Jing Ran can't wait to see this army that is about to belong to him, but he also knows that with the mentality of these generals of the Jinyang Army, although he promised to lend troops to him, it will still be a little troublesome if it is really implemented, so he can only let Li Ren and Baoyu run again.

A day later, things have also made relatively great progress, 5,000 men and horses have basically been gathered, and the most important thing is that Jiang Yue asked the scouts to send 500 troops to the scout army, and everyone led the horses.

After Jing Ran learned about it, he was very happy, and hurriedly hugged the jade and sent Jiang Yue a word: Gao Feng Liang Festival. After Jiang Yue saw this, he was really happy, and immediately sent someone to frame it, Jing Ran couldn't cry or laugh after knowing Jiang Yue's behavior.

At noon, Jing Ran took Baoyu and Li Ren to the improvised military camp to see his soldiers.

But as the saying goes, no matter how much hope there is, how great is disappointment, as soon as he arrived at the barracks and saw his soldiers, Jing Ran's heart was half cold.

Directly, these new troops who were drawn from various military camps were all disheveled, crooked, and some of them were even skinny, making Jing Ran doubt whether he could lift the big knife in Dong's hand. And this is only the infantry, and the real disappointment is the five hundred scouts.

When Jing Ran and his entourage paced in front of the scout barracks, they saw these so-called elites in the army, all of them were lazy, and they didn't even have the voice to greet the king, as for the war horse, it was even more exaggerated, Jing Ran saw that it was fighting the fire: where is this war horse, this is clearly Thomas! The horses all drooped their heads, without any energy.

At this time, let alone Li Ren, even Baoyu's face was a little unbearable.

"The King's ......"

Jing Ran shook his head: "Mr. Li, this ......"

Li Ren was so ashamed that he couldn't even speak: "The king ......"

"Hey, forget it, let everyone above the commander of each army come to see me!"

The staff leader is a middle-level military general of the Chu army, and a staff leader leads 500 people.

Baoyu hurriedly took the order and left, and Jing Ran and Li Ren went to the Chinese army's tent first.

This military camp was established during the Northern Expedition of Emperor Mingguang, at least 30 years ago, because it has been idle, and now the grass on the martial arts field is half a person high. As for the big tent of the Chinese army, it has been cleaned up, but no matter how much it is done, it does not have the appearance of the Chinese army.

Jing Ran: "It seems that you rely on yourself for everything." ”

Li Ren Jingran said that he hurriedly apologized: "Xia Guan didn't expect it to be like this......

Jing Ran: "Sir, don't think too much, the widow means...... Forget it, get someone to get some cleaning tools. ”

Li Ren: "The king...... You're not suitable, you're a multiplier of all vehicles. ”

Jing Ran: "Then what's suitable or inappropriate, if this can be because of the widow's ten thousand times, the widow should drink tea in Chudu now." Go for it. ”

Ignoring Li Ren as he spoke, he cleaned up first.

When Baoyu led the people to come, as soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Jing Ran and Li Ren cleaning up.

"The kings are all here......"

Jing Ran stopped what he was doing, looked at these leaders behind Baoyu, and thought in his heart: These leaders look good, why are these soldiers ......

But he didn't think much about it, and said to the staff: "Don't stand still, let's help the widow and Mr. Li, and we'll talk when we're done." ”

So saying, he shoved a broom in one of the men's hands, and went back to work.

The leader with the broom in his hand stayed for a while, and when he saw that the king was busy, he started to do it himself, and after a while, everyone, including Baoyu, was busy.

And during this period, Jing Ran didn't say a word, just being busy alone.

After a long while, the Zhongjun Festival Hall was finally cleaned, and Jing Ran smiled and said to the counselors:

"It's still comfortable to use the things you pack yourself...... By the way, let's sit down. ”

Seeing that the king in front of him had no fight, the tension in his heart was much less.

Jing Ran motioned to hug the jade to serve tea, and hot tea was placed in front of the congregation.

Jing Ran: "Let's drink some tea first, please." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please with his hands, and one by one, the leaders of the ginseng took their teacups and drank them.

It may be that the drink is refreshing, and they all let out a long breath.

Jing Ran watched them smile and put down the teacup, he was now about to officially start his performance.

"Hello generals, I'm Jing Ran, and I'm the commander of your army, so please take care of me."

As he spoke, he arched his hand towards everyone.

Where did everyone withstand the king saying this, they knew since they were children that the king of the Great Chu State was extremely noble, and now it was a little uncomfortable to be so kind.

"The King's ......"

A counselor wanted to speak, but was stopped by Jing Ran.

Jing Ran: "Come on, let's get to know each other first." Let's come one by one. ”

Jing Ran motioned for the ginseng on his right hand to start.

"My name is Zhao Ye, the leader of the first infantry team, and a member of the party."

"My name is Zhang Xiaosan, and I am the leader of the first team of bows and crossbows. Shangdang people. ”

……

"My name is ...... Shangdang people. ”

"My name is Zhao Mu, the leader of the scout army, and a member of the party."

Jing Ran listened to it, and he heard the taste, he looked at Li Ren, and was a little strange:

"Are you all members of the party?"

The staff leaders nodded for a while, and Zhao Mu, the scout army leader, was even more angry:

"It's okay not to say this, but when you say this, you're angry."

Jing Ran was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”

Zhao Mu: "The king doesn't know, not only my scout army is like this, but now many of the sergeants under the command of the king who are being photographed by various armies are from the party." ”

Jing Ran is puzzled, is it because there is still regional discrimination in the military?

Looking at the other leaders, they were all filled with righteous indignation and their faces were full of resentment.

Zhao Mu continued: "The king, listen to me and wait slowly. ”

Zhao Mu straightened his clothes, paused, and then said:

"The composition of this Jinyang army is relatively complicated, because the entire Hexi region is at the junction of Qin, Zhao, and Chu, and the population flow is large, today in Chu State, tomorrow it will be in Qin State, maybe the day after tomorrow in Zhao State to eat food and become a soldier, so the composition of the Jinyang Army is complex, and it is also very understandable."

A staff leader interjected: "The matter is, originally we were mostly the people of the Shangdang, or doing business, or farming, and there were also people like me who have been soldiers for generations, and I served in the Jinyang army a long time ago, and my life was still passable, but after this Jinyang Marquis came, he replaced our original general with his own people, plus the Shangdang is now in chaos, he has an excuse to prevent internal moles, and squeezed out those of us who are not from the Jinyang system, to be honest, if it weren't for the king's order to form soldiers and horses today, Maybe my brothers and I are still feeding the horses. ’

The more Jing Ran listened, the more strange he became, where was there still a way to squeeze out veterans and weaken his combat effectiveness.

Another staff leader continued: "Don't hide it from the king, many of us are not from the Jinyang system, and even many of us soldiers fled from the party to Jinyang, and then went to be soldiers, and they were looked down upon by the people of the Jinyang department, and they were beaten and bullied at every turn......

As he spoke, he lowered his head and sighed deeply.

Jing Ran glanced at Li Ren, but he didn't expect the current Jinyang Army to become like this.

Jing Ran straightened his clothes, stood up, looked at the leaders and said, "Everyone can rest assured, the widow can guarantee that your life can continue as before, and your power widow can also guarantee that you will not be discriminated against here." The widow does what he says. ”

The staff leaders listened to Jing Ran's words, but they only agreed perfunctorily, without the momentum of a soldier at all, and then Jing Ran chatted with them for a while, and then sent them back.

There are only Jing Ran, Baoyu, and Li Ren in the big tent now.

Li Ren was worried: "King, such a soldier ......"

Baoyu also expressed the same concern of herself: Can such a soldier fight?

Jing Ran smiled slightly: "We can now know that many of them are Shangdang people, and ours will go north to Shangdang after solving the problem in Jinyang, and I believe they will follow me home." ”

Jing Ran paused: "Also, they are soldiers, soldiers are bloody, they are just interrupted now, I have a way to turn them from sheep to wolves." ”

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Baoyu: "Give an order, let Daniel Zhang lead the troops south, as well as those war horses, and our thousand sergeants." ”

Baoyu: "Leader!" ”

Jing Ran suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how are our captive soldiers?" ”

Baoyu smiled slightly: "Back to the king, most of those captive soldiers are from Hexi, and after screening, there are still four hundred people available." What does the king mean? ”

Jing Ran: "Yes, let those people come too, the widows want to form a cavalry, I need them." ”

Baoyu nodded, indicating that she remembered.

"The minister will go and spread the news now."

"Hmm."

Jing Ran thought to himself: You are a group of pigs, and I have to show you how to use the pig killer's knife!

Li Ren was silent and thought about it.

Seeing him like this, Jing Ran asked, "Does the gentleman have a plan?" ”

Li Ren stood up and looked outside the account.

"King, some people need to use the method of agitation, and this is the case with the five thousand men and horses under our command, they will now have no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit, so they will go to the battlefield like this, they will be directly defeated, let alone go to the party, even whether their own lives can be saved has become unknown."

Jing Ran was fascinated by what he heard and nodded frequently: "Then what does Mr. think he should do?" ”

Li Ren said: "King, simply let you lead the army to defeat the vanguard of Northern Chu first, and then I will lead the troops to join you, and tell them with facts that under the leadership of the king, they can return to their hometown!" Now they do not trust anyone at all, and they are not interested in anything, and the only thing that can move them is victory, whether it is a soldier or a general, up to an army, which is to be fed and irrigated with the wine of victory! ”

Jing Ran was overjoyed, because he knew that Li Ren's method was the best way so far, and the training of these five thousand people was the same as that of the ordinary Jinyang army, but they lacked one thing, that is, the dignity of being a soldier and a general.

And such dignity cannot be given to them in words.

But Jing Ran suddenly stared at Li Ren, staring at him like a wolf.

"Can a widow trust a gentleman?"

He suddenly said that because he knew that if he wanted to go to Daniel Zhang's camp, then only Li Ren would control these 5,000 people.

When Li Ren heard Jing Ran's words, he immediately knelt on the ground:

"In Xia Li Ren, as long as the king does not dislike the wisdom of the king, he is willing to serve the king of dogs and horses!"

This is already a real refuge. Jing Ran was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped him up, comforted him with kind words for a while, and immediately called Baoyu again.

"Hug Yu, the widow is going to Daniel Zhang's camp now, pick ten people to follow the widow!"

As he spoke, he began to pack his things and walked towards the door of the tent, hugging Yu with a blank face, but Jing Ran's words he would not disobey, although it was strange, but he had to agree.

"After I leave, everything in the camp is controlled by Mr. Li, you have to cooperate well, and you must not disobey!"

Baoyu was even more blindsided now, he looked at Li Ren, Li Ren smiled at him, Baoyu understood, this guy seems to have been recruited by the king. didn't say much at the moment, and hurriedly agreed.

After a while, Baoyu had already brought ten heavily armed people to Jing Ran, and Jing Ran led the war horse: "Get on the horse!" ”

Li Ren looked at the heroic Jing Ran, and couldn't help liking it in his heart:

"I wish the king an early victory!"

Jing Ran looked at Baoyu and Li Ren on the horse, and smiled:

"Something in the camp, please, sir!"

After speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, he took the lead in turning the horse's head and headed north.

Li Ren and Baoyu looked at the dust raised by Jing Ran and the others, and began to think about what was going on.
