Northern Dynasties

Chapter 272
Wooden fences and ditches were used to divide the area of ​​the Piyuan into blocks of different sizes. In some places, soldiers were busy building camps for the troops to settle in. The horses who practiced the horses galloped.

In the northern part of Piyuan, there is a hill with a moderate slope. The hill is not high in altitude, but it can overlook the surrounding fields from the height.

In the early morning, Li Tai and his entourage rode their horses to the gate at the foot of the hill. There were already many generals waiting here, and each handed the name card of the talisman to the guards inside the gate, asking them to pass it on to the big tent.

The arrival of Li Tai and his party has attracted a lot of attention. In addition to his outstanding appearance, it is also because he had to deal with these generals when he was also in command before. His style is still fresh in the memory.

Although it is said that there are only a few generals who bestow honor guards and cultural relics, they are all chosen for their position and prestige, and there are many generals and fans under their command.

The atmosphere of forming cliques in the army is even worse than that in the court. Li Tai, on behalf of the Taiwan government, exploited armor and weapons from those people, and those people would naturally assign tasks to their subordinates.

These mid-level and lower-level generals probably didn't know the whole story, but in the end they were responsible for everything.As the actual executor of this matter, Li Tai inevitably had a negative image in their eyes.

But Li Tai didn't care about it. Although he hadn't stepped into the real upper class yet, he could still be regarded as the upper middle class. Regardless of his personal force or trilogy power, these middle and lower class town soldiers couldn't beat him.

Moreover, with the continuous advancement of the Fubing system, these old town soldiers will be eliminated sooner or later, and a large number of small and medium-sized landlords in Guanlong are in urgent need of leadership.After the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, one of the fundamental reasons why a few guys in the Six Pillars Kingdom were dealt with so smoothly was that they lost the support from the middle and lower levels of the town soldiers.

It may be a bit cruel to say this, but the fact is that after the vigorous uprising of the six towns, except for a small number of people who achieved a class transition with their strength and luck, most of the town soldiers were reduced to consumables of the times and became powerful forces. Iterative consumables.

For example, in the current Western Wei regime, and even in the scene in front of you, the chief officer of the battalion, Yu Jin, was born in a family of captives, not to mention Li Tai, they all belong to the remnants of the old forces that stole the fruits of the revolution!

After he handed in the talisman here, he was still feeling emotional, and a knight in hakama pleats trotted over at the gate, passed the long-awaited people outside the gate, and looked straight at Li who was in the back row. Tai waved to him and said, "Boshan, you came too early, the general asked me to introduce you."

Li Tai saw that it was Nian Hua who came, and was speechless for a while, why are you everywhere?Are you a professional who hugs your thighs and messes with the government?
Under the resentful eyes of the generals in front of him, Li Tai rode his horse and jumped into the queue without public morality. After the guards let him go, he entered the camp, pointed at Nian Hua and asked curiously, "Brother Nian, why are you here?"

"A month ago I was busy with the funeral of Wang Taifu, and I felt exhausted physically and mentally. I was going to gather two or three friends to live in Zhongnan Mountain for more than a month. But General Yu sent envoys several times to search for households, and the hospitality was hard to give up, so I had to pack up and go back. The government."

Nian Hua felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said in embarrassment: "In the past, I worked with the Taiwei Duke's Mansion, but now Boshan is Fang Mu's choice for Linmin to lead the army, but I still move around the Duke's mansion and am too timid to be in charge. , Bo Shan is afraid that he will laugh at my incompetence?"

Li Tai held back a smile and shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Nian, you are too modest. You are appreciated and used by all the lords, which shows that your talents and abilities are outstanding, which is already the consensus of the masses. Only those who are stupid and beyond our reach need to work hard. , Striving for approval."

"What kind of talent and quality is nothing more than my late father's Yinze was quite impressive."

After hearing this, Nian Hua laughed at himself, and nodded to the generals who crossed their hands outside the gate, and then led Li Tai to the big tent in the camp.

Although this guy is a second-generation guy, he is not the annoying kind. He treats people with sincerity and is not keen on showing off his power. Even Gao Zhongmi misses him often, no wonder the level of the government is getting higher and higher.

If you write an online article with this guy as the protagonist, it should be called "Three Kingdoms after Conquering Hegemony: Starting from the Secret of Being a Leader".

Thoughts surged in Li Tai's mind, and before he knew it, he had already arrived outside the big tent. Nian Hua raised his hand to signal him to wait outside the tent for a while, and he would enter the account first to report, and after a while, he came out again to wave to Li Tai to come in. .

There are quite a lot of people in the big tent, and there are two to thirty people sitting in rows on the left and right.

Yu Jin sat on the top, still ticking off the letter with one hand, and pointed to the empty seat in front of him with the other hand, motioning for Li Tai to take a seat.In the short time Li Tai sat in the table, he had already approved several official documents.

"Boshan came here to ask for supplies for your department? I'm afraid it won't be possible today. The current camp is not enough. Let's go in three or two days. Come back in two days. I'll ask the government officials to arrange for your troops to enter first. Set up the camp."

Yu Jin took a glance at Li Tai and put it back on the table, then said quickly, and when he talked about it, he smiled jokingly and said: "At present, most of the materials used on the plateau are paid by the Water Administration. Of course, the chief case officer will give preferential treatment. If someone else makes the request, I will just let him wait, and don’t come early to make trouble!"

"The general is busy with cases, and the lowly position makes a long story short. Our troops live in the countryside, and we are not in a hurry to enter the camp. However, the hurriedly gathered troops still need to be tested, and there is no suitable place for practice in the village, so I beg the general to allocate it to the plateau. It takes a few days for a school yard."

Seeing that Yu Jin was so busy, Li Tai also said hastily.

"It turned out to be for this reason, and this is not a problem."

After hearing this, Yu Jin raised his head again, raised his pen to write out a written order, and sent it to a subordinate in the other seat on the case, and ordered: "Lao Liang Langzhong will work with Li Zheng to select the school ground later."

A burly man in the banquet stood up and clasped his fists. Seeing that his physique really didn't look like a civil servant, Li Tai felt aggrieved by the posture he was kneeling behind the desk before.

When Li Tai achieved his goal, he stood up and bowed to say goodbye. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Yu Jin and said, "When are you going to inspect the army, let someone come and tell you. You are quite good at managing affairs, and I am also curious about running the army." And how."

Li Tai couldn't help being flattered when he heard this, but he was under a lot of psychological pressure for a while. Yu Jin can be said to be the first-rate military strategist of this era. He wanted to come to watch the practice of his own trilogy, which was really stressful.

But he can't always persuade Yu Jin to take care of his own affairs and not to join in the fun, so he can only nod his head yes, and then leave the camp together with that Lang Langzhong.

"Governor Li, I have admired him for a long time. My younger brother was lucky enough to work with the governor's colleague in Taiwan. When a new man came back from Dongzhou, the voice of the governor has been heard like thunder."

After leaving the camp, the burly Lang Lang greeted Li Tai with fists and introduced himself.

After listening to Li Tai, he realized that this person was named Liang Xin, and his family belonged to the Jingzhao family. His brother Liang Rong was Li Tai's former Kaicao colleague Liang Canjun.However, from Li Tai's entry to his departure, Liang Canjun had been recuperating from his illness, but he hadn't met one of his colleagues, but instead met his elder brother first.

Li Tai walked out of the camp while exchanging pleasantries with Liang Xin, and listened to him explain the characteristics of various school grounds on the way. Some grounds are flat and suitable for cavalry galloping and clutching, and some terrains are changeable and suitable for rehearsing various complex formation changes. wait.

At this time, there is no shortage of troops in various school grounds to conduct drills. The so-called sharpening their guns in front of the battle is worthless. As long as they can perform well in the parade, they can get generous rewards, which is no less than winning a big battle.

Moreover, many state and county people rarely have the opportunity to perform martial arts, so naturally they must seize this rare opportunity and try to adjust their state to the best before the official start of the parade.

Therefore, even though there are not many people in Yuanshang camp at the moment, the school grounds are full of schedules. Li Tai also gave the green light because of Yu Jin's advice, and Liang Xin followed him around and took the trouble to adjust. Only then did Li Tai get one or two hours of rehearsal time in each of the several school grounds.

After the matter was settled, Li Tai did not leave in a hurry, but watched the rehearsal of the people and horses on the field outside the school field.

There are usually not too many people on these school grounds, only between one and two thousand people, and some are even less.The equipment is naturally not as fully armed as in combat. They are just dressed in military uniforms and equipped with simple knives and sticks, and conduct various drills under the command of flags and drums.

Among these rehearsals, no matter how big or small, there is always a small group that far outperforms others.

Needless to say, these people must be the direct descendants of the generals, with the best individual quality and cooperation experience. Whether it is offense or defense, they are the core of the team. They are all just to cooperate with the elite troops to complete combat missions.

Li Tai watched from the sidelines for a while and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Every era has its own tactical characteristics.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties have been in chaos for a long time, and the military, the most important weapon of the country, has been scattered in the hands of powerful military leaders for many years. The mainstream combat method is a small-scale elite decisive victory. The development of heavy armor and equipment is only to maintain and strengthen individual soldiers. Individual and a small number of elite combat capabilities.

As long as the team of the large army is not in a win-win situation, the bigger the battle is, the worse the loss will be.The Erzhu Rong regiment destroyed the rebel forces in the six towns of Hebei, Gao Huan defeated the Erzhu family coalition forces, and Yu Wentai defeated the Eastern Wei army in Shayuan.

Gao Huan and Yu Wentai, the old enemies, each have regrets on the battlefield. Apart from various other factors, it also lies in the experience of commanding large armies and the shortcomings of tactical matching. There are various deficiencies such as insufficient control.
