Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 23: Integration

Dong Zhuo motioned for a soldier beside him to read out the battle achievements. The content of the battle achievements included the number of enemies killed, the number of Qiang soldiers captured, and the number of losses of one's own side, all of which were just rough statistics.

The soldiers led by Jia Rong were the one with the most military exploits, killing the enemy and taking prisoners, totaling more than 500 people; the soldiers in the worst county had more than 100 soldiers left after the war.

After the soldiers finished reading, Dong Zhuo signaled Jia Rong to come out, then patted him on the shoulder and said with a big smile, "This is Jia Rong and Jia Zhiyuan. In this battle, his team has killed the most enemies among the soldiers from all counties. The team with the most prisoners and the least loss is your example; and this time we were able to win so quickly, it is inseparable from Zhiyuan's strategy. He set fire to the camp of the Qiang people, resulting in the defeat of the Qiang people. The morale of the disintegrated Qiang people is indispensable."

"I have decided that Jia Rong will lead the soldiers recruited this time, and start reorganization the day after tomorrow. Tonight, the three armies will congratulate the victory of the war." Dong Zhuo said.

Jia Rong hurriedly knelt down to thank him and said, "Thank you General for your kindness. I must work hard in a humble position and live up to the General's trust."

Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction and motioned Jia Rong to get up.

Next, Dong Zhuo ordered the execution of several leaders who were ineffective in fighting, and rewarded the leaders who had made great achievements on the battlefield; not only the leaders like Jia Rong, but also those unfamiliar faces Jia Rong didn't know.

But Jia Rong remembered the names of the generals who were rewarded, and he must have made friends afterwards, because Jia Rong heard "Hua Xiong", a well-known name in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as Niu Jin and Li Cui.

Seeing that the rewards and punishments were over, Dong Zhuo returned to the commander's seat and said, "Let's talk about the handling of the Qiang captives. I plan to execute them all. What do you think?"

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Jia Rong immediately stood up from the generals, bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "You can't do it, general. If you do this, it will only chill the hearts of the Qiang soldiers who surrendered. If there is another war with the Qiang people in the future, the Qiang people will die." The soldiers will definitely use their lives and never surrender, which is not good for our army, please think twice, general."

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he was furious and said, "Bold, you little Qiang people, how can I be afraid of you?"

Jia Rong hurriedly explained: "General calm down, please listen to the humble officer; if we take in the soldiers of the Qiang people and disperse them in various teams, these are the elite soldiers of the Qiang people, and they will definitely benefit our army and increase our army. Strength."

At this time, the middle-aged scribe appeared again, and he cupped his hands to Dong Zhuo and said, "General, what Jia Rong said is indeed true. If you kill all the Qiang people who surrendered, it will definitely damage the general's reputation; Incorporating the surrendered Qiang soldiers will not only increase the strength of our army, but also reflect the general's magnanimity, please think twice!"

After Dong Zhuo listened to the words of the middle-aged scribe, he pondered for a while, then laughed and said: "My son-in-law's words are reasonable, but the general was confused for a while."

Jia Rong cast a grateful look at the middle-aged scribe, and the middle-aged scribe smiled at Jia Rong and said nothing.

Dong Zhuo looked at the middle-aged scribe and said, "Wenyou, in your opinion, how should these Qiang soldiers be organized?"

The middle-aged scribe thought for a while and said: "After the battle with the Qiang people, all the ministries lost a lot of troops. Why don't you let the generals choose soldiers from the Qiang people to make up for the lack of soldiers."

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Wen You's words are reasonable, so I will handle this matter according to your wishes; but after Zhiyuan reorganizes all the recruited soldiers, he will also form his own department, which will be directly under my management."

Jia Rong knew that he had benefited greatly, so he hurriedly kowtowed to Dong Zhuo.

After leaving Dong Zhuo's camp, Guo Si walked to Jia Rong's side, congratulated Jia Rong for his victory, and then introduced Jia Rong to those generals he didn't know in the camp just now.

The people Guo Si introduced to Jia Rong really opened Jia Rong's eyes, including General Hua Xionghua, Li Cui, Niu Jin and other generals; these people also congratulated Jia Rong one after another, and Jia Rong responded modestly one by one, These people are the key generals in Dong Zhuo's army, that is, Dong Zhuo's confidantes.

When introducing Hua Xiong, Jia Rong took a special look at him. Hua Xiong is tall and burly, with bulging muscles. At first glance, he looks like a powerful general. According to Guo Bang, Hua Xiong is the leader of the Xiliang Army today. No.1 in the movie, superb martial arts, bold.

In the Three Kingdoms, Hua Xiong was very famous. He killed many generals of the [-]th princes, but in the end he was killed by Guan Erye, leaving behind the story of warming wine and beheading Hua Xiong.

Niu Jin and Li Cui were also very forthright generals of the Xiliang Army, but Jia Rong always felt that Li Cui was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, and that this man must have deep scheming.

After returning to his tent, Jia Rong changed into clean clothes and went to visit the barracks where the soldiers lived.

First came to the place where the soldiers of Hechi County lived. Seeing that it was Jia Rong who came, the soldiers of Hechi County got up and saluted Jia Rong one after another.

Jia Rong condoled those soldiers who could no longer go to the battlefield after being seriously injured, so that they don't have to worry about the future, but just recover from their injuries, and the army will send them home after a few days.

Looking at the eyes of soldiers from Hechi County looking at him one by one, Jia Rong said: "After two wars, everyone has also seen the cruelty of war. Are you afraid?"

The soldiers in Hechi County looked at Jia Rong and said firmly, "Don't be afraid!"

Although the voices of the soldiers were deep, they were accompanied by strong confidence.

Looking at this group of young soldiers who had just grown up from the war, Jia Rong said in a heavy tone: "Very well, your training will be even harder in the future. Only by training hard at ordinary times can you save your life and fight the enemy hard on the battlefield. I will lead you in the future, no matter when, I hope we can advance and retreat together.”

The soldiers roared in a low voice: "Follow the coach to the death!"

The soldiers are still accustomed to calling Jia Rong by coach. In the minds of the soldiers, Jia Rong has always been the coach they respect.

After finishing speaking, they all knelt on the ground and saluted Jia Rong.

This time, Jia Rong did not stop them from visiting. After this visit, these soldiers will be his most loyal subordinates from now on.

Afterwards, Jia Rong came to the residence of the soldiers in Gudao County, and condoled the wounded soldiers. Although the soldiers in Gudao County followed him later, they were also soldiers brought out by himself. During the period of training them, they cooperated very well. He worked very hard; Jia Rong also had deep feelings for them.

Tonight, the three armies rejoiced to celebrate defeating the Qiang people and winning the war. Soldiers and generals are usually not allowed to drink in the army. This time, soldiers and generals drink at will.

The soldiers drank and reveled, venting their fear and unknown pressure on the battlefield; no one was not afraid of death, especially seeing his old robes killed by the enemy.

The three armies had a carnival all night, and many soldiers made ugly appearances, crying and laughing while drunk, showing the most primitive emotions of human beings.

Even Guo Si, who has always been very serious about others, came to ask Jia Rong for a drink. Guo Si drank a lot of wine and was confused. Jia Rong tried his best to dissuade him, and then sent two soldiers to send Guo Si back; War is much more unknown than Jia Rong's, and he has a deeper understanding of the cruelty of war.

Jia Rong was so drunk that he kept babbling words unknown to others.

Seeing with his own eyes the soldiers from Hechi County that he brought were killed by the enemy on the battlefield, but he was helpless. The feeling is indescribable. Every time he thinks of the helpless eyes of those soldiers who are in danger on the battlefield, Jia Rong Waking up again and again from the dream.

Now, the soldiers have all grown up, and the remaining soldiers can already be called veterans. Each of them has the blood of the enemy on their hands. The difference from the immature before is that they stand there with a sense of chilling. Qi, which is possessed by those who have experienced war.

The next day, the whole army had a day off, because the soldiers basically didn't rest last night, and they were all celebrating the victory of the war!

On the third day, Jia Rong got up very early, because there was a very important matter today, to integrate the team.

When I came to the school grounds, I saw that the soldiers standing neatly were not as undisciplined as before. Although the soldiers from other counties were not as neat and straight as the soldiers from Hechi County and Gudao County, they did not say a word , looking straight ahead, standing there quietly like that, the whole school grounds showed a murderous aura.

Jia Rong looked at the soldiers of Wuwei County and said: "When we came from Wuwei County, we had more than 1 people. After two wars, we only had more than [-] people left; you are already veterans. There is no need to say anything more, you all know the cruelty of the battlefield."

"From now on, you will be under my unified command. Under my subordinates, all you have to do is obey orders and train hard!" Jia Rong continued.

"Zhang Wei, come out!"

As soon as Jia Rong finished speaking, Zhang Wei walked out of the soldiers, walked to Jia Rong's side, and said to Jia Rong, "Here!"

Looking at Zhang Wei who is neither humble nor overbearing, Jia Rong is very pleased. Zhang Wei has followed him all the way from Hechi County to the present, and he has seen Zhang Wei's performance; he patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder, facing the soldiers below Said: "From now on, Zhang Wei will be my deputy general. When I'm not around, you have to follow his command, understand?"

The soldiers all claimed it was.

After Zhang Wei heard Jia Rong's words, he knelt down on one knee, bowed to Jia Rong, and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness. I must swear to follow the General to the death, and repay the General for his kindness!"

Jia Rong helped Zhang Wei up, comforted him a few more words, and said, "Li Shun, Xu Qiang, come out."

When Li Shun and Xu Qiang heard Jia Rong calling them, they walked out of the team, saluted Jia Rong and said, "Here!"
