- Chapter 366 Deja Vu
Zhuo Buyi sat down on the chair and poured himself a cup of herbal tea. After taking a sip, he continued: "The rebels should have released the news. Now all the northern roads, including Gyeonggi Road, know about the defeat in the northwest. This prompted Your Majesty to have to Make a decision immediately. The news from the Ouchi Guards is that your Majesty has issued an order to declare the defeat of the Northwest Army, to make Li Yuanshan's rebellion known to the public, and to recruit brave people."
"Recruiting brave people?"
Fang Jie was startled. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't imagine what was wrong.
"Recruiting civilian bravery is the fastest way. Although the Sui Dynasty has sufficient troops, it is difficult to mobilize all the guards and soldiers on one side. Even if they are mobilized, it will take too long for the troops from all over the country to reach the northwest It's just The Ministry of War is busy enough. It is necessary to count the number of soldiers and horses mobilized. Don't underestimate this sentence. You can imagine how many people need to travel back and forth between various departments to calculate a number. By the time the number is compiled, it will be at least a few. It will take a year. Without this number, it would be impossible to mobilize supplies. This is not the first Western Expedition. At that time, the national treasury was full"
Fang Jie rubbed his brows: "I never thought about it so much before. I always felt that going to war was just a matter of His Majesty's word."
"That's right. The war is indeed a matter of His Majesty's words. But it takes more than a day or two from His Majesty's words to putting them into action. But recruiting civilian warriors is different. Now it's just a matter of There are already more than 300,000 young people from good families in Gyeonggi Province who have signed up to join the army. At this rate, it would be easy for the northern provinces to recruit millions of people. Moreover, they would provide their own weapons, armor, uniforms and horses, and the consumption of the remaining money from the national treasury would be reduced to a minimum. As military pay, it is also good for the morale of the people."
Fang Jie still felt a little uneasy, and some ominous things in his vague memory seemed to be gradually consistent with the current situation of Sui Dynasty. But for a moment he couldn't think of anything ominous, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"In terms of combat power, the bravery of the people is far inferior to that of the soldiers, even the county soldiers."
"The people in the Ministry of War thought of this earlier than you thought."
Zhuo Buyi said: "According to the plan, all civilian warriors are organized into one battalion of 10,000 people. Veterans will be selected from the ranks and above. The battalions formed first will be trained first. It will take at least two or three months to wait for the number of soldiers and horses to be sufficient. This The Mingyong who were formed in advance have been training for a while, and they can almost master the basic formations. It doesn't matter if they don't have training. They will go to the northwest first, and they will definitely need to train before the war. "
"And the first battle will definitely not involve the bravery of the people, but the soldiers will be used as vanguard."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Even if there is training, the biggest problem is not this, but the emotions of the soldiers People join the army because they are full of anger. They hate the traitors. But once they see blood on the battlefield, It¡¯s unclear how much of that ambition was frightened away by fear. How many people vowed to go into battle to kill the enemy, but were so frightened that they peed their pants when they saw the mutilated corpses on the battlefield?¡±
Zhuo Buyi said: "So at the beginning, the soldiers must start the war, and then the generals leading the troops will lead the civilians to watch the battle. Let them experience the atmosphere of several battles You are too pessimistic. Is it the first time the soldiers go to the battlefield? Aren't you afraid? When the army went south to destroy the Shang Dynasty, how many people were so scared that they peed their pants on the battlefield? After many experiences, these soldiers who were so scared that they peed their pants later became elites in all battles!
"To put it bluntly, we want them to kill people. If they kill a lot, they will be qualified soldiers. Soldiers are the most dangerous weapons in the world. How can they be considered evil if they don't kill people?"
When he heard this, Fang Jie was suddenly stunned: "What I am most worried about is what you said When the recruits arrive on the battlefield, there will be so many cheap battles for them to fight. At that time, in order to let the recruits experience The atmosphere of the war allows them to adapt to fighting on the battlefield. The most direct way for the leader is to let them kill people, but who can the recruits kill? "
Fang Jie sighed: "People, prisoners"
Zhuo Buyi smiled: "You are just too pessimistic and always look at the bad side of everything. Among the generals in the imperial court who have led troops for many years, which one does not know how to lead troops better than you?"
Fang Jie thought for a moment that this was true, and then smiled: "Aren't you worried about any difficulties encountered in this Western Expedition? By the way, does Your Majesty really want to do it himself?"
"Seems to be"
Zhuo Buyi said: "The news from the capital said that His Majesty had announced his intention to conquer the country in person when he went to court a while ago. However, the civil and military officials of the whole court seemed to be trying their best to dissuade the emperor from leaving the capital. This is not a trivial matter. But it seems that His Majesty is. Very determined, no one can stop it.¡±
"When Your Majesty leaves the capital, won't all the Emperor's six armies accompany you?"
Fang explained the question.
"Definitely."
"Who will come to guard Chang'an?"
?"Your Majesty seems to want to let the prince supervise the country and name a few people as auxiliary ministers. In fact, to put it bluntly, the queen will listen to the government behind the curtain. Among the auxiliary ministers is General Zuo Zhenwei Yang Shunhui, who is also from the royal family. Zuo Zhen The guards followed His Majesty out of the capital, but troops from Gyeonggi Province, Jizhou, Bazhou, Yanzhou and other places have been mobilized to Chang'an. Together with the imperial army and the Chang'an city defense army, there will still be no shortage of troops to guard Chang'an. Yu 200,000. Yang Shunhui is a master of military arts. Your Majesty relied heavily on him when he suppressed Prince Yi's rebellion. I think your Majesty wanted him to stay in Chang'an at that time. "
Fang Jie shook his head: "The prince is young. No matter what, the emperor should not go out to the capital to fight in person."
"I can't persuade you."
Zhuo Buyi sighed: "Your Majesty sees the death of 700,000 troops in the northwest as a great shame and humiliation. If you don't personally lead the troops to wipe out the rebels, how can your Majesty bear this tone?"
"Who else is the assistant minister?"
"There are three more, Huangmen Shilang Pei Yan, the new Minister of War Zong Lianghu, and Wenyuan Pavilion scholar Niu Huilun."
"Only Yang Shun will be related to the royal family"
Fang Jie frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how much the emperor's distrust of his relatives had reached. There are still several county princes in Chang'an City, and it is time to use these people. But the emperor would rather use courtiers than relatives Zong Lianghu got up so quickly. Is such an official really easy to use?
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie can't worry about anything over there in Chang'an City. He can't even figure out the direction of his own affairs now. Although the emperor was paranoid, he was not crazy. Fang Jie believed that he would arrange everything well before leaving the capital. On his side, his life experience has already made him anxious.
Who knows when that Shiyuan Tianzun in the dark will appear?
And with all the strength on his side, I¡¯m afraid he wouldn¡¯t be able to kill him if I put them all together.
But at this time, we must find a way to kill this scourge.
Fang Jie, Zhuo Buyi and others discussed for two days and still couldn't come up with a good solution. The key was that Shi Yuan was hiding in the dark and would not be found if he didn't come out by himself. If you want to set up a trap to kill him, you can't decide where to set the trap. On the third day after Luo Yao instructed Fang Xie to practice, Ye Jinnan came to visit again.
"The general invites Lord Xiaofang to review the troops together."
"Military parade?"
Fang Jie frowned and asked, "Why the military parade?"
Ye Jinnan slightly raised his chin and said proudly: "The general has written to the court to request war. In the next two days, the general will summon all the left avant-garde generals of rank 5 or above and announce the Northern Expedition. Now the soldiers are gearing up. We only need to wait for the order from the court to march north. The general wants to invite Mr. Xiaofang to join the military parade. It will also be good for the imperial envoy to accompany the army. "
Hearing these words, Fang Jie suddenly woke up.
¡°I still underestimated Luo Yao, and I was still too naive.
Luo Yao showed himself the memorial he wrote a few days ago, asking him to take the initiative to fight. It was at that moment that Fang Jie began to believe that Luo Yao had no objection to the court, but that he had been in a high position for too long and would inevitably be domineering and jealous. But at this moment, Fang Jie woke up.
Luo Yao must have received the news that the emperor wanted to mobilize the left avant-garde to go on an expedition a few days earlier than he did, so he pretended to write a memorial and take the initiative to fight. A few days after he let himself read the memorial, Zhuo Buyi also received news from the Ouchi Guards Office. My mind was in chaos at the time, and I didn't react for a while.
Someone in the capital has information about Luo Yaotong, and it seems that he is still a very important figure. Otherwise, Luo Yao would not have been able to get the news faster than the way the Ouchi Guards delivered it. Before the people in the Ouchi Guards Office knew about the emperor's decision, the person who sent Luo Yao the news already knew about it.
A general with an army of 400,000 dominates the country. There were also important people in the court who were connected with him Fang Jie felt a chill in his heart.
"Well, let me clean up and go immediately."
"good"
Ye Jinnan cupped his fists and said, "I'll be waiting outside the door."
Fang Jie went back to the room and changed into formal clothes, and then asked Shen Qingshan and Mu Xiaoyao to go shopping to find a way to connect with Da Quan and the others. Let them be prepared. If they really want to go north with the army, the twelve of them must return to Fang Jie. In the midst of a large army, the role of twelve people outside is far less important than being around them.
With only Yan Kuang and Chen Xiaoru, Fang Jie followed Ye Jinnan on horseback and headed directly towards the school grounds in the city. The red horse I took with me when I went south has been blessed a lot these days, but it looks quite bloated and clumsy. After not riding for a while, even Fang Jie felt a little rusty.
Fortunately, the foundation of the red horse is still there, and it can run quickly.?Apparently strenuous.
It¡¯s just those people on the left wing under Ye Jinnan who couldn¡¯t help but snicker when they saw Fang Jie¡¯s amazingly fat horse.
When Fang Jie got on the horse, he patted the red horse's neck and whispered in its ear: "Let them be jealous of you. Even if you are as fat as Ronaldo, you can still run faster than their horse."
The red horse snorted as if it knew who Ronaldo was.
But even Fang Jie himself feels a little awkward. The red horse is indeed too fat now. Especially when viewed from the back, when walking, the huge and plump horse butt twists and turns in a very charming way. But when Fang Jie thought that the red horse was Hanqi from the Northern Liao region, there must be nothing good to eat and drink in his hometown. After arriving in the imperial capital, as his status rose, so did its treatment.
But after eating so hard, he lay down like a hen. It would be strange not to gain weight.
The school ground of Zuo Qianwei is in the north of Yongzhou City, with a huge area next to the city wall on one side. The troops in the city were the elite of the left vanguard, just like Luo Yao's personal soldiers. In addition to the men and horses in the city, the army on the left vanguard was divided into two groups. A group was stationed two hundred miles south of Yongzhou, frightening Nanyan from afar. Another group of 170,000 to 80,000 people were stationed on the front line of southern Xinjiang, and they attacked the barbarians from time to time.
There are 36,000 soldiers in Yongzhou City, which is the standard troop configuration of a guard. These 36,000 people were selected from the 400,000-strong army of the left avant-garde!
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Jie felt the solemn and solemn atmosphere.
The two big flags are constantly swaying with the wind, which is eye-catching.
On one side is the dragon flag of the Sui Dynasty. A lifelike five-clawed golden dragon is embroidered on the red battle flag. Above the golden dragon is a huge Sui character. The big flag on the other side has no pattern and only has seven simple characters. In the center is a Luo character, and next to it are six small vertical characters, "General of the Left Front Guard".
When Fang Jie walked in here, he suddenly had an illusion.
He always felt that the neatly lined up black-armored army on the school field, and the golden-armored general standing on the general stage facing the wind, seemed familiar to him, as if he had seen them somewhere. - Didn't finish reading?
