General Qin.

Chapter 171
Wang Ben gave Zhao Tuo only half a month.

But in the first three days, the Hanoi army routs gathered in various cities were ordered to rush here, and other soldiers were re-formed.So when all members of this song are assembled, there are only twelve days left for real training.

"When a hundred people teach warfare, if you teach it successfully, you can unite a thousand; if you teach a thousand people, you can unite ten thousand people; , try it out."

Zhao Tuo stood on the Dianbing platform, looked at the thousands of soldiers in the battalion, and spoke to several subordinates beside him. What he said was the "Weiliao Art of War" compiled by Bang Weiweiliao.

When Zhao Tuo was an official in Xianyang, he was not idle. He not only found this new art of war from Bangwei Mansion to study, but also borrowed "Sun Tzu" and "Wu Zi" from the homes of Yang Xiong, Zhao Ben and others. The early reading of military books, now that he is a military marshal, he can naturally export it well, which matches his status.

"What the Marquis said is very true, if you use this method to train soldiers, you will be able to train a strong army..."

Zhang He immediately praised him. This Five Hundred Lord from Yingchuan County had a flattering smile on his face.Since meeting Zhao Tuo, this person has sought opportunities to praise him no less than ten times.

Zhao Guang nodded silently.

The black buttocks scratched their buttocks and said: "I understand this. Last year, under General Li's command, we first practiced alone in one village, one village, and one hundred, and then remitted to thousands of people to perform soldiers. Hehe, at that time Our military marshals are very popular in the military exercises. Even General Li personally called us to the Dianbing platform to praise us, saying that the military marshals are very good and we will have a bright future. No, we made a military marshal in a blink of an eye. General Li has a real vision."

Hearing this, Xiqigu and Shejian both nodded, that's how they came here back then.

Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "As expected of Zhao Junhou, I can be praised by General Li at a very young age, I really admire you!"

Zhao Tuo didn't care about Zhang He's flattery, and a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.A year ago, he was still a pawn who was training in a team among the ranks, but a year later he became a military officer leading 5000 soldiers. The transition between identities is quite amazing.

"Thanks to the fact that I personally entered the military camp and started as a pawn, so I can understand all aspects of military training. Now that I am a military officer, when it's time for me to train, I don't have to rush around. This is probably the combination of practice and theory."

Zhao Tuo felt emotional in his heart, and his thoughts came back to his eyes. He glanced at the thousands of soldiers lined up in the school field.

Needless to say, the order of the [-] Guan Zhongjun, they stood neatly, with their heads held high.

The two thousand Hanoi troops are not bad either. After all, they are regular troops who have been trained and have been on the battlefield. This kind of formation and formation is a small problem.

The remaining [-] Shangdang troops are also quite handsome, which shows that Zhao Guang has some skills.

The ones who came close were the five hundred Yingchuan people under Zhang He's command.

Yingchuan County is the land of South Korea, and it took only three or four years for Qin to destroy South Korea, so the 500 Koreans have not received much training. In addition, Zhang He may not be thinking about training, and the [-] people stand crookedly, and can stand vertically. into an arc shape.

But compared to the Hanzhong Army formation on the side, the five hundred Yingchuan Army can be said to be strictly disciplined.

I saw that among the thousand Hanzhong people, half could obey the command, standing almost like Yingchuan people, standing in a square formation into a circle.

The other half is mostly composed of Qiang and Di barbarians, who stand in circles, squares, trapezoids, or combinations of various shapes.Gathering in twos and threes, although they didn't dare to make loud noises, they still whispered to each other in various barbaric languages, and even laughed lowly from time to time.

Zhao Tuo's face darkened.

Although his song is a patchwork army, the Guanzhong Army and the Hanoi Army accounted for half of the soldiers. With a little training and cooperation, they can go to the battlefield to charge and kill. The Shangdang Army and the Yingchuan Army are slightly worse, and they can do it after training. In the second-line army, only the thousand Hanzhong garrison soldiers are the most troublesome.

"Haven't the two or five hundred Lords of Qiang arrived yet?"

Zhao Tuo asked, it has been a while since the time to order the assembly, the three [-] masters under his command, and the [-] masters under Zhao Tuo's direct control, Zhang He and Xiqigu, have all arrived beside him, only the Qiang dagger has not yet appeared.

Hearing this, Heizhi said angrily: "A barbarian is a barbarian. In my opinion, it's better to take this opportunity to get rid of the barbarian Qiangdagger, and replace him with one of our people to be the master of two or five hundred."

"Impossible. Those Qiangdi barbarians are fierce by nature. If they don't obey orders, they can only be ordered to move by Qiang Dagger. If he is replaced rashly, those barbarians may riot."

Zhang He spoke quickly, staring at Zhao Tuo, hoping to attract his attention.

Xi Qigu on the side also said: "Master Zhang Wubai's statement is indeed reasonable. I heard that this Qiang dagger came from a large tribe of Qiang barbarians, and it is quite prestigious among these barbarians. This group of people can come here from Hanzhong. , all rely on this person to restrain, if this position is replaced by someone else, I am afraid it will not be able to manage it."

What the two of them said was similar to what Zhao Tuo said yesterday, and Hei Hip could only resentfully (xìng) keep his mouth shut.

Zhao Tuo was expressionless. Just like what Xi Qigu and Zhang He said, barbarian troops have always been the most difficult to manage, not only because of the language barrier, but also because their customs and ideas are very different from those of China.

The Qin State ruled them, relying entirely on the local people to rule the barbarians, and set up special barbarian roads in the local area for management. When they were recruited to join the army, they usually did some hard work of digging ditches to deliver food, and rarely went to the battlefield to fight.

That's why this Qiang dagger has no fear and dares to put on airs for itself.Because Zhao Tuo really couldn't replace him because of a trivial matter, those uncivilized barbarians didn't recognize outsiders.

"What is the origin of the two five hundred masters under Qiang Dagger?"

Zhao Tuo looked sideways at Xi Qigu. As the captain of the short soldier, Xi Qigu also served as a secretary, so he had a deep understanding of the various officers in the army.

"There are two five-hundred masters, one named Qiang Gu, who is also from a Qiang barbarian background. He understands Qin dialect a little, but has a rough personality. Most of the uncivilized barbarians belong to him."

"The other person is named Bai Rong, who is a mixed blood of Qin and Di. It is said that his father's lineage is the Bai family of Mei County. He works as a county magistrate in a county in Hanzhong, and those people are under his command." Xi Qigu said, pointing to the Hanzhong army, The group of 500 people who could barely stand in a queue.

Zhao Tuo let out a "hmm" and saw that the military official standing in front of the 500 people was a man in his late thirties. The clothes on his body are similar to those of the barbarians, and his face is also full of beards, which is quite wild.

At this time, the tall Qiang dagger came from outside the gate. He greeted those Diqiang barbarians while walking, and immediately laughed, and the noisy voice made other soldiers in the phalanx look over.

"If he is allowed to go on like this, military discipline will definitely be corrupted, it is better to punish severely." She Jian whispered beside him.

"I have my measure."

Zhao Tuo was noncommittal, seeing this, Shejian didn't say any more.

At this time, the Qiang dagger also walked to the Dianbing platform, and casually cupped his hands at Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo asked: "I have issued an order to assemble the army, and all the generals have arrived on time. Why are the two or five hundred Qiang masters late?"

Qiang Dagger laughed and spoke in barbaric language, and finally said to Zhao Tuo in Qin Yu: "I misremembered the time of the military order, and I was hungry just now, so I went to eat some wine and meat, so I came a little late. Forgive me, Xiaojun."

Hearing these words, Heiyu and the others were furious. If they hadn't worried about Zhao Tuo being here, they would have cursed a long time ago.

On the contrary, Zhao Tuo was not only not annoyed, but said kindly: "It turns out that there is a reason for reading the order of the two or five hundred chief offenders of the Qiang today. In addition, I have not strictly enforced the military law, so I will not pursue this matter. However, the military needs to review the legal system. The two or five hundred Lords of Qiang still hope to take this as a warning to reward and punishment, so as not to commit the same crime again."

"Haha, I know I know."

When Qiang Dagger heard this, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he cupped his hands casually.

Zhao Tuo nodded, turned around and said to the generals: "Everyone has arrived, so we will start the formal military training today. Shejian, Heiyu, and Zhao Guang, all three of you have experience in battle. Today, we will start training the Golden Drum Banner first. Let the soldiers know the flags and distinguish the golden drums, and the thousand people will first cooperate with each other to become proficient."

"Wei, please obey the orders of the military commander."

The three generals surrendered.

Zhao Tuo said again: "Master Zhang Wubai, you have 500 people under your command. For the time being, first practice standing up and setting up the ranks. Within three days, you must let the soldiers know how to advance and retreat, and then start to distinguish gold. Drum the flag before you can practice with other ministries."

"Wei, please obey the orders of the military commander."

Zhang He had a bitter face, knowing that in Zhao Tuo's mind, his army was relatively poor.

Zhao Tuo looked at the Qiang dagger again, and said gently: "Two or five hundred masters of the Qiang, your troops will also practice in the ranks. Within three days, you must let the soldiers know how to advance and retreat, and don't slack off."

Qiang Dagger responded casually: "No."

Zhao Tuo smiled, stood on the Dianbing platform, and spoke loudly to the generals and the soldiers in the audience.

"I will follow the order of General Wang to train troops and kill the enemy."

"For every soldier, the system must be determined first, and the law must be made clear first."

"Starting today, set up camp tables, set up gates, and wait for the time. If it is out of date, then sit down."

"In the army, the five are united, the top and bottom are connected, and each protects each other. If anyone violates the order without authorization, he will be punished."

"There are no two orders in the army. Those who have two orders will be punished, those who keep orders will be punished, and those who lose orders will also be punished!"

"Anyone who violates the law will be punished without mercy!"

Zhao Tuo's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes scanned the soldiers in the field.

In the end, it fell on the leader of the Qiang people.
