"The geographical location of Duyang City is very important, and Liaozhou City also knows this, so in addition to bringing rewards, there are also five thousand other troops to let me stick to Duyang, with so many soldiers, Of course, there will be position arrangements, and you are loyal, needless to say, brave and resourceful, calm in situations, and have the experience of leading troops. So, if you want, I can give you a position to join you in military citizenship,"
Su Yan said slowly. After such a long time of contact, among the eight personal soldiers Su Yan gave him, the one he admired the most was Su Yang, and his ability was even greater than that of Zhao Dachui.
Therefore, when Su Yan wants to promulgate some appointments, Su Yang is naturally indispensable.
After hearing Su Yan's words, Su Yang became silent. After a long time, he spoke: "If I become a military citizen, will I still follow the adults?"
"To be honest, I don't know this. You will definitely not leave here in the near future, but after the Liaozhou war is over, I can't say it well, because I am not the one who decides the transfer of the army," Su Yan thought for a moment and said The truth came out.
"I don't want to,"
After thinking for a long time, Su Yang suddenly raised his head with a firm look.
"But if you follow me, no matter how high your contribution is, you will be just a personal soldier at most, and you will have no future."
Su Yan frowned. Although he was reluctant to let talent like Su Yang leave, he could not decide a person's future based on his own wishes.
"I have decided to follow the adults,"
Su Yang said it again and confirmed his feelings.
"Why, don't you want a bright future?" Su Yan was really puzzled.
"Future, I am following the adults. If I leave, how far can I go by myself? Besides, I rarely admire someone, but you are, and you are even younger than me. But the ability and temperament you show are incomparable to me. Therefore, I believe that only by following adults can I grow up. I don’t want to follow a mediocre master,” Su Yang thought for a moment and said He had his own thoughts, his emotions fluctuated, and although his words were a bit inappropriate, they were his heartfelt words.
Su Yan looked at the man with a firm look in front of him, and his heart was ups and downs, moved and relieved. A real man stood in the world and had so many people willing to follow him to the death. How could this friendship make Su Yan not feel surging?
"Su Yang, I promise you that I, Su Yan, will never let you down in my life. One day, I will make you famous all over the world." Su Yan suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, walked to him, pulled up his arm, Said solemnly.
"Sir,"
Su Yang was also moved and fell to the ground and gave a big gift to Su Yan.
"Get up, okay, you go back first."
Su Yan pulled Su Yang up, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and let him leave.
After he left, Su Yan sat back in front of the table, picked up a pen and slashed it on the paper, frowned.
The next day, Su Yan ordered all the soldiers to gather in the school martial arts field, including five thousand soldiers transferred from Liaozhou City.
The 5,000 troops sent by Li Tianyang were all elite soldiers who had been through the battlefield for a long time. He knew the importance of Du Yang, so he naturally would not let Du Yang lose money. Therefore, all the elite troops sent were among them, and some excellent war horses were also excellent.
"Everyone, more than a month ago, the Kongsang army bravely attacked our Liaozhou border, causing our fifteen cities to fall, and our lives were ruined. As soldiers, it is our duty to defend our country, so please do not slacken. Although we have obtained one A victory, but it's just the beginning, and the war will come one after another, and we're still a long way to go,"
Su Yan, wearing armor, said loudly, inspiring the morale of the army.
"Next I read out some appointments of officers,"
"I specially ordered Zhao Dahui to be the captain of the Xiaoqi Camp and lead a thousand cavalry in the city."
"Sun Hai was specially appointed as the captain of the Bow and Crossbow Camp, and the general commanded the 800 crossbowmen in the city."
"Su Fei was specially appointed as the captain of the Long Gun Camp..."
"General Xie,"
Su Yan announced the appointment of five or six people in a row, among which, like Zhao Daechui, Sun Hai was already performing the duties of the lieutenant, and what was missing was only a serious title, but it was really unnamed and finally made people uncomfortable, so when Su Yan announced the appointment Yes, the two of them were really excited, clenched their fists, thinking that it was finally the day to be promoted.
In addition to the two three lieutenants who had previously accompanied the army, Su Yan also put Su Fei in. Because he lacked manpower, Su Fei had also been in the army and was very smart and handed over the first battalion to Su Yan was relieved, and of course he had some selfishness. After all, Su Fei was his own person.
In fact, the actual number of Su Yan's army has exceeded Gu Yu's organization. Originally, a captain led a maximum of about 300 people, but in Su Yan's army, the cavalry camp led by Zhao Dahui alone was enough to have a thousand. There are too many people who exceed the organization.
Su Yan had no choice but to do anything about this, because although he had many soldiers, he could not all be appointed as generals when he placed his title there.
Then Su Yan announced some orders one after another, mainly about Du Yang’s recent arrangements.
In addition to the overall situation, Su Yan's original intention of attacking Duyang was that Jiangling was almost out of food and needed the supply of food and grass.
Duyang City is a large grain-producing city in Liaozhou, but no matter how much it is, it is limited. Now Kongsang has occupied most of the areas of Liaozhou. The only remaining grain is not enough to solve the food and drink problems of the two cities. Besides, Duyang is now defending troops. Nearly seven thousand, there is too much food and grass required.
The only way to solve this problem is to collect grain from the surrounding villages and towns, but now other villages and towns have fallen, so Su Yan’s main problem is to expel the Kongsang army in the villages and towns to obtain food and grass.
With Su Yan's order, the army began to leave the city with their respective lieutenants. Each time they left the city, there were only three battalions, and alternated. After about half a month, Su Yan had already put the outside of Duyang City. Almost all of Kongsang's troops were expelled and recaptured the surrounding villages and towns.
It is autumn now, and it is also the season for harvesting grain. Before Kongsang's army took away the food, Su Yan's army had already taken back the villages and towns.
Su Yan is now equivalent to the city lord of Duyang, so he issued an order to collect grain, but left enough food for farmers for one quarter, and exempted all taxes during the war, leaving a way out for the people. If the grain was plundered completely , it is tantamount to killing chickens to get eggs. If the war lasts for a long time, the food and grass will be powerless.
During this period, in addition to training troops, Su Yan also ordered craftsmen to build war equipment in case of emergency.
In addition to the conventional catapults and crossbows, Su Yan also drew some drawings of equipment according to his memory, so that craftsmen could create them.
