I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 244 Military Camp, Wei Qing

The next day, Su Ye rushed to the new army camp outside Cangling City without stopping.

The accompanying guards, General Xuanwu and General Xu Chu, followed closely behind. The soft clanging of their armor was particularly clear in the morning light.

Su Ye walked through the military camp, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's, not missing a single corner.

He saw the soldiers' backs, though exhausted, still straight, and the determination and expectation shining in their eyes.

Although these new soldiers had not yet been tempered by war, their high morale pleased Su Ye.

However, his purpose for this trip was not merely to conduct an inspection.

Of course, his goal on this trip was not these 30,000 new soldiers.

There was another important person he wanted to meet—Wei Qing.

Wei Qing, a captain whose name was not well-known in the new army, but was deeply remembered by Su Ye.

Su Ye walked through the military camp. His arrival was not announced in advance, so the soldiers were somewhat surprised and nervous when they saw him.

But Su Ye didn't care about any of that; his gaze was searching for that familiar figure.

Finally, on a training ground, Su Ye saw Wei Qing training soldiers.

He was dressed in a simple military uniform, with a tall and straight posture and a heroic air about him.

Su Ye stepped forward and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"This humble general pays his respects to my lord."

Upon seeing this, Wei Qing immediately bowed respectfully.

"Zhongqing, you may rise. I heard about your outstanding performance in the new army while I was at the governor's mansion, so I came to see you."

Su Ye said with a smile.

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept over the soldiers around Wei Qing, noticing that although they were tired, they were in high spirits and well-trained.

"You flatter me, my lord. This is all I should do."

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard Su Ye's words, but then quickly came to his senses.

"I've seen your talent and hard work."

"But I have another reason for coming here tonight."

Su Ye nodded and said.

"Your sister, Wei Zifu, is my maid, and she keeps talking about you in my ear."

"I'm very curious about what kind of family could raise such outstanding talents like you."

He paused for a moment and then continued.

That's nonsense. Wei Zifu only came out for a day, so why would she be constantly being mentioned?

However, no one bothers to verify this absurd reason.

Wei Qing felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, knowing that his sister had always been silently caring for him.

"You flatter me, my lord. My sister and I are from ordinary families, and our achievements today are entirely due to our own hard work and good fortune."

He looked up into Su Ye's deep eyes and said.

"Luck is also a part of ability. But I can see that you two siblings have extraordinary ambitions and talents."

Su Ye smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"So, Zhongqing, what are your thoughts on this new army?"

He paused, then looked into Wei Qing's eyes and asked.

Wei Qing paused, then instantly realized that Su Ye was testing him.

Although he didn't know why his older sister was so important in Su Ye's eyes, he only mentioned her briefly.

Judging from this situation, as long as they don't mess things up, it seems like the two siblings are about to take off.

"Governor, although the new army is in high spirits, it lacks combat experience. My lord could appropriately strengthen combat drills to improve the soldiers' fighting capabilities."

"in addition..."

Despite his many thoughts, Wei Qing quickly composed himself, gathered his thoughts, and said in a deep voice.

Facing Su Ye's deep gaze, he paused for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts.

The silence at that moment seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

"My lord, the new army is indeed quite strong, but if I may be so bold, they are currently too mediocre."

Finally, he spoke, his voice filled with determination.

Wei Qing's words made Su Ye raise an eyebrow slightly, but he did not interrupt, instead quietly waiting for what was to come.

"This new army is indeed a force to be reckoned with. They are well-trained, disciplined, and capable of demonstrating remarkable strength on the battlefield."

Wei Qing first affirmed the strengths of the new army, then changed the subject and continued, "However, there is something that I find very difficult to say. Although the new army is powerful, it appears too mediocre and lacks unique characteristics and advantages."

He looked up at Su Ye, his eyes flashing with determination: "In my opinion, a truly standard army should not only have strong combat capabilities, but also its own unique characteristics and soul."

"Only such an army can be invincible on the battlefield and become the enemy's nightmare."

"However, the current new army, although brave, lacks this quality."

Wei Qing's voice gradually lowered.

"What Cangzhou needs now is not just a powerful army, but an elite force that can play a decisive role at critical moments."

"This new army is clearly not yet capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility."

Su Ye raised an eyebrow slightly as he listened to Wei Qing's words.

He naturally understood Wei Qing's meaning and was also aware of the problems that the new army currently faced.

Indeed, this is an army without any distinctive features or advantages.

Although it was the largest army that Li Shanchang and his men had just trained.

However, it was only used to supplement the ordinary county soldiers who were currently in short supply in Cangzhou.

The best outcome would be nothing more than becoming Li Jing's reserve force in Qizhou.

Even if you're unlucky.

Given the manpower shortage, he might have been directly transferred to Li Jing's Qizhou front line to serve as cannon fodder.

But Wei Qing's meaning is clearly not like that now.

Su Ye felt a surge of joy.

He vaguely remembered that the famous Imperial Guards and Imperial Cavalry of the Han Dynasty were related to Wei Qing.

The Imperial Guards, originally known as the Jianzhang Cavalry, were renamed the Imperial Guards in 104 BC during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and became a famous imperial guard.

"Fearing that the power of the lieutenant was too great, the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Gate Guards were established within the Guanglu Xun (a high-ranking official's office), and only then was the power of the northern and southern armies balanced."

In other words, the "Yulin" was a guard unit under the "Guanglu Xun".

They selected good men from six counties, including Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Xihe, to guard Jianzhang Palace. Initially called Jianzhang Camp Cavalry, they were later renamed Yulin Cavalry, meaning "to be the wings of the country, as flourishing as a forest".

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were called Yulin Lang, and in later generations, the Imperial Guards were also often referred to as Yulin.

The Imperial Guards had seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four execution rules, were highly disciplined and extremely powerful, and were therefore highly valued by Emperor Wu.

Famous generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing all came from the Imperial Guard.

"Zhongqing, you are right."

"A new army really needs to find its own characteristics and advantages in order to become a truly standard army."

Su Ye looked at Wei Qing, who had his head slightly bowed, and slowly spoke.

Wei Qing was overjoyed upon hearing this, knowing that his suggestion had been approved by his lord.
