【Chapter 332】 The Great Reorganization Army (continued)

Since Li Li publicly announced the reorganization of the whole army in the wilderness of the South Gate, the vigorous large-scale reorganization movement began.

After receiving the military order, the entire Xiliang Army immediately took action, and the whole army was scattered and mixed.

The appointment of generals was top-down, and the reorganization of the army was bottom-up, and the whole process was led by the Wuwei Army and the main generals of the Xiliang Army who continued to be retained, and Li Xuan, Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Jin Yiwei under Li Zhi were in charge of supervision.

As a result, an unprecedented reorganization movement was being carried out in an orderly manner, and all the close ministers around Li Li were very busy, and even Dian Wuflaw rushed from Yiwu to participate in the reorganization of the army.

However, while everyone was busy running thin legs, Li Li was idle and had nothing to do. He wandered around the major military camps with a pair of personal soldiers all day long, looking east and west, and occasionally chatting with the soldiers. He often lived in the barracks, ate and slept with ordinary soldiers, without a little arrogance, with a gentle tone and a warm smile. Chatting with the soldiers, he often spoke freely, talking about the heavens and the earth, up to the Son of Heaven and down to the common people, he could say whatever he wanted, and there were no taboos.

Although many soldiers still had scruples and did not dare to speak rashly, Li Li often spoke first and talked about some topics that the soldiers were interested in. After the conversation box was opened, the soldiers were no longer restrained, often asking some weird questions, and even asking him how to find a good daughter-in-law. For this kind of topic, Li Li can definitely be regarded as an expert, spitting everywhere, speaking extremely carefully, listening to the soldiers nodding their heads, admired, and admired him very much.

With the first witty chat, it spread throughout the military camps in the blink of an eye. As a result, the soldiers liked to talk to Li Li. And Li Li stayed in the barracks of the former Xiliang Army for the longest time, and spent a lot less time in the Wuwei barracks. However, no matter which barracks he went to, he was the most popular among the soldiers.

The current reorganization of the whole army has completely broken down all obstacles between the two armies. Li Li appeased the ordinary soldiers with one hand, and forced the disbanding and mixed reorganization of each battalion with the other. All those who resist or generals will be dismissed from office on the spot, and at worst, they will be beheaded for public display, and they will be killed as an example.

When there was resistance and contradictions in the process of reorganization, the importance of Li Li's speech in the wilderness of the South Gate was reflected. Many Xiliang generals were reluctant to hand over their military power, let alone accept orders for demotion and transfer, but they soon found that their soldiers were not willing to follow him to resist at all, or flee the barracks to occupy the mountain as king. For this reason, some generals did not hesitate to use both grace and might. He tried to mobilize his soldiers to follow him, but unfortunately he was then denounced by the soldiers, so that his head fell to the ground and he died. There are not a few Xiliang generals with different thoughts like this, as many as hundreds of people. But they all failed without exception.

When no one at all levels dared to resist, they realized that the soldiers under their command trusted their lord Li Li. Most of the soldiers were die-hard members of Li Li. The root of this lies in. The three military orders issued by Li Li in public at the all-army reorganization meeting were extremely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the second military order in particular made the officers and men of the whole army willing to die for him. Because if the soldiers died in battle, or died to defend Li Li's generals, then he was a martyr, and his family and children were guaranteed to live, and his son could still read and write or learn the art of war.

That's one alone. It is enough to make the soldiers yearn for it, because most of the soldiers are old and coarse, and it is impossible to become a general if they join the army and fight in a lifetime, but if his son can enter the martial arts hall. Then it is possible to worship the marquis and shine on the lintel. In this way, if the generals in the army want to betray Li Li, they must be careful, and they must not leak the news, otherwise it will be easy to move their heads, and they will not know how they died when they die.

Li Li's three military orders are too bewitching, the effect is remarkable, and the impact is extremely far-reaching. More than 200,000 soldiers knew these three military orders, and they also knew Li Li himself, and they all believed that Li Li would not break his word and would definitely do what he said. In this way, it is really not easy for the generals in the army to train some descendants, and it is difficult to succeed without a few years of work. The most important thing is that it is very difficult to appoint generals in the lineage, and low-level generals below the commander level must go through an open competition and selection before they can take office. In this way, as long as he cannot control the middle and senior generals in the army, it is impossible to control the entire battalion, let alone the rapid promotion of low-level generals.

——————————————

The reorganization of the whole army is in full swing and steadily advancing, and after the selection of low-level generals below the commander level is completed, it will be the turn of the middle- and high-ranking generals of each battalion to appear.

This time, the whole army was divided into two major arms, infantry and cavalry. The infantry army is divided into two categories: the county soldiers and the main infantry army, and the cavalry is light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

The county soldiers, also known as the county soldiers, are the soldiers who are responsible for defending the city on a daily basis, while some of the old, weak and disabled county soldiers are tuntian soldiers, who are responsible for growing grain and vegetables in the fields of military reclamation. At present, there are 40,000 county soldiers in Chang'an City, with Tie Tuo, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, as the commander, Wang Fang and Huan Quan as the deputy commanders, and the remaining 40,000 troops are all transferred by the commanders in the Wuwei infantry battalion, and the other generals at all levels in the battalion are also transferred by the low-level generals of the Wuwei Army. And most of these 40,000 county soldiers were the subordinates of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and after the death of the main general, they dispersed in a hurry. Now these 40,000 soldiers are all county soldiers, responsible for taking over the responsibility of defending the city of Zhang Liao's department, stationed in the counties around Chang'an, and defending the imperial city.

The main battle infantry army currently has three battalions, namely the Warrior Battalion, the Trap Camp and the Baggage Battalion.

There are 60,000 soldiers in the Wushu camp, and the commander has set up two commanders on the left and right, Xu Rong on the left, Bocai on the right, and Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Yang Qiu, Huan Shuang and Cao Xing on the right. The main force of the Wushu battalion is 15,000 pikemen, which can be called dead soldiers, and is based on the giant shield soldiers under the command of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and after joining thousands of Wuwei foot soldiers and death row prisoners, they form this most powerful thug army. Xu Rong personally led 20,000 foot soldiers, and the remaining five deputy commanders each led 5,000 soldiers and horses; Cao Xuan led 5,000 crossbowmen, Yang Qiu was in charge of more than 5,000 crossbow soldiers, Hu Zhen was in charge of 5,000 people, Yang Ding had 5,000 siege soldiers, and Huan had 5,000 catapult soldiers in his hands.

The trap camp has 5,000 heavily armored foot soldiers, based on the original 700 trap camp soldiers, expanded into a battalion of men. The commander is Gao Shun, who has disappeared for a long time, and the deputy commanders are Cheng Yi and Hu Zheng. At present, Cheng Yi temporarily took over the camp, Gao Shun has not appeared, and Hu Zheng is the person recommended by Li Zhi, and Li Li readily agreed. So Hu Zheng, who was originally unknown, ascended to the sky in one step, from a standard-bearer to an upstart in the army, serving as the deputy commander of the trapped camp.

There are 20,000 horses in the baggage battalion, and the commander is transferred from Li Dian, the defender of Hutu City, and the deputy commander is Huan Zhong and Huan Yi, two sworn brothers. This army is not a pure baggage army, let alone a weak brigade composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled, but a very strong infantry army. Based on the Wuwei infantry soldiers, it was compiled into thousands of parts under Duan Xuan's tent, and finally formed this army.

The newly formed Xiliang cavalry is undoubtedly the most powerful army in the entire Xiliang army, and it is also the most complex team. There were six battalions of light cavalry and one battalion of heavy cavalry, a total of seven cavalry battalions, with a total of 120,000 iron cavalry.

The light cavalry battalions were the Tiger Battalion, the Wuwei Battalion, the Qinglong Battalion, the Jin Yiwei, the Long Xiang Battalion, and the Wushuang Iron Cavalry.

The commander of the Tiger Ben Battalion had a total of 30,000 war cavalry, the commander was Dian Wei, and the deputy commanders were Tatar, Duan Xuan and Li Meng, consisting of 15,000 original Tiger Camp cavalry, 10,000 Xiutu Iron Cavalry and 5,000 Pegasus Battalion. Li Li considered that Duan Xuan was the first Xiliang general to surrender on his own initiative, so he had to give up his original intention of letting him fight the border, put him in the Huben camp, and put the steady and careful Tatar Lu next to Dian Wei as his deputy. In this way, no matter how much Duan Xuan had in his heart, it would be in vain.

The Wuwei battalion is also 30,000 cavalry, consisting of 15,000 cavalry of the original Huben battalion, 8,000 cavalry of the Wuwei battalion and 7,000 cavalry of the Hu Zhen Division. The commander is Teng Xiao, and the deputy commanders are Tie Xiao, Guo Meng and Jin Gu. It is precisely because most of this cavalry is composed of Xiliang cavalry, so Li Li transferred the old and serious Teng Xiao to serve as the main general, and asked Zhang Liao to assist him, so that nothing could be lost.

The Qinglong Battalion has a total of 20,000 iron cavalry, which is based on the 5,000 headquarters of the Qinglong Battalion, plus 7,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Guo Yan and 8,000 war cavalry surrendered. The commander of this battalion is Guo Yan, and the deputy commanders are Pang De and Ma Chao, a veritable three-member tiger general. Speaking in detail, these three people are from Liangzhou and old acquaintances, but this time they got together.

The generals of Jin Yiwei's iron cavalry have not changed much, the commander is still Li Zhi, and the deputy commanders are Dian Wufang, Zhang Liao and Hu Che'er. Among them, Dian Wuflaw only occupies the position of a deputy commander, but in fact he will not personally lead the troops, and the specific matters are still handed over to Zhang Liao and Hu Che'er. However, this time, Jin Yiwei annexed the Tiger Roar Battalion led by Huan Fei, with a strength of more than 10,000 people, and his strength increased greatly.

The Longxiang battalion was still 5,000 iron cavalry, with Li Xian as the commander and Li Zheng and Meng Chong as the deputy commanders.

The Wushuang Iron Cavalry increased to 10,000 cavalry, and based on the Wushuang Iron Cavalry, 5,000 Hugh Slaughter Camp War Cavalry were added to form a battalion of men and horses, with Teng Yu as the commander and Tie Yu and Yinyu brothers as the deputy commanders. This time, Li Li made up his mind to build the Wushuang Iron Cavalry into a strong army, and sent the two brothers Yinyu and Tie Yu, who were born in the Hutu tribe, to a cavalry battalion, with obvious intentions, that is, to let them train the Wushuang Iron Cavalry into an invincible iron-blooded cavalry.

The only heavy cavalry of the Western Liang Army was Dong Zhuo's personal guard Flying Bear Soldier before his death. In this reorganization, this heavy armored cavalry was not mixed, and it remained the same, with 15,000 heavy armored iron cavalry. The only change is that the commander has been replaced by Huan Fei, while Dong Yue is the deputy commander, and the other deputy commander is Huang Lie, Huan Fei's old subordinate. This means that the Flying Bear Soldiers have been fully controlled by Huan Fei, and Dong Yue has been hollowed out.

However, all this was not intentional by Li Li, but Dong Yue took the initiative to recommend Huan Fei as the commander of the Flying Bear Army, and he was willing to serve as the deputy commander to assist Huan Fei in taking charge of the army. At first, Li Li thought that Dong Yue's move was a pretentious gesture and a trick of retreating into advance, but Dong Yue sincerely resigned, thinking that his ability in all aspects was inferior to Huan Fei, and he was willing to let Xian. Seeing that Dong Yue sincerely recommended Huan Fei to take over the Flying Bear Soldiers, Li Li was naturally happy to see it, so he appointed Huan Fei as the chief general of the Flying Bear Soldiers.

In this reorganization, Li Li included the 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Wuwei County. Therefore, after the reorganization, the infantry army totaled 85,000 soldiers, the total number of cavalry was 120,000, and the main camp of the whole army totaled 205,000. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
