Chapter 154 Military parade
Chapter 154: Military Parade
Li Chao was a material for doing things, and in less than two days, he brought two battalions of energetic strong soldiers to Tanzhou. This made Shi Bin very happy, because this would have enough time to discuss the specific matters of the parade with Liu Zhenxiao, as well as to make necessary arrangements with him.
As soon as he heard the news, Shi Bin went out of the yamen and returned to the mansion, because he knew that Li Chao must be waiting for him in the study of the mansion at this time, because these things can only be said in private, and they will not be seen.
When I entered the door of the study, I saw Li Chao sitting leisurely with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a teacup in one hand and knocking on the table rhythmically with the other.
"Brother Xian is doing well, he really enjoys it, and he can drink so tastefully with a cup of tea." Shi Bin walked in with a smile and joked at Li Chao.
"Of course the eldest brother understands the hard work, but the younger brother really can't stand the hard work of the eldest brother, so he can be the little brother, haha." Li Chao also replied, so that Shi Bin could only smile indifferently.
"Brother Xian, Xu Feng made it clear to you what I meant, right?"
"Xu Feng, don't worry, he said it clearly, these two battalions of soldiers and horses are first going to parade to Liu Zhenxiao, so that he knows the depth of knowledge; The second is to go to Dingzhou to exterminate the peasant rebel army. Li Chao replied.
After finishing speaking, Li Chao looked at the handcuff hanging on the wall on the side, and said to Shi Bin: "Big brother, little brother has an idea, I don't know if right..."
Of course, Li Chao is also a wise and brave person, although he is slightly inferior to Wang San, he is also a good military advisor, and he will definitely not be untargeted, Shi Bin immediately smiled and signaled to him to say his thoughts, without restraint.
"Actually, what I'm worried about is not big or small, but I just don't want to give people the truth. Even if you are honest, with your father-in-law here, as long as it is not someone who wants us to recover, it is nothing. Li Chao said again.
If you fall into the truth, you will never recover? This made Shi Bin a little worried.
"What did Brother Xian say? Could it be that it refers to our Shi Bin gun? Shi Bin asked uncertainly.
"Yes. In fact, these are lice on the bald head, obvious things. It's okay to use it in battle, but it's not suitable for military parades, which is a bit too maverick. At this time, it is not appropriate to attract attention in this way. ”
Indeed, this is too dazzling, it is inevitable that some villains will pour dirty water on themselves, Shi Bin immediately agreed with Li Chao's opinion, saying that the parade still uses the standard equipment of the Song Army. However, Shi Bin was worried that he would not be able to completely deter Liu Zhenxiao, so he frowned.
"Big brother doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be guns to deter others, let's not worry, think about it carefully, we should be able to change the way." Li Chao said with a smile.
Another way? This time, Shi Bin immediately thought of a very familiar way: standing in a military posture.
When he was engaged in military training, he was sweating profusely when he stood for ten minutes, and none of his friends did not shout, and he would rather run for half an hour than stand in a military posture for ten minutes.
When Shi Bin said this method, Li Chao was also like a treasure, but this bad kind added a one: let Liu Zhenxiao follow Shi Bin and stand with him, and it would be better to experience it in person, which would be good for his body.
Sure enough, it was a senior staff, Shi Bin was overjoyed after hearing it, fully agreed with his suggestion, and said that he and he should stand up straight, so that Liu Zhenxiao could understand as deeply as possible.
However, after all, it is only a group of village soldiers under his command, and although his physical fitness is certainly good, most of them will still lack some necessary qualities, such as discipline.
Therefore, Shi Bin decided not to let Liu Zhenxiao know that the two battalions of township soldiers had arrived in Tanzhou, but asked Li Chao to train them outside the city for seven days, and first review the basic queue and military posture before speaking.
The two items of standing military posture and basic queue are very easy for veterans who have already had strict training to pick them up again, but they look good in five days, and it is enough to fool Liu Zhenxiao, a layman.
I don't want to waste time, the sooner I go to the army, the sooner I can destroy the peasant rebels, and then I can get the honorarium one day earlier.
After Shi Bin inspected it, he immediately ordered Xu Feng to inform Liu Zhenxiao to go to the Tanzhou military camp that afternoon to inspect the troops.
As a Wenchen, a guy who has never even killed chickens, it has always been his ideal to lead troops to the battle, if he is not afraid of death, this time he also wants to come to the battle. Since you don't dare to lead the troops, then retreat to the second, review and review the troops, and feel the iron-blooded atmosphere.
As soon as he heard Xu Feng's letter, Liu Zhenxiao rarely did not procrastinate, and after eating, he walked straight to the Tanzhou military camp.
Arrived outside the camp gate in less than a quarter of an hour, the situation was very different from his memory, in the past, there were ruffians in disheveled clothes and foul language, but now they are neatly dressed and full of spirit, which makes Liu Zhenxiao have to admire Shi Bin's ability to lead the troops, and also look forward to the parade even more.
I thought that the military parade would be fun, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, I was startled by the sudden standing of the eight soldiers guarding the gate of the camp.
The sudden ease of change to nervousness made this loose official who had been in the top position for a long time very uncomfortable for a while, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Although this feeling made people a little nervous, it also gave Liu Zhenxiao a preliminary understanding of Shi Bin's soldiers.
After walking less than twenty steps, Shi Bin took Wang San and Li Chao to greet Liu Zhenxiao.
The old fritters in officialdom are best at greeting each other with a smile, so as soon as they met, Liu Zhenxiao was ready to greet Shi Bin with a smile on his face. But he never thought that Shi Bin did not make an official salute after approaching, but gave a military salute without smiling, which gave Liu Zhenxiao another surprise.
In fact, Liu Zhenxiao was already a little unhappy at this time, and secretly scolded Shi Bin for being brainless, so he would not be a little soothed. It was very tiring for him to walk and have to hold his chest and stomach all the time. However, he can only endure it if he asks for it, and he can't put up with the official.
Soon arrived at the playground, looking at the soldiers in front of him, Liu Zhenxiao was very satisfied, nodded happily, and couldn't stop praising Shibin for being worthy of his name.
Shi Bin, Wang San and others would not be confused by these fluttering good words at this time, and quickly invited Liu Zhenxiao to the main stage. said that Liu Zhenxiao was asked to review these 'unsuccessful' shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command.
These words also made Liu Zhenxiao not so happy, knowing that Shi Bin was clearly showing off, but he said it like a runaway general who only knew how to escape, but out of courtesy, he had to fight haha.
"Lord Liu, please take a look." Shi Bin said as he waved the flag to the left. The soldiers in the audience immediately turned left collectively, in unison, like one person.
How come Liu Zhenxiao, who is full of poetry books and rich students, has not read poems and articles describing the army, and has not heard stories about the march? However, it is better to see than to hear, such a strong visual impact made him secretly glad that he was not stupid and had an endless fight with Shi Bin.
You know, this Shi Bin started by assassination, and he doesn't talk so much about integrity, if he really provokes him, maybe he will send his subordinates to let him Liu Zhenxiao die suddenly in the bedroom one day, thinking of these Liu Zhenxiao cold sweat, he began to throw a kind look at Shi Bin.
Seeing Liu Zhenxiao, who looked like this, knew that the shock had already had an effect, Shi Bin and Wang San were very happy, and then started queue training, which was still very neat.
However, Liu Zhenxiao always felt that something was missing, and after thinking about it, he finally figured out that the group of soldiers in the audience was the standard weapon of the Song Dynasty - a single knife, spear and shield, but there was no standard weapon in his Shi Bin army - Shi Bin gun and wooden handle Shaking Thunder.
Okay, it's getting more and more slippery, knowing that if you don't take these things out to show off, you won't be truthful, Liu Zhenxiao scolded secretly, and deliberately asked: "Shi Tongju, why didn't this official see your housekeeping weapon?" That Shi Bin spear and wooden handle shook the sky? ”
"Housekeeping weapons? Lord Liu, don't make fun of me, that's the equipment of the imperial court, where is my Shi Bin's housekeeping weapon? Don't talk so nonsense, don't trap me in injustice. Shi Bin said with a smile.
Seeing that Shi Bin didn't admit it, Liu Zhenxiao couldn't help it, but he thought that he had caught a loophole in Shi Bin, so he immediately spoke: "Lord Shi, the queue of your army is indeed good, but this queue can't kill the enemy, I don't know how to reflect the combat effectiveness of this army?" ”
I knew that Liu Zhenxiao would have such a remark, Shi Bin waved the flag again, and all the soldiers took out their weapons and started the simplest training.
This made Liu Zhenxiao very disappointed, in his concept, there should be more warriors with strong martial arts in battle, rather than these stupid and half-people who only know one or two basic movements. 'Warm wine and slashing Huaxiong', '100 steps through Yang', and 'picking a pulley' are what he admires.
Looking at Liu Zhenxiao's face, Shi Bin certainly understood what he was thinking, and he didn't intend to explain, so he directly ordered a soldier to come out of the ranks, put a big stone in front of him, and asked him to perform chopping.
Liu Zhenxiao thought that he understood Shi Bin's little tricks, and he didn't break it, and planned to split the boulder himself later, so that Shi Bin would also lose face. 、
Liu Zhenxiao, a military man who came out of the ranks, also knew that it was just an ordinary soldier, and he also agreed with letting him perform this power splitting boulder.
As soon as the knife went down, a burst of sparks flashed, and the big stone in front of the soldier had cracked.
"Treasure Sword!" Liu Zhenxiao said excitedly.
Although he already had a preconceived idea that Shi Bin was fooling him, Liu Zhenxiao still liked this obviously well-forged knife, so he wanted to ask Shi Bin to give him this knife.
In Shi Bin's army, this is just an ordinary single knife, sending one is nothing at all, even sending fifty is such a big deal, Shi Bin is naturally happy to do this favor.
Liu Zhenxiao happily accepted the 'treasure knife' and immediately turned his face, and said slyly: "Lord Shi may not know that this official also learned boxing and kicking from the nursing home for a few days at home, and today I want to try to see how much kung fu I still have back then." ”
It seems that this Liu Zhenxiao doesn't believe in the kung fu of his soldiers, or thinks that he is playing some tricks, but Shi Bin is not angry. Immediately, he asked Xu Feng to bring a stone with the same texture but much smaller, and asked Liu Zhenxiao to use the 'treasure knife' in his hand to try his own kung fu.
Liu Zhenxiao, who was full of confidence, walked to the big stone with the treasure knife in his hand and did not immediately swing the knife and slash, but pretended to take a deep breath, came to a single-knife starting style, and then imitated the soldier and slashed with a knife. As a result, the spark flashed, but the stone did not break, but shook this Lord Liu back three steps, and his hand was almost injured.
Everyone wants to save face, and of course Shi Bin didn't want to embarrass Liu Zhenxiao too much, so he immediately ran over to hold him up and apologize.
Liu Zhenxiao didn't plan to investigate it further when he saw this, but since he had lost face and had to get it back, he spoke again: "Lord Shi's soldiers are really strong, and they can sharpen iron like clay with such an ordinary knife, no wonder they can make the Yuan people fear like tigers, and Liu admires them." ”
Just as he wanted to be polite, Liu Zhenxiao spoke again: "But this neat queue and strong force are probably not enough, the number of bandits in Dingzhou is at least tens of thousands, just with these 600 people under the adult, is it a little less?" ”
A little less people? Could it be that he, Liu Zhenxiao, felt that he hadn't earned enough and wanted to send money? Shi Bin thought evilly.
"Don't get me wrong, Lord Shi, there must be no money to add, after all, Lord Cheng is just a prefect, there won't be a lot of oil and water, the official is just afraid of you..."
Originally, he was afraid that the soldiers under him were not strong enough, and he did not destroy the peasant rebel army, so that the silver in his hand would be wasted, and all three parties would suffer.
"It's very simple, please come here with me to enjoy the scenery, and you will understand why I have so much confidence in my troops." Shi Bin also smiled slyly at Liu Zhenxiao and said.
This method is naturally the standing posture that Shi Bin and Li Chao, the two bad species, have long discussed
In less than a cup of tea, Liu Zhenxiao felt that his calves were a little numb, and he began to move slightly left and right, but there was no chair on this stage, and Shi Bin, the owner, turned a blind eye, and Liu Zhenxiao stiffened his silence in order to fight for breath.
After a quarter of an hour of pain, he had already begun to step on the floor to relieve the discomfort in his calves, but Shi Bin and the soldiers in the audience still did not move at all like Jin Song. Even Shi Bin occasionally reprimanded some soldiers in the audience who did not stand well, saying that he would make up for the five army sticks when he came back from the expedition.
After another quarter of an hour of pain, Liu Zhenxiao, a Wenchen who has been dealing with official documents all year round, was already on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't stand this torment anymore, so he had to cringe and say: "This Shi Tongju, my leg is a little uncomfortable, I don't know..." I don't know..."
As if suddenly remembering that there was another Liu Zhenxiao next to him, Shi Bin said very apologetically: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Shi Moujie Wufu forgot that Lord Liu is a noble body, where can he suffer from this? Xu Feng, why are you still stunned, why don't you go and move a chair for Lord Liu? Why are you so stupid that you don't even know how to remind me? ”
Now Liu Zhenxiao just wants to sit down and rest, so he doesn't care what Shi Bin sings, no matter what he says, Liu Zhenxiao is grateful for his 'concern'.
Finally sat down, like a man who fell into the water and grabbed a life-saving straw, Liu Zhenxiao was so happy.
Gradually, at noon, the sunlight was strong, Shi Bin had no intention of ending, he and the group of soldiers in the audience had been standing for at least an hour, at this time Liu Zhenxiao was not only sweating profusely, but even his buttocks were numb, and he began to twist incessantly, but it was difficult to stand up, and he was very painful.
If one person's ability to sit is not as good as another's ability to stand, it will be a big joke if others know about it.
Looking at Liu Zhenxiao's bitter gourd face with his spare eyes, Shi Bin knew that the goal had been completely achieved, and he, Liu Zhenxiao, would definitely never dare to disobey his own views again, and completely became a puppet, Shi Bin said with a smile: "Lord Liu, you see it's noon, let's not go back to the city, how about having a casual meal in this barracks?" ”
Liu Zhenxiao is about to fall apart, where do you dare to suffer the bumps of the carriage again? Naturally, I could only accept Shi Bin's 'care'.
