Chapter 879: The establishment of the Xiliang Army
When Mingguan encountered trouble, Chu Tian was reorganizing various legions.
The first legion to be established was the Xiliang Army.
There are two fates of the Western Liang army. One is to support the Western Regions Protectorate. The Western Regions Protectorate faces huge pressure, and a new overlord has been born in Central Asia, so that Huoan had to withdraw from the complicated civil war and return to the Western Regions Protectorate to defend it.
Secondly, the Western Liang army can be used to attack Hanzhong and Bashu.
The commander of the Xiliang Army is the player Xu Fengnian, who is the only player's commander so far, with Xie Ai as the military advisor.
As the commander, Xie Ai has 94 points of intelligence, which is already quite good.
:Xie Ai
:The King's Commander
:85
:Former cool general
:75
:90:47:94:60:88
:calm
:50
:By weak and strong
:Scholar in white
:The battle to the death of Xiliang
:Xiliang Iron Cavalry
...
It is said that this is also a bad guy. He helped the former Liang Kingdom to repel the army sent by Shi Hu, the monarch of the Later Zhao Kingdom, to attack Liangzhou three times. Later, he was rejected by the former Liang Kingdom, and he was unable to die in a good life.
Xie Ai's ability lies in defeating more with less. The more he is at a disadvantage, the stronger the combat power of the Xiliang Legion will be.
This is also a strange person, but he is unknown.
After Chu Tian determined the commander and military advisor of the Western Liang Army, Chu Tian included some generals in the organization of the Western Liang Army.
The First Legion, Ma Teng and Han Sui Legion, were centered on Ma Chao and Pang De.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were considered as veterans in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to strengthen the strength of Ma Teng and Han Sui's army, Pang De was joined by Chu Tian and returned to the organization of Ma Teng and Han Sui's army.
In addition to Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Teng's sons Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and others will also participate in the war in the future, and Ma Dai, a general who should have belonged to Shu Han.
Han Sui also had many generals.
The Second Legion, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, and Huaxiong Legion were also dominated by the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Xie Ai's Xiliang Iron Cavalry also joined the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Zhang Xiu's guard Hu Cheer. Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, and Huaxiong all belonged to Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, and they got along well. Originally, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, and Huaxiong could also be incorporated into the First Legion of the Western Liang Army, but Chu Tian could not let the Western Liang Iron Cavalry be concentrated in one legion for the sake of decentralization and checks and balances, otherwise it would be easy to lose the tail.
If the First Corps of the Western Liang Army is directly under the jurisdiction of Xu Fengnian, then the Second Corps of the Western Liang Army is directly under the command of Xie Ai.
Xu Fengnian and Xie Ai were once enemies, and their partners also considered Chu Tian’s checks and balances.
Although Xu Fengnian proved his loyalty, it does not mean that Chu Tian would fully trust Xu Fengnian. At least there must be a person similar to the military supervisor. Xie Ai is Xu Fengnian's military supervisor.
The Third Legion, Li Shimin's great-grandfather Li Hu, the handsome Dugu Xin Legion of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was mainly composed of the Northern Zhou Dynasty soldiers. The two generals were the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and were also the generals of Xu Fengnian.
The Fourth Legion, Yang Shihou of Yin Gun Xiaojiedu, and Ma Yuan, General Fubo. Yang Shihou was a famous general of the Later Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The Yin Gun Xiaojie is very famous, and the silver gun square formation is indestructible.
Yang Shihou was also Xu Fengnian's general. In order to prevent Xu Fengnian's old subordinates from forming cliques for personal gain, Chu Tian organized the loyal General Fubo Ma Yuan into the Fourth Legion of the Western Liang Army.
The four major legions of the Western Liang Army, each of which is about 50,000, mainly with high-level troops, is equipped with a total of 200,000 troops.
The size of 200,000 people is already quite large.
According to Chu Tian's idea, there were a total of ten military commanders. Even if each military commander was under a 200,000 army, there would be two million army, which did not include the troops of the Western Regions Protectorate, nor did it include ordinary city defense forces.
If the city defense force is included, the Chutian force's strength may exceed three million.
Including logistics...
Very exaggerated scale.
The 200,000 Xiliang Army is considered a warrior, with a total of more than 400,000 war horses.
Chu Tian mainly looked at Ma Chao's characteristics, and he immediately discovered that Ma Chao's characteristics were actually a bit strange.
:Ma Chao
:The Emperor-level general
:65
:One of the Five Tiger Generals
:85
:83:96:57:43:82
:brave
:70
:Jinma Chao
:The cavalry is horizontal and horizontal
:The iron spear is unparalleled
:The battle to the death of Xiliang
:Driving Qianghu
:Loyal and brave
:Xiliang Iron Cavalry
...
Um?
Chu Tian always felt a little strange.
Ma Chao actually has 6 characteristics.
It is extremely rare to have six characteristics at the beginning, and there are two characteristics. It does not look like Ma Chao's characteristics, "unparalleled iron spear" and "loyalty and courageous", and it is more like Ma Chao's teacher Wang Yanzhang, which is the characteristics of Wang Tiegu.
Could it be that Ma Chao inherited two characteristics from Wang Yanzhang, from four characteristics to six characteristics?
This is not impossible.
How do you look at "Iron Gun Unparalleled"? It looks like the characteristics of Wang Iron Gun.
An iron spear weighing 100 jin is more powerful than an ordinary spear, but it will affect the speed of the general. However, with this characteristic, even a 100 jin iron spear can be easily waving in the hands of a fierce general.
Moreover, Ma Chao's style cannot be said to be loyal and brave, because among the five tiger generals, Ma Chao is one of the princes after all, and his ambition is high.
In history, Ma Teng entered the court as an official. Ma Chao and Han Sui believed that Cao Cao wanted to annex Xiliang, so he raised an army to deal with Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious and killed Ma Teng's family.
In the Romance of the Romance, Cao Cao killed Ma Teng first. In order to avenge his father, Ma Chao rebelled against Cao.
After changing the order, Ma Chao's personality is completely different.
The Romance of the Romance is to respect Shu, so it is understandable to change the order of Luo Guanzhong's Spring and Autumn style.
But Chu Tian was sure that Ma Chao was influenced by Wang Yanzhang and gained Wang Yanzhang's loyalty and courage, perhaps because he was too influenced by Wang Yanzhang.
No matter what, it is a good thing for Chu Tian.
