In the end, Lijun Qingqi did not enter Yicheng. That night, there were also 20,000 Shanshan troops camped outside the city.
On the contrary, the 50,000 Lijun army that had been camped outside the city all poured into Yicheng. Under the overall control of Zhao Wuji, Han Feng, Chen Shaoxiong and other four generals quickly overwhelmed the original 30,000 troops in Yicheng. The garrison has been completely divided, and the mixed addition of such a proportion will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of each team to varying degrees in a short period of time.
However, the surge in the number of soldiers will be a huge boost that cannot be ignored for a future war going south. Especially the new soldiers are not refugees who have never received training. This negative impact can be controlled at a low level. degree.
But running-in is still a challenge and test that the five people must face now.
Among the five, Han Feng's method was the simplest and crudest. He completely dispersed the newly added 6,000 soldiers and integrated them into the original organization. Every one of them who could control ten people could be used. The sixteen people in command, who originally served as officers in the Yicheng garrison, will all be incorporated into the new army and temporarily serve as deputies to officers of the same rank in the Gan Yuan army. When vacancies become available after the war, and these deputies perform well, they can Become a regular employee, or even be promoted.
The advantages and disadvantages of this are obvious. The advantage is that the officer system has not changed, and the transmission of military orders will be unified and smooth. The disadvantage is that in a short period of time, the execution and combat effectiveness of the entire army will be compromised. Will it be possible in the future? Within the time limit, completing the integration of the team's tactics as soon as possible is a huge problem that Han Feng will face.
The other four generals did not choose this approach. They unanimously retained the 6,000 elite Lijun troops, and only used 4,000 elite troops to mix with the 6,000 Yicheng garrison. They also used the original Lijun army. The officers or newly promoted officers were appointed as principals, and the officers of Yicheng garrison were appointed as deputy, promising an equal future.
The advantages and disadvantages of this are equally obvious. The advantage is that the combat effectiveness of the main force of the army is not damaged at all. If it encounters a tough battle or encounter when going south, the army still has the power to fight to the death. The disadvantage is that the proportion of Yongchang Army in the mixed new army is too high. Gao, it takes a lot of time to build full trust and get along between Lijun officers and Yicheng garrison officers, as well as between officers and soldiers.
Zhao Wuji, as the deputy commander of the army, or the de facto commander of the army for this expedition, did not make any specific requirements for the implementation of these matters. He instructed all armies to reorganize evenly, and after setting the defense and rotation tasks of Yicheng, he went to Yongchang. The Military Affairs Office is busy collecting and organizing maps and various military information.
Luochuan, on the other hand, came to the Summer Palace with Meng Jiaoyang, more than a hundred Wangchuan sword cultivators and five hundred Lijun Qingqi.
Waiting in front of the Summer Palace are no longer the palace attendants and palace guards who originally belonged here, but Luo Changgong's hundreds of light cavalry and a lonely bright moon.
Luo Chuan rode on horseback and crossed the wide stone bridge with carved patterns on the moat. By the light of the light rider, he looked up to see the huge words "Xia Gong" on the gate tower of the palace. It was obvious that it was related to Xingcheng. The inscription on the summer palace was written by the same person.
At this time, everyone had arrived in front of Luo Changgong and others, and hundreds of people on horseback saluted in unison.
"Boom."
Luo Chuan glanced at the hundreds of Qingqi, and suddenly raised his right fist and hit it on the left chest with a thud. He actually returned a military salute. He lightly pinched the horse's belly, maintaining the posture of saluting, and rode past the hundreds of people, solemnly And solemn.
Not a word was said.
Hundreds of Qingqi held their chests high like statues. Only Mingyue pulled the reins of the horses under her crotch, silently blended into the team, and followed Shadow.
Entering the Summer Palace, Luo Chuan looked up and saw that under the moonlight, it was empty and seemed a bit desolate. He turned his head and asked Meng Jiaoyang, who was always half a horse behind him, "Mr. Meng, logically speaking, you should be here." The ancestral home of the Meng family, but after you leave this time, you will have to travel across mountains and rivers if you want to come back. It is not easy to come back, so let’s take a look at it one last time."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jiaoyang immediately said with a smile, "I don't know, Lord Taishou, that I don't actually have very deep feelings for Xia Palace or even Yicheng. On the contrary, because of...the sinner, I still have a few..." There was a lot of conflict, and it was still somewhat difficult to leave the homeland, but now that I have made the decision to move my family to Ganyuan, I feel much more relaxed, thinking about it.
When a family is together, no matter where it is, it should be better than here. "
Luochuan nodded and rode into the Summer Palace, letting two hundred light cavalry fly past them, and took the lead in setting up defenses at the Summer Palace Pass, "Mr. Meng may not have been to Ganyuan, but he should also I have heard that it is the heartland of my Li County and the core connecting the north, south and east. The climate is pleasant and the weather is smooth, so the Meng family will get used to it."
Meng Jiaoyang nodded repeatedly, "Your Excellency, what you say is very true! What you say is very true!"
Luo Chuan asked again, "Mr. Meng, among the people who followed you out of the city earlier, there was a man in slovenly clothes. Who is it?"
Meng Jiaoyang immediately replied, "I dare not deceive the Lord Prefect. His name is Meng Yilan, and he is the only master among the ignorant who has reached the third level."
"The only one? But he's not the only one, right," Luo Chuan turned around and said to Meng Jiaoyang, who was waving his hands in shock, "Does the ignorant name the people among them according to their strength?"
Meng Jiaoyang nodded, then shook his head, "It is true that ignorance is named after numbers, but now it is not ranked based on personal strength, but status."
"I see," Luo Chuan looked forward. In the square in front of the Summer Palace, there were dozens of inconspicuous black figures standing scattered. These black figures were dressed in black and were not like ANBU. It's close-fitting, but it's obviously made of elastic fabric. It's not smooth or reflective, so when they stand in the night and do nothing, it's as if they don't exist. "For example, the third one, Just a useless scholar?"
"Nothing can be hidden from the Lord Prefect," Meng Jiaoyang complimented with a naive smile.
Luo Chuan and others had already arrived in front of the dozens of seemingly scattered black figures. He pulled the reins and stopped there, his eyes fixed on the slovenly one at the head of the group of black figures, who still had a tie on his forehead. The middle-aged man wearing a white ribbon asked, "So there are only so many people in a notoriously ignorant army?"
Meng Jiaoyang glanced at the people around her and hesitated to speak.
Qianxue waved her hand and placed a soundproof circle around Luochuan, trapping several people including her and Shadow, as well as Siqi and Meng Jiaoyang, "Don't worry."
"Yes, yes, yes," Meng Jiaoyang quickly glanced at Qianxue, then glanced at Luo Chuan, who had a normal expression, and said quickly, "Mengmai is a well-organized organization, and it is qualified to meet... Luo Chuan The only people in front of the prefect are the people in front of them. They have their faces covered. Except for the top five members, no one else knows each other. This is also one of the important reasons why ignorance can be stable for a long time. With a gathering like today, only It will only appear when the power of the successive Meng clan chiefs changes."
Luo Chuan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Master Meng got the throne before. I heard that it was with the help of the scholar and Yi Bai, so the killer Yi Bai is also an ignorant person?"
Meng Jiaoyang hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the slovenly middle-aged man and said, "It used to be..."
