Chapter 807: The Great Battle of Helong

Liangzhou, Hexi.

Starting from the hottest June, under the instruction of the Niu Cyclamen envoy of Jiedu, the armies under the command of Hexi Jiedu began to conduct large-scale proofreading and drills one after another. When Zhang Shuo was in power, he once dismissed the Tuntian army of up to 600,000 in Zhudabian Towns in one go, so now there are only more than 70,000 regular troops in Hexi, but almost all of them are elites who have experienced a hundred battles. After the death of Wang Junyu, the brazen attack of Tubo, and the losses during the subsequent counterattacks, these soldiers and horses have been constantly adding new blood, and this time is the same.

Even if he is not a brave general like the previous Jiedu envoys, after all, Niu Xianke has been rooted in Helong for a full thirty years, and the civilian army has an excellent reputation. The reason why Xiao Song used him as a judge of the festival was also because of his influence among the military and civilians in Hexi. At this moment, when he was parading the Chishui Army outside Liangzhou City, he climbed high and shouted, only to see thousands of troops and horses shouting to kill Zhentian, but it was full of momentum.

Yao Hong on the side looked relaxed, and was greatly envious of this majesty. You must know that compared with the Lintao army in Shanzhou City, the Chishui Army in Liangzhou City has as many as 33,000 people, and the horses are 13,000, which can be described as the first army in Helong!

After agreeing to Du Shiyi before, Niu Xianke sent another member of the Jiedu judge to inspect and review the west along the way, from the Ganzhou Jiankang Army, the Suzhou Yumen Army, and the Guazhou Moli Army, and as far as the Doulu Army in Shazhou. As for himself, he fully learned the lesson of Wang Junyu's underestimation of the enemy and was discovered by others to assassinate him, and he did not go out easily, but sat in Liangzhou City to give orders, and with his prestige for many years, it was needless to say that the order was forbidden. At this moment, he saw the Chishui Army on the high platform with a neat lineup and bright weapons, and a pleased smile appeared on his face.

"It's not in vain that after a few years of recuperation, the generals in the army are no longer as tired as before!"

"They are all well-managed, the warehouses are abundant, the armor is complete, and the neighboring major tribes are all convinced, and now the morale is high, even if Tubo commits the border, it will definitely be defeated and lost."

Although the Ushiki was known to be a peaceful boss, the shogunate officials were reluctant to make a few flattering remarks. Most of them didn't know the inside story of Du Shiyi's letter, but Yao Hong, who knew the truth, didn't feel it, but was always a little unwilling. Niu Cyclamen is above Du Shiyi in terms of seniority, age, and merit, why is he so easy to talk about when he encounters trouble, and easily agrees to Du Shiyi's suggestion? If it were replaced by a cow cyclamen to lead the matter to play the Son of Heaven, wouldn't there be one more prescient evaluation? This kind of best opportunity is gently let go, and this marshal is too unenterprising!

In the face of everyone's compliments, the cow cyclamen looked very bland: "It's all within the bounds." As for the soldiers, the murder weapon is also not allowed to be used without permission. If you can deter the enemy and surrender without a fight, it is the best! This point, since Marshal Long Youdu took office, is the best example. In the past, I was afraid that Du Dashuai was young and vigorous, and he couldn't bear the anger of the moment, but the last time Tubo crossed the border, he just ordered people to repel those soldiers and horses who crossed the border, but he never took advantage of the victory to pursue. All the kings are the ministers who guard the border for the Son of Heaven, and they should remember the truth of the murder weapon of the soldiers. ”

This admonition, because there are mostly civil officials around at the moment, most people nodded in agreement, and the few who disagreed with it would not confront it in person. And the cow cyclamen held on to the railing in front of him, thinking of the dream-like experience of the past seven or eight years, he had to admonish himself in his heart.

It is enough to be able to have today, and if you want to continue such an unexpected joy, you must be cautious and cautious. He must not forget that he is not one of those who is famous for his words or talents, he is only a small official, and he is not enough to compete with those who are born into famous families or high-ranking officials with great reputation!

When the news of the military horse parade in Liangzhou, Hexi Province reached Shanzhou, it was when the 5,000 soldiers and horses selected from the Lintao army in Huangshui City, Shanzhou were distributed to the Heyuan Army, the Anren Army and Suirong City, and the recruits were reviewed for the first time. Although it was suddenly withdrawn, it was inevitable that the generals in the army would have a little complaints, but Wang Zhonghei had a very high prestige in the army, and the military town to be transferred now was only more than 100 miles away from Huangshui City. Now, the newly replenished first batch of 2,000 soldiers has been officially injected into the Lintao army.

At this time, after being recruited into the army, the soldiers who had more or less experienced a drill talked in twos and threes, many of them were just adults and immature, of course, there were also extremely old people who were forty years old, these people were not as reckless as young people, and only occasionally whispered a few words. Two of them, about thirty and apparently familiar with each other, were talking softly while looking around.

"I didn't expect that this recruitment, in just two months, there would be so many people enlisted, I thought the government was going to arrest the strong men again."

"Don't you look at who the deputy general of the Lintao Army is now. Needless to say, General Wang is famous in the whole Helong, and even the deputy general General Nan, I heard that he has studied with several famous brave generals at the beginning of his tenure. And one of these two is strict in governing the army, and the other is lenient and treated, haven't you heard that the old pawns of the Lintao army before refused to leave at first? ”

"If it were me, I wouldn't leave. Hey, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that there had been no war in Helong in the past two years, who would have dared to come to be a soldier! The head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers, and if it is not good, even if it is not good, it will be dead. ”

"So Du Dashuai is really admirable. He was almost attacked at Chiling, but after repelling the enemy army, he did not take revenge in anger because of this. It's just to rectify the precautions and kill the young. That time, the entire loss of soldiers and horses in Shanzhou, Hezhou, Taozhou, and Kuozhou was negligible, although some people were muttering that they couldn't earn credit, but how many soldiers saved their lives? ”

As the two were talking, they only heard the continuous shouting: "The marshal is here, General Wang and General Nan have gone to greet him, all of you cheer up, don't lose the face of the Lintao army!" ”

For a while, although they were all new troops, they were not silent for a while, but they were gradually quiet. After a short time, by the time Wang Zhongsi and Nan Jiyun welcomed Du Shiyi, the entire 2,000-person campus was silent. Military law is strict, and no one wants to be punished by military law for a moment of negligence. It's just that countless pairs of eyes inevitably look at the high platform, and the people behind only hate that their eyesight is not enough, and they can't see those unattainable big people. And the people who stood at the front were secretly happy, but when they really witnessed the faces and ages of the three people in front of them, these people who could see clearly all smacked their tongues.

Not to mention the age of Du Shiyi in Longyou Jiedu for the time being, it is Wang Zhongsi and Nan Jiyun, which one is not the age of the prime? In the rest of the border towns, they may only be biased at most, how can they control an army like they are now, and the order is forbidden?

Ren Longyou has been in charge for more than two years, and Du Shiyi is not the first time to parade the army, but it is the first time to review the new army like this. He has always trusted Wang Zhonghei, and Nan Jiyun is also the person he picked up, after a cursory glance at the military appearance, he happily bowed his head and said: "But in two months, the first batch of soldiers can be completed, and they can have such spirit, loyalty, Jiyun, you two are indispensable." ”

Acknowledging and appreciating the merits of the two, he took a step forward and took a deep breath before they could speak humbly.

"Do you know what the meaning of the five words of Shanzhou Lintao Army is?" In Shanzhou, Longyou, he often reviewed the soldiers and horses under his command, met with his subordinate generals, and said that nothing else, Du Shiyi first practiced this voice and middle qi. Now in this huge school field, although he can't say a word, all the two thousand people can hear it clearly, but the voice full of energy is really penetrating, and after he asked the first sentence, he even suddenly raised his voice again, "The Lintao Army in Shanzhou is the first army of Longyou, not because there are many soldiers in Lintao, nor because of Ma Zhuang, but because they move forward one by one when they go into battle, and they have made the most achievements!" ”

With such a resounding remark as the opening sentence, he was very satisfied to see that the front row was under the small commotion, and although it quickly fell silent, many people showed excited expressions on their faces. I have to say that although since the beginning of the century, Datang has not lost a battle, and because of the defeat, there are also many generals and soldiers buried in the battlefield, but the defeat cannot withstand those world-famous victories, and those famous generals who have been promoted to the knighthood because of the great victory, as well as the officers who have benefited under the halo of these famous generals. Therefore, after Du Shiyi fully praised the glorious achievements of the Lintao Army over the years, he successfully stirred the hearts of these recruits.

As for the partial generals and colonels in the Lintao Army, and those brigade commanders who were transferred out and were about to take over the new army, they all held their heads high and were full of spirit. Because they thought that before today's review of the new army, Du Shiyi had said similar things to them when he transferred the generals of the Lintao army out of Lu.

"If it weren't for the Lintao Army, which was the first army of Longyou, from the appearance of the army to the martial arts, the archers and horses were all the best, I would not have transferred people from the Lintao Army to the front line of the Anren Army and the Heyuan Army! Good iron must be used on the blade, which can play a role in tackling tough problems! From now on, I hope to see the generals who came out of the Lintao army to become the real pillars of the other armies in Longyou, Zhenhai Stone! ”

Since the success aroused the sense of honor and emotions of the new army, Du Shiyi had no choice but to turn his attention to the praise of the saints. This is the ability of most civil officials who are self-taught, and he used it seldom in the past, but if he is not here today, he cannot omit it, but after all, he did not say a long speech for a quarter of an hour on this hot day, and after a while he finally stopped talking. Wang Zhonghe, who was on the side, understood and immediately stepped forward.

"From now on, the New Army's drills will run every day from midnight to midnight in the morning and from midnight to midnight. Ten days one comparison, thirty days one ****! ”

As Du Shiyi did, mixed into the five thousand new army, he can be regarded as truly controlling the Lintao army, and he doesn't have to worry about any more constraints!
