Chapter 234 Tiger Testing Talisman
The matchmakers were not in a hurry. It was still early anyway. Whether they were looking for teacher Li Gang or Xiao Yu, who was related to the Jiangdong family, they would not refuse based on Ji Song's reputation.
The most important thing now is to go to Zuo Xiaowei to receive people. The sooner this happens, the , it would be easier if General Zuo Xiaowei is Chai Shao.
I got up early in the morning, took ten soldiers including Liu Lao'er, climbed onto Honglei, and headed towards Zuo Xiaowei's camp in the north of the city!
Zuo Xiaowei is one of the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty. Unlike the soldiers who work as soldiers during the war and as farmers in their spare time, Zuo Xiaowei is one of the Xiaoqi. There are nearly 2 people in the army and [-] cavalry. The rest are Infantry that can be mounted at any time.
Although it has jurisdiction over many prefecture-level military forces, these troops can only be assembled after being assigned by the emperor in wartime. In peacetime, they only have the soldiers of the headquarters.
This is one of the standing armies of the Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt about its combat effectiveness. It is definitely the best in the world. Whether it is equipment or training, it is not comparable to the soldiers of the government.
It is worth mentioning that Ji's father also served in Zuo Xiaowei back then, but over the years, he probably didn't know much about his father.
I was originally going to the military government office, but last night Chai Shao had someone bring the news, saying that his men and horses had been divided up. They were currently in the camp outside the north of the city, so he just went to receive it directly.
In addition, the tiger talisman for commanding troops has also been sent by the emperor. It is a tiger token with only half a piece. Ji Song's appointment can only take effect officially after the tiger talisman is unified with the other half of the tiger in the camp.
The horse galloped along the way without any pause, and soon arrived outside the camp.
"Stop anyone who comes, any trespassers will be killed!"
Arriving outside the camp, Ji Song and others were stopped by a loud shout.
Liu Laoer stepped forward and said loudly: "The Marquis of Haoqi County, General Zuo Xiaowei Yulin Zhonglang, and the rear army commander Ji Song are coming to receive the army, why don't you get out of the way quickly."
As soon as the person opposite heard Ji Song's name, he knew that his coach was here, so he didn't dare to neglect, opened the door and walked out.
As for whether the other party is here to pretend to be? Don't be kidding, where is this place?It's one of Zuo Xiaowei's stations under Chang'an City. Who dares to do this?This is not how you seek death.
Besides, he had also seen Ji Song before. During the battle on the Weishui River, he was among them, so he could tell at first sight whether it was true or not.
When he walked forward and saw a young figure wearing black armor and Mingguang armor, holding a horizontal sword, he knew that it was right, it was the Marquis Hao Jie himself.
"General Zhang Lun will pay homage to the Governor!"
Ji Song stepped forward on his horse, looked down at him, and said, "Summon the officers above the rank of captain for a discussion!"
"The last general takes orders!"
Ji Song entered the camp directly and headed to the Chinese army's tent.
Regarding Zhang Lun, his uncle Chai Shao had told him that he was a stable general. Although he was not aggressive enough, he was more than conservative and cautious. He is now the captain of Xiaoqi and can be regarded as one of Ji Song's deputies.
Soon we arrived at the big tent, which was very simple and shabby, with only some standing items and marching maps.
Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps outside the big enough, Zhang Lun strode in, clasped his fists at Ji Song and said, "Generals above the captain level have arrived. Please give me your supervision!"
"Let them all in!"
"promise!"
Soon everyone came in one after another. When everyone arrived, Zhang Lun took the lead, followed by others, shouting in unison: "The general is waiting, meet the governor!"
"Okay, get up!"
"Thank you Dudu!"
Ji Song stood up and walked back and forth among them. Although he was still growing, perhaps due to martial arts training, his height was not much different from that of an adult.
According to later generations, he was also about and a half meters tall, which was not much different from others.
Ji Song counted and found that there were seven people coming. According to the marching configuration of 5000 people, all but the marching commander Shi were the [-] soldiers, there are five leading captains, Waijiadian military captain and marching commander Shi, a total of seven.
Just when he was about to return to his position, he saw someone who looked familiar. After a closer look, wasn't this Su Lie who disappeared after the Battle of the Weishui River? Back then, due to his recklessness, he caused heavy losses to the Xuanjia Cavalry. Although he had military exploits, he was hidden by Chai Shaoxue. How could he be here?
Ji Song has never been in the past, and we don't have much friendship in the first place, so there is no need to get close to him.
"Tiger Test Talisman!"
Ji Song came to the main seat, took out half of his tiger talisman, and discussed it with Zhang.
"promise!"
He also took out half a tiger talisman from his arms and took Ji Song's piece over. He gently merged the two, and with a 'click' sound, the two tiger talismans were tightly connected together.
Zhang Lun checked it carefully several times to make sure nothing was missing, and then respectfully presented the tiger talisman to Ji Song with both hands.
Ji Song also took it with both hands, then held the complete tiger talisman high and said: "I, Ji Song, am currently the Marquis of Haoji County, and was appointed by Your Majesty as General Zuo Xiaowei Yulin Zhonglang and Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army.
From now on, I will be in charge of the five thousand soldiers of Zuo Xiaowei. I hope you and others can help now on, as long as I am in charge, I will be rewarded and punished by the army. If you violate this oath, both humans and gods will be abandoned! "
'Shuh! '
Ji Song twitched and stabbed the table in front of him in two.
"hiss"
Everyone gasped when they saw the smooth knife marks on both sides.
You must know that this desk is made of solid wood. The manager actually split a knife into two pieces. Whether it was the strength or the sharpness of the knife, these people were completely convinced.
They all know about Ji Song, who has made his reputation so loud in the past few years!
Regardless of whether he was granted the title of Marquis due to his meritorious service, or he later opened up wasteland for the people in his territory, everyone talked about it.
In fact, when they heard that the famous Hao Jiehou was going to be their head coach, they all beamed and couldn't wait to report there right away.
As for whether Ji Song can fight, they have no doubt. As long as they can be under his command, it is absolute that the credit of themselves and others will be increased by a few percent.
Because of what Ji Song said, the credit belongs to you, and the word that the scapegoat came to resist has already spread in Chang'an.
Afterwards, everyone also learned that he would not be knighted in the next 20 years, which made them happy. No matter how much credit he made, the majority would be theirs. Where could such a good thing be found? What's more, everyone knows the abilities of Hao Zhenhou. In the first battle, he killed three thousand Turkic cavalry, and in the second battle, he sneaked into the enemy camp and beheaded the enemy general with his own hands.
Which soldier is unwilling to follow such a record?Coupled with the Governor's background, who dares to underestimate him?
Therefore, after knowing that Ji Song came to command them, each one of them started to clamor to make contributions.
As for things that are within the power of showing off to newcomers, think about it and forget about it!
Regardless of qualifications or strength, they didn't say anything to Ji Song, just one word: convinced.
Besides, he is still the nephew of the general. With this relationship, he is one of our own. Why should we embarrass our own people?
Even if Ji Song doesn't come, others will come, and they won't be able to take the position of general anyway.
Therefore, there are only benefits to following Ji Song, but no harm.
What else can you say?Just kill the enemy with a knife!
Qiao Mu is also slowly groping for the description of war. Please give me some advice on the areas where the writing is not good.
