Ding Liang was so furious that he really wanted to eat Qin Meng. Just this black quotient would not be overkill.
However, after venting a lot of anger, Ding Liang decided to have a good discussion with the black heart. How can the brotherhood be still there? Don't make trouble because of the interests.
Qin Meng made a concession. As for the war horse, it is not necessary, but five hundred elite soldiers must be transferred. After using it for a while, not only will it return, but it will also spare fifty crossbows in vain.
Ding Liang was so blocked that he had no choice but to agree to this condition.
Qin Meng is now full of calculations, and there are more than 6,000 frontline soldiers who can directly take out to fight. This number is more than enough to defend the main city of Wuwei.
However, Wuwei County is not the only main city. There are vast areas in the surrounding area that belong to this county, and most of the people live in the affiliated areas.
As a military chief, you can move to the top by defending the strategic location of the main city.
But what about the people around? Turkic people came over, but they could grab everything and couldn't attack the main city. Naturally, he would go to places with people nearby, and all his belongings, people and animals would be wiped out. Qin Meng couldn't just sit back and watch.
Regardless of whether he is acting as the county guard or not, Qin Meng feels that protecting Li Shu's safety is also within his scope of responsibility.
When this plump ideal meets the reality of the incomparable backbone, you will find that the ideal requires an extremely powerful military base to be realized.
It is relatively easy for Qin Meng to keep the main city of Wuwei County.
But to protect the stability of all areas under Wuwei's jurisdiction, a very strong armed force is necessary.
otherwise. To the Turkic cavalry who is going up and down like the wind, if you don't beat him into doubting life, he will always have the mentality of biting sick ducks and will harass you endlessly.
The Jianzi Second Battalion Qin Meng had on hand, including those expanded after Wuwei, was only more than 2,500. These elite soldiers would be no problem for defeating the enemy from the front.
But in order to ensure the tranquility of the entire Wuwei Realm, there is a clear gap in numbers.
This is why Qin Meng borrowed elite soldiers from Ding Liang and did not hesitate to pay a huge price for it.
After sending away a few Luo Fang, Qin Meng returned to his camp and began to calculate the strength of the troops on hand with his fingers, as well as the many problems currently facing Wuwei County.
Six hundred thousand catties of grain have slowly been hoarded, and various daily productions have been slowly organized and restored by Guan Xiang and other civilian officials.
What caused Qin Meng's headache more was the current war.
Yang Jianfa's three-way army all performed well and achieved fruitful results, but the problem is that the Turkic people came to grab things and didn't have much burden.
And the army on the side of the Sui, after defeating the Turks, had to take care of their own people.
Like Qin Meng, there are many examples of defensive generals and local management.
On the one hand, it is necessary to prevent the Turkic people from coming back, and on the other hand, to resume production. Although it is not as bloody as a real sword, it is too energy-intensive, and it is so hard to kill people to vent the depression.
According to his own situation, Qin Meng gave the blacksmith team the task indicators of three hundred consecutive crossbows and six hundred sabers.
With the thirty thousand taels of silver allocated by Luo Fang, Qin Meng can arbitrarily implement incentive measures, allowing the craftsmen of the blacksmith team to desperately build much-needed weapons.
Wuwei is slowly getting on the right track, but Qin Meng is getting more and more nervous.
Because the autumn of this year has come unexpectedly.
For the Turkic people, autumn means that they are about to retreat.
This year, the Turks were in the northern border of the Sui Dynasty. However, they suffered a lot of losses and gained very little. For those who experienced the snow disaster last year, there was not much looting. This winter will be a very difficult winter.
Qin Meng could conclude that during the period from autumn to snowfall, the Turks would definitely launch a crazy counterattack.
On the Eastern Route, Youzhou was too far away from Qin Meng, and it was not within Qin Meng's consideration.
But on the western front, as long as the Turkic people make big moves, Wuwei, as a former Turkish fortress in the northern border of the Great Sui Dynasty, will inevitably lead to the baptism of war.
Liannu, the war knife, under the almost frantic reward mechanism, were all delivered to use.
Qin Meng asked Guanxiang several civilian officials, headed by Guanxiang, to organize temporary exercises during wartime, so that when the Turkic people really came, how to minimize the loss of the common people.
In order to allow Guan Xiang to have arbitrary coercive power for these literary faculty, Qin Meng will remove the city defense forces of Jianziying. Assigned to Guan Xiang commander.
Qin Meng vacated his hands and combined his two thousand five hundred Jianzi officers and soldiers, together with the five hundred elite soldiers borrowed from Ding Liang, to form an absolutely intrepid mixed combat organizational team.
The cavalry led by Xie Yun has risen to six hundred. With the new sword, its combat capability is only three hundred cavalry, which is more than doubled.
Because among the six hundred cavalry, there are also a hundred of the best cavalry, equipped with continuous crossbows, they all carry three crossbow boxes, when they charge, they can attack with continuous crossbow first, and then slash with a knife.
As infantry soldiers die well, Qin Meng's distribution can be described as a painstaking effort.
Zhou Lie is the highest officer of the Jian Zuo camp and has three combat divisions under his jurisdiction.
First, Gong Hui, an infantry officer borrowed from Ding Liang, led all the tribes and attacked them with arrows. Two hundred of them rushed forward with the continuous crossbow, and the remaining three hundred, after carrying the bow and arrow rest, formed a sporadic long-range attack.
Second, there are 800 people under Wei Da, with ten Mo Swordsmen, and the rest with spears, who are strong soldiers on the left wing.
Third, Wei Liang, who was withdrawn from Zheng Lun, was equipped with the same configuration as Wei Da, and he was a strong right winger.
Based on this basic team, Qin Meng used all the tribes he had created and pulled out for a large amount of training exercises. Continuously improve the tactical tactics he envisioned.
The weather gradually cooled down, and Qin Meng received more and more battle reports.
The Turkic Shabolu tribe harassed the front line of Honghua Jinning, and the main city of Honghua Jinning stood firm, but the surrounding people were looted again.
At Luohou Department, they attacked Yanchuan Lingwu with a big intention. The two defenders kept sending urgent documents to Luo Fang and asked for assistance.
Near Wuwei, Turkic people have also appeared one after another, but these seem to be the rangers of small Turkic tribes. They did not approach Wuwei. Instead, they showed off in places where people could see them, and immediately retreated.
Luo Fang wrote a handwritten book to Qin Meng's office to introduce the tight fighting situation in various places, and asked Qin Meng's office how to prepare for the battle, if possible. Can you send troops to the east to support Jinning
Qin Meng took Luo Fang's letter and fell into contemplation.
Defender Jin Ning is General Xue Liang, Qin Meng's old boss. Although the two have not been in contact for a long time, Xue Liang's performance on the front-line flanks of Jiming Mountain last year can be regarded as brave.
Whether it is due to the consideration of the old superiors. It is still personal emotional identification, Qin Meng should send troops to support it.
However, Qin Meng would inevitably fall into a dilemma if he sent troops.
Sending less troops is like a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the problem at all.
If there are too many troops, what should I do if Wuwei encounters a war? Don't worry about the main city being broken. But the people around them are unlucky. Without sufficient troops, who would dare to go out of the city to fight against the Turks who plundered the people? Do you want the main city
Qin Meng hesitated, so he called all the officers to himself and discussed it.
After hearing Marshal Luo Fang’s meaning, Xie Yun said: "Sir, although Marshal does not have a direct order, but he already has this meaning, I might as well send troops to support Jinning. The humble position will lead the headquarters to quickly fight Jinning, and then return. With Zhou Liejian's death camp here, I think that the Turkic people will come back in despair."
Zhou Lie echoed: "Yes, General, the commander, even if it is a hint, it is not good if you don't execute it? Xie Yun is right. There are low-ranking and healthy soldiers. Are you afraid that Turkic people will commit crimes?"
Qin Meng frowned and said in deep thought: "Xie Yunjian rode the camp and ran for a long distance, and he would return after one hit. This general is not worried about the safety of the camp. The key point is that Wuwei is still invincible, which does not mean that there must be no enemy. Jianqi camp is long-distance. There is still a battle to be fought after a trek. If you come back, you will definitely be exhausted.
Qi Yuan said to the side: "General, the humble duty knows what you mean. Jianqi camp is rushing for a long distance. When there is war in Wuwei, it will affect the mobility of Wuwei's defense forces. However, there must be an explanation from the commander. If you don't send troops. , Even if the commander does not blame it, generals elsewhere will inevitably have criticisms."
Qin Meng sighed: "Yes, I take more supplies than others, and I take care of it daily, but when I need to send troops, I hesitate. If I were a good commander, I would definitely be dissatisfied."
Everyone fell into silence all of a sudden, and the highest officer was so hesitant, let alone the officers below.
Wei Liang patted his thigh and said: "If you are resistant to Turks, you will bully the weak. If you come to our Wuwei, you will have to beat him to the ground."
Wei Da glared: "Children speak no matter. This is all the old people who have experienced battles. It's your turn to speak? Who doesn't know that it would be easy for Turkic people to come home? But Turkic people listen to you? Give up the good fight Jin Ning to come to Wuwei to die here?"
Qin Meng's eyes brightened when he heard it, and he waved his hand to signal Wei Da not to speak.
Everyone's eyes were all staring at Qin Meng.
After a while, Qin Meng suddenly laughed and said: "There is a way, Wei Liang said, wake me up. In this way, Qi Yuan immediately collects the favored goods of the Turkic people, and leads a thousand paces west to Jinning. When approaching the Turkic people, they immediately turned around and ran back. Along the way, they scattered their wealth. When the Turkic people saw the wealth, they would follow them."
Qi Yuan was a little surprised: "General, what do you mean, is it to use money to bring Turkic people to Wuwei? You can think about it, Turkic people see money, but it is like a fly to blood, really like you It is said that the people who are lured by money are not a few Turkic people."
Qin Meng said with a cold expression: "This general hopes that the more Turkic people will come, the better. We guard one of Wuwei and what we eat, don't you know what you can think of? We don't talk about the importance of protecting our homes and the country. The truth is, even if you are in the nursing home, if you have such a good treatment, you should practice, so that the owner feels that it is worth spending so much money?" (End of this chapter)
