I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Chapter 968 The Fourth Giant

Su Dingfang rode a horse and drove with Du Qi, not fast. He was suddenly notified by Du Qi, but he didn’t think there was anything. After all, he had already returned to Du Qi. After Su Dingfang stood still, he said: “The king summoned Small Official to see what happened?”

Du Qi opened the mouth and said: “Dingfang, you returned to the Queen in Guazhou City, today , Never arranged your official position. Even after your soldiers returned together, they were already dispersed and reorganized into the army. Do you have any grievances in your heart?”

“Never!”

Su Dingfang shook his head and smiled: “I believe that the king will give me and the soldiers under his command a proper arrangement. All of us will not be treated harshly.”

Du Qi said: “You This mentality is really good.”

Speaking of which, Du Qi appreciates Su Dingfang not only because of his abilities, but also because Su Dingfang has an excellent mentality, and he handles things calmly and wisely, which is rare. Have the ability. There are many capable people, but there are few capable and calm people.

Du Qi said: “Step aside, let’s sit down and talk.”

At this moment, there are trees on the side of the road, so I can just sit and chat under the shade. This kind of atmosphere is more relaxed, and there will be no formal and serious atmosphere, which is exactly what Du Qi needs.

The two stopped on the side of the road.

Moledo and Guan Zhilan also stopped, after all, the two are Du Qi’s close companions.

Du Qi and Su Dingfang are sitting opposite each other, Du Qi opened the mouth and said: “You have been under my command these few days, and you have been familiar with the personnel, and you know the battle strength of the army, and you should also know me. The structure of the army under his command.”

Su Dingfang said: “The current division of the army is mainly Xue Rengui’s First Army, Xiao Yuanqi’s Second Army, and Ma Yuan’s Third Army. The standing army is that These three armies. As for the Royal Guards, they are led by Mulledo. The commander-in-chief of Mulledo has few soldiers, but they are all elite, responsible for protecting the safety of the king.”

Du Qi nodded. : “Yes, it’s basically such an arrangement. Now you submit to me. My initial plan is to form the Fourth Army as the fourth standing army of my Xia Country.”

“You All the troops under your command have been dispersed and rushed into the other three armies, and there is no force divided for you. So next, you have to recruit soldiers separately and form the fourth army.”

“Your subordinates The number of the Fourth Army is set at 40,000. Now the remaining three armies, after taking Hou Junji’s army, reorganizing Hou Junji’s strength, plus reorganizing your soldiers, the number has risen from 30,000 to Forty thousand.”

Du Qi said: “Therefore, the number of the standing army at the moment is also increased. According to this plan, the four armies of 160,000 are the standing army of my Xia Country.”

160,000, not a small number.

But for Du Qi today, it is not too much for Xia Country today, because Du Qi needs such strength. Only this kind of force can support Du Qi to ensure the safety of Xia Country and prepare for the future expedition.

Su Dingfang seemed a little surprised when he heard this. He had just returned to Du Qi and was entrusted by Du Qi with a heavy responsibility. Moreover, he led an army alone to form the Fourth Army. This treatment can be described as a favorite, and it also reflects Du Qi’s trust in him.

Su Dingfang thought for a while, and solemnly said: “My lord, I’m afraid this is something wrong.”

Du Qi said: “Why not?”

Su Dingfang replied: “The reason is very simple, the humble duty has just returned to the king. A person who has just returned to submit to the army alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the crowd.”

Du Qi said: “What can’t you do? You are strong enough to convince the crowd. And you are strong enough to serve as the commander of the Fourth Army. No one dares to say anything.”

Su Dingfang is not an indecisive person, nor does he want to back down. Right now Du Qi has said so, and he has already given the opportunity to him. If he can’t grasp it, he will be too sorry for Du Qi’s trust.

Su Dingfang said loudly: “The minister thanked the king Longen, and the minister will live up to the king’s high expectations.”

He didn’t say much.

Apply directly.

Du Qi saw Su Dingfang’s attitude with a smile on his face, and praised: “I believe you, and after your soldiers are reorganized into the army, you don’t have to worry about them. They enjoy the army. Soldiers will not suffer from the same treatment. Moreover, the salary of our lieutenants is much higher than that of Great Tang.”

Su Dingfang said: “The minister has already understood that it is indeed as His Majesty said. And everyone has their hearts on the king.”

Paused, Su Dingfang continued: “Please rest assured that the king will handle the affairs of the Fourth Army. If you don’t understand, the minister will not pretend to understand. I will inquire and study carefully.”

He wants to form an army alone, so Su Ding is not afraid of war. The problem is to take charge of the army, but it is not an easy task, because he still doesn’t know anything, and he needs to do everything.

So now, Su Dingfang had to learn Classical Chinese Studies from Xue Rengui and the others in order to understand the situation.

Du Qi was very satisfied with Su Dingfang’s words, nodded took a break and continued on the road with Su Dingfang. The army continued to retreat. After passing through the valley and reaching near Rouyuan County, the army stopped to garrison and rehabilitate, because it was near darkness.

After nightfall, the Chinese army has a big account.

Du Qi called Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi, Ma Yuan, and Su Dingfang.

Xue Rengui and several people already know Su Dingfang’s current status and the chief general of the Fourth Army. They did not reject Su Dingfang because Su Dingfang was a powerhouse. The powerhouse in the army is respected, and Su Dingfang is capable and humble, so the relationship between the few people is quite good, and they get along well.

Du Qi looked around the four people and said: “Now the war on the border of Iraq is over. You four will take the lead in returning to Gaochang tomorrow morning.”

Xue Rengui said : “Won’t the king return together?”

Du Qi shook the head, said: “I came out of Gaochang and walked all the way, but I haven’t seen anything yet. I will continue to visit the WeChat account to learn about the place. The situation. I used to take a southern route. Now I am traveling from the north of Rouyuan County to the west from Rouyuan County. Knowing more about the local situation will help set things right.”

“Yes !”

Xue Rengui responded immediately.

Xiao Yuanqi and the others also agreed. Anyway, there is no fighting for the time being, and it is normal for them to withdraw.

Du Qi once again talked about the awards, let the entire group go back and award them through the Ministry of Households, and arrange all the awards and pensions for the awards.

Only in this way can the lieutenant soldiers be convinced.

Everything was arranged properly, Du Qi let everyone retreat, and Du Qi also took a rest early.

The next day, early morning.

Xue Rengui entire group took the lead to leave first, while Du Qi entire group changed direction and continued to drive along the northern line to continue private visits to the microservices. Du Qi hid his whereabouts at this time, and did not rush on with much fanfare. But in Rouyuan County, and even in Nazha County, everything is normal, and the road tyrants I encountered before have long since ceased to exist, so the journey went smoothly without encountering anything.

When Du Qi entire group left Rouyuan County and entered the north of Nazhi County, it was already in August. The weather at this time is quite cool, not as hot as June or July.

Du Qi entire group is slow. When they were on the road in Nazha County, they had received news that the army led by Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and the others had returned to Gaochang.

Su Dingfang is already recruiting soldiers.

Everything is in order.

When Du Qi entire group was on the way, I followed the official cultivation built, but when I was on my way, suddenly there were hundreds of surnamed Yun collections on the Cement official road in the north. Fang go.

This surprised Du Qi a bit.

The northern part of Nazhi County is more remote, with a large area and sparsely populated area. After all, this area is in the Zheluo Mountains. The mountain spreads far away, so there are few people, but now many people gather in one after another.

Du Qi was a little curious and arranged for Guan Zhilan to come forward and ask. After a while, Guan Zhilan met a commoner who was on the way quickly, and after some inquiries, Guan Zhilan returned with a strange expression.

Guan Zhilan respectfully said: “My lord, the specific situation has been clear, but the reason for the gathering of the people is a little strange.”

Du Qi said: “What’s weird.”

p>

Guan Zhilan said: “The reason why the people gather is because the distance to our place is 15 miles to the northwest of Mingqiu Mountain, where King Xia from Xia Country is here. Mingqiu Mountain is a part of the Zheluo Mountain area. There is a village at the bottom of the mountain. King Xia who appeared was saying to solve the plight of the people near Mingqiu Mountain, so he called the people to go. It was precisely this way that so many people arrived.”

Du Qi After hearing it, his expression also had a strange expression.

There is also a Xia Wang Du Qi.

This counterfeit King Xia dare to summon the people under Mingqiu Mountain and the people from ten miles and eight villages. This situation is simply unbelievable, and the fake person is even more daunting.

Du Qi asked: “Have you ever inquired clearly, that is King Xia?”

Nodded, Guan Zhilan said: “Reporting back to the king, that is the king summoned. Because of the king’s order, and the people admired the king, they all went as soon as they heard the king’s call.”

Du Qi said: “Since this is the case, let’s take a look and see to the end. What’s the situation? The things in this world are strange and really surprising. Didn’t expect, even this king has an Avatar.”

Shangguan Yi followed, said solemnly: “The king , It must be someone who faked your identity and took the opportunity to make money. When he was in Yizhou, the identity of the king was public, and he also talked about the private visit of Weifu. In addition, many people have known the private visit of Weifu from Gaochang. Matter. So some people want to collect money under this guise. The minister judged that this is definitely an opportunity to collect money.”

Ma Zhou said solemnly: “This matter must be severely punished.”

The murderous-looking person who came to Ji said: “It is more than severe punishment. Even if the nine clans are involved, it is not an exaggeration. It is no ordinary crime to dare to fake the identity of the king.”

Guan Zhilan said:” King, in my opinion, these people are really heinous. Presumably, they think that the King defeated the Tang Army at the border and must return to Gaochang with the army. So they pretend to visit the King’s micro-service privately and are not worried about being dismantled. These people must be dealt with. If you don’t kill the chicken to warn the monkey, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Du Qi waved his hand and said: “How to deal with things, put them aside for now, let’s go and take a look first. Let’s go, let’s go and explain. Qiu Shan, look at this fake King Xia, what moths are going to come out.”

He is actually very curious.

What kind of person dares to fake him?

Adjust the direction of the entire group to Mingqiu Mountain. Fortunately, it is already not far from Mingqiu Mountain. But it was more than ten miles away, especially the entire group speeded up the journey. In less than an hour, they arrived at the village under Mingqiu Mountain.
