The noon sun hit Zhao Hu's body, like a broken gold armor on his scarred body, and he still couldn't see any expression on his face, but he could see the blood of everyone in the audience.

The second-class meritorious service is only slightly lower than Cao Mang and Han Bin, who decided the situation on the battlefield, but everyone is convinced, such an honor is what everyone is fascinated by, and when the anger is raised, Zhao Hu pulled out a dagger from behind.

"Zhao Hu, deputy of the cavalry in the front battalion, rushed to kill the enemy when he was approaching the enemy, and retreated without defeat, so that the enemy on the flank could break through the encirclement, and missed the opportunity to capture the enemy's head.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his dagger and made a three-inch-long cut on his right cheek, the only one that had not left an upper face on the march for many years, and blood gushed out, sliding down his jaw and down his throat, without blinking his eyelids from beginning to end.

"I hope that all brothers will take Zhao Hu as a warning, march into battle in the future, and obey military orders, if everyone can do this, our army will be able to run rampant in the world under the leadership of the master. Don't say that you want to survive, the glory and wealth, the land is good, and it is easy for our army to take it from it! ”

This kind of courage is really hard to see.

The cut he drew on his face only allowed the officers and men in the battalion to see him as if they were walking alert, and most of the problem of preventing the troops below from being greedy for merit and rash progress was naturally solved.

Seeing him like this, Yang Kai felt generous in his heart, personally took the wine and drank it with him, he begged for talents everywhere, but he forgot that there were thousands of people under his camp, did he fail to find out?

"Therefore, with a glass of wine, our army has another tiger general, and the horizontal lance is immediately struck, only I am General Zhao!"

His heavy rewards, generous gifts, and the words and words rendered by the pen and ink of discussion and admiration, and the sincerity of his words are all heartfelt words, and those who dare to say iron and stone must be moved by it.

Regardless of whether it is a thief or an army, there will be treacherous villains, but in general, the people who are the head of the righteous word account for the majority, you must know that Zhao Hu is one of the most trusted people around Yang Kai.

But he was able to take the initiative to stand up and bear his own mistakes, which touched and inspired everyone to see, enthusiastic and brave people, all excited, only hated that they couldn't be on the battlefield now, and shot the enemy.

Zhao Hu and Yang Kai raised their glasses together, drank them all, and then handed the bowl to the soldiers around them and retreated into the queue. When Han Bin saw him like this, he couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of being cultivated by the old master, responsible, and enough for his mother's righteousness!" ”

Waiting for Zhao Hu to go down, the matter of rewards and punishments gradually came to an end, Yang Kai added a few more words, and then ordered Yan Hou to come up and deal with the last matter, when he took the initiative to give Yang Kai a suggestion, Yang Kai left him this opportunity.

These captured officers and soldiers, after these years of polishing, most of them have been very docile, in fact, most of the people who serve in the army, most of them look down on the thieves, but the court owes salaries, and the generals abandon them, and now they see these thieves under Yang Kai's subordinates, all of them are rewarded, and they are lost in their hearts, and they are not angry.

They think that they are on the battlefield, they will not be worse than these thieves, and they can be regarded as officials of the imperial court, how can they be mixed up and not even as good as them? Looking at this camp, there is no shortage of heroic warriors, in addition to being surprised and hesitant in their hearts, they also think of the execution of those people who held the plate before, whether their lives can be saved, and they are even more worried, they only hope now that someone can give them a step, let them walk down from the cusp of the storm, as long as they give an order, they are also willing to be this thief army.

Yan Hou also walked up to the position where he was on a level with Yang Kai and was also facing the tiger under the stage, and the soldiers gradually quieted down, he only looked at these captives directly, and was silent for a long time, and then he showed the identity token that he had retained, and said with emotion:

"I was also a captain under the official army camp, and then surrendered to the official army, and I was going to have a palm cut off, but fortunately, the family was merciful, so that I can still serve the righteous army today, and it is precisely because of the kindness of the family that you can still stand here in front of the palm plate with your life, otherwise your palm will not be there."

"Today I am fortunate to be written in the merit book, standing here to speak, all by the promotion of the family, it can be seen that the master has a broad mind, and you have heard of many awards before, everyone seeks to survive in the troubled times, I was born in the family of Zhong Ming Ding Food, the family is in the middle, was conscripted into the army, and I have also tasted your difficult life.

But the way of the world is like this, there is no other way, joining our subordinates of the rebel army, life may be worse and more miserable than in the official barracks, but I can guarantee that when the battle is about to kill the enemy, every leader will take the lead, sprint before the soldiers, after the battle, meritorious rewards, and punishment, no different from the officers and officers.

But just look at our dilapidated imperial court, the bitter cold land in the northwest of Zhongzhou, natural disasters are rampant, thousands of miles of red land, heavy taxes, and everyone's hearts are overwhelmed, not to mention the reduction of the imperial court tax order, but also aggravated, people are hungry and cannibalistic, miserable;

Talking about the Jiangnan of the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society, the sound of the orchestra and the sound of silk and bamboo, and the scene of prosperity and wealth, I am afraid that it is unimaginable in your heart, I was fortunate to go with my father once, and I am still unforgettable.

Such an unfair court, such an incompetent court, what do we still support him?

It's not like me, following the boss against his mother, and looking at this Shang lord who supervised the army, he was once a county magistrate in Shangnan City, or a Qingtian parent official who treats the people well and is benevolent to the government, these people can follow the master's subordinates, what else are you worried about?

In terms of meritorious deeds, the master has never said that he has made any merits, but without him, we can win the battle today?

They are all flesh and blood people, and they don't talk anymore, but now I only ask you one sentence, look at your left hand, and ask yourself, are you willing to die as the pawn of the house? ”

"Willing, willing......"

I don't know where a sound came from, and then it quickly spread to the entire captive camp, and a group of captives not only saved their lives, but also left their palms, and were able to smoothly join the rebel camp that they secretly longed for in their hearts.

But Yan Hou's speech was still unfinished, and after stopping the shouting of the crowd, he said: "Since you have chosen to follow the master, that is our brother, we will treat you with true affection, and we will surely share blessings and hardships in the future."

Now there are still those who are not convinced, you can say it, you don't need to be in charge, I dare to reward you with a knife, and let you be loyal to the emperor who does not open your eyes;

But if I find capricious people, huh! You don't have to be in charge, at the ends of the earth, I will take your head and apologize in front of the master! ”

In the prisoner camp, a powerful man suddenly came out, came to the stage and knelt down on one knee, and said: "I am also willing to do the duty of supervising the army for the family, but there is a capricious person, I will behead his dog first!" ”

Yang Kai looked at him and frowned slightly, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"It's just a nobody, called Li Jiangdong!"

"So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. Good name! Dare to take responsibility, give the position of captain ......"

......

After these words, Yang Kai looked back at the generals behind him, and they all agreed to incorporate this group of officers and soldiers.

Yang Kai could also use these people, plus some old brothers who were good at fighting and people who had made meritorious contributions, to serve as officers. Of the more than 2,000 captives, 1,000 were added to the cavalry and foot soldiers under the command of Qianhu, and another 1,000 people formed an army, and Qianhu was let Yanhou manage it.

He took this opportunity to simply break up the soldiers under the battalion, rearrange the team, and let Shang Rong read out the decision made according to the discussion with Shang Rong and others over the next few days:

The soldiers of the battalion in front of the battle were uniformly reorganized into a team of 12 people, with a captain; Four teams form a first-class army, the fourth-class form a household, which is served by 100 households, and the four households form an army, which is led by a thousand household officials, and the four armies are set up as a battalion, commanded by the general before the battle, and the general military order is issued by the master.

Specifically, the original small pipe team and the ten-division commander were changed to the captain, and a few brave men were appointed to be promoted to the first captain and deputy first, and the night was not collected to be a scout, and the original 100 households and 1,000 households were almost unchanged, and only each of them was given another standard-bearer, one for communication purposes, and the other to distinguish the identity of the chiefs.

The standard-bearers in each team lead the line, and they stand in front of the queue, so that the whole army has a clear idea in the advance and retreat, and also allows each leader to have a person around him to help him participate in the decision.

In addition, in addition to the rewarded banners, Yang Kai also specially ordered people to rush to make five new flags, the general set up the yellow flag as the lord of the four battalions, each battalion with three armies of foot soldiers, a household of cavalry and bows, and a household of scouts.

In this way, the Chinese army can know where the enemy is coming from, and then the yellow flag will issue instructions, so that when the corresponding corps responds, or advances excitedly, or lures the enemy to fight, the flag will be pressed forward, the flag will stop immediately, and the flag will be turned back.

In this regard, the officers and soldiers newly assigned to the battalion had a lot of experience, and in order to show their loyalty, they were all willing to give each other a gift, Yang Kai ordered his generals to come to the stage, explain and demonstrate one by one, give rewards, and then let the troops under the stage practice seriously.

On the field, he practiced for a few times, and only at dusk did he return to the city with his troops.
