"Congratulations to Captain, congratulations to Captain ......"

"The subordinates are too captains to congratulate!"

In the middle hall of a mansion in Tongwan City, many generals from the Shuofang army gathered at this time, and everyone was in the first rank, everyone was beaming with joy on their faces, and they all said hello to the high priest who was sitting at the head of the house.

The edict to Gao Yu's promotion was once again delivered to the army of Tongwancheng. promoted Gao Yu from the festival to the festival degree! He also rejected Gao Yu's resignation and let him continue to serve as the deputy envoy of Shuofang Road Jingluo and the head of the soldiers and horses.

In addition, there are also a lot of precious medicinal materials sent to Tongwan City, saying that they are for Gao Yu's tonic treatment.

In short, the emperor's grace is mighty!

By the way, Hou Meng and Wu Haogu, who were responsible for investigating the "unauthorized opening of the border", were also recalled to Kaifeng Mansion at the same time.

In other words, the investigation of Gao Taiwei is over. The official family still believes in Captain Gao! Therefore, Gao Taiwei's subordinates, after getting the news, flocked to Gao Yu's mansion in Tongwan City to congratulate him.

Gao Yu looked at a group of generals in military uniforms, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The relationship between my family and them is indeed too close! Almost all of them were born in the Military Academy, and they were selected by their own families to enter the Imperial Horse Straight, and they brought meritorious service to the Northwest. and was promoted all the way to the rank of rampant official or ambassador...... Only Yang Keshi, Yang Kebi, Wu Song, and Gao Shixuan are not knights. But these four people are also their own henchmen!

The Great Song Dynasty paid attention to the "big and small system", "civil and military system", and "different theories mixed up...... But how come this new army of soldiers are all "Gao generals"? I really didn't mean to cultivate my cronies!

Gao Yu looked at the people who came to congratulate him painfully, six generals, six deputy generals, eighteen generals, and eighteen deputy generals, all of whom were pulled by themselves! And most of them were promoted from knights and warriors to high positions. And the following preparations will be prepared, deputy preparations, team positives, and team supporters...... It's all in the same vein, and no one will get along with themselves!

This junior general and petty official will not go against Gao Yu, and there is no civilian official to stir up the situation, and Yang Keshi and Yang Kebi, the high-level soldiers in the new government, are the same Gao Yu people!

This kind of power, Di Qing can't compare to it at all! The generals in the Western Army are no compare.

It seems that it is not much worse than the palace inspection of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty......

How could you be so careless? Now that the power has been cultivated, and the officials have begun to be suspicious, what can they do in the future!

Everyone saw Gao Yu sitting with his sword pressed, their brows tightened, and they were silent for a while. Everyone looked at Gao Yu, and a few people knew Gao Yu's thoughts, but they were worried that they would go down Zhao Kuangyin's path...... However, most people didn't look so far, and thought that Gao Yu was worried about the cavalry.

The Xinfu soldiers who are being trained in Tongwancheng are actually not as strong as they seem on the outside - there are many problems with the Xinfu soldiers, the morale of the soldiers is generally not high, the number of excellent officers is insufficient, and most of the non-commissioned officers (miscellaneous military ministers) are indiscriminate. The training progress of sword and shield soldiers and archers has been delayed. And the biggest problem is in the cavalry,

According to the plan, the new government soldiers need at least 6 cavalry battalions, nearly 3,000 cavalry soldiers, and one regular soldier should be accompanied by an auxiliary soldier and three walking horses and war horses.

And these 6,000 cavalry (including auxiliaries) could not be selected from the government soldiers. The kung fu of riding, raising horses, serving horses, and "playing acrobatics" on horseback cannot be learned in a few years. When you learn it, 5 years of military service is almost there, what's the use?

So before Gao Yu was investigated, he and Tong Guan pondered a "Shuofang Knight System", which was actually a reference to the way of the Imperial Knight. Recruit 3,000 knights in Shaanxi Sixth Road and Hedong Road...... Not only the children of the Han people can apply, but also the children of the Tibetan people who are good at riding and archery.

However, the request for the formation of 3,000 Shuofang knights has not been approved by the official Zhao Ji so far.

In the silence, I don't know who muttered: "Captain, Shuofang knight......"

Gao Yu raised his hand violently, signaling the man not to say any more, and he said slowly: "Shuofang Knight will definitely have it, you don't have to worry." Wu Chongdao will soon enter Beijing, and with him to dredge up the relationship, there is nothing that cannot be done. The most important thing for us now is to train our soldiers well!

Isn't the use of ours by the imperial court the ability to train soldiers? Now that the 26,000 soldiers are in your hands, and the armor and equipment have been delivered, will you be able to form an army in three months? Now that the Western Thieves are still fighting against our army in Qin Wangchuan, the situation on the battlefield may change, and then it will be the opportunity for our new army soldiers! ”

Gao Yu's words were generous, but in his heart, he didn't have any bottom at all. He really wanted to resign, but Zhao Ji didn't allow it, and sent him an edict. asked him not to rush back to Kaifeng Mansion, and first find a way to train the soldiers of the mansion......

This is an edict from the official family, what else can Gao Yu say? Even if you really want to be Di Qing's second, you can only bite the bullet.

……

"Brother Gao, congratulations!"

"Shiyan, congratulations, congratulations."

Gao Yu came out of the middle hall and went to the inner hall in the backyard, and Wu Haogu and Tong Guan, who were waiting there, got up from their chairs and said hello to Gao Yu.

Gao Yu just smiled bitterly, arched his hand and said, "Happy, happy!" ”

"Brother Gao, why bother with a sad face?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Are you worried that you can't train Shuo Fangjun well and live up to the trust of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Gao Yu shook his head, looked at Wu Haogu and sighed: "Da Lang, Shuo Fangjun should actually be practiced by you!" ”

Wu Haogu smiled, "Brother Gao, you are training in Shuofang, and the younger brother is going to Cangzhou to train in Cangzhou...... It's all for the Great Song Dynasty to train soldiers! ”

Tong Guan smiled and asked: "Chongdao, it seems that in a few years, we will be able to march together from Shuofang and Cangzhou, and attack Liao in two ways." ”

Wu Haogu nodded and stretched out two slaps: "Ten years, ten years at most, there will definitely be drastic changes in the north." We are training today for the drastic changes in ten years! ”

Although Wu Haogu was not interested in the Western Expedition, now pulling out a Shuofang army made Wu Haogu see more hope for the victory of the anti-Jin Dynasty.

The Western Army is now in the twilight of life, and half of the combat effectiveness of the Western Army is based on the system of border archers - but the archers are unpaid soldiers who are built on 200-250 acres of land. So it was impossible for them to go on a long expedition. If the battlefield is far away from Shaanxi, they will hardly be useful.

In history, the Xuanhe Northern Expedition commanded by Tong Guan lost so ugly, and a big reason was that without the cooperation of archers, the combat effectiveness of the Western Army was severely reduced.

And the current Shuofang Mansion soldiers are an army that can carry out long-term expeditions!

"You say that there will be drastic changes in Liao within ten years?" Tong Guan is very interested in Valiao, "How can you see it?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "Isn't it obvious?" How sharp are those dozens of raw Jurchen knights, Tong Daguan won't know it, right? Every time the knights of the Imperial Horse Straight charged, they took the lead...... Moreover, the rotation impact combat method of the Imperial Horse Straight Knight was also taught by them.

And such cavalry, there are a full 2,000 of them according to the Tiger Water Wanyan Division! In addition, does the official know that the Goryeo people were really beaten by those birth girls? 500 defeated tens of thousands...... That's amazing! ”

Tong Guan nodded silently, he already knew about the defeat of the Koreans. Lu Qian, who stayed in Goryeo to watch the battle, arrived in front of the Shuofang army not long ago and told Tong Guan about the defeat of the Goryeo.

Although the king of Goryeo did not give up and had appointed the privy envoy Yin Qian to go on the expedition, Lu Qian believed that Yin Qian was not an opponent of the Jurchens.

In the future, what can inflict a fatal blow to the Khitan must be the birth of a Jurchen!

"Xian also and the others will go back with you?" Tong Guan asked.

"yes." Wu Haogu nodded, "Brother Zhao Zhong, Murong Parrot and the others, as well as dozens of knights, as well as the utility hired by the Jiehe, must be taken away." Without them, I wouldn't be able to do anything in Cangzhou. ”

Wu Haogu's three direct forbidden armies, Marquis Yu, also came to an end, and it was Wang Yu who succeeded him. However, Wang Yu will not get a complete Sanzhi army, not only Gao Yu has drawn some knights and warriors from it, but Wu Haogu has also pulled a group of people to the Jiehe. His official position is allowed to open the government and build a government, so he can naturally be justifiably obedient to the three direct armies and ask for transfer.

And the Three Straight Army led by Wang Yu will not stay in the northwest for long. Zhao Ji said in his edict to Tong Guan that when the Xinfu army was formed, the Sanzhi army would be transferred back to Kaifeng Mansion.

In addition, Zhao Ji did not approve the merger of Gao Yu's 500 black armor selection front cavalry into the Three Direct Army. It seems that Tong Guan can only arrange a "fiefdom" for these 500 horses in Shuofang.

Wu Haogu paused, and then said to Gao Yu and Tong Guan: "Brother Gao, Tong Daguan, why don't we jointly give the official family a new soldier in Kaifeng Mansion."

The remaining thousands of people in the Sanzhi Forbidden Army can be the foundation of the new government soldiers, and they can be manipulated, but they are tens of thousands of elite soldiers! ”

Listening to Wu Haogu's suggestion to train troops in Kaifeng Mansion, Gao Yu and Tong Guan both looked embarrassed.

That's a good thing to say. But the question is, who can preside over the training of Kaifeng Mansion? Gao Yu didn't dare to go, Tong Guan was a eunuch with no eggs, and he couldn't get involved in the troops of Kaifeng Mansion. Wu Haogu only wants Jiehe, and he doesn't want to train in Kaifeng Mansion.

Looking at the faces of the two, Wu Haogu smiled faintly, didn't mention any more stubble, just smiled and said: "Don't mention this, anyway, I can't stay in Tongwan City for a few days, and I still don't talk about business, just Fengyue!" ”

As soon as his words came to this, Lu Qian hurriedly came in from outside the door, saluted Wu Haogu and Gao Yu, and then went to Tong Guan's side and handed over a letter.

Tong Guan frowned, took the letter and opened it, "It's Shuozhou's military intelligence express!" A large number of Khitan soldiers and horses appeared north of the Yellow River, perhaps as many as tens of thousands, and many of them were armored horses! ”

Gao Yu suddenly became nervous, "The Khitans want to go to war with us?" ”

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "I am not afraid of war, now Shuozhou City has begun to take shape and can be defended." ”

Tong Guan shook his head slightly, "It may not be Shuozhou!" Maybe they're heading to the west of the river! ”
