Chapter Forty-Eight: A Famous General in a Deranged Camp
Yuwenwen heard that there was a disturbance among the prisoners of the Chen army, so he went to a certain place in the barracks under the leadership of Li Shimo, only to see that there was a sea of people surrounded by people, and seemed to be watching something lively in the middle, thanks to Li Shimo's struggle to separate the crowd and make a passage, Yuwenwen was able to squeeze into the crowd.
He fixed his eyes and saw that it was a man standing in the open space, lying crookedly beside him, a few New Army soldiers with blue noses and swollen faces, the man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, the figure was burly, with a little beard on his face, his eyes were bright, and he saw that there was no water around him, and the man shouted: "Who else! ”
"What's going on!" Yuwen Wen was very unhappy when he saw that his own people were deflated, and he was even more angry when he saw that the other party was so arrogant.
Chen Wudi, the military lord who was watching on the side, came forward to explain the reason for the matter: this man was a prisoner of the Chen army, and he had been working as a coolie for more than ten days with others, and now he was no longer working, he shouted that he was not convinced, and knocked over more than a dozen soldiers who came to maintain order one after another.
"Not convinced? Ben will specialize in all kinds of dissatisfaction! Yuwen Wen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he was about to let people rush up and step on the man, but suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head and asked, "Is there something strange here?" ”
No matter how much a person can fight, it is impossible to beat so many people with his bare hands, there is no way to take him, if he is ruthless, as long as he brings in the archers and puts a round of arrows over, he can wash the floor and call it a day, Fifth Brother Chen seems to have stayed here for a while and has not taken any other countermeasures except for onlookers.
"Commander of the army, this person seems to have a plan." Fifth Brother Chen didn't dare to sell Guan Zi, and after a moment of silence, he explained what he observed: the man beat more than a dozen soldiers down one after another with his bare hands, but he didn't kill them, and the soldiers had blue noses and swollen faces, but they were all skin injuries, and they didn't see their arms, legs, and feet broken or their children and grandchildren kicked.
If you want to run for your life, but you don't see that person struggling to break through, but keep shouting in place who else, this kind of behavior is usually considered to be looking for death, but now it's more like showing strength.
Yuwen Wen observed for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded to express his agreement with Fifth Brother Chen's opinion. Seeing that no one around him dared to step forward to 'fight', he took a step forward, pointed at the man and shouted: "You." What's going on? How dare you make noise after defeating the battle! ”
The man saw Yu Wenwen speak, looked at the situation again, and knew that it was a big official, so he shouted loudly: "I am not convinced." Isn't it just a pustule that can be beaten by ambush! ”
"So arrogant, do you dare to go it alone!"
"Why don't you dare!"
"Very good, Li Shimo, you lead the guards to tithe!"
"Fight less with more, your words don't count!"
"If you're not wrong, it's heads-up, you single-handedly fight ten of them!" Yu Wenwen sneered, "Do it!" ”
Li Shimo and the others saw that the other party had overturned more than a dozen of their comrades one after another with their own strength, and they had already seen their blood boiling, and when they heard the words of the unified army, they immediately roared and rushed over, thinking that they had been practicing in the army for several months, and they had to beat the other party no matter how much they had to beat each other, but the result was unexpected.
The man looked like a reckless man, but he was agile. He was surrounded by ten people, but he moved and jumped with ease, and the tactics he adopted were also very special: regardless of other people's fists and feet, he stared at one and beat him to the ground, and then dealt with the second and third, and in this way, he knocked down Li Shimo and others one by one, and when Li Shimo was knocked to the ground, a total of ten guards were wiped out.
"Where did this guy come from?" Yu Wenwen was a little strange when he saw this, and wondered how the other party was so able to fight so much that he captured him.
Fifth Brother Chen explained on the side that when he ambushed Chen Shuling that day, his cavalry pursued and routed the soldiers, and the man in front of him fled with the others, but his figure was conspicuous, and Yuwen Fifteen saw that he chased after him, and after a while, he came to the back of his head and finished the matter.
"So, what's the use of fighting, when the army is defeated like a mountain, it will be over if you can fight again."
Yuwen Wen saw that the other party was quite capable of fighting, so he became interested and asked the name, but he never thought that the man's temper came up and was silent, he saw this and waved his hand to Yang Ji beside him, Yang Ji smiled slightly, handed the long knife to the others, and then stepped forward.
"Wait for me"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud shout: "Team Master Yang is slow, let Shi come to meet him first!" ”
Shi Wansui separated the crowd and approached Yu Wenwen. Just now, he also heard that some of the prisoners of the Chen army were making trouble, and after learning that the other party had knocked over a dozen soldiers with his bare hands, he was 'heartbroken' and wanted to come over to warm up.
Yuwen Wen coughed dryly, explained a few words in his ear, and then beckoned Yang Ji to 'give way': "Let Shi Mansion be the master." ”
Afraid that the other party would not know whether he was alive or dead, he would take it lightly, Yu Wenwen also deliberately shouted that the one who came on the field was the second fierce general in the infantry battle of this army, if you beg for mercy now, it is still too late. Hearing this, the man was even more eager to try.
Shi Wansui is not nonsense, quickly rushed forward to attack with all his might, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his foundation has been firm, although he mainly focused on cavalry warfare later, but his hands and feet are not bad, not only his strength is enough, his mind is also bright, not only a reckless man with brute force, he has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and if he talks about hand-to-hand combat, he will not lose the sharp soldiers in the army, of course, Yang Ji, this inexplicable strongman, is counted separately.
The man was not afraid, and went straight to Shi Wansui's fists and feet, at the beginning of the attack, the result of the fight for more than ten rounds, is only the power of parry, but no counterattack, is the so-called one force down ten will, Shi Wansui has figured out the opponent's routine, so he relied on his own strength, directly hit hard, and fought for more than 20 rounds, after several fist collisions in a row, the man was already out of breath and chaotic.
The onlookers couldn't help but cheer when they saw Shi Wansui beat the man to a blue nose and swollen face: "Lord Shi Lou will work hard to knock him down!" ”
Even the soldiers who were defeated before were flushed and waved their fists desperately howling to cheer for Shi Wansui, just now they beat more and less to that man one by one, but it can be said that they lost face, and now the second person in the army who can fight in infantry is so majestic, so he naturally hopes that he will vent his anger for himself.
Shi Wansui finally made a move without any suspense and pressed the man's uniform to the ground, Yuwen Wen walked in front of him amid the cheers around him, looked down at him and asked, "Are you convinced?" ”
"I'm serving," the man said reluctantly, his face blue and purple, and his appearance was very miserable.
Yu Wenwen signaled Shi Wansui to let go and then let the left and right help the man up, he looked at the other party for a while and then asked: "The strong man is quite capable of fighting, if he comes up against Shi Louzhu, I am afraid that he can still hold out for dozens of rounds?" ”
It's about 'hold out a few dozen more rounds' rather than 'maybe win'. Yuwen Wen didn't think that the opponent's foot combat could beat the famous fierce general Shi Wansui in history. As for Yang Ji, who doesn't use a knife, can still easily defeat Shi Wansui, that's another martial arts problem.
"In the next place, this is the opponent of the master of history", the man has lost his previous arrogance.
Yu Wenwen asked him why he was making trouble. Although his new army guards the prisoners strictly, they do not deliberately abuse them, so they must have enough food, then they must take care of the shelter they should have, and there will be no rain, in short, as long as the prisoners are honest and obedient and do all kinds of chores, then the new army soldiers will not embarrass them.
The man struggled for a while and still said the reason: he wanted to join the army, but he didn't have a chance.
Traditionally, after the two armies fought, the soldiers captured by the victorious side would be absorbed into their own army if they were available, but Yuwenwen's new army was very different: they did not absorb prisoners to replenish their troops.
The main combat power of the new army is pikemen, discipline comes first, skill second, and these two problems alone are enough to weaken Yuwen Wen's idea of absorbing prisoners. Then the next cavalry is needed, but the cavalry of the Chen army is so small that there are no captured alive.
As for other troops, such as sword soldiers and archers, Yu Wenwen needs them, and in the Battle of Lianghekou, he absorbed some prisoners of the Southern Army, feeling that the run-in was still not enough, and now he is in a hurry to absorb the prisoners of the Chen Army without careful selection, I am afraid that it will be 'indigestion'.
It is precisely because of this that these Chen army captives are really just captives doing some hard work on weekdays, so that the man is depressed, because he is not from Chen Guo.
"In the next for the Wuzhou people, at the beginning of the two armies between the north and the south of the war affected the people, and in the next was also accidentally captured by the Chen army to fill the army, and later with the Chen army retreated south, it was no longer able to return to Jiangbei."
Wuzhou is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Northern Zhou Dynasty named Guangling Wuzhou as the seat of the Wuzhou Governor's Office, renamed Yangzhou after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty in history, and finally still named Yangzhou until later generations.
The man continued: "In the lower clan, the relatives are in the Zhou State, so they have no intention of serving the Chen State, this time the Chen army attacked Jiangling, and the army crossed the river to the north with the army, but it was arranged to be stationed in Jiangjin Garrison, and that day, with the reinforcement of the Jiangling army by Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, the Chen army was attacked and captured halfway. ”
It turned out that he was 'in Chen Ying's heart in Zhou', always thinking about returning to Zhou, so he was not active in the army, and he had always been an unknown soldier. I thought about slipping away, but I never had a chance, and now as a prisoner of the Chen army, I thought that this army that could also be regarded as the Zhou army would absorb the supplementary soldiers who could fight, but I waited for more than ten days and saw no movement.
The captives were all driven to do chores as coolies. For example, chopping wood, fetching water, transporting food, laundry, cooking, repairing tents, and many other things, although he did not have the expected various abuses and ate enough, when he realized that the other party did not seem to intend to absorb the prisoners, he could not sit still.
He has the confidence to stand out in the army with his own ability, but now he doesn't even have a chance, then there is no hope, he thought of escaping, but the guards are very strict, there is no chance, and this place is quite far away from his hometown, even if he escapes, even if he has the ability to do it again, he is afraid that it will be a blessing and a curse to go on the road alone.
"So the strong man came to recommend himself?" Yu Wenwen listened to the other party's statement and was a little interested, "Our army is regarded as a rebellion by the imperial court, isn't it a pearl secret investment if you throw it over?" ”
"The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should win fame for the country to get rid of thieves, as for who is a thief, it is no longer possible to say anything in this white body."
is very simple, did not say high-sounding words, but bluntly said that he wanted to serve the country with his ability to win fame, as for who is orthodox and who is rebellious, then it is up to each of them to settle their destiny.
The idea of making meritorious contributions is much stronger than the idea of being a soldier that is to eat and be full, although the utilitarian heart is stronger, but Yu Wenwen agrees: A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.
However, Yu Wenwen still noticed that the other party had not finished speaking: "Not only that, let's talk about the point." ”
"I saw that your army was strict in governing the army, and I heard that the soldiers were treated well, and the rewards and punishments were fair, so I thought about it."
That's right, if you simply want to get ahead, you can do it in the Chen army, Chen Guo is weak, but as long as the name breaks out, when the northern army crosses south in the future, he can surrender before the battle, and he can continue to mix in a good position in the new dynasty.
Yu Wenwen, the department manager of Anzhou Group Co., Ltd., was very satisfied with this man who 'came to submit his resume and self-recommended': "You have good skills, since you have the heart, how about joining our army?" ”
"Dare to disobey."
"I don't know the name of the strong man?"
"In the coming down to protect the child, the word Chongshan, after the ancestral home of Nanyang, moved to Guangling, that is, Wuzhou."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and their focus was that the other party actually had a table word, which showed that the other party's family background was good, at least he could afford to read, and there were elders and teachers who took the table words for him.
What surprised Yuwenwen and Yang Ji was the previous one, his name.
Come to Hu'er, the first year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty in Wuzhou, the first year of the Sui Dynasty, participated in the battle of Pingchen and made a lot of contributions, and the management of the general under the rule of the assassin was well organized, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo participated in the second time, and he was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty who was a civil and military all-rounder.
In the second year of Yining, Yu Wenhua and Yu Jiangdu (Yangzhou) launched a mutiny to kill Emperor Yang of Sui, and Laihu'er and several sons were killed together.
In front of him, he should have joined the Zhou army camp at the boundary of the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, but he joined the Chen army by mistake, and then was captured by the Anzhou army of the Zhou 'rebel' at the border of Liang in a daze, and wanted to join the army but had no way to do it, so he had to direct and act himself, hoping to attract the attention of the main general in the army.
The wind of Yu Wenwen, a butterfly that has traveled through time and space, has affected Laihu'er, who is still an ordinary person today, and a future famous general enlisted in the army to sweep away the depression of his 'loss' beauty: a daughter is easy to get, and it will be hard to find!
