Chapter Fifty-Six: Difficult to Walk II

The next morning, Zhang Xuan felt extremely sore and numb, but he gritted his teeth and got up at dawn. Gather all the soldiers, assemble them, and eat. It's the first on the road again.

Yesterday's one-day march had exhausted all the strength of the soldiers, and after just an hour, the march of the whole army slowed down.

Zhang Xuan had to start supervising the speed back and forth, otherwise he would definitely not be able to reach Tang County before dark.

It's not just the 100-person team led by Zhang Xuan, but the 100-person team led by others also has more or less problems.

However, each person has a different approach.

Cao Zongyu is much more experienced than Zhang Xuan, and he pays attention to adjusting his speed and maintaining a uniform speed. Cao Tie's methods were much more rude, carrying a wooden stick, and whoever walked slowly would give him a stick. And the Zhou Dang was more upright than the Cao family, and he hardly wanted to talk to these soldiers. Just take the people with you.

Therefore, the team of the Zhou Party is also the most scattered, and even his son's team is stronger than the Zhou Party.

Zhou Fuming also learned from Cao Tie and walked behind. Roll up a wooden stick, and whoever can't walk will pick it up and hit it.

In the morning, there is still an effect.

But in the afternoon, everyone's pace was even slower.

Zhang Xuan saw it in his eyes and knew that these people were not lazy, but their physical strength was indeed insufficient. Zhang Xuan was wondering if he would let the team rest for a while, but if he rested, it would be more difficult to reach Tang County before dark.

"Ah," a scream came from behind.

This voice Zhang Xuan couldn't be more familiar, it was not another sound, it was the scream before death, he hurriedly looked behind, but found that in the last team, a person fell to the ground, and Zhou Dang was slowly retracting the knife, and the knife was still stained with blood.

He killed someone.

Zhang Xuan's anger surged up for a while, and the feeling of being sour and numb was also suppressed by this anger.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Zhou Dang said disappreliantly: "These lazy worms just don't walk and drag out time." I'll just do it. Isn't there a mortality indicator? ”

Zhang Xuan said: "When I say death indicators, I mean death from injuries and illnesses during training, not killing you. Is there such an article in the so-called military law? ”

Zhang Xuan didn't have any military law at all, not even a framework. After all, overnight, Zhang Xuan couldn't get a strict military law.

Zhou Dang said: "If I kill a pariah, do I want any military law?" ”

Untouchables? Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a coldness penetrate deep into his bone marrow.

Zhang Xuan's eyes changed when he looked at Zhou Dang.

In fact, Zhang Xuan killed the gentry for the rebels, and some felt that the killing was too much, but some had to kill. For example, the one in front of him, he never felt that the people, or the tenant farmers, were people. You don't need a reason to kill them.

Let him be an officer in charge of more than 100 untouchables, he is simply wronged by him.

Zhang Xuan silently blacklisted the Zhou Party in his heart, the so-called like-mindedness, this Zhou Party and Zhang Xuan's values are not compatible at all, and even Confucius's benevolent lover has been read into the dog's belly. But Zhang Xuan couldn't do anything about the Zhou Party.

First, there was indeed no one under Zhang Xuan

Zhou Dang is famous, and he still has a little skill, and he can subdue these people, Zhang Xuan doesn't know if he can pull someone from elsewhere to be competent.

Second, even if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, Zhang Xuan has to pay attention to Cao Zongyu's face.

Zhang Xuan didn't delve into this sentence, and said: "I don't care what others do, but in our army, all beheadings must be sentenced by me." You are not a murderer. His crime should be punished, and his law is unclear, so he will be exempted from the death penalty, punished with 20 rods, and executed in Tang County. ”

Zhou Dang was furious, his hand pressed on the handle of the knife, and his ten fingers pinched it to turn white. It's like you're about to draw a sword.

He may not have killed Zhang Xuan in his heart and left with his son. At this moment, he has been out of Nanyang City for a distance, he is a native of Nanyang, and he is very familiar with the terrain of this area. I don't care about the five hundred rabble. Kill Zhang Xuan and leave immediately, Zhang Xianzhong, but what can Luo Rucai do with him.

Cao Zongyu suddenly stood in front of Zhou Dang and Zhang Xuan and said, "Zhou Dang, don't apologize yet. ”

Cao Zongyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he and the Zhou Party are old acquaintances, he is between the Zhou Party and Zhang Xuan. Obviously chose Zhang Xuan.

Without him, Zhang Xuan and Cao Zongyu have experienced life and death together, and they are fateful friendships, and Zhang Xuan helped him avenge his revenge. And the Zhou Party is just an old acquaintance. The Cao family was defeated, and few old acquaintances did not fall into the ground. Moreover, after the government eradicated the Cao family, it appeased the local government, and did not transfer the benefits of the Cao family to other families, among which there may not be no Zhou family.

Cao Zongyu just didn't want to do much after the revenge had been avenged. His friendship with the Zhou family is not so deep.

As soon as Cao Zongyu made a gesture, Cao Tie naturally knew what to do.

Zhou Dang is not a fool, when he saw this posture, even if he had resentment in his heart, he was forced to suppress it, and said: "The last general is guilty." His hand loosened the hilt of his sword, and he clasped his hands into fists and saluted. just turned his eyes away and didn't look at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little hindsight, and when Zhou Dang wanted to do it, he realized it.

"Fortunately, Cao Zongyu is here." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart.

Zhang Xuan had the impression that the army was forbidden. But he forgot that this was a troubled time, and the court could not move the army, the general could not move the lower, there was no money and he did not move, and even made trouble, mutinied, defected, and fled before the battle.

It's all commonplace.

How can Zhang Xuan make the army that has just been formed able to achieve the four words "order and prohibit"?

"The father and son of the Zhou family can't stay anymore, and they have to find a way to get rid of them." Zhang Xuan secretly regretted in his heart, not everyone was Zhuge Liang after three visits to the thatched house, Zhang Xuan even felt that the arrogance of the Zhou Party was too low when he recruited himself.

"And I must have my own lineage strength, and it is not safe to borrow Cao Zongyu's power alone." Another thought flashed in Zhang Xuan's heart.

"How did the Ming court fall to such a place, it was because of Mao Wenlong's death. Mao Wenlong should be a second-class officer, he was killed without asking for an order, the generals are not in danger, and it is strange to support the army and respect itself, and it is also strange that such an army can win the battle. Therefore, every death of a person in my army must be reported to us, and lynching must not be abused. ”

Zhang Xuan wants to kill the Zhou Party, but definitely not now. Serious matters, casually said a reason, and went down the steps.

He gathered all the soldiers together and said: "The military law is strict, before sunset today, if you don't go to Tang County, Luo Shuai will definitely behead me, before I die, I will definitely behead the captains, and before the captains die, they will definitely kill you." Therefore, from now on, no rest is allowed, and no stay is allowed until Tang County. ”

"Yes." Everyone obeyed awe-inspiringly.

I don't know. Is it the strict military law, so that everyone does not dare to slack off, before the sunset, Zhang Xuan's department finally came to the Mishui River. Zhang Xuan first sent the night not to collect and test the current. Hang the ropes on both sides of the river first.

Zhang Xuan took the lead in taking off his clothes, put them on his head, grabbed the rope, and walked through the river.

This section of the river is not too deep, the deepest part is just to Zhang Xuan's chest, but the river water in early spring is simply cold and biting, Zhang Xuan can't bear it a little, gritted his teeth and stiffened, for a while, it can be regarded as crossing the river.

After crossing the Mishui River, Tang County is also in sight.

However, Tang County has had soldiers, but it is only a county, and it has long been captured, and on this day, the army stopped in Tang County, and assigned some houses in the county to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan once again appeased the soldiers and rested well.

But I got the news. The army stayed in Tang County for a day. But it was news from the rear team that Zuo Liangyu was slow to move and had not yet occupied Nanyang. Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong couldn't figure out what Zuo Liangyu was paying attention to for a while.

However, since Zuo Liangyu is not chasing, he should not be in such a hurry.

This is good news for Zhang Xuan. At least have time to train your men. Zhang Xuan decided to regard these five hundred people as the foundation of his life. Tomorrow, I plan to select some people from among the five hundred people to learn from Principal Jiang and accept a group of disciples.
