Peach Fortune Ring

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

"Your Excellency should have a certain understanding of the official situation in our Wei country. Once the Northwest Uprising succeeds, other places will probably rise up one after another. Troubled times are approaching. Only the military power is in hand, otherwise...!"

At this point, Song Yan shut up, he believed that no matter how stupid Su Bingwen was, he could still understand the meaning of his words.

He bowed his head and pondered for a while.

Su Bingwen said: "Okay, then we will recruit a new army, directly recruit [-], but for this matter, I have to ask Ziyu, the old man can write articles, but he knows nothing about military affairs!"

"Please don't worry, adults!"

Song Yan nodded, he still appreciates Su Bingwen's point, and he is not greedy for power.

After getting the conscription order, Song Yan recruited Liu Cheng to ask him to quickly post the conscription notice. The conscription requirements are very simple. Anyone can be between 16 and 30 years old. For five denarii.

Not long after Liu Cheng went down, Wu Jingwei came.

"My lord, what should the general do?"

Wu Jingwei was also extremely reluctant for this transfer.

Song Yan reminded: "This soldier must be dispatched, but you can slow down on the way!"

The entire territory of the Northwest has reached an extremely bad state, and I am afraid it will not be long before it will completely fall. As long as the speed is slower, it may not be able to catch up with the war.

Wu Jingwei's eyes lit up, and he quickly saluted, "Thank you for reminding me, sir!"

Liangzhou is located on the border, and its people are tough, but they are also poor. Therefore, as long as they are selected, they will have a settling allowance of two taels of silver, which is very attractive. Therefore, in just two days, two thousand recruits were recruited.

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

Five days passed in a blink of an eye.

Seven thousand six hundred recruits were recruited in Liangzhou Prefecture.

More than 800 people were recruited from the three counties, and the number of recruits exceeded 1000.

Because Song Yan specifically told them, the quality of this batch of recruits is not bad.

Also on this day.

Wu Jingwei set off with [-] soldiers and horses from the military town. After receiving Song Yan's reminder, he actually only traveled fifteen miles on the first day. When he got the news, Song Yan couldn't help crying and laughing. He arrived at his speed. Northwest, I'm afraid it will be a month later.

The person staying in the army town was a lieutenant named Sha Tianchen promoted by Wu Jingwei.

Before leaving, Wu Jingwei specifically explained that he must cooperate with Song Yan well.

Therefore, Shacheng's posture is very upright.

Three more days.

Fifteen thousand recruits were finally recruited, and there were 500 more.

then.

Song Yan directly asked Sha Tianchen to take them back to the military town for training. As for the weapons and armors, they were being intensively built.

It is impossible to build pure iron armor, at most an iron breastplate can be built on the chest.

As for the weapons, spears are the main ones, because only the tip of the spear uses iron.

Even so, the weapons and armor of 5000 people cost more than 3 taels of silver, and the conscription cost another 3 taels. Therefore, 6 taels were spent before the army was formed.

To train these new troops into an army and pay the army, I am afraid that 3 taels of silver will be spent.

Before copying Yuanjiabao, Song Yan brought back more than 50 catties of grain, and Wu Jingwei took away 40 catties, and there were still about [-] catties.

As for silver.

Excluding the expenses this time, there are at most 10 taels left.

For a 1-strong army, the military pay alone costs about 2 taels of silver, and the food consumes more than 40 catties a day, and the remaining [-] catties of grain cannot last for even a month.

Therefore, money has to be spent to buy grain, and 10 jin of grain and 40 jin of grain can last for more than two months at most.

Another ten days passed.

Wu Jingwei was still dawdling on the road with an army of [-], but the situation in the northwest had reached a precarious situation, and only two cities were left standing firm.

But there are not many soldiers and horses in these two cities.

One is only five thousand, and the other is only three thousand.

As for the army mobilized by the imperial court from all over the country, only 8000 people came, and the rest were either still on the way or hadn't set off yet.

However, the rebel army has reached 50 people.

Therefore, the eight thousand soldiers and horses mobilized by the imperial court did not dare to enter the northwest territory at all, but stationed outside, waiting for the arrival of other soldiers and horses.

Three days later, one of the only two cities was captured by the rebel army.

The army mobilized by the court barely reached 1 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, it is said that they are three brothers.

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

After occupying the Northwest Province, a scholar who took refuge in them suggested that the three be crowned kings.

But Xue Ping, who is the boss, directly ordered someone to push the scholar out and have his head chopped off.

After getting the news.

However, Song Yan became somewhat interested in this Xue Ping.

Regardless of the history of his world or the history of the previous world, once the peasant uprising army developed rapidly in the early stage, but in the later stage, many leaders were addicted to enjoyment, and many even proclaimed themselves generals and kings.

But this kind of people would usually be defeated and killed in the end, but Xue Ping was able to resist the temptation to become a king, which showed that his soldiers were not only satisfied with being an anti-king, but most likely wanted to take over the entire Weiguo.

"My lord, urgent report from Xifeng County!"

While Song Yan was browsing the information on the Northwest, a yamen servant came to report in a hurry.

Song Yan picked up the urgent report and opened it, his face sank slightly. The red wolf tribe of the three major barbarian tribes had sent 8000 people to attack Xifeng County two days ago.
