Zhu Meng couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to ask so straightforwardly.
We brought out 30,000 warriors from the Southern Barbarians, but now less than half of them have died. How can we not complain?
But Zhu Meng really didn’t!
He has received news from Nanzhong that he has given very generous treatment to the barbarians who died in the battle.
This kind of treatment is so high that many living barbarians are jealous and want to sacrifice themselves for Liu Zhang!
"The barbarians deeply feel the kindness of Duke Qin and are willing to die for Duke Qin!"
Zhu Meng didn't know how to speak the refined Chinese language, and he only knew four words in his heart.
Willingly!
It has been almost seven years since the barbarians surrendered, and the tribesmen no longer have to hide in the mountains all day long.
With the protection of the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, even if the barbarians don't know how to farm, they can still rely on their own abilities to exchange for all supplies!
Due to the strict orders of the state pastoral government, the barbarians lived in the city without any discrimination.
At present, the Han and Barbarian tribes get along extremely harmoniously.
It can be said that without Liu Zhang, there would be absolutely no barbarians today.
"Okay, Zhu Meng, I will grant you the title of Yiman Zhonglang General."
"I order you to return to Nanzhong and expand the barbarian camp to 30,000 troops again. After the recruitment is completed, lead the 30,000 barbarian troops to Yufu for training."
"The Barbarian Camp belongs to the battle order of the Eastern Army and is subject to the orders of the former general and military advisor Zhonglang."
Zhu Meng directly accepted the military order without any objection.
After hearing that the barbarians had also joined the Eastern Army, everyone became even more unable to calm down.
After adding the barbarians, the entire Eastern Army's strength has reached 130,000!
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Liu Zhang felt a little proud.
Just wait, this is just the beginning!
"General Zuo Tai Shi Ci."
"Pingbei General Ma Chao."
"Pingnan General Pound."
"General Lingbao."
"Jianzhong Colonel Lei Tong."
The five people whose names were called by Liu Zhang quickly came out of the queue and all walked to the center of the hall.
"I'm here!"
"The general is here!"
This time Liu Zhang did not foreshadow the appointment and directly announced the appointment.
"The Northern Army expanded to 50,000 men and was led by left general Tai Shici. Wu Feng Camp and Liangzhou Jingqi were all merged into the Northern Army."
"Take orders!"
Liu Zhang looked at the faces of Tai Shici, Ma Chao and others, and he was full of hope for the future of the Northern Army.
"All the Northern Army are cavalry. General Zuo will make the Northern Army into sharp spears to pierce through all stubborn enemies!"
Taishi Ci prostrated himself on the ground and took it with all his heart.
"I will live up to Duke Qin's high expectations!"
Liu Zhang did not make specific plans for the Northern Army and left more details to Tai Shici himself.
With many years of experience in running Wu Feng Camp, Liu Zhang had full confidence in Tai Shi Ci.
Perhaps only Taishi Ci's body worried Liu Zhang the most.
If we calculate Taishi Ci's lifespan based on history. That means there are only four years left.
It may be that in four years, the Qin army has not yet reached the conditions for an expedition.
Liu Zhang asked Taishi Ci many times if he felt unwell, and asked famous doctors to check Taishi Ci's health many times.
The results were all very good, and no hidden disease in Taishi Ci was found.
Liu Zhang could only attribute everything to the fact that Taishi Ci was not adapted to the Jiangnan climate in history, or was injured on the battlefield.
Liu Zhang could not decide on matters such as lifespan. He could only hope that Taishi Ci would continue on such a smooth road for a while longer.
Seeing Liu Zhang's eyes blank, the civil and military officials thought they were considering the candidate for the Northern Army's military adviser, so they couldn't help but whisper.
It was this noise that brought Liu Zhang's thoughts back.
"The military advisor, General Fa Zheng, is listening to your orders."
It turned out to be Fa Zheng!
Not only everyone was shocked, but Fazheng himself was also confused.
I thought that with Pang Tong's precedent as the Eastern Army's military advisor, the Northern Army's military advisor would also be one of the five military advisors.
"Wei Chen is here!"
Fazheng quickly suppressed the surprise and doubt in his heart and handed over his hands to obey Liu Zhang's instructions.
"Xiaozhi, I have ordered you to serve as the Northern Army's military advisor. Are you qualified for the job?"
It turned out to be the Northern Army's military advisor!
Even though I had some guesses in my mind, I still couldn't help but be shocked when I actually heard about the appointment.
Fa Zheng's surrender is somewhat unspeakable, as he is a defeated person.
At first, he planned to trap Liu Zhang, but not only was his trick discovered, but he was also captured alive by Liu Zhang.
Since his surrender, Fazheng has not performed too impressively.
Of course, this is compared to the military divisions of the five parties.
Especially compared with Pang Tong, who is still three years younger than him, the gap is even bigger.
However, Liu Zhang has always had high hopes for Fazheng, especially this time he asked him to succeed Xun You as military advisor general.
Just when everyone thought that the military advisor of the Northern Army was the end of Liu Zhang's preference for Fa Zheng, Liu Zhang used his actions to show that the Northern Army's military advisor was the endpoint!
What an honor this is to be the military advisor of an army of 50,000 people?
At this moment, Fazheng clenched his fists, still in shock.
He did not question his ability, but it was too difficult to stand out among the five of them, Jia Xu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Lu Su, and Pang Tong.
Each of these five people is not an ordinary person, and they are the existence that can surpass the elites in troubled times.
When Pang Tong offered the Ziwu Valley plot, Fazheng had actually thought about it, but he didn't dare to bring it up.
How could he put the army in danger by joining as a defeated person?
It was precisely because of not daring, being afraid, and striving to be safe again and again that Fazheng gradually lost himself.
Fazheng was very afraid, he was afraid of failure, and he was afraid that his mistakes would put the army in danger.
He was even more afraid of betraying Liu Zhang's trust because of a mistake.
Is it competent?
Of course Fazheng can say Neng, he can even say Neng without hesitation.
But after agreeing, you will inevitably endure countless rumors.
Let's not talk about how the world will talk about him. Can Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Pang De and others convince him?
Liu Zhang would only give him the position of general and division, but would not mediate conflicts for him. Everything had to be done by himself.
"Xiao Nao, don't you dare?"
Hearing Liu Zhang's questioning, Fazheng couldn't help but trembled.
If even he himself doubted himself, how could he deserve Liu Zhang's trust?
"Why don't you dare? Wei Chen takes the order!"
Fazheng's eyes were firm. From this moment on, he knew he had to find himself.
Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction. He never felt that ability was related to age.
Pang Tong is the best proof. He is only twenty-two years old and still full of ingenuity.
In Liu Zhang's heart, Fazheng's wisdom and strategy are definitely not weaker than Pang Tong!
Today's Fazheng has not experienced years of precipitation, nor is it depressed because it is not reused.
Instead, he has been obsessed with the identity of the defeated and has become cautious.
Liu Zhang could not help the Fa rectify anything. This was the shackles deep in his heart.
If Fazheng can come out on his own, he will still be a scheming talent that makes the world tremble.
The current military division of the Northern Army is an opportunity.
Because Liu Zhang got a piece of news not long ago.
A piece of news that would allow Fa Zheng to break through his shackles.
