Chapter 63: Three Officers
Qinzhou is so big, of course, there is an army.
Not to mention the defenders fighting against Xirong, there are 30,000 garrisons in the capital alone.
These 30,000 people were stationed in the camp outside Qinzhou City, and the three generals each commanded 10,000 troops.
The first one, named Shen Ping, is in his thirties, with a short beard and a rough appearance, and is Guo Qian's henchman, who was also raised by him.
The second person, named He Gui, is also in his thirties, he has little ability, and he can sit in this position today, because he bought it by slapping his beard and spending a lot of money on gifts.
The third one, named Su Yi, is about twenty-five or six, white-faced and beardless, handsome, and from Jiangmen, he doesn't belong to any faction in Qinzhou, and his ability to stay in this position is also related to his own ability.
Xiao Yuan, as the Taishou of Qinzhou, is equivalent to the number one military and political leader, he wants to govern here, and the military power is obviously very important, otherwise, his next actions will be difficult.
Therefore, he was ostensibly confusing Guo Qian and the others, and while going to the banquet, he quietly ordered Ye Cheng to take his warrant and go to the camp in Qinzhou.
Right now, Ye Cheng had already informed He Gui and Su Yi, and the last one to see him was Shen Ping.
In the military tent, Shen Ping was still drinking, and he didn't have a good face for Ye Cheng's arrival, but tore off a chicken leg by himself, and glanced at Ye Cheng from the corner of his eye: "I heard that you were sent by Lord Taishou, what's the matter?" ”
Ye Cheng got straight to the point and said: "Tomorrow, the school will order troops, please prepare the general." ”
"What?" Shen Ping sneered and said, "You, a small officer, dare to order General Ben?" ”
"No, I naturally don't dare, this is Lord Taishou's order." Ye Cheng said.
"Humph!" Hearing him say this, Shen Ping threw the chicken leg back on the table with a general face, and said angrily: "Got it." ”
"Besides, Lord Taishou said that this is a military order." After Ye Cheng finished speaking, he also hugged his fists directly: "Farewell." ”
He came fast and walked fast, and after he left, Shen Ping took a sip of wine, pouted and said, "What a thing!" ”
"General." At this time, his subordinates came up and asked tentatively, "Since we are too obedient, shall we go tomorrow?" ”
"Where to go!" Shen Ping glared at him and sneered, "I really think who I am!" Don't go! In addition, tell He Gui and Su Yi that if they don't go, give this new Taishou a dismount first! ”
"Understood." The subordinate nodded, and immediately informed the other two generals to go.
The next day, the camp in Qinzhou.
Not long after Su Yi got up, He Gui hurriedly came over.
When the two met, after Su Yi adjusted the armor on his body, he raised his head and asked, "General He, what's the matter so early?" ”
"General Su." He Gui first hugged his fists, and then asked a little anxiously: "Yesterday, Lord Taishou gave an order, and today he will order troops in the school field, but General Shen ...... there."
"You want to say that Shen Ping asked the two of me not to go, right?" Su Yi interrupted him.
"Yes, I don't know what General Su's plan is." He Gui asked directly.
Su Yi's appearance is very handsome, maybe because of the old wounds on his body, he clenched his fist and put it under his mouth and coughed, then said:
"That's a fool, I'm too new to keep the new position, the first time to order troops, do you say you want to go?"
As he spoke, he glanced at He Gui again, and said with a smile: "The hour is coming, if General He doesn't want to stretch his neck up to the knife, let's go and prepare." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to He Gui, but shouted loudly: "Guard! ”
"In!" The guards outside the tent immediately walked in.
"Summons my department, gather immediately!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that he was already making preparations here, He Gui immediately turned around and left after thinking about it.
When the hour came, the war drums beat in the barracks, the officers and men of all departments began to assemble, and the sound of the footsteps of the infantry filled the audience.
Shen Ping's department.
He had a hangover last night, and until now, he is still snoring and sleeping.
In his arms, he was still holding an empty wine jar, at this time, a soldier hurriedly rushed in, and then shook Shen Ping again and again: "General, general, Lord Taishou orders troops, gather in the school field!" ”
"Don't bother me, what a soldier! Let's just say that Lao Tzu is drunk! Don't go! ”
Shen Ping waved his hand directly, and after muttering a sentence, he turned over and continued to sleep.
"Oops!" Seeing this, the soldier shouted several times, but was pushed away by Shen Ping again.
At this time, the time to leave the military order was running out, and the soldiers did not dare to stay any longer, so they hurriedly ran out.
On the stage, Xiao Yuan was dressed in a guard uniform and hung a sword at his waist.
In a short time, the army had been assembled, and the school field was crowded with soldiers.
Judging from the appearance of the army, the combat power of this army is immeasurable for the time being, but their armament is too shabby.
Xiao Yuan understood that this was related to the officials above Qinzhou, and it was meaningless to hold the army accountable, so he didn't say anything on this matter, and it was also a matter of later to expand the armament.
After glancing at the soldiers below, he said in a shocking voice:
"Today, the new officer, the school field soldiers, yesterday has thrown down the military order, all the officers and soldiers, must be present, all those who are lacking, will escape according to the battle, punished by military law!"
After speaking, he said directly: "Now the troops will begin, the first formation of the infantry army, Shen Ping!" ”
No one answered, Xiao Yuan subconsciously looked around and shouted again: "General Shen! ”
Still no one spoke, and all the soldiers began to look left and right.
Su Yi and He Gui, who were at the forefront, couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Shen Ping!"
Xiao Yuan shouted again, this is the first general, he was absent, and his voice was already very cold.
Still no one answered.
At this time, a young general also stood up bravely, he first looked at Xiao Yuan cautiously, and then hugged his fists and said:
"My lord, Shen ...... General Shen him, he said he was drunk......"
"What did you say!?"
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he was immediately furious, and immediately pointed at Peng Shuang, and shouted: "Escort him to me!" ”
"No!" Peng Shuang responded, then pointed out two soldiers and walked away quickly.
On the school grounds, it began to become quiet.
After a while, a scolding voice came from not far away:
"Let go of Lao Tzu! What do you want to do!? ”
That was Shen Ping's voice, he was being escorted by two soldiers to the school grounds, and it could be seen from the scars on his face that he should have been beaten by Peng Shuang just now.
"My lord, the man has arrived."
Arriving at the stage, Peng Shuang also stood aside after clasping his fists towards Xiao Yuan.
