Before meeting with the generals, Zhao Ziliang first met with his son Zhao Ting to learn about the current status of the Beiting Army and other armies.
He learned that the morale of the soldiers was somewhat low because of the retreat of the previous defense line.
Zhao Ziliang decided to meet with the generals.
After the generals met, they went to Hangu Pass to inspect and improve their morale.
In the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang met with the generals and found that except for Chu Ge, Li Siye, and Li Sheng, the others were somewhat put on weight, so he asked: "Bai Xiaode, why do you all look so fat?"
Bai Xiaode and others said a little embarrassedly: "The commander-in-chief is not here, and there is no one to supervise our daily drills.
There has been no fighting on the front line for the past six months, so we have become a little slack."
Zhao Ziliang snorted: "What are you talking about without supervision?
I think you are just a little lazy.
Since you said there is no supervision, then from today on, I will supervise you.
But I heard that the military drills have been wasted for a lot of time, and the morale of the soldiers is low."
It's also relatively low.
How can we fight this if we continue like this?
After the meeting, you each go back and take care of the daily drills and military discipline of your subordinates.
I will send someone to investigate secretly.
If someone does not take my words seriously or is perfunctory, I will not let go.
It doesn’t matter who gets beaten, do you understand?”
The generals immediately said: "Yes, Commander" These people are all direct descendants of Zhao Ziliang.
They have been with him for many years.
Everyone knows his temper.
If you make a mistake and he gets angry with you and punishes you, it means that he values you very much.
But if If you make a mistake and he doesn't punish you, it means that you are hopeless and that he has given up on you in his heart.
Next, Zhao Ziliang asked everyone one by one about the situation in their respective armies and the movements and news of the rebels east of Hangu Pass.
After sending the generals back to the front line of Hangu Pass, Zhao Ziliang began to improve the various institutions of the Marshal's Mansion.
He first sent people to notify Zheng San and Cen Shen in Chang'an and asked them to rush to Shaanxi County to participate in the establishment and improvement of the various institutions of the Marshal's Mansion.
Du Fu was appointed as the counselor, and from now on The former counselor was promoted to the rank of counselor, which is a big improvement.
The counselor is just a personal staff, while the counselor is not only his staff, but also a formal official of the court.
His rank has reached the upper level of the sixth rank, and he can serve as a mid-level official in the local area.
The county magistrate.
Zhao Ziliang came to Du Fu and said, "I heard that Wang Wei is still at home in Chang'an."
Du Fu nodded and said: "Yes, something like that happened to him.
Although the commander-in-chief asked someone to intercede and stopped pursuing the case, the yamen of the imperial court did not dare to use him anymore, and he has not yet been able to enter the emperor's palace.
Dharma Eyes can’t go anywhere, so I can only stay at home and plant flowers and read.”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Du Fu: "In this case, you write a letter to Wang Jin, the Minister of Justice, saying that my Marshal's Mansion needs a mature and steady person to handle the paperwork, and ask him to ask Wang Wei to see if he is willing to come.
At any rate, he used to I have served as a judge in Hexi Jiedu.
I know more about military affairs than others and have much more experience.
If he is willing to come, I will reserve this position for him.
If he is not willing, I will ask him to reply as soon as possible.
I'm fine.
Go find someone else” Du Fu agreed: "Okay, Marshal."
"Well, you go and do your business," Zhao Ziliang said and started to handle official business.
Not long after Du Fu left, he came back again.
Zhao Ziliang looked up when he heard the voice and asked, "Why are you back again?"
Du Fu said: "Commander, Li Bai is outside the door asking to see you."
Zhao Ziliang said curiously: "I thought he continued to be his county magistrate in Luoyang.

Why did they come to Shaanxi County?"
Du Fu said with a smile: "Li Bai's temper is indeed a bit stubborn, but he is not stupid.
After the Beiting Army withdrew to Hangu Pass, when he saw something was wrong, he quickly ran into Hangu Pass.
He has been in Hangu Pass all year Walking around Guguan and Tongguan” Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Okay, let him come in."
Not long after, Li Bai was brought in by Du Fu.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang, he raised his hands in salute without bending.
Zhao Ziliang said, no wonder you can't be an official.
The emperor doesn't want to use you.
With your noble temperament, I'm afraid that in the future...
Can't eat anywhere.
“I’ve met the handsome man” Zhao Ziliang asked: "Li Bai, long time no see, where have you been hanging out recently?"
Li Bai's face turned red and he said: "Thanks to the commander-in-chief's concern, Li Bai has recently been enjoying the mountains and rivers in Tongguan and Hanguguan, talking about poetry and wine with friends."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Then why did you come to my place today?
I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to talk poetry and wine with you.
Besides, I don't understand poetry.
Poetry is such a high-end and classy thing.
I don't have the ability to play with it." ah" Li Bai felt a little embarrassed, coughed twice and said: "To be honest, Commander, I am here to ask for an official today."
Zhao Ziliang was shocked: "What did you say you asked for an official?
I heard you right.
Last year I asked you to be the magistrate of Luoyang County, but you couldn't do it well at all.
In the end, it was Du Fu who gave you an idea and forced you to go on the road.
It is said that the rebels attacked After Luoyang is near, if you see that the situation is not going well, immediately lead You ran away with your gold and silver, leaving all the people under your rule to the rebels, allowing the rebels to destroy and kill them.
I want to ask you, are you a parent official who is too heartless?
I'm sorry for you.
For your trust, I feel sorry for those who were harmed by the rebels.
Surname, what do you think?
You still come to me to ask for an official position now.
Do you think I can let you continue to be an official?
If you must be an official, that’s fine.
Because we have known each other for many years, I will let you be an official.
As a petty official in our army, you cannot become a local official because you You can't do it at all with your current talent and experience.
You start as a groom in our army.
If you can accept the job of a groom calmly and do it well, it means that you are qualified to hold a higher position.
Otherwise, you will only be able to work in a higher position for the rest of your life.
If nothing happens, think about it yourself.”
Li Bai's face was a little ugly, and his heart was very sad.
Why do people in the world treat me like this?
What did I do wrong?
Du Fu tugged at Li Bai's sleeves, and Li Bai turned to look at Du Fu.
Seeing him blinking and nodding slightly, out of trust in Du Fu, Li Bai gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll start as a groom.
I don't believe you."
Can’t even be a groom” Zhao Ziliang sneered and said: "That's not necessarily the case.
Being a groom is a technical job, and the groom is not as easy as you think.
Come, take him to the military horse officer, let him be a groom, and find someone to teach him how to feed and raise horses. , tame horses, and shoe horses.
If he doesn't learn seriously, he can be beaten or scolded.

If he doesn't obey, let him go."
Li Bai's face darkened after hearing this, and he almost turned around and left, but Du Fu held him back.
After two or three days in town, Zheng San and Cen Shen came over from Chang'an respectively.
Zhao Ziliang met with them for a while and exchanged greetings.
He asked about the situation of raising food, military pay and armaments over the past year, and learned that the imperial court was still not harsh on the army in this regard. , what should be supplied is still sufficient, which reassures Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang said to several aides: "Encourage Hangu Pass to have an army of 110,000 people, of which the main force of the Beiting Army is 40,000.
Although some were lost in previous battles, they were replenished afterwards, so the number did not decrease.
In addition, there are 10,000 cavalry composed of surrendered troops commanded by Zhao Ting, and Li Sheng There are also 10,000 infantrymen composed of surrendered soldiers under his command.
Li Siye has 50,000 infantrymen under his command.
Now, after one or two years of training, this 70,000-strong army composed of surrendered soldiers is still inferior to the main force of the Beiting Army in terms of combat strength. , but they are already familiar with the Beiting Army's fighting methods, and now they are fighting according to the Beiting Army's fighting methods.
However, they do not belong to the battle sequence of the Beiting Army, and there are many inconveniences in terms of naming and command.
Besides, we cannot always treat them differently, so we are thinking about whether to integrate all 70,000 people into the Beiting Army.
Tingjun no longer treats them differently, and their military pay and treatment are also the same as those in the North.
The Ting army treats everyone equally.
On the one hand, it can improve their morale and combat capabilities.
On the other hand, it also facilitates our command and increases the strength of the Beiting army.
In addition, I use the winter truce period to conduct a major training and reorganization of the entire army to form a new The purpose of organizing and combat units is of course to make it easier to command.”
Cen Shen's military insights were much deeper than those of Zheng San, Du Fu and others.
He said: "There are many benefits to the commander-in-chief's doing this.
I think it is feasible, but if it is to be reorganized, I don't know what the commander-in-chief has planned."
Zhao Ziliang took out a reorganization plan he had drafted and handed it to Cen Shen, saying, "Take a look at this first."
While Cen Shen was watching, Zhao Ziliang said to other staff: "My idea is to divide the entire army into several armies, namely the front army, the middle army, the rear army, the left army, the right army, the ranger army, the archer army, The heavy cavalry army, Modao army, etc., the main forces of the five armies in the front, left, center and right are infantry.
Equipped with a small amount of cavalry, the Modao Army is a special arm, all of which are infantry, while the Rangers, Archers, and Heavy Cavalry are all cavalry.
Of course, judging from our current military situation, the Rangers The scale should be the largest, and the scales of other armies are relatively smaller."
Next, Zhao Ziliang introduced in detail the specific situation of the organization, the number of combatants under each organization, the name of the commander, etc.
Under the new organization, the commander of the army is called the military envoy, and his deputy is the deputy military envoy.
Generally, he has jurisdiction over 12,000 people.
However, some armies have special circumstances and do not have so many people.
The army has three departments, each with three people.
There are between 1,000 and 4,000 people.
The chief of a department is called a general, and his deputy is called a deputy general.
Each department has three battalions, and each battalion has more than a thousand soldiers.
The chief of a battalion is called a captain, and his deputy is called Guoyi. ; Each battalion has three villages under its jurisdiction, and each village has three hundred soldiers.
There are four hundred people, and the commander of the village is called the captain, and his deputy is called the deputy commander.
Each village has three capitals, each with one hundred to one hundred and twenty soldiers.
The commander of the capital is called the captain, and the deputy is called the deputy captain.
The deputy head of the capital; each capital has three teams, with between thirty and forty soldiers.
The leader of the team is called the team officer, and the deputy is called the team deputy; each team has three groups, and each group has ten soldiers.
From one person to thirteen people, the leader of the group is called the group leader, and the deputy is called the deputy group leader
