Dong Zhuo signaled a soldier next to him to read out his military exploits. The military exploits included the number of enemies killed, the number of Qiang soldiers captured, and the number of losses suffered by one's own side. These were only rough statistics.
The soldiers led by Jia Rong had the most military exploits, killing more than 1,500 enemies and capturing more than 1,500 prisoners. The soldiers in the worst county had more than 100 soldiers left after the war.
When the soldiers finished reading, Dong Zhuo signaled Jia Rong to come out, then patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "This is Jia Rong and Jia Zhiyuan. In this battle, his team killed the most enemies among the soldiers from all counties.
The team with the most prisoners and the least losses is your example; and the fact that we were able to win so quickly this time is inseparable from Zhiyuan's strategy. He set fire to the Qiang people's camp, causing the Qiang people to be defeated.
The morale of the Qiang people has collapsed."
"I have decided that Jia Rong will lead the soldiers recruited this time and start reorganizing them the day after tomorrow. Tonight, the three armies congratulate each other on the victory of the war." Dong Zhuo said.
Jia Rong hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, General, for your love. I will work hard in this humble position and live up to the general's trust."
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Jia Rong to get up.
Next, Dong Zhuo ordered the execution of several leaders who did not fight well, and rewarded the leaders who had made meritorious service on the battlefield. This included not only Jia Rong and others, but also some unfamiliar faces that Jia Rong did not recognize.
But Jia Rong remembered the names of the generals who were rewarded, and they must have made some friends afterwards, because Jia Rong heard "Hua Xiong", a relatively famous name in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as Niu Jin and Li Ji.
Seeing that the reward and punishment had been completed, Dong Zhuo returned to the commander's seat and said: "Let's talk about the treatment of the Qiang prisoners. I plan to execute them all. What do you think?"
As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Jia Rong immediately stood up from among the generals, saluted Dong Zhuo and said: "General, no, if the general does this, it will only chill the surrendered Qiang soldiers. If there is another war with the Qiang people in the future, the Qiang people will
The soldiers will definitely serve their lives and will not surrender again. This will be detrimental to our army. General, please think again."
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo became furious and said: "How dare you, little Qiang people, how can I be afraid of you?"
Jia Rong hurriedly explained: "General, calm down and please listen to me. If we take in the Qiang soldiers and disperse them into various teams, these are Qiang elite soldiers and will definitely be beneficial to our army and increase our army's strength."
strength."
At this time, the middle-aged scribe appeared again. He raised his hand to Dong Zhuo and said: "General, what Jia Rong said is indeed true. If all the surrendered Qiang people are killed, it will definitely damage the general's reputation; and if
Incorporating the surrendered Qiang soldiers into our ranks will not only strengthen our army, but also reflect the general's magnanimity. General, please think twice!"
After listening to the middle-aged scribe's words, Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, then laughed and said: "The words of the wise son-in-law are reasonable, but this general was confused for a moment."
Jia Rong cast a grateful look at the middle-aged scribe. The middle-aged scribe smiled at Jia Rong and said nothing.
Dong Zhuo looked at the middle-aged scribe and said, "Wenyou, in your opinion, how should these Qiang soldiers be organized?"
The middle-aged scribe thought for a while and then said: "After the battle with the Qiang people, each ministry lost a lot of men and horses. How about letting the generals select soldiers from the Qiang people to make up for the missing soldiers."
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Wen You's words are reasonable, and we will handle this matter according to your wishes. However, after Zhiyuan reorganized all the conscripted soldiers, they became their own unit and were directly under my management."
Jia Rong knew that he had received great benefits and hurriedly thanked Dong Zhuo.
After leaving Dong Zhuo's camp, Guo Bang walked to Jia Rong's side and congratulated Jia Rong for his military achievements. He then introduced to Jia Rong the unknown generals who were in the camp just now.
The people Guo Bang introduced to Jia Rong were indeed an eye-opener for Jia Rong. They included General Hua Xionghua, Li Cui, Niu Jin and other generals. These people also congratulated Jia Rong one after another, and Jia Rong responded humbly.
These people are the key generals in Dong Zhuo's army, and they are Dong Zhuo's confidants.
When introducing Hua Xiong, Jia Rong looked carefully at him. Hua Xiong was tall and muscular, and he looked like a powerful general. According to Guo Si, Hua Xiong was the current Xiliang Army general.
The first person among them, he is superb in martial arts and generous.
In the Three Kingdoms, Hua Xiong was very famous. He killed many generals from the eighteen princes, but he was finally killed by Guan Erye, leaving behind the story of killing Hua Xiong with warm wine.
Niu Jin and Li Cui were also very forthright generals of the Xiliang Army, but Jia Rong always felt that this Li Cui was not as simple as he seemed on the surface, and that this person must have a deep scheming.
After returning to his tent, Jia Rong changed into cleaner clothes and went to visit the military camp where the soldiers lived.
First, they came to the place where the soldiers from Hechi County lived. Seeing that Jia Rong was coming, the soldiers from Hechi County stood up and saluted Jia Rong. Jia Rong hurriedly stopped them and told the soldiers to lie down on the bed and have a good rest.
Jia Rong expressed condolences to those soldiers who were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, telling them not to worry about the future and to just recover from their injuries. The army would send them home in a few days.
Looking at the eyes of the soldiers in Hechi County looking at him, Jia Rong said: "After two wars, everyone has also seen the cruelty of war. Are you afraid?"
The soldiers from Hechi County looked at Jia Rong and said firmly: "Don't be afraid!"
Although the soldiers' voices were low, they were accompanied by strong confidence.
Looking at this group of young soldiers who had just grown up after experiencing the war, Jia Rong said in a serious tone: "Very good, you will have to train harder in the future. Only by training hard in peacetime can you save your life on the battlefield and fight the enemy with all your strength. In the future,
I will still lead you, and no matter when, I hope we can advance and retreat together."
The soldiers roared in a low voice: "Follow the coach to the death!"
The soldiers are still used to calling Jia Rong coach. In the minds of the soldiers, Jia Rong has always been the coach they admire.
After saying that, they all knelt on the ground and saluted Jia Rong.
This time, Jia Rong did not stop them from worshiping. After this worship, these soldiers will be his most loyal subordinates from now on.
After that, Jia Rong came to the residence of the soldiers in Gudao County and expressed condolences to the injured soldiers. Although the soldiers in Gudao County followed him relatively late, they were the soldiers he brought out with his own hands. During the period when he trained them, they cooperated very well and also
Very hardworking; Jia Rong also has deep feelings for them.
Tonight, the three armies rejoiced together to celebrate the victory over the Qiang people and the victory of the war. Soldiers and generals are usually not allowed to drink in the army, but this time they drank freely.
The soldiers drank and caroused, venting their fear and unknown pressure on the battlefield; no one was not afraid of death, especially when they saw their former robes killed by the enemy.
The three armies caroused all night long, and many soldiers behaved in ugly ways, crying and laughing while drunk, showing the most primitive human emotions.
Even Guo Si, who always treated people very seriously, came to drink with Jia Rong. Guo Si drank a lot of wine and was confused, but Jia Rong tried his best to dissuade Guo Si, and then asked two soldiers to send Guo Si back; what Guo Si had experienced
The war has been much longer than that of Jia Rong, and his understanding of the cruelty of war is also deeper.
Jia Rong was very drunk and kept mumbling some words that were unknown to others.
Seeing the Hechi County soldiers he brought with him were killed by the enemy on the battlefield, but he was powerless. The feeling was indescribable. Every time he thought of the helpless eyes of those soldiers who were in danger on the battlefield, Jia Rong
I wake up from my dreams again and again.
Now, the soldiers have grown up, and the remaining soldiers can be called veterans. Each of their hands has been stained with the blood of the enemy. What is different from the immature ones before is that they stand there with a chilling feeling.
Qi, this is what people who have experienced war have.
The next day, the whole army had a day off, because the soldiers basically had no rest last night and were all celebrating the victory of the war!
On the third day, Jia Rong got up very early because there was something very important today, integrating the team.
When I came to the school field, I looked at the soldiers standing neatly. They were not as undisciplined as before. Although the soldiers from other counties were not like Hechi County, the soldiers from Gudao County stood neatly and tall, but they did not say a word.
, staring straight ahead, just standing there quietly, the whole school grounds showed a chilling air.
Jia Rong looked at these Wuwei County soldiers and said: "When we came from Wuwei County, there were more than 10,000 of us. After two wars, we only have more than 3,000 people left. You are already a veteran. I
There is no need to say anything more, you all understand the cruelty of the battlefield."
"From now on, you will all be under my unified command. Under my subordinates, all you have to do is obey orders and train hard!" Jia Rong continued.
"Zhang Wei, come out!"
As soon as Jia Rong finished speaking, Zhang Wei walked out of the soldiers, walked to Jia Rong, raised his hands to Jia Rong and said, "Here you are!"
Jia Rong was very pleased to see Zhang Wei who was neither humble nor arrogant. Zhang Wei had followed him all the way from Hechi County to now. He saw Zhang Wei's performance; he patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and looked at the soldiers below.
Said: "From now on, General Zhang Wei will be my deputy general. You must obey his command when I am away. Do you understand?"
The soldiers all claimed that it was.
After listening to Jia Rong's words, Zhang Wei knelt down on one knee, bowed to Jia Rong, and then said: "Thank you so much, General, for your love. I will follow the General to the death to repay the General for his kindness!"
Jia Rong helped Zhang Wei up, comforted him a few more words, and said, "Li Shun, Xu Qiang, come out."
Li Shun and Xu Qiang heard Jia Rong calling him, walked out of the team, saluted Jia Rong and said, "Here you are!"
