Chapter 17: Knights of the Three Rivers

When the depressed Jiang Qi returned to the Yueqi camp, Cao Cao had been waiting for a long time, and the two were not polite when they saw each other, so they saluted each other and walked into the Chinese army's tent together, and then soon gathered here.

As the heavy war drums of the Chinese army sounded, the generals of the army gathered, and when they looked at the main seat of the Chinese army's big tent was not Jiang Qi, more than a dozen generals above the tun level all turned their eyes to Jiang Qi.

Seeing this, Jiang Qi, who was sitting at the bottom, got up and said: "Everyone, at today's court meeting, His Majesty ordered the formation of reinforcements to rescue the army trapped in Changshe, and now I will introduce to you, this is General Cao Mengde, the commander of the reinforcements. ”

"I've seen the general、、、、、、" Hearing Jiang Qi's words, everyone hurriedly saluted, but there was not much respect in their eyes.

You must know that the cavalry lieutenant is one level younger than the captain, when you hear that the other party is just a cavalry lieutenant but the main general, everyone present knows that he is a person who leads the army by relying on relationships, as for the ability, it is a matter of opinion. Now the salute is just looking at the face of his own captain.

Of course, at this moment, Cao Cao knew very well in his heart, although Jiang Qi was nominally the vanguard and belonged to his own commander, could he really command it? Looking at the wolf-like generals under his command, who are good at stubble, especially the four strong men wearing different armor at the front, I'm afraid they are all very human.

After taking a short look and taking a breath, Cao Cao got up and saluted back and said, ", this time I can be appreciated by Your Majesty and lead an army alone, I am really afraid." I'm afraid it will be against the emperor's grace, but when I saw the strong men in the hands of Bo Xiaoxian's brother, I was determined at this moment, and I hope that Bo Xiao and you will take more care of him in the future. After speaking, Cao Cao saluted Jiang Qi again.

"Brother Meng De is polite." Jiang Qi smiled in return.

"Okay, Cao came here this time just to hear how Bo Xiao and the vanguard army dealt with this rescue, and I have been ordered by the general to provide the necessary materials for Bo Xiao, and Bo Xiao will sit in the handsome position." Saying that, Cao Cao stepped down from the handsome position in the middle.

Seeing Cao Cao's move, the soldiers in the big tent couldn't help but have a good impression in their hearts, of course, Jiang Qi was also slightly modest and sat down unceremoniously on the main seat, and at the same time looked up to Cao Cao again in his heart.

Thinking that Cao Cao had some means, but at this time, Jiang Qi did not delve into it, and after sitting down, he asked, "I don't know where the five hundred and three river knights assigned by the general arrived?" ”

"The general's order has been issued, and it should be in less than an hour to calculate the time, by the way, in order to let the five hundred knights not drag down the Yue Cai, the generals selected are all people from the land east of the river, and these people should have trained together at ordinary times."

"It's so good, and I also ask Brother Meng De to treat Bo Xiao and thank the general, oh、、、 by the way, I don't know what the rear army of Meng De can set off?" , Hearing Cao Cao say this, Jiang Qi was still quite satisfied with the knight who joined temporarily, and then asked again.

"Because this is a temporary assembly of reinforcements, plus the collection of materials, it will take five days at the earliest."

"Well, then my vanguard army will set off as soon as possible." Jiang Qi said after hearing this.

"When will Boxiao leave?"

"If the supplies can be given in time, Qi plans to leave tonight."

"Tonight! Is it too rushed? Cao Cao said worriedly.

"The military situation is changing rapidly, as a reinforcement, our department arrives sooner, and the Changshe army has more hope of survival, so I hope that Meng De will allow 、、、、、、"

"Presumably, Bo Xiao has a conclusion in his heart, so he won't say much, why do you need to say it bluntly, now there are still four hours before dark, and Cao should gather supplies for the army as soon as possible." Seeing that Jiang Qi's determination had been decided, Cao Cao nodded in agreement.

"Well, Qi is welcome, in order to arrive as soon as possible, my whole army needs two horses, there are only a thousand war horses in the current army, and I hope that Brother Meng De will mobilize another two thousand horses, and also mobilize the grain and grass materials for half a month, and a thousand strong crossbows."

"Grain, grass, crossbows and bows are not a problem, but there may not be so many war horses for a while, you must know that the last time the army went out to take away a lot of war horses." Cao Cao said with a sad face.

"Meng De rest assured, I asked the general when Qi went down to court, and the general said that he would find a way."

"Okay, don't stay long, let's go and prepare now." After speaking, Cao Cao got up and retired.

After sending Cao Cao away, the others sat back in their original positions, and seeing the eager soldiers below, Jiang Qi said with a smile: "What? Looking at the appearance of you, what you know is to let you wait to fight, and if you don't know, you think you're going to find your daughter-in-law! As soon as Jiang Qi said this, everyone immediately burst into laughter.

"It's much better to fight than to find a woman, when I think of galloping on the battlefield, Fei is inexplicably excited, and my brother said that this time Fei can be a pioneer." Not long ago, in the first battle, he even picked five 'generals' of the enemy, and Zhang Fei, who was known as the first fierce general of the Yue cavalry, jumped out first to receive the order.

"Then according to the words of the sixth brother, won't I have one less sister-in-law in the future? Besides, I let you out of the limelight last time, so why don't you get to me this time! Tong Fei laughed dissatisfiedly.

"How can it be like that, how can you let Yuanyi take risks as an elder brother, this time it's my brother who does it for me!" Zhang Fei smiled and patted Tong Fei's shoulder with a look of love and said.

"Go, go! According to this, it won't be the turn of the sixth brother! The second brother and the fifth brother are still murmuring here! Tong Fei continued unscrupulously, "Otherwise, whoever wins will be the pioneer!" ”

"It's such a long wing, I don't listen to my brother's words!" Hearing Tong Fei's words, Zhang Fei couldn't help but shrink his head, it was his turn to compete, Zhang Fei knew that he couldn't be the opponent of Tong Fei, a little spear god, of course, it was already everyone's consensus, but Zhang Fei had to put on the posture of a brother.

"Okay, okay, how to arrange Qi to know." Jiang Qi interrupted the quarrel between the two, but he was still very happy to see their strong fighting spirit, and then Jiang Qi looked at Guan Yu and said, "How is the situation in the camp now, second brother?" ”

Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Guan Yu put away his smile and said, "Now the morale of the whole battalion is strong, and you can rush to the killing field with an order." ”

"Okay, all the soldiers obey the order!" As soon as he heard that the morale was available, Jiang Qi immediately slapped the table and stood up and said loudly.

"The last general!" All the generals stood up one after another to promise.

"First, this time it will be a long-distance attack, so only the fighters will be brought, and when you return to the camp, you will order the personnel under your command to immediately clean up their equipment and be ready to assemble at any time. Second, each person must bring enough dry food and drinking water for three days, and there will be no cooking time on the road, and third, when the supplies and horses arrive, they will be distributed immediately, and the spare mounts will bring camping supplies and half a month's food and grass, and a few veterinarians from the rear camp will follow and take care of the horses. Fourth, those who participated in the war must write a suicide note and stay in the camp, even if they cannot come back, they cannot do without a word of explanation. ”

When they heard Jiang Qi's fourth point, everyone's hearts moved, the people where they were were all on the battlefield, knowing the sorrow of the soldiers, after taking a deep breath, everyone shouted "Nuo", no one laughed at this matter, and they would no longer regard going to the battlefield as child's play.

As soon as the order was heard, the whole battalion of soldiers moved, the soldiers were busy packing up their armor and polishing their weapons, the grooms were in a hurry to put on their horses, and the Huotou battalion was busy making dry food and bread. More than 1,000 people in the battalion did their own thing, but they did not appear to be chaotic.

Of course, Jiang Qi was not idle, put on his armor with the help of his own soldiers, and began to sort out weapons and mounts, and the preparations before the expedition could not be sloppy, especially weapons and mounts, which were the closest partners of military generals on the battlefield.

Just as he was about to stop, the soldiers came to report that the knight had arrived and was waiting a mile outside the gate.

As the center of the empire, the Land of the Three Rivers is generally the first region to mobilize young and strong people in the campaign, and it is also the main production area of the imperial cavalry.

Now that he heard that the knights of the three rivers were coming, Jiang Qi hurriedly walked out of the gate, he wanted to see how the elite people of the empire were. Out of the gate, Jiang Qi saw several men dressed in the leather armor of the county soldiers standing respectfully outside the gate for more than ten steps, looking towards the camp tent from time to time.

When Jiang Qi, who was dressed in bright armor, walked out with his two relatives, one of the men with thin cheeks and a clumsy short beard on his jaw hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Jiang Qi and said, "Yang Feng, a subordinate from Hedong, has seen the general. Then the rest of the people also followed and saluted.

Jiang Qi helped him and said, "Colleagues have worked hard, Qi is polite here, and it is an honor to be able to walk with you today." ”

"There, there! I have been waiting for a long time to hear the name of the general, and it is really an honor to see it today. Yang Feng said with a flattering face.

"Yes, yes, it's a blessing to be able to see the general's demeanor today." Several people behind Yang Feng echoed at the same time.

"Haha, okay, okay, you're welcome, let's get here today, now that the war is busy, let's talk about these soldiers." Jiang Qi smiled, he didn't have time to laugh at them, and went straight to the point.

"Yes, yes, yes" Yang Feng nodded, and then said: "This time, we were ordered to transfer, and a total of 500 people were all soldiers, strong men, and merchants from the land east of the river, and most of them were county soldiers. ”

"Oh, what are your official positions?" , Jiang Qi looked at the five hundred soldiers in the distance, all dressed in the armor of the county soldiers, and it seemed that their morale was not bad, but the equipment was a little worse, and the armor alone was a few grades worse than the Yue Cavalry Battalion.

"Because it was temporarily mobilized from the various camps, our official positions are more miscellaneous, and the lowly position is now the largest commander in this team." Yang Feng replied respectfully.

"Well, you'll have to regroup. In this way, the whole team will enter the school field immediately, and someone will come!! After thinking for a while, Jiang Qi ordered.

"The little ones are here!" The soldiers who had been staying by his side hurriedly went out and replied.

"Let Guan Sima dispatch all the military commanders under his command to the school field to standby."

"No"

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

The county soldiers entered the camp and looked at the crooked queue under the general's stage, Jiang Qi seemed to have returned to the time when he had just taken over the Yue Cavalry Battalion. Thinking of this, Jiang Qi unconsciously looked at the Yue knights on their left, who were on standby in stark contrast to them.

After retracting his thoughts in the middle of the ring, Jiang Qi said loudly: "Those who serve as commanders and above in the army are listed!" ”

Hearing Jiang Qi's order, five hundred Three Rivers knights who were looking at him curiously looked at each other, and more than thirty people came out after half a day.

Before they could figure it out, they heard Jiang Qi say again: "According to the camp to which they originally belonged, the officials and the big ones are in front of them, and they are separated!" ”

Soon, with Jiang Qi's words, more than thirty people divided into three piles, and Jiang Qi then ordered all the soldiers of Sanhe to immediately find the various camp officials.

Hearing Jiang Qi's words, the whole army began to move in a panic, and it took a lot of effort to find his place in the last place.

However, despite this, Jiang Qi was still disappointed, and many of the soldiers assigned from various barracks still did not have an officer. After being disappointed, Jiang Qi was naturally prepared, and then gave an order, and Guan Yu, who got the order, began to reorganize the team with the forty army commanders who had been transferred.

Picking the essence and removing the slag, 500 people formed two songs according to the formation of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and the rest were less than 100 people to form a supplementary tun. In the Hedong battalion, the chief of the original army was demoted to the commander of the army, and the chief of the army was demoted to the soldier, the chief of the Quzhong was served by the commander of the Yue cavalry battalion, and the marquis of the two songs was served by Yang Feng and a team leader named Li Le in the original army.

Although there were some complaints about the downgrading, but because they were originally county soldiers, they can now enjoy the treatment of the forbidden army, and they are also the Yue cavalry battalion who can't even sharpen their heads, and they are all relieved after a while.

For the soldiers above the original team leader, they were all promoted, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be promoted to the next level when they returned to the place after the battle, and this kind of happy arrangement also made them agree with Jiang Qi's arrangement.

An hour later, the soldiers of the Hedong battalion were reorganized and moved into the temporarily covered camp, and Jiang Qi also followed into the barracks, but this time he was not the commander of the first army to deal with government affairs, and now he has one more important thing to do.
