"Master Captain, the actual number of our regiment should have been 310 and three people, but when the former Colonel Cui left, he took his personal soldiers and two brigades with him, a total of 32 soldiers. Now the actual number of soldiers is 280. The number is complete. , please inspect it, Captain Captain."

Wang Qinian dodged for a while, instead of meeting Li Xian's gaze, he lowered his head and said.

Li Xian asked: "Is one not bad?"

Wang Qinian said: "Not bad at all! The soldiers admire your reputation, Colonel, and stood in front of the door very early to wait for your arrival. One of them who had run around and had diarrhea the day before and his legs were so weak also got up and joined the line to welcome you. You, this shows the respect the soldiers have for you. In fact, I have been in the Zuo Tun Guard for more than 20 years, and I have never seen anyone who was welcomed as a captain. I swear, absolutely not A lie."

Wang Qinian lowered his head and said sincerely.

Li Xian snorted, and asked with interest: "Where is that soldier, show me."

He was very curious, did he really become so famous?Already have a serious illness and do not hesitate to get up to greet his fans?This is definitely a happy thing. This is the first good news I heard after arriving at the grain guard camp of Zuo Tunwei, which is really exciting.

Wang Qinian raised his head bravely, looked straight into Li Xian's eyes, pointed to his own nose and said seriously, "It's me."

Li Xian was stunned, then nodded, and also said very seriously: "Wang Qinian, you are really good. I am very touched that you still insist on leading the team here to wait for me when your legs are weak."

Wang Qinian said sincerely: "My lord has a great reputation. I have been sleepless and tossed and turned since I saw my lord's heroic appearance by the Liaoshui that day. I have always regretted not being able to meet a true hero like my lord. Whenever night comes When I closed my eyes, I saw the majestic appearance of you beheading those Korean barbarians. I look forward to it every day, and the humble position is finally moved. Your teachings, my lord, will surely refresh my mind and make me feel refreshed like a spring breeze."

Li Xian smiled lightly, took out a cloth handkerchief and handed it to Wang Qinian, "Wipe the drool first."

"Thank you sir!"

Wang Qinian was so moved that he almost burst into tears: "My lord's love and love for my humble servants, my humble servants must be engraved in my heart forever."

This flattery was truly unprecedented, like a torrential river flowing continuously, like a series of stinky farts in the carriage that one couldn't escape even if one wanted to.

Li Xian was very surprised that such a talent as Wang Qinian, who had been in the Zuotunwei supply camp for more than [-] years, was not taken away or beaten to death.How can a person who loves to listen to flattery be willing to leave him alone among the guards and wait for the next audience?How can people who don't like to listen to flattery endure such loud praises like a long river breaking its embankment?

Li Xian took advantage of Wang Qinian's pretentious wiping of tears and glanced at the straight-chested food guards. There were more than 200 soldiers. Although each of them looked energetic, there was no doubt that their equipment was quite different from that of regular soldiers. , although everyone has standard equipment such as leather armor and horizontal knife, but from the crooked array and even the posture of holding the knife, it can be seen that these guys must be neglected in training.

Li Xian was more or less disappointed, this was far from the soldiers he saw training in the open space outside General Xin Shixiong's tent. The quality of his first batch of officers and soldiers was indeed not reassuring.In fact, it’s no wonder that those who participated in the grain guards did not intend to really go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. Their family backgrounds are basically good. Joining the army and coming to Liaodong is nothing more than wanting to look good on their resumes.Walking around Liaodong with the army, and going back is also their bragging capital.These food guards do not belong to the regular establishment of the Zuo Tunwei. In fact, most of them are selected from good families from all over the country.

In fact, each of their families is regarded as a prominent family in the local area, large or small.In other words, they all came to be gilded.

But among them there are many young people who hold fame and fame but take such ideas immediately, but they either have no money to give gifts or have money to give gifts, so they stay in the grain guards and dawdle.Those who have no money to give gifts are sad because they can't go to battle to kill the enemy and make contributions to the country, so they have no chance to realize their dream of becoming a marquis and worshiping general.Those who have money to give gifts feel melancholy because the war has been fought for too long and they have nothing to do every day. It is really not as comfortable as eating, drinking and having fun at home.

However, this does not mean that they do not worship heroes.

When they saw Li Xian leaping on a horse and raising his sword on the east bank of the Liaoshui River, they had imagined that the hero with black armor and black sword riding a big black horse was themselves.Killing and rushing into the battle is like entering the land of no one, and the eighteen cavalry dare to show off their might on the territory of the Koreans.But it is a pity that most of them have this dream but dare not realize it, because they all know the truth that being a hero is dangerous, it is better not to be a hero.

And subduing such a group of soldiers is easy but not easy, because each of them has some background to some extent.For example, Wang Qinian has repeatedly claimed that he is from the Jiangnan Wang family.Fortunately, rumors that Li Xian and his son-in-law Duwei Yuwen Shiji were old acquaintances, and that His Majesty valued them had already spread among the grain guards. Xiaowei Yan, who is both older, has no resistance.

Li Xianzhan's advantage is that he was directly sent by His Majesty to Zuo Tunwei.This world is dominated by aristocratic families, no matter how hard the children of ordinary people work, it is better to have a good background.Although they didn't know Yan Xiaowei's background, they knew that Yan Xiaowei's backer was the largest family in the Sui Dynasty, the Yang family.It is the one who stands tallest in Tai Sui, Your Majesty.

Wang Qinian wiped his nose with the cloth handkerchief, then carefully folded it squarely and stuffed it into the leather armor, as if it was not a piece of cheap cloth, but a piece embroidered with gold and silver threads baby.Although this action didn't disgust Li Xian, it definitely didn't feel good after seeing it.

"My lord, do you want to go and see your tent? I knew yesterday that my lord is coming, so I cleaned it overnight."

Wang Qinian asked.

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Take me first to see how much baggage is left in the camp. In addition, gather all the peasants and count the number of people."

Wang Qinian pulled out a book from his leather armor like a conjuring hand and handed it to Li Xiandao, "This is the ledger of what's in the camp. Don't worry, my lord. I've checked it myself and it's not bad at all. In addition, those civilian husbands We have already assembled in the camp, and we are waiting for your lord to give you a lecture."

Li Xian had to admit that Wang Qinian was definitely a talent.

After entering the camp, sure enough, a team of more than 400 civilian husbands has been assembled.Under Wang Qinian's command, the hard-working peasants stood even more orderly than the grain guards.It's just that the clothes on them are indeed too dirty, and none of their faces look good.In fact, they were the ones who suffered the most in this conquest of Liaodong.I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, not only the salary is extremely low, but the work is dirty and tiring, and I don't know when I will have to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder.For example, in the battle of Liaoshui, more than 2000 soldiers were killed and injured, including more than 5000 soldiers from Zuo Tunwei who died with Mai Tiezhang on the first day, while the number of civilian husbands was an astonishing [-]. Many people!The number of casualties was more than twice that of the Fubing. Most of them died in Liaoshui and even their bodies could not be found.

It's just such a group of civilian husbands who can't see the slightest expression in their eyes, but they are trained by Wang Qinian to shout neatly: "Welcome to the captain!"

And when Li Xian spent more than half an hour checking the luggage, he was surprised to find that the quantity of a part of the random checked luggage was exactly the same as that recorded in the account book given by Wang Qinian.For a supply battalion without a school lieutenant to supervise it, this is really a miracle.

From this, Li Xian deduced that Wang Qinian was really not a corrupt official.

Whether he dare not be greedy or is really clean, being able to hold back the temptation is enough to show that this person is definitely not as wretched and hypocritical as he seems.

Li Xian first asked the civilian husbands to disband and go back to rest, and then brought more than 280 grain guards to the open space and ordered them to stand in line.Afterwards, the captains, corporal leaders, and special leaders of each team came out to report to Li Xian, and Li Xian found that the regiment's configuration was a mess.It's been so long since I've been in Liaodong, and some teams still can't remember the names of all their soldiers!Three months, not being able to remember the names of fifty people can only explain two problems, either, such a guy is as stupid as a pig, or as lazy as a pig.

There are more than 280 people and six teams, almost all of which are not full.Li Xian first added the secret spies of the Flying Tiger Army to each team, and selected a few trusted people to fill the vacant positions of team leader, team deputy, team leader, and other positions, and then announced that Tie Liaolang would be the second team leader. For the brigade rate, Luo Fu is the brigade rate for the C brigade, and Wang Qinian is still in charge of the D brigade rate.

What I have to say is that, whether it is due to discrimination or other conventions, there is no A-shaped brigade among the grain guards.

Another amazing thing about Wang Qinian is his memory. Not only can he remember the names of all the captains in the past [-] years, he can remember the names of all brigades, he can even call out the names of everyone present, and he can say it accurately. Find out the person's background, family background, and personal characteristics.

Li Xian found out that he had picked up the treasure.

What Li Xian did next made Wang Qinian very depressed.It also wiped out some of the grain guards' goodwill towards Li Xian before, and replaced it with deep resentment and hatred for Wang Qinian.Of course, they soon found out that Mr. Captain is really nice, so nice that people can't wait to pounce on him and kiss him hard.

"New year."

Li Xian shouted with a smile.

Wang Qinian was flattered and said: "If you have anything to do, you can just order it directly. Within the ability of a humble official, you will never shirk."

Li Xian found that this Wang Qinian was very useful in addition to being more talkative.

"I admire the fact that you can name each of them and tell what they are good at."

Li Xian said sincerely.

Wang Qinian blushed, and said coyly: "Brother
