As soon as the news of Jincheng County's rebellion reached Fujiaobao, Li Qin immediately sent all the scouts to Jincheng County to inquire about the news. After listening to the report of Wu Danzi and others, Li Qin convened a meeting of Fujiaobao officers to discuss the matter.

After large-scale construction, all efforts to build the city and build houses, now the Fujiao Fort has been expanded into six castles, with the old Fujiao Fort as the center, and five new castles have been built around, all of which are ridge forts, the fort walls are all three zhang high, and the fort wall of the old Fujiao Fort has also been heightened and reinforced, no longer like a soil fence.

In terms of scale and floor area, Fujiao Fort has surpassed any county seat in Beicheng County, and the population has soared, it has nearly 30,000 people, not only more than any county in Beidi County, and even faintly has the tendency to catch up with Longxian, the people of Hu and Han have it, the population is always increasing, and it is estimated that in the spring of next year, a few new castles will have to be built.

Such a huge scale, of course, must have a matching strength, and if you want to make the strength greater, it is not enough to toss in Beidi County, the sea is inclusive, and you have to absorb human and financial resources outside Beidi County, which is bound to expand, every military and civilian in Fujiao Fort knows that Li Qin's status must go one step further, from the county lieutenant to the state, and Li Qin's status can only rise through foreign wars, so now the first Lingqiang rebellion in Jincheng County undoubtedly provides a good opportunity.

Old Fort Fujiao, the school captain's office.

Although the captain's building is relatively rough, to put it bluntly, it is very simple, but the lobby still has a decent appearance. Li Qin sat at the back of the innermost desk in the lobby, Jia Xu sat at the bottom left of him, while Meng Mu sat at the bottom right, Dian Wei sat at the back of Li Qin's side, and the officers of Fujiao Fort were separated from the left and right, from both sides of the lobby.

The hall was full, and there were dozens of people, silent, waiting for Li Qin to speak.

Li Qin coughed, clapped his hands, and said, "It's snowing, the weather is cold, come on, send hot soup to everyone first, let everyone warm up first." ”

The servants brought hot soup from table to table, and then they all withdrew, closing the door.

There were only officers left in the hall, and Shen Yi's surname was the most urgent, and he didn't drink hot soup, and shouted: "Li Lang, Beigong Boyu rebelled over there in Jincheng County, and General Leng is afraid that it will not work to suppress it, it is estimated that it is possible to transfer our Fujiao Army, what kind of charter is there, Li Lang hurry up and take it out, let us listen to it!" ”

Li Qin said: "It's not a good thing to be transferred to fight, fighting is to kill people, why are you in a hurry!" ”

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Last time I fought with Liu Jiu, we can be regarded as having experience, and now there are more people, if we go to war again, there may not be many casualties." ”

The officers nodded one after another, most of them were veterans who participated in the Lianxian Campaign, and had experienced bloody battles, and they summed up a lot of experience in that battle, which were used in peacetime training, so to speak, if they fought with others again, the Fujiao Army would definitely not have such a high casualty ratio.

Li Qin said: "I hope so, of course, the fewer casualties, the better." Wu Danzi, come over and tell you what you saw and heard in Jincheng County this time. ”

As the leader of the scouts, Wu Danzi is now a military commander, commanding the cavalry units of the Fujiao Army. Listening to Li Qin's words, he hurriedly agreed, and followed Li Qin's example, coughed first, and then said: "I went to Jincheng County this time and found that this Beigong Boyu rebellion is different from the past, it can be said that it is very different......"

Wu Xiaosan said with a smile: "It's different from the past, it's like Beigong Boyu rebelled in the past, and you know everything." ”

Wu Xiaosan is also a military Sima now, and with the rise of his status, he began to ask someone to compile his Wu family tree, which can be regarded as a quasi-wealthy family in Fujiao Fort.

Jia Xu said: "Don't talk nonsense, listen to what the Ukrainian army Sima says." He glared at Wu Xiaosan.

Wu Danzi actually asked someone to compile his own family tree, and he even intended to change his name, wanted to be surnamed Li, and wanted to claim to be Li Qin's distant relative, but Li Qin didn't agree, so the change of name was delayed.

Wu Danzi smiled at Wu Xiaosan and said, "I just know it, what's the matter, can you still eat me?" ”

After a pause, he said: "In the past, Beigong Boyu rebelled, he was a county town, and he withdrew after looting. But this time is different, he has learned what it means to be a battalion step by step, and every time he fights a county town, he sends troops to defend it, and he also appoints officials to manage the people, and does not rob indiscriminately, so his power is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Jia Xu said: "Beigong Boyu laid down three county seats, and after gaining a firm foothold, he immediately surrounded Yunwu County, which is the practice of directly taking the middle palace, if he once he defeated Yunwu County, Jincheng County will have no county guard, and there will be chaos in various places, and he is very likely to occupy the entire Jincheng County at the end of this year." ”

Officers, look at me, I look at you, and said one after another: "Why did this Beigong Boyu suddenly become smarter, if he had rebelled with this method before, maybe he would really be able to become a climate!" ”

Wu Danzi said: "We are scouts, if we can only find out these bright news, then we won't be called scouts." I personally mixed into the Qiang people, inquired in many ways, and learned that Beigong Boyu had a new military division, this military division was extremely good, and all the matters of the rebellion were planned by this military division, this military division was a common person of my Han family, not a Qiang person, named Han Sui, a native of Jincheng County, and knew a lot about the details of Jincheng County, so he was able to hit it with one blow, surrounded Yunwu County, and forced the county guard to ask for help from Long County. ”

"Han Sui? Who is that, I haven't heard of it! Shen Yi and the others asked each other, and none of them had heard of the name Han Sui.

Li Qin said: "This Han Sui is engaged in the former Jincheng County, and his original name is Han Yue. ”

The officers suddenly realized that Han Sui was grandstanding in Longxian County, and he was tired of getting tired of Li Qin in public, everyone knew about this, but they didn't expect this person to rebel and become Beigong Boyu's military advisor.

When Zhao Zheng heard the word Han Yue, his face changed, and he turned pale, he didn't kill Han Sui at the beginning, except for Jia Xu, he didn't tell anyone about it, and it was regarded as a great shame in this life.

Li Qin said: "General Leng is nominally my teacher, the teacher is in difficulty, of course I, as a student, have to help, and according to the news that I came back, I am afraid that the 10,000 soldiers he brought will not be able to solve Beigong Boyu, so I will send troops to Fujiao Fort sooner or later, maybe the warrant for the transfer of troops will be delivered in a few days." ”

He looked at the officers present and said loudly, "Gentlemen, you are ready for an expedition!" He was asking, but in an affirmative tone.

The officers replied in unison: "Ready, always ready!" ”

Li Qin clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then let's have a big performance for the whole army and do a good job as a pre-war commander." In addition, General Meng is responsible for the allocation of grain, grass, armaments, etc. ”

Meng Mu immediately replied: "My subordinates will do their best!" "He is also in the position of military Sima now, and his promotion is not as fast as that of the old Fujiao soldiers, and he has always been in charge of logistics. However, Li Qin said that he was the first person in the military commander, if there is a chance to be promoted in the future, he will also give priority, no matter what, fighting a war is to fight logistics, especially the regimental operation, the larger the scale, the heavier the logistics pressure, so Meng Mu's burden is not only not lighter than the combat general, but heavier.

After discussing the specific matters, the meeting was dismissed and each went down to prepare.

After two days of preparation, and on the third day, the new army of the Fujiao Army held its first and last big drill after its establishment.

As soon as the day dawned, Yusuke personally brought the officials to watch, in the past, he came to inspect the Fujiao Army's performance, but now it can only be said that it is a cheer, the Fujiao Army has been completely out of the control of his county guard, and Yusuke can only be a bystander.

On the performance field, a new earthen wall was built, the earthen wall was very strong, and it was also very high, almost as high as the city wall of the county seat, twenty zhang long, and in the middle of the earthen wall, a city gate was repaired, which was exactly the same as the city gate of the county seat, and a soil ditch was built in front of the earthen wall, which was regarded as a moat, but because the weather was cold, the river water could not be injected, so this moat was just a decoration, but the people poured water on the front and back of the ditch, and made the front of the earthen wall slippery.

Behind the earthen wall, there is a fort city of Fujiao Fort, Li Qin, Tang Jie, Jia Xu and others are all on the fort city, watching the performance.

Tang Jie looked at the performance arena and said to Li Qin: "Li Lang, I'm afraid your army has more than 5,000 people now, right?" This official has no other meaning, but your army is beyond the establishment, and the soldiers led by the county lieutenant shall not exceed five, if the establishment is exceeded, I am afraid that someone in the DPRK will have to impeach you, especially some people who have long looked at you unpleasantly! ”

This is a kind reminder, of course Tang Jie knows that He Jin doesn't look down on Li Qin, and most of the ministers of the court are dissatisfied with Li Qin, but he is the county guard of the border county, although the views of the ministers of the court and the central government are important, but the emperor is far away, and he may not be so afraid, but less trouble is better than more trouble.

Li Qin said: "Thank you for reminding me, but the subordinates of the last general, there are only five soldiers, in fact, all of them are auxiliaries." ”

He does only have five soldiers, but he trains the auxiliaries and the soldiers together, although the auxiliaries are not as good as the soldiers, but they are still much stronger than the soldiers elsewhere, but nominally, they are still auxiliaries!

Tang Jie hummed and said, "It's good to be right, anyway, the forces of some ministers in the DPRK and China can't enter our Beidi County!" "He is also bullish now, and he has a posture of disobeying the Heavenly Empire. Of course, whoever has great power will not care about the ministers in the DPRK who can only shout.

The Fujiao Army entered the field one after another, marching in line, and the formation was no different from before, except that there were more knife performances, but they were just holding the broken saber and making comparisons, not the main performance items.

Meng Mu shouted: "The auxiliaries are guarding the wall, and the soldiers are attacking!" ”

The drums sounded, and for the first time since the establishment of the Fujiao Army, they began to rehearse how to attack the city!
