops, Zhang Tong'er led 3,000 troops, Wang Ke led 2,000 troops, and Xiong Kuohai became the leader of Zhang Xiao's personal guards.
The Great Sui is really about to perish.
The reason why Zhang Xiao was able to come up with so many soldiers for these new generals to command was because there were more soldiers who took refuge in Zhang Xiao.
After capturing Luoning County, Zhang Xiao was not short of food, so Zhang Xiao ordered that all soldiers who took refuge in themselves could get one stone of food, and in the future, they would be paid two buckets per month.
When Zhang Xiao announced the news, all the people who defected to Zhang Xiao became shoulder to shoulder, even if Zhang Xiao raised the conditions for enlistment, his team still grew to more than 20,000 Cheng Dรน.
When Zhang Xiaoli was eager to try, Shen Luoyan finally came back with the treasure map of Yang Gong's treasure.
After Shen Luoyan's repeated persuasion, Yang Xuangan finally agreed to Zhang Xiao's conditions, the only requirement was that Zhang Xiao must attack Tongguan within three days, otherwise Yang Xuangan would spread the news that Yang Gong's treasure map was in Zhang Xiao's hands all over the world.
Zhang Xiao had actually been waiting for this news for a long time, and he didn't wait for three days at all, and directly sent troops to Tongguan the next day, that is, on August 3.
Suddenly, the world was shocked.
