Chapter 7: Hu Wei is greedy for newcomers, and Ziliang is brave enough to surrender the soldiers

Since Wei Yuan and the others had already explored the road clearly, when the sky was slightly bright, the two had already rushed to the barracks to report to the place. When they arrived, the place where they had reported had not yet begun to receive people, so they waited at the camp gate. It wasn't until after dawn that the soldiers opened the gate, and the two entered the camp after the roll call.

At the time of the roll call, because the Wu pawn only sang Wei Yuan's pseudonym Liao Yuan, and did not sing the name of Niu Mang, so that the two did not know why, do not think that Niu Mang had not been taken by the military camp, and only after asking did they learn that in fact, the military camp at this time reported to the roll call system and the following are not roll calls, because the soldiers are many vulgar people, and there are very few literate people, the registered Wu pawn only holds a bamboo stick, and each person will use a bamboo knife to draw a bamboo stick on the bamboo stick, and then change another bamboo stick to count again after the drawing is full. After the recruitment is completed, the bamboo sticks can be put away and handed over to the main book that specializes in counting the number of people in the army. As for the post of chief and above, the military camp report is to be informed by the chief secretary of the army, and the soldier will be called after the man is familiar with the name.

In fact, in this era, the people who take the initiative to join the army are basically some people who have no land, no job and no home, and they take the initiative to join the army just to make ends meet. There are very few people like Wei Yuan and Niu Mang who gave up their family business and took the initiative to join the army.

And after the soldiers have counted the people, the thing is also very simple, that is, all the people who report stand in a row, and wait for the chief who needs people to come to choose, generally speaking, all the chief and chief like to choose the stronger, as for the appearance or other conditions, there is basically no one. Therefore, every time the barracks recruit people, there are always the captains of the 100-person team who arrange for people to wait directly at the newspaper office, and when they find that there are stronger people, those who pick people will directly start to rob people.

At this time, Niu Mang's popularity is much higher than Wei Yuan's, after all, Niu Mang looks five big and three thick, and his muscles show that his strength is far higher than others, and coupled with the mountain axe he is carrying behind him, it looks even more majestic. In comparison, Wei Yuan beside him was not so prominent.

"You are Wei Yuan?" At this time, a man was about seven feet tall,

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man who was about seven feet tall and had a short beard and looked very strong came to Wei Yuan and asked, "Are you Wei Yuan?" ”

Wei Yuan saluted and replied: "It is Wei Yuan below, this is my righteous brother Niu Mang, may I ask who is the foot?" ”

The middle-aged man reprimanded: "Whoever has your feet under your feet, since you have come to the barracks, they all call me Dubo, and I am Dubo Huweiye." ”

In fact, Wei Yuan had already sensed that something was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth, so he immediately made a solemn promise, Niu Mang was about to get angry when he saw it on the side, but he was stopped by Wei Yuan's eyes, and only stood on Wei Yuan's side.

"You two also came on horseback, but to steal the army's supplies for you to raise horses?" Hu Wei reprimanded.

"You ......" Niu Mang was stopped by Wei Yuan as soon as he spoke.

Wei Yuan said: "Back to Dubo, this horse is for the two of my brothers, and it really doesn't mean to spend the army's materials to raise horses for the two of us, Dubo misunderstood me and waited." ”

Hu Wei reprimanded: "Do you know that in the army, except for the cavalry and the people of the Dubo, the rest of the personnel are forbidden to ride horses? ”

Wei Yuan arched his hand and smiled: "I really don't know this below, and I still hope that Hu Dubo Haihan will be one or two." ”

Hu Wei said: "In this case, then give you five days, and you must dispose of this horse, otherwise you will be expelled from the barracks immediately." After that, he also glanced at Wei Yuan's jujube red horse, and the greed in his eyes flashed, although he was well disguised, he was still keenly noticed by Wei Yuan.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Since my brother wants this horse is useless, then I will send this horse to Dubo today, and please accept it." "Wei Yuan's horse was originally a good horse carefully selected by Shangguan Qingyi, although it was not a famous horse, but it was also a relatively divine horse, no wonder Hu Wei was greedy at first sight.

Hu Wei said angrily: "Are you bribing me? ”

Wei Yuan said with a smile: "I hit it off with Dubo at first sight, and I had a good impression, so I gave it to each other, and asked Dubo not to accept it, how can I say that I am a bribe?" ”

Hu Wei said: "In this case, I will keep one or two of this horse for you." took the reins of the horse, and then said with a smile: "Brother Wei Xian is so bold at a young age, and his future is limitless. ”

Wei Yuan said with a smile: "I came to the barracks, I was looking for a bite to eat, how can I talk about the future?" ”

Then the two walked into the barracks shoulder to shoulder.

On the way, Hu Wei briefly introduced the rules in the barracks to Wei Yuan and Niu Mang, as well as the rules in the camp. It turns out that the logistics barracks only do not belong to the military branches that often have wars, so there are basically few major casualties, and because the logistics barracks are in charge of all the materials of the military, other troops often have to be more courteous to the people in the logistics barracks, after all, this is the nurse in the army, and because the soldiers in the logistics army can more or less have access to some materials, so there will often be some theft of soldiers, and this kind of thing is repeatedly prohibited in the army. Therefore, every time a newcomer comes, his immediate supervisor will routinely admonish the newcomer. In addition, because this is a logistics barracks, there are no daily drills and other items like future generations. In the case of non-war, each unit is generally supervised and managed by Dubo, and then there are commanders and partial generals, and generals and others can not stay in the barracks in non-war situations. In the army, the chief and the commander need to report to Dubo every day, similar to the point, and then they will each go to you to deal with some logistical materials. The hundred-man team to which Hu Wei belonged was the part that managed the cooking utensils in the army.

"The war horse of the two of you must be properly disposed of within five days, and non-generals in the logistics camp are not allowed to ride on the horse, so as not to keep the materials in the army for everyone's use." Hu Wei repeatedly advised.

Wei Yuan agreed, and the three of them walked around the barracks for a long time, and walked in the barracks for nearly half an hour, and when they reached a corner of the barracks, Hu Wei stopped and shouted: "Guo Yi, Guo Yi, where are the people?" ”

At this time, I saw a military commander come out of the thatched hut and said with a smile: "Uncle Yudu, the villain is here, what are your orders?" In fact, this is not like many modern people think that the ancient military camp is a mess and unorthodox appearance, in this era, the military camp is mostly based on the army, a team of five people, most of them are adjacent relatives, and the brave and strong among them are selected as the captain, the commander of the army holds a shield, and every time there is a war, the shield must be held in front, and then the whole army follows. The two armies are one and the other, and they are wearing half armor, and when they are guarding the battle, they stand behind the commander of the army to supervise them, and if they are charged, they must be protected by the Dubo when they are ordered or lead the whole charge to charge, or they must be protected by the Dubo when they charge, or they will be supervised by the Dubo to fight. In the same way, Du Bo follows the captain, the commander follows the general, and the general follows the general, so the commander in charge of the entire barracks can order the whole army to fight or retreat at any time with an order.

And when the Shangguan is convened, the commander must hold a shield regardless of whether the war is going on or not, so he is in the barracks, but the people who hold the shield are basically the captains. If the commander dies in battle, he will immediately choose the strong one to replace him.

Guo Yi in front of him came out with a shield in response, so Wei Yuan knew at a glance that the person in front of him was Wu Chang.

"This is Wei Yuan, and in the future, he will be the head of the two Wu of you and Li Ming, Wei Yuan first came, and there is something unclear about it, so you can remind him more." Hu Weidao.

Guo Yi nodded in agreement, and then Hu Wei said to Wei Yuan: "In this case, Brother You and Brother You can first follow Guo Yi to understand the affairs of weekdays, and if there is anything unclear, you can enter the account to find me." Then he went on his own.

After Hu Wei left, Niu Mang said indignantly: "The right person is obviously blackmailing my brother, how can my brother make friends with such a person?" ”

Wei Yuan reprimanded: "Shut up! Then he hugged his fist at Guo Yi and smiled: "I have just arrived, and I hope that Brother Guo will help me more if I have any uncertainties in the future." ”

"The villain doesn't dare, please ask Brother Wei to command." Guo Yi saluted.

In fact, at this time, in the barracks, Du Bo was basically referred to as brothers, and there was little mention of military positions, which was also a common practice.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "In this case, please gather all the brothers to come together, so that I can identify them." ”

Guo Yi left in response. At this time, Wei Yuan said to Niu Mang: "In the future, when you speak in the army, pay more attention, don't you hear that the wall has ears?" ”

Niu Mang said: "Our brothers have come here to serve the country as soldiers, how can they suffer from this pickled atmosphere? ”

Wei Yuan said with relief: "If my brother wants to make some fame, he must have some dealings with such characters in the future, and he will not have deep friendships in the future." ”

While the two brothers were talking, Guo Yi had already brought people over, only to see that in addition to Guo Yi, there was a strong person holding a shield, it was Wu Chang Li Ming, Wei Yuan counted the number of people, frowned and said: "One army of five people, why are we only eight people with this and my brothers?" Why haven't they arrived? ”

Li Ming sighed: "Disciple of the official eunuch, do you know the suffering in the army? In the army, a meal is only four taels of brown rice, and the solar eclipse will get half a catty, and if you can't eat enough, how can you get full? ”

It turned out that in the Shu Han army, the food of the pawns was rationed, and the ordinary pawns only got four taels of brown rice for one meal, and half a catty for two meals a day (Note 1), and the commander of the Wu and the pawn were the same. And Shi Chang can get five taels of brown rice for one meal and ten taels for a solar eclipse, so Li Ming has coveted Shi Chang's position for a long time, and he didn't want Wei Yuan to arrive, so he immediately broke off his thoughts, and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

Wei Yuan said: "In this case, Niu Mang will be one less than a team, and it will be made up in the future." So Niu Mang temporarily returned to Guo Yiwu.

After the distribution was completed, Wei Yuan then said: "I am Wuyang Wei Yuan, I am new here, there are many people in the army who do not know the rules very well, and I need more help from my brothers in the future." In the future, I hope you must obey my orders, if there is anyone who is not convinced" Before the words were finished, Wei Yuan took out the three-pointed two-edged knife behind him, and with one arm, he inserted the three-pointed and two-edged knife into the soil about a foot long, and then glanced at everyone and continued: "You can pull out this weapon, and I will give up the position of the chief." ”

All the soldiers were shocked, the place of the military camp had been rammed with huge stones at the beginning of its formation, so the ground was very hard, and Wei Yuan inserted the weapon into the ground with one arm for more than a foot, which shows Wei Yuan's bravery.

Li Ming said proudly: "What's so difficult about this! Then went straight forward, at the beginning of the period, Li Ming showed disdain, stretched out one arm to pull out the three-pointed two-edged knife, tried a few times and then pulled out with both hands, and finally held the three-pointed two-edged knife in his arms and pulled it out with all his strength, but the instrument was still not moving, and he knew that the weight of the three-pointed two-edged knife was probably not less than a hundred catties after being inserted into the soil, and when he looked at Wei Yuan again, he couldn't help but show a look of horror on his face.

Wei Yuan asked the guards around him, "But there are still those who dare to try?" ”

When the soldiers saw that those who were as strong as Li Ming had failed, they all shirked and did not dare to try again.

Wei Yuan said: "In this case, from today onwards, I will be the head of the second army, can you be convinced?" ”

Under the leadership of Guo Yi and Li Ming, the soldiers bowed their heads and said in unison: "We are convinced, and we are willing to listen to the dispatch of Shi Chang." ”

Wei Yuanshi said: "We are a logistics army, I know that there are often people who steal the materials in the army and sell them out of the camp, I will not pursue the past, all the items that I have lost, I will make up for them after I count them, if someone commits it in my hands in the future, I will not spare it, do you know?" ”

All the soldiers bowed down to receive the command. From the moment on, the entire personnel were under the control of Wei Yuan.

Note 1: In the Han Dynasty, one catty was 16 taels, and half a catty was eight taels, so there was an idiom called half a catty and eight taels.
