Chapter XXVI Privately Co-opted

Back in the camp, Jiang Qi changed out of his armor and took a hot bath, and after washing off the blood and fatigue, he put on a clean military uniform and combed neatly before walking back to the tent.

Slowly drank two sips of the hot tea that had just been brewed by the soldiers, Jiang Qi, who had not slept all night, cheered up and said to Xu Huang on the side: "Gongming, bring in the two people who were arrested last night." ”

"No", Xu Huang took the order and left, and after a while, the curtain was opened again, and then under the escort of the pro-soldiers, two tightly tied people walked in.

When they came to the big tent, the soldiers pressed the wrists of the two and said sharply: "Kneel!" ”

"Hmph, if the dog thief wants to kill, why bother!" Hearing the order of the pro-soldiers, one of them, Du Yuan, who was slightly older, snorted coldly, and his anger was full of determination.

"Alright, let's go back first!" , Hearing someone scolding Jiang Qi, he was not angry, so he waved his hand casually and ordered.

"No!" When several pro-soldiers heard Jiang Qi's words, they saluted respectfully and stepped aside, pressing their hands on the hilt of their swords to prevent sudden incidents.

"The two strong men are quite backbone, Qi appreciates your actions last night, only those who are not afraid of death on the battlefield deserve to live better, how can you two be willing to serve the general, you can avoid death." , Jiang Qi put down the teacup and said lightly.

"Boy! It's just that you are worthy of the court dog thief! Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Du Yuan looked at the young Jiang Qi, who was a little excessive, and then scolded loudly.

"Bold, dare to insult my general!" , Hearing the other party's insults, Xu Huang, who was guarding on the side, immediately pressed his sword and roared, as if Jiang Qi gave an order, he would immediately slash the disrespectful person on the spot.

"Haha、、、、、 Gongming stepped back." , Jiang Qi laughed and stopped Xu Huang, then got up and said, "You said that I am a dog thief in the imperial court, what are you waiting for?" A gang of thieves who robbed homes and houses. If you don't think that the two of you have some fate with Qi, you think you can still live to this moment. Now that I think about it, Hu no one can read it out of your mouth, but it is a little humiliated. ”

"Hmph, now my brother is your defeated general, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it, why bother pretending!" Du Yuan still scolded without showing weakness.

"Haha, you may think too highly of yourself, and if you want to kill you, you just pinch an ant to death, but you don't care about your brothers, do you?" , In the face of Du Yuan's repeated scolding, he had already kicked him to death before, but the killing he took last night was too big, and he still hoped to make up for it. Then he walked forward and patted Du Yuandao, who was still angry.

"What do you mean 、、、", hearing Jiang Qi's words, another Liao Hua, who had not spoken, finally spoke. Since being captured, Liao Hua has guessed his fate, either beheaded or recruited, but when he saw Jiang Qi, who was like the son of a family, he wondered, could it be that the young man could call the shots.

"There are only two paths in front of you now, either live together or die together. But I don't want to see the two of you bury the two of you with the more than 3,000 people! Ignoring Liao Hua's contempt, Jiang Qi walked back to his seat with a smile and said.

"Despicable! Threaten us with captives, who are you! If you dare to do something that people and gods are angry with, I will not spare you! Guessing what it meant, Liao Hua looked at Jiang Qi with blazing eyes and asked angrily.

"Haha, you think too highly of yourself, you could have burned hundreds of thousands of troops with one fire, and you are still afraid?" Jiang Qi replied with a laugh, and at the same time his eyes changed, and swept the two coldly: "It's not that the general underestimates the two, or the two are not my opponents after practicing for a hundred years, the general might as well put his words down, if he wants to avenge his comrades who died in battle yesterday, even if he comes, he will not change his name or surname, and the captain Jiang Boxiao of the Yue Cavalry will also!" Say a happy can you return 、、、、"

Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Liao Hua and Du Yuan stared at Jiang Qi for a long time, and gradually they realized that although the person in front of them was very young, that murderous aura was enough to make them retreat, and it was not an accident that they were defeated in one move last night.

Who is willing to die if they can live, plus they are not loyal disciples of Taiping Dao, the two of them looked at each other and although they were not convinced, they helplessly knelt down on one knee and called Jiang Qi: "General."

Seeing that the two of them looked a little helpless, Jiang Qi smiled and motioned to his soldiers to untie the ropes for the two, and said: "Qi put the words here, one day the two of you will be lucky for today's decision, okay, you can report your name now, right?" ”

"Xiangyang native Du Yuan", "Liao Hua" and "have seen the general", the two of them saluted and reported to their homes.

Jiang Qi's eyes lit up when he heard the two sign up, especially the word Liao Hua evoked the memory in his mind, and Jiang Qi said after a while: "What position did you two hold in the Yellow Turban Army?" ”

"Both of us are small commanders, and we originally had a thousand people under our command, but after yesterday's battle, there were less than three hundred left around us." Liao Hua glanced at Jiang Qi and replied with some sadness.

"Hmm" Jiang Qi thought for a moment, and said after a while: "Gongming went to call Tong Yuanyi." ”

"No"

Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Xu Huang looked at the two people who had just surrendered and was a little uneasy, and after signaling to the soldiers on the side, he untied the sword at his waist and put it within Jiang Qi's reach, and then left.

Seeing Xu Huang's cautious appearance, Jiang Qi was a little comforted, originally Yang Feng and the two escaped from the battle, which made Jiang Qi a little dissatisfied with Hedong Camp and angry with Xu Huang at the same time. But now seeing Xu Huang's actions, he has a plan in his heart.

After Xu Huang walked out of the door, Jiang Qi motioned for Du Yuan and the two to sit down, and continued to ask, "How long have you two been in the army?" ”

"Our brother has been in the army for more than a month." Although he surrendered to Jiang Qi's obscenity, Du Yuanshi was not convinced, and said casually when he heard Jiang Qi's words.

"Well, that means you don't know how to lead soldiers?" Jiang Qi beckoned him to sit down, and did not blame him for his impoliteness.

"My brother has fought dozens of battles, and my brother has read some military books, and he is the youngest commander in the army." For Jiang Qi's generosity, Du Yuan didn't appreciate it very much, and immediately said unashamedly.

"It's just a rough pass, less than one ten-thousandth of a general." , Listening to Du Yuan's praise, Liao Hua's face turned red and then said. Compared with Du Yuan's rudeness, Liao Hua, who has read the book, knows how to advance and retreat a lot, and he can't help but flatter Jiang Qi in his words.

"Well, not anyone is born to train soldiers, this general is also slowly groping around, only willing to work hard, maybe you will become a famous general one day." Looking at the polite Liao Hua, Jiang Qi said with an appreciative smile, and then immediately classified him and Du Yuan.

As he was talking, a person outside the door said in a loud voice: "General Qiqi, the Yue Cavalry Battalion Marquis Tong Yuanyi was ordered to come to see you." ”

"Far Wing, come in!" , Hearing the voice of his junior brother, Jiang Qi responded.

Soon the curtain was lifted, and a young man who was more than eight feet tall and dressed in a Han army uniform with some wet hair strode in. Behind him was Xu Huang, who had just gone out.

Tong Fei stepped forward and saluted Jiang Qi respectfully, and said, "Junior brother has seen senior brother. ”

"Yuanyi came very quickly, I came to introduce to you, Du Yuan and Liao Hua, two strong men who just put into the tent." , Jiang Qi smiled and got up and pulled Tong Fei to introduce him.

"Liao Hua", "Du Yuan", "I have seen the general" Seeing that it was a young general again, Liao Hua was surprised and quickly pulled Du Yuan, who was sitting on the soft couch, to get up and salute.

"Since we are all brothers under the same account in the future, you don't have to be polite, I am Tong Fei and Tong Yuanyi, the military marquis of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and I am very happy to meet the two." , Looking at the yellow scarf on the heads of the two, Tong Fei, who understood everything, said with a smile.

"Okay, in the future, you will have more time to deal with, now let's get down to business." , After seeing that several people knew each other, Jiang Qi walked back to his seat and said.

"Senior brother, just say anything." After sitting down, Tong Fei asked.

"That's the case, counting the Yellow Turban Army brought back by the second brother's captives last night, there are now nearly four thousand prisoners in the camp, and it's not a matter to keep it locked up like this. Jiang Qi looked at Tong Fei and said.

"Senior brother, I'm afraid it's not Tingfei's thoughts, right? Thinking about the second brother in the battalion, I have led the infantry, and my brother wants to fly to train this group of soldiers! Despite his rough personality, Tong Fei is also a shrewd person, even when he heard Jiang Qi's meaning, he said with a smile.

"Haha, I know that I am far away, but you are young, and there are people who are not convinced, how can you have no confidence?" Jiang Qi said after laughing.

"Fei didn't let my brother down, but what will my brother do after I'm gone?" Tong Fei shook his head and smiled.

"Brother Wei has already thought about it, my third brother Jiang Bo has been your deputy general for some time, it's good to let him exercise, this time you take out some cadres to go with you, and the rest of the people will be handed over to him."

"Well, Jiang Bo is calm and witty, but he has a ability, and he can rest assured that he will be handed over to him, but the more he rides, he is a brave and ruthless person, and Bo wants to hold it down for a while." Tong Fei nodded in agreement.

"This is an experience, he will not stay for a long time in the future, and now there is a military order to calm down and have nothing to do. Now talking about the matter of incorporation, there is only one requirement for my brother, I would rather lack than abuse, only keep elite soldiers in my battalion, the one thousand collected is one thousand, the eight hundred collected will be eight hundred, and the rest of the unsuccessful ones will be given three days of rations and two hanging trays to let them return to their hometowns. ”

"The person who sent it back told them not to stay here, and that it was not our business to do what they were paid for. At that time, tell the departed people that if they dare to harm the people again, it will not be so easy next time. Jiang Qi said solemnly.

"The last general commanded, please rest assured that there are no weak soldiers under the senior brother." Tong Fei hurriedly got up and respectfully received the order.

"Hua, I am here to thank the brothers for the immortal grace of the general." After listening to Jiang Qi's arrangement, Liao Hua got up in surprise and said after saluting solemnly.

"Okay, Ben will do what he needs to do, and what the two of you can do in the future in the future will not be controlled by Qi Neng, you two can do it yourself." , Jiang Qi looked at Liao Hua for a while, looked at him without pretentiousness, sighed and said.

Then Jiang Qi turned to Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, you also follow Yuanyi down to practice, it is up to you to get to that point in the future." ”

"General!!" Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Xu Huang reacted for a while, he was a little excited at the moment and couldn't speak, he never thought that Jiang Qi trusted him so much, and it was still in the case of betrayal by Yang Feng and others.

"Before you go, you go to the Three Rivers Camp and select some soldiers who are not suitable for cavalry and take them away, as the commanders of the recruits!" No need for suspicion, Jiang Qi believes in Xu Huang's loyalty, pats Xu Huang who is still excited, and then says: "Qi believes that the people of Hedong will be as brave and loyal as Gongming." ”

"Generals, generals regardless of previous suspicions, reuse the Hedong Army, Huang Dai brothers have thanked the general, today's general's kindness, Huang Wan death can not be repaid." After listening to Jiang Qi's heartfelt words, and then recalling the eyes of the soldiers in the camp when he learned that Yang Feng and the others had escaped, Xu Huang had mixed feelings, and now he couldn't help but bow to the ground, and said excitedly.

"Okay, get up, my Han soldiers shed blood without tears, wipe away your tears, go and lead the troops well, let Qi know that the soldiers you led are vulnerable, and don't say that you have been a personal soldier for Qi in the future." Jiang Qi picked up Xu Huang, who was already in tears, and said sternly.

"Huang, Huang knows, Huang will live up to the trust of the lord, and the soldiers under Huang in the future will be the most elite soldiers under the lord." Xu Huang turned sideways to wipe away his tears and said firmly, even the name of Jiang Qi changed in his words.

"Then Qi will wait and see!" , Jiang Qi patted Xu Huang's arm vigorously again and nodded with a smile.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Soon, the news of Jiang Qi's collection of prisoners spread throughout every military camp of Changshe, and all the generals who knew him or not felt that he was too reckless. After all, there is a suspicion of supporting the army and committing taboos.

Especially when discussing with Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun was even more furious about how to deal with the captives, and immediately slapped the table, and at the same time, his good impression of Jiang Qi was also wiped out.

"Brother Yizhen and Jiang Boxiao are too presumptuous, but the first lieutenant dares to privately recruit prisoners to expand his strength, if the generals are like this, it will be a mess."

"Gongwei is angry, I think Boxiao is also a little young, but some mistakes are inevitable in leading the troops for the first time, so let the middle waiter of the Northern Army go and talk about it." Although Huangfu Song was also a little unhappy, he knew the consequences of the discord between the generals and the commanders, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Hmph, okay then. It's not that he is the captain of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, but he can be killed today with a little bit. Zhu Jun snorted coldly and shook his hand and left.

Huangfu Song looked at Zhu Jun who came out of the door and sighed, picked up a plate of music books on the table and put it on a lacquered wooden box. Then he said to himself: "Hey, how can Bo Xiao say that you are, you are still too young, but your talent is jealous!" ”

After speaking, Huangfu Song summoned a personal soldier, and after giving him a few words, he handed over the notebook and wooden box that he had placed. Soon a fast horse galloped out of Chosha and headed west. Unlike the Detective Rider, the rider who ran out this time carried three small red flags.
