Lian Angxiong was silent. Compared to others, he was still very afraid of the influence of powerful families.
Although he was also born into a noble family, there were also ranks in the family.
In the key positions of his previous army, there were many members of the royal family, and there were even some important positions held by members of the king's clan. They could be beaten and scolded, but you had to be prepared to wear small shoes.
"I can't make a decision yet, I'm a little worried!"
Ge Xiuming put his medicine box on his back and stood up.
"In our place, for all generals above the rank of general, our Xuanhu Academy will conduct an annual physical examination, which can help military generals and officials check for hidden diseases. This is personally ordered by Lord Wu An."
"Because of the respect for the general's status, your family's diagnosis and treatment will be handled by Lao Cheng. Of course, with your family's archive, it may not be me who comes here in the future."
"If the general has doubts, why don't you wander around the military camp for a while? After all, I heard that Mr. Wu An lets everyone know everything about you. Such treatment can only be given to your confidants. treatment.”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
In Yuntong County, doctors and craftsmen are both skilled talents, which is one of the reasons why Yang Qian has been raising their social status.
Of course, ordinary craftsmen and doctors are just average, but once you have good skills and enter the military system, your salary will be doubled several times, and you will live a very comfortable life.
Lian Angxiong chewed Ge Xiuming's words carefully and was able to impress a person whom King Shangguo had not recruited. This shows how powerful Lord Wu An is.
"Fu'er, you guys have a good rest, I'll go for a walk outside!"
Lian Angxiong dropped a word and walked outside.
Lian Fu shrugged, his father had such a fiery personality, sometimes even his own son didn't know what he was going to do.
When Lian Angxiong came outside, he saw two soldiers guarding the door for him.
"What troops are there in Yuntong County? How many people are there?"
Ge Xiuming just said that he can have all the information he wants. Now where can he test it and see if it works? The most important thing is that after coming here, his eyes went dark and he was confused.
You have to get some information first.
The two soldiers looked at each other and laughed. The Lord was indeed right. The General couldn't help it anymore.
One of the soldiers said, "We are just auxiliary soldiers. General, please wait a moment. I will ask the captain to come over and talk to you."
"good!"
After a while, a young captain with a mustache came over and bowed his hand to Lian Angxiong.
"I will see the general at the end."
"How dare you, a captain, be called a junior general?" Lian Angxiong's face straightened and he looked very dissatisfied.
Sima Xin smiled and said lightly.
"That's natural. Your Majesty once said that my position is now captain, because I have no military merits yet. As long as I have military merits, I will be a general. Naturally, I will be a general. There is no difference between what I am called now and what I will be called in the future. Of course, I He is also very keen on the position of general."
"Hahaha, arrogant!"
Lian Angxiong was very generous and did not blame him at all. Such young people are rare nowadays.
In Shangguo's military system, although there are very few people who are capable of fighting, there are too few spiritual people. This person looks like a captain, but his temperament and conversation are not what a captain can possess at all.
"I want to know how many troops there are in Yuntong County?"
Sima Xin said calmly, "General, if you ask the population, you will fail me, but I know the army."
"The total number of troops under Yuntong's jurisdiction is 400,000, and this does not include the county soldiers and the inspectors of the slave priests!"
"Hi~~~~!"
Lian Angxiong couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his whole body was furious. You must know that Shangguo's national military strength is only five to six million, how come there are 400,000 soldiers in Yuntong County alone? This, this, I want to complain, adulterated The water is so powerful.
Gradually his eyes became contemptuous.
"I thought Mr. Wu An was so powerful, but I didn't expect that he is also a person who seeks fame and reputation."
"Four hundred thousand? How big is the population of the Xia Kingdom? If there are four hundred thousand soldiers, then everyone will be hungry."
Sima Xin had just joined and had his own independent thoughts, but when Lian Angxiong said that Wu Anjun was not good, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"The army of four hundred thousand is definitely a real number, and there is no imaginary number. Although there are certain auxiliary troops in some armies, they are all combatable soldiers."
"Then tell me, where are the 400,000 people? I only saw a few thousand people here today, but that's 400,000 people? How much food do you need to eat in a day!"
Lian Angxiong himself had led troops. Not to mention 400,000 soldiers, just 100,000 soldiers were stationed there, and the daily supply of food and grass was huge.
It is not easy for a vassal state to maintain elite troops. Many auxiliary soldiers and ordinary soldiers go to farm. How can any vassal state prepare hundreds of thousands of troops and not farm every day? Go crazy.
Sima Xin immediately retorted.
"General, just because other vassal states can't do it, it doesn't mean that we in Yuntong County can't do it. When you first came here, you also saw the food production and some strange machinery."
"That's right!"
"Then I can tell you responsibly that we not only have an army of 400,000, but also more than 1.2 million slaves!"
"What!!!"
Lian Angxiong looked like he had seen a ghost.
"This, are you asking them to farm? No, no, where do you people come from?"
"The three grassland tribes and the Goguryeo captives were annihilated! And instead of letting them farm, Yuntong County is building a grand canal of more than 3,000 miles. All 1.2 million people are focused on building the canal. As long as the canal is connected, then The entire Xia Kingdom can be transported by water from west to east."
"Whether it's taxation, commerce, transporting troops, or transporting food, it can be accelerated dozens of times."
Lian Angxiong's eyes were dull and he was numb. 1.2 million plus 400,000 were all part-time jobs. How could he make a living on this?
And there is a Grand Canal that is more than three thousand miles long. What is the concept of three thousand miles? Crazy, generally speaking, building a canal of hundreds of miles is considered a big project.
A canal of more than 300 miles would have required the entire vassal state to devote all its efforts and spend several or even ten years to build it.
It's incredible.
But he is a military commander after all, and he has little interest in farming. He is more interested in understanding the military.
"How is the army distributed? Are 400,000 ordinary soldiers?"
Sima Xin shook his head and explained.
"I have 150,000 Yanggu troops in Yuntong County."
"One hundred thousand soldiers were defeated."
"Twenty thousand wind-controlling troops."
"The Liaodong Army is one hundred thousand strong."
"The most powerful one is the Xuanjia Army, with a total of 30,000 people."
Lian Angxiong's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.
"What's the difference?"
Sima Xin had already learned the knowledge points he should learn, and he knew almost everything about army numbers, equipment, and functions.
"The Yanggu Army has the worst combat effectiveness, that is, the soldiers in the ordinary military formation."
"The Polu Army is relatively strong and is good at dealing with nomads. It has its own unique insights into sneak attacks and running attacks. It is also one of the main contributors to the annihilation of the three tribes."
"The Wind Control Army is a cavalry and archery army. It has 2 to 3 horses and wears soft armor and wallets. They come and go like the wind. They specialize in long-distance cavalry and archery at the enemy."
As for Liaodong County, it is mixed with the Yanggu Army and the Polu Army. Most of them are Fuyu from Goguryeo and Zhongyuan people from the Goguryeo area. The combat effectiveness of these people is average, but they come from the bitter cold land. Man, very capable of fighting.
As soon as the introduction was given, Lian Angxiong listened with rapt attention. When the voice suddenly stopped, Lian Angxiong lost his temper.
"How powerful is the Wind Control Army?"
"In terms of riding and shooting, they are not inferior to the Huns."
"Tsk, dear, are you so good at riding and shooting?"
Suddenly he thought of another thing: "What is the function of the Xuanjia Army?"
"The Xuanjia Army is the army directly under the jurisdiction of the Lord. Although there are only 30,000 people, each of them is a good fighter who can fight more than a dozen. The first point to enter the Xuanjia Army is to be over eight feet tall."
"Ability to ride and shoot, to fight on foot, and most importantly, to attack with heavy cavalry, which can not only overwhelm the military formation, but also split it apart, killing with one blow and destroying the military formation.
Lian Angxiong's blood boiled with excitement after hearing Sima Xin's introduction. When he looked at Sima Xin, he smiled.
"All the armies have been introduced, so tell me, what kind of army is this? When I came in today, I counted about five thousand people, and each of them was physically strong. They used huge stone chains when fighting. Ordinary soldiers Maybe he can’t even lift such a heavy stone lock.”
Sima Xin nodded and shook his head.
"Although your Majesty has an order, the General can know anything he wants, but this is our Yuntong County's trump card. It's best if we don't know it!"
"No, I want to know that you are so dishonest. You have said everything but not the whole thing. How can I fall asleep today?"
"This is the military camp of the New Army. Not counting auxiliaries and the like, the total number of 5,000 people is selected from the 400,000-strong army."
Lian Angxiong was completely shocked. It was crazy to select 5,000 people out of 400,000 people. Then who did these people have to be?
"Does this army have a designation? What is its specific role?"
"New army number: Tiger Ben. As for its function, Your Majesty didn't say, and we don't know either."
Sima Xin tightened his mouth slightly. To be honest, for a fifty-year-old famous general, he really didn't want to see him die.
No one knew what Lord Wu An was thinking, but he could already vaguely guess what Lord Wu An was thinking and what his plan was?
Although he may not be successful, in Sima Xin's eyes, he can still guess this.
People in high positions know how many secrets mean how many dangers.
If the secret of the entire Yuntong County was known to an ordinary Guizhou leader, it would not be a big problem. Why?
It's very simple. No one will take what a Guizhou leader said as a matter of fact, and he himself has no power to change the world.
But as the general of Shangguo, if he knew the confidential information of the entire Yuntong County.
The more he knew, the faster he would die. Although Wu Anjun said that he would not do anything to him, such words would only deceive children and the authorities.
