"Please also ask the general to make it clear!" Zhao Yiming said with a straight face.

He didn't know much about the situation in the wilderness, although he knew that the Marquis of Yongwu must be harboring evil intentions, but it was up to Qu Zhengqi to explain to him what the specific situation was.

Qu Zhengqi also knew Zhao Yiming's situation, and said immediately: "Let me tell you about the distribution of positions in the military camp first, in the army of our Great Xia Empire, generally speaking, there will be ten generals under a martial marquis, and there will be three generals under a general. And below one marquis, there are ten generals. ”

"Among them, although Marquis Wu has the power to order Hou Ye, Hou Ye is in charge of an army alone, has absolute autonomy, and can appoint ten generals under him at will. ”

Zhao Yiming's eyes moved after hearing this, and he suddenly remembered the Eleventh Army that the Marquis of Yongwu told him, and couldn't help asking: "Since there can only be ten generals under a Hou Ye, what is the situation of this Eleventh Army?"

Qu Zhengqi's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no Eleventh Army at all, generally we call it the Cannon Fodder Army!"

"Cannon fodder army?" Zhao Yiming's face suddenly became gloomy, although it was the first time he had heard of the cannon fodder army, but from this name, it could be seen that the meaning of this cannon fodder army represented.

I only heard Qu Zhengqi continue: "The situation in the wilderness is too cruel, there are so many soldiers in the barracks, not every soldier can have firm beliefs, so there are often some soldiers who are defeated by fear and become deserters. In addition, there were some soldiers who had committed mortal military laws, and it would be a pity to kill them, so we all sent them to the cannon fodder army. ”

Qu Zhengqi looked at Zhao Yiming and said, "Do you know the usefulness of the cannon fodder army? Every time we fight with demon beasts, the cannon fodder army has to rush ahead, and once they dare to retreat, they will be attacked by their own side." It can be said that the cannon fodder army is the army we use to consume monsters to send them to death, and every time there is a war, the cannon fodder army loses the most, and even the entire army is a common thing. ”

Zhao Yiming's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and the Marquis of Yongwu arranged him in the cannon fodder army, and sure enough, he was sent to death.

In this way, every time there is a war, he has to rush to the front, who will die if he doesn't die?

"General, I didn't violate military law, and I didn't become a deserter, why did Yongwu Hou let me join the cannon fodder army?" Zhao Yiming said gloomily.

Yongwu Hou smiled bitterly: "If he arranges you into the cannon fodder army as a soldier, then Tianwu Hou will not allow it, but the problem is that he asked you to lead the cannon fodder army, so you were asked to be a general, this is an exceptional promotion of you, Tianwu Hou can't stop Yongwu Hou from promoting you unusually." ”

When Zhao Yiming heard this, his face became even more ugly, this brave martial artist is really powerful, and he was killed with the help of exceptional promotion, ordinary people would not think of this method.

"General, what should I do now? How can I get out of the cannon fodder army?" Zhao Yiming then asked.

He is not an idiot, knowing that if he stays in the cannon fodder army, then he will die on the battlefield sooner or later.

After all, in every war, it is the cannon fodder army that rushes to the front, he can get lucky once, can he still get lucky?

"Meritorious!"

Qu Zhengqi looked at Zhao Yiming and said solemnly: "Your only way is to make meritorious service, as long as you have made great contributions to the promotion of general, you can return to the imperial capital to report on your work." The positions of the ten generals under the command of the Marquis of Yongwu are already full, and as long as you are promoted to general, it is impossible to be transferred to the command of the Marquis of Yongwu. ”

Zhao Yiming nodded when he heard this, and at present, it seems that he only has this way. However, he thought more than Qu Zhengqi, once he reached the realm of change and made a great contribution to the promotion of general, then he could take the opportunity to go back and wake up the second prince, and when the time came, as long as the second prince said a word, would he still be afraid of Shenwu Marquis?

"Thank you for the general's reminder, Zhao understands. Zhao Yiming saluted Qu Zhengqi respectfully in front of him, this person was not thin on him, even if there was a relationship with instructor Wang Zhan, but it also made him very grateful.

"Be careful yourself, alas!" Qu Zhengqi sighed, although he reminded Zhao Yiming, but he knew the situation of the cannon fodder army, I am afraid that Zhao Yiming will not talk about meritorious service, and it will be good to be able to survive.

Thinking of this, Qu Zhengqi reminded in a low voice: "When you enter the cannon fodder army, it is best to find a way to control the soldiers in the cannon fodder army, no matter what method you use, you must also control them." The battlefield is not a one-man battlefield, as long as you have full control of the cannon fodder army, you can let them die for you, and you just have to hide behind. ”

This is a bit taboo, if it weren't for Wang Zhan's relationship, Qu Zhengqi would never have said it to Zhao Yiming.

"Thank you General for mentioning!" Zhao Yiming's pupils shrank and saluted respectfully again.

Qu Zhengqi waved his hand and turned to leave.

Zhao Yiming looked at Qu Zhengqi's back, and couldn't help but shake his head and whispered: "General, although you are thinking about me, I, Zhao Yiming, have my own principles for dealing with people, and I can be ruthless to the enemy, but the soldiers in the cannon fodder army have no grievances with me, and I will not let them die for me." ”

Qu Zhengqi's words, Zhao Yiming did not agree.

The soldiers in those cannon fodder armies may have been deserters, or they may have violated military law, but they fought in the wilderness after all.

These people, even if they make mistakes, they will also be dealt with by military law, and Zhao Yiming will not let them become his sacrifice objects.

Of course, if those people were Shenwu Hou or Yongwu Hou's subordinates, then he would definitely not show mercy.

However, these people can't think about it as Shenwu Hou and Yongwu Hou's subordinates, after all, how could they let their subordinates enter the cannon fodder army, even if they make mistakes, they will help wash them up.

"Yongwu Hou, let's see, even if I enter the cannon fodder army, I will survive. ”

Zhao Yiming glanced at the hall of the Marquis of Yongwu, his eyes were sharp, and his face was cold.

Immediately, he turned and left, heading for the cannon fodder army.

......

The cannon fodder battalion is very simple, and the soldiers of the other battalions have stone houses to live in, while the soldiers of the cannon fodder battalion are locked in a large mountain fence, they have no tiles to shelter from the wind and rain, and they can only sleep on the ground, and the living environment is very bad.

Zhao Yiming frowned as soon as he came in, this is simply a place for prisoners to live, but the soldiers here are indeed prisoners.

"General Zhao!"

Just as Zhao Yiming walked into the cannon fodder army barracks, a brigadier general came over with some soldiers.

This is a middle-aged man, burly, majestic, and his eyes are sharp, but when his eyes looked at Zhao Yiming, a sneer flashed.

"Are you?" Zhao Yiming looked at the brigadier general in front of him, his face was indifferent, because he didn't need to guess, he knew that the brigadier general in front of him must be a person from Yongwu Hou.

"General Zhao, my name is Ding Zhiyong, and I am in charge of guarding the cannon fodder army. Ding Zhiyong showed a hint of abuse and said.

"Guards?" Zhao Yiming's face sank.

Ding Zhiyong didn't seem to see Zhao Yiming's face, he sneered: "Of course it is to prevent these prisoners from escaping, after all, they have committed a military law that will kill them, who knows if they will escape?" And I was ordered to guard the cannon fodder army, and the Marquis of Yongwu had an order, but all the people in the cannon fodder army were not allowed to go out except during the war." ”

Zhao Yiming's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were gloomy: "Even I can't go out?"

Ding Zhiyong looked at Zhao Yiming with a smile, then shook his head and said: "General Zhao said that he was joking, I have received an order from the Marquis of Yongwu, you are the general of the cannon fodder army, you are different from them, you are free." ”

Zhao Yiming took a deep breath, it seems that the Marquis of Yongwu is still very jealous of the Marquis of Tianwu, and he does not dare to do it so thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiming said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then take your people and leave, this will be my military camp from now on, and my military camp will naturally be in charge of me, no one can interfere, and you don't need to lead troops to guard it." ”

Ding Zhiyong squinted his eyes when he heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "General Zhao, it is the order of the Marquis of Yongwu to guard the cannon fodder army, and if they escape alone, you can't afford it." ”

"Putting me in charge of the cannon fodder army is also an order from the Marquis of Yongwu!"

Zhao Yiming stared at Ding Zhiyong in front of him with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "I can guarantee that no soldier of the cannon fodder army will escape, if there is, I can let the military law deal with it." ”

"Okay!" When Ding Zhiyong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he seemed to be afraid that Zhao Yiming would regret it, and hurriedly said: "Since there is General Zhao's words, then I will rest assured, let's go." ”

After saying that, he left with his soldiers without looking back.

Zhao Yiming snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards a group of cannon fodder soldiers not far away.

As soon as he swept his eyes, he found that there were more than 3,000 soldiers in this barracks, and the cultivation of these people was not low, all of them were above the True Martial Realm, and there were even two martial artists from the Transformation Realm, which really surprised him.

I have to say that the strength of this cannon fodder army is not weak, which is also normal, after all, only the strong dare to commit crimes, and those weak people don't even have the ability to be deserters.

Therefore, the soldiers of the cannon fodder army are at least in the real martial realm.

However, Zhao Yiming also discovered that although the soldiers of the cannon fodder army in front of him were not weak, they were either unruly or lifeless, and from their eyes, Zhao Yiming only saw the word 'despair'.

Obviously, they all knew that they were going to die sooner or later, and they had completely given up the desire to live.

"If they themselves give up hope of survival, then once they go to war, they will definitely die. Zhao Yiming frowned, thinking in his heart.

He knew that with the mentality of these people, once they went to the battlefield, even if they had ten percent of their strength, they might only be able to exert three or four percent, because they had already given up on themselves.

However, it is not easy to change the minds of these people.

After all, this is a group of people who are waiting to die, and you expect them to muster up courage and cheer up their spirits, which is simply a fool's dream.

Zhao Yiming couldn't help frowning, thinking about countermeasures in his mind, Qu Zhengqi was right about one thing, that is, the battlefield is not a one-person battlefield, but a battlefield of an army.

If Zhao Yiming wants to survive, then he must unite these soldiers and let them fight side by side with him.
