After entering Guangxin County, the regiment did not stop and went straight to Zhennanguan.
However, Zhennanguan Pass is not a fortress, it is just an important checkpoint.
Since the pass is small, not many troops can be stationed. Unless the war is serious, most of the small soldiers will be stationed in the Yingshan Camp, less than 20 miles north of Zhennan Pass.
The emperor called him names and scolded him in the Imperial Study Room. The news reached Zhennanguan, and the Yanhui Army only dared to leave dozens of troops waiting for the handover, and the main force moved northward early.
Guanlu Ping has heard a little bit about this.
As soon as he entered the Yingshan camp and completed the handover with the Yan Hui Army, he called several forward battalion commanders to the main tent.
Ren Ning is also among them.
"It's been a long journey from the fortress for nearly two months. Thank you for your hard work."
"When you arrive at the new station, you will have a new atmosphere. The food, climate, terrain, and enemies here in the south are all very different from those in Xiliang. Each battalion will first organize its internal affairs and rest for a day. Starting tomorrow, it will immediately carry out adaptation training as planned.
, in order to restore combat strength as soon as possible. No one can slack off!"
"Yes!" All the generals responded loudly in unison.
"The main force of the legion and the food, grass and baggage are still behind. I don't want the general and other brothers to arrive at the Yingshan camp and see a mess or even chaos. This is not the style of our Xingluo Army. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Guan Luping nodded with satisfaction.
"We used to be stationed in the Western Region. There were grasslands everywhere, and the Rock Frontier Fortress was like a nail that couldn't be pulled out."
"Xiliang's army can bypass the fortress and head east at any time. However, the most valuable thing in Pingxi County is the stones in the ground. They can rob them as they please. And there are few people in Xiliang, so we have to worry that our hometown will be raided by our troops. So as long as we hold on to the fortress, we can
Can stabilize the western frontier."
Having said this, Guan Luping patted the newly hung map.
"Now we are here in Guangxin County."
"The situation here is much more complicated than that in the west. Not only does it border five neighboring countries, but the border is also winding and full of high mountains and dense forests, making it difficult to guard against."
"The enemy can come in at any time from certain mountain intersections, kill people, and set fires. Everyone has seen the roads outside. Even if we have thousands of miles of horses, if we get the news and rush to rescue, I am afraid it will be several steps too late."
"Let's not talk about the peaceful and contented life of the people of Guangxin. The Baihua County next door is one of the imperial medicine warehouses. The flames of war must not reach there. Otherwise, if the fire continues, the medicine fields will not be able to restore the supply of medicine for several years."
"And medicine is the life of brothers!"
Buzz!
The battalion commanders stared at the map and talked about it, and after a while they all frowned.
In addition to the main troops, Zhennanguan will also station two legions, with a total of less than 100,000 people. However, there are long land and water routes on the border. If every intersection has to be defended, I am afraid that even twice as many troops will not be able to defend it.
.
A battalion commander suddenly spoke.
"General, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. The border is too long, and it may not be easy to defend. How about we attack directly to the south and destroy these small countries in the south, so that they will not dare to go north easily again.
never mind."
"That's how it should be." Other battalion commanders agreed.
"Since they have the courage to go north, they should have thought that we would go south. If they don't act like good neighbors, then they should ask if the swords in our hands are sharp."
Pipeline flat nods.
"Your Majesty has transferred our Starfall Legion here. He must have had enough patience with these small countries in the south. He will definitely go south. It's just a matter of time. Don't worry."
Everyone looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"After all, we have just arrived and are not used to the climate, food, etc., so we need some time to adjust. Your Majesty will know it in your heart."
"But this is not an excuse for you to be lazy and procrastinate. Each battalion must be alert and ready to fight at any time. Let your subordinates keep an eye on every mountain pass, firmly guard every inch of the border, and never allow the southern countries to step in. Do you understand?
"
"clear!"
After a few more words of encouragement, Guan Luping let the battalion commanders leave.
"Ren Ning, you stay first!"
"Yes!" Ren Ning turned around and looked at Guan Luping questioningly.
"There are ten forward battalions. How many people came just now?" he asked.
Ren Ning's heart moved and he said loudly: "Back to the general, nine battalion commanders have just arrived."
Guan Luping nodded, "While in the west, Commander Liu of the fifth battalion was seriously injured and has been recuperating. I will see how you sent the spirit back home this time and how you dealt with the epidemic.
Cai. Are you willing to take over the Fifth Battalion of the Forward Battalion in place of Commander Liu?"
Ren Ning was slightly startled.
The battalion commander (Qian Commander) is on the same level as the bodyguard. For him, there is no promotion or demotion. The advantage is that he has his own men from now on.
Based on Yunchui's military system, each battalion's combat strength is one thousand men, and including logistics, it should not exceed one thousand two hundred men.
As long as he agrees, he can control a thousand troops in the future.
There are also disadvantages.
For example, he is relatively dangerous and has to go to the front line at any time. And he can no longer appear under the general's nose often. If there is another beautiful job like sending a soul back to his hometown, Guan Luping may not think of him at the first time.
Of course, this is a case of doing nothing. If you want to lead the camp beautifully, the striker will naturally keep it in mind.
He quickly reacted and puffed out his chest: "Return to the general, Ren Ning is willing!"
Guan Luping nodded, "If anyone among my general's personal guards is willing to go with you, go and pick a few."
"Yes!" Ren Ning was not surprised, he bowed his hands and turned around and strode away from the main tent.
Xiao Gang held Bai Yu's hand and kept sighing.
From Caopu County in Baihua County to Zhennanguan in front of him, he was full of tangles. He wanted to know which camp he would be assigned to early, but he was also worried that the pipeline manager would be dissatisfied because of the rush and asked him to do logistics.
.
"Xiao Gang!" Ren Ning waved his hand from a distance.
Second Young Master Xiao quickly came forward and opened his mouth eagerly but did not dare to make a sound.
Ren Ning smiled: "I just resigned from the general's personal guard battalion and was transferred to take charge of the fifth forward battalion. Are you willing to follow me?"
"If you are willing, leave now. If not, just wait and wait for the general's assignment."
Feudal society had strict hierarchies. After all, Xiao Gang was the prince's son, and ordinary soldiers would not dare to yell at him casually.
Xiao Gang is overjoyed!
Isn't this a waste of money?
He punched his palm and said, "My subordinate is willing."
Along the way, Xiao Gang has long been convinced of Ren Ning. Following him may be dangerous but at least he can live longer.
The two were talking and laughing, and just as they arrived at the gate of the fifth camp, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Look back.
Lei Er was chewing something in his mouth and waved to them with a smile.
As a personal guard, he would stay with the general most of the time. Now that he had just arrived at the unfamiliar Yingshan camp, the personal guards would not leave him at all.
Therefore, not long after Ren Ning agreed to take charge of the fifth battalion, Lei Er found out.
"Old Ren, don't you mind having me as an extra member of the Fifth Battalion?" He turned over and dismounted.
Ren Ning laughed, "Of course I don't mind, as long as Lei Er you don't regret it."
From being a personal guard in Guanlu Ping to being a personal guard in the fifth battalion, Lei Er was demoted. Fortunately, he had veteran subsidies, otherwise he would have been demoted even to the army.
Lei Er shook his head, "Of course I don't mind."
Staying with the general is safe, but most of them can only be used as mascots. Lei Er feels that he still prefers to go to the battlefield and kill.
