Chapter 105 • Nutrients
Yan Wuji first went back to call Song Tao, and the two ran all the way to the Xiaoqi camp.
At this time, it was noon, and the soldiers of each battalion were also cooking, and when Yan Wuji and the two arrived, the soldiers in the Xiaoqi camp were eating feverishly.
Because it was a temporary rest, except for the commander of the Chinese army, who raised the big tent, the other battalions had no intention of raising the tent, after all, it was a troublesome matter.
Zhang Erhu, the commander of the Xiaocai Battalion, was getting together with several of his subordinates at this time, talking about something while eating, and sometimes grinning and scolding, it can be seen that his relationship with these people is not bad.
Yan Wuji walked straight to this side, a general who looked like a thousand generals was obviously the first to notice the comer, stopped the work he was trying to pull, quietly reminded Zhang Erhu, and then snorted at Yan Wuji.
Zhang Erhu was originally facing away from Yan Wuji, and like everyone else, he was burying his head in dealing with the food in his hand, and after being reminded by his subordinates, he turned his head and looked up and down with a puzzled gaze.
Although Yan Wuji is not in his own army, he does not have to wear armor and helmets, but he is also wearing a casual uniform in the army, and his rank can be identified only from the cuffs.
The commander of the legion is like a swallow, and the cuffs are embroidered with two black dragon patterns; A first-class general, embroidered with a black dragon pattern on the cuffs; The second rank of the general, the cuffs are embroidered with three black stripes; Sanpin General, two black stripes embroidered on the cuffs; Four-grade battalion handsome embroidery; Five pins and thousands of embroidered three yellow stripes; Liupinduwei embroidered two yellow stripes; The seven-rank team is embroidering a yellow stripe.
However, because the current commanders of the legions of the Yan Kingdom, except for Yan Hu and Jinran, are all second-rank generals, and there is a conflict in this regard, the Yan court clearly stipulates that if he is the commander of the legion, the identity of the commander of the legion shall prevail, and two black dragon patterns will be embroidered until he no longer serves as the commander of the legion, and then it will be counted according to the normal military system.
So when Zhang Erhu looked at the three yellow stripes embroidered on the cuffs on both sides of Yan Wuji, he didn't pay attention to it anymore and continued to turn around and eat lunch.
After all, his military rank is one level higher than Yan Wuji, so no matter what he says, it was Yan Wuji who took the initiative to salute and talk to him, and he didn't have to take the initiative to greet him at all.
"The last general, Yan Wuji, has seen Zhang Yingshuai." Yan Wuji, who came to the front, hugged his fists and saluted, ignoring what the other party had just done, Yan Wuji didn't have any thoughts.
Superiority and inferiority have been a matter of course since ancient times, not to mention in the barracks with strict military ranks.
"Woo..." Zhang Erhu wrapped a large mouthful of food in his mouth, and replied with some embarrassment, his eyes still looking at the food in his hand, chewing the food in his mouth quietly, and he didn't mean to turn around.
But in the next moment, this Zhang Yingshuai suddenly seemed to remember something, hurriedly turned around, stared at Yan Wuji again with wide eyes, and stared at Yan Wuji for a long time.
Then he wanted to speak, but before he could swallow the full mouthful of food, Zhang Erhu smiled at Yan Wuji quite embarrassedly, took a large bowl full of water from his own soldiers, and swallowed it together with the food that had not been chewed in his mouth.
"You are Yan Wuji? That ......" Zhang Erhu, who was a little nervous, suddenly became stammering, Yan Wuji naturally knew what he wanted to say, nodded and admitted it.
"Oh, no wonder!" It was another somewhat confusing sentence, so that the generals under Zhang Erhu didn't know what their commander was talking about at all, but it was not easy to ask out loud, so they could only pretend to understand in a daze, and with those two strange sentences, they lit up a messy head.
Although there are 200,000 people in the Sixth Army Corps, there are only a few dozen battalion commanders, and at this level, it is difficult for the big and small things in the army to escape their ears as long as they are not deliberately kept secret by the high-level.
It's just that Zhang Erhu didn't expect that he could see the rumored Yan Shuai's son here, and what he didn't expect was that he was still so young, although it was said that the army belonged to the country, but in fact, it was who paid them and who gave them food, and they listened to whom.
Otherwise, there would not have been so many generals in history who rebelled, and the entire army under his command followed the matter of surrendering to the enemy.
So to be precise, Yan Hu is the master of the Sixth Legion, and the person in front of him, to put it mildly, is the young owner of Zhang Erhu and others, this is a great man.
Zhang Erhu, who had a calculation in his heart, smiled and showed a simple expression, but he couldn't help but be polite between his words, "Less...... Wait a minute, I took a sip and choked. ”
In order to cover up his slip of the tongue, Zhang Erhu poured himself several mouthfuls of white water before saying, "What is the matter with Mr. Yan Qian?" ”
Since the other party asked directly, Yan Wuji was no longer polite, and directly took out the general order given to him by Hao Zifeng from his sleeve and said: "Zhang Erhu listens to the order!" ”
Zhang Erhu was shocked in his heart, feeling that he suddenly came to such a big battle, and he couldn't digest it a little, but seeing that the general order in Yan Wuji's hand didn't seem to be fake, he slowly knelt down on one knee and replied with his fists clenched: "The last general Zhang Erhu listens to the order!" ”
But I muttered in my heart, we haven't violated military rules recently, and we haven't molested women, bullied the people, at most, we drank too much last time, and urinated into the wine pot of Lao Xu of the sword and shield battalion, it won't be that he tasted wrong later, and ran to the military commander to denounce me, then there is no need to engage in such a big battle.
Regardless of the speculation here, Yan Wuji opened his mouth here to tell the truth: "On the orders of Marshal Hao, the original Xiao Cavalry Battalion under the command of Zhang Erhu is temporarily led by Yan Wuji, and he will rush north to help Xiema Town!" ”
Without waiting for Yan Wuji to finish speaking, Zhang Erhu hurriedly raised his head and hurriedly said, "How is it possible?" This is a direct deprivation of our military power as soon as it comes! ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Yan Wuji to finish speaking, so he stood up and walked outside the camp, "The military commander is in the Chinese army, I want to ask in person." ”
took two steps, and turned back to stare at Yan Wuji, but his eyes were no longer as kind as before, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say a few cruel words, but considering Yan Wuji's identity, he forcibly endured it again and went to the Chinese army alone.
Yan Wuji obviously expected this result, even better than he expected, the most taboo thing for a general of an army is to be robbed of military power, which is not only a disrecognition of his ability, but also a disregard for his dignity as a soldier.
And the thousands of generals in the surrounding Xiao Cavalry Camp also looked at Yan Wuji with unkind faces, but for this, Yan Wuji always stood in place calmly, but Song Tao, who came with him, was a little nervous in his heart, but following Yan Wuji's side and being a scout for so many years, the effect was still obvious, otherwise he would have broken out in a cold sweat.
Just when Zhang Erhu had just walked more than ten steps, a strong and powerful figure said in a deep voice: "Don't look for it, I'll come by myself." ”
I saw Hao Zifeng walking over from a distance briskly followed by a group of guards, and when he passed by Zhang Erhu's side, he glared at Zhang Erhu fiercely, but he didn't say anything, and came straight to Yan Wuji.
Zhang Erhu saw his immediate boss coming, and he didn't have the slightest anger before, he followed cautiously all the way, and ran over.
Hao Zifeng said sharply: "There are no military regulations, Zhang Erhu, are you guilty?" ”
Zhang Erhu's eyes darkened, and he came to Hao Zifeng to bow down, and his voice was still loud: "The last general will be guilty!" ”
"What's the crime?"
"Disrespecting the officer, getting up and interrupting the commander before he finished reading the order, this crime is one; Disrespecting the order of the general, questioning the authenticity of the order, this crime is two. ”
Hao Zifeng nodded, and said solemnly: "Since you have been convicted, then from now on, you will be demoted to the deputy commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, can you be convinced?" ”
Zhang Erhu sighed slightly and replied: "The last general is convinced!" ”
"In this case, you will come and see your superiors." Hao Zifeng let Yan Wuji behind him out, stood aside, but his eyes were staring at Yan Wuji, and asked him to step forward with an encouraging look.
Yan Wuji took a deep breath, this was something he didn't expect, he was just thinking of leading a cavalry to quickly go north to reinforce Xiema Town, but unknowingly he was promoted again, and he became the same level as Qiu Yingshuai.
Zhang Erhu roared: "Zhang Erhu, the deputy commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion of the Last General Blade Army, has seen the Yan Battalion Shuai!" ”
With Zhang Erhu's roar, several thousands of people around him also knelt down to pay respects, and Yan Wuji's position as the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Camp was finally implemented for the time being.
"It's all gone, the cavalry camp is about to rush north, you all go and get ready." After speaking, Hao Zifeng walked in the direction of the Chinese army with his hands behind his back, and when he passed by Zhang Erhu's side, he said softly: "Erhu, you come with me!" ”
Zhang Erhu looked back at Hao Zifeng, who had already walked by his side, and then looked at Yan Wuji in front of him, and saw that the other party was also at a loss, so he stood up and shook the dust on his knees, and walked all the way behind Hao Zifeng.
"Not convinced, right?" After walking for a while, Hao Zifeng asked with a smile.
Zhang Erhu didn't expect to be said, he wanted to say that he was not convinced, he was afraid that Hao Zifeng would blame, he wanted to persuade him, and he didn't want to ignore his conscience, so he could only say "um" angrily.
However, Hao Zifeng didn't mean to blame, and stopped when he walked to a place where there were few people, and the soldiers behind him automatically dodged away, blocking the soldiers who wanted to pass by for the two.
"I know you're not convinced, but you have to understand the severity, Lao Shuai can't last a few years, so the cultivation progress of Wuji in the past two years has been getting faster and faster."
Hao Zifeng walked to a tree and sat down slowly, Zhang Erhu hunched his waist on the side, but was also called by Hao Zifeng to sit down, "But Wuji is still too young, just like the situation just now, he can't even control you, how can he talk about commanding the 200,000 people of the Northwest Army." ”
Zhang Erhu nodded appreciatively at Hao Zifeng's words, but he didn't understand why he wanted to say this to himself.
Facing Zhang Erhu's doubts, Hao Zifeng patted him on the shoulder, "So we have to help him and help him at all the costs we can bear."
This is the fourth time he has come to me to petition today, and he has led his troops to gallop north to help, so I gave him the cavalry camp. ”
Zhang Erhu frowned, as a veteran who had fought against Hu Meng for many years, he knew very well what the outcome would be if the Blade Army fought against Hu Meng without the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
If you want to fight, you can't run, you can only defend passively, and if there is any accident, it may be the end of the annihilation of the whole army.
"Presumably, the military commander knows better than me what is at stake, but why does the military commander still act like this?" Zhang Erhu is a little anxious, this kind of thing is not a joke.
"Because if he wants to grow, like this tree, if it grows tall and grows into a towering tree, then it must have soil to provide it with nutrients."
Zhang Erhu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "So, we are the soil that provides nutrients?" ”
Hao Zifeng nodded, "These 30,000 blade troops are still within the bearable range, if necessary, including me!" ”
"......Huh" exhaled fiercely, Zhang Erhu stood up and saluted Hao Zifeng: "Don't worry, the military commander, we will definitely let him fully absorb the nutrients we provide." ”
After saying that, turn around and go!
Hao Zifeng smiled, for a while, this Zhang Erhu must not be able to digest it, but he has always reassured Hao Zifeng, but he hopes that Yan Wuji can grow up quickly and leave a root for the Blade Army.
