May passed quickly, and time entered June of the seventh year of Daye. At this time, Mayi County has gradually entered autumn.
This is the busiest season of the year for racecourses.
War horses need to be bred during this season and hay needs to be stored for winter.
In autumn, it is also the time when war horses gain weight, so they must be grazed diligently.
The various military camps in Mayi County have also begun to request horse farms to send war horses. This year is different from previous years. The demand for war horses is extremely strong. This is preparing for war, because no one knows whether the Mayi defenders will be attacked.
Transferred to Hebei.
More and more people were coming and going, and Han Jing, the general of Heng'an Town, personally came to Yunnei Racecourse.
His submission has actually been sent to the county government.
But because of Shi Qianqian, he was afraid that the county magistrate Li Jing would deprive Heng'an Town of military supplies and war horses. After removing Shi Qian Qian, the county magistrate also strangled Heng'an Town's neck.
The magistrate of Yunnei County no longer dared to flirt with Heng'an Town in private, and sent money and food to Heng'an Town through transactions.
In other words, the lifeblood of the more than a thousand defenders in Heng'an Town has been captured.
Han Jing came to the racecourse and was very polite.
Li Po was more polite, and took Li Bi out by the way, and quietly told Han Jing, I am not in charge, look, the great master is here.
Han Jing and Li Bi said something, but Li Po didn't even listen.
When sending Han Jing off, Han Jing patted Li Po on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If my nephew has something to do, he can come to Heng'an Town to find me. As long as I can do it, I will not disappoint my nephew."
Even his nephew was called, and Li Po didn't know where he started discussing seniority, and he didn't even know what the discussion between Han Jing and Li Bi was like.
If you are satisfied, then there is no need to be so polite to him, a small official. If you are not satisfied, it doesn't look like that. The minds of these people are really unpredictable.
In fact, Li Po soon understood what the two people were talking about.
Because within a few days, news came that Heng'an Town was sending troops to suppress bandits. It goes without saying where the bandits were suppressed.
Dongshan bandits.
The so-called Dongshan bandits actually refer to the bandits in the mountains northeast of Heng'an Town.
Speaking of which, the origins of these thieves and bandits are also very mixed. They include refugees from the Sui Dynasty, tribesmen who fled from the north, deserters from Mayi and Yanmen, wanted criminals, etc. All of them are from Hu and Han people.
.
For these thieves, there are not many ways out, so let's rob, there are not many villages around, let's farm, not to mention the grain production in the mountains.
Therefore, the transactions conducted by these thieves are much easier to guess.
In addition to selling private salt, they also sell war horses, weapons and other things. In recent years, some gangs have also started slave trading.
They don't care whether you are a Sui or a Turk, as long as you contact them, they can do business with you, regardless of the target or race, based on fair transactions.
At this point, everyone must have understood that these are unruly businessmen.
They do business with Heng'an Town, Yunnei Racecourse, and Yanmen. The private salt sellers are friends with them, and the slave traders are also inextricably connected with them.
Even when they were relatively powerful, they would wander around the grasslands, defeat some tribes, seize some territory, and so on.
The chaos in the frontier gave them room to survive, allowing them to survive in the cracks even in the most difficult times.
But in the seventh and sixth months of Daye, the good days of the Dongshan bandits finally came to an end.
Li Jing, the magistrate of Mayi County, who was committed to rectifying the whole territory of Mayi, was unwilling to let these guys run free anymore, and finally forced Han Jing of Heng'an Town to send troops to suppress the bandits.
This battle was nothing to the elite Heng'an garrison. What was a little more troublesome was that the most terrifying cavalry unit was useless when entering the mountains to suppress bandits.
However, good news soon came from Heng'an Town. Hundreds of people were beheaded, and none of the named bandit leaders ran away. They were all cut off by Han Jing and sent to the county government.
The suppression of bandits by the government and army was as simple as that in the Sui Dynasty.
As long as the officers and soldiers want to suppress it, there is no bandit nest that cannot be breached.
Of course, when suppressing bandits in the mountains, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. Some go to Yanmen, and some go north and cross the Great Wall. That is not a question of Han Jing's ability to lead troops, but whether it is worth it.
Chase.
At the end of June, the Heng'an Zhenjun returned to the division.
Later, when they came to Yunnei Racecourse, it was not the general Han Jing, but one of his confidant generals. He came to the racecourse, paid a visit to Li Bi, and took away a hundred war horses from Yunnei Racecourse.
Before leaving, he told Li Po that the general had told you to go to Heng'an to have a drink with him when you have time.
It didn't even wait until the end of autumn, which means that Heng'an Town is also preparing for war.
At this moment, Li Bi's injuries seemed to be no longer serious. Of course, it would take some time to recover to the same level as before, but he was already able to ride horses and other things like a normal person.
In other words, it's time to send the god of plague away.
But Li Bi showed no sign of leaving. Li Po asked tentatively, but she ignored him at all and didn't even bother to roll his eyes.
But what made Li Po feel that something was particularly wrong was that Li Bi's training for the racecourse guards became more and more stringent. Strange faces came to the racecourse one after another. Soon, the number of guards at the racecourse had increased to about 300.
, this number is still growing.
Yes, this woman is going to Hebei.
Li Po felt that his good days seemed to be coming to an end.
Involuntarily, the requirements for Li Chun became more and more strict, and Li Chun was so trained that he didn't even dare to cry out about the pain.
By the end of June, a whole group of people were already stationed at the Yunnei Racecourse in a majestic manner.
Cheng Zhijie is here. This man seems to have a sharp head. He can get in wherever he wants.
Luo San came, and like Cheng Zhijie, he became a corps commander.
But Yuchi was nowhere to be seen. Luo San told Li Po that Yuchi was already the leader of the team and could be considered a real figure in the Mayi military camp.
But he didn't plan to come out. It was different when he had a backer.
It sounds sour. Obviously, grassroots people like Cheng Zhijie and Luo San don't understand Yuchi's choice.
By this time, it was self-evident what Li Bi wanted to do.
Drill, drill, drill again, and then the convenience of the racecourse, five hundred people, a group of cavalry, galloped back and forth in the racecourse all day long.
The Sui army's cavalry tactics and various drills.
It was almost no surprise that Li Po, who was the commanding officer of the Yunnei Racecourse, was incorporated into the army by Li Bi and served as a soldier and part-time brigade commander. In other words, Li Po became the first heir.
When Li Bi was not in the army, he was the leader.
(Please collect, recommend, and reward. I found information. The military system of the Sui Dynasty was very confusing. It was changed over and over again. No matter what, I will follow the military system of the Tang Dynasty. There may be some mistakes. You can point them out. Ah Cao is here
