Chapter 224: The Matter of Bereavement (3)

After a simple dinner, he fell asleep, and when the chicken crowed three times the next day, Li Yanzhi had already gotten up. When he wrote a letter and called a soldier to send it to the county government quickly, he reported to Xin Taishou about the situation in the county and his temporary county order affairs on his behalf, and then went to the back hall to wake up the general. He occupies the magpie's nest in the county government, but he doesn't know how the county commander Zhang will feel if he suddenly returns one day.

The county order is not there, and the officers in the county government are also uncertain. Most of the people in the establishment are completely gone. Li Yanzhi went to the county lieutenant Chu again and asked him to call all the errand officers who were still in the county government to gather in the courtyard. At a cursory glance, there were only more than ten people. Among them even included four or five people who were in charge of cooking. In a huge county government, most of them are now short of staff, but this house is the most neat.

Li Yanzhi knew that the reason why the room was the most neat was not that they were all loyal. It's just that although the county order is not there now, there is still a lot of grain in the county government. Now they are staying in the county government, but they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. The thing of opening a small stove behind the scenes is definitely not less. With a sigh in his heart, he no longer had much hope for these scattered county government officials.

Now I am going to go to all the squares in the county and outside the county to check whether these fallen soldiers have omissions and whether they have impersonations. With the twenty or so people under his command alone, he is a little weak. I visited and registered one by one, but I don't know what year and month it has been. Mixing these generals with these dozen or so loose officers, and then issuing warrants, and transferring a team of non-commissioned officers from the battalion to assist, things could have been easier.

Thinking of this, he ordered the generals and servants outside the hospital to wait for a while, then got up and returned to the front of the case, hurriedly sharpened a pool of ink, and wrote a warrant with a wave. A group of soldiers from the camp was ordered to come to the county government without weapons. and immediately handed it over to Qin Dayong, ordered him to go to the camp, and handed over the warrant to Zhou Xing. Anyway, when his party entered the camp yesterday, Zhou Xingyi faction was condescending and respectful, which made Li Yanzhi laugh dumbly when he recalled it.

Qin Dayong was ordered to go, and Li Yanzhi disrupted and mixed these generals in the courtyard. Those under him were forced by him to attend literacy classes in the army. According to the roster, which was registered by region yesterday, it should not be a difficult task to check the facts of the fallen soldiers in the various villages. They were divided into team leaders. When asked if Tao Heng was illiterate, the lieutenant general of the Longxi Army shook his head in shame. Li Yanzhi could only put him and two Longxi pawns and one errand officer under the leadership of Liu Jiwu.

Li Yanzhi asked the four people in the room and one of the officers in charge of chopping firewood to stay in the county government, except for these people, the rest of the officers were also divided and mixed with the generals. and informed several subordinates who led the team of the Lifang area he had demarcated for each team one by one. There was general reluctance on the faces of the officers. Originally, I stayed in the county government and was so uncomfortable. Now that he has to lead the way for a group of big-headed soldiers to do such drudgery, he can't help but complain about Li Yanzhi in his heart. Li Yanzhi looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't break it, just smiled faintly.

After assigning the task and handing it over to the roster of the corresponding region of each leading officer, Li Yanzhi said with a smile: "You have worked hard today. If the errand is done well, go back to the county government in the evening, and Li will invite everyone to eat and drink. If the errand is not good, Li will invite everyone to eat sticks! I don't know what kind of rules Zhang Mingfu is, but I am in the army, so I only know military law! Meritorious service will be rewarded, and excessive punishment will be given. Even the old subordinates who have been following me should not rely on their qualifications to neglect their official duties, otherwise they will not blame me for turning my face and being ruthless! ”

These people who have been following Li Yanzhi know how temperamental he is. Seeing the expressions of the county officials, they all knew that these words were addressed to them. However, these old subordinates themselves did not dare to slack off at all, and they were all in a hurry.

After a while, Qin Dayong had already returned from his own camp, and he also brought a team of foot soldiers dispatched by Zhou Xing. These sergeants all came without a blade according to Li Yanzhi's instructions. Li Yanzhi walked out of the county government and inspected these soldiers. The Guangwu Army is now quite arrogant, regardless of the generals, everyone is wearing armor and the military appearance is neat, but it is far less than the elite of the state governance led by Han Pu. Compared with the Guangwu army, the Lingju County soldiers are far inferior.

Li Yanzhi saw that only half of these county soldiers were wearing leather armor. There is such a thing as a sleeve armor, and only the leader of the team has a collar on his body. In my heart, I already have a bottom in my heart about what army I will lead in the future.

Today, the county soldiers are still essentially world soldiers, and they belong to the tun army. This kind of half-ploughing and half-fighting army really does not dare to guarantee its combat effectiveness when it comes to reasoning. It was in the Jincheng camp that these Lingju county soldiers were defending the countryside, and that kind of performance could be regarded as an extraordinary performance. And the Yongdeng County soldiers who came to support when the battalion was almost exhausted, because most of them were composed of displaced people from Guanzhong and Longxi, their combat effectiveness was indeed much higher than those soldiers recruited by Lingju County.

In addition, Lingju County was originally not a wealthy county. In terms of armaments, except for those things that rely on state governance, there is naturally no spare energy to make them themselves. Therefore, whether it is in terms of armament or personnel, the army he is about to lead is not an elite with potential.

Li Yanzhi can now be regarded as understanding the painstaking efforts of Zhang Yuanjun to send envoys to seek peace. In today's state of Liangzhou, even if it can hold this attack, it will be difficult to resist Liu Zhao's next attack. Zhang Yuanjun didn't just use a large number of goods for himself in exchange for a bunch of useless empty checks from Liu Zhao. He also used this peace to buy time for Liangzhou, to strive for the opportunity for development, and also to win an opportunity to wait for a good opportunity.

Maybe in Jincheng, Guangwu, and even Guzang before, Li Yanzhi's experience of these things was not deep enough, but now, when he really saw the usual state of these county soldiers, he understood. It turns out that sometimes, peace is not necessarily a traitor. And words and wars in disregard of the situation are irresponsible behaviors for the country and the country.

He didn't know when the next crisis in the land beneath his feet would come. However, he could only do his best to correct some of the problems that the army had shown in this war when the next crisis came, so that he could deal with the next crisis as calmly as possible.

The team leader sent to lead the team in the big camp was named Zhao Da. As the name suggests, this person's family is by no means a family that can provide an educational environment. However, Li Yanzhi still routinely asked him if he was literate, and after receiving a negative answer, Li Yanzhi organized the team of soldiers he brought into each team, and then incorporated him into the team he led.

After the formation was completed, with Li Yanzhi's order, each team set off separately, and under the leadership of the messengers in each team, they walked in the direction of Lifang that they needed to go to. Liu Jiwu worked hard all day yesterday to help sort out the roster, and Li Yanzhi took special care of him and arranged him to visit him in the city. The rest of the nine teams went out of the city.
