Given that the number of troops stationed in Queqiao Pass has reached nearly 60,000 and more than 10,000 prisoners are imprisoned, Wufeng has to face a relatively serious logistics problem. Queqiao Pass itself also has a logistics warehouse, but that little bit of supplies is a drop in the bucket for nearly 60,000 troops, especially the consumption of food and grass is even more amazing. Fortunately, the logistics troops of the three divisions have brought a lot of supplies themselves, but if they continue to drag them down like this, they will soon bottom out.

However, Wu Feng was still worried. The newly appointed Director of War Readiness did not disappoint Wu Feng's expectations. As early as when Wu Feng set out to Bonan, Rao had already begun to plan to use private transportation forces to transport a large number of grain and supplies from Qingyang to Bonan one after another, and the transportation teams from Bonan Prefecture City to Yangmakou Fortress were also flowing continuously.

As soon as the battle between Queqiao Pass ended, the people in the Northwest War Preparation Bureau intervened first. While counting the remaining supplies in Queqiao Pass, calculating the consumption of soldiers entering Queqiao Pass, and at the same time, the preliminary supplies from Yangmakou to Queqiao Pass also began to be transported. At the suggestion of Rao, Wufeng agreed to transfer more than 10,000 Taiping Army prisoners to a special simple prison outside the outskirts of Bonan Prefecture. This was also urgently built by Rao when he learned that Wufeng was intending to enter the Guardian. It was indeed handy at this time.

In order to reduce the transportation pressure of logistics work, Wufeng's order has arrived at the newly built Northwest Independent Third Infantry Division (formerly Jinzhou Guard Division) in Bonanfucheng to enter Yangmakou. Wufeng made a special trip to Yangmakou to inspect the situation of the so-called Independent Third Infantry Division.

According to Wufeng's idea, it should not be the turn of this division to be transferred to the regular army, because their previous regiment was also transferred to the Guide Guard Division. It was only a little over a year since the division was established. In any aspect, it was not the turn of them to the regular army. However, the situation is urgent and no more troops can be drawn from other places. Only Jinzhou has a special geographical location and is relatively safe. It is reasonable to adapt its guard division into an independent Third Infantry Division.

However, what Wufeng did not expect was that after learning that he had been promoted to a regular army by an extraordinary rule, his enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high. Most of the soldiers of this division were from Gaoyue tribe, and they were a pure infantry division. When Wufeng inspected, in addition to feeling the high fighting spirit revealed by the officers and soldiers, the soldiers' performance was also beyond his expectations. Wufeng was deeply surprised by the fact that he had been able to reach this level for more than a year of training, so that Wufeng summoned the division commander of the local division a month and a week ago.

Through the conversation, Wufeng learned about the basic situation of this division. It turned out that due to the change in the situation in Jinzhou and the strong publicity, a large number of Gaoyue people moved out of Hengduan Mountains to settle in the mountains, and even many Gaoyue people from other areas also crossed mountains and rivers to Jinzhou. Although living conditions improved, the reality before them was that many Gaoyue people lacked the necessary living skills. Apart from farming and entering the factory to sell their labor, there seemed to be no roads suitable for those Gaoyue people who were young and middle-aged.

The income of farming and working in heavy physical labor in the workshop is not too high. This is indeed not a good choice for Gao Yue men who came out of the deep mountains and longed to live a good life. The legendary stories and generous treatments passed down from the army by the first group of fellow villagers who became soldiers under Wufeng made the long-lasting compatriots who had been poor for a long time jealous. Naturally, the army became the yearning for these young and middle-aged men who were not short of physical strength.

However, the recruitment of soldiers from the Northwest Army is no longer direct to the society. Generally, it is used to be drawn from the local security forces. To become a member of the security forces, one must first be a member of the local reserve force. Therefore, in order to be able to join the army, many young Gaoyue tribesmen joined the reserve force for basic training while working. In order to be selected by the security forces as soon as possible, these people were particularly hardworking and serious in the reserve training. Especially when the Northwest Army was formed a few years ago, the two security divisions in Jinzhou were all converted into the main divisions of the Northwest Army, which further stimulated people's enthusiasm for joining the army and lived up to expectations. The previous security division was transferred to Guide, and this group of them was able to get what they wanted and became a member of the security forces. Now they have jumped and become the regular army they have always dreamed of. How could they not make them so excited that they can't fall asleep?

It was probably the first time that the two of them were received by Wufeng alone. They seemed a little restrained in excitement and spoke very cautiously. However, under Wufeng's relaxed and casual attitude, the two gradually let go. The two were originally the chiefs of staff and logistics directors of the Guide Security Division led by Zeppelin and Gao An. Because the entire division was transferred to Guide, Ling Tian left the two as the chief and deputy division commanders of the new security division after discussing with Zeppelin and Gao An.

The division commander Xiong Daoyuan is a mixed-blood person with half of the Gaoyue tribe's blood, while the deputy division commander Shui Zheng is a native of the Gaoyue tribe. Both of them are very tall, but Xiong Daoyuan looks more gentle, while Shui Zheng is domineering and looks like he shoulders the world.

Wufeng briefly asked about the organization of the division, and everyone answered it one by one. The entire division had no corps because it belonged to a pure infantry division and had no cavalry. Except for one of the five corpses, the Gaoyue tribe's patent - the spearhead corps, the other four corpses were configured according to standard configurations, three light infantry mixed corpses, one heavy infantry corps, and each light infantry corps has two archer brigades, and the rest are infantry.

Seeing that Wufeng came to learn about his division, he was afraid that his division would not match the commander's intention, Shui Zheng, who seemed a little shy, had not spoken much, and said with a red face: "Sir, please don't worry, Lao Xiong and I both came from the previous Jinzhou Garrison Division. Over the past year, our division has spent a lot of effort on all aspects of training. Many middle and grassroots officers have also gone to the Northwest Military Academy for short-term further study. Our brothers will never embarrass you. Shui Zheng is willing to use this head to guarantee it."

When he laughed, Wufeng felt very interesting. Perhaps these two guys thought they could not trust the combat effectiveness of their troops, so they hurriedly confessed to such a confession.

Before he could speak, Xiong Daoyuan continued, "Yes, our soldiers have actually been in the reserve for two or three years. They have been training in the reserve for quite a while. Many of them work to make a living, while training themselves in their spare time in order to join the army as soon as possible. Even we are very moved. For them, joining Lord Li's army is like entering a sacred group. This is a place that is both glorious and risky. For them, they either die in the battlefield or return home in glory, and there is no other third way to go."

Xiong Daoyuan's passionate words aroused a strong resonance in Wufeng's heart. Yes, what is his brothers following him to fight and fight? If we talk to everyone about the principle of governing the country and safeguarding the nation, some people may be really interested, but most of the grassroots officers and soldiers may be difficult to maintain for a long time. If we want to firmly twist their thoughts into a rope, we can only rely on strict management to establish their sense of responsibility and honor, and a clear system of rewards and punishments to encourage them to take the lead. Another point is the generous and complete logistics support and pension mechanism to eliminate their worries. Only by doing these points can they truly serve their lives and move forward.

Without any other words, Wufeng stood up and patted the two of them on the shoulders, his eyes full of anticipation and encouragement. It made them feel warm in their hearts. Everything was silent. The two of them just gave another standard imperial military salute and watched Wufeng leave silently.

The rebellion of Guanxi County is like a prairie and the girl is very upset. The whereabouts of Li Wufeng and several of his main divisions are naturally clear. However, the information from the empire asked her to make Li Wufeng stay calm and stay in the northwest without participating in the central government's suppression of the war in Guanxi. This made the girl extremely distressed. Her fiancé disappeared several days ago and she could not find him at all. What if she found him? Can she stop his actions by herself? Then Li Wufeng would not call him Li Wufeng.

After sighing softly, the girl stood up and went to the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window enviously. As a girl who had just turned sixteen, if she was born in other wealthy families, it would be a good time to play with her to relax. But because she was born in an imperial family that everyone envied, she had to travel thousands of miles to this place without relatives and no reason, and was used as a decoration by others. She did nothing all day long, but she wanted to do something powerless and had no joy at all.

Li Wufeng would definitely not give up the opportunity to intervene in the war in Guanxi. The army of three divisions arranged in Bonan would never just be a stance (she didn't know that the entry of the Independent Third Division and the change of hands at Queqiao Pass). He would definitely know that the Empire would not authorize him to send troops to Guanxi, so what are he waiting for?

It is no longer a secret in the entire empire's court to guard against the expansion of Li Wufeng's power because of his strong vigilance. For more than half a year, he was explicitly pacified and asked him to recuperate. The life of living in the imperial capital in secluded has allowed many experienced ministers in the court to see this. Although he was forced to return to his nest due to the emergency situation in the northwest, he should have made some targeted military arrangements. Unexpectedly, the sudden Taiping uprising caused everything to be messed up, and his prosperity has even far exceeded the danger of Li Wufeng, at least she herself thought so.

But seeing the current attitude of the central government still seems to have not changed. Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but sigh. In her opinion, the best way was to let Li Wufeng lead his army to the war, and to order him to do his best. The two tigers fought each other and the viewers benefited, just like the ancient Bian Zhuang stabbed the tiger. How could the wisdom of the father and Lord He not see through such a simple truth? She really didn't understand. At present, she had to do everything she could to stop Li Wufeng from advancing eastward. Is the empire really sure that the Taiping Sect could easily solve the problem?

She was very suspicious in her heart that she had come to the northwest from the imperial capital, and during this period she also inspected the local security forces of various prefectures along the way. Needless to mention the real combat power, even the momentum of the army set up on the storefront gave people a feeling of lack of necessary training. These troops seemed to know that they could not cope with real battles at all, let alone expecting them to win a war. In contrast, she secretly observed that the security forces of various prefectures in the northwest were very different from those of the Kansai prefectures. Regardless of their training degree, organization number, and morale of soldiers were not at the same level. This made her admire that Li Wufeng did have a good job in military management. Think about it, if there were no support from these powerful troops, why would he dare to confront the arrogant Luo Beiren head-on, and why would he dare to lead the troops into the Northern Luzon where he had no foundation at that time?

The Taiping Cult rose in a rush, and various parts of Kansai were suddenly in a short period of time. This was not beyond her expectations. It would be strange if a prepared army was not successful against an unprepared army, not to mention that those guards could not play a role at all. Without the cooperation of local guards, can the regular army, which is already stretched to the empire, be able to wipe out the peaceful and rebellious parties? The girl had too many questions in her heart, but unfortunately no one could answer it.

Just as the two men and women in the northwest were still rushing for their respective tasks, officials at most of the prefectures in the two major counties in the northern empire were panicked and suddenly realized that the people in the jurisdiction, which had always been obedient, seemed to have turned all of them all, and they drew their swords to face each other in the past. Officials at all levels, who used to collect rents and taxes, seemed to be in trouble. Before these officials could react, the Taiping Rebellion that swept across the entire empire had officially begun.

On November 12, 695, under the planning of the Taiping Cult Master Xu Wenzhe, the uprising first started in the central part of Pinglu Mansion in Beiyuan County. On that day, under the leadership of Xu Wenzhe, 50,000 Taiping soldiers and civilians were ambushed in one fell swoop in one fell swoop in one fell swoop. Then, the guards of the three regis were surrounded by the guards of the three regises who came to reinforce. The battle was unprecedentedly fierce. The security forces of the three regises were completely wiped out, of which nearly 3,000 soldiers who were deeply exploited by superior officers joined the Taiping Army in front of the formation, and the Taiping Army was in a high momentum.
