Sure enough, after Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao left, they immediately went to see Zhao Hongrun in person and told the latter about the incident.
As Qu Cheng expected, Zhao Hongrun was not interested at all. After some words of comfort, he followed the two men's wishes and asked them to also monitor Qu Cheng.
After all, Qu Cheng now holds a lot of military power, so a few more people to monitor him wouldn't be a bad thing.
Furthermore, because the matter had already been clearly explained, Zhao Hongrun even sent four clan guards to monitor Qu Cheng, and clearly told Qu Cheng that it was to monitor him. Therefore, even if Gu Liangwei, Wuma Jiao Er were added,
People will not affect the relationship between Zhao Hongrun and Qu Cheng, it does not matter whether they exist or not.
On the other hand, Zhao Hongrun was very satisfied with Qu Cheng's various arrangements.
In particular, Qu Cheng considered the attitude of the Wei soldiers in Junshui camp and capped the Chu general position under his command at three thousand generals. This made Zhao Hongrun feel that Qu Cheng was a rare general.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Hongrun personally went to inspect the camp where Chu's surrendered troops were stationed. Sure enough, he found that the Chu's surrendered troops were forming an array under the command of the surrendered generals, and they were lined up neatly.
At this time, it happened that Qu Cheng's newly recruited general Yan Mo was also on patrol to monitor the reorganization of his army. When he saw Zhao Hongrun coming to their station under the protection of Shen Yu, Zhang Ao and a group of Wei soldiers, he was heartbroken.
I was slightly startled, and after hesitating for a long time, I decided to take the initiative to come forward and say hello.
"The last general, Yan Mo, has met King Su!"
To King Su of the Wei Kingdom, Yan Mo seemed to use a great gift to represent his allegiance. After all, in his opinion, Qu Cheng was already loyal to His Highness King Su, so as a general of Qu Cheng, he would do this to King Su Zhao Hongrun.
Even if you use the best etiquette, it is not considered breaking the rules.
Unfortunately, the Wei people here, including Zhao Hongrun, didn't know what Yan Mo's ritual of knocking on one knee and touching the ground with his right fist meant, and they all thought it was a military salute from Chu State, which made Yan Mo
I feel a little embarrassed.
"General Yan Mo, right?... Have you decided on the name of the new army?"
"Name?" Yan Mo was stunned. He felt that the thoughts of King Su in front of him seemed a little different from ordinary people. Logically speaking, shouldn't he ask about the progress of reorganizing the army first?
Seemingly sensing the surprise in Yan Mo's heart, Zhao Hongrun smiled and explained: "Since I have handed over this army to Qu Cheng, I will not interfere with his rectification anymore. I believe there are Chu people like General Yan Mo."
If the hero assists Qu Cheng, nothing will go wrong."
It has to be said that words of praise also depend on what kind of person they come from. If they were spoken by ordinary people, I believe Yan Mo would not feel anything, but when he heard the words from King Su of Wei
When he said these words of praise for the heroes of the Chu Kingdom, Yan Mo couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart, just like when he was valued by Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng.
"Yan Mo is too ashamed to accept the praise from His Highness King Su."
Yan Mo sincerely sighed that the magnanimity of King Su in front of him was indeed what Qu Cheng said. What a great mind he had. You must know that ordinary people would let Qu Cheng, who was born in Chu State, lead a group of people who were also born in Chu State.
A general in charge of a Chu surrender army of more than 50,000 people?
If Qu Cheng suddenly rebelled, all the 20,000 dredging troops and 10,000 Yanling soldiers under King Su of Wei would be killed on this land.
But it is undeniable that this feeling of being trusted is really good, especially after surrendering to the originally hostile Wei State, and being trusted and valued by His Highness King Su of the Wei State.
After thinking about it, Yan Mo said cautiously: "Why don't you introduce the general process of rectification to His Highness?"
"Well, tell me, let me hear your progress." Zhao Hongrun nodded.
Seeing this, Yan Mo clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Your Highness also knows that this surrender army is composed of the original Xiong Hu Army and the original Xiong...well, Xiong Tuo Army. The two armies have grievances with each other. Therefore, General Qu Cheng plans to combine these two armies."
The original organization of the Zhijiang Army was broken up and mixed..." At this point, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun secretly, and wisely gave Zhao Hongrun a chance to express his opinions.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun just nodded his head in response, without any intention of giving any orders or expressing any opinions.
So Yan Mo had no choice but to continue talking and told Zhao Hongrun about the distribution of military power that Qu Cheng had decided before.
I have to say that when it comes to the four generals Zuo Xunxi, Huayu, Gongye Sheng, Zuo Qiu Mu, each commanding an army of 5,000, and he, Yan Mo, took charge of an army of 15,000 on behalf of Qu Cheng, Yan Mo couldn't help but feel
He felt a little uneasy, for some reason he was afraid of seeing a look of distrust on the face of King Su in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun responded with an absent-minded "Uh-huh" and looked erratically into the distance, as if he didn't take his words to heart at all.
Seeing this, Yan Mo was shocked and suspicious, and couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Isn't your highness worried?"
"What?" Zhao Hongrun finally spoke after "huh" for a long time, looking at Yan Mo in confusion.
"The general is saying that your highness is not worried? A new general like Yan Mo holds such military power, isn't your highness worried?"
When Zhao Hongrun heard this, he glanced at Yan Mo and saw that his face was full of worry about gains and losses, so he smiled and said: "If something goes wrong, I will go to Qu Cheng."
ah?
Yan Mo looked at Zhao Hongrun in astonishment and remained silent.
"Is it difficult to understand what I said? It's not difficult to understand." Zhao Hongrun also looked at Yan Mo in confusion and explained: "I only care about Qu Cheng, and Qu Cheng is in charge of generals like General Yan Mo, and
General Yan Mo is responsible for supervising the generals below, and the generals below are responsible for supervising ordinary soldiers. Isn't it nice to have this level one level at a time? I don't have the ability to supervise fifty thousand people."
"No, no, it's not that the general doesn't understand what His Highness said, it's just..." Yan Mo glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a complicated expression.
Although Zhao Hongrun said it very clearly, in fact, without enough magnanimity, who can achieve this level of trust?
At least Yan Mo thought to himself, if he were Zhao Hongrun, he might not dare to hand over more than 50,000 Chu troops to Qu Cheng, who was born in Chu country. Even if he finally agreed, he would definitely place Wei troops in the army.
How dare our generals to act like Zhao Hongrun and really turn their backs on him?
"I know what you want to say." Seeing Yan Mo's nervous expression, Zhao Hongrun smiled and comforted him: "This is what I think. Since you are willing to surrender to our Wei Dynasty, neither I nor our Wei Dynasty will do anything."
I will treat you badly. If your treatment in Wei Dynasty is several times better than that in Chu State, how many of you will object?"
"..." Yan Mo opened his mouth, speechless.
"Let's go with Qu Cheng to think about the names of the new army. It's so unpleasant to keep shouting "surrender the army, surrender the army"... I have said that since you have surrendered to me, the Wei Dynasty, I will treat everyone equally without distinction.
People from Wei, people from Chu... Decide on the number of the new army, and remember to send someone to tell me."
With that said, he patted Yan Mo's shoulder, and Zhao Hongrun led a group of people away. Yan Mo was left standing there dumbfounded, watching Zhao Hongrun's group of people leave.
I don't know how long it took, but Yan Mo suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder.
When he looked back, he saw Qu Cheng looking at him in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Qu Cheng asked in confusion.
Yan Mo took a long breath and said, "Just now, King Su came here for inspection..."
"Oh." Qu Cheng was stunned, and then asked curiously: "What does it feel like?"
Yan Mo thought about it for a while, then said with a wry smile: "I feel that he is much easier to get along with than Mr. Xiong Tuo... Well, he is much easier to get along with than Mr. Xiong Tuo. He is quite kind..."
kind?
Qu Cheng looked at Yan Mo with a strange look on his face. He said to himself that it was because you didn't see how King Su forced him to surrender. He was really decisive in killing him. Even if he said one wrong word, he would end up dead.
But usually, Prince Su is really kind...
Thinking about it carefully, Qu Cheng reluctantly agreed with Yan Mo's initial impression of Zhao Hongrun, and he himself was a bit afraid of Zhao Hongrun. After all, Zhao Hongrun had forced him to pretend to surrender, so he could only make mistakes and surrender.
In Dawei.
Qu Cheng thought he would never forget those words that were as sharp as a sharp knife.
Shaking his head to throw away those bad memories, Qu Cheng changed the subject and asked: "What did King Su say about our rectification?"
Yan Mo shrugged and said strangely: "King Su asked us to think about the numbers of the new army. He said yes, but it doesn't sound good to always shout about surrendering the army."
The number of the new army... I really didn't expect this.
Qu Cheng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked around, but unfortunately he saw no sign of Zhao Hongrun and his group.
"Is it necessary?"
"Of course it is necessary." Qu Cheng glanced at Yan Mo strangely, and then said sincerely: "In fact, that is more important than reorganizing the army... Only by taking a new designation can I wait for the soldiers under my command now.
The generals forgot the past and over time abandoned the Chu State... Even though King Su was young, what he said was often to the point."
"I feel the same way." Yan Mo nodded convincingly, and then asked curiously: "Then... what number should we choose?"
Qu Cheng was seen standing there, looking at the more than 50,000 Chu surrender troops being reorganized in the distance, and pondered for a moment.
After a long time, he said loudly and loudly: "Pingyang Army!"
Ping...yang...jun?
Yan Mo's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Although Yang and Yang have the same pronunciation, Yan Mo would never think it was Yang. After all, the meaning of Ping Yang's army is too obvious: the army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Ping Yang City!
Seemingly noticing Yan Mo's expression, Qu Cheng said seriously: "Right now, what we have to consider is how to gain more trust from King Su so that we can gain a stable foothold in the Wei Kingdom in the future."
Yan Mo thought for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
"Ugh!"
Before sunset that night, Qu Cheng, Yan Mo and others hurriedly completed the rectification work.
At the same time, the designation of Pingyang Army was also submitted to Zhao Hongrun.
It has to be said that when Zhao Hongrun heard about the new designation of Pingyang Army, the Chu surrendered army, he looked strange, but he knew clearly in his heart: This must be Qu Cheng, Yan Mo and others expressing their feelings to him.
This is a good sign.
So, Zhao Hongrun ordered his people to take out all the grain, meat, food, and wine from the baggage of Xiong Tuo, the former Lord of Yangcheng, and reward the three armies.
At noon the next day, after all the soldiers had had another full meal, 20,000 dredging troops, 10,000 Yanling troops, and 50,000 Pingyang troops formally marched towards Chu and towards the border between Chu and Wei. Go in the direction of Shangcai.
At this time, the number of troops under Zhao Hongrun's command has reached more than 80,000!
