?In mid-June, the war between Zhou and Chen countries in Yingzhou, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, just ended, and the war in the northern part of the country revived. The Turkic tribes that had been silent on the grassland for a year, led by Shaboluo Khan, launched a large-scale southward attack on the Sui Kingdom.＞

The daughter of Shaboluo Khan, Ke Dun, was the daughter of Yuwen Zhao, the daughter of Zhou State Zhao. The daughter of Princess Yuwen Zhao, married Tuo Bo Khan two years ago. Ke Dun is now the wife of the new Khan according to customs. Her younger brother Yuwen Gankeng is now the emperor of Zhou State in Yecheng.

Last June, the Turkic army also launched a large-scale southward movement, but Turkic leaders died of illness and were busy fighting for the position of Khan. They immediately withdrew their troops. After a dispute, Turkic Khan's nephew Ashina photographed the photo of Ashina, the new Khan, was elected as the new Khan, Shaboluo Khan. The Khan married the former Khan's wife, Ke Dun, as a relative of Zhou, as a custom, so this year he would continue to "aggress" his father-in-law.

Like last year, the Zhou court in Yecheng also sent large troops to attack the prefectures south of the Yellow River. Yuchi Dun, the general manager of the Zhou State, led his army to cross the Yellow River again to attack the Luozhou General Office of the Sui State. Sima Xiaonan, the general manager of Bozhou, led his troops to attack the Yuzhou General Office of the Sui State to serve as the support of Yuchi Dun.

As the major station of the southeastern road of Zhou State, Yuwen Liang also sent his troops to the north from Anzhou, Jingzhou eastward and Yuchi Dun, Sima Xiaomeng attacked Luozhou, Yuzhou General Administration of Yuzhou General Administration of Qingzhou General Administration of Qingzhou General Administration of Xuzhou General Administration of Xipiluo, and attacked Hezhou General Administration of Wuzhou General Administration of Wuzhou General Administration of Sui State. From south of the Yellow River to the Jianghuai area, the war in the Central Plains broke out again.

War is a good time for military generals to make achievements, but this has nothing to do with Yu Wenwen, the governor of Bazhou, who is in the rising period. Now he is talking about war on paper in Xiyang City on the Yangtze River.

"Sima Xiaonan turned out to be fleeing to Yecheng." Yuwen Wen looked at the map and said, when the war began last June, the young emperor's father-in-law Sima Xiaonan was searched by Yang Jian, who was regent, on the grounds of conspiring to rebel, while the royal family Yuwen Chun family was eliminated on the charge of treason. However, Sima Xiaonan disappeared at the time and his daughter, the queen Sima Lingji of the young emperor Yuwen Chan, was also deposed as a commoner.

Sima Xiaonan and Yang Jian had a special relationship because he and Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong were sworn brothers. Sima Xiaonan was originally a minister of Northern Qi and the son-in-law of Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan, and fled to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to avoid disaster. At that time, Yang Zhong was the one who responded to him. After the two became sworn brothers, Yang Jian, the son of Yang Zhong, treated Sima Xiaonan as his uncle.

So at the beginning, Yuwen Wen thought that Sima Xiaonan was arrested by Yang Jian and put him under house arrest and claimed that he was missing. But now, he saw that this person was very good at running away. In history, Sima Xiaonan was in charge of the general manager of An (Yun) Prefecture and failed to fight against Yang and fled to Chen State.

"Do you think the court will succeed this time?"

The generals of the Hulin Army who participated in the paper talk were all the generals of the Hulin Army. They looked at the map and whispered all kinds of opinions. Most of the opinions were that the Sui Kingdom was about to be over because there was a Turkic army in the north and the south. The imperial army attacked from north to south. As the saying goes, they were attacked by the enemy from both sides and the other side.

"In my opinion, all the prefectures and counties east of Yang Nihulao Pass will be taken down by the court!"

After the Sui State land was released from Hulao Pass, it was Yuzhou, Hezhou, and Wuzhou General Administration was considered a line to the southeast. If the imperial army could capture the Yuzhou General Administration this time, then the Wuzhou General Administration would be isolated from Guanzhong and have no help sooner or later.

"The Sui army would not be so stupid to watch Yuzhou throw it away, so it is natural to send a large army out of customs. The battle will take several months to decide the outcome."

"Mobilize the army? What should I do if the Turks in the north? The Turkic Khan is coming in full force!"

"Well, the Sui army will stick to the important roads everywhere and spend a few months with them, and the other party will retreat."

In short, the situation for Zhou State was not small but big. Most of the generals present believed that Sui State would be beaten and bleeding this time. All the territory east of Hulao Pass was played and then they were attacked by the Turks and were seriously injured. If they fought again next year, the imperial army would be able to recover Chang'an.

"The opinion of this official." Yuwen Wen began to pour cold water on, "The Turks are not a problem, and the war east of Hulao Pass is cautiously optimistic."

Seeing everyone's face full of surprise, he began to explain why "Turkish are not a problem" first told a story:

During the reign of Emperor Wu, some ministers said, "The Turkic army was evil, the titles were light, and the leaders were too numerous to command, so what is difficult to control? Just because the comparison made people say that they were strong and wanted to make the country generous, they would go and get their rewards more. The court was subject to false words, and the soldiers were afraid of the wind. But the enemy was deceitful and healthy, but it was easy to deal with it. Now, the ministers looked at it, and everyone could be killed before and after.'

"Do you know who said this?"

Who knew who said this? Except for Yang Ji and Shi Wansui, everyone shook their heads. Yuwen Wen then solved the answer: This was what Yang Zhong, the father of Emperor Sui, said, "He was the father of Emperor Wu of Sui. He led 10,000 troops to join with Turkic soldiers to attack Qi. After returning, he said the above words to Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"Can't the Turks look fierce and actually have no ability?" someone asked. Yang Ji then explained that the Turks are not weak, but it is indeed a waste of time to regard the other party as unstoppable.

"The Turks are nothing more than a large number of horse bandits." Shi Wansui suddenly spoke. He had known about the Turks for many years. Four years ago, when Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong was preparing to fight against the Turks, he also went to the expedition with the army, so he was quite interested in the Turks.

He deeply agreed with the words that Yuwen Wen quoted just now. In his opinion, the Turks were a huge horse bandit. All leaders (tribes) recommended a great boss (Khan) to fight the house (siege) together to rob the house (siege) and rely on the number of horses to come and go like the wind, but they would never bite the tough ones.

It is okay to fight a good fight, but people's hearts may not be the same if they want to fight a bad fight. Everyone wants to eat meat, but they will break their teeth if they bite hard bones. If their own troops suffer too many casualties, they will only be annexed by other troops. Therefore, if they go south to fight Caogu, they will be active if they encounter tough battles within the Turkic Turks.

Back then, Zhou and Qi, the tug-of-war between the two countries made the Turks have a great opportunity to make the Turks' envoys go all out. The envoys who were on missions were also very proud of their ability to show that they had gone through a lot of hardships to get the court to give more treatment. In addition, the Turkish cavalry occasionally attacked the border and made everyone spread rumors, and finally the Turkic army was unstoppable.

Do the Turks have the strength? Yes! Can they beat them? Yes!

As long as the army is sufficient, Shi Longsui will not take any Turkic Khan seriously. Who is afraid of cavalry and war?

After hearing Shi Wansui's argument that the Turks were large horse bandits, the generals were skeptical. They were all from Jiangnan, but they could imagine the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry chasing and fighting on the vast grasslands. However, everyone knows that Shi Wansui once became a general and had martial arts skills. It's okay to say it.

Yuwen Wen knew about Shi Wansui's "great achievements" in fighting against the Turks in history, so he would not think that he was bragging. He first nodded and affirmed Shi Wansui's judgment and then pointed out a weakness of the Turkic army: each unit has ulterior motives.

It is what I said before that only fights the wind and you will shrink when you encounter a tough battle. Everyone follows Khan to come south to make money, not to make a living. While conquering cities and land, they also guard against each other to avoid their tribe being weakened and then annexed by others.

"So if the Sui State sent eloquent and eloquent people familiar with the internal affairs of the Turkic army to provoke discord... hehe... this Turkic army is like that." Yuwen Wen was confident.

That's of course. Yang Jian has a level of ace in his hands to deal with the Turks!

Of course, Chen Wudi and others did not believe that Sui State had such a person, but now everyone is talking about it on paper. Since the commander's view is that the Turks cannot play a decisive role in the Sui State, it seems that this war can only be made in the east of Hulao Pass.

"Okay, the current situation has ended here." Yuwen Wen asked someone to remove the map in front of him and replace it with a new map. "I can't participate in the north, but it's different here!"

"Everyone is studying hard, it's time to open it!"

Of course, it is necessary to open. Yuwen Wen raised so many soldiers but didn't want to waste anything. If he didn't need a knife, he would be dull. If he didn't need a knife, he would not need to be aborted. So he kept looking for a "copy". The military strength of Bazhou has now exceeded the limit that the state can support, so he has to use war to support soldiers.

There are two types of soldiers: full-time combat soldiers and prefecture soldiers. As for recruiting soldiers, it is absolutely necessary to inject water. Yuwen Wen will not use them. Now the forces in Bazhou are as follows:

Full-time combat soldiers: The Hulin Army has a force of 5,000 troops, and is ready to fight regardless of the slack farming and busy farming. Of course, at this time, the land that the soldiers have shared does not need to be taken care of by themselves.

Farming and fighting: Bazhou prefectures and county soldiers, and they practice in their spare time when they go to the farming world. The battle is commanded by the prefecture Sima Yang Ji, and the two infantry soldiers are under the command of the two infantry army. One army is the prefecture soldiers and the other army is the village soldiers. When the people are not recruited, the number is about 2,000, with the main responsibility of defending Bazhou.

Fishing and fighting combination: Bazhou naval army, fishing and training, commanded by the governor Yuwen Wen, the commander of the second army, was about 2,000. Both were the former Xiangyang naval army absorbed the old Bazhou naval army, and the fishermen were reorganized, and they participated in the war when war was needed.

This is the total number of troops in Bazhou, which is more than 9,000 people, all of them are supported by the output of Bazhou. Now, Bazhou has accepted the people of Wuchang County and has more than 20,000 households. Based on the half-degree number of households in the state, it is about three households to support one soldier.

Three households draw one rank, five households draw two rank, and seven households draw three ranks to draw three ranks. In this era, countries can limit the recruitment of soldiers to the people during wars. By the same token, the burden of raising one rank in Bazhou is so heavy that it can be called a military force.

This is all thanks to the ambitious Bazhou governor Yuwen Wen, so in order to repent, he decided to use practical actions to reduce the burden on the people of Bazhou. Therefore, he had to find a way to "open", and to fight, he would naturally inevitably fight wildly, so his sword was the Hulin Army.

The Hulin Army has been expanding its army and participating in the battle against Yingzhou, Chen State in the south, so its organization and general positions have changed: Chen Wudi was promoted to the commander of the four armies under the command of the commander of the army, among which the three armies of the infantry commanded a large square formation, consisting of three square formation soldiers and one melee soldiers, totaling more than 3,600 troops, and Shi Wansui, the commander of the cavalry, had nearly 1,000 troops under the command of three cavalry.

The combat method of the Hulin Army's 5,000 troops was still the long spear formation. The main purpose was to switch to the flexible mandarin duck formation. The proportion of soldiers equipped with bows and crossbows exceeded 60%, and the armor rate exceeded 80%. Of course, Yuwen Wen spent a lot of money to reach this level.

The fifth brother of the commander of the army was in charge of the four armies, the seventeen armies, the three armies of the infantry, the twelve armies, the one armies of the horse army, the three armies of the three armies, and the two logistics buildings of the baggage and logistics, the state soldiers were assisted.

This is the field force in Yuwen Wen's hands that is already his limit on raising troops. The daily consumption of people eating horses will immediately consume all the money and food that the Xiyang County Duke Mansion has just been paid. If the capital chain is accidentally broken one day, then he will really have to plunder or eat human flesh to overcome the difficulties.
