Chapter 2: Sharpening the Edge (5 Below)
He had the intention of completely subduing this group of horse thieves into a force that could be relied on at critical moments, so he did not hesitate to offer what he thought was the most tempting reward. Who would have thought that the identity of the Tang Dynasty people, who had made the Japanese thirteen look forward to for more than ten years, could not play any role in inspiring the horse thieves. Everyone just thanked them perfunctorily, and then lowered their heads one after another. It seems that Wang Xun's promise is not taken seriously at all.
Didn't they understand what I was saying? The reality was far from expectations, and Wang Xun frowned in embarrassment, his eyes full of confusion. In my memory, in order to get the household registration of the people of the Tang Dynasty, it took nearly ten years of hard work. And the Loulan people and the Tuqi Shi people who are following behind him now, when it comes to how the life of the Tang people is, who is not full of envy? Which one would be like this gang of horse thieves, who didn't even look at the household registration of the Heavenly Empire?
There is the Word, the name of a man, and the shadow of a tree. His current image has been rumored to be described as an eight-armed Shura, enough to make people change color when they talk about it. At this moment, his brows furrowed, and immediately an invisible pressure slowly spread around the place where his feet were standing. When the horse thieves saw this, they didn't dare to meet his gaze, and buried their heads in their waists one by one, and if they lowered a little lower, they would burrow the whole person into the dirt.
Sha Qianli was still alert, and when he found that the atmosphere at the scene was wrong, he hurriedly came forward to play a round for Wang Xun. "You birdmen, donkey feathers in your ears?" Tearing his throat open, he shouted at the horse thieves, "The Hammer King, what the old man just meant, if you are willing to do a good job, he will take you as house slaves." Children and grandchildren will follow him to eat and drink spicy food! ”
"Thank you, Master!" "Master Xie" The horse thieves woke up like a dream and fell to the ground happily. Some people couldn't hold back their excitement, and after kowtowing, they actually beat their chests and sang. Although Wang Xun didn't understand a word of the content in the lyrics, the gratitude contained in the song was fake.
Such an absurd scene made Wang Xun cry and laugh. What's wrong with these guys? Is it more tempting to be a domestic slave than to be an ordinary person in freedom? But now was certainly not the time to discuss these issues, and since the horse thieves were willing, he had no choice but to push the boat. Anyway, he still has a lot of land on the banks of the Shule River that no one can help to clean up, and in the future, he will bring this group of horse thieves back to be tenants and herdsmen, and save them from causing trouble everywhere.
Thinking of this, he no longer takes the details seriously. First called Fang Ziling and Wei Feng and a few subordinates who had officials but did not make up for the corresponding vacancies, and asked them to divide the surrendered horse thieves into four regiments at will. Then he directly ordered Fang and Wei to be captains, and the others were brigade leaders and team leaders, and the shelves of two of the regiments were erected. Immediately, he brought the remaining two regimental horse thieves to Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan, and asked with a smile: "Don't hide it from the two seniors, the Zhonglang general who was just promoted before Wang Mou's envoy was sent out, there are just a few empty heads under his command. If the two seniors don't dislike it, please succumb to the position of lieutenant here in Wang first, and help me take care of these guys by the way. Let's talk about some other things from the beginning when we return to Anxi! ”
"This ......" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan froze, no one expected Wang Xun to be so generous. I think that at the beginning, they worked hard in the Anxi Army for several years, and only then did they barely get the dismissal of the lieutenants of Zhenwu one by one. If it weren't for the fact that the brothers were scattered and the group was leaderless, they might not have had the opportunity to make up for the real shortage of commanding a group of soldiers and horses in this life, and they would have commanded a group of men and horses alone. And today, as soon as he took refuge under the command of Lord Qincha, he was promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant. And the men and horses under their respective commands have also been expanded, from less than one regiment to two regiments of full quota.
You must know that at this moment, Wang Xun's own descendants, counting the prisoners who were added just now, are only four regiments of men. The two soldiers controlled by Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan together are enough to compete with the main general?
What a heart-to-heart decision it takes. How can the main commander who can make such a decision not be heartbroken? After a while, Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan looked at each other, jumped off their mounts together, and bowed their hands at Wang Xun, "My lord, my lord is so loving, the last general, the last general is ashamed!" ”
"The two seniors are really polite!" Wang Xun laughed and jumped off his mount, stretched out his hand to pull Sha and Huang together, "We are all seeking wealth on the tip of the knife, what are you doing with these kind words." Hurry up and train them out and put them in handy! To be honest, when you need to use two people to fight hard in the future, Wang will not be polite to you! ”
"I would like to hear from you!" "Dare not to serve the death of adults!" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan took another half step back and solemnly saluted Wang Xun.
At this moment, Wang Xun was sure that he really had the support of the two. He waved his hand with a smile and proposed loudly, "It's all from the Anxi Army, so we won't delay our efforts in the false ceremony." You two hurry up and get your team in order, and then go to the tent in the camel caravan to find me. I'll go over there first to appease the vendors, and by the way, I'll order some food to be prepared. Let's eat later, and discuss what to do next! ”
"Thank you, sir!" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan thanked each other in unison, and then happily reorganized their soldiers and horses.
Seeing the two leave, Wang Xun instructed Fang Ziling and Wei Feng to also rectify their respective subordinates, and then pulled Yu Wenzhi, Song Wu and others to return to the center of the camel team together.
In the center of the caravan, the traders witnessed a battle without suspense, and they had already admired the young Lord Qincha to the ground. Everyone is looking forward to it, this business has been going on as today, when they encounter a horse thief who can't open their eyes, they will come forward to cut it down, and when they encounter a little minion who comes to snoop, they will shoot into a hedgehog, showing off their might, and no one will have to be afraid anymore.
However, the vendors were not sure how far Lord Qincha was going to escort everyone away, and they did not dare to take the initiative to ask. As the lowest status among the four people of "Shinong Industry and Commerce", it is a rare honor for them to be able to follow the county lord to directly confront a few words. Not to mention, he pointed fingers at Lord Qincha. It was the emperor's messenger, a figure carrying Shang Fang's sword in his hand. If you're a little unhappy, I'll cut you first and then play it, who will you cry out for?
But once the expectation in my heart rises, it is difficult to suppress it. With their previous experience in dealing with the government, the vendors put together a congratulatory gift, and publicly recommended Cheng Siyuan, the shopkeeper of Cheng Ji, and the general "Mo Da" as representatives, waiting for the "reward master" in front of the gap in the camel team, hoping that this gift list would impress Lord Qincha, so that he could try his best to order the army under his command to escort everyone to go a little longer.
Qi Dazui and Chu Duyan, who happened to go to chase and kill the fleeing enemy, also rushed back to pay the order, and when they saw Cheng Shopkeeper and Mo Da, they took the initiative to say hello. Shopkeeper Cheng was worried about how to talk to Lord Qincha, and immediately grabbed the two of them, and said the sellers' requests like beans in a bamboo tube.
"I guess everyone is worried about it this time!" Qi Dazui hesitated slightly, then dropped his schoolbag with a smile, "If Lord Qincha hadn't been merciful, how could he have been willing to take me so far before?" Where is the final destination of his old man's trip, we should not ask, and we can't ask. But as long as he continues westward, we will follow the team, and I guess he will not refuse! ”
"That's, that's!" Because of the perennial bowing of his head to talk to people, the back of the shopkeeper Cheng is a little hunched, "But we have received the benefits of adults, how can we express something?" Otherwise, won't we be laughed at for not knowing etiquette? The two elder brothers are both people who can speak in front of Lord Qincha, as long as you make everyone's meaning clear later, everyone will definitely remember the benefits of the two of you in the future! ”
"It's all from the villagers, I'll just look at the benefits and disadvantages!" Just after tasting the taste of chasing the horse thief to the bout, Chu Duyan consciously broadened his vision and mind a lot, smiled, and declined the benefits promised by the shopkeeper Cheng, "Brother Qi and I will definitely try our best to bring everyone's intentions." Your old man and Brother Mo also have a little bit of eyes, don't ask for anything that shouldn't be made, don't mention it randomly! ”
"That's, that's!" There is a request for someone, when the shopkeeper Cheng nodded his waist, his back was hunched even lower, "You all know that Xiao Lao'er is never a person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat." But everyone has put their trust on the little old man, and the little old man has to probe the adult's tone. Later, please try your best to give the little old man a few kind words. And you, Mom, see me later......"
Turning his head, he just wanted to tell his companion a few words about the details that need to be paid attention to when meeting Lord Qincha, but he found that the always humble and polite family general "Mo Da" was holding his head up at the moment, staring in one direction with his eyes stupid. Shopkeeper Cheng was in a hurry, pushed the other party, and called in a low voice: "Moda, Moda, what are you looking at." Did you hear me say? ”
After a few pushes in a row, the general Mo Dacai came back to his senses, first glanced at the shopkeeper Cheng who was full of panic, and then glanced at Wang Xun, Yu Wenzhi and others who were gradually approaching from a distance, let out a long breath, and said to himself: "This is a man, this is the life that a man should live!" Wan Qi has lived in vain for half of his life, for half of his life! ”
"What do you say, great?!" Shopkeeper Cheng was confused, and pushed "Mo Da" on the arm again, and anxiously reminded, "Lord Qincha is coming back." Don't be rude in front of his old man! ”
"My name is Mo Da, my name is Wan Qian Yuxuan!" "Mo Da", who has always been kind to others, suddenly lost his temper, shook off the arm of the shopkeeper Cheng, and emphasized loudly, "You don't have to worry, what do you mean, I'll go and tell Lord Qincha." I had some friendship with him! However, from today onwards, Wan Qi will say goodbye to you. Wan Qi doesn't want to nest anymore! Wan Qi is going to live the life of a real man today! ”
