I'm a marquis in Datang

"

Mo Qiu said: "I beg King Xia to accept it with a smile."

"Please accept it, King Xia."

In the crowd, someone shouted again.

"Please accept it, King Xia."

"Please accept it, King Xia."

...

The shouts one after another echoed in the air.

More and more people shouted together. Although there were only a thousand people shouting together, there was no decisive spirit, no overwhelming momentum, but it represented the heart of all the people and the gratitude of all the people.

Du Qi looked at the people, but a strong sense of pride rose in his heart.Because this scene represented his governance in the Xia Kingdom, and he was supported by the people and recognized by the people.

Du Qi waited quietly, and after a long time, all the people stopped talking, and Du Qicai said: "My fellow villagers, I thank you for your hard work, thank you."

While talking, Du Qi bowed to thank everyone, and seeing Du Qi's politeness, Mo Qiu quickly declined

, All the people said it was unnecessary.At the same time, with a wave of Mo Qiu's hand, the people began to step forward, bringing sheep one by one into the barracks, and handing the flocks to the soldiers in the army.

It took about half an hour before the handover was completed.

Mo Qiu bowed and said, "King Xia, I will take my leave."

But Du Qi said: "Old Mo, since you are here, why leave in a hurry. It is rare for the folks to come here. I arranged for people to kill all the sheep and eat meat and soup together tonight. Although there is no wine in the army, But it’s also good to eat meat and drink soup and talk together. Mo Lao and others are full of fists, I am grateful, please don’t refuse.”

The people are very kind, if Du Qi lets him go, he will do a terrible job.Now that the people are here, Du Qi persuades them to keep them for a meal, which will make the people return to their hearts.

It's just a sentence.

When Mo Qiu heard this, he hurriedly said: "King Xia, there is no need to do this, there is no need to do this. We are here to deliver mutton to reward the soldiers who fought hard. How can we have dinner with the soldiers."

Du Qi said: "There's nothing wrong with it, because only the soldiers can eat when you come to deliver the sheep. All the soldiers in this army should be grateful to you. That's the matter, let's all eat together."

When Mo Qiu heard the words, he no longer declined.

He immediately notified it, and all the people became excited when they heard it.All the people who sent mutton and meat never wanted to stay.But now that Du Qi asked them to stay and eat, they were even more grateful to Du Qi.

Du Qi asked people to kill the sheep and deal with the dead horses.There are war horses that died on the battlefield, and it is a pity to throw away these horse meat, so these war horses were originally in the army, and they were disposed of together with the mutton.

There are enough cooks in the army, and the common people are helping, so the processing is very fast.Before dark, everything is done and cooking begins.Along with the cooking of mutton and horse meat, as well as the processing of pasta and rice, the whole camp has been lingering with the smell of food.

There are also torches in the camp.

All the soldiers gathered in the empty school field in the camp.

More than [-] people gathered together.

Among this group of people, some of them surrendered with Su Dingfang.These people have never participated in the war, but now they are all under Du Qi's command and they are all together.

The people in the army are grouped together by dozens of people, and it is very lively.

The entire school grounds were as bright as day.

At a glance, the black crowd is overcrowded, but each and every one of them has joyful expressions on their faces, and they have their own characteristics.

The color of Hao, and all the meals have been presented separately.

There is enough meat for tonight, so everyone's meal is full.Although there was no drink to add to the fun during this meal, the host and guest had a good time after the meal.

Because it was getting dark, Du Qi asked the people to stay and rest, and the people did not leave until the next morning.But Du Qi's army rested for a day and set off to return.

However, when the army was marching, Du Qi specially called Su Dingfang to his side, preparing to arrange Su Dingfang's position.Because he had been busy before, he didn't have time to make arrangements. Now that the matter is over, Du Qi can make adjustments.

Chapter 968 The Fourth Giant

fourth giant

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 smiled: "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, what Du Qi appreciates about Su Dingfang is not only Su Dingfang's ability, but also because Su Dingfang has an excellent mentality, is calm in handling things, and is wise and understanding, which 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."

There are trees on the side of the road at this moment, just to sit and chat under the shade of the trees.This kind of atmosphere is more relaxed, and there will be no formal and serious atmosphere.

This is exactly what Du Qi needs.

The two stopped on the side of the road.

Mo Ledo and Guan Zhilan also stopped, after all, they were 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 the 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. And now that you have surrendered to me, my initial plan is to form a fourth army as the fourth standing army of our 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 4. Now the remaining three armies have reorganized Hou Junji's troops after taking down Hou Junji's army.

Including the reorganization of your soldiers, the number has climbed from [-] to [-]. "

Du Qi said: "So the number of the current standing army should also be increased. According to this plan, the four armies will have 16 people, which are the standing army of our Xia Kingdom."

16 is not a small number.

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 is it wrong?"
