Qiu Ba, a low-level person, was stirred up with passion and blood in just a few words, and fell into the trap of deception without even realizing it. There was no such conversation like this in the Longqi Army. There were some signs of it before.
It was just fermenting slowly, and with the news that Yelu Deguang proclaimed himself emperor, it began to spread in the army on a large scale.
Accompanied by a burst of high-pitched horn sound, the sergeants in the tent were all startled, and stood up as if conditioned to reflex, getting ready and holding their troops. A rough shout came from outside the tent: "Assemble the left camp!" The soldiers in the tent moved upon hearing the sound.
, in a short period of time, the entire military camp fell into an orderly and busy state.
Not long after, the battalion commander led several sergeants into Li Dutou's tent. Seeing this, Li Dutou hurriedly greeted him: "Commander Wang, what's going on?"
"What else could happen! 'Jun Yan Luo' has entered the camp for inspection!" The commander's tone was very "unkind" and he ordered Li Dutou: "Stop talking nonsense to me, take your people and assemble at the school ground!"
"Yes!" Li Dutou straightened his back immediately.
After saying that, he glanced at the soldiers in the tent, the commander raised his whip, clicked it in a circle, and shouted loudly: "Cheer up, everyone, move more quickly, don't delay. Again, the First Army
The left camp must be the fastest and most united. If you fall behind other battalions, see how I deal with you..."
In the center of the military camp is a school ground, which is not too big and is more than enough to accommodate Sergeant Longqi. On the third floor of the general platform, Liu Chengyou sat solemnly, with a set of fish scale armor tied around his body, looking heroic. His eyes were as calm as water, staring at the people one after another.
The soldiers, who came and gathered nervously, silently estimated the time in their hearts.
On the military case in front of him, a small stick of incense had been half burned, and the flames continued to engulf the body of the incense. When it burned out, the soldiers from all the battalions had gathered in the center of the school grounds. The soldiers were wearing swords and shields, their appearance was neat, their expressions were
Yan Mu looked intently. The scene was silent. Although the number of people was small, a fierce aura of a mighty and majestic army seemed to be rising over the school grounds.
This is not the first time that Liu Chengyou has done this kind of sudden attack and temporary gathering. Liu Chengyou is quite satisfied with the performance of the Longqi sergeants. As for being more refined and faster, he doesn't have that expectation yet.
Although he was satisfied in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at all. He stood up and inspected it from a high position for a while. Liu Chengyou raised his hand and waved calmly: "It's all gone!" He had no intention of watching the martial arts exercises anymore.
As soon as Liu Chengyou finished speaking, a general came out behind Liu Chengyou, waved a flag and shouted: "The military leader has given an order. The entire army is disbanded and everyone returns to his own camp!"
Probably because he was used to being tossed around, he neither had nor dared to complain. Under the leadership of their respective officers, the sergeants left in order. Liu Chengyou watched for a long time, and then, accompanied by two Longqi officers, he headed towards the Chinese army's tent.
.
"Yes, the soldiers are not slacking off. With their high energy and energy, among the armies in Hedong, our army dares to be ranked first!" While walking, Liu Chengyou raised his finger and spoke, actually commending the two officers: "You two have done a great job.
Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
There were two officers, one older and the other younger. The elder was in his thirties, with a sinewy face, a fierce look, a beard, and a somewhat stout body. The man's name was Zhang Yanwei, and he served as Sima of the Hedong Marching Army and Longqi Military Capital.
Marquis Yu was Liu Zhiyuan's favorite general.
When Liu Zhiyuan appointed Liu Chengyou as the commander of the capital, how could he be completely confident in entrusting the weight of an army to a kid like him? Zhang Yanwei was Liu Zhiyuan's insurance for the Longqi Army, and ordered him to assist Liu Chengyou as Du Yuhou Of course, the title of assistant is actually supervision. However, the development of things later was beyond Liu Zhiyuan's expectation. Liu Chengyou, with his identity, ability, and skill, convinced everyone in the Longqi Army, including Zhang Yanwei.
Although Zhang Yanwei's appearance is not good enough, he is a smart man and is very good at pleasing people. After hearing what Liu Chengyou said, he immediately showed an ugly but natural smile and flattered him: "It's all because you have a way of running the army. Once you change it, The ills of the past led to today’s Longqi Army!”
Liu Chengyou looked at Zhang Yanwei with squinted eyes, his face expressionless, and his eyes seemed to have sparkle in his eyes. Zhang Yanwei couldn't help shrinking his neck, subconsciously lowered his head, and looked away from Liu Chengyou's "Sima face". There was still some feeling in his heart. Muttering, everyone knows that the King of Peking is serious and serious, but in comparison, this Erlang of the Liu family is much more terrifying...
"But it's not in vain that I put so much thought into it." It wasn't until Liu Chengyou's light voice came to his ears that Zhang Yanwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quanyi, how is the morale of the army?" Taking a steady step and pondering for a moment, Liu Chengyou looked at the young general on the other side.
"The morale is high and can be used for great purposes!" the young general named "Quanyi" answered simply. This man is indeed young, but he has a strong sense of military spirit. He has obviously been polished in the army for many years. Looks very capable.
"Hmm." Liu Chengyou nodded in agreement, then stopped talking and quickened his pace towards the Chinese army camp.
The young general's name is Ma Quanyi, a native of Youzhou. He is good at riding and shooting, and has excellent swordsmanship. When he was fifteen years old, he followed Fan Yanguang, the commander of the Tianxiong Army at that time, to rebel against Shi Jingtang in Yecheng. He fought bravely, and when Fan Yanguang surrendered, he was captured. He was incorporated into the Forbidden Army of the Later Jin Dynasty. However, he had nothing to rely on and was quite unhappy in the Forbidden Army. It was difficult to relocate and he was depressed. He left the camp and escaped.
He hid in the countryside and farmed in Heyang for two years. But in these troubled times, how could a young man like Ma Quanyi be willing to work in farming if he had good martial arts skills? It happened that Liu Zhiyuan was recruiting soldiers and horses in Taiyuan, and he decisively He came to join the Longqi Army. Life was better under Liu Zhiyuan, but he only gradually gained the rank of captain.
Until September last year, the Khitan 30,000-foot cavalry entered the east of the Kou River. Liu Zhiyuan personally led the army and defeated it in Yangwu Valley, beheading 7,000 people. Ma Quanyi was with the army at the time and led his men to charge fearlessly, killing two Khitan military commanders in a row. After the war, he was promoted to the rank of Dutou.
When Liu Chengyou took charge of the Longqi Army, Ma Quanyi's fortune was completely reversed. When he inspected the entire army, Liu Chengyou quickly discovered that Ma Quanyi was extraordinary. Bravery was not his only advantage. In comparison, Liu Chengyou appreciated his diligence even more. He is loyal and has many insights into military matters.
He liked it and promoted him decisively. In just a few months, Liu Chengyou promoted him to the commander of the First Army of the Longqi Army, commanding a thousand soldiers. Ma Quanyi was unexpectedly moved. His work, Be more diligent and serious in order to repay Liu Chengyou's kindness.
The affairs of the First Army were handled in an orderly manner and with ease. Liu Chengyou was not disappointed at all, and his ability broke the "gossip" in him. He had some reputation and prestige among the lower-level soldiers. In the process of Liu Chengyou taking control of the entire army , exerted great force.
Nowadays, Ma Quanyi's promotion has become a typical example of Liu Chengyou's "people-only promotion", and the people with lofty ideals in the army are greatly encouraged by it.
Quickly entering the military tent, Liu Chengyou sat directly in his exclusive seat, waved his guard away and guarded outside the tent, took a breath, and then stared at Zhang Yanwei and Ma Quanyi standing in front of him: "How did things go?"
Of course, the two of them knew what Liu Chengyou was referring to. Zhang Yanwei immediately handed over his hand, and the flesh on his face trembled. He could not suppress the excitement in his throat and said: "The general has contacted Wu Jie and several commanders of the Xingjie Army. Everyone has this intention. You can be sure that as long as someone takes the lead and raises his voice, he will lead his subordinates to help!"
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou nodded slightly. He made some small movements with his hands, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then looked at Ma Quanyi: "Where are you?"
"I have acted in accordance with your instructions. According to the reaction of the soldiers, the King of Peking has won the hearts of the troops, and great things can be expected." Ma Quanyi also revealed some expectations in his tone.
"Not bad." After hearing this, Liu Chengyou said calmly. Then he stopped and lowered his head, as if thinking about his next move.
Seeing that Liu Chengyou had been thinking for a long time without giving any orders, Zhang Yanwei couldn't help it anymore and couldn't help but suggested: "Many soldiers have been secretly agitated, or they will be led to Jinyang to petition. If it is late, they may be Someone else got there first!"
"No rush!" Liu Chengyou shook his head directly, thought for a while, and then said: "Wait a little longer, it's not ready yet..."
