Chapter 2088: Red wolf

Sure enough, as expected by Su Bingwen and Song Yi, the court order passed to Liangzhou Army Town ten days later, and 3,000 troops were sent to the northwest to suppress the rebels.
In addition, the Liangzhou government was ordered to raise Qianshi grain and 22,000 silver for the army.
One stone equals one hundred pounds, and one thousand stones is one hundred thousand pounds of grain.
Sending troops and providing food also put Liangzhou into danger, and even a clean official like Su Bingwen couldn't help being dissatisfied with the court.
Moreover, the court stipulated that the army must set off within five days.
"Ziyu, do you say this soldier can't come out?"
In desperation, Su Bingwen could only talk to Song Ye.
"Nothing can't be done, after all, this is the order of the court!" Song Kun said.
"Then what should we do in Liangzhou City? In case of a brutal attack, what shall we use to resist!" Su Bingwen said.
Song Yong thought for a while and thought, "Only recruit recruits for training!"
I heard that Su Bingwen was distressed again. Recruiting recruits required payment of settling fees. A recruit had to pay at least two or two silvers for settling expenses. Furthermore, the purchase of weapons and armors also cost money. In addition, he also spent money on training .
If 3,000 recruits were called, it would cost almost 22,000 dollars.
Therefore, Su Bingwen is distressed about silver.
However, he knew that if Liangzhou had insufficient soldiers, it would be possible to be brutally exploited, so recruiting new soldiers was imperative.
So nodded and said, "Ziyu, how many recruits do you think should be recruited?"
"Ten ten thousand first!" Song Yong said calmly.
"Ten thousand? So much!"
Su Bingwen was shocked.
Song Yi said: "Military towns everywhere are eroded and there is no army at all. Now the court is sending troops around and it can be good to have 50,000 people. The rebels are expanding rapidly. We are close to the northwest. Once the rebels defeat the court, I am afraid that our Liangzhou city will suffer. By then, we will have barbarians in front, and then there will be rebels. If the soldiers and horses are not enough, they will either be attacked by the barbarians or the city will be broken by the rebels. You must expand the military! "
"Not so bad?" Su Bingwen's face was a little ugly.
"What is the status of our officialdom in defending the country? Adults should also have a certain understanding. Once the Northwest Uprising is successful, I am afraid that other places will also emerge, and chaos is approaching, and only military power is in hand, otherwise ...!"
Speaking of which, Song Yan stopped talking, he believed that even if Su Bingwen was stupid, he could understand the meaning of his words.
Looking down and thinking for a while.
Su Bingwen said: "Okay, then we will call a new army and call 15,000 directly, but we still have to ask Ziyu for this matter. The old man wrote and wrote the article, but he knew nothing about military affairs!"
"Please rest assured!"
Song Zheng nodded, he still admired Su Bingwen's point, and he didn't greed for power.
After receiving the draft order, Song Zheng invited Liu Cheng to ask him to quickly post the draft notice. The draft request is very simple. He can be between 16 and 30 years old. Once he is selected, he will have a settlement fee of two or two dollars per month. The military badge is five-money silver.
Not long after Liu Cheng went down, Wu Jingwei came.
"Sir, what do you do?"
Wu Jingwei was also extremely reluctant to this transfer.
Song Kun reminded: "This soldier must be sent out, but you can slow down on the road!"
The whole northwestern region has reached an extremely bad point. I am afraid that it will fall completely soon. As long as the speed is slower, it may not catch up with the war.
Wu Jingwei's eyes brightened and he saluted quickly: "Thank you for reminding me!"
Liangzhou is located on the border, with strong civil customs, but it is also poor. Therefore, as long as it is settled, there will be two or two silvers for the settlement fee, which is very attractive. Therefore, in just two days, 2,000 recruits were recruited.
At the same time, the three counties under Liangzhou also cooperated with the conscription.
Five days passed.
Liangzhou Prefecture recruited 7,600 recruits.
More than 3,800 people were called in the three counties, and the number of recruits exceeded 11,000.
Because Song Yan had specifically told him, the quality of these recruits was okay.
Also on this day.
Wu Jingwei set off with 3,000 soldiers and horses in the military town. After being reminded by Song Yong, he actually traveled only fifteen miles on the first day. After getting this news, Song Yong couldn't help crying and laughing, and arrived at his speed Northwest, I'm afraid it will wait for a month.
Staying in the town is a vice general promoted by Wu Jingwei, called Sha Tianchen.
Before leaving, Wu Jingwei specifically explained that he had to cooperate well with Song Yong.
Therefore, Shacheng's posture is very correct.
Three more days.
Fifteen thousand recruits were finally recruited, and there were five hundred more.
then.
Song Zheng directly asked Sha Tianchen to take them back to the military town for training. As for the armor of the weapons, they were intensified.
Pure iron armor can't be built, and at most it speeds up the iron goggles on the chest.
As for the weapon, a spear is the main weapon, because only the tip of the gun will use iron.
Even so, the weapon armor of 15,000 people would cost more than 30,000 yuan, and the conscription would cost another 320,000 yuan. Therefore, it had already cost 60,000 yuan before the army was formed.
To train these new troops into the army and launch troops, I am afraid it will cost another thirty thousand dollars.
Before copying Yuanjiabao, Song Yong brought back more than 500,000 kilograms of grain, which was taken away by Wu Jingwei, and there were about 400,000.
As for silver.
Excluding the expenses this time, there is at most 100,000.
For the 17,000 troops, the military battalions alone cost about 12,000 silver, and the grain consumed more than 20,000 kilograms a day, and the remaining 400,000 kilograms of grain could not be maintained even a month.
Therefore, it is necessary to take out silver to buy grain. One hundred and twenty kilograms of grain and four hundred thousand kilograms of grain can persist for more than two months.
Ten days have passed.
Wu Jingwei was still on the road with 3,000 troops, but the situation in the Northwest had reached a precarious situation, and only two cities remained.
But there are not many soldiers in these two cities.
One is only five thousand, one is only three thousand.
The army that the court mobilized from various places only came to 8,000 people, and the rest were either still on the road or had not yet set off.
Rather, the rebel army has reached 500,000 people.
Therefore, the 8,000 troops and horses mobilized by the court did not dare to enter the Northwest Territories at all, but were stationed abroad, waiting for the arrival of other soldiers and horses.
Three days later, the only two cities were broken by the rebels.
The army mobilized by the court barely reached 10,000 people.
But they still dare not attack the rebels.
Two days later, the last city in the northwest fell, which also declared that the entire northwest was under the control of the rebels.
There are three leaders of the rebel army, said to be three brothers.
Boss Xue Ping, second son Xue Cheng, third son Xue Shan.
After occupying the Northwest Province, some scholars who turned to them suggested that the three be the kings.
However, Xue Ping, the boss, directly ordered people to push the show off and chopped his head.
After learning the news.
Song Yan was somewhat interested in Xue Ping.
Regardless of the history of his world or the history of the previous world, once the peasant insurrection army developed rapidly in the early stage, but in the later period, many leaders were addicted to enjoyment, and even many who professed to be generals and kings.
However, such people usually die in the end, but Xue Ping can resist the temptation to seal the king, which shows that his soldiers are not only content to be an anti-king, but most of them want to take the whole patriotic nation.
"Sir, Xifeng County Emergency News!"
As Song Zheng browsed the information in Northwest China, a gangster rushed to report.
Song Zheng picked up the emergency report and opened it for a look. His face suddenly sank slightly. The three red wolves of the three barbarians took 8,000 people to attack Xifeng County two days ago.
Xifeng County is the only medium-sized county in Liangzhou. The county's county soldiers are only 500 people, while the Red Wolf has sent 8,000 people. Liangzhou Army Town has only 2,000 veterans, and the remaining recruits are still In training.
If you pull on the battlefield, you will have to be slaughtered against the cavalry of the Red Wolf.
With a little thought, Song Ye went to see Su Bingwen.
After learning this news, Su Bingwen's entire face was bitter.
"Ziyu, what should I do!"
Su Bingwen said anxiously.
"The 500 soldiers and horses in Xifeng County couldn't stop the attack of the Red Wolf clan, and it started two days ago. So, no accident, Xifeng County has been breached!"
Song Yan analyzed.
So Song Ye released the spies.
The spies returned that night, but they found out that West Wind City had not been breached.
"Just don't break! Just don't break!" Su Bingwen said happily.
"Not necessarily good!"
Song Yan shook his head.
"Why did Ziyu say that?" Su Bingwen looked at him puzzled.
"Although the red wolves are cavalry, do adults think it is difficult to break through the West Wind City?" Song Zheng asked Su Bingwen.
"Not difficult!"
Su Bingwen thought for a while.
Song Zheng replied: "Since it's not difficult why they didn't break the city, it's very simple. Their goal is the Liangzhou Army Town. As long as the West Wind City isn't broken, we have to send soldiers to reinforce them. Going up is not an opponent of the Red Wolf clan. Once the army of the town and town is destroyed, what will Liangzhou City use to resist them? Therefore, the target of the Red Wolf clan this time is not Xifeng County, but Liangzhou Prefecture! "
Su Bingwen took a breath of air: "What shall we do then? Not to reinforce Xifeng County?"
"If we don't go for reinforcements, Xifeng County will be undoubtedly broken!" Song Zheng said again.
"Ziyu, I've been confused by you. What should I do? Just say it!" Su Bingwen said helplessly.
"Sir, I am willing to lead a thousand veterans to relieve the plight of Xifeng County, and all the remaining soldiers and horses will be transferred to the Fucheng City.
"No, my husband disagrees! You are not going to make a siege, you are going to die!"
Su Bingwen loudly cried, one thousand infantry against eight thousand cavalry, the results need not be considered at all, so, in his opinion, Song Yan was simply to die.
Song Yan smiled confidently: "Sir, since Xiaguan dare to propose this method, I have confidence!"
"but……!"
Song Yong planned Su Bingwen's words: "Sir, is there any other way besides this way?"
"Ziyu, you are still young and have a bright future. The old man cannot let you take risks!" Su Bingwen still resolutely said.
