Chapter Ninety-Four: Conquering Shen Lindong
There are few shops and people in the city, but there are many prostitution halls, and after the camp, Zhang Xiaowu let the soldiers have fun in the city, but everyone was not allowed to cause trouble. Zhang Xiaowu repeatedly told him not to fight with others here, if he found that the soldiers of the dead battalion were jealous and fighting privately, he decided not to slack off, and the soldiers immediately promised not to cause trouble.
Zhang Xiaowu asked Wang Pi why this place was so special, and Wang Pi said: "Li Gao tried to break through Jincheng, destroy the men and plunder the female slaves, and after the Qinglong Army recovered the Golden City, although these Han women were rescued, they had nowhere to go. The military advisor took pity on them and allowed the women to engage in prostitution. The sergeants look for prostitutes when they have spare money, which can be regarded as a two-way foil. ”
Zhang Xiaowu nodded slightly, although he was helpless, he might as well give the women hope to live.
Wang Pi teased: "These prostitutes are really pitiful, but they are also interesting, although they live on men, many people keep men in private. But whenever there is a person in the army who is good-looking or has a different body, these women will try to make him their own face. If you go to have fun, I'm afraid you don't have to spend money, but you can get some red letters. ”
Hu Sanwan asked: "What is the meaning of being burdened?" ”
Wang Pi smiled: "Either the tongue is special, or the crotch is special, if you are interested, you can go to the prostitution hall to find a prostitute to taste, can you rank within the top 100 in this Golden City?" ”
Everyone laughed, and Hu Sanwan shouted: "Naturally, I can get in, when it comes to things under the crotch, I always talk nonsense second, and no one says first." Zhang Xiaowu coaxed: "Brothers, pick him up!" Let him smack! Everyone immediately rushed forward, and Hu Sanwan shouted: "No, your mother, who pinched my ass!" ”
Early the next morning, a thin man in his thirties came to the post station with an entourage of guards, Zhang Xiaowu and others thought that this was the famous sergeant Gu Yong, and everyone saluted: "The sixth regiment of the dead soldier battalion, meet the military master." ”
The thin man laughed, stroked his beard and said: "In the lower army, Sima Ruan Qingwen, Gu Junshi's staff, but the little general misunderstood. ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly asked the military advisor if he had any important matter to summon me and others, but Ruan Qingwen said that it was a private matter. It turned out that Gu Yong's daughters secretly ran away to Saibei with their generals without telling their families, and after coming to the wasteland, they experienced getting lost and being intercepted by horse bandits, and finally came to Jincheng.
Gu Yong knew that the day of the decisive battle was coming, so he sent someone to escort his daughters back to the Two Wolves Pass.
Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said, "So this Gu Junshi's daughter ...... Was it us who escorted you to Mucheng? ”
"It's an escort to the Two Wolves Pass." Ruan Qingwen emphasized, "When they arrived at the Two Wolves Pass, the guards from the Gu family chased them and sent them back to the Longdu Gu Mansion. ”
Zhang Xiaowu asked, "They? How many daughters does Gu Junshi have? ”
Ruan Qingwen said: "Two daughters and a niece, and that niece is the county lord, so you must not neglect this escort." ”
Zhang Xiaowu nodded and accepted, if it wasn't for the purpose of escorting his daughter, he was afraid that this battalion of dead soldiers would stay on the front line, and he didn't know which unit he would be merged into. Accepting the task and allowing the Dead Battalion to escape from the decisive battle, although Zhang Xiaowu can't do business, he still understands the pros and cons. If it weren't for the fact that the front-line army was not easily transferred, the battalion of the dead would not have had such luck to get out of the battlefield.
After Ruan Qingwen left, all the generals smiled and said: "Xiao Zuo, you are unmarried, they are not married, why don't you take the opportunity to curry favor?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said that I have a wife first, unless the emperor's relatives are willing to be concubines, I don't mind. Just after noon, Nguyen Thanh Van came with some sergeants to escort a person. Zhang Xiaowu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Shen Lindong, the person who was tied up with flowers, and asked what was the matter.
"This man can cause trouble." Ruan Qingwen said with a smile that it turned out that because of this, Shen Lindong was originally the commander of the Fifth Regiment, and after returning to Jincheng last night, he asked his old subordinates to drink and catch up with the past. However, when he came to the Fifth Regiment, he learned that his henchmen were no longer in the formation, and Shen Lindong spent money to know that all those old subordinates and henchmen had been plotted and demoted to the First Regiment, which was specifically responsible for digging latrines and sending feces and urine. Every day before dawn, these sergeants would dig dung in the dry toilets in various parts of the Yashan camp, and then take the feces and urine to the fields to apply fertilizer, and then return to the Yashan camp after washing the manure buckets at night.
Shen Lindong was angry at the theory of seeking enemies, but was sneered at, Shen Lindong was so angry that he fought hard, although he beat more than a dozen soldiers and was finally captured. If no one had known that Shen Lindong was the captain of the dead soldier battalion, then the dead soldier battalion was entrusted by the military division, and the people of the fifth regiment would have beaten Shen Lindong to death long ago.
Zhang Xiaowu looked at Shen Lindong, who was beaten into a pig's head, and said helplessly: "You deserve this job, you are still a captain, and your heart is not as calm as a soldier." What I told before, don't cause trouble, don't make trouble, don't be impulsive, you're all fucking guilty! ”
Shen Lindong hung his head and didn't speak, compared to being hurt by his body, watching his former subordinates being humiliated made his heart twist. He thinks that he is brave and brave, and he is worthy of filial piety, but he does everything badly, and his constant failures and setbacks make him doubt himself and feel useless.
Ruan Qingwen sent Shen Lindong to him, then turned around and left, Zhang Xiaowu's eyes turned to stop Ruan Sima, and said with a smile: "Lord Sima, the military advisor has a personal matter for me to do, and I also have a private matter to ask him to do." ”
Ruan Qingwen said angrily: "What can you do?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu turned to Shen Lindong and said, "My subordinate is extremely stupid, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice his life to fight for his old friend, but this person is so affectionate that I can't bear him to be decadent." So I only ask for a private matter, asking the military master to ask a few soldiers who pick up dung, presumably this matter is not difficult to do. ”
Ruan Qingwen was stunned at first, then smiled, and said, "I see, there are only a few soldiers who pick up dung, and I did it for the adults." ”
Zhang Xiaowu sent Ruan Qingwen out of the post station all the way, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Shen Lindong suddenly kneeling on one knee in front of him, still with his head down but trembling all over. Zhang Xiaowu took a half step back and said, "What do you mean by this?" "He has never seen anyone kneel on one knee, in his previous life, he only knew that the marriage proposal was kneeling on one knee, could it be this Shen Lindong......
After a while, Shen Lin Dongfang choked up and said, "Thank you, regardless of your past suspicions, save face for me, and ...... for my brothers."
Zhang Xiaowu stepped forward to help Shen Lindong, looked at his red eyes and red and swollen head, a little funny and a little helpless, and said: "They are all men, just talk about it." Although you and I have had conflicts, but as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, we will have to work together for many years in the future. You are the first person in my account to be a general, I hope you can cheer up, the army still relies on you. ”
Shen Lindong was even more moved, regretting his recklessness in his heart, and secretly determined to repay him with a good life.
In the evening, eight soldiers who carried dung were sent to the post station, and after seeing Shen Lindong, they came forward to hug their heads and cry. Shen Lindong was also very excited, slapped his subordinates one by one, and comforted: "From now on, I will definitely live up to your expectations." After Shen Lindong calmed down, he shook his head to the ground at Zhang Xiaowu and said solemnly: "From now on, Shen Lindong will only serve adults." ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and helped him up: "You and I are robes, siblings, and we should support each other." "To subdue Shen Lindong, you need to pay attention to methods, this kind of person is unruly and untamable, and he is also affectionate, he has found the right way and opportunity, and he has taken one by one, but Zhang Xiaowu didn't expect the opportunity to appear so early and so unexpectedly.
