Chapter 317

"Alas... The leader of Qixia sword sect is more anxious than you. He has just won the kuozhou city and is leaving for Hezhou now."

Wei Ran was dealing with the sundries in the army. He raised his head from the vast documents. A Li's hair became more and more crimson. He stood there like a lit torch. It was obviously a fox, but he made a humanized sigh. He looked strange and funny.

Wei Ran couldn't help laughing. "Also, you quietly escaped from Hezhou City. As soon as Zhuo Lancang went back, he didn't know what would happen if he saw you missing."

"In fact, I can disappear. Anyway, it's just an identity. I haven't paid much attention to the scriptures of Qixia sword sect, and their swordsmanship is only a reference for me. Well, it's no use saying so much. Tonight I'm going to return to Hezhou City and start how to stir up the relationship between Qixia sword school and Kongtong school. "

"Do you want to calculate Chang Xuanyi?"

"When else will you have a chance to duel with him? You don't have a chance to fight alone with a decent guard like Qixia sword sect. "

"What are you going to do? Do you need my cooperation? " Wei Ran is very straightforward.

A Li told Wei ran her plan. She not only wanted to stir up the relationship between Qixia sword sect and Kongtong sect, but also wanted to let Zhao Xuanqing, the Wuwei army, start to suspect him through the secret letter Chang Xuanyi wrote to the general of michuan county.

When there was no one around Chang Xuan, Wei Ran found another chance to duel with him, so he was not afraid of being interfered. Of course, Wei Ran didn't relax during this period. The seven injury fist can completely simulate the destructive effect with vigorous Qi. As long as he is not very proficient in the seven injury fist, it is difficult to recognize it even if he opposes it positively.

The blood River Law has been simulated for six points, which will leak flaws when fighting with people, but the bystander can't see the difference.

After the two finished communicating, a Li ran to Hezhou alone at night. When she left, she sighed again. She was more tired than a dog.

After Wei Ran finished the Baojia establishment in the city, he began to recruit new soldiers. However, Zhao Xuanqing promised to expand the dare to die camp into an army. The strength of the army is usually 14000.

With so many people, Zhao Xuanqing certainly won't add Qi to him. He may even take care of military pay and logistics to control Wei Ran.

Therefore, the establishment of the first army may be just a carrot hanging in front of the Rumo donkey, which can be seen but not necessarily eaten. Even if so many people are recruited, they must be able to afford it.

This is also Wei Ran's determination to take an economically independent road, so as not to be controlled by others.

Now he plans to expand his troops to 4000, which is almost the limit of all his savings.

At present, he is the earth emperor in kuozhou city and can use all the resources in the city privately. First use this resource to build up the army. When the ice melts and Zhao Xuanqing wins, all resources will be transferred to Zhao Xuanqing.

At that time, with Wei Ran's current savings, he could only feed 4000 troops and horses for a month. After all, war horses were the main consumption.

However, only four thousand soldiers and horses are not too much expansion. Presumably Zhao Xuanqing is willing to pay to help Wei Yanxian raise them.

However, in order to prevent accidents or Zhao Xuanqing's repentance, Wei Ran still plans to cheat the other two cities. If there are looted materials in them, Wei Ran will be angry.

Kuozhou has a large population, many of which fled from outside the city during the Tubo invasion.

These border people are of high quality. Because of the martial customs of the Tang Dynasty, the state does not prohibit the people from holding weapons. This rule is more relaxed for the border people. The mainland also prohibits the use of bows and arrows, but in the border areas, even the strong bow of four stones will not be banned.

Because the border people often face the plundering and invasion of Tubo, Dangxiang and Qiang people, they are good at riding and archery.

Now the recruits recruited by Wei Ran are basically of this quality. In addition to lack of organization, they are the seeds of excellent soldiers.

Unfortunately, Wei Ran only recruited 3000 people, otherwise it would be enough to expand the army to 10000.

After all, kuozhou people have a feud against Tubo, and Wei Ran is obviously a very capable and resourceful general. After entering the city, a series of disposal still received the support of the majority of the people, so the people who signed up for the army were naturally very enthusiastic.

In this way, Wei Ran can also choose the best among the best, giving priority to those border people who have experience as soldiers or military training in the slack period.

The soldiers are recruited, then the veterans organize formation training, and then select 1000 people who are proficient in riding, shooting and horse warfare from their new army to form cavalry.

His army is basically composed of soldiers from the border people, and few people can't ride a horse. However, there are still few people who are proficient in riding, shooting and all kinds of horse fighting skills. Wei Ran was surprised that a thousand could be selected.

Of course, he has so many war horses that it's a waste to put them away. So the other 3000 soldiers and horses are equipped with war horses. Even if they don't have complex skills of riding, shooting and sprinting with guns, most people in the army still understand the simple horse fighting technology of controlling the reins with one hand and wielding a knife with the other.

This is the advantage of border people joining the army. In terms of technology and tactics, they are naturally stronger than mainland farmers joining the army, and the training cost is relatively low. Although the 3000 soldiers and horses are not good at horse warfare, there is no problem for them to chase the defeated soldiers on war horses. They are used as riding infantry at other times, and then gradually select cavalry seeds from them to slowly expand the cavalry establishment.

In the current army, the number of recruits far exceeds that of veterans. Wei Ran can only take veterans as the backbone, fill the new barracks and gradually integrate the whole military structure.

After that, he planned to train the troops by himself after defrauding Dahua County and Jishi army, so as to completely reorganize the team, and at least have basic combat capability before the beginning of spring.

Wei Ran even planned that in the future, if it is expected that there will be a few months of repair time between each battle, it will continue to disrupt the establishment and re integrate.

In this way, we can completely put an end to the emergence of hilltops in the army, although every time we re integrate, it will inevitably lead to a decline in combat effectiveness. However, if the military training is conducted according to the fixed code, the weak time will be greatly reduced. On the whole, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

……

At this time, Zhuo Lancang has come to Hezhou City.

In Hezhou City, Zhao Xuanqing is not idle all day. He is actively recruiting and training soldiers to prepare for the battle after the snow turns in the spring.

When she saw Zhuo Lancang's visit with a smile on her face, she thought that it had been ten days since Wei Ran set out from Yanquan city. Her general reaction was the two trusted generals beside her, but their thoughts were obviously opposite to Zhao Xuanqing.

"Headmaster Zhuo, what's the situation at the dare to die camp?"

Zhuo Lancang did not sell off, but told Wei Ran's siege in great detail, and then explained the march in detail.

It's like reporting good news first and then difficulties. It's typical to boast in front of Zhao Xuanqing.

Zhao Xuanqing began to hear the news that he had successfully won kuozhou city. He was so excited that he slapped his fist. He couldn't help but want to scream. At least he endured it.

The two confidants next to her were shocked to take the lead, looked at each other, flashed jealousy at the same time, and finally accompanied with a congratulatory smile, as if they were happy with the Lord's general.

Zhuo Lancang saw it in his eyes and didn't say much, but he kept their reactions in mind.

Then Zhao Xuanqing knew that the non combat attrition was so serious when he knew that Wei Ran dared to die camp was marching through. However, compared with Li Jing in history, such losses are not large. After all, the preparation was quite sufficient, and the enemy was not as tenacious as expected.

When she was thinking, she suddenly said to her subordinates on both sides: "you are not as good as a group leader!"
