Li Tianqu dispatched his staff and subordinates to successfully take over the three prefectures of Zibo Qing Army. Wang Shifan, Wang Shike, Wang Shihui, Wang Shilu... and more than 200 relatives, all moved to Xiaqiu, Yanzhou, waiting for Li Tianqu to appoint an official position.

Li Tianqu took the initiative to go out of the city to meet this friendly monarch who was willing to give his territory, army, households, and all his forces together. When they met again, the relationship between them changed. Wang Shifan and his brothers also volunteered and voluntarily stepped forward and said:

"See the king!"

Li Tianqu stepped forward to support him, and encouraged him with kind words, especially to Wang Shifan:

"In order to take into account the overall situation, my nephew is very wise. The Ziqing Army is attached to me, and it is all because of my nephew's morality. I will definitely not let you down such a righteous act."

Wang Shifan also made a repeated statement. Although he did not know that he had surrendered to Li Tianqu, he would not surrender to Zhu Wen according to his original trajectory, and ended up being miserable by the Yi tribe. Now that his fate of the Wang family has not only completely changed, since Wang Shifan decided to entrust the Ziqing Army to Li Tianqu, he suddenly felt much more relaxed, as if the big stone that had been pressing on his heart had finally disappeared.

Li Tianqu really treated Wang Shifan well. Not only was he named the deputy envoy of the Taining Army and the deputy governor of political affairs, he was also one of the highest-ranking officials in his own power. Wang Shifan is only in his twenties now, and Li Tianqu also intends to appoint him to recruit the people of several states who have been conquered one after another. As long as he is concerned about participating in the political and civilians and accumulating merits, the status he can fight for in the future is naturally of great value.

As for Wang Shifan's brothers Wang Shike, Wang Shihui, Wang Shilu and others, Li Tianqu entrusts them to take charge of the prefectures. Although these brothers of the Wang family are not good at managing the army and fighting wars, they are very good at managing local civil affairs. With Wang Shifan as the leader, they can also manage the political affairs of the Ziqing Army in an orderly manner in the past, making the people under the territory rich and the population prosperous.

Although it turned out to be a bargain, Zhu Wen was the one who attacked the army as if he had run into a large number of fat sheep... And now the strong generals and soldiers under Li Tianqu's command were already stationed in Zibo Qing army. It would be not that easy to invade the territory even if he was to be brave enough.

In this way, Wang Shifan and his brothers were appointed to each of them in the Taining Army and the local areas in the rear. Anyway, you should not participate in the war in the future.

After Wang Shifan, the former governor of Zibo Qing Army, Liu Xiu, the general of the vassal state, had also rushed to Xiaqiu and accepted Li Tianqu's appointment and dispatch.

"Since the lord is willing to join the king with the Ziqing Army, the last general Liu Xiu is willing to follow the stirrups and use it for the king!"

Li Tianqu naturally comforted Liu Xiu's attitude and encouraged him, and was still appointed as the military commander of the Cavalry and Infantry Commander of the Ziqing Army.

Although according to the historical trajectory, after Liu Xiu and Wang Shifan surrendered to Liang, they learned that the old master's clan was killed by Zhu Wen, he did not intend to rebel against the Liang Dynasty. The military official position in the army rose and became a prominent general in the Liang army. In the end, he could not avoid being jealous of the slander ministers and slandered the last emperor of Liang Zhu Youzhen, who avoided the battle, and ended up being coerced and killed with hatred...

But in fact, Liu Xiu, as the general who surrendered to the Liang Dynasty in the last time in the Ziqing Army, occupied Yanzhou and fought against Ge Congzhou. Until Zhu Wen sent someone to inform him that his master had surrendered, Liu Xiu gave up on resistance and led his troops out of the city. Then he rode a donkey to Bianzhou to accept Zhu Wen's appointment. If Wang Shifan did not surrender, Liu Xiu would still fight with the Liang army to the death and would definitely not betray the old master because of the situation in a critical way.

To guess Liu Xiu's thoughts, when Wang Shifan was killed by Zhu Wen, he was no longer a death as his lord. Since he had surrendered to Liang, he was discouraged and had to think more about his future. So Liu Xiu could only abide by Zhu Wen to kill his old master, while Li Tianquxin said that now he has turned to my command, so Liu Xiu would accept the fact that he would recognize his lord, and basically there is no need to doubt whether his loyalty would be wrong.

With his wisdom, Liu Xiu may have fought back and forth with famous generals such as Ge Congzhou and Li Cunxu, but it is also very likely that he will be killed and disguised as the top-level generals of the Five Dynasties. However, there are only a few famous generals and generals who are the most outstanding in commanding troops. If Liu Xiu commands a group of troops to deal with ordinary enemy generals, he should also be in hand. In a large-scale battle, Liu Xiu cooperates with other colleagues and subordinates, and is sure to be competent for the role of a military staff.

However, except for the direct subordinates led by Liu Xiu himself, the rest of the Yajun army were too poor. They all need to be transferred to the rear and trained troops well. They will never be as good as before. Although there are many people, they will collapse at the right time and will be killed in a flash.

After quickly taking over the arrangements for the official offices of the Ziqing Army and garrisoning military brigade, what Li Tianqu had to plan and deploy was to prepare for the largest battle with Zhu Wen so far. The first thing Li Tianqu did was to summon An Renyi, who was temporarily transferred to control the military affairs of the Jianghuai prefectures, and asked how the task he had previously ordered him to do was progress.

"According to the will of the king, I have examined the elite archers drawn from the various fangs and war departments. Among them, there are hunters, and shooting foxes and rabbits can roughly prevent the arrow from falling. Some people have excellent arm strength and can drive hard bows. If you say that you can penetrate the will of a hundred steps, it is probably reasonable. There are also those who are good at crossbows, which are the most skilled in crossbows under our army. They are the best at sniping, and have gathered more than 200 soldiers under our army. After the assessment of this, they can meet the conditions ordered by the king."

An Renyi reported in a deep voice, of course, according to his temperament, he must add a sentence when he is about to come:

"Although these elite crossbowmen are not as good as mine, they can be said to be a good player."

With the size of the army Li Tianqu is in charge of now, choosing the fang soldiers and crossbowmen of various units, and choosing the elite among the elites, will naturally gather many good players who are best at long-distance sniping. An Renyi followed the instructions of his lord and assessed the elite crossbowmen, but he still did not know Li Tianqu's intention to make such arrangements.

So in the study in the dental department, An Renyi couldn't help but look at the side with some confusion. In addition to Li Tianqu, Yu Wen, shortly after he killed the emperor and usurped the Tang Dynasty, he immediately turned against him. Ding Hui, the general who came to surrender, was also in the room. After thinking for a moment, An Renyi stopped asking:

"The Liang thieves repeatedly attacked each other, and our army joined forces with the Wu army Li Shenfu in Xu Si to kill Liang generals Pang Shigu and Guo Yan; and at the Yidu City of Qingzhou, Fu Cunshen, Gao Siji led his troops to attack and defeat the Liang army to win the capital, killing Zhu Wen's nephew Zhu Youning, but then he was defeated by Liang general Yang Shihou, and defeated General Huo Cun.

In this way, our army and the Liang army had a victory or defeat, and Zhu Wen had taken the initiative to attack. The king deployed and prepared to launch a large-scale counterattack, which would inevitably defeat the Liang thieves. Now I am ordering me to inspect and supervise these crossbow masters selected and transferred from various departments to use them for battle formations, but I don’t know what the king intended?”

After hearing An Renyi's puzzled question, Li Tianqu turned his head and looked at Ding Hui with a smile, then said:

"You can draw good archers and crossbows from various troops, but you don't have to use them for the time being. You have to wait until you and Zhu Wen lead the army and gather the main force as much as possible. When the battle is fought, you will be able to temporarily organize your sniper and kill troops into the front armies of each unit.

Because I had heard of the Liang army's method of governing and training troops, and now General Ding Hui has personally stated to confirm it. There is an extremely strict military order against the Liang army. As I think, there are also ways to make the array collapse when it is in front of the battle..."

Ding Hui nodded and echoed:

"The king is knowledgeable and has a clever idea. Although Zhu Wen is also good at managing the army and fighting, the thief is very strict and ruthless. Setting up that extremely severe and cruel military order has indeed been used to this day. The king's wonderful idea is to use Zhu Wen's methods of managing the army, and instead defeat the main army of Liang thieves in one fell swoop. I thought about it, such an arrangement should be successful!"
