Chapter 287 The Truth Comes Out
After the army reorganization plan was announced, all the troops in the Shanhai County territory began to move.
Where did the troops rush to assemble and wait for reorganization; where did the generals rush to take up their posts and where did they go to receive the troops?
The generals in Shanhai County basically participated in the Battle of Changping, and they admired Bai Qi's ability. Therefore, Bai Qi served as the general at the beginning, and did not cause turmoil and dissatisfaction in the army.
The weapons and equipment produced by the workshops of the four major armies were continuously transported to the three camps. Since the last big purchase of raw materials, the Jiafang Division and the Bow and Crossbow Division have been working at full capacity, producing a large number of bows and armor.
Along with the weapons and equipment, there are also a large amount of food and grass supplies. Seeing that winter is coming and the war is coming to an end, it is a good time for army training, so it is natural to stock up enough food and grass in advance.
With the rapid development of animal husbandry, the grain and grass in the army, in addition to food, also has a lot of fish and meat. A large number of goats and pigs were transported to the camps and raised in pens. Among the fish, in addition to seafood from Beihai County, there are also freshwater fish from Xila Lake, which are extremely rich in variety.
In addition, the Combat Preparedness Department also specially dispatched personnel to the tribes on the grassland to purchase green clam horses. The three master regiments have a shortfall of five or six thousand horses.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to use the green clam horses bred at the Gale Valley Army Stable Farm for the time being, and asked the Combat Preparedness Department to go to the grassland to purchase as much as possible. After winter, the livelihood of the tribes in the grassland began to be difficult. As long as they prepared a large amount of food, they could still get some green clam horses.
The troops refitted with the weapons and equipment they had bought out, and the arsenal in Shanhai County was filled to the brim. Aunt Lin Jing took the members of [Shangxue Meigui] back and forth more than twenty times before she was able to empty the arsenal. According to preliminary estimates, this batch of weapons and equipment can be sold for at least 30,000 gold coins, which is more than enough to cover the cost of changing jobs for the army in Shanhai County.
The price paid is that the large amount of elite equipment produced by the workshops of the four major armies has not yet achieved profitability, and all of them have been digested internally, making allies such as Xunlong Dianxue complain endlessly.
The profit cycle of the military industry has been delayed until the next year.
The extra gold coins from selling equipment were all used by Ouyang Shuo to purchase military rations from the market. He purchased tens of millions of units of food and stored them in the granary in the western suburbs to fill the food shortage in the territory.
While Shanhai County was actively reorganizing its armaments, unusual changes took place in the grasslands.
*************
Tianju tribe, Khan's tent.
Monk Khan's expression changed, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he asked in a deep voice, "Can you see clearly?" Monk's body is not as good as before, even so, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of him.
"Even if that person turns into ashes, I'll still recognize him. He's absolutely unmistakable." The man who answered was a tall, bearded middle-aged man. When he spoke, his eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.
Upon closer inspection, this man turned out to be Lakshin, the commander of the western part of the original town who was imprisoned by Monk before. Unexpectedly, he was quietly released by Monk, and he seemed to be out on a mission, and had just rushed back to report to Monk.
The person Lakshin recognized was Lin Yi, the young general who planned the wildfire operation and ruined the western part of the town. Previously, the northern camp was stationed south of the moat in Youyi County, and it was usually difficult to see Lin Yi's true face.
After the camp in the north of the city was moved to the original gathering place of the Tianfeng tribe, Lin Yi was no longer a secret in front of the prairie people. If it wasn't for the fact that the troops had just moved to Daying in the north of the city, and then went to participate in the Battle of Changping, they would have been exposed long ago.
Ouyang Shuo was also to blame for his carelessness, he never thought that Lakshin, who was rumored to be imprisoned, would see the light of day again.
In fact, not long after Lakshin was imprisoned, he was quietly released by Monk. Monk gave Lakshin a secret mission, which is to find out who attacked the west of the town before.
Munch couldn't feel at ease if he didn't investigate this matter clearly.
Lakshin was misled by Ouyang Shuo's blindfold. The targets of his previous investigation were mainly the tribes and bandit camps in the west. He never thought that the enemy would come from the south.
It wasn't until Shanhai County captured the Tianfeng Tribe without bloodshed and formally gained a foothold in the grassland that Lakshin's attention was drawn. After some investigation, he found Lin Yi, the enemy who ruined his life, in Daying North of the city.
At this point, all the truth came to light.
"So, it's all their fault that our Tianji tribe has fallen into the land it is today?!" Monk's voice was cold, although there was no trace of hatred, it made people feel even colder.
"Not only that, but the general believes that the riots and assassinations that occurred on the border of the medium-sized tribes not long ago were also done by them, and their purpose was to cooperate with their military operations to destroy the Tianfeng tribe. Even the demise of the earliest Tianlian tribe was related to them They can't get away with it. They are a pack of hungry wolves, and they have been staring at our prairie tribe for a long time." After experiencing an ordeal, Lakshin became more calm, but his expression looked a little cold.
"Hey, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch." Monk saw it clearly, and then asked: "Do you know the strength of their army?"
"Very strong. According to their organization, there are two cavalry brigades stationed in the so-called North Camp alone, with a total of 5,000 people, which is equivalent to the east of our town." Speaking of this, Lakshin was also a little frustrated and adjusted his mood , and continued: "Not only that, but in the past few days, they seem to be reorganizing the army again. Although the specific situation cannot be detected, the army will only increase and will never decrease. What's more hateful is that their cavalry, mounted All of them are green clam horses from our grassland, and the equipment they are equipped with is much better than ours."
Monk's face turned dark, and he said: "So, our tribe alone can't do anything to them?"
Lakshin noticed Khan's expression, and his heart trembled. He wondered if Khan thought of the annihilated town west again, and this matter had become a knot in his heart. Lakshin shook his head, trying to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said cautiously: "Although the final general doesn't want to admit it, they have indeed grown their wings. In addition to the garrison in the northern camp, they also have a garrison in Youyi County. Garrisons elsewhere."
"Hmph, we can't do it. Are we afraid that we can't destroy them by gathering the power of the entire grassland?" Monk is worthy of being a hero, he can afford it, and immediately thinks of using external force to destroy the enemy.
"But, will those medium-sized tribes agree to send troops?" Lakshin expressed doubts. Today is different from the past. The remaining seven medium-sized tribes are now on guard against the Tianji tribe, and they have long held grudges.
Lakshin also heard that people from Shanhai County went to various medium-sized tribes to purchase green clam horses, and they were all welcomed by those tribes. Those guys had long been bought by their grain, tea and salt.
Monk seemed to see through Lakshin's mind, and said: "You, don't underestimate those medium-sized tribes. Don't look at them now fighting with Shanhai County, it's because they didn't recognize Shanhai County's wolf ambition. Once we grasp Information, report to the medium-sized tribes, I can guarantee that those guys will be tempted. After all, no one wants to be the next Tianfeng tribe, right? Their competition with us is just a civil war in the final analysis. Now Shanhai County It is the common enemy of our grassland." What Monk didn't explain to Lakshin was that he also wanted to use this operation to re-establish the core leadership position of the Tianji tribe in the grassland.
"Khan is wise!" Lakshin had to admit that he was not at the same level as Khan when it came to trying to figure out people's hearts. He was really immature.
Monk waved his hand vigorously, and then said: "Relying on external forces is only a bad idea after all. More importantly, we have to have an army that can deter the Quartet. After so long, the time has come to reorganize the western part of the town. Lakshin , I hope you don't let me down again."
Lakshin's head buzzed, his blood surged instantly, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak. At this moment, his mood is really complicated, excitement, joy, gratitude, melancholy, etc., are mixed and difficult to express.
He could only respectfully kowtow three times to Munch, and solemnly swear: "The last general will swear allegiance to the Khan, even if he is heartbroken, he will not hesitate to repay the Khan's great kindness!"
Monk nodded, that's what he wanted. Recently, the nobles in the clan have been restless. Of course, the newly formed town west must be in the hands of generals who are completely loyal to themselves.
One loose and one tight, everything is under control.
*************
Ouyang Shuo didn't know anything about the conversation that happened in the grassland.
He is now busy convening the heads of various departments to coordinate the reorganization of the army. Ouyang Shuo successively summoned Song San, Wang Yuanfeng, Qian Lao, Zhao Youfang and others to arrange the formation of the logistics support battalion of the three master regiments.
The Military Intelligence Division is in charge of setting up a scout squadron, and there is a [Rattlesnake] teaching team to start a small business. The level of investigation by the Military Intelligence Division is already far from the same level. Training 300 scouts is still a no-brainer.
Scouts are divided into infantry scouts and cavalry scouts to undertake different reconnaissance tasks.
The Shenji Battalion is responsible for the formation of the engineering squadron, including the craftsmen who build the camp, the crossbowmen who operate the large bed crossbow, and the professional soldiers who operate the siege equipment such as ladders, etc., all belong to the engineering squadron.
With Wang Yuanfeng, a battalion officer who is proficient in all kinds of large equipment, the formation of the engineering squadron went smoothly, and Ouyang Shuo did not worry too much.
The official medical department is responsible for the formation of military medical squadrons. As early as the establishment of the official medical office, Qian Lao, the deputy director of the official medical office, had already started to train the military medical team, which had been formed recently, and could be directly transferred to the three master regiments to serve.
The Combat Readiness Division is responsible for the formation of the Firehead Army Squadron. Only relying on the Combat Preparedness Department, to complete this task, chefs must be recruited from outside, and then registered in the army, and they must also receive basic military training.
