———————————————————

Yucheng has changed hands twice in just a few days!

Originally adjacent to the Bianqu Canal and close to the prosperous city of Songzhou, the city was full of ruins. Wang Xianzhi robbed the city for three days after breaking the city. After Wang Xianzhi left, Cao Shixiong entered the city and knocked his bones and sucked the marrow again. When Liu Xun and others seized the city, they set off several more fires. Although the fire was put out immediately after breaking the city, they did not rob, but the city was almost in ruins. There were nearly 50,000 people in the city, but at this time there were only more than 10,000 left, most of them were old and weak, and most of the young and strong people were kidnapped by bandits.

The people in the city were already desperate. Although Liu Xun led his troops to regain Yucheng, when Wang Xianzhi led countless troops to come, everyone was desperate. How could more than 3,000 new recruits fight over 100,000 thieves? But even so, during the daytime battle in the city, Liu Xun did not need to send people to recruit organizations, and all the young and old in the city came to the city to help. Everyone had already been determined to die with the city.

Unexpectedly, reinforcements were sent from Songzhou. When the first reinforcements were defeated, they were already struggling in the end. When the second reinforcements arrived, they no longer had hope. However, they never expected that the second reinforcements would defeat tens of thousands of bandits. What made them even more unbelievable was that the one who took the risk to lead the army this time was Li Jing, the commander of the Zhenguo Army.

When they saw the six yamen kneeling down to the young general to bow their luggage in front of the city gate, everyone finally believed it. General Li not only sent reinforcements, but also led reinforcements to come in person and defeated the bandits.

"How could the Grand Marshal take the risk? If there is a mistake, I will not redeem it!" Liu Xun was both excited and scared. There were a large number of thieves outside the city, not counting as the auxiliary. There were 20,000 people. The Grand Marshal actually brought only 5,000 people and killed them.

Li Jing smiled, "You guys have to defend Yucheng, but I can't give up the tactic of roundabout encirclement, so I had to take action myself. Facts have proved that the thieves are indeed a group of candids, a simple show of weakness. They have already begun to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and five thousand horses defeated them tens of thousands of people."

The combat effectiveness of the Cao Army is indeed not strong. The most common trick they use is the human sea tactics, which entangles a large number of people and fights with a large number of auxiliary troops, and uses human sea tactics to flood the opponents. Moreover, in today's battle, Li Jing has already issued a huge weakness of the Cao Army, that is, they have no command power at all. Although there are many people, they have no reasonable and effective command at all. If they change to a slightly stronger general, with these numerical advantages, they can still achieve better results.

"Prepare, the thief army may attack at night tonight!" Li Jing took the water and towel from a personal guard, wiped his face and washed his hands.

"The bandit army was defeated today, why dare to attack the city?" Li Cunxiao asked in confusion.

Li Jing replaced the ordinary armor on his body, took off his battle robe, wiped away the bloody smell on his body with his naked upper body, and he immediately felt much more comfortable. Liu Xun stood on the side, pondered for a while, and explained: "Although the thief was defeated today, he was caught off guard. There were not many real casualties. Death of two thousand and three people in the battle was not worth mentioning for the thief. Today's defeat was just defeated by the chaos of the thief army. When they collected their troops, they would definitely not be convinced. After all, there are only five or six thousand people in the city, and the thief still has a great advantage."

At this time, several personal soldiers brought the food, mainly cooking cakes, white porridge, and some jerky meat and pickled vegetables. Li Jing directly grabbed a bowl of porridge and drank it in one breath to make it feel more comfortable.

"How much food is left in the city?" he asked.

"There is a lot of grain, about tens of thousands of stones. Originally, there were hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in the city. It was close to the Bian Canal in Songzhou, there were many grain merchants and granaries, and there were many wealthy families in Yucheng. When Wang Xianzhi left, he took away a lot of them, but when Cao Shixiong left, he didn't have time to take away the remaining grain." Fu Cun reported to Li Jing.

Li Jing nodded: "Since there is no shortage of food, then let the people in the city be free of food. Today, these people are also helping the thieves. We are the official army. Since we have arrived, we will naturally have to help the people."

Liu Xun nodded. He also had this idea. If Li Jing didn't, he would send the food.

Looking at the six disciples, Li Jing was very pleased. This time they performed well. Although they led a new army, it was amazing to be able to fight the war to this extent. Especially when they knew the current situation, they were willing to stay Yucheng and attract and restrain the Cao army. Although they were a bit too risky, their momentum and courage were worthy of commendation.

"This time the auxiliary army performed very well. I have decided to formally organize the auxiliary army into one army and specially grant the military name to select the front army. The army within the Zhenguo Army will be organized to serve as the front army in the five yamen. There are a shortage of troops and horses, and I will wait for the soldiers to supplement you." Li Jing said with a smile.

Liu Xun and the other six were extremely surprised when they heard this news. The auxiliary army was originally cannon fodder, but now it has suddenly become one of the five armies and five yamen and ten armies. Now there are only six who have established official military names in the Zhenguo Army, namely Black Flag, Tielin, Guanhe, Pengri, Silver Gunjie Army, and Golden Armor Wins the Jie Army. Even the troops in southern Liaoning, Dengzhou and south to eastern Zhejiang have no new military names. The auxiliary army, which has just been recruited for less than half a month, actually has a separate military name. How can it not be delighted?

However, in their joy, they couldn't help but feel uneasy, not knowing who will be the main officers of the Front Army. Now there are only six battalion-level commanders of the auxiliary army. There are no officers appointed by the higher-level wing and lower-level wings, and there are even fewer of the higher-level wings.

"Master, I don't know who will be the military leader, the wing leader?" Liu Xun asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

In the Zhenguo Army, one army commander is the commander of the military commander of the capital, one wing chief officer is the commander of the military commander, one battalion commander is the commander of the commander, and one capital commander is the commander. However, there is another set of titles in the army, which is called the commander of the army commander, and one wing chief officer is the commander of the wing chief officer. One battalion commander is the commander of the cavalry, and one capital commander is also called the capital general, or the capital commander.

In the army of the state, everyone knows that the level of the military envoy is quite high. It is only a little lower than the several main positions of the shogunate. One wing master has commanded 2,500 troops, and is already a middle- and senior general, one military master has commanded 5,000 troops. That is a senior general. Although Liu Xun also understood that although the six of them were all very high in the scattered ranks, they were still too young after all. Now they are only camp masters, and it is possible to be promoted to the wing master. It would be a bit too extravagant to directly promote the military master.

Li Jing smiled. He looked up at the six disciples with anticipation in his eyes and said with a smile: "Why, where are you interested in? The Lord of the Corps? The Lord of the Army?"

Several people blushed slightly and smiled without answering.

"It's a good thing to have ideas, but what's the point of being embarrassed about? If you feel that you have this ability, then you have to fight for it!" Li Jing encouraged.

Yang Shihou was actually full of expectations. His goal was to be promoted to the wing leader of the wing army. He knew that he had little experience and did not dare to expect the wing leader. He secretly looked at the brothers, and when no one spoke, he stood up and said, "Master General, I think the new army of the wing army should be promoted from the original auxiliary army. The brothers can live and die side by side to better cooperate."

"What position do you want to hold? The wing master? The military master?" Li Jing still smiled.

Everyone's eyes shot over, and Yang Shihou couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "I feel that Commander Liu has performed outstandingly in this battle, brave and resourceful, and able to coordinate the overall situation. Commander Liu is recommended to Commander Liu as the head of the Selected Front Army. As for me, I think I should be competent for the position of deputy wing chief." Although I really want to be the head of the wing chief, he also knows that the first army now has only two wing chiefs, and among the sixth brothers, he is only ranked fifth. In terms of qualifications, it is difficult for him to compete with them.

Li Jing also put down his chopsticks at this time and looked at the few people with a smile.

"Let's do this, there are only two thousand left in the Selected Front Army now. So, let's just make up one wing for the time being, and let's talk about the others after the war. Liu Xun!"

"The post is here!" Liu Xunlei knelt down on one knee, his face flushed with excitement. Although the teacher's words have already shown that the selection army now has only one wing, which means that it is very likely that only the wing master will be set up for the time being, and the officers above will not be appointed for the time being. However, this is also good, it is not realistic to be promoted to the wing master all at once. Now the wing master will not be appointed for the time being, so this can actually be regarded as the commander who temporarily retains this position. If nothing unexpected happens, the position will be theirs in the future.

"I am now granting you the position of the left wing of the yamen selection army, and the rank of the military horse envoy. Because you are the commander of the military horse envoy, the military horse envoy." Li Jing stood up and said solemnly to Liu Xun.

"Thank you, General!" Liu Xun took a sword given by Li Jing. He didn't have time to engrave the official seal of the military talisman. This sword of Li Jing was considered a temporary talisman seal.

After helping Liu Xun up, Li Jing nodded slightly and patted him on the shoulder, "Do it well!"

It is also indisputable that Liu Xun and the Lord of Xiang were the boss. First, he was the eldest among the six disciples, and second, he has always performed well and has the highest prestige among the disciples. Moreover, the performance of this battle has proved that he can stand alone.

After being granted to Liu Xunxiang, Li Jing reorganized the current tenth battalion of the auxiliary army into the fifth battalion, and Gao Siji and five others led a battalion commander. In addition, Gao Si succeeded as the deputy commander of the left wing army in the Yaqian Selection Army, Yang Shihou as the Sima of the Left wing, Wang Yanzhang as the Du Yuhou of the Left wing, Fu Cun as the marching judge, and Li Cunxiao as the coach envoy. Li Jing selected a staff officer named Leng Yu from the General Staff Office of the State Army to be promoted to the Left wing wing coach.

"You are a list of officers in the lower team level below. After the staff department is assessed, the appointment and removal will be made. As for the two levels of the team, the Zuoxiang will decide to appoint and remove them and then report them to the staff department." Li Jing did not delegate the appointment and removal power of officers in the second level of the team. This is a core right and must not be delegated.

Everyone had no objection to Li Jing's appointment announcement. Liu Xun was promoted to two levels, and the other five were also promoted to one level, and they were very happy. In particular, Fu Cun and Yang Shihou served as marching Sima and marching judge respectively, which were ranked ahead of Li Cunxiao's coach.

"Master, if you have something under your post, please ask the Master to make a judgment." Liu Xun asked.

"Oh, are there anything else you can't make up for? " Li Jing chuckled.

Li Cunxiao, who was beside him, shouted: "Actually it's not a big deal. It's just a team leader under my command. When we were fighting Yucheng, we were responsible for intercepting reinforcements in the south of the city. After the war, I asked him to clean the battlefield, and the goddamn Ah San killed more than 100 prisoners of the thief. Actually, it's not a big deal. Ah San was still very fierce in the war. He relied on about 200 people to block the charge of thousands of thiefs, and captured Cai Wenqiu, the leader of the thief. However, his brothers under him were seriously injured and injured. He was angry for a moment, and killed the prisoners without asking for instructions when cleaning the battlefield. In fact, those prisoners were seriously injured and could not escape. That knife gave them a pleasure, otherwise, they would just delay for a few more days and suffer more pain."

After hearing this, Li Jing pondered for a while, "Where is he now?"

"I will detain him in custody and wait for the general to deal with it." Liu Xun said, "This kid has indeed made contributions and is very fierce in the war, but it is too undisciplined. If he is not dealt with severely this time, I am afraid that once this opening is opened, the atmosphere of the front-selling army will be difficult to deal with in the future."

Li Jing also understood that Liu Xun wanted to kill one and a hundred, and to warn the monkey. At present, the selection army is still a new army. Military discipline is indeed important. However, military discipline is important, but military morale is equally important. This officer made great achievements this time. If he did not reward him, he would be responsible for his heavy responsibility. I am afraid that the adverse effects of approval will be greater.

After thinking in his heart, Li Jing said slowly: "The most important thing in governing the army is fair and strict. If you have merits, you should be rewarded. If you have any mistakes, you should be punished. The merits he made should be rewarded. Even if you have a military commander, it is enough. In this way, reward his military achievements, promote him to the capital, and give him another 100 stagnant of money and 100 pieces of silk. But at the same time, you should also be punished. If you have any mistakes, you should be punished by privately killing prisoners. When these prisoners were seriously injured, and when the enemy was in a special battle, he would be punished with a hundred sticks. One hundred military sticks will be executed in ten days, and each time it must be carried out in public in front of the entire army to serve as a warning!"

When everyone present heard this ruling, they couldn't help but feel very fair. Liu Xun thought about it and felt that the commander's ruling was better than what he planned. He only thought about military discipline, but not about military morale. He admired him very much and nodded in obedience.

"Okay, the brothers are working very hard today. The general decided to pay 50 stakes to each of the soldiers who died in the vanguard army, 30 stakes to each of the soldiers who were seriously injured, and 10 stakes to each of the other soldiers. In addition, the other soldiers who came to aid, whether it is our army in the town or the soldiers in the Songzhou province, the casualties and the rewards are equal. In addition, each thief's head will be rewarded with 500 stakes! In addition, the soldiers will be given meat, everyone will eat it, and prepare to meet the enemy tonight!"
