Chapter Seventy-Three: The Panic Caused by the Camp Transfer
After half a month after Zhang Xiaowu unified the village, more than 400 soldiers were imprisoned in the village, and the total number of prisoners and fugitives in the village exceeded 600, and the housing and guards in the village were insufficient. Zhang Xiaowu thought about it for a long time, this wooden house converted from a wooden fence cell can naturally live in the summer, but in the winter, especially in the north of the Saibei, people will definitely freeze to death.
In order to build the barracks, Zhang Xiaowu found Su Yu again, but was told by Guan Xiang that Su Yu was now promoted and was already a military candidate.
In the Shenghan Forbidden Army, only the commanders of the war battalion and the baggage battalion led the army to lead the ranks, and the auxiliary battalions led many of them with the rank of captain, but the epidemic battalion was neither a war camp nor a baggage battalion, but it was entrusted with the rank of military candidate, which shows the importance of this epidemic camp in the Qinglong Army. The existence of the plague camp is to announce to all the soldiers that you don't need to worry about being injured on the battlefield, and you can return to the rear to recuperate if you are injured, so the morale of the soldiers in the Yashan Camp and the Jincheng Camp gradually recovered.
"Congratulations to Lord Junhou, congratulations to Lord Junhou." Zhang Xiaowu didn't prepare any gifts for a while, but fortunately, Guan Xiang reminded him that he directly gave some silver, and Su Yu was even happier and asked him to stay for dinner. Zhang Xiaowu knew that Su Yu was stingy, how could he let him pay for it, but he had no money on him, so he had to politely decline.
A few days after the quiet days of the Sixth Regiment, suddenly an order came from the Yashan camp, and the Sixth Regiment immediately rushed to the Yashan camp, and the generals of the camp were taken away before they even had time to prepare.
The trapping camp is the most elite infantry force of the 6th Regiment, although there are only 800 of them, but they can play a role in turning the tide on the battlefield. Master Wen who gave the order said, the decisive battle is coming, and your sixth regiment is afraid that it will inevitably go to the battlefield, today it is just a camp, and tomorrow it may be the Fengzi battalion, the Kezi battalion or the Huizi battalion.
When the generals heard the news, they were worried that they would be transferred to the front, and they pretended to be full of morale and were not afraid at all.
Seeing this, Deputy General Xiahou Bao sneered in his heart, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I have an idea, rebuild a trap camp, if there is a transfer of lieutenant generals and soldiers next time, this new trap camp will be directly transferred over." ”
"Words are reasonable, and their words are good." Wu Gang, the military candidate of the baggage battalion, was the first to stand up in support, and the other military generals also expressed their support, obviously Cheng Chu was also attracted by this suggestion, and hurriedly asked: "Does your virtuous brother have a plan in his heart?" ”
Xiahou Bao said: "General, my subordinates have an immature suggestion, transfer sergeants from various military camps, plus those prisoners and fugitives in the epidemic village outside the city, so that a new trap camp can be formed." The Sixth Regiment is raising these deserters, it is really ...... Waste of food. ”
"General Xiahou's good advice." Everyone was busy.
The epidemic village was originally under the jurisdiction of the epidemic camp, Xiahou Bao looked at Su Yu, Su Yu immediately got up and said: "To be able to serve the sixth regiment and be loyal to the Holy Han, how glorious is the epidemic village, how can there be any excuse!" It was given to adults for free. ”
Xiahou Bao was in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that I didn't have to do business with you, you bastard is actually full of money to make a living.
Cheng Chu looked at Zhou Wenqi, who joined the army, and Zhou was also attracted by this suggestion, but it was a good way to think about it carefully, so he nodded to Cheng Chu in support. Cheng Chu immediately made a decision, and everything was immediately rebuilt according to General Xiahou's words, and the escaped soldiers and prisoners in the epidemic village were removed, and General Xiahou asked each formation to transfer some people, and the battalion formed was renamed the Dead Soldiers Battalion from the trapped camp to show the difference.
The generals breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, this one said that thirty people were provided, another said that they were willing to provide fifty, and the other said that they were willing to provide sixty, and soon made up the number of two hundred. There were 600 guilty troops and 100 defenders in the plague village, and the strength of the dead battalion reached 900 people. The so-called snake can't do without a head, a bird can't fly without wings, and a soldier can't move without a general.
All the soldiers avoided Cheng Chu's gaze, whether this dead battalion sounded good or not was a rabble, and once the battle situation was tense, they would go to the front line to die at any time, and everyone was unwilling to go to the heroes.
Cheng Chu saw that everyone was avoiding him, and immediately said angrily: "Everyone, can there be a competent person, recommend one or two, and everyone will select them, who of you can take on this important responsibility?" ”
Hearing that they were not allowed to lead the camp of the new dead, everyone's hearts suddenly fell, but if they sent their henchmen to death, everyone was unwilling.
There is an unwritten rule in the Shenghan Forbidden Army that the promotion of a subordinate must be recommended by the last time, and if the superior officer is not recommended, the soldier will have great merit and no possibility of promotion. Zhang Xiaowu was able to be promoted to the lieutenant of the Houdu team, thanks to Su Yu's recommendation and Guan Xiang's blowing, so most of the junior officers were confidants or people with important interests of the senior officers.
Many lieutenants and officers of each battalion are the henchmen of the leading soldiers of each battalion, who is willing to recommend their henchmen to the battalion of dead soldiers. So everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they shook their heads and closed their eyes, eager to plunge their heads into the earth.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Wenqi suddenly laughed evilly, and he said with a long body: "General, this dead soldier battalion will also be sent to the battlefield in the future, we people have no experience in actual combat, and rashly take on this heavy responsibility, I am afraid that it will ruin the general's good deeds." If the command is not effective, it will drag down the prestige of the general. Therefore, it is necessary to select a general from the army, and he will take on this heavy responsibility, and I think Li Junhou should take on this heavy responsibility. ”
Li Cunyuan was stunned for a moment, then jumped out and pointed at Zhou Wenqi and scolded: "Old Zhou, don't talk nonsense, I'm waiting to lead the dead soldiers' camp?" Besides, I'm good at cavalry, so what is it to take the battalion of dead soldiers? You old boy specializes in cheating generals, where is your conscience? Are you not afraid of nightmares when you sleep at night? General, this person is extremely treacherous, and ask the general to kill him to correct the army's heart. ”
The soldiers held back laughter in their hearts, and the two were afraid that they were going to quarrel again.
Cheng Chu had a headache, this Li Cunyuan was arrogant and indulgent in the army with his eldest brother Li Cunyi, and no one could look down on him, especially the military Chinese officer, and Zhou Wenqi was a natural rival. At this time, he continued to talk nonsense, but he was afraid that today's preparations for the construction of the dead soldiers' camp would be stranded again, so he raised his head and stopped: "Li Junhou is a general immediately, and this will not be mentioned again." Guys, do you have any generals to recommend? ”
Everyone was still silent for a while, but Su Yu suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and then he hurriedly lowered his head. Cheng Chu immediately pointed at Su Yu and said, "Su Junhou, what's the matter?" was promoted to a military officer, but he didn't dare to speak? Come, come, tell me, how should this dead soldier camp be built? ”
Su Yu hurriedly said: "Humility is good at management, how can there be any wisdom, everything is subject to the general." I will do whatever the general tells me to do, and we will do whatever the general says. ”
Cheng Chu blushed slightly, and secretly scolded Su Yu in his heart for being ignorant, when is this happening, he burned his eyebrows, and reprimanded: "This is not the time for you to say what you think." ”
