Horse on the World

Chapter 30 Military Discussion
After Li Qing blurted out that sentence, he regretted it a little. At this time, he should have been full of enthusiasm and impassioned. How could he be so dry after a meal?Immediately, they were a little embarrassed and hurried forward. Tens of thousands of people were stunned at first, then laughed, and then cheered earth-shatteringly.

"Follow the general, you'll be dry!" someone raised his arms and shouted, and the crowd immediately responded.

Behind Li Qing, Shang Haibo rode his horse through Caimen for the second time. Both Wang Qinian and Jiang Kui Fengguo subconsciously reined in their horses, allowing Shang Haibo to follow Li Qing alone.As for Guoshanfeng, he is still behind Wang Qinian and others!

Lu Yiming's heart skipped a beat when he noticed this detail, and suddenly realized that Shang Haibo had actually built up such prestige under Li Qing's subordinates during the time he was away. His natural behavior made him feel a little sour all of a sudden, but in a blink of an eye, he cheered up again. When Shang Haibo was waiting for the mansion, he was just a dissatisfied crazy scholar, but he was famous. He could do it. You may not be able to do things yourself.The time is still long!Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a fighting spirit welling up in my chest.

"Smart, General!" Riding his horse to Li Qing's side, Shang Haibo whispered to Li Qing with a smile in his eyes.

"What a shame!" Li Qing blushed slightly, "For some reason, I just blurted out, and when I thought it was wrong, I couldn't change my words anymore."

"It's just because the general blurted out without thinking, that's good!" Shang Haibo said: "The people are ignorant. Telling them about the family and the world is tantamount to talking about the piano, but the people's hearts are the most open. Be nice to them, it’s clear what they want, isn’t it just to have a full stomach, to wear warm clothes, and to keep their wives and children warm! Whoever can do this for them, they will die to protect whom."

Li Qing thought about it, and had to admit that Shang Haibo's words were very reasonable. The common people's requirements were not high, but it was undoubtedly difficult to do so in this era. "Mr. Shang, it's easy to say, but difficult to do it. This winter will be fine, but what will happen in the future is not certain? We have only taken the first step."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning! General, if you take this first step well, it will become smoother in the future. Don't you have confidence, General!" Shang Haibo laughed.

This rhetorical question aroused Li Qing's competitive spirit, and a moment of pride filled his chest, "Of course I have confidence, and I firmly believe that I will do better."

"Congratulations to the general for returning from victory!" Xu Yunfeng and Lu Yiming appeared in front of Li Qing.

"Mr. Lu!" Seeing Lu Yiming at a glance, Li Qing couldn't help being overjoyed, jumped off the horse, held onto Lu Yiming's hand with both hands, and said eagerly: "I look forward to Mr. Lu's return sooner or later, but I don't think we will meet today. Have a good trip no?"

Seeing Li Qing's smile and joy coming from the bottom of his heart, Lu Yiming felt a warm feeling in his heart, and said, "I let the general worry about it, and I lived up to the general's entrustment. Everything went well. Not only did I bring back the food needed for the whole winter, but also It is to prepare the grain seeds and farm tools needed for next spring."

Li Qing shook Lu Yiming's hand again and again, "Sir, you have worked hard, but you will serve wine at night to clean up the dust with your husband."

Xu Yunfeng on the side smiled and said: "Mr. Lu arrived a few days earlier, but I have already drank the dust-cleaning wine with Mr. Lu, but today I really want to have a big banquet to celebrate the victory with the general."

Li Qing patted the county magistrate Xu on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the county magistrate seems to be getting thinner. It's been a hard day."

Xu Yunfeng waved his hands and said: "It's hard work, the generals and soldiers are fighting outside, it's really hard work." The two walked side by side, chatting about the old camp while walking, behind Lu Yiming bowed to Shang Haibo He cupped his hands, "Congratulations, Brother Shang." Shang Haibo smiled faintly, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lu has worked hard all the way."

Behind them, the soldiers and the young and strong escorted the goods through the colorful gate and entered the old camp. Every group of soldiers and young and strong passed by won a burst of applause, not to mention the triumphant soldiers who went to battle to kill the enemy. , even those young and strong soldiers who accompanied the army all had bright faces, which is a matter of long faces.

Guo Shanfeng felt the most emotion in his heart, thinking that not long ago he was a bandit who was shouted and beaten by everyone, but in the blink of an eye, he became a hero admired by everyone. Li Er's pockmarked face was even more overjoyed, each pockmarked face was shiny and shiny, and the light could tell others.This kid was cut in the shoulder during the fierce battle of the battalion, and the arm is still hanging, but now it has become a symbol of showing off his bravery, so he had to lift the injured arm higher.

"Brother, it's better to be an officer and kill barbarians!" He said to Guo Shanfeng with emotion.

Receiving property into storage, arranging slaves, and arranging celebrations, Xu Yunfeng and Lu Yiming, who had been prepared for a long time, arranged everything in an orderly manner. In just half a day, the arrangements were completed. Apart from the tens of thousands of slaves, many of them had no houses to live in. At that time, the two of them did not expect that Li Qing would bring so many people back, but the tents looted from the Angu tribe were ready-made. At that time, on the side of the houses built of rows of giant trees in the old camp, there were patches of white. Huahua's tent was set up again.

In the evening, smoke rose from the kitchen everywhere in the old camp, and all the camps were washing rice and putting it into the pot with happy faces, and even slaughtered pigs and sheep in an unprecedented panic. Small temptation, some little guys have been waiting by the cauldron for boiling meat with their birth water flowing.

The fragrance wafting around made everyone in the old camp, who had been in a state of hunger and cold, gulp their saliva.

Unlike other places in the old camp that were gobbling, Li Qing's here is much more refined and quiet. After drinking for three rounds, his face was slightly drunk, Li Qing put down his chopsticks with a smile, and said: "Everyone, we at the end of the Changsheng Camp This difficult time, but with everyone's concerted efforts, we got through it safely, and even had a little money left, here, Li Qing thanked you all." Standing up, he cupped his fists and bowed to everyone.

Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, they all stood up and saluted: "It's all about the might of the general Hu."

"Big fellows, please sit down!" Li Qingxu pressed his hands, "Although we have passed this first hurdle, everyone is well aware of the predicament of my Changsheng camp. We need to encourage each other."

After this battle, Shang Haibo had faintly become the No. 1 under Li Qing. Seeing Li Qing finish speaking, he said: "Don't worry, general, there is a general in charge, I will do my best, and the revitalization of the Changsheng Camp is just around the corner." All said and done.

Seeing the excited expressions on the faces of everyone in the room, Li Qing knew that he needed to reveal his plan in order to let everyone have a clear goal.

"Everyone, on the way back, I already have a plan in mind for the development of my Ever-Victorious Camp, and I will tell you all about it today, and I hope you will check for omissions and fill in the gaps."

"My lord, please make it clear!" Lu Yiming said, unwilling to let Shang Haibo alone be beautiful.

"Building and training the army to invigorate the army. The army is the foundation of our life. This is the top priority. Rebuilding internal affairs to support the people's livelihood is the foundation of our survival. In short, we have to do two things this winter. The first is to train the army, and the second is civil affairs."

When the Changsheng Battalion entered Chong County, there were only a thousand people. According to the military system of the Great Chu, a standard battalion had 3000 people. At that time, the Changsheng Battalion had problems with food, so it was impossible to talk about expanding the army. But now it is different. Not only There are tens of thousands of young and strong among the remaining people in Chong County, and even thousands of slaves rescued this time can be used as soldiers.Military expansion has become a top priority.

"What the general said is that without a strong army, we are fish on other people's chopping boards." Shang Haibo said, "Now that winter has arrived, it is a good time for us to train. Afterwards, our Changsheng Battalion will have the power to fight."

Li Qing nodded proudly. In the past, no one was without weapons, but now there is no shortage of people, and a lot of weapons have been seized from the Angu tribe. When it comes to training strong soldiers, that is his forte.

"The left, middle and right wings of the Changsheng Battalion will be expanded to full strength this time. The leader of the left wing is Wang Qinian." Wang Qinian stood up and clasped his fists.

"Chief of the middle wing, Jiang Kui, your wings are cavalry wings. You have captured enough horses this time. You can give priority to soldiers who can mount and fight. No one can push you!" Jiang Kui was very happy. , why don't you feel elated?

"Leader of the right wing, Feng Guo!" Feng Guo stood up eagerly.

"Guo Shanfeng!" Hearing his name being called, Guo Shanfeng stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Guo Shanfeng obeys orders!" He was a little surprised by the loudness of the voice.

Li Qing smiled slightly, "This time we attacked the Angu tribe, you should take the lead. I said earlier that I would confer on you the Zhenwu captain, and now I order you to form a scout team with 300 people and horses. Directly report to me Responsible."

"Yang Yidao. You are the captain of my personal guard, Tang Hu, the deputy captain, and you two will select brave and loyal soldiers from the whole army to form my personal guard with 100 people." The reason why Yang Yidao was the captain is that Because Yang Yidao is more calm than Tang Hu.

All the generals bowed together to take orders.

"Mr. Shang!" Li Qing turned to Shang Haibo with a pleasant smile.Shang Haibo smiled and clasped his fists, "I wronged Mr. Shang to take up the post of commander in my battalion, assist me in handling military affairs, and serve as military counselor, how about it?"

Shang Haibo laughed and said, "How dare you refuse to follow the general's orders!"
