In the battle of crossing the east, ten thousand people were captured.
These were all precious fighting forces. With a wave of his hand, Sun Ce distributed these captives to the generals to serve as "troops".
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dukes rose. In order to rope in powerful generals, the dukes would give up their military power.
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led their troops to surrender, and Sun Ce appointed them as the "other division commanders", still commanding the troops they had brought.
Especially in Jiangdong, this system was very obvious and was referred to as the "private army system".
After a general died, most of his troops would be passed down to his descendants. In history, Ling Tong inherited Ling Cao's troops.
The Records of the Three Kingdoms recorded:
"I'll appoint you as Lieutenant Su to lead the army on behalf of Yu. Zhou Yu had more than 4,000 soldiers. The four counties of Fengyi belong to him."
After Zhou Yu died, he handed over 4,000 private soldiers to Lu Su.
"Lu Su is dead, Meng Xi is stationed at Lukou, Su's army of more than ten thousand men belongs to Meng.”
"Kang, also known as Youjie, is Sun Ce's grandson. At the time of Lu Xun's death, he was twenty years old and was appointed as a lieutenant of Jianwu, leading Lu Xun's 5,000 men.”
These were all historical records.
When a war was about to break out, the generals would lead their private armies and select a highly respected " Viceroy " to be the commander.
This was the best way for the dukes to gather.
Xue Li and Zuo Rong only respected Liu Yao as the leader of the alliance, not a true retainer.
Xiang Yu had worked hard and made great contributions. Sun Ce gave him 2,000 soldiers to choose from among the captives.
He wanted Zhou Tai to be the deputy general but was rejected by Sun Ce. Instead, he brought Jiang Qin's troops into his troops and arranged for Qin Song to be the main registrar.
Qin Song, also known as Wenbiao, was born in Guangling County, Xuzhou. He was in the same county as Zhang, and his reputation was not inferior to Zhang.
Xiang Yu did not know that there was such a person in Sun Ce's army.
However, from the conversation between Sun Ce and Qin Song, it could be seen that Sun Ce thought highly of this person.
Sun Ce's generous distribution of the 'private troops' was mainly to turn these 10,000 captives into combat strength as quickly as possible.
Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and the other veterans were also rewarded.
In order to win the hearts of the people as soon as possible, Xiang Yu went to visit Jiang Qin.
When he was defending Niuzhu Camp, he had suffered some superficial injuries. It would take at least a month for him to recover.
As the Tiger Minister of Jiangbiao, Jiang Qin was resolute, open-minded, and valued keeping promises. He admired Xiang Yu very much.
"At first, I thought that joining the army was just a civilian job. I didn't expect you to be so fierce when you charge into the enemy's ranks.”Jiang Qin cupped his fists and said.
His life was saved, but the dangers of the battlefield were everywhere.
No one knew what would happen next.
Xiang Yu was young, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His heroic spirit was imposing, and his temperament was very similar to Sun Ce's.
"With Gongyi's talent, he's enough to be the commander of another division.”Xiang Yu bowed deeply.
Jiang Qin stood up and said in a clear voice,"
"Don't say that when you join the army. If I follow you, will I be afraid of not getting merit points?”
"I only have one life, I don't fear death. He was so afraid of death that he didn't have any merit points left.”
"That's really unlucky!"
"You rascal, are you here to trick me?" Xiang Yu scolded. Troubled times have not yet been determined, talk about life and death, follow Bo Fu, why worry about not being able to be granted a marquis?”
"Hehe."
"How can it be enough to become a marquis? You can even do things like becoming a wolf, a fox, and a stone!”
Jiang Qin grinned, not caring about the pain he was feeling.
"That's right, recuperate well. When you recover, I'll return you a strong army. At that time, we'll roam the River East together.”Xiang Yu's words moisten his feelings, and his heroic spirit rises to the clouds.
Jiang Qin's blood boiled as he listened.
"My brothers, if you join the army, feel free to train. If you disobey, you will be punished by military law.”
"Don't worry." Xiangyu promised.
Jiang Qin's troops were also incorporated into Xiang Yu's troops.
The two of them chatted for a long time until Qin Song came. He had an anxious expression and said in a deep voice,
"Reporting to the army, there's a situation.”
He explained the situation in detail.
It turned out that Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and the other old generals had taken a large share of the distribution of weapons and equipment. They had left some spears and halberds for Xiangyu Tribe, and very few sabers, shields, and armors.
"Who is in charge of managing the equipment?”Xiang Yu asked.
"Zhang Zibu." Qin Song replied.
Zhang Zibu, also known as Zhang Zhao.
In order to escape the chaos of war, Zhang Zhao crossed south to Yangzhou.
Sun Ce invited him to come out of the mountain and appointed him as the chief historian.
Knowing that Zhang Zhao was in charge, Xiang Yu was not in a hurry.
Since Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and the others could shamelessly ask for supplies, Xiangyu could do the same.
As his fame grew, more and more people paid attention to him.
His every move would be seen by others. If he suffered a small loss today, there would be trouble waiting for him tomorrow.
Moreover, there was no need for Xiangyu to gain everyone's support. Before he was absolutely powerful, this was the path to disaster.
Thus, he gathered his soldiers and aggressively asked Zhang Zhao for an explanation.
Zhang Zhao waved his sleeves calmly.
Their gazes seemed to collide with sparks, exploding in the middle.
