In the morning of Shanghai Village, I woke up to the sound of horses' hooves again, and this time it was not only the villagers who woke up, but also the cavalry of the Wei team stationed in the west of the village, and of course, the new soldier Duanmuxu.

A group of cavalry stopped at a distance and did not come any further. The men and horses of the Wei team were also on standby, confronting the cavalry in the distance.

"Is that Wei Zongliang's Wei team?" someone shouted.

"Exactly. Ma Niu'er was instructed by Wei Zongliang and responded loudly.

"I am Liu Zhicheng of the Heavenly Wolf Battalion in Wuchuan Military Town, and I have heard our Wei army wait to mention the bravery of the Wei team. ”

"Team Liu, please have something to say. The other party reported his name, and he had heard Wei Zongming mention the name of this person, so Wei Zongliang urged him to take a step forward and answer.

"I don't know if the Wei team led the troops through this military town, is there a military order from the envoy?" After some politeness, Liu Zhicheng went straight to the point and made clear the intention of today's coming. It is a great dereliction of duty for soldiers to cross the border without knowing it.

"There is no military order from the Lord of the Temperance. Wei Zongliang was not timid, but his answer caused a commotion among the opposing cavalry.

"Then what does the Wei team mean by entering the place of my garrison without permission?" Liu Zhicheng's voice suddenly became much colder.

"On this march, although there is no military order from the Commander, this team also has a military order from the Captain. There are recruits who have voted for my Huaishuo military town, and the road is not familiar, so they sent their own team to bring them back. Please forgive me for any interruptions. ”

Crossing the border without permission is said to be picking up lost recruits. How can this be convincing? Liu Zhicheng naturally did not believe it.

Wei Zongliang didn't care whether the other party believed it or not, he only needed one reason, the reason given by the captain.

"Wei Zongliang, don't deceive people too much. After crossing the border without authorization, and the festival makes the adults know, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear such consequences. ”

"Wei only listens to military orders, and is not afraid of anything else. ”

Liu Zhicheng was only ordered to come to inspect the situation in Shanghai Village, but he never thought that he had encountered the leading army's cross-border march, whether to fight or retreat? For a while, it was difficult for him to make a decision.

......

There are some things that make it difficult to decide.

Some people can dare to make decisions.

Shi Jiwei, the captain of Huaishuo Military Town, is such a person. And one of his decisions was the encounter between the two armies in Shanghai Village.

A few days ago, a letter sent by my father was urgent, which not only contained the anger of the queen's aunt, but also the reprimand of my father, angrily scolding her for making an unauthorized claim and almost making a big mistake.

He held his breath and finally read his father's letter, then crumpled it up and set it aside, and then slowly picked up the other letter that had come with it, and read it slowly.

"Master Jiwei gave advice:

Humble and weak scholars, miserable in the middle of the family, then abandoned the pen to Rong, thanks to the support of the adult, tired of the official to Hulan Lieutenant, this is the grace of the encounter. In the army, the adults do not use their humble positions to be dull, but to give humble positions to the way of leading the army, which is the grace of the profession. In the barracks, adults do not come from humble backgrounds, they are indecent and humiliated, and regard lowly duties as robes, which is the righteousness of brothers. is so gracious, even if the humble position is broken, it is really difficult to repay it. ......

It bears both the grace of the saint and the high expectations of the adults. The great mistake has been made, and it is difficult to recover it if it is covered with water, and it is difficult to atone for his sins if he dies in a humble position. If there is reincarnation in the world, the humble position is willing to be tied to the grass in the world to repay kindness. Nostalgic old pawns wept bloodily. ”

When reading the words "nostalgic old pawn", Shi Jiwei's hand holding the letter paper suddenly clenched, and he couldn't help shaking.

"Idiot. He didn't blame Li for the trouble he had inadvertently caused, but sighed secretly, as if he was chatting with this loyal subordinate. "Then the affairs in Xianjing City, how can you participate in it, and give your life in vain. And you, too, have mistaken me, where is the grace of knowing and encountering, but you are just a victim of the discord between father and son. ”

"I still remember receiving a letter from my father a few years ago, stating that I would not consider myself for this promotion. The emperor is very taboo about the military power on the prince's side, and if he rises too fast, it will inevitably cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. The Queen's aunt decided that until the crown prince succeeded to the throne and ascended to the throne, I could take up the position of lieutenant at most. ”

"I am determined to be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and to build a meritorious cause for the emperor for all generations. I am strict in governing the army, and even stricter in self-discipline, that is, to build a division of tigers and wolves. Now that Zhao Jiancheng does not ascend the throne for a day, I will not be able to come out for a day. How can I be willing?"

"That day, I went to Xiaowan's wine shop, drank some wine, and chatted for a while. Who would have thought that you would meet you, a drunken scholar. A weak scholar wants to join the army and wants to be a captain, and many people may scoff at it. But I listened, and it was exactly what I wanted. If you don't let me be promoted, you can always let my people be promoted. ”

"But your boy's performance in the barracks really impresses me. That time I went out to patrol, I never thought that I would encounter a group of horse bandits, but you protected me without regard for your life, and I almost couldn't survive with several knife wounds on my body. ”

"Later, the captain of Hulan Military Town became vacant, this is a good opportunity, although I am a little reluctant, I will still help you transfer. I never thought that it would cost you your life. ”

"Fortunately, your family vendetta has been avenged, but the inside story is not as simple as avenging your personal vengeance, it is incidental. You kid don't have to tie the grass and tie the ring, you won't recognize each other in the next life, maybe you can be a worry-free scholar. ”

"That's it. I've been nagging you for so long, it's time for me to do something. Since the above wants me to be a lieutenant forever, then I will only be a lieutenant. ”

"Come, pass on the battalions. Shi Jiwei burned all the letters and shouted to the outside world.

After all the troops under his command were in place, "pass my order and go to Shuokou Village, as well as Shanghai Village and Xiahuang Village, to recruit troops." ”

The soldiers of each battalion looked at each other to confirm whether they had heard any errands, and went to Shanghai Village and Xiahuang Village to recruit troops, which was not crossing the border to rob people.

"Shanghai Village belongs to Wuchuan Military Town, and Xiahuang Village belongs to Huaihuang Military Town," Cao Dacheng, a military officer of the Shenwu Battalion, reminded softly.

"I know the map well and know where it is. Do you need me to repeat the military order?" Shi Jiwei looked around at the soldiers.

"Humble command. ”

The robbery operation in Huaishuo Military Town began, and Duanmuxu happened to meet in Shanghai Village.

......

The confrontation in Shanghai Village was stalemate after another team from Huaishuo Military Town in the east of the village rushed to rendezvous.

A team of patrolling cavalry met two teams of robbing cavalry, and Liu Zhicheng pondered how to retreat without losing face. Since there is no military order from above to start the war, and the number of people is at a disadvantage, he will definitely not do the business of losing money. The other party's cross-border march should be reported to the military officer and the lieutenant after returning.

He looked at Liu Daneng, Zhao Jiang'er and Zhao Hammerzi beside him, and suddenly had an idea. "Great power, handle and hammer, the face of our Sky Wolf Camp is up to you today. ”

"What do you have to order Team Liu?" the three of them gathered around.

"Than archery. ”

"Nothing else, we don't care about drawing a bow and shooting arrows. ”

With the statements of these three people, Liu Zhicheng shouted to the opposite side, "Team Wei, today's matter, it is better to draw a line." ”

"What's the way?"

"The cavalry's housekeeping skills are bows and arrows, so you might as well send three people each, shoot at each other at three hundred paces, and whichever side is shot more will leave here. ”

"Okay, that's it. ”

Although Wei Zongliang agreed to the other party's test method, he also calculated in his heart that Wei Zongming had boasted of his Heavenly Wolf Battalion's archery skills when he had a private gathering before, which must be not bad. With a range of three hundred paces, there are only Ma Niu Er in the team, oh no, there is also the newcomer.

He turned around to find Duanmu Xu, "Bai Xu, is the archery accurate?"

"Exactly. ”

"Okay, you'll be on later. ”

Three men on each side, three hundred paces away, each armed with a hard bow and carrying a quiver with three arrows in it.

Ma Niu'er turned sideways to Duanmu Xu and said, "Bai Xu, you can be clever later, with a range of three hundred steps, the arrow may be off." ”

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh"

"Oops, my ass. The horse fell to the ground on its side, and an arrow was stuck in its buttocks.

When Liu Daneng of the Heavenly Wolf Battalion in Wuchuan Military Town took advantage of Ma Niu'er's sideways inattention, the three of them each had an arrow, and one of the arrows was shot, but fortunately, they were far away and the arrow power was weak.

There was a burst of laughter from the Sky Wolf Battalion, "I'm going back with my ass now." ”

These people did not fall, "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", three arrows.
