Just when Yunfeng was making witty remarks and making all the beauties at the table laugh, Zhang Lingyun came to Zhang Shi's study.

"I've met Ah Weng~!" Zhang Lingyun saluted.

Zhang Shi waved his hand: "Hey, Lingyun, my father has told you many times that there will be no need for many etiquettes at home in the future." He shook his head and asked: "What was the result of going to Yunfeng's tent today? Have you ever arrived?

Can he match Zhao Zilong?"

Zhang Lingyun nodded solemnly and recounted every scene from reviewing the troops to the martial arts competition exactly as it was. Of course, the part where Yun Feng was frivolous would not be mentioned.

As Zhang Lingyun spoke, Zhang Shi's expression kept changing, but he did not interrupt. Until he finally finished speaking, Zhang Shi remained silent for a long time, going back and forth several times, and then said in a deep voice: "Ling Yun said in a deep voice.

Is there any way to test whether this person is loyal?"

Zhang Lingyun thought for a while and said: "It's hard to imagine at the moment, but my daughter will choose the opportunity to go to his home and get to know his lovely wife. It's easier for the women to talk to each other. I think I can always find out some clues."

Zhang Shi said thoughtfully, "That's a good idea. In two months' time, when the wheat is ready in Longyou, you, Lingyun, will lead your troops to grab wheat. This will help you get to know this person better."

Suddenly, Zhang Lingyun's face showed a hint of excitement, but then he remembered something and said hesitantly: "But my uncle has been suppressing my little daughter. Since my little daughter returned to Liangzhou, he has never let me go out to lead the army in battle. He only

I’m afraid that my uncle will cause trouble this time too!”

"It doesn't matter~!" Zhang Shi said with a slightly angry look on his face: "As a father, I have to break it up with him. Besides, grabbing wheat is not a great achievement. Is it possible that we have to stop him?"

With Zhang Shi's support, Zhang Lingyun felt relieved. It had always been her wish to lead the army in battle. She was so happy that she bowed and said: "In that case, Aweng will make the decision."

"Lingyun, don't worry, no matter how father you are, you are still the lord of Liangzhou!"

In the following conversation, the father and daughter no longer mentioned Yunfeng, but only exchanged some views on the current situation.

.......

Early the next morning, Yunfeng took a few personal guards to Zhang Lingyun's place to order. When he arrived at the door, he told them to wait outside and walked in alone.

In addition to Zhang Lingyun, who is sitting high in the seat, there are two other people in the room, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the right is about thirty years old, with a dark complexion and a tall and strong body. The one sitting on the left is older, in his forties, and from the appearance

He seems to be a more stable person.

Yunfeng nodded to them, then saluted Zhang Lingyun and said, "I have never met the general before."

"Yun is in the future, I will introduce you to you." Zhang Lingyun stood up and walked down. First, she pointed at the person on the left: "This is Yang Xuan, the owner of the building under my seat." Then he told Yunfeng's origins and so on.

After being introduced to this man, they did not mention a word about his military appearance or martial arts. The two greeted each other politely. Next was the man on the right, named Li Bai, who was also the building owner under Zhang Lingyun.

.

When the two of them saw that Yun Feng was fair and fair, and looked so young, they unconsciously spoke with the tone of an elder instructing a younger one, looking very old-fashioned. However, Yang Xian was a little better, and he paid more attention to the other person when he spoke.

feelings.

Yunfeng didn't take it to heart, and always answered the other party's questions with a smile. He knew that these two people looked down on him, but this can't be blamed on them. The most important force in the army was that he was born with such talent.

What a pretty face.

After a few casual conversations, Li Bai and Yang Xuan said goodbye and left. Yunfeng's main purpose of coming this time was to propose a replacement of the army's armor. As soon as he saw them leaving, he immediately saluted Zhang Lingyun and said: "General, our army

The appearance of the army is not in good shape, which hinders the view. I wonder if it can be replaced with uniform armor? In addition, General Wei also wants to equip a group of heavy cavalry. I beg the General to allocate some horse armor (armor worn by war horses) to General Wei."

"Uh~!" Zhang Lingyun was stunned, with a slight blush on his face, and then said hesitantly: "Well... our treasury in Liangzhou is currently tight and we don't have any extra equipment. I won't let this matter go for the time being.

It’s urgent, we’ll talk about it later.”

"Huh? Do you think that my army is a miscellaneous army?" Yunfeng was a little unhappy, but he couldn't show it, so he nodded slightly and stood silent. In fact, Zhang Lingyun also had unspeakable difficulties, being affected by her uncle Zhang

Mao suppressed her, and the equipment of the other two cavalry units under her was not even comparable to that of Yunfeng. Yunfeng still had more than 300 pieces of Mingguang armor, complete with bows, swords, guns and shields. But she couldn't say such embarrassing words for a while.

At this time, both of them had nothing to say, and the atmosphere became a little dull. Zhang Lingyun also felt a little ashamed of Yun Feng. After all, the request was reasonable, so she wanted to send him away, so she issued an eviction order: "Yun Feng

What else is there to do? If you have nothing else to do, you can go back to the camp on your own, and just come here every morning from now on."

Yunfeng thought for a while and felt that he knew nothing about Liangzhou. It was necessary to understand the military strength of Liangzhou, so he raised his hand and asked: "May I ask, general, what is the strength of Liangzhou's troops? How many cavalry troops are there? How many infantry troops are there?

How many more?"

Zhang Lingyun answered cheerfully this time: "We have seven cavalry armies in Liangzhou, with a full strength of 21,000 people, but in fact there are only about 18,000. There are 16 infantry armies, plus the state

There are thousands of government guards, totaling 67,000 troops. Some of them are stationed in various cities, and together with those left behind in Guzang, we can actually mobilize about 35,000 troops for combat."

Yunfeng was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't have much idea about the 35,000 troops. So far, he had led only a thousand cavalry. Although he had fought several battles, they were all small-scale wars and had not been exposed to large-scale wars.

It was a large-scale battle, so I thought it would be better to go back to Yang Ming and ask about the situation in this regard.

He had asked all the questions that needed to be asked, and the other party had just issued an order to expel the guests, so Yunfeng also got up and said goodbye and returned to the camp.

Unknowingly, it has been about ten days since I arrived in Liangzhou. During these days, Yunfeng has to go to Zhang Lingyun every morning for a formality, and then goes to the military camp for training or exercises. Between Li Bai, Yang Xuan and Yunfeng

They just bowed and said hello to each other when they met, and it was obvious that these two people had no intention of having a close relationship with him. Naturally, Yunfeng would not put his warm face on someone else's cold butt.

By asking Yang Ming for advice in his spare time, Yunfeng also gained some understanding of the military system and wars of this period.

Generally, areas controlled by the Han people implemented the military system, that is, all soldiers were registered as soldiers and were assigned to a single household, which was different from the common people. After the father died, the son succeeded, and the soldiers were soldiers for generations. The social status of soldiers and their families was lower than that of the county.

, the county registered household residents. In order to expand the source of troops, slaves and criminals were also recruited into the army as a supplement to the world military system. However, the gentry bureaucrats enjoyed the privilege of exemption from military service. Yunfeng was very dissatisfied with this system and defended his territory.

, siege cities and seize strongholds all rely on soldiers, how can he fight hard with such a low status? But at present, he is just a small building owner, and this problem cannot be solved immediately, and can only be solved later.

The areas controlled by the Hu people are mainly composed of tribal soldiers, that is, their own warriors are the main combat force. There are also a small number of Han soldiers, mostly from the surrendered Wubao armed forces and bankrupt farmers recruited. These people are lifelong soldiers.

Most of the other Han people were engaged in production and labor under guard.

As for the battles during this period, the general infantry-cavalry ratio was two to one or three to one. A one-to-one situation like Liangzhou's was unique, and these 35,000 mobile troops were indeed small compared with other forces.

It's pitiful. But there is no way. Liangzhou is a remote place in the west, with a sparse population and a natural shortage of military resources. Although people from the Central Plains have moved westward to Liangzhou in recent years, it is still far from enough. Moreover, the local powerful in Liangzhou have
