This is the difference between a military general and a civilian official.

If you are a civil official, even if you show great talent, it will be difficult for the other party to be truly convinced. Even if he is complimentary, but in private, he will hate because of jealousy, and secretly make bad is especially known.

Military generals are different, often the more capable of recruiting and fighting generals, the more straightforward their personalities are. Such people call themselves heroes and value heroes even more. Once you meet someone who is better than yourself, you will not only be convinced, but also often feel a sense of pity. At this time, the only difference between the two sides is only the difference in the masters they serve.

Today's Ma Wei admires and respects Yang Chendong, and when he heard the other party say that he did not support the prisoners as soldiers, of course he had to explain it.

"Prisoners?" Guan Ying's face was also shocked when he heard it, obviously this kind of thought was something he had never thought of, so he would naturally be caught off guard.

"Yes, it can be said that the army is filled with prisoners." Yang Chendong saw that both of them didn't understand, so he opened his mouth to explain: "The two of you, let's not hide it, with the little strength we have on hand, if we want to really quell the chaos and yellow bandits, we really can't do it." If nothing else, if the other side blindly retreats to defend the city, we will not be able to give full play to our strength. This time we won, but by a fast and odd margin. But what if the other party is prepared? ”

Yang Chendong, whose eyes wandered over Guan Ying and Ma Wei, continued: "If we are prepared, the lack of troops will eventually be our shortcoming, they only need to fight a war of attrition with us, even if we exchange ten people for one of our lives, I'm afraid we can't afford it." ”

The weakness of too few troops, without Yang Chendong to state it, Guan Ying and Ma Wei naturally saw it clearly. But what can they do? All the soldiers of Guangdong have been transferred, and now there is really no extra strength to fight the yellow bandits. However, the method proposed by Yang Chendong seems to be good, if they can really use it, it is a good way to expand their strength, and even if they can better protect themselves.

But the use of prisoners as soldiers, which has no precedent in the Ming Dynasty, is really difficult for Guan Ying and Ma Wei.

Seeing that the two of them just bowed their heads and remained silent, that is, they did not agree or object, Yang Chendong immediately smiled, "That's it, Ben Qincha is not embarrassed by you, presumably the two of you also know that I, the Qincha, have the power to use some battlefield resources." In this case, these people will be temporarily requisitioned by me, and in the future, all the blame will be borne by Ben Chin, and it has nothing to do with the two of them, and you can put your heart in your stomach. ”

As soon as Yang Chendong said this, Guan Ying and Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the emperor's will did not explicitly say that Yang Chendong could use all the battlefield resources, this time he really didn't pay any silver taels for inviting mercenaries to participate in the war. For this reason, there are indeed rumors from above, saying that in order to make up for the loyalty of the brave man, he does have the right to share the resources of the battlefield. It's like the previous punishment of Jia and Han Qingyin.

Even if he has such power, prisoners are also a kind of battlefield resource, and it is certainly feasible for him to use them as soldiers. Even if they have no right to oppose it, and it has nothing to do with them if something happens in the future, how can they not breathe a sigh of relief?

"If you say so, then do as you say. But the last general still reminded the adults that no matter how loyal and brave the prisoners are, there is always very little loyalty, and they need to be on guard at all times. Ma Wei said in a concerned tone. He didn't express his opinion just now, and he even faintly objected, and he didn't know if Qin Chada would be angry with himself, but now that he has the opportunity to make a sycophant, he naturally won't let it go.

Ma Wei expressed his attitude, Guan Ying was unwilling to be left behind, and immediately said: "What General Ma said is true, and the last general also agrees very much. ”

"Okay." Seeing that both of them expressed their attitudes, Yang Chendong also breathed a sigh of relief, "So the matter has been settled like this." Benchin will leave some of them into the army, but most of the captives will still be returned to you, and guardianship will be arranged. ”

The matter was finally negotiated, Yang Chendong said goodbye to Guan Ying and Ma Wei, and called Luo Po, the head of Leng Feng's Second Regiment, Lu Zhuo, the head of the auxiliary corps, and Kong Jie and Song Zhe, the two regimental political commissars. "The matter of the prisoners has been negotiated, and it is up to you to choose the right person first. But remember, you must follow the rules, but if the problem is serious, you must not accept it, otherwise whoever has a problem will be held responsible. ”

Hearing that the army can be expanded, although it is only a few prisoners, Luo Po and Lu Zhuo are very happy. They took the time to look at it just now, and among the prisoners of these yellow bandits, there are indeed some good seedlings who are strong and strong, and if they are enlightened and can be used for them, they must be good soldiers in the near future. As for who can and can't accept it, there is a plan for it, and there are political commissars with a number of battalion-level instructors and company-level instructors to assist them, so presumably the problem will not be very big.

Even if the problem was not big, Luo Po and the four of them all agreed with excitement, and then began to select their available talents among the prisoners.

Luo Po and the others went to select the source of soldiers, and Yang Chendong was also assessing the soldiers under him. For example, Peng Yue is the object of his first assessment.

In this battle, Peng Yue made a lot of meritorious contributions, and slashed Geng Jun, the head of the four heavenly kings among the yellow bandits. Such military exploits will not be ignored in any army, so Peng Yue was also personally received by Yang Chendong.

"You are Peng Yue, I remember that you have good foot strength, and you performed very well in this battle." In a quiet military tent at the edge of the battlefield, Yang Chendong saw Peng Yue who was half-kneeling on the ground.

was called by Yang Chendong, and Peng Yue was a little excited. He had seen that this person's identity was not simple before, and now that he had been praised by others, he was naturally overjoyed. "Thank you for the chief's praise, everything is what Pengyue should do."

"Hehe, you don't need to call me any chief, you can call me the sixth young master." Looking at Peng Yue, who was not arrogant, Yang Chendong felt that this was a good seedling, and immediately said his identity with a smile on his face.

"Six... Sixth Young Master. Suddenly, hearing Yang Chendong call himself by his name, Peng Yue's expression was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened, and then his whole body seemed to tremble, so his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "See... I've seen the sixth young master, the little one doesn't know your identity, and there have been many snubbing before, so please punish you. ”

It's no wonder that Peng Yue is so excited, in the Red Embedded City, who doesn't know the name of the Sixth Young Master? There are even quite a few people who have seen his true dignity. It's just that Peng Yue didn't have the opportunity to see him because he entered Chiji City late, which has always been a regret in his heart.

Now that he was finally able to see his true face, it was so close, and it was so close that it could be described as a separate meeting, how could he not be excited on such an occasion, how could he not put his knees on the ground, and the excitement was inexplicable.

"Hehe, get up." Seeing Peng Yue's performance, Yang Chendong couldn't help laughing. This person's performance is enough to prove that he doesn't know his identity, but he can still have such an excellent performance on the battlefield, which is enough to show that he is a hard-working person, and such a character is the most suitable to join Leng Feng.

"Yes, thank you, Sixth Young Master." When Peng Yue heard Yang Chendong's words, he immediately got up on the ground happily, and then stood in front of Yang Chendong in a standard military posture.

"Yes, he is in good spirits, his eyes are bright, and he is a good seedling, but do you know why I want to tell you the identity of my sixth young master?" Yang Chendong looked at Peng Yue, who was standing in front of him, looking so tall, and asked with a smile on his face.

"This... Forgive my subordinates for being stupid and not knowing. Peng Yue thought hard for a moment, and then shook his head in distress.

"Hahaha." Seeing Peng Yue's innocent appearance, Yang Chendong couldn't help laughing again, and then looked at Hu Mang standing beside him and said, "Tell him about it." ”

"Yes." Hu Mang agreed, then looked at Peng Yue and said, "You remember, but anyone who can be called the Sixth Young Master, with such qualifications, is equivalent to being allowed to join Leng Feng." This is also the secret of Leng Feng, now, you have it, do you know? ”

Peng Yue is not stupid, on the contrary, his mind reacts extremely quickly, otherwise he would not have dealt with those beasts in the mountains for so many years without the slightest damage. Now listening to Hu Mang's words, he understood something immediately, and said excitedly, "Thank you for the promotion and cultivation of the sixth young master, Peng Yue will perform well in the future battles and live up to the expectations of the sixth young master." ”

"Wait." Yang Chendong interrupted Peng Yue's words of gratitude with a timely speech, but shook his head lightly and said, "The rules for joining Leng Feng were set by me at the earliest. If there is a rule, it is something that everyone must follow. Now that you have performed well and have been recognized by Young Master Ben, there must still be an assessment that you should have. As for the martial arts exam, you have already handed in a satisfactory answer sheet, but I just don't know how educated you are? You know, as one of Leng Feng's elite team members, you must be literate, and you can also write and read maps, which one will you know? ”

Speaking of education, Peng Yue's face did flash a look of embarrassment. Seeing this scene in Yang Chendong's eyes, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

I have to admit that Peng Yue's performance on the battlefield is very good, and he learned that the other party was originally from Orion, and it has only been more than half a year since he joined the auxiliaries. But in line with the principle of using talents in an eclectic manner, he still plans to give the other party a chance to assess it in advance. But if the other party really doesn't know a word, then there is no chance to enter Leng Feng, this rule cannot be broken by him, otherwise, there will be one and two, I am afraid that it will not be long before Leng Feng will be a group of martial artists in the world, such a team may be able to perform well for a while, but if you want to last for a long time, it is absolutely impossible. An army without culture and knowledge is destined to not go far.
