Chapter 23: Integration
Dong Zhuo motioned to a soldier beside him to read out the battle exploits, including the number of enemies killed, the number of Qiang soldiers captured, and the number of losses on his side, all of which were only rough statistics.
The soldiers under the command of Jia Rong were the ones with the most exploits, killing more than 1,500 enemies and taking prisoners; The soldiers of one of the worst counties were left with more than a hundred soldiers after the war.
When the soldiers finished reading, Dong Zhuo motioned for Jia Rong to come out, and then patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is Jia Rong Jia Zhiyuan, in this battle, his team is the team that has killed the most enemies, captured the most, and suffered the smallest losses among the soldiers from all counties, and it is your example; And this time we were able to achieve victory so quickly, it is inseparable from Zhiyuan's strategy, he set fire to the camp of the Qiang people, caused the situation of the defeat of the Qiang people, and collapsed the morale of the Qiang people, which contributed a lot. ”
"I have decided that Jia Rong will lead the soldiers recruited this time, and the day after tomorrow will start to reorganize, and the three armies will win the war tonight." Dong Zhuo said.
Jia Rong hurriedly knelt down and thanked him and said, "Thank you for the general's love, I will work hard to live up to the general's trust." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Jia Rong to get up.
Next, Dong Zhuo ordered the execution of several leaders who were ineffective in battle, and rewarded the leaders who had meritorious service on the battlefield; includes not only Jia Rong and their leaders, but also those fresh faces that Jia Rong doesn't know.
But Jia Rong remembered the names of the generals who were rewarded, and he must have made friends afterwards, because Jia Rong heard the more famous name "Huaxiong" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as Niu Jin and Li Xuan.
Seeing that the reward and punishment had been completed, Dong Zhuo returned to the handsome seat and said, "Let's talk about the matter of dealing with the Qiang captives, I plan to put them all to death, I don't know what you think?" ”
As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Jia Rong immediately stood up from among the generals, saluted Dong Zhuo and said: "The general can't, if the general is like this, it will only chill the surrendered Qiang soldiers, if there is another war with the Qiang people in the future, the Qiang soldiers will definitely use their lives one by one, and no longer surrender, which is not good for our army, please think twice." ”
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was furious and said: "Bold, little Qiang, how can I be afraid of it." ”
Jia Rong hurriedly explained: "The general is angry, please listen to the words of humility; If we take in the Qiang soldiers and disperse them into various ranks, these are the elite soldiers of the Qiang people, which will definitely be beneficial to our army and increase the strength of our army. ”
At this time, the middle-aged scribe appeared again, and he bowed his hand to Dong Zhuoyi and said: "General, what Jia Rong said is indeed right, if all the Qiang people who surrender are killed, it will definitely damage the reputation of the general; And if the surrendered Qiang soldiers are incorporated under his command, it can not only strengthen the strength of our army, but also reflect the magnanimity of the general, please think twice! ”
After Dong Zhuo listened to the words of the middle-aged scribe, he pondered for a while, and then daxiao said: "The words of the virtuous son-in-law are reasonable, but the general is confused for a while. ”
Jia Rong cast a grateful look at the middle-aged scribe, and the middle-aged scribe smiled at Jia Rong and didn't say anything.
Dong Zhuo looked at the middle-aged scribe and said, "Wen You, in your opinion, how should these Qiang soldiers be organized?" ”
The middle-aged scribe pondered for a moment and said: "After the battle with the Qiang people, all the departments have lost a lot of men and horses, why don't you let the generals choose soldiers from the Qiang people and make up for the lack of soldiers." ”
After Dong Zhuo heard this, he said: "Wen You's words are reasonable, so I will handle this matter according to your intentions; However, after Zhiyuan reorganized all the recruited soldiers, it also became a part of its own and was directly under my management. ”
Jia Rong knew that he had received great benefits, and hurriedly thanked Dong Zhuo.
After leaving Dong Zhuo's tent, Guo Yan walked to Jia Rong's side, congratulated Jia Rong on his military exploits, and then introduced Jia Rong to the generals he didn't know in the tent just now.
The people introduced by Guo Yan to Jia Rong really opened Jia Rong's eyes, including General Hua Xionghua, Li Xuan, Niu Jin and other generals; These people also congratulated Jia Rong one after another, and Jia Rong responded modestly one by one, these people are the backbone generals in Dong Zhuo's army, that is, Dong Zhuo's henchmen.
When introducing Hua Xiong, Jia Rong deliberately looked at a few times, Hua Xiong is tall and big, with bulging muscles, and he is a Liliang type general at a glance, according to Guo Yan, Hua Xiong is the first person in today's Xiliang Army, with superb martial arts and boldness.
In the Three Kingdoms, Huaxiong is very famous, killing many generals of the Eighteen Road princes, but Zuihou was killed by Guan Erye, leaving the story of Wenjiu beheading Huaxiong.
Niu Jin and Li Qi are also very bold generals of the Xiliang Army, but Jia Rong always feels that this Li Qi does not seem to be as simple as it seems on the surface, and this person's scheming must be very deep.
After returning to his camp, Jia Rong changed into relatively clean clothes and went to visit the barracks where the soldiers lived.
First came to the place where the soldiers of Hechi County lived, and saw that Jia Rong was coming, the soldiers of Hechi County got up and saluted Jia Rong, Jia Rong hurriedly stopped and let the soldiers lie on the bed and rest.
Jia Rong comforted the soldiers who were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, so that they did not have to worry about the future, but only recuperated with peace of mind, and the army would send them home in a few days.
Looking at the eyes of the soldiers in Hechi County looking at him, Jia Rong said: "After two wars, everyone has also seen the cruelty of war, are you afraid?" ”
The soldiers of Hechi County looked at Jia Rong and said in a firm tone: "Don't be afraid!" ”
The soldiers' voices, although muffled, were accompanied by a strong sense of confidence.
Looking at this group of young soldiers who had just grown up through the war, Jia Rong said in a heavy tone: "Very good, in the future, your training will be more hard, only by training hard in peacetime, can you save your life on the battlefield and fight to kill the enemy, I will lead you in the future, no matter when, I hope we can advance and retreat together." ”
The soldiers shouted in a low voice, "Follow the instructor to the death!" ”
The soldiers are still accustomed to calling Jia Rong as a coach, and in the minds of the soldiers, Jia Rong has always been the coach who makes them respect.
After speaking, they all knelt on the ground and bowed to Jia Rong.
This time, Jia Rong did not stop them from paying homage, and after this visit, this group of soldiers will be his most loyal subordinates from now on.
Later, Jia Rong came to the residence of the soldiers of Gudao County, and comforted the wounded soldiers, although the soldiers of Gudao County followed him relatively late, but they were also the soldiers brought out by themselves, and during the training of them, they were very cooperative and hard-working; Jia Rong also has deep feelings for them.
Tonight, the three armies rejoiced together to celebrate the victory of the victory in the war against the Qiang people; Soldiers and generals are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army in peacetime, and this time it is also casual for soldiers and generals to drink.
The soldiers drank and reveled, venting their fears and unknown pressures on the battlefield; No one is not afraid of death, especially when he sees his former robe killed by the enemy.
The three armies carnivaled all night, and many soldiers were full of ugliness, crying and laughing while drunk, revealing the most primitive emotions of human beings.
Even Guo Yan, who has always been very serious, came to Jia Rong to drink, Guo Yan drank a lot of wine, and in a daze, Jia Rong tried his best to persuade him, and then asked two soldiers to send Guo Yan back; Guo Yan has experienced more wars than Jia Rong, and his understanding of the cruelty of war is also deeper.
Jia Rong was drunk, and kept muttering some words that were unknown to others.
Seeing the soldiers of Hechi County brought by him killed by the enemy on the battlefield, but he was unable to do anything, that feeling was indescribable, every time he thought of the helpless eyes of those soldiers in danger on the battlefield, Jia Rong woke up from his dream again and again.
Now that the soldiers have grown up, the remaining soldiers can be called veterans, each of them has the blood of the enemy on their hands, and unlike the previous immaturity, they stand there with a murderous aura, which only those who have experienced war have.
The next day, the whole army had a day off, because last night the soldiers basically did not rest, they were all celebrating the victory in the war!
On the third day, Jia Rong got up very early, because there was something very important today, integrating the team.
When I came to the school field, I looked at the neat soldiers standing in order, there was no military discipline as in the past, although the soldiers from other counties were not as neat and upright as the soldiers from Hechi County and Gudao County, but they all didn't say a word, their eyes looked straight ahead, and they stood there quietly like that, and the whole school field showed a solemn atmosphere.
Jia Rong looked at these soldiers from Wuwei County and said, "When we came from Wuwei County, we had more than 10,000 people, and after two wars, we only had more than 3,000 left; You're already a veteran, and I don't need to say anything more, you all know the brutality of the battlefield. ”
"From now on, you will be under my unified command, and under my subordinates, all you have to do is obey orders and train hard!" Jia Rong continued.
"Zhang Wei, you come out!"
As soon as Jia Rong's words fell, Zhang Wei walked out of the ranks of soldiers, walked to Jia Rong's side, and said to Jia Rong: "Here!" ”
Looking at Zhang Wei, who is neither humble nor arrogant, Jia Rong is very pleased, Zhang Wei has followed him all the way from Hechi County to the present, and he has seen Zhang Wei's performance in his eyes; He patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said to the soldiers below: "From now on, Zhang Wei will be my lieutenant, and you have to obey his command when I am away, understand?" ”
The soldiers claimed to be.
After listening to Jia Rong's words, Zhang Wei knelt down on one knee, bowed to Jia Rong, and then said: "Thank you for the general's love, I will swear to follow the general to the death, and repay the general's kindness!" ”
Jia Rong helped Zhang Wei up, comforted him a few more words, and said, "Li Shun, Xu Qiang, come out." ”
Li Shun and Xu Qiang heard Jia Rong call themselves, walked out of the team, saluted Jia Rong and said, "Here!" ”
