Chapter 213: The First Step to Build an Iron Army
The morning light shines through the mist and sprinkles on the muddy mountain cols, and the sleeping figures are crooked. ~With~Dream~Small~Say~щ~Suimеng~lāThe mountains in the distance are cascading like a painting that has blurred the ink.
Scattered footsteps came from far and near, with the occasional creaking sound of a tree being pulled down.
Someone opened his eyes vigilantly, cautiously woke up his companion, picked up the long sword stained with muddy water, and looked in the direction from which the sound came, until he saw the face of the person who came, and then let out a long breath, and the whole person relaxed.
This is the third day that the Seventh Division has entered the mountain, but no one knows whether the officers and soldiers will catch up.
"Who's going to light a fire!" Li Da slammed the black-haired wild boar on his back to the ground, splashing muddy water and spilling himself, but he laughed arrogantly: "This beast is too timid, he runs away when he sees someone, causing me to chase all the way!"
"Good guy!" Deng Xiaoxian rubbed his eyes and walked to him, swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "After gnawing on the dry food all the way, a bird faded out of his mouth, and he can finally open a meat dish today!"
Everyone woke up one after another by such a noise, and when they saw this big wild boar, many people howled happily.
Li Da looked for someone to kill the pig, then looked around and asked in a low voice, "Where is Master Bu?"
"I went with the blind man to explore the way, and I haven't come back yet. Deng Xiaoxian happily watched others kill pigs with knives, and said casually: "Let's move quickly, they will come back just to eat!"
The man who killed the pig stabbed into the chest of the wild boar, pinched his nose and disemboweled, and when he saw that several bones in the beast's chest were shattered, he looked back at Li Da and muttered: "It's so ruthless to hit the wild boar." ”
Li Da heard it, shook his head with a smile, and said in his heart that if it was a few days ago, Lao Tzu bumped into such a behemoth in the mountains, it would be good not to pee his pants, and now he has just gained this ability, where do you know the severity.
"Head catch," Deng Xiaoxian suddenly patted him on the side, and asked in a low voice, "I see that you always have a small notebook to remember." We didn't do anything in the white camp, did we?"
The question of the flower priest reminded Li Da that today is the day when the Qingshan girl composes music on the tenth day.
"The night before yesterday, Bu Ye just wrote a new poem. What's the matter?, Miss Qingshan still wants to play music today?" Li Da wondered.
"You don't understand that. Deng Xiaoxian looked like a "senior": "In our seventh division, Bu Ye's poems and Qingshan's songs, that is one yard to one yard, and the rules have always been like this." ”
"That's a good idea. Li Dayi was happy, and blurted out his hometown dialect. Although he relied on the elixir to obtain cultivation, and there was no hope for the promotion of the spirit spirit, it was always beneficial and harmless to accumulate more spiritual energy.
"Don't talk about it. Deng Xiaoxian leaned closer and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Say, my brothers, have you written down any mistakes......?" Hehe, trivial things, all the ticks. ”
Li Da smiled and said: "Yes, you white camp commanders, don't go to clean up the team early in the morning, and come to see the pig killing." I'll make a note of it in a moment. So saying, he went to help gather firewood.
Deng Xiaoxian stretched his face suddenly, followed him and cursed, seeing that Li Da was indifferent, he had to snort and turn his head to count the team.
At this time, the red, blue, yellow, green, and black battalions had already gathered separately, and under the example of their respective commanders, they started their morning classes.
The so-called morning class is to practice and discuss the strategy of fighting in a group of five. Because today is the day of gathering spirits again, all the battalions keep their distance, for fear that their plans will be overheard.
Each battalion had a few people in charge of food logistics, and they gathered together at this moment to deal with the wild boar. Su Su was mixed in the middle of this pile of guys, her little face was blackened, and she was very busy.
Although she is adding to the chaos most of the time, everyone is helpless against her - the prime minister's concierge and the third grade official, Buye's scholar, who dares to provoke her.
The firewood was damp, and when it was first lit, the smoke was billowing out, and a few water amulets were thrown into it before an open flame broke out.
The fire burned more and more, and it was warm all around. The wild boar, which was divided into several pieces, strung by a trunk the thickness of a small arm, was laid across the fire, and in a short time it gave off an enticing aroma of meat. The grease dripped down the black hairs and made a clattering sound.
"I haven't even plucked my hair clean, how can I eat it for a while. Someone laughed and cursed from afar.
"You can find me such a big basin to hold water! I'll scald the pig and pluck the feathers!" the man in charge of roasting the pig wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied-for-tat.
"If you don't have Butcher Zhang, you have to eat hairy pigs. It's good to have meat, don't be too particular!" Li Da smiled and mediated, regardless of the proverb in his hometown, whether anyone could understand it.
At this time, some people suddenly shouted: "Buye! Buye is back!"
When everyone heard the sound, they saw that on the slope on the side of the col, Bu An and Zhang Blind were walking one after the other, holding bamboo canes.
"Yo, there's meat to eat today!" Buan shouted with a smile.
The people of the Seven Divisions coaxed one after another, some praised Li Da for his meritorious service in catching pigs, some complained that the men didn't even pull out the pig's hair and fooled around, and some patted the horses, saying that Bu Ye worked hard and went to explore the road early in the morning.
Bu An walked into the camp, ran away from the bamboo cane, sat down, took the cloth towel handed by Su Su and wiped his face, and then scanned the crowd.
In the past few days, everyone in the seven divisions has been like mud monkeys, and there is no clean place on their bodies.
Bu An's eyes swept to Qingshan, and when he saw this spotless woman on weekdays, she was also covered in mud at this time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Qingshan was embarrassed by his laughter and hung his head silently.
A few days ago, when he abandoned Changtai County and plunged into the mountains, he encountered a bleak wind and cold rain, and when the people's hearts were discouraged, Bu An immediately copied a quatrain of Lu You's chant, and used the method of spiritual reward to stabilize the team.
It is said that Ci is not in charge of the army, and Bu An is not indecisive, but seeing that the team he brought out from Yuezhou has become so down-and-out, he still has some emotion.
However, emotion is emotion, to make a group of idle Jianghu people become an iron army in the real sense, it is essential to hone and hone, and what you are experiencing in front of you is just an appetizer.
"Li Da!" Bu'an wiped his hands with a cloth towel, "While the wild boar is not yet roasted, let's settle the account first!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of laughter and cheerfulness just now suddenly became solemn.
Li Da answered, walked over, took out a small yellow paper book from his chest, and looked at Bu An inquiringly.
"It's okay, you read!" Bu An said lightly.
Li Da nodded, then cleared his throat and said: "On November 14, on the boat that came to Quanzhou, Heiying Qiu San drank and made trouble, and recorded that he was a ...... and so on."
Some of those who were reported to their names were silent, and some stood up to confess.
After reading five or six, the crowd was already noisy. Li Da looked at Bu An at a loss, not knowing whether to read it anymore.
Bu'an stood up, and the crowd suddenly fell silent.
"If you feel wronged, you can appeal when your name is read!" he said in a calm tone.
Everyone was encouraged, and they suddenly became energetic, shouting "wronged" one after another.
"Once appealed, if it is confirmed that there is no such thing, or if there is a reason for the matter, and the demerit can be cancelled because of helplessness. But!" Bu An suddenly raised his voice: "If it is true, once the appeal is confirmed, the crime will be increased by one degree!"
As soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately quieted down, and those who were full of "wronged" just now all died down.
"How is it? Have you been wronged?" Bu An asked again, but naturally no one responded, so he motioned to Li Da and continued to read.
Li Da saw that Bu Ye was willing to stand up for himself, and his heart had a bottom, and his tone became high: "On November 20, when attacking Changtai County, Huang Duo of the Blue Camp bewitched the crowd and recorded the second class ......."
"I'm not convinced!" In the middle of the formation, a yellow-faced man stood up. It was the one who shouted "Rebellion will be exterminated by the nine tribes" when attacking Changtai County.
This person was originally a figure with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes of Yuezhou, but after entering the Seventh Division, not only was he not reused, but he was also deducted this time, and his heart was even more unfair.
"What I say is the truth. Kidnapping officers and soldiers and beating the county town are all big crimes, and we will not be able to get rid of it if the court investigates it in the future! Even if we put it mildly, isn't it because we are hiding in Tibet right now because we hit the county seat?!" Huang Duo said in a loud voice: "Bu Ye has never explained to everyone from the beginning to the end, why do you want to fight the scene of Changtai! Could it be that it is a whim, so let everyone work hard?!"
When You Ping, the commander of the Yellow Battalion, heard this, he angrily scolded: "Shut your dog's mouth!
"Slow!" Bu An was not irritated at all, but said calmly: "Li Da, you explain to the brothers how to deal with it if you have been recorded as a first-class demeritor." ”
Li Da flipped a few pages of the small notebook and read: "The seven divisions are divided into A, B, C, D, E, and so on. He was fined for one month and put in confinement for three days, and on the day of the gathering of the spirits, he was punished with three steps of withdrawal from the camp, and on the day of the gathering of the spirits, he was punished with two months' fines and seven days of confinement...... The first class was expelled from the seven divisions, never hired, and on the day of the music gathering spirits, the camp withdrew a hundred steps. ”
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"This is a transgression, and it is not enough to pass it, and above the five transgressions, there are five degrees of crimes, and if they are committed, they shall be punished by military law, and the worst of them may be beheaded. Li Da added.
Bu An was silent and leaned less, and waited for everyone to digest these meanings before he said: "The five transgressions and five crimes all have specific references, and the commanders of each battalion will convey the entries when they go back." ”
He paused again, then looked at Huang Duo and said, "Brother Huang, you are a slander and a second-class offense, whether you want to appeal or not, you have to figure it out in your heart." ”
Everyone looked towards Huang Duo.
If the appeal is rejected, the crime will be increased by one degree, and it will be promoted to the first class - that is the risk of being expelled from the Seventh Division and never hired!
Everyone doesn't say it, but they are thinking in their hearts, if they change to themselves, most of them will still admit it.
Huang Duo stood there, his face flickered brightly and gloomily, obviously after a battle between heaven and man, he gritted his teeth and said after a while: "I'm still not convinced! Attacking the county seat is not justified at all! The prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, and the master is in chaos, can't I wait for my beak?!"
"You still want to appeal?" Bu'an confirmed.
Huang Duo turned his heart sideways, and said with a stiff neck: "If you complain, you will appeal! You must always be reasonable in everything! Huang has a clear conscience and doesn't know what he has done wrong!"
