Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Camp of the Dead (2)
The first available person was called Hu Li, who was the commander of the 25th Regiment, but the reason why he became a fugitive was not because he was afraid of war, but because of the injustice of the officials and the injustice of the officials, and he gave his credit to others. This Hu Li was originally the head of the arrow formation, and he was also the best archery in the bow formation, but his direct lieutenant gave all the credit to himself, and he only hurriedly recorded Hu Li's performance on the battlefield and injured a few people to help Pao Ze kill the enemy. At first, Hu Li felt that it was the captain who promoted him, and he robbed him of the merit, so he should repay him by himself. But who would have thought that the more humble he was, the more the lieutenant would become even more violent.
After robbing him of his credit a few times, the lieutenant became the schoolmaster, and he was still a chief. Hu Li neither received a reward nor a promotion, so he quarreled with the school captain and asked the captain of the bow formation to judge. The captain naturally favored the school leader, and threw Hu Li into the military prison on the charge of offending his boss, making him reflect on himself, and it happened that someone in the military prison was clamoring to escape from prison that day, so Hu Li escaped with everyone.
"Do you know what happened to the man who was clamoring for an escape?"
"What happened to you, could it be that you were shown to the public?"
"! The man turned his head and complained to the garrison, and we were all arrested when we fled, but he was not only reinstated, but was promoted shortly after. Hu Li was very upset when he mentioned this matter.
Zhang Xiaowu had a lot of contact with him, and found that the biggest shortcoming of this person was that he was open-mouthed, and he dared to be sarcastic about anyone's shortcomings, and even scolded Cheng Chu, the leading general of the Sixth Regiment, for being a rat, saying that the crown prince was an adult in diapers, and that Li Cunyi was the first in the world in martial arts but the first in the world in his brain.
Another person is called Zu Gongmao, and the reason why this person fled was that he suddenly received a letter from home.
Zu Gongmao is a branch of the ancestral family in Youzhou, Zu Gongmao's father gave birth to eight sons, each of whom became an independent adult, and most of them had ordinary family backgrounds. Zu Gongmao ranked fifth in the family, was a concubine, his status at home was not high, and he only got a few acres of thin land when he divided the household, so Zu Gongmao was farming and idle for the township soldiers to arrest thieves, and he was also quite famous in Youzhou.
Zu Gongmao married a peasant girl Wu, and after the death of his eldest son, he gave birth to a pair of twin daughters. In the battle of Saibei, the ancestral family needed to produce three men, and the brothers drew lots, and Zu Gongmao was selected to serve as the army. Because Zu Gongmao had been a township army and a bandit, he was recommended by everyone as a military commander when he left Youzhou. After the two wolf passes last year, Zu Gongmao was reused as Du Zuo to assist in military training, and a month ago he was promoted to Du Lieutenant for leading a team to ambush and kill fifty dog scouts.
Seeing that a bright future was in front of him, Zu Gongmao suddenly received a letter from home, it turned out that after his two clans died on the battlefield, the clansmen thought that he also died in Saibei. It coincided with the re-measurement of the land by the county order, and some clansmen took back the land as his concubine's son. The Wu family made a big fuss in the ancestral hall, but the patriarch favored the long house and beat the Wu family out of the ancestral hall. Wu sold the property in a fit of rage and went to Saibei with only a pair of daughters to find her husband.
Zu Gongmao said: "My wife said that if I die in battle, she should take her second daughter to jump off the cliff and kill herself, so as not to be deceived again." ”
When Zhang Xiaowu heard his wife's story, he thought of his wife Yin Jiu'er, who was a fierce woman, and patted him on the shoulder with empathy and said: "I will definitely help you find your wife and daughter, but you don't want to be a fugitive again, if you are caught again, you will be killed, and your wife and daughter will be martyred for you, how wronged." ”
Zu Gongmao resolutely said: "I want to commit a big sin of the nine clans and let the ancestral family be buried together." ”
Zhang Xiaowu knew that his heart was full of anger, and this anger also brought about a surge in combat effectiveness. Zu Gongmao was able to stand out from the crowd, relying on his momentum of seeing death as home, and almost ending up with the enemy in every battle, this kind of desperate strength of injuring the enemy and injuring himself and eight hundred made no one dare to provoke him here.
After Zhang Xiaowu taught them, he recognized the ability and character of the two, Hu Li just couldn't control his mouth and liked to talk to others, so he offended his colleagues in the army; Zu Gongmao has a strong and resolute personality, and once he makes a decision, he will not look back, and he belongs to the rectum.
Zhang Xiaowu then took Zu Gongmao as the former capital team and Hu Li as the capital of the Zhongdu team, but soon the commander Jin Feng took the initiative to transfer to other battalions, and Zhang Xiaowu officially appointed Hu Li as the commander of the Zhongdu team, and Chen Guanxi as the capital of the army, and learned from Hu Li to march and arrange the formation. When Hu Li and Chen Guanxi partnered interestingly, one had a broken mouth and the other was a stuffy gourd, and I saw Hu Li talking to Chen Guanxi all day long, Chen Guanxi just nodded vigorously, as for whether he understood or learned well, no one knows.
Although in Zhang Xiaowu's heart, Zhao Suo's temperament is more suitable for leading the army than Chen Guanxi, but Zhao Suo can't hold his breath and is too impatient, so he trains the soldiers to be whipped and caned, which causes the sergeants to be disgusted, so Chen Guanxi was promoted before Zhao Suo.
Zhao Suo was dissatisfied, but he said it directly, Zhang Xiaowu pointed out his various shortcomings, and demanded: If you can learn one-tenth of Lu Meng, you will benefit a lot in the future. He also specially gave him three military books, "The Art of War", "Thirty-six Strategies" and "General Saying", which was made by the founding general of this dynasty.
Zhao Suo was also aware of the gap between himself and others, so he calmed down and studied all kinds of military books seriously, and he was actually full of self-motivation.
Hu Sanwan recommended another person to Zhang Xiaowu, this person was named Shen Lindong, the former lieutenant of the Fourth Regiment. It stands to reason that it is impossible for an officer to be a fugitive, and Hu Sanwan inquired and learned that although this Shen Lindong was escorted to the epidemic village with the fugitive, he was a prisoner. When this person was in the 4th Regiment before, he often clashed with his boss, the lieutenant, and even beat the officer many times. If he also has a big brother like Li Cunyi, he will naturally be shielded, but Shen Lindong is from a common people, and he will naturally be suppressed and excluded if he contradicts his boss.
In Shen Lindong's words, he was not accustomed to seeing the officers and the military unscrupulous, so that the troops were tired, and threatened that the fourth regiment was all silver-like pewter guns and could not be used, if it went to the battlefield, let alone break the enemy, if it could not drag down the army in chaos, it would be regarded as burning high incense.
Although this person is strong in martial arts, his personality is still unruly, and he once beat twenty-eight people in a row in the ring all the time, and no one wants to fight with him in the end. Zhang Xiaowu thought that he could fight with Shen Lindong, and if he could even defeat this person between life and death, he could win twenty-eight games in a row like him, but he did not have the stamina and physical strength.
Zhang Xiaowu tried to win over Shen Lindong, but Shen Lindong refused, and he even bluntly said that he would rather be a soldier unless he was asked to be a captain.
The reason why Shen Lindong rejected Zhang Xiaowu was because he had indeed convinced many people after coming to the epidemic village, and there was even a little brother under his command who was willing to follow him, and his heart suddenly swelled. Shen Lindong had never fought with Zhang Xiaowu, although he heard that Zhang Xiaowu was the first brave general of the Sixth Regiment after coming to the epidemic village, he was very disdainful in his heart. Especially Zhang Xiaowu is only eighteen or nineteen years old, although he specially grew a full beard in order to deter the army, but he still looks very tender.
Shen Lindong even felt that instead of handing himself over to a young general, it was better to control his own fate, so as not to kill Pao Ze when he met a Shangguan who was not familiar with military affairs.
After being rejected by Shen Lindong, Zhang Xiaowu was no longer reluctant, this person was a fierce horse, and he was not in a hurry to subdue him.
