Compared with the simple and brave spearmen and firecrackers, the horseback riding family has always been poor in discipline and atmosphere because of his mixed background, and even made some violations of the rules of the Zhao Zi camp, and there are also those who can't stand the hard training of the Zhao Zi camp and the strict constraints, and they want to go to the grass or take refuge in the official army and local tyrants, relying on the strict implementation of the rules, the horse riding family will be slowly cleaned up, and the atmosphere of the official cavalry is even worse, Zhao Jin is naturally unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the past.

The dead and wounded horses of the officers and soldiers made several brigades very distressed, but there was no way, under the fire of the fire and bows and arrows, there were no minor injuries that could be treated, and they could only be handed over to Suzhou to pick up the skin and eat meat, and the few grain and grass materials left by the officers and soldiers could not be taken away, and could only be used as the supply of the captives for these two days, and there were still about 300 horses left that could be ridden, but the old, sick and thin did not meet the rules of the horsemen, and the real suitable ones were about 200.

After this episode of Le Qianhu leading the team to rush outward, the morale and resistance of the entire Fengyang official army completely collapsed, and there was no need for the family members to order and coerce, so they obediently obeyed the order, and the group drills also began to participate in the escort and search, compared to the dejected officers and soldiers, the Zhao Zi battalion was full of high ambitions.

Everyone thought that Zhao Jin was going to arrange the departure, but they didn't expect Zhao Jin to bring Le Qianhu's personal guards over to ask, everyone was a little puzzled, Jin Ye was not interested in the officers and generals, why did he ask the personal guards.

The main general, Le Qianhu, knelt there to surrender, and the guards and soldiers around him naturally had little resistance and stubbornness, and the four leaders were brought over and knelt in front of Zhao Jin obediently.

"Your lord is about to surrender, as a Ming officer, don't you have the heart to stop him? Don't you have the heart to do things for Daming? Zhao Jin asked.

This question was asked, so that the four officers and soldiers prisoners all had stunned looks on their faces, looked at each other a few times, and even looked at Zhao Jin a few times rudely, before one of them spoke: "The little ones are raised by the general, and they eat and use the money and food of the general, so they naturally have to do things for the general, what will the main do, and the small ones naturally have to obey, this principle of loyalty, the little ones understand." ”

Zhao Jin was silent for a moment, waved his hand to take the person away, and then turned his head and asked the people around him: "What these people said just now, do you think it's right or wrong?" ”

"Master Jin, what these officers and soldiers said is not wrong, right? Isn't it the same for the subordinates to do things for Jinye? Tao Gui said hesitantly, said a few words, but was pulled by Xu Yong beside him, Xu Yong glared at Tao Gui, but he didn't expect this expression to be seen by Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin smiled directly and said: "Xu Yong, what do you say?" ”

Xu Yong grinned and said: "It's different, the subordinates do things for the master, then they should be loyal to the Ming, as for the lord or something, the master will arrange for the subordinates to be in charge, and the subordinates will listen, but the subordinates are still loyal to the master." ”

Tao Gui on the side couldn't help but pat his forehead with his hand, although Xu Yong's words were reversed, he could probably understand what he meant.

Zhao Jin smiled, but did not delve into this problem, but said with emotion: "The Ming soldiers are generals, and the imperial court will send the food and salary to this Le Qianhu, although the above layers are deducted, but this Le Qianhu is also deducted to raise the soldiers and guards, and then these soldiers do not feel that the food and salary come from the Ming Dynasty, but feel that this is the grace of their Lord, don't you think this is ridiculous?" ”

"It's ridiculous." Everyone agreed.

Zhao Jin didn't continue, but just said: "When this Zhuangzi is cleaned up, let's go north and return to Xuzhou immediately, if the group exercises everywhere can be as capable as Zhong Gongxian, in fact, there is no hurry." ”

"Master Jin, isn't there no war?" Xu Yong asked playfully, Zhao Jin smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, before victory or defeat, don't assert lightly, don't think that the imperial court is capable of this, if you really want to fight, this is just the beginning." ”

When the sun was in the west, the search in Zhuangzi was completed, and there were really some lucky officers and soldiers hiding everywhere, thinking that they could be fooled around, and they were all caught and taken prisoner, Zhao Jin was very generous to Zhong Gongxian's side, and all the dead horses and the baggage grain and grass of the officers and soldiers were left, and the good horses were also left one hundred and fifty horses, and the captured officers and soldiers weapons were allowed to be selected first, and the rest should be registered.

This arrangement makes the regimental exercises jubilant, the horse meat is meaty, and other things are also somewhat subsidized, this expedition really did not pay any casualties, but the harvest is very rich, and more importantly, the siege of the official army made everyone confident, originally heard what several roads of the army besieged Xuzhou, the farmland on this side of Suzhou is very panicked, many people are begging Xuzhou to send the Suzhou regiment to come over to suppress the formation, this time they found that they can deal with a lot, and everyone also saw the prospect, the elite and strong of the family is so, what can not be done.

After Zhao Jin and their short rest, the horse team headed towards Xuzhou, this time it was the official road, directly outside the Suzhou Prefecture City, if it was not for Zhao Jin's special order, many people in the Suzhou Zhizhou Yamen would have been killed a few days ago, but now, nothing is Zhizhou's turn to come forward, it is the secretary in the state government who is in charge.

They have been paying attention to the news here, knowing that after the big victory, they hurriedly opened the city gate, and took great pains to prepare the military funds for the reward, and invited the gong and drum team, and set up a formation next to the road of the Zhao Zi camp to greet them, and when the horse team led by Zhao Jin passed, it was a lively time, but the gong and drum players of the ironclad horseback riders were shocked enough, and it was very embarrassing to go out of tune.

"It's not time to celebrate, everyone is too polite, what everyone did and said this time, Zhao kept it in mind, and there will be a good reward after the end!" Zhao Jin dismounted politely, and said very simply, hearing this, the Suzhou gentry and tyrants and others were all happy.

They don't have any fear of being implicated, and there are even children of various families waiting with horses and knives, and the elders of the family directly said to Zhao Jin, let them go and defend Xuzhou for Jinye, according to the news from the eyes of the internal guard, everyone has already made up their minds to follow the dragon.

And 4,000 officers and soldiers were actually blocked in Zhuangzi by 3,000 regimental training, and when the family came to the house, it was directly the devastation of the withering and decaying cleanup, this disparity between strength and weakness can be seen by everyone, not to mention the people and horses who saw the iron armor and iron weapons of the Zhao Ziying with their own eyes, this kind of power is really full of confidence, you must know that after this battle, there are no officers and soldiers in the huge Fengyang Mansion, and the Suzhou regimental training is the strongest arm, what are the concerns, you have to hurry up, so as not to be able to keep up after it is too late.

For these Suzhou children who were willing to defend Xuzhou, Zhao Jin did not refuse, but he did not let them follow the horse team, but said that when he returned to Xuzhou to settle down, it would not be too late to pass at that time.

Zhao Jin returned to Xuzhou from Suzhou, only brought back 1,000 Jiading, and the rest were to return and support the Third Brigade of the main team, and the Third Brigade led by Dong Bingfeng should have set off to see if this horseback Jiading could catch up.

After dozens of miles through Suzhou City, he met the messenger who came to Xuzhou to deliver the message, Zhao Jin sent the messenger north to Suzhou after annihilating more than 1,000 officers and troops in Fushan, and wanted to close the city gate here, and then went to Xuzhou to inform his own movements, and arranged for the cooperation over there.

The Suzhou regiment led by Li Wu and the three hundred volunteers were rushing to this side, the Suzhou regiment was originally guarding the junction of Xuzhou and Fengyang Mansion, this time the officers and troops were strong, and they had to come to support, although they knew that the horse team led by Zhao Jin was nine out of ten, and there could be no mistakes in order to be safe.

"Twenty teams from your regiment are going over to take charge of the regimental training over there, you still go back to your original station and stand by, and the Suzhou regimental training can deal with it yourself." After Zhao Jin and Li Wu met, they directly gave an order.

It can't be compared with Lu Da, who is the oldest and loyal, and Zhang Hubin, who has outstanding ability and shining military achievements, and Li He, who is also from the general manager of the official army, Li Wu can achieve the right position in this regiment, in the eyes of outsiders, it is because he is the second oldest in seniority, and he has been following the master for a long time, so it should be like this, if you want to say that you have any ability, it may not be.

Moreover, in the system of Zhao Ziying, the ability requirements of the commanders of each brigade, regiment and brigade are not so high, even if they don't have the ability to use soldiers like gods, they can eat the enemy by pushing hard, so they secretly don't have a high evaluation of Li Wu, and after seeing Li Wu himself, this impression will be even worsened, because Li Wu looks very smooth and amiable, and he is very good at pleasing people, it is easy to think that this Li Wu climbed up by slapping horses and drilling camps.

However, Zhao Jin and his partners have a good evaluation of Li Wu, no matter what happens, as long as he continues to explain, Li Wu will definitely do it very properly, where the brigades and regiments are stationed, the manpower and materials that can be used, who should be approached and who to watch out for in wartime and usually, Li Wu can do it well, this mind is also incomparable to many people, he is very competent as this regiment.

Li Wu didn't care much about other people's opinions, the only thing he was worried about was that the Suzhou regiment had no chance to go to war, he thought that he could face the Fengyang official army this time, who would have thought that Zhao Jin would personally take action, this wish was disappointed.

Zhao Jin ignored Li Wu's careful thoughts, and after a few words of encouragement, he led the team straight to Hejiazhuang, he was not in a hurry to go home, but now Hejiazhuang is where the big camp is, just rest and replenish there, and then go to the front line.

Originally, the Zhao Ziying of Xuzhou judged that the Daimyo official army would first take Kongjiazhuang at the junction of the three provinces, and then pass through Peixian County, Fengxian County, seeking to eat the Fengpei Regiment, and then go to attack the Jingshan where the Zhaoziying coal and iron supply base is located, and then stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River, depending on the development of the war situation, or flank the first brigade with the Shandong army, or threaten the Xuzhou headquarters with the Henan New Army.
