Chapter 23 Seven Armies, Four Brigades, One General

It cannot be considered a battle, the number of deaths on both sides is less than 200??

But the consequences are serious. The battle with Dayan was shocking, and more than one million stones of grain flowed into the eight states, and the response was dead silent??

No minister in the court took the initiative to speak??

On the other hand, Sinuoluo was still leaping. After hearing that Wang Hua had obtained food, the army shrank and hid in Jishi Mountain and Dafeichuan and could not come out.?

Wang Hua ignored him, and the first snow began to fall in the northwest, and it was not the time for battle. However, when the food arrived, the army and the people of the eight states were stable. The elders of each tribe had even brighter eyes. When they got the food, they had to look at how much food they had. The census of the northwest, how many people they had. I calculated it in my mind that the difference was only about 600,000 shi. Now these foods are not only enough, but also exceed them??

No one was worried at this moment?

Wang Hua did not relax immediately, and the water conservancy matters continued. Although the weather was cold, the people here were mostly foreigners, and their bodies were cold-resistant. In addition, the arrival of food encouraged the people's hearts, but the speed of water conservancy accelerated. This is very important. More than half of the population has increased. Now, the water conservancy can be cultivated as much land as possible after the water conservancy is built. With the fields, you can grow crops next spring. You can't expect that Wang Hua Lao will grab food. Can you still have such a good thing next time?

Theoretically, it will take some time to grab the soil next spring, but now the effect of turning it out with a plow is different from that next spring. Once you freeze, you will be crispy soil. It is not only suitable for planting crops, but also has an effect on weeding and insect removal??

Who said that Wang Hua did not have the ability to invent herbicides, so he still used a hoe to weed. Not only that, Wang Hua also asked old farmers to teach him, otherwise these migrant people would likely sow seeds into the ground like in Tubo and reap the harvest by heaven?

There are many things to prepare. There are more land in the circle, not planting crops, but also planting bamboo and various flowers in the mountains. Wang Hua has quietly transported perfume to the capital. There are very few and very few varieties. It is to pick some wild flowers in autumn, such as various chrysanthemums, osmanthus, and long-term crape myrtle and roses. Some flowers are still blooming, such as cockscombs, but the fragrance is not strong and there is no extraction value??

The quantity is very small, and this is for experimentation. In addition to sending some, including sending them to Oceania and Li Hong and others, there are also some good-family tribes and soldiers who have started their own families and businesses, there are only a small part left. The small glass bottle that Wang family in Taiyuan has customized in Oceania. There are some exquisite patterns on the bottle, and the mouth of the bottle is made of plant glue and peach wood. In later generations, this small bottle cannot be thrown around after being used up to prevent it from being pricked. But at this time, this small bottle alone is of great value?

About four or five hundred bottles were shipped to the capital, but the price was not determined. Some of the shops I got were placed in the goods price, and they were used as treasures in the town store for customers to watch. Of course, they couldn't be stored for long, and they were all given away in the end. How much does a bottle cost? Asked Zhang San and Li Si, they didn't know?

Then I can't find it again?

There are flowers in winter, but in the south and northwest, there are very few flowers that bloom in this cold weather. We cannot rely on wild flowers, as the quantity cannot form economic benefits. Therefore, artificial planting is fortunate to be exclusive and there is no need to worry about benefits??

Bamboo is not occupied in the area, and it can be planted in barren mountains and wilderness. Most of the flowers need to be planted. There are also beets, which are also easy to plant and can even grow on saline-alkali land. But it is really impossible to plant on saline-alkali land. To form benefits, fertile land must be needed??

Therefore, these measures will bring earth-shaking changes to the Eight Prefectures, and even if the imperial court wants to block it, it cannot block it. It can export to the Turks, Tubo or to the Tuqishi, Tou and Dashi in the west. But there is a prerequisite, to have a field??

So even though the weather is cold and the people are warm, Wang Hua takes advantage of the heat to strike iron and continues to let them build water conservancy and turn over the fields?

Wang Hua only formulated a major policy for this matter, which was done by his subordinates, including distributing food. It cannot be given away for free. First, we must do things, and second, we must also look at loyalty.

Then Wang Hua presided over the second thing, expanding the army. With a population base, food, and the surrounding environment is very unstable, Wang Hua began to expand the army for the second time. But in order not to delay production, there were no expansions, only a few 20,000 people??

This time the army expansion is not as cold as the first time, and all ethnic groups respond.

Many tribes in the original eight prefecture tribes are beginning to regret it. Look at the thirty tribes, Wang Hua sends prisoners and supplies, which is obviously intended to be ten times and a hundred times reward. As long as he supports it, it will be difficult for these tribes to grow in a few years. Wang Hua has begun to deliberately suppress the tough tribes, or to move again, who has the courage to do so?

But Wang Hua didn't appreciate their affection this time?

The expanded army was mainly composed of five ministries and Tuyuhun people. They either came to surrender to Wang Hua, or showed high loyalty and cooperation. It was safe to use Wang Hua from these tribes, and they now accounted for a large number of the people of the Eight Prefectures. In fact, as long as they were tied to the chariot, the Eight Prefectures would naturally be able to settle down in the Eight Prefectures??

This is a network of relationships, but Wang Hua's expansion of the army this time had very high requirements for the quality of soldiers. Because of the many people responding, Wang Hua had room for selection. After ten days of busyness, the number of troops was determined. In addition to expanding 20,000 people, there were also 10,000 people transferred from Oceania, the original 50,000 soldiers, and the total number of troops reached more than 87,000??

Wang Hua began to form an army system, and first established the Seventh Army. The Tang Dynasty used the government soldiers as units, and Wang Hua did not use them. There was no larger organization. The rule was a bit chaotic during large-scale warfare. Each army had 10,000 people. Of course, it would continue to expand in the future, and the army would be the highest unit, but the number of soldiers in one army continued to increase??

The name of the Seven Army is still from the Seven Star Beidou. Although it once again makes people think of the Quanzhen Sect. But Wang Hua is just a different name, and others don’t know it?

The first is the Tianshu Army, stationed in Shanzhou, which is the base camp of the Blood Camp, led by Geshu Han. Among the Big Dipper Stars, Tianshu Star is the master of Tian and Yangde, and is the star. Geshu Han is stationed in Shanzhou and is very understanding. Hululing is a fierce battle with Tubo soldiers face to face. Now a powerful enemy has come. Geshu Han is undoubtedly the best choice for garrisoning Shanzhou?

But when Geshuhan heard that he named the 10,000 troops under his jurisdiction the Tianshu Army, he was still stunned for a moment??

After all, in the hearts of the blood camp general Gan, except Wang Hua, Kong Heizi is the second-ranked person. One is the elder of the blood camp, and the other is the master Wang Hua??

He looked around suspiciously, Wang Hua didn't say anything, Kong Heizi kicked him and said, "Boy, come on the side and laugh a little, don't let down the hope of the governor for you.??

He ran to the side and laughed. After the distribution was completed, he was still happy in front of Xue Song and others, and he angered Xue Song and others to death. It was not for a false name, but once Wang Hua set Ge Shu Han's army as the Tianshu Army, he would transfer the most elite soldiers for him to spend money?

The second army is equally important, Yaoguang Army. Yaoguang Star, that is, Pojun Star, requires a soldier star among the Big Dipper. There are many legends about it in mythology. This is led by Kong Heizi. Some people in Geshuhan still eat sourness, and none of Kong Heizi dare to fight with him. Is this stationed in Yinzhou??

Yinzhou was defending against the Turkic invasion. Kong Heizi had the experience of fighting against the Turkic people many times. On the Seven Stars Map, Pojun Star also happened to be at the end of the spoon. It is very similar to the terrain of Yinzhou, Zhongba??

The two most important troops, one head and one tail, are settled, and the other five are easy to deal with. Wang Junchuo's Tianxuan Army is stationed in Hezhou. According to the logic, among the seven stars, Tianxuan Star is the Dharma Star, and the landlord Yin is the third important one. There is no objection to this. Wang Junchuo was in the age of that year, and he accumulated a reputation from Mo Hegan. Moreover, Hezhou's defense is also very heavy, so he is the one??

Then there is Lanzhou, Tianji Army, Tianji Star is a male star, the master and the disaster is led by Guo Qianguan. This army is equally important. Not only did he monitor the movements of the court, but he also responded to Hezhou. At the same time, Comrade Da Guo fought in the valley and slaughtered 10,000 Tubo people, and he did not even let go of war horses. He was a disaster in himself??

The fifth army is the Tianquan Army. The Tianquan Star is the Star of the Defeat, which is the rule of the law of heaven and the law of the law of the world. It is placed in the place where Huizhou and Shanzhou communicate with each other. It is mainly to respond to Shanzhou and defend against Lao Guo as the auxiliary. It is necessary to guard against it. Although Lao Guo is a master of the current affairs, Wang Hua also heard the news that the Tubo envoy appeared in Lizhou. Can this woman, Wei, do anything??

If she could confuse Li Xian and Tubo collude and attack on both sides, and then give a deadly order to suppress Lao Guo to send troops. If she defended herself, Lao Guo would also find a way to refuse to delay. If she did not defend herself in Huizhou, she might take the opportunity to enter and take over his backyard??

Xue Song was still a little unwilling, but Wang Hua analyzed the key points and said that this was just a temporary distribution, and now it is mainly about military training. Once the battle is fought, should Geshuhan and Wang Junchuo start a war with Tubo? Or would Kong Heizi use 10,000 troops to fight against the Turks?

Then we arrived at Yuheng Army. Yuheng Star was the center of the Killing Star, located next to the four sides. It was stationed in Yanzhou. This was led by Zhang Shougui. But Zhang Shougui had no complaints. Don’t think that staying in Yanzhou would be fine. Even if the Tang Dynasty attacked the eight states, most of them launched an attack from Lanzhou. Even if they launched an attack from Yuzhou and attacked Yanzhou, it was estimated that due to the inconvenient terrain and it was not large. But thinking about it this way would be wrong, and it also failed the name Yuheng Star was central??

The first priority of this army is speed. Wherever there is danger, you must immediately go to support it. Therefore, the quality is required??

The last army was the Kaiyang Army, led by Wu Keli. Kaiyang Star is a dangerous star, which is dominated by Tiancang Valley. This army is stationed in the northern part of Lingzhou to protect the safety of Lingzhou. Because of Lingzhou's geographical location, and it was originally the largest prefecture among the eight prefectures, Wang Hua has actually positioned it at the top of the eight prefectures. Not only protect the safety of Lingzhou, but also responds to Yinzhou. This appointment is beyond reproach. Wu Keli was originally a Khitan and was very familiar with the Turks.

Of course, each army needs to be further subdivided. It is still different from the Tang Dynasty. Ten people are fire, not five people are fire, and the team is cancelled. Ten fires are teams and ten teams are regiments. If the army expands again, Wang Hua plans to use five thousand people as guards. This will meet the needs of the military camp??

In addition to these seven armies, there are four brigades, named after the Four Symbols. Qinglong Hostel was led by Gongsun Yun and the largest brigade, with a total of 5,000 people. It is located in Yuanzhou to Yanzhou, Lingzhou, to train troops, handle emergencies, and respond to the safety of Yuanzhou.

The White Tiger Brigade was led by Commander Liu, stationed between Lanzhou and Hezhou. It also defended the imperial court and responded to Hezhou. It had to do this because it had a bad relationship with Tubo, and its focus was already placed in the south.

The Vermilion Bird was led by Wang Hua himself and placed it on the west bank of the Yellow River in Lingzhou to increase the thickness of the defense in the north. It was also a defense that some backward nomadic people in the desert came to invade after seeing the wealth of the Eight Prefectures??

The Xuanhu Brigade was led by Mo Hegan and stationed in the middle of Heshan Prefectures. Mo Hegan not only led the army, but also had to deal with government affairs like Wang Hua. In fact, he and Wang Hua, Kong Heizi and Zhu Tong became the four giants of the Blood Camp, although Zhu Tong did not lead the army?

It was not that the mission was over after the division of the Seventh Army and the Fourth Brigade, but after the division, there was more things and how the soldiers were divided, it was also a headache. There was another thing to do. The nomadic peoples used to be herders in their spare time and soldiers in their wartime, which saved a lot of expenses. Wang Hua wanted to do it, but he could not use it??

Because of food and land, Wang Hua is about to plan to focus on farming. Without nomadic, if this method is used, it will inevitably reduce its combat effectiveness. Therefore, they should be concentrated together, one is to be able to train appropriately, and the other is to stay together and be familiar with each other, and cooperate with each other during combat. But in order to save costs, in addition to training, farming must also be cultivated. Otherwise, these thousands of troops will be able to open their stomachs, which will also be a heavy burden. Even if they can be raised, they cannot be raised. This time, the grain will make Wang Hua feel worried??

After half a month of busyness, the reorganization was finally completed??

Originally, the morale was high and the physical fitness was very high, so the reorganization was more organized. Then, after training, the combat effectiveness was undoubtedly significantly improved again??

There are many scouts in the eight prefectures now, including Tubo, Tang Dynasty, and Lao Guo, who have quietly sent people to check it out??

Faced with such an army, thinking of its name, the Big Dipper was originally the main death, and almost everyone felt a murderous aura coming to their faces??

It was not without negative effects. As the blood camp exposed its sharp minions, especially one morning siege to seize grain, especially Jingzhou, which was separated from Chang'an by one Binzhou and Xianyang, and there was also a Wei River. The court was very nervous and sent a large number of troops to Taozhou, Weizhou, Qingzhou and other states. These troops were not fatal at present, but once Wang Hua encountered a crisis, Wang Hua did not suspect that they would stab a sharp knife in the back??

But in the eyes of the court, Wang Hua, who grew up, also posed a fatal danger to them?

After dispatching the army, Li Xian once again led the civil and military ministers to Luoyang. Staying in Chang'an is too dangerous. It is estimated that he has been staying in Luoyang and has begun to settle down and will not return to Chang'an anymore??

But Wang Hua welcomed another good news, and his subordinates brought Feng Changqing??

This made Wang Hua very happy, but it was not revealed. Feng Changqing is now just a soldier looking at the city gate. If he performs too grandly, it will make people feel weird. So he asked the servants at home to buy a wild mountain roe deer, make a four-dimensional hotpot, and put a lot of peppers in it. This year, many places have grown chili peppers, and they are not sold like last year. Although it is still very expensive, it is still very popular in cold or stuffy places??

Then, Zhang Shougui, who was stationed in the north, was called in the air, and Zhu Tong and Xiaomi, which was also a small family dinner. By the way, Feng Changqing also came over and had a meal together??

In fact, he made a long time ago that his subordinates accidentally met a young general who was familiar with military tactics in Hucheng. He did not say that he was a soldier. Then he brought him over and called Zhang Shougui and Wu Keli, saying that eating was fake, and this was a chance to give Feng Changqing a chance to stand out??

I am not old and I am just a newcomer. I used to be a soldier, but it is difficult to get the recognition of the soldiers of the current generals, Ruyun Blood Camp??

He himself wanted to test him, after all, Feng Changqing is still a little younger now, and when he becomes famous, he will be in his thirties?

Only Zhu Tong knew a little about the inside story and asked Wang Hua if this little Feng would be stage frightened?

Wang Hua shook his head. Some people were introverted and would be stage frightened when they encountered some scenes, or they would not speak. But Feng Changqing would not. Some generals in the Blood Camp had read history books and heard names, but their deeds were not clear. But some people, such as Geshuhan, Gao Xianzhi, and Feng Changqing, knew their history very well. In his thirties, they took the initiative to ask to be a servant under Gao Xianzhi's disciple. Don't think that servants are shameless. Xiang Wang Hua wanted to recruit servants, and those who were absolutely willing could be ranked from Lingzhou to Yanzhou??

Gao Xianzhi was startled when he saw him and immediately drove him out. The next day, Feng Changqing came again, Gao Xianzhi was so angry that he scolded: "I have driven you out, why are you upset me again???

He was angry, Feng Changqing returned with great enthusiasm and retorted with striking remarks: "I heard that you are Gao Yi, who came to vote today, why did you refuse? If you are a man who is a circumference, you will be the one who is looking for him; if you judge others by your appearance, you may lose your son Yu!??

A sentence refuted Gao Xianzhi to the point of being speechless??

But Gao Xianzhi still didn't accept him. Okay, no, Feng Changqing did it more simply. He brought the bedding roll and went to the gate of Gao's house to sleep. He slept for dozens of days. Gao Xianzhi made him a fairy and wanted to die, so he had to accept him. But he still didn't use it seriously, but the hero was about to come out of his pocket??

So it means that this person has courage. This is a good saying. The bad saying is that this person is thick-skinned??

Stage fright? Mostly I have no chance with Feng Changqing??

Moreover, he himself wanted to meet Cen Shen's protagonists in famous poems such as "The Feng Dafu was surrendered and returned to the army to offer his troops", "Zhumachuanxing sent him to the West Expedition", "Luntai Song sent him to the West Expedition", "Six Chapters of the Triumphal Song of the Fairy", "Climbing the Beiting Tower to the North Expedition of Beiting" and other famous poems...

A few people sat down and sent someone to call Feng Changqing. They are still neglected and encouraged him. This is a wise figure. He cannot send his subordinates to go directly and say that Wang Hua invites him. He can't believe that he is far away in Hucheng and is not old. Can Wang Hua just calculate that he can sleep at home at night? He has a talent in Hucheng, which is himself, and then he sends people to welcome him thousands of miles away. Can he believe it?

So I sent someone to contact him deliberately, and then encourage him to come, saying that you have a very military talent, why are you still a soldier? Guide him to sigh that these people are unwilling to be ordinary people, and then yin*, saying that the King of Eighthshus has a wise eye to recognize beads, why aren’t Eighthshushus?

When this guy heard it was reasonable, he really sympathized with Xiaobao and sneaked out of Hucheng and came to Lingzhou. He was still shameless and ran to Wang Hua's mansion to get a greeting post. Wang Hua opened it and saw that although he was a visit, the lecture not being arrogant or humble on the post, and he had a little demeanor. But he ignored him and waited for a few days, and when Zhang Shougui rushed from Yanzhou to Lingzhou, he called him up.?

People are here, but everyone looks at each other. It doesn’t matter if people are thin, like Zhu Tong, they are very thin, but elegant. This little Feng is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is in his prime, but he looks like an opium. This is not counting. He has his eyes slanted and his eyelids twitched as soon as he speaks. He is not big. He doesn’t know if it is because of fighting or naturalness. He is a little lame. If these factors are combined, if it is placed in later generations, he will not need to dress up in a Han Ji??

Li Xuejun glanced at Wang Hua and thought to herself, this is the talent you are looking for?

In fact, Wang Hua was already mentally prepared, but he was still shocked when he saw him. No wonder Gao Xianzhi didn't want him later. He looked too stylish??

Of course, Wang Hua won’t let him get out, so he politely let him sit down??

But at this time, we saw some clues. The people here are all well-known, but Feng Changqing did not sit calmly at all. It is fake to have no pressure, especially Wang Hua. In the Western Regions, there is still the same way, the topic of discussion is Wang Hua??

But he knew in his heart that if he showed a disobedience and Wang Hua looked down upon him, he would lose this great opportunity??

Wang Hua asked his servants to bring wine, let him sit down and drink and talk, and talked about some military opinions. In fact, Wang Hua deliberately induces him to show his talents. As soon as he talks, everyone's eyes began to lit up. This was also caused by preconceived ideas. Those who can enter Wang's painter banquets will not be weak even if they think they are weak. Otherwise, with his appearance, if they go to join Zhang Shougui and don't drive him out, they will probably carry a large stone lock of 100 kilograms and let Feng Changqingju. Isn't he going to join the army? This strength is always needed. But with Feng Changqing's small body, he doesn't have to 100 kilograms, and it is estimated that even 50 kilograms can't be lifted?

Zhang Shougui pounded Wang Hua's elbow??

Wang Hua turned his head and asked Zhang Shougui: "Captain Zhang, what's wrong???

Because the court did not have an imperial edict and no 10,000 people were organized, Wang Hua could not make his own decisions, and he was named General or Lang, so the Huo Chief was still the Huo Chief, and the captain was still the captain, but there was no general on it, so he used the words "Regiment Commander, Brigade Commander and Army Commander". There was no such thing as "everyone knew" in history?

Zhang Shougui pointed at Feng Changqing: "I want this person...??

The general who didn't want and performed well in the last battle, except for Wang Hua and Mo Hegan, the Fourth Brigade of the Seventh Army almost fought. Even Kong Heizi ignored his demeanor and joined in??

As he was talking, soldiers came in outside to report that they had captured several strange and respected people in the west of Lingzhou City. The army was reorganized, the weather was cold, the water conservancy project was basically over, and all tribes were settled. Wang Hua would not allow all forces to send a large number of scouts to inquire in his territory and began to sort out people of unknown origin in the territory?

But the targets I caught this time were different. One of the girls called themselves the little princess of the Xiangwang family. Needless to say, Li Chiying, the little princess of the Xiangwang family. If it were the veterans of the Blood Camp, they all knew her, but this team was all new recruits. Although no one knew Wang Hua when he heard the story of Li Chiying and Wang Hua, so he came to report it.?

Zhu Tong rolled his eyes and thought to himself, why are you always having trouble getting to know the Li family?

Wang Hua also scratched his head and said to the captain: "Take her here." v
