The soldiers disbanded in a burst of suspicion, of course they wanted to eat a full meal after being hungry for a few days, even if they were full, let them die immediately, I am afraid that many people would be willing, but when Zhao Ziliang and his party came, they didn't seem to bring anything, what to make dinner?

"Eh, did you say that the new general is talking about white teeth, where did he get the food for us to cook and eat?"

"That is, there are sixty of them in all, only horses, and he must have lied to us if he didn't see them bring grain and grass and baggage!"

"I don't understand, why did he lie to us? If he doesn't have food for us to eat by then, won't he have to go to the goofs? He didn't need that! ”

"You just save some energy, I've been hungry for a few days, drink cold water every day, yes, now it's all water, and I'm pulling it so that Lao Tzu's face is sallow and sallow!"

One by one, the soldiers walked weakly to the barracks, some of them were still talking, and most of them had little hope of eating.

Seeing the soldiers disperse one by one, Wang Rare hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "General, you shouldn't say this, it's not time now, there are less than two hours, where do you let us go to get food for 3,000 people, if it is not fulfilled by then, General, you are only afraid that WeChat will sweep the floor, and I am afraid that it will provoke the soldiers to blow up the camp!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Give the soldiers a few days of food, the general still has a way, when he came to Liangzhou to ask to see the festival envoy Wang, Lord Wang clearly told a certain person, he wants to find a way to make food, a certain can be packed here, you don't have to worry about the food problem, a certain will solve the problem of insufficient food and grass, the problem now is that the soldiers are affected by the defeat of the battle, morale is low, combat effectiveness is low, how to restore morale as soon as possible, improve the combat strength of the army, this is the key. General Wang, inform the lieutenant colonel and above to attend the military meeting hall to participate in the military meeting! ”

When he came from Chang'an, just in case, Zhao Ziliang had already stored a batch of grain, grass and meat in the wrench space, just in case of emergency, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly. However, this batch of grain, grass and meat is not very much, and it is only enough for 3,000 people to eat for seven days, and if there is no food and grass within seven days, the Great Dou Army will still be hungry. However, Zhao Ziliang already has some ideas about this problem.

It is rare for Wang to know why Zhao Ziliang has so much confidence. I don't know where he went to get food for 3,000 people in such a short period of time, but now that Zhao Ziliang has been appointed as the envoy of the Great Dou Army, what he said, Wang can only follow it.

Taking advantage of the fact that Wang rarely informed the colonel to go to the council hall for a meeting, Zhao Ziliang took Brehan and some Hu to ride out of the barracks and came to the field, and simply set up some tents, Zhao Ziliang entered the tent to get out the grain and meat in the wrench space one by one, and after doing it, he came out of the tent and told Brehan to take people back and ask the camp to send people to carry food.

When Brehan returned with a large number of soldiers. When I walked into the tent, it was full of food and meat, not to mention the soldiers, and even Blehan jumped for joy. But he was also happy and wondered, where did all this food and meat come from?

Zhao Ziliang didn't give them time to doubt, urging them to immediately carry the food and meat back to the barracks, and he took Nuer and Hu Servants back to the barracks to participate in the military meeting.

The generals who were deliberating heard a lot of cheers outside, and they were all puzzled. Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said: "The grain has been shipped back, so the soldiers are so happy, and the general said that the soldiers will be fed tonight." I will never break my promise, this batch of grain can last for seven days, this general will find a way to get more food in these days, you don't have to worry about the food thing, your next thing is to restore the morale and combat strength of the soldiers, the drill must be carried out, from tomorrow onwards, as long as there are no injured people in the battalion, whether it is a soldier or a general and a captain, they must go out to exercise, and they must practice when they are full of food and drink, otherwise the soldiers will cause trouble, and they have no heart and strength to do something else. They don't have the energy to think about anything else! Now General Ben wants to find out, how many people in the battalion are not injured, how many are injured, plus how many people are in the baggage and the men, of course, the generals' subordinates must also be counted, Wang is rare, can you tell General Ben? ”

Wang rarely stood up and said: "Since the general has a problem, the last general will report to the general in detail now, there are a total of 2,620 soldiers in the battalion who are not injured, 516 are wounded, and there are 160 generals and colonels, plus 50 generals and subordinates, a total of 3,346 people."

"Good! The loss of troops is not too bad, but there are quite a few wounded! Zhao Ziliang said, thought about it and asked: "Is the basic structure and number of each battalion in the army still sound?" Are the generals and adjutant generals of each battalion complete? ”

Wang rarely said: "There were originally five battalions and a baggage regiment in the army, the third battalion was completely annihilated, the other four battalions were more than half of the casualties, the baggage regiment was intact, the commanders of the first battalion and the third battalion were all killed, the adjutant generals of the first, second, and fourth battalions were also killed, and the lieutenants and brigade commanders below were even more seriously damaged!" ”

After listening to Wang's rare introduction, Zhao Ziliang felt that the matter was quite tricky, the Great Dou Army was almost disabled, no wonder the army was discouraged and morale was low, he frowned and touched his chin and thought about it and said to the generals: "The situation is much more serious than General Ben imagined, in order to restore morale and improve combat effectiveness, and also to facilitate command, it is necessary to reorganize the Great Dou Army, General Ben thought for a while, since the commanders of the two battalions were killed in battle, and the soldiers were also seriously damaged, then these two battalions should be abolished, The original second battalion replaced the first battalion, the original second battalion soldiers were added to the first battalion, the former second battalion commander General Du Liandong served as the first battalion lieutenant, and the surplus soldiers remained in the second battalion to merge in the fourth battalion, and the former fourth battalion commander General Xue Kui served as the second battalion lieutenant, the fifth battalion remained unchanged, the name was changed to the third battalion, the first battalion adjutant general was appointed, and Ma Ling was appointed as the second battalion adjutant general, so that the first battalion had two adjutant generals, Geshuhan You had worked in the Chishui Army before, and you were familiar with military affairs. During this time, you work hard, as soon as possible, select some people from the whole army to come out and form a scout camp with the original night guard, your task is to find out the movements of the Tubo people, and report it immediately as soon as you find the Tubo people! The reorganization will be carried out immediately after dinner, and the military Chinese book will do a good job in registering the roster, and you will all work hard, complete the reorganization overnight, and conduct drills in accordance with the newly reorganized organization tomorrow, and the captains and adjutant generals of each battalion will personally take them out for exercise, and General Ben and General Wang will check them one by one, and if anyone who is found to be slack, they will be severely punished! Do you understand everything? ”

All the generals and officials stood up and lined up in three columns to salute, and said loudly: "Obey the general's orders!" ”

With food, including Wang Rare, the hearts of all the generals have been put down, and there is a little worry that the Tubo people are worried that the Tubo people will take advantage of the weakness of the Dadou Army to fight, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to worry about it, or let the soldiers eat and drink enough, recover their strength and some morale, as for the Tubo people, they still have to send someone to investigate, for this matter, Ge Shuhan is very experienced, he stood up and said his thoughts to Zhao Ziliang, that is, to hand over the selected soldiers to the remaining Ye Bu to take, It is equivalent to a veteran leading a new soldier, and now there is no time for the selected soldiers to specialize in learning the skills of not collecting at night, so they can only learn while fighting, and then conduct unified training after the situation stabilizes in the future.

Zhao Ziliang expressed his appreciation and agreement with Ge Shuhan's idea, and explained that when he carried out the reorganization tonight, he would immediately select the people and hand them over to the new city in the southeast direction to investigate after the night was not collected.

After the grain and meat were brought back, the men left some fresh meat, and the other meat was all made into jerky for easy preservation, and the fresh meat was cooked and eaten at night, and after the white flour steamed buns and rice were steamed, a large amount of fragrance soon filled the entire military camp, and the generals and soldiers who had not eaten rice and white flour steamed buns for many days could not help but drool one by one, and their stomachs were gurgling and screaming.

It was just spring, the weather was still very cold, the leaves and young grass had just sprouted a little bit of tender shoots, and all these things in the vicinity were eaten by the soldiers, and the bark of the nearby trees had long been stripped bare, leaving only the trunks without bark.

When the time finally came, the white rice, white flour steamed buns, and meat soup had all been arranged, and the soldiers were all holding bowls and waiting in a line under the organization of the officers to receive food.

Zhao Ziliang, Wang Rare and other generals strode over, standing in front of the soldiers, Wang Rare smiled and said loudly: "Now the soldiers don't have to be hungry, the food is all brought by the general, now please ask the general to say a few words to us!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and stepped forward and said: "I, Zhao Ziliang, am a person who counts my words, everyone can eat enough tonight, but you can't hold on, because you have been eating wild vegetables and tree bark for many days, and your stomach has been damaged, so you can't eat too much, a bowl of white rice, two steamed buns and a bowl of meat slice soup per person, enough for you to eat enough but you won't be able to hold on!" After dinner, we will be reorganized, we have more than 3,000 people, reorganized into three battalions and a baggage regiment, the number of people in each battalion is definitely not satisfied, but at this stage there is no way, we can only reorganize first, and then slowly replenish later. From now on, the question of eating will be handed over to General Ben, and the matter of fighting will be handed over to you, is there any problem? ”

At this time, everyone shouted with all their strength in unison: "Obey the general's orders!" ”

Only one meal restored more than half of the morale of the Great Dou Army, and with just one sentence, it recovered the hearts of all the soldiers of the Great Dou Army! At this moment, Wang Rare and the other generals of the former Great Dou Army were all impressed by Zhao Ziliang, and they no longer dared to despise him. (To be continued.) )
