Chapter 391: Thirteen Battalions of the Five Armies
First of all, Liu Yin reorganized the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Shi family who were incorporated into the Shu army. You must know that Liu Yin has also recruited soldiers in Longyou, and has done a lot of fanfare and launched many new policies, but the result is only to raise more than 10,000 people, which is far from Liu Yin's original intention.
Liu Yin is also very clear that in Longyou, the most powerful is the local Shijia wealthy family, without their approval nod, those tenants and poor peasants who are attached to the Shijia do not dare to show their faces, and those recruited in advance, except for a very small number of local civilians, are mostly displaced people from other places, and there are not too many interests entangled with the local Shijia, but the real Longyou people are recruited very few.
Of course, this is related to the attitude of the wealthy family, Liu Yin once visited the Ma family, and also understood the attitude of the Ma family and even the entire Longxi Shi family, before the situation became clear, they could only watch from the wall, and there would be no other attitude.
Liu Yin also didn't expect to use force to force them to submit, and the use of tough means against the wealthy family of the Shi family was not necessarily effective, and the attitude of the Longxi Shi family was ambiguous, and he looked at it coldly, which also reflected what the Longxi Shi family held, and it was not completely hostile, as long as they showed their strong strength, they could choose to surrender.
The facts were not bad at all as Liu Yin expected, as soon as the Battle of Jieting ended, the Longxi family headed by the Ma family couldn't wait to throw an olive branch, took the initiative to show goodwill, and provided a lot of manpower and material resources to the Shu army. Because the battle of Jieting played the momentum of the Shu army, and the situation of the entire Longyou was also consolidated, at this time, the scholars of Longxi obviously understood who was the real lord of Longyou, and in order to maintain the status of the major scholars in Longyou, they naturally spared no effort to tie up Liu Yin.
Liu Yin unceremoniously accepted all the orders. Now his goal is directly aimed at Guanzhong, and he urgently needs a strong backing, a stable rear, and the Longxi family came to join at this time, which is useless for Liu Yin, so it is the icing on the cake. As for the little ninety-nine in the hearts of these scholars. Liu Yin naturally knows very well, as long as it does not hurt the overall situation, Liu Yin will never interfere with their local prestige, since it is a matter of mutual benefit and reciprocity between the two sides, it is worth making a little concession and sacrifice.
With more than 20,000 people newly joined, the total number of troops in Liu Yin's hands has exceeded 90,000, approaching the 100,000 mark. It has quietly undergone subtle changes, and as early as a month ago, Sima Wang had 100,000 troops in Chang'an, which was menacing, and Liu Yin had to fight on two fronts with more than 40,000 troops, and the situation was once extremely sinister.
However, after the battle of Jieting, the situation in the entire Guanlong was completely reversed, and the Sima Wang Corps, which suffered a great defeat, fled east in disarray. The high-morale Shu army ushered in its heyday, laying a solid foundation for the next step in entering Guanzhong.
What makes Liu Yin more relieved is. Most of the troops provided by the soldiers in Longxi are the private troops of each family, although they have not been on the battlefield of the two armies, but the Yongliang area has never been peaceful, in the battle with the wandering and plundering Qianghu barbarians, these private soldiers still have a lot of combat experience, but also save a lot of drill steps.
Liu Yin reorganized the army. Except for Yao Yikang's 30,000 Qiang cavalry, which was used as an assistant army and was not within the scope of the organization, the remaining 60,000 or so troops were reorganized, expanding from the original left, center, and right armies to the front, rear, left, right, and middle five armies.
Liu Yin appointed Fu Yan, the governor of Guanzhong and the general of the town army, as the former protector, and the front army consisted of three battalions: Wudang Left Battalion, Wudang Right Battalion and Yang'an Battalion. After the street kiosk. Liu Yin mixed the Wudang battalion and the Qiang barracks, and then divided into the Wudang left battalion and the Wudang right battalion, the Zhonglang of the Wudang left battalion was still served by Zhao Zhuolai, the Zhonglang of the Wudang right battalion would be served by Ma Ronglai, and the original team of the Yang'an battalion remained unchanged, and Zhang Le was still the Zhonglang general.
Huang Chong, the general of the Yi Army, was reappointed as the Left Protector Army, responsible for commanding the Left Army, with two battalions: the Yong'an Battalion and the White Emperor Battalion. The Left Army was basically the original team of the original Right Army, and Luo Xi and Zhuge Shang still served as lieutenant generals of the two battalions.
General Jingyuan, Longxi Taishou Zhihong served as the right guard, commanding the right army, Zhenyuan general, Tianshui Taishou Wang Qi served as the rear guard, commanding the rear army, the right army and the rear army respectively set up two battalions, the Longyou Shijia provided most of the troops to enrich the right army and the rear army, plus the original county soldiers of Longxi and Tianshui, the whole into four new field battalions.
In order to prepare for the next move, Liu Yin specially distinguished the garrison and the field soldiers, and the county soldiers of each county still maintained the scale of about one to two thousand people per county, and although the two of them still held the positions of Longxi Taishou and Tianshui Taishou, at the same time, after the two of them served as the right protector and the rear guard, they would participate in the war against Guanzhong, and the county affairs were represented by the county Cheng of the county.
The second battalion of the right army, named Longxi Camp and Jincheng Battalion, and the second battalion of the rear army, named Tianshui Battalion and Nan'an Battalion, are all the names of Longxi County, and the source of the soldiers is also the people of Longyou County, which makes people feel more cordial.
The Chinese army is personally commanded by Liu Yin, with four battalions: the left battalion of the tiger cavalry, the right battalion of the tiger cavalry, the left battalion of the tiger step, and the right battalion of the tiger step. And the Chinese army has undoubtedly become the core of the overall strength of the Shu army.
After the reorganization, the lack of personnel in each battalion has been supplemented, and after the victory in the battle of Jieting, the Shu army is even more morale-high, high-spirited, and strong. This hearty victory, greatly encouraged the morale of the Shu army, to gain a firm foothold in Longxi, Liu Yin led the army to create a brilliant victory, that is, even Zhuge Wuhou has never reached, which undoubtedly made the self-confidence of the Shu army soldiers reached the level of explosion, the next battle of Guanzhong, everyone is full of confidence.
Liu Yin is very satisfied with the current state of the army, and not only the improvement of morale, but also the strength of the army makes Liu Yin even more ambitious.
Thirteen battalions of the five armies, a full 65,000 men and horses, plus 30,000 Qiang cavalry, Liu Yin has three times the number of troops when he went out of Nanzhong, which is undoubtedly breathtaking.
Liu Yin has reached a height that the ancestors of Shu have never reached, and he has to move towards a higher peak. (To be continued.) )
