Chapter 28: The Ten-Day Exercise

On October 4, General Bin Bai led the soldiers of Yitun County to Yunmengze to pursue the thieves, but after several days of searching, he still found nothing, and it was not until the morning of the military drill on the day of the military drill that he returned to the school field in a huff.

After coming back, General Bin Baijiang felt that something was wrong: those county guards who had stayed in the school field for the past few days dared to whisper when they saw him from afar, and his opponent Chen Baijiang seemed to be smiling.

In the end, one of his cronies whispered a few words in his ear, and General Bin Bai knew what was going on.

"Is that true?"

His face was full of incredulity, how could it be? When he left, the black man would only stand and squat in place, without any progress, how could it become "orderly" in the mouth of the crowd after a few days?

However, at this time, it was too late for Bin Bai to find out the reason, and just after the meal, the two county lieutenants of Anlu County had already arrived outside the door......

In the distance, General Bin Bai and General Chen Bai, who greeted them outside the school grounds, saw a two-horse chariot slowly coming, and two military officials stood on the cart, they were wearing knee-length shirts, front breastplates with colored straps and colored lace, long silk underneath, pointed shoes on their feet, and double long crowns on their heads.

The two of them stood side by side, and after getting off the bus, they humbled each other, and finally walked into the school together.

The right lieutenant of the county is a chief official, named Du Xian, who is a person from the Guanzhong of the Qin State, who was transferred to Anlu three years ago, with a typical Guanzhong face, two thick beards on his lips, and a Qin accent when he speaks, which is incompatible with the local Chu Yin.

The county lieutenant was an adjutant, named Yun Man, and was a native of Anlu. The Yun family has a long history, which can be traced back to the princes Yun Ziguo four or five hundred years ago, and in the hundreds of years of Chu rule, the Yun family also served as a local doctor for generations. Until the Qin State occupied Jianghan, part of the Yun clan moved east with the king of Chu, and some of them stayed, becoming the largest local power in the region. Yun Man's beard is relatively sparse, his eyes are slender, and he greets the school officials in the local dialect very kindly.

The two were smiling and looked very intimate, but only the cronies of General Bin Bai and General Chen knew that although the two county lieutenants did not fight on the surface, they had been fighting secretly.

It can be said that because the right lieutenant Du Xian is a foreign official, he tends to cultivate outsiders, local people, or talents transferred from the county school, such as Chen Baijiang. Zuo Wei Yunman represents the local forces, and likes to bring the deceased with relatives such as Bin Baijiang and Huyang Pavilion Chief.

But no matter how big the difference in their backgrounds and personalities is, and how big the contradictions accumulated on weekdays, they still work together under the laws of the Qin State, and they have not torn their faces so far, but their cronies such as Bin Baijiang and Chen Baijiang are fighting happily.

Du Xian and Yun Man entered the school field together, sat on the earthen platform, Du Xian was in the main seat, Yun Man was in the secondary seat, and they still did not stop talking.

As local military governors, in addition to today's weather, they talked more about the recent military operations of the Qin State.

"Can Lieutenant Zuo see the good news from the county this morning?" Du Xian's thick beard was full of smiles.

"The subordinates saw it." Yun Man also put on a subordinate posture and said with a smile: "I only learned a few days ago that the king was raising troops to attack Yan, but I never thought that there would be results so quickly!" ”

"It's nature." Du Xian touched his beard and said: "After all, it is the commander of the carriage, General Wang, who is the commander, and Yan and Dai are all defeated under him. ”

Yun Manchu was stunned: "Although the good news only arrived today, the battle was already in the middle of September last year. Now General Wang is afraid that he has conquered the capital of Yan and entered the siege of Jicheng! The general trend of Yan is gone. ”

"Hahaha, of course, the only thing that the people of Yan can rely on now is the harsh winter. I think that in two or three months, when the spring comes, you and I will be able to receive the good news of the destruction of the Yan Kingdom and the conferment of the head of the Yan King and the Prince Dan, but ......"

Du Xian's voice changed, and he lowered his face and said: "Although it is a good thing for Old General Wang to break Yan, it has little to do with Nanjun and my Anlu County. The county lieutenant also mentioned in his letter that the state of Chu was about to move recently, and there was a tendency to send troops to disturb the border, so at the beginning of the month, the old soldiers of various counties were transferred to the border pass for defense, and Anlu County was close to the state of Chu, so it was necessary to guard against it. ”

Yun Man lowered his voice and said, "According to the right lieutenant, will Qin Chu fight within this year?" ”

"There will be a small fight, and the state of Chu has always been the head of the alliance, and from time to time it has to send troops to beat it. But I'm afraid it won't. ”

Du Xian pointed to the north and said with a smile: "Don't forget, the Wei State in the north is still there!" ”

Yun Man seemed relieved: "In this way, you and I can still have a few years of pure life." ”

"Yes, yes, the king has destroyed Han Zhao, and the Yan Kingdom is just around the corner, sooner or later, a large army will be sent to attack Chu, we will inevitably lead the army to participate in the war at that time, or work hard to eliminate the thieves, train the soldiers, and wait patiently."

"Hahaha, the right lieutenant is reasonable, but I don't know if the right lieutenant will still be in Anlu at that time."

Du Xian's face froze, and then he laughed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but there was no smile in their eyes, and they thought about each other.

Du Xian was showing that he was well-informed as the chief officer, but Yun Man did not confront him head-on, and only at the end did he say, "I don't know if the right lieutenant will still be in Anlu at that time." Because he heard that the county intended to transfer Du Xian to Yan County to serve, so that this old official in Guanzhong, who had suppressed him for three years, was going to get out of the way, and he was likely to miss a war to destroy the country.

Both of them have their own reliance, and they also have their own little Jiujiu, so they have been evenly matched for three years, and no one dares to completely turn their faces.

While they were chatting, the two hundred generals had already pulled up all the guards who had trained this month, and they were standing in the dark on the school field.

Only then did the two county lieutenants stop talking, and the right lieutenant Du Xian nodded to General Chen Bai and said, "Let's start!" ”

General Chen Bai promised and ordered the drumming, and in the rumbling of the drums, the ten-day competition officially began......

……

"General Chen Bai, this month's shift, the order of the army is very ordinary."

The right lieutenant Du Xian knelt on the pu mat behind the desk, looked at the more soldiers who walked by in turn under the stage, and shook his head.

Starting from Jiashi, there have been nine Shishi queues up to walk through the stage, demonstrating the four basic queues of sitting and rising, walking and stopping, left and right, and front and back.

As for dividing and uniting and dissolving, all the guards will be trained together in the next few days, and some sticks and bamboos will be distributed as substitutes for Ge and spears. If you want to really get weapons, you have to wait for the official conscription into the army, and the Qin State is still very strict in the management of military standard weapons.

However, in Du Xian's opinion, even the simplest four queues, these pawns are poorly practiced.

Jia Shi was the best he had ever seen, and the Shi Changyuan Bai who stood at the front was an old soldier, and the soldiers he brought out were barely neat when he marched. I just don't know why, today is a cold winter day, but Yuanbai is sweating profusely and a little absent-minded, and when demonstrating "left and right", he almost turned in the wrong direction.

Even the first tithes are like this, and the rest of the eight tithes B, C, D, E, G, XIN, and Ren are even more unsatisfactory.

Some of them were scattered, some were out of order, some were inconsistent and crooked, and when some shouted to stop and stand, some of them walked forward in a daze, and bumped into the people in front of them, causing the queue to be even more chaotic, and the others could not help but laugh.

Looking at this scene, Du Xian's face turned dark, this morning the county asked him to strengthen his guard and pay close attention to training, and he was really angry to see these soldiers so unbearable at noon. Chen Baijiang looked at the right lieutenant's face from the side, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Yun Man was very optimistic, and said with relief beside him: "The right lieutenant can be relieved, after all, he is a more soldier, and in just ten days, can he still train into an elite soldier?" What's more, most of the veterans were called up to the border to guard the police, and most of the people who came to serve this time were young people who were not strong, how could they be compared with the county guards and old soldiers? ”

"That makes sense."

Du Xian tried to suppress his anger, he had already seen that of the nine Shili, Jiashi was the best, as for the others...... If it were possible, he really wanted to evaluate the eight "palaces" in a row and punish them severely, so as to see who would dare not take the military drill to heart in the future!

At this time, General Chen Bai came over and said, "Two officials, there is another one who has never practiced." ”

"Presumably, it's the same as the previous ones, so don't look at it." Zuo Wei Yunman glared at General Bin Bai in the distance and said coldly.

What kind of line is this, Chen Baijiang hurriedly said: "The subordinate dares to sue the county lieutenant, this is the best practiced among all the pawns, and its chief is the Yunmengxiang Heifu who was worshiped as a public servant a few days ago because of the capture of three Yunmengze thieves, the right lieutenant, do you remember?" ”

"It turned out to be him!"

Du Xian nodded, he remembered that the county jail had specially greeted him, and he could allow this black man to be late for a day. Later, Chen Baijiang also mentioned it, saying that Heifu was hated and embarrassed by Zuo Wei's son-in-law Bin Baijiang because he won the lawsuit of the Huyang Pavilion Chief......

Thinking like this, Du Xian glanced at Lieutenant Zuo's face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "As a county lieutenant, it is the duty of the Ten Days Dabi, how can there not be a beginning and an end?" General Chen, let Gui Shi come up quickly, and let us see what kind of person the thief warrior is. ”

"Yui!"

General Chen Baijiang showed a smug smile at the iron-faced Bin Baijiang, he waved the flag in his hand, and walked over slowly after waiting for a long time on the other side of the school field.

Du Xian straightened up and looked over, but saw that the first person in the queue was a dark-skinned man, he was seven and a half feet tall, his steps were steady, his expression was solemn, although he was holding an ordinary thick bamboo pole, but in his hand, it seemed to have become a bright military flag, or a sharp spear!

The people of Shi Shi followed Shi Chang's pace like this, and the queue came into view in a neat manner......
