Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As mentioned in the previous article, the Zhou family and Du Xiang secretly moved around frequently in the past two years, and Lao Du still took good care of Tuesday.  Because of this, Tuesday watched the military generals walk into the inner hall in front of him like a lantern, and then left with excitement after a while, while he himself sat leisurely on the chair, drinking tea.  However, when the last person walked into Du Hope's study on Tuesday, he did not see Lao Du's good expression.  Du Xixi said with a face: "When Guo Shijun came to leave Shanzhou, he selected 10,000 elite soldiers from the Shenwei Army. According to the establishment, you should have 10,000 soldiers left under your command. Tomorrow, the Japanese Governor will go to Fuqi with the other military commanders.  City, review the Shenwei Army!" Zhou looked at Lao Du, blinked his eyes hard, and almost blurted out: "Oh, Lao Du, what do you mean?" Looking at Zhou Zhou, he looked innocent and aggrieved!  With his expression on his face, Du hoped to say another sentence: "When the governor came from Chang'an, there were gossips criticizing you for taking advantage of your position to take advantage of your salary. The actual number of troops in the Shenwei Army is not 20,000!" With just this sentence, Lao Du knew on Tuesday  the meaning of.  Feelings, Du hopes that this is to lead the generals of the various armies to conduct a spot check on the Shenwei Army without saying hello!  There was no one else in the room, so Tuesday showed a worried look on his face. He calmly discussed with Lao Du and said, "Sir, can you let me go first today? There are so many generals in Fuqi City all at once, I'm afraid  My subordinates are not prepared enough, so I will neglect you when the time comes!" "No! You will go with me tomorrow!" "What if I don't take the first step?" "Well, since you dare to do it.  , why worry about others checking it?" Zhou Chengye patted his forehead and hurriedly explained: "Sir, I think you have misunderstood! Let me tell you the truth, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Fuqi City now.  Almost thirty thousand" Now it was Du Hope's turn to be surprised. He stood up suddenly, stared at the shameless young face on Tuesday, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you fool me? Why are you in Fuqi City?  "There will be so many soldiers and horses?" Tuesday scratched the back of his head sheepishly, and then replied with a "shy" look on his face: "I dare not lie to you about the extra 10,000 people."  The reserve force I prepared for the Shenwei Army. This time, after Guo Shijun took away 10,000 regular soldiers of the Shenwei Army, he added it to the Shenwei Army. " "There are 5,000 people who are the reserve force of the Baishui Army. They are now fighting in Fuqi City.  The Shenwei Army is training together. The remaining 4,000 people are foreign mercenaries recruited this year. They are non-staff soldiers." Du Xiang heard this on Tuesday.  His face turned green, and he said in disbelief: "In other words, not only did you not get paid, but you actually raised 20,000 more troops?" "Well, that's right." Tuesday continued to say sheepishly.  "You, you, you are really annoying!" Lao Du didn't even know how to scold Tuesday.  "Do you know that you are amassing troops in private! If someone impeaches you for bad intentions, your sin will be huge!" According to the situation in the Tang army at that time, it was just a small mistake to eat empty pay, because it existed in all armies.  This kind of problem, but if a large number of troops are accumulated beyond the establishment, it is a serious crime of evil intentions!  "Sir, you know the situation of the Shenwei Army best. Although the Ministry of War initially provided an establishment of 20,000 people, the Ministry of Household Affairs only provided military salaries of 10,000 people, and the military salaries of the other 10,000 people have been in arrears. In order to cope with the situation in Qinghai and Huxi  In such a complicated situation, I spent my own money to raise troops and prepare for the war. " "At the beginning, you also supported the proposal made by Guo Shijun and me to the Ministry of War to stop recruiting soldiers and replace them with long marches. I sent Lieutenant General Jia Erlong to recruit good families who had lost their land!  My son enlisted in the army, but he had only been out for more than a month, so he recruited tens of thousands of people back to me! " "I saw that these young men were honest and good men who could endure hardships, so I couldn't bear to send them back to their hometowns.  They were all recruited into the army. At that time, General Wang also knew about this, and the White Water Army was also about to expand, so he solved the problem of 15,000 people for me" On Tuesday, he did not hide the fact that he would recruit the expanded army.  All the inside information was revealed.  At first, Du Hope just didn¡¯t believe that Tuesday would be empty money, because he knew how big the Zhou family¡¯s business was now, and there was no need for Tuesday to break the law just for a small profit.  Because he didn't believe it, he came up with such a way to suddenly recruit troops to clear up Tuesday's name in front of the generals of the armies.  Now, Lao Du doesn¡¯t have to worry about the rumors about having empty pay on Tuesday, but he does have to worry about secretly gathering troops on Tuesday.  "In order to stop others' mouths, you still can't return to Fuqi City alone now! You quickly write a letter to the general who is staying in Fuqi City and appoint a trusted confidant to send it back overnight.?, let them hurry up and take out the nearly 10,000 troops from many places in Fuqi City, and hide them as far away from me as possible!  " Du Xixi is also a person who dares to take responsibility. He immediately thought that this was not a solution. "Sir, do you mean to allow 10,000 reserve troops to be converted into regular troops now?  " "As long as you keep the total strength of the Divine Power Army to no more than 20,000, everything else can be easily covered up!  In addition, the contract training between the Shenwei Army and the Whitewater Army should not be made known to too many people for the time being, especially from Tibetan spies and spies.  From today on, you and Wang Zhongsi must pretend to be infighting and enemies, and never get so close again!  ¡± Zhou Tuo thought a little depressedly, have he and Wang Zhongsi been very close to each other over the past year? Is he so brainless that he has never even thought about deceiving the Tibetan people? Under Du Hope¡¯s instruction, Tuo Zhongsi  He immediately wrote several letters, and then appointed Lei Wanchun to quickly send them back to Fuqi City and hand them over to Ge Shuhan, Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong. After receiving Tuesday's secret letter, Ge Shuhan immediately went to find Chang Jianhe.  Gan Yu asked the two of them to prepare a month's supply of food for 10,000 troops within three days. After Chang Jian and Gan Yu read Tuesday's handwritten letter, they split up to prepare for the expedition without saying a word.  After receiving the letter, Lu Dayong selected 10,000 soldiers who had been trained for a short period of time and looked slightly worse from the nearly 20,000 reserve troops in the city, issued them weapons and armor used by the regular troops of the Shenwei Army, and then concentrated them.  After receiving the letter, Jia Erlong selected 5,000 soldiers from the remaining 9,000 soldiers selected by Lu Dayong, and then handed them over to Li Guangbi, the general of the Baishui Army stationed in Fuqi City.  He immediately returned to Moli City with these five thousand troops. As for the remaining nearly four thousand soldiers, Jia Erlong ordered them to temporarily take off the military uniforms they wore during training, and then took them out of the city to support the Buha River.  There are several forts in the lower reaches. In other words, Ge Shuhan will take away the most elite 10,000 regular main force of Shenwei Army before Du hopes to bring the "General Observation Group" to Fuqi City. As for why he wants to.  It is unclear whether Chang Jian and Gan Yu would prepare enough food for them for more than a month. Most of the 10,000 soldiers Guo Yingyi took away from the Shenwei Army were infantry because the terrain of Xichuan was not suitable for a large-scale cavalry regiment.  Therefore, the 10,000 elite soldiers that Ge Shuhan took away were basically cavalry, and their mobility was absolutely beyond ordinary people's imagination. It was both reasonable and reasonable to let Lu Dayong stay in Fuqi City. After all, he was a soldier.  The deputy general of the Shenwei Army had to act in order when he was away on Tuesday. However, he deliberately selected only 10,000 soldiers with the shortest training time to show to the generals of each army. It is a bit confusing as to which general would not want him.  Can our army be so majestic and murderous in front of others? After such arrangements, there are now only 10,000 troops in Fuqi City, which fully meets the requirements and standards of all parties. Three days later, under the escort of the armies along the way,  Du Hope took seven or eight generals to the Suirong City of the Shanzhou Dudu Mansion. The so-called Xingyuan City was a bit like the former enemy headquarters in later generations. The Suirong Army was originally the base camp where the Suirong Army was stationed.  His Majesty the Emperor personally conferred the name Shenweijun, and the base camp was moved to Fuqi City, while Suirong City was snatched from the hands of the former governor Guo Yingyi on Tuesday. The generals stopped for a while in Suirong City and carefully visited the entire city.  Everyone was deeply inspired by the defensive fortifications, especially the various displays in the governor's palace. Even Du Xiang, who had always been unsmiling, nodded with satisfaction after seeing his own palace. On Tuesday, he looked at it with a depressed expression.  Looking at everyone, they kept muttering in their hearts: "I spent all this money on it the year before last!"  " After visiting Suirong City, thousands of troops escorted the senior generals of the "Observation Group" and continued westward, heading straight to Fuqi City hundreds of miles away. "Before, the area around Qinghai Lake was controlled by the Tubo people  , so the population is sparse, and only some nomadic tribes of Tubo are active. Now, the entire Qinghai Lake has been completely protected by the Tang Army. Because the Shenwei Army and the Baishui Army firmly control the eastward and northward passage of the Tibetan people, the north shore of Qinghai Lake.  The number of Han people gradually increased. Looking at the Shanzhou Han herdsmen grazing not far away, and the occasional cultivated fields, Du Hope sighed and said: "Who said that the West Sea is not suitable for human habitation.  A deserted place?  Not to mention that this is a natural and excellent pasture, as long as the people are willing to endure hardships, they can still cultivate thousands of hectares of fields!  " Zhou Chengye, as the main accompanying general, said: "What the governor said is absolutely true!  The area around Qinghai Lake is not only extremely important to our country, but alsoIts strategic position, as well as its rare pastures, orchards and farms, must not fall into the hands of the Tibetans!  " After hearing the conversation between the two, the other generals stopped one after another and looked carefully into the distance, seeming to be touched. A few days later, the generals safely crossed the Buha River and finally arrived at the important border town of Fuqi City.  .
