The happy life of the devil and the devil

Beiliang's military system is different from Yu Xia's.Even in Beiliang, the military systems of the armies inside and outside the pass are quite different.

If this were Yu Xia, the 20 army was led around by the enemy, and the main force of the enemy army went straight to Yujia's place. Even if the commander-in-chief could come back alive, he would definitely be dismissed and sent to prison without discussion.

If you are lucky, you will be dismissed from office and exiled for the crime of humiliating your teacher and humiliating the country;This will implicate at least half of the high-ranking generals in the army, as well as countless high-ranking officials in the court.The emperor's anger cannot be dispelled by cutting off three or five heads and replacing ten or eight positions.

Even if the battle is not defeated, when Ling Yucheng was in charge of the northern border, and the 30 troops bowed their heads and obeyed orders, didn't they just take it if they took it, or put them on death row if they said they were on death row?

This level of control was something that the Emperor of Beiliang could not do even if he flattered him.The former head of the state, Namyan, was defeated at Jianmen Pass, and the [-] army was wiped out. Although Yuan Shao dismissed him and sent him to prison, he had to be released in a few months--when things calmed down, he had to be appeased by an official position .To this day, Namyan is still considered a first-class senior official in the court.

What made Yuan Shao even more annoyed was that even if he dismissed Namyan, the new General Huben would still have to choose from members of his clan!

There will be such a huge difference because the armies of the two countries are fundamentally different.

Yu Xia's army was conscripted by military households. From the moment they joined the army, they wore military jackets issued by the state, ate military pay issued by the state, rode horses allocated by the state, and carried weapons and guns allocated by the state. If you die in battle, your own treasury allocates money and food to support your family.And what about Beiliang?

Except for a few professional soldiers who are supported by the state, most soldiers still maintain the habit of serving the people in peacetime and serving as soldiers in wartime.Fighting together—whether it’s fighting against foreign enemies or going to other countries to fight grass valleys—everyone pulls out their armor and mounts, gathers together as a unit of family and tribe, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and in an instant, a team of [-] Hundreds of thousands of troops.If you win, share things together, if you lose... there is nothing to say if you lose.

This way of forming an army, besides the children of the same clan, how can a random person be able to command it by airborne?

With his status as an emperor, and even more so with his direct control over the territory and taxation, Yuan Shao can basically control the several armies directly under the royal family-these armies were originally supported by the royal family.Armies like the Habayashi Guard and the Huben Guard, which are mainly composed of members of the same clan, have to give the patriarch some face.

Yuan Shao borrowed the wind from Namyan's defeat to take back Hubenwei's military power by a small margin.As for Habayashi Wei, he raised Ge Shuye from a young age.

Therefore, even if Yuan Shao said, "How can I trust Ying Yangwei to you", he still couldn't make sex immediately.At least, he couldn't simply and rudely take the title of General Yingyang off King Xi's head...

Fortunately, after more than ten years of being the emperor, what Yuan Shao lacked most was means.Looking around for a week, he saw that the calves of the generals standing behind King Xi were trembling, and he sighed again sincerely:

"It's the first time to be on your own, and it's such a big battle, so it's no wonder you were at a loss. Let me tell you, it can't all be blamed on you-look at your subordinates, the old ones rely on the old to sell the old, and the young ones are inexperienced. If you can't help you well, how can you support yourself no matter how strong you are?"

He took a few steps in the tent, glanced at Feixiongwei and Baotaowei, and casually ordered a few people to come out: "Xi Wang is young and inexperienced in military affairs. So, from now on, you will transfer Join Yingyangwei, help King Xi for a few more years, and let him go after he gets familiar with it."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely assist the prince with all our heart!" Among the people he pointed out, the oldest one was the concubine brother of the former King Xi. The daughter was once sent to the palace, and Yuan Shao was stopped once because of her daughter.At this moment, he raised his head to answer, half-bent, his temples were gray, and his face was full of joy:

"Never fail to live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"You are King Xi's uncle, and your affection is different from other people's." Yuan Shao nodded, and his voice became more warm: "Take good care of your nephew, don't let your dead brother feel uneasy in the ground, you know?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not disgrace my life!"

After the placement of this group of people, Yuan Shao casually ordered a few commanders to come out, all of whom were over 40 years old, and ordered them to relinquish their military positions and go back to retire.Because this battle was really useless, it was difficult for King Xi to protect himself, and he was not qualified to intercede for his subordinates.Fortunately, even if these people resign, they will be passed on to their nephews, which is just convenient for him to show favor and promote a group of useful young people...

"By the way, I see that you have quite a few good young talents under your command. It just so happens that the Beijing Zhongwu Academy has been completed, so let them go to Beijing to study for a few years. Don't worry, there are quite a few guards from the Xi clan around me. Over the past few years, Wen Tao Wu Lue has also been honed out, and if you keep them, you don't have to worry about no one being available for a while."

Your Majesty, you are under a lot of pressure to be courtiers like this...

After getting enough benefits from the Xi clan, Yuan Shao finally embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

When it came, it was bustling with nearly ten thousand horses; when it went, it was mighty and mighty, with tens of thousands of people.Coupled with the horses, cattle and sheep brought back, they followed behind Yujia, and dragged out a team that was tens of miles long.

According to the rules in Beiliang, whoever sends troops will get the spoils; whoever has the most military exploits will get the most.First, the emperor has the right to pick first, and secondly, the general who made the first contribution in this battle has the right to pick first.Next, the teams will be divided according to the number of troops sent and the size of their combat achievements...

In the battle with the Northern Man, Yuan Shao sent out a total of 200 soldiers and horses.Xuanjia guards had eight hundred guards, Habayashi guards three thousand, and Tiance guards added up to a thousand.Because Xuanjiawei left [-] people to command the defense of the imperial camp, Yuan Shao sent another [-] soldiers from Jinwuwei to make up [-] soldiers for him.

In contrast, the three guards under King Xi only made up a total of [-] soldiers and horses.It's not that they don't want to spend more, one is that all the subordinates who can afford it have followed King Xi, and the other is that no matter what, they must keep the people who protect the imperial camp.

The ratio of five to three, this battle was directed by Ling Yucheng, Beiman Khan was killed by him, and even the golden wolf banner fell into his hands, no matter how unconscionable he is, he cannot deny his first contribution.Therefore, it is conceivable how much Xi Wang's subordinates can get.

Yuan Shao graciously returned all the Xi people who had plundered the northern barbarians into the army.Of course, the property belonging to the herdsmen, such as the worthless broken bowls and ladles, the torn tents, and the hard and smelly blankets that have been sleeping for so many years, were all distributed to these poor people who were captured inside.What?You mean the private property of the noble lord?I'm sorry I didn't see those gold and silver treasures...

That's right, the soldier who just walked past had a golden object just fall out of his arms.However, the soldiers already had enough hard work climbing the ice and laying on the snow, and when they smashed through the barbarian king's tent, they took something with them. As the emperor, I may not order them to hand it over, right?The rules of our Great Liang have always been whoever grabs it.

Dingkou, cattle and sheep, horses, these really valuable things, Yuan Shao unceremoniously swallowed three-quarters of them.Although the remaining quarter...is still not so plump, the remaining quarter after being selected...was distributed to the three thousand soldiers under King Xi, which was already rich enough to make them smile, but it was far from enough to compensate O king's loss!

The two pastures, which were [-] miles long and [-] miles wide, were assigned to the royal family as a pasture directly under the royal family to raise military horses. King Xi finally got Yuan Shao's nod and sent food outside the pass to help the people.It's not that he doesn't want to spend money to buy food, but that as King Xi, he can't go beyond every little patriarch below to help all the people, and the people affected by the disaster may not have the money or livestock to buy life-saving rations...

War is really the most profitable business in the world, Yuan Shao thought with satisfaction.While thinking about it, he couldn't help but look sideways at Ling Yucheng: Of course, the premise of being profitable is that you have to win, and it is a big victory with less investment and more gains!

Getting Ling Yucheng by his side was really the most rewarding decision in his life.Absolutely none!

Speaking of which, his biggest gain this time out of customs is actually Ling Yucheng... Although I don't know why, but Ling Yucheng changed his previous attitude and acquiesced and even responded to his closeness, which is really a pleasant surprise.

Thinking about it, his eyes could not help but fall on Ling Yucheng's right hand which was writing.He was concentrating on writing something, and lines of elegant handwriting flowed out from his pen, filling a whole page in a short while.The gauze on his right palm has been removed, so the injuries on his body should be healed...

The accidental interruption that night, could it be... eh?

As soon as my heart became hot, my breathing became chaotic.Ling Yucheng raised his head immediately, and glanced at him quickly - the moment his eyes met, Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat.

The flickering candlelight added two bright colors to the deep and clear eyes, as if the bright sunlight reflected in the deep pool, sparkling with waves.At this moment, the look in his eyes seems to be just a normal look, but also seems to contain a thousand words, making people want to pursue and explore involuntarily.

He has always known how focused Ling Yucheng is at work.But such a focused person would be startled by his breathing disorder, stop writing and raise his eyes to look at each other...

"What are you writing?" Looking at each other, Yuan Shao got up and turned around the table, looking down from Ling Yucheng's shoulder.There are several sheets of writing paper with wet ink on them, some of them are full of writing, while others are just a few scattered.Yuan Shao supported Ling Yucheng with one hand and leaned forward, so he could see clearly.

"The minister is reviewing the gains and losses of this battle... Marching in the snow field is different from traveling with His Majesty, especially marching lightly. After all, there are some things that I have not thought of..."

His slender fingers picked up a piece of paper, pointed to the vertical and horizontal writing on it, and explained each one in detail.The fingertips moved briskly, paused, and flew up. Yuan Shao's eyes followed the short, well-manicured nails. For some reason, he felt that a little ink on the fingertips was particularly annoying.

He caught the index finger by accident, pulled it to his eyes, and rubbed it vigorously.

The author has something to say: Xiao Ling: Your Majesty, don't you worry about problems with the three armies of the Xi clan if you change people like this?

Yuan Shao: Anyway, you have achieved ten years of stability in northern Xinjiang, and I just took the opportunity to change people... What are you thinking?

Xiaoling: I'm sorry, but when you said "Northern Xinjiang", I always felt that I was in charge of the Northern Xinjiang camp. This direction is not right!
