Early in the morning of the second day after Liang Fuchen arrived at Huamachi, he summoned all the middle-level military attaches of the "Wei **".

"Wei **" is a new army trained by Qi Bin himself, but if it were not for the strong support of Liang Fuchen, "Wei **" would never have the scale and achievements it has today.

It can be said that Liang Fuchen's dedication to "Wei **" is not much worse than Qi Bin.

Since learning the news of Qi Bin's death, Liang Fuchen was saddened by Qi Bin's untimely death, and was also very worried that "Wei **" would gradually weaken and die because of Qi Bin's death.

At this time, the new commander of "Wei **" is very important.

Therefore, Liang Fuchen also attached great importance to this summons, and he wanted to personally choose a successor for Qi Bin.

*

On the other side, after being summoned by Liang Fuchen, the middle-level military attachés of "Wei **" quickly rushed to the Governor's Palace.

In the lobby of the Governor's Palace, more than ten military attachés of "Wei **", under the leadership of the adjutant general Niu Ji, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said in unison: "The inferior people have seen Liang Ge Lao!" ”

Their voices are not loud, but they are full of energy and order.

Liang Fuchen nodded, raised his hand and said, "Let's get up quickly!" …… Speaking of which, 'Wei **' was also created by me myself, which embodies a lot of my hard work, and everyone is not an outsider, so there is no need to be polite. ”

Hearing Liang Fuchen's words, all the military attaches felt a trace of cordiality in their hearts and stood up one after another.

After the military attachés got up, Liang Fuchen did not speak immediately, but looked around and looked at the people in front of him seriously.

The establishment of "Wei **" has only been two years, and most of the military attaches of "Wei **" are young people, even the oldest deputy general, Niu Ji, is only in his early thirties.

Standing in front of Liang Fuchen, these young military attachés all held their heads up and behaved competently, giving people a sense of vigor and vigor.

But Liang Fuchen was keenly aware of the confusion and hesitation hidden in the depths of these military attachés.

Obviously, because of Qi Bin's unfortunate death, this army has lost its pillar and backbone, and its current vigor and toughness are only in vain.

After discovering this, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and felt more and more sorry for Qi Bin's untimely death.

"Huh?"

At this time, Liang Fuchen suddenly sighed softly.

Liang Fuchen only summoned all the middle-level military attaches of "Wei **" this time, and these military attaches standing in front of Liang Fuchen now are all military positions with thousands and hundreds of households.

However, just as Liang Fuchen looked around, he found a lower-level military attache wearing the uniform of a chief flag officer mixed in with the crowd.

This discovery made Liang Fuchen have some doubts in his heart, he knew that the military attaches of the "Wei **" would never disobey their orders at will, and they must have a reason for bringing this chief flag officer to him.

But Liang Fuchen didn't ask immediately, but turned his gaze to the deputy general Niu Ji and asked: "After hearing the news of Qi Bin's death in battle, I didn't sleep well all night with heartache, I have always regarded Qi Bin as a nephew, and this matter is also a great blow to me!" But you can't just care about the heartache, you are the elite soldiers trained by Qi Bin himself, they are all iron-clad men, and they will definitely become the backbone of the imperial army in the future, but you must work harder and harder! ”

After lightly nodding, Liang Fuchen asked again: "Niu Ji, come and tell me about the current specific situation of 'Wei **'!" After Qi Bin died in battle, what was the morale of the soldiers? Do you have the usual exercises? Can Huamachi Camp guarantee your logistics and military salary? ”

Deputy General Niu Ji hurriedly said: "Don't dare to hide Liang Ge Lao, since the death of Commander Qi, the morale of the soldiers has been a little low, and now the Huamachi Camp has gathered troops from all over Shaanxi and Gansu, and the space is obviously insufficient, so the daily work cannot be guaranteed...... However, there is no shortage of logistics and military salaries. ”

After speaking, Niu Ji's face was full of shame, and he obviously felt that he had not done a good job.

After hearing Niu Ji's answer, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh lightly.

It stands to reason that after Qi Bin died in battle, this new army will have Niu Ji's highest military rank and the most seniority, and it should be the natural successor, but Liang Fuchen never expected Niu Ji to succeed him from the beginning.

Niu Ji is a good assistant and a very good executor, but his temperament is too honest, and he lacks enough assertiveness and courage on weekdays, and he does not have the temperament and talent that a military commander should have, neither can he fight for the interests of his comrades, nor can he convince the middle and lower-level military attachés, so Liang Fuchen will never hand over the "Wei **" to Niu Ji, otherwise this army will soon collapse.

But Liang Fuchen didn't blame him, he knew that Niu Ji was just lacking in ability and limited in talent, not careless, so Liang Fuchen just said slowly: "The daily practice of 'Wei **' is the most important, it is the foundation, and there must be no waste...... In this way, I have now returned to Huamachi Camp and succeeded Zhao Junchen as the plenipotentiary envoy, and I will soon try to make an exclusive space for you so that you can continue to practice! ”

Hearing Liang Fuchen's promise, Niu Ji was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Liang Ge for your love!" In the future, he must train the soldiers with his heart, and he will never dare to disappoint Liang Gelao! ”

Liang Fuchen asked again: "The matter of drill is easy to solve, but the morale of the army has been low for a long time, and it is not a way after all, what can you do to restore the morale of the soldiers as soon as possible?" ”

Niu Ji's expression was quite embarrassed, and he said: "There is not much to do about the humble position, the prestige of Commander Qi is too high, and his death in battle is a great blow to the soldiers, so he can only slowly restore his morale." ”

Hearing Niu Ji's answer, Liang Fuchen secretly shook his head in his heart, completely abandoning the idea of letting Niu Ji serve as the new commander of the 'Wei **'.

So, Liang Fuchen turned his head to look at the remaining ten or so military attaches and asked, "What can you do about the morale of the army?" ”

Liang Fuchen has served as the governor of the three sides for many years and has rich experience in managing the army, so he naturally has some means to restore the morale of the army, but he will not take the initiative to say it at this time, but wants to take the opportunity to examine the ability and vision of these military attachés.

It's a pity that under Liang Fuchen's expectant gaze, all the military attaches were silent.

Seeing this scene, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, both a little regretful and a little natural.

When Qi Bin formed this new army, he completely copied the formation process of the "Qi Family Army" that year, and when recruiting soldiers, he would only recruit those honest "good family sons", and even rushed to Yiwu at all costs to recruit those Yiwu miners with the best sense of obedience.

And all the military attaches of "Wei **" are all from such backgrounds, don't look at them are now promoted to military attachés in the army, but they still haven't completely gotten rid of their pre-enlistment personality, and they still have the characteristics of miners and farmers.

When Qi Bin had not yet died in battle, these people all had a very good sense of obedience, they were willing to obey the command, and the overall atmosphere within the army was also very simple and simple, and the style of work was tenacious when fighting.

But after Qi Bin died in battle, it was impossible for these honest people who were accustomed to obeying the command to immediately show enough assertiveness and courage, they did not have such a nature, and their background restrictions also made them lack enough insight and vision.

And just when Liang Fuchen felt embarrassed in his heart, he suddenly heard someone speak: "Elder Liang Ge, about the morale of the army, I am also thinking about it these days, but now I have some immature ideas. ”

Hearing someone answer, Liang Fuchen was suddenly overjoyed.

Then, Liang Fuchen found that the person who answered his question was actually the chief flag officer who appeared here strangely.

Seeing that this chief flag officer was willing to take the initiative to answer his own questions, and when he spoke, he was a little elegant, which was completely different from the performance of the other military attaches present, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but be more curious about the identity of this chief flag officer.

So, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" Today, I only summoned all the military attachés above the middle level of the 'Wei **', and you are just a general flag officer, why did you appear here? ”

After hearing Liang Fuchen's inquiry, the deputy general Niu Ji thought that Liang Fuchen was blaming, and hurriedly explained: "Qi Liang Ge Lao, this person's name is Li He, although he is only a general bannerman, but his prestige in the army is very high, whether it is the low-level soldiers or our military attachés, they are very convinced of him!" In fact, the decision had already been made to promote him to the official position of deputy Baihu...... After hearing that you summoned all the middle-level military attaches in the army, I discussed with my comrades and thought that Li He would soon be promoted to a middle-level military attaché, so I brought him over to meet the world! ”

"Oh? A mere flag officer, can he be supported by all the soldiers of the 'Wei **'? ”

Liang Fuchen couldn't help but be more curious about Li He.

Even if Li He is promoted to the deputy hundred households in the future, he is only a general banner now, Niu Ji and others led him to Liang Fuchen, which was already against Liang Fuchen's order, but they would rather disobey the order and bring Li He to see Liang Fuchen, obviously wanting Liang Fuchen to reuse Li He.

Niu Ji replied again: "Qi Liang Ge Lao, this is because Li He saved the lives of all the military attaches in the army a few days ago, if it weren't for his strength to turn the tide, I'm afraid that there is no 'Wei **' now!" ”

Hearing Niu Ji's words, Liang Fuchen's expression suddenly became serious, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Wei **" is Liang Fuchen's painstaking efforts, and after hearing the news that this army was once almost disbanded, Liang Fuchen was naturally extremely concerned.

So, Niu Ji hurriedly replied: "After the end of the Weishui War, because of the death of the Qi commander, the soldiers were all angry and unbearable, and there was a situation of killing prisoners to vent their anger, but I didn't expect that at that time, Lord Zhao had issued a military order, strictly prohibiting anyone from killing prisoners of war......

At that time, first of all, the unfortunate death of Qi's commander, and then the detention of all the middle-level military attachés, 'Wei **' was completely chaotic, and it was about to collapse completely, fortunately, Li He took a group of lower-level military attaches to break into the handsome tent of Lord Qincha Zhao with his death, and carried out some arguments, and actually persuaded Lord Qincha Zhao to exempt all military attaches from responsibility......

But after Lord Zhao pardoned our crimes, he had to investigate Li He's guilt for breaking into the tent, at this time it was still Li He who took all the responsibility alone, and he saved all the lower-level military attachés, and fortunately, it was Lord Zhou Bo Zhou who was the inspector of Shaanxi Province to intercede for Li He and save Li He's life, but he was also beaten with a military stick......

After listening to Niu Ji's explanation, Liang Fuchen was also afraid, but he didn't expect that "Wei **" would have such a crisis.

And Li He's performance during this period is not an exaggeration to say that he "turned the tide"!

How could it be that Li He's responsibility and courage during this period made Liang Fuchen a little surprised.

After Liang Fuchen took a serious look at Li He, he nodded slowly and said: "I see, you can be said to have saved the lives and future of all the military attaches of 'Wei **', no wonder they respect you so much!" …… You say you have a way to restore morale in the army, but what is it? Tell me about it! ”

At this time, Li He still looked capable with his head held high, and even when he was questioned by Liang Fuchen, he did not waver or panic.

After hearing Liang Fuchen's inquiry, Li He raised his voice and said: "I have thought of many ways these days, but most of them are just some insignificant small means, but if you want to restore the morale of the army immediately, you think that there is only one word that is desirable, and that is 'war'!" ”

"Battle?"

Hearing such an answer, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but be stunned.

This answer was completely beyond Liang Fuchen's expectations.

Li He said: "After joining the army, I witnessed the training process of 'Wei **', and also personally participated in the training process of 'Wei **', so I know very well that 'Wei **' is well-trained and prohibited, and now it is certainly a little demoralized, but the foundation is still there, and it is still a strong army, but I have never had the opportunity to show my strength!" Therefore, only by 'fighting' can there be 'victory', after defeating the enemy, the comrades will understand their own strength, they will know that their hard training has not been wasted, and they will also get a reward for military merits, and the morale of the army will naturally be restored! ”

After hearing Li He's explanation, Liang Fuchen looked at Li He again, and was in a trance for a while.

Without him, in Li He's body, Liang Fuchen actually saw Qi Bin's shadow!

Qi Bin is also so confident, thinking that the new army he has trained with his own hands can defeat all enemies; Qi Bin is also so sharp-eyed and to the point, and can always find the easiest way to solve the problem; Qi Bin is also so bold, as long as it is something he believes, he will never change his mind!

In fact, the similarities between Li He and Qi Bin are not only in these aspects, but also in the changes in their expressions and their hands and feet.

At a certain moment, Liang Fuchen seemed to see Qi Bin resurrected and appear in front of him.

Liang Fuchen was heartbroken because of Qi Bin's death in the past two days, and now when he saw Li He, a military attache who had a faint resemblance to Qi Bin, he suddenly felt close in his heart!

"This Li He is really a talent! The willingness and courage to bear the responsibility for his comrades, the courage and insight to persuade Zhao Junchen to change his mind, and his self-confidence and assertiveness in advocating the use of a war to restore the morale of the 'Wei **'...... These are the qualities that a master requires...... It's a pity that his current military rank is a little low, otherwise, he would be the best successor! ”

While thinking in secret, Liang Fuchen's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

However, Liang Fuchen didn't know that the Li He in front of him was actually from the Zhao family in Yangzhou, and his real name was Zhao He, not only a chess piece for Zhao Junchen to infiltrate "Wei **", but also Zhao Junchen's distant cousin!

Li He's original move to turn the tide and save Wei ** was just a scene between Zhao Junchen and Li He, and today Li He will appear in front of Liang Fuchen, also because of Zhao Junchen's secret promotion.

Yesterday, Li He received a secret message from Zhao Junchen, one of which was to let Li He imitate Qi Bin's expression and demeanor as much as possible after seeing Liang Fuchen, but he also wanted to take advantage of the deep relationship between Liang Fuchen and Qi Bin!
