Volume 1, Entering the Tang Dynasty for the First Time Chapter 64: The Military Master’s Remarks Are Really Brilliant
Lu Chen was not polite and directly thanked Li Xiuning: "Thank you, Commander, for your kindness. I wonder what the number of this guard is?"
No matter what kind of army it is, it must have a designation, right? These people are not his own generals, they are just guard cadres given by Li Xiuning. Lu Chen is not stupid enough to directly use these people as his future members. To put it bluntly,
These people were sent by Li Xiuning to protect Lu Chen.
Prince Li Jiancheng of the East Palace has the Sixth Command of the East Palace, King Qin Li Shimin has the Tiance Army and the Xuanjia Army, and Li Xiuning has his own Women's Army and Guards. Lu Chen's guard also needs a designation. It can't just be called Lu Chen.
Guards, that thing is too low.
"This guard will be the personal army of the military advisor from now on. As for the name, the military advisor can decide it himself and then inform me!" As soon as Li Xiuning said this, giving Lu Chen the right to name it was equivalent to directly naming this guard, including these few
All the generals were given to Lu Chen.
"Then this guard will be named after the word 'Beiwei'!" Lu Chen suddenly remembered the "Beiwei Army" of the famous Southern Song Dynasty general and national hero Yue Fei. Yue Fei was Lu Chen's idol, and now Lu Chen was going to borrow it.
Marshal Yue's name of "Beiwei Army", of course, Lu Chen would not disgrace this name. Later, the world-famous "Beiwei Army" was established at this time.
"Beiwei?" Li Xiuning was slightly stunned when he heard the name Lu Chen said, "I wonder why the military advisor chose such a name?"
"The people of Yanbei call the wine bottle Wei, and the general's wine bottle must be carried by his trusted people. Therefore, Bei Wei is a name for the trusted people. Now the commander-in-chief has given this guard to me, and they will be my close friends from now on."
He is named after the word "Beiwei"!" Lu Chen explained to Li Xiuning.
"Oh! That's it!" Li Xiuning nodded after hearing Lu Chen's explanation, "Then your guard will be called the 'Beiwei Soldiers' from now on!"
In fact, the word "Bei Wei" has another origin, which is the word "Ya Tou Bei Wei" from Xixia. Xixia originated from the Dangxiang people. In the Dangxiang language, dragons and eagles are also called "Wei", and snakes are also called "Wei".
The pronunciation of the word is similar to "bei", so the "Beiwei Army" can also be called the "Army of Dragons and Snakes". Of course, when it comes to the issue of "dragon", it is said that the emperor is the "true dragon emperor".
If Lu Chen said this explanation, it would easily cause Li Xiuning's displeasure, so Lu Chen did not say the second explanation.
"Thank you, Commander, for the name!" Although Lu Chen came up with this name, it cannot be used without Li Xiuning's consent. Therefore, Lu Chen still wants to thank Li Xiuning for agreeing to use this name. Of course, Li Xiuning will also be proud of today's decision in the future.
, after all, the world-famous "Beiwei Army" was named after her.
As Lu Chen thanked Li Xiuning, Fang Qi, Meng Ji, Su Dingfang and others all also thanked Li Xiuning. At the same time, they looked at Lu Chen with burning eyes. This person will be their leader from now on, and he has the word "倬嬵" on his back.
The meaning also made everyone's hearts agitate. How much did the military advisor trust himself to name his personal guard with the word "Beiwei".
And the scorching gazes of Fang Qi and others directly made Lu Chen's heart tremble. Isn't it just a name? Is it necessary to look at him with such fanatical eyes?
"Report!" At this moment, guards came in from outside to report.
"Say!" Li Xiuning looked directly at the soldiers who came to report.
"Tian Liu'an, the general manager of Weizhou, is outside asking for an audience!" the guard knelt on one knee and reported.
Naturally, those who followed Li Xiuning back were a group of soldiers from the Detachment of Women, as well as Su Dingfang and others. As for Tian Liuan, he took orders from Li Xiuning and was finishing the work.
"Xuan!" Li Xiuning nodded slightly to the guard. The guard stood up and went out. Tian Liuan, who had already changed into a pair of clean clothes, walked in from the door.
"My lord, Tian Liuan, the general manager of Weizhou, has met Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!" Tian Liuan bowed and saluted Li Xiuning.
The reason why Tian Liuan called Li Xiuning "Princess Pingyang" was because even though Li Xiuning commanded a huge Detachment of Women, and the soldiers of the Detachment of Women often called Li Xiuning "Commander", in fact Li Xiuning did not have the title of Commander-in-Chief.
, her title is still "Princess Pingyang", so Tian Liuan can only call Li Xiuning "Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang".
"Mr. Tian is exempt from the gift!" Li Xiuning looked at Tian Liu'an calmly, "Why did Mr. Tian come to me?"
"Your Highness, the battlefield outside the city has been cleared, the enemy's corpses have been buried, and our wounded soldiers are being treated. However, our dead soldiers, as well as those who surrendered, I hope your Highness will tell you how to deal with them!" Tian Liu'an said again!
Shi Li asked.
It's not that Tian Liu'an didn't want to deal with it, but the number of surrendered troops was actually too large. There were more than a dozen of Liu Heitai's generals captured in this battle. As for the soldiers and civilians who were taken away, there were only four left behind.
Fifty thousand, his Weizhou city cannot accommodate so many people.
"Military advisor, what do you think of this matter?" Li Xiuning turned to look at Lu Chen. After all, the entire plan was arranged by Lu Chen, and naturally the follow-up work had to be arranged by Lu Chen.
"The soldiers will be compensated as usual. As for those who surrendered as soldiers and generals, if they are willing to continue to serve as soldiers, they can stay in the army. Of course, they must break up the organization and reorganize the team. Those who are not willing to continue to serve as soldiers can be paid travel expenses.
Just let him return to his hometown!" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning, waiting for Li Xiuning's decision.
In fact, Lu Chen didn't have other ideas, but it was too difficult to implement these ideas now. In addition, this place was not the place to discuss the matter, so Lu Chen buried other ideas in his heart, but
Fortunately, the battle of Weizhou City was mainly caused by Liu Heitai's unilateral chaos, and most of the casualties were concentrated among Liu Heitai's rebel troops.
The casualties of the Weizhou City defenders were mainly caused by those who resisted in the later period. They were not too many, only a few hundred people. As for the Detachment of Women, it can be said that there were zero casualties, because their main task was to protect Li Xiuning.
Therefore, when dealing with those who stubbornly resisted, the soldiers of the Detachment of Women did not fight.
"Well! What the military advisor said makes sense, just do it according to what the military advisor said! Tian Liu'an, do you understand?" Li Xiuning also agreed to Lu Chen's arrangement and directly ordered Tian Liu'an to follow it.
Seeing that Li Xiuning had said this, Tian Liuan could only accept the order and leave.
Li Xiuning didn't seem to have much interest in surrendering generals and troops.
When Tian Liu'an was dealing with the surrender of troops and generals, Li Xiuning wrote a memorial and sent it to the court, then ordered the troops to leave and go directly back to Niangzi Pass, without even staying in Weizhou City for one more day.
Li Xiuning, Lu Chen and others patted their butts and left. Tian Liuan was a little confused. With so many surrendered troops and generals, Li Xiuning just left them to him? He had merit in integrating these surrendered troops and generals, so Li Xiuning just left like this?
Isn't she afraid that the prince and King Qin will send people to divide these people?
Don't underestimate these 30,000 to 40,000 people. Whether these people fall into the hands of Prince Li Jiancheng or King of Qin Li Shimin, they are still a big force. Tian Liuan is from Li Shimin's line, so he naturally wants to give these people away.
Li Shimin, but Li Shimin is far away in Qinzhou now, and the closest one is Li Jiancheng in Youzhou.
Such a big event as the Battle of Weizhou City must not be hidden from Li Jiancheng. Seeing that he has so many surrendered troops and generals, Li Jiancheng must come over to get a share of the pie. Tian Liuan paced back and forth in the study, thinking about how to hold Li Jiancheng back.
, let Li Shimin receive these surrendered soldiers and generals.
After thinking for a long time, Tian Liuan immediately began to write quickly, then opened the door of the study, summoned a servant, and asked him to rush to Qinzhou to deliver a message to Li Shimin. As for the memorial to report the victory, someone had already sent it to the imperial court.
.
"Military advisor, why do you think the commander-in-chief doesn't want those surrendered troops and generals? With those thirty or forty thousand people, won't our women's army become stronger?" On the way back to Niangziguan, Fang Qi caught up with Lu Chen, and when Lu Chen
The person next to me said with a regretful expression.
"Dingfang, tell this idiot why the commander-in-chief doesn't want those soldiers and generals to surrender!" Lu Chen gave Fang Qi a blank look and asked Su Dingfang to answer Fang Qi's question.
"General Fang," Su Dingfang handed over to Fang Qiyi. After all, his current status can only be regarded as the commander of Lu Chen's personal soldiers, which is still incomparable with Fang Qi's position. In addition, he was born as a general, so he naturally
The other party greeted him politely, "General, you don't want these soldiers to surrender. I think it is a wise move. Although these people can be regarded as soldiers, but compared with the Detachment of Women, they are just a rabble. No matter how many rabble there are, they are nothing."
A mob? Plus, to put it bluntly, I am from that side myself and know those people very well. To be honest, most of Liu Heita's team are rogues. It's okay to let these people rob families and homes. Really
If you want to join the army and train every day, it will be good if you can leave 10,000 of these 30,000 to 40,000 people in the end!" Su Dingfang said with some disdain, "So it is reasonable for the commander to do this!"
"Oh!" Hearing Su Dingfang's words, Fang Qi said "oh" directly, "Then according to the words of the military advisor, these people are the people who 'eat nothing and can't do anything'!"
"The military advisor's words are really insightful!" Su Dingfang rushed directly to Lu Chen and cupped his hands.
"Old Su! Why are you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, starting to flatter you!" Lu Chen glanced at Su Dingfang speechlessly. Wasn't it said in history that Su Dingfang was rigorous in military management and extremely brave? Why are you starting to flatter others now?
Where is it?
"I'm just telling the truth. The military advisor's summary of Liu Heita's soldiers was so accurate. He revealed the essence of these people in just one sentence. This subordinate has to admire the military advisor's vision!" Su Dingfang's face was not red and his heart was not beating.
He continued to compliment Lu Chen, but he was lucky enough not to make Lu Chen fall off his horse due to the compliment.
