Chapter 879 Establishment of Xiliang Army
When Mingguan was in trouble, Chutian was reorganizing the various legions.
The first legion to be established is the Xiliang Army.
The Xiliang Army has two fates. First, support the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The Protectorate of the Western Regions is under enormous pressure, and a new overlord has been born in Central Asia, so that Huo An has to withdraw from the complicated civil war and return to the Protectorate of the Western Regions to stick to it.
Second, the Xiliang army can be used to attack Hanzhong and Bashu.
The leader of the Xiliang Army is the player Xu Fengnian, and so far, the only player leader, with Xie Ai as his military advisor.
As the commander, Xie Ai has an intelligence of 94 points, which is quite good.
: Xie Ai
: Commander-in-Chief
:85
: Former cool star
:75
:90:47:94:60:88
:calm
:50
: Use the weak to force the strong
: white-clothed scholar
: Battle of Xiliang
: Xiliang iron cavalry
...
It is said that this is also an unlucky guy. He helped the former Liang country to repel the army sent by Shi Hu, the king of Zhao State, to attack Liangzhou three times.
Xie Ai's ability lies in winning more with less, the more disadvantaged he is, the stronger the Xiliang army's combat power will be.
This is also a strange person, but he is unknown.
After Chu Tian determined the military commander and military division of the Xiliang Army, Chu Tian included some generals in the formation of the Xiliang Army.
The first legion, the Ma Teng and Han Sui legions, with Ma Chao and Pang De as fierce generals and Xiliang iron cavalry as the core.
Ma Teng and Han Sui can be regarded as senior figures in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
In order to strengthen the strength of the Ma Teng and Han Sui legions, Pang De was added to the legion by Chutian, and returned to the formation of the Ma Teng and Han Sui legions.
In addition to Ma Chao and Pound, Ma Teng's sons Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and others will also participate in the war in the future, as well as Ma Dai, a general who should have belonged to the Shu Han.
Han Sui also had many generals.
The second legion, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong's legion, also consisted mainly of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Xie Ai's Xiliang Iron Cavalry also joined them, as well as Zhang Xiu's guard Hu Che'er. Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong all belonged to Dong Zhuo's old department, and they got along fairly well. Originally, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong could also be incorporated into the First Army Corps of the Xiliang Army, but Chutian, out of consideration for the separation of powers, could not let all the Xiliang Iron Cavalry be concentrated in one army, otherwise it would be too big to lose.
If the First Corps of the Xiliang Army was directly under the jurisdiction of Xu Fengnian, then the Second Corps of the Xiliang Army was directly under the command of Xie Ai.
Xu Fengnian and Xie Ai used to be enemies, and their partners also had the consideration of Chu Tian's check and balance.
Although Xu Fengnian has proved his loyalty, it does not mean that Chu Tian will completely trust Xu Fengnian, at least there must be someone similar to the supervisor, and Xie Ai is Xu Fengnian's supervisor.
The third army, Li Shimin's great-grandfather Li Hu, and the army of Duguxin, a handsome man from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, were mainly composed of soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The two generals belonged to the Eight Great Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Xu Fengnian's subordinates.
The Fourth Army, Yang Shihou of the Silver Spear Effect Jiedu, and General Fubo Ma Yuan. Yang Shihou was a famous general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and he was very famous for his silver spear effect, and the silver spear phalanx was indestructible.
Yang Shihou is also Xu Fengnian's general. In order to prevent Xu Fengnian's old troops from forming a clique for personal gain, Chutian incorporated the loyal Fubo General Ma Yuan into the Fourth Army of the Xiliang Army.
The four major legions of the Xiliang Army, each with about 50,000 troops, are mainly composed of high-level arms, with a total of 200,000 troops.
The scale of 200,000 people is already quite a lot.
According to Chutian's vision, there are ten army leaders in total. Even if each army leader has 200,000 troops under his command, there will be two million troops. military.
If the City Defense Army is included, the strength of the Chutian forces may exceed three million.
If you count the logistics...
Very exaggerated scale.
The 200,000 Xiliang army is considered a soldier, with a total of more than 400,000 horses.
Chu Tian mainly took a look at Ma Chao's characteristics, and he immediately found that Ma Chao's characteristics were a bit strange.
: Ma Chao
: Royal warrior
:65
: One of the five tiger generals
:85
:83:96:57:43:82
:brave
: 70
: Jin Ma Chao
: iron cavalry
: Iron Gun Warriors
: Battle of Xiliang
: Drive rate Qianghu
: Zhongyong
: Xiliang iron cavalry
...
Um?
Chu Tian always felt a little strange.
Ma Chao is full of 6 characteristics.
It is extremely rare for a general to have six characteristics at the beginning, and there are two characteristics, which don't look like Ma Chao's characteristics, "Iron Spear Warrior" and "Loyalty", they are more like Ma Chao's teacher Wang Yanzhang, that is, Wang Tieqiang's characteristic.
Could it be that Ma Chao inherited two traits from Wang Yanzhang, changing from four traits to six traits?
Not without this possibility.
No matter how you look at "Tieqiang Wushuang", it looks like Wang Tieqiang's characteristics.
A hundred-jin iron spear is more powerful than ordinary long spears, but it will affect the speed of generals. However, with this feature, even a hundred-jin iron spear can be easily wielded in the hands of a fierce general.
Moreover, Ma Chao's style cannot be said to be loyal and brave, because among the five tiger generals, Ma Chao is one of the princes after all, with a high ambition value.
Historically, Ma Teng became an official in the court. Ma Chao and Han Sui thought that Cao Cao wanted to annex Xiliang, so they raised troops to deal with Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious and killed Ma Teng's family.
In Romance, Cao Cao killed Ma Teng first, and Ma Chao rebelled against Cao in order to avenge his father.
Once the order is changed, Ma Chao's character is completely different.
Romance is to respect Shu, so it is understandable to change the order of Luo Guanzhong's Spring and Autumn writing style.
But Chutian can be sure that the current Ma Chao is influenced by Wang Yanzhang, and has acquired Wang Yanzhang's loyalty and bravery characteristics, which may be too much influenced by Wang Yanzhang.
In any case, it was a good thing for Chu Tian.
Ma Chao inherited the two characteristics of Wang Yanzhang, not to mention the increased intensity of duels, and his loyalty to the monarch. Chu Tian didn't have to worry about Ma Chao's ambitions.
