Chapter 877
"Xiliang, Guanzhong, Central Plains, Huainan, Hebei, Qidi, Youzhou, Monan, Mobei, Liaodong."
Chu Tian counted the territory he occupied, and it can be roughly divided into ten regions. He can set up ten army masters and take charge of ten routes of troops.
The reason why Liaodong is also included in the establishment is because Chutian has already regarded Liaodong as something in his pocket.
When Chutian reorganized his army, Xu Fengnian came to see Chutian from Longxi.
Chu Tian asked Xu Fengnian to come out of the mountains and seize Xiliang.
Xu Fengnian was originally the great lord of Liangzhou. He knew the heroes of Liangzhou, and at the same time he knew the leaders of the local Qiang tribe, so it was easier to capture Liangzhou.
Xu Fengnian also lived up to Chutian's expectations, and without Chutian himself, Liangzhou had already been incorporated into Chutian's territory.
"The Qiang and Di people betrayed Xie Ai, the governor of Xiliang appointed by the old Qin. Jincheng County in Liangzhou was occupied by the Qiang people, while Wudu County was occupied by the Di people. Therefore, Liangzhou cannot be said to have been completely occupied. These two The county is full of deep mountains and old forests, and the folk customs are aggressive, so it is not easy to subdue. In the past, when I was in charge of Longxi, I only made it submit superficially, just like Liu Bei conquered the southern barbarians."
When Xu Fengnian saw Chutian, he was not complacent about taking credit for Liangzhou, because the most troublesome Qiang and Di tribes in Liangzhou had not yet been pacified.
"Qiang people and Di people, once someone takes the lead in rebellion, it is really difficult to put down. Do you have a good idea?"
Chutian asked Xu Fengnian to give him a seat.
Xu Fengnian replied: "There is no other way than to conquer by force and kill the general. Maybe a group of generals who are good at fighting in the mountains, or generals who have the characteristics of reducing the adverse effects of terrain, or increase the damage to foreign races and create fear The generals with the best effect can lead a small number of elite soldiers and horses to carry out conquests, which can reduce the cost to the greatest extent."
"Warning in the mountains, Mu Ke has Wudang Feijun, rattan armor soldiers, and white pole soldiers. On my side, Ma Yuan, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, is suitable for quelling the Qiang rebellion. As for the Diren rebel army, I have I have received accurate information that they have entered Hanzhong and caused chaos. When I clean up Liaodong and crusade against Hanzhong, I will destroy them in one fell swoop."
Chu Tian thought of General Fubo Ma Yuan, Ma Yuan is undoubtedly a suitable candidate for the crusade against the Qiang Kingdom.
Xu Fengnian thought about it for a while: "Ma Yuan...it would be great if he went to suppress the Qiang rebellion in Huangzhong, Jincheng County. It would be the best if there is another high-level unit that is good at fighting in the mountains."
"I'll borrow a high-ranking unit from Mu Ke." Chu Tian planned to borrow troops from Mu Ke unceremoniously.
"I want to set up the Xiliang Army, how about you as the chief general?"
Chu Tian believed that there was no better candidate than Xu Fengnian to serve as the chief general of the Xiliang Army.
Ma Chao is the number one general in Xiliang, but he has more courage than strategy.
Xie Ai is resourceful, but his contribution to Chutian forces is not enough, and Ma Teng, Han Sui and others disdain him.
After Xu Fengnian regained Liangzhou, he had the opportunity to become king on his own, but Xu Fengnian gave up the opportunity to become king on his own and proved his loyalty to Chu Tian.
Xu Fengnian was Chutian's trade partner a long time ago. He sold many war horses to Chutian. Later, he developed into an ally and is still active until now.
And Xu Fengnian has a group of generals as his team.
Therefore, Xu Fengnian is undoubtedly the right candidate for the leader of the Xiliang Army.
Xu Fengnian seemed to be somewhat dispirited: "After this battle, my original intention was to live in seclusion in Xiacheng from now on, and not fight any more..."
Chu Tian deliberately provoked: "Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi killed Wang Yanzhang, how can we not avenge it? The Xiliang Army is the closest to the Western Region Protectorate. In the future, when fighting the Western Regions, the Xiliang Army will be used first."
"So..."
Xu Fengnian was somewhat moved by what Chu Tian said.
In Chutian's newly established legion system, the military leader is above the legion commander, which is equivalent to the sole commander.
Xu Fengnian may be the only player who serves as the leader of the army.
"The Xiliang Army, with Xie Ai as the military advisor, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu and others as the generals, is still under consideration..."
Chu Tian still needs to meet Xie Ai, Xu Huang, Pang De and others to understand their abilities before he can truly organize the Xiliang Army.
Xu Huang is one of the five good generals, and Chu Tian doesn't plan to put him in the Xiliang Army.
The five good generals, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He, naturally wanted to get together.
Li Si went to You Fufeng to recruit Xie Ai, and after Xie Ai, Pang De, and Xu Huang appeased You Fufeng's Qin army, they came to meet Chutian again.
"Xie Ai is a wise general, Pound is a fierce general, and Xu Huang is a brave general."
Xu Fengnian was still fighting with them not long ago, so he had a high opinion of the three of them.
Xie Ai, Pound, and Xu Huang just represent three different types of generals.
"According to what Huo An said, Wo Kuotai personally conquered South Asia and joined Timur in Delhi City. Although Wo Kuotai changed the style of the Mongol Empire, did not become an enemy of the Western Regions Protectorate, and was committed to external expansion, but the Western Regions The pressure on the guard is even greater."
After Chu Tian pacified Guanzhong and Xiliang, he relaxed a little and became interested in his future formidable enemy, Wo Kuotai.
Xu Fengnian was thoughtful: "Wokuotai, this is an old opponent. At the beginning, Huo An attacked the Wokuotai Khanate by surprise, which led to the first destruction of the Wokuotai Khanate. And Wokuotai has not only not declined yet, Instead, they revived and restored the Mongol Empire, no wonder Temujin chose Ogedei as his successor."
"The influence of the Golden Family still exists. Unlike the Western lords, the Eastern lords have a crazy obsession with territory."
After Chutian annexed Guanzhong and Xiliang, it actually bordered on Wokuotai's territory.
Huo An's Protectorate of the Western Regions, if Chutian wants to annex it, he only needs to say hello to Huo An, and then spend two or three years to completely digest it.
To the west of the Protectorate of the Western Regions is Okuotai's Turkic-Mongol Empire, and to the east is Liangzhou, so Chutian's sphere of influence has already bordered on Okuotai's empire.
Chutian's prestige extends to Jeju Island in Korea in the east, Dawan in Central Asia in the west, Lake Baikal in the north, and the Yangtze River Basin in the south. He is the largest lord in the territory.
The larger the territory, the more enemies bordering on it.
"Wo Kuotai did not intervene in the civil war of the Han Empire, which is unexpected to me."
"Tiemuzhen's battle between the Mongol Empire and the Han Empire, Ogedei must have had a psychological shadow, and he will not fight us again until he thinks that he has accumulated a large enough army."
"My lord, Tongguan has fallen, and the Khitan army has won 20,000."
"The Tongguan guard's Wanyan silver technique has been surrendered!"
When Chu Tian and Xu Fengnian were discussing the potential threat of Wo Kuotai, the battle report of Xiao Chuo's capture of 20,000 people came from the direction of Tongguan.
Then came the news that Li Ji, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Yinshu could surrender.
Wanyan Zonghan, an unlucky general, was killed by Chutian once in the "Battle of Jingkang". After the dungeon was over, he was recruited by Lao Qin and fell into Chutian's hands again.
Wanyan Yinshu can be used as Wanyan Zonghan's lieutenant general, and the two can be paired together to form an elite army.
"Xiao Chuo is really ruthless. He won 20,000 people in a random fight, and his opponents are Li Ji and Wanyan Zonghan..."
Chu Tian was somewhat shocked.
Xiao Chuo can subdue the local wild wolves for reconnaissance, and paired with Hua Mulan's war eagle, he has the most powerful reconnaissance ability so far.
The vision of a legion is extremely important to a legion.
Without vision, even Wu Qi and Wang Jian would not dare to rush forward, because no one knows whether the main force of the opponent is gathering in front of them.
"My lord, generals Xie Ai, Xu Huang, and Pang De came from Youfufeng to ask for an audience!"
"Let's go see Xie Ai, Li Ji and others."
After Chu Tian intentionally appointed Xu Fengnian as the leader of the Xiliang Army, in order to close the relationship between the two, they went together to meet the surrendered general of the Qin Army who surrendered.
...
South Asia, the city of Delhi, the second Mongolian Great Khan, Okudei, led a personal expedition. The newly appointed King Timur of Delhi led the dignitaries of Delhi to meet Okudei, a member of the golden family and the conqueror of the Central Asian world.
Wo Kuotai was not very satisfied with the progress of Timur's attack on the Mughal Empire in India, and planned to take action himself.
"Great Khan, the Han Empire fought in the north, King Qin died of illness, and King Xia devoured all his powers. He has annexed Guanzhong and Xiliang, and opened up the passage between the Central Plains and the Western Regions."
"Chu Zimou took Guanzhong and Xiliang so easily, it was really cheap for him. Maybe not getting involved in the northern war of the Han Empire doesn't seem like a good thing."
Wo Kuotai is in Derry City, with a status above ten thousand people, but he is paying attention to every move of the Han Empire.
Compared with the Mughal Empire in India, the Han Empire is the most powerful opponent.
Chutian repeatedly made Temujin suffer, and was also regarded as a strong enemy by Okuotai.
"Great Khan, Brahmin, the first lord of the Mughal Empire in India, has allied forces with many princes and princes, claiming an army of three million, and is marching towards the city of Delhi!"
"The population here is really huge, almost the same as that of the Han Empire. It is often called a million-strong army. However, they lack outstanding generals."
Wo Kuotai was not afraid of the three million coalition forces claimed by the Indian princes.
Three million troops, how much water.
"Gather our troops and defeat these princes... It seems that we need to slaughter a few cities to scare the Indian Mughals..."
One thought of Wo Kuotai can determine the life and death of millions of local people.
The population of the Mughal Empire in India was almost the same as that of the Han Empire. Facing the war of annihilation launched by Wo Kuotai and Timur, the local princes and princes exploded wildly.
The first lord, Brahmin, united with other princes and princes, assembled more than one million soldiers and horses, claiming to be three million, and tried to recapture the capital city of Delhi.
The army of the Mughal Empire in India was mighty and boundless. Thousands of huge war elephants were thrown into the battle. Countless poor people of low castes were transferred to low-level arms, while high-level castes such as Brahmins and Kshatriyas, Transfer to a high-level unit, or serve as a general.
This is also one of the characteristics of the Mughal civilization area in India.
Here, civilians from lower castes are not even qualified to become high-ranking soldiers. They can only become low-ranking soldiers and serve as cannon fodder during the war.
People of high-level castes can become the source of soldiers for high-level arms, and it is easier to give birth to civil servants and generals.
