After completing the handover formalities, he sent Gu Xiuyuan and Luzhu Weng away, and then, Ling Xia came to the camp under the leadership of Du Qijun and a few people, as soon as he sat down, Yan Sanniang and others led their respective captains to come to the audience, Ling Xia met and talked with everyone one by one, and those captains also chatted with Ling Xia with admiration.

The generals of the Thunder Legion were still secretly worried before, and the old legion commander Si Qikong handed over the legion to the crown prince Xia Yuanwei after disarming and retreating, but Xia Yuanwei never arranged a successor to the corps commander, at first it was rumored that Xia Yuanxiao, the secretary of the military department, would take over the post of Thunder Legion, and later there were discussions that the successor would be the sixth prince Xia Yuantu.

In fact, Du Qijun was not very convinced by Xia Yuanxiao and Xia Yuantu, although the two were princes, their appeal in the military world was not too strong, until a few days ago, when Xia Yuanwei announced from the coalition headquarters that the new commander of the legion was Ling Xia, the emotions of all the soldiers of the Thunder Legion suddenly burst out, and this result was completely beyond their expectations.

Although the Thunder Legion was not sent to the battlefield and had no contact with the soldiers of the Northern Theater, the various deeds of Ling Xia leading the Battle Flag Division from the Northern Theater of Operations spread all over the Legion, and everyone was full of admiration and admiration for Ling Xia, and the soldiers were surprised and delighted to learn that Ling Xia would become the new Legion Commander.

After talking with the generals, Ling Xia went to the legion station to personally inspect the camp, military tents, divisions, canteens, equipment depots, grain and grass depots, weapons depots, after visiting these, Ling Xia asked everyone to organize drills, and saw that the new corps commander wanted to test himself, Zhang Yixia, Xue Tianlie, Yan Sanniang, and immediately summoned the soldiers under their respective commands for military exercises.

The soldiers put out various formations, the wild goose wings spread their wings, closed vertically and horizontally, the cloth bags were encircled, impermeable, frontal impact, wide open, looking at the various forms posed by the soldiers, Ling Xia was secretly surprised, he had come to this time for so long, and it was the first time he saw the formation of the art of war, although these were very simple military formations, but they had been separated from simple barbaric battles.

When Ling Xia was watching the soldiers arranging the formation, Du Qijun, Zhang Yixia, Xue Tianlie, and Yan Sanniang were also secretly observing Ling Xia, originally thinking that Ling Xia would be surprised when he saw the formation of the soldiers, but he didn't expect Ling Xia to be calm from beginning to end, and after the exercise, Du Qijun and a few people walked up to Ling Xia and asked him how he felt?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Ling Xia pondered for a moment, and then said bluntly: "With all due respect, the establishment of the Thunder Legion is that the infantry is biased towards special combat soldiers, according to the formation, the soldiers are good at hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand combat, white blades, and surprise attacks, and the weakness is the lack of long-range attack power, if you encounter cavalry, charioteers, archers and other troops, it is easy to suffer." ”

Hearing Ling Xia's evaluation, Zhang Yixia and the others were obviously a little unconvinced, but because the identity of the commander of Ling Xia's army did not say it, although a few people did not say it, but Ling Xia saw their thoughts through the expressions of several people, and after a little hesitation, Ling Xia wrote a handwritten letter on the spot, and after writing and sealing it, Ling Xia asked Du Qijun to send someone to Ziyanjiang.

"Send the letter to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of Ziyanjiang, personally hand it over to Commander Yue Qianfeng, and ask him to inform Ji Mo, Lao Cui, the five Luo brothers, Situ Chenfeng, Jiang Hailiu, Huya, and Mu Guying, and ask them to report to the Eastern Theater immediately, and when they arrive, let them compare with the soldiers of the legion."
