Vol 2 Chapter 536: letter

Jincheng County, Lingzhi.
This is not the county town of Jincheng County, but the terrain is flat and there are few mountains. It is suitable for training cavalry. At the same time, the land is relatively fertile. The Yellow River surrounds here and is also an important route of the Silk Road.
In addition, to the west is Xiping County, although it belongs to the Han land, but it is a place where Qiang people gather. Linqiang and Faqiang are all in this area. On the contrary, there are not many Han people here.
Zhao Yun will choose the branch to serve as his place to dispatch troops, and some people will be deterred from Qiang, and he will soon establish his own mind for the prestige of the northwest region.
After all, he was the general of Pingxi this time, and many people in the DPRK and China opposed it, because whether it is the experience of fighting against Qiang or its prestige in the Xiliang area, Ma Chao is undoubtedly more suitable than Zhao Yun, although Ma Chao is now General Wei, The identity is higher, but in fact, the military power is in the hands of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Although Ma Chao is a high official, he has little real power in his hands.
Many people think that Liu Bei arranged Zhao Yun to serve as General Pingxi this time, which was suspected of being a private abolition of the public. Although Zhao Yun was born in the Northland, he also joined Bai Sunyi from Gongsun Zan, but it was also an old Huang Li, and Zhao Yun was at Gongsun Zan Among the white horses who follow him, they are just ordinary teenagers, and the team rate is not like Liu Beihui's talent, Zhao Yun can not have the status as he is now.
And even so, although Zhao Yun has followed Liu Bei ’s southern battles in recent years, it is not as good as Liu Yi, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao, so this Xiliang military power should be handed over to Ma Chao That's right, not Zhao Yun.
Although Zhao Yun was not in the court, he could hear these opinions. After all, under Liu Bei's for so many years, Zhao Yun is also a loyal person, and naturally has his own network in the middle of the DPRK.
But Zhao Yun can't justify anything, because these are facts, regardless of prestige or experience, in this Qiang place, Zhao Yun blacked out his eyes, so Zhao Yun wants to make some achievements as soon as possible to make those people shut up.
"General!" Ma Dun came from outside the door and smiled at Zhao Yun. "The letter sent from Chang'an is a private letter."
Ma Deng invited her to come to Xiliang himself. In the previous battle of Guanzhong, Ma Deng was responsible for making plans or helping Zhuge Liang to deal with the government, but he was not satisfied. He also hoped to make achievements, but Guan Zhong has been down. In the short term, yes It is impossible to have another chance, so he asked to be transferred to Zhao Yunjun to help Zhao Yun as a soldier.
This decision is not blind. Ma Yun was with Zhao Yun. He knew that Zhao Yun was a man and knew Zhao Yun's ability. Although Zhao Yun was not as famous as Ma Chao, if he was capable, he might not be much worse than Ma Chao. , May not be able to break out some merit, let alone help oneself.
"At this time, someone wanted to question again in North Korea." Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled.
"It's a letter from Sikong." Ma Ma looked at it and smiled at Zhao Yun.
"Oh?" Zhao Yun heard the letter and he and Liu Yi hadn't seen it for a long time. I don't know why Liu Yi sent the letter this time, but what was the matter?
Bamboo slips went to the lacquer to unfold.

A wood carving fell from the unfolded bamboo slips. Zhao Yun's hands were quick, and he copied the wood carving in his hand. When he looked closely, it was a wood carving like a young man. The appearance is similar to Liu Yi, but it is more. Young, fourteen or five years old, his expression was indifferent, as if nothing in the world could make him wave.
Liu Yi's woodcarving is as vivid as a miniature version of a real person.
"Huh?" Ma Deng looked at the wood carving and whispered.
"You know this person?" Zhao Yun looked at Ma Duan and asked with a smile.
"Naturally, this is Liu Cheng, the son of Sikong. It should be twelve years old this year." Ma Dang nodded. He was quite familiar with the Liu family in Nanzhong. Although it has been separated for several years, for the small adult Liu Cheng, he Still able to recognize it.
"Twelve?" Zhao Yun was stunned. What did he look like, like a 14-year-old boy, and what did Liu Yi send his son's statue to do?
The eyes are on the bamboo slips. The bamboo slips do n’t have much content. First of all, they talk about old sons. Then they talk about their sons. Let Zhao Yun pay attention to the recent recruits. If they find Liu Cheng, do n’t agree. Just look at it, do n’t worry about what you train on weekdays, but if there is a war, please take care of Zhao Yun.
If Liu Cheng really came here, I hope Zhao Yun can reply, so that Liu Yi can feel at ease.
"How are the recruits recruited recently?" Zhao Yun didn't read the letter to Ma Duan. After all, the letter was private and it was not good for outsiders.
"Our army is now joining the army on its own. If there are more people in Shu, there are naturally many people willing to join the army, but in this cool place ..." Ma Deng said at the end, he shook his head. After all, it was still Wei Jing not long ago. The army will be somewhat repulsive, not just Qiang people, even the local Han people, it is not too strong for the Han army to belong to it. This requires step by step to implement benevolence, and it takes time to slowly let everyone accept the Han army. In this case, Recruitment of recruits is naturally not smooth, let alone to join the army autonomously.
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Now that the household registration has not been established, it can be reported to the counties. If you are interested in joining the army, you only need to have a biography from the three elders to join the army."
"Not very compliant." Ma Dun frowned, and the pass was equivalent to identification. It stated the time, nationality, name, and what to do. An official seal of at least county magistrate was required.
"It's not easy to recruit troops. Besides Xilin's protracted war, many Hans who were captured by the Huns or Qiangs as slaves can't be formally spread. Since the locals are not willing to apply, they can choose these people." Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled. Tao said that he brought only 8,000 Cao Jun to drop troops, and Liu Bei gave him an edict that allowed Zhao Yun to supplement the Xiliang Army to 20,000, and the court provided money and food, but the manpower problem needs Zhao Yun to solve it by himself and reduce the applicants The necessary conditions can also expand the range of conscription.
Ma Dun nodded. This is also a way to return the wood carving to Zhao Yun. Although he was curious why Liu Yi sent his son's wood carving to Zhao Yun, but since Zhao Yun didn't say it, he was not good to ask in detail.
The recruits are to be trained. The Han army has not only developed industry in recent years, but also made great progress in agriculture. Liu Yi also worked as a clerk in Changsha and Yueyang in Jingzhou. He once asked some old farmers to study fertilizer and farming. Going to the field experiment, on the basis of manure, we have studied a more perfect ratio, realized that Jingzhou and Yizhou have benefited from these years, and the food supply in the military is also very sufficient. Continuously shortening the cycle, up to now, is basically two days and one training, when recruits are training, or even two months of high-intensity training.
This is one of the reasons why the Han army can suppress the Wei army in the Guanzhong battlefield. The military equipment is already strong, not to mention that under high-intensity training, even if there is no actual combat experience, its individual strength is stronger than Wei Jun. Naturally It also formed the situation as before.
However, the conditions of Xiliang are definitely inferior to those in Jingzhou and Shuzhong. Grain and grass have to be transported from Shudi, and there is no rail car. The road is far away and the wear and tear is huge.
After the track is paved to Xiliang, and supplies are sufficient, you can consider strengthening the training density. Zhao Yun never saw him again after Liu Cheng grew up, but Zhao Yun still heard the name of the prodigy, the girl of the Liu family. Since I was a child, I have learned the martial arts with Lu Lingqi. I believe that Liu Cheng will not be too bad. Zhao Yun estimates that if Liu Cheng is really in the army, it should be easy to stand out during the training of recruits. The quiet arrangement, it depends on the boy's future performance.
His son followed Liu Yi out of the hall, and now he is in charge of the military around Nanyang. Zhao Yun is naturally grateful to Liu Yi. Now that Liu Yi ’s son may come here, Zhao Yun is also preparing to return some money, but At least you have to see someone first.
No one knows where Liu Cheng will go, maybe he will apply directly at the Blue Pool Camp, after all, there are many people joining the army ~ EbookFREE.me ~ easier to get in.
After finalizing the recruitment of recruits, Zhao Yun's attention returned to the current situation of Xiliang. Before that, he had burned and broken Qiang and gathered 100,000 troops to invade Longxi. As a result, Ma Chao cooperated with Zhang Ren's defeat and escaped. For a period of time, but wanted to hold them down completely, without Ma Chao ’s prestige, he had to show Ma Chao ’s means. For this, Zhao Yun still has confidence that he will not be worse than Ma Chao. Recently, he is actively preparing for war. Ready to find an early bird to pack up, first set his reputation.
According to Zhao Yun's understanding of this time, the Qiang people had certain similarities with the Beidi Hu people. They also believed in the concept of respecting the strong. For the strong, even the enemy would respect and even awe.
The biggest problem is still the Ma Yuan problem. Zhao Yun claimed that there are 5,000 cavalry, but in fact, among the 8,000 troops, it is really not enough to match the war horses, not even 300, let alone 5,000. Armament Liu Bei is adequate. Even crossbows, strong crossbows, strong bows, spears, sword shields, armor are equipped according to the standard of 20,000 people, as long as someone can equip them.
The problem is nobody.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it may not be easy after the beginning. For Zhao Yun today, the son of Liu Yi may come here to join the army. But it was intricate and complicated, and Zhao Yun ’s energy was soon re-engaged in these things. At the same time, the newly appointed Jincheng Taishou Huang Le was also born in Jingzhou, and he was quite capable. Gradually attached, the pressure on Zhao Yun's side was gradually reduced, and even Huang Le helped Zhao Yun get a batch of war horses sent back from the Western Regions. Although there were not many, Zhao Yun was finally able to form a cavalry until this time. Only then can we have the energy to manage the recruits.
