Qinzhou is so big, of course it has an army.
Not to mention the garrison fighting against Xirong, the garrison in the capital alone numbered 30,000.
These 30,000 people were stationed in the camp outside Qinzhou City, with three generals commanding 10,000 troops each.
The first one is named Shen Ping. He is in his thirties, has a short beard, and has a rough appearance. He is one of Guo Qian's closest associates and was promoted by him.
The second person, named He Gui, is also in his thirties. He has no ability. He is able to sit in his current position because of his flattery and spending a lot of money to buy gifts. It can be said that he is a complete and utter person. wine bag and rice bag.
The third one, named Su Yi, is about twenty-five or six, has fair face and beardless appearance, and is a general. He does not belong to any faction in Qinzhou. His ability to remain in this position is also related to his own ability.
As the prefect of Qinzhou, Xiao Yuan is equivalent to the top military and political leader. If he wants to rule here, military power is obviously crucial, otherwise, his next actions will be difficult.
Therefore, he ostensibly confused Guo Qian and others. While attending the banquet, he also quietly ordered Ye Cheng to take his order and go to the Qinzhou camp.
At present, Ye Cheng has informed He Gui and Su Yi that the last person they saw was Shen Ping.
In the military tent, Shen Ping was still drinking. He didn't have a good look at Ye Cheng's arrival. Instead, he tore off a chicken leg and glanced at Ye Cheng from the corner of his eye: "I heard that you are the prefect. Sent, what’s the matter?”
Ye Cheng got straight to the point and said: "Tomorrow at midnight, we will order troops in the school field. General, please be ready."
"What?" Shen Ping sneered and said, "You, a little officer, dare to order this general?"
"No, of course I don't dare. This is the order of the prefect." Ye Cheng said.
"Hmph!" After hearing what he said, Shen Ping threw the chicken legs back on the table with a straight face, and said angrily: "I know."
"In addition, the prefect said that this is a military order." After Ye Cheng finished speaking, he also clasped his fists and said, "Farewell."
He came and left quickly. After he left, Shen Ping took a sip of wine and curled his lips and said, "What the hell!"
"General." At this time, his subordinates came up and asked tentatively: "Since the prefect has an order, shall we go tomorrow?"
"Where are you going!" Shen Ping glared at him and sneered: "Who do you think you are! I'm not going! Also, tell He Gui and Su Yi that they won't go either, and give the new prefect a warning first!"
"Understood." His subordinates nodded and immediately informed the other two generals.
The next day, Qinzhou camp.
Not long after Su Yi got up, He Gui came over in a hurry.
When the two met, Su Yi adjusted his armor, raised his head and asked, "General He, what are you doing so early?"
"General Su." He Gui first clasped his fists, and then asked anxiously: "Yesterday, the Grand Administrator sent an order to order troops at the school grounds today, but General Shen..."
"You want to say that Shen Ping asked me and I not to go, right?" Su Yi interrupted him.
"Yes, I wonder what General Su's plan is." He Gui asked directly.
Su Yi's appearance was very handsome, perhaps because of old injuries. He put his fist under his mouth and coughed, and then said:
"That's a fool. Now that the new governor is in charge, it's his first time to order troops. Do you want to go or not?"
As he said that, he glanced at He Gui again and said with a smile: "Chenshi is coming soon. If General He doesn't want to stretch his neck to the knife edge, he'd better get ready quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to He Gui, but shouted loudly: "Guard!"
"Here!" The guard outside the tent walked in immediately.
"Send orders to our troops to assemble immediately!"
"yes!"
Seeing that he was already making preparations, He Gui immediately turned around and left after his thoughts changed.
When the hour came, the war drums were beating in the military camp, soldiers from all departments began to gather, and the sound of infantry steps filled the whole place.
Shen Ping's department.
He had a hangover last night and was still snoring and sleeping soundly until now.
He was still holding an empty wine jar in his arms. At this time, a soldier hurried in, shook Shen Ping repeatedly and said: "General, general, the prefect ordered the troops to assemble at the school ground!"
"Don't fucking bother me, what a soldier! Just say I'm drunk! I won't go!"
Shen Ping waved his hand, muttered something, then turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
"Ouch!" When the soldier saw this, he shouted several times anxiously, but was pushed away by Shen Ping again.
At this time, there was not much time before the military order, and the soldiers did not dare to stay any longer and ran out quickly.
On the general stage, Xiao Yuan was dressed in the official uniform of a prefect, with a sword hanging on his waist.
Not long after, the army had gathered, and the school grounds were crowded with people, overwhelmingly filled with soldiers.
Judging from the military appearance, the combat power of this army cannot be estimated for the time being, but their armaments are too shabby. Except for the generals who have armor, the ordinary soldiers are basically cloth armor and rags.
Xiao Yuan understood that this had something to do with the officials above Qinzhou, and it was meaningless to hold the army accountable, so he did not say anything on the matter. Expanding armaments would be a matter later.
After glancing at the soldiers below, he said in a loud voice:
"Today, I have a new officer, and I am calling the troops at the school. I issued a military order yesterday. All officers and soldiers must be present. Anyone who is missing will be deemed to have fled the battle and will be punished according to military law!"
After saying that, he said directly: "Now let's start the troops, the first formation of the infantry, Shen Ping!"
No one answered, Xiao Yuan subconsciously looked around and shouted again: "General Shen!"
Still no one spoke, and all the soldiers began to look left and right.
Su Yi and He Gui, who were at the front, couldn't help but look at each other.
"Shen Ping!"
Xiao Yuan shouted again, this was the first general to be ordered, but he was absent. His voice was already very cold.
Still no one answered.
At this time, a young general also bravely stood up. He first looked at Xiao Yuan cautiously, then clasped his fists and said:
"Sir, General Shen... General Shen, he said he was drunk..."
"What did you say!?"
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he was furious. He immediately pointed at Peng Shuang and shouted sternly: "Bring him here to me!"
"No!" Peng Shuang responded, then pointed out two soldiers and walked away quickly.
The school grounds began to become quiet.
After a while, a cursing voice came from not far away:
"Let me go! What do you want to do!?"
That was Shen Ping's voice. He was being escorted by two soldiers to the school grounds. Judging from the scars on his face, he should have been beaten by Peng Shuang just now.
"Sir, we've arrived."
After arriving at the general stage, Peng Shuang clasped his fists towards Xiao Yuan and stood aside.
