Tian V Cai? Remember, inside the military tent, Cui Wenqing and Ning Zhen, who had just heard the words, were still surprised.

Or Cui Wenqing came back to his senses first, quickly stood up and asked with a calm face: "What happened?" Hurry up. ”

Bai Yifei nodded and said: "Today, a new sergeant in the second battalion suddenly disappeared, and the last general immediately led the personnel to inspect the camp where the missing soldier lived, and found that all the belongings of this person had been taken away, according to the preliminary inference, this person should have been a deserter." ”

Deserter!

Hearing this sensitive and shameful word, Cui Wenqing's face suddenly turned ugly.

The so-called sensitivity is due to the fact that there were desertions in the midst of training shortly after all the officers and men of the new army joined the camp and joined the army, which was a big blow to the morale of the new army.

What's more, it has brought about a worse effect, and if someone follows suit, it will be very troublesome.

As for shame, those who have fought in the army know that desertion is the most embarrassing word.

In wartime, leading the army will be able to execute deserters without asking for instructions.

At present, although the new army is still in training, if there are deserters, the punishment will be increased.

Don't think about it, Cui Wenqing quickly decided: "Lao Bai, the matter of desertion can be big or small, don't wait for it to be taken lightly, pass on my general order, immediately select elite knights from the old army, search for this deserter along the way, be sure to capture it, by the way, what is this person's name and where does he live?" ”

Bai Yifei had obviously investigated very clearly, and hurriedly replied: "This deserter's name is Wei Xiaoyong, a resident of Jiangnan Province who has been resettled in other places, and his family lives in Jirishan Village, thirty miles west of Hequ County. ”

Cui Wenqing thought for a while, and said: "Since it is a people resettled in other places, it must be unfamiliar with life in Xuzhou, maybe you have fled home, and the land of thirty miles is not too far, Lao Bai, how about you personally lead the team to go on a trip?" ”

This is not a matter of Bai Yi's responsibility, and he will not shirk, nodding and saying: "Okay, the last general will take people to arrest Wei Xiaoyong and return to the camp." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded, seeming a little uneasy, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "Remember, before the matter is clarified, you must not kill indiscriminately, so as not to attract the fluctuation of the army's morale, and investigate and deal with it after bringing Wei Xiaoyong back." ”

"No!" Bai Yifei hugged his fists and turned around.

Cui Wenqing sent it to the tent, looked at Bai Yifei's back as he gradually drifted away, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said in his heart: "Could it be that I have trained too hard during this time, so there are deserters?" If so, I am to blame for this! ”

Sure enough, by the next day, gossip began to creep around the army.

Cui Wenqing noticed that during the leisure time of training, there were always officers and men of the New Army who quietly gathered together to discuss with each other.

Of course, this situation also existed in the past training, but unlike the past when the people gathered and laughed and joked with each other, today's gathering of the officers and men of the new army is more dignified and mysterious.

And when he saw Cui Wenqing approaching, those discussions always stopped abruptly just right, no need to ask, what he said was also something Cui Wenqing couldn't hear.

In this regard, Cui Wenqing was very worried, and it seemed that as he expected, the impact of the desertion incident on the new army was very great.

If a person becomes a deserter in weekday training, then when he encounters an existential crisis on the battlefield, he will become a deserter without asking.

What's even more terrifying is that the sergeants have a very large herd benefit when they are fighting on the battlefield.

In many cases, you rush at me, and I run away if you escape.

The appearance of deserters has an effect on the soldiers on the other side of him.

Therefore, Cui Wenqing decided that he had to reverse this unfavorable situation, and it seemed that this deserter named Wei Xiaoyong must be severely punished.

Just as Cui Wenqing was secretly thinking about it, a military official came quickly and approached his side, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words: "Lord Cui, the deserter Wei Xiaoyong has been caught and is being escorted to the big tent of the Chinese army." ”

In just a few words, Cui Wenqing's sword eyebrows suddenly raised, and he instantly showed a little joy.

Without thinking too much, he hurriedly summoned a few leading lieutenants to make a little arrangement, let them train in a queue on their own, and then hurried away with the military officials.

When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Cui Wenqing just opened the curtain and saw Bai Yifei sitting behind the case of the chief general with a cold face.

At the foot of the steps, there were several old cavalrymen with helmets and armor and a strong bearing.

Several of them were working together to watch a tall soldier, his face full of solemnity.

Seeing Cui Wenqing coming, Bai Yifei hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Cui, the deserter Wei Xiaoyong has been caught by the last general. ”

Cui Wenqing nodded, and then went around to look at the bottom of the stairs.

It can be seen that this so-called soldier was definitely not more than twenty years old, his hair was messy like a chicken coop, his face was red, swollen and purple, and he was very embarrassed.

However, even so, there was no worry or fear in his eyes, but there was a light of anger and anger, and it seemed that he was not convinced by the arrest.

Seeing Cui Wenqing silent, Bai Yifei explained in a deep voice: "Lord Cui, at the end of last night, I will be ordered by you to lead more than ten horsemen to search Wei Xiaoyong's hometown in Jiri Mountain. ”

Cui Wenqing nodded, walked a few steps to Wei Xiaoyong, looked at his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "I'm for you, why do you want to be a deserter?" ”

When he saw Cui Wenqing, Wei Xiaoyong's resentful eyes had a look of shame, but he still stiffened his neck and shouted unconvinced: "If you want to be a deserter, be a deserter, where are there so many whys!" ”

"Huh!" As soon as he heard this, Cui Wenqing immediately laughed angrily and teased, "Yes, you still have such a lot of momentum as a deserter, you are really a talent, so do you know how my Daqi military regulations punish deserters?" ”

Wei Xiaoyong obviously didn't understand this, and after being dazed for a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's a big deal to suffer a board." ”

Hearing this, Bai Yifei next to him couldn't help but interject and scolded: "Presumptuous, and you still suffer a meal?" How could it be so easy? According to the military regulations of our Zhenwu Army, deserters on the battlefield are killed on the spot, and on weekdays, deserters are punished with whipping depending on the severity of the situation, and it is possible to be whipped to death directly! ”

As soon as he spoke, the temperature in the big tent dropped by a few degrees in an instant, which also made Wei Xiaoyong's face turn pale in an instant, and the whole person trembled with fright.

Bai Yifei snorted coldly, and said to Cui Wenqing: "Lord Cui, Wei Xiaoyong has no military discipline and ignores the law, and has caused a very bad influence in the new army, and the last general recommends that he be punished heavily." ”

At the end of this sentence, Wei Xiaoyong realized the seriousness of the problem, and he was immediately frightened. /11_11924/
