Chapter 881: Reorganizing the Guanzhong Army
After confirming the formation of the Xiliang Army, Chutian reorganized the Guanzhong Army to ensure that there is an army that can guard Guanzhong.
There are two huge cities in Guanzhong, Chang'an and Xianyang, with a population of tens of millions, which are extremely important. Therefore, Chutian needs to carefully consider the candidates for the Guanzhong Legion.
The Xiliang Army and the Guanzhong Army will still be important forces for attacking Hanzhong and Bashu in the future.
"The leader of the Guanzhong Army is still Wang Jian."
Chu Tian really couldn't think of a more suitable candidate for the Guanzhong Army than Wang Jian.
Before getting Bai Qi, Wang Jian was already the strongest Qin commander.
As for the issue of loyalty, Wang Jian is better at being a man than Bai Qi, knowing that the monarch is worried about the great achievements of the general, so he will have a sense of proportion.
So Bai Qi died, and Wang Jian can die well. Wang Jian's son Wang Ben and grandson Wang Li are also famous. One participated in the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, and the other participated in the suppression of the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty.
One of the missions of the Xiliang Army is to assist the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and the Guanzhong Army is the main force to march into Yizhou. Its base is in Guanzhong, and its strength will be even larger.
The Qin Ruishi of Wang Jian and Li Xin can be combined into a 50,000-strong army composed entirely of Qin Ruishi.
Therefore, the first army of the Guanzhong Army is the Qin Ruishi Army composed of Wang Jian and Li Xin, which is also the core force of the Guanzhong Army. Wang Jian served as the commander of the army and the commander of the army.
The second army consisted of Meng Tian's 4,000 Golden Fire Cavalry, Meng Wu's 10,000 Qin Ruishi, and a group of low-level troops. Meng Tian's ability is higher than Meng Wu's, but because Meng Wu is Meng Tian's father, the army commander is Meng Wu.
The commander of the Third Army is Li Ji, and Li Ji is the military adviser of the Guanzhong Army, and he has a tacit understanding with Wang Jian.

...
Chu Tian assigned the second commander of the early Tang Dynasty to the Guanzhong Army.
Wang Jian mainly used infantry, and Li Ji mainly used cavalry.
Few people know Li Ji's real name, but in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the prototype of Xu Maogong, a semi-immortal figure like Zhuge Liang, a military adviser in Wagangzhai, is Li Ji.
Li Ji fought from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. After the death of Tang Taizong Li Shimin and the military god Li Jing who defeated Li Ji, Li Ji continued to fight. From the age of twenty to seventy, it was really inspirational...
The opponents who fought against Li Ji included Zhang Xutuo, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhuaji, Song Jingang, Dou Jiande, and Fugong Er, the princes of the late Sui Dynasty, and Turks, Xue Yantuo, and Goguryeo in foreign wars.
One year before Li Ji's death, Li Ji, who was in his seventies, restrained Xue Rengui, Qibi Heli and other generals, and finally destroyed Goguryeo.
When he was young, Li Jiduo played the role of a wise general, and he also had the experience of being defeated by Dou Jiande, Liu Heitai and other princes, but Li Ji has the ability to grow and has a long peak period.
Generally, when generals get old, all the values will drop, so there is a question of whether Lian Po is old and can still eat. When some monarchs get old, their intelligence will inevitably decline. So it is not difficult to understand that Qin Shihuang in his later years could not solve Zhao Gao's problem.
The peak period of some generals can be maintained until their later years.
Chu Tian considered for a long time that the Guanzhong Army could not be completely controlled by the remnants of the old Qin forces.
Guan Zhongjun had to insert Chu Tian's cronies in order to be at ease.
As Wang Jian's former opponent, Wu Qi had the ability to restrain Wang Jian, but Wu Qi could also be a military leader, so it would be too wasteful to be assigned to the Guanzhong Army at the same time as Wang Jian.
"The Fourth Legion is under the command of Feng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai."
Chu Tian thought of Feng Yi who was guarding Xuchang at this time.
Feng Yi's rushing soldiers are the main force, together with a group of low-level infantry, it is enough to form a legion.
Feng Yi was originally talking about Tang’s general, and now his loyalty to Chutian has exceeded 90, which makes him one of Chutian’s confidantes. In addition, Feng Yi was originally one of the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, with the ability to command troops and horses. One of the strongest generals, so it can be reused.
So Chutian incorporated Feng Yi into the Fourth Army of the Guanzhong Army.
In addition to Feng Yi, Chu Tian also wanted to place another confidant in the Guanzhong Army.
It is really not easy to determine who is selected from Chutian's old department to join the Guanzhong Army.
The top ten military leaders, except for Xu Fengnian, who helped Chutian conquer almost the entire Liangzhou, the other military leaders are basically emperor-level commanders.
The head of the army under the command of the army master either has his own fixed team, is either a king-level commander, or a fierce general.
"Chen Qingzhi?"
Chu Tian thought of Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun.
The strength of the local army has increased, but Chu Tian wants to reorganize the White Robe Legion into the Imperial Guard to check and balance the increasingly powerful local army.
Among the top ten military leaders, the military leader of Qidi is actually Chu Tian concurrently, and Qidi is the area around Xuzhou and Qingzhou.
Xuzhou is the land of Chutian's Longxing, and it is the most affluent state at present, so it is impossible for Chutian to appoint other people to be the military leader here, and he can only serve concurrently.
Therefore, the Qidi Army is actually the Imperial Guard Army, and there is no local army.
Chu Tian wanted to recruit Chen Qingzhi, Zhao Yun, and Xue Rengui back to the Imperial Guard, so he had to choose another general to form the Fifth Army of the Guanzhong Army.
"Yue Fei and Yang Ye captured Yinzhou City, and Yang Ye's army was also near Guanzhong. Then transfer Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao to the Guanzhong Army."
Chutian decided to cancel the Bingzhou Army and merge Yang Ye's Army into the Guanzhong Army.
The purpose of the establishment of the Bingzhou Army was originally to pacify Guanzhong.
Now that Guanzhong has been pacified, there is no need for it to exist.
Originally the commander of the Bingzhou Army, Yue Fei, Chutian planned to be incorporated into the Huainan Army and serve as the commander of the Huainan Army.
The Huainan Army was facing the Jiangdong forces, and Chu Tian's appointment of Yue Fei as the commander of the Huainan Army was very obvious.
He wanted to divide his troops into three groups, from Hanzhong, Xiangyang, and Huainan, to put pressure on the southern princes.
"So be it."
Chu Tian officially confirmed the list of Guan Zhongjun.
Wang Jian was the leader of the army, Li Ji was the military adviser, and Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Li Ji, Feng Yi, and Yang Ye were the commanders of the five armies. Chutian transferred Xue Wanche to Li Ji's army and added a strong general to Li Ji's army.
The Guanzhong Army is based in Guanzhong and has a larger population, so it has one more legion than the Xiliang Army. At the same time, each legion has an average of 80,000 people, a total of 400,000 troops, and its strength is twice that of the Xiliang Army.
In other words, the military strength of Guanlong and Longdi reached an astonishing 600,000.
These 600,000 are soldiers, and when Shu is destroyed, they can come out in full force.
Guanzhong and Xiliang are the territories that Chutian occupied not long ago, so Chutian spent more time considering the candidates for the two places.
As for the other military leaders and their subordinates, Chu Tian didn't need to spend too much time to make a decision.
Wu Qi, the leader of the Central Plains Army, Cao Cao, the leader of the Hebei Army, Wei Qing, the leader of the Youzhou Army, Yue Fei, the leader of the Huainan Army, Li Mu, the leader of the Monan Army, and Chu Tian himself, the leader of the Imperial Guard Army. Chu Tian decided to incorporate Le Yi into the imperial guards to strengthen the strength of the imperial guards.
As for the leader of the Mobei Army, Chu Tian considered for a long time, and finally decided to appoint the second player, Prince Yan, who was both an ally and also worked hard, to be the leader.
The leader of the Liaodong Army has not yet been determined.
The Western Region Army has not yet been established, but Chutian has considered making Huo An the leader of the army.
There is also a huge army apart from the infantry army, the Fubo Army. The commander of the Fubo Army tentatively named Yu Yunwen.
In fact, there are a total of twelve military leaders, among which there are four players, Chu Tian, Huo An, Xu Fengnian, Prince Yan, and one undecided.
The other seven military leaders, besides Yu Yunwen, Wu Qi, Wang Jian, Cao Cao, Wei Qing, Li Mu, and Yue Fei, were at least emperor-level commanders.
Chutian's power has reached its peak so far due to the reorganization of its military power.
There are 600,000 soldiers in Guanlong alone, which is good enough for the princes of Sichuan and Shu.
In addition to the Xiliang Army and the Guanzhong Army to determine the specific list, Chu Tian also arranged for each army leader each legion.
The candidate for the military leader will be unconditionally replaced by the Xia Palace, and he will go to Xiacheng to meet with him every six months and report to Chutian. If Chu Tian is not satisfied, he can change the military leader.
In addition to having the power to mobilize various legions during wartime, the military leader is also directly appointed by the Xia Palace.
