【Chapter 362】 Pacifying Xiliang (II)
After a little look at the generals who were fighting in front of him, Li Li was quite surprised.
Jin Yiwei is a pro-soldier battalion that follows him all the year round, and nearly 100 generals above the commander level of the battalion are personally appointed by him, without exception. Moreover, the martial arts and military strategies of these generals have been strictly examined, and their backgrounds and relatives have been recorded in detail, which must be submitted to him for personal inspection, and only after his permission can they officially enter Jin Yiwei and appoint their positions.
After these generals received the appointment, they also needed to thank him in person, that is, Li Li had to recognize his face and see what he looked like and what his name was. Even if he doesn't remember his name in the future, at least he looks familiar and knows that there is such a general in his own military camp.
In the entire Xiliang army, only Jin Yiwei has the strictest requirements and is also the most valued by Li Li. Li Li did not participate in the selection of middle- and low-ranking generals of other battalions, from selection to assessment and even the determination of candidates, and he would not inquire about them until the commanders of each battalion submitted the list of promotions. Most of the generals directly appointed by him are positions above the commander of a thousand commanders, and they must go through a strict assessment before being appointed, and the whole process is supervised by General Jin Yiwei, and finally handed over to him, and he can only officially take office after his approval.
However, the marquis-level general of the Jin Qi Guard Army in front of him was extremely strange, and Li Li was sure that he had never seen this person before. Because he has an excellent memory, he may not remember other complicated and tedious things very clearly, but his ability to observe and remember people is extremely strong, and he almost never forgets it. But any general appointed by him himself, he only needs to meet once, and after that he will remember it firmly. Even though there was a long time and too many people, he could not remember the full names of the generals, but he could still remember their surnames, their origins, and the positions they held under the commander's account.
This. Li Li firmly believes that he is quite conceited about his eyes, and he will never recognize the wrong person.
Carefully searching the impressions of this person in his mind, but never found anything, prompting Li Li to wonder if he was too forgetful to even know the generals around him. But after repeated recollections, he still couldn't match this person with the general in his memory. So he finally determined that the person who fought with the enemy general before the battle was indeed a general Jin Yiwei that he had never seen before, but how did this person enter Jin Yiwei and serve as a military marquis?
Jin Yiwei's five chief and deputy commanders, Li Zhi, Dian Wufang, Zhang Liao, Hu Che'er and Huang Zhong, who made the person in front of him serve as a military marquis?
While thinking secretly in his heart, Li Li couldn't help but squint his eyes. Once again, he focused on the Marquis of the Golden Lion Guard in front of the battle.
After careful observation, Li Li found that although this person looked like a Qianghu person and was not good at riding, his martial arts were indeed extremely extraordinary, and the weapons he used were extremely rare.
But I saw that his person was holding a pair of rather heavy short-handled mountain axes. The dance is dense and impermeable, and the cold light of the double axe faintly surrounds the body to form a ubiquitous circle of both offense and defense. Do not give the enemy generals any opportunity to take advantage of at all. Despite the fact that he is extremely poor at riding. The speed of returning to the horse and sprinting is far less fast than that of the enemy general, and he does not give full play to the powerful impact of the mount under his crotch at all, but the two short-handled Kaishan Yue in his hand are very flexible, and the moves are strange and calm, and the momentum is heavy, so that the enemy general does not dare to collide with him head-on. It has never been able to break through the axe light defense circle around him, giving people a sense of invulnerability.
Correspondingly, the enemy general in front of the battle is not a mediocre hand. I saw that this enemy general was more than eight feet tall and wore dark gray armor. The appearance is Zhouzheng, the face of the square Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, the corners of the face have a mustache, the chin has a black beard more than an inch long, the face is quite majestic, and the expression is resolute and calm. Moderately physical, not fat or thin, his arms are slightly slender, which can be described as an ape arm bee waist, and he can fight for so long with the generals under Li Li who are armed with heavy weapons and open mountains, which shows that his strength is outstanding, and his martial arts should not be underestimated.
However, when this person fought with the generals under Li Li, he obviously suffered a big loss in Liliang, so he repeatedly relied on his skillful riding skills to avoid real and attack the weak, trying to consume the strength of the Shuangyue generals and wait for an opportunity to win. It's just that the general under Li Li has a long breath, even if he is limited by his own poor riding skills, every time he falls behind, he can reverse the unfavorable situation with one shot, and strike later. He didn't need to rely on the power of his mount at all, and he was able to steadily suppress the attack of the enemy general of the Bazi Hu with his own liliang, as if he was invincible. If his riding skills were a little better, it would not be difficult to defeat the Bazi Hu enemy, and he could even win easily.
After many observations, Li Li couldn't help but bow his head slightly, his eyes showed a strong look of appreciation, and he habitually curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a knowing smile.
For those who are familiar with Li Li's temper, it is not difficult to see that Li Li is actually a little overjoyed at this time, obviously he admires the Jin Liwei general who fought in front of the battle. It's a pity that Li Zhi, Dian Wuflawless, Jia Xu and others are not here at the moment, so no one can understand the true intention of Li Li's expression.
"Wen Yuan, what is the name of this general who uses a short-handled mountain, this general can't even remember for a while which of your commanders is the military marquis?" Li Li looked at his own generals in front of the formation, and asked Zhang Liao beside him in a low voice.
After Zhang Liao heard this, he didn't think much about it at all, and he didn't realize what it meant for the lord Li Li to not know his own generals in front of him. He said without thinking: "My lord, this person is a military marquis under the command of Li Zhi, named Hu Zheng, without a table, now twenty-one years old, from Beidi County, Liangzhou. He was earlier the commander of the tun under General Li Dao, and temporarily served as a flag officer during the Great War in the southern suburbs, responsible for guarding the commander's flag of the Chinese army. In that battle, Li Zhi led a lone horse into the Chinese army, and fought with Hu Zheng for eight rounds before defeating him and taking the handsome banner, thus prompting General Li Zhi to withdraw his troops and admit defeat.
After the war, when the whole army was broken up and reorganized, Hu Zheng broke into the Jin Qiwei military camp alone, claiming that he was willing to gamble and lose, asked to meet Commander Li Zhi, and was willing to follow the commander for life. Afterwards, Commander Li Zhi confirmed what he said, and left him in the battalion, and appointed him as a military marquis after the reorganization of the whole army, and he is currently the captain of Li Zhi's personal army.
Two months ago, word of mouth came from the villagers that the master who taught him martial arts had died of illness, so he had been absent from the barracks for the past two months, and had taken leave to go back to handle his master's funeral. It wasn't until the eve of the army's westward march that he returned to the barracks, and today was his first battle after joining Jin Yiwei. Before he asked Ying to fight into Gongying, the last general knew that he had just entered the military camp and was eager to make meritorious contributions. And they allowed him to go into battle. ”
Zhang Liao told in detail how Hu Zheng entered Jin Yiwei, and according to the truth, he did not hide it at all.
In fact, it was only after Zhang Liao spoke that he realized that the main prince Li Li's inquiry was quite meaningful. Otherwise, Jin Yiwei is the lord's personal barracks, and he is an absolute descendant, how could he not know the military marquis around him?
Because of this, Zhang Liao introduced Hu Zheng in detail, telling the truth, without any personal opinions.
"Hu Zheng? It turned out to be him! After Li Li listened to Zhang Liao's report. responded casually with a smile on his face, and nodded again and again, without hiding his importance to Hu Zheng in his expression.
Indeed, Li Li had really heard of this name before, and Hu Zheng's position as a military marquis was indeed appointed by him personally. At the time of the great reorganization of the whole army. He was busy all day long, staying in the barracks for a long time. Li Zhi reported to him when he promoted Hu Zheng. He casually agreed, and then put the matter behind him.
It happened that Hu Zheng had something to go out again, and he missed the meeting of the generals after the reorganization, so Li Li had never seen Hu Zheng and had no impression of him at all.
After figuring out what happened, Li Li smiled indifferently. Turning his head to Zhang Liao, he asked, "What does Wen Yuan think of Hu Zheng's martial arts?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly remembered something again, and then asked, "Uh, that's right." You just said that the enemy who fought against Hu Zheng would be Cheng Gongying? ”
Zhang Liao naturally knew the priorities, and immediately said respectfully: "What the lord said is good. The enemy general who played against Hu Zheng before the battle was Cheng Gongying. His surname is Chenggong, Mingying, a native of Jincheng, and Han Sui's henchman. This person is not famous, he once served as Han Sui's military advisor, and after being suspicious of Han Sui, he was demoted to an infantry captain. Before, the last general thought that he was a weak scribe, but now it seems that this person is Yunwen Yunwu, and his martial arts are extremely strong, and he has entered the top general sequence. But after all, he is not good at martial arts, although he can fight with Hu Zheng with his riding skills, but he is not Hu Zheng's opponent after all, and he will be defeated sooner or later!
On the other hand, Hu Zheng is good at foot combat, and has been a pawn under General Li Dao for several years, and ordinary soldiers have been doing it for five or six years, and after being promoted to the commander of the tun, he is still in the infantry battalion, and rarely has the opportunity to go out on horseback. Now that he has entered Jin Yiwei, our battalion is a cavalry battalion, one person and two horses, and Hu Zheng has been on leave for more than two months before, so his riding skills are indeed a little unsatisfactory. However, he is highly skilled in martial arts, and with more practice, he will be able to practice superb riding skills in less than three months. ”
Li Li naturally knew that Zhang Liaoming seemed to be dissatisfied with Hu Zheng's lame riding skills, but in fact, he was excusing Hu Zheng, for fear that he would be unhappy because of Hu Zheng's poor riding skills.
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, Li Li said with a hearty smile: "No one is perfect, the moon is full, how can things in the world be perfect." There is a sentence in Wen Yuan's words that is indeed in one sentence. The Jin Qi Guard Battalion is full of cavalry, and its combat power is quite strong, but it acts as the general's personal battalion, which is a bit nondescript and does not do its best! After pacifying Liangzhou, Jin Yiwei still needs to expand by 5,000 to 10,000 foot soldiers to serve as daily guards. However, the foot soldiers must also be proficient in horsemanship, and the infantry army is also a cavalry when it is critical, and it happens that Jin Yiwei is a double horse, so there is no need to choose another war horse.
As for Hu Zheng, after the war, he was reappointed as an infantry marquis, but he had to practice his riding skills well in case of emergency. My Xiliang generals and generals above Sima are all proficient in horsemanship, and Hu Zheng is no exception.
In addition, the generals of our army must also learn the nature of water, and when they conquer the southern states and counties in the future, how can they be afraid of seasickness as a general! Wen Yuan can spread this word loudly, let the generals in the army practice water as soon as possible, and in the future, every summer, our army's training will increase diving practice, and I will then hand it over to the military division to be responsible for implementation. However, some older generals are not reluctant if they insist on not going into the water, but most generals and soldiers must be familiar with the nature of the water. It's always haode to learn more skills, and maybe you can use it when you can use it. Hehehe———"
Zhang Liao opened his mouth in shock, stunned, and only woke up after a while, and hurriedly responded: "What the lord said is extremely true." The last general is rude, ashamed, and then he must convey the lord's order to all the generals in the army! ”
"Haha!" When Li Li heard that he was hahadaxiao, he didn't care about Zhang Liao's speech that the proposal was a general's speech. And the reason why he spoke out was not only for this, but also because Hu Zheng defeated Cheng Gongying in front of the battle.
Cheng Gongying's defeat meant that the remnants of Jincheng Zuihou's resistance soldiers and horses had completely lost their fighting spirit, and the army's morale was chaotic and morale was low, so it was impossible to be defeated.
The defeat of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Cheng Gongying directly announced the complete end of the Battle of Jincheng, and Jincheng County and the counties of Anding, Tianshui and Longyou under the control of Han Sui were all included under Li Li's rule.
So far, Li Li's westward expedition has initially achieved its strategic goals.
As Ma Teng bowed his head and surrendered, Han Sui died, and the two largest princes who had been entrenched in Xiliang for many years were destroyed one after another, which had already laid the overall situation of Li Li's army to pacify the two states of Xiliang. Subsequently, Li Li only needed to rectify the rule of the county officials, eliminate the bandits and the remnants of the rogues, and the two prefectures of Xiliang would be peaceful.
One step is to divide troops to garrison the border of Xiliang and Xiliang, waiting for an opportunity to sweep up the surrounding foreign barbarian tribes, consolidate the achievements of pacifying Xiliang, in order to finally suppress the barbarians entrenched in Huangzhong and Hetao, and stabilize the rear of Xiliang. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
