Chapter 356

Shence army [-].Zhang Xuan is also in charge, and Nan Jiyun and Lei Wan are in charge at the spring equinox.

The Shenwu army is [-].Feng Changqing is the chief general, and Li Siye is the deputy general.

Flying Tiger Army [-].Guo Ziyi is the main general.

Thirty thousand Flying Leopards.Pugu Huai'en is the chief general, Zhou Xuchu is the deputy general, and Chen Xilie's grandson Chen Tong is the marching commander.

Ying Yang's army is fifty thousand.Li Guangbi is the chief general, and Gu Xi is the deputy general.Guard the hometown of Tuyuhun.

Tao Fen has [-] troops.Yang Lian is the main general.Guarding the front line of Shaliu River and Qinghai Lake.Defense against Tubo.

Thirty thousand Jingyuan troops.The Hexi Army was reorganized.

Ten thousand female soldiers.Su Hudong is the main general, and Li Tengkong is the deputy.

The formation of the Eighth Army has been completed, which means that Zhang Xuan will have more than 21 troops.Except for Li Guangbi and Yang Lian who guarded Tuyuhun and Qinghai, Zhang Xuan actually had more than 13 troops to fight against the Anlushan rebels.Coupled with the borrowing of soldiers from Huihe, it is not a problem to gather 15 people.

Among them, the Shence Army is the elite among the elite, equipped with firearms, will play a major role.The Shenwu Army is the Modao Army, which is also a special forces unit in the Longshuo army. It has Li Siye's 5000 Anxi Modao Army as its team. Zhang Xuan believes that this [-] Modao Army will give Fan Yang's rebels a head-on blow.

2 special forces, 3 regular troops, [-] female soldiers, and [-] to [-] Huihe cavalry. If such a mixed army can no longer resist the Anlushan rebels, it will be beyond human power.

The Shence Army has been fighting for a long time, especially in the use of firearms and formation charge, and has accumulated considerable experience.As long as the Firearms Division's firearms are in place, with the abilities of Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun, they will soon be able to turn the Shence Army into an infinitely powerful force.

Zhang Xuan is not worried about this.

Li Guangbi and Yang Lian's military horses were stationed in the hometown of Tuyuhun and the front line of Qinghai. They formed their own system.

However, the Shenwu Army, Flying Tiger Army, Flying Leopard Army, and Jingyuan Army needed to be reorganized and reorganized. It would take at least half a month to form an army.Next, generals such as Feng Changqing, Li Siye, Guo Ziyi, and Pugu Huai'en joined the intense army reorganization. As soon as the military order of the Governor's Office of Longshuo was issued, the whole town, all prefectures and counties were urgently mobilized , into a state of combat readiness.

The camps of Shenwu Army and Shence Army were on the outskirts of Lingzhou, while Guo Ziyi's Lingfeihu Army set up camp more than a hundred miles east of Lingzhou.The [-] troops dispatched by Hexi are still on their way, and they will be reorganized into the Jingyuan Army on the outskirts of Liangzhou.The Flying Leopard Army reorganized in Shuofang County, and Pugu Huai'en and Chen Tong rushed back to Shuofang on the day Zhang Xuan issued the military order to join Zhou Xuchu.

Guo Ziyi's Flying Tiger Army, Pugu Huai'en's Flying Leopard Army, and even Hexi's Jingyuan Army were adapted without any difficulty or technical content. It was nothing more than a process of disruption and integration, and then unified orders.

The Shenwu Army needs to absorb 5000 ordinary soldiers to become the Modao Army, and it will take a lot of time to run in and practice with the 5000 Modao Army in Anxi.Feng Changqing put aside all the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and concentrated on reorganizing the army with Li Siye. The operation of the military and political system of the entire Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the logistics and distribution of the entire army, and other matters were all on Zhang Xun's shoulders alone. On, his burden is heavy.

As for the 1 female army that Zhang Xuan asked Su Hudong and Li Tengkong to form, including Zhang Xunfeng, Chang Qing and others, they didn't take it very seriously.Because there are precedents for women joining the army in ancient times, and the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, if there were women serving the country and joining the army, it would not be unacceptable by the society, but it is difficult to form a [-]-strong female army.

Even Zhang Xuan just wants to build such a female army designation for the time being. In a short period of time, if there are more than a thousand female soldiers, Zhang Xuan will basically be satisfied.

He didn't even expect Su Hudong and Li Tengkong's unprecedented enthusiasm and excitement for forming a female army.

After the order for women to join the army was issued by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Su Hudong and Li Tengkong discussed it and decided to split up.

Li Tengkong was in charge of sitting in Lingzhou City and going to various prefectures and counties to recruit female soldiers, while Su Hudong rushed back to Huihe to recruit soldiers under the protection of a team of guards.Su Hudong knew that it was almost impossible to recruit a female army of more than [-] in Longshuo, so she wanted to go back to Hehe to recruit.Hearing that Su Hudong was going back to bring the female cavalry she formed in Huihe to Longshuo, Zhang Xuan was naturally happy to enjoy it.

From the second day after rushing back to Longshuo, Zhang Xuan never saw Su Hudong and Li Tengkong again.Seeing that Li Tengkong was very busy, Hua Nuer also joined in to help Li Tengkong.

One month passed quickly, and the early summer of the first year of Zhide came soon.

This is the season with the biggest wind and sand in Longshuo, and the dry climate is disturbing.

Compared with Long Shuo's tense actions, Zhang Xuan seemed more relaxed.

In terms of military affairs, Feng Changqing and others were in charge of their own affairs, and in terms of government affairs, Zhang Xun was in charge of all the heavy responsibilities. Zhang Xuan, the governor, and King Yongning only made decisions on some major issues.

Although Zhang Xuan's people are in Lingzhou, the news from Chang'an, Fan Yang and Tubo is continuously aggregated and passed on. Restrictions are still somewhat lagging behind.

On the surface of Fan Yang's Anlu Mountain, it looks calm and calm.After the Xiren rebels occupied Pingzhou, they did not act rashly, and An Lushan did not send troops to conquer and suppress them. The two sides fell into a temporary confrontation.An Lushan let out the wind and said that the Xi people had a strong army. If the imperial court did not send troops to support them, it would be difficult to put down the rebellion with the strength of Fan Yang alone.

But everyone knows that An Lushan's wolf is ambitious and has evil intentions.

There was no movement on the Tubo side. It is reported that the main force of Stanley has withdrawn from the front line, and has huddled in some cities in the Tubo king's court, unable to take hold.On the contrary, there were some slight signs of soldiers and horses moving in the Tubo Feichuan area near Jiannan Road. Zhang Xuan guessed that this was the action of Chisong Dezan, the Tubo prince who had returned to Tubo.

Chisong Dezan's appeal in Tubo is not comparable to that of Stanley, and his methods and strategies are much higher than those of Stanley.However, no matter how capable and powerful Chisong Dezan is, it will take time to win the kingship from Stanley and reorganize the Tubo army.

For Zhang Xuan, what he lacks most is time.

The longer An Lushan delays his rebellion, the more fully he is prepared, and the greater the possibility of success in countering the rebellion.

There seems to be a change in the direction of Jiannan.It is almost a foregone conclusion that An Lushan contacted Nanzhao to make trouble together. It was also expected that Nanzhao would try to invade Jiannan to fish in troubled waters.But Zhang Xuan didn't take it too seriously.If Nanzhao wanted to invade the Central Plains, it had to take down the entire Jiannan Fanzhen.For Nanzhao, this is almost an impossible task.

In order to protect himself, in order to show his loyalty to the imperial court, An Sishun had to put all his energy into defending Jiannan at all costs.

If he let the Nanzhao people take advantage of the situation, he would be seriously dereliction of duty.What awaited him would be a tragic end. Li Heng had some kind of suspicion towards him. If he lost the battle, the result could be imagined.

But the news about Chang'an made Zhang Xuan a little heavy and depressed.

When he left Chang'an, Li Heng's words were beautiful, but on the second day after he left, Li Heng issued an order to order soldiers from Shannan, Huainan and Jiangnan provinces to quickly enter the capital to protect the safety of the capital.

With Yan Zhenqing's 10 people on the outskirts of Henan, and another 10 people responding from the side to defend Chang'an, he will feel more at ease.

This cannot but be said to be a bad move.

If the Anlushan rebels break through Yan Zhenqing's Henan army's line of defense, they will continue to drive southward. Huainan, Shannan, Jiangnan and other troops will be empty. The time in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no casualties, and a large amount of supplies and food will be obtained without a single soldier.

And once the Anlushan rebels retreated to surround Chang'an, no matter how many troops there were around Chang'an City, they were doomed to lose if they were backed by Chang'an, an imperial capital that was not suitable for defense.

This is equivalent to letting the An Lushan army catch a turtle in the urn.

After listening to Zhang Xun's report, Zhang Xuan frowned.If he hadn't been concerned about Li Heng's status as emperor, if he hadn't been in front of Zhang Xun and other bureaucrats, he would have scolded him aloud.

Stupid, terribly stupid!

After all, Li Heng's nature is still hard to change. It seems unrealistic to want the cowardly and cowardly Li Heng not to think about his own safety when the chaos is approaching.

Zhang Xuan let out a long sigh and said softly, "Master Zhang, this move by the imperial court is very inappropriate. The transfer of troops and horses to the front line of Chang'an will leave Jiangnan, Huainan and Shannan empty. If the rebels rely on the wealthy rear and surround Chang'an with a large army, how can Chang'an be kept?"

Zhang Xun smiled awkwardly, but dared not respond.

Zhang Xuan can criticize the imperial court's mistakes in edicts because of his identity, but for Zhang Xun, he is just Zhang Xuan's assistant minister, and even though he holds the administrative power of Longshuo Town, he dare not exceed the rules .

"The fall of Henan is equivalent to the fall of most of the Tang Dynasty, and the fall of the entire Central Plains. In the land of Chang'an, even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are gathered, it is difficult to advance and retreat, and it is difficult to play a role. Master Zhang, quickly pass the letter to Yan Zhenqing in Henan And Zhang Tong in Chang'an... If something unexpected happens, please Yan Zhenqing lead the army to retreat to Tongguan, and Zhang Tong also leads the main force to attack, join forces with Yan Zhenqing, and defend Tongguan no matter what. At the very least, he must be on the front line of Tongguan , to delay the actions of the Anlu Mountain rebels, and buy time for our Longshuo and Hexi towns."

"If Tongguan is defended, if Tongguan is kept, Chang'an will be safe and sound. If Tongguan falls, Chang'an will collapse without a fight."

Zhang Xuan's voice became gloomy and dignified.

Zhang Xun hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, I'll do it right now, my lord, please don't worry."

Zhang Xun turned to leave, but he heard Zhang Xuan sighing and added, "At the same time, the imperial court said that the towns of Longshuo and Hexi are fully prepared for battle. Once Fan Yang's mutiny occurs, our army will send troops to serve the king as soon as possible. Your Majesty, please." Peace of mind!"
