Chapter 130 Snow Exercise

As soon as the news of the rebellion of Qiang in Jincheng County reached Fujiao Fort, Li Qin immediately sent all scouts to Jincheng County to inquire about the news. Half a month later, the scouts came back one after another to report to Li Qin about the rebellion of Qiang in this time. After listening to the reports of Wu Danzi and others, Li Qin invited the officers' meeting of Fujiao Fort to discuss the matter.

After large-scale construction, all efforts have been made to build a city and houses. Fujiao Fort has now been expanded into six castles. With the old Fujiao Fort as the center, five new castles have been built around it, all of which are castles, all with three meters high. The walls of the old Fujiao Fort have been raised and reinforced, and are no longer like a terrain.

In terms of scale and area, Fujiao Fort has exceeded any county in Beicheng County, and the population has soared, with nearly 30,000 people. Not only are there more people than any county in Beidi County, but there are even a vague trend of catching up with Long County. The people of Hu and Han have always increased, and it is estimated that several new castles will have to be built in the beginning of spring next year.

Such a huge scale requires matching strength. If you want to make your strength bigger, it is not enough to rely on Beidi County to make trouble. You have to absorb the manpower and financial resources outside Beidi County. This is necessary to expand. The military and civilians of each Fujiao Fort know that Li Qin's status must go further, from the county lieutenant to the state, and Li Qin's status can only be achieved through foreign wars. So now the Xianling Qiang rebellion in Jincheng County will undoubtedly provide a good opportunity.

Old Fujiao Fort, the lieutenant's office.

Although the lieutenant built a rough and to put it bluntly, the lobby is still quite stylish. Li Qin sat at the back of the innermost case in the lobby, Jia Xu sat at his lower left, Meng Mu sat at the lower right, and Dian Wei sat at the back of Li Qin's side, and the officers of Fujiao Fort separated from each side, from both sides of the lobby.

The hall was full of seats, with dozens of people, silently waiting for Li Qin to speak.

Li Qin coughed, clapped his hands, and said, "It's snowing, it's cold, come here, I'll give you hot soup first so that you can warm up first."

The servants sent hot soup to the table, and then they all retreated and closed the door.

Only the officers were left in the hall. Shen Yi was the most impatient. He didn't drink hot soup and shouted: "Li Lang, Beigong Boyu in Jincheng County rebelled. General Leng would probably not be able to suppress him. I guess he might be able to transfer our Fujiao Army to the place. What kind of constitution is there? Li Lang quickly bring it out and let us listen!"

Li Qin said: "It's not a good thing to be transferred to war. War will kill people. Why are you in a hurry?"

Shen Yi shook his head and said, "We have experienced it last time when we had a fight with Liu Jiu. And now there are more people. If we start another war, there will not be many casualties."

The officers nodded one after another. Most of them were veterans who participated in the Battle of Lian County. They experienced bloody battles. In response to that battle, they summarized a lot of experience and used them in their daily training. It can be said that if they started a war with others, the Fujiao Army would never have such a high casualty ratio.

Li Qin said: "I hope this is the case. Of course, the fewer casualties, the better. Wu Danzi, come and tell you what you saw and heard when you went to Jincheng County this time."

As the scout leader, Wu Danzi is now the Sima of the Army, in charge of the cavalry of the Jiao Army. He heard Li Qin say that he quickly agreed, and then he followed Li Qin's appearance and coughed first, then said: "I went to Jincheng County this time and found that this rebellion of Beigong Boyu is different from the past, and it can be said that it is very different..."

Wu Xiaosan smiled and said, "It's different from the past, just like Beigong Boyu rebelled in the past, and you all know it."

Wu Xiaosan is now also a military sage. As his status increases, he has begun to ask people to compile his Wu family genealogy, which is considered a quasi-rich family in Fujiao Fort.

Jia Xu said: "Don't talk nonsense, listen to the Sima of the Wu army." He glared at Wu Xiaosan.

Wu Danzi actually asked someone to compile his family genealogy. He even intended to change his name, wanting to be Li's surname, and wanting to claim to be Li Qin's distant relative, but Li Qin did not agree, so the change of his name was delayed.

Wu Danzi smiled at Wu Xiaosan and said, "I just know, how about it, can you eat me?"

After pausing, he said: "In the past, Beigong Boyu rebelled and attacked a county town. After looting, he withdrew his troops. He was afraid that the officers and soldiers would encircle and fight, so he basically fought one battle and changed the place. But this time, he learned what it means to do step by step. Every time he attacked a county town, he sent troops to guard the people, and appointed officials to manage the people, and did not rob them randomly, so his power was getting bigger and bigger."

Jia Xu said: "Beigong Boyu captured three counties and established a foothold, and immediately encircled Yunwu County. This is the practice of directly taking over the Central Palace. If he captured Yunwu County, Jincheng County would have no county magistrates and chaos in various places. He is very likely to occupy the entire Jincheng County by the end of this year."

The officers looked at me, and I looked at you, and said one after another: "Why did Beigong Boyu suddenly become smart? If he had used this method to rebel, he might have really become a climate!"

Wu Danzi said, "If we are scouts, if we can only find these open news, then we will not be scouts. I personally vested into the Qiang people and inquired from them from many sources. I learned that Beigong Boyu had a military advisor. This military advisor was planned by this military advisor. This military advisor was a Han Chinese citizen, not a Qiang person, and was a local from Jincheng County. He knew very well about the details of Jincheng County, so he surrounded Yunwu County with one blow, forcing the county magistrate to ask for help from Long County."

"Han Sui? Who is that? I haven't heard of it!" Shen Yi and others asked each other, but they had never heard of the name Han Sui.

Li Qin said: "This Han Sui is the former Jincheng County employed, and his original name is Han Yue."

The officers suddenly realized that Han Sui was sensational in Long County and became irritated with Li Qin in public. Everyone knew about this. Unexpectedly, this man rebelled and became Beigong Boyu's military advisor.

When Zhao Zheng heard the word Han Yue, his face changed and turned pale. He did not kill Han Sui at the beginning. He had never told anyone about this except Jia Xu, and he regarded it as a great humiliation in this life.

Li Qin said: "General Leng is my teacher in name. When the teacher is in trouble, I, a student, have to help. And according to the news he found out, the 10,000 soldiers he brought were afraid that he would not be able to deal with Beigong Boyu, so it will be a matter of time before I send troops to Fujiao Fort. Maybe the order to dispatch soldiers will be delivered in the next few days."

He looked at the officers present and shouted: "You guys, you are ready for the expedition!" He was asking, but he was using a certain tone.

The officers replied in unison: "Be ready, always prepare!"

Li Qin clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then we will have a grand ceremony for the whole army and be the pre-war chief officer. Also, General Meng will be responsible for the allocation of food, grass, and military supplies."

Meng Mu immediately replied: "My subordinates must do their best!" He is now the position of the Army Sima. He is not as fast as the old Gujiao Soldiers, and has always been responsible for logistics work. However, Li Qin said that he is the first person in the Army Sima. If he has the opportunity to be promoted in the future, he will give priority to it. No matter what, fighting is to fight logistics, especially the army combat. The larger the scale, the heavier the logistics pressure, so Meng Mu's burden is not only not lighter than the combat generals, but heavier.

Everyone discussed specific matters and then parted with the meeting and went down to prepare.

We prepared for two days, and on the third day, the new army of the Fujiao Army held its first major exercise after its establishment and the last major exercise before the expedition.

Just as dawn, Tang Jie brought the officials to watch it. He came to inspect the Fujiao Army in the past, but now he can only say he is supporting him. The Fujiao Army has completely escaped from the control of his county magistrate, so Tang Jie can only be a bystander.

On the exercise venue, a new earth wall was built. The earth wall was very strong and high, almost as high as the city wall of the county town, twenty feet long, and a city gate was built in the middle of the earth wall, which was exactly the same as the city gate of the county town. A ditch was built in front of the earth wall, which was regarded as a moat. It was only because the weather was cold and could not be injected into the river water, so the moat was just a decoration, but the people poured water on the front of the ditches and behind the ditches, making the front of the earth wall slippery.

Behind the earth wall is a fortress city in Fujiao Fort. Li Qin, Tang Jie and Jia Xu and others are all on the fortress city to watch the exercise.

Tang Jie looked at the playground and said to Li Qin: "Li Lang, your army is probably more than 5,000 people now, right? I have no other intentions, but your army is beyond the organization, and the troops led by the county lieutenant must not exceed five units. If the organization exceeds the organization, I am afraid that someone in the court will impeach you, especially some people who have long disliked you!"

This is a kind reminder. Of course, Tang Jie knew that He Jin looked down on Li Qin, and most of the ministers in the court were dissatisfied with Li Qin, but he was the county magistrate of the border counties. Although the views of the ministers in the court were important, but the sky was high and the emperor was far away, he might not be afraid, but it was better to have less trouble than more trouble.

Li Qin said: "Thank you for your reminder, but the subordinates of the last general have only five soldiers, and they are actually all auxiliary soldiers."

He did have only five combat soldiers, but he trained the auxiliary soldiers and combat soldiers together. Although the auxiliary soldiers were not as good as the combat soldiers, they were still much stronger than the combat soldiers elsewhere, but in name, they were still considered auxiliary soldiers!

Tang Jie nodded and said, "It's good to be justified. Anyway, the power of some ministers in the court cannot enter our Beidi County!" He is also arrogant now and has a tendency to disobey the control of the Celestial Empire. Of course, no one cares about the ministers in the court who only know how to make noises.

The Fujiao Army entered the field one after another, and marched in a row. The formation exercises were no different from before. There were only more sword exercises, but they were just using the broken saber to gesture, which was not the main exercise event.

Meng Mu shouted loudly: "Auxiliaries defend the wall, and soldiers attack!"

The drums sounded, and the first time since the founding of the army of the siege, the military began to practice how to attack the city!
Chapter completed!
