In the next few days, two major events of the Northwest Army were carried out in an orderly manner, one thing was naturally the transfer of generals, the five general soldiers did not dare to disobey the military order after all, and signed the order to transfer the generals, and Han Modang even if he let people convey the military order, this is the most urgent thing at present, and it is natural to deal with it quickly. The second thing is to convene the generals of Linyang Pass and announce that Tie Kui will serve as the chief soldier of Linyang Pass.

Han Mo knew very well that the name "Tie Kui" was unknown, and if such a person was suddenly promoted to the position of the chief soldier in one step, even if a general like Qin Luo didn't say it, he must be very dissatisfied in his heart.

Before announcing this order, he specially gathered Qin Luo and more than a dozen other generals together, and everyone sat on the ground, drinking and talking very harmoniously, and the topic was nothing more than the war between Wei and Qing.

The generals present are analyzing the results of this battle, if there is no participation of Yan State, Qingguo may not be able to escape the catastrophe, many generals are analyzing, if Qingguo is occupied by Wei State, with the martial temperament of Wei people, the next thing is afraid of making a move on Yan State, the meaning of everyone's words is nothing more than a meaning, that is, Yan State can not sit idly by and ignore this battle, and when Wei Qing is almost consumed, it is time to send troops.

It's just that the two sides have differences about which country to attack.

The meaning of Wang Siyu's faction is to take advantage of Qing's domestic and external troubles, from Linyang, Zihe and Zhuanshui all the way out of the pass, to attack Qingguo, Qingguo is facing the encirclement of Wei, Beiman, and Yan, it is impossible to resist, and it is not difficult for Yan to occupy the land of Qingguo.

However, Qin Luo's faction put forward diametrically opposed opinions on attacking Qingguo, they felt that Qingguo was easy to fight, but they were about to join forces with Wei to attack Qing, once Qingguo was destroyed, then Yan would definitely face the attack of Wei, and Beiban, as an ally of Wei, was very likely to help Wei attack Yan under the promise of great benefits from Wei, and at that time, Yan would definitely fall into a bitter battle.

If Wei is really defeated, then Yan will turn the gun to Qingguo next, which will be much easier to deal with, and the situation at that time will likely become a situation in which Yan and the Northern Barbarians will attack Qingguo to avoid the joint attack of Wei and the Northern Barbarians.

The two sides had their own reasons and argued, but Han Mo laughed and said nothing, and only after three rounds of wine did Han Mo change the topic of everyone and tentatively mention the battle of Shanggu City thirteen years ago.

At the mention of this battle, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and all the commanders and generals present were all gloomy, but this was beyond Han Mo's expectations, so it seemed that all the generals present seemed to know about the battle of Shanggu City.

After a period of silence, Qin Luo took the lead in opening the conversation clip, mentioning Ji Fengnian's great victory in designing to kill the Qing army of 6,000, which made the generals present excited, when it was mentioned that Shanggu City was besieged, and later broke through but was ambushed, thousands of Yan soldiers were blood-stained on the battlefield, and all the generals were full of righteous indignation, and many people's eyes were red, which aroused everyone's resentment towards Qingguo and nostalgia for the sacrificed soldiers.

According to what everyone knows, Ji Fengnian was escorted back to Beijing by the personnel sent by the imperial court shortly after the siege, as for the later disposal, it was not announced to the public, but since then, Ji Fengnian has never returned, and many people have suspected that Ji Fengnian has been secret. Execute.

After all, at that time, the family was fighting for power, and Ji Fengnian, as a rare non-family child in the general army, has always been a thorn in the side of the family.

Speaking of this, Han Mo obviously felt their disgust and disgust for the dispute between the Yan family from the tone of the generals.

There is also a partial general who is very drunk, mentioning that his eldest brother was killed in the battle of Shanggu City, and even more drunk, bluntly saying that the generals of the family in the Northwest Army retreated without any punishment without a fight, but Ji Fengnian, who was defeated in a bloody battle, was going to be executed, and his words were quite sharp, and he was finally interrupted by Wang Siyu.

The generals only remembered at this time that Han Mo was a child of the family, and their expressions suddenly became embarrassed.

Han Mo suddenly understood at this time that Xiao Huaiyu's prestige in the Northwest Army was like a god, I am afraid it was not only because of Xiao Huaiyu's ability to turn the tide, he cleared the power of the family, appointed people on the basis of meritocracy, regardless of their background, purged those who were attached to the Northwest Army like parasites, and promoted those non-family soldiers who were talented but difficult to get ahead, this series of measures was also an important reason why Xiao Huaiyu was able to get the support of the Northwest Army.

The Northwest Army's combat effectiveness was extremely weak before Xiao Huaiyu, it was not that they were not brave, as we all know, the resilience of the Yan people was extremely strong, and the direct reason for their low combat effectiveness was because they could not see the prospect.

At that time, the Northwest Army, the middle- and middle-level generals were almost all monopolized by the family, even if there was a change, it would only be the children of the family who were alternates, and ordinary soldiers were no matter how capable and meritorious they were, it was difficult to have a chance to get ahead, and it was a miracle that non-family children like Ji Fengnian could sit in the position of the chief soldier.

Ordinary soldiers will always have the fate of being cannon fodder, and no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to have great development, which directly leads to the lack of initiative of the soldiers and the loss of battle, which naturally makes the combat effectiveness of the entire Northwest Army drop by a great grade.

Han Mo touched his chin, saw that the generals looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be taboo, although I am also a child of a family, but like you, I have always believed that throughout the ages, no matter which country or army, if you want to be strong, there is a rule that must be followed...... Merit will be rewarded, and crime will be punished! He smiled mildly: "If I am a soldier, born and died, and made great contributions, but I just eat an extra bowl of rice, why should I fight with my life?" I worked hard to make myself and my family live a better life, if I worked hard, nothing changed, just let those generals continue to be promoted and rich, why should I fight? Patriotic? If the officials don't love the country, why should they use such a ridiculous reason as patriotism to deceive us ordinary people into being born and die? Therefore, I have always felt that if you want everyone to really work hard, don't give them the slogan of patriotism, and give them corresponding rewards for their merits, it is real. If you make a meritorious service, whether you are a child of a family or an ordinary soldier, you must give corresponding rewards, and if you make a mistake, no matter who you are, you will still be punished by Lao Tzu, this is the clear reward and punishment, and only then can hundreds of thousands of people be twisted into a single force, turned into a powerful fist, and hit anyone who is our enemy! ”

Han Mo's words are extremely practical, it can be said to be heartfelt, although mixed with foul language, but the generals listened to it, but they felt unspeakably comfortable, I only felt that General Han's words were really reasonable, and they won my heart. And these words are quite taboo, but Han Mo does not shy away from saying them, that is obviously treating everyone as their own, all the generals feel that General Han is a real person, several generals who did not follow Han Mo into Beijing, for a while they had a good impression of Han Mo, and even had a feeling of hating each other.

For most people, eating meat, getting promoted, and honoring their ancestors are far more practical than protecting their families and defending the country.

I have given my blood for the country, and the country will naturally give me corresponding glory, which is justified.

At this time, Han Mo finally said: "When the general soldier was wronged, I only learned about this matter in half a year, and I was very sorry to learn that such a good general would not be used by the imperial court." So I sent a lot of people to inquire about the whereabouts of General Ji Bing......! ”

Qin Luo was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "General Han, do you mean to say that General Ji is still alive?" ”

Han Mo smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Not only is I alive, but I also came forward in person, and finally invited General Ji out...... ”

Ji Fengnian set up an ambush that year and achieved the victory of Tu Liangchuan, which was the biggest victory of Yan in the early days of the war, although Yan did not publicize these things in the country, but these Northwest Army were naturally familiar with the original history, although Ji Fengnian was defeated later, but the flaws did not hide Yu, and his prestige was also spread for a long time in the Northwest Army.

As soon as Han Mo said that he would invite Ji Fengnian out, all the generals were surprised, but they saw Han Mo stand up and walk out of the tent, and after a while, he took Tie Kui's hand and entered the tent.

Tie Kui's expression was calm, a guard served, the generals saw it, looked at each other, they had not seen Ji Fengnian, at this time looking at Tie Kui's appearance, naturally unrecognizable, but Tie Kui's weather-beaten angular face, at a glance, he knew that he was a soldier, although it was a thing of the past, but Tie Kui had a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.

Qin Luo and Wang Siyu glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but take two steps forward and salute Tie Kui deeply, and the other generals also got up one after another and saluted Tie Kui solemnly.

This is the deep respect that the successor will have for the previous generation.

Tie Kui looked at the weather-beaten faces in front of him, stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed deeply to the generals.

Han Mo smiled gently, and said slowly: "There is a vacancy in the general army of Linyang Pass, Linyang Pass is the first pass of my Dayan, and the selection of the chief soldier must not be careless, I will think about it again and again, I want to make General Bing Ji aggrieved by this position, I don't know what you think?" ”

Han Mo thought that there would be some resistance, after all, it was a bit incredible to directly promote a man with no official position to the general of the general army, but to his surprise, Wang Siyu and Qin Luo glanced at each other, immediately knelt down on one knee, and said in unison, "The last general will see the general of the general army!" The group of generals behind the two of them looked at each other, obviously still a little surprised by Han Mo's decision, but in just an instant, there was a loud bang, and all the generals knelt down on one knee, and their voices were powerful: "The last general will see the chief soldier!" ”

Tie Kui gave a deep salute again, Han Mo breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect his arrangement to be completed so smoothly, but there was also a trace of excitement in his heart, no matter what, the general soldier of Linyang Pass was finally his descendant.
