Su Dingfang rode on a horse with Du Qi, but the speed was not fast. He was suddenly notified by Du Qi, but he didn't feel anything wrong, after all, he had surrendered to Du Qi. After Su Dingfang stood still, he said, "Your Majesty summoned the ministers, what is the matter?"
Du Qi said: "Ding Fang, you surrendered to the queen in Guazhou City. Up to now, you have never been assigned an official position. Even after the soldiers under your command surrendered together, they have been broken up and reorganized into the army. In your heart , have you ever had any resentment?"
"Never!"
Su Dingfang shook his head and said with a smile: "I believe that the king will give me and the soldiers under his command a proper arrangement. All of us will not be treated harshly."
Du Qi said: "Your mentality is really good."
Speaking of which, Du Qi appreciates Su Dingfang not only because of Su Dingfang's ability, but also because of Su Dingfang's excellent mentality, his calm handling of things, and his wisdom and understanding. This is a rare and rare ability. There are many capable people, but few capable and calm people.
Du Qidao: "Stand aside, let's sit down and talk."
At this moment, there are trees on the side of the road, just to sit down and chat under the shade of the trees. This kind of atmosphere is more relaxed, and there will be no formal and serious atmosphere, which is exactly what Du Qi needs.
The two stopped on the side of the road.
And Mo Ledo and Guan Zhilan also stopped, after all, they are Du Qi's personal followers.
Du Qi and Su Dingfang sat opposite each other, and Du Qi said: "You have been under my command for the past few days, and you have become familiar with a lot of personnel and the combat effectiveness of the army. You should also know the structure of my army."
Su Dingfang said: "The current division of the army is mainly Xue Rengui's first army, Xiao Yuanqi's second army, and Ma Yuan's third army. As for the standing army, it is these three armies. As for the forbidden army, it is Mo Ledo Leading the army, Commander Moledo doesn¡¯t have many troops, but they are all elite, responsible for protecting the king¡¯s safety.¡±
Du Qi nodded and said: "That's right, it's basically such an arrangement. Now that you have surrendered to me, my initial plan is to form a fourth army as the fourth standing army of Xia Kingdom."
"All the troops under your command have been broken up and rushed into the remaining three armies, and there are no troops assigned to you. So next, you have to recruit soldiers separately to form the fourth army."
"The number of the fourth army under your command is set at 40,000. Now the remaining three armies, after taking down Hou Junji's army, have reorganized Hou Junji's troops, plus your soldiers, the number It has climbed from 30,000 to 40,000."
Du Qi said: "So the number of the current standing army should also be increased. According to this plan, the four armies with 160,000 troops are the standing army of our Xia Kingdom."
160,000 is not a small amount.
But for Du Qi today, for Xia Guo today, it's actually not too much, because Du Qi needs such strength. Only such a force can support Du Qi to ensure the safety of the Xia Kingdom and prepare for the future Western Expedition.
Su Dingfang was a little surprised when he heard it. He had just surrendered to Du Qi, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Du Qi, and he led an army alone to form the Fourth Army.
Su Dingfang thought for a while, and said solemnly: "My lord, I'm afraid this is not right."
Du Qi said: "Why not?"
Su Dingfang replied: "The reason is very simple. I have just surrendered to the king in a humble position. A person who has just surrendered, but is in charge of an army alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the crowd."
Du Qi said: "There is nothing you can't convince the public. You are strong enough to convince the public. And you are strong enough to be the commander of the Fourth Army. No one dares to say anything."
Su Dingfang is not an indecisive person, nor does he want to retreat. Now that Du Qi has said so, he has already given the opportunity to him. If he can't grasp it, he will be too sorry for Du Qi's trust.
Su Dingfang threw the ground and said loudly: "I thank the King Long En, I will live up to the king's high expectations."
He didn't say anything more.
Respond directly.
Seeing Su Dingfang's attitude, Du Qi smiled more on his face, and praised: "I believe in you, and after the soldiers under your command are integrated into the army, you don't have to worry about them. They enjoy the same treatment as soldiers in the army. It will be a disadvantage. Moreover, the salaries of lieutenant officers in our army are much higher than those of Datang."
Su Dingfang said: "The subject has already understood, it is indeed as His Majesty said, and everyone has already turned their hearts to the King."
After a pause, Su Dingfang continued: "Don't worry, my lord, I will handle the affairs of the Fourth Army well. If you don't understand, I will not pretend to understand, and will ask and study carefully.So, let's take a look and see what's going on. The things in this world are weird and weird, which is really surprising. Unexpectedly, even this king has a clone. "
Shangguanyi followed aside, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, someone must have faked your identity and took the opportunity to make money. When you were in Yizhou, your Majesty's identity was made public, and he also talked about the private visit of Weifu. In addition, you have traveled all the way from Gaochang Come along, many people know about the private visit of the king in Weifu. So some people use this cover to make money. The minister judged that this is definitely an opportunity to make money."
Ma Zhou said in a deep voice, "This matter must be severely punished."
Lai Ji said with a murderous look: "It's not just a severe punishment. Even if the nine clans are implicated, it is not an exaggeration. Dare to pretend to be a king to cheat, this is no longer an ordinary crime."
Guan Zhilan said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, these people are really heinous. They think that Your Majesty defeated the Tang Army at the border, and they will definitely return to Gaochang with the army. So they pretend to be His Majesty's private visit, and they don't worry about being exposed. These people It must be dealt with, if the chickens are not killed, the consequences will be disastrous."
Du Qi waved his hand and said: "The matter of how to deal with it is put on hold for now, let's take a look first. Let's go, let's also go to Mingqiu Mountain to see what kind of moth this fake King Xia is going to make."
He was actually curious.
What kind of person dares to impersonate him.
A group of people adjusted their direction and went to Mingqiu Mountain. Fortunately, it was not far from Mingqiu Mountain. It was only more than ten miles away, and You Qi and his group speeded up their journey. In less than an hour, they arrived at the village at the foot of Mingqiu Mountain.
