Chapter 3: The road to Fuyao (Eight Lower Levels) is taken step by step, and soldiers are trained bit by bit. Whether you are envious of Li Yuan's good luck or jealous of Luo Yi's insidiousness, the problems faced by the six counties of Boling,
The six counties still need to solve it themselves.
Li Xu was not sure about how to face the Tiger and Ben cavalry, but fortunately, the decisive battle would not start immediately. He still had a little preparation time. The strategy was to use battle instead of training, and through small-scale conflicts, train for the future war.
qualified soldiers
After carefully thinking about the current predicament, Xuzi made a bold decision, "It's not an option to wait like this. We can only train while fighting! Anyway, there haven't been many things going on in the counties recently. Starting from tomorrow, Xuba, you will lead
All the cavalry of the Boling Army go to Zhuo County to patrol the border!"
"Follow your orders!" Wang Xuba was stunned for a moment, and then responded in a long voice (17k Literature Network buys out works, please do not plagiarize them) "I'm afraid that will cause uneasiness to surrounding forces!" Shi Defang frowned.
Frowning, he reminded loudly that he did not recommend that Boling's army show strength prematurely and keep a low profile. To a certain extent, this is the foreign policy that Boling must pursue at the moment. Whoever becomes the king and who dominates outside the six counties, Boling does not need to care about.
There is no need to mobilize troops to suffer some small losses for the time being. As long as the city walls are built high enough, food is stored enough, and soldiers are trained to sufficient quantity and quality, all grievances will be redressed one day.
"That method is useless against Luo Yi and Zhuhu in Saishang! Saishang is a place that values strength. If you want to stand firm, you have to be strong!" This time, Li Xu did not adopt Shi De's suggestion.
Life experience allows him to understand the living habits of nomads better than anyone else, and he also knows better how to survive among wolves. "Two-thirds of the cavalry in our hands are new recruits, which are incomparable to the Boling Jingqi back then."
If you want them to become combat effective as soon as possible, you must first pull them out to train your opponents. From this perspective, we have to thank Luo Yi!"
"Yes, it's a mule or a horse. Let's take it out for a walk first!" Zhang Jiang was very satisfied with Li Xu's decision and continued what he said with a smile.
When the old general Zhang Xutuo was in Qi County, he also trained while fighting. Through actual combat, he eliminated the weak and retained the veterans of hundreds of battles, and finally achieved the prestige of the children of Qi County. The current conditions of the six counties of Boling are the same as those of Qi County back then.
It's not quite the same, but in terms of material supply, it's a hundred times better than Qi County back then.
"Take Fang Changshi and wipe out the thieves wherever they come from!" Li Xu nodded and continued to look directly at Wang Xuba. "Our brothers, as you said, mainly use light cavalry in terms of defense."
, no matter how we pursue the Boling Army, we can't catch up with the Tiger and Ben Iron Cavalry built with the entire Sui Dynasty. So, let's make a fuss about speed and fight quickly to see if the whereabouts of those fake horse thieves are erratic. Are they still my descendants of Zhuojun?
His bow and horse are skillful!"
"My subordinates swear to live up to their orders!" In the midst of envious eyes, Wang Xuba stood with his fists clasped. As a latecomer who joined the Boling Army less than two years ago, it was definitely an honor to be sent out to take charge of his own affairs. Wang Xuba did not dare to let down Li Xu.
trust, and vowed in my heart to bring an iron-clad army to the other party.
"I will divide the Guards Battalion into half and go with you. There are some veterans who have been with me in Qi County and can help you train soldiers. There are also some local wealthy people who have been recruited into the army to fish out young people. You can just let them be soldiers.
Let’s do it!” Li Xu thought for a moment and then continued to add
Wang Xuba was not completely willing to accept this order. The veterans of the Guards Battalion were the treasures of the entire Boling Army. Their many years of military service allowed each of them to accumulate enough war experience to serve as low-level officers, which would definitely help the entire army.
The combat effectiveness of the cavalry has increased, but the new recruits in the Guards Battalion are all a group of pampered young masters around Li Xu. They dare not act recklessly after leaving Li Xu's shadow. They will definitely show their claws and claws. However, when beating a dog, it still depends on the owner.
These guys who made mistakes, their bosses are really difficult to deal with (17k Literature Network buys out the works, please do not plagiarize them) Thinking of the gains and losses, Wang Xuba scratched the back of his neck and said sarcastically: "I'm afraid some people can't eat it.
After all, the climate in Zhuo County is much colder than here. If we get involved with horse thieves, it is common to run for ten and a half days in the wind and snow. The veterans under the Marshal and I are used to hardship, but the new recruits are thin and tender.
Meaty…”
"You're training soldiers, you will become thick-skinned and thick-skinned after training! If you are disobedient, you can treat them to military sticks. If you really can't kill them, send them home. Anyway, he himself has no face, so don't blame us for not making any achievements for him.
Opportunity." Li Xu smiled and gave Wang Xuba a reassurance.
He didn't think that young master soldiers would be difficult to discipline. Back then, in the food protection team, almost everyone had a little backer behind him. But looking at the entire Liaodong battle, the performance of the food protection team was enough to make some veterans who had experienced many battles
Shame that no matter a person's background is good or bad, it is not the factor that determines whether he becomes a hero or a coward. What really determines his fate is his own behavior.
Wang Xuba laughed and said, "I am relieved by the words of the general. If anyone tries to stage a show for me, I guarantee that he will regret it in his guts!"
"Don't take it lightly. If your cavalry can't take action before next summer, I will make you regret it!" Li Xu smiled and punched Wang Xu, causing him to stagger.
After arranging the defense of Zhuojun and the training of cavalry, he focused on the construction of various places under his rule. In addition to showing weakness, the German side also proposed strengthening city defense and hoarding large amounts of grain and grass.
The suggestion still has merit. When the current situation is still unclear, every hero who spies on others is also spied on by others. Therefore, no hero dares to let the troops in his hands suffer too much damage. If six
If a county can accumulate enough war potential, those who have its ideas will be more scrupulous.
"I have started to renovate the cities of Xindu and Zhaojun in the autumn!" Zhao Ziming thought for a while and reported in a low voice, "There is a Hutuo River outside Boling, so the city wall is not in a hurry to repair!" He hesitated for a moment.
, trying not to look at Li Xu's face, "The checkpoints on Zanhuang Mountain and Baodu Mountain are in disrepair, and my subordinates suggest that they be rebuilt after the spring!"
The latter two villages are stuck on the only road from Hedong to Hebei, so there is no need for Zhao Ziming to remind him more clearly. Li Xu also knew what he meant. "Repair the city walls in Jingxing and Hengshan areas," he sighed softly.
He took a breath and gave a clear answer.
Xu Zi was not sure how long the alliance with the Li family in Hedong could last. The Taiyuan soldiers who suddenly rushed into the capital area with overwhelming force made everyone wary. If the Li family could really conquer the world, how would the six counties of Boling arrange themselves and the Li family?
What about his relationship? A few months ago, it was too early to think about all these issues, but now, they are facing him with more and more urgency.
Thinking of this, he added another task to Zhao Ziming, "After the beginning of spring, you also dispatch some supplies to Huairong, and let them build a camp there for me. If Luo Yi comes to hunt in person, I, the general manager, can't
Too slow, distant visitor!”
'If there really is a fight with Taiyuan in the future, maybe Zhuojun will become the rear area supporting the front line!' Xuzi thought in his heart, but tried not to let everyone see what he was thinking. He didn't want that kind of thing.
It happened because Li Yuan was once kind to him, but when it came to his kindness, Yang Guang was even more kind to him. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he was now a die-hard ally of the team that attacked the capital.
For many things, it is no longer a matter of whether he thinks about it or not. To a large extent, people are pushed forward by the times. The saying that times make heroes may not necessarily be the case. It is said that some people can foresight and look five hundred years in advance.
Looking back five hundred years later, Xuzi didn't know whether it was true, but he understood that that kind of person was definitely not him.
At the end of the busy day, Li Xu felt exhausted. Being the general manager of six counties was already so tiring. He wondered why so many people liked to govern the country. Unless those who became emperors would learn from His Majesty and close their eyes to the outside world.
If he doesn't pay attention to the things around him, he will definitely be more exhausted and feel more powerless. "I think your Majesty also worked hard to be stronger when he first came to the throne!" A slightly sad thought suddenly came to his mind, but in the blink of an eye,
, was replaced by a sickly face with uncontrollable joy and anger.
He didn't know how Yang Guang was doing now, but suddenly he found that he understood Yang Guang's seemingly unusual character. He must be an emperor. He needs a very strong mind to tell lies to the people closest to him and not care about himself.
Your benefactors, family members, friends, and former subordinates will always raise the steel knife in your hands whenever the other party blocks your way.
In a recently widely circulated statement from the Wagang Army, Yang Guang killed his brother, poisoned his sick father, raped his stepmother and sister and forced him to death.
My younger brother, cousin, nephew, cousin and nephew...
After counting Yang Guang’s ten major crimes, Li Mi’s military recorder, Jun Yanxiu, concluded in his article: If you exhaust the bamboos in the Southern Mountains, you will not be exhausted by writing; if you conquer the waves of the East China Sea, it will be difficult to eliminate the poison!
Xuzi didn't know whether the various crimes listed in the confession were true, but he knew clearly that when he returned to the bedroom today, he would face his wife named Li.
That was the daughter of Tang Gong Li Yuan, and he had just ordered Zhao Ziming to strengthen defenses against Hedong during the day!
