Chapter 1206: Military Morality Is Available

"Jin Yi!"

Zhao Cheng suddenly scolded, making Lin Yi kneel down in fright.

"Do you know that this is a treasonous statement?!"

"Publish the mark to admit guilt!"

Ji Yi hurriedly said, but his heart felt relieved, but he knew that he would not die.

If Zhao Cheng wanted to kill himself, he would not have told him what he said next. He should have killed him on the spot as a warning to others.

"According to military law, this crime should have been beheaded on the spot, but I thought you had the merit of killing the thief before you, and then combined it with the crime. Now is the time to employ people, so I have decided to temporarily remove your official position. If you can kill five thieves, you will be reinstated!"

"Are you convinced by this decision?!"

Zhao Cheng said.

After hearing this, Lin Yi felt ecstatic in his heart. Temporarily cutting off his official position seemed harsh, but in fact, it was a matter of picking it up high and putting it down gently.

After all, it was a capital crime for him.

Zhao Cheng's reaction was undoubtedly that although he had gone too far, his heart was loyal. More importantly, he had left an impression on the other party, which was exactly what he wanted.

He was not an honest person to begin with. He followed Wang Shouzheng before because he saw a future in him. Now that he saw Zhao Cheng who had a more promising future, he naturally abandoned his old master without any doubt.

For this kind of person, Zhao Cheng's idea is that he can use his strength and life, and he can be a general, but not a commander.

In terms of quality, although the opponent's talent is not as good as Wang Shouzheng's, he is far more powerful than Wei Ye.

As long as you can ensure that your status is always higher than the other person, there will be no problems with this person.

Wang Shouzheng was even more heartbroken when he saw Lin Yi like this. Two days ago, the two of them were as close as brothers, saying that they should never forget each other even if they were rich and noble. But now the other party has directly accepted the new master and treats him as his own. As if there is nothing left.

"Send the order to the entire army to break camp!"

After dealing with Ji Yi's matter, Zhao Cheng waved his hand and ordered.

…

Among the more than fifty people, there were many wounded soldiers. Fortunately, there were medicines and Taoist techniques. Combining the two, although the march was affected to some extent, there were no injuries that worsened to the point of death.

Of course, Taoism is not omnipotent. It is also because Zhao Cheng has a small number of people and Zhao Cheng is profound in Taoism, so he can take care of both.

Otherwise, when marching in hot and humid places like mountains and forests, minor injuries may turn into serious injuries, or even death.

After that, more than ten days passed in a row, and the climate in the mountains and forests was also ever-changing. Sometimes it was windy and sunny, sometimes it was windy and rainy. Fortunately, Zhao Cheng could not only look at the wind, but also predict the weather changes, so it was not a problem.

In the process, Zhao Cheng also collected some herbs, mixed them with the most abundant snakes and insects in the mountains and forests, and boiled them to replenish the bodies of his soldiers. This made his men's spirits more and more vigorous, and even Gradually, many soldiers developed a feeling that their general seemed to be omnipotent, and his military spirit was available!

More than ten days later, Zhao Cheng's team grew from fifty people to more than four hundred people.

The mountains and forests are also vast, and the number of Huang Tianjun who fled into the mountains and forests was definitely more than this. The fifty thousand people fled in defeat. In fact, only a few thousand were directly killed. At least half of the remaining tens of thousands of people fled into the forests.

This mountain forest is the border between Qingzhou and Southern Wilderness. It is impossible to stop them from escaping to Qingzhou. For those who escape into the mountain forest, the harsh environment is the most deadly.

It was a defeated army, and there was a big problem with supplies.

In the past ten days or so, Zhao Cheng encountered many remnant troops. As time went by, they all had some problems. Some were poisoned by miasma, and some were injured by insects and snakes. Such a vast mountain forest, Thousands of people blended into it, making no waves.

Zhao Cheng led his men to march in the mountains and forests. In addition to strengthening the team, he also had the idea of ​​​​training troops.

The more people there are in a team, the harder it is to lead them, and various problems will arise. More people do not necessarily mean greater strength. On the contrary, it is easy to restrict each other and affect the display of strength. Therefore, as the number of people increases, time and time again Optimizing the organizational structure is a must-do.

Along the way, Zhao Cheng killed more than a dozen of the most unruly thorns in a row. The remaining people who were not very obedient were also dismissed from their original posts and demoted to soldiers to kill their temper. If they worked well, they would be killed. If you are promoted again and don't see results for a long time, you will be killed directly.

Zhao Cheng had not been able to kill Wang Shouzheng before because he had few people at that time and a bloody battle was approaching, which was when he needed people's hearts.

But now, he had close to five hundred soldiers and horses. Facing Huang Tian's remnants of no more than forty men at most, he would naturally take them life and death without any scruples.

He even took Huang Tian's Talisman Order and re-established the system in the name of Taoist Huang Tian, ​​calling himself General Ying Tian and obeying Huang Tian's orders!

He had nearly 500 people under his command, divided into three banners. Wei Ye and Lin Yi were in charge of one banner and one banner, and he himself directly commanded one banner.

Among them, Lin Yi originally wanted to commit meritorious service, saying that he wanted to kill five thieves to pay for the crime, but later Zhao Cheng just asked him to pick up several teams of troops, which was regarded as meritorious service.

The so-called credit can always be given to those in power if they want to.

Among these three flags, all the elites are gathered under his own command. The other two flags are just auxiliary. At the same time, his flag implements the last elimination system, and the extra positions are taken by the elites of the other two flags. Make up for it, thus creating a gap to stimulate the soldiers to improve.

As for the problem of military rations after there were more people, Zhao Cheng used Taoism and medicine to attract snakes, insects and wild beasts, and specially organized people and horses to hunt. In a short period of time, eating was not a problem.

With such a large number of troops, just when many soldiers thought that Zhao Cheng should go north, Zhao Cheng turned his troops and headed straight for Tianlang Village in the mountains and forests.

The night before the troops were to set out, Zhao Cheng once again summoned his generals. This time, unlike the scattered dozen people last time, various officers sat on both sides of the tent. Although their armor was worn out, they sat neatly and majestically, which gave them a certain momentum.

As for Zhao Cheng, he sat at the top. Although his body was not tall and even looked thin, his invisible demeanor overwhelmed everyone.

There were even a few soldiers who had the honor of seeing Huang Tiandao, and they couldn't help but have an illusion that the person sitting above was Huang Tiandao.

It was still the closest place to Zhao Cheng. It was only more than ten days before and after. When Wei Ye looked at the scene again and Zhao Cheng again, he felt mixed emotions.

He vaguely remembered that more than ten days ago, he and others were hunted down to the end of their ropes and had nowhere to escape.

But unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, there was such an achievement.

Although this big tent was barely put together, its momentum was not a bit weaker than those gorgeous big tents, and it was even more powerful.

The once impoverished Taoist priest was now even more unfathomable, which made him, a personal soldier who had always followed Zhao Cheng, a little afraid of him.

You know, in the past, although the Taoist priest was the leader and he was a subordinate in name, the relationship between the two was very close, and they could talk freely, but now, he dared not speak casually.
