After arriving at the military camp in the north of the city, Wang Fugui discussed with the eldest prince and took out 200 people from their guards to escort half of the silver, grain, grass and prisoners back to the capital. As for the imperial army, they must not be moved, that was left to the Zhenbei Marquis. In the army, no one can be missing.
The county soldiers in Wuwei County were once Pound's subordinates and could not be used. Who knows whether these people would do anything to save people halfway.
We can only let them be escorted to Xilan, the Longchuan Governor's Mansion, and then ask the Governor to send more manpower to escort them back to Beijing.
As soon as the arrangements were made, a man from the city rushed over on a white horse.
Zhao Long was wearing bright armor, holding a silver spear in his hand, riding a white horse, and wearing a white cloak, looking heroic.
Dressed in bright clothes, angry horses, silver spears and bright armor, the heroic Zhao Long attracted the attention of many people.
Many forbidden soldiers had seen Zhao Long yesterday, but they didn't know that he was also a soldier. After all, Zhao Long was wearing casual clothes.
I just found out when I saw him today. Judging from the armor, he should be a commander.
The soldiers looked at him curiously, and the twenty commanders of the 20,000-strong army gathered together at this time. After seeing Zhao Long dressed in this way, they all frowned with disdain on their faces.
Wearing something so bright and white, you are so arrogant. When you go to the battlefield, you will be the target of the enemy's concentrated fire attack. You don't know how you will die when the time comes.
Most generals and soldiers wear green armor and black armor. Usually, those who dare to wear such bright colors on the battlefield are either extremely brave men with unmatched courage, or they are stupid green men who have never been on the battlefield. Dress up and die soon.
Obviously, in their hearts, Zhao Long is the latter.
"I will pay my respects to your two highnesses. I will also pay my respects to Mr. Chai and the princess. I will say goodbye to my family. I have delayed my time. I hope you will forgive me."
Zhao Long dismounted and saluted.
"Well, it'll be fine if everything comes back."
Wang Fugui nodded.
Zhao Long was about to lead his horse into the team when suddenly the eldest prince asked,
"Zhao Long, what level of martial arts is yours?"
Zhao Long didn't know why and answered honestly,
"Reporting to your highness, I am fifth grade."
"Fifth rank, you can be a general and a vanguard officer in the Forbidden Army, but here you can only be a commander."
The eldest prince laughed dumbly.
In the army, most of them are ordinary people with no rank. The elite army is almost all at the ninth level. If you are at the eighth level, you can be a squad leader no matter what.
When you reach the seventh rank, you are basically a leader and can manage a hundred people. At the sixth rank, you are a leader and can manage a thousand people.
Zhao Long is the commander, and the twenty captains of the 20,000-strong army are all sixth-grade strong men.
It can be said that high-ranking officials are well-paid and have no worries about food and clothing.
When you reach the fifth level, there are very few of them. They are almost all vanguard officers and generals, the kind who lead thousands or tens of thousands of people to charge.
Fourth-grade people are rare. In the army, they are treated as guests. They serve them with delicious food and drink on weekdays. They are only used in tough battles. A strong fourth-grade person can change the situation of the battle if he uses them well.
As for the third grade, they are not equipped into the army, they are all enshrined by the royal family.
Zhao Long is at the fifth level, plus he is familiar with military books and talented. If he joins the Forbidden Army, he can at least be a vanguard officer or a general.
The eldest prince thought for a while and said,
"I heard from the Sixth Prince that you are quite talented and have great insights into commanding troops to fight. I don't know if it is true or not, but I am willing to give you a chance."
He pointed to the twenty commanders and said,
"Their generals stayed in the capital, and I only brought the commander over. Originally, I wanted the Marquis of Zhenbei to appoint the general and commander himself.
Now that you are here, I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the 20,000-strong army and let you lead them.
From here to entering Yumen Pass, you are the commander-in-chief. As for how you perform and whether you can prove yourself to Zhenbei Hou, it all depends on your own ability.
Do you dare to accept this appointment? "
As soon as the eldest prince said this, everyone in the audience was shocked. Zhao Long and the twenty commanders in the distance all widened their eyes.
The difference was that Zhao Long's eyes were filled with surprise, while the twenty people's eyes were filled with shock and doubt. m.
Wang Fugui was surprised at first, and then laughed. This eldest brother is very courageous. He handed over the military power of 20,000 troops as soon as he said it would be handed over.
Zhao Long was at a loss for a while, but he also realized that this was an opportunity, an excellent opportunity. He had been waiting for this day for too long. It has always been his dream to lead the army to fight.
"Thanks to the eldest prince's love, I am deeply grateful. I am willing to take over the military power and will never let you down!"
Zhao Long clasped his hands and bowed.
"good."
The eldest prince took out the Tiger Talisman, handed it to Zhao Long's hand, and said sincerely,
"You and them are both the same commander, and you are an outsider. Now you have suddenly become their immediate boss. They will definitely be dissatisfied.
This is human nature. They are all ruffians and ruffians in the army and do not know how to flatter civilian officials. You need to use your true talents and knowledge and your ability to command troops to convince them. "
"You will finally understand."
Zhao Long picked up the tiger talisman with his left hand, picked up his spear with his right hand, and walked towards the twenty commanders.
Wang Fugui looked at his back and said with a smile,
"This is a difficult task. The imperial army is the central army. It has always looked down on the county soldiers and local armies, saying that they are very arrogant and arrogant as local soldiers.
They already looked down on Zhao Long, who was a county soldier. Now he became their commander-in-chief, which was very difficult.
Brother, tell me, how will Zhao Long convince them? "
The eldest prince smiled and said,
"It's simple, just lead them to win a few battles. Why is Marshal Yue so loved? Not because he loves his soldiers like a son, not because of his martial arts skills, but because he can lead his soldiers to win battles and lead them from the battlefield. He survived, so he is loved.”
The two of them, plus Chai Yuan and Nian An, looked at him playfully, waiting to see Zhao Long's performance.
I saw Zhao Long walking up to the twenty commanders and standing solemnly.
Among the twenty people, some had solemn expressions, some were disdainful and careless, and some were glaring angrily and eagerly, ready to give Zhao Long a look.
Zhao Long picked up the tiger talisman, showed it to them, and then said loudly,
"I believe you have also seen that His Highness handed over the Tiger Talisman to me, which means that from now on, all 20,000 of you will be at my disposal.
I also know that I am a county soldier and you are the imperial army. You look down on me and you will not obey me.
Therefore, if any of you disobey me, you can stand up now and tell me loudly. Don't wait until there is a real war and then disobey orders and kill the entire army! "
"I don't obey you!"
"I don't accept it either!"
"I don't accept it!"
"Why should you be the commander-in-chief? You are just a soldier!"
…
Soon, more than half of the commanders stood up and said they were not convinced.
Since Zhao Long has told people to stand up, they will definitely not miss this opportunity.
We want to see if you have the ability to lead an army in a war.
Zhao Long looked at them and nodded, silently, and then...
A shot swept out.
Zhao Long, want to teach them the first lesson!
Some people died, but not completely...
