Three days pass by in a flash.

Day 4.

The morning sun just came out, and the morning glow filled half of the sky.

Another sunny day.

At the beginning of the Chen hour, outside the south gate of Chang'an City, the schoolyard was in the desert.

A high altar three meters high and two meters wide stands in the empty wilderness. A nine-foot-high dot platform is built on the high altar, and a brand new Xiliang army flag is inserted behind it, fluttering in the wind.

In the wilderness in front of Jiangtai, the 180,000 infantry and cavalry after fierce battles in the southern suburbs gathered again.

The three-day rest period has passed, and the soldiers of the two armies arrived at the Nanjiao School as scheduled, and returned to their own formation, standing solemnly with weapons in their hands, and the military formation is rigorous.

However, the number of soldiers gathered below the Gaotan Commander's Stage this time was far more than 180,000. Teng Yu and the two generals of Taurus gathered a total of more than 40,000 Xiliang soldiers in three days, most of which were infantry and only more than 3,000 cavalry. In addition, Chang'an and Meiwu cities each had 10,000 defenders, but did not come to gather.

Therefore, the total number of infantry and cavalry of the Xiliang Army is 240,000. This does not include the scattered garrisons stationed in Anyi, Hangu Pass, Huayin, Wuguan, Hedong, Hexi and other passes and counties, nor does it include the 30,000 Wuwei infantry and cavalry of the two counties in Wuwei and Zhangye. If all these garrisons scattered everywhere are added together, there will still be 300,000 troops in Xiliang. With such a huge military force, more than 70% of them are the Xiliang army left by Dong Zhuo during his lifetime. Most of these soldiers were preserved in an established system, not falling apart, nor died in internal strife.

However, during the battle of the southern suburbs, the Xiliang Army and the Wuwei Army sent a total of 310,000 troops, plus the 20,000 soldiers guarding the city, a total of 330,000. But now, only 240,000 soldiers in the Western Liang Army survived, and most of the remaining 90,000 soldiers died in the war, and only a small number of soldiers fled in the chaos and have not returned yet.

If it weren't for the Battle of the Southern Suburbs, after the Wuwei Army was incorporated into the Western Liang Army, Dong Zhuo's bold words that 400,000 Xiliang Army during his lifetime would no longer be empty words, but would be worthy of his reputation. Unfortunately, the fierce battles in the Southern Suburbs, the two armies suffered a total of nearly 90,000 soldiers, and their troops suffered huge losses and their strength dropped sharply.

However, the Battle of the Southern Suburbs is not simply internal strife, but also half of the merits and demerits. There are disadvantages and advantages. If there is no direct and fierce battle, it is unlikely that the Wuwei Army and the Xiliang Army want to integrate into one army. Even the Xiliang Army cannot unify the orders. It is inevitable that the generals will fight openly and secretly, intrigue and split. It is precisely because of the Battle of the Southern Suburbs. The generals of the Xiliang Army died, injured, and the main generals were captured by the Wuwei Army. During the war, the strength of the generals of the Xiliang Army was greatly weakened, and the struggle between the Xiliang generals was directly killed, thus laying a solid foundation for the merger of the two armies.

At the end of the war, the Wuwei Army won, but the various units of the Xiliang Army were broken and broken. In this way, the merger of the two armies has become a foregone conclusion. It is already a general trend for the Wuwei Army to annex the Xiliang Army to form a new Xiliang army, and it is difficult for anyone to stop it.

To put it in detail, the two armies have actually merged. Since the end of the Battle of Southern Suburbs, no one dared to disobey Li Li's orders. Isn't this situation equal to the two armies under the rule of Li Li? With a command, no one in the army dared to refuse. However, this merger is only a superficial situation and temporary. If Li Li had been in charge of Chang'an, no one in the generals of the army would dare to stroke his tiger's beard and dare not disrespect him. If Li Li left Chang'an, then this powerful deterrence would disappear quickly. Then the generals of each unit would still have troops to stand up and do their own affairs.

Therefore, it is imperative to complete the entire army, and it is better to be early than late. If it is late, changes will occur.

Since the entire army is going to consolidate its troops, it is necessary to disperse the original various battalions of the Xiliang Army. Generals at all levels, especially middle and low-level generals, must be re-screened, promoted, suppressed, and even removed some generals. The deployment and resettlement of the main generals of Xiliang is extremely important. They must not only conquer their hearts, but also continue to use their talents, so that they can truly do their best to conquer the world for Li Li, lead troops to fight or guard the border.

To this end, Li Li summoned Jia Xu, Li Xuan, Li Ru, Xu Rong, Bo Cai, Zhang Liao, Pang De and other civil and military officials to discuss repeatedly, and even transferred Teng Xiao, who was stationed in Zhangye County. The reorganization was long before the Nanjiao War, Li Li had already begun to think about the war and garrison situation in the entire Xiliang two prefectures.

In the past two days, Li Li met with Guo Si and Duan Wei, explained the reorganization matters to them, and promised some real benefits. They immediately expressed their willingness to surrender and be loyal to Li Li, and would never go back on their word. In addition to Guo Si and Duan Wei, Li Li also summoned Li Meng, Guo Meng and Wang Fang and other generals alone, and revealed their respective positions and salaries after the reorganization.

After comforting the generals of Xiliang, the entire army arrived as scheduled.

This reorganization of the army will determine the future direction of the Western Liang army, which will affect the life and death of more than 200,000 soldiers in the army, and will indirectly affect the situation in the world.

Such a major event that concerns the situation in the world forced Li Li to be cautious, and he could not neglect the slightest, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

"Dongdongdongdong——"

Thirty strong warriors shook their arms and beat the war drums. The strong war drums shook all directions and covered more than ten miles of wilderness.

The 220,000 soldiers of the entire army stood solemnly in the wilderness, staring at the war drums on the high altar, hoping that the commander of the entire army, Li Li, would appear on stage. There were many wounded soldiers among them, but the assembly today was of great importance and directly determined their respective destinies. So they came with injuries, hoping to enter the powerful battle camp and belong to a famous general.

Even ordinary soldiers are like this, and generals at all levels in the army are even more eagerly looking forward to it. It is related to their own interests, and fame and fortune are here. How can they sit by and watch, and how can they not be nervous and worried about gains and losses?

After the three-way drum, while more than 200,000 soldiers looked up, Li Li wore a tiger-patterned helmet, a golden qilin armor, a dark red lion strap, and auspicious cloud combat boots. He walked steadily onto the high altar and climbed the nine-foot platform.

"Meet the lord!"

"Bless you, see, lord, lord—— lord!"

Suddenly, more than 200,000 people bowed and bowed in unison. The loud sound was enough to shake the sky and the earth, and the sound spread to the wilderness for dozens of miles, and the echoes were stirred for a long time.

"All the soldiers stood up!" Li Li condescended and looked down at the dense soldiers of the army. His mind was in agitation and he said loudly.

After the soldiers stood up, Li Li continued to shout: "Since the founding of the army, our Xiliang army has won many battles and won many battles. It is the most powerful army in the world. In the past, the Prime Minister Dong was in charge of the army and fought for more than ten years. He defeated the Yellow Turbans, quelled the Qiang Rebellion, and went to the north and south, traveling to most prefectures and counties in the world, with outstanding achievements. These are all the achievements of the soldiers. In the battle of Luoyang, our Xiliang army resisted the alliance army of the world's princes with the power of one army. Although he did not win, he was still honored even if he was defeated. In this battle, our army became famous in one battle, shocking all the princes in the world, and shaking the world. No one dared to touch his edge!"

His tone paused. His eyes looked down at the soldiers. Li Li continued: "Wang Yun and other old ministers of the previous dynasty mistakenly thought that the Prime Minister Dong was planning to usurp the rebellion and instigated Lu Bu to assassinate Dong. Lu Bu was unrighteous and killed his master and father, which was a person who was unfaithful and unfilial and unkind and unrighteous in the world. After Dong Prime Minister's death, Lu Bu led his army to kill all the soldiers of our army, causing our Xiliang army to suffer heavy damage and be ashamed of the enemy. At this time of crisis, General Li Jue led his army to fight back. Our Wuwei soldiers and the Xiliang army were on the same line as the Western Liang army. How could we sit and watch? Therefore, the soldiers of the two armies bravely moved forward and captured Chang'an, so that our army could be preserved.

In the battle of the southern suburbs, neither of the soldiers of both armies were wrong. The commander of the two armies was wrong. Instead, some generals in the army were instigated, fearing that our Xiliang army would not be in chaos, and they were insidious and deliberately provoking the two armies to fight. In order to take the fire and take the opportunity to strengthen their own power. This person is Zhang Ji, who sowed the disagreement and prompted the two armies to fight bloody battles, and blood flowed into a river. The laws of nature were clear and retribution was unhappy. Now Zhang Jiye has been executed, and our Xiliang army has also taken this opportunity to combine the two into one and reorganize the more powerful Xiliang army!"

After reviewing the past of the Xiliang Army, Li Li shouted with a solemn expression: "Today is a good day, the weather is beautiful and the sun is shining brightly. Today is a big day. The two armies merge. From now on, there will be no other army in Xiliang, only one army, that is our Xiliang Army!

Now the first order of our general is: From today on, our Xiliang army will be inseparable. If anyone attempts to split our army, once it is confirmed, he will kill him and destroy the nine clans!

The second military order: There is only one commander of our army, that is, I, Li Li, Li Wenchang! As long as I, Li Li, don’t have to worry about my family being unattended, my parents being unsupported, and my children being unsupported. From now on, all soldiers under my command, who are killed in the battlefield will be paid in full to your family according to the martyrs’ pensions, money, grain, land, livestock and oxen. As long as you are not lazy and vulnerable, you will not starve to death!

Starting from the end of this year, the army will set up Chang'an Imperial College and Wuwei Martial Arts Hall in Chang'an City. All subjects in Xiliang can send their children to the school. After paying the tuition, they will choose to study literature and martial arts independently. The eldest son of the martyr is exempted from all fees, free admission to school, and a second son is levied, and 60% of the fees are collected. Except for the orphans of the martyr, the rest must pay the required fees regardless of their status, no exception, even my son Li Li is no exception!

The third military order: This time, the entire army will be reorganized and the generals and garrisons of each battalion will be re-appointed. The original soldiers and horses of each battalion will be dissolved and mixed. The positions of sergeant commander, commander of the team, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, commander of the rank, and commander of the rank, will be resigned by the generals. Any general who does not have the order of the general shall not appoint generals in the army without the order of the general, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be severely punished!

No one shall violate the above three military orders. This order shall not be changed in the lifetime of my life!"

"No! Please follow the orders of the lord general!"

"I hope you will be careful, lord, lord, general, order!"

In the wilderness, except for Li Li, who was at the commanding stage, everyone bowed to take the order. The promise that resounded through the sky shook all directions, and the echoes were long, and the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City, who were several miles away, could hear it clearly.

Li Li raised his hand to signal the soldiers to get up, and he said in a deep voice: "Listen to all the soldiers, let Li Xuan read the orders of the reorganized generals and generals of each battalion. No one is allowed to make noise. Those who violate the order,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and,"———— (To be continued)
