Chapter Ninety-One: The Water of Friendship

The next day, the camp of the dead soldiers had dug a trap overnight, prepared bows and arrows, and waited for the cavalry battalion to attack. Since the last time Zhang Xiaowu was framed, there has been a tradition in the Dead Battalion, regardless of how to punish the reckless Zhao Suo afterwards, but at this time they must be unanimous to the outside world. All the soldiers waited for the day, and could not help but rejoice that the moat of the plague village had been dug up earlier, and a half-zhang parapet wall was built with rammed earth and smoky stones.

Zhang Xiaowu stood on the parapet and looked into the distance, and all the lieutenants around him guessed in their hearts when the Xiaocai battalion would be killed, but they only saw a personal entourage from the general's mansion coming from a distance, and it was Cheng Chu who asked Zhang Xiaowu to go to the general's mansion to admit his mistake and admit punishment.

Zhang Xiaowu deeply suspected that he was almost killed last time he went to the General's Mansion, and now he offended Li Cunyuan and was only afraid of being killed halfway. The relatives smiled bitterly: "Not this time, with the matter of Secretary Tian, who would dare to harm you." Zhang Xiaowu didn't say anything, and the other officials quit, saying that Li Cunyuan didn't even take the general in his eyes, and how could he prove that this move was not his conspiracy. blocked the road and prevented Zhang Xiaowu from going, so he had to go back and report truthfully.

Cheng Chu and Li Cunyuan couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that Li Cunyuan's name as a villain is decided, and he just wants to give the other party a step, and the other party can't believe it. Li Cunyuan thought of a way to let the relatives tell Zhang Xiaowu that if he wanted to borrow a horse, he needed to agree to two requests, the first was to let go of the people in the Xiao Riding Camp, and the second was to let Zhang Xiaowu wash his feet.

When the conditions reached the epidemic village, Xiao Kai, Hu Li, Zhao Suo, Zu Gongmao and other generals suddenly quit, and Shen Lindong was also furious: "It's better to fight to the death, it's so not a thing." ”

Zhao Suo got up and said, "I'll take someone to burn the Xiao Cavalry Camp!" ”

"Come on, you're the best at causing trouble." Hu Li teased, "If you hadn't acted impulsively, how could you have caused so much trouble." ”

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said: "Don't blame Zhao Suo for this matter, Li Cunyuan has long wanted to fight with me." ”

Xiao Kai said: "Why don't you borrow a horse?" ”

Zhang Xiaowulang smiled: "I still have to borrow this horse, if I don't borrow it, I'm afraid of him." He pondered for a moment and then smiled: "If you wash your feet once, you will get three hundred horses for nothing, which is worth it." ”

Everyone was busy trying to dissuade him, and Zhang Xiaowu ordered: "Since he wants to save face, let's give him face and inform the whole regiment and the whole city, in order to borrow a horse to wash his feet, three hundred horses wash his feet once, if he doesn't give me three hundred horses, I will chop off his feet." ”

Wu Song smiled thoughtfully on the side, it seems that this school master has already planned in his heart, this is to roast Li Cunyuan on the fire, but I don't know if this Li Cunyuan can take this step.

Everyone beat gongs and drums to spread propaganda all over the city, and deliberately circled the city a few times with flags, attracting almost the entire people and resting soldiers of the entire wooden city, and followed the brigade to the front of the Xiaocai camp.

Cheng Chu was eating raisins and drinking wine with his concubines, and was startled by the sound of gongs and drums, and heard that Zhang Xiaowu was going to wash Li Cunyuan's feet and borrow horses in front of the people and soldiers of the city, and suddenly realized what the hell this Zhang Xiaowu was doing. He was furious in his heart, and scolded that these two people were not worry-free people, and he didn't know what kind of trouble would come out in a while, so he rushed to the Xiaoqi camp with his own soldiers.

Cheng Chu saw many people on the road running to see the excitement along the way, and he was even more angry and scolded: "If I have the opportunity, I will throw them both on the battlefield and let the two of them kill each other." ”

Li Cunyuan didn't think that Zhang Xiaowu not only agreed to his request, but also beat gongs and drums to summon the soldiers and civilians of the whole city as if he were celebrating the New Year, and saw the figures of other military robes from a distance, knowing that they also came to see the jokes, his heart was as disgusting as eating flies.

Li Cunyuan had no choice but to take the initiative to step forward and hold down Zhang Xiaowu's wooden basin, and said with Yue: "Oh, yes, yes, Brother Zhang Xian, I just said it casually, just joking with you, how can I take it seriously, how can I take it seriously?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu sneered: "It turned out to be a joke? ”

"Nature, nature."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Thank you Li Junhou for the three hundred horses." ”

Li Cunyuan said: "Three hundred horses is a bit much, and we can borrow at most fifty horses in our army." ”

Zhang Xiaowu shouted: "It turns out that Brother Li regards military orders as child's play, and when he becomes a general, he is a fart? You are bargaining with me, and I need to ask everyone if this disrespectful military order should be killed—hey, you see, the general is not far away. ”

Li Cunyuan was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, and he said in a low voice: "Don't go too far with the surname Zhang, we have only more than 1,000 horses in the cavalry camp, and we will tell you to borrow 50 horses at most!" ”

Zhang Xiaowu threatened: "Li Junhou, do you believe that I led the battalion of dead soldiers into the city at night and destroyed your cavalry battalion?" ”

Li Cunyuan said angrily: "How dare a thief? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Do you think I dare?" My battalion of dead soldiers is about to rush to the camp of Yashan to fight with Inuyi, and I have long put life and death out of the way, that is, we committed murder, and the most severe punishment is to be sent to the camp of Yashan. But I'm sure you're not a human being inside and out, and you can't even be a soldier, do you dare to bet with me? ”

As the so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, when encountering this kind of scoundrel, Li Cunyuan can only secretly call it unlucky, and has suffered a big loss twice, he is really angry and helpless, and said: "The surname is Zhang, let's see." ”

Li Junhou smiled.

Seeing Cheng Chu dismount and walk with the generals, Li Cunyuan immediately smiled: "Respect the general's order, I will lend you the war horse to help you save your leg." ”

Zhang Xiaowu saw that the goal was achieved, but he didn't fall into the well, and asked with a smile: "This water?" ”

Li Cunyuan snatched the wooden basin and splashed the water, saying: "This water is the testimony of our brotherhood, if anyone says that our brothers are not in harmony, it is when this water is recovered, how about it?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu beat Li Cunyuan's chest with dark strength and laughed: "Very good! Very good! Hahaha......"

Li Cunyuan was almost beaten and vomited blood, but he had to have a smile on his face, he was really angry and helpless, and secretly scolded you Zhang Xiaowu, it's best not to fall into my hands in the future.

After making preparations, the Dead Soldier Battalion escorted 3,000 soldiers to the Yashan Camp.

A black stone tablet is erected every two miles on the road from Mucheng to Yashan Daying, and this black stone tablet is the official road, with a total of 300 pieces, so there is a distance of 600 miles. The distance of 600 miles is not close, but it is not far away, and it takes about 10 days to walk, because a section of the road has to pass through a desert with soft ground and difficult to walk.

The battalion of the dead soldiers got 300 war horses, enough for the two teams to train together, Zhang Xiaowu first let the former capital team and the middle capital team practice horseback riding, then the rear capital team and the lower capital team, and finally the left capital team and the right capital team. The six teams take turns to train, and each team does not treat them badly, and they do not treat them equally. Even Shen Lindong also admires Zhang Xiaowu regardless of his past suspicions, and his relationship with him is gradually normal, this is indeed a person who does great things.

There were some soldiers in the camp who could ride horses, but most of them could not ride horses, and everyone practiced riding horses and learned how to ride them.

When they first rode horses, the biggest problem they encountered was that the inner thighs were often rubbed and bleeding, and many soldiers seemed to be pulled after dismounting.

The soldiers often laughed at each other, and each thought of many things, some made their own crotch pants to protect the inner thighs, and some improved the saddle so that they could sit in the saddle when they were in pain. Zhang Xiaowu didn't stop it, because his inner thigh was also choking enough, and he even removed a leather armor and tied it to the inner thigh with cowhide to relieve the pain.

In order to learn to ride a horse, the sergeants used their own means, but the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and finally gradually adapted to the life on the horse.
