Chapter 22 Purple Training Card [Clan Army](1/2)
Xiangzhou County, Weizhou.
The Qin Dynasty granted Yan Shanbo the title of General Zhennan, and Di Qing, the left governor of the former military governor's mansion, so the army camp was set up here!
In the contiguous tents, the sound of the army's drills continued, showing a sense of solemnity. Soldiers were constantly patrolling, and the guards were extremely tight to prevent any prying eyes.
Di Qing had an army of 100,000 under his command, but because he had to guard Xiangzhou and Anshun counties, and defend the northern border of Xia Kingdom, Jin area and even the Tubo Kingdom in the west, his troops were dispersed to various places to guard them.
Previously, in the Weizhou camp, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in full force.
But today, the camp is extremely lively!
The generals of the Yun army who had been guarding the two prefectures and counties actually rushed back to the Weizhou camp in the past few days.
In the commander's tent, Di Qing, who has a full armor and stomach and a serious face, is sitting on the commander's seat.
The generals under his command gathered here, all bowed and saluted, and said loudly:
"General, please wait and see the commander-in-chief!"
Di Qing nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"The generals are gathered together today just to rearrange the front line defenses."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the generals who bowed their heads and saluted suddenly lit up, and their faces showed excitement.
Ever since His Majesty issued the decree to move the imperial court to Jiangling as the capital, rumors have circulated throughout the Yun Kingdom that the war between Yun and Xia will resume again.
The generals in the army also had speculations in their minds.
But this time Di Qing suddenly summoned the generals to discuss matters and rearrange the front line defenses, which made the generals believe that war was imminent!
Di Qing ignored the excitement on the faces of the generals and shouted loudly:
"General Suiwu Jiang Wei!"
Among the generals in the queue, Jiang Wei, who was tall and tall with a heroic appearance, walked out quickly at this moment, leaned over and clasped his fists in salute, and responded:
"The end is here!"
"I order you to lead 5,000 Youzhou assault cavalry and 10,000 infantry from the Forbidden Army Yunqi Battalion to garrison Jincheng Mansion and guard the southern border of Xiangzhou to prevent the Xia army from Xingqing Mansion from attacking!" Di Qing shouted in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Jincheng Mansion is the southernmost city in Xiangzhou County.
Less than a hundred miles north of Jincheng Mansion is Xingqing Mansion on the northern border of the Xia Kingdom. Twenty thousand elite northern troops of the Xia Army are stationed here, watching eagerly!
After hearing this order, the generals in the tent were even more certain that something big was coming!
Di Qing paused for a moment. Seeing the generals' excited faces and their military morale, he couldn't help but nodded secretly, and then continued to shout in a deep voice:
"The experience of the former military governor's office was written down by the commander of Xiangzhou County!"
Shi Chengwen, who was born in the Yin Yang family but preferred to study the art of war, quickly stepped out of the queue and saluted:
"The end is here!"
"I order you to lead eight thousand Wudang flying troops to garrison Lintan City and attack Qingtang of Tubo. I also give you the control to dispatch the subordinate cavalry of the Yangtong tribe and the authority to dispatch six thousand troops of the four garrison troops. If Tubo has the intention to raise troops,
Immediately mobilize troops and attack westward into Tubo territory!"
Shi Chengwen looked solemn and immediately shouted:
"General, take your orders!"
"Yingyang General Qi Lei and mighty General Zhang Tian led the Yunjie Battalion with 12,000 men and stationed them in Li County and Wenshang County of Jiangyang County to guard against Tibetan movements."
"I will obey the Commander-in-Chief's orders!"
"General Weibei Li Congye led the Wei border camp with 15,000 men, stationed at Longzhong Mansion, and guarded the flanks of General Suiwu."
"The general will obey your orders!"
"General Ming and Han Dynasty Qi Bi He Li led the Zhongwei Camp with 15,000 troops and settled in Zhuanglang County, Xiangzhou County..."
"yes!"
…
Military orders were issued one after another, and the generals in the army suppressed their excitement and stepped forward to accept the military orders.
When all the defense orders from the frontline counties were issued, Di Qing glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice:
"You all already know that this upcoming battle is of vital importance to your Majesty's ambitions!"
"Now that the military order has been issued, quickly return to the battalions and command the troops. Never underestimate the enemy and be negligent. Otherwise, military law will not tolerate mercy!"
All the generals had solemn faces and responded in unison:
"General, please wait, take your orders!"
After saying that, all the generals exited the commander's tent and left in a hurry.
But at this time, there were still two generals, one old and one young, in the commander's tent. They had not left.
Di Qing raised his head and looked at the two of them. Before he could ask any questions, he heard the veteran and spoke first:
"May I ask, Commander-in-Chief, why did my grandfather and grandson not receive military orders?"
This veteran, wearing armor and stomach, has a majestic figure, but his words do not have the rough air of a warrior. Instead, he exudes a calmness, even giving people the illusion of a scholar.
Facing the veteran's inquiry, Di Qing said calmly:
"Your grandfather and grandson have just arrived with troops. I don't know much about your abilities, so I haven't issued any military orders."
What Di Qing said was quite straightforward.
The old, young and grandson had just been ordered to lead the army to Xiangzhou County. Their abilities and personalities were still unclear, so it was naturally impossible for Di Qing to directly entrust them with the important task!
Hearing this, the young general who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old couldn't help but retorted:
"We are here with the troops under your Majesty's orders! What a figure your Majesty is today. If my grandparents and my grandson are not capable enough, how could your Majesty let my grandparents and my grandson..."
"Shut up!"
The young man was full of energy, and when he heard that Di Qing didn't seem to trust his grandfather and grandson, he was obviously a little helpless.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted angrily by the veteran.
The veteran quickly bowed his fist to Di Qing, bowed his head and apologized:
"This boy is young and speaks without restraint. Please don't argue with me, Commander-in-Chief..."
When the young man said this, Di Qing was not angry at all, but rather agreed with it in his heart!
Although the grandfather and grandson are older and younger, but since they can gain the trust of His Majesty and lead the troops, they cannot be incompetent. I feel a little contempt for His Majesty...
Facing the veteran's apology, Di Qing waved his hands repeatedly to express that he didn't mind.
Then he looked at his grandfather and grandson and explained aloud:
"It's not that I don't trust His Majesty's vision, nor that I doubt the abilities of veteran general Zhong. It's just because this is related to the lives of the frontline soldiers, and there is no room for mistakes, so we have to be careful..."
There have been many incidents from ancient times to the present when one general was incompetent and the whole army was exhausted.
As the commander of an army, Di Qing naturally has to be extremely cautious. Otherwise, if he is not careful, many soldiers will be buried on the front line...
As the commander-in-chief of an army, saying such words to his generals is actually a bit like admitting his mistake.
Zhongshi Dao, who was originally unhappy, felt a little embarrassed when he saw Di Qing acting like this.
The veteran even pulled his grandson to salute again and said respectfully:
"The commander-in-chief is magnanimous and cares about the soldiers. Zhong Shiheng admires him!"

Di Qing pondered for a moment, then spoke again:
"Commander, I remember that the commanders under your grandson and grandson are also heavy armored cavalry?"
