Chapter 24: Co-optation of the Qiang people (1)
Jia Rong pointed at Li Shun and Xu Qiang and said to the soldiers below: "There can't be no discipline in the army, in the future, Li Shun will manage your military discipline issues, and Xu Qiang will assist in management; If a soldier does not obey military discipline, Li Shun and Xu Qiang can deal with it with full authority. ”
Li Shun can be said to be a young man, delicate, and conscientious, and Jia Rong is very relieved to hand over the issue of military discipline to him. Xu Qiang is also Jia Rong's confidant, he is loyal, and he cooperates with Li Shun, Jia Rong feels very suitable.
Jia Rong said to Li Shun and Xu Qiang: "After the two of you go down, select soldiers and assist you in managing the military discipline of the whole team. ”
Li Shun and Xu Qiang knelt down on one knee and clenched their fists and replied: "My subordinates will do their best, please rest assured, general!" ”
After arranging the positions of Xu Qiang and Li Shun, Jia Rong appointed Li Hu, Li Li, and Zhang Wei as the captains of his own soldiers.
After a detailed count of all the soldiers in the army, because in the previous team, the training items of soldiers in each county were different, Jia Rong also needed to do a unified sorting, and then carry out centralized training.
The specific number of soldiers was 3,680, and after the second war with the Qiang people, the soldiers in some counties were basically wiped out, so the idea of training soldiers according to their specialties could not be implemented.
Jia Rong previously led the soldiers of Hechi County and Gudao County to account for 30% of the entire soldier team, which was very good in this war.
In order to be able to mobilize soldiers on the battlefield, Jia Rong let five soldiers be a team according to the system in the Han Dynasty army, with one captain, ten soldiers and one chief; One hundred people, one hundred people; The hundred people will directly obey Jia Rong's command.
The military system of the Han Dynasty was very complicated, Jia Rong only temporarily set his position to the position of centurion, and Dong Zhuo had not yet informed Jia Rong of his position, and Jia Rong was only the leader of this department for the time being.
After counting the detailed number of people in the team, Jia Rong got up and went to Dong Zhuo's camp, the purpose of which was naturally to ask for soldiers; Jia Rong still valued the captured Qiang soldiers, especially after seeing the Qiang people's cavalry and archery, and the horsemen galloping on the battlefield, Jia Rong secretly thought about how to form his own cavalry team.
After the soldiers' confession, Jia Rong met Dong Zhuo; Jia Rong bowed and said: "Humble Jia Rong, knock to see the general." ”
Under Dong Zhuo's instructions, Jia Rong sat in a seat very close to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo also valued talented people very much.
Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Rong and asked kindly, "I don't know what is the important matter for Zhiyuan to come here today?" ”
Although Dong Zhuo was very polite to himself, Jia Rong was still not arrogant or impatient, and replied respectfully: "General Qiqi, the detailed number of soldiers in our department has been counted, and I have come to report to the general. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "Zhiyuan is really urgent, he has just experienced the war, and he is in a hurry to reorganize his men and horses without resting for two days; In that case, tell me the details of your soldiers. ”
"General Qiyu, there are a total of 3,680 soldiers in our department." Jia Rong said.
After listening to Jia Rong's words, Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, and then said: "Zhiyuan, the soldiers under your command are the largest among my existing six troops, and our army originally had five troops, plus one of your troops, there are now six in total; The other five divisions each have more than 2,000 people, but only Zhiyuan has more than 3,000 soldiers. ”
After Jia Rong listened to Dong Zhuo's words, he was anxious in his heart, he was going to ask Dong Zhuo for soldiers, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to say this, he might not be able to ask for the Qiang soldiers who surrendered; He hurriedly said to Dong Zhuo: "General, although our men and horses have gone through two small battles, they still lack enough training, and they can't be compared with the veterans of the other five troops. ”
Dong Zhuo paced back and forth in the tent, and then said in a tentative tone: "Then let's do it, Zhiyuan, divide your soldiers into 1,500 people, and divide them into the other five departments, I believe that with the veterans of the other five departments leading them, these soldiers can grow up quickly." ”
After Jia Rong heard this, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, although it seemed that his strength had been weakened, but he could have enough reason to ask Dong Zhuo for the Qiang soldiers who surrendered, Jia Rong's concept was that the soldiers were not many but fine.
In these two wars, the deaths were basically new soldiers, and the losses of the original troops led by Dong Zhuo were very small, which is the reason.
Jia Rong said complimentarily: "The general is wise, and he will definitely finish this matter when he returns to his humble post; There is one more thing to be humble, and I implore the general to agree. ”
Seeing that Jia Rong agreed with his opinion, Dong Zhuo was also very happy, in his heart he thought that Jia Rong would not agree to this request, and no one wanted his strength to be weakened; Seeing that Jia Rong was also doubly cordial, he said to Jia Rong happily: "Zhiyuan doesn't have to be polite, just say what you want." ”
Jia Rong said earnestly: "I humbly ask the general to divide the surrendered Qiang soldiers to part of our department. ”
After finishing speaking, Jia Rong looked at Dong Zhuo expectantly.
Dong Zhuo listened to Jia Rong's words, and after thinking deeply, he said: "Zhiyuan, the Qiang people are unfamiliar wolves, and they are not as solid and reliable as the local people; I can give you some of the Qiang soldiers who surrendered, but you have to be careful against them. ”
Jia Rong was overjoyed, and felt that this Dong fat man was too cute for a while; Dong Zhuo doesn't care too much about the Qiang soldiers, in his opinion, the Qiang soldiers are of a different race, not my race, and their hearts must be different, and they are not trustworthy.
After discussing with Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo agreed that Jia Rong should select 500 soldiers as his subordinates among the surrendered Qiang soldiers.
After Jia Rong left Dong Zhuo's tent, he hurried to the place where the Qiang soldiers were held; At the same time, let Zhang Wei, who was with him, go and find Wang Liu and Zhao Meng.
The place where the Qiang people were held was in a dilapidated barracks, and some parts of the house had signs of collapse, and it looked like a place where no one had lived for many years, and I am afraid that it was not suitable to be used as a firewood house.
The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the surrendered Qiang people were guarded in five steps and a post in ten steps, and they guarded this place tightly.
Jia Rong stepped forward and explained his intention to the guards, the soldiers heard Jia Rong's identity, and immediately became very enthusiastic about Jia Rong, Jia Rong's deeds have also spread in the army for a few days, and the soldiers in the army have always admired people with ability, and they are naturally respectful to Jia Rong.
A soldier in charge of guarding respectfully took Jia Rong to the room where the Qiang soldiers were held, and then said to Jia Rong: "General, this is the place where the Qiang soldiers are held, and now there are more than 1,600 Qiang soldiers left. ”
After listening to the soldier's words, Jia Rong knew in his heart that there must be generals from the other five departments who came to select the soldiers.
The door opened, and Jia Rong saw all the Qiang soldiers huddled in the empty room, dust piling up inside, and the walls cracked into spider webs.
Seeing the door of the house open, the Qiang soldiers all looked at Jia Rong, these soldiers were bloodless one by one, and the two days of hunger made these Qiang soldiers lose their original sharpness, but their unyielding eyes clearly told Jia Rong that they were extraordinary.
Jia Rong walked around the house and was very satisfied with the Qiang soldiers, who believed that after a little training, these soldiers would definitely be invincible on the battlefield.
The soldier in charge of bringing Jia Rong in whispered to him: "General, be careful, General Niu was almost injured by these surrendered Qiang soldiers when he came to pick them up yesterday. ”
When Jia Rong heard the guards say this, he suddenly became interested and said, "Oh, there is such a thing, you tell me the details." ”
The soldier told Jia Rong in detail about yesterday's situation.
It turned out that Niu Jin fell in love with a Qiang soldier when he came to select the surrendered Qiang soldier yesterday, but the Qiang soldier was unwilling to follow him, saying that as long as Niu Jin could beat him, he would follow Niu Jin, otherwise it would be impossible; When Niu Jin heard this, he was also interested, although Niu Jin's own martial arts were good, he would not be absolutely sure to defeat this strong-looking Qiang soldier.
Niu Jin successively sent five of his elite soldiers to challenge the Qiang soldier, but they were all injured by the Qiang soldier; Niu Jin was very angry and wanted to kill the Qiang man to vent his anger, but his advisers advised him not to do this, saying that this would affect the emotions of the Qiang soldiers he had recruited, and it would not be beneficial to him in the future.
After hearing this, Jia Rong said, "General Hua Xionghua hasn't come to select Qiang soldiers yet?" ”
The guards didn't know what Jia Rong meant, but they still told the truth: "Not yet, now only you, the general, and General Guo, the general of Hua, have not come to select these Qiang soldiers." ”
No wonder this is the case, if Hua Xiong has been here, how can this Qiang soldier be rampant, Hua Xiong has always regarded himself as the first person in the Western Liang Army, Jia Rong thought to himself.
Jia Rong said to the guarding soldiers: "Which Qiang soldier is so arrogant? ”
The guards seemed to be a little scared of the surrendered Qiang soldier, and carefully told Jia Rong the direction where the Qiang soldier was.
Looking in the direction that the guards had told him, Jia Rong saw a very strong Qiang soldier about thirty years old, who stood there and gave people the feeling of standing out from the crowd; Because this Qiang soldier gave people a very depressed feeling, looking at him Jia Rong felt as if the air around him was solidified, and Jia Rong was a little out of breath, and at a glance he knew that this was definitely a battle-hardened general.
Jia Rong pointed to the Qiang soldier who had suppressed his feelings and asked, "Is it him?" ”
Looking at Jia Rong's actions, the guard soldier seemed to be afraid that Jia Rong's behavior would anger the Qiang soldier, and hurriedly pulled down Jia Rong's hand pointing at the Qiang soldier.
