Chapter 70: The Prisoner (2)
Zhang Xiaowu knew that the prisoners were actually unconvinced, and one day he gathered everyone and announced in public that they were allowed to go head-to-head with him, if they could win him alone, they could move freely to come and go freely, and even return to the original camp, and even if they couldn't win, they would stay in the epidemic village honestly, waiting for their respective officials to come forward and recognize people.
At first, no one was willing to challenge this evil man, but after Zhang Xiaowu proposed that he could drink if he won, some people immediately chose to single out Zhang Xiaowu, but how these soldiers who had never been on the battlefield were Zhang Xiaowu's opponents, not to mention strength, even the reaction speed between life and death was far inferior. No matter how strong and unruly the prisoners can fight, they only insisted on three or four rounds when they fought against Zhang Xiaowu, and they were defeated, and some of the ones who couldn't fight were knocked out by Zhang Xiaowu before they could react.
Zhang Xiaowu was addicted, and he couldn't get enough of it, so he clapped his hands and said: "Bring the knife, let them all go, we have a life and death today, if you can kill me, you will be free, you can't kill me, I'm sorry, I'm going to kill you." ”
How dare the beaten criminals fight with this ruthless man who kills people without blinking, they are all too frightened to step forward. Either they were alone, or a group of people did not dare to look up at each other, and they were as honest as quails in prison, just waiting for themselves to be brought back.
After Zhang Xiaowu came to his senses, he also felt embarrassed, these prisoners were not bad people, and he almost killed someone for a while. He started talking to everyone, and everyone was also curious about whether this person was as powerful as the legend, but they found that this person was only a strong martial artist, and he was a thoughtful young general on weekdays. Everyone respects its bravery, fears its might, and does not dare to do anything here.
There is not much difference between the soldiers and the prisoners in the middle and rear of the epidemic village, but the places where they live are different, one is outdoors and the other is indoors. Zhang Xiaowu sent Wang Yijin to each battalion to bring the prisoners' bedding, and also reminded them that it was time to go back to collect people, but it was a pity that the battalions were confused, and Wang Yijin was inexplicable.
In addition, some of the prisoners and soldiers in the epidemic village had three meals a day and three cakes, and the prisoners wandered over on weekdays, and when they saw that the soldiers of the Houdu team were no different from their own food, they laughed, but they did not cause trouble. The prisoners did not feel that they were locked up, but felt that they were on vacation, there was no need to train, and several people were bragging and chatting together, but they were not lonely.
Once, when Zhang Xiaowu saw the soldiers at the door, he was so angry that he took him to the courtyard and beat him in public, and ordered him to stop serving for a month. The soldier cried, "My lord, I am a prisoner, not your subordinate. Zhang Xiaowu was even more angry, and asked where the soldier guarding the door was, and the beaten man said: "He went to, so I stood guard for him for a while, how did I think you were coming." ”
In order to distinguish between the prisoners and the soldiers, Zhang Xiaowu asked the soldiers of the Houdu team to wear red scarves on their shoulders so as not to confuse each other.
Knowing that Zhang Xiaowu had recently been obsessed with practicing archery, several soldiers who knew archery were eager to teach Zhang Xiaowu all their archery skills, and in the future, they would tell others that they had taught Zhang Xiaowu martial arts, and Zhang Xiaowu would teach them infantry martial arts in return.
Everyone admired Zhang Xiaowu's martial arts very much, but Zhang Xiaowu admired Hanlang very much.
People say that fools have foolish blessings, although Han Lang is not familiar with the world, he has practiced martial arts without distractions since he was a child, so that Zhang Xiaowu is cheaper, and he doesn't need to think about anything at all in every move during the battle. But Zhang Xiaowu sometimes felt scared, because sometimes he couldn't stop himself when he got into a fight, considering the reason why he was possessed after crossing, maybe that Hanlang didn't really die, just lived in his own martial arts world.
It's really scary to think about it like this, because he doesn't know whether he is Zhang Xiaowu or Hanlang, if he has a child in the future, it will be his own child or Hanlang's child......
A few days passed, and no one still cared about the arrangements of the prisoners, Zhang Xiaowu felt that it was very inappropriate, so he found Su Yu and asked about when the prisoners would be brought back. But Su Yu was busy buying land at the lowest price at this time, and several local gentry complained to the general, so naturally they didn't have time to pay attention to him, so they asked Guan Xiang to receive him.
Guan Xiang explained with a smile: "There are some thorns and pawns in each battalion and each formation, they don't make big mistakes, small mistakes keep coming, it's not so serious to kill, and keeping it will affect the morale of the army." Most of these prisoners are veterans, some want to go to the battlefield, and some are purely fed, so the general will leave them in the epidemic village and let you come to practice. ”
"Holy!" Zhang Xiaowu was so angry that he scolded a modern national scolding, and shouted: "Didn't you say that you would take it back after a while, what does it mean to stay for exercises?" Whose subordinates are they? ”
Guan Xiao said: "You train them and train them into usable talents, and these people are your subordinates." ”
"My subordinates? I can't afford to wait for this group of cowards. Zhang Xiaowu said disdainfully, in fact, his current soldiers are more cowardly, and the pawn at least has some ability to make mistakes and be punished, many soldiers in the Houdu team are incapable of being assigned to Zhang Xiaowu as a subordinate, but he wants to protect his subordinates, and deliberately said: "I don't know who came up with such a lack of moral idea, I don't want these more than 60 guys who cause trouble." ”
Guan Xiang smiled and said: "You are really boring, everyone is willing to have as many soldiers as possible, as the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places, and when soldiers fight, one is to seek wealth, the second is to seek officials, the third is to seek fame, and the fourth is to seek clan reputation, but all the premise must be that you can be a big official and command more troops." This time, you are asked to command a team of 160 people, but it is far beyond the establishment of the forbidden army, and you are still unwilling? ”
Zhang Xiaowu sneered: "Give me a big trouble and let me be grateful?" Do you think I'm a fool? This is another bad idea from Master Su, right? ”
Guan Xiao said: "You have wronged Master Su, he is just greedy for money, but he will not harm you - it is Zhou Shenjun's suggestion, he said that only you can suppress these bastard things." ”
Zhang Xiaowu was angry and said, "I haven't offended him, right?" ”
Guan Xiang said: "Naturally, you haven't offended him, but he admires you very much." ”
"This kind of appreciation, don't do it, don't do it!" Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly, and suddenly asked: "If I clean them up and cripple them, will anyone support them?" ”
"Absolutely not." Guan Xiao leaned over and said in a low voice, "The favorite soldiers of each battalion have long been led back by their respective officers, and those who stay to send you here are all thorns with poor popularity, you can rest assured that you can clean it up." ”
It can be reassured that Zhang Xiaowu can do whatever he wants, but if he really does it and kills a few prisoners, I am afraid that it will not be easy in the future. He thought that he couldn't force the prisoners, he had to think of a good way, especially since these prisoners were aggressive, and they often fought when they got together.
Zhang Xiaowu followed Su Yu's example and set up a square ring with a length and width of two zhang in the center of the school field, saying that there was a contradiction between the two of them, and the two could be solved separately in the ring, and the fist was the truth.
