Chapter 30 Military Discipline
The vast army has formed a long river, which is nearly 30 miles away from Xiangyang City. The flying tiger guard in front of it is still energetic, full of energy and not tired at all. The journey of more than 20 miles from Jinfan's eight hundred knights are asking for life on the horse is nothing for them. At this time, they are dressed as well as when they first set out.
Liu Qi's guard, under the training of Ma Zhong and Lu Jie, is not as good as Feihuwei and Jinfan 800 riders. They can still accept the journey of more than 20 miles. At this time, they still have their due responsibilities and guard Liu Qi strictly.
In contrast, the 20,000 troops, the momentum when they first set out, had been lost there. At this time, they were listless, and the weapons in their hands were dragged behind them at will. Their armor was messy, just like mountain thieves without any combat effectiveness. Liu Qi believed that a group of mountain thieves could disperse and slaughter them at this time.
Liu Qi and Xu Shu looked at each other and looked a little solemn. He had expected that the combat effectiveness of these two thousand troops would not be good, but when he saw it, he knew that he had overestimated it. This was not like the army at all. Thinking of Cai Mao, the smile in his eyes, there is no need to think that Liu Qi also knows that it is Cai Mao's ghost. These two thousand soldiers and horses are just golden.
Cai Heyi urged the horse to come to Liu Qi and said, "General, the soldiers are tired. Can they take a day off and wait for tomorrow before going on the road?"
Liu Qi was about to refuse, but he saw Xu Shu shaking his head at him. Although he was doubtful, he nodded and said, "Order, the whole army will rest."
A wisp of disappointment flashed in Cai He's eyes, but then he disappeared and went to pass the order.
The army immediately looked for a place to camp and make rice.
Liu Qi pulled Xu Shu and asked, "Brother Yuan Zhi, why do you want me to agree to rest? You know, at this speed, we don't know when we can reach Changsha?"
Xu Shu slowly took a sip of tea and said, "If the general doesn't agree, he will be tricked by Cai He." In the army, Xu Shu still called Liu Qi a general.
Liu Qi was stunned and asked in disbelief, "No way? So awesome."
Xu Shu smiled. Although Liu Qi was talented, he was the first time to lead the army. He didn't know many places, so he explained, "This is the relationship between the general and the generals and soldiers. Now the army is very tired. Cai He came to ask the general to rest. If the general does not agree, the soldiers will think that the general is not considerate to the sergeant. Naturally Standing on Cai He's side, they will accumulate over time. Once there is a change in the future, they will listen to Cai He's orders and ignore the general's orders.
Liu Qi was shocked. He didn't expect that an order would be so powerful. He secretly said, "It seems that he sees things too simply." Xu Shu is worthy of being a famous counselor of the Three Kingdoms. He grasps people's hearts very accurately and asks, "Brother Yuanzhi, what do you think I should do?"
"Weiwei." Xu Shu did not hesitate at all.
"Rewell?" Liu Qi was a little puzzled.
Xu Shu looked at Liu Qi and said, "Yes, it is to establish prestige. Now the general has no prestige in the whole army. The soldiers will not abide by the general's orders. Only by establishing prestige can the general initially master this army."
Liu Qi nodded. What Xu Shu said makes sense. Now he is just a general.
"Come on." Ma Zhong quickly walked into the account.
Liu Qi ordered, "Go and see who is the general who leads the Flying Tiger Guard this time?" Just say that I invited him to discuss the matter.
"No." Ma Zhong took the order and left.
Not long after, a young man in white armor came in. His armor was exactly the same as that of the ordinary Flying Tiger Guard, and the armor of all the Flying Tiger Guard was the same.
"See the general."
Liu Qi looked at the young Flying Tiger Guard general in front of him and was a little surprised. However, he did not doubt that the young man entered the Flying Tiger Guard by relationship.
"You just accept my command for the time being. You don't have to be so polite. What's the name of the general?
"The last general, Wang Yi." The young general said calmly.
When Liu Qi heard that his surname was Wang, and when he looked carefully, he found that he was somewhat similar to Wang Wei. He couldn't help asking, "I don't know what the relationship between General and General Wang Wei has?"
"That's my father." The young general did not have any burden because Wang Wei was his father. Obviously, he relied on his own ability to enter the Flying Tiger Guard.
Liu Qi and Xu Shu looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. Wang Wei sent his son to himself, and his purpose was self-evident. Liu Qi looked at Wang Yi and said, "General Wang, Feihuwei can accept my command."
Wang Yi still said calmly, "Flying Tiger Guard is now under the command of adults, and naturally accepts the command of adults."
"Okay, in that case, I still need General Wang's cooperation for a while." Liu Qi was relieved. Although Feihuwei belongs to him, Feihuwei itself belongs to Wang Wei. If they don't obey the command, there is nothing they can do with Liu Qi's current strength. However, he did not know that the Flying Tiger Guard was disciplined and resolutely obeyed the orders of his superiors. This was the rule set by Wang Wei, that was, he was afraid that the Flying Tiger Guard would be unruly and constantly dispatched.
Liu Qi nodded and ordered Ma Zhong to prepare.

The soldiers have just finished their meal and are ready to rest. Listening to the sound of the drums outside the tent, it was like ten thousand horses galloping, so they picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tent one by one, and there were twos and three discussions on the road.
"Do you know why this sudden gathering is? Is there an enemy?"
"How do I know? I was just about to take off my clothes and go to bed when I heard the war drum come out in a panic?"
"What kind of enemies are there? If the enemy generals had run away long ago, how could they be here?"
On the temporary school field outside the camp, Cai He quickly ran to Liu Qi and asked, "General, why do you gather everyone?"
Liu Qi glanced at him and said, "You will know in a moment." After saying that, he ignored Cai He and walked to the high platform to leave Cai He with a pale face.
"Little beast, I will let you stay forever when you arrive in Changsha." Cai Yun looked at Liu Qi's back with gloomy eyes.
On the high platform, he left and looked at the loose soldiers below, with a gloomy face.
"Look, are you a soldier now? I look like a beggar! A simple gathering took half an hour, and it hasn't been finished yet. If it's on the battlefield, do you want to wait for someone to break through the camp while sleeping? Liu Qi's voice was a little gloomy, mixed with anger.
"Where is Zhao tired?" Liu Qi shouted.
"The last one." Zhao Lei was dressed in light armor and appeared in front of Liu Qi. This time, Liu Qi took Ma Liang and Zhao Lei with him. He discussed with Xu Shu and felt that Zhao Lei was the most fair and suitable for this matter.
Liu Qi looked at Zhao tired and nodded and said, "Nian."
"Nuo" Zhao Lei bowed and took out a piece of Bo Jin and said, "Military discipline. After this, no one can violate the law of our army's behavior. On the battlefield, whoever retreats can't be the former, cut! On the battlefield, anyone who lies about military information. Cut! On the battlefield, anyone who disturbs the heart of the army, be cut off! On the battlefield, those who resist the order, behead! Anyone who kills innocent people indiscriminately! All traitors, ** captors, beheaded! ...........This is the principle for me to act as a general, and anyone who violates it will be severely punished." After reading, he bowed and handed Bo Jin to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi did not pick up Bo Jin, but said to the whole army, "Since today, Zhao Lei is an inspector. Anyone who violates military discipline will be dealt with by the inspector. If you don't accept it, you can come to me directly." After saying that, he looked at Zhao Lei and asked, "You may bear this heavy responsibility?"
Zhao Lei said excitedly, "I will live up to the general's high expectations."
"After that, before the three-way war drums were played, those who had not been present, chopping!" After saying that, go ahead.
Cai He quickly followed Liu Qi and asked, "Why didn't the general discuss such a big matter with me and decide privately?" Cai He looked a little ugly. He had some prestige in the army. Liu Qi didn't inform him in advance, and really didn't pay attention to him.
Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Cai He and asked, "Who is the general in this army?"
Cai He didn't understand his words, but he still replied, "Of course it's the general."
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Since I am a general, why should I report to you in advance?" After saying that, he snorted coldly and left.
"You..." Cai He pointed to Liu Qi and couldn't speak.
Cai He returned to the military tent with an ugly face. After a while, several generals gathered in his military tent and talked about it after hearing Cai He's words.
"This Liu Qi is just a little hair that hasn't grown yet. He is so arrogant that he simply doesn't pay attention to us."
"Yes, if he doesn't show him something, he really thinks that he wants to have the final say in the army alone."
"That is, if it hadn't been for us, let's see how he would fight this battle. General, don't worry, you have the final say in this army, so don't worry about Liu Qi's orders.
The discussion of the crowd made Cai He's face a little slow, but he was very unwilling. He looked at everyone and said, "Tomorrow, Liu Qi will definitely beat the war drum again. At that time, you will inform your subordinates not to pay attention to it. I want Liu Qi to lose face in front of the whole army and sweep away his prestige."
"General, don't worry, Liu Qi will look good tomorrow." Everyone said together.
The gathering of Cai He and others naturally can't hide Liu Qi, although Liu Qi's intelligence department is anamorphous. But it is more than enough to monitor a military camp. At this time, Liu Qi, Xu Shu and others are also discussing tomorrow's affairs. Ma Zhong, Lu Jie, Ma Liang, Zhao Lei and Gan Ning are also on the list.
Liu Qi looked at everyone and said, "If tomorrow's thing happens, you can make up your mind and wipe out the rebellion. If you fail, let alone calm down the rebellion."
After ordering the people, Liu Qi called Wang Yi, Xu Shu and Zhao Lei again. It took a long time for several people to discuss.
..................
In Xiangyang City, a young man in ragsagged clothes walked out of the city gate with a knife. The knife in his hand was covered with rust on the body of the knife, and the blade was full of gaps. Such a combination naturally made pedestrians on the roadside frequently look sideways. The young man didn't care about the eyes of the people around him. He looked back at Xiangyang City and left quickly.
