After disembarking, accompanied by Tian Cheng and others, Han Qian looked at the construction status of the river embankment at the mouth of the river and talked about his ideas for further modifications to the camp.
Han Qian worked hard to promote the unified registration of natives and guests in Xuzhou. Of course, he would not retain a separate camp establishment in the army. He thought of recruiting the village soldiers who had moved to Linjiang County into the army and mixing them with the existing soldiers and horses.
, and then disassembled into three battalions of infantry and horses outside the water camp to cooperate with Jinling's possible battle against Tanzhou in winter.
The third battalion was led by Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng respectively, and Xi Chang, Feng Xuan, and Feng Zhang were appointed as deputy commanders.
The first level of the Dachu camp usually only has 500 men, and the fifth battalion has 2,500 generals. However, Han Qian could not find enough senior military officers.
Although Zhao Wuji, Guo Nuer, Lin Zongjing, Xi Faer, Guo Queer and others have been with Han Qian for a long time, most of them participated in the Jingxiang War and accumulated certain command experience, they are still too young after all to serve as battalion commanders.
A high-ranking military attache may not be able to overpower the generals below, and it is easy for others to give the impression that he is a private person in the army.
It’s okay to create such an impression on others. If you create such an impression on God Bless me, I’m afraid there may be extraneous consequences in the future.
Han Qian simply expanded the battalion-level establishment to 1,000 people, and each battalion was organized into ten hundred-man teams. Lin Zongjing, Guo Nuer, Guo Queer and others were moved down to the team leader level.
It is easy to organize the camp, but the sources of the infantry for the camp were complicated before. This time, thousands of soldiers have to be broken up and organized into teams. It is extremely difficult to complete the war training within a month.
Of course, the training period for new recruits in the local state camp is only one month, and most of them are not veterans. If Han Qian's requirements are not high, the soldiers and horses of the third battalion will definitely be much stronger than the combat effectiveness of the local state camp. After all, even if
Most of the new recruits are veteran soldiers who are brave and good at fighting.
It's just that the current three battalions of infantry are still far behind the elites in Han Qian's mind.
Han Qian thought that it was almost time for General Zuo Si to return to the army.
With more than sixty experienced Zuosi elite scouts as grassroots military attachés organized into the third battalion, a lot of work can be advanced faster in the next month.
After Han Qian told Zhang Ping, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng, he went back to the temporary tent to rest and wait for everyone to rush to Longya City together tomorrow.
Feng Liao avoided everyone again at night and came to the big tent alone to see Han Qian:
"General Zuo Si was assigned to the household office during this period, and I still have some understanding of their mentality. Although everyone will feel sorry for your humiliation after the secret decree is made public, it is undeniable that before the secret decree was made public,
, there are still many people who are resentful about being coerced by adults to Xuzhou; of course, more people are just more worried that the family members staying in Jinling may be forced to break up, and are unwilling to do their best...
"
The rosin torch in the tent was burning. Han Qian looked at Feng Liao's slightly gloomy face and asked directly:
"What do you want to say?"
Feng Liao raised his head and spoke more clearly: "Almost all the generals of Zuosi have their families staying in Jinling, but among the five hundred disciples of Zuosi who followed you to Xuzhou, there are also their nephews, so in the secret decree
Before it was made public, most people were hesitant and struggling in their hearts just because of worry, but there were a few who were resentful, and there were also some people who thought that the master had a heroic spirit - there was room for trade-offs in how Zuo Si generals were used.
"
"Speaking such words as the so-called hero is a disaster. I don't want such words to come out of your mouth again." Han Qian glanced at Feng Liao and said, "In addition, who are the generals of Zuo Si who are suitable for editing?"
For those who are in the army, please draw up a list for me."
"I understand." Feng Liao bowed and exited the tent.
"It's as if you won't do it if he doesn't say it - is he trying to be smart, or is he really a little clever!" Xi Rong looked at Feng Liao's leaving figure, used scissors to cut off a section of the light cord, and called it candlelight.
become a little brighter.
Han Qian sighed softly and said: "It's a little clever, but it's just a smart thing."
Feng Liao didn't mention it, but Han Qian would also use some tricks in the appointment of Zuo Si's generals and Zuo Si's children to ensure that his influence could penetrate to the grassroots.
Now that Feng Liao has made this matter clear, if he really wants to do this, it will be equivalent to a handle that Feng Liao has in his hands.
"Are you going to do what he said, or knock him down directly?" Xi Yan picked up her fingernails with the tip of the scissors, her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom under the lamp, and said, "I think it's better to knock him down directly, Feng
The family has taken care of you, and now it means nothing. Feng Liao actually has the courage to take advantage of you. Who knows what he will do in the future?"
"According to what you said, I should have slapped you right away." Han Qian looked at Xi Rong and said, reaching out to touch her slender and smooth neck, and then touching her smooth face.
At that moment, Zhao Ting'er opened the curtain and walked in. He was so frightened that he sat up straight as if he were a thief.
Xi Rong glared at Han Qian provocatively, stood up, stretched and walked out.
Although it was a bit chilly at night in Xuzhou at this time, Xi Rong and Zhao Ting'er were still wearing thin skirts. Xi Rong stretched his waist, and his waist was obviously slender and soft when viewed from behind.
Han Qian looked at it several times before his thoughts returned.
More than a year ago, if Feng Liao had manipulated him, Han Qian probably wouldn't have tolerated it.
Even if he wouldn't knock people to pieces like Xi Rong said, Han Qian would kick Feng Liao into the ravine in Xuzhou so that he would never be able to stand up again in his life.
At this time, Han Qian was in a calmer and calmer mood. Knowing that Feng Liao was so smart, he was probably more afraid that he would become an outcast one day!
Feng Liao is actually betting on whether he can tolerate smart people, right?
Han Qian could more or less understand Feng Liao's struggling mentality at this time.
Han Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He opened the curtain and walked out of the tent. He looked up at the stars in the night sky. He secretly felt that he really wanted to be like his father, but his state of mind was also pure.
"Lord Sima, what are you thinking about?"
Han Qian turned around and saw Zhang Ping holding a jade flute in the camp, wandering under the starry sky, and said with a smile: "The night sky is so clear, I really don't want any more bloody killings to happen.
, does Mr. Zhang also have such feelings?"
"Lord Sima is capable of quelling bloody killings, so I feel more emotional. Zhang Ping has been wandering for half his life, but he hopes to be at peace with the situation." Zhang Ping said with a smile.
"Master Zhang also knows the rhythm?" Han Qian asked, looking at the jade flute in Zhang Ping's hand.
"I know some music, but I can't play the flute well. In the past few years in the palace, I have been very cautious, and I don't dare to make any strange noises to get scolded. But these days in Qianyang City, I have nothing to do and start learning again.
I am playing the flute but I still can’t play it well, so I don’t want to make Lord Sima laugh.” Zhang Ping looked at the jade flute in his hand and said with a smile.
Among the many people in Wanhonglou, almost everyone felt tense. Even Li Zhigao was tense inside, only Zhang Ping seemed calm and indifferent.
Of course, Han Qian didn't know yet whether this was Zhang Ping's disguise. He stood in front of the camp, chatted with Zhang Ping for a while, and then went back to their tents to rest.

…………
Early the next morning, everyone set out from the mouth of the Shahe River and headed north, along the Shahe River, across the newly excavated Longya Canal, and entered the Longya Mountain. They followed the newly widened post road on the west bank of Wuliu River. It was almost dusk before entering Longya Mountain again.
Yacheng.
Dragon Tooth City has turned into a bustling military camp.
Thirty households of slaves who moved west from Yandangji to Xuzhou all settled near Longya City. In addition to the hundreds of craftsmen and craftsmen in the iron smelting field and armor workshop, the number of generals gathered at this time had exceeded
Three thousand people; five or six hundred additional soldiers will be added in the future, which can be used as reserves.
The barracks in Longya City are relatively sufficient, and everything is in order. Zhang Ping, Yao Xishui, and Chun Shisanniang have also arranged a separate courtyard.
Han Qian used Longya City as a gathering place for troops and horses. Yao Xishui had the opportunity to walk into Longya City this time, and he understood the strategic position of Longya City.
In addition to the Yuanjiang River that goes around the east side of the Central Mountains, Longya City is the land pass from Xuzhou to Chenzhou from the north.
At present, the native surnames of Chenzhou are very wary of Xuzhou. More than a thousand soldiers have gathered in Jiming Village, thirteen or fourteen miles north of Longya City, and about thirty miles down the Chen River from Jiming Village.
You can avoid detouring two to three hundred miles by waterway and take a shortcut directly to the Yuanshui River.
On this ancient post road, Longya City has the advantage of being in a commanding position.
In the hinterland of Chenzhou, Chenyang City is located at the mouth of the Chenshui River into the Yuanjiang River, and sixty miles further down the Yuanshui River is Yuanling, the prefecture of Chenzhou.
In other words, by capturing Jiming Village, the hinterland of Chenzhou will be under the front of the Xuzhou Army, and the waterway from Wuling County in Langzhou, which is directly controlled by Tanzhou, will be shortened by 200 miles.
At the same time, the troops stationed in Longya City can also effectively protect the hinterland of Xuzhou. If there is any trouble, Wuliuzhai is twenty miles to the south. Walking along the Shahe River, Wuliu River can enter the Yuanjiang River at the fastest speed.
Of course, Yao Xishui was amazed that Han Qian was able to do such a good job in Xuzhou in less than a year, and he also understood Li Zhigao's original advice not to forcefully control such a person.
It's a pity that the time she understood this was too short, and Mr. Li Marquis and the Palace Master may not be able to recognize this yet.
