But if Tang Ao stepped forward to salute, it would be inferior to others. If this was the case, how could he be so tough during the next peace talks?
Not seeing is the best solution. No matter how big your display is, I will just pretend that I didn't see you. What else can you do? Can you still pull me and pull my eyes to force me to see the guard of honor?
This was what Tong Gu had in mind. He also understood Emperor Qian Ying's intention of making such an arrangement. He was asking Tang Ao, are you still a minister of Da Gan?
This is also a test. As long as Tang Ao sees the guard of honor, he has to make a choice. Failure to salute is disloyal, and saluting will lose the confidence for peace talks. At this time, Tong Gu will make some concessions again and again. Things will naturally be easier to handle.
With this thought in his mind, Tong Gu sat in the carriage and waited to see Tang Ao's decision.
Oh, by the way, Tong Gu was not sitting in one of the six emperor's carriages, but in a carriage behind him. He didn't dare to really disobey the rules and sit in the emperor's carriage. In that case, someone would definitely impeach him. , even if this matter is completed, there will be no good fruits from him after returning.
Although he was sitting in the carriage at the back, Tong Gu was still looking forward to seeing King Ji's behavior. Should he salute or not?
But in the end, there was no answer to this embarrassing topic. Tang Ao did not come out to greet him at all, citing his busy business as an excuse.
Naturally, Tong Gu didn't believe this result. What could be greater than welcoming the emperor's honor guard?
This should be an excuse, just because I don't want to deal with the emperor's honor guard.
And this guess was soon confirmed. When he saw Tang Ao in the main tent, there was no trace of busy business on his face. His face was rosy and looked more like a healthy person, and he didn't do anything. The paperwork is in front of you.
This made Tong Gu a little angry, and he even wanted to ask the other party why he didn't pick up the Emperor's car, but when he noticed that there were burly and murderous men standing around, he still didn't say these words. exit.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that this time the Xuanjia Army lost the battle, and he has no right to blame King Ji. Don't make the other party unhappy, and go back to punish yourself, then it will really be more than the gain is worth the loss. .
When Tong Gu first arrived, Tang Ao just greeted each other as a courtesy. At the banquet, everyone agreed not to talk about business, but just drank and reminisced. Fortunately, Tang Ao had lived in Daliang City for more than ten years, and everyone still had a good relationship. A lot of common language.
Just when King Ji was serving wine in the big tent to welcome guests, behind the army, in the camp of the Fourth Brigade of the Field Army, in the brigade commander's main tent, Lei Ming was having a drink with a young man, and Chief of Staff Liu Chen Staying by the side.
It is said that a guest who can be welcomed by the commander of a brigade and the chief of staff must have a high status. In fact, this is not the case. Not only is this guest not distinguished, but he is also extremely ordinary. He was even an unknown person not long ago. There are ordinary people, and there are also enemies of the Jizhou Army.
He is He Yuan.
Speaking of He Yuan, he really showed off his face this time. Even Tang Ao, the King of Ji, took the initiative to come over and ask his name. It can be said that Jian is in the emperor's heart.
There was something big to do, and He Yuan was injured and needed medical treatment, so he couldn't follow the cavalry. Otherwise, this person might have appeared in Tang Ao's royal tent long ago and would be entrusted. to be reused.
Such a person who is destined to have a future has become the target that many people want to fight for. After all, they can not believe in their own eyes, but they can't help but believe in the king's eyes, right?
Just when everyone was thinking about getting close to him, or even trying to win him into their own camp, compared to these people who only had some ideas, Lei Ming took action directly, not only inviting Lei Ming to his main account
, and together with Chief of Staff Liu Chenyi, Li Hong was also transferred to their fourth brigade.
The number of female soldiers in the Jizhou Army is so small that only units at the regiment level and above will have female health workers. There are only a few. And there are quotas at the brigade level. But in order to transfer Li Hong
It still took a lot of effort to get here. In order to get the original unit to release him, Chief of Staff Liu Chen said a lot of good things and paid a lot of money.
But all of this is worth it in Lei Ming's eyes.
Not for anything else, but because of what Tang Ao once said, a brigade is just a relatively basic unit, not the ultimate. Just like why there is only one brigade, but it insists on being called the first field army to the third.
Where are the four field armies?
Why not merge them together and form the 1st Field Division?
Speaking of which, Tang Ao gave them a basic structure and a direction in which they could develop.
According to Tang Ao, he can provide soldiers for a brigade, but if he wants to change the brigade into a division, then he doesn't know how long it will take to allocate the relevant personnel. If some people think it is too slow, they want to
If you become a division commander or even an army commander in advance, will you have to wait for the allocation of troops from above?
Of course not, Tang Ao also thought of a way for them, that is, self-development. For example, there are only 30,000 people in a brigade, but in fact it is not far from the division level. According to the normal configuration, a brigade is
Three regiments, one regiment has 5,000 men, and one brigade has 15,000 men; three brigades form one division, and one division has 45,000 men.
And as long as which brigade can be the first to reach 45,000 people, and is proven to have sufficient combat effectiveness, and after passing the assessment of superiors, then this brigade can directly become a division.
In other words, if done well, the Fourth Field Brigade can become the Fourth Field Division.
This is the pie that Tang Ao drew for the generals below. You can’t blame the reserves for everything. They recruit soldiers every year and actively train them. But as the saying goes, there are more wolves and less meat. The trained soldiers are really divided into various categories.
After the unit, there are actually not many people left.
When he first heard about this plan, Lei Ming was a little excited and felt that something was going on.
Speaking of which, his nature is not the kind of person who likes to be top-notch, but his identity forced him to make some changes.
Compared with other people, who are either graduates of Longyuan or old people who follow Ji Wang Tang Ao, a captive general like him is obviously inferior. If he doesn't work hard and can't show his value, then
He has no shame in continuing to serve as acting brigade commander.
Originally, Lei Ming wanted to perform well in the battle to defend Pingcheng. In fact, although his fourth brigade was the last infantry to leave the city, its advance was not slow. It had already surpassed the second and third brigade, but the problem was that the opponent failed to hit it.
Use it!
When Lei Ming finally broke out with the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade, all he could do was not fight with the enemy on the battlefield and make achievements. Instead, he only had to clean the battlefield. He could use it early in the morning to catch up. To describe it as a night market, the mood would be extremely depressing.
Fortunately, we finally got some useful clues, and the He Yuan in front of us was the most important one.
Lei Ming also had a bold idea, that is, to use this He Yuan for his own use and join the Fourth Brigade. Not only that, but also rely on this person's understanding of the Ganren people's army to call on more people to join To the fourth brigade, as long as they can recruit 15,000 troops, their fourth brigade can become a division and become the first unit to expand by its own ability. This is also a great achievement.
After having the idea, Lei Ming approached Chief of Staff Liu Chen for discussion. He still respected this Chief of Staff very much. Otherwise, he was an old man in the Jizhou Army. In the Jiwang Tang Ao, he was just a member of Jizhou. He served in the Jizhou army during his reign.
In terms of qualifications, I don't know how much better than myself. Once something gets his support, it will become twice the result with half the effort.
What Lei Ming suggested was a good suggestion, so how could Liu Chen not support it?
In this way, Liu Chen went to run Li Hong's affairs, and Lei Ming sent someone to invite He Yuan. Now the three of them were sitting together. With the two brigade-level cadres deliberately making friends, the atmosphere was quite good. It could be said that We had a great time talking.
After three drinks and five dishes, He Yuan was almost done drinking and the atmosphere was good. Lei Ming winked at Liu Chen, and the chief of staff walked out of the main tent, leaving the two of them alone. Lei Ming directly initiated the invitation, hoping that He Yuan could join the big family of the Fourth Brigade of the Field Army. For this reason, he could directly give him the official title of battalion commander.
The battalion commander is already the best that Lei Ming, the acting brigade commander, and Liu Chen, the acting chief of staff, can do. If you want to become a cadre at the regimental commander level, you must report it and get the personal nod and approval of the staff headquarters and Ji Wang Tang Ao. That's all.
Once the operation is started, it will definitely take time. If the news leaks out and is known to several other field army brigade commanders, someone will come to snatch people. In this regard, Lei Ming and the others have no advantage at all.
Who made them the fourth field army and ranked last?
In this way, the position of a battalion commander is different. There will be a lot less trouble in the procedure, and they can appoint it themselves. Once He Yuan accepts this position, it means that he is already a member of the Fourth Army, and no one else can think of it. To rob people, one would have to give the order personally from the General Staff Headquarters or even from Ji Wang Tang Ao.
He Yuan didn't know what Lei Ming and the others were planning. He was a little confused when the other party asked him to come. But now when he heard that he could be appointed as a battalion commander, he suddenly became excited.
A battalion commander directly oversees a thousand people. According to the military system of Daqian, he is equivalent to a commander of thousands. For He Yuan, who was just an ordinary citizen before and was not even a soldier, this is definitely It was raised, even raised a lot all at once.
