Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 13
Li Keyong wanted to borrow Daohezhong. Wang Chongying received the Wen of Hedong Guan, suspecting his strategy of destroying Guo through false ways, and hurriedly spread the news to the prefectures and counties, ordering him to strengthen the walls and clear the country.

Originally, his attitude towards moving to Jingzhao was vacillating, so he immediately packed his bags and moved his family, fearing that he would suffer a military disaster later.The soldiers who wanted to go to the court saw that the Shangguan did not stop them, so they made up their minds.

Wang Zhongyingle felt relieved, he didn't need anyone, so it would be better to kill him or leave.

After these people left, Wang Chongying immediately arranged for his confidantes to serve as governors and county magistrates of various prefectures and counties, and ordered these confidants to immediately recruit troops for training after they took office.

There is no shortage of money, food, and population in Hezhong, and his strength quickly recovered. Wang Chongying took full control of the power in Hezhong, and gradually he was not afraid of Li Keyong.It's just that the soldiers' drills are still short and their combat power is not enough, so they don't want to confront Li Keyong at this time.

On Li Ke's marching route, he prepared some food, grass, money and silk to show his goodwill, and sent them out of the country as a gift.

Wang Chongying was satisfied, Li Ke was satisfied, and the court was naturally happy.

When Zhang Quanyi heard that the imperial court named Li Cunxu as Heyang Jiedu envoy, and that Li Keyong led the troops to attack, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was in panic all day long.

On the one hand, he hurriedly explained to the court, and on the other hand, he wrote to Zhu Wen for help.

Zhu Wen's head hurts.

At this time, he was hoarding grain and grass and Songzhou, and the army gathered. His generals Ge Congzhou and Ding Hui were already in place, ready to deal a fatal blow to Caizhou Qin Zongquan, so as to calm down Caizhou, and then Wei Bo mutiny, and divided troops to rescue .Now that Li Keyong is leading an army to attack Heyang, he knows that the drunkard's intention is not in drinking, but in Bianliang.

Immediately raise the account.

Zhu Wen said: "Li Ya'er led [-] cavalry to invade Heyang, what do the soldiers think?"

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to answer.

Zhu Wen turned his head and asked Xiang Jingxiang, "What do you think, sir?"

Jing Xiang's brows were furrowed tightly, he deployed troops in three places, and divided his troops to defend Yan, Xu, and Huainan, he couldn't manage his thoughts in a hurry.

Wei Bo doesn't need to be rescued, and Yan, Xu, and Huainan defend with empty troops. Should Qin Zongquan be defeated first, or Li Keyong be attacked first?
Weighing the pros and cons again and again, Jing Xiang said: "My lord, our troops can only be used in one place. Whether Qin Zongquan or Li Keyong, we can only defend in one place, and gather superior forces in one place to destroy them. We must not divide our troops and use them in a stalemate. As time goes on, there is a fear of accidents."

Zhu Wen nodded his head, which is also in line with his usual style of using troops, concentrating his troops and hitting the pain at once.

"Sir, I think it's better to attack Li Ya'er first, or attack Qin Zongquan first."

Jingxiang thought over and over again, and said: "Qin Zongquan, the bandits and bandits, marched into the army for looting, and Li Keyong, the jackal, actually annexed Bianliang to seek revenge. Kuang Heyang is on the verge of our territory. If it is lost, Bianliang will never have peace. Hey! The relationship between this, please be clear to the Lord!"

Zhu Wen frowned slightly, he had already made calculations in his heart, and he must not let Li Keyong gain a firm foothold in Heyang.

"All the officers and men listen to the order and quickly lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to assemble in Songzhou."

"promise!"

…………

The imperial court successively obtained more than [-] soldiers and horses in Hezhong, including [-] cavalry, more than [-] family members who moved with them, and countless cattle carts. The new Hezhong generals Zhang Yi, He Zhixun, Cao Jin, and Fu Xingcheng.All were placed in the governor's mansion of the five armies, and the official residence was given by the emperor.

According to the actual investigation by the Ministry of War, the infantry of the original Shence Army was organized into 26 capitals, each with ten schools, each school with ten teams, and each team with 11 people.A total of 600 people.

The infantry of the Hezhong Army was organized into fourteen capitals, each with 1100 people, the same as before.A total of 400 people.

The original Shence Army had 3000 cavalry, 500 Hezhong cavalry, and 100 Hedong cavalry.There are a total of 20 people and more than [-] horses. They are organized into nine capitals, each full of [-] people, governing five schools with [-] people in each school, and five teams with [-] people in each team.

Each capital has one commander, three deputy commanders, each school has one school commander, two deputy commanders, and each team has one principal and one deputy.

The infantry were organized into the left and right Shence Army, the left and right Shenwei Army, the left and right Habayashi Army, the left and right Shenwu Army, and the left and right Longwu Army, a total of ten armies.

The cavalry is organized into the left and right Xiao cavalry army, the left and right hussar army, the left and right god cavalry army, and the left and right dragon cavalry army.A total of eight armies

Among the ten infantry armies, each army plans to have ten capitals, a total of [-] infantry soldiers, and actually four capitals, each of which is a villager. Law.The four capitals mixed the Hezhong Army and the original Shence Army.

Each army has one commander who is responsible for commanding the troops, three deputy commanders of the army (who can also serve as commanders of each capital), three chief historians, three branch planners, and three soldiers and cao officers. People, 300 people are actually compiled, and 100 people are included in the emperor's personal guards during wartime.

The eight cavalry armies, each army plans to form ten capitals, and the actual three armies, Zuo Xiao cavalry army, right Xiao cavalry army, and Zuo Long actually organize three capitals, with 500 people in each capital, and 500 people in each army.

Each cavalry army has one commander, three deputy commanders, three chief officials, three branch planners, and three soldiers. The school team directly under the army is planned to have 150 people, and the actual number is 50. During wartime, 100 people will be allocated according to the situation. guard.

The commanders of each army are only responsible for commanding the troops and have no right to deploy troops. Each army is stationed in a scattered manner.And all generals, if they have no family members in the capital, will not be granted military commanders or school commanders.

After the reorganization is completed, the Tenth Infantry Army plans to have a total strength of 11, and the actual number of infantry is more than 3000.

The total strength of the cavalry is 1000, and the actual number of cavalry is nearly 5000. The total number of cavalry is 15, and the actual number is 5. It can be regarded as barely able to protect itself.

However, the original Shence Army has a large number of ruffians and hooligans, and they will definitely be eliminated gradually in the future.

After the Ministry of Households settled the military households in Hezhong one after another, Li Ye ordered Li Ke to use the 50 guan donated by Li Ke to buy food and other materials in the surrounding towns. Only now, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, Zhang Chengye successfully entered the court.

Li Ye summoned Zhang Chengye at the court meeting in the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace.

The Xuanzheng Hall of the Tang Dynasty is the place where the imperial court meets, where the emperor confers the jade seal of the country, and holds the enthronement ceremony.

Hundreds of officials lined up on both sides, Zhang Chengye entered the hall to worship, Li Ye personally walked down the steps to help Zhang Chengye up, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

This matter, Zhang Chengye really managed it, and it was difficult, how could Li Ye not know, to put it bluntly, Zhang Chengye just relied on his words to get 10,000+ soldiers and civilians for Datang.

At this time, Zhang Chengye's eyes were full of tears. When he was still in the river, he heard that His Majesty had eliminated Yang Fugong's party members neatly. Now the refreshing military system was created by His Majesty the Emperor himself, the real master of Zhongxing.

Zhang Chengye devoted himself to serving the Great Tang, but he had no way out. Now that His Majesty the Emperor favored him, he could display his ambitions. As an eunuch, it would be a great misfortune for him to be able to get this kind of honor. Who can say that he will not be able to leave a mark in the history of history in the future? Woolen cloth.

"Ai Qing has worked hard!"

"Die for His Majesty, the wish of this servant!"

Li Ye put Zhang Chengye's hand on his palm, lightly squeezed the back of Zhang Chengye's hand, and said: "I treat you as a gentleman of the country. From now on, you are not allowed to call yourself a slave and maidservant. I will grant you the Duke of Shu, the servant of the household department, and participate in political affairs... ..."

The ministers were astonished!
