Qin Huaidao saw everyone's expressions clearly, and he did not point out that healthy internal competition is a good thing. He said with a smile: "Determine the location. Once we get to the place, we will cultivate crops, plant trees, allocate buildings, build schools, and eliminate banditry. All tasks are indispensable."
It’s onerous, but what’s the difficulty?”
Su Dingfang thought about it seriously and said: "There are too many Turkic prisoners. Even if a thousand more people are allocated, I can only control more than 3,000 people. Moreover, the majority of them are Turks. Two thousand of them have just surrendered. People's hearts are uncertain and there are hidden dangers."
It’s too heavy and I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of it.”
Qin Huaidao nodded knowingly and led a group of surrendered soldiers to control the prisoners. It lacked deterrence and something would happen over time. He thought about it and looked at Li Derjian: "Hand over the captured Tang people to Su Dingfang. There are too many Turkic soldiers."
Hidden danger, in addition, Luo Ying will send a hundred people to assist for a month."
"Follow the order." Li Derjian and Luo Ying agreed quickly.
Su Dingfang was overjoyed. He had witnessed the combat effectiveness of the special battle group with his own eyes. With a hundred people protecting him, many things would be much easier to handle. He was overjoyed and said, "Thank you young master. After the college is built, we will need people to teach. Do you think?"
Qin Huaidao looked at Li Derjian.
Li Derjian said knowingly: "I'll pick a few for you later, it won't be a big problem."
"Then there will be no more difficulties. Please rest assured, young master, Dingfang will definitely protect the rear with his life and ensure that nothing goes wrong in the rear. If anything goes wrong, Dingfang is willing to raise his head to see you." Su Dingfang was determined and solemnly said.
Qin Huaidao nodded, looked at everyone and smiled and said: "You are all Huaidao's brothers in life and death. There is no need to envy Dingfang. Although you are still the commander of the regiment, you will be leading an army by yourself soon. In view of the complicated affairs of the staff department, Li Derjian is unable to do it alone. I
I want to separate the baggage regiment and promote it to the baggage division. Who is willing to be this division commander?"
Division commander not only means having a high military rank, but also means having more soldiers on hand.
But the baggage train is considered a second-line force, which is a bit useless for the war-like people.
Everyone was silent and no one answered.
Qin Huaidao knew this would happen, so he didn't directly name him to avoid any confusion and waited patiently.
The military tent suddenly became quiet.
Cheng Chuliang didn't intend to answer, but when his brother Cheng Chumo looked at him, he understood, but was a little unhappy. Why should he be forced to take a back seat and rush into battle to kill the enemy?
Just as he was hesitating, Cheng Chuliang saw Cheng Chumi pointing at him, and suddenly realized, he rushed to kill the enemy because his brother was there. He and the two brothers couldn't both be on the front line. If anything happened, the whole group would be wiped out, and it would not be without a fight to carry the baggage.
, it’s just a few, someone has to do it, right?
Thinking of this, Cheng Chuliang said: "Brother Qin, let me do it."
"Okay, then you come."
Qin Huaidao also loved Cheng Chuliang. After all, the two brothers were fighting on the front line. If something happened, he couldn't explain it. Moreover, Cheng Chuliang had a relatively stable personality, good ability, and trustworthiness. He smiled and said: "There are more than two thousand people in the baggage group.
, and then give you the more than a thousand people assigned to Li Derjian, plus what you brought with you, which is almost a division of troops, and the baggage will be handed over to you."
The baggage officer is responsible for equipment manufacturing, weapon maintenance, material escorting, storage and other matters. It is also an important task in the military and cannot be appointed to anyone who is not trustworthy.
"Brother Qin, don't worry. Since you have accepted this errand, I guarantee that nothing will go wrong." Cheng Chuliang said solemnly.
Qin Huaidao nodded, smiled, and pointed to the Pushao tribe on the map and continued: "That's it for the military affairs. Now let's talk about the war. The Pushao tribe will definitely defend to the death, and a hard attack will definitely not work. It must be outmaneuvered. The staff will work as soon as possible.
Come up with a battle plan, okay?"
"No problem, just give me a day." Li Derjian said solemnly.
In fact, Qin Huaidao already had a plan in mind, but since he established a staff department, he had to follow the rules and make everyone realize the importance and role of the staff department. He nodded in agreement and looked at Li Jingren, who was in charge of intelligence.
Li Jingren hurriedly said: "The news has been sent back to Qinjiazhuang, and a large amount of supplies needed for the battle will be shipped in at most fifteen days. In addition, news came from Chang'an that the Holy Emperor is seriously ill and the King of Jin is supervising the country. The reason is unknown."
"sick?"
Qin Huaidao was a little surprised. When Li Jiancheng rebelled in the north, Li Er went to quell the rebellion and was shot by an arrow in an ambush. Although his injuries recovered, his body was considered collapsed. Unexpectedly, he fell ill again. Was it a recurrence of old injuries or...
Suddenly, Qin Huaidao remembered that Li Jing once mentioned that Li Erzhong used alchemists to secretly refine elixirs and wanted to live forever. Could it be that the drug had damaged his body?
"It's better to be sick than to die." An excited voice remembered that it was Luo Tong.
After being grounded at home for several years, Luo Tong hated Li Er.
There were all life and death brothers present, no one would tell the truth, and Luo Tong was not afraid to tell the truth, otherwise he would not have disobeyed the imperial edict and left home to follow Qin Huaidao in the westward expedition to save people.
"Is there any other news?" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Jingren.
Li Jingren hurriedly said: "My brother brought people here to help, but I sent a message and stayed in Suzhou. He was responsible for relaying the message and established a more complete pigeon message network. The speed of message transmission has been accelerated. If you have anything to convey, please feel free to do so.
Find me."
"Brother, send a message to the old man for me, saying that I am fine and won't go for the time being." Fang Yiai said with a smile.
"Yes, take your wife and children back with you. I heard that the princess of Qiemo Kingdom is very beautiful. What if I hadn't captured her to warm your bed?" Luo Tong joked with a smile.
"If you like me, I'll catch him myself. I won't bother you. If you keep it for yourself and give Luo Zhang a younger brother, wouldn't my happiness be in vain?" Fang Yiai said with a smile.
"You brat, you dare to make fun of me?" Luo Tong scolded with a smile.
"I think it works. The prisoner mentioned it during the interrogation before, saying that it was a pearl that eclipsed the white flowers on the grassland. I guess it looks good. Whoever catches it will get it." Qin Huaidao said.
"Hahaha!"
Laughter resounded throughout the military tent, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
After the joke, everyone dispersed.
Qin Huaidao stayed in the military tent, staring at the map without blinking, full of thoughts.
I don't know how long it took, but Luo Ying hurried in, sat down next to him, and whispered: "Uncle, a hundred people have been assigned to Su Dingfang."
"Did Su Dingfang take anyone away?"
"It's almost done. We'll leave in a quarter of an hour at most. In addition, the people supervising the Pu Tao tribe have received news that they have been on guard since last night and stayed up all night. There is no chance."
"No, the opportunity has come." Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up when he heard that he had stayed up all night.
Luo Ying was a little confused and looked at Qin Huaidao intently.
Qin Huaidao was too lazy to explain, but Luo Ying led the most powerful and trustworthy special forces group and wanted to focus on training. He explained: "How long can you last without sleeping for one night?"
"Two or three days is no problem." Luo Ying said confidently.
"As a martial arts practitioner, you will be fine for two or three days, but what about ordinary people?"
"Two nights should be fine, right?"
"No, if you don't sleep one night, you will definitely not be energetic the next day. If you still don't sleep during the day the next day, you will definitely not be able to bear it by the second night, that is, tonight. Tonight is a great opportunity for a sneak attack. I didn't expect that I said
The Pu Tao tribe actually took the threat seriously, which is great." Qin Huaidao explained, very excited.
Luo Ying was not stupid, he was just inexperienced and lacked guidance from others. He reacted suddenly and said excitedly: "It makes sense. No wonder my uncle threatened a sneak attack yesterday. He was preparing for tonight, strategizing, and deciding the outcome with one word. The art of war
Everyone is just like this."
"Stop flattering and tell Li Derjian to come over."
"Okay." Luo Ying hurried away.
"Report——"
Soon, a man from the Guards Battalion came in, clasped his fists and said: "Young Master, the person responsible for monitoring the Dianhe tribe sent a message via flying pigeon, saying that the Dianhe tribe sent five thousand cavalry towards our army, and it is expected to be about two hours.
arrival."
"Dianhe Department, five thousand cavalry?"
Qin Huaidao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was about to harvest the sweet apples when Dianhe jumped out to cause trouble. This timing was too uncomfortable, and a surge of anger surged into his heart, and he said in a cold voice: "Then deal with them first, send an order, and let a few
Regiment commander and division commander are here to discuss military affairs, so act quickly."
"Follow the order!" the other party agreed and hurried away.
Not long after, everyone came over one after another. After learning the information, they were gearing up and preparing for a big fight. They were only five thousand cavalry. They didn't take it seriously. Luo Tong rushed to say: "Brother, the army heard that his family moved to Loulan. Not only was it not angry, but
On the contrary, they are very cooperative. Everyone thinks this is better. There will be less worries and the morale of the army can be used. There are only 5,000 people from the Dianhe Department. I will lead the people up and solve them all in one charge."
"Yes, those Turks are as expected. They heard that when their families go to Loulan, they can cultivate farming and study for free. They are all very happy. We still underestimated the desire of Turks to go to school. It makes sense when you think about it. Turks don't understand
I have always admired the etiquette of the Central Plains, and this method is good." Cheng Chumo also agreed.
"It's a good thing that the military's morale is available, tell me how to defeat the Dianhe Department?"
Qin Huaidao interrupted and brought everyone to the topic.
