Chapter 8 Patrols
As soon as he was a low-level Qiu Ba, in a few words, he was provoked to be emotional, his blood boiled, and he was deeply trapped in the puzzle of flickering without knowing it. Similar conversations in this account are by no means the only ones in the Longqi Army, there were some signs before, but they were slowly fermenting, and with the news of Yeludeguang's proclamation as emperor, it began to spread in the army on a large scale.
With a high-pitched and fierce horn sound, the sergeants in the tent all shook up, got up reflexively, and held their troops in full gear. A rough shout came from outside the tent: "Assemble the left battalion!" Hearing this, the tent guards moved, and in a short time, the whole barracks fell into an orderly busyness.
Before long, the battalion commander took a few sergeants and walked into the tent of Li Dutou. Seeing this, Li Dutou hurriedly greeted him: "Commander Wang, what's the situation?" ”
'What else could happen!' Jun Yama 'has entered the camp and made his rounds! The commander's tone was very "unkind", and he commanded Li Dutou: "Don't give me nonsense, take your people, gather at the school!" ”
"Yes!" Li Dutou immediately straightened his waist.
As he spoke, he glanced at the soldiers in the tent, and the commander raised his horsewhip, lit it, and shouted loudly: "Cheer me up, move quickly, and don't delay and delay." Again, the left battalion of the First Army should be the fastest and most complete. If you fall behind the other battalions, see how I clean you up......"
In the center of the barracks is a school field, which is not large, and it is more than enough to accommodate the sergeant Longqi in the battalion. On the third-floor stage, Liu Chengyou sat solemnly, with a set of fish scale armor on his body, looking heroic. His eyes were as calm as water, staring at the soldiers who were coming one after another, nervously gathering, and silently estimated the time in his heart.
On the military case in front of him, a small stick of incense has been half burned, and the flames continue to devour the incense, and when it burns out, in the center of the school field, the battalions of soldiers have been assembled. The soldiers wore swords and shields, their military appearances were neat, their expressions were solemn, and their eyes did not squint. The scene was silent, although the number of people was small, but the fierce aura of a mighty and majestic division seemed to rise above the school field.
This kind of sudden attack and temporary assembly drama is not the first time that Liu Chengyou has done it. Liu Chengyou is still quite satisfied with the performance of the Longqi sergeants, and as for being more refined and fast, he doesn't have that expectation for the time being.
Although he was satisfied in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at all, got up and looked at it condescendingly for a while, Liu Chengyou raised his hand and waved it with a calm expression: "It's all gone!" "There is no intention of watching the drill and martial arts again.
As soon as the words fell, behind Liu Chengyou, a general immediately came out of the ranks, waving a flag and shouting: "The army master has an order, the whole army is disbanded, and each belongs to his own battalion!" ”
Probably also used to being tossed, there was no and no dare to complain, and under the leadership of their respective officers, the sergeants left the scene in order. Liu Chengyou watched for a long time, and only then did he go to the tent of the Chinese army accompanied by two Longqi officers.
"Yes, the soldiers have not slackened, just that spirit, the Hedong army, our army dares to be the first!" While walking, Liu Chengyou raised his finger and spoke, and actually expressed his encouragement to the two officers: "The two of you have done a good job, you have worked hard!" ”
Two officers, one long and one young. The elder was in his thirties, with a fleshy face, a fierce look, a beard, and a little fat in his body. This person's name is Zhang Yanwei, who lives in Hedong Marching Army Sima and Longqi Army Duyu Marquis, and is Liu Zhiyuan's favorite general.
At the beginning, Liu Zhiyuan appointed Liu Chengyou as the commander of the capital, in fact, how could he be completely assured that he would be entrusted with the weight of the first army to such a child, Zhang Yanwei was Liu Zhiyuan's insurance for the Longqi army, and ordered him to assist Liu Chengyou as the Marquis of Duyu. Of course, the name is auxiliary, but it is actually regulation. It's just that the development of things later surprised Liu Zhiyuan, and Liu Chengyou, with his identity, ability, and skill, subdued the Longqi Army, including Zhang Yanwei.
Don't look at Zhang Yanwei's appearance, but he is a smart person and is very good at pleasing people. Hearing Liu Chengyou say that, he immediately showed an ugly and natural smile and patted his ass: "It's all because you have the law to govern the army, and you have changed the ills of the past, so that you have today's Longqi Army!" ”
Liu Chengyou squinted at Zhang Yanwei, his face was expressionless, and his eyes seemed to contain a sharp man. Zhang Yanwei's neck couldn't help but shrink, and he subconsciously lowered his head and said goodbye to Liu Chengyou's "Sima face". I still can't help but muttered in my heart, I know that the King of Beiping is serious and heavy, but in comparison, this Liu Jiaerlang is much more terrifying......
"But it's not in vain that I put so much effort into it." It wasn't until Liu Chengyou's fluttering voice came from his ears that Zhang Yanwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quanyi, how is the morale of the army?" After taking a steady step and groaning slightly, Liu Chengyou looked at the young general on the other side.
"The morale is high, but it can be of great use!" The young general, named "Quanyi", replied succinctly. This person is indeed not very old, but he has a strong style of marching, and he is obviously a person who has been polished in the army for many years, and he looks very capable.
"Hmm." Liu Chengyou nodded in response, then stopped talking, and quickened his pace towards the Chinese military camp.
The young general's name is Ma Quanyi, a native of Youzhou, who is good at riding and archery, and has superb swordsmanship. When he was fifteen years old, he followed Fan Yanguang, the envoy of the Tianxiong Army at that time, in Yecheng, and fought quite bravely, and Fan Yanguang surrendered, and was incorporated into the Later Jin Forbidden Army. It's just that he has nothing to rely on, he is quite unhappy in the forbidden army, it is rare to relocate, and he is depressed, and he leaves the camp and escapes.
Hidden in the countryside, he planted land in Heyang for two years. But in this troubled era, how can a young man like Ma Quanyi, who has a good martial arts body, be willing to farm. coincided with Liu Zhiyuan's recruitment of soldiers and horses in Taiyuan, and he decisively came to vote and was incorporated into the Longqi Army. Under Liu Zhiyuan, life has been better, but he has only slowly mixed up with the military position of captain.
Until September last year, the Khitan rode 30,000 steps into the east of the Kou River, and Liu Zhiyuan personally led the army to defeat it in Yangwu Valley and beheaded 7,000. Ma Quanyi accompanied the army at that time, led his subordinates to charge fearlessly, beheaded two Khitan military academies in a row, and was promoted to the head of the capital after the war.
When Liu Chengyou takes charge of the Longqi Army, Ma Quanyi will be completely operational. When inspecting the whole army, Liu Chengyou quickly discovered that Ma Quanyi was extraordinary, and bravery was not his only advantage.
Under the favor, he was decisively promoted. In just a few months, Liu Chengyou promoted him to the commander of the First Army of the Longqi Army, commanding 1,000 soldiers. And Ma Quanyi, in addition to the accident, was moved. He is more diligent and serious in his work, in order to repay Liu Chengyou's kindness.
The affairs of the First Army were handled in an orderly manner, and they seemed to be at ease, which did not disappoint Liu Chengyou at all, and even broke the "gossip" on him with his ability. He had some fame and prestige among the low-level soldiers, and he made great efforts in the process of Liu Chengyou taking control of the whole army.
Today, Ma Quanyi's promotion has become a typical example of Liu Chengyou's "meritocracy", and people with lofty ideals in the army are greatly encouraged by him.
Quickly entering the military tent, Liu Chengyou sat directly on his own seat, waved his hand and retreated to guard outside the tent, took a breath, and stared at Zhang Yanwei and Ma Quanyi standing in front of him: "How are things going?" ”
Of course, the two knew what Liu Chengyou was referring to, Zhang Yanwei immediately gave up his hand, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his throat and said: "The last general has contacted several commanders of Wujie and Xingjie Army, and everyone has this intention. It is certain that as long as someone takes the lead and raises his arms, he will lead his subordinates to help! ”
Hearing this, he nodded slightly, Liu Chengyou made a small movement in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and looked at Ma Quanyi again: "What about you here?" ”
"I have acted according to your orders, and according to the reaction of the soldiers, the king of Beiping has won the hearts of the army, and great things can be expected." Ma Quanyi's tone also revealed some expectations.
"Not bad." Hearing this, Liu Chengyou said calmly. Then he hung his head, as if thinking about his next move.
Seeing that Liu Chengyou pondered for a long time and didn't give orders, Zhang Yanwei couldn't help it, and couldn't help but suggest: "Many soldiers have been secretly agitated, or they will lead people to Jinyang to petition, if it is late, they may be preempted by others!" ”
"No hurry!" Liu Chengyou shook his head directly, thought about it for a while, and then said: "Wait, it's not ...... time yet."
