During the last great court meeting in the fifteenth year of the Longsheng period, the saints of the Daqian court wanted to exterminate Hu. Suddenly, the murderous atmosphere in Chang'an City rose up, dissipating the energy of the impending years in an instant.
No one was on duty in the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons until late at night.
At the same time, the generals and generals of the Sixth Army gathered in the headquarters.
In the front hall of the Su Mansion, Su Ce held the secret letter sent back to Chang'an from Anding County, thousands of miles away in the north, and looked at it seriously. After reading it, Su Ce passed the secret letter to the generals in the hall.
Su Ce waited until the twelve generals in purple in the front hall took turns to read it, then cleared his throat and said, "I have seen the letter from the Duke. If Anbei Mansion wants to use troops, it will need to transfer generals from Chang'an City. Please settle the score.
Now there are thirty-six purple-robed generals in our Anbei line. The county prince and twelve purple-robed generals are stationed in the Duhu Mansion. There are also thirty-six Fei-robed generals leading the troops in Anbei Mansion. Twelve purple-robed generals are stationed in the two prefectures of Gyeongsang Province. With the Guan Nei Road, the remaining twelve are in charge of the remaining twelve roads.
When the army goes out for an expedition, four generals in purple clothes need to be left in the two cities, eight generals in scarlet clothes are needed to guard the rear, three generals in purple clothes are needed in the third pass, six generals in scarlet clothes are needed to ensure smooth transportation, and fourteen generals in scarlet clothes are needed to guard and capture the fourteenth place. There are only five purple-clad generals and eight scarlet-clad generals left to serve under the county government.
The soldiers captured by Sanguan and Langyan Liushou cannot move. Twenty thousand infantry and 20,000 cavalry are drawn from Beiyuan Eighth Guards. Each of the two cities draws 40,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, and 30,000 auxiliary troops, totaling 100,000 cavalry. There are 40,000 infantry and 60,000 baggage auxiliaries, making a total of 200,000 troops.
According to the number of 60,000 infantry, 40,000 cavalry can be mobilized to form four military formations during war. A military formation of 25,000 people requires a general in purple to command the center, and five generals in scarlet clothing to command the front, rear, left, and right. , four military formations require four generals in purple and twenty generals in scarlet.
As for the remaining armies, the 40,000 cavalry requires four generals in purple and eight generals in scarlet. The 60,000 auxiliary troops require one general in purple and six generals in scarlet.
A total of 200,000 troops require nine generals in purple and thirty-four generals in scarlet.
It is necessary to draw four generals in purple and twenty-six generals in scarlet from Chang'an City. You will draw lots for the selection later. Don't fight over them, as the battle will be endless.
In this battle, we want to reshape the military nobility of the Duke of Chu. The nobles of the Anbei line cannot share the credit for the promotion. Therefore, in June this year, the Duhufu was moved north, and all the nobles withdrew from the Duhufu and returned to Chang'an. .
Everyone, the Duke's Palace is related to the military fortune of our Anbei line. This battle can be won or drawn, but it cannot be defeated. Otherwise, our Anbei line will miss the opportunity to reshape the Duke's Palace.
After three years of planning, success or failure depends on now. We have our nobles in the court. You can kill the enemy with peace of mind. Your nobles are at the old commander's house tonight. The troops and horses have not moved. The food and grass have gone first. Our nobles still need to allocate places to protect them. rear.
Li Chang holds a banquet and keeps company with Zepao! I wish you all a great victory. When the army returns next year, Su will greet you all at the Weishui River! Sorry!"
"Military Lord, you're welcome! With our Anbei line working together, the destruction of Hu is just around the corner. The army goes out to fight, but it's just a fight with open swords and spears. The Army Lord and I, Anbei Xungui, have to deal with laughing knives and secret arrows. Compared with me, When the battlefield becomes more dangerous, don't let the commander wait." A general in purple stepped forward, and Su Ce recognized this man. He was a general who had joined Anbei, and he was from the same lineage as the commander Li Sizhe for hundreds of years.
Su Ce bowed his hands and saluted the twelve generals in purple clothes, turned around and walked out of the front hall. He greeted the generals in purple clothes in the courtyard before leaving the house and mounting their horses. Eight of them wore futou on their heads, narrow-sleeved robes, and waistbands. The bodyguards wearing leather belts, wearing black boots, holding horizontal knives and carrying hard bows on their backs have been waiting for a long time.
Su Ce took the sword handed to him by his guard. This sword was one of Su Ce's many swords. Su Ce liked thickened long horizontal knives. The ordinary horizontal sword was a bit too light for Su Ce.
In the past few years, Li Chang has purchased more and more weapons for Su Ce, but they are limited to horizontal swords, hard bows and long spears. The horse weapon only has the same one as before. There are only five sets of Jiawei, all of which are registered Jiawei, not those of non-registered Jiawei. It's a deadly thing, and Su Ce won't mess with it.
After all, "One armor carries three crossbows, and three armors enter the underworld." If you hide the stomach of armor privately, your family will be confiscated and your family will be exterminated.
"Qianlu" stipulates: "One crossbow plus two ranks, A one collar and three crossbows travel two thousand miles, A three collars and five crossbows. Private makers each add one class. Armor refers to skin and iron. Etc. If the armor is the same as the armor, it will be left behind. If it is not sent to the official after thirty days, it will be the same as private law."
In the vernacular, anyone who secretly hides one collared stomach and three crossbows will be exiled for two thousand miles. Anyone who secretly hides three collared stomachs and five crossbows will be directly sentenced to hanging. Those who secretly hide are guilty, and those who secretly produce them are even more guilty. .Even if it is found, if it is not sent to the official within thirty days, it will be the same crime as the person who kept it secretly.
Su Ce's personal armor can be purchased according to military regulations. Two sets of armor, one set of armor and one set of leather armor. When on duty, wear armor, go out to fight, wear leather armor when marching, wear armor during war, weekdays and daily life. The last court wore military robes.
There are laws on the quantity of the armor and stomach, and no one dares to mess around with it, but the quality of the armor and stomach can be improved. Su Ce's armor and lining of the armor and stomach have been replaced several times by Li Chang, but they are getting thicker and thicker. , if it weren't for the famous horse that Li Chang bought at a high price from the caravan in the Western Regions, ordinary war horses would not be able to withstand Su Ce's well-equipped armor.
In addition to the two sets of armors for his own use, Su Ce also has three sets of armors, namely the two sets of armors given by the crown prince and the second prince, and the black basalt armor that represents the inheritance of Anbei. However, these three sets of armors except for special time Su Ce will wear it, but Su Ce cannot wear it during wartime and peacetime.
Today is a special day for the imperial court, so Su Ce can wear armor and stomach. However, according to the law, Su Ce is not allowed to wear armor at this time and can only wear a military robe.
Su Ce tightened the leather belt around his waist, hung up the cross sword and got on his horse. There was no time to sleep tonight, so he took one step at a time and walked at a faster pace. Although the general plan had been decided before, the details still needed to be perfected.
The entire Anbei lineage is fully supporting Gongxiang City of Anding County this time. The soldiers can accumulate military exploits and gain more land for their families. The generals can be promoted. Those who are lucky can even touch the title. Everyone can benefit.
On the contrary, the nobles not only gave up their real power in the army, but also had to work hard to ensure the rear of the army, and even offended other noble officials in the court. But all this was worth it in the eyes of the nobles from Anbei. Yes, no matter how bloody the fight is on a daily basis, this is just a means of self-protection for the nobles to gain the trust of the saint.
When the time comes to restore the title, you still have to give it a try. Your honor is not a member of the noble family. You have a reputation and industry that can ensure the inheritance of your family. Everything you have comes from your title. No one wants to know that a hundred years from now, they will be the same. No one can keep his title. Historically, those with vested interests have always been exclusive. Mutual benefit and win-win are only between each other. Therefore, what nobles should look at is not one generation, but the inheritance from generation to generation. No one knows which generation will produce the next generation. They are hopeless, so they need other nobles to help them at critical moments. No one wants their descendants to be left alone.
In the final analysis, knighthoods are awarded by saints, and the Ministry of War cannot grant them. Those who have made meritorious service in the military are what the people in the army want. The first is the title, the second is the honor, and the third is the position.
By being demoted to the rank of nobility, the descendants can still stand in high positions as long as they are not dandy. However, the honor can have the wealth produced by the land, and these outputs can make the descendants rich, but no matter how high the official position is, they cannot be passed on to the descendants.
Why do you think nobles are superior to others at any time and on any occasion? Because villains take revenge from morning to night, and they can be fierce for a while. Gentlemen take revenge every ten years, and wait for the right time to act. Nobles take revenge for a hundred years, and they will have no descendants.
This is also the reason why in the front hall, the third-rank general in purple was sitting at the bottom, but the fourth-rank Su Ce was able to sit in the main seat.
Su Ce knew that these purple-clothed generals were led by him. Apart from trusting him as the leader of the Anbei Army, the only thing left was to respect his title. But among the generals in the army who can be called purple-clothed generals, which one does not have pride? They can
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, but they cannot be forced to bow their heads by the owner of the house, otherwise they won't even know if they go to the battlefield and are tricked to death.
Therefore, Su Ce went to choose generals and instead handed the choice to the general in purple. Su Ce now does not have the power of the old coach Li Sizhe.
For people in the military, if it weren't for the strict military discipline, who would be willing to stay away from their families and go to deserted places to guard the border, leading a miserable life of being on tenterhooks and licking blood from the blade of a knife.
But when the army goes out for an expedition, everything turns upside down, because going out means military merit, and military merit is the most useful merit. People who were born in Daqian and have military households in their place of birth can use military merit to get what they want.
everything.
As soon as Su Ce left, Chang Li had people set up a banquet. The purple-robed generals in the front hall and the Fei-clad generals in the front yard sat down one after another. However, these generals only had a taste of Su's delicious dishes and the wine-scented Baiguo Zong.
, the number of places to be transferred to the Anbei Protectorate was limited, and a comrade sitting on the table became an opponent at this time.
Compared with the soldiers at the bottom who get along day and night in the army, the generals at the upper levels of the army face competition, but there is no love of life and death among the soldiers. When they reach such high positions, their duties are not only related to their own interests.
There is also a future for his subordinates, so we must grab what should be grabbed and there is no room for any retreat.
The reason why military generals are used to making things clear in front of others is because the special nature of the army does not allow villains to hold high positions, and those who stick a knife in the back will not live until dawn in the army.
At this time, after the generals in purple clothes and generals in Fei clothes in Su Mansion had eaten and drank, they had already begun to compete for the quota to go to the Anbei Protectorate. However, all the battles about who goes and who stays can only be done tonight, only in Su Mansion. After tonight
, everyone can still trust each other's back to each other's robe.
Su Ce said that he went to the old marshal's house to discuss the details of the war with the nobles from the Anbei line, so that must be true. In fact, the old marshal Li Sizhe and the nobles from the Anbei line have met more than a dozen times in the past two months.
What should be discussed has been decided long ago, but Su Ce came anyway. After all, Su Ce was in the Su Mansion, and the generals in purple and scarlet clothes could not move their hands. Su Ce vacated the front yard of the Su Mansion and let them fight.
Use words, use battle results, use fists, draw lots, draw lots, use dice...whatever they use, they can't use knives, they can't make death blows, and if they lose, their skills are inferior to others. The limit is the method they use in front of the palace gate during the day.
Su Ce walked slowly along the way. He was not in a hurry anyway. Su Ce had seen the horse tripping rope of the Sixteenth Guards trip up a dude who was riding for fun on the street, and he fell miserably.
When Su Ce entered the old commander's house, it was almost before dawn, and the battle in Su's house also came to an end. Su Ce was not interested in this outcome, but in the process, most people chose fists, which is the most common in the army.
It is common, and it is also considered the fairest method by people in the army. When there is no decision, whoever falls will lose, just like on the battlefield, only those who are standing are qualified to shout victory.
