Chapter 84 A regiment

Chapter 84 A group

At the moment of Si, Jialan walked into Hexi Weifu.

The right-hand guard general Feng Xiaoci, Wu Benlang General Wang Wei and other major officials of the Wei Mansion, Longle Ying Yanglang General Wang Bian and other senior officers of the Ying Yang Mansion were all in the lobby. They followed the emperor's will in detail and formulate future Northwest military strategies in accordance with the emperor's will, and then reported to Kyoto urgently.

Galan entered the lobby, and the military discussion immediately entered the next issue.

Feng Xiaoci first read out Wang Bian's order.

Once the transfer order was announced, Wang Bian was no longer the commander of Longleyingyang Mansion, nor was he an official of Hexi Guardian. Next, he would take this transfer order and go day and night to report to the Liaodong Guardian Command located in Huaiyuan Town, Liaodong.

Then, Feng Xiaoci read out Jialan's confession document and the orders of the Wei Mansion.

The appointment of a brigade commander from the sixth rank did not require the Wei Mansion to come forward at all, but Jialan was the northwestern rebel whom the emperor called the Xiaoguo Army and was the commander of the elite cavalry in the northwest who rushed to Liaodong this time. Of course, it needs to be more grand, so as to show the loyalty of the Hexi Wei Mansion to the emperor and the importance and support of the emperor in forming the Xiaoguo Army.

The elite cavalry in the northwest who rushed to Liaodong this time were nominally led by Wang Bian. However, because Wang Bian had received the order of transfer, he was no longer Ying Yanglang General of Longle Ying Yang Mansion, so in fact, it was Jialan who controlled the military power, but his level was not enough, so Wang Bian needed to support him. When he arrived in Liaodong, Jialan and this cavalry joined the Xiaoguo Army, and the center issued the order to Hexi Wei Mansion. At that time, Jialan and this cavalry had officially left Hexi Wei Mansion.

After the order was read out, Jialan, a brigade commander who was specially pardoned and summoned by the emperor, wanted to lead a regiment of cavalry to Liaodong, which was equivalent to exercising the power of a sixth-rank Yueqi lieutenant, so he naturally stayed to participate in the military convention.

The old general Xue Shixiong's wish is good. He hopes to take this opportunity to promote some old subordinates and take the opportunity to expand and consolidate the Xue family's position in the army. However, his old subordinates cannot ignore their own personal interests. As for the current situation in the West and the crisis facing the Hexi Weifu Prefecture, let alone the dispatch of elite troops from the northwest, they hope that Chang'an can transfer several regiments of troops from other places to solve the urgent problem.

Why send the First Brigade of the Horse Army of the Yingyang Mansion of Shanshan to Liaodong? It's a very simple matter. Xue Shixiong doesn't have time to dispatch troops. Even if he has time, the Yingyang Mansion in the surrounding area will block the responsibility and shirke it. It is of course a good thing to join the Xiaoguo Army, but if you join the Xiaoguo Army, you have to go to Liaodong to fight. You charge at the front line. There is a great chance of making meritorious contributions, and you also face the threat of death. If you weigh the trade-offs carefully, it is better to stay in the northwest, because once the Liaodong war is fought

After that, the emperor must fight against the Turks and the Tuyuhun people. This is obvious. How could the emperor and Chang'an let a group of barbarians run rampant? The western expedition can also make contributions. Since that is the case, why should we take the risk to Liaodong? The Shanshan Yingyang Mansion is thousands of miles away and is beyond reach. Xue Shixiong said that the adjustment was adjusted. Although the Shanshan Yingyang Mansion will definitely cause trouble for him in the future, Feng Xiaoci couldn't take care of it and solved the current problems first.

One hundred cavalry in a brigade is definitely not enough. Xue Shixiong wants one regiment and two brigades, so he can only draw from Longle Yingyang Mansion. The guards of the Wei Mansion are few, and before they have to, Feng Xiaoci and Wang Wei will not transfer their subordinates to Liaodong. Longle Yingyang Mansion assumes the responsibility of guarding Yangguan, and the western gate of Hexi is garrisoned by them, but Yingyang Mansion has only four regiments and limited troops, so Yingyang Mansion is not polite and rejects the Wei Mansion. If you want to transfer, the Wei Mansion and Yingyang Mansion each bear half of their own. Otherwise, they will be transferred from other Yingyang Mansions and we will work together to gather a brigade.

Although Wang Bian received the order to transfer, he still had no choice but to help Yingyang Mansion speak. To be honest, Longle Yingyang Mansion has a great difficulty. Even if a team of fifty guards is drawn, it will be a big piece of "meat" and it is unbearable for Yingyang Mansion.

"Galan, what advice do you have?" Wang Bian saw Galan sitting beside him and kept silent, so he asked on his own initiative. Galan is low in level, very young, and has the shame of Yiwudao's battle. He is not qualified to speak in such an occasion, and he is bored to speak, but instead has the bad impression of not understanding the rules or being self-righteous.

Everyone looked at Galan with different expressions. This young man always used the sharp "knife". The Laolang Mansion used him and the Wei Mansion also used him. Now even the emperor uses him, but he always has a knife. Anyone who holds a sharp and bloody "knife" like him is afraid of anyone holding it. A knife can kill people and hurt himself. For example, Pei Shiju is a good example. He hurt this "knife". After Yiwudao's battle, his power went away in a mess from the northwest. If the emperor had not trusted him, he would have beaten his opponent in a decent manner.

Galan was silent and said nothing.

Feng Xiaoci smiled with a smile, "Galan, you have to take this group to Liaodong for two or three months and thousands of miles. The difficulties are far greater than your imagination. So, if you have difficulties, say now, don't have any worries. If you don't say it now, don't blame us in the future."

Everyone laughed knowingly, and the tension caused by the intense argument just now was a little relaxed.

"I came from Tulunchuan for a long distance and was surrounded and blocked by the barbarians along the way. Fortunately, I had many brothers, and they all helped each other and sacrificed their lives. Finally, they returned to Dunhuang alive." Jialan stood up and bowed to Feng Xiaoci and Wang Wei. "These brothers are all Western natives. Because of me, they lost their homes and had to avoid Hexi for a while. However, Hexi is not their homes, and Hexi will not accept them. When the weather is warm, they have to leave Hexi and leave the pass, and they have to face the killing of the Turks, Tiel people and Tuyuhun people. Therefore, I beg Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai to give them a way to live."

Feng Xiaoci and Wang Wei immediately understood Jialan’s intention. They looked at each other and smiled, and both agreed to Jialan’s suggestions. This is a good way to solve the problem, killing multiple birds with one stone.

Wang Bian, Wei Mansion and other officials of Yingyang Mansion also lit up their eyes and praised Jia Lan's method. The sand thieves in Ziyuntian and the horse thieves in Devil City are all "evil wolves" on the Silk Road, and the great troubles of the Western Land. The Hexi Wei Mansion intends to kill them, while the Laolang Mansion intends to use them. This contradiction has led to the rampant thieves in the Western Land. Now Jia Lan wants to take them away, which is a good thing that Hexi Wei Mansion cannot afford.

"How many people are there?" Wang Bian asked happily.

"It's more than enough to form two brigades," said Galan. "The cavalry of a regiment is equipped with at least a hundred men, and the extra bravery can join the cavalry as a merciless man."

"This is actually the cavalry of four brigades." Wang Bian smiled, "Without a little training, the horse thieves in Ziyuntian and the Devil City will even surpass our cavalry, because they are cunning, even more cunning than the wild wolf in the desert."

Feng Xiaoci and Wang Wei exchanged their eyes, and a hint of worry flashed across their eyes. The sand horse thieves are not kind military households. These people are rebellious, lawless, and insidious. Once they cause any disaster in the Xiaoguo army or on the battlefield, they will eventually be implicated in the Hexi Wei Mansion and they will be implicated.

"Xiaoguo Army did not refuse the Hu people surnamed Hu." Wang Wei said in a deep thought, "But the nature of the sand thief is difficult to change, if..."

Jia Lan lifted up the Rong robe and knelt on one knee, "They are all my brothers, brothers of life and death. Please trust Feng Shuai and Wang Shuai as much as they trust me."

Wang Wei frowned slightly, but hesitated. He used the sand horse thief to pretend to be the elite of the Northwest Army to fool Xue Shixiong. If this was exposed, it would definitely affect the relationship between the two sides.

"Okay," Feng Xiaoci made a decisive decision, "recruiting soldiers immediately. Before dusk, report the roster to the Guardian."

Feng Xiaoci is willing to take all the responsibilities, what else can Wang Wei say? However, in case of precautions, he still put forward his own suggestions to mix the soldiers of the First Brigade of the Horse Army and the Shama Horse Thieves, and asked Galan to complete the running-in of this new team before arriving in Liaodong.

Jialan solved the problems of the Wei Mansion and Ying Yang Mansion, and the atmosphere of military discussion suddenly improved. Feng Xiaoci asked with a smile, "Jialan, if you have any requirements, please ask now. The Wei Mansion will definitely satisfy you."

Galan was not polite and immediately said, "I want officers, a considerable number of officers."

There are quite a few people who thieves in the sand, but if they want to form combat power in the shortest time, they also need high-quality lower-level officers. The Wei Mansion and Yingyang Mansion are unwilling to give it to them, let alone to the officers. So as soon as Jia Lan said this, the officials of the Wei Mansion and Yingyang Mansion immediately became alert and made up their minds to not give it to others.

"How much do you want?" Feng Xiaoci asked.

"I want Li Bao from Wei Mansion, Miao Yu, Mao Yuxuan from Yingyang Mansion..." Jia Lan said the names of seven or eight officers in one breath, and finally said, "I also want all the soldiers of Tianma Shu, as well as those Hebei prisoners who have been following me to Dunhuang from Tianma Shu."

"Can Hebei criminals be officers?" Wang Wei was a little dissatisfied. Although the Wei Mansion was willing to satisfy Galan's wish to gather a cavalry, the quality of the officers was related to the combat effectiveness of this cavalry, and he must be responsible for the lives of two hundred soldiers and cannot be appointed casually.

"What's the reason?" Feng Xiaoci asked after Wang Wei's words, "Why can Hebei prisoners be officers?"

"Some of them were once the leaders of the Hebei rebels."

Although Jialan's explanation was a bit far-fetched and Wang Wei and some officials could not accept it, Feng Xiaoci could accept it. He thought of what Jialan said to him. No matter what, there are more and more rebellions in Hebei and Henan, and it is definitely necessary for the army to suppress the rebellion. If these troops are not surprised, they should come from the Liaodong battlefield. In other words, Jialan may have to suppress the rebellion in the future, and these Hebei people who have become military officers and follow Jialan will definitely help suppress the rebellion.

"As you wish." Feng Xiaoci made the final decision, and had no intention of wasting time on these trivial matters.

Next is the equipment of this regiment of 200 cavalry and nearly 100 troop soldiers, how many war horses, how many food and grass, how many weapons, and the march route to Liaodong, etc., which must be agreed immediately, and then reported to the left-behind mansion and reported to Chang'an.

Before the military discussion was over, Sun Heng'an, the chief commander of the Western Regions Commander's Office, came from Dunhuang.

The emperor issued an order to summon Zhaowu Qushu, the third prince of Kang State, but the summoned place was very special, and it was Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County. This was the emperor's palace in the northeast and the commander of the Sui army's eastern expedition to Goryeo. It was obvious that the emperor was about to leave the eastern capital Luoyang and rushed to Zhuo County to personally command the second Eastern Expedition.

"I need Jia Lan to personally escort Zhaowu Qushuzhi to Linshuo Palace."
