————————————————————

Yucheng has changed hands twice in just a few days!

Originally, it was close to the Bianqu Canal and close to the bustling city of Songzhou, but at this time it was full of ruins. Wang Xianzhi looted for three days after breaking the city, and after Wang Xianzhi left, Cao Shixiong entered the city and knocked on the bone and sucked the marrow again. When Liu Xun and others seized the city, they set a few more fires, although the fire was extinguished immediately after the city was broken, and there was no robbery, but the city was almost in ruins. There were originally nearly 50,000 people in the city, but at this time there were only more than 10,000 left, and most of them were old and weak, and most of the young and strong people were taken away by thieves.

The people in the city were already desperate, although Liu Xun led the troops to recapture Yucheng, but when Wang Xianzhi led countless people to come, all the people were desperate. With more than 3,000 recruits, how did they beat more than 100,000 grass thieves? But even so, during the daytime siege of the city, there was no need for Liu Xun to send people to recruit the organization, and all the people in the city went to the city to help. All of them have already made up their minds to die with the city.

Unexpectedly, Songzhou also sent reinforcements. By the time the first reinforcements were defeated, they were already only struggling at the bottom of the pack. When the second reinforcement arrived, they were no longer hopeful. But he never thought that the 5,000 reinforcements of the second road would defeat tens of thousands of thieves. What made them even more unbelievable was that the leader of the adventurous army this time would actually be Li Jing, the commander of the Zhenguo Army.

When he saw the six yamen in front of the city gate, he bowed down to the young general. Everyone finally believed. Li Dashuai not only sent reinforcements. And he personally led reinforcements. And defeated the thieves.

"How can the handsome man take the risk to come, in case there is a bad pool, I will not redeem it until I die!" Liu Xun was excited and afraid, there were a number of grass thieves outside the city, not counting the auxiliary army, there were 20,000. The marshal actually killed him with only 5,000 men.

Li Jing smiled, "You guys have to defend Yu City, and I can't give up the tactics of outflanking." I had to go out in person. Facts have proved that the grass thieves are indeed a group of straw bales, and with a simple show of weakness, they have already begun to underestimate the enemy, and 5,000 men and horses will defeat them with tens of thousands of horses. ”

The combat effectiveness of the grass army is indeed not strong, and their most commonly used trick is the crowd tactic, which is to envelop a large number of people, and fight with a large number of auxiliary troops, and use the crowd tactics to drown the opponent. And in today's battle, Li Jing has already issued a great weakness of the grass army. That is, they have no command at all, although there are many people. But there is no reasonable and effective command at all in the mess. If you change to a slightly stronger general, with these numerical advantages, you can still achieve better results.

"Prepare for a night attack by the thieves tonight!" Li Jing took the water and towel from a personal guard, wiped his face and washed his hands.

"The thief army was defeated today, how dare they attack the city?" Li Cunxiao asked.

Li Jing changed the ordinary armor on his body, took off his battle robe together, and wiped the bloody qi off his body with his naked body, and the whole person immediately felt a lot more comfortable. Liu Xun stood on the side, pondered for a while, and explained: "Although the grass thieves were defeated today, they were only caught off guard, and there were not many real casualties, and the two thousand and three people killed in the battle were not worth mentioning for the grass thieves. Today's defeat is only a defeat in the chaos of the thief army. When they have collected the soldiers and horses, they will definitely not be convinced. After all, there are only five or six thousand people in the city now, and the grass thieves still have a great advantage. ”

At this time, several pro-soldiers brought food, mainly cooking cakes, as well as white porridge, plus some dried meat and pickle strips. Li Jing directly grabbed a bowl of porridge and drank a bowl of stomach in one go, which was more comfortable.

"How much food is left in the city?" He asked.

"There is a lot of grain, about 10,000 stones, originally there were 100,000 stones of grain in the city, here is close to Songzhou Bianqu, there are a lot of grain merchant granaries, and there are many rich households in Yucheng. When Wang Xianzhi left before, he took a lot of them, but when Cao Shixiong left, he didn't have time to take away the rest of the grain. Fu Cun reported to Li Jing.

Li Jing nodded: "Since there is no shortage of food, then put food for the people in the city, today I see that these people are also doing their best to help the thieves, we are officials and soldiers, since we have arrived, we naturally have to save the people." ”

Liu Xun nodded, he also had this idea, if Li Jing didn't get it, he would also send the grain down.

Looking at the six disciples, Li Jing was very pleased, this time they performed very well, although they led a new army, but they were able to fight to this extent, it was amazing. In particular, they know the current situation, and they are not afraid of death and are willing to stay in Yucheng to attract and contain the grass army, although they are a little too risky, but this momentum and courage are worthy of praise.

"This time, the auxiliary army has performed very well, and I have decided to officially organize the auxiliary army into an army, and give the special military number to select the forward army. The establishment of the Zhenguo army is the front army of the five ya. There is a shortage of soldiers and horses, and I will wait for the soldiers to replenish you. Li Jing said with a smile.

Liu Xun and the six people were all pleasantly surprised when they heard the news. The auxiliary army was originally cannon fodder, but now it has suddenly become one of the five armies, five ya, and ten armies, and now there are only six official military titles established by the Zhenguo Army, namely the Black Flag, Tielin, Konghe, Zhuri, Silver Spear and Jie Army, and Jinjia Shengjie Army. Even these troops in southern Liaoning, Dengzhou, and southern Zhejiangdong do not have new military numbers, and their auxiliary army, which has just been recruited for less than half a month, actually has a separate military number, which is not gratifying.

However, under the joy, they couldn't help but feel apprehensive in their hearts, not knowing who would be the main officers of the Lu Dao Selection Front Army. At present, there are only six commanders at the battalion level in the auxiliary army, and there are no officers at the upper and lower levels, let alone at the army level.

"Marshal, I don't know who will be the military master and the owner of the box?" Liu Xun asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

In the Zhenguo Army, the commander of the first army is the commander of the capital, the commander of the first battalion is the commander, and the commander of the first capital is the commander. However, there is another set of names in the army. That is to call the commander of an army the commander of the army. The owner of the box is the owner of the box. The commander of a battalion is the battalion master, and the commander of a capital is also called a capital, or a capital master.

In the Zhenguo army, all know the soldiers and horses, and the rank is quite high, only a little lower than the main positions of the shogunate. A box owner, commanding 2,500 troops, is already a middle and senior general. A military master, commander of the army, five thousand, that is a senior general. Although Liu Xun also understood that although the six of them were all very high-level, they were still too young after all. Now it's just the battalion owner, and it's still possible to be promoted to a box owner, and if you are directly promoted to the army owner, it's a bit too extravagant.

Li Jing smiled and looked up at the six disciples with anticipation in their eyes. smiled: "What, what position do you see?" The owner? The military master? ”

Several people blushed slightly, smiled and did not answer.

"It's good to have ideas, what's to be embarrassed about. If you think you have what it takes, then you have to fight for it! Li Jing encouraged.

Yang Shihou is actually full of expectations in his heart, and his goal is to be promoted to the owner of the Fengjun Army. He knew that he was not qualified, and he did not dare to expect a military master. Secretly glanced at a few brothers, and saw that no one spoke, so he stood up and said: "Marshal, I think that the selection of the front army is new, and the officers should be promoted from the original auxiliary army." Brothers live and die side by side, and they are better able to cooperate. ”

"What do you want to do, owner? The military master? Li Jing was still smiling.

Everyone's eyes shot over together, and Yang Shihou couldn't help but be a little nervous, "I feel that my subordinates feel that Commander Liu has performed outstandingly in this operation, is brave and strategic, and can coordinate the overall situation. As for me, I think I should be able to do the job of deputy head of the chamber. Although he really wants to be the owner of the box, he also knows that the first army now only has two compartments, and among the brothers of the sixth division, he is only ranked fifth.

Li Jing also put down his chopsticks at this time and looked at a few people with a smile.

"In this way, there are only about 2,000 people left in the Xuanfeng Army, so for the time being, we will only make up a box, and the rest will be talked about after the war. Liu Xun! ”

"My Majesty!" Liu Xun knelt down on one knee, his face flushed with excitement. Although the teacher's words have already explained that there is only one compartment in the selection of the front army, it also indicates that it is likely that only the owner of the compartment will be set up for the time being, and the officers above will not be appointed for the time being. But that's fine, it's a bit unrealistic to be promoted to the army master all of a sudden. Now the military lord will not be appointed for the time being, which can actually be seen as the marshal temporarily retaining this position, if nothing else, this position will still be theirs in the future.

"This commander now grants you the post of the left wing of the front army in front of the Yaqian selection, and adds the rank of soldiers and horses, because the commander selects the five battalions of the front army." Li Jing got up and said solemnly to Liu Xun.

"Xie Dashuai!" Liu Xun took over a sword given by Li Jing, and for a while he didn't have time to engrave the official seal of the soldier rune, and this sword of Li Jing can be regarded as a temporary sigil.

Helping Liu Xun up, Li Jing also nodded slightly and patted him on the shoulder, "Do a good job!" ”

Let Liu Xun be the owner of the chamber, it is also indisputable, firstly, he is the eldest of the six disciples, and secondly, he has always performed very well, and his prestige among the disciples is also the highest. And the performance of this battle has proven that he can be on his own.

After awarding the title of Liu Xunxiang, Li Jing reorganized the current ten battalions of the auxiliary army into five battalions, and Gao Siji and the other five people each led a battalion to command the formation. In addition, Gao Si succeeded as the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the left wing of the front army of Yaqian, Yang Shihou served as the marching Sima of the left wing, Wang Yanzhang served as the Marquis of Yu and Fu Cun as the marching judge, and Li Cunxiao served as the coach. Li Jing also selected a staff officer named Leng Yu from the staff department of the Zhenguo Army to be promoted to the left chamber teaching envoy.

"The following corps-level officers, you seem to report to the list, and the staff department will be appointed and dismissed after the assessment, and as for the two levels of the team, it will be reported to the staff department after the appointment and dismissal are decided by the left wing." Li Jing did not delegate the power to appoint and dismiss officers at the second level of the capital and corps, and this is a core right that must not be delegated.

Li Jing's appointment was announced, and everyone had no opinions, Liu Xun was promoted by two levels, and the other five were also promoted by one level, and they were all very happy. In particular, Fu Cun and Yang Shihou served as marching horses and marching judges respectively, which were even higher than Li Cunxiao's instructors.

"Marshal, there is a matter under your post and please ask the marshal to adjudicate." Liu Xun asked.

"Oh, is there anything else you can't decide?" Li Jing chuckled.

Li Cunxiao on the side shouted: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that one of my team leaders, when we were fighting Yucheng, was responsible for intercepting and reinforcing grass thieves in the south of the city. After the battle, I asked him to clean up the battlefield, and Ah San of the dog day killed more than 100 grass thief captives. Actually, it's not a big deal, then Ah San is still fighting very fiercely, relying on more than 200 people, he was stunned to block the charge of thousands of grass thieves, and he also captured Cai Wenqiu, the owner of the grass thief box. However, his brothers suffered heavy casualties, and in a moment of anger, he killed the prisoners without asking for instructions while cleaning the battlefield. In fact, those captives were also seriously injured and couldn't escape, and that knife still gave them a painful pleasure, otherwise, it would have been more painful to drag on for a few more days. ”

Li Jing pondered for a while after hearing this, "Where is he now?" ”

"I will keep him in confinement and wait for the commander to deal with him." Liu Xun said, "This kid is indeed meritorious, and he fights very fiercely, but he is too undisciplined, if he doesn't deal with it harshly this time, I'm afraid that as soon as this opening is opened, it will be difficult to clean up the atmosphere of selecting the front army in the future." ”

Li Jing also understands that Liu Xun wants to make an example of a hundred and make an example of chickens and monkeys, and at present, the selection of the front army is still a new army, and military discipline is indeed important. However, military discipline is important, but military spirit is equally important. This officer's military achievements this time are very great, and if he does not reward him, he will be held accountable, and he is afraid that the adverse effects of his approval will be even greater.

Thinking about it in his heart, Li Jing said slowly: "The most important thing in governing the army is fairness and severity, meritorious service should be rewarded, and excessive punishment should be given." The merits he has made should be rewarded heavily, even if he is promoted to a deputy soldier and horse envoy, it is enough. So let him be rewarded for his exploits in battle, and he shall be promoted to a general, and shall be rewarded with a hundred pieces of money and a hundred horses of silk. But at the same time, there is also a punishment. Kill the captives, and remember that when these captives are seriously wounded, and when the enemy is outnumbered in a special battle, he shall be punished with a hundred rods. One hundred military sticks, divided into ten days, and each time must be executed in front of the whole army in public, in order to set an example! ”

Hearing this ruling, everyone present couldn't help but feel very fair. Liu Xun thought about it, and also felt that the ruling of the big marshal was better than he had planned. I only thought about military discipline, but I didn't think about military spirit. I admired it in my heart and nodded my head.

"Well, the brothers are working very hard today, and Ben Shuai has decided to give 50 yuan to each of the fallen soldiers of the Feng Army, 30 to the seriously wounded, and 10 yuan to each of the remaining soldiers. In addition, the other soldiers and horses who came to help, whether it was the national army of our town or the Songzhou soldiers, the casualty compensation and rewards were the same. In addition, each grass thief head will be rewarded with 500 yuan! In addition, give meat to the soldiers, everyone eat well, and prepare to meet the enemy tonight! ”

"The last general commands!" The generals shouted in unison. (To be continued......)
