Seeing Situ Fei say this, many people secretly despise him, "If you hadn't forced him too much, how could Xu Ye surrender to the enemy?" Of course, this is something that everyone can only think about in their hearts, and that would not be able to say it.
No matter what others think, this is mostly a fatal blow to Lin Shucheng. The three northwest prefectures seem inconspicuous and not very important. Even the three northwest prefectures can be completely abandoned by them.
However, these three northwest prefectures are located in the eastern part of Liangzhou, between the central part and the Western Regions. It is the only way for the Western Regions to lead to Liangzhou and Liangzhou to the Western Regions. Now, Lin Shucheng is going to join the Western Regions countries with the Western Regions.
Join forces to fight against the Zhao army, then the troops of the Western Regions can only connect with the Zhao army through the three northwest prefectures.
However, now that the three northwest prefectures are controlled by the Zhao army, wouldn’t their joint efforts with the Western Regions be a joke? This means that the coalition forces are no longer the coalition forces, but their Liangzhou army. At least in the Western Regions
Only after the ** team defeated the Zhao army in the three western prefectures could the coalition forces fight against the enemy.
However, since the Zhao army occupied the three prefectures, how could it be easy to retreat? In addition, with the current strength of the Liangzhou army, how long can it last? Yanju Prefecture is gone, and the three prefectures in the northwest are gone, and to the east
Lingzhou Prefecture is also in danger. How long can the rest of the area last? Lin Shucheng has no foundation in his heart.
Therefore, when Lin Shucheng heard the news, he felt a little panicked.
"How many Zhao troops were attacked? Xu Ye did not resist at all? Did Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture be attacked by Zhao army? What is the situation in the three northwest prefectures now?"
"Reported to the Grand Commander, according to the spies in Ganzhou Prefecture, the Zhao army attacked the three northwest prefectures this time, which included more than 15,000 elite cavalry, plus the accompanying auxiliary soldiers, a total of more than 25,000. After the Zhao army took the raid, it was a total of more than 25,000.
, instead of attacking Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, they began to kill illegal tyrants in the three prefectures, clear out the horse bandits in the territory, and began to implement the new policy as the Zhao army was under the rule of the Zhao army."
"In addition, the commander of the Zhao army also began to rectify surrendered soldiers in the three northwest prefectures, train them, and recruit young and strong warriors. Moreover, the army began to move towards Dunhuang and Yiwu west, as if there was no intention of advancing eastward. It was also because of the Zhao army.
After killing local illegal tyrants and clearing out horse thieves, the people in the three prefectures began to accept the rule of the Zhao army."
"Even..." After pausing, the messenger continued, "Even the people in Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture learned that the three northwest prefectures allocated land, reduced taxes, and provided seeds and livestock.
Many people began to sneak into the three northwest prefectures. Now, people in Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are in panic, and many wealthy businessmen and powerful clans are running away, causing chaos in the two places."
"Didn't attack Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture? We have also begun to rectify the army and implement new policies in the territory of the three prefectures?" Lin Shucheng did not care about the problems of Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, but instead did not attack the two prefectures that began to riot against the Zhao army.
and panic.
"Damn... they must know that we are now in contact with the countries in the Western Regions. Otherwise, they would not concentrate their troops in the west. Implement new policies in the local area, eliminate horse thieves, and kill the powerful clans who did not obey orders.
It is clearly necessary to consolidate the three palaces and use this as the foundation to deal with the sudden changes that may occur in the west."
Lin Shucheng was really confused: "Then why did Xu Ye suddenly surrender to the enemy? What's going on? Damn it. Second Young Master, aren't you talking about the people from Jiuquan Mansion? No matter whether they are civil or military, they were all arranged by you? But now
The situation is that all the Jiuquan Mansion was taken down by the Zhao army overnight, and it did not play any role. What were these people doing? What were they doing? Could the soldiers and horses in their hands be native chickens and tiles?
"?"
Situ Fei, who was on the other hand, was immediately angry and felt his face lost. But at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything more. The situation in Liangzhou was closely related to his interests, and he also hoped that Liangzhou could hold on.
"Grandmaster, no wonder the second young master. We didn't expect the Zhao army to use the Turkic grassland. As for the defenders in Jiuquan, we would never have thought that there would be Zhao army behind them. After all, Xu Ye and him
More than 10,000 soldiers under his command were still in the west of the palaces." Seeing Situ Fei speechless, He Wen, the left Sima Wang, replied in a deep voice.
"In addition, Xu Ye's betrayal is the most deadly. When the Grand Governor took over, the second prince wanted to eradicate Xu Ye, but it was not accepted by the Grand Governor. Some people disagree with this, thinking that Xu Ye was just a lord.
Er. Now, the problem that the second young master is worried about has become a reality. How can we blame the second young master for losing the three northwest governments?"
"Besides, the Zhao army attacked at night. With Xu Ye's help, how could the weak defenders of Jiuquan Mansion resist? The military strength of the three northwest prefectures is not strong at all.
That can be weakened to facilitate the attack of the Western Regions teams..."
After hearing Wang Hewen say this, Lin Shucheng's face turned pale. After a while, he shouted sternly: "Okay, who is the responsibility? It's not the time to discuss it now. I tell you that the generals will let the defenders of Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture start to march westward.
Attack the land of Jiuquan.”
"Grandmaster, just relying on the defenders of these two prefectures, I'm afraid..." One person said anxiously.
"What this governor needs is to restrain, restrain... do you understand? Only by restraining the Zhao army in the three northwest prefectures can the troops of Gaochang and other countries quickly defeat the Zhao army and come to meet with us."
..............
"Mr. Wei, now I am implementing the new policy, allocating land to the landless people, and strictly assessing the quality of the soldiers. At once, nearly 20,000 soldiers and young men from the three northwest governments and young men are now less than 5,000. In this way, this force is
There is a big vacancy." In Dunhuang City, Xu Ye said to Wei Zilin with a wry smile.
Wei Zilin smiled and said, "General Xu..."
"I am not a general. Lord Wei said this, but he is misleading others!" Xu Ye said hurriedly. Now, Xu Ye will not care about anything like the Liangzhou army in the past.
Wei Zilin smiled and said, "Well, Xu Duwei, as long as this battle, Xu Duwei will be General Xu. General Xu, among these nearly 20,000 soldiers and young men, only 10,000 taels of qualified ones
There are about a thousand people. But many of them are only children in the family and need to support the family and young. We cannot force them to stay."
"In addition, many people are tired of war. They are unwilling to continue serving as soldiers. Our Zhao army will not force them. This is also the difference between our Zhao army and other vassal armies."
Xu Ye was silent. Speaking of this, this was related to the fact that the Yong army repeatedly selected the Liangzhou army. In the past, the Liangzhou army suffered a lot of trouble and suffered heavy casualties. Then he was transferred by the Yong army to the Central Plains to participate in the war years.
There were very few people who returned. Many families had turned from a young and strong man to their only sons. Xu Ye also knew that Wei Zilin's words were reasonable.
"But, Lord Wei, now Gaochang, Shanshan, and the Three Kingdoms have begun to show signs of mobilizing their troops. But the total number of defenders here is only 20,000. Not only do we have to defend the three prefectures, but we also have to distribute them.
The prefectures and counties are county soldiers, and they go to townships to inspect the inspection department. The gap is really not small. If the third team breaks through here, we can..." Xu Ye said with some worries on his face.
Then, then
"What? Xu Duwei was also afraid of losing this battle? I know that Xu Duwei dared to fight against Gaochang and fight with more than 10,000 new soldiers. Although we have not increased much more than our troops now.
His combat power is several times higher than before. Logically speaking, Xu Duwei shouldn't have done this!"
Xu Ye said: "Why should Lord Wei tease me? In the past, the battle was just a battle against the Gaochang family and a partial army. But now, as far as we know, the Liangzhou army is the western prefectures of Liangzhou.
Selling with the countries of the Western Regions. If these countries want to grow stronger, they have received the promise of the Liangzhou army. How could they not send out their full strength? Although Xu is not afraid of them, Xu does not want an accident. By then, the people here will be
It's been in trouble."
When it comes to the collusion between the Liangzhou army and the western countries, Wei Zilin's smile gradually closed. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "What you are worried about is very reasonable. Let's do this, post a notice and recruit soldiers. With me, Zhao
The treatment of the army should be able to summon some young and strong people to join the army. At that time, the troops stationed in the local area will be mainly equipped with the new army, while the Zhao army will be used as the participating army."
"As for Gaochang and other countries, there is no need to worry too much now. Now the people of the Three Kingdoms should care more about the situation in the three northwest prefectures. They should not send troops until they find out the situation. When they send troops, we will also
You should be ready to fight.”
"Okay, then Xu will start recruiting troops in the three palaces."
..............
Immediately, on the same day, the news that the Zhao army began to recruit soldiers quickly spread throughout the counties of Dunhuang Prefecture, and the next day it spread in Yiwu and Jiuquan Prefecture. Although the people in these three prefectures responded significantly,
There are not many applicants. Many people are not optimistic about Wei Jun, even if they are Zhao Jun.
In the room, Wei Zilin frowned and looked at the government affairs report in his hand. The situation in the three northwest prefectures was not good, or even very bad. Originally, the three northwest prefectures in Liangzhou were the most poor in Liangzhou, and
The horse thieves were in trouble and the harassed countries in the Western Regions caused the people here to migrate and flee.
More importantly, there are not many Han people here. Although there are not many other tribes, they have a wide range of branches and are brave and ruthless, and are not easy to control. Therefore, in the prefectures and local counties in the northwest of this northwest
The soldiers are responsible for a lot of money.
In addition, the Yiwu Mansion here is connected to the Western Turks to the north, and the Western Regions to the west, but the local area is not a place for grain production, making it difficult to maintain the needs of the army. To stabilize the place, you must continue to move northward and towards
Only the west expansion can be achieved. In the end, Wei Zilin could only sigh so much.
"Mr. Wei!" Xu Ye hurried into the room and said in a slightly bitter tone, "Mr. Wei, you have to think of a solution for me."
"What, is the recruitment of troops not going well?" Wei Zilin asked with a smile.
"Everyone knows it!" Xu Ye sighed, "It's not only Yiwu and Dunhuang, but also General Xue, the situation is not very good. The people here are suffering from war and most of them are unwilling to serve as the army.
"
"In addition, there are many Turks, Tuyuhun people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people who are willing to apply. I want to ask you, can we recruit a group of these people? Although these people are not Han people, their physical fitness is indeed
Excellent, if you are a military officer, you are a good player.”
Wei Zilin frowned and said, "Since I have recruited new soldiers this time, I will prepare to ask the new camp to summon about 10,000 new soldiers. With a little training, it will not only stabilize the local area and resist the countries in the Western Regions, but also attack Ganzhou to the east.
The prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture. We even took down Shanshan directly, and restored rule in less than two places. Therefore, this new soldier must be used by us, and there will be no hidden dangers."
"And these Turks, Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Tubo people are all enemies around us. Is it reliable? Will it leave hidden dangers? Therefore, you can recruit them, but try to use them as little as possible.
, Do you know these people?"
Xu Ye said in a deep voice: "Although these foreign races are our enemies, most of the scattered foreign races living in Liangzhou will not pose too much threat to us. These scattered foreign races are basically in this place.
The tribe cannot live, so they can come to my Han area to seek life as a wanderer."
"However, Master Wei is worried about it. If you are not my race, your heart will be different. These people are available, they cannot be reused, and they cannot occupy too high a proportion. But..."
Wei Zilin said indifferently: "Since that's the case, then choose some people to join our army. I believe that if we can train under the experience of the recruits, then they can become our people. However, the proportion cannot be too large.
, The important thing is to depend on us Chinese people.”
"How about the private soldiers of the garrison captured from the powerful clans in the three palaces? Can they be used?"
Xu Ye said: "It is useful to use it, but they have too many bad habits, which is really..."
"It's okay!" Wei Zilin smiled indifferently and said, "No matter how bad your habits are, as long as you can stay in the recruit camp, it's not a problem. In my Great Zhao army, I don't know how many people who have bad habits in the past are now, but now they are not as good as the stern guard.
The iron-blooded army of military discipline!”
"In addition, although the base of the three northwest prefectures is small, after many conscripts, fewer people joining the army here than other prefectures and counties. The three prefectures here have basically been abandoned by the Liangzhou army.
It is said that it is no longer a problem to recruit tens of thousands of people here."
Xu Ye smiled bitterly, "But the problem is that the Han people here refuse to come and apply for the recruitment, and we cannot force them, so what if we do."
Wei Zilin smiled slightly and said, "These people don't know that if the enemy troops in the west and the Liangzhou troops in the east invade, everything they have now will no longer exist. In this way, I will let the local officials do a good job.
These people explain it. If you want to enjoy such a life, you need to protect it with weapons. In addition, the powerful and powerful people in various prefectures can also explain it to the people of all over the country for assistance!”
Afterwards, Wei Zilin asked the government officials from all over the country to gather the only remaining tyrants in the prefectures and counties to help the government encourage young and strong people to join the army. These tyrants and businessmen are now frightened, for fear that if they are accidentally taken, they will be all over the Zhao army.
Killing, naturally, I dare not refuse.
Nowadays, the powerful and businessmen, all the private soldiers in their homes were confiscated by the government. In addition to some slaves and a small number of guards, the large number of private soldiers in the past became the labor force for the Zhao army to rectify the local areas. Therefore, they did not dare and did not.
The strength is the same as before, and the government challenged the government.
At the same time, government officials in various places have also begun to secretly send people to promote that the Liangzhou army in the east and the Western Region army in the west will invade the three northwest prefectures. If the Zhao army in the three west cannot resist, then the people will enjoy it now.
Everything will no longer exist. Therefore, in order to protect the current interests, young and strong people must join the army enthusiastically and fight with themselves for their families.
The people of the three northwest prefectures naturally do not want to return to their old life. In addition, it would be better if the Liangzhou army came alone. Although they might not have the same life as they are now, at least they can live.
Unfortunately, if the Western Regions teams in the west come, they will be completely in trouble.
Therefore, under this situation, these people also know that if we want to continue our current life, we must ensure that the three northwest prefectures are not lost. We must use force to resist the enemy.
At this time, a group of foreigners were recruited where the army was recruited. Immediately, based on the treatment of the soldiers, these new foreigners not only obtained land for their families, but also received considerable money for their families. Of course, most of them were made of livestock.
Food is used instead.
Seeing that foreign tribes were still enthusiastic about joining the army, how could the Han people fall behind? Under the secret instigation of some large tribes and merchants, many people still recruited new soldiers. These powerful and wealthy businessmen also began to contribute a batch of military rations to the army.
For this reason, the government can set several examples. As a result, the recruitment points in various places began to change. The recruitment points were originally deserted, but soon a steady stream of young and strong people came to join the army.
A long queue began to queule in front of a recruiting site.
These young and strong slogans are to preserve their current happy life and to resist the invasion of the enemy troops in the west. After a simple selection, ten thousand new soldiers were quickly supplemented. Now, in the three northwest governments, the surrendered soldiers were added.
There were more than 30,000 guarding troops in the 5,000 people. If they had carried a large number of livestock from the grassland and confiscated their property from the homes of a large number of powerful clans and merchants, I am afraid that these three northwest prefectures would not be enough to support them now.
These 30,000 soldiers. As for the future, after Liangzhou was taken down, these problems will naturally not be problems.
"Mr. Wei, you really have you. Ten thousand people are all together!" Xu Ye said with a laugh in the former governor's mansion in Dunhuang City.
"This is not something worthy of praise. The reason why it can be so fast is not because the people here live too hard in the past. They hope to preserve their current lives. All the ten thousand new soldiers and the original weapons surrendered soldiers must be reborn.
It was only after training in the recruits. However, there was no problem in letting them guard the place while training."
Xu Ye smiled and said, "It is a good way to let them train in the process of chasing horse thieves. If these horse thieves are gone, they will be at peace on the ground. What remains is nothing more than to shock the remaining tyrants.
However, the remaining powerful people not only have no minions, but have also been killed by the previous killing, and they have no other thoughts."
