1287 The general trend is assembled

The gathering in Longshou Primordial Stone City was originally scheduled to last for three days, but when the incident suddenly happened, whether it was General Shen or Shi Liu, who was attending the meeting, naturally they had no interest in feasting and drinking again.

However, even though it was only one day, many of the originally expected effects were achieved, and the participants could be said to have gained their own gains, which can be regarded as a clear understanding of the basic attitude and policy of Xingtai towards Shaanxi.

If there is a little regret, it is that the Longshi who attended the meeting did not have in-depth exchanges with the general, but this is not necessarily a good thing.

Long Hao's recklessness is far greater than that of Guanzhong Xianghao, limited to the current downstage energy is really misplaced, for Longshang is mainly fettered and enveloped, but if Long Hao wants to hear any definite statements from the general's mouth, it is also impossible. So in this state at the moment, it can be regarded as a knock.

Although the feast had been suspended, those Guan Long heroes were not in a hurry to return to their respective lands immediately, and a considerable number of them remained in Chang'an to wait and see how things progressed.

Xingtai did not disappoint these wait-and-see streams, and when the war machine was fully operational, the amount of energy that burst out was simply jaw-dropping.

First of all, the first point is the assembly of sergeants. A military order issued by the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion was issued and spread to all counties in Guanzhong in a very short period of time. The military governments of all sides also reacted quickly, and soldiers poured to Chang'an from all directions, and the military camps in the old city of Chang'an were gradually filled with soldiers from all over the country.

Although many military governments in Guanzhong were founded on the basis of the original rural heroes and powerful troops, the Xingtai Wang Division has always had experience in reorganizing the first army, although it cannot be said that in such a short period of time it can completely erase the traces and influence of those rural heroes and rights, but through high-intensity organizational reorganization, the improvement in efficiency is far from comparable to the old years.

In the whole Guanzhong, there are more than 30 large hanging mansions, although they are mainly concentrated in the densely populated Sanfu area, but there is no lack of military government in Shiping, Anding and other counties in the distance, and those places are inevitably deserted compared to the Sanfu area, the people are more aggressive, and the combat effectiveness is therefore higher.

But even the most remote county military governments such as Anding Chaona and Jingyuan, with the issuance of the decree of the Assassin's Palace, rushed to Chang'an to stand by within ten years. Needless to say, this efficient assembly speed alone is enough to be jaw-dropping.

The short-sightedness of the townspeople is not a contempt for them, but a fact, limited by their own experience and circumstances, it is difficult to have a vision of the overall situation, they may be able to feel the amazing changes in their respective hometowns, but it is difficult to connect them with the entire situation in Guanzhong, and they can't imagine what amazing effect will be revealed when these changes are combined.

In the past two years, Guanzhong has been dredging canals and opening roads, which not only benefits the local government, but also makes the entire Guanzhong no longer just an isolated node, but completely strung together and a close whole.

The strength of this integration, and the magnitude of the benefits it brings, are not something that these townsmen who have been operating on one side can grasp. Now that they are in Chang'an, they have to see the concentrated display of the entire achievement, and they are naturally amazed in their hearts.

Based on this kind of efficient requisition, within ten days after the assembly of Longshou Yuan Stone City, the entire Chang'an gathered more than 60,000 soldiers with armor. With such a grand army, many people were able to witness it with their own eyes, and they did not even have to wait for the progress of the war afterwards, and they were already full of confidence in this battle.

But in fact, these government soldiers are not the main force on the front line of this operation, but only serve as a reserve force.

What is the strength of Saihu, there is actually no detailed and specific understanding at the moment, but it is expected that it will not be too strong, although the land of China has been turbulent for a long time, but it is far from the time when they can appear on the stage of history and sing the leading role. Therefore, it is conceivable that the pressure on the frontal battlefield will not be too great.

But this does not mean that the Saihu are not a threat at all, they have lived in the border for a long time, and they still maintain a very strong nomadic habit, living in pursuit of water and grass, and do not have a specific regional concept. For them, who are bitter and cold, China is full of ointment, and no matter where they make a profit, the income will inevitably be far better than the harvest of their nomadic years in previous years.

Possessing a strong flow of their own power, and maintaining the organizational power of non-orange tribal chieftains, these saihu, once they came south, were like a little spark drifting into a dry reed pond, and no one could guarantee where the fire would burn, and the harm it would bring was far greater than that of ordinary bandits.

Therefore, for Wang Shi, the best tactic is to encircle and annihilate the enemy. In a large-scale centralized battle, the cooperation of the royal division, whether it is armor or soldiers, is far more than these rabble Saihu, and he can be completely fearless.

But whether it is General Shen or the generals of the Assassin Mansion, they are not very optimistic about this. These Saihu did not have a clear concept of attacking the city and plundering the land, claiming the king as the hegemon, and they could not have the courage to go straight to the dangerous fortress where the Xiong army was reassembled, so before the battle, they must first be prepared to deal with the extinguishing of the stray thief Hu.

Although the combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the military government in various places is not weak, one of the most fundamental problems is that the local complex is too deep-rooted, once they are allowed to stay in the countryside, then it is very likely that they will hold on to it, even if there are strong men crossing the border, as long as they do not plunder their respective rural areas, they dare to turn a blind eye, and they will not be able to meet the needs of interception and cooperation within the region.

At present, half of the soldiers of the military government of all sides will be assembled, and a certain amount of garrison forces will be left in various places, and then they will be disrupted and distributed to the counties and counties on the northern line of Guanzhong, which seems to be a redundant move, but it can achieve a proper attack and defense, and ensure that Saihu will not break through this dense blockade line. Moreover, the soldiers and soldiers of the government mainly wait for the battle in the Guanzhong realm, which can also minimize the impact of stubborn diseases such as camp timidity.

In addition to the assembly of government troops, there is the mobilization of various ordnance.

At present, if the Jingzhou army and the local county soldiers and township warriors in Jiangdong are counted in them, the strength of the troops has already far exceeded more than 600,000 people, of course, the main responsibility of the county soldiers in Jiangdong and the township warriors in various places is still to arrest and arrest in the security territory, and the combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, and it is almost impossible to carry out long-distance expeditions.

However, with such a large army, it is difficult to maintain a sufficient supply of ordnance. Therefore, in addition to a few elite troops that are key armed in the Taiwan Division, there is a non-obvious regression in the level of armament when it comes to the Wang Division as a whole. For example, these newly built military offices in Guanzhong are only two or three out of ten, and only the real elite of the military government can be equipped with a complete set of armed ordnance.

Xingtai implemented the closure of mountains and forbidden rivers in Guanzhong, and the biggest advantage was that it directly confiscated many private smelters in those Haowu Townships, although the level of these smelting was uneven, and it was far from reaching the standards of the two major smelting and casting bases in Wujiang and Luojian, but it was better than supplementing the productivity of ordinary standard ordnance.

The accumulation of the past two years, although it was also accompanied by a small amount of consumption in the suppression of bandits, did not take place any high-intensity warfare in Guanzhong, and at the same time, the collection of folk gold and iron artifacts also stockpiled a considerable amount of various ordnance.

Now these ordnance has been dispatched and transported to Chang'an from all sides, which is enough to make the armed level of the government soldiers climb to a set, and simple ordnance such as arrows, knives, and spears can be transported to the battlefield on the front line in northern Shaanxi in batches.

Regarding this operation, Shen Zhezi's thinking is still in terms of material use, mainly using the accumulation of Guanzhong in the past period, and not transferring a large number of them from Zhongzhou.

Because the subsequent Hebei operation is the focus of Xingtai, and the layout of the Western Expedition Pass, including the entire Western Front strategy after that, has consumed a considerable part of Xingtai's reserves, and if it continues to invest, it is very likely that the subsequent Hebei War will be overstretched.

Guanzhong is preparing for war here, and Yu Man in Longshang is also ready to move after hearing the news. As the governor of Longshang, he has a good relationship with Hexi at the moment, and there is even no lack of business and trade interactions, and there are no thorns in the realm who dare to jump out of the provocation, and the only battle in front of him is to attack the Qiu Chi Yang clan entrenched in the Wudu and Yinping mountains.

The war in Qiu Chi made Yu Manzhi extremely depressed. It's not that there are frequent defeats, in fact, under the attack of Yu Man's army, Qiu Chi Guo is almost powerless to parry, and he has been defeated and retreated one after another. However, the terrain of the area where it is entrenched is too complicated, the mountains are rugged and difficult to walk, and the ravines are staggered everywhere, which is not suitable for the army to pull out at all, which makes Yu Manzhi feel quite depressed by the mud and asceticism.

At this time, he learned that there would be a large-scale use of troops in northern Shaanxi, and Yu Manzhi also behaved very actively, and asked for battle again and again. Qiu Chi Guo did not have the strength to invade at all, and the two years of exhaustive attack became a trend of prolonging. Even if he leads some of his elite soldiers away for a while, there will be no unexpected variables.

Moreover, Yu Man's reasons are also very sufficient, allowing Longshangjie to enter the customs and fight side by side with Wang Shi can also deepen their sense of identity with Xingtai and become more deferential and respectful.

However, after this letter of war was sent to Chang'an, it was thrown aside by General Shen. Qiu Chiguo may not be a strong enemy, but it is definitely a stubborn disease in Longyi, and the chiseling through Wudu County is more related to opening up the Hanzhong Road, and the strategy of the Western Front is completely revitalized. Until this strategic intention is achieved, Yu Manzhi will not want to go anywhere.

What's more, the reason why he made such a big deal against Saihu Nan was not because of how strong Saihu was, but because he wanted to make an example of him, so that these Huma would not dare to peep south in the short term, at least to ensure the stability of the border in a few years, and wait until the remnants of Hebei Qianguo were completely wiped out, and then let these Saihu feel what real despair is!

However, Shen Zhezi agrees with Yu Manzhi's reason, whether the battle of northern Shaanxi will be smooth is not yet known, and whether it is Hedong or Hebei in the future, it will probably not be stable, and it will be difficult for Xingtai's energy to be maintained in the west for a long time.

So after that, he still put pen to paper, let the stable Guo Yu go down the Longshan Mountain, and recruit the powerful troops of Nan'an, Luoyang and other counties with the Qinzhou Assassin History, and lead the Guanzhong to incorporate the battle, anyway, Guo Yu will also take over Huan Xuan as the Yongzhou Assassin History, and call these Longshang border people into the Guanzhong, so as to eliminate the hidden danger of backlash in the short term, and in the long run, it can also be used as a help for the expedition to Saibei.

In addition, there is also the chief Fuhong, after Shen Zhezi thought about it, he raised his pen and awarded him the rank of protector, and attributed it to Guo Yu's command, serving as the general of Luoyang Qundi.

He also wanted to see if Fu Hong could subdue the unruly chieftain of the unruly Luoyang Di without the basic armed forces, with the authority and power granted by the platform.

He is not worried about whether Fu Hong can take this opportunity to embark on the original trajectory of his life, in fact, now there are many strong troops in Xingtai, which is far from the embarrassing situation in the original history when Shihu's forces withered in the later period and could only rely on foreign troops. The current situation, not to mention a mere Fuhong, even if the entire Guanlong people are completely united, it is impossible to have a chance to grow under the watchful eye of Xingtai.
