Chapter 170: Governing the Army

Wang Ben gave Zhao Tuo only half a month.

However, in the first three days, the Hanoi army that ordered the gathering of the various cities and towns arrived here, and the other soldiers were regrouped. So by the time all the people gathered for this song, there were only twelve days left to really train.

"A hundred people teach war, teach success, and combine a thousand people; Thousands of people are taught, and ten thousand people are combined; Ten thousand people will teach it to the three armies. The people of the three armies, divided and combined, are the law of the war, teach it, and try it to read. ”

Zhao Tuo stood on the military platform, looked at the thousands of soldiers in the battalion who had lined up, and spoke to several subordinates beside him.

When Zhao Tuo was a Lang official in Xianyang, he was not idle, not only from the Bangwei Mansion to find this new art of war to study, but also from the homes of Yang Xiong, Zhao Ben and others borrowed early military books such as "Sun Tzu" and "Wu Zi" to read.

"What the military Hou said is extremely true, using this method to train soldiers, you will definitely be able to train a strong army."

Zhang He immediately praised the five hundred lords from Yingchuan County, with a flattering smile on his face. Since seeing Zhao Tuo, this person has been looking for opportunities to praise him no less than ten times.

Zhao Guang nodded silently on the side.

The black buttocks picked at their buttocks and said: "I understand this, we were under the command of General Li last year, and we first practiced separately with a bunch, a tun, and a hundred, and then gathered in a thousand people to conduct military exercises." Hehe, at that time, our military candidates were in the limelight in the military exercises, and even General Li personally called us to the military platform to praise us, saying that the military candidates were very good, and there will be a future in the future. No, in the blink of an eye, he made a military song, and General Li really has a vision. ”

Hearing this, Xi Qigu and Shima both nodded, they came here like this back then.

Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "It is worthy of Zhao Junhou, and he can be praised by General Li when he is in the army, which really makes us admire!" ”

Zhao Tuo didn't care about Zhang He's sycophancy, and a look of remembrance flashed in his eyes. A year ago, he was still a pawn who stood in the army to train in the army, but a year later, he became a military candidate leading 5,000 soldiers, and the change of identity was quite impressive.

"Thanks to the fact that I personally entered the barracks and started as a pawn, I can understand all aspects of military training, and now that I am a military candidate, when I come to train the army, I don't have to be in a hurry, this is probably a combination of practice and theory."

Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart, his thoughts returned to his eyes, and he glanced at the thousands of soldiers lined up in the school field.

Needless to say, the order of the 500 Guanzhong Army stood neatly and neatly, all with their heads held high.

The 2,000 Hanoi troops are not bad, after all, they are regular troops who have been trained and on the battlefield, and this kind of formation is a minor problem.

The remaining 1,000 Shangdang troops are also quite good-looking, which shows that Zhao Guang has some skills.

It was almost the five hundred Yingchuan people under Zhang He's command.

Yingchuan County is the land of Korea, and it was only three or four years since Qin destroyed Korea, so these five hundred Koreans have not received much training, and Zhang He may not be thinking about training, and the five hundred people stand crookedly, and the vertical column can stand in a circular arc.

But compared with the Hanzhong military array on the side, these five hundred Yingchuan troops can be called highly disciplined.

I saw that half of the 1,000 Hanzhong people could obey the command, and they stood almost the same as the Yingchuan people, standing in a circle formation.

The other half is mostly composed of Qiang barbarians, who stand in circles, squares, trapezoids, or a combination of various shapes. Gathered together in twos and threes, although they did not dare to make loud noises, they still whispered to each other in various barbarian words, and from time to time let out low laughter.

Zhao Tuo's face darkened.

Although his song is a patchwork force, the two soldiers of the Guanzhong Army and the Hanoi Army account for half, and they can go to the battlefield with a little training and cooperation, and the Shangdang Army and the Yingchuan Army are slightly worse, and they can also be second-line troops after training, but this thousand Han soldiers are the most headache.

"Haven't you arrived yet?"

Zhao Tuo asked, a while had passed since the time of the order to gather, and the three two or five hundred lords under his command, as well as the five hundred Zhihe and Xi Qigu directly under Zhao Tuo's direct jurisdiction, had already arrived at his side, but the Qiang dagger had not yet appeared.

Hearing this, the black buttocks said angrily: "A barbarian is a barbarian, in my opinion, it is better to take the opportunity to remove the barbarian of Qiang Dagger and replace one of our people as two or five hundred masters." ”

"I can't do it. Those Qiang barbarians are fierce and fierce, and they don't listen to commands, so they can move as much as Qiang Dagger can command, if they are rashly replaced, I am afraid that those barbarians will riot. ”

Zhang He hurriedly spoke, staring at Zhao Tuo, hoping to attract his attention.

The Xi Qigu on the side also spoke up: "Zhang Wubai Lord said that it is indeed reasonable, I heard that this Qiang dagger was born in a large Qiang barbarian tribe, and it is quite prestigious among these barbarians, this group of people can come here from Hanzhong, it all depends on this person's constraints, if this position is replaced by someone else, I am afraid it will not be managed." ”

The words of the two were similar to what Zhao Tuo said yesterday, and the black buttocks could only be suffocated.

Zhao Tuo's face was expressionless, just like Xi Qigu and Zhang He said, the barbarian army has always been the most difficult to manage, not only because of the language barrier, but also because its customs and thoughts are very different from those of Huaxia.

The Qin State ruled them, relying entirely on the locals to govern the razor, set up a special Yidao in the local area for management, and when they were recruited to join the army, they generally did some hard work of digging ditches and sending grain, and rarely went to the battlefield to kill.

That's why this Qiang dagger has no fear and dares to put up a shelf for himself. Because Zhao Tuo really can't replace him because of a trivial matter, those uncivilized barbarians don't recognize outsiders.

"What is the origin of the two five hundred masters under the Qiang dagger?"

Zhao Tuo looked sideways at Xi Qigu, as the captain of the short army, Xi Qigu also served as a secretary, and he had a deep understanding of the various military officials in the army.

"Two five hundred masters, one is named Qiang Gu, who is also from Qiang barbarians, and has a slight understanding of Qin language, but has a rude personality, and most of those uncivilized barbarians are under his command."

"The other person is named Bai Rong, who is of mixed Qin and Di blood, and it is said that his father is the Bai clan of Yixian County, and he serves as a county official in a county in Hanzhong, and those people are all under his command." Xi Qigu said, pointing to the five hundred people in the Hanzhong army who could barely stand in line.

Zhao Tuo said "um", and saw that the military official standing in front of the five hundred people was a man close to thirty, although he was of mixed blood between the two races, but in addition to wearing a long crown of veneer on his head that symbolized the title of the doctor, he was dressed almost like those barbarians, and his face was also bearded, which was quite wild.

At this time, the tall Qiang dagger came from outside the gate, and as he walked, he greeted those Qiang barbarians, and immediately laughed, and the noisy sound made the soldiers of the other phalanxes look over.

"If he is allowed to continue like this, military discipline will definitely be corrupted, and it is better to punish him severely." Shiruma whispered beside him.

"I'm measured."

Zhao Tuo was noncommittal, and when he saw this, he didn't say more.

At this time, the Qiang dagger also walked to the pawn platform and arched his hand at Zhao Tuo casually.

Zhao Tuo asked: "I have issued a military order to assemble, and all the generals have arrived on time, why are the two or five hundred lords of Qiang late?" ”

Qiang Dagger laughed and said in barbarian language, and finally said to Zhao Tuo in Qin language: "I misremembered the time of that military order, and I was hungry just now, so I went to eat some wine and meat, so I came a little late, and the little army is waiting for forgiveness." ”

Hearing this, Black Buttocks and the others were furious, if they hadn't been afraid that Zhao Tuo was here, I am afraid that they would have scolded angrily.

However, Zhao Tuo was not only not annoyed, but said kindly: "I see, there is a reason for the order of the two or five hundred main offenders of Nian Qiang today, and I have not strictly affirmed the military law, so this matter will not be investigated." However, the army needs to judge the legal system, reward and punish clearly, and the two or five hundred lords of Qiang still hope to take this matter as a warning and not to commit it again. ”

"Haha, I know, I know."

When Qiang Dagger heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he arched his hand casually.

Zhao Tuo nodded, turned to the generals and said, "The people have arrived, so the formal training will begin today." Shima, Black Buttocks, and Zhao Guang, all three of you have experience in battle formations, and today you will start training the Golden Drum Banner first, so that the soldiers can recognize the banner and distinguish the Golden Drum, and the thousands of people will first cooperate with each other skillfully. ”

"Only, obey the orders of the army."

The three generals will give their hands to the order.

Zhao Tuo said again: "Zhang 500 Lord, 500 people under your command, for the time being, practice the army first, set the ranks, and are vertically and horizontally." Within three days, it is necessary to let the soldiers know the advance and retreat, and then start to identify the golden drum banner before they can practice with the troops. ”

"Only, obey the orders of the army."

Zhang He had a bitter face, knowing that in Zhao Tuo's heart, his own army was relatively poor.

Zhao Tuo looked at the Qiang dagger again, and said gently: "Qiang two or five hundred masters, your people and horses are also following the practice ranks, and within three days, you must also let the soldiers know how to advance and retreat, and do not slack off." ”

Qiang Dagger replied casually: "No." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled, stood on the stage, and spoke loudly to the generals and all the soldiers in the audience.

"Ben will be ordered by General Wang to train his troops to kill the enemy."

"For all soldiers, the system must be determined first, and the laws and regulations must be made clear first."

"Starting today, set up a camping table, set up a gate, and set up a time, if it is outdated, then sit in the law."

"The army is tied to each other, the upper and lower levels are connected, and each protects each other, and if anyone violates the order without permission, he will be punished."

"There are no two orders in the army, those who give two orders will be punished, those who stay in the order will be punished, and those who lose the order will also be punished!"

"If there is a violator, you will not be spared!"

Zhao Tuo's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes swept over the sergeant.

In the end, it fell on the leader of the Qiang people.
