The joy of victory is intertwined with hidden worries about the future, and the budding of trust coexists with old barriers.
Inside the Marshal's Mansion, a meeting concerning the rise and fall of power and future direction is underway.
Yinji sat in the main seat, Zhao Muyun and Mr. Zhou sat on both sides, and below were the original generals such as Li Mao, Xiao Cheyun, Xi Sheng, as well as Cao Jun and Liu Pan who had recently surrendered.
"General Cao, General Liu!"
Zhao Muyun got straight to the point, his tone calm yet full of unquestionable authority, "You two have returned. His Highness and I are most grateful for your welcome."
"But the military situation is urgent. Although Tuoba Xiong has temporarily retreated, he will not be willing to accept such a defeat. Han Yanshou's reinforcements are also on the way."
"The most urgent task is to consolidate our forces to meet the powerful enemy. Regarding the reorganization of your forces, what are your opinions?"
Cao Jun and Liu Pan felt nervous, knowing that the most critical moment had arrived.
The army is the foundation of their livelihood, and how it is reorganized is directly related to their future status and voice.
Cao Jun took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "General Zhao, please understand. Since we have surrendered to Your Highness, our troops will obey the orders of Your Highness and the general."
"It's just that...the soldiers from each unit have just joined, and their morale is still unsettled. If we suddenly break them up and reorganize them, there's a risk of accidents."
"I, the General, boldly request that we retain our original battalion organization for the time being. Brother Liu and I will continue to lead our troops. We must strictly discipline our troops, strictly abide by military orders, and serve Your Highness with all our might!"
This is the best condition they can strive for, retaining a certain degree of independence and command over their old subordinates.
Liu Pan also quickly added: "We are willing to sign a military order. If we have second thoughts, or if any of our subordinates violate military discipline, we will be punished by military law!"
The tent became quiet, and Li Mao, Xiao Cheyun, Xi Sheng and others looked at Zhao Muyun and Yin Ji with burning eyes.
The most important thing to avoid when incorporating surrendered troops is that they become too powerful to be eliminated. If they are allowed to maintain their independent organization, it will only create hidden dangers.
Mr. Zhou frowned slightly, and Yinji looked at Zhao Muyun, obviously leaving the decision-making power of this matter to his master.
