Chapter 25: Promotion
"Brother Yang!" Lu Dabao walked over from the bottom of the mountain and said, "Big brother told us to come over." ”
"Did you say anything?" Hu Feng inquired.
"It's not the end of the war." Lu Dabao said: "It should be a matter of war damage." ”
Li Mingwei temporarily set up a tent on the high ground where Lu Dabao led people to release arrows, and the entire mountain col was quite clean here.
"Brothers, I just came back from Zhao Qianhu." Li Mingwei said: "The latest information, Suidezhou has fallen three days ago, and it is difficult to realize our battle plan to continue to attack Fugu in the north, so Zhao Qianhu ordered us to prepare to attack Suidezhou, and several fraternal troops around it will also send troops to take Suide." Li Mingwei said this and looked at the people below, because of Yang Qi's military exploits, he was also present at the meeting.
"This gang of thieves who ambushed us, it has now been ascertained, it is the second thief army of the king of Baishui, I heard that Wang Jiayin opened a mansion in Fugu County, set up a government, and acted as an official, thinking that their group must be going here, he led the thieves all the way from south to north, attacking castles along the way, burning villages, killing officials and soldiers, the number of the team is like a snowball, gathering more and more, and now there are more than 10,000 people." Li Mingwei introduced: "In addition, according to intelligence, not only his bandit army, but also Wang Zuogui of Yichuan, Zhang Cunmeng of Luochuan and other bandit troops are moving in the direction of Fugu. ”
Yang Qi still knows a little bit about this history, the drought in Shaanxi in the past two years, every family can't eat, just give the rebel army a chance, the peasant uprising broke out in a concentrated manner, the most representative is: Wang Jiayin, Wang Er, Zhang Cunmeng and Gao Yingxiang, compared with the previous few, Gao Yingxiang is just a little-known person, and Li Zicheng is just a post station.
"Okay, after introducing the information, let me talk about the battle damage, a total of 1,857 enemies were killed in this battle, of which our army killed 1,423 people and lost 438 people!" Li Mingwei looked at the document in his hand, and then said: "Yang Qi's department performed well, not only warned in advance, but also withstood the onslaught of the enemy's two total forces with his own strength, until our army completely withdrew from the encirclement, and achieved a proud record of killing fifty-two enemies without any casualties. Li Mingwei knew that Yang Qi was capable, but he didn't expect that his combat effectiveness would be so strong, and if he caught the opportunity this time, of course, he still had to win it over.
"Oops!"
"Congratulations! Congratulations! ”
Zhao Zhongquan and Jiang Jiren were still wondering why a small flag officer came to the meeting to discuss the military today, and it turned out that he was promoted to the general flag.
"Haha!" Hu Feng happily patted Yang Qi's shoulder and handed him a "sure enough" look.
Yang Qi also bowed his hand to express his gratitude among colleagues.
"Soldiers, choose from the skirmishers." Li Mingwei said: "If you are not satisfied, we will do something about it." He already takes good care of Yang Qi, and Yang Qi understands this.
"Thank you Li Baihu!" Yang Qi will never trespass etiquette in front of outsiders, which Li Mingwei is very satisfied with, unlike his brothers, who are always big brothers and big brothers, and sometimes it is impossible to take care of them, so they can only do business, so as not to be truthful.
"Hmm!" Li Mingwei nodded and said: "Wang Jiewen's department has been disabled, his subordinates have been reorganized by Lord Zhao, because our department has just experienced a battle, specially organized in the rear army, Zhou Zijin has taken the place of Wang Jiewen's former army, and is now marching to Suide, our army will be rectified a little, and it will be pulled out immediately!" ”
"Yes!" Several people got up together and took orders.
"Brother Li!" Yang Qi deliberately took a step slow, and after waiting for everyone else to go out, he turned around and said to Li Mingwei.
"Brother Yang, but what's the matter?" Li Mingwei asked.
"The battle between Zhao Qianhu and Liu Qianhu is irreconcilable, and it is really difficult for you and me to be caught in the middle." Yang Qi opened his mouth and said.
"They fight them, and it has nothing to do with us." Li Mingwei said indifferently.
"We are now on an expedition, and all supplies must be counted on Anding County." Yang Qi continued.
"Brother Yang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, you and I are not outsiders." Li Mingwei said simply.
"Brother Li, while Wang Jiewen has not returned to Anding County, we should send someone to pull supplies again, as much as we can, even if we can't get supplies, we must find a way to get more food in case of emergency." Yang Qi voiced his concerns.
"Huh?" Li Mingwei thought for a moment and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, it's just that this time and again, our troops don't know where to fight, how to get in touch then?" "Li Mingwei is from the border army, he knows the battle best here, in the past, it was all about his own high, which was constrained everywhere, and now he has started a new stove, and the team that is hard to get is gone, if he is exhausted, can he still have a chance to get the military power again? I'm afraid that it is unknown whether I will be able to survive by then, and now I have the opportunity to fight for myself, of course, I can't give up, but the actual situation is really not optimistic.
"Brother Li, why don't you send reliable people to open up a secret place in this mountain pass, and after the supplies arrive, you can hide them on the spot?" Yang Qi said: "This place is not far from Suide, and it is easier to travel back and forth. ”
"Yes, while there is still time, I'll go and set it up." Li Mingwei said he would do it.
"Brother Li, don't forget my firecracker!" Yang Qi followed behind Li Mingwei and admonished.
"Don't worry, you have all your lifeblood with you." Li Mingwei waved his hand without replying.
"Take it." Yang Qi returned to the temporary station and threw the waist card of the little flag officer to Wei Dayong, and took out two pieces from his body and threw them to Li Tianfu and Wang Yuan respectively.
"Ahh Wei Dayong took the waist card and was stunned for a moment, and asked stupidly: "You are not a little flag officer?" ”
Yang Qi looked at his expression and was amused, reached out and took out the new chief flag officer's waist card, shook it in front of him, and said, "I'll use this in the future." ”
"Oops!" Wei Dayong happily hugged Yang Qi and said with a smile: "Hahaha! ”
"Congratulations to Mr. Yang!" Li Tianfu and Wang Yuan took everyone to Yang Qi and said.
"Come here." Yang Qi beckoned everyone to come over and said: "Actually, you can all be promoted, but I can only appoint five small flag officials, there are not so many positions for you, if you want to be an official, I will go to Li Baihu and transfer you to other places, I will never stand in the way of my brothers." ”
"Yang Qi, we are all willing to follow you!" As soon as they heard Yang Qi say this, they all knelt on the ground and said.
"What is this for? Hurry up, please. Yang Qi stepped forward and helped them up one by one and said, "Okay, since the brothers have decided to follow me, I, Yang Qi, will never treat you badly." ”
"Now follow me to pick our own soldiers!" Yang Qi said.
"Whew!!" Eleven big men howled excitedly together.
Yang Qi didn't know what the promotion meant to these soldiers, but it was not difficult to see from everyone's excited expressions that the benefits were great.
"Dayong, do you think it will be smooth for us to select soldiers later?" Yang Qi asked with some uncertainty.
"Where to choose?" Wei Dayong asked rhetorically.
"Skirmishers." Yang Qi said.
"Oh, don't worry, they're just going to take part in it!" Wei Dayong said confidently.
