Chapter 208: Accumulation of grain, strength skyrocketed
"Waste, what a bunch of waste, even those township soldiers who can't eat enough can't stop it, what do you want!"
Zhao Mingcheng slammed the brush in his hand to the ground, and roared at the trembling and panicked soldiers in front of him, and except for Zhao Mingcheng, the other people in the camp were also extremely ugly, but because of Zhao Mingcheng's angry appearance at this time, no one spoke again.
No one would have thought that just when they were about to attack Bai Qing, Bai Qing actually made a preemptive strike and led the army out of the camp, not to mention, he actually snatched most of the grain and grass.
You must know that Zhao Mingcheng has always regarded grain and grass as the top priority, and sent heavy troops to guard it, but he didn't expect that so many guards had no way to stop Bai Qing, at this moment, Zhao Mingcheng's hatred for Bai Qing increased a few points.
It's just that now, no matter how much he hates Bai Qing, he can't help him anymore, Bai Qing at this time can be said to have broken out of the cage, the sky is high and the birds fly, no one can stop him from spreading his wings.
For a while, Zhao Mingcheng had a feeling that stealing chickens and rice was not successful, and the whole person was as disgusting as eating a dead fly.
And it was not only him who had this feeling, but also those who coveted Bai Qing's troops in the tent, and they all looked ugly like a dead father.
For a while, the tent fell into a deathly silence.
Rushing out of the camp, Bai Qing led this huge team along the shore of the water. All the way in the direction of the north.
When they were in the camp before, it was not that no one came to stop them. But in the face of such a fierce team, those so-called obstructions have no effect at all. The blocking team was scattered with just one face, and before they even had time to make a move, they were brutally pushed aside, which was simply like nothing.
Bai Qing has always liked to plan and then act, and after having the idea of putting up his own banner, he has already planned a plan.
Breaking free from the constraints of that big camp, Bai Qing had a feeling that the sea was wide and leaping from the fish. Even the air he breathed in seemed to flow with his own breath, and by now, no one could stop him from developing.
Marching all the way, leaving the pursuers behind him far away, on the one hand, Bai Qing followed the route that had been set before, and headed towards the predetermined location, and on the other hand, he also sent people. went to inform Hua Rong, who was still in containment and looking for those surviving soldiers, but as for the soldiers behind him, they just followed him silently all the way, without saying a word. In his eyes, there was a solemn look.
Even the surviving soldiers who were brought out by him were quiet at this time. There was no look of chagrin or panic in their eyes. And their eyes all fell on the same person. That person is Bai Qing.
Since Bai Qing took people to get them back from the Ghost Gate, after losing the leadership of the generals, they regarded Bai Qing as their savior, and during this period of time, Bai Qing's various actions also made these soldiers very moved, so this time Bai Qing waved his hand, and the surviving soldiers stood up in response and followed behind Bai Qing without hesitation.
It only took about half a day to arrive at the place set by Bai Qing in advance, and under the auspices of Ye Yufeng, all the generals and soldiers began to set up camp.
I have to say that Ye Yufeng, the temporary housekeeper, is still quite strong, even in this mess, he still arranges everything in an orderly manner, everyone's tasks are clearly arranged, and before dark, a brand-new camp appears in front of everyone.
The cooks, who had been brought in, immediately lit a fire to cook, prepared a sumptuous meal for the soldiers who had been busy all day, feasted on them, and after making the order of the night watch, they fell asleep in the new camp.
And when the camp fell into silence, Bai Qing's tent was still brightly lit, and at this time, several henchmen under Bai Qing's command, Sun Li, Luan Tingyu, Shi Qian and Ye Yufeng, were all concentrated here.
"So far, our army has a total of more than 4,700 soldiers, including more than 1,000 soldiers of the original Lanling Army, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, more than 1,000 Qizhou Army, more than 500 township troops from other states, and more than 2,000 war horses. At this time, Bai Qing's temporary butler, Ye Yufeng, reported to him on the various matters in the current camp.
"That's already so many!" Bai Qing pinched his brows, in less than a month, the strength of his subordinates has grown from five hundred township troops to nearly five thousand now, which is indeed considered a speed, but one of the problems brought about by the rapid growth of this personnel is that his henchmen are far from enough.
But the most important thing now is to quickly integrate those newly joined soldiers into this team, and on the other hand, it has developed to the current scale, and there is no need to be confined to the infantry team.
The first thing is very easy to do, although the new soldiers, although they have just recovered from their injuries, but they are all Qingzhou Army and Qizhou Army after all, which are relatively strong in combat effectiveness, and they should only need a little training, and at the same time continue to cultivate the military culture, I believe that they can produce results in a short time.
And the second thing, Bai Qing needs to think about it carefully, this Sun Li and Luan Tingyu, the two senior brothers, it is time to divide different teams.
The five of them discussed until late at night, and then they each returned to their tents to rest.
Bai Qing did not have any pride and complacency because of the sudden expansion of strength, and he himself knew very well that the team seemed to have grown a lot now, but the addition of too many newcomers was actually a disguised weakening for the entire team, so what he had to do at present. It is to integrate the team for the first time and complete a leap from quantitative to qualitative change in its own strength. Iron also needs its own hardness, and if you want to pacify the Liangshan thieves. It is still necessary to strengthen your own strength first.
As the days passed, the Lanling army spent their days in hellish training, and those new soldiers were very uncomfortable with this kind of harsh training at the beginning, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered, and there was no desertion, and when they gradually got used to it, they felt that there was no big deal except for being tired.
And the search and rescue and containment of those surviving soldiers. It was also at the end, and after receiving Bai Qing's information, Hua Rong took the two thousand Yizhou troops under his command, as well as the last batch of four or five hundred people who were contained, to this new camp.
As soon as he entered the camp, he saw that the camp was a scene of hot training, Hua Rong had done Qingzhou inspection, and he was very clear about the unruly virtues of the Qingzhou army. But seeing that under such rigorous training, those soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were still very obedient and meticulously completed, Hua Rong suddenly couldn't hide the shocked look on his face. Then, it seemed a little thoughtful.
The next day, Hua Rong found Bai Qing. He decided to join the Lanling Army with the entire Yizhou army because he felt. If it is under the leadership of Bai Qing, if the two teams are combined into one. Maybe he will exert more powerful combat effectiveness, and after this period of coexistence, Hua Rong has already admitted in his heart that Bai Qing's military attainments are far superior to him.
After hearing Hua Rong's words, Bai Qing was a little stunned at first, because although he and Hua Rong often fought together, he dared to swear that he had never had the idea of fighting the Yizhou Army at all, and he didn't expect that Hua Rong would actually make such a decision.
At the beginning, Hua Rong was actually a little entangled in his heart, but when he saw the extremely shocked look on Bai Qing's face, the entanglement in Hua Rong's heart suddenly disappeared in an instant, he just smiled at Bai Qing, with a calm face.
After being silent for a moment, Bai Qing still nodded and agreed with Hua Rong's idea, he and Hua Rong have been friends for so long, some things don't need too much politeness, and the number of the Lanling army under Bai Qing's command suddenly expanded to more than 7,200 people in one fell swoop.
Immediately afterwards, the next day, after careful consideration and discussion, Bai Qing made a new division of the current team, first of all, the Lanling army will form a cavalry team of 1,000 people, led by Hua Rong, and the remaining infantry team is divided into a 2,000-person archer, led by Sun Li, and the remaining 4,000 infantry is led by Luan Tingyu, as for the last 200 people, in addition to the personal guards of 50 people, the other 150 people are assigned by Bai Qing to Shi Qian, It was up to him to help Bai Qing train a special team of scouts.
Of course, all of this qiē is based on the integration of the team, and all the soldiers will first undergo unified training, and the original veterans of the Lanling Army will carry out the model of one old and six new, and then according to the training situation, they will be filled into different teams.
However, in just one month, Bai Qing already has a powerful power that makes people look at him.
While stepping up the integration of the team, Bai Qing also re-erected the banner of suppressing thieves, hoping that those soldiers who survived could find and join in, as for Zhang Shuye's suicide note, he had sent someone to send it to the capital overnight.
Just when Bai Qing was racing against time to integrate the team, in the original Qi army camp, Zhao Mingcheng and the others were still living a life of drunken dreams and death, and even the mess left by Bai Qing was too lazy to sort out, I don't know if it had been broken and broken, as for the attack on Liangshan and the extermination of the anti-thieves, they had long been thrown out of the clouds, or maybe they didn't take this matter to heart at all, but were thinking about how to take advantage of this defeat to exaggerate the strength of the Liangshan thieves. And then to get another amount of food and salary from the imperial court, wouldn't it be a good thing!
As for the soldiers, who cares if they live or die!
It's just that they didn't expect that a group of good guests quietly appeared not far from them at this time.
