Horse on the World

Chapter 562 Reorganization
"Qin Ming ran away?" Li Qing looked at Yang Yidao in surprise.Li Qing, who was in a deep sleep, was hastily awakened by Yang Yidao, and when he heard the news that surprised him, he had just rushed to Shanglinli today, and before he had time to deal with Qin Ming's unit outside the city, Qin Ming unexpectedly slipped away knowingly. gone.

"Yes, Marshal, within half an hour, the sentry cavalry in Shanglin discovered a change in Qin Ming's part, and the reconnaissance found that Qin Ming led a part of cavalry out of the camp and fled towards the depths of the grassland. More than a dozen sentry cavalry followed, and not long after the sentry cavalry came back to report the news, a lieutenant of the Dingzhou soldiers left by Qin Ming's troops in the camp also rushed to Shanglin. He reported that Qin Ming had taken away all the rations and a large number of bows and arrows, and disappeared without leaving any orders. The school lieutenant is currently the highest-ranking person there, and he didn't know what to do because of his panic. Come to the forest to ask me for help!" Yang Yidao felt a little regretful, it seemed that Qin Ming had learned the news in advance, and Qin Ming's actions were really fast, even if he hesitated for a day or two, this Not one of the five hundred palace guards could escape.

"Qin Ming is really a general. He made a quick decision and never dragged his feet!" Li Qing shook his head and smiled wryly. He originally wanted to take down [-] palace guards in one fell swoop after the arrangements were made, so that the Dingzhou soldiers would not suffer too much. If Qin Ming fled to the depths of the grassland, he would definitely become a thorn in his back, although it was uncomfortably itchy, but he couldn't scratch it.

"Marshal, do you want us to send troops to pursue immediately?" Yang Yidao asked.

Li Qing stood up in cloaked clothes, and walked out of the house. It was a rare sunny day tonight, and the stars in the sky blinked and blinked out from behind the clouds to let the wind out. Li Qing looked up at the starry sky for a long time, and the cold wind made his mind clearer. , shook his head and said: "No need, Qin Ming took away [-] palace guards. This group of people is extremely powerful, and their equipment is much better than that of the Dingzhou army. Unless it is my personal guards If the battalion is here, they can still be stopped, and the rest, if they no longer have an absolute advantage in numbers, it will be difficult to beat them, besides, how many cavalry can you have in the forest?"

"Then let them go like this?" Yang Yidao felt unwilling.

"Qin Ming's escape is nothing more than a horse bandit on the grassland in the future. He is in danger and can no longer shake the overall situation of Dingzhou. But let us deal with him slowly, but Neveu must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise he will go to the forest. People are always in panic, which is not good for me in Dingzhou. After Naveu is resolved, Dingzhou's internal worries will be wiped out. We can concentrate on the battlefield in the Central Plains and hit the apocalypse hard. Therefore, the focus now is on Naveu. !" Li Qing said.

While the two of them were talking, Luo Daoming also rushed over, apparently having received the news, "Marshal, Qin Ming has escaped!" He was out of breath.

Li Qing nodded, "I know!"

Luo Daoming sneered and said: "If you can escape, the monks cannot escape from the temple. Commander, the families of the [-] palace guards are still in Dingzhou. They are all arrested and chopped down, as a respectful example!"

Li Qing chuckled, "What's the point of killing? A group of women, children, children, and old people are nothing more than a group of women, children, and the elderly. If they are killed, Qin Ming and the others are determined to become horse bandits on the grassland. Keep them and give them to the [-] palace guards." The soldiers left a thought, um, what you said reminded me, Mr. Luo, the news of Qin Ming’s escape will be sent back to Dingzhou City tomorrow. In addition, tell Lu Yiming that although the family members of these people don’t have to act anymore Military family members, but don’t embarrass them, let them live well in Dingzhou City, they live well, maybe I can hook some of those palace guards back to me one day! In the past, the soldiers of these palace guards were enough to feed Now that they have no source of livelihood, life must be difficult, let them allot fields to each household, and let them support themselves!"

"The Commander is merciful!" Luo Daoming said.

Li Qing shook his head, "I'm not being kind, I'm just using it as a bait. Every palace guard is very powerful. If we can get one back, when we go to wipe them out, our Dingzhou soldiers will say Maybe a few people will die!" Stunned his feet, rubbed his hands, looked at the two of them and said, "Forget it, I won't be able to sleep well today anyway, since the two of you are here, let's discuss together! "

The three of them walked into the room, the earth dragon was burning in the room, it was warm and pleasant, and the kang was also warm. Li Qing jumped on the kang, sat down cross-legged, and greeted the two of them: "Come on, the people on the kang are warm, let's sit on the kang Say it!"

Yang Yidao quickly took off his shoes, jumped onto the kang, and sat down cross-legged like Li Qing, but Luo Daoming pleaded guilty several times in fear, then climbed up cautiously and sat on Li Qing's seat. side.

"Qin Ming's escape left us with a problem, but it also made it easier for us to rectify this group of troops. The remaining Dingzhou soldiers seem to be very credible. One knife, this time I came from Dingzhou Among the troops brought from the city, there is a battalion of recruits, some soldiers from the Hengdao Battalion and some soldiers from the Panshi Battalion, and now you add your Selected Front Battalion and the original Qin Ming troops outside the city. How long can you integrate them? "

Yang Yidao pondered and said: "The commander brought more than [-] people from Dingzhou, including [-] new recruits. Although there are a group of retired veterans as the backbone, their combat effectiveness is still far inferior to that of Dingzhou's regular army. Panshi Battalion At present, the morale of the army is fluctuating, and we cannot place high hopes on it. The same is true for the more than [-] soldiers left behind by Qin and Ming. At present, we can only use the soldiers of Shanglinli Xuanfeng Battalion and Hengdao Battalion as the backbone to reorganize and merge, and bring the old with the new to improve the combat effectiveness. Calculated in this way, it may take about ten days to complete the marshalling."

"Ten days, maybe it's too long!" Li Qing said, "I'm afraid Xu Ji can't stop Nafu's elite Bai people!"

Luo Daoming said: "Commander, General Yang, in fact, the spies in the Panshi Battalion have been purged, and the rest are veterans of Dingzhou, and the same is true for the Qinming Battalion outside the city. In this case, why not promote a group of officers from these battalions, How about letting them lead the recruits, so as to reassure these people and let them know that the commander-in-chief still trusts them, can the combat effectiveness of the recruits be further improved?"

"It's feasible!" Li Qing nodded, "What do you think of a knife?"

Yang Yidao said: "If you want to promote them, you can only let them go to the new barracks and separate them from the former subordinates, so that it is easier to control."

"You can handle this matter. One knife, six days. I want you to complete the consolidation within six days. After ten days, I will lead my troops to Luofeng. I can't let Nafu flee into Dingzhou or into the grassland. If you really want to Let her enter the grassland, but there will be big trouble!"

"Marshal is right!" Luo Daoming said, "On the grassland, there are still many small tribes or Bai people who escaped our search and did not move to the upper forest. If Nafu returns to the grassland, It is very easy to gather them again, and there will be no peace in Shanglinli. We can't keep martial law! Over the past few days, Shanglinli has suffered heavy losses, and now it is all on its laurels. If it continues like this, Shanglinli's finances are about to collapse! It's best to solve it as soon as possible."

"Bo Yan, Qi Yu, how about Jing Dong and the others? You didn't make things difficult for them, did you?" Li Qing asked Luo Daoming.

Luo Daoming said with a smile: "I know they are the panacea for stabilizing the forest, I am serving them carefully like a grandson, but Boyan looks a little abnormal, and he doesn't understand our actions, but Qi Yu And Jingdong, the two of them are filled with righteous indignation at Naveu's rebellion, and they are very enthusiastic about helping us stabilize Shanglin."

Li Qing laughed, "Qiyu, the relatives of Jingdong and Jingdong are both leading the army outside, and I have given them a certain amount of trust, and these two families are now rich men in Dingzhou. The two of them suffered heavy losses, and I was afraid that they were bleeding in their hearts! Wouldn’t it help you to stabilize the order? Now they may lose tens of thousands of silver a day, so they can’t be in a hurry. As for Boyan? Since he doesn’t Enthusiastic, you don't have to pay attention to him."

"Yes, Marshal, these days, I have been arranging Qiyu and Jingdong to meet and visit some influential original barbarian leaders and nobles in Shanglin. The effect is still obvious."

"Very well, you should treat such people generously, let them move freely in Shanglin, and set an example for others!" Li Qing said, "We must do everything possible to reassure the minds of the barbarians in Shanglin. Tell them that this is only Neveu's problem and has nothing to do with them, so that even if we kill Neveu at that time, it will not cause too much shock in the upper forest!"

In six days, Yang Yidao fully demonstrated his talents for the first time. The [-] troops were merged and reorganized and divided into three battalions, called the Selection Front Camp and the Rock Camp. Since the newly established battalion has no military achievements and no prominent past, according to the Dingzhou Army's practice, they cannot have a battalion name of their own.It can only be called the third battalion with grievances, which makes the officers transferred from the selection front battalion and the old rock battalion very unhappy. They must work hard in the next battle and have a It's your own camp name, not the current name that makes people irritated when you hear it, third!

Luo Daoming brought Qi Yu Jingdong to meet with the influential barbarian nobles in Shanglin or the newly rising barbarian businessmen for days to reassure himself and allow these people to move freely. Of course, there are still people involved in these activities. For surveillance, Luo Daoming generously explained this to them, and told them that this is just a routine. After the end of the Dashuai's chaos, they will resume their normal lives. Dingzhou will never The rebellion treats the barbarians who have sincerely integrated into Dingzhou differently.

With this series of actions, the atmosphere in Shanglin slowly returned to normal. The number of soldiers patrolling the streets is decreasing day by day, while more and more barbarians are allowed to go to the streets. Some shops have already opened their doors. Open for business, entertaining batches of soldiers who poured into the upper forest.

Ten days later, Li Qing led the newly formed Panshi Battalion and the Third Battalion from Shanglinli to Luofeng, and Boyan, Qiyu, Jingdong and a group of Shanglinli soldiers were also traveling with the army. Barbarian headman noble.
