Coming out of the craftsman camp, it was nightfall, the original plan to return to Dingzhou to meet Lu Yiming naturally bubbled up, the group came to Fuyuan Fortress, Wang Qinian, who had been informed, was already waiting outside the fortress, Wang Qinian had long since lost the youth that had just become the general of the army, a big helmet with armor, with a group of personal soldiers standing firmly in front of the gate of the fortress, and Rong Gangyi, not smiling, looking extremely calm, seeing Li Qing coming, quickly took a few steps, and held the reins of the horse for Li Qing, "Be careful!" "Stretched out his hand to help Li Qing dismount.

Li Qingha smiled and glanced at him, "Beard, are you seventy or eighty years old, or are you weak, and you still need to help me on the next horse?" ”

Wang Qinian smiled, although he was teased by Li Qing, but there was no embarrassment on his face, and said: "The handsome man is as kind to me as a mountain, and the beard can have today, relying on the cultivation of the handsome, leading the horse and placing the saddle for the handsome, that is the duty of the beard." ”

Li Qing laughed loudly, "Beard, don't say three times, when you are impressed, I didn't expect you to pull up the text now, well, I heard that you have recruited several strategists under your command now, learn from them!" ”

"Yes, Dashuai, the beard used to be a small soldier, and he learned some art of war with Mr. Dashuai Monk, but he was always trembling, like a thin soldier, remembering that Dashuai said that the main general was powerless, tired to death of the three armies, and he was even more cautious, after all, the previous beard was a single, and he died when he died, but now he has 5,000 Erlang, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Dashuai, and he doesn't dare to be careless, so he recruited some strategists to give me advice, which is exactly what Dashuai said and listens to it!"

"The idea is good, live to be old, learn to be old, beard, but in the process of learning, don't lose your heart, then it's not what I want!" He threw his horsewhip and walked towards Kannai. Hu Zi seemed sensible, but Li Qing felt that he was a little far away. Li Qing didn't doubt him, but the change in status always caused some of his former friends not to be constantly estranged from him, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental when he thought that it would be impossible for him and Wang Qinian and others to return to the original day when they laughed and scolded the world together and fought together.

Wang Qinian has always been the first general under him, and the Tianlei Battalion is also the strongest foot soldier under him, placing it in Fuyuan, with Li Qing's deep meaning, I believe that Wang Qinian can now understand that the current Fuyuan has lost its position as the forefront of the fight against the barbarians, here, now it can be said that it is a big warehouse, and almost all the materials needed in the entire Shanglin are shipped from here, and Shanglinli has become the bridgehead for Li Qing to attack the grassland. And to set up a strong army here in Fuyuan, one is to ensure the safety of this material warehouse, and on the other hand, it is to rush to the forest at any time, and in private, Li Qing did not have the mind to guard against Lu Dalin.

Walking into Wang Qinian's general's mansion, the house had already prepared wine and food, Wang Qinian said with a smile: "Dashuai, I haven't drunk with Dashuai for a while, but I have a good opportunity today, but I want to have a good drink with Dashuai." ”

Li Qing smiled: "Okay, but when it comes to drinking, I'm not your opponent, I'll use the cup for a while, you use the bowl, we can compare!" ”

Wang Qinian laughed, "Dashuai, this is not good, when I was in the City God Temple, I was drunk and drunk, and I slept for a day and a night before waking up, this time I am not fooled." ”

Recalling that year, the two of them were filled with a layer of warmth in their hearts, the sadness at that time was really not enough for outsiders, hundreds of remnants of soldiers, the camp was wailing, the bags were shy, they drank the cheapest inferior wine, and they thought about how to live tomorrow, which is really incomparable with the present.

After a few bowls of wine, Wang Qinian's little restraint was also thrown out of the clouds, opened his shirt, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, do you remember when we were drinking and discussing how to kidnap Doctor Huan Xihuan?" Coincidentally, the god doctor had good luck, and Cheng Ran promised to come to treat the injuries of the commander's soldiers, otherwise, we would really tie him up, and I don't know how it would end! ”

"Don't talk about this, Doctor Huan came to my house a few days ago and asked me where I hid the girl with Mingyan, so that I had nothing to say, alas, Doctor Huan really pity the jade, claiming that he wouldn't leave if he didn't see the girl with Mingyan, so I explained it for a long time, and I couldn't tell him the truth, it's really embarrassing!" Li Qing shook his head and said.

Shang Haibo took a sip of wine slightly, "Dashuai, Huan Shen Doctor is not simple, he was able to see the Dashuai at a glance and send Huan Qiu to the Dashuai army, and now Huan Qiu is a five-grade medical officer under Dashuai, which proves that he has a unique vision, he went to your mansion to make a scene, not for tea, but also for befriending Dashuai, and also for some people to see his friendship with Dashuai!" ”

Li Qing couldn't help but coriander, Shang Haibo always thinks about people in complexity, if it is said that Zha Huanxi sent his nephew to himself was a kind of temptation to invest in the surname, then this time to make trouble at his own place can be regarded as a real surname, this person is eight buckets, arrogant, very old-fashioned children, but I can't see that he has the fancy thoughts that Shang Haibo said, besides, in this world, if you offend anyone, you can't offend a generation of miracle doctors, and you can save your life at a critical time!

"Mr. Shang, earlier you said that you wanted to talk to me about the military system, Hu Zi is not an outsider, just with him, we can also listen to the thoughts of the front-line generals and make a reference!"

Shang Haibo put down his wine glass and said, "Marshal, I have thought about the Dingzhou military system for a long time, and I think it is time to change." The Dingzhou army now has 20,000 people in Lu Dalin's department, the bearded Tianlei battalion, Feng Guo's Panshi battalion, Jiang Kui's whirlwind battalion with a total of 15,000 people, the three battalions of Dingyuan, Weiyuan, and Zhenyuan with 15,000 people, your personal guard battalion with 3,000 people, and the special brigade with 1,000 people. Second, in order to sweep away the barbarians, it is imperative to expand the army in Dingzhou, as you said, to sweep away the barbarians, and then in the future to peep into the Central Plains, at least 100,000 troops, do not adapt the military system, or take the battalion as a unit, it will be a big problem in command in the future, and you cannot have so much energy to command each battalion. Third, if the military system is not changed, there will only be a few positions in the army, which will create a great obstacle to the promotion of low-ranking officers, and thus discourage their enterprising spirit. Your guard battalion selects these low-level officers who can't be promoted for a while, and you can't always let them serve as an ordinary soldier in the guard battalion, and these people who have stayed by your side are immediately a qualified middle-level officer once they are put in the army, which can also effectively help you control the army, to say something that shouldn't be said, after these guards go down to the army, even if Hu Zi wants to learn from Lu Dalin's actions against Xiao Yuanshan, I'm afraid it will not be smart. ”

Wang Qinian had been nodding his head again and again in agreement, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and a layer of fine sweat immediately appeared on his body, Huo Di stood up: "Mr. Shang, what do you mean, I have followed the marshal since I was a small soldier, how can I have two hearts for the marshal, you, you..."

Li Qing waved his hand, "Beard, why are you so excited, Mr. Shang is just making an analogy." ”

"How can there be such an analogy, Mr. Shang, I have always respected you, but you say that I am like this, I, I am not finished with you!" Wang Qinian's beard was cocked, and he was still angry.

"Okay, General Wang, I'm sorry, it's Shang who doesn't choose to say anything, and he doesn't doubt you, but what do you think about this?" Shang Haibo said with a smile.

"Good is naturally good, I don't have any opinion!" Wang Qinian said in a down-to-earth manner, he himself regarded himself as Li Qing's hardcore confidant, and he had no opinion on Li Qing's method of strengthening military control.

"It's just that this matter, I'm afraid I have to discuss it with General Lu and get his consent." Li Qing hesitated a little, the personal guard itself was his preset officer reserve, just to send them to the army as middle-level officers when the army was expanded, but he did not expect the military reform to come so quickly.

"General Lu will agree, the general will be open-minded to talk to him, will make him agree more readily, at the same time, you can transfer Lu Dabing to the pro-guard battalion as the main general, and at the same time release Yang Yidao, one is to show that you still trust General Lu, and entrust your safety to his younger brother, at the same time, let Yang Yidao go out to experience a turn, a knife is calm and studious, over the years with the general has made great progress, I believe that he will be a good general, a little experience, you can stand alone."

"It's a good idea!" Li Qing agreed.

"For the military system, the marshal must have already had a case, right?" Shang Haibo asked.

Li Qing nodded, "Let's set up a division, our Dingzhou Army has three divisions, one division and five battalions." ”

Shang Haibo has never heard of the division of this establishment, and he doesn't know that the army of Dachu has this name, Dachu is based on a state as an army, an army has three wings, and three battalions under the wings, the previous time Xiao Yuanshan abolished the association in order to concentrate the army, but now there are too many camps in Dingzhou, and the Dingzhou center can no longer effectively command each battalion, and the on-the-spot decision of the main general in front is also greatly disadvantaged, Li Qing is not because of Xiao Yuanshan, the control of the army under his command is much stronger, Shang Haibo does not care whether Li Qing calls it a division or a cooperative, In short, he believed that it would not be long before these divisions would become armies.

"Then the commander of one of the divisions must be Lu Dalin, and the commander of the other two divisions has considered it?" Shang Haibo asked.

Wang Qinian was also nervous, there is no doubt that Lu Dalin is the commander of a division, but the remaining two division commanders are difficult to say, many people are qualified, including himself, of course, and Wang Qinian also thinks that he is the most qualified one.

Li Qing pondered for a moment, Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, and Feng Guo made a turn in their minds, "I tend to let Hu Zi serve, but after Hu Zi serves as the commander of the first division, he obviously can't stay in Fuyuan, he wants to open up another front, and it is impossible for the two divisions to gather on one front, Mr. Shang, do you think, after Hu Zi leaves, who can come to Fuyuan to pick up the beam?" ”

As soon as Wang Qinian heard this, his mouth suddenly opened widely, and he didn't know what to say happily, the Dingzhou Army only has three divisions, and he is one of the three generals.

Li Qing glanced at him, and Wang Qinian immediately sat upright, looking like he was listening, but his heart had already flown away.

"Feng Guo is stationed in Dingzhou, this is the base camp, you can't move, Jiang Kui is suitable for leading cavalry, it's not easy to move, handsome, you can only pick people from your personal guard camp, I think I'll let Yang Yidao come."

Li Qing coincided with himself when he heard it, "Since this is the case, it is so decided, beard, laugh if you want to laugh, get promoted, everyone is happy, don't be so lame, I feel uncomfortable looking at it!" ”

Wang Qinian was immediately overjoyed, and laughed out loud.

"But the higher the position, the heavier the responsibility, I hope you will not disappoint the hope of my monk and Mr." Li Qing added lightly.

"Don't worry, the beard will do his best, bow to the bottom, and die." Wang Qinian said loudly.

"With Lu Dalin's troops as the main force to attack the grassland from the right flank, Wang Qinian's division gathered Jiang Kui's cavalry battalion, Feng Guo's rock battalion, plus Weiyuan, Zhenyuan, and Dingyuan troops, to form a left road and threaten the right flank of the barbarians." Li Qing waved his fist, "Start to expand the army, train reserves, and once the big war starts, you can quickly pull it to the battlefield." ”

"Marshal, what about the commander of the first division?" Shang Haibo asked.

"There's no hurry, I already have a candidate in mind, but I have to wait for a while!" Li Qing said with a smile.

Shang Haibo smiled but didn't answer, he already knew who the handsome candidate was. Only Wang Qinian is still nonsense, and he has the generals in the entire Dingzhou Army on the side in his mind, and he doesn't remember who this person is.
