Chapter VII The Reasons for the Weakness of the Frontiers

When Xue Yong arrived here, Luo Shixin did not ask him to go back first. Instead, he was waiting for Su Dingfang to come and discuss and find a way to prescribe the right medicine. It was indeed a chore to train a group of sheep into tigers and lions that could produce wolves. But at this point, Luo Shixin had no intention of escaping at the last minute.

If the border soldiers are at the level of Xuanjia Army, each of which can be as good as ten or one battles, what should he do? As long as he is not commanding, he can hold tens of thousands of Xuanjia Army, he will definitely easily overthrow the Turks. You must know that Xuanjia Army is a fierce soldier in the world, with only three thousand people in full. It is a brave soldier selected from all the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and a strong soldier after rigorous training. When one person in the Xuanjia Army dies, he will need to add ten representatives from each of the 12 Guanzhong Army. After competing with each other, he will add the winner.

You should know that the 12 Guanzhong Army is the core strong army of the Tang Dynasty, with each army having a population of about 200,000. The Xuanjia Army selected the best one from 200,000 elite soldiers and soldiers.

In terms of combat effectiveness, no casual Xuanjia Army will be inferior to the commander-in-chief at the rank of the lieutenant.

In the Battle of Hulao, Li Shimin dared to use 3,500 cavalry to attack Dou Jiande's army of more than 100,000, and the 3,000 Xuanjia Army was his confidence.

If everyone in the border soldiers were Xuanjia soldiers, the Turks really didn't have to mess with them.

As the general of Tiance who holds the power of the world, Li Shimin cannot be unaware of the situation of the border soldiers. He arranged him from afar, because he believed that he could train the border soldiers like a wolf or a tiger within a certain period of time. It would be too embarrassing to escape back to Chang'an with his tail in shame. What's more, Li Jing, Li Shiji and the others encountered, the situation should be similar. They were training hard, so what reason did he, Luo Shixin, give up?

They are all born to one's head, and who is afraid of whom!

Luo Shixin thought so.

Because Suizhou is separated by Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the news was conveyed, and Su Dingfang rushed over and took one day to get along. Xue Yong stayed in the Governor's Mansion for one night until Su Dingfang arrived. Su Dingfang arrived at the Governor's Mansion in a dusty noon the next day.

As Luo Shixin expected, the situation brought by Su Dingfang was exactly the same as that brought by Xue Yong, and it was not much different. They all emphasized that the border soldiers had no intention of fighting and were all obedient and obedient to die, and they had no military spirit or spirit.

Su Dingfang had to see further and more thoroughly than Xue Yong, saying, "General, in my opinion, those soldiers are not useless in their true calculating. The soldiers who have been on the battlefield, whether they are victorious or defeated, are able to live as a sign of strength. They may not be strong, far from the twelve guards or the twelve armies of Guanzhong. But compared with those peasant army who have not been on the battlefield, those new soldiers who have not been trained must still win. But most of them are used to indulging and have no laws.

Law, no goal. The general said a sentence. Even the general still remembers that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Only with goals and yearning will he fight. The soldiers in the Suizhou military camp gave me the feeling that there is no goal and no yearning, just like no soul. This army without souls will feel that there is no vitality, and naturally it is like a sheep, obedient. It is really hard to imagine that this border soldier, who has always been known for his bravery, looks like this."

"It is indeed strange in other dynasties, but it is not strange in my Tang Dynasty." Luo Shixin also had the same feeling at first. In his impression, the border soldiers should be very strong. They are threatened by foreign races all year round, live in wars, and protect the peace of the border. Therefore, through ancient times, border soldiers have been synonymous with brave men. In many dynasties, the strength of the border soldiers is even far better than that of the Central Army.

Because the Central Army is far away from the battlefield, it is easily eroded by the emperor and bewitched by interests. As a result, the generals and schools love money and cherish their lives, which affects the combat effectiveness of the entire army and is vulnerable. In history, there are countless incidents in which the Central Army is vulnerable due to the loss of the border. However, in the Tang Dynasty, this situation was the opposite.

This is also closely related to the rise of the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty established itself in Guanzhong, it adopted the national military system of fighting the world with Guanzhong, and established the 12 Army Office in the Qinchuan generation of Guanzhong, which is the familiar 12 Army Army. Luo Shixin's Tianjie Army, who was responsible for training in the past, was one of them. In addition to the Tianjie Army, there were also Wannian Road as the flag army, Chang'an Road as the Guqi Army, Fuping Road as the Xuange Army, Liquan Road as the Jingfu Army, Tongzhou Road as the Yulin Army, Huazhou Road as the cavalry army, Ningzhou Road as the Zhewei Army, etc.

When the Tang Dynasty conquered, the 12th Army in Guanzhong must be dispatched. It can almost be said that most of the entire Tang Dynasty was defeated by the 12th Army. The strength of the 12th Army in Guanzhong can directly represent the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the 12 Guanzhong Army was too strong, the development of the Tang army also turned towards the 12 Guanzhong Army. All excellent equipment was first satisfied with the 12 Guanzhong Army, and if there were rewards, they were also the 12 Guanzhong Army. In the long run, the 12 Guanzhong Army became stronger and stronger, and the border troops were all unbalanced, so they lost their fighting spirit.

As soon as the Turkic army arrived, the border troops shrank and protected the main towns from being captured. The 12 Guanzhong Army, which was like a wolf and a tiger, rushed to the front-line battlefield under the dispatch of Li Yuan.

This formed a vicious cycle, and the Tang Dynasty relied too much on the Twelve Armies.

This happened in history. Li Yuan felt that the world was settled and the 12th Army in Guanzhong had no need to exist, so he abolished the 12th Army. As a result, the Turkic army attacked, and the Tang army was beaten to pieces, which made the soldiers frightened and the three armies frightened and dared not fight.

Li Shimin had to personally lead the Xuanjia Army to plunder the formation, and lead a hundred people to yell in front of the 50,000 Turkic army to boost morale, and then forced the Turkic army to retreat.

After this war, Li Yuan also restored the 12th Army system, which shows the Tang Dynasty's dependence on the 12th Army in Guanzhong.

Because of Luo Shixin's appearance, Li Yuan did not abolish the 12th Army of Guanzhong, and there was no incident of hundreds of cavalry plundering formations, but the Tang Dynasty still relied on the 12th Army of Guanzhong.

This is also the reason why the border soldiers are as weak as sheep.

These are the reasons why Luo Shixin thought about it overnight, and explained these in detail to Xue Yong and Su Dingfang.

Xue Yong and Su Ding looked at each other before they understood.

"So that's it!" Xue Yong nodded and said, "What the General should have said is good. The 12th Army is too strong, so the border army's limelight has been stolen and received unfair treatment. The army is unstable and the hearts of the people are gone. In the long run, it will become the border army with no ambition today."

Su Dingfang continued: "Because they felt that even if they were working hard, the General of His Majesty who was far away in the court could not see it. They felt that all the civil and military officials in the court focused on the 12th army and ignored their existence. The more they thought this way, the more unsatisfactory they performed, the worse they performed, the less they could get everything from the soldiers. They directly fell into today's border troops, without knowing how to make progress, not thinking about progress, and just waited for death."

"This will form a vicious cycle. If it continues to develop, the border army will be destroyed!" Luo Shixin pondered for a moment and said, "Since you know the problem, I will prescribe the right medicine and change the trend for me. I will apply for a batch of brand new weapons and armor from above, so that all soldiers will feel refreshed and let them know that their treatment is the same as the 12th Army in Guanzhong. As for you two, no matter what, let me bring the general's discipline first and let him

We have a soldier appearance. Starting from the most basic grasp, we have time. Even a group of pigs, we will cut off their fat and stick the hair of tigers. As for helping them get the glory of soldiers, I have some ideas. But now is not the time, please pay attention. I believe that there are still materials to be made in all border troops, and there are still good soldiers who are talented and unwilling to join in. I will give them a special care. I will use it."

Xue Yong and Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!"

"When you go back, whether you train a group of screaming soldiers or retreat in shame to Chang'an, it depends on you." Luo Shixin smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders, encouraging his beloved generals and subordinates.

Xue Yong and Su Dingfang only felt that their shoulders were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and their eyes were solemn and firm.

They can have what they are today, and Luo Shixin promoted them. Now Luo Shixin needs them and tells them that they must not let down their high expectations.

The two of them clasped their fists and retreated one after another.

Luo Shixin was not worried about them. Needless to say, Su Dingfang was the first-class general. Xue Yong was indeed not famous in history, but he was calm and persistent. After years of getting along, he also knew that he was a trustworthy object.

Compared to them, Mo Hu'er needs to spend more time here.

In terms of ability, Mo Hu'er is clever and has learned a lot from him over the years that he has the ability to stand alone, but his age is a flaw. He is only in his early twenties, and he is younger than him.

Although ability has nothing to do with age, anyone who accepts a person who is much younger than him will still have some rejection. After all, unlike him, Mo Hu'er lacks his strength and prestige to despise everything.

However, Luo Shixin did not think about intervening directly, letting Mo Huer do it himself. If he didn't try to fall, he would never walk.

"Maybe Mo Hu'er may not have overcome the difficulties himself!" Luo Shixin still gave Mo Hu'er a certain high hope, and because he is the governor, he holds the military and political affairs of the three states, and cannot be the same as before. He is involved in this place, and interferes in everything. Delegating power and letting his confidants handle it. It is something that he must learn in his identity.

While Su Dingfang, Xue Yong, and Mo Huer were learning to be the only one, Luo Shixin himself was also learning how to be a great governor and do what the superiors should do. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
