"Han General?" Lao Luo stopped, this was something he didn't expect, he thought that as a party member, Li Deming would not use Han people as generals, so he didn't care about the identity of the captives, "Tell me who they are and what the situation is?" ”

"Yes, Lord." Li Zheng promised and continued: "There are a total of fourteen generals among the prisoners of the Dingyan Army, except for two who are party members, the remaining twelve are Han Chinese, the highest position is similar to a school captain, a thousand people of the same kind, the lowest is Qu Chang, they are called Bai Chang, and the two of them are three hundred captains who ask to see you. It is said that they are all Han people from Lingzhou or Xiazhou. ”

Listening to this kind of story, Lao Luo became interested, "What do you think of these people?" ”

"The general, a certain dare not evaluate without authorization, and the master will understand it if he sees it." Li Zheng won't say anything more in this regard, he is basically temporarily assigned by Lao Luo to identify prisoners, and he is seconded, and he knows Lao Luo's idea of preparing for the separation of civil and military affairs, so he naturally doesn't want to get too involved in the army.

This is a cautious and smart man, Lao Luo commented from the bottom of his heart, and said quietly: "Let them come." ”

Because of the difference in manpower, Lao Luo didn't expect to be able to capture a fully formed army at the beginning, it is obvious that more than 10,000 Dingyan troops were captured, and the bottom level is not counted, but there are only a dozen middle-level officers captured, and the others are destined to either die or escape, in this empty field, anything is possible, but it is not surprising.

After a while, five Han people who were washed and dressed in linen robes walked over, the reason why they are Han people is an indescribable temperament, just like the same oriental face in later generations, the difference in expression between the rabbit party and the foot basin chicken. In Lao Luo's opinion, the few people who walked in front of him were very different from the grassland tribe in terms of stride and demeanor, some were similar to Guan Hexi or Yan Songming, and they were completely different from the humble and cowardly or arrogant expressions on the grassland.

In Lao Luo's attentive and even scrutinizing gaze, the five people walked slowly but steadily in front of Lao Luo seven or eight steps away, and then invariably saluted with one leg and half kneeling, "Surrender generals Wang Nan, Lu Shouren, Wei Mang, Ouyang Jun, and Meng Bohu have seen General Luo!" ”

The Chinese dialect of several people is very similar to the accent along the Yellow River in later generations, and they are obviously used to signing up like this, so that Lao Luo listens to a novelty, and then carefully looks at the five people, Lao Luo noticed some different places, in addition to the uneven height, they are generally stronger than the average captive, led by Wang Nan and Lu Shouren, each has a golden mark with words on their foreheads, Wei Mang is the thickest guy among them, with a beard, and a very dazzling scar on the left cheek, Ouyang Jun was the most outstanding in appearance, his face looked like a scholar, but a pair of thick arms betrayed him - that was not something ordinary literati could have, Meng Bohu was obviously a mixed race, with brown pupils and sunken eye sockets and curly hair, which were by no means pure oriental blood.

"A few people don't have to be polite, stand up and speak, General Ben doesn't have this kind of kneeling etiquette here!" It is necessary to follow the customs of the locals, Lao Luo switched his self-address and said.

The five kneeling men exchanged glances with each other and stood up.

Wang Nan, who was obviously the leader, opened his mouth and said: "General Xie forgives the last general for being disrespectful, and the last general just wants to ask where the general wants to stay?" But do you want to vote for Zhao Song? Or defect to Northern Liao? ”

"How about defecting to Zhao Song? How about not casting? The performance of several people made Lao Luo's eyes light up, and the style was also the straightforward military style that he agreed with, but it did not mean that he would directly answer the other party's questions, the oriental environment was complex and I didn't understand, and these people in front of him were only meeting for the first time, it was difficult to guarantee that these people would not be spies of a certain force, Lao Luo's vigilance had never been lowered.

Wang Nan glanced at Ouyang Jun beside him, who stepped forward and said: "General, a certain number of people are people who escaped from Zhao Song, they can't go back to Zhao Song, and they hate Northern Liao deeply, so they went to the Dingyan Army to make a living, and now they are captured by the general, and naturally their lives belong to the general, but they ...... If the general wants to vote for Song Liao, please forgive us for being difficult to obey, and the punishment depends on the general! ”

"Why did you escape from Zhao Song? I heard that Zhao Song is prosperous far beyond other places, can't it be for you to make a living? "Don't blame Old Luo Duoxin, the fate of nearly 100,000 people under his command is on his shoulders, and he can't help but be not serious.

"This ......" Ouyang Jun hesitated.

"The last will come!" Later, Wang Nan stood in place and bowed with his fists, and said very calmly: "General, the last general was originally a partial general of the Yongxing Army, and he was robbed of his military merits by Shangguan, but after returning home, he was slandered as a deserter, and he had no choice but to kill the county lieutenant and the Shangguan who colluded with Shangguan...... Zhao Song has no place to live. ”

Lao Luo looked at the gold seal on Wang Nan's head was a faint word "Yong", guessed that what the other party said was probably true, turned his head and looked at Lu Shouren, who also had a gold seal, the pattern on it was the word "Shun", so he opened his mouth and asked: "Yong is the Yongxing Army, what is Shun, General Lu?" ”

"I didn't dare to call myself a general, my post was originally subordinate to the Shun'an Army, and he was once Du Yu Hou (1), but because of the seizure of the letter and newspaper by the military supervisor, which delayed the fighter, and the post was escorted back to Tokyo on the way, he was rescued by his brother Wei Mang, and he did not dare to return to his hometown, so he fled west into the Dingyan Army in desperation." Lu Shouren had a round face, a mustache on his lips, and a pair of eyes that were very firm when he spoke.

Lao Luo carefully measured this Lu Shouren, the other party is only 1.75 meters tall, about 30 years old, but he has long arms and legs, which is obviously suitable for running and dexterous movements, and he can do this kind of position, and he is obviously an elite. Lao Luo felt that this person was somewhat similar to his former profession, "In this way, the other three also have unspeakable secrets?" ”

"Yes, general, Ouyang was originally a military Chinese official, once belonged to the Ninghua army Qian Liang Cao, but later because of the supervision of grain and grass and the entanglement with the three envoys of Taiyuan Prefecture, it was unbearable when he was wronged, so he and his colleagues broke out of prison and fled, and the former colleagues, only the remaining subordinate and Meng Bohu brothers." Ouyang Jun, who was closest to Lao Luo, did not hesitate, and concisely told his past.

Yongxing Army, Anshun Army and Ninghua Army, the former Lao Luo has some understanding, and the latter two are not very clear, I think it should be Zhao Song's border army, but it is just ...... Hehe, Lao Luo's heart was contemptuous, and there didn't seem to be a big difference from what he thought, "Okay, it's okay to talk to you, Ben Jiang has not yet decided whether to defect to Zhao Song, but the preliminary plan is to find a piece of land to settle in the land of Lingxia, as for how to deal with Zhao Song in the future, although you can rest assured, Ben will never treat his own people who do things with peace of mind!" ”

The five people looked at each other and exchanged glances, although they were a little helpless, they all knelt down on one knee again and shouted in unison: "I am willing to serve the general!" ”

Lao Luo's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "The effect of death is not true, the general will never assign his subordinates to the task of death, but the military discipline is strictly ordered, no one is allowed to commit a crime, and the military salute is the same!" Stand up and don't have to say anything more, right? ”

"Whoa!" The five of them hurriedly got up.

"You and others are all born in the army, when you understand the ethics of military orders, when you join our army, there will be someone to explain military orders and military discipline for you, although the merit pension still needs to be improved, but it is also the capable and the mediocre, and it is never allowed to favor favoritism, can there be any objections?" It's not that Lao Luo deliberately pretends to be strict, but given that several people have been in the Song Army and the Dingyan Army, he doesn't want the other party to have any bad habits that affect the team that has just seen the prototype.

"Obey the general's order, and dare not violate the rank!" In the end, he was once the elite of the army, and his words and intentions were not ordinary.

"Well, go ahead." There was nothing more to say for the time being, and Lao Luo waved them down.

"Retirement!" Again neat words.

……

After Li Zheng also said goodbye and left Lao Luo's side, seeing that Alki, who had always been following him, thoughtfully, Lao Luo asked, "What do you think?" ”

"There are a lot of words they don't understand, and the etiquette in the army is neater than ours, and it looks good." As a close confidant of Lao Luo, Alki naturally dares to say and do.

"Well, let's get used to this kind of thing," this kind of thing can't be helped, it is like this in the army in later generations, there are too many things for soldiers from the south to come together in a military camp to make jokes, and it is nonsense to want to promote Mandarin in a short period of time, but it is not wrong that the etiquette in his own team needs to be improved, so Lao Luo continued: "Later, you can talk to Sidek about etiquette and ask them to discuss how to standardize." ”

"Yes, Lord!"

"Also, go and tell Li Zheng that after seven days of training, Wang Nan arranged to enter the garrison camp, Lu Shouren entered the scout camp, and Ouyang Jun ...... Send it to Stan, Wei Mang and Meng Bohu to choose, and in addition, you arrange for a few safe people to keep an eye on their daily actions, and respond in time if there is something. ”

"Obey, Lord!"

Because he belongs to the military that attaches importance to actual combat, Lao Luo did not pay much attention to military etiquette in later generations, but it is different in this era, what he wants to do is to build an army from scratch, in order to improve cohesion, etiquette norms This kind of detail that can enhance the sense of honor must also be paid attention to.

Storing manpower is a rigid need, and it will definitely have an impact on the combat effectiveness for a period of time in the future, but it cannot be left out.

As for the arrangement of details, it does not matter whether trust or suspicion is concerned, and the collection of so many prisoners is destined not to be all enemies, nor can it be expected that they will become their own people immediately, but the monitoring and observation period that should be there is a must. Lao Luo didn't know if he was doing it completely right, and he didn't have this kind of experience in later generations, so he could only try to do it.
