After bidding farewell to Zhao Hongrun, Qu Cheng returned to the 50,000 Chu troops and prepared for reorganization.

But before reorganizing the army, he must first set up the framework of the generals, after all, he alone can't complete the reorganization of the entire army of 50,000.

Therefore, he recruited dozens of generals of the Chu State, including Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, Wu Ji, and Yan Mo.

"His Royal Highness King Su, gave the commander of this army of 50,000 to Qu Mou......"

Qu Cheng's first sentence surprised the dozens of Chu generals present.

Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji were fine, after all, they had long known that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, admired Qu Cheng very much, but the rest of the Chu generals who did not know were stunned when they heard these words.

Because in their opinion, Qu Cheng is also from Chu, and he is also a nobleman from Chu State, why does His Royal Highness King Su of Wei State trust this Qu Cheng so much?

Not to mention that they didn't know about it, even Yan Mo, who had some numbers in his heart, was stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that Qu Cheng would at most master more than 10,000 surrendered troops, but he didn't expect that Zhao Hongrun would hand over all the 50,000 Chu surrendered troops to Qu Cheng.

"Yan Mo, you will serve as Qu's deputy general, I hope it won't insult you." Qu Cheng said jokingly.

"Qu Cheng...... Is it really the king of Wei Guosu?'

Yan Mo was surprised and happy in his heart, after all, he and Qu Cheng are grasshoppers on the same rope now, if he wants to live a prosperous life in Wei in the future, then he naturally hopes that Qu Cheng will be more trusted by the Wei people.

"Don't dare." Yan Mo looked serious and solemnly bowed to Qu Cheng.

"This ...... ceremony"

Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao and many other generals couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the etiquette that Yan Mo practiced.

Because Yan Mo's salute to Qu Cheng was not a military salute of knocking on the ground on one knee and clasping fists with both hands. In their eyes, they saw Yan Mo knocking on the ground with his right knee and his left hand on his left knee. His right hand clenched his fist against the ground, and at the same time his head was lowered with a serious expression.

In the state of Chu, this is the ritual of swearing allegiance to someone!

As long as Qu Cheng helped Yan Mo, then from now on, Yan Mo could be regarded as Qu Cheng's retainers and cronies.

Of course. In fact, this kind of etiquette of swearing allegiance is not very restrictive, just like at the beginning, Qu Cheng, Yan Mo and others also performed similar allegiance to Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu and Huancheng Jun Xiong Tuo, but now not all of them have surrendered to the Wei State.

But it is undeniable that this is Yan Mo showing his heart to Qu Cheng.

No, Qu Cheng was also surprised to see Yan Mo who gave him this great gift, and he couldn't help but feel a joy that he had never enjoyed before.

You must know that this is a monarch-level treatment in the Chu State, generally speaking, only those who are surnamed Xiong and the king of Chu can enjoy the treatment. He Zenglun got his Qu Cheng, a middle-level aristocratic side branch from the "Xiong Qu surname", which was not in line with the laws of the Chu State.

But Yan Mo still did so, and then, Qu Cheng also calmly helped the former up with both hands.

This means that the contract between Qu Cheng and Yan Mo has been formed.

"Thank you, General Qu Cheng." Yan Mo stood up and thanked Qu Cheng, and immediately turned his eyes to the dozens of Chu generals behind him, coughing and reminding: "Zuo Xun, Hua Yu, Gongye, Zuoqiu." What are you waiting for? ”

As soon as the words fell, four of the dozens of Chu generals came out. After glancing at Yan Mo, he learned his allegiance etiquette and swore allegiance to Qu Cheng.

"The last general, Zuo Xunxi, knock on General Qu Cheng."

"The last general, Hua Yu, knock on General Qu Cheng."

"The last general Gongye wins, knock on General Qu Cheng."

"The last general, Zuo Chumu. Knock on General Qu Cheng. ”

Qu Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was silent, you must know that these four generals, Zuo Xunxi and Zuo Qiu Muna, are all three thousand generals, plus Yan Mo. The three three thousand generals all swore allegiance to him, which was definitely the treatment of the king of Yi.

And the other two, Gong Yesheng and Hua Yu are also 2,000 generals, although Qu Cheng does not know their talents, but he believes that since they can get acquainted with Yan Mo and make friends, then these two are by no means mediocre talents.

"Four, please get up."

Qu Cheng had a smile on his face and helped the four generals up one by one.

Looking at Yan Mo and Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gong Yesheng, and Zuo Qiumu, the rest of the Chu generals had their own expressions.

Some of them were surprised that Yan Mo and the others actually made such a great gift of allegiance to Qu Cheng, and some secretly hated that they had not seized the opportunity.

You don't have to think about it to know that since Qu Cheng can become the main general of this surrendered army and get the handsome position, I believe that he must have hugged the thigh of the Wei people, and it is very likely that it is the young King Su of Wei, who has surrendered to Wei anyway, and if he does not swear allegiance to Qu Cheng at this time, when will he wait?

As a result, many Chu generals swore allegiance to Qu Cheng, but Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji, the three Chu generals who had already surrendered to Wei, watched coldly.

"Qu Cheng...... Are you planning to pull up your own team?'

Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao glanced at each other.

They were a little unhappy in their hearts, after all, they and Qu Cheng both surrendered to Wei at the same time, so after surrendering to Wei, they no longer had the so-called superior-subordinate relationship with Qu Cheng, but now Yan Mo is guiding these many Chu generals to be loyal to Qu Cheng, which means that if they do not obey Qu Cheng in the future, they may be squeezed out by these Chu generals who have formed a gang.

『……』

After Qu Cheng picked up the generals one by one, he quietly glanced at Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji, Wu Ji didn't say anything, but Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao could see that they were faintly unhappy, and they stood there without speaking or swearing allegiance to him.

But in this regard, Qu Cheng doesn't care, after all, in his opinion, the talents of Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao are average, and it doesn't matter if they can get their support or not, but he has some regrets about Wu Ji, after all, in Qu Cheng's opinion, Wu Ji is a talent that can be created.

But it's even more regrettable because the four of them are all Chu generals who once surrendered to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su. Therefore, according to the unwritten rules, Qu Cheng can't force Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji to be loyal to him, otherwise from another point of view, wouldn't he be on an equal footing with Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su? This is not a good thing, and it is easy to provoke gossip.

After this brief allegiance ceremony, Qu Cheng immediately promoted the generals, and all three of Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao and Wu Ji were promoted to 3,000 generals, and Hua Yu and Gongye Sheng were also promoted to 3,000 generals, only Yan Mo, Zuo Xunxi, and Zuo Qiumu did not change their positions, and they were still 3,000 generals.

He made this arrangement after some consideration: after all, if there are more than 3,000 generals, that is the general, if the position of Yan Mo and others is promoted to the general, then his position is equivalent to the general of the Junshui battalion, and it is strange that this arrangement does not arouse the disgust of the Wei soldiers of the Junshui battalion.

Therefore, even though he now has 50,000 Chu troops in hand, Qu Cheng still only sets his position as a general, which is equivalent to the positions of Li Qi, Gong Yuan, and Wu Ben, the generals of the Junshui Battalion, and the Chu generals under him also stop at 3,000 generals, such an arrangement is slightly lower than that of the Wei army, so as not to arouse the disgust of the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion.

After the position was formulated, Qu Cheng began to distribute military power, because Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji had a special status, and without Zhao Hongrun's approval, Qu Cheng could not arbitrarily dispatch them, so he simply gave 5,000 troops each, and the right to send the three of them away.

And the remaining more than 35,000 Chu troops surrendered, Qu Cheng himself led 15,000, called Yan Mo as the commander, and the remaining 20,000, Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gongye Sheng, Zuo Qiu Mu four 3,000 people will be in charge of 5,000 each. As for those 2,000 generals and 1,000 generals, they were also placed under the command of the five generals Yan Mo, Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gongye Sheng, and Zuo Qiumu.

As for those who surrendered to Wei but did not owe allegiance to him, Qu Cheng stuffed them under the command of Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji, and let them deal with it themselves.

Anyway, if something goes wrong with Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji, it has nothing to do with him Qu Cheng, after all, the four of them are directly responsible to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

After assigning the military power, Qu Cheng immediately asked these Chu generals to rectify and reorganize the 50,000 Chu troops.

"Time is pressing, we only have half a day's work to reorganize the army, and when we wait for noon tomorrow, the army under the command of King Su will immediately march to the state of Chu and crusade against the territory of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng. Qu hopes that you will complete the establishment of the army as soon as possible......"

Speaking of this, he paused, and then warned emphatically: "Although we are all Chu people, His Royal Highness King Su trusts us so much, and promises to reward meritorious deeds after winning this battle, regardless of Wei people and Chu people, this grace is rare in ancient and modern times...... If any of you are half-hearted, or have bad intentions, Qu Mou will say ugly things in front, and then don't blame Qu Mou for ignoring the feelings of a country's origin. ”

The generals only agreed, and then they left one after another.

"Keep an eye on them for me." Before Yan Mo left, Qu Cheng whispered to Yan Mo.

Yan Mo nodded, and glanced at the four generals Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gongyesheng, and Zuo Qiumu, and the four generals understood in their hearts, followed behind the group of Chu generals, and also retreated to reorganize the army.

At this time, Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji saw that the matter was arranged and left.

Looking at their departing backs, Yan Mo frowned and said to Qu Cheng: "Gu Liang and Wu Ma, Fang Cai's face is not very good-looking, does it matter?" ”

"Hmph." Qu Cheng snorted lightly and said lightly: "Since they surrendered to King Su, the two of them have been a little dissatisfied with Qu...... Qu is just hindered by King Su, so it's not good to teach them a lesson, and he really thinks he is a character? After that, he shook his head: "When they go, they will definitely tell King Su about the matter......

Yan Mo asked with some concern when he heard this, "Then ...... King Su's side? ”

"It doesn't matter." Qu Cheng shook his head and said firmly: "That King Su's temperament has gradually been figured out, he only cares whether I Qu Cheng is loyal to the Wei State, and doesn't care how many people I have subdued...... Hold on to this big tree, maybe in the future, the surnames "Qu" and "Yan" can also become the surnames of Wei. ”

"That's a good feeling." Yan Mo couldn't help but feel a little warm when he heard this. (To be continued.) )
