Magic Love Ring

Chapter 2088

As expected, Su Bingwen and song Yan didn't know. Ten days later, the imperial court's order was sent to Liangzhou military town, where 3000 troops were mobilized to suppress the rebel army in the northwest.

In addition, Liangzhou government was ordered to raise thousands of stone grain and 20000 liang of silver for the army.

One stone is equal to one hundred jin, and one stone is one hundred thousand jin of grain.

Even Su Bingwen, an honest official like him, could not help being dissatisfied with the court.

Moreover, the court has stipulated that the army must set out within five days.

"Ziyu, do you think this soldier can't go out?"

But, Su Bingwen can only find song Yan to discuss.

"No problem, after all, this is the order of the court!" Song inkstone.

"Then what shall we do in Liangzhou city? If barbarians come to attack, what shall we take to resist it?" Su Bingwen said.

Song Yan thought for a moment and said, "only recruit for training!"

Hearing that, Su Bingwen was distressed again. He needed to pay a settlement fee for recruiting new soldiers. A new soldier should pay at least two silver for settling down. Moreover, he had to spend silver for purchasing weapons and armor. Besides, he also spent silver for training.

If we gather three thousand recruits, it will cost about twenty thousand liang of silver.

So, Su Bingwen loves silver.

However, he knew that if Liangzhou had not enough soldiers, it would probably be taken advantage of by barbarians. Therefore, it was imperative to recruit new soldiers.

Then nodded: "Ziyu, how many recruits do you think it's better to recruit?"

"Ten thousand first!" Song Yan's calm way.

"Ten thousand? So many! "

Su Bingwen looks surprised.

Song Yandao: "every town is a mess. There is no army available at all. Now the imperial court is sending troops and horses around. It's good to have 50000 people. But the rebel army is expanding rapidly. We are near the northwest. Once the rebel army defeats the imperial court's soldiers and horses, I'm afraid we will suffer a disaster in Liangzhou. By then, there will be barbarians in front of us, and then there will be volunteers. If there are not enough soldiers and horses, we won't be hurt If barbarians break through, they will be broken by the rebel forces. Therefore, if we want to keep Liangzhou City, we must expand the force of the town! "

"It's not that bad, is it?" Su Bingwen's face was a little ugly.

"What is the situation of the official arena of the Wei state? Adults should have some understanding. Once the northwest uprising is successful, I'm afraid that other places will rise one after another. The chaos is coming, only the military power is in hand, otherwise..."

At this point, song Yan stops talking. He believes that even if Su Bingwen is stupid, he can understand the meaning of his words.

Bow your head and ponder for a while.

Su Bingwen said, "OK, then we'll call up the new army. We'll call 15, 000 directly. But we have to pay homage to Tzu Yu for this. I've written articles, but I don't know anything about military affairs."

"Please don't worry!"

Song Yan nodded, but he still appreciated Su Bingwen's point, not greedy for power.

After receiving the conscription order, song Yan recruited Liu Cheng to ask him to quickly post the conscription notice. The conscription requirement is very simple. You can go from 16 to 30 years old. Once you are selected, you can pay two liang of silver for settling down. The monthly military pay is five yuan of silver.

Soon after Liu Cheng went down, Wu Jingwei came.

"My Lord, what shall I do?"

Wu Jingwei was also very reluctant to make this move.

Song Yan reminded: "this soldier must go out, but you can slow down on the way!"

The whole territory of the Northwest has reached an extremely bad stage. I'm afraid it will fall down completely in a short time. As long as we slow down, we may not be able to catch up with the war.

Wu Jingwei's eyes brightened and hurriedly saluted: "thank you for reminding me!"

Liangzhou is located at the border, with a strong folk custom, but it is also poor. Therefore, as long as there is a two liang silver settlement fee after the election, it is very attractive. Therefore, in just two days, two thousand new recruits have been recruited.

At the same time, the three counties under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou also cooperated with the conscription.

Five days passed in a flash.

There are 7600 recruits in Liangzhou mansion.

The three counties gathered more than 3800 people, and the number of new recruits exceeded 11000.

Because song Yan specifically told, so the quality of these recruits are OK.

On this day, too.

Wu Jingwei set out with three thousand soldiers in the military town. After being reminded by song Yan, he actually only went 15 miles on the first day. He got the news. Song Yan couldn't help crying and laughing. He rushed to the northwest at his speed, afraid that he would have to wait a month later.

Left behind in the town is a deputy promoted by Wu Jingwei, named Sha Tianchen.

Before leaving, Wu Jingwei specially explained that he must cooperate with song Yan.

Therefore, the posture of Shacheng is very positive.

Another three days.

Fifteen thousand new recruits were finally recruited, and five hundred more.

So.

Song Yan directly asked Sha Tianchen to take them back to the military town for training. As for weapons and armor, they were all in the process of building.The armor of pure iron can't be built. It can speed up the iron goggle on the chest at most.

As for weapons, they are mainly long guns, because only the head of the gun can use iron.

Even so, more than 30000 liang of silver will be spent on the armor of 15000 people, plus another 30000 Liang will be spent on conscription, so 60000 Liang will have been spent before the army is formed.

I'm afraid it will cost another 30000 liang of silver to train the new army and pay them.

Before that, he copied yuan family castle. Song Yan brought back more than 500000 Jin of grain, and Wu Jingwei took 100000 Jin, and there were about 400000.

As for silver.

Apart from this expenditure, there are at most 100000 Liang left.

In the 17000 army, the military pay alone is about 10000 liang of silver, while the grain consumption is more than 20000 Jin a day. The remaining 400000 Jin of grain can't be maintained even in January.

Therefore, we have to pay money to buy grain. Two kilograms of grain and four hundred thousand kilograms of grain can last for more than two months at most.

Another ten days passed.

Wu Jingwei is still dawdling on the road with 3000 troops, but the situation in the Northwest has reached a critical point, only two cities are left.

But there are not many soldiers in these two cities.

One is only five thousand, one is only three thousand.

The imperial court mobilized only 8000 troops from all over the country, and the rest were either on the way or not.

But the insurgents have reached 500000.

Therefore, the eight thousand soldiers and horses mobilized by the court were not allowed to enter the northwest at all, but were stationed abroad, waiting for the arrival of other soldiers and horses.

Three days later, one of the only two cities was broken by the rebels.

The imperial court mobilized a force of 10000 people.

But they still dare not attack the rebel army.

Two days later, the last city in the northwest fell, which indicated that the whole northwest was under the control of the rebel army.

There are three leaders of the rebel army. They are said to be three brothers.

Xue Ping the eldest, Xue Cheng the second and Xue Shan the third.

After occupying the northwest province, some scholars who took part in them suggested that each of them should be king.

But Xue Ping, the eldest, directly ordered the scholar to be pushed out and cut off his head.

After learning the news.

Song Yan is interested in Xue Ping.

No matter the history of his world or the history of the former world, once the peasant uprising army developed rapidly in the early stage, but in the later stage, many leaders were addicted to enjoying it, and even many self proclaimed generals were king.

But this kind of people will be defeated and killed in the end, but Xue Ping can resist the temptation of sealing the king, which shows that his soldiers are not only satisfied with being an anti king, but mostly want to take the whole country.

"Sir, Xifeng County urgent report!"

While song Yan was browsing the northwest information, a yamen runner came to report in a hurry.

Song Yan picked up the urgent newspaper and opened it. His face suddenly sank slightly. The red wolves of the three barbarians took pictures of 8000 people attacking Xifeng County two days ago.

Xifeng County is the only medium-sized County in Liangzhou Prefecture. There are only 500 soldiers in the whole county, while the red wolf tribe has sent 8000. There are only 2000 veterans in Liangzhou military town, and the rest of the recruits are still in training.

If you take them to the battlefield, only the red wolf cavalry will be slaughtered.

Slightly pondering, song Yan goes to see Su Bingwen.

After learning the news, Su Bingwen's whole face suffered.

"Ziyu, what should I do?"

Su Bingwen's worried way.

"The five hundred soldiers and horses of Xifeng County can't resist the attack of the red wolves at all, and it started two days ago, so if there is no accident, Xifeng County has been broken!"

Song Yan analyzed.

So song Yan let the spy out.

When the spy returned that night, he found out that Xifeng City had not been broken.

"It's good if it's not broken! It's good if it's not broken! " Su Bingwen said happily.

"Not necessarily a good thing!"

Song Yan shakes his head.

"Why did Ziyu say that?" Su Bingwen looks at him puzzled.

"Although the red wolves are cavalry, do you think it's difficult to break through the west wind city?" Song Yan looks at Su Bingwen and asks.

"Not hard!"

Su Bingwen thought.

Song Yan then said: "since it's not difficult for them not to break the city, it's very simple. Their goal is Liangzhou military town. As long as the west wind city is not broken, we have to send troops to reinforce it. We only have two thousand veterans. Even if we take all the recruits up, we are not rivals of the red wolf family. Once the army of the town is destroyed, what can we take to resist them in Liangzhou city? So, the red wolf family The second goal is not Xifeng County at all, but Liangzhou Prefecture! "

Su Bingwen took a breath of air-conditioning: "then what should we do? Not to reinforce Xifeng County? "

"If we don't go for reinforcements, Xifeng County will surely be broken!" Song Yan said again."Ziyu, I'm confused by you. What should I do? Just say it!" Su Bingwen said helplessly.

"My Lord, I'd like to lead a thousand veterans to relieve the plight of Xifeng County, and all the rest of the soldiers and horses will be transferred to the Fucheng, so as to protect Liangzhou Prefecture from worry!"

"No, I don't agree! You are not going to get rid of the siege, you are going to die! "

Su Bingwen said in a loud voice that he didn't need to think about the result of 1000 infantry vs. 8000 cavalry. Therefore, in his opinion, song Yan was going to die.

Song Yan's confident smile: "my Lord, since I dare to propose this method, I have confidence!"

"But..."

Song Yan planned Su Bingwen's words: "adult, is there any other way besides this way?"

"Ziyu, you are still young and have a bright future. I can't let you take risks!" Su Bingwen is still adamant.
