The Plateau Legion has a total of 100,000 people.
This is the largest army in the Western Qin Army.
The soldiers are all trained by warriors from various Tubo tribes.
It has been three years since the training began.
This army Its predecessor was the Tubo slave army formed by Zhao Ziliang when he conquered Tibet a few years ago.
After the Tibet was wiped out, this servant army of nearly 200,000 people was selected and disbanded, leaving behind The strong warriors formed a plateau legion.
The legion commander was appointed by King Zhao Lei, and the first lieutenant was appointed by the Tibetan Zhamu.
After three years of training and equipped with the standard equipment of the Western Qin Army, the combat effectiveness of this army was far from the The general standing army is not far away and has been stationed in the Tianzhu area in recent years.
In order to strengthen the control of this army, Han people are all over the officer and general levels.
Turbod, Zhao Lei and Zhamu are marching westward with 50,000 plateau troops.
Forty percent of the Gaoyuan Army are cavalry and 60% are infantry.
The team of 50,000 people is deployed for nearly ten miles on the road to the Persian region.
The road is long, the team is densely covered with flags, and there is no end in sight.
After three years of rigorous training and being equipped with a full set of Western Qin Army standard equipment, the appearance of the Plateau Legion has undergone earth-shaking changes, becoming barbaric and with strict military discipline.
These Tubo warriors all wear their own unique national costumes in the plateau area.
This is due to the terrain and climate.
However, in the hot Tianzhu area, the Tubo people cannot wear their own costumes.
They can only wear the regular uniforms of the Western Qin Army. , the reborn Plateau Army has no trace of its original appearance.
It is no different from other Western Qin armies.
The top military generals stopped on the side of the road and began to study the next march route.
The team slowly stopped after receiving the order.
The first deputy general Zhamu looked at the map.
Zhao Lei discussed with the other deputy general and gave the order for the entire army to stop advancing, rest for an hour, and eat on the spot before setting off.
Then he walked next to Zhamu and asked: "Zhamu, how are you?"
Zhamu raised his head and said to Zhao Lei: "Prince, there are two relatively short roads to Behdahir Castle, but both roads need to pass through the garrison area of the Great Cannibal."
Zhao Lei was very unhappy and rebuked; "Zhamu, I told you not to call me eldest prince in the army, but to call me army commander."
Zhamu touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "The general's memory is not good.
He always has trouble remembering.
He forgets as soon as he speaks."
Just as he was about to talk to Zhao Lei about the march route again, a group of more than a hundred cavalrymen came from the north, but the distance was too far and it was not clear whether they were friends or foes.
When he heard the noise and turned his head two days ago, he couldn't help but his expression changed.
Zhao Lei said with an ugly face: "Why did a group of cavalry run to our army?
Only now did I realize what the guard posts on both wings were for."
Zhamu said: "Maybe they are friendly troops.
There are so many people and they are running with such great momentum.
It is impossible for the guard post not to notice the enemy.
Don't worry, general.
It seems that there are only a hundred riders.
The general will lead people to meet them.
If it is the enemy, The army will fight immediately."
"Okay, hurry up and get ready."
Zhao Lei agreed immediately.
Zhamu led more than a hundred cavalry from the legion's guard battalion to quickly meet him.
He quickly saw the opponent's flag and uniform clearly.
It turned out to be a friendly army.

Zhamu breathed a sigh of relief.
The captain of the guard battalion next to him was a Han veteran and was quite familiar with military flags.
When he saw a civilian official at the front holding a banner, his expression suddenly changed and he said to Zhamu: "General, banner."
After all, Zhamu was from Tubo.
He had only joined the Western Qin Army for a short time, and he did not know much about some things in the Western Qin Army.
He turned around and asked in confusion: "What is a Jingjie?"
The captain explained: "General, did you see the person at the front holding a yak tail tied to a bamboo pole?
He is holding a Zing Jie.
There are several types of Zing Jie, one represents the king, and the other represents the court, and the one he holds The one he holds is the banner representing the king, which means that this person is the envoy sent by the king."
Zhamu said quickly: "Send someone quickly to tell the eldest prince and ask him to come over."
"yes" After receiving the news, Zhao Lei quickly rode over and reined in his horse.
He stopped and took a look.
Sure enough, he saw the person at the front of the horse running over from the opposite side holding a banner.
He immediately ordered the soldiers in the guard camp to pay attention to the orderliness of the queue and their appearance.
When more than a hundred riders from the opposite side came to a stop, Zhao Lei led Zhamu to ride forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Zhao Lei, the Protector of Tianzhu Protectorate and Commander of the Plateau Army, led his deputy Zhamu to welcome the king's envoy."
Both sides dismounted and walked toward each other.
The civil official opposite held a banner in his left hand and a bright yellow scroll in his right hand.
He stopped in front of Zhao Lei and said with a smile: "Jin Zhanpeng, the lower official, pays homage to His Highness the Great Prince."
Zhao Lei hurriedly said: "Master Jin represents the father.
There is no need to be more polite.
Do you have the will of the father to come here this time?"
Jin Zhanpeng said: "Yes, the king has a decree.
Please ask His Royal Highness the Prince and General Zhamu to take over the decree."
The two men immediately knelt down to receive the order.
Jin Zhanpeng recited the order.
The main content was to allow Zhao Lei and Zhamu's plateau army to go directly to the southern part of Persia in the Dashi Kingdom without having to take a detour, before heading to Behdaxi.
On the way to Er Castle, he wiped out the Dashi Kingdom's garrison and opposition forces in southern Persia, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in the area, and Jin Zhanpeng would also serve as Zhao Lei's supervisor.
The southern region of Persia includes Sistan Baluchestan Province, Hormozgan Province, southern Kerman and southern Fars Province.
The area is not small, but the number of cannibals in this area is not very large, leaving a small area.
The garrison of ten thousand troops is enough.
"I accept the decree."
Zhao Lei agreed loudly and took the decree handed over by Jin Zhanpeng.
After getting up, Zhao Lei read the edict again, turned around and handed it to Zhamu, and said to Jin Zhanpeng: "I have ordered the army to rest for an hour before setting off.
Your Excellency has come a long way, so let's take a rest and eat with these brothers first.
Order something and I will order someone to prepare a tent for Mr.
Jin."
Jin Yunpeng quickly stopped: "The eldest prince, don't be busy.
Anyway, we will set off in an hour.
It's too troublesome to set up camp.
Let's just settle down wherever we go.
But we are very hungry and thirsty.
The subordinate officer has just arrived and is facing the army."
I’m not familiar with the people and affairs here, so I have to trouble the eldest prince to make arrangements.”
Zhao Lei nodded and said: "That's right.
In that case, General Zhamu and I were discussing the march route just now.

We were about to talk while eating.
Mr.
Jin, let's come together."
Jin Zhanpeng immediately agreed: "Okay" Returning to the team, some soldiers had already set up a simple tent on the roadside.
A map had been hung in the tent.
Before the food was served, several people began to discuss the marching route.
The second deputy general Wu Tielin stood in front of the map and said: "The king's will is for us to lead the army to the Behdashir Castle and capture the southern part of Persia on the way to join him.
Then this march route must be carefully considered.
According to military information, the total number of troops stationed in this area is less than 10,000, and they are mainly stationed in several places.
Among them, there are three thousand people in Bambul and Hulhumus each, one thousand people in Zalburg, and the remaining three thousand are scattered throughout the region.
There are five or six hundred towns, and some have only one or two hundred.
There are countless numbers.
If they gather together, they can be considered a force that cannot be ignored, but if they are scattered, it is easy for us to defeat them individually."
"The general has an idea.
We first cross the border to attack Zaleborg, and then move northwest to capture Bambur.
We will leave some troops to continue cleaning up the surrounding areas.
The main force will march westward along the Bambur River and follow the water source.
All the way through the Jazmulian Basin, although there is no road, there is water.
As long as there is water, we can march all the way.
March westward until you reach the city of Horumus.
After capturing the city, leave some troops to clear out the local resistance forces.
The main force marches to the northwest.
If there is a large food army along the way, attack it until you reach Behdashir Castle.
This marching route is not the closest, but it is the best marching route and can capture the southern part of Persia."
Zhao Lei thought for a while, then turned to Jin Zhanpeng and Zhamu and asked: "What do you two think?"
Jin Zhanpeng had just arrived and was unable to express his opinion.
He remained silent.
Zhamu said: "This can not only eliminate the main strength of the food army in the area, but also take into account the marching speed.
The general thinks it is feasible.
What do you think, Lord Jin?"
Jin Zhanpeng smiled and said: "I am just a civil servant and don't know much about military affairs.
Since the three generals think it is feasible, let's follow this march route.
The army's food and grass are enough to use it."
Zhao Lei said: "We did not carry enough food and grass.
We were supported by officials from various places along the march, and we could barely sustain ourselves until here.
Our existing food and grass can only last for half a month at most.
We will cross the border in three days, so we enter the country." cannibal land After crossing the border, we will have to raise food ourselves.
We discussed this matter before setting off.
General Zhamu will be responsible for raising food and grass, and he will also handle the logistics.
General Wu and I will be responsible for the march and combat Zhamu.
The general kept talking about him We are not good at logistics, but we can still raise food and fodder.
Let's re-divide our respective responsibilities now, so that everything in the army can be done step by step and in order to avoid chaos.
As the general, I am in charge of everything.
Responsible for commanding operations, military intelligence and information exchange; General Wu is mainly responsible for marching and setting up camps; General Zhamu is responsible for the collection of food and other supplies.
I will give you 3,000 people first.

If there are not enough, we will allocate others; Lord Jin is responsible for logistics, military discipline, and law enforcement teams. " The three people agreed one after another.
These people were very respectful to Zhao Lei.
After all, Zhao Lei was the eldest prince and the legal crown prince of the Western Qin Dynasty, but he had not been officially canonized.
According to the laws of the Western Qin Dynasty, Zhao Lei was the first in line to the throne.
As an heir, if nothing happens, he will take over the power of Western Qin in the future, so these generals and officials are extremely respectful to him
