Chapter 84: Taking the Opportunity to Take Charge of the Army

"Knock・・・・・・knock・・・・・・knock・・・・・・" There was a huge drum beat on the school ground, and the soldiers, commanders and other military leaders who were drinking, gambling, and sleeping in the barracks were stunned when they heard the drums, but soon someone reacted and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Get dressed up and get out on the go! ”

Suddenly there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the barracks, the black lights were blind, and they couldn't be seen, and people bumped into each other, scolding and screaming, which was too noisy.

The assembly was finally completed, and about a quarter of an hour had passed in the hustle and bustle, and at this time, the lieutenants and officials of the garrison who had been notified had arrived almost one after another. Under the command of Huo Kan, the servants brought by Zhao Ziliang lit torches around the school grounds, illuminating the entire school grounds.

Zhao Ziliang saw that it was almost over, everything that should have come had arrived, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come if he didn't come, so he took a few steps forward and shouted: "Everyone is quiet!" ”

This roar was like the sound of thunder, and the entire school field was suddenly silent.

"This will be the new guard envoy and guerrilla general Zhao Ziliang! Just now, a gang of bandits attacked the prison in the city and released all the hundreds of prisoners and bandits in the prison! Lang Lang Qiankun, in broad daylight, actually attacked the prison and robbed the prison, is this still the world of the Tang Dynasty? What a daredevil, these bandits! This matter was originally a matter for the city defense army, but the city defense army was not numerous, and the city lord asked my garrison to send troops to assist the city guard army in arresting all those prisoners and bandits! Now, General Ben ordered that the first battalion stay in the barracks, and the other battalions should divide the area, search and arrest in groups, and set up checkpoints at various street intersections, and immediately arrest all suspicious people, and if they resist, they will be killed! Who is the officer on duty in the barracks today? ”

A captain stood up and arched his hand: "General Yu, subordinate Captain Lei Wu of Zhiguo, is on duty today!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Lei Wu and said: "Since you are the captain on duty, now you are presiding over the matter of assisting the city defense army to capture the fugitives, if you do a good job, this general will repay you for your merits, and it is not a problem to be promoted to the knight, if you can't catch all the fugitives and bandits back before dusk tomorrow, this general needs your head to stand up, do you understand?" ”

Lei Wu heard that his scalp exploded, he didn't expect this kind of drudgery to fall on his head, it was really unlucky, but at this time there was no other way but to comply, and the end of disobeying the order was that his head would fall to the ground on the spot. He hurriedly said: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

The matter was urgent, and Zhao Ziliang did not count the number of soldiers, and directly asked the generals of each battalion to take their own men and horses out of the camp according to the tasks of the division, and each battalion was responsible for the search and arrest of an area.

The garrison of the city is different from that of Tuoyunbao, there are four battalions, 1,200 troops, the first, second, and third battalions, each battalion is 360 people, under the command of a captain, each battalion has two brigades, each brigade has 180 people, and a brigade commander commands, and each brigade has three teams, each team has 60 people, under the jurisdiction of two groups, each group has three tithes, and the fourth battalion is a baggage battalion, with only more than 100 people. The defenders of the city are different from the field army of Shule, which is directly under the Anxi Protectorate, there is no Modao team, and the infantry has no private horses, while the infantry of the Shule army has private horses, and the marching speed is extremely fast.

Two of the first three battalions are infantry battalions, one is a cavalry battalion, and the infantry is divided into pikemen, sword and shield men, everyone is equipped with bows and arrows, and when they are far away from the enemy, they often use bows and arrows to fire a salvo first, and then wait for the rest of the enemy to approach, and then replace them with melee weapons.

Zhao Ziliang said to Huo Kan: "Huo Kan, you take fifty cavalry from this general's command, divide them into five teams and scatter them all over the city, supervise the second and third battalions, if you find someone who takes the opportunity to exploit the people and take it without telling him, no matter how high his military rank is, as long as he is not as high as this general's military rank, he will be arrested!" ”

Huo Kan immediately agreed: "No! ”

After the second and third battalions left the barracks one after another, Zhao Ziliang looked at the first battalion under the stands, then turned his head to look at the officials and officials of the guards and arrest mansions, and then looked at Li Wentong and asked: "Captain Li, until now, who are the generals and officials of the garrison who have not yet arrived?" ”

"This ・・・・・・," Li Wentong hesitated, not daring to speak.

Zhao Ziliang burst into tears: "Say!" ”

Li Wentong was taken aback, he didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "Captain Ma Hanma, the deputy envoy of the guard, Hao Jialin, who joined the army, and Yuwen Changhao, the captain of the first battalion, did not rush here!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Is it because the general's orders were not conveyed or did the people who conveyed them not find them?" ”

"The person ・・・・・・ sent to deliver the military order has not seen them, but they have notified their family or personal entourage!"

"Do they have a business registration?"

Li Wendao: "No! ”

Zhao Ziliang had a calm face and said to Li Wendao: "Continue to send people to inform them to rush to the Capture Mansion to discuss the matter, and the general will give them another two moments, if they have not arrived at the Capture Mansion within two moments, it will be disobeying the military order, even if His Majesty the Emperor wants to protect them!" Go ahead! ”

"No!"

When the generals and officials saw Zhao Ziliang's words, they were all silent, and said that this new guard made the adults afraid that they would not get along well, but fortunately they came just now, if they didn't come like Ma Han and others, they were afraid that they would have been remembered by this General Zhao at the moment, which was not a good thing!

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Who has the highest rank in the first battalion now?" ”

A lieutenant stood up and saluted: "Your subordinate Huaihua Zhonghou Liang Qi is the highest rank person in the first battalion present, and he has seen the general!" ”

Huaihua Zhonghou is under the seventh grade, and he is the same rank as the deputy lieutenant of Zhiguo. Zhao Ziliang nodded, pointed at Liang Qi and said: "Now you are temporarily in charge of the first battalion, just now when General Ben entered the barracks, he couldn't see a single sentry at the gate, and there was no patrol inside and outside the barracks, is this still a barracks?" It's a vegetable garden! Nothing to do with people can enter if they want to, and they can get out if they want to, what do you think of this as resistance? If General Ben discovers that people are entering and leaving the barracks at will, General Ben will only ask, anyone who enters and leaves the barracks must have a military order from the Shangguan, and the second and third battalions that went out just now to assist the city defense army in arresting the fugitives would not have been able to return to the camp without the military order of the general, and from now on, if any soldiers and generals return to the camp, they will all be arrested by the general and wait for the general to deal with them, do you understand? ”

Liang Qi immediately said: "Obey the general's order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang walked down the stage and said, "The officials of the Guarding Mansion and the other captains will go to the Guarding Mansion with this general to discuss matters!" others etc.

Liang Qi did not dare to slack off, restrained the officers and men of the first battalion from standing still, and only began to arrange sentry posts and patrols after Zhao Ziliang and other officials and his subordinates left. Because Zhao Ziliang had just taken office, the officials and captains of the military camp couldn't figure out his temper, but from Zhao Ziliang's murderous words just now, many people still found out that this uncle was only afraid that he was not a good gentleman, although he was young, but his deeds were spread throughout the four towns of Anxi, and he dared to raid the master of the five thousand horses with three hundred cavalry, how could this kind of person be easy to provoke? So the officers and military academies clamped their tails one by one.
