Chapter 50: Take the Initiative
It didn't take long for Yuwen Chengdu to hand over his ten brothers and cousins to his subordinate team of 100 people, and then let these teams arrange their position as captains.
According to the previous requirements of Yuwenshu. All ten disciples were not allowed to claim to be his grandson and nephew, and could only say that their surname was Yuwen.
And the surname Yuwen is the national surname of the former Northern Zhou Dynasty, and now the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been replaced by Sui for only thirty-one years, so there are quite a few people with the surname Yuwen in the north. If they don't say their true identity, others won't be able to think of Yu Wenshu, the supreme commander of this army.
The team of the 10th team is a veteran in his thirties, named Song Jingang, he is an old and serious person, and has made a lot of military achievements, but because he is from a poor family and has no background in the army, he has not been promoted for a long time.
However, his vision is still very unique, seeing that Yu Wenming was personally sent to him by Yuwen Chengdu, and his expression seemed very concerned. is also a chill in my heart, secretly thinking that this kid doesn't look at his young age and immature face, I'm afraid the origin is not simple.
Therefore, he was polite to Yu Wenming, and then led him to the camp of the tenth group. After calling the nine soldiers out together, Yu Wenming knew that the time had come to test himself.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for a recruit to be directly promoted to an officer, let alone an officer in the most elite scout regiment in the army.
Yu Wenming's age is not yet fifteen years old, although he is already six feet tall (about one meter seven). But the childishness on his face made these veterans see at a glance that he was a child soldier who participated in the battle for the first time.
Yu Wenming knew in his heart that whether he could really gain a firm foothold in this small team and whether he could really win the trust of the whole group remained to be tested. And there will definitely be many people among the nine people who are not convinced, especially some veterans and people who think they have the ability to give themselves problems, stumble, and so on.
Instead of waiting for them to attack themselves, it is better to find out these problems straight to the point and strive to solve them by fair and honest means, so that they can convince everyone as soon as possible and twist the whole group into a rope.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenming already had an idea in his heart. A confident smile also appeared on his face, and then he said slowly: "Brothers, we will be brothers who will fight and live together in the future, I hope you can obey my orders." In the future, after making military achievements, the credit will never be less than everyone's share, but if you stumble on me secretly, then don't blame me for being unkind! We're young, but if you really embarrass me, I won't be soft! ”
After that, he said sonorously: "Before leaving, I will introduce myself: My name is Yu Wenming, a native of Longxi, and I will be your partner in the future......"
Yu Wenming stood in front of the nine soldiers, and made a brief introduction to himself with a calm face, looking at his nine soldiers, his face obviously showed a mixture of surprise, dissatisfaction, and jealousy, but they all remained quiet, and no one coaxed. Because the team is watching from the sidelines. The military discipline of the Great Sui was also very strict, and those who despised the authority of their superiors were immediately dealt with by military law.
Then, Yu Wenming changed his words and said: "I know, maybe everyone is thinking in their hearts, this hairless little guy must be a relative of someone above, he has nothing to do, he wants to run to the army to plating gold, and after he goes back, he will be a half-official." I can now tell you openly and honestly: it is true that I am from a scholar clan, but I am by no means the kind of gentleman who relies on relationships to pace gold! ”
"As the saying goes, it's a mule or a horse, and you don't know the real chapter until you pull it out for a walk! If anyone has doubts about my martial arts, everyone is welcome to challenge me. Our group is the most basic unit of the army. Although I am a gang leader, I am actually not much higher than everyone else's status. Personally, I think that instead of comparing identity and age, it is better to compare martial arts. ”
Speaking of this, he said solemnly: "Now, I swear in the honor of myself and my family, and I will never take revenge because someone challenges me!" Win or lose! If you violate this oath, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and you will not be able to die well! If anyone can beat me, I'll recommend him to the team to take over as my captain. And I'm going to be an ordinary soldier. ”
Yu Wenming's words immediately caused a huge wave among the nine soldiers, not only them, but even the team named Song Jingang also widened his eyes and almost didn't believe his ears.
The soldiers looked at him carefully a few times, and wondered: Isn't this kid just a stinky young man, defeating him is expected to become the head of the gang, even if he loses, it will have no effect, anyway, he has already sworn in public, and brought the honor of his family, it must be impossible to repent. The soldiers couldn't help but look at me, and I looked at you, and they all looked a little eager to try.
"Why, no one dares to compete?" Yu Wenming's eyes were like a moment, he glanced around, and took the initiative to say.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, someone immediately responded: "Under Guo Ziyi, ask the chief for advice!" ”
Yu Wenming looked at the man who took the lead in standing up. I saw that he was about twenty-one or twelve years old, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a big pound waist and a round waist. He held a round shield in his left hand and a large knife in his right hand.
After he saluted Yu Wenming with his fists, he took two steps back and waited for him.
Yu Wenming didn't want to defeat him with his Damascus black steel sword. Instead, he took down a big knife from the weapon rack on the side, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Guo, come on!" ”
Guo Ziyi was not polite, he protected the round shield in his left hand in front of his chest, and then with a wave of his right hand, he slashed at the door of Yuwenming's face, and the force was extremely heavy.
"It seems that this is a soldier who is known for his strength!" Yu Wenming thought secretly in his heart.
At this time, he leaned slightly to the side, and avoided Guo Ziyi's attack. Then he slashed with his backhand, slashed at the opponent's thigh.
Guo Ziyi is not a weak person, he struggles to press down with the round shield in his left hand, and his movements are extremely clean.
Just listen to "When!" With a crisp sound, Yu Wenming's big knife was opened, and a few sparks even splashed on the edge of the round shield.
Both of them took a step back at this time, both a little surprised. Yu Wenming also secretly thought that the other party's strength was indeed strong, and he was able to open his own move, which shows that his martial arts are already quite good.
However, he didn't know that it was this knife collision that made all the soldiers present stunned, because this Guo Ziyi was one of the soldiers in the entire scout regiment with the strongest martial arts, and his strength was so great that often four or five soldiers could not defeat him.
But he actually hit the shield with a knife, and a blow made him take a step back. This is a surprise.
Because this round shield made of iron is much heavier than the broadsword, it is heavy to hit lightly, and the round shield is still held on Guo Ziyi's arm, which is more convenient to exert force. But in this way, he collided head-on with Yu Wenming, and he fought on a par, and it was obvious that Yu Wenming's arm strength was still above Guo Ziyi, who was known for his great strength.
Guo Ziyi even knew that his entire left arm was a little numb by Yu Wenming's knife. Now there is still a faint pain, and I can't do it at all.
But now that he is riding a tiger, he can't just admit defeat. That's too humiliating. In desperation, he had no choice but to continue on his head, he could only pray now, Yu Wenming only had great strength, but the sword technique was not exquisite.
Guo Ziyi held the left shield at this time, jumped high, and rushed straight in front of Yu Wenming. The distance between the two was close in an instant.
At this time, he suddenly made a strange move, his thick body rolled on the ground, and then he swung his right hand and slashed at Yu Wenming's feet.
Yu Wenming looked at him like a moment and shouted, "It's good."
He had long expected that Guo Ziyi would use the knife technique.
After taking a step back, Yu Wenming pushed diagonally in his hand, sealed the ferocious knife, and then picked up the big knife in his hand and slashed the opponent's throat.
Guo Ziyi hurriedly turned his head and flashed, but the round shield in his hand suddenly pushed forward, smashing into Yu Wenming's chest, and at the same time retracted the knife to defend himself against the door.
Yu Wenming smiled, used the big knife to block the heavy blow of the round shield, and then tapped his left foot, and his body flashed to Guo Ziyi's right side like a ghost, and the big knife in his hand slashed directly at the opponent's right hand holding the knife.
Guo Ziyi's right wrist flipped and blocked violently.
Yu Wenming took advantage of the trend and pressed down, using a strong internal force for immortality.
Guo Ziyi suddenly felt a powerful force coming from the hilt of the knife, and his palm could no longer hold the long knife, and he was slashed by Yu Wenming three feet away. It fell to the ground with a "bang".
He stood there with shame on his face, momentarily at a loss.
Yu Wenming inserted the big knife back into the weapon rack, and then picked up the long knife on the ground and handed it back to Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi's talent woke up like a dream, and he hurriedly bowed to Xiang Yuming and said, "Thank you for the mercy of the captain's subordinates." The subordinates are too arrogant and don't know the height of the sky, please punish them! ”
Yu Wenming smiled slightly: "I said a long time ago, we are just cutting off, you don't have any fault, how can you punish it?" ”
He defeated the challenger so neatly that he immediately suppressed almost all the soldiers present, even the team leader secretly screamed. I thought that although this kid was young, his martial arts were really strong. Looking at the few knife strokes he made just now, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to beat him.
There was silence.
"Is there any brother who wants to try it with me?" Yu Wenming shouted again.
At this time, the eyes of several veterans turned to the first person on the left, who was a young man one or two years younger than Guo Ziyi, only ten years old, much smaller than Guo Ziyi in terms of size, and it could even be said that he was very thin, and his height was comparable to Yu Wenming. His skin is very white, his face is extremely delicate, his eyes are large, and his gaze is very sharp, giving people a feeling that is not easy to mess with.
This person just casually stopped there, which brought people an invisible pressure, which showed that this person's martial arts were obviously higher than Guo Ziyi's.
