Liu Xun is resourceful as a wise general, Wang Yanzhang is a brave general, and Gao Siji is good at rushing and is a strong general. Li Cunxiao is fierce, a fierce general, Yang Shihou is fierce, a fierce general, Fu Cun is cautious and benevolent, and a benevolent general. Zhou Dewei is calm and has the style of a general, and can be a Confucian general.

The longer these generals under his command have been in contact, the clearer Li Jing will see them.

It can be said that these generals are now Li Jingli's most trusted generals in addition to being optimistic. Although compared to Wang Chong, Lin Wu, and Lin Wulai, their current seniority and prestige in the army are not high, but Li Jing knows very well that the ability of these people is stronger than Wang Chong. Wang Chong and they can be regarded as a general, but Liu Xun and them can become generals in time, and their growth space is higher.

Liu Shouqian, Zhang Chengzong, and Qiu Shengong are also very strong, but they are still worse than Liu Xun.

Li Juyi, Guo Zhenshan, Pei You and others are talented generals, but in terms of loyalty, they are not as good as Liu Xun. The team is bigger, there are more soldiers and horses, and there will inevitably be factions and mountains in the army. Such a thing, even if Li Jing suppresses it, it can't be completely eradicated. If you can't hold it down, you can only have balance. The so-called Emperor's Art is like this.

The several reorganizations of the Zhenguo Army are actually to avoid the appearance of subordinates with great prestige and power. The constant reorganization is aimed at dispersing the power of his subordinates. It's not that Li Jing doesn't trust his subordinates, but now it's the fifth generation, an era when soldiers are arrogant and commandery, and handsome and strong are rebellious. Li Jing could not count everything on the loyalty of his subordinates, but had to rely on a series of institutional rules to avoid such conditions. After all. For a lot of people. It doesn't matter about loyalty. It's just that the chips for betrayal are not enough. What Li Jing has to do is to never give them such a bargaining chip for betrayal.

If it weren't for this balanced consideration, the seniority and prestige of Liu Xun and Zhou Dewei and others, how could they have become the main generals of the Jinjia Shengjie Army and the Xuanfeng Army now.

The strong potential force depends on gathering more talents. And there are many talents, but they need excellent employment skills, it is better to have talents and not use them, just to make wedding clothes for others.

Night has fallen. Li Jing didn't rest immediately, he scheduled that the grass thieves would attack the city tonight, but he didn't worry too much. Based only on the strength of the grass thieves he came into contact with during the day, he had already judged that this grass thief was not to be feared.

After handing over the defense to Zhou Dewei and Liu Xun, Li Jing watched a book of grandsons from the city gate tower, and at the same time summoned the new capital-level officers of the Xuanfeng Army and met with some representatives of the gentry in Yucheng.

The twenty-five generals who selected the vanguard were all newly promoted from the original team leaders. For the first time, these new incumbents will meet the marshal alone, and they are all at a loss. Looking back, I was a little nervous. However, Li Jing can also see that these people are indeed very brave. And several of them are literate. After seeing the ninth general, I was about to meet the tenth, that is, the bold killing prisoner that Liu Xun said before, who could have been promoted to deputy commander, but now he was only promoted to the general's Ah San, and the alarm bell suddenly sounded on the east gate tower.

"Enemy attack! The grass thief is coming! A scream rang out in the night sky.

Zhu Wen was wearing a set of mountain armor, standing in front of the horse road with a somewhat uneasy expression, and looked down at the outfit on his body several times from time to time. He was only released from the small black house before dark, and the commander Li Cunxiao personally released him, and told him that he had been promoted to general, and threw him a set of mountain armor and a horizontal knife made of iron and left.

When he was stunned, Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen rushed over and told him the cause and effect. It turned out that Li Dashuai personally led 5,000 reinforcements to arrive, and entered the city after breaking tens of thousands of grass thieves under the city. Commander Liu reported his matter to the commander, and the commander rewarded and punished him clearly, although he was ordered to be punished with a hundred rods, but he could be beaten in ten days, although each time he had to be executed in front of the whole army. However, after the commander was punished, he did not forget his merits, promoted him to the fifth battalion of the left wing of the Xuanfeng Army, and also ordered him to be rewarded with 100 yuan of money, plus a set of good mountain armor, and a horizontal knife with iron.

Hearing such news, Zhu Wen couldn't believe it at the time. When staying in the small black room, Liu Xun also asked him to memorize the regulations of the army. According to the regulations, he was guilty of a felony that could be beheaded. He was already excited to avoid death, but he didn't expect to be promoted, and even had to be given a treasure armor and sword.

What he was thinking about now was how to be loyal to the commander in the future.

A hurried alarm bell interrupted his thoughts and took him back. I happened to see Li Cunxiao, the commander of the camp, walking over with a muddy iron lance, "The grass thief has been killed, follow me to meet the enemy." ”

Zhu Wen was stunned: "The marshal summons"

"The enemy is attacking at night, cancel the summons, follow me." Li Cunxiao walked past him as he spoke.

When Zhu Wen heard that the summons had been canceled, he immediately showed disappointment, and he was ready to say words of gratitude to the marshal. However, the military situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to delay, turned his head to look at the city tower, and hurriedly went with Li Cunxiao.

Upstairs at the south gate, Zhou Dewei did not leave, but stood straight behind Li Jing like an iron gun. In tonight's night battle, Li Jing handed over the responsibility of defense to Liu Xun, and also pulled out the remaining more than 1,000 Songzhou soldiers who came to reinforce the soldiers and horses to Liu Xun. The more than 2,000 elite people of the three armies led by Zhou Dewei did not go up to the city wall, although they gathered.

"Dashuai, the thieves are coming, and they have entered the Dashuai!" Zhou Dewei saw that the thieves were really coming, and he couldn't help but admire Li Jing more and more. There will be five categories, wisdom, bravery, benevolence, strategy, and Confucianism, but in Li Jing's body, he doesn't know how to distinguish between them. Li Jing is resourceful with his soldiers, so there is a lot of strategy and wisdom, but he often charges traps, so there is no need to say much about bravery. And Li Jing is against the killing of prisoners, and he leads the troops to be disciplined, so he will definitely be able to count another benevolent character, if you add Li Jing's style of commanding the army, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a Confucian general.

Ordinary generals, it is very good to be as good as they are, but Li Jing has five talents, no wonder he can lead a large army at such an age.

"Calculate the time, the other three soldiers and horses are almost pulling the net!" Li Jing casually flipped through a page of the military book, and continued to look at it with firelight.

"Surrounded on all sides, Wang Xianzhi can't escape." Zhou Dewei couldn't help but chuckle, "It's a shame that this person is also known as the general of the Heavenly Supplement Average, and he is also the commander of all the giants in the sea." Such a trap, I haven't found it until now, but I desperately bite the bait like sending it to death, if such people can also succeed, it is really a big joke. ”

Li Jing also smiled, "Wang Xianzhi is in the middle of the game, how can you see the situation outside the situation?" Besides, he has now been completely mobilized by us, full of anger, and with anger to use troops, such a mistake, even the lowest-ranking generals know it, but unfortunately he is just a smuggler. A smuggler and salt seller can at most be a big horse thief who kills people and sets fires, and if he leads the army to command, he is inherently insufficient. ”

"Our Zhenguo army has just destroyed the Shatuo people, if Wang Xianzhi is destroyed again this time, the merit of the marshal will definitely be world-famous." When Zhou Dewei said this, his tone was a little low. Li Jing immediately understood the meaning of his words, Li Jing is too young now, but his official position cannot be higher. Bit and three dukes, graphics Lingyan Pavilion, hanging three towns handsome seal. If you make meritorious service again, it will really be a great achievement.

Especially the experience of Chang'an last time, Zhou Dewei is very clear. Li Jing has already offended Tian Lingzi, a powerful eunuch, and he should keep a low profile.

Zhou Dewei saw Li Jing smiling and was silent, thinking that he didn't understand, so he said again: "Marshal, this time the twelve towns of the imperial court are fighting thieves, the commander is Song Jieshuai, and the rest of the towns are not contributing at the moment, we are so desperate, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”

Li Jing smiled slightly, and looked at Zhou Dewei with bright eyes: "What, Yang Wu means to let Ben Shuai set up thieves?" ”

Zhou Dewei lowered his head and didn't speak, there were some things he had the obligation to remind him of as a subordinate, but how to decide in the end had to be decided by the marshal.

In fact, Li Jing has also been thinking about the problem that Zhou Dewei said. Suppressing thieves, in fact, Li Jing is not too concerned. Because the grass thieves are different from the Shatuo people, the Shatuo people occupy territory and have a base, and it seems difficult to fight, but it is actually simple. The grass thieves are different, they are simply rogues, fleeing everywhere, without a fixed base, and even the soldiers can't kill them all, because the homeless people are their soldiers. They also don't have to worry about logistics and food, because they can rob everywhere and wherever they go. To deal with such an army, it must be surrounded by many soldiers and horses, but at present, the imperial court and the local feudal towns are willing to work so hard, especially when the imperial court cannot guarantee the food and salary of the troops.

Li Jing himself was unwilling, and he now understood that he was in a situation where he was in a big situation, and he was anxious to go back to stabilize his territory. But now that Wang Xianzhi is in front of him, this battle still has to be fought. It's just that how to fight is a question. Li Jing has always considered whether to fight a small battle or a big one. In a small battle, that is, to introduce Wang Xianzhi into the siege battle, then collect troops and pull the net, defeat the grass thieves in a battle, and then return directly to Dengzhou regardless of the rest.

The big fight, naturally, was to take advantage of the victory to pursue after the defeat, and directly kill Wang Xianzhi.

Now Zhou Dewei reminded him like this, but Li Jing had already made up his mind in his heart. What about the defeat of the grass thief, Li Jing is now in such a good official position, do you need to add more officials, no. The higher the official, the easier it is to become the target of others. It is enough to have the prestige to defeat the Shatuo people, and under normal circumstances, if others want to move him, they have to think about it first.

The prestige of the official position is not good, but it does not need to be too high, it is enough to have a certain amount. The real core is still the territory. Under the strength of the appearance of the Zhenguo Army, it is actually difficult to match, after all, if it is not for all kinds of evasion of reality, a Zhenguo Army that has only been in less than a year and has annexed many soldiers and horses is actually not too strong in combat effectiveness.

Li Jing now needs to expand his territory, stabilize his foundation, and refine his soldiers.

Wang Xianzhi, just spare his life! (To be continued......)
