Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 139 Eight Captains
"My lord, there are too many surrendered troops in the city, and I think it's better to assign meritorious generals quickly and increase the number of their leaders, so that they can absorb surrendered troops faster!" Ji Ling reported.

"Yes, I also agree with General Ji's words!" Gong Du said.

Ji Ling and Gong Du had high prestige in the army. As soon as they said this, the rest of the generals thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

However, Chen Dao clasped his fists at this moment, "My lord, I don't think it's necessary to rush into the matter of enfeoffment. My lord's current position is too low. Even if I seal it up again, it's only a vain position. Why don't we assign a few commanders temporarily to lead the various sects?" , After the detailed battle report comes out, the county officials will jointly ask for orders, report to the court to ask for credit, and order people to bring rare treasures and money and food as tribute to show loyalty, and you will definitely be rewarded by the court!"

"Okay! Uncle Zhi's words are wonderful! What do the generals think?" Feng Yao stroked Da Yue, glanced at the generals, and finally fixed his eyes on Ji Ling. Chen Dao's words meant that he did not agree with Ji Ling. Of course, it depends on how Ji Ling answers.

At the beginning, Ji Ling's face was slightly displeased, but after listening to Chen Dao's analysis, he nodded slowly. Although his qualifications were old, Ji Ling did not dare to show any disrespect in front of Feng Yao, "My lord, Ji also I think Shu Zhi's words are very reasonable!"

Wang Hu was new, so he didn't dare to say too much, so he agreed: "Wang Hu, but according to the master's order!"

Cheng Gu didn't say much, just nodded non-stop.

Veteran general Zhou Zheng looked at Feng Yao with a strange look in his eyes, he did not participate too much in the discussion of the generals, and he did not take the initiative to speak out, but at this time Zhou Zheng was the one who felt the most among the crowd. After returning to Pingyu, he heard about the lord and Gong Yinglian, and realized that he did not recognize the wrong person that day, the lord was indeed the adopted son of his close friend Liao Yuan! !Seeing Feng Yao's achievements today and finally making a marriage contract with Gong Yinglian, Zhou Zheng is happier than anyone else. He also knows that his ability is limited. If it is not for the promotion of the lord, he has no right to sit here!
However, since the lord asked everyone to express their opinions, Zhou Zheng did not dare to remain silent, and said: "My lord, uncle Zhi is reasonable, but it is getting late to see the weather today, and we must speed up the speed of surrender, otherwise the people will complain and the soldiers will be exhausted, which will be extremely unfavorable to me. Wait! It’s best to split things up, set up a few generals first, and proceed slowly with the rest!”

Zhou Zheng's method was to further improve the strategy of Ji Ling and Chen Dao, and he expressed his approval to both of them. After hearing this, Ji Ling and Chen Dao looked very happy, and thanked Zhou Zheng!
Everyone was silent for a while, at this time Xu Chu took the opportunity to say: "My lord, I discussed with General Dai just now, and I have a proposal. My lord has more soldiers and more food, but the Chinese army is too weak, so why not take this opportunity to reorganize the Chinese army! To invigorate the majesty of the lord!"

Dai Ling nodded to agree with Xu Chu's words.

Feng Yao thought for a while. What the two said was indeed reasonable. It was time to select a group of elites and organize the Chinese army. However, there was no need to rush for today. It would not be too late to select after the battalions were settled tomorrow. So he said to the two: "This suggestion is accepted, but you have to wait until tomorrow, listen to my order!"

Xu Chu Dailing obeyed.

In the end Feng Yao set his eyes on Wei Yan who seemed to be in deep thought, and said, "Mr. Wen, do you have any suggestions?"

"Return to my lord, Chief Wen is considering the matter of stationing troops!" Wei Yan looked serious and serious.

"Master Wen, but it's okay to say?" Feng Yao said.

"My lord, all [-] soldiers are stationed in the city at once, crowded in the streets and alleys, and the people dare not come out. It is better to mix up the army while accepting the surrender, and leave the city with the assembled army, and station in the original camp to reduce the chaos in the city! The subordinate hasn't figured out a specific strategy yet, so he didn't speak up, please forgive me, my lord!" Wei Yan clasped his fists.

The generals were shocked, their eyes lit up, and they praised: "Master Wen is so talented! We are all inferior!"

Feng Yao was so happy that he stood up and said loudly: "Since the generals have decided on the plan, this matter should not be delayed. I will come to announce the order. I hope you will live up to my trust!"

All the generals turned around, faced Feng Yao, and knelt down to accept the order.

Feng Yao's mind turned, everything had been arranged, and he began to issue orders.

"Ji Ling! You lead your troops to use the East City Gate to quickly mix up the battalions. Don't divide the soldiers into different types of troops, first enter the camp and garrison first! The formed army is temporarily stationed in the camp outside the original East Gate!"

"Gong Du! You lead your troops to use the North City Gate and station in the Taolinju camp outside the North Gate!"

"Wei Yan! Nanmen, Wang Hu, and Ximen, you two need to set up another camp! Each of you will bring your original troops to set up camp, and at the same time accept the troops from the surrendered city!"

"Zhou Zheng! Cheng Gu, you two take over the city defense!"

"Chen Dao! You lead the troops to station in the barracks in the city, and use the school field to absorb the soldiers! If Zhou Cang returns, he can be stationed in the city with you!"

"The six of you and Zhou Cang will all lead the army as captains first. After the city is settled, they will be rewarded according to their merits! In addition, all the soldiers who have been successfully recruited and the soldiers in the camp will be rewarded with two coins each before entering the camp." Hundreds, share his merits and wait for future rewards!"

After the order was announced, Feng Yao said again: "Those who don't have the lieutenant's money and soldier talismans will stay here for now, and the other generals will hurry to carry out the order!"

All the generals responded in unison: "We obey!"

The three generals Ji Ling, Gong Du, and Cheng Gu took the lead and went away. Zhou Zheng and Wei Yan were only the Sima of another department. Feng Yao immediately took back the original soldier amulet and military seal, and gave the corresponding school lieutenant amulet. The two generals followed He also took orders to go.

Feng Yao gave Wang Hu the seal again, saying: "I entrust the matter of Ximen to you!"

Wang Hu was ordered to kowtow: "I will not fail my lord!" He also led the order to go out of the gate of the county mansion.

In the end, only Chen Dao, Xu Chu, and Dai Ling were left. Chen Dao said, "My lord, the Chen family has been controlled by me, and the whole Chen family has elected me as the new head of the Chen family!"

"Third brother, it's hard for you. I don't know how many people have been arrested? Where is Chen Ying now?" Feng Yao asked.

"My lord, I only arrested Chen Ying's family and the manager Chen Fu's family, more than ten people! Now they are in the army! The rest of the Chen family are at fault, but they were only forced by Chen Ying's power, and they are not real enemies. I have forgiven his crime in private! Please punish him, my lord!" Chen Dao immediately ran to the ground to plead guilty.

Feng Yaodao: "Third Brother, please stand up, you have done a good job! What is your fault? I want you to go to the Chen Mansion because I want you to identify the real enemy, and it is not because I want to kill the Chen family to only a few dozen people." !Since the task has been completed, it is not convenient for you to detain Chen Ying, Chen Fu and others! It is better to transfer them to the prison of the county government immediately!"

Then he said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, speed up five hundred soldiers and go back to the camp with Chen Dao. Take all the prisoners from the Chen family who are connected with thieves into the prison and keep them under strict guard until tomorrow's public trial!"

Xu Chu obeyed and left with Chen Dao.

"Dai Ling, follow me to the prison, I want to see who is locked in the prison!" Feng Yao patted Dai Ling on the shoulder.

"Yes, my lord, Dai Ling is willing to go!" Dai Ling replied.

Just when Dai Ling had just stood up half of his body, he suddenly swayed and almost fell, but the large shield tied behind Dai Ling's back suddenly tore off the strap, and with a loud bang, he hit the ground paved with blue bricks. , Not only broke a big gap in the bamboo mat, even the blue bricks below were smashed by a 69-jin steel shield.
