————————————

In the evening, the deliberations of the Shuaifu ended.

Under the light, a group of Xiliang civil and military officers left the main hall one after another and slowly walked towards the door of the mansion.

What is surprising is that the atmosphere after today's deliberations is obviously different from the past, and both civilian officials and military generals seem to be preoccupied, and there is no longer the scene of traveling together in three or five days in the past.

More than 300 people walked down the jade steps one after another, no one spoke, but they couldn't help but look back, looking at the main hall that was already empty, and the general who had long since left.

At this moment, although the deliberations were over, their minds were still stuck in the main hall, and a general order from the lord Li Li just now still lingered in their ears and filled their hearts.

And this general order is the source of their troubles, or it is a military order from the lord Li Li, which makes their hearts fluctuate and it is difficult to calm down for a long time.

Until this moment, Li Li's resounding general order was still in his ears: "The rotation of the generals of each battalion will start on the same day, and the main combat battalion of the whole army will be expanded to 15 battalions.

Flying Bear Heavy Armored Cavalry Battalion, the main general is Huan Fei, the deputy general is Xu Ding, and the Zhonglang general He Man; It has 30,000 heavy armored iron cavalry, and a total of 5,000 auxiliary soldiers for baggage and miscellaneous service, and the formation will be completed within two years from now on.

Jin Yiwei Janissary Battalion, the main general commanded Li Zhi, promoted to the general of the Protector Army, and the rank was the same as that of General Si'an; Deputy commanders Chen Dao and Shi A, the whole battalion was full of 30,000 cavalry.

Long Xiang Battalion, the main general Ma Chao, the deputy commander Li Dian, the Zhonglang general Meng Da, and the general Ma Tie.

Wuwei battalion, the main general commanded Zhang Liao. Deputy General Dong Yue, promoted to General Li Feng, entered the Marquis of Jue Ting. The rank is the same as that of General Siping.

Huben battalion, the main general commanded Dian Wei, and the deputy general Cheng Gongying, promoted to General Fubo, and gave the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Qinglong Battalion, the main general is Xu Chu, and the deputy general is Pang De. He was promoted to the backbone general, entered the Marquis of Duting, and was ranked the same as General Siping.

Peerless Iron Cavalry Battalion. The main general is Zhao Yun, the deputy general Ma Dai is promoted to the general of the thief, and the Zhonglang general Xiahou Lan.

Camp Shuofeng. The main general is Zhou Yu. The deputy general and deputy commander went to humility, promoted to the general of the Yue cavalry, and gave the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Feiyan light cavalry battalion, the main general Zhang Yan, promoted to the general of the cavalry, entered the palace marquis; Deputy commander and guerrilla general Xu Huang, Zhonglang general Wang Dang and Sun Qing.

The soldiers of the above nine battalions are all war cavalry, forming the Xiliang War Cavalry Regiment. Each battalion is full of 30,000 war cavalry, and it is better to have a shortage than an abundance. It can be completed in two years.

Infantry Army: Wushu Battalion, the main general Xu Rong, the deputy commander Cheng Yi, Yin Yu, Zheng Gu, Zhonglang General He Yi, Guo Huai, under the jurisdiction of eight generals and fourteen captains; The whole battalion was full of 50,000 soldiers.

Wuwei Battalion, the main general is in charge of Bocai, the deputy generals are Ban, Yang Qiu, Tie Yu, Zhonglang General Hao Zhao, and 22 generals and captains, which are equivalent to the military battalion, with a full strength of 50,000 soldiers.

Trapped in the camp, the main general Gao Shun, the deputy general, the general Hu Che'er, the Zhonglang general Huan Wolf, Huan Leopard and other ten generals, under the jurisdiction of 20,000 heavy armored infantry troops.

Qin Gong Battalion, the main general Huang Zhong, the deputy general, Hengye General Cao Xing, the rebellious general Ma Play, under the jurisdiction of ten generals and captains, full of 20,000 soldiers.

Flying Eagle Guard, that is, Eagle Eye Meticulous, the left commander An Han general Yan Xing, and the right commander An Guo general Wang Yue. (Number unknown).

The Jinfan Battalion of the Navy was formed, with the main general under the command and the general Gan Ning of Hengjiang, and the generals Gan Wu and Gan Wen, with a provisional number of 10,000 soldiers.

The above is the main battalion of the 15th battalion, with a huge lineup, with an estimated strength of 420,000 (except for the Eagle Eye), in fact, only half of the existing soldiers and horses, and more than 200,000 are full. The huge number of vacancies of soldiers and horses requires that the battalion commanders will successively replenish their troops and horses within two years, and achieve full strength after two years.

County soldiers: four main generals: Li Xian, Teng Xiao, Fan Yong, Guo Yan; There are six deputy commanders: Teng Yu, Tatar, Tietuo, Meng Chong, Li Zheng and Jin Gu, and the remaining Zhonglang generals: Li Meng, Liang Xing, Huan Zhong, Huan Yi, Ma Xiu, Huan Shuang, Huan Quan and other more than 60 middle-level generals. The soldiers of the county government were divided into five divisions, namely the Bingzhou Division, the Yongzhou Division, the Liangzhou Division, the Shuozhou Division, and the Jingzhao Sanfu, with a total of 180,000 soldiers. ”

This is the reorganization order from Li Li's mouth, the entire Xiliang Army has more than 600,000 troops, but the existing strength is less than 500,000, and the good and bad are uneven, and they need to be re-screened and screened before they can become an army. This means that according to Li Li's huge plan, the existing army shortage is nearly 200,000, and the Xiliang Army is bound to recruit troops and buy horses in the next two years, and expand the army on a large scale again after three years.

It is not difficult to see from this reorganization order that among the two major infantry and cavalry corps of the Xiliang Army, this time the emphasis was on strengthening the strength of the infantry army, and a large number of generals were transferred into the infantry sequence. Subsequently, the infantry army was expanded from the original 100,000 soldiers and horses to 150,000, and priority was given to replenishing troops, striving to reach full strength in the near future. At the same time, in accordance with Li Li's intentions, the cavalry battalion postponed the replenishment of troops, preferring to be short rather than excessive, and the battalion commanders and lieutenant generals recruited cavalry on their own to fill the vacancy in the following two years.

In addition, after the reorganization of the army, among the nine major cavalry battalions, only Huan Fei, the commander of the Flying Bear Battalion, Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Yiwei, Ma Chao, the commander of the Long Xiang Battalion, and Dian Wei, the commander of the Tiger Battalion, continued to remain in office, and the commanders of the other five major cavalry battalions were all transferred out, and all of them were replaced. The new five tiger generals, Zhou Yu and Zhang Liao and other seven people each led a battalion of men, on the contrary, the original seven main generals were all transferred to the county army as commanders and deputy commanders, which was equivalent to directly leaving the main camp and becoming marginal generals in name only.

Is this unloading the mill to kill the donkey, or is the rabbit dead and the dog cooking?

Why did the lord Li Li give such an unreasonable military order, and what was his real intention?

However, in the just-concluded deliberations of the Marshal's Mansion, Li Li did not leave too much time for his subordinates to think about it, and after the promulgation of the military adjustment order, it was followed by the general order to transfer troops and send generals.

"The army of the county government is divided into five divisions, except for the Pingbei generals Talu and Li Meng who led 20,000 soldiers and horses into Shuozhou County, the remaining 160,000 soldiers and horses are divided into four, each with 40,000 soldiers and horses, respectively, led by Teng Xiao, Guo Yan, Fan Yong and Li Xian.

Teng Xiao, the general of Zhenbei, led 40,000 troops to be stationed in Bingzhou, and Tie Xiao and Guo Meng were deputy generals, stationed in Bingzhou, and the commander-in-chief was stationed in Bingzhou, and the general leader was in charge of the defense and border security of Bingzhou.

Zhenxi general Guo Yan stationed in Jincheng, Pingxi general Teng Yu as the deputy general, under the jurisdiction of the general Liang Xing and other more than ten generals, commanding 40,000 troops to defend Liangzhou.

Zhennan general Li Xian led 20,000 troops to Fufeng County, and deputy general Duan Xuan led 20,000 troops to garrison Chang'an to ensure the defense of Jingzhao Sanfu.

Anxi general Fan Yong was the main general, and the general Tie Tuo was the deputy general, leading 40,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Yongzhou.

General Zhenwei Meng Chong was the lord of Hugh Tu City, and Huan Zhong and Huan Yi were deputy generals, stationed at Hugh Tu Horse Farm; Xuanwei general Li Zheng served as the lord of Wushuang City, and Huan Shuang and Huan Quan were deputy generals, stationed at Wushuang Racecourse. These two horse farms and cities originally had thousands of soldiers and horses stationed all year round, so they only needed to take up their posts without having to move their troops and horses. ”

“?????? In addition, the Flying Bear Battalion was stationed in Lantian Camp, the Wuwei Battalion was stationed in Shangdang County, Bingzhou, the Huben Battalion was stationed in Yiwu, and the Qinglong Battalion was stationed in Xingyang Battalion; The infantry army Wuwei battalion was garrisoned in Tongguan by Bocai, the military battalion was stationed in Hanyang, and the remaining battalions all gathered in Liangzhou, reorganized the army, and went to fight in Hanzhong Zhanglu after a month's rest! ”

After issuing successive orders, Li Li did not give his subordinates a chance to negotiate, and immediately got up and left. The military order is like a mountain, there is no doubt, and at this point, the affairs of the marshal's mansion are over.

Seeing the lord Li Lilong walking into the back hall, a group of Xiliang civil and military officers slowly got up and left with questions, their hearts were full of countless doubts, but they could not be answered. Therefore, everyone looked back at the main hall of the Great General's Mansion step by step, and they really couldn't understand what led to such a huge reform.

However, this does not mean that they are dissatisfied with their own masters. On the contrary, the civil and military generals who were ordered to participate in the deliberations today were rewarded more than expected, and in addition to being promoted to the rank of knight, Li Li also rewarded them with a large amount of gold and silver treasures and newly built mansions, as well as thousands of handsome and graceful beauties. The magnitude and scope of the reward were unprecedented, and it was actually the most generous reward for meritorious deeds since Li Li took power. It is said that hundreds of mansions have been built on the barren land in Beicheng, all of which are new-style buildings, three-story attics, and four courtyards.

Therefore, a group of civil and military officials had no reason to be dissatisfied with the lord Li Li, and the people who were really treated unfairly were Teng Xiao, Guo Yan, Fan Yong, Teng Yu, Li Zheng, Li Meng, Liang Xing and Tatar Lu and a large number of generals who were the first to follow Li Li to conquer the Quartet. This time, they were nominally promoted to the rank of knight, and their rank was the same as that of Jiuqing, which can be described as a success, but in fact they were in name only, and they were completely squeezed out of the main camp and reduced to the border generals. However, what puzzled everyone was that when everyone was complaining for them, Teng Xiao, Guo Yan, Teng Yu, Duan Xuan and others looked calm, their expressions were calm, and they seemed extremely calm, as if they were all expected, and they showed a gesture of gladly accepting.

It is precisely because of the extremely strange behavior of these excluded generals that a group of colleagues feel depressed, and they are obviously full of suspicion, but it is inconvenient to speak, lest the inappropriate words touch the sensitive nerves of these frustrated generals, and then invite unwarranted disasters and find themselves bored.

Unlike most of the military generals of Wenchen, Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia, Lu Su and Zhou Yu and a few others seemed very relaxed, because a big stone that had been pressing on their hearts for a long time was finally about to be removed. Although there were not many of them who knew the reason, and only one person was really involved, this did not prevent them from seeing some clues from the series of arrangements made by their lords, and this was also an important suggestion that they had proposed to Li Li many times. It had been put aside by Li Li before, but this time it was officially put on the table, and finally began to arrange the overall situation.

It's just that the magnitude of the readjustment of the army this time and the thoroughness of the mobilization are far beyond the expectations of Jia Xu, Li Ru, Lu Su and others. They originally thought that it would be enough for Teng Xiao, Teng Yu, Tatar and others to guard the border, but they didn't think that a group of old Western Liang generals such as Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Li Meng, and Li Zheng and the descendants of the lord Li Li were also among the adjustments, and it seemed that they had been instructed before and fully agreed to this arrangement.

It was precisely because of the active cooperation of these readjusted generals that this subversive military reform was carried out smoothly, and although it was unexpected, it did not cause turmoil, and everything was gradually implemented within a controllable range.
