Chapter 207 Two Armies and Four Schools

"Oh? Which four schools?"

"Jue Qi, Hu Qi, Chang Shui, Shoot Sound."

Among the four schools, Huqi and Changshui are composed of surrendered Huns and other foreign races, and Yueqi is light cavalry, who are brave and good at fighting, and are excellent in equestrian and archery.

And the sound of shooting can be known just by looking at the name.

The four schools that Huo Tan did not mention were the four schools of middle base, garrison cavalry, infantry, and chariot soldiers.

The middle base controls the base gate of the Northern Army and is the head of the eight lieutenants.

Tuen cavalry masters knights, that is, heavy cavalry.

At this time, the heavy cavalry is called knight, and the light cavalry is called Yueqi.

Although they are light and heavy cavalry, they are considered the top army of this era, but they are incomparable with Huben Yulin.

The Qingqi of Huben Yulin is considered the acme of the cold weapon era.

As for the tiger and ben heavy cavalry, it is an armored cavalry, fighting giant beasts, it is simply incomparable.

As for the infantry school, all infantrymen are in charge of the garden gate of Shanglinyuan.

The last chariot soldiers are in charge of light chariots, that is, chariots.

The Eighth School of the Northern Army, each with 700 soldiers, is in charge of the school lieutenant, with a rank and salary of [-] shi. There are Cheng and Sima under his command.

Soldiers plus reservists, officers, and military judges add up to about 800 to [-] people in a school.

On August 64, 6000, there were only about [-] people in the Eighth School of the Northern Army, which was very rare compared with the entire Han Dynasty.

But they are the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, the most direct soldiers and horses of the Northern Army, and they are the backbone.

Once there is a war, follow them all the way to the war zone, and summon soldiers from Sanfu, Guanzhong, and Beidi to join them.

When they reach the battlefield, it will be easy to multiply 30 to 60 or [-] to [-], and they can easily control it.

And these Northern Army officers, coupled with the military literacy of the children in Guanzhong, and the bravery of the children in the frontiers such as the North, this 60 army is an elite division.

They are all fought step by step, and they are the sharpest swords of the big man.

It is easy for a big man to gather 60 elite troops, and a million is fine, but it is not so easy to let this 60 army fight for several months.

And the eight schools of the Northern Army will also compare with each other.

Among the eight schools, Yueqi and Huqi are the two most elite schools, and their overall combat effectiveness is higher than the others.

And Changshui is also the cavalry of the Huns and other Huns, and their combat effectiveness is not much different. The Western Regions are just right for them to gallop.

Although the overall strength of Shesheng is not as good as these three schools, but thinking about their characteristics, this is a group of snipers, coupled with the magic arm crossbow, tsk tsk!
When they are all equipped with the equipment of Habayashi and Huben, although the overall quality is not as good as that of Habayashi and Huben, it is not much worse.

However, their lethality is definitely much higher than Habayashi Huben.

This is because Liu Che has spread this method of training soldiers ever since Yulin Huben first achieved results.

Although the whole big man is just simple training, that is, queues and other things, the methods of the Northern Army and Habayashi Huben are exactly the same.

Although they have been training for less than a year, their strength has definitely increased.

The reason why the lethality is higher than that of Habayashi Huben is because they are all soldiers who rushed out of blood and fire again and again.

Moreover, Huo Shan would be very comfortable using them.

As for the remaining four schools not being selected, one reason is that they are almost the same. The combined number of the two military and four schools is close to [-], and it will be more than [-].

And for a Western Region, it is not worthwhile to use a big man to surpass ten thousand of the most elite soldiers.

And they are not suitable, the middle base, infantry, and chariot soldiers are not suitable for going to the Western Regions, and the only suitable cavalry, with the tiger and cardinal heavy cavalry, who would look at the cavalry!

A Western Region, with thousands of armored and heavy cavalry, is enough, and it would be a burden to slow them down.

Huo Shan couldn't help sighing. In his opinion, taking them to the Qiang people this time is a trip for military training.

Although they have adopted the method of training soldiers in the forest and tigers, they have only trained military qualities such as discipline, literacy, and military law.

They haven't learned other weapons and armor and tactics.

And even without Huo Shan, they would not be able to use the Habayashi tiger belt that Huo Shan pulled out with his hands.

Although Huo Shan didn't care much about Huben, Huben was next door to Yubayashi, what did Yubayashi do, what did Huben do, what did Yubayashi learn, what did Huben learn, so, what's the difference?

Moreover, the use of weapons, armor and tactics complement each other. Without these equipments beyond several eras, even if they use tactics, they will not be able to exert their maximum power.

And the most important thing is Huo Shan, without Huo Shan's leadership, even Yulin Huben would be the same, unable to exert its greatest power.

Huo Shan brought them along, paving the way for the future war against the Huns.

The destruction of the Xiongnu is such a big deal that it must use the best soldiers and horses, so after returning from the Battle of the Western Regions, you can start large-scale military training.

Moreover, the entire Han Dynasty had to participate in the battle to destroy the Huns, and Huo Shan must have been the leader.

When you start a war, you only use your own soldiers and horses to figure out what to do.

So is paving the way.

.........

After listening to Huo Shan's words, Liu Che waved his hand directly:
"What soldiers and horses do you want to bring, and how to arrange them, you can handle it yourself, and if you have any questions, you can go to your uncle and grandfather and the Dasinongguan Yamen.

If there is anything that needs to be dealt with, you can arrange it yourself. The term "junhou" is not called for nothing. "

The meaning of Liu Che's words was to remind Huo Shan how much power Junhou had, and also to remind him how much responsibility he had.

For ordinary people, there is only one possibility for Liu Che to say this, and that is that he is dissatisfied with this person and is beating him.

But for Huo Shan, it was also because of dissatisfaction, but it was another kind of dissatisfaction.

He was reminding Huo Shan not to be so lazy, but to do more.

It is also reminding him that you have this right, don't let it go.

While talking about Liu Che, he got up and said no matter what, he believed that Huo Shan would take care of everything.

So he stood up, walked off the stage, shook his sleeves and walked out the door with his hands behind his back:

"gone."

Everyone hurriedly followed them all the way to the gate of the mansion. Liu Che looked at the eating and drinking people with a smile and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he got into the chariot and went to the palace.

"I will send you to Your Majesty."

Liu Che left without eating, and he also knew that others would restrain him if he stayed here, and if he was restrained, he would not be able to liven up the excitement.

So he left happily, otherwise he really wanted to watch the people eating and drinking here.

What he ate was the tribute sheep of the Huns, and it was a kind of enjoyment for him to watch the people gobble up.

After Liu Che left, several people returned to the main hall, and Huo Shan greeted them to start the banquet.

Several people also sat in their original positions, and the upper position was left vacant.

Although Huo Shan is the host, but a grandfather and uncle are sitting below, how do you ask him to sit up?
After the dishes were served, the few of them didn't speak. They ate the dishes and satiated their stomachs, while calming down their ups and downs in less than two hours.

Wei Qing and Gongsun He were fine, they had already gotten used to it, and Huo Shan at the family banquet was even more presumptuous than this.

But the words of rebellion still scare them a lot.

As for the other three, it was so simple, they almost lost their courage.

After everyone was silent for a while, Du Zhou, who was sitting under Wei Qing, looked at a few people and asked:
"Your Majesty, what should we do with those criminal evidences?"

Huo Shan ignored him, he was thinking about something, he thought Du Zhou was calling Wei Qing.

It wasn't until Gongsun He knocked on his table and looked up that Huo Shan saw that Du Zhou was looking at him, so Huo Shan muttered:

"Ask Your Majesty, what am I doing!"

"Your Majesty has handed over this matter to the Lord and Marquis."

Huo Shan curled his lips, he was still thinking of taking advantage of this moment and throwing this matter back, it was a waste of time.

But thinking about it, it's right, apart from Huo Shan, there is no one in the whole big man who can do this.

It is impossible for Liu Che to do it himself, and neither can Wei Qing. He is basically the cornerstone of the big man's country now.

Others don't have this prestige, they don't have this ability.

If an inadvertent cause turmoil, then the matter will be serious.

Therefore, Huo Shan could only do it.

Huo Shan sighed and thought for a while and said:
"Pull it into the mansion, ask Huo Ping to arrange a warehouse for storage."

You can't pull it back. Once you pull it back, anyone can guess the problem.

Now that he was taken back to the mansion, it could still be regarded as a congratulatory gift, but Liu Che didn't bring anything with him this time.

"promise."

Huo Shan fiddled with the sliced ​​meat on the plate, then turned to look at Xu Ziwei:
"Old Xu."

"The end is here."

Xu Ziwei sat behind the desk and cupped his hands. As soon as the matter was settled, he had already changed his address.

But Huo Shan doesn't care, it's a matter of calling early and late.

"Follow me to the Northern Army tomorrow, and then you need to take the soldiers and horses to Shaofu's workshop to collect weapons and armor. The other three schools should be equal to Habayashi.

The equipment on the Shesheng side should be the same as that of the Yulin scouts. I will let Wang Wei go with you. After receiving it, I will take it to the Yulin camp to stay first. "

"The last general takes orders."

Weapons, armour, and various equipment are not a problem. The Shaofu has never stopped building these things, and it is more than enough to equip more than 3000 people from the four schools.

The only problem is the god arm crossbow, but this is only a small problem.

Six thousand three hundred god arm crossbows, three hundred more than before, obviously not enough.

We can only transfer the three thousand from Habayashi to the Fourth School of the Beijun Army. We only need to replace the parts with the number of Habayashi.

Let Xu Ziwei take them to pick up the weapons and armor in person, instead of letting the Shaofu send them here, just for convenience.

With half a month's time, this part of the replacement parts is enough for them to build.

Parts with engraved numbers are usually less important parts, and they are not so troublesome to build.

As for the northern army occupying Habayashi's crossbow, what about Habayashi?
What else can I do, build it slowly!

Huo Shan went to Longxi this time, and he didn't plan to take them with him, they would only appear in the battle of the Western Regions.

It is not until the end of August now, and there are still five or six months left. Even if the time spent on the road is counted, it will still be four or five months, which is enough for the Shaofu to build.

The speed of building the first batch is relatively slow, but once you get used to it, relying on the assembly line workshop that has been inherited from the Great Qin Dynasty, it can be built very quickly.

.........

"Zihou, are you going to take the two hundred feathers with you?"

Huo Shan shook his head when he heard Wei Qing's question:
"I'm not going to take them, let them go home and have a good rest after half a month!
Wait until next year my uncle and grandfather help me gather together, and let Li Ling and Su Xian bring them to Hexi to find me. "

Wei Qing showed surprise:

"Aren't you going to take Li and Su with you? They are in Chang'an."

Huo Tan smiled and shook his head:

"If you don't plan to bring them, just let them come later, the same goes for Fu Yu and Zhao Guan, this time we will only bring a few old people.

Cao Zong, Li Guangli, Uncle Gongsun, and the three cousins ​​must be brought along, and the three documents must be brought, and Zhao Chongguo and Shangguan Jie are enough to go to Longxi.

However, I am going to bring a few newcomers this time. "

Originally, Huo Shan planned not to even bring Gongsun Jingsheng, the reason was naturally because of Gongsun He.

Historically, Shi Qing died in February of the following year, but judging by his current state, he might not be able to survive the New Year's Eve.

And once Shi Qing passed away, Gongsun He would take over, and Gongsun Jingsheng would definitely be a servant. There would be no accidents in this matter.

In history, he had no military merits, and he became a servant. With military merits in this life, it will only be more logical for his son to inherit his father's career.

And after Shi Qing's death, Gongsun He must be the prime minister.

Liu Che's prime minister doesn't have much power, so who should he be?

Although Huo Shan hasn't come here yet to find out Liu Che's tone, he will definitely be Gongsun He, his own person.

Looking at the court, he is the only one who is more suitable, and he is still his own.

Although the prime minister does not have much power now, he is still an extremely human minister, and only Huo Shan looks down on him.

When Huo Shan said Gongsun Jingsheng, Gongsun He really smiled.

Huo Shan finally decided to take him with him because this might be his last chance in the battlefield.

When he became a servant, it is not the same era as before. His father can lead a servant as a general, but he can't.

If someone is fighting in front, someone will naturally be responsible for logistics.

To destroy the Xiongnu, all the big men have to move, and he can feel better about the horses alone.

.........

"Newcomer? Who are you going to bring?"

"My uncle, Sima Qian."

Wei Qing just nodded, Huo Shan's soldiers are strong and powerful, and there is no shortage of talents under his command, so he will not interfere in this kind of matter, he is just curious, so he asked.

But after thinking about it in his heart, he can understand that Huo Shan brought Huo Guang.

Huo Qubing brought Huo Guang to Chang'an and brought him with him in order to train him from a young age and let him be a leading general in the future.

Although Huo Guang is not as evil as Huo Huo in military affairs, he is also very talented.

But because Huo Shan inherited Huo Qubing's behest, this can be regarded as a little dispensable last wish of Huo Qubing.

Therefore, Wei Qing also agrees in his heart, even if it is just writing, if he has military merits as a foundation on the battlefield, his journey will be much better.

As for Sima Qian's Taishi Ling, Wei Qing only played well with Huo Shan at that time, so he helped him.

In fact, there were two reasons for Huo Shan to lead Sima Qian.

The first one is to satisfy his desire to go to the battlefield.

The second is to let him see with his own eyes what the battlefield is like, how much damage will be caused if he gets lost, and how much damage will be done to himself and his teammates.
