Chapter 916: The Secret of the Crescent Gate Guard
Su Zhenting's words reassured Li Chen a lot.
No matter Su Zhenting's personality or status, if he is so sure that Crescent Guard will not rebel in full, then this matter will be credible.
Li Chen thought for a while and said, "General Su, there must be no accident in the Crescent Pass, let alone the Liao army should be put in."
Su Zhenting smiled bitterly and said, "The truth is true, but the Crescent Pass has always been a system. Not to mention the court, even the King Ning who was leaning on the back of the Crescent Pass has tried his best to open the Crescent Pass in recent years, but he has not succeeded. If it were Zhao
The mystery has been buried first, and it is difficult for us to break the deadlock in a short time."
"In the crescent moon, there are 60,000 troops that can fight at any time. All of these 60,000 are veterans and elite soldiers. In addition, there are at least 100,000 reserves. These reserves work normally on weekdays, but they will also participate in training.
If the Crescent Guard Defense Line is in a hurry, these 100,000 people will be put on armor and get weapons and will be put into battle immediately."
"And in order to consolidate the defensive power of the Crescent Guard, the advanced emperors of all dynasties gave the Crescent Guard great power. Generals from other parts of the country generally changed defenses for no more than six years, in order to avoid the generals stationed in a unit for a long time.
This led to the occurrence of being operated into an iron barrel."
"And the food, grass finance, military pay allocation, etc. in the army are all directly allocated by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue to bypass the generals. This is to separate the military power and financial power. In this way, even if the military generals have a two-minded heart and have no support for food, grass, military pay,
I can't do anything."
"But all this is completely different at the crescent moon gate."
"The strategic position of Crescent Pass is destined to be unable to be restricted by ordinary rules. Generals will not be replaced for a long time. Even if they are replaced, considering the overall combat capability and cohesion, it is basically the former general who chooses one or several people from within Crescent Pass.
It is decided by the court, but the court will not consider other candidates.”
"In addition, the allocation of food, grass and military pay is also calculated by the generals of the Crescent Guard and reported to the court, and the court transported it to the Crescent Guard. The court has only the responsibility of giving money, but does not have the power to review and check."
"For a hundred years, the Crescent Pass can be said to be a real iron bucket, and water cannot be poured into it."
Li Chen tapped his fingers on the table, closing his eyes slightly to ponder.
He knew everything Su Zhenting said, but the problem was that it was difficult to find a solution because these things were too clear.
"actually……"
Su Zhenting suddenly said: "The court is not without a defense against Crescent Pass. For example, every Burscent Pass must send his wife, children, and young people to the capital according to the court's requirements."
Li Chen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Why don't I know about this?"
Su Zhenting bowed and said, "This matter is confidential, and only the emperor knows the specific whereabouts. I was also mentioned by the Emperor and I when the Dragon Body of the Saint was still healthy the year before."
"And, the Lord told me where his wife and children live in this generation."
Li Chen suddenly stood up and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Su Zhenting smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Li Chen looked at him and knew that this was probably because the emperor told Su Zhenting that the news, and he said something, but Su Zhenting couldn't say those words to him.
A thought suddenly popped up in Li Chen's mind.
