The Onezawa bandits have been struggling for years, training hard, sharpening their troops, and vowing to fight to the death with the enemies of the imperial court!
Unfortunately, the imperial court failed to seize the opportunity of the Onozawa bandits' new defeat, and delayed preparations for sending troops until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Another month passed before the preparations were completed.
The privy envoy Tong Guan was granted the title of Grand Marshal of the Army, leading 20,000 imperial troops as the central army. Under his jurisdiction were eight routes of troops and horses, each with 10,000 troops and horses, a total of 100,000 troops, vowing to flatten Onoze!
The leaders of the Eighth Route Army are: Duan Pengju, Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses in Suizhou; Chen Zhu, Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses in Zhengzhou; Wu Bingyi, Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses in Chenzhou; Han Tianlin, Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses in Tangzhou; Li Ming, Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses in Xuzhou; Wang, Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses in Dengzhou Yi; the soldiers and horses of Zhenzhou supervised Ma Wanli; the soldiers and horses of Songzhou supervised Zhou Xin.
A hundred thousand troops, as powerful as a rainbow, rushed straight towards Ohnozawa.
Onozawa's bandits were not vegetarians. They had already arranged spies in the capital. Shortly after the imperial troops were dispatched, Onozawa received the news.
Song Gongming, the leader of the Onezawa bandits, almost cried after receiving the news.
What a bully! Why did these bastards from the imperial court come to us, Ohnozawa, instead of attacking Dongping Mansion?
The leader of the Song Dynasty wanted to explain clearly to the court that the bandits entrenched in Dongping Mansion were really not them.
It's a pity that Privy Council Tong didn't even urinate in the pot of Onezawa bandits. The envoy sent by Song Gongming had his head chopped off without even seeing Tong Guan's face.
In desperation, the leader of the Song Dynasty had to summon the generals to discuss how to resist the imperial army...
…
Of course Yun Chao knew about the affairs of the imperial court and the Onezawa bandits.
Whether it was Daye Ze or Bianliang City, there were scouts sent by Yun Chao.
When I learned that the imperial army really did not come to Dongping Mansion, but to Ohnozawa, I almost died laughing.
There are experts in the court!
This move is so powerful. Aren’t you Ohnozawa bandits entrenched in Dongping Mansion and unable to leave? They will directly raid your old nest to see if you can come back?
Once their nest is destroyed, the bandits entrenched in Dongping Mansion will become trees without roots, water without sources, and grasshoppers after autumn, unable to survive for a few days.
The imperial army is not stupid, and Tong Guan is even more cunning. The Onezawa bandits and Yun Chao can send scouts, and Privy Tong will naturally do the same.
However, Yun Chao had been prepared for it. Whether it was the imperial spies or Ohnozawa's spies, every time they entered Dongping Mansion, they would soon disappear without a trace.
Yun Chao dared to pat the young woman's chest and promise that in the Great Wu Dynasty, no force had greater control over the territory under its jurisdiction than he did.
Mobilizing the masses, the entire people of Dongping Prefecture started to move.
As long as a foreigner enters the territory of Dongping Mansion, he will soon be targeted by the common people.
Every time you pass through a town or every village, someone will check and interrogate you. If you feel something is wrong, you will be immediately arrested and interrogated.
These days, the population is not very mobile. If a stranger passes by, someone will quickly notice it.
Almost all the spies sent by the imperial court and Ohnozawa to Dongping Mansion were like mud cows drowning in the sea, and they could not go back once they arrived!
Until now, Dongping Mansion is still a deep mystery to the court and the bandits of Onezawa, and it is really hard to figure out the details!
Of course, the court was not ignorant.
Despite being "surrounded" by Onozawa's bandits, Qingyang County was still able to send out intelligence from time to time.
It was with reports from Qingyang County that the court made the decision to attack the bandit's lair in Onezawa.
The report said that there were at least 50,000 Ohnozawa bandits in Dongping Prefecture. They were extremely mobile and gathered and dispersed, making it difficult to completely eradicate them.
The big boss of the court is a thief. Since Onezawa's bandits are all in Dongping Mansion, what are you waiting for? Go steal his home!
"Shitou, order all the troops to set off in five days and head to Onezawa. Let's go sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
"yes!"
Wang Shitou was so excited.
A year ago, he was a poor boy who didn't even have enough to eat.
How long has it passed before I was able to lead an army and participate in such a big war? Who can I ask to reason!
Yun Chao's army now has expanded to 20,000.
According to the military system of the Dawu Dynasty, one army consisted of 2,500 people, and 20,000 people equaled eight armies.
However, Yun Chao did not fully adopt the military system of the Dawu Dynasty. He called the five battalions a regiment, and the commander was called the regiment commander.
A regiment consists of 2,500 people, which is equivalent to an army of the Great Wu Dynasty.
Four regiments form a division, and the commander is called a division commander, totaling 10,000 people.
Further up, Yunchao will not prepare a permanent military organization.
The division-level unit is the largest organization of Yunchao's army.
If more troops are needed to act together, Yun Chao will group several divisions together to form a group army.
The army group is a temporary establishment and will be disbanded after the war is over.
This can prevent individual officers from becoming too powerful and unable to lose their power.
The Dawu Dynasty's strategy of using culture to control military affairs and suppressing military generals was not without merit.
At the very least, it avoids the chaotic situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms where military generals rebelled whenever they said they wanted.
Once a person holds military power, ambition will grow unknowingly. Even if the commander does not want to rebel, his subordinates will push him to the top.
From now on, Yun Chao will try his best to avoid this happening.
However, when the power was first established, Yun Chao could not use the Dawu Dynasty's method of using civility to control military affairs, which would have a great impact on combat effectiveness.
In order to make generals capable of fighting and to prevent them from having different intentions, a relatively reasonable system is indispensable.
Yun Chao learned from the practices of some later countries and strictly controlled the number of troops in each army.
No matter how great a military commander is, he only has 10,000 soldiers and horses. Even if he rebels, 10,000 people will not be able to achieve success.
The Yun family army now has 20,000 people, divided into two divisions.
The commander of the first division is Wang Shitou, and the commander of the second division is Li Xing.
Yes, Li Xing came from behind, and his military command ability has surpassed Jia Mancang's, becoming one of Yun Chao's two senior commanders.
Of course, this does not mean that the two division commanders are the highest.
Yunchao adopts the method of mutual supervision and mutual restraint.
The commander of the first division is Wang Shitou, the political commissar is... ahem, and the instructor is Jia Mancang.
In terms of military affairs, listen to Wang Shitou.
In terms of political ideology, even Wang Shitou wanted to listen to Jia Mancang.
The two people are at the same level and supervise each other to prevent one person from becoming too big.
The chief inspector of the Yun Family Army is Luo Zhiyuan, who has the same rank as a division commander or training officer. He is responsible for supervising all officers and soldiers and enforcing military law.
In addition, there are a series of military agencies such as the Logistics Department, Equipment Department, Political Department, and Staff Department.
In order to build a relatively complete army, Yun Chao tried his best and racked his brains to recall the composition of the army in his previous life, almost embarrassing himself to death.
Even so, Yun Chao still felt that he was neither fish nor fowl, and there was always a feeling of dissimilarity.
It's a pity that the ability is so great now and can only be continuously improved in the war in the future!
