Chapter 185 Call the shots(2/2)
The moment the two parties met, Tian Zili took the lead in saluting, and everyone paid their respects one after another with excited expressions.
The soldiers under Liu Taozi finally got out of their vigilant state. Kou Liu rubbed his forehead tiredly, and finally they were no longer in such a state of "everything is a soldier".
Tian Zili personally stepped forward, took the reins, and led Liu Taozi's horse.
Qingshi recognized this guy and didn't resist.
"My lord, you are finally back. After you left, we have been thinking about it day and night."
Tian Zili was very excited. Although he had many things to say to the general, this was not the place to talk.
The army set off towards Wuchuan. Yao Xiong was surrounded by everyone at this moment, showing off his achievements this time, and the news of Liu Taozi's promotion also spread.
Tian Zili glanced at him and said, "He doesn't learn from Lu Gong's strengths at all."
He looked at Liu Taozi again, with a happy expression on his face, "Brother now has an official position, a title, and more real power."
"The more than thirty garrison buildings and more than forty garrison buildings outside Shuoheng are all owned by my brother."
The town general is an official position that is established during or before war. Generally, the garrison chief is responsible for the border troops.
During wartime, a governor was often appointed, and all localities and garrisons fell under the command of this governor, and they went out together in battles.
This shows the real power of General Zhen.
The town general is a fourth-grade official position, nominally at the same level as the governor. The governor governs the prefectures and counties, while the town general oversees the border fortresses and garrison. Just as the state governors are divided into big and small, the town generals also have high and low levels.
There are generals who only lead a few garrisons, and they may not have more than 3,000 men under their command.
But Liu Taozi's town general and all the other towns outside Shuoheng could put together thirty to forty thousand elite cavalry, which was very terrifying.
During these days, Tian Zili also had a full understanding of various systems in Da Qi.
"Brother, I can finally rectify the frontier soldiers in an honest and fair manner, and I can truly command the frontier soldiers."
"I'm afraid it's not that easy."
"These border garrison towns will never be peaceful in the future."
Liu Taozi spoke slowly, interrupting Tian Zili's sweet dream.
Tian Zili didn't feel uneasy. He laughed and said, "Brother, when I had nothing in the past, I wasn't afraid of these monsters. Now that the situation has become overwhelming, why do we care about so many villains?"
When they returned to Wuchuan, Cui Gang led the rest of the people to greet them.
This triumphant victory greatly boosted the morale of the Wuchuan army. However, some people looked at the corpses that were brought and cried and howled.
This war resulted in many gains, but also many losses.
Several of Liu Taozi's senators were killed in the battle, and the remaining knights who died in the battle, including the Cangtou slaves, numbered more than 800.
Xi people also have bows and arrows and spears, which can also be used to kill people.
Looking at the crying family members of the military households, Liu Taozi was silent for a long time. He called Cui Gang and told him to give more rewards to these military households, and not to kick them out even if they lost their sons.
The army entered Wuchuan, and Liu Taozi ordered the army to disband and rest.
However, the military officers did not dare to rest. They were still counting their military exploits and preparing to fulfill the pre-war rewards promised by Liu Taozi.
In the official office, Liu Taozi sat in the upper position, with his minions on both sides.
Liu Taozi has put on a brand new official robe, with armor on the inside and official robe on the outside. He looks majestic and unstoppable. Among the people under his command, some are wearing armor and some are wearing official uniforms. They are no longer what they used to be.
Rough look.
In the bright official office, civil and military personnel are clearly distinguished and the momentum is high.
There were also soldiers standing outside the door, fully armed, patrolling back and forth.
The hall was filled with generals, so densely packed that some couldn't even sit down.
"Congratulations to General Zhen!!"
Tu Xiyue stood up first and expressed his congratulations to Liu Taozi.
"My subordinates are willing to follow General Zhen and make new achievements!!"
Later, he showed his loyalty.
The generals from various places who were born in garrison towns hurriedly stood up after him, saluted and bowed again.
"I am willing to follow General Zhen and make contributions!!"
However, Tian Zili and others were still sitting in the front seats with smiles on their faces. They no longer had to express their submission.
The results of Liu Taozi's reward had spread throughout the border towns, and generals from all over the country came to Wuchuan to formally pay their respects to the biggest leader.
At the time, Nahe Bacheng was also a town general. After arriving at the border fortress, he needed to win over his relatives here. He used money and bribes to buy them, but he could not get these people to obey.
But the current General Zhen has just returned to Wuchuan for two days, and generals from all over the country are already coming to pay their respects non-stop, and no one dares to hesitate.
Liu Taozi looked at the generals around him one by one.
"I don't care what your surname is. I don't care what letters your relatives in Jinyang write to you. If you follow me wholeheartedly, I will treat you as close to you. I will reward you for your merits and make progress for your merits. I will never be stingy."
"It's still the same three military orders as before."
"It is forbidden to wander, it is forbidden to bully the people, and it is forbidden to be lazy."
"At present, the puppet Zhou Dynasty colludes with the Turks and is ready to move to rectify the border troops. I will divide my troops and attack to make the enemy uneasy."
"This is a good time for the generals to make meritorious deeds and gain fame."
“Don’t make the mistake of yourself.”
Everyone immediately bowed again, "Wei!!"
"If you act against the will and collude with outsiders to harm the interests of our Dabian Town, even if your surname is Gao, I will chop it into pieces and drink it, do you understand?"
"only!!!"
Liu Taozi waved his hand, and everyone sat back in their seats again.
"The Khan attaches great importance to the soldiers at the frontier. He specially ordered me to arrange the civilian men and select elites from them as auxiliary soldiers. They will assist the frontier soldiers in the future, open roads and bridges, and do good logistics so that the frontier soldiers can go on expeditions without worries."
"Long live the Khan!!"
Yao Xiong took the lead in shouting, and the others also shouted.
Liu Taozi added: "Young and strong civilian men from all over the country must be recruited and sent to Wuchuan for training. Later, Tian Changshi will discuss this matter with you."
"only!!"
Liu Taozi looked at Cui Gang who was aside, "This time the border soldiers are following the generals on the expedition. If there are any who have made meritorious deeds but have not been rewarded, they should be investigated immediately. If there are those who have made meritorious deeds but have not been rewarded, send someone to ask for them. My soldiers at the frontier fortress cannot
Be wronged."
As soon as these words came out, the generals sitting in front of Liu Taozi suddenly became much more energetic.
Over the years, the frontier soldiers have been fucking like stepmothers, perhaps because they are not a pure 'Xianbei' army. The ratio of Han people to Qihu is too high, which is different from Jinyang's 'Chinese concept'.
Distinguishing ourselves and the enemy based on geography has become less and less important.
Of course, there are more unexplained factors here, such as Wuchuan.
It is known that every Wuchuan soldier has a relative living in the west.
Zhou and Qi were originally a dynasty, and even two groups in the same uprising. The Bianzhen Uprising created the cornerstone of these two divided powers. After the war, Bianzhen was banned in name, but it was still regarded as a garrison town.
The way continues to exist.
People who used to test their hunger here are now in Jinyang and various places in the Puppet Zhou Dynasty.
And they were more worried about the reappearance of the same group, so they imposed restrictions on food, armaments, promotions, etc., weakened the jurisdiction of the garrison town, did not establish chief generals, and worked hard to disperse them.
In fact, they could not work so hard. If they could feed the border soldiers, even if they didn't hold on, they would be able to feel at ease. But even if they had such a small amount of food, they would take it out from their teeth without any hesitation.
Use other methods to limit, endless greed.
And when it was time to go on an expedition, the generals would select the best from these people and drag them out to fight. After the battle was over, the military merits were obtained, and the border soldiers went back.
The frontier soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so they sent civilians from the Central Plains to replenish them, and hollowed out their own frontier fortress Great Wall bit by bit.
This time, Liu Taozi only brought Wuchuan troops, while the rest of the armies from various places followed the airborne generals to fight. Now that they were sent back after the battle, where had they seen any fucking military exploits?
Liu Datou immediately stood up and said excitedly: "General, this time our troops followed General Murong Sanzang on the expedition. We killed many people, but we never got any rewards!"
Liu Taozi looked at Cui Gang.
"Write it down."
"Send someone to ask Murong Sanzang for it."
"I remember that his ancestral home is not far from us in Daijun. You send someone to tell him that if he owes me the border soldiers, I will take people to demolish his ancestral home and use the skulls of his ancestors as banners."
Cui Gang pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before replying: "Wei"
Liu Datou was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, General!!"
At this moment, someone stood up again and said, "General, our troops killed a powerful commander this time. They were shot by my knights."
"Well, you don't have to tell me. I'll tell Cui Shuzuo later."
"After today, I have the final say in everything. You don't have to be afraid of others."
Chapter completed!
