"Shizi, I still think you're in too much of a hurry!"

Regarding the expansion of the Jingping Army, it took two days of military meetings to make the charter, but Xi Zhicai has always been opposed, even if the program has been set, he still wants to advise Mu Jing, "The Jingping Army has good military discipline, has a good atmosphere in the army, is full of vigor, and has a stable military heart, but after all, there are too few descendants, first collected the prisoners of the Battle of Sunset Pavilion, and then annexed the Shuofang Battalion of the State Army. ”

Xi Zhicai actually knows in his heart that the current situation is not very good, it seems that the peace does not know how long it can last, the strength of the Jingping army is still too small, and even a Bishui Pass is not well defended, so it is imperative to expand the army.

But everything has to come step by step, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, but you will choke to death.

Now that the army is expanding, the pace of the Jingping army will be too big, and if one is not careful, it may collapse completely, and the Jingping army, which was brave and good at fighting in the past, will be reduced to the combat effectiveness of ordinary local soldiers and horses.

"Zhicai, you're right, and that's what I'm worried about now!"

Mu Jing had to admit that Xi Zhicai considered Jing Pingjun very comprehensively.

The atmosphere of the army itself is a melting pot, and some individual people will always be melted by the general trend in the army and become a part of it.

But what this general trend is, it is difficult to say.

Jingping Army's previous ideological attainments were very high, and the students who came out of Jingping Wubeitang influenced many soldiers and soldiers, making the atmosphere in the army very good, self-motivated, combative, pay attention to military discipline, and respect for obeying orders.

But after all, the Jingping Army has gone through several battles and has received more and more foreign generals, including ruffians, unruly soldiers, and cowardly and greedy soldiers who are afraid of death.

However, Mu Jing was still resolute in his decision: "But our army expansion is necessary!" ”

Mu Jing said: "There are difficulties we can overcome, there are troubles we can also solve, but if we don't take this step, then we can't keep up with the pace of the situation, I believe in my soldiers, these soldiers they can be born and die on the battlefield, they are strong-willed, even if some recruits join, they will not be easily affected!" ”

He thought for a while and continued: "This situation is not unsolved, the main thing is to see how the generals deal with it, we can strengthen military discipline in the army, military discipline is the foundation of a soldier, as long as we can maintain military discipline, combat effectiveness will come out, so I decided to set up a military justice department!" ”

"Judge Advocate General?"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he squinted his eyes slightly, and thought about it: "This is okay, serious military discipline should be able to deter recruits!" ”

"I'm thinking about it now, who is suitable to be the commander of this Judge Advocate General's Office!"

Mu Jing paced back and forth in the barracks, this person was not easy to choose.

The enforcement of military law is not an easy job.

Well done to offend people.

If you don't do it well, you will offend him.

I'm afraid few people are willing to do it.

"How about letting Zhang Liao concurrently serve?" Xi Zhicai proposed.

"Zhang Wenyuan?"

When Mu Jing heard this, his eyes lit up, but he was a little worried: "I'm afraid that he is a general, and some people will be dissatisfied!" ”

"What they want is that they don't accept it!"

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "The Military Law Department must be rigorous, not favoritism, Jingping battalions have a close relationship with each other, and they hold each other, which is very good on the battlefield, but in terms of military law handling, it will be taught and received privately, and then we will have no effect at all in establishing the Military Law Department!" ”

"You mean to let Zhang Wenyuan do the things that offend people!"

Mu Jing glanced at him and said, "You are not afraid that Zhang Wenyuan will be excluded from the Jingping army and become an isolated general, which will not be conducive to the tacit understanding between the two sides at that time!" ”

On the battlefield, the tacit understanding of the commander is very important.

"It depends on Zhang Liao's ability!" Xi Zhicai said: "You value him so much, I also want to see what kind of ability this person has, if he can't even handle the relationship with his colleagues, how to be a handsome talent!" ”

The commander is not a fierce general, the fierce general can kill alone in the enemy formation, and take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops, but the commander must command the whole army, and if you want to dispatch the battalions, you must let the battalion owners willingly obey orders, which is to maintain a good relationship with the main generals of all parties, which is the most important thing.

"You want to see what he is capable of, and I want to too, this matter is decided!"

Mu Jing made a direct decision.

Afternoon.

Mu Jing personally talked to Zhang Liao, this can be regarded as a separate heart-to-heart conversation between Mu Jing and him after Zhang Liao returned to Jingping's army, and he always has to talk about it, so as to know what kind of mentality Zhang Liao is like now, which is very important.

"Wen Yuan, how is the health of the soldiers of the Gang Fang Battalion recovering?" There was a pot of water boiling on the stove, Mu Jing carried the kettle, poured a cup directly, and then poured a cup for Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao should be opposite Mu Jing, a little restrained: "The doctors in the army are very attentive, most of the Shuofang soldiers have recovered, only a small number of them are seriously injured and are still recuperating, but in less than a month, they can recover their full combat effectiveness!" ”

"That's good!"

Mu Jing took a sip of tea, this tea is rare, from Yizhou to pay tribute, and then he cut off the tribute: "The Central Plains and Bingzhou are not the same, so you have to communicate with the soldiers more, I don't want to make any misunderstanding because of the different living habits of the two places, although the Shuofang battalion enters my Jingping army, it is a Jingping soldier, any Jingping soldier is my Mujing's soldier, I will never favor anyone, anyone who makes a mistake, I will deal with it!" ”

The Jingping army recovered from the wounds suffered on the battlefield, and now the entire Jingping army has begun to carry out the coordination training between the battalions, and the whole coordination training is actually still a little wrong, Xie Yu's battalion and Shuofang's battalion almost fought, and there are great regional problems in the communication between the soldiers, and the soldiers are too unruly and unruly, and the Jingping lineage is too arrogant, which is a big problem.

"Please Shizi direction, I will restrain the soldiers under my command as much as possible!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "This kind of problem will not occur again in the future!" ”

"You're wrong!"

Mu Jing shook his head, his eyes were lifelike, staring at Zhang Liao, and said: "I tell you this, it is not a bad thing to have controversy, and I am not protecting my lineage, let you choose to make concessions and let the Shuofang camp be wronged, I want to tell you that there is only one thing I mind, that is, your Lifang Battalion does not regard yourself as the son of the Jingping Army, this is what I mind, of course, I also understand that you have just entered the Jingping Army, and some things cannot be done overnight, so I give you time, between friendly troops, it is not a problem to fight, Mindset is the foundation! ”

"Mentality?"

Zhang Liao understood what Mu Jing meant, the sense of belonging, and the current Shuofang Battalion did not have half a sense of belonging to the Jingping Army, so it would brew this kind of conflict and contradiction.

"You can handle the matter yourself!" Mu Jing said: "Since you can convince Xi Zhicai to keep Shuo Fangying as the prototype, I also choose to believe you, but you can't let us down, understand?" ”

Some things stop at the point, he believes in Zhang Liao's wisdom, in fact, Xi Zhicai is right, the Bingzhou army seems to be strong, but as long as Zhang Liao is stabilized, then it is impossible for the Bingzhou army to jump out of Mujing's control.

"Got it!" When Zhang Liao heard this, he took a deep breath, in order to keep the Shuofang camp from being divided, he did use a lot of effort to persuade Xi Zhicai, and at the same time, he also understood that this would make people jealous.

"Actually, I came to you this time because I had two things to tell you!" Mu Jing knocked him a bit before he got to the point.

"Please command!"

Zhang Liao said respectfully.

"First, because of some relations between the DPRK and China, I can only stay in the capital for a period of time in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to directly stare at the drills and military affairs of the Jingping army, Jingping military affairs will be handed over to Chen Zhi in the future, although Chen Zhi has good ability, but he is inexperienced, so I hope you can support it well!"

Mu Jing handed out a Jingping order: "This is a military talisman on behalf of my Jingping Army, there are two sides, the two sides are combined, it is the Jingping Tiger Talisman, which can dispatch the whole army, I gave it to Chen Dao on one side, and I will give you this side!" ”

"Shizi, his subordinates are generals after all, and they don't dare to be them!"

Zhang Liao was a little frightened.

"Here you go, you just keep it, it's just that this thing is not easy to take, you have to be careful!" Mujing Road.

"Hard to take?"

Zhang Liao looked at the Jing Ping Ling in his hand, his pupils changed color slightly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Mu Jing's words.

"Bishui Pass is not far from Luoyang, and it is not very close, if there are any variables, I am in Luoyang, and the whip is beyond my reach, and I need to be flexible!"

Mu Jing said in a deep tone: "Chen Zhi is the main general I chose to take charge of the Jingping Army in the future, but he is still almost hot, when it comes to battlefield response, he is definitely not as good as the border army general who is not very old, but has fought no less than a hundred battles in Bingzhou, I need you to support him, of course, I also need you to keep an eye on him!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Zhang Liao looked at Mu Jing's gaze that was as calm as water but deep into the abyss, he knew that this would be Mu Jing's first test for him, whether he could stand firm in the footsteps of Jing Pingjun in the future depends on whether he could pass this test, so he took over this side of Jing Ping's order, which weighed as much as a thousand catties.

"The second thing is the Judge Advocate General's Office I established in the Jingping Army!"

Mu Jing said: "The director in charge of the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, I am ready to let you take on the same role!" ”

"Me?"

Zhang Liao frowned: "But I am the commander of the Shuofang camp, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that!" Mu Jing said: "You are the most suitable!" ”

"But ......"

Zhang Liao wanted to say something, but Mu Jing directly interrupted.

"No, the military order is like a mountain, this is the first article of military law!" Mu Jing said softly: "Are you going to be the first target of the Military Justice Department?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!"

Zhang Liao hurriedly said in a panic.

"The restraint of military law can make the soldiers understand the importance of military discipline, so that they can be consistent on the battlefield, and can enhance their combat effectiveness, so the military law department is very important!"

Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder: "Whether you can do well or not, whether you want to do well or not, this is all you need to consider, and I, just look at the results!" ”

Zhang Liao had no choice, he knew that he would have to follow if he didn't accept this military justice department.

……

……

Mu Jing stayed in Bishui Pass for five days, and then set off to return to Luoyang, he couldn't leave Luoyang for too long, it was not easy to maintain the stability of Luoyang, a person who was not careful, came out to stir up the wind and rain, he Lao Tzu faced the ups and downs alone, and some were weak, so he had to go back as soon as possible.

However, he still asked Xi Zhicai to stay, in fact, he wanted Xi Zhicai to return to Luoyang, after all, Xi Zhicai's wisdom and those old ministers who can play with the court, with him by his side, Mu Jing will feel much more at ease.

However, the expansion of the Jingping Army still needs to be presided over by someone, and Mu Jing and Zhang Ning are not there, so it can only be Xi Zhicai.

On the way, the carriage moved slowly.

"Is there a shortage of soldiers in the army now?" Zhang Ning asked while chatting.

"Hmm!"

Mu Jingdao: "It's not just my Jingping Army, the Violent Bear Army wants to expand the army, the Nanyang Army has been reorganized into the Southern Army, the establishment of the Janissary and the Imperial Forest System, and also need to expand the soldiers and horses, we lack the support of the people in Beijing, and it is difficult to recruit soldiers, so we can only come from Nanyang!" ”

"There are actually a lot of Yellow Turban Troops hidden in the land of Yanzhou, I can go and surrender!" Zhang Ning said.

"Don't!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Now I don't know how many people will recognize your identity as a Taiping saintess, how many Qu Shuai in the Yellow Turban Army want to become the heir of the great sage and good teacher, you are the holy woman who is the target of everyone, there are not a few people who want to hold you hostage, I don't want you to take risks again, don't worry about the current situation, some things just take your time, there should be some stability in the future, as long as you can get through this period of time and restore the shock of strong military power, the world can be stable!" ”

"Oh!"

Zhang Ning lowered his head, a little lost.

Boom !!

The carriage suddenly bumped a little, Mu Jing's body was unstable, and he suddenly pounced on Zhang Ning, his right hand just pressed on a soft place, and he instinctively pinched it.

"You!"

Zhang Ningqiao's face flushed, looked at his salty pig hand, and gave him a slap at once, with a crisp sound: "The prodigal son!" ”

"You wronged me!"

Mu Jing covered his cheeks with five fingerprints clearly printed, not daring to reason in this matter, looking at Zhang Ning, who was about to go crazy, and crawled out of the carriage.

"Huo Shao!" Mu Jing's anger was furious on the guard: "How did you catch the car!" ”

"Shizi, this is a mountain road, a little rugged, I'm sorry!"

Huo Shao repeatedly apologized.

"Where's the front?" Mu Jing didn't dare to enter the carriage anymore, he looked around and asked.

"Shizi, in front of you is the Huangting Ferry!"

Huo Shao replied: "If you cross Luoshui, you will be able to enter the range of Luoyang!" ”

"Hmm!"

The rancho nodded: "Hurry back to Luoyang as soon as possible before it gets dark tonight!" ”

At this time, there was a sudden agitation and confusion in the open space ahead.

"Little lady, don't go!"

"Hehe, such a flower-like little lady, it's cheap for us!"

"Go away, you all go away!"

On the mountain road, there were not many people, but when I looked up, I only saw in the distance in front of me, dozens of fierce and vicious strong men surrounding a carriage, and then there were bursts of foul words, and in the chaos, there were bursts of screaming voices of girls.

"What's going on up ahead? Order all the soldiers of the guard battalion to stop, and then send someone to inquire about the situation! Mu Jing stood on the carriage, glanced around, squinted slightly, and ordered in a low voice.

Although the situation seems to be much more stable now, he does not dare to let his guard down at all, and it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not make a fuss about him and deal with his father.

"Shizi, those people in front of me seem to be bandits, but there are a few martial arts that should be good, maybe rangers!"

Huang Zhong personally went to inquire, and then rode into the carriage, reported to Mu Jing, and said: "They intercepted a carriage and killed several people, the owner of the carriage should be two young girls, these thieves plan to take the two little girls in the carriage away, rob the wealth and sex!" ”

"There are actually bandits near this Luoyang?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing squinted slightly, a little surprised, and said: "Since you have encountered it, you can't treat it as if you can't see it, save people first!" ”

"No!"

Huang Zhong nodded, he himself had been a ranger, and he had some righteous and courageous blood, so he went up directly to pick up those bandits, and then saved the two girls in the carriage.
