At dawn, Guo Xin woke up from his sleep.
When he opened his eyes, Yu Niang was nestling in his arms, her head resting on the hollow of his arm, and her warm breath was blowing gently on Guo Xin's neck with her breathing.
Guo Xin tried his best to pull out his arm with slight movements, but when he stood up, he found that his entire left hand was completely numb. He had no choice but to use one hand to tuck the quilt into the spring scenery before getting up to pack up and go out.
Guo Xin had nothing else to do when he got up so early. He wanted to go to the military center.
In the past few days, a new group of soldiers have arrived in the Fengguo Army's camp. Although they are said to be newcomers, in fact, most of them are broken up from the imperial army of the previous dynasty. Some of the veterans are probably as old as Guo Wei.
The combat effectiveness of the army depends on many aspects, and the quality of the soldiers themselves is naturally an important part of it. Fortunately, Guo Xin's search for Zan Jurun was not in vain, and the people who filled Fengguo's left wing were indeed young and strong soldiers.
The reorganization of the army lasted for three days before it was completed. The left wing of the Fengguo Army soon expanded from the original more than 2,000 people in the First Army to nearly 10,000 people in the Fourth Army. Nearly five months after Guo Xin took the command, he finally had a complete command staff.
…
When Guo Xin entered the meeting hall in the left wing of Fengguo, it was already full and filled with many people. In addition to the generals Guo Xin knew before, there were also many new faces among them - the commanders and commanders of the other three armies newly formed in the left wing.
After reorganization, the number of people in Fengguo's left wing expanded fourfold, and the demand for generals at all levels also increased sharply. In addition to the promotion of some senior generals in the army, the Forbidden Army generals who originally belonged to the Jin Dynasty were also retained in order to prevent the generals from being ignorant and causing their combat effectiveness to drop too much. But in general, the important positions were still held by the direct generals of the new dynasty who were born in Hedong.
Seeing Guo Xin come in, some generals who didn't know him looked slightly puzzled, but someone around them quickly explained quietly, and the doubts turned into complicated looks mixed with envy and contempt.
Guo Xin has long been accustomed to unfamiliar people looking at him like this. A commander who has just turned twenty is not very common in the army after all.
He stood next to Wang Jin. Wang Jin was not only the commander of the first army in the Zuoxiang, but also recently promoted to the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Zuoxiang of Fengguo. He seemed to be second only to Xie Hui, the commander of the Zuoxiang. Number two.
"The Royal Envoy has been looking good recently." Guo Xin casually chatted with Wang Jin, but regretted it after he finished speaking. Wang Jin still had confusion on his face, and it was obvious that he hadn't fully woken up yet.
Wang Jin turned around, blinked, and seemed to recognize it was Guo Xin. Then he raised his hand slightly as a greeting: "Guo Lang is here."
The two of them had just exchanged a few words when Xie Hui walked out from the back of the hall. Xie Hui always enters the venue at the end, and Guo Xin is already used to this.
"Everyone, please wait! Today is the first time that everyone in the left wing has met, but I will have the opportunity to let you get to know each other later. I will say one thing right now. In the name of the Privy Council, the armies in the left wing have been reorganized. Everyone, please order. After Mao, they went back to pick up some troops and rectify the troops..."
Anyone can see that Xie Hui is very proud. After all, as the commander-in-chief of the First Army, one of the main forces of the Forbidden Army, his status in the army is much higher than before.
After Xie Hui finished speaking, the generals quickly dispersed.
Guo Xin also returned to his own command. He is still affiliated with Wang Jin's First Army, and the organization at this level of command is simple and there are not many officials. Zhang Chenghua is still his second deputy commander. In addition, Guo Pu leads one of the capitals to serve as his personal soldiers. The remaining four capitals are also full. At this time, Wang Yuanmao is bringing the other three newly appointed captains to come over. He was greeted.
Guo Xin did not dismount, but sat on his horse and looked at his subordinates who had just lined up. The five hundred people were either too many or too few, and the soldiers had begun to take on some momentum when setting up their array. This was the first time for Guo Xin to review his subordinates on horseback, and he felt that there was something different about him that made him feel comfortable.
Many of the soldiers inside were familiar to him. After all, he had been getting along with him in the army for several months. He considered himself not the kind of arrogant and isolated officer, and was very willing to deal with the people below...
"Why is our commander such a brat..." Suddenly an inappropriate voice came from the crowd.
Guo Xin stopped his horse and before he could open his mouth, Wang Yuanmao scolded him: "Which bastard is talking too much!"
A space quickly opened up in the crowd, and the soldiers behind him immediately went up and pulled the man out.
The soldier couldn't argue, and now he realized the seriousness of the situation. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy without hesitation: "This villain is blind and has two eyes. I beg the commander to spare me!"
Guo Xin frowned when he saw this. He originally thought that it would be fine if he was really a tough man, but now he saw that this military man was so "aware of current affairs" and he felt disgusted with him. I am still young, if I tolerate and tolerate him at this time, I will have no prestige in the army in the future. How can I control the arrogant and powerful generals at this time?
Although he often laments the suffering of the world at this time, this does not mean that he has to compromise with irrelevant people at the expense of his own interests. What's more, Guo Wei had told him some of the principles of running an army a long time ago... It was not an empty statement at this time to be kind and not to lead the army.
While they were thinking about it, the two soldiers accidentally let go of the soldier and let him crawl to Guo Xinma on his hands and knees: "The villain has an old mother at home, and he relies on the villain to live alone..."
Guo Xin didn't even look at him. Instead, he faced the crowd in front of him and said loudly: "I am the commander personally appointed by the official family. What do you think?"
"This villain has a mean mouth. I will tear this mouth apart for the commander." As he said this, he actually started to tear his own mouth apart.
Guo Xin still ignored him and turned around to ask Zhang Chenghua: "Does Deputy Zhang know that someone in the army has spoken rudely to Shangfeng? How should he deal with it?"
Zhang Chenghua glanced at the soldiers on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "The following offenders should be reported to the Privy Council and sent to the Division of Guards for punishment."
Guo Xin nodded, leaned towards the soldier who was still begging for mercy on the ground, and said in a voice that could be heard by all the troops: "My father is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council Guo, the chief officer of the Guards Department, and the commander of the Ma Bu Army, Shi Hongzhao, is also related to me. Jiu, I wonder which of these two companies can save your life?"
Those soldiers in the army who didn't know him well could not help but whisper after hearing this. It turned out that the commander of his home army had such a powerful background!
Seeing that his deliberate words had an effect, Guo Xin nodded with satisfaction immediately, but suddenly he smelled a filthy smell. He looked down and saw that the soldier under the horse was shivering like a sieve, and his crotch was already wet.
Guo Xin became even more contemptuous and snorted coldly: "For the sake of your old mother, I'll spare your life for now. Take me to have a meal and send you away."
The soldier's mouth had been torn open with two bloody holes. He was whimpering and unable to speak, but he was still begging for mercy.
Guo Xin waved his hand: "Drag him down!"
The two soldiers quickly fought away one of the generals, and soon a shrill scream could be heard in the distance, leaving only silence in the crowd.
