Three days went by in a flash.

Day 4.

The morning sun has just come out of the mountain, and the morning glow fills half of the sky.

It's another sunny day.

At the beginning of the hour, outside the south gate of Chang'an City, the suburban school field.

A high altar three feet high and two feet wide stands proudly on the empty wilderness. There is a nine-foot-high point general platform built on the high altar, and behind it is a brand-new Xiliang military marshal flag, fluttering in the wind.

On the wilderness directly in front of Jiangtai, the 180,000 cavalry after the fierce battle in the southern suburbs gathered again.

The three-day rest period had passed, and the officers and men of the two armies arrived at the school field in the southern suburbs as scheduled, and each of them returned to the formation and lined up, standing solemnly with weapons in hand, and the army formation was strictly organized.

However, the number of soldiers gathered under the high altar and shuai platform this time is far more than 180,000. Teng Yu and the second general of Tatar gathered a total of more than 40,000 Xiliang soldiers in three days, most of which were infantry troops, with only more than 3,000 cavalry. In addition, Chang'an and Yiwu each had 10,000 defenders, and they did not come to assemble.

Therefore, the total number of infantry and cavalry in the Xiliang Army is 240,000. This does not include the scattered garrisons stationed in Anyi, Hanguguan, Huayin, Wuguan, Hedong and Hexi passes and counties, nor does it include the 30,000 Wuwei infantry cavalry that stayed in Wuwei and Zhangye counties. If you add up all these scattered garrisons, there are still 300,000 troops in Xiliang. With such a huge military strength, more than seventy percent of them were the Xiliang Army left by Dong Zhuo before his death, and most of these soldiers were preserved as a system, and they did not fall apart or die in internal strife.

However, in the first battle in the southern suburbs, the Xiliang Army and the Wuwei Army sent a total of 310,000 troops, plus 20,000 soldiers defending the city, a total of 330,000. But now, only 240,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army have survived, and most of the remaining 90,000 soldiers have died in the battle. Only a small number of soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape and have not returned.

If there was no battle in the southern suburbs, after the Wuwei Army was merged into the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo's bold words of 400,000 Xiliang Army before his death would no longer be an empty word, but worthy of the name. It is a pity that in the fierce battle in the southern suburbs, the two armies lost nearly 90,000 soldiers in total, and the losses of troops were huge, and the strength plummeted.

However, the battle of the southern suburbs was not simply internal strife and internal friction, but half of the merits. There are pros and cons. If there is no frontal battle, the Wuwei Army and the Xiliang Army want to integrate into one army, I am afraid that it is unlikely, and even the Xiliang Army cannot unify the order, and the generals will fight openly and secretly, and intrigue and intrigue will be intrigue. Splits are inevitable. It is precisely because of the battle of the southern suburbs that the generals of the Western Liang Army were killed and wounded. There are also major generals who were captured by the Wuwei army. In the middle of the war. It greatly weakened the strength of the generals of the Xiliang Army, directly stifled the struggle between the Xiliang generals, and laid a solid foundation for the merger of the two armies.

In the big battle, the Wuwei army won, while the various units of the Xiliang army were scattered and crippled. Since then, the merger of the two armies has become a foregone conclusion. The merger of the Wuwei Army with the Xiliang Army to form a new Xiliang Army is already the trend of the times, and it is difficult for anyone to stop it.

To put it in detail, the two armies have actually merged at the moment. Since the end of the Battle of the Southern Suburbs. Whether it was the Wuwei Army or the Xiliang Army, no one dared to disobey Li Li's orders. In such a situation, does it not mean that the two armies have been under Li Li's rule, and the officers and men of the whole army dare not obey the order. However, this merger is only superficial and temporary. If Li Li had been sitting in Chang'an, naturally no one in the army would dare to brush his beard, and he would not dare to disobey his orders. If Li Li leaves Chang'an, then this powerful deterrent will quickly disappear, and then the generals will still support their troops and stand on their own.

Therefore, it is imperative for the whole army to reorganize its troops on a large scale, and it is better to do it sooner rather than later, and later it will bring about changes.

Since the whole army needs to be reorganized, it is necessary to break up the original battalion structure of the Xiliang Army, and generals at all levels, especially middle and low-level generals, must be re-screened, promoted, suppressed, and even some generals must be dismissed. The deployment and placement of the main generals of Xiliang is extremely important, not only to subdue their hearts, but also to continue to use their talents, so that they can really do their best to fight the world for Li Li, lead troops to fight or garrison the border.

For this reason, Li Li summoned Jia Xu, Li Xuan, Li Ru, Xu Rong, Bo Cai, Zhang Liao, Pang De and other civil and military personnel to discuss repeatedly, and even transferred Teng Xiao, who was stationed in Zhangye County, back. Long before the battle in the southern suburbs, Li Li had already begun to think about it, and began to lay out the war and garrison situation in the entire Xiliang Prefecture.

In the past two days, Li Li met with Guo Yan and Duan Xuan separately, explained to them the reorganization matters, and promised them some tangible benefits. They immediately expressed their willingness to surrender and swear allegiance to Li Li, and they were at the mercy of their dispatch and would not break their word. In addition to Guo Yan and Duan Xuan, Li Li also summoned Li Meng, Guo Meng, Wang Fang and other generals separately, and revealed to them their respective positions and salaries after the reorganization.

After Haosheng appeased a group of Xiliang generals, the whole army arrived as scheduled.

This reorganization of the army will determine the future direction of the Xiliang Army, which is related to the life and death of more than 200,000 soldiers of the whole army, and indirectly affects the situation in the world.

Such a major event related to the situation in the world makes Li Li have to be cautious, let alone the slightest negligence, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.

"Knock Knock Knock ———"

Thirty strong warriors threw off their arms and beat the war drums, and the sound of the strong war drums shook all directions, enveloping the wilderness for more than ten miles.

The 220,000 officers and men of the whole army stood solemnly on the wilderness, looking up intently at the war drums on the high altar, looking forward to the appearance of Li Li, the commander of the whole army. There were still many wounded soldiers among them, but the stakes were high for today's gathering, and their respective fates were directly determined, so they rushed with their wounds, hoping that they would be able to enter the powerful camp and belong to a famous general.

Ordinary soldiers are still like this, and generals at all levels in the army are looking forward to it. It is a matter of their own interests, fame and fortune in this move, how can they sit idly by, how can they not be worried in their hearts, and suffer from gains and losses.

After the three-way drum, in the eyes of more than 200,000 soldiers, Li Li wore a tiger-striped helmet, a golden unicorn armor, a dark red lion belt around his waist, and stepped on auspicious cloud combat boots, steadily walked up to the high altar, and climbed the nine-foot high platform.

"Meet the Lord!"

"Greeting, seeing, Lord, Lord——— Lord!"

Suddenly, more than 200,000 people bowed and saluted in unison. The volume is so loud that it can shake the earth, resounding through the sky, and the sound can be heard for dozens of miles of wilderness. The echo is stirring and enduring.

"Soldiers, get up!" Li Li was condescending, looking down at the dense number of officers and soldiers of the whole army, his heart was agitated, and he said aloud with arrogance.

After all the soldiers got up, Li Li continued to say loudly: "Since the establishment of our Xiliang Army, it has fought a hundred battles and won many battles, and it is the most powerful army in the world. In the past, Dong Xiangguo was in charge of the army and fought for more than ten years. Breaking the Yellow Turban, leveling the chaos, turning to the north and south, stepping on most of the states and counties in the world, and making outstanding achievements, this is the work of all the soldiers. The First Battle of Luoyang. Our Xiliang army resisted the army of the alliance of the princes of the world with the strength of one army, although it did not win. But though defeated, he was still glorious. Yes. Our army became famous in the first battle, shocked the princes of all walks of life in the world, shocked the world, and no one dared to touch its edge! ”

After a pause in his tone, he looked down at the soldiers. Li Li continued: "Wang Yun and other old ministers of the former dynasty mistakenly thought that Dong Xiangguo was plotting to usurp and instigate Lu Bu to assassinate Dong Xiang. Lu Bu has no way, kills the lord and kills the father, and is an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person in the world. After the death of Dong Xiang. Lu Bu led the army to kill the officers and soldiers of all parts of our army, causing our Xiliang army to suffer heavy losses and be in danger. At this time of crisis, General Li Wei led the army to resist, and our Wuwei soldiers and the Xiliang army were in the same vein, how could they sit idly by, so the soldiers of the two armies marched forward bravely and captured Chang'an, so that our army could be preserved.

In the first battle in the southern suburbs, the officers and men of the two armies were not wrong, and the commanders of the two armies were not wrong. Instead, some generals in the army instigated in the middle, lest our Xiliang army would not be chaotic, and their intentions were sinister, and they were deliberately provoking the two armies to fight, so that they could take advantage of the fire and take the opportunity to strengthen themselves. This person is Zhang Ji, who sowed discord and prompted a bloody battle between the two armies, and the blood flowed like a river. The reason of heaven is clear, and the retribution is unpleasant. Now Zhang Jiye has been ambushed, and our Western Liang Army has also taken this opportunity to merge into one and re-form a more powerful Western, Liang, and Army! ”

After counting the past of the Xiliang Army, Li Li raised his voice with a solemn expression: "Today is a good day, the sky is beautiful, and the sun is shining. Today is a big day, the two armies have merged, and since then there are no other armies in Xiliang, there can only be one army, and that is our Xiliang Army!

Now the general's first order is: From today on, our Xiliang army is inseparable, if anyone tries to split our army, once it is confirmed, kill and exterminate the nine clans!

The second military order: There is only one commander of our army, and that is me Li Li Li Wenchang! As long as I, Li Li, do not die, the soldiers will not have to worry about no one to take care of their families, no one to support their parents, and no one to support their children. From now on, all the soldiers under my command Li Li who died on the battlefield will be given a martyr's pension, and the money, grain, land, livestock, and cattle will all be distributed to your family in full. Beginning at the end of this year, our army will set up Chang'an Taixue and Wuwei Lecture Hall in Chang'an City, and all subjects in our Xiliang territory can send their children to the school, and after paying the tuition fee, they can choose to learn literature and martial arts independently. The eldest son of the martyr is exempt from all fees and is admitted free of charge, and the second son is admitted to school and is charged 60% of the fee. Except for the orphans of martyrs, the rest must pay the required fees regardless of their status and status, and no one is exempt, even if it is my son Li Li!

The third military order: In this reorganization, the whole army will be broken up and reorganized, and the generals and garrisons of each battalion will be reappointed. The original battalions and horses were all disbanded and reorganized, and the positions of army commander, chief officer, team leader, centurion, tun commander, and small colonel were all openly screened and tested, and those who were capable were promoted and those who were mediocre were demoted. The positions of commanders, military marquis, and military commanders were recommended by the commanders of each battalion in the primary election, and after being examined and examined by the general's office, they would have been personally appointed by order. Where there is no warrant from the general, no general is allowed to appoint a general in the army without authorization, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be severely punished!

No one may violate the above three military orders, and this order cannot be changed in the lifetime of the general! ”

"No! Obey the orders of the Lord! ”

"Promise——— respectfully, obey, Lord, Public, General, Order!"

In the wilderness, except for Li Ligao, everyone bowed down to receive the order. The sound of Ying Nuo resounding in the sky shook all directions, and the echo was long, and the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an City, who were miles away, could hear it clearly.

Raising his hand to signal all the soldiers to get up, Li Li ordered in a deep voice with a cold expression: "Listen, all the soldiers, Li Xuan will read out the order of the reorganization of each battalion and the appointment of the generals, no one is allowed to make noise, and those who violate the order 、、、、、、will be beheaded!" —————— (To be continued) (To be continued......
