Chapter 155 Let the world take a look
Since Zhong Hongwu's death, almost all the troops in Beiliang have been suppressed by Yan Wenluan alone.
The greater role played by Liangzhou today is actually the central function, mainly to meet the scheduling of all parties. People like Chu Lushan have moved from Liangzhou and Lingzhou to Youzhou, and their purpose is naturally to prepare in advance to welcome the next battle.
At present, only Chen Zhibao is still stationed in Lingzhou. Naturally, he is the most suitable choice to be responsible for guarding the south to prevent any abnormal movements in the Western Regions or Nanzhao.
So Yan Wenluan is actually having a headache now, because he has been dealing with infantry all his life and has not been involved in cavalry. Although these are logically interoperable, there is actually a certain gap.
"Damn it! This damn Zhong Hongwu has been carrying soldiers for the rest of his life, why didn't he even leave a manual for leading soldiers?" Looking at the majority of the cavalry in front of him, Yan Wenluan couldn't help but curse secretly.
These cavalry were originally Zhong Hongwu's old subordinates. Although they had been practicing for a long time and were familiar with their own training methods, they only knew themselves and had no coordinated method from a global perspective. Now Yan Wenluan can only use these people's training to reverse and restore various battle formations and training methods.
Although it is not clueless, it is still difficult for Yan Wenluan, who has always been good at infantry deployment and formation.
"Haha, Uncle Yan is a little angry."
A sudden voice sounded in Yan Wenluan's ears. He was startled and then looked at him angrily: "How about you try it? How could it be a simple matter if hundreds of thousands of cavalry are added at once?"
The visitor was Xu Liang'an. Yan Wenluan had no extra thoughts about Xu Liang'an, so he simply thought that he was the son of his good brother and his eldest nephew. As for how high Xu Liang'an's cultivation is, in Yan Wenluan's words, what's the use of no matter how high he is? If you have the ability, you can stab me in the head?
However, this attitude made Xu Liangan feel very comfortable. Now, except for the people in Qingliangshan who are in their family treating him as before, no matter where he goes, he is respectful to others. This is actually not what Xu Liangan wants, but sometimes he must maintain his power, which makes him feel very tired.
So actually Xu Liangan especially likes the way he gets along with Yan Wenluan.
Smile happily.
"Then I can't do such things. This is called having a specialty in arts. Looking at the whole of Beiliang, only Uncle Yan can do this."
"You boy, don't bring me a high hat."
Yan Wenluan still looked so angry.
"Don't I know how much I have? I don't have much talent in cavalry, otherwise why would I let that young boy Zhong Hongwu steal the position of the cavalry commander from me?"
"Okay, if you don't talk about this, why would you come to me today?"
Yan Wenluan's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Of course I'm here to help Uncle Yan solve his problems and share some of the pressure for you! If Uncle Yan is unhappy, then I'll leave first."
Yan Wenluan pretended that he hadn't heard the obvious joke in the second half of Xu Liang'an.
"Tighten the troubles? How do you solve the troubles? Did you send me a talent that can help me train troops, or did you just push Beimang directly? I will continue to struggle with my old bones?"
"Of course not."
Xu Liang smiled happily.
"I have already agreed with Gu Jiantang. From now on, Beiliang will completely unite with Liyang to fight Beimang, so there is not much time left for Uncle Yan."
"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
After hearing Xu Liang'an's words, Yan Wenluan first spat out with disgust: "Why does it feel so unlucky to listen to your boy's words?"
But then he said with a serious look on his face: "What you said is true? Can you be sure that Gu Jiantang can stand on the united front with us sincerely? Otherwise, I will not be able to believe him 100%.
"Don't worry, Uncle Yan."
"Gu Jiantang has no conflict of interest with us. He may have his own little thoughts, but I have promised him enough to reward him without making any small moves. As long as he is not a fool, he will never do anything he shouldn't do."
Is Gu Jiantang stupid? Of course not stupid!
Of course, Xu Liangan knew that Gu Jiantang could definitely trust 100% in joining forces to solve the Beimang issue. However, if he had to explain something to Yan Wenluan, there would inevitably be some tangled troubles in it. Xu Liangan simply said that he promised to give the other party enough benefits.
After all, as long as there is enough interests, a relationship can be maintained well. He doesn’t need to say anything more about this relationship. How could Yan Wenluan, an old man who has lived all his life, not understand this truth?
"Okay, since you said that, I won't think about this anymore. But what exactly do you mean by joining forces with Gu Jiantang?"
"I plan to completely combine the Northern Liang army and the current Liyang army!"
Xu Liangan made a decision that surprised Yan Wenluan: "Totally combine it together?" Yan Wenluan's tone was full of disbelief.
First, he looked up and down at Xu Liang'an, and then Yan Wenluan opened his mouth again: "Are you planning to hand over all our Beiliang's old foundation?"
Whether it is his Yan character camp or his own "中" camp directly led by Xu Xiao's adopted sons, including the most powerful snow dragon cavalry in Beiliang, who controls the core secrets of the Northern Liang cavalry fighting and the unrivaled world in the world, since Xu Liangan now said that he would completely integrate with Gu Jiantang, he was undoubtedly ready to hand over the core secrets of Beiliang.
"good."
Xu Liangan nodded slightly.
"Why is it obvious that Beiliang is stronger than Beimang in cavalry and infantry combat, but I have not been able to step into Beimang for so many years?"
"After all, it's because of the number of people!"
"Although our Beiliang tactics are powerful, they are restricted by geographical restrictions, resulting in the total population being unable to rise. In order to reclaim wasteland and recuperate, we have never forced recruitment into the camp, so we cannot form a force enough to suppress Beimang."
"But Li Yang is different. What they lack the most is people! Even because of the old emperor's previous stupidity, natural disasters in Li Yang and Jiangnan Road have appeared. How many people are displaced? Many young and strong men choose to join the army for their livelihood. Over the years, they have accumulated a considerable number."
Listening to Xu Liang'an's words, Yan Wenluan kept nodding. He naturally knew this truth very well, because this was also the most afflicting thing in the hearts of all the generals of the Northern Liang Dynasty. If they were given enough people, they would have already advanced and led their troops deep into the hinterland of Beimang. How could they be like this now?
He waved his hand gently, and the veteran's face was filled with regret at this moment.
"After all, we old guys are not powerful enough, otherwise how could we let those little kids in Beimang be so arrogant for so many years?"
"Uncle Yan's words are wrong."
Xu Liangan smiled. He never felt that there was anything wrong with soldiers like Yan Wenluan doing: "I still remember when I was a child, when I just came to Beiliang with my family, how desolate the entire Beiliang territory was?"
"Over the years, Beiliang has been able to develop into this prosperous scene today. Cities rise from the yellow land. In my opinion, Uncle Yan, you are the majority of these contributions."
This was not Xu Liangan's deliberate flattery, but the most real idea in his heart.
It seems that Beiliang has been able to make these ordinary people live very relaxed over the years, but in fact, it is due to Yan Wenluan and the others.
When I was just enfeoffed to Beiliang, this place could almost be described as desolate. How could Beimang miss this opportunity?
Although Xu Liangan had never seen the scene at that time with his own eyes, in Xu Xiao's words, it was almost twelve hours a day, and almost seven or eight hours were fighting on both sides! There was no chance to breathe.
For Beimang, it was just the best time for them to defeat Xu Xiao at that time.
For Beiliang, it is a time when everything is in trouble. The people need to settle down and the cities need to be established. Otherwise, the people of Beiliang who were breached by Beimang and would not have time to escape would have only one fate that would be waiting for them, that is, they would be ruthlessly massacred by Beimang.
It is conceivable how much pressure Yan Wenluan was under at that time.
In fact, in the three places of Beiliang, Xu Xiao planned to let Zhong Hongwu guard Youzhou and Yan Wenluan guard Lingzhou, and wanted his old brother to be more relaxed, but he could not resist Yan Wenluan's repeated requests, so he finally asked him to go to Youzhou.
Yan Wenluan's reason back then was very simple and crude, that is, if he didn't kill the Beimang Tatars for a day, he would be so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep.
In the end, Xu Xiao still couldn't change Yan Wenluan's idea and divided him into the north of Northern Liang. And Yan Wenluan's actions over the years were indeed as he said back then. He had never delayed the war every day, and he would go on stage in person.
Over the years, he has left countless scars, arrow wounds, knife wounds, fall injuries, surface injuries, and penetration injuries... All kinds of scars are not counted, but Yan Wenluan has never complained even a word.
So no matter from which angle, Xu Liangan is definitely worthy of this praise!
But even so, Yan Wenluan still shook her head gently: "If it weren't for the people of Beiliang who worked diligently to reclaim wasteland and provide us with food and clothing for so many years, how could we have the intention to fight those Beimang Tartars without any worries?"
Yan Wenluan said this from her heart.
How did Beiliang survive that difficult environment? It was based on what he just said that some people were willing to devote their lives, fight against the enemy on the front line, and gain enough time for development for the rear.
The people behind did not think that everything was right, and they were built and cultivated day and night. In order to provide as much resources as possible for the people on the frontline, so that they would not have to worry about food and clothing.
So for Yan Wenluan, it is better to say that he supports and achieves each other than to make the majority of the contributions. Beiliang without any other could not be like this.
"But, it's still more painful to die in the battle."
This time, Xu Liangan did not follow the ideas of the old man around him, but insisted on his opinion. Even his tone showed an unconcealable feeling of grief.
"Three years!"
His eyes suddenly looked into the distance, at the junction of Beiliang and Beimang.
"When I first saw the count of the number of people who died in Shacheng in the Northern Liang army in the past three years, I even thought I had read it wrong!"
"Thirteen two thousand seven hundred and forty-eight people died in three years!"
"But at that time, how many people were there in Beiliang? How many soldiers were there in total?"
Xu Liangan's expression was a little depressed. The reason why he recorded this number so clearly was naturally because the impact he suffered after seeing this string of numbers was too great!
Perhaps the collision between the two powerful sectors is not particularly large, but you should know that they did not die in large-scale head-on conflicts, but the uninterrupted small battlefield and small frictions in the first three years of Beiliang and Beimang.
The sacrifice of more than 130,000 people means that more than 100 people die every day outside this new hometown where they finally wrote their names!
This is undoubtedly cruel, extremely cruel!
Yan Wenluan was also silent. This old general who had fought for a lifetime actually wanted to pretend to be relaxed in front of Xu Liang'an: "How can one die in a war?" But after choking for a few words, he found that he could not say such words after all.
He also looked into the distance like Xu Liangan, and seemed to be able to vaguely see the old brothers who had been by his side back then, smiling at him one by one.
"These things may be the price. If you want to live a good life, you have to pay some price. Otherwise, there will be so many good things in the world that we can all get on?"
Xu Liangan was stunned and did not immediately answer Yan Wenluan's question.
For him, because he had never really been to the battlefield, he had no right to say that he could empathize with many things. For example, he could not understand everything Yan Wenluan thought in his heart at this moment.
But now he can always participate in changing these things.
The troops trampled on Beimang, at least for a certain period of time, the people in the world no longer need to worry about being disturbed by the war. This is also the wish that Xu Liang'an wanted to realize.
"Let the world see."
