Chapter 109 Happy Events
After hearing Li Bin's words, Ermu and Tengbal hesitated for a moment, and both knelt on one knee to Li Bin. Ermu first said, "Lord, you saved my life and cured the hidden diseases in my body. Rebuild my kindness to me. Since I, Ermu, have already sworn to be loyal to you, I will never be distracted. Please don't say anything to let me leave."
When using the sun and moon essence of the Tai Chi Bagua Chart to treat internal injuries, the secret disease left by Ermu when he forcibly tried to break through to the great master warrior was also cured.
Tengbar continued, "Lord, I, Tengbar, will not break my oath, please don't worry!"
Li Bin stared at Ermu and Tengba's eyes for a while, then laughed while supporting the two of them, "From the future, I, Li Bin, will treat you two as brothers of life and death. Get up quickly! Get up quickly!"
After Ermu and Tengbar got up, Li Bin said again, "I'm going to give you two a name as the Yan people, so that you can be more convenient in the future. I wonder what you think?"
Ermu and Tengbar looked at each other and said in unison, "Please give your name to you!"
"You two are just like Li Ba, and they both follow my surname Li! Ermu is called Li E, his name is Ziren, his name is Tengbar, and his name is Zixiao. What do you think?"
"Thank you for giving your name to you, I will call you Li Er Li Ziren from now on!"
"Thank you, lord, I will be Li Teng and Li Zixiao in the future!"
After Li E and Li Teng, that is, Ermu and Tengbar left Li Bin's tent, Xue Li, Yang Zaixing, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, wearing armor and holding weapons, suddenly walked into the tent from behind Li Bin.
Li Bin immediately asked the four people, "Ermu, Tengbar's words, you all heard them, what do you think?"
In fact, what Ermu and Tengbar don’t know is that they have been wandering around the gate of hell just now. If they say they want to leave Li Bin, Xue Li, Yang Zaixing, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong, they will immediately rush in and kill Ermu and Tengbar on the spot.
Xue Li pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, what they should say is the truth. And after these days of contact, they are both men with cheerful personalities, and there should not be too many twists and turns in their hearts. Congratulations to the lord for adding two more generals."
Qin Qiong also said, "Lord, my subordinates also think that Ermu, Tengbar is not the one who looks at the surface and behind the scenes, and the people on the grassland attach importance to oaths. I believe that Ermu and Tengbar will not betray the lord."
Li Bin nodded slightly and said, "I admire Ermu and Tengbar's martial arts very much. Both of them are only twenty-four years old this year and have great potential, so you should help me watch them more in the future and don't let them do anything wrong."
Xue Li, Yang Zaixing, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong understood the meaning of Li Bin's words and nodded one after another.
Then Li Bin said, "This time the imperial court is planning to directly expand the organization of our cavalry camp into thirty teams, but it is still called the cavalry camp. However, my battalion position has been upgraded to a level and has become a fourth-rank general of the Hu Ben, which is equivalent to the brigade leader of the imperial guards."
Xue Li asked in confusion, "The organization of thirty teams can completely upgrade our cavalry camp to the cavalry brigade. I wonder why the court gave another battalion to the establishment?"
Li Bin then smiled and explained, "This is related to the battle between the emperor and the Thirteen Generals. From the letter from the Minister of War Xie Zhitong, he learned that the emperor originally wanted to expand the Golden Armored Camp and the Golden Armored Camp to the Golden Armored Camp and the Golden Armored Camp respectively, but he was strongly opposed by the Thirteen Generals. In the end, the Golden Armored Camp remains unchanged. Although our Golden Armored Camp is expanded to thirty teams, the battalion-level organization has not changed."
Yuchi Gong then asked, "Lord, how should we solve the lack of soldiers in our cavalry camp?"
"The central army of the Jinluo Kingdom this time has 370,000 government soldiers. The court allows our cavalry camp to select the soldiers needed for expansion from these 370,000 government soldiers. As for the team rate of the new twenty teams, the deputy team rate, and the team commander and deputy team commander below will be appointed by me with full responsibility."
After saying this, the smile on Li Bin's face couldn't help but become stronger.
The ten teams in the previous Knight Camp, only Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, can be truly counted as Li Bin's direct line. The team rates and deputy team rates of the other eight teams were originally guards around Emperor Zhao Zhe.
Although Li Bin has been using various means to constantly win over these teams and vice-pair rates, at the critical moment, Li Bin felt that the two teams of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong must be relied on.
This time, under the operation of Xie Zhitong, the Minister of War, Li Bin obtained the appointment power of all officers of the newly formed twenty teams, which also means that in the future, Li Bin will have twenty-two teams as his direct line in the Cavalry Camp.
Li Bin then smiled and said, "In addition, our cavalry camp will not enter the territory of Jinluo Kingdom immediately. We will rest in Pingwu City for a while and complete the formation of the new twenty teams. By the way, Xie Zhitong, the Minister of War, also told me a happy event in the letter. My wife has confirmed to be pregnant, and I am also going to be a father!"
Li Bin's last words made Xue Li, Yang Zaixing, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong all overjoyed and quickly expressed congratulations to Li Bin.
The reason why Xue Li, Yang Zaixing, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong are so happy is that once Li Bin has descendants, it means that the Li family will have inheritance.
If Li Bin's generals summoned by Li Bin, if something happens to Li Bin, they will not be implicated, but their faith in their hearts will collapse. If Li Bin has descendants, then they can continue to be loyal to Li Bin's descendants and can rebuild their new faith.
Although the escorts were tens of thousands of war horses, Li Bin and the others did not leave quickly. By the time they arrived at Pingwu City in Laizhou Prefecture, it was already early March of the 17th year of Jianping.
According to the plan to send troops formulated by the monarch and ministers of the Great Yan Empire, the Fourth War of Defence against the Jinluo Kingdom will be launched in early March of the 17th year of Jianping.
However, after Li Bin led the cavalry camp to Pingwu City, he learned that the three siege troops of the imperial court had not completed their pre-war preparations, and the time for sending troops to attack Jinluo Kingdom was further backwards for two months.
After all, the middle army that only attacked the Jinluo Kingdom was composed of the left and right clan guards, the left and right imperial guards, the left and right imperial guards, the left and right tide guards, the left and right Ren guards, the left and right Zhi guards, the left and right Xin guards, and the Laizhou guards, a total of fifteen guards and the 370,000 imperial guards, plus the cavalry camp, the total force would exceed 800,000.
So many troops need to prepare various materials for the expedition, especially the food required by 800,000 people, which requires millions of stones. Now, some of the food and grass for the attacking army in the middle line have not been transported to Pingwu City.
At this time, the entire Pingwu City had become a huge military camp. In the city of Pingwu Guard, Li Bin met Xie Zhitong, the commander of the Central Army, the commander of the Central Army, Du Huairen, the deputy commander of the Central Army, the right assistant of the Ministry of War, the crown prince Zhao Chang, the king of Song Zhao Zhi, the king of Yue Zhao Jing, and the commander of the other ten guards.
The commanders of the Ten Guards are Xie Zhiliang of the Left Sect Guard, Xie Zhijie of the Right Sect Guard, Zhou Shu of the Left Sect Guard, Cao Hongqing of the Right Sect Guard, Ma Huairen of the Left Sect Guard, Du Shaoxuan of the Right Sect Guard, Cui Rong of the Left Sect Guard, Cui Yuan of the Right Sect Guard, Cao Hongchun of the Laizhou Guard, and Zhou Tong of the Pingwu Guard.
Xie Zhitong, the Minister of War, was very happy with Li Bin's arrival. After all, Li Bin is now half of the Xie family.
Xie Zhitong smiled and said to Li Bin, "You have made great contributions to my Dayan this time. Not only did you assist the Langya Guard and Xiongzhou Guard, but you resisted the siege of the 400,000 troops of Jinle and Black Capricorn tribes, but you can finally get my Dayan 60,000 precious war horses. Even the emperor praised you and the performance of the Knight Camp!"
Li Bin hurriedly said modestly, "Report to the Lord Shangshu, this time, I can withstand the 400,000 troops of Jinle and Heike tribes in Langya City. Most of the credits will be to Langya Guard and Xiongzhou Guard. The Mo General and the Xiaoqi Camp have only made some efforts."
At this time, Du Huairen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, smiled and said, "General Li, don't be too humble. You lead the cavalry camp out of the city and defeat Jinle in one battle at a very small price. The deeds of the six thousand-person cavalry teams of the Heike clans have already spread throughout the Dayan, and the people have even respectfully called you Li Xiaoqi!"
Li Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Mr., it is all spread by the people."
On the way to come, Li Bin also learned that the people of Dayan gave him a nickname for Li Xiaoqi and boasted him as a famous general who was rare in the Dayan Empire in a century. It was even rumored that Li Bin came and went smoothly among the 100,000 Hu Guan cavalry and almost killed the Khan of the Jinle clan, which made Li Bin blush when he heard it.
Xie Zhitong, Minister of War, immediately said, "Since General Li has arrived with his escort horses, then according to the previous distribution ratio, each guard will go to the cavalry camp to get the horses, and then train quickly to make the newly formed cavalry troops of each guard to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. If nothing unexpected happens, in two months, our middle army will use troops against the Jinluo Kingdom!"
The total number of war horses brought to Pingwu City by the Knight Camp this time was 56,000, of which 12,000 were from the Knight Camp. The remaining 44,000 war horses will be allocated to the guards participating in the attack on the Jinluo Kingdom.
Each guard can be divided into 1,600 war horses for the 15 guards of the middle army, five guards of the 1,600 war horses for the left side, so the twenty-five guards will be divided into 40,000 war horses for the combined 25 guards.
The remaining four thousand war horses are divided equally by Pingwu Guard, Qianyang Guard and Gaoling Guard.
