Li Chengzhong received the commission to submit a petition, which was issued by the Lulong Jiedu Mansion. The Pingzhou governor and the Pingzhou military envoy jointly signed Li Chengzhong, appointing Li Chengzhong as the captain of the left team of Jiadu, the left camp of Pingzhou Town Army, with the rank of accompanying Rong Xiaowei.
From the ninth rank, Zhou Zhiyu personally awarded it to Li Chengzhong and said apologetically: "Li Peirong, with your merits, it is possible to be a captain, but now military positions above the captain need to be specially hired by Jiedu Mansion.
, I will wrong you first, and I will make up for it when I have the opportunity in the future."
Li Chengzhong knew the inside story of this transfer to Pingzhou, and of course he would not have any complaints or dissatisfaction. Moreover, he also received a promise from Zhou Zhiyu that he could give priority to his five team leaders, so he happily accepted the job.
This confession.
When selecting his subordinates, he carefully considered it. He only had five officer quotas, that is, five captains. Among the brothers of the original Youdu, Zhang Xingzhong, Zhou Qidao and Jiang Miao were all promoted to captains, and
He was on the same level, so he couldn't choose from these people. In the end, he chose Wang Dalang, Meng Xuxing, Jiao Chengqiao, Zhao Da and Zhong Silang. Wang Dalang was the person who had been following him closely, so of course he was the first choice. Meng Xuxing
He and Jiao Chengqiao were knights outside the Pass, who were good at riding and shooting, and they had long been favored by him. Zhong Silang was the soldier he had taken over by the Yongji Canal. In a responsible attitude, he had to
Tube.
Finally, there is Zhao Da. Zhao Da has always been a hot-headed soldier. Although he was promoted to team leader, no one thinks highly of him. All the team leaders are not very interested in him. In the end, he had to come to Li Chengzhong. Li Chengzhong looked at the pitiful Zhao Da in front of him.
, his heart softened and he simply accepted him. When he heard that Li Chengzhong was willing to accept him, Zhao Da's eyes were red. The thirty-year-old veteran trembled and repeatedly assured Li Chengzhong that he would take good care of him.
The whole team's meals are provided so that the team officers can rest assured and the brothers can eat well.
Li Chengzhong asked: "Zhao Da, don't you want to lead troops to fight?"
Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said: "Captain, I can only cook, but I don't know much about leading troops..."
Li Chengzhong could only sigh helplessly and waved his hand for Zhao Da to leave. Zhao Da immediately became anxious: "Team officer, do you still want something?"
Li Chengzhong patted the back of his head with a headache: "Yes, yes, don't worry, Old Zhao, just cook your food."
Zhao Da did not satisfy Li Chengzhong. He was a little unhappy about the veteran's lack of ambition, but then Jiang Miao gave him a surprise. This man also made great contributions in the Beizhou battle and was promoted at this moment.
As a close comrade-in-arms, I am sending you a sense of loyalty at this moment.
"Li Lang, which of your subordinates do you think is suitable?"
Jiang Miao's question was tantamount to handing over the personnel rights of Jiadu Right Team to Li Chengzhong. Li Chengzhong was a little confused at first: "You are already the team officer, you can choose whoever you think is suitable."
"Li Lang, I listen to you. You have the final say on X's B team." Jiang Miao's naked declaration of allegiance immediately made Li Chengzhong understand. Of course, if someone takes refuge, he cannot be extrapolated, let alone the person who takes refuge is Jiang Miao.
He was not polite and asked Jiang Miao to recruit the Youdu brothers who were under his management on the northward retreat. Jiang Miao nodded and agreed without hesitation. Looking at Jiang Miao's leaving figure, Li
Cheng felt comfortable in the center for a while, secretly thinking, could it be that the bastard spirit of the time traveler showed up?
After the officer frame was set up, the Pingzhou Town Army began to recruit troops. The Governor's Office and the Military Envoy's Office jointly issued notices and posted them everywhere in Pingzhou, Macheng, and Shicheng. The notice stated that all those who applied for the Pingzhou Town Army would be recruited.
You can get a share of military rations and fifty acres of wasteland at the foot of Jieshi Mountain in Yuguan. In just a few days, a steady stream of young and strong refugees came with their families to apply. The family members gathered outside the military camp, looking eagerly.
He hopes that his children can successfully enter the Pingzhou Town Army.
Because there were so many people who came to apply, the recruitment went very smoothly. The soldiers were given priority to replenish the middle camp according to their strength. When the middle camp was full, the first ones to be replenished were the left team and the right team in the capital of the left camp.
Ninety people. This number is based on the allocation of forty-five people per team. In other words, the Pingzhou Town Army allows the officers of each team to eat the free pay of five soldiers. Of course, the treatment of the Pingzhou Town Army is
There is no pay, which means that both Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao can get the rations of five soldiers and 250 acres of nominal wasteland under Jieshi Mountain.
When all the recruited young men gathered in front of the Jiadu Camp, Li Chengzhong was a little disappointed. This group of soldiers... was really bad! Li Chengzhong joined the army when the Lulong Army was at its peak. Even if he only joined the newly established Jianzu Camp,
The companions around me at that time were all truly strong soldiers. Even the relatively thin Jiang Miao was much stronger than the soldiers in front of me. The dozens of people in front of me were weak but they could still be used.
Although there was some food on the face, it was because he was hungry. After eating enough, he believed that he would recover quickly. What disappointed Li Chengzhong was that what he saw in the eyes of these soldiers was humility and cowardice. Soldiers don't have the courage to do so.
Can you still call me a soldier? That's called a lamb!
Li Chengzhong suddenly missed the days of the Southern Expedition. At that time, he was surrounded by his companions who were brave and striving for the lead. The army he was in at that time was a vigorous and elite force.
There are no captains in Jia, there are only two team officers, Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao, but the ten team leaders all know who is the boss, so they all look at Li Chengzhong and wait for Li Chengzhong to lecture. Li Chengzhong recalled the company when he was a soldier in the army.
During the long lecture, his expression and demeanor copied the content of the old company commander's lecture. He danced and gestured for a long time, but only saw the blank eyes of the recruits looking at each other. He understood that his lecture had no effect, and he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, so he
He calmly asked everyone to go back to their dormitories to rest.
Training! Must be trained! Li Chengzhong, who wanted to return to his addiction to "Company Commander" but failed in the end, took a breath, returned to his military tent, and began to think about how to train these bastards. Physical fitness, discipline, and formation all need to be practiced.
!He thought hard about his experience of being tortured by the army, and began to write a training outline behind closed doors.
One night later, this training syllabus full of loopholes was discovered. When Li Chengzhong planned to further modify the gains, he was urgently summoned to the Chinese Army, along with Jiang Miao.
The Chinese Army Yamen Hall is located to the west of the camp, close to the West Campus. There are not many houses in the Yamen Hall, and a row of flat buildings surrounds a small courtyard. The soldiers and horses have another residence, located in Pingzhou City, but it is known that Yu's family members are all there.
At this time, when the army was recruiting in the state, everything was in chaos, so I have been living here.
After Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao followed Zhao Zaili into the main hall, they saw two people sitting in the hall. It was Zhang Zaiji, the governor of Pingzhou, and Zhou Zhiyu, the military envoy. There was also a young Confucian scholar standing behind Zhang Zaiji, who was talking to Zhou Zhiyu.
Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao came in. Zhou Zhiyu pointed at them and asked them to sit down. He said: "Li Peirong, Jiang Peirong, there is an urgent military matter now. Please listen." Zhang Zaiji signaled to the Confucian scholar behind him, and the Confucian scholar reported the matter to Li Chengzhong.
I said it again. It turns out that just two days ago, the Khitan cavalry broke through Yuguan!
Yuguan has always been an important pass on the border of Pingzhou. A long wall divides the inside and outside of the pass into two sides. It can be said that it is related to the stability of Pingzhou. Although it is guarded by dozens of old and weak soldiers left after the Southern Expedition,
But on the one hand, the city wall is strong, and on the other hand, the barbarian cavalry outside the pass are not good at attacking the city. They have always been worried about harassment, but not loss, but I don’t know how it was broken by the Khitan people this time. After breaking through the pass, the Khitan people plundered a lot.
After a while, they withdrew from the customs. This was something that had never happened in the past hundred years.
Since the Tang Dynasty established the Yingzhou Dudufu, outside the pass has always been the pasture for the Tang army to establish its power. The Hu people have always surrendered under the iron heel of the Tang Dynasty and did not dare to make any more mistakes. After the Tianbao Incident, although this place was occupied by a feudal town, although
The governor's office of Yingzhou was gradually abolished, but the control outside the pass was not weakened much. Even after General Liu Rengong ascended to the position of Jiedushi, the military power of the Lulong Army still suppressed the Hu people from having any extravagant hopes of getting involved in the pass.
But everything went wrong during the Southern Expedition...
When the Confucian scholar said this, Zhang Zaiji couldn't help but sigh, and Zhou Zhiyu slapped his palms on the table. After the Confucian scholar finished speaking, Zhou Zhiyu said: "Li Peirong, Jiang Peirong, there is no one guarding Guancheng now.
Cheng Pingzhou is in serious trouble. The Khitans did not know the inside story of Pingzhou, so they hurriedly retreated after looting. Once the wolves invade again, they can target the heart of Pingzhou, which is really a big trouble! I want you two to lead the men first and rob
When I return to Guancheng, do you have any requirements?"
Li Cheng also understood in the center that the Pingzhou Army was still in the recruitment period. Except for the two divisions in the Zhongying, only the two teams in the Zuoying and Jiadu were fully staffed. They were the only ones to take on the role of vanguard.
Li Chengzhong glanced at Jiang Miao and saw Jiang Miao nodding to him, so he simply agreed, asking only to choose good weapons and armor.
Zhou Zhiyu also knew about Li Chengzhong's dilemma. It was really unreasonable for the new recruits to be sent to the border less than two days after entering the camp. Seeing that Li Chengzhong readily agreed, he felt very relieved and ordered Li Chengzhong to inspect the head of Jiadudu.
He is in charge of the two teams. This inspection means temporary, which means that Li Chengzhong is now the temporary captain. But looking at Zhou Zhiyu, the word "inspection" will not be taken away for the time being, that is to say
, as long as Li Chengzhong has meritorious service, Zhou Zhiyu will recommend him to Jiedu Mansion as the head of the capital.
Zhang Zaiji was worried about this and anxiously asked Li Chengzhong to rush to Yuguan, so he naturally cooperated fully. According to Li Chengzhong's request, he ordered people to select twelve leather armors, thirty pairs of swords and shields, and fifty iron spears from the treasury.
The wooden spear with his head, as well as ten bows and dozens of boxes of feathered arrows, were hurriedly delivered to the military quarters in Jiadu. This was already 30% of the remaining military armor in the Pingzhou treasury. There was also a group of fifty young men with them.
A civilian battalion composed of Zhuang escorted ten carriages. The carriages were loaded with a number of military armors and supplies. The leader was the Confucian scholar seen in the Central Army Hall. It seemed that he was urging Li Chengzhong to set off immediately.
.
The Confucian scholar cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Li? I don't dare to ask for my name."
Li Chengzhong told him his name, and also asked the other party's name in return.
The Confucian scholar said: "A certain person's surname is Feng, and his name is Dao. He was appointed as an assistant in Zhang Shijun's mansion. He is called "Ke Dao" by accompanying Rong. I don't know the name of "accompanying Rong"..."
The meaning of assistant is more general. Generally speaking, it is a staff counselor, who is an official who has not entered the mainstream. But Li Chengzhong did not dare to underestimate him. This kind of staff who follows the governor may be because he is young or because he is not well-known.
It is common for them to formally join the job, but it does not mean that they have no right to speak. So they quickly said: "Xian has no words yet."
The Confucian scholar nodded and said nothing else, waiting for Li Chengzhong's order. Li Chengzhong carefully touched the name "Feng Dao" and seemed to have heard of it, but he didn't have much impression, so he didn't think about it for the time being.
Order the left team of Jiadu and the right team to assemble immediately.
