Chapter 122 Secret Plot
[]
When he returned to Shuozhou, Xu Huai was also tired, but he was entangled by Zheng Tu and the others until late at night, so he was able to get out and return to the bedroom to untied his clothes and have a big sleep. It is true that since the northern expedition to Yan, Xu Huai has not had a good rest for a night. After falling asleep, all kinds of strange dreams overlapped. When he woke up at dawn, the chaotic dreams were gone without a trace.
Xu Huai stood up in his clothes, pushed open the window in front of the bed, and the bitter cold wind came in, and the surroundings were silent, as if the world should be so quiet and peaceful, without any disputes and killings.
There were candles in the wing room illuminating the window paper. Xu Huai pushed them away and saw Liu Qiong'er sitting under the lamp copying something.
"Why don't you rest?" Xu Huai walked over and hugged Liu Qiong'er, who was a little haggard from behind. Looking at more than ten thin pages of paper, the beautiful small and delicate characters were written in full, which were all the arguments he said yesterday, but it was much more detailed. It can be seen that he went back to the house and fell asleep at dusk yesterday. Liu Qiong'er and Xu Wuji and others discussed this matter for a long time.
Xu Huai squeezed Liu Qiong'er off the chair and asked her to sit on his thigh.
Liu Qiong'er sat in Xu Huai's arms, twisting her hips to get down. When Xu Huai held a pen and wrote the number "Lifengyuan, Yueyu Tower" on the light yellow rough paper, he asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Uncle Wu is the leader of this Lifeng Academy, how about you be the leader of this Yueyu Tower?" Xu Huai asked with a smile.
"You have to first talk about what Yueyu Tower does." Liu Qiong'er said.
For thousands of years, the Central Plains has always adhered to the theory of "when entering China, when leaving China, when leaving China", but the main solution is the problem of civilization, nation and even national identity.
This is somewhat high for the lower-level generals.
Since the founding of the Great Yue Dynasty, the relationship between civil war and civil war was even more distant from the basic soldiers with complex origins.
Xu Huai is now building more than 3,000 Tongbai Mountain soldiers into an elite army in Shuozhou. He needs a brand new identity to break through many oppositions within Tongbai Mountain soldiers, and to leave enough inclusiveness for further development and growth in the future.
After solving this basic problem, the Tongbai Mountain Tribe will be reorganized before everything will be smooth.
Traditional military supervision makes the Academy very weak. Several to dozens of military officials, supplemented by a certain number of soldiers, may be able to stop an army from wantonly killing and looting on the surface, but it cannot fundamentally shape military discipline.
Whenever the lower-level generals and soldiers violate the chaos, the enforcers of military discipline are mainly military officials at all levels. Military generals are inevitably rough or protected and close, and rewards and punishments are unknown, let alone creating the lower-level generals and soldiers.
Generals with a slightly lower level do not have this concept in their minds.
Xu Huai wants to further expand Zhufeng Hall Guards and then do this thoroughly.
Considering that the Tongbai Mountain soldiers should still be reorganized under the framework of the Dayue Imperial Army, Xu Huai planned to unify all the Zhufeng Hall guards in the name of Yu Houguan to Lifeng Courtyard.
Of course, setting up a private military discipline agency to control generals and soldiers is a taboo thing. Lifeng Court can only establish a false position and must strictly keep it confidential to the outside world.
However, whether it is the Yu Houguan or the Zhufeng Hall and Guard, they all need to carefully select personnel from the army for deeper training. No one is more suitable to serve as the Yu Houguan and the Lifeng Academy than Xu Wuli.
In addition, there is an extremely important task that needs to be continued and further strengthened.
That is intelligence work.
If they hadn't been able to target Chen Zixiao and Su Jin Tower early in the morning, even if Xu Huai could have a memory clip warning flashing in his mind, it would have been impossible to understand the full picture of Xiao Linshi's conspiracy; if it weren't for the secret line of the state yamen to discover Yuehai Tower, Guo Zhongxiong would have imprisoned Ge Boyi in the state jail for an hour, and Xu Huai believed that they had been involved in the whirlpool of "co-opportunism".
The Tianxiong Army was destroyed in Datong, and the attack of the captive cavalry from Shengde Gate and Ge Huaicong and others were encouraged to abandon the army and flee alone by Yue Hailou for a few words. No one can deny an extremely important factor, that is, the intelligence work of the Tianxiong Army was too bad.
Ge Huaicong didn't know who was defeated until his death.
Xu Huaiyi was completely disappointed with the military information collection work of Dayue, and the Tongbai Mountain soldiers must have their own intelligence agencies to control their own destiny.
For ordinary enemy reconnaissance, the scouts and mails organized by each department as usual are naturally responsible for the responsibility of the scouts and mails, but in a deeper and more systematic way of intelligence collection and infiltration, Xu Huai plans to formally establish Yueyu Building, with Liu Qiong'er in charge, and Zhou Jing is the deputy to her.
The Tongbai Mountain Sect will be within the framework of the Great Yue Imperial Army at this stage. No one will allow the one-sided imperial army to have an independent military intelligence organization. Yue Yu Tower will still be secretly established under the framework of Zhufengtang.
In addition to Lifeng Courtyard and Yueyu Building, Xu Huai also wanted to continue to build a large-scale scale based on the original paving and caravans of Zhufeng Hall.
In addition to strengthening the logistics supply of Tongbai Mountain soldiers in addition to the normal supply system of the imperial guards, Xu Huai also urgently needed to establish a secret passage at this time to ensure that when the situation completely collapsed, he could lead Tongbai Mountain soldiers to safely withdraw to Tongbai Mountain or other safe areas.
Xu Huai never imagined that at the earliest possible time, only one year, or two years at the latest, tens of thousands of cavalrymen of Chihu would cross Yinshan like a torrent, and he could turn the tide with his ability to turn the tide and block Chihu's cavalry north of Shuozhou.
If things can be solved so easily, there will be no huge disaster.
Xu Huai would never use the Khitan cavalry to measure the combat effectiveness of the Chihu cavalry.
This is not an existence at the same level at all.
The Khitan is old, and its military and horse conditions may be slightly better than those of the Dayue Imperial Army.
Even the foreign soldiers organized in a hurry were not very strong in combat.
When Xu Huai and his friends retreated from Datong City to Wuzhou Mountain, they had experienced it and even captured thousands of heads of foreign soldiers.
However, the Chihu people rose rapidly in thirty years and have been uninterrupted in the surrounding areas for thirty years. Their soldiers and generals have been training continuously for thirty years. This may be the peak period of their combat effectiveness, so that the most elite cavalry of the Khitan had no resistance in front of the Chihu cavalry.
What confidence does Xu Huai have? I think that the three thousand Tongbai Mountain soldiers can withstand the torrent of Chihu people going south?
Xu Huai never had such fantasies.
His fundamental goal with Wang Bing north was to bring back more Tongbai Mountain soldiers and retain more vitality for Tongbai Mountain in the coming disaster.
At present, they are only halfway through this goal.
In addition to Lifeng Courtyard and Yueyu Tower, in the name of Zhufeng Hall Paving Courtyard and caravan, secretly laying a passage for 3,000 people to retreat south is the top priority they will do next.
It is not difficult to withdraw the southward passage. The main reason is to buy more Zhufeng Villas on the expected southward passage, secretly reserve the necessary southward supply supplies and livestock, and provide temporary landing.
This will ensure that the soldiers and more troops in Tongbai Mountain will not collapse due to the lack of food and grass during the long two thousand miles of retreat to the south, and will not cause the morale of the army that has finally been shaped to be disintegrated because they have to rob food from the people.
If the soldiers of Tongbai Mountain can maintain their reorganization combat effectiveness during the retreat south, not only will the withdrawal of 3,000 troops and horses will not be a big problem, but they may also bring more troops to Tongbai Mountain.
Therefore, Xu Huai would not think that the Hu women and children in Shuozhou are any burden. As long as the arrangement is appropriate, these women and children can even go south in advance.
At the beginning of the Great Yue Dynasty, the families of the Imperial Army generals had to be centralized and settled in the capital, and were under the jurisdiction of the left and right military patrols. The Imperial Army soldiers were stationed in three years as the period.
This system could not be implemented in the middle and late periods. If the generals got married at the garrison, it would be common for them to accompany the army or move back to their hometown.
When you expect that the situation is wrong, it is not difficult to arrange women and children to go south in advance.
Of course, the situation when the disaster really comes is bound to be extremely complicated. Xu Huai cannot predict everything accurately now, and it is not even ruled out that the Chihu people may enter Yanji from the western Liaoning Corridor south, and then pass through Hebei Road and go straight to Bianjing. Hedong Road west of Taihang Mountain may be worry-free for the time being.
But no matter what, the necessary preparations must be carried out at the fastest speed.
For this reason, Xu Huai planned to organize a large number of labor and supplies camps, or wipe out some soldiers directly from the military list and directly incorporate them into the caravan of Zhufeng Hall.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is erased or not.
The Dayue Banying Army has always had a tradition of getting empty salaries. One or two soldiers in the military book cannot verify the real person. How big can the real person be considered in the current Dayue?
On the contrary, Xu Huai was not in a hurry to start the establishment of the battle camp. After all, whether to give the commander of the wing and who will give this position to, will be assigned to several additional battalion commanders. This must be decided by the court; of course, it also depends on how the Wang Fan wrote the memorial to the court.
After hearing Xu Huai talked about many arrangements, Liu Qiong'er looked towards the north window with a tight heart and asked, "Will the cavalry of the Chihu people really go south so quickly?"
"It won't delay two years at the latest," said Xu Huai. "In Shuozhou, Datong, Han and Fan intermarriage, but not without them. Among so many women and children stranded in Shuozhou, you will select those women and children who marry Han people and give birth to children, but still retain some characteristics of Hu people, to see if you can choose some courageous people who are worthy of viewing to get a job for Yueyu Building to cultivate..."
The appearance of the Hu tribes in the north and south of Yinshan Mountains is quite distinct from that of the Han people in the Central Plains. Yueyu Tower does not specially train a group of detailed works, and it will be very difficult to conduct intelligence spy and infiltration of the Chihu people in the future.
For now, only by capturing or bribing the Khitans can they indirectly understand the combat situation of the few elite troops left in the Khitans east of the Great Xianbei Mountains.
Useful clarity information is limited, but none of them are optimistic.
Xiao Linshi led his troops to defend Yingzhou, and he had no intention of further seeking the main force of the Eastern Route Army to fight...
