Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

As more and more soldiers gathered around, the outside of the valley gradually became noisy.

The reason why the crowd flocked here was naturally because the ownership of the Xiegu camp had long been a hot spot for the masses, and the second reason was that the troops and troops stationed there were really gorgeous and dazzling in terms of their weapons and scale.

Since private soldiers accounted for a large proportion of the army of the Western Wei Dynasty, and most of the equipment and supplies of these private soldiers were required by their respective generals, there was no universal standard in the army, except for some military uniforms. There are some low-cost unified logos in the details, such as black shoulder cloth, forehead wipes, etc.

Since there are no hard and fast standards, the equipment level of the soldiers is naturally determined by the individual. It only depends on the financial resources of the general and whether his character is generous or stingy. Some are indeed well-equipped and neat in appearance, but others are shabby and miserable, just like refugees.

Entering Xiegu, this group of men and horses, although not all equipped with bows, swords, armors and other equipment, looked very good just by looking at their clothes.

Uniform dark green hakama pleats, leather hood, and leather boots are all available. Such an outfit is placed among other troops. It is rare for the captain and captain to be so elegant, but among this group of troops, even ordinary soldiers are like this. , I don’t know where the people belong to, but they are so willing to spend and waste materials.

If the elegant and decent clothes are just enviable, then the size of the team with all cavalry and thousands of horses can't help but surprise.

It should be noted that the selection standards for cavalry are far higher than those of ordinary soldiers, and the equipment also has higher requirements. The war horses alone make the training and daily maintenance of the cavalry several times more expensive than that of ordinary soldiers. It was already very difficult to assemble, and the subsequent maintenance was even more of a gold-swallowing beast!

Of course, Guanzhong also has an established cavalry team, but apart from the Sixth Army directly under the Taifu, I have never heard of any general or state or county having such a large-scale cavalry establishment.

Even the Sixth Army of Taifu does not maintain a large cavalry establishment in normal times. Firstly, the maintenance cost is naturally too high, and secondly, there is no such necessity. Even if a cavalry formation is required to go into battle, it is usually reorganized before the war. As for the normal training, it is usually just to maintain the basic amount of training to ensure that the skills of bow and horse will not become rusty.

Therefore, when this group of troops entered the Xianyang camp, it attracted the attention of many soldiers. When they settled in the shaded valley, they attracted even more attention from the masses.

Although the people from all walks of life who came here to watch were far less powerful than this group, their courage was not much inferior. As the crowd encouraged each other, all kinds of noisy and provocative sounds could be heard endlessly. I just felt that the more impressive the opponent was, the more pleasure they felt when they stepped on them.

When Li Taixing arrived near the fence outside the Xie Valley, several fixed teams shouting and provoking had formed outside the fence. The soldiers not only shouted to invite battle, but also made various provocative and humiliating actions, and even threw earth and rocks into the valley. He looks like a soldier who is extremely bored in his spare time and only likes to cause trouble.

The Longyou soldiers in the valley were naturally very embarrassed after being treated like this. Liang Shiyan and other captains had already taken out their armor and began to arm themselves.

Li Tai didn't stop him when he saw this, but he always wanted to say something about the situation, so he took a few soldiers and walked outside the fence, pointed at the groups of people outside the valley who were still shouting and shouted loudly He scolded: "Guanxi Erlang is so majestic and powerful, but it's not just with words! You and other camp soldiers no longer shout, each return to invite the master to come here, agreeing to live and die according to destiny, so that my subordinates can try their best to display their killing skills and teach you." Wait until you know your respect and shame!”

This shouting was spread outside the valley, which naturally aroused a louder retort. The provocateurs screamed angrily, wishing they could rush up and teach the arrogant Li Tai a lesson.

But the retort quickly stopped after not lasting long. The camp soldiers who were glaring at each other and shouting ferociously seemed to have their throats choked. They could only see their mouths opened but no sound was heard. The scene lasted for a while. Get weird.

After Liang Shiyan and others noticed the abnormality, before they finished dressing up, they came over one after another with knives and guns in hand. However, before they could get into formation, they heard a louder noise coming from outside the valley. His expression couldn't help but become even more nervous. He also said that the soldiers outside could no longer hold back and were about to rush into the camp, so they subconsciously defended Li Tai first.

"It's Governor Li, Governor Li!"

The soldiers outside the valley did not charge into the valley, but pointed at Li Tai, who had been covered by his troops, and shouted loudly, their voices full of joy, not at all as mean and violent as the previous provocation.

Some people couldn't help but shouted cheerfully: "No wonder these people and horses are so powerful and strong, they turned out to be the subordinates of Governor Li! Since Governor Li has returned to visit the country, the rebellion in Longyou must have been put down..."

"With the impressive appearance of Li Dadu's troops, which Kaifu will be invited to compete this year to show off the grand parade?"

The onlookers all put away their previous irritability and unkindness. Regardless of whether they knew each other or did not know each other, they all enthusiastically expressed their welcome to Li Tai, and there were also many people who enjoyed making trouble secretly shouting. .

When Li Tai heard this shouting, he was a little dumbfounded for a moment. He pushed aside the Longyou subordinates who were still nervously lining up in front, then walked up to the crowd again, pointed at the crowd outside the valley and shouted: "Who was shouting just now?" Aren’t you resentful that our troops are stationed in this camp?”

As soon as these words came out, the voices outside the valley suddenly stopped, and no one answered for a long time.

Seeing that he was very effective in calming the situation, Li Tai was also happy in his heart, and then he said: "Although the review has not started yet, and the military governors and judges have not entered the camp yet, you soldiers should not be idle outside the camp and disobey the camp rules! The captains of each department need to restrain the soldiers and practice diligently, so that they can have excellent performance in the review field tomorrow and boast in front of the other troops! Playing games and wasting time are not the true nature of our heroic men?" After shouting, the people outside the valley couldn't help whispering again, and someone shouted loudly from somewhere: "We are not here to compete for camping, but General Li is stationed in the wrong place, and Zhongshan Gong's troops are stationed on the east bank of Jingshui River, and we can't find him here..." Before the voice fell, a cheerful laughter sounded outside the valley. The life of the camp is inevitably boring. Li Tai's legendary deeds of capturing Zhao Gui alive in the battle last year are still talked about by people, which is also an important reason for his popularity. Apart from the shouting of the crowd outside, Liang Shiyan's eyes brightened immediately after hearing the words, and he crossed his hands and said: "My lord, do we need to cross the river to camp? I will cross the river first to observe, this time I will definitely..."

He hadn't finished speaking here, and Li Tai rolled his eyes. Do you think Zhao Gui is easy to bully? What's more, I have such a strong army, and the great horse of Liangzhou is still holding Zhao Gui to gain experience. What's the future?

Knowing that this group of people is actually the troops of General Li, the onlookers outside the valley are surprised and envied, and gradually dispersed.

Although Li Tai's current status and position are not enough to intimidate the crowd, he is very popular among the troops. Even if the soldiers do not avoid him because of their status, they also admire him in their hearts. Knowing that he must be exhausted after a long journey back home, they can't bear to disturb him anymore.

Although the Longxi warriors in the camp were not afraid of the clamoring crowd and were ready to fight, they were proud for a moment when they saw that their leader just said a few words, which made those arrogant soldiers restrain their madness and dare not offend again. They looked at Li Tai with a little more admiration.

People naturally admire the strong, which is due to the need for security in their hearts.

After this commotion, the Longyou warriors also saw the prestige of Li Tai in Guanzhong. They were more motivated and built the tents and temporary stables in a short time. Of course, other soldiers enthusiastically transported wood and stone materials here.

The camp had just been set up, and Zhang Shinu and others who were sent by Li Tai to the big tent to report that their troops had arrived rode back, followed by an acquaintance, that is, the family general of Ruohui, Ruozhang.

"My dear, you have returned from Longyou with even greater power. It is really amazing!"

After entering the camp, Ruo Zhang looked around the camp and couldn't help but look at Li Tai and sighed.

They were old acquaintances. Ruo Zhang had witnessed the tragic scene of Li Tai and his servants being captured in Tongguan after withdrawing from the battlefield of Mangshan. At that time, it was impossible to imagine that Li Tai would have such a huge force in just a few years. If we only talk about private troops, many veterans of Beizhen have been left far behind by Li Tai.

After hearing Ruo Zhang's sigh, Li Tai couldn't help but feel proud. He had met Li Licheng in a hurry before and had no time to ask more questions. When he saw Jue Zhang, he was curious and asked, "Is this year's review planned and hosted by Duke Changle?"

Jue Zhang shook his head after hearing this: "According to the order, it is hosted by Li Taiwei, but this year the six armies are greatly expanded, and they need to be selected from the soldiers of various states and counties, so the lord came here first and contacted the governors of various states early."

Li Tai nodded after hearing this. Putting aside various political considerations, the main task of the annual review is naturally to strengthen the construction of the army.

Last year, the organization of the six armies had been fully restored and was even better than before, but this year it will be expanded on this basis. Obviously, the previous old organization can no longer satisfy Yuwen Tai's inflated heart. The 12th and even the 24th armies are already on the agenda.

"My lord, when he learned that my young master had returned, he was also very happy, but he was discussing matters with the generals in the big tent and had no time to come to see him, so he asked me to bring my young master to see him."

Li Tai nodded when he heard several chapters say this, summoned his staff to give a brief explanation, and after thinking about it, he asked Linghu Yanbao to go with him to the big tent.

Sorry, sorry, it's even later. I was delayed by something today, so I'll update one chapter first. . .
