Zhao Cheng suddenly scolded, making Lin Yi kneel down in fright.
"Do you know that these are extremely rebellious words?!"
"Publish the mark to admit guilt!"
Lin Yi hurriedly said, but his heart felt relieved, but he knew that he would not die.
If Zhao Cheng wanted to kill himself, he would not have told him what he said next. He should have killed him on the spot as a warning to others.
"According to military law, this crime should have been beheaded on the spot, but I thought you had the merit of killing the thief before you, and then combined it with the crime. Now is the time to employ people, so I have decided to remove your official position for the time being.
If you can kill five thieves, you will be reinstated!"
"Are you convinced by this decision?!"
Zhao Cheng said.
After hearing this, Lin Yi felt ecstatic in his heart. Temporarily cutting off his official position may seem harsh, but in fact, it is a matter of picking it up high and putting it down gently.
After all, it was a capital crime for him.
Zhao Cheng's reaction was undoubtedly that although he had gone too far, his heart was loyal. More importantly, he had left an impression on the other party, which was exactly what he wanted.
He was not an honest person to begin with. He followed Wang Shouzheng before because he saw that he had a future. Now that he saw Zhao Cheng who had a more promising future, he naturally abandoned his old master without any doubt.
For this kind of person, Zhao Cheng's idea is that he can use his strength and life, and he can be a general, but not a commander.
In terms of quality, although the opponent's talent is not as good as Wang Shouzheng's, he is far more powerful than Wei Ye.
As long as you can ensure that your status is always higher than the other person's, there won't be any problems with this person.
Wang Shouzheng was even more heartbroken when he saw Lin Yi like this. Two days ago, the two of them were as close as brothers, saying that they would never forget each other even if they were rich and noble. But now the other party has directly accepted the new master and treats him as his own.
As if there is nothing left.
"Send the order to the entire army to break camp!"
After dealing with Ji Yi's matter, Zhao Cheng waved his hand and ordered.
…
Among the more than fifty people, there were many wounded soldiers. Fortunately, there were medicines and Taoist techniques. Combining the two, although the march was affected to some extent, there were no injuries that worsened to the point of death.
Of course, Taoism is not omnipotent. It is also because Zhao Cheng has a small number of people and Zhao Cheng is profound in Taoism, so he can take care of both.
Otherwise, when marching in hot and humid places like mountains and forests, minor injuries may turn into serious injuries, or even death.
After that, more than ten days passed in a row, and the climate in the mountains and forests was also ever-changing. Sometimes it was windy and sunny, and sometimes it was windy and rainy. Fortunately, Zhao Cheng could not only look at the wind, but also predict the weather changes, so it was not a problem.
In the process, Zhao Cheng also collected some herbs, mixed them with the most abundant snakes and insects in the mountains and forests, and boiled them to replenish the bodies of his soldiers, which actually made their men's spirits more and more vigorous, and even
Gradually, many soldiers have developed a feeling that their general is omnipotent and has military morale!
More than ten days later, Zhao Cheng's team also grew from fifty people to more than four hundred people.
The mountains and forests were also vast, and the number of Huang Tian's troops who fled into the mountains was definitely more than this. The fifty thousand people fled in a rout. In fact, only a few thousand were directly killed. At least half of the remaining tens of thousands fled into the forests.
This mountain forest is the junction between Qingzhou and Nanhuang. It is impossible to stop them from escaping to Qingzhou. For those who escape into the mountain forest, the harsh environment is the most deadly.
It was a defeated army, and there was a big problem with supplies.
In the past ten days or so, Zhao Cheng encountered many remnants. As time went by, there were more or less problems. Some were poisoned by miasma, and some were injured by insects and snakes. Such a vast mountain forest,
Thousands of people blended into it, making no waves at all.
Zhao Cheng led his men to march in the mountains and forests. In addition to strengthening the team, he also had the idea of training troops.
The more people there are in a team, the harder it is to lead them, and various problems will arise. More people do not necessarily mean greater strength. On the contrary, it is easy to restrict each other and affect the display of strength. Therefore, as the number of people increases, time and time again
Optimizing the organizational structure is a must-do.
Along the way, Zhao Cheng killed more than a dozen of the most unruly thorns in a row. The remaining people who were not very obedient were also dismissed from their original posts and demoted to soldiers to kill their temper. If they polished off well, they would be
If you are promoted again and don't see results for a long time, you will be killed directly.
It was difficult for Zhao Cheng to kill Wang Shouzheng before because he had few people at that time and a bloody battle was approaching, which was when he needed people's hearts.
But now, with nearly five hundred soldiers and horses, facing Huang Tian's remnants of no more than forty people at most, he would naturally take them life and death without any scruples.
He even took Huang Tian's Talisman Order and re-established the system in the name of Taoist Huang Tian, calling himself General Ying Tian and obeying Huang Tian's orders!
With nearly 500 men under his command, he divided them into three banners, with Wei Ye and Lin Yi commanding one banner and one banner, and he himself directly commanded one banner.
Among them, Lin Yi originally wanted to commit meritorious service by killing five thieves, but later Zhao Cheng just asked him to pick up several groups of troops, which was regarded as meritorious service.
The so-called credit can always be given to those in higher positions if they want to.
Among these three flags, all the elites are gathered under his own command. The other two flags are just auxiliary. At the same time, his flag implements the last elimination system, and the extra positions are taken by the elites of the other two flags.
Make up for it, thus creating a gap to stimulate the soldiers to improve.
As for the problem of military rations after the number of people increased, Zhao Cheng used Taoism and medicine to attract snakes, insects and wild beasts, and specially organized people and horses to hunt. In a short period of time, food was not a problem.
With such a large number of men and horses, just when many soldiers thought that Zhao Cheng should go north, Zhao Cheng turned around and pointed directly at Tianlang Village in the mountains and forests.
The night before the troops and horses were dispatched, Zhao Cheng once again summoned the generals. This time, it was different from the more than ten scattered people last time. Various officers were sitting on both sides of the camp. Although their clothes and armor were shabby,
, but sitting neatly and authoritatively, it has its own momentum.
As for Zhao Cheng, he sat at the top position. Although his body was not tall and even looked thin, his invisible demeanor overwhelmed everyone.
There were even a few soldiers who were lucky enough to see Taoist Huang Tian, and they couldn't help but have the misconception that it was Taoist Huang Tian who was sitting there.
It was still the place closest to Zhao Cheng. It was only more than ten days before and after. Wei Ye went to see the field and Zhao Cheng again, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
He vaguely remembered that more than ten days ago, he and others were hunted down and there was no place to escape, no place in the sky or on the earth to escape.
But I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I would have achieved such an achievement.
Although this big tent was barely put together, its momentum is no better than those gorgeous big tents, and it is even more powerful.
The former Taoist priest was now even more unfathomable, making him, a personal soldier who had always followed Zhao Cheng, feel a little afraid of him.
You must know that in the past, the Taoist, although in name, the Taoist was the leader and he was the subordinate, the relationship between the two was very close, and they could be said to speak freely. But now, he does not dare to speak casually.
