Chapter 129 Consolidation

Cangshan Temporary Camp

On the afternoon of 18 June, Qin Qi, the temporary commander-in-chief of the 10,000 government armies of Tong'an and Pingyang, convened a meeting of the generals of the two government armies above the rank of seven-rank generals.

Big camp, handsome tent

This Qin Qi Qin general, about forty years old, has a serious personality and is not smiling, although his reputation in the army is not obvious, but he can be entrusted by Di Yi with the important task of commanding tens of thousands of government troops, naturally he is not a mortal.

At this time, in the face of the generals of the two governments, General Qin, who had a cold face, quickly lit the first fire after taking office.

The armies of the two prefectures were merged into one, and the soldiers and horses under his command were disrupted by their respective formations, and after the reintegration was completed, he appointed the generals to lead them one by one.

One stone startles a thousand waves!

As soon as Qin Qi's words came out, the faces of all the generals in the tent, including Yan Kui, changed.

This is to seize the power of the army............

Today, Cangshan, the army of 10,000 governments, is roughly distributed in the hands of the generals of the two governments.

For example, the 5,000 government army in Tong'an Mansion is what Yan Kui, Zhao Shenxing, and Diao Qing said, and the situation is almost the same on the side of the Pingyang Mansion army, and the difference is only a matter of the number of generals and their respective military powers.

And Qin Qi's proposal to reorganize and integrate, from a big point of view, is not wrong, to improve the unified combat effectiveness of the army, and at the same time to facilitate command, but for Yan Kui, Zhao Shenxing and others, this is to force them to hand over their military power, and the generals will naturally mumble in their hearts.

In their opinion, what Qin Qi said at the moment sounds good, and after the integration is completed, he will appoint the generals one by one, but if Qin Qi turns his face and does not recognize people, and casually finds a reason to send himself to a logistics or staff position, wouldn't he accompany his wife and fold his troops.

It's no wonder that they are so sensitive, as military generals, the most important thing is nothing more than a few points, and military merit and military power are the top priorities.

After all, a warrior is a toothless tiger without weapons, and a general has no military power, and his confidence in his heart is even more ............

……………

For a while, the whole tent fell into a quiet, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they all chose silence.

Seeing this, Qin Qi frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.

He himself also knew that as soon as he came, he would collect the military power of the generals, and no one would want to put it aside, but there was no way, as the commander of this army, he naturally had to consider the overall situation, and the military power held by the generals under his command would not let go, how could he command on the battlefield.

If it is changed to the side, Qin Qi can also slowly figure it out, boil the frog in warm water, and slowly gather the army's heart without arousing the generals' resistance and gradually control the power of the entire army.

But now that the border situation is in crisis, Emperor Liyang ordered that Di Yi's troops should rush to the General Pass before July, and it is estimated that soon after, the troops under the command of Qin Qi will be given specific combat missions.

The time was urgent, and it took less than half a month before and after, so Qin Qi had to master the soldiers and horses in his hands as soon as possible, so Qin Qi didn't have so much patience to take his time, and simply and rudely took the military power first.

As for the military spirit, we will talk about it later.

Knocking on the table, Qin Qi glanced around at the expressions on the faces of the generals who were in his hands, and the corners of his eyes moved slightly.

"Don't speak, do you? If you don't speak, the general will take it as your acquiescence, and after you go back, you will immediately report the roster of the soldiers under your command, and within three days, the Cangshan army must be integrated.

During this period, those who dare to make small moves in private will be dealt with by military law, and there will be no mercy. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals in the tent changed again, and a few of them were grumpy, and even angry.

This guy surnamed Qin is so domineering!

…………

Qin Qi didn't put the anger of the generals in his eyes, jokes, if it was normal, he naturally didn't dare to be so fierce, otherwise the generals below would make a fuss, and the court would hear the letter, and he would not have good fruit to eat.

But when is it now, the two countries are in a big war, everything has to make way for the resistance to the Western Zhou, Qin Qi has Di Yi's support, and he is the commander of the first army, what he says and does is also right, if the generals dare to disobey the order, he really dares to kill a few people to sacrifice the flag, even if the court knows, it will not be rewarded or punished.

The rules of the army are one thing in peacetime, and another thing in wartime............

Qin Qi knew this truth, and the generals naturally knew it, so although his face was red and blue for a while, no one stood up and jumped out after all.

Seeing this, Qin Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then explained again, today's meeting is over.

The generals said goodbye to Qin Qi, and each of them came out of the tent with a gloomy face.

Yan Kui's expression in it is good, after all, eighty percent of the soldiers and horses under his command are system soldiers, even if they are scattered, their loyalty to him remains the same.

It's just that he gave up the thousands of system elites under his hands, and he didn't know if he would let himself be in charge of the army in the future, although Yan Kui didn't have the smell of others on his face, he didn't have a smile at all.

"Brother Yuan Han, wait for the little brother."

Yan Kui was striding forward, thinking about how to deal with Qin Qi's integration, when a shout suddenly came from behind him, Yan Kui turned around, and found that it was Diao Qing, who was the same lieutenant of the Tong'an General Military Mansion as him.

…………

"It turned out to be Bo Chu (Diao Qing's character), what is the matter with me?"

When Yan Kui saw Diao Qing, he barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said hello to him.

During this time, the two rushed from Tong'an to Cangshan with troops, and during this period, Yan Kui and Diao Qing were also familiar with each other.

Coincidentally, Yan Kui followed Hong Guangbing to suppress bandits on the front line for several months, and he met almost all the generals of the Anfu Army, big and small, but Zhao Shenxing and Diao Qing, who rushed to the front line with him this time, had never met him himself.

Yan Kui has never seen Zhao Shenxing, because he is the deputy chief soldier of Tong'an, during the period when the chief soldier Hong Guangbing led the troops to suppress bandits, he sat in Fucheng, so he has never met Yan Kui, and Diao Qing, the reason is relatively complicated.

Diao Qing, who is only in his early twenties this year, was able to become a lieutenant of the sixth rank at this age, mainly because of his family's Northern Jin Dynasty.

His father Diao Yidao, the general of the Northern Jin Dynasty Zhengsanpin Zhengbei, a senior military general, is also one of the top generals today, with a fifty-five-pound purple lightning and green thunder knife, he killed countless Zhou generals in fear.

Diao Yidao was also the nickname given to him by the generals of the Zhou Army and the Jin Army, and later spread, this nickname slowly replaced his real name, and even the official documents of the Northern Jin Dynasty mostly referred to each other by the name Diao Yidao

This is not a deliberate disparagement of the other party, but a compliment.

Among the many high-ranking generals in the Northern Jin Dynasty, there are many who can command battles than Diao Yidao, but when it comes to martial arts, when it comes to fighting and killing, Diao Zhengbei is called second, and no one dares to call it first.

In the Northern Jin Dynasty, the name "Diao Yidao" was one of the highest respects of all martial artists.

Of course, Diao Zhengbei, who is now over fifty years old, has declined in force because of his age, and although he can still go to the battlefield, he will definitely not be able to fight as much as ten or twenty years ago when he was in his prime.

However, it is still the case, and General Diao's martial arts are not inferior to those of the Northern Jin Army, old and strong.

……………

Diao Qing is Diao Yidao's youngest son, it's funny to say, Diao Zhengbei Hero I, gave birth to several sons, but he has never had any talent for martial arts, and can only barely survive in the army by relying on his father's shadow.

Only the youngest son Diao Qing barely scored three points for Xiao's father, so Diao Zhengbei attached great importance to this little son, and took him with him to cultivate him since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he was sent to the army to support him all the way.

Under the arrangement of his father, Diao Young Man was only in his early twenties, and he had mixed qualifications in the forbidden army and the border army, and now, he was sent to serve in the Tong'an General Military Office, and An An steadily survived for a few years.

It is precisely because of this that Diao Qing has 500 men and horses for his command, otherwise he is a small six-rank lieutenant, and he is not an open Yan Kui, how could he have military power in front of Zhao Shenxing, the deputy commander-in-chief.

When Yan Kui was in Tong'an before, he had heard of this second-generation top army of the Northern Jin Dynasty, but he didn't want to see him in Fucheng, so he actually became a colleague in the 5,000 government army supporting the front line.

In fact, Diao Qing was protected by his father Diao Zhengbei, and there was no need to rush to the front line, and Hong Guangbing would not transfer him, but now that he came to the front line, it is said that this Diao Du Lieutenant took the initiative to ask for battle, and General Hong couldn't resist him, so he finally sent him.

Because of this, Yan Kui has always looked up to this second-generation soldier, no matter how good this Diao Qing's ability is, just this heart and courage alone has not lost his father's face.

Yan Kuigao glanced at Diao Qing, and Diao Qing has been looking up to Yan Kui of Erzhai for a long time, although the two can't talk about it at first sight, but they also have a good relationship.

……………

"Brother Yuan Han."

Diao Qing stepped forward, glanced at Zhao Shenxing, who was returning to the camp with a depressed face in front of him, and whispered to Yan Kui.

"General Qin asked us to hand over the military power, what are you going to do?"

Yan Kui grinned: "What can I do, just act according to the order, is it possible that I am a little captain, and I dare to argue with General Qin." ”

Hearing this, Diao Qing also knew that he was asking this question too stupidly, so he smiled, and then complained a little distressedly: "Forget about it, but I have more than a hundred veterans under my command, and that is the elite that my father gave me, if this is distributed to others, I will lose a lot." ”

Yan Kui looked at Diao Qing, who was a little worried, and smiled, I didn't know whether to say that the other party was naïve, or praise Qin Qi's superb acting skills, reached out and patted Diao Qing's shoulder, Yan Kui said with relief.

"Don't worry, your more than 100 veterans can't escape, and they will definitely still be under your account."

Diao Qing also reacted a little: "You mean ......"

Yan Kui nodded, and said with a little envy: "General Qin is no matter how serious he is, your father's face still has to be taken care of, there are more than a hundred and ten people on the left and right, and he can't be a villain for this." ”

“………”

Diao Qing recalled Qin Qi's cold, serious, righteous and awe-inspiring image in Fang Caishuai's tent, and suddenly felt a little collapsed.

Looking at Diao Qing, who was a little stunned, Yan Kui couldn't help but shake his head, although he was brought by his father to cultivate him since he was a child, and after many years of military career, he didn't know if he was born with such a personality, or what, Diao Qing was not very sensitive to officialdom.

It's not a blank slate, but after all, there is not much ink, and sometimes it seems very naïve and shallow to look at things, without any scheming, and looks like a silly boy.

Ignoring Diao Qing, who was reshaping Qin Qi's image in his heart, Yan Kui strode away sideways.

This time the army was integrated, Qin Qi made it very thorough, not only the generals and soldiers had to be dispersed, but even the subordinate generals had to be reassigned, so Yan Kui had to go back and inform his subordinates.

Especially Qin Wu and Qin Shi, who are hot-tempered powder kegs, he has to beat them well, otherwise if they are really distributed to others, people don't want to let them himself.

…………

The next day, in the complicated mood of the generals, Qin Qi officially began to reorganize the Cangshan Ten Thousand Mansions Army, and after three days, the reorganization of the army was finally completed.

The 10,000 government army is divided into five divisions, each with 2,000 people, with the code name of the front, rear, left, right, and middle, of which the Chinese army is personally led by Qin Qi, and the remaining four are assigned to other generals to command.

Yan Kui, as the captain of the Liupin, is also a middle and senior general in this 10,000-strong army, plus he has a small reputation for suppressing bandits before, so he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Qin Qi - as the chief general of the left army, commanding 2,000 people.

Diao Qing was appointed as Yan Kui's deputy general, and all the 100 old soldiers were brought to the Left Army by him.

In comparison, Yan Kui is almost strong, and now the original subordinates of the left army under his command add up to less than five hundred, and a small number of them are not system soldiers.

Fortunately, the generals under his command are quite complete, except for Chen Xingxiao and Fu Zhiming, who were separated, the rest are still under Yan Kui's account.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Yan Kui did not have any loss, but was valued by Qin Qi, and went further, which was enviable.

Zhao Shenxing is the strongest one among the people who envy Yan Kui, before he was the nominal head of the Tong'an Mansion Army, and the military power in his hands was as high as 3,000, such a powerful person, there is no doubt that he was strongly suppressed by Qin Qi.

Now, Zhao Shen has been named the deputy general of this 10,000-strong army by Qin Qi, and his identity seems to have gone up, but he has also become a puppet, and he has no military power in his hands............
