Northern Dynasties

Chapter 6 The Overlord is Difficult
The soldiers of the Western Army who stayed at Tongguan continued to withdraw their troops to the pass, and Li Tai and his entourage also followed.Although the number of people has more than doubled, it is still just an inconspicuous small team.

"Is this the predecessor of the soldiers who will unify the world and build empires in the future?"

The dirt road was full of dust, and the soldiers were all ragged and unkempt. There was an atmosphere of panic and despondency at the front and back of the team, as if there were more refugees wandering around than the army.

Although it was said to be a newly defeated army, what he saw in his eyes was still very different from the military appearance he imagined the Western Wei soldiers should have, and Li Tai couldn't help but be greatly disappointed.

Although it is said that in history, the Western Wei Dynasty's military organization was completed a few years later, between the [-]th and [-]th years of the Datong, marked by the arrival of the upper-level generals of the imperial army, such as the Eight Pillars Kingdom and the Twelve Generals, and so on. The failure of the Mangshan War was the biggest motivation for Yuwentai to build the Fubing system.

However, the formation of a military system and the building of a strong army cannot be achieved overnight. Only with a good foundation can there be a glorious future.

Of course, if you put aside the high expectations brought about by the prophets of history, the defeated army in front of you is still better than the general mob.

At least the basic formation can still be maintained. Although the soldiers are frustrated, they obey the military orders. Most of them are young and mature, and there is still a lot of room for rectification and growth.

Compared with the Eastern Wei army in the memory of the predecessor, the ratio of Hu and Han in the Western army is not too serious, basically half and half. After counting it carefully, the number of Han sergeants even faintly surpassed that of the Hu people, and the number of Hu people in the Hu army was significantly higher than that of the Hu people. There are other ethnic groups, and the proportion of Xianbei people in the team is even smaller.

This kind of clan ratio also has its origins. The source of the basic disk of Yuwen Taiba Mansion in the Western Wei Dynasty is extremely complicated.

The first to occupy the core position is the veteran army who followed Erzhu Tianguang and He Bayue into Guanzhong to suppress the rebellion, but these soldiers only had less than [-] soldiers, and they were divided into several parts.

Such as Erzhu Tianguang's Qihu warriors, Hou Mo Chenyue's Daidi armed forces, and the respective trilogy of Wuchuan tycoons such as He Bayue.The whole team gradually grew up by suppressing and reorganizing the rebels in Guanzhong at that time, and the Han people in Guanzhong, Di Qiang and other miscellaneous Hus joined in one after another.

Later, Erzhu Tianguang led the direct line of troops to Hanling, Hebei to join forces with Gao Huan, but failed, and He Bayue became the leader of the army staying behind in the pass.It wasn't until Gao Huan's divorce plan that the local tyrant Hou Mo Chenyue killed He Bayue, and Yu Wentai became the boss of Guanzhong.

After Yuwentai avenged He Bayue, Hou Mo Chenyue's general Li Bi jumped back in front of the battle and led some generations of armed forces to join Yuwentai's team.

The military strength of the Western Wei Dynasty was not completed until Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty fled to the west of Guanzhong because of Gao Huan's persecution and brought thousands of Luoyang imperial troops.

Compared with Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty who directly swindled hundreds of thousands of townspeople from the Erzhu family, the formation of military forces in the Western Wei Dynasty was much more tortuous.In addition to mergers and defections in various aspects, the biggest addition to the Western Wei army was the capture of prisoners from several wars with the Eastern Wei.

Specific to each battle, the Battle of Xiaoguan in the Western Wei Dynasty and the subsequent Battle of Shayuan successfully defeated the Eastern Wei's attack on Guanzhong.

Especially in the Battle of Shayuan, due to Gao Huan's improper command, the Eastern Wei army lost more than [-] troops and [-] armor and staff in the first battle.It was also because of this brilliant victory that the Western Wei Dynasty had the confidence to fight against the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Yu Wentai directly recruited a full [-] troops from the defeated army!

During the Battle of Shayuan, the Western Wei Dynasty also captured the Heluo area including Luoyang, which also became the incentive for the next big battle of Heqiao.

In order to establish the legitimacy of the regime of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yu Wentai took the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty to Luoyang to worship the sky and ancestors, while the generals Hou Jing and Gao Aocao of the Eastern Wei Dynasty took the opportunity to attack Luoyang.

This war should be the most evenly matched among the five wars between the East and West Wei.

The Western Wei defeated Yu Wei a year ago in the Battle of Shayuan, and the morale and strength of the troops were not at a disadvantage. However, the Eastern Wei only participated in the battle with some armed forces such as Hou Jing and Gao Aocao.

At the beginning of the Battle of Heqiao, although Yu Wentai was in danger because he underestimated the enemy and was rescued by the governor Li Mu, he was able to escape, but overall it started off smoothly.Li Tai's former idol, Gao Aocao, died in this war.

Just when the battle was in full swing, a sensational scene happened in the army of the Western Wei Dynasty.

At that time, there was heavy fog on the battlefield, Duguxin, Li Yuan's right army, Zhao Gui, and Yifeng's left army in the Western Wei Dynasty were disadvantaged in successive battles. At the same time, they lost contact with Yu Wentai, and they actually withdrew their troops and ran away!
Li Hu and others who led the rear army saw Dugu Xin, Zhao Gui and others retreating, so they also retreated together, leaving the boss on the battlefield.

So much so that when Yu Wentai escaped from the battlefield, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night. He had to sleep on the thigh of his godson, the powerful Han Cai You. It can be seen that this defeat and being abandoned by the generals brought him a great psychological shadow.

By the time Gao Huan learned of the situation on the front line and led his army to reinforce, the Western Wei army had already withdrawn to the west of Tongguan.

Although the Western Wei Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Heqiao, because everyone ran fast, basically except for the main character Yu Wentai who almost scared his soul, he did not suffer much loss.On the other hand, the Eastern Wei Dynasty lost the general Gao Aocao, so that some of the powerful Han people represented by Gao Aocao once had a separation from the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

After the Battle of Heqiao, the Western Wei Dynasty re-armed and successfully recaptured Luoyang.Then the two parties entered a rest period that lasted for several years. Yu Wentai also took the opportunity to reorganize the team, cleaned up some hidden dangers in the pass, and reorganized his subordinates into six armies, directly led by Daxingtai, and there was no war between them. .

Next, Gao Aocao's elder brother Gao Zhongmi surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty in the north of Yuzhou, especially Hulaoguan, an important town in Henan, and the east gate of Heluo, which triggered the current battle of Mangshan.

Regardless of the twists and turns of the war in Mangshan, the two countries basically mobilized their respective main forces.The results of the war also proved that, at least so far, the national power of the Western Wei Dynasty is still much inferior to that of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Li Tai came to this world at this time, and defected from the Eastern Wei to the Western Wei. Generally speaking, it is really stupid.

But from the perspective of the future, it also has the meaning of abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, because the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Mangshan prompted Yu Wentai to make a major decision, that is, to recruit Han Chinese tyrants into the team, and use the local soldiers and privates in Guanzhong to join the team. Qu Armed Forces supplemented the shortage of the army and set about establishing the Fubing system.

There is no doubt that during this period, as a Han, there were many more opportunities in the Western Wei Dynasty than in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

But if it is specific to the region, the window of opportunity for the Western Wei Dynasty this time is mainly open to the Guanlong Han tyrants who have their own tribes.

As a new villager attached to Dongzhou, Li Tai is still in an embarrassing situation. His chances of joining the future Guanlong Group and becoming its core member are still slim.

Therefore, when he wrote and played the book for several Hui, he also included his own private goods, and emphasized the stability of the development of the regime by recruiting Guanlong Han armed forces.

Such suggestions are certainly not instructive.Yuwentai's outstanding generation can withstand Gao Huan's strong pressure and establish a foundation in Guanzhong, and even be able to catch up from behind in the future. Of course, it is impossible not to see the importance of recruiting powerful Han people.

Such thoughts and ideas should have been formed in Yu Wentai's mind long ago, but the specific measures and steps are still uncertain, and the fiasco of Mangshan left him no room for hesitation.Even without Li Tai's proposal, this move would definitely be implemented soon.

Li Tai also didn't expect Yu Wentai to treat him with the utmost courtesy and regard him as a national scholar with a letter. The main purpose was to express that he agrees with the other party's thoughts: I and the leader are close soulmates, and I know everything you think of Thinking, you are too busy and I can help a little!

But he still underestimated the complexity of the personnel disputes within the Western Wei regime, or the scale was not precise enough, and still failed to achieve the expected results.

This is normal. Although he has some writing skills because of his occupation, and he is also forward-looking in history, he is not a native of this era after all.

What I faced before was veterans of the forum and spectators on the platform, but now I want to fight for the attention of a real hero in troubled times. The scale of force and the depth of the strategy are inevitably a bit uncontrollable.

However, seeing that Shuohui, as the core figure of the Guanzhong regime, is still willing to provide him with asylum, it can be seen that his advice may not be as expected, at least he has not violated any major taboos, and it is not a big problem to gain a foothold in Guanzhong.

Yu Wentai, you are lofty, you are great, you ignore me, I will go to Yang Jian, in the future, I will make a contribution to rectify the chaos and restore Hantong!If Yang Jian couldn't make it, he went to Li Hu to help my eldest brother educate his children and grandchildren.

Li Zhusheng came up again, handed him a bunch of bamboo slips and said in a low voice: "Ah Lang, the names of the dozens of foreigners have been recorded, and they also They are all willing to follow Alang."

Although the current Western Wei regime is weak and backward, it will not degenerate to the point of cutting bamboo and remembering things.However, the output of paper is generally not high, and it is not used as a flood of military supplies. Li Tai can't find paper and pen for the time being, so he can only use local bamboo to keep his notes.

Inscribed on the bamboo slips were the dozen or so soldiers of the Western Army who had newly joined the team. They were mistakenly arrested outside Tongguan as Li Tai's companions. Qu was locked up together.

When Li Tai picked up some Huifa to return the trilogy, these people returned it to him as his trilogy, and didn't bother to distinguish their original affiliation.

Although Li Tai has no experience in rebellion and entrepreneurship, he is also well versed in the principle of the supremacy of soldiers and horses in troubled times. Naturally, he would not reject this well-earned trilogy. Write down the names of these people.
