Chapter 221 Great Wall Army
At noon that day, Yi Feng held a banquet in the camp by the Raohe River, and invited several clan leaders of the Xi army, as well as the Khitan Dahe Duluo and other Hebian leaders, as well as the highest-ranking commanders of the military, that is, the clan leaders of various tribes of the originally tribes of the clan to come to the banquet. Although it was in the wild, the banquet was still very lively. There were a lot of white wine in the baggage camp of the Wuzhou army. These white wines with high degrees were in demand and had a great effect in the army. In the north
In this cold place, especially during wartime, it has a great effect on distributing white wine to the soldiers. It not only prevents cold, but also uses it to clean the wounds after the soldiers are injured, which can effectively reduce infections and other conditions. After the victory, the most deficient thing was horse meat. In addition, the chefs of the baggage camp also generously slaughtered cattle, sheep, camels and other animals from the seized animals, plus some nuts, pasta, etc., and an unexpectedly sumptuous banquet would be fine.
After the victory, there were good wine and dishes, so the banquet was naturally very lively.
Yi Feng raised his glass to announce three things at the beginning of the banquet, which made the atmosphere of the banquet extremely lively.
"This first glass of wine, I think we should first pay homage to all the brothers of the Clan. It was because of your defeat in front of the formation that we made great contributions to this battle. I wish all the patriarchs of the Clan, and after doing this glass of wine, the Clan will be friends of our Wuzhou Army, brothers!"
During the day, they squatted in the snow for a day, and drank the northwest wind for a day without any worries. In fact, the leaders of the Wu tribe who had been in trouble have been nervous since they came in. Although they turned against each other last night, who knew that this general from the Central Plains could let them go? At this time, Yi Feng's words were like the warm horse milk wine. This made these patriarchs excited and want to cry. It seems that although the Sui Dynasty general was young, he was very kind. No, let alone a glass of wine. Even a jar of wine would drink it all at once. A group of people couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and drank it all at once. However, when drinking, it was very generous and generous. However, the heat of the white wine immediately rose, which made many people cough and make a fool of themselves.
"Okay, the brothers of the genus are really generous, and I've done it too. From now on, we will be brothers." Yi Feng also drank, but he drank a glass of wine, which was mellow and delicious, not spicy and strong. Putting down the wine glass, Yi Feng laughed and said, "Let the baggage camp send tents to the genus brothers outside, and then pulling out the wine and meat to let the genus brothers celebrate together."
After a slowdown, Yi Feng filled the second glass of wine. He stood up again, and this time he directly raised the wine glass to He Duluo, the leader of the Khitan Hebian tribe.
Seeing this, Duluo stood up quickly. Although they suffered a small loss last night, they had gone south all the way south before. What's more, last night, they saw the strength of the Wuzhou army with their own eyes, and after all the five major tribes of the Xi tribe were following Yi Feng's leader, Duluo was even more awe of Yi Feng. Even at this time, he had confirmed that Yi Feng was Yuan Hao, the little boy who Xu Deyan brought from the Central Plains to their tribe. He was against the tribe.
Yuan Hao even had the kindness of raising and recreating, but he didn't dare to mention it at this time. Not to mention Yi Feng had already lost his memory due to injury, even if he didn't, he wouldn't mention those things again. Now Yi Feng is already the general in charge of the Great Sui Dynasty and the Duke of Changning County. He holds tens of thousands of elite troops in his hand. He also heard that he is the grandson of the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains. Such a figure of heaven, he is the leader of a small tribe of the foreign tribe, and is not of the same level at all.
"This second glass of wine is toast to the brothers of Duluo and the Khitans. After experiencing the barbaric oppression and invasion of the Turks last night, we killed the enemy side by side. This bloody friendship makes us brothers and allies. Come, after drinking this glass of wine, we will be brothers and sisters who share life and death, and will be allies forever."
Although Yi Feng did not mention the incident in the Khitan Hebian tribe when he was young, the words Yi Feng said still surprised Dahe Duluo. He had heard that Yi Feng's Wuzhou army and the Xi tribe had reached a joint security defense agreement. At this time, Yi Feng's words undoubtedly meant that the Wuzhou army would also reach such a joint security defense agreement with the Khitan, which made him feel too happy. After the Khitan tribes experienced the invasion of Gaoli at the beginning of the year, and after the Tielede East Loot in winter, two tribes among the top ten tribes were almost disabled, and large tribes such as Hebian were also seriously injured. Although Yi Feng had to rescue and escape, who knew when the next wave of revenge for Tieler will come. If you escape this time, can you escape the next time?
The Khitans had surrendered to the Xianbei in their early years, and later to Rouran, and later to the Turks, and finally to Goguryeo and the Great Sui. But he clearly remembered that when the Great Sui Dynasty was first established, the Khitans, which were bullied by various forces, immediately went south to ask for dependence on the Great Sui Dynasty. However, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty did not agree and handed them over to the Turkic Khan. The Turks took revenge and sent troops to attack the Khitan. At that time, a tribe of 7,000 people was directly slaughtered by the Turkic people. The Khitan tribes were also
They were all in a very miserable situation, and the Ancient Eight Tribes collapsed, and the Khitan tribes fled everywhere. In that catastrophe, the Khitans were beaten by the Turks and finally divided into three major parts, surrendering to the Turks, the Great Sui and the Goguryeo. It was not until more than ten years later that the Great Sui became stronger that the Khitans were able to return to the old land of the Ruoluo River with the secret support of the Sui Dynasty and form the ten Khitan tribes. This time, the Tielite invasion, was not good, and the Khitans might have to retreat to the dark period when the Ancient Eight Tribes were destroyed.
Now Yi Feng is willing to form an alliance with them and even provide protection. This is a great news for the frightened Khitans. The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty has taken up Middle Earth, but he once betrayed the Khitans. Although Yi Feng is just a general in charge, he can lead tens of thousands of people to rescue immediately this time, which makes Duluo pay more attention to Yi Feng's promise.
"I'll do it first." Duluo's face was flushed with excitement. Before Yi Feng raised his glass, he picked up the big bowl and drank it. He drank three big bowls in a row. He swayed a few times and almost got drunk on the spot. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and quick-handed, and immediately supported him. "Yi Shuai, I won't say much else. From now on, I Duluo and our Hebian tribe will only follow Yi Shuai's horse leader. No matter how you send someone, you will be able to say nothing."
Of course Yi Feng likes to hear these words, although he also knows that Duluo said this, but he is not really willing to be his maid in the future. This is prerequisite, and of course the prerequisite is that Yi Feng has always had such strong strength and can always provide protection for Duluo. If not, then Duluo's so-called leader is certainly just talking nonsense after drinking. This is exchange, interest exchange, although it is bought with conditions to surrender. But Yi Feng is already very satisfied. He does not believe in the loyalty for no reason, and this kind of exchange of interests is enough.
On the spot, Yi Feng had an in-depth talk with Duluo. Yi Feng expressed his willingness to continue to provide help to the Khitans. Of course, as long as the clan leader of the Khitan tribes is willing to accept this help and become an allies together. The words are stopped. There was not much talk at the banquet. But in fact, it was already very clear. The Khitans wanted to get Yi Feng's protection, and Yi Feng also wanted to form an alliance with the Khitans to fight against the Turks. Under this premise, Yi Feng of course hoped not only to form an alliance with one of the ten Khitan tribes, but to form an alliance with the ten Khitan tribes. And this requires Duluo, the most powerful clan leader of the Khitan, to come forward and contact.
Yi Feng's third cup of wine was to the Xi people, fighting side by side for everyone.
On the eleventh day after the banquet, Yi Feng and his three allies reached a dirt-sharing agreement.
On the eighth day of November, Yi Feng signed a four-party alliance with the Wuzhou army, Xi, Khitan and Wu. He agreed that the four families would form an alliance to advance and retreat together and defend security. According to the agreement, the four families formed an alliance armed force: the Great Wall Legion. This army is the Allied forces of the four families. The Allied Great Wall Legion has six armies, namely the tribal army of the three tribes, the Kumo Xi army, the Khitan army, the Baishi army and the Wuzhou army. However, the Huaihuang army formed three armies, namely the Huaihuang army, the Yuyi army, and the Chengde
Army. The Wuzhou Army now has four infantry battalions, three cavalry battalions, two chariot battalions, and one mixed teaching battalion and a baggage battalion. In addition to the eleven reorganized battalions, the number of soldiers is as high as 40,000. There are too many battalions under the army, and some are swollen. The total number of garrison troops left by Huaihuang is about 20,000, and so many people are enough to form three armies. Although Yi Feng will not set up multiple armies in Huaihuang immediately, now it can list three armies at this time.
With six armies of the Allied Great Wall Legion, Huaihuang occupied three armies, which was enough to overwhelm the other three clans in its momentum, making Yi Feng, the leader of the alliance firmly in the main position.
The Kumo Xi army was organized into five regiments with 15,000 troops. However, this time, Su Zhi and several Xi leaders were also very proud and proposed to Yi Feng to expand their troops. They wanted to expand into two armies, but Yi Feng rejected them. They wanted to add five regiments based on the first army and the fifth regiment. However, Yi Feng still decided. It is not suitable for the Xi people to raise so many troops, and it is impossible to become a professional standing army after being organized. However, Su Zhi and others wanted to organize more troops. In their words, they could ask Yi Feng to help them train one army first, and then they could form another army.
First, only a set of airs and train some officers. As for the soldiers, they gathered in wartime and went back to their own houses in daily life. They did not waste any money or food. In this way, if they encountered Tielite people, they could gather quickly and have troops available. This statement made Yi Feng agree a little, and finally agreed to Su Zhi and others, and the Xi tribe formed another army, but that army had only a reserve army, and the Wuzhou army helped them train officers, but the Allied Army only listed Kumoxi's army. If there was a war, fight the reserve army again.
With the beginning of the Xi tribe, the Khitan Duluo and others naturally followed suit.
After the banquet that day, Duluo immediately sent people to contact the leaders of various Khitan tribes, and soon the leaders of various Khitan tribes rushed to see Yi Feng. With Duluo, Yi Feng and the Khitan tribes quickly reached an agreement, just like the Xi tribe. Duluo and other Khitan leaders also asked Yi Feng to train troops for the Khitan, and even proposed to use cattle, horse, leather, herbs, etc. to buy armor and equipment from the Wuzhou army. Yi Feng agreed with these requirements. Huaihuang was originally engaged in arms trading, as long as the most sophisticated weapons and armor were not sold. These arms were not given for nothing, and they had to exchange the best war horses, cattle, horse, camel, mule, donkey and sheep, as well as fur herbs, ore, and even population. Everyone got what they needed.
The Khitans also wanted to form two armies, but they still asked the Wuzhou army to help them train new army and also train officers. However, according to the Xi people's model, Yi Feng finally made the five strongest divisions of the Khitan tribes each form a battalion, each of which was one army. The other relatively weak divisions, such as the two tribes that were almost destroyed, were only formed with a reserve battalion each.
The same is true for the sacred tribe, one army and another reserve army.
Of course. Even so, their army cannot be really a regular army. The main army just hopes to equip at least one-third of the troops and horses as armored cavalry, and does not expect to be as well-equipped as the Wuzhou Army. It will become a full-time professional soldier.
After splitting apart, there are not many soldiers trained by each division. For example, the five Xi tribes, each division has only one battalion of soldiers. According to one third of them, it is only one thousand armored soldiers. For example, the Khitan tribes have ten armies. On average, one division has only one armies with only five hundred armored cavalry. Of course, in addition to the main army and one reserve army of each tribe, the clan leader of all tribes also retains his own private armed forces. The large tribe may have a group of guard soldiers, and the smaller tribes also have one or a team. In addition to these private soldiers, even if necessary, according to the customs of these tribes, the whole nation can also be soldiered.
According to the alliance, the private guards of the tribe patriarchs were not included in the Allied Army, but the six main armies were directly under the Allied Army. Yi Feng was the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army. Once the alliance encountered revenge from the Tiel people or invasion of the Turks or Goguryeo, Yi Feng would be responsible for commanding and mobilizing the Allied Army to confront them. Of course, the internal struggles of all parties are not within the interference of the Allied Army.
In short, for Yi Feng, the biggest advantage of the establishment of this alliance was that he had brought all the companies on one ship, and he obtained nominal command of the Allied Army. Of course, in fact, it depends on the actual situation. Another advantage is that after the alliance, the trade and trading relationship between Huaihuang and the three companies went further and reached many transaction agreements. The first batch of transaction agreements was that Huaihuang trained three new troops for the three companies and sold them armor.
Yi Feng was the leader of the alliance, Suzhi of the Xi tribe, Dahe Duluo of the Khitan Hebian tribe, and Shali of the Wu tribe, became the deputy leader. Wei Zheng was the counselor, Xu Deyan joined the army as the record officer, and many tribe leaders also served as the heads of the army, battalion general, regiment commander, etc.
On the surface, the framework of the alliance was established, and there was also a direct Great Wall Legion, with a total of six armies, as many as thirty battalions, and an army of 100,000 at the time of full corps. Of course, this is just depicted on paper, and the specificity depends on the reality. But with such a covenant and such a agreement, many relationships have been brought into contact with Huaihuang and the three tribes and all parties.
After the alliance was reached, Yi Feng took out the spoils he had harvested and divided them into dirty parts. The armor and weapons, war horses, prisoners, etc. seized in the Battle of Shehechuan and the Battle of Raolehe were divided together. However, it was not evenly divided. The strength and performance of the Wuzhou Army were finally divided into war horses and prisoners, and all the war horses and prisoners were all Yi Feng. All the seized weapons, armor and equipment were divided equally by the remaining three families. Such division was of course not fair, so according to the efforts and performance, the Xi clan received more gold and silver, while the Khitan and the Wu were compensated for some livestock.
The Wuzhou army naturally had the most harvest. In the Battle of Shehechuan, the Wuzhou army finally captured more than 3,000 Tongluo prisoners, and in the Battle of Raolehe, they also captured more than 7,000 prisoners of Pugu and Bayegu. In addition, Huaihuang obtained as many as 10,000 young prisoners of war. In addition, there were more than 60,000 war horses, as well as tens of thousands of cattle, horses, and camels. In addition, there were scattered items such as tents, gold, silver, and sheep, but most of them were packaged and given to the three tribes, and the rest were sold directly to them.
There was no objection to Yi Feng's big head and that he occupied almost 70% of the spoils, whether it was the Xi tribe, the Khitan or the Jun people. This time, the Tiele people invaded, and the three tribes could not resist it, and they were beaten in a mess. It was Yi Feng who led the Huaihuang army to the north and defeated the Tiele people. Although Yi Feng seemed to win easily, this did not mean that it was really like this. The easier Yi Feng won, the more powerful it showed the Huaihuang army. Not to mention that Yi Feng finally gave them so many Tiele people weapons and armor and other spoils, they didn't even have any point to say.
What the three tribes care more about is to immediately select suitable soldiers and then ask the Wuzhou Army to help with training. After being beaten up by the Tiel people and seeing the strength of the Wuzhou Army, they no longer have any confidence and sense of security for the tribal warriors of the original tribe. They fight not only with courage, but also with excellent armor, sharp weapons, good training and excellent command. They are all lacking in these, so they can only ask the Wuzhou Army to help.
Yi Feng had no problem with this, but Yi Feng finally made a request to the Khitan and the Mu people, that is, to recruit a group of new soldiers among the two tribes as before. However, what made the two tribes relieved was that Yi Feng did not ask for the recruitment of elite soldiers, but instead asked only recruit young tribes who had just grown up. Moreover, for each person recruitment, Yi Feng not only paid the new recruits a family fee, but also paid a gift to his original tribe. The family fee was 5,000 yuan per person, and the same amount of gifts. Although this money was not much in Yi Feng's eyes, the Khitan and the Mu people quickly agreed happily. After Yi Feng paid a price of 60,000 yuan, he finally recruited a total of 6,000 new recruits from the Khitan and the Mu people.
