Chapter 320 19 Soldiers and Horses (4K)

Huo Shan and Liu Ju found Zhong Gan who was sweating profusely. Huo Shan looked at him and hesitated for a moment before asking:
"How's the situation?"

Zhong Gan bowed to Huo Shan and Liu Ju with a bitter face:
"Going back to the governor, there are too many people. Not only people, but also horses, cattle and sheep can hardly stand up. If no changes are made, the daily feeding may not be finished all day long."

Huo Shan also made a bitter face, spread his hands and said:

"There is no way. After two more days, I will re-divide the soldiers and horses tonight. When we walk, the problem will be much easier."

Zhong Gan nodded, Huo Shan waved his hand:
"carry on."

The two walked around again, and Huo Shan saw Sun Shang who was also busy and kept his feet on the ground, and called him over.

"Captain."

"You go and find Zhang Anshi for me, and by the way, inform our generals, as well as King Youguli and his generals, to gather at dusk. I want to talk about the division of troops and horses and the surrender tomorrow."

"The last general takes orders!"

After Sun Shang took the order, he turned around and ran away. Huo Shan watched him run around looking everywhere, Huo Shan could not help but hold his forehead, and then angrily told the soldiers around him:
"When a person has to be found, go, tell him, let the soldiers find it, and ask the scouts."

"promise."

After a while, Zhang Anshi was found.

"Captain."

"Well, how's the statistics going?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi is also full of helplessness:
"Returning to the governor, our army's soldiers and horses are easy to count, and they all have specific figures, but the Huns' soldiers and horses are chaotic.

On the way they came these few days, although they made some statistics, they didn't go into details.

The main reason is that it was too chaotic. Without the assistance of Zhong Qian and others, the generals such as Zhao Chongguo and Li Ling were too busy with logistics.

There were also several incidents in which the Huns surrendered their troops to rob food. If Zhao Chongguo hadn't beheaded the perpetrators with thunderous means, and had King Youguli assisting him, there might not have been major incidents.

Now the minister is only accurate to a hundred people, and there is nothing to do later. "

Huo Shan breathed a sigh of relief. He heard Zhang Anshi say that it was so serious, so he thought nothing was counted.

For him, such a huge army, not to mention being accurate to a hundred people, even a thousand people is fine.

In this way, he can divide the soldiers and horses. The specific number is a matter for the generals under his command. He only needs to be accurate to a thousand people, and it will not affect his arrangements and the battle situation.

Huo Shan beckoned:
"Go, talk while walking."

After walking up, Huo Shan turned to Zhang Anshi and said:
"I have already counted our own soldiers and horses, let's ignore the ones on Yiwu and my uncle's side, and count the ones on the offshore side first.

There are more than [-] people shooting sound.

Habayashi Huben has more than [-] people.

The Guanyu Army has more than [-] people.

On Cao Zong's side, there are more than 1.

There are more than [-] Qiang soldiers and horses in the two armies.

The three divisions of the two armies are more than [-] people.

The total number of soldiers and horses is more than [-]. "

The Zhenxi Second Division of the two armies followed Jiang Chong and the others to Yiwu, so one was missing.

"How does the commander-in-chief of our army think?"

Huo Shan waved his hand:
"Let's not talk about that first, you first talk about the number of Huns, and we will make plans later."

"promise."

"The Xiongnu soldiers and horses, counting our captives, plus the soldiers and horses who came to ask for surrender this time, the total number is 12.

King Youguli was directly under the command of King Li, excluding the [-] people who went to Yiwu, there were more than [-] people in total.

There are more than [-] tribal soldiers and horses under his command.

The soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu's vassal state numbered more than [-]. "

Huo Shan frowned:

"So, there are more than 8000 people who got lost or couldn't be found?"

"Exactly!"

After Zhang Anshi returned, he looked worried, 12, plus 19, the real 20 army.

At this moment, Huo Shan is really having a headache, how should he arrange the 20 army!
After returning to the big tent, Huo Shan scratched his head, no matter how this matter is arranged, it must be arranged, it is impossible to just let it go.

As for whether he can suppress so many soldiers and horses, and whether he can command so many soldiers and horses, he has never considered this issue.

With his title of champion, it is easy to suppress these soldiers, not to mention that these are defeated soldiers who have just been defeated by him.

As for the commander, it is impossible for him to command with an arm like Han Xin.

But the point is that he doesn't need to command like an arm, just hit a Western Region, just push it across!

There are still many talents under his command, and it is not a problem to lead these soldiers and horses to fight.

The generals of the Xiongnu can also be used. They are vulnerable to Zhao Chongguo and others, but they are definitely good at dealing with the Western Regions.

As for them being newly defeated, morale is a problem, so there is no need to worry about this. If you lead them to a victory, the accumulated resentment will explode into morale.

It has to be said that it is another legendary event to lead the new recruits directly into the battle and exert a strong combat power.

"Let's talk about Habayashi Huben first. People are drawn from Shesheng and put into Yulin Huben to make up the [-] shortfall. Shesheng has the remaining [-], which is enough."

Habayashi Huben is done, but Yulin Huben is relatively simple. They are Huo Shan's central army, and the military system has never changed.

"The minister takes orders."

Zhang Anshi quickly wrote it down on the paper, and this was his task later on. After Huo Shan arranged it, he had to coordinate with the generals to complete the task.

"Out of the 800 people in the Guanyu Army, [-] were drawn out to make up for the [-] in the two armies and the three divisions.

Then the second division of Zhenyu was transferred to the Chinese army and changed to the second division of Guanyu.

The troops under Cao Zong's command were transferred to the Guan Yu Army, plus the original Guan Yu Army, there were a total of 700 people.

Among the 6000 Huang under Cao Zong's command, an additional 700 people were added to form the Guanyu Division, leaving [-] people.

Take 700 brave men from the tribal troops under King Youguli, most importantly, those whose family members are in the logistics staff going to Yiwu, and those who hate King Youguli, and these [-] people Established Guanyu Tripartite. "

With so many foreign soldiers and horses entering the army, the Chinese army is bound to need to be strengthened.

"Even if the Chinese army is settled, there will be six thousand feathers and tigers, and thirty thousand champions."

As for the shooting sound, they are not counted in the Chinese army. They are considered as special soldiers in Huo Shan's hands. Later, Huo Shan will send them to the generals in the army, including the Xiongnu generals.

One's own people are protection, plus the sharpest sword in the hand at critical moments, and the generals of the Xiongnu are protection and surveillance.

"Governor, who is Guan Yu's general planning to arrange?"

Huo Shan shook his head:
"Guan Yu will be led by me personally. If I don't plan to arrange for the existing generals, I will bring Dong Ming, Fu Yu, Zhao Guan and others from Yulin, and others will use them elsewhere."

Zhang Anshi nodded, expressing that he knew, he left the generals in Guan Yu's column empty, and filled them in after he was sealed at dusk.

"Then there are more than [-] Qiang soldiers and horses."

After Huo Shan thought about it carefully for a while, he said:

"Take them out of the two armies, and then transfer 1 soldiers and horses from the Huns' vassal states to form the Qiang Army together.

One part of the Qiang army is all Qiang people, the second part is mixed, and the third part is vassal state. "

The Qiang army is the wildest in the whole army, while the subordinate soldiers and horses are the weakest. Put the two together and see if the Qiang army can infect them when they charge up.

Moreover, one of them is attached to the Han Dynasty and the other is attached to the Huns, so there should be some common topics.

As for whether the Qiang people will ridicule, ridicule, and discriminate against the soldiers and horses of the vassal state, this is inevitable, but Huo Shan doesn't care about these.

One, the strong in the army are respected, don't you agree?Can't swallow this breath?
Then you should perform well on the battlefield, and others will naturally obey you.

Two, they are not Huns soldiers and horses, they are soldiers and horses with a country, and Huo Shan doesn't pay much attention to them.

Of course, it's only at this stage, and Huo Shan will naturally pay attention to it when the Huns are attacked in the future.

"The general of the Qiang army should still be Zhao Puonu. Let him lead the whole army. One department will be directly led. The second department will choose the leader of the Qiang tribe. The third department will be the leader of the vassal state. You must choose those who are capable and obedient. Come up."

"The minister takes orders."

Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and filled in two names on the notebook.

"Next is Zhenxi, the two armies in the town.

The Zhenxi Army is led by Li Ling, with Su Xian as his deputy, plus Li Guangli...

King Youguli's tribe had [-] soldiers and horses, and [-] were drawn from King Youguli's soldiers and horses to make up [-] and transferred to the Zhenxi Army.

The generals of the Zhenxi Army remained the same, and were still led by Li Ling.

Li Ling's part is directly under the original soldiers and horses.

The second part of Su Xian, the soldiers and horses of King Youguli.

Li Guangli's three parts are the soldiers and horses of King Lili of Yougu.

For the fourth division, choose a general under the command of King Youguli to lead the army of King Youguli. "

Zhang Anshi nodded in agreement.

"After Zhenxi finished talking, then Zhenyu.

The number of people should still be [-], and [-] soldiers and horses were drawn from the tribal soldiers and horses under King Youguli's command to fill the township army, a total of [-] soldiers and horses.

Zhao Chongguo commanded the whole army, and originally had [-] soldiers and horses under his direct command.

Shangguan Jie led two tribes, and King Youguli led tribal soldiers and horses.

Yueqi Xiaowei led three tribes, and King Youguli led tribal soldiers and horses.

Then choose a competent person from the tribes under King Youguli to lead the four tribes. "

After Huo Shan finished his orders, he asked again:

"How many soldiers and horses are left?"

"Going back to the Governor, there are still seven thousand seven thousand left under the immediate subordinates of King Youguli, thirty six thousand three thousand remaining troops of the tribes under his command, and eight thousand four thousand remaining soldiers and horses of the vassal states."

Huo Shan made some calculations in his heart, and then said:

"There are still 5 left!"

Huo Shan thought for a while and said:
"Zhong Gan said that the logistical pressure is very heavy, if you don't think of a way, it will take a day to eat and feed the horses every day, let alone rushing to fight.

Then the more than 5 soldiers and horses should form another army, divided into five divisions, the fifth division is responsible for transporting food and grass, and the other four divisions are auxiliary.

One person from the first to the fourth department is responsible for the transportation of food, grass and materials for the first army. If 5 people are given to him, he should be able to relax, right?

Moreover, these [-] soldiers and horses can be regarded as a reserve force, and they can also go to the battlefield during wartime.

Of the more than 5 soldiers and horses, Zhong Gan is the main one, and Cao Zong is the general. Some of our generals and schools will be assigned to this army, and one part will be two people.

Then select some generals from their original army, what do you think? "

Naturally, the two of them have nothing to do. The issue of food and grass is the most important thing in the army, and they must not be sloppy at all.

With such a huge force of soldiers and horses transporting food and grass, the danger of food and grass problems is greatly reduced.

Moreover, it is impossible for Huo Shan to put the food and grass at the end to walk, which is different from the usual march of a large army.

In fact, before the Huns came, the problem of food and grass in the army was actually very simple.

Because the soldiers and horses under his command are all cavalry, and they are watched by the Northern Army and generals. In the end, they have also received certain training.

So when they were on their way, they could all take part of the food and grass to march together, and this part was still most of the food and grass.

Even if Zhong Gan has a batch of grain and grass in his hand, it will be a small supplement from time to time when it is transported.

This is also an important factor why Huo Shan's soldiers and horses are so fast.

There are enough horses, and the grain and grass can be carried by yourself. There is no need to gather a large amount of grain and grass. In wartime, you only need to put the grain and grass on the spare horses, and special soldiers and horses will take care of it.

And because of the indoctrination of Huo Shan's military judges, they knew the importance of food and grass, and they were very attached to food and grass, and they were reluctant to eat it.

The team also checks from time to time, and the oases in various places also replenish horse grass, so there has never been a problem with the food and grass.

Except for the Qiang people, the soldiers and horses under Huo Shan's command will not steal food.

But now, do you dare to put the grain and grass down?
As far as these Xiongnu soldiers and horses are concerned, even if you give them repeated orders to let them know that the food and grass distributed will be for the next three, four, five or six days, but will they listen to this?
No, I'm afraid that when they woke up the next morning, the food and grass had already entered the stomachs of them and their horses.

This is why in normal wars, food and grass must be assembled and distributed every few days, and the reason is very strict.

It's not that Huo Shan didn't think about it. There are so many cases of burning food and grass in history, so why can't the food and grass be distributed and let the soldiers take it?
This is the reason, I can't let it go, it's all eaten up, the soldiers are enjoying it, what will they do in the next few days, and it's easy to lose it on the battlefield.

Huo Shan also thought about it, why not concentrate the food and grass in the center of the whole army, wouldn't it mean that others couldn't make a surprise attack?
This is not possible, because the situation will become very complicated when there is a war.

Food and grass will slow down the speed of the army, causing delays in fighter planes and so on.

It may also let the soldiers know the situation of the food and grass in the army, which will cause panic.

You have to know that the food and grass in the army has always been insufficient, and it is impossible to gather all the food and grass before fighting.

Food and grass must be deducted, and food and grass are always being sent back and forth, and they are always being consumed.

And the number of soldiers seems to be decreasing day by day, and there is no increase at all. Even if it is advertised that food and grass are coming, but it seems that there is not much, will the soldiers panic?

Besides this, there are many other factors.

And Huo Shan has his own reasons for being able to lower the military rations.

First of all, horses, soldiers can't move without horses.

As well as his prestige and military discipline in the army, there were still many problems when he first came down, and he corrected them step by step.

Now that the Xiongnu soldiers and horses are coming, there is really no way.

There is not enough food and grass, and if there is a little problem, it will be a big problem.
