Chapter 185 Chang’an reignites war, champion Hou Huo Qubing!

Although the demonic tide was completely wiped out, the source of the demonic tide was from another world.

The real benefits are not that big.

In addition to the fifth-level demon ape who was adopted as a pet, the corpse of the sixth-level demon dragon was absorbed into the sealing technique by Tang Jing, becoming his second skull dragon.

The remaining level 5 demon dragon and two hill giants each contributed a level 5 crystal core.

Then there are some materials and so on.

Finally, there is a black treasure chest dropped by the sixth-level demon dragon, and three other platinum treasure chests.

Maximum profit.

On the contrary, in the process of exterminating the demonic tide, a total of more than 1.5 million killing points were obtained.

Another big investment.

After leaving Devil's Valley, Tang Jing was invited to visit the Elf Court and Ironforge. It was not until the afternoon of May 20 that he returned to Chang'an City under the escort of the Guards Brigade and the Guards Corps.

before this.

The Longxiang Army and the Tiance Army have respectively withdrawn to Pelican County and Macon County to rest and recuperate.

So far.

Except for one brigade stationed in Devil's Valley, Chang'an's army has completely withdrawn from the Beiluo Mountains.

Completely declare the war in the Beiluo Mountains to be over.

………

After settling down.

Tang Jing opened the treasure chest immediately, and the three platinum treasure chests revealed C-level talent summoning cards, spell scrolls and refractory material construction drawings.

The Black Glory Chest contains rare A-level talent summoning cards.

"sure!"

Tang Jing discovered that he seemed to have a lot of luck recently.

Choose to summon now.

"Huo Qubing!"

"Li Guang!"

"Meet the adults!"

Good guy, I was "lucky" to summon a pair of "enemies".

Huo Qubing, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty.

At the age of eighteen, he became the captain of Yao Yao. He led 800 cavalrymen deep into the desert. He won the army twice and was awarded the title of Marquis.

At the age of 20, he was promoted to General of Hussars and commanded two battles in Hexi. He annihilated and surrendered nearly 100,000 Xiongnu in Hexi. He captured the Huns and offered sacrifices to the Jinmen, and marched directly to the Qilian Mountains.

This was the first time that China occupied the Hexi Corridor, and from then on the Silk Road was opened.

In the fourth year of Yuanshou, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing led their troops deep into Mobei. In the Battle of Mobei, they wiped out more than 70,000 of the main force of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu. They pursued the Xiongnu army to Langjuxu Mountain and Guyan Mountain, where they offered sacrifices to heaven and earth.

Return to the Hanhai Sea.

This battle caused "the Xiongnu to flee far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert".

After the war, he became the Great Sima Hussar General and was in charge of military affairs with Wei Qing.

In the sixth year of Yuanshou, Huo Qubing died of illness at the age of only 24. Emperor Wu gave him the posthumous name "Jinghuan" and was buried with him in Maoling, and built his tomb in the shape of Qilian Mountain.

Another untimely death.

Huo Qubing was flexible in his military use, focused on strategies, and was not adhering to ancient methods. He was good at long-distance raids, rapid raids, large detours, large-scale insertions, and annihilation campaigns. He made significant contributions to the military expansion during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

If Lin Shu, Bai Chuan, and Yue Yun are the three heroes of Chang'an, then Huo Qubing, who is as young as the three, is the most dazzling star among the younger generation.

It can be said that it is timeless and bright today.

………

Li Guang was also a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty.

In the 14th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he joined the army to attack the Huns and was promoted to Zhonglang due to his meritorious service. During the reign of Emperor Jing, he successively served as the governor of seven counties in the northern border. Emperor Wu came to the throne and was called Weiyang Palace Guard.

In the sixth year of Yuanguang, he was appointed General of Xiaoqi and led more than 10,000 riders out of Yanmen to attack the Xiongnu. Due to the huge disparity in numbers, he was wounded and captured. The Xiongnu soldiers laid him down between two horses. Li Guang pretended to be dead and jumped up during a gap on the way.

The galloping horse returns.

Later he served as the prefect of Youbeiping County.

The Huns were so frightened that they called them "Flying Generals" and did not dare to invade for several years.

During the Battle of Mobei in the fourth year of Yuanshou, Li Guang served as a former general. He lost his way and failed to participate in the war. He committed suicide after returning to the court. Sima Qian commented that "Tao Li does not say anything, but he will make his own mistakes."

………

Let’s not mention Li Guang for now.

The arrival of the champion Hou Huo Qubing made Tang Jing's idea of ​​forming a pure cavalry regiment suddenly become eager and he could no longer restrain it.

The next morning.

Tang Jing summoned Bai Qi, the hussar general, and Du Ruhui, director of the General Administration of Military Affairs, to discuss the matter.

"this…"

Facing the Lord's "sudden whim", Du Ruhui seemed a little embarrassed.

The difficulty of forming a cavalry corps is at least three times that of forming an infantry corps, especially when there are not a large number of prisoners of war in the territory.

Building a cavalry regiment from scratch is even more difficult.

Where do the soldiers come from?

Where do war horses and weapons and equipment come from?

"That's what I'm considering. I'm going to separate the 4th Division from the Tiance Legion. Then I'll summon 30,000 Demonic Tiger Cavalry in the Wilderness Temple to form two Demonic Tiger Cavalry divisions."

"With these three heavy cavalry divisions as the basis, the structure of the cavalry corps has been established."

Tang Jing is definitely not hot-headed.

"If that's the case, then yes."

Upon seeing this, Du Ruhui followed Tang Jing's train of thought and said: "The vacant 4th Division of the Tiance Corps can be replenished in time by deploying soldiers from the local garrison."

Because the 4th Division is the only heavy cavalry division in Chang'an besides the Guards Corps.

Many military operations in the past were actually disconnected from the Tiance Army. They were said to be affiliated with the Tiance Army, but in fact they were cavalry divisions shared by all the major armies at the time.

Taking this opportunity to divest may be a solution.

"Then it's settled!"

Tang Jing immediately made the decision, "The newly formed cavalry regiment will be called the Guards Corps. Like the Guards Corps, it belongs to the Forbidden Army system. As for the current Guards Brigade, it will be renamed Jinwu Guards."

He must keep a tight grip on a cavalry regiment like the Guards Corps.

In addition to the name of the legion, the general Tang Jing has also been decided.

The position of commander of the Imperial Guard Corps naturally belongs to Huo Qubing.

The original 4th Division of the Tiance Corps was renamed the 1st Imperial Guard Division, with Yue Yun still serving as the division commander.

The two newly formed Devil Tiger Cavalry Divisions are the Second Guards Division and the Third Guards Division. The division commanders are Hu Xiao, the former Yingyang Brigade Commander, and Ma Chao, the former Xiaoqi Brigade Commander.

Hu Meng, the former commander of the Beiwei Brigade, was promoted to the position of deputy division commander of the Third Guards Division.

As for the new flying general Li Guang, he was appointed by Tang Jing as the division commander of the 4th Division of the Tiance Army, responsible for selecting soldiers from the local garrison to form a new 4th Division.

The old scalper belongs to me.

………

Discussing the formation of the Guards Corps is just a prelude to this discussion.

Tang Jing summoned Bai Qi and Du Ruhui. The most important thing was to discuss the operational deployment of Luoton County and Nash County, and to complete the strategic goal of unifying the Valley Province.

"This battle is codenamed Thunder!"

"The start time of Operation Thunder is scheduled for May 28, which is one week later."

In the next week, the General Administration of Military Affairs will assist in completing the reorganization of the 4th Division, the formation of the Guards Corps, and the rest and reorganization of the Tiance Corps, Longxiang Corps, and Guards Corps.

During this period.

The three legions of City Guards, Fengxiang and Feixiong will also completely complete the third-level infantry job transfer process.

Then there are logistics and intelligence preparations.
