Chapter 17: Military Law II
"Back to General, the case has been investigated, but this case is not because someone is jealous and resentful, but because it is related to the older generation of the two."
"Oh, what's going on?"
"The murderers are Shen Dalang under the last general and Shen Erlang under Vice General Zhao, these two are biological brothers.
Because. Shen Shande, the father of the Shen brothers, coveted Xie Xuan's father's property and devised a plan to let Xie Xuan's father die unjustly in prison, and Xie Xuan's mother also died of depression soon after.
Xie Xuan then defected to the military camp, but the Shen family was killed by the whole family one night, and only the two brothers of the Shen family, who went out to play, escaped the catastrophe.
The Shen brothers thought that Xie Xuan had killed their entire family, so they found an opportunity to kill Xie Xuan and avenge their dead family. β
"Have you found it all out? Shen Dalang can plead guilty. β
"It's clear, because this matter is not only related to one of our camp tents, but also to Vice General Zhao's camp tent, so I sent someone to invite Vice General Zhao."
While speaking, the so-called report said that Vice President Zhao was coming.
"The last general has seen General Chu, General Zhao, I don't know if Lord Song sent someone to call me here, what's the matter?"
"That's right, yesterday about the case of Xie Xuan's fall from the horse, I have investigated it clearly, and the murderers are Shen Dalang under me and Shen Erlang under you."
"How is this possible? Why did my subordinates want to harm Xie Xuan, could it be that they had some personal grudges. β
"Indeed, there is a hatred between them for killing their fathers and destroying their families."
Song Dongyang told Vice General Zhao the ins and outs of the matter.
"I see, such a person can't stay in the barracks, since this case is investigated by Lord Song, then I will leave it to you to deal with."
Song Dongyang asked what Wushuang and Zhao Changqing meant, and the two of them had no meaning.
Song Dongyang followed the military law and drove Shen Erlang, the elder of Shen, out of the barracks.
Song Dongyang walked towards the two brothers of the Shen family.
"According to military law, each of you will have 100 military sticks, and then you will be driven out of the barracks, and you two may have objections."
"Nope."
The two thought that they would definitely die, but although a hundred military sticks were inevitable, they still had a chance to live.
Wushuang asked people to tell the soldiers of the whole army about this matter, only saying that everyone is starting over when they enter the barracks, and the past grievances should disappear the moment they step into the barracks.
The whole army was in an uproar, originally thinking that someone was jealous of Xie Xuan, but he didn't expect that there was such a deep blood feud between Xie Xuan and the Shen family brothers.
After the beating of the military sticks, the two of them also lost most of their lives, Song Dongyang opened the net and let the two of them recuperate for ten days, and when the situation was better, they left the barracks.
At night, Xie Xuan secretly came to the camp of the two.
Because the two of them have been revoked from the military, they naturally can no longer live with the soldiers of the past.
The two brothers lived in a small tent.
The two of them were very surprised that Xie Xuan got it.
"What are you doing here, are you here to see my brothers' jokes?"
Xie Xuan didn't speak, he silently put down a bottle of Jinchuang Medicine, glanced at the two of them and left.
Shen Dalang looked at the bottle of gold sore medicine that Xie Xuan put down, thoughtful.
The cavalry selection passed quickly, and this selection really selected a lot of people.
Although it is not said that everyone is like Xie Xuan, it is also good.
Looking at it this way, the cavalry of the past is really not serious.
Zhao Changqing pondered in his heart, replacing the cavalry of the past like this.
After discussing it with the four of them, the idea was dismissed.
"General Zhao, the cavalry before was according to the old method, and everyone didn't have any meaning at that time.
And now, seeing that this new method works very well, we are going to replace the old cavalry, what should those cavalrymen think?
This newly selected cavalryman may not be at peace in his heart, and he is worried that he will be replaced one day. β
"Yes, General Zhao, those cavalry have rich combat experience, although their qualifications are not as good as this group of cavalry, but fortunately, they have rich combat experience on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is not bad.
It is also a very effective army. β
Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhao Changqing stifled this idea, but he was still a little lost in his heart.
New cavalry, and soon everyone was assigned their own horses.
Xie Xuan deliberately kicked Song Dongyang, hoping to get the war horse on his training ground.
Song Dongyang also knew how good Xie Xuan's kung fu was, and Xie Xuan must have taken a fancy to that horse when he did this.
asked Qihar to give the war horse to Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan also gave it a name, called Chasing the Wind.
Although the cavalry selection is over, the next thing is the assessment.
Once the cavalry is selected, it must be reorganized into an army, and since the army is reorganized, it is certain that officials at all levels must be elected.
This is where the cavalry assessment begins.
This cavalry assessment was very fast, because when everyone participated in the same selection, there were officials who recorded their performance scores.
This assessment is just to select some of the people with high scores and then screen, Xie Xuan is not surprised to serve as the deputy general of the cavalry.
Ten days passed quickly.
The two brothers of the Shen family also arrived when it was time to leave the barracks, before leaving, Shen Dalang went to bid farewell to Song Dongyang, and when he left the camp, his back was lonely.
Song Dongyang looked at the book on his desk, took a sip of tea, and went to Xie Xuan with the book.
Walking over from afar, I saw Xie Xuan riding a horse, galloping wantonly on the training ground.
Heroic and cool.
"Vice General Xie, come here, I have something to look for you."
Xie Xuan, who was riding on a horse, heard this, stopped, and handed the horse to the guards on the side.
"Lord Song, is there anything wrong?"
Song Dongyang handed the book in his hand to Xie Xuan.
"This book was handed over to you by Shen Dalang, he said, I'm sorry, this book will be regarded as compensation, and he also said that he hopes that after you make a contribution, you will find him to avenge the murder of your father."
Xie Xuan looked at the book and smiled.
"What revenge is it for killing my father, his father is dead, or is my father his father, his father is dead, what revenge do I have?
I killed him, his son killed me, my son killed his son, so when will I stop?
Forget it, it's all in the past, didn't General Chu say that no matter what he experienced before, at the moment of stepping into the evenness, the future and the past should disappear, and there is only one thing in the future is to make contributions. β
Song Dongyang looked at the man in front of him, his face was still so immature, but the words he said were not naΓ―ve at all.
"It's best if you think like this, just accept this book, it's also a little guilt that Shen Dalang feels for you."
"This book is the peerless learning of Shen Dalang's grandfather's family, and it has always been kept secret."
"That's fine, the Shen family's eldest brother almost killed Huangquan, and giving you the family's mastery can be regarded as making up for his mistakes."
Xie Xuan took the book into his arms and bowed to Song Dongyang.
"Thank you Lord Song for this trip."
"What's this, you and I are still so polite, we will all be colleagues in the future, so naturally we will help each other."
"Yes, I didn't expect to be a lieutenant, from when our family was at home, my father and my mother forced me to study, I didn't want to, but I liked horseback riding very much.
My father was a businessman, and although he was kind and respected, my father always felt that he had a low status and always felt that he was a good reader, so he had to force me to go down the road of studying.
But I yearn for the feeling of freedom on a horse and galloping between heaven and earth. β
"You, you don't want to be restricted, but it's okay, reading has the benefit of reading, and practicing martial arts has the benefit of practicing martial arts. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and everything must be viewed dialectically. β
"Actually, I still have some hatred for the two brothers of the Shen family, after beating the military stick that day, I originally wanted to kill them, but after thinking about it, what can I do if I kill the two brothers, my father and mother can't survive.
Besides, if I kill them, then what's the difference between me and his father, who cares about people's lives. I only kill the enemy, and to be honest, both of them are innocent too. β
"It's really good that you can think so. If you delete the two of them and have the blood of innocent people on your hands, you will not be able to live in peace in this life.
If you are known by others, you will only end up like them, or even worse than them, but fortunately you stopped yourself from the precipice, that dangerous idea. β
"I left them a bottle of gold sore medicine, which can be regarded as a matter of benevolence. We have our own acquaintances, who doesn't say how good the relationship is, but it's much better than a nodding acquaintance. β
"Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, and many things will naturally have his retribution.
The father of the two brothers of the Shen family let your father die unjustly in prison, and finally ended up with a whole family being wiped out, which can be regarded as a kind of retribution. β
Xie Xuan looked at the horse called Chasing the Wind on the training ground, and his eyes were full of smiles.
"Yes, forget it, it's all in the past, don't mention it, the current life is pretty good, I like my life now."
Song Dongyang hammered Xie Xuan for a moment.
"You, say you have no heart and lungs, and it's not like it, say you're silent, it's very noisy today.
It's just that you don't want to tell others what you just said, because if others know, they won't have to say something about you. β
"I see, thank you for the reminder."
After the cavalry assessment, this cavalry army can be regarded as officially entering daily training.
In order to make a distinction with the cavalry army that preceded it.
It was called the cavalry detachment.
Looking at the moment, the morale of the soldiers is high, and they discuss that it is time to move forward, and they can't always stop moving.
But now there is one of the biggest problems at hand, which is to stabilize the rear.
The other peerless ones fought in front, but the backyard caught fire, and at that time they were back to the enemy.
Although the Huns were subdued, the surrounding Wusu and Yuezhi could not be underestimated.
If these two tribes were united, it would be enough of a headache for them.
"General Zhao, Captain Zhao, let's think of a way to sign an alliance with Wusu and Yuezhi.
Don't wait for us to fight in front, they will surround me from behind. β
"General Chu is right, these two tribes are indeed the top priority right now, and they need to be dealt with.
It's just that this Wusun and Yuezhi have never fought with us, so should we send someone to talk to him about the conditions first. β
"That's definitely the case, don't do it if you can move your mouth, we mainly overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty, not expand the territory."
"Then the first step is to send two envoys to the two tribes to negotiate and see what these two tribes mean?
If you cooperate with us, we can promise them as we promised with the Huns, and if we don't cooperate, we can only meet each other in arms. β
"What the military advisor said makes sense, salute first and then soldier, before officially starting a war with the imperial court, these two tribes must be resolved.
We can't let the slightest mistake go wrong in our rear, we can't let this happen. β
Several people all agreed on Rouge's meaning.
"And who should these two messengers send?"
"I think it's better to send Song Dongyang, last time he went to Heilongzhai to recruit An, it was very good, this time I will send him too!"
"We are going to send two people to envoy to the two tribes this time, and in addition to Song Dongyang, we will send another person."
