"Qin Meng, Ben Khan gives you a face. Today, I will spare that Daluobi (Apo Khan). You tell him, in this life, it is best not to step into the grassland, otherwise, it will be his end."

When I said this in the photo, I felt sour in my heart.

In just two years, the Turks, who once sat and watched the Northern Central Plains beat me and I beat you, grabbed countless benefits from the Northern Central Plains infighting, were helpless to the Central Plains people who stepped on their doorsteps.

Photographs have thought about the reasons for this. The catastrophes on the grasslands in the past two years are a very important reason, but it is even more undeniable that the Central Plains, or the Sui Dynasty, has undergone a radical change.

Could it be that Zeng Xiong dominates the grassland. Is the Turkic, which overlooks the central plains of the North, heading for decline

I didn't dare to think about it, but the fear in my heart that seemed to be on the edge of a cliff was lingering.

Qin Meng nodded: "Well, this general will transfer the words of Dahan to Apo Khan. Now that Dahan is here. I beg you to send a letter to Gao Baoning. Whether he goes south to the Central Plains, he will hide himself. Regardless of the place, or whoever you want to take refuge in, from heaven to earth, from the ends of the earth to the corners of the earth, Da Sui will smash his corpse into thousands of pieces to relieve this hatred."

The face of the photo changed drastically, and he wanted to refute Qin Meng, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

"Qin Meng, you rode a war horse, but when Luo Yan was twelve years old, Ben Khan gave her a birthday gift. Luo Yan once told Ben Khan that he would invite you to the grassland. Ha ha. I wonder if you will not Will you be invited to take a trip to Ben Khan?"

The photo changed the topic very cleverly, and said a little ridiculously.

Qin Meng laughed and said, "Shabo sweats a little bit. This general and his flying knights are the fighting force of the Great Northern Sui prairie. Moreover, this general is a prairie nightmare. Once the general enters, he will encounter natural disasters in the prairie. It's different. So, it's better to meet in the grassland. If you can go to Daxing (Suidu) for a narration, it's not impossible."

After listening to the photo, he laughed up to the sky. He raised his horse whip and said hello to Qin Meng. He dialed his horse back to the team, greeted him, led his heavy ride, and rolled back to his army queue.

After a while, the Turkic army retreated in an orderly manner, and Russia disappeared.

Qin Meng waited for the army to walk away and ordered Wei Liang's team to be on guard. He led Xie Yunweida and the team he led to the rear team Yang Guang and returned to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin spread his hands together, saying that he was watching the situation with the army. As for the specific marching arrangements, he still had to follow the leading generals.

Qin Meng asked Yang Guang's first team to firmly protect Yang Lin's safety, and he led the fourth team to squeeze Apo in the middle, so that he did not dare to move back to Wuwei all the way.

After negotiation, Abo Part 1 was taken away by Yuan Zhou's imperial commissioner who once again went out of Beijing to patrol the north, and brought him back to Daxing to meet with Yang Jian, and the court arranged a way out for him.

According to the original plan, Yang Lin should leave Wuwei and patrol the soldiers and horses in Youzhou area, but he did not leave for a long time, so he stopped in Wuwei.

Another month passed, at the beginning of July, Yang Lin called Qin Meng and Yang Guang to his side.

After the ceremony, Yang Lin asked the two to sit down. Asked: "You two, do you know why this king has been staying in Wuwei?"

Qin Meng said cautiously: "Master Supervisor, but because I saw the flying cavalry stun the Turkic forces with my own eyes, I have the intention of major military adjustments?"

Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's just a major adjustment. If you don't adjust, it's... it won't work."

Speaking of this, Yang Lin sighed: "The three soldiers and horses in the northern border have consumed nearly half of the tax revenue of the court and tied up a large number of males. It is unbearable for the country and the people."

Qin Meng nodded unconsciously: "The supervising army's concern is that the country must be solid to govern and the people need to recuperate before they can be happy to work. Although the military is the foundation of the country, it consumes too much national power and cannot be ignored."

Yang Lindao; "Since the second year of the Emperor's reign, due to the Turkic offensive, I have been hoarding soldiers and horses in the northern border of the Sui Dynasty. There are nearly 800,000 people. The Jiangzuo incident has not yet moved, but it has dragged the court into exhaustion. . So in another two years, Da Sui... ahem... ”

Qin Meng glanced at Yang Guang, and the two of them were almost connected, and stood up to salute Yang Lin.

Yang Guangdao: "Master Supervisor must have been arguing, but he has a destiny, and he will do his best in the end!"

Qin Meng said sharply: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The commander of the army supervises the order, and the general will die!"

Yang Lin waved his hand and motioned the two to sit down: "Although the prison army did not go to Beijing to report on their duties last year, they have always been in correspondence with the saints to prepare for the Northern Territory. It has been very effective to dissociate the Turks, and there is no need to keep so many people on the northern frontier."

Qin Meng thought for a while and asked, "Master Jianjun, how many people are you going to leave behind?"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "This is also the question that the supervising army called you to come over today and want to discuss."

Qin Meng was stunned: "The supervising army, the last two generals, but they are only partial generals. For such a major military situation, you must contact the commanders of all parties. Ask them..."

Under Yang Lin Zhuozhuo's gaze, Qin Meng swallowed his words.

Yang Lin looked at Qin Meng and Yang Guang, and said in deep thought: "The Turkic crisis is no longer a force fight, but an active defense. Qin Meng, you think that the supervising army is staying in Wuwei, are you looking at the scenery? There are not many soldiers. When you are fine, you will not be courageous but planning. Feiqi, if this supervising army does not personally evaluate it, dare to give advice to the sage?"

After that, Yang Lin sighed: “Adjusting the soldiers and horses in the northern border is related to the fortune of the country. The key point is how many soldiers and horses are left in order to ensure that the northern border of the Sui Dynasty is safe! Otherwise, it will bring heavy losses to the country. It's hard for the army to die!"

After being silent for a while, Yang Lin went on to say: "Qin Meng, you have already said that the military fortress, attacking the Turks with mobile force, is the key to reducing the accumulation of soldiers and horses in the northern border! And, you have proved with actual actions, This idea is not groundless! Hmph, in the eyes of the supervising army, only those who can use it are qualified to speak! Don't talk to the supervising army about the qualifications, what the supervising army wants is real talents!"

Although Qin Meng and Yang Guang are here to discuss matters, he is not worried about being beaten for making mistakes, but under the awe-inspiring spirit of the old man Yang Lin, he can only lower his head and listen to the old man's lesson.

"Say! How many soldiers and horses are appropriate to keep in the North?"

Qin Meng calculated for a long time, looking up at Yang Lin and said, "Master of the Returning Guard Army, two hundred thousand, that's enough. One hundred thousand ranks on the front line of Youzhou, one hundred thousand, along Jinning. Dunhuang stayed behind. Set up six thousand flying horses, divided into two divisions. , For mobile support. No matter where there is an enemy situation, as long as you see the beacon, you can set off in one day, and you can go to the place where the enemy situation occurs within five days at the latest to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

Yang Lin stared at Qin Meng for a long while. Turning his head to Yang Guang and asked, "What about you?"

Yang Guang arched his hands and said: "The final will think like General Qin, so I can protect the northern border of the Sui Dynasty from harm!"

Yang Lin listened, his face was extremely solemn, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "What you see, this Supervisory Army will carefully consider. How many people to stay, in addition to discussing with the sage, but also to listen to the opinions of the commanders of all parties. . It’s just that Feiqi needs to be expanded, and it must fall on both of you."

Without waiting for Qin Meng and Yang Guang to speak, Yang Lin shouted: "Qin Meng and Yang Guang, with you and two, form a team of ten thousand flying knights, no mistake."

what? Ten thousand? Qin Meng and Yang Guang were stunned by Yang Lin's great handwriting.

This is not a matter of randomness, just put together people and horses improvised.

Horses, fighters, equipment, supplies, training, officers, all of which require the highest standards.

Equipment supplies, you can also burn money to solve, war horses, fighters, officers, all of which need training and training.

"This is a bit different from the style of the two of you? You two do things when you don't want to do it. Let's talk about it when everything is done? Why, are there any concerns?"

Qin Meng thought for a moment, knelt to the ground, and said, "Supervisor, it is not the end of the general's concern, but the formation of ten thousand flying knights. The requirements are too harsh."

Yang Lin waved his hand to get Qin Meng up. Sit down and talk.

Qin Meng organized his own thoughts and said, "Master Supervisor, Rong Mo will come one by one. The formation of the flying cavalry seems to be a collection of elite soldiers, but in reality it requires huge logistics supplies. Equipment requires special production. The horses need to be professionally reared, they need to be quickly dispatched to protect the flying riders, special rations are needed, and professional personnel are also required. Therefore, the number of related supporting personnel produced by various kinds of them is no less than 5,000."

Yang Lin frowned and nodded at Qin Meng, motioning him to continue.

Qin Mengdao: "Flying warriors, in order to ensure that the fighting power of long distances is not reduced. Their age must also be strictly restricted, and they must be eighteen and up, and less than 30. The most terrible ones are the basic-level flying officers. Not only is it required to be good at riding and shooting, but also experienced in leading soldiers, but also to adapt to the continuous trek test. Therefore, the age cannot exceed 35 years old.

Having said this, Qin Meng glanced at Yang Lin's expression and found that the old man did not look too exaggerated, so he continued.

"Flying cavalry is not only a warrior who needs a war horse. To ensure the distance of the attack, the horses need to be fed and acted with the flying cavalry. If the calculation is based on a six-hundred-mile attack, the two flying cavalry fighters need to be equipped with a war horse to guarantee the supply. In other words, to form 10,000 flying knights, at least 15,000 horses are needed."

Yang Lin listened patiently to Qin Meng's explanations one by one. In the end, he calculated silently in his heart and sighed for a long while: "If you do this calculation, the cost of 10,000 flying knights can be worth one hundred thousand military expenses."

Qin Meng nodded seriously. The army was originally a money-burning business. The formation of a contemporary army that was almost like a dimensionality reduction strike was like a black hole. Throwing a lot of silver in, you couldn't even hear it.

"Ten thousand is ten thousand!" The old man Yang Lin was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "The formation of ten thousand flying cavalry requires one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, but it can mobilize a large number of manpower to protect Da Sui Bei. The environment is peaceful. This money will be squandered. Qin Meng, you and Yang Guang are responsible for the formation of ten thousand flying horses. Whether it is for people, money, or materials, as long as the supervising army can do it Yes, you have to speak. But there is the same thing, you must do this thing well. If it fails, huh, before the army appoints you to thank you, you must be divided into five horses!" (End of this chapter) )
