Originally, in this battle, due to death, disability, dispersion and other reasons, the total strength of more than 70,000 troops was reduced to more than 50,000. This recruitment not only made up for the previous losses, but also recruited three more recruits.

Thousands of people, controlling the total strength of the Pei family army to 110,000.

These 110,000 people are divided into three main armies, namely the Dingguo Army, the Yongwu Army, and the Xuanwu Army, which was just expanded from the original Pei Zhuer's Department and was named by Pei Xiaoer. Each army has a quota of 30,000 people.

The total number of these three armies is 90,000.

The admirals of these three armies were Liu Changle of the Dingguo Army, and Pei Zhuer, the admiral of the Yongwu Army. As for the newly established Xuanwu Army, they were awarded Li Guojun, who performed extremely well in this battle. They danced happily and almost let

Pei Xiaoer made a substitution on the spot.

In addition, two town-level units belonging only to Pei Xiaoer were established, with 10,000 people in each town. The general soldiers of the two towns were Feng Kebin and Wang Daozhi.

Wang Daozhi was really in trouble this time. First, he failed to command well in the battle and was led by Deng Qi to break out. Then, on the way to pursue Deng Qi, he rashly attacked Shaoqiuling where Deng Qi was stationed. The two battles caused him to

The Yongwu Army under his command suffered heavy losses. It can be said that three-quarters of the losses of the Pei family army came from the Yongwu Army.

As the admiral of the Yongwu Army, Wang Daozhi naturally had an unshirkable responsibility. When Pei Xiaoer arrived at Shaoqiu Ridge, Wang Daozhi had already been injured and fainted. To sum up, Pei Xiaoer only demoted Wang Daozhi by one level.

Reaching the position of commander-in-chief was a punishment given to him.

The recruited new soldiers also need to be assigned to various armies, distribute weapons, uniforms, recovery training and other trivial matters. Naturally, it cannot be completed in just ten days. In fact, in addition to the bravery of the Pei family's army, the two armies of Dingguo still have one

With the power of war, other weavings are still chaotic empty shells.

In addition, Song Meng has now recovered from his injuries and can go out to continue serving the Pei family army. In this way, Hu Shi'an can only come back temporarily and continue to be the captain of his personal soldiers. However, judging from his expression, he is still very satisfied with this arrangement.

"According to the spies' reports, the Han River in the northwest of Huguang is indeed navigable. Not only that, the mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and the roads are difficult to navigate. The Taizu of this dynasty once said that the Yunyang mountainous area is located in the middle of the country, with large mountains and deep valleys, dense forests, and fertile soil.

Those who use it can covet the world.

So General Deng Yu was sent to lead a large army to drive away the residents of the Yunyang mountainous area. Yunyang was designated as the largest forbidden mountainous area. "The land is empty and the people are not allowed to enter." He also set up heavy troops to guard and check and prohibit the people from entering.

For another seventy years, the government was corrupted, and the powerful officials and gentry madly expropriated farmers' land. Millions of farmers lost their land all over the country. Most of these refugees gathered here to rule the refugees here for the 12th year of Chenghua.

, the imperial court set up Yunyang Mansion to command the area.

Later, the area governed by Yunyang Prefecture continued to expand. At its largest scale, Yunyang Prefecture governed four provinces, eight prefectures, nine states, and 65 prefectures and counties, including the world-famous Xi'an Prefecture, Hanzhong Prefecture, Nanyang Prefecture, Jingzhou Prefecture, and Xiangyang Prefecture.

ever

Return to Yunyang to rule and control. Of course, Yunyang is not as big as it was back then. In Yunyang now, the government is corrupt and corruption is rampant. The people have been suffering for a long time, just like a pile of dry firewood, just waiting for that little spark."

Qiao Chun stood in front of the map, pointed at the Yunyang Mountain area, and explained to the civil and military officials.

"Everyone knows the situation in Yunyang." Pei Xiaoer took over and continued: "According to the original plan, we should turn from Nanyang to Shangnan, pass through Wuguan and enter Shaanxi, but everyone also knows the situation in Shaanxi, then

But in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, millions of rebels, officers and soldiers are just like raising poisonous insects, killing each other in such a small area. It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse for us to just walk in so carelessly."

"In that case, we won't go to Shaanxi. Not to mention taking a long way to Shaanxi, the more important thing is that it is not safe. We have just reorganized the army, and the recruits are almost half. So many recruits will greatly affect the combat effectiveness. If we

If you rush to Shaanxi, you may be able to defeat one or two officers and soldiers, but victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. A good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves. If you fight too many battles, you will eventually lose.

The officers and soldiers can lose one, two, or even three or four games, but we can't. A small loss is okay, but if we lose badly, it will be extremely difficult for our Pei family army to restore it to its current glory. Therefore,

I suggest that we take the Yunyang road and bypass Shaanxi."

Li Guojun, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanwu Army, was the first to step forward. He had just been promoted to commander-in-chief and was very active now.

"I also agree to take a detour and take the Yunyang road directly." Pei Xiaosan also said.

"Where are the others? Let's talk about whatever opinions you have. Military discussions are all about talking. It doesn't matter whether what you say is right or not, just tell your own truth." Pei Xiaoer glanced at Liu Changle and saw

The latter lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in front of him without saying a word, with no joy on his face.

Pei Xiaoer sighed. He knew Liu Changle's attitude. Although Shaanxi was dangerous, his brother Liu Zhizu was in Shaanxi. When Pei Xiaoer separated from Liu Zhizu and Zhang Zhiyuan in Shanxi, the route arranged for Liu Zhizu was to cross

Passed through Shaanxi and met his master

They gathered their forces and then went south to attack Hanzhong and Sichuan together. Now that the main force on their side suddenly did not join up, Liu Zhizu's situation was immediately several times more dangerous. As the only brother, Liu Changle wanted to go to Shaanxi to join Liu Zhizu as planned.

It's just that this route is obviously contrary to the overall interests of the Pei Jiajun. From the Pei Jiajun's point of view, the priority is to reach Hanzhong safely.

In the lobby, all the generals have expressed their opinions sooner or later. The vast majority of people are in favor of going up the Han River to Hanzhong instead of going to Shaanxi. There are only a few people who say they want to go to Shaanxi.

Pei Xiaoer's eyes surrendered to Pei Zhuer, who had not yet expressed his stance.

Pei Zhu'er felt Pei Xiaoer's gaze, turned around and glanced at Liu Changle, who was silent, and stood up and said: "I think we should go to Yunyang, so as to save the green mountains without worrying about having no firewood."

We ourselves, if there are traces of Liu Zhizu in the future, we can send troops to respond, otherwise we ourselves will be lost, let alone respond to Liu Zhizu."

Pei Zhuer's words seemed to express his own views, and seemed to comfort Liu Changle. At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Liu Changle, who had not yet expressed his stance.

Pei Xiaoer knew that this choice was extremely difficult for Liu Changle, so he didn't want to force him. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Liu Changle slowly say: "I also agree to go to Yunyang." After saying that, he fell into another trap.

Silence, not talking.

In Youdao, people can't help themselves in the world, and this is no different in Pei Xiaoer's position. He now has hundreds of thousands of people under his command. The life and death of hundreds of thousands of people depend on Pei Xiaoer's decision-making. Once the decision is wrong, then

The lives of hundreds of thousands of people were probably lost in smoke.

Therefore, Pei Xiaoer must maintain an absolutely calm attitude at all times and not be swayed by any emotions. He does not even care about the life and death of his former friend Liu Zhizu.

"In this case, the army will set off to the west early tomorrow morning. Qiao Chun, go and tell the envoy sent by Xuanmo that I promised him the Tang Dynasty King Zhu Yujian, and asked him to send part of the promised chips first, and then we will

Let him go, in a word, let him stay in that yard, don't come out, stabilize him and delay time." Pei Xiaoer ordered.

The envoy sent by Xuanmo has been under house arrest in a courtyard for the past few days and has never been released from the hospital. In addition, not long after the Pei family army entered the city, Pei Xiaoer had already transferred all the troops out of the city, leaving only the recruiting troops in the city.

Lu Wenfan, who was recruiting new soldiers, had a new barracks and a few civil servants. Therefore, the envoy so far did not know that the Pei family army had already packed up and was only waiting for Pei Xiaoer's order to break camp and head west.

"Yes, I humbly accept my order." Qiao Chun stood up and bowed.

"Song Meng."

"The end will be here."

"Are Xuanmo's sentries still spying on our movements these days?"

"Back to the general, our cavalry battalion fought fifty-four times with the enemy's sentries, killing more than 520 enemy sentries. Now the enemy's sentries no longer dare to get too close for reconnaissance."

Pei Xiaoer nodded, "Well done. Our army will set off tomorrow. I don't want Xuan Mo to know about it just after I leave. Do you understand?"

"General, I understand. I promise not to let any sentry go back alive." Song Meng promised, patting his chest.

"That's good." Pei Xiaoer glanced at the other generals, "Everyone obeys the order."

"The general is here." The generals stood up and responded loudly.
