The biggest good thing the Xiling three main gate lords have done in the past ten or so years is probably to train these cavalry. Although they add up to only two thousand, they are all well trained. , Riding and shooting kungfu is also good.” Looking at Qin Xiao’s eyes solemnly said: “Datang used to have an armored cavalry that crossed the world, but now it’s no longer than it was in the past. The cost of training cavalry is extremely large. At that time, the financial resources were difficult, and the military resources were once reduced, so the number of cavalry is no longer large, and the main equipment is in the left and right armed guards."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, thinking that if Datang really had that huge iron cavalry in its heyday, Wu Tuo and other barbarians would not have coveted Datang.

Western Wutuo, Northern Tusun, and even Southern Xinjiang Murong, they have a covetous heart, nothing more than seeing the decline of the Datang, they have the opportunity to take advantage, otherwise Southern Xinjiang Murong would not dare to split the soil and become king. The surrounding barbarians have long bowed their heads.

"The Xiling Three Cavaliers add up to two thousand people. It really needs to be placed on the battlefield. It is also a usable force." Mencius said: "Of course the general will not let these well-trained cavalry disband and return to their hometown. The general returns. Xiling, to build a defense, the source of troops must be indispensable. How can they be disbanded when they are recruiting brave soldiers.

Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as General Heiyu did not dissolve the White Tiger Camp, then the White Tiger Camp would naturally not be disbanded, but he was even more strange in his heart: "Holding heads, if this is the case, why would Zhong Lang set up such a battle? I broke his good deeds?"

"What I said is wrong, I can't say that it's a good thing for him." Mencius lowered his voice: "In fact, he was only for the court." After a pause, he whispered: "The three cavalry in Xiling are part of the general's plan. In the middle, they are all used by the court, but when the general is considering how to use the Xiling cavalry, he has divided his opinions into two groups."

"Two opinions?"

"The first one is naturally to expand the cavalry in Xiling with the Xiling Cavalry as the foundation." Mencius said solemnly: "There have been famines and even plagues in Xiling these years. At present, the strategy is placed in the south, so the support given to Xiling will not be too much, or even negligible. If the general wants to raise troops in Xiling, he can only rely on local money and food." He sighed and said, "You and I are here. For many years in Xiling, I know in my heart that there are two things that Xiling local relies on, one is mineral deposits, and the other is war horses. If you have to add the same, it is business tax. Open iron ore, you can forge weapons, expand cavalry, local Xiling horses can naturally come in handy. This is much less than the cost of keeping cavalry in the pass. If the commerce with the Wutuo people has been smooth, business tax can also make up for the lack of Xiling’s finances, but Xiling is not a granary. There is only a small part of the land that can be cultivated, and it is often exposed to natural disasters. Therefore, a large part of Xiling’s finances is used to buy food from within the pass."

Qin Xiao agreed with Mencius's words.

Xiling is not short of ore, let alone war horses, but lacks food.

Therefore, living in Xiling, if you can eat white noodles and steamed buns every day, it is already very happy. If you can eat the rice produced in Shangguan, it is not an ordinary person.

"Raise soldiers and eat food." Mencius sighed: "To recruit troops to train in Xiling, we must first solve the problem of their food. Did you know that the Duhu Army who guarded Xiling back then had only 5,000 soldiers and horses? In the final analysis, it was Xiling's food support. Can't afford too many soldiers

Horses, if there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed all year round, not to mention the military salary, only the daily food and drink is a huge expense, Xiling simply cannot hold it."

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "Catch the head, 16 years ago in the Wutuo Rebellion, Xiling suffered heavy losses. The court did not give out money and food to calm the people. Instead, Xiling fell into the hands of the Xiling clan. The Xiling clan did not think about the lives of the people. The exploitation of the people over the years has never stopped, coupled with natural disasters, and the plagues of the previous years, the lives of the people have become more and more difficult." Shaking his head, "Speaking harder, sixteen years have passed, and now Xiling is more difficult than before. Also weak."

"What you said is not wrong." Mencius said: "So although the imperial court has ordered the generals to recruit troops in Xiling, unless the people's life and death are ignored, 20,000 soldiers and horses are already the limit of Xiling. If we want the people to live well. Some, to reduce taxes, restore the vitality of Xiling, recruit fewer soldiers and horses. The general really wants to restore the vitality of Xiling, but the Wutuo people have to recruit troops to prepare for war, not only to guard against the people of Xiling, but also to take care of the people of Xiling. , The only way is to raise fewer soldiers, but those who are raised must be good soldiers and strong generals."

"Head-catching, I have been to Wutuo, and I have fought against Wutuo cavalry, and I compared it with my heart. If the cavalry of Baihu Camp competes with Wutuo cavalry one-on-one, their strength is not lower than that of Wutuo cavalry." Qin Xiao said solemnly.

Mencius smiled and said: "The general knows the strength of the Xiling cavalry. Although it is said that the Wutuo cavalry has lived on horseback since childhood, the training of the Xiling cavalry is much harder than that of the Wutuo. The general knows that he is fighting alone. Not only is the Xiling Cavalry not weaker than the Wutuo people, it can even be slightly better.” After a pause, he continued: "That’s why some people under the general suggested that the Xiling Cavalry should be used as the foundation to expand the cavalry. You Baihu Camp These cavalry soldiers will serve as an example to train at least another 5,000 to 10,000 cavalry within two years."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "This is a good thing. The Three Great Gate Lords have raised countless horses under the Qilian Mountains and trained in Xiling. The most indispensable thing is horses."

"But there are still some people who worry that the Xiling Cavalry was created by the Xiling family alone." Mencius said in a serious manner: "They have a close relationship with the Xiling family, but they have never been favored by the court. If the Xiling family wants to do tricks again, the Xiling Cavalry will It is likely to be used by the Xiling family."

"Since it has become the protector of the Xiling Capital, the Baihuying loyalty is naturally to the court, how can it be ordered to the Xiling family again?" Qin Xiao frowned.

Mencius stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and said: "You haven't been in Baihuying for a long time, maybe you can't feel their mood. For more than ten years, the Yuwen family has been eating and drinking in Baihuying, and the Yuwen family has supported them and theirs. Jiaxiao, this time the White Tiger Camp is willing to be included by the court, although it is because of a better future, but also because the Yuwen family is willing to let them be included. Although they are already defending the army, you dare to say that the Yuwen family treats them The impact disappears?"

Qin Xiao looked solemn and did not speak.

He had to admit that Bai Huying was branded by Yuwen's family. It would be self-deception to say that the ties between Baihuying and Yuwen's family were cut off because of the imperial order.

"So Su Changyu and others suggested that all the Xiling cavalry should be transferred to Woye Town." Mencius said: "After the two thousand men and horses are transferred to Woye Town, some troops and horses will be sent from Woye Town. In the past ten years, they will be generals and soldiers. With the position of General Yunjun in Woye Town, the soldiers in Woye Town can be regarded as the general’s direct line. Not only are they loyal to the general, but they also command

It is handy.There are 20,000 soldiers in Woye Town, and three thousand longevity troops are among them. After the general returns to Xiling, the three thousand longevity troops will naturally be transferred.However, three thousand soldiers and horses are stationed at Xiling, and the force is too weak. If Xiling cavalry is transferred, two or three thousand people can be transferred from Woye Town. At that time, the general had five or six thousand direct descendants in Xiling, and he wanted to control the situation in Xiling. Will suffice."

"The home of the Xiling Cavalry is here. Although the training is strict, there are still opportunities to visit their family members every year." Qin Xiao said: "If you are transferred away, you may not see your family for a few years. And the Xiling Cavalry is a Xiling Cavalry. The cliques are cliques and there is no need to confuse them. Although I have not been in the camp for long, I also know that if they have the opportunity to defend their homeland, they will never be ambiguous."

Mencius sighed: "You and I all know that they are bloody and will be loyal to the empire. However, Zhong Langjun's worries cannot be said to be unreasonable. Sixteen years ago, the Xiling family seemed to be loyal to Datang, who Can you expect them to have two hearts at the most critical time? Five thousand guards, and in the end only less than two thousand people are left, and even Xia Duhu died under the sword of the Wutuo people. After that change, Many people do not trust the people of Xiling, and there are many people who have doubts about the people of Xiling, like Zhong Langjiang."

Thousands of guards died in Xiling. An important reason is that the Xiling family stayed out of the situation.

Those soldiers who died in the battle were all fellow brothers of Su Changyu, blood-stained Guanshan, Su Changyu was naturally fresh in his memory. His anger and even hatred for Xiling people were outside the matter, but it was also natural.

"Zhonglang will come today and deliberately tell you that as long as he can't defeat him, he will disband the White Tiger Camp. That is also to scare you." Mencius said in words: "His real purpose is to transfer you to Woye Town. You really have no one to defeat him. At that time, you will choose whether to disband and return to your hometown or go to Woye Town to serve the court. Most of you are probably still willing to go to Woye Town. At least you will have food and military pay. You can also be promoted." A faint smile: "Directly a military order will transfer you to Woye Town, Xiling Cavalry is naturally unwilling, but the Zhong Lang will use this method to transfer you away, you also have nothing to say."

Qin Xiao understood the reason, and sighed: "In this way, I really broke the plan of the general."

"Don't think too much, Zhong Lang will not be a narrow-minded person." Mencius Mo smiled and said: "You can use that method to defeat him today, he probably didn't expect. Hey, Zhong Lang will start playing at the age of eleven. He has done countless meritorious services and is more skilled in the army. He has never lost to anyone. His character is inevitably arrogant. If you beat him today, it can be regarded as a reminder and suppressing his temper." He looked up at the sky, Said: "Don't tell me, since it has been incorporated into the Guardian Army, you will serve the court in the future. Sooner or later you will always have the opportunity to make contributions."

"Head catching, where is Du Wei Han now?"

"He's at the Turtle City." Mencius said in ink: "Although the Zhen family and his son are dead, the Zhen family is still there. He wants to persuade the Zhen family to move into the customs as soon as possible, and also to incorporate the wolf ride. Xiling three rides will be all To be incorporated into the Guardian Army, after a while, the three rides will be assembled together, and there are still many things to do at the moment." Pat Qin Xiao on the shoulder: "I'll pass first."

Qin Xiao watched Mencius leave, and then looked up at the sky of night, thinking that if he let Su Changyu out of the circle today, he really changed the fate of Baihuying.
