Chapter 42: The Whipping Sergeant Confronts the Overseer

Xu Zhen had a headache, the military situation did not wait for anyone, he rested for a night, and the next day he was ready to go to Ganzhou, but after the troops were cleaned up, he found that things were getting more and more troublesome.

There are more than 200 people in its headquarters, and they are obedient, but the rest are controlled by Hou Poyu and Zhang Shenzhi, and it is just a matter of abandoning the cavalry, but it is more than 700 recruits to fill the number, and they are infantry!

Isn't this a deliberate attempt to delay Xu Zhen's yin loss strategy? Although he knew that it was a pit, he had to jump, and he couldn't catch it, when he used conspiracy, suppressed by force, and used his own yang scheme, I have to say that the Hou family's father and son had this yang plot to work!

The newly recruited infantry may obey the instructions of the Shangguan and carry more baggage in order to save their lives, for Xu Zhen, who wants to travel lightly and quickly, a large number of baggage is undoubtedly worse!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the newly promoted captain of Shangfu Guoyi, and Duan Zhan, the captain of Chengxun Cavalry, actually traveled with the army and exercised the responsibility of supervising the army, which was like putting a shackle on Xu Zhen's neck!

Xu Zhen was dressed properly, but he did not get off the horse, and the generals in the army came with their own soldiers, called Zhuangxing, but in fact, they wanted to see Xu Zhen's jokes.

is still young but promoted quickly, no matter what, Xu Zhen has been pushed to the high platform of the public enemy in the army by Hou Junji, and he can't go up and down, and he is anxious.

The generals have a lot of speculations, with Xu Zhen's young and ignorant youth, and his blood and strength will definitely stand up for power, so he will naturally lose the heart of the army of 800 recruits!

At that time, Xu Zhen was already draped, but he did not get on the horse, he marched in front of the formation to point the troops, his face was gloomy, after a review, he actually didn't say a word, he got on the Qinghai skull, waved his big hand, and the left and right soldiers waved the flag, and actually left directly!

Many recruits are still waiting for the new lieutenant to inspire and motivate, and the old people in the army also think that Xu Zhen can say some passionate and heroic words to arouse the blood of the recruits, how do they know that Xu Zhen is so gray and drives the team to leave?!!!

The old men in the army looked at each other, they didn't stand firm on their heels, the marching commander was not in place, and the new lieutenant had already led the team away!

Duan Zan is a veteran of the army, he knows that Xu Zhen made a mistake, if he is replaced by someone else, the supervising army will definitely mention it, saying that he has to thank his colleagues in the army, cheer for the sergeant, and express his gratitude to the main general, but he is happy to see Xu Zhen leak, just look at Hou Poyu and smile secretly, extremely cold!

Xu Zhen doesn't need to peek, he can also imagine the faces of Duan Hou and the others, Caesar is his personal guard, Zhou Cangbao Li Wushuang and Li Mingda, who have changed their military uniforms, and the brothers have vaguely become the core, and they are not mixed with Duan Hou and others, and they have already come out of the Dahua camp in a short time.

When Li Daozong arrived, the school field was already empty, and when he heard that Xu Zhen left without saying a word, he knew that this son was angry with him, but he smiled helplessly, and secretly hoped that his daughter would not suffer from the disaster of the pond fish.

On the main road, the delay of the foot soldiers and the baggage has been effective, the recruits are lazy, and the characters under Duan Hou and the others are more provocative and bewitching, and the military appearance is even more untidy, chaotic and noisy, so Xu Zhen's 200 pro-army is solemn and majestic, and he has the style of an iron-blooded hero.

Before leaving, Xu Zhen asked Li Daozong for a hundred horse lances, and there was no scimitar, so he took a hundred horse swords (Note 1), the blade length was more than three feet, the length of the sword was more than a foot long, the head was a large ring, easy to operate, and the sharp weapon of the battle array was also in the hands of many brothers.

Xu Zhen didn't seem to care about the chaos on the march, and only traveled dozens of miles on the first day, so he took advantage of the night to set up a large camp tent, Hou Polu and Zhang Shenzhi gathered in private to drink on the grounds of appeasing the army's heart, and committed a big taboo in the army, but no one reported it, and Duan Zhan, the supervising army, was even more silent, Xu Zhen turned a deaf ear, and the sergeants saw that the master's brain was inactive, and it became more and more rampant!

When he arrived at Baorong in Shanzhou, the military discipline had long been gone, and the soldiers were not in shape, and the sergeants were more ridiculous, and even harassed the livelihood of the border people, and connived at the carriages and horses to trample on the wolfberry land!

The recruits are often bewitched and instructed, Xu Zhenben pities that he is about to set foot on the battlefield, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so he doesn't want to be held accountable too much, but harassing the people and damaging the great hope is how tolerable such behavior can be tolerated!

Xu Zhen immediately ordered, Zhou Cang led more than a dozen brothers, and captured the recruits who trampled on the fields, a total of 12 people, who were tied up in front of the army to show the public!

After a while, Duan Zan came angrily, pointed at Xu Zhen with a horsewhip and said angrily: "Why did Captain Xu overstep his responsibilities and take the responsibility of a certain prison army!" ”

Many sergeants had long wanted to put Xu Zhen in the air, and when they saw that their fox friends were detained and shown to the public, they swept their face, and immediately instigated and provoked, except for Xu Zhen's headquarters, the rest of the people were actually indignant, and there was a sign of a big fight!

Seeing the fire in the inner courtyard, Xu Zhen should have calmed down, but he tolerated it all the way, he couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't pay attention to Duan Zhan, jumped off the horse silently, walked a few steps, and whipped the whip in his hand on the back of the guilty recruit, Zhou Cang seemed to have been instructed by Xu Zhen early, and when he saw the lord doing it, he hurriedly glanced at the brothers, and waved the horsewhip was a severe whip!

Xu Zhen whipped a whip, and was whipped by the sergeant wailing and crying higher than a voice, the Tang Dynasty was still martial, the military was very long, the government soldiers could be exempted from miscellaneous taxes, and the sons were proud of serving in the army, the so-called meritorious deeds were taken from the horse, and the glorious lintel was not to be talked about, but it was not a problem to solve the food and clothing of the whole family, these recruits had not been on the battlefield, they were naΓ―ve, and they were beaten so violently by Xu Zhen, how to resist!

When the horsewhip cracked, Xu Zhen stopped, threw the horsewhip on the sergeant, kicked it and rolled to the ground, and then scolded fiercely: "Go back to Lao Tzu!" If you dare to offend the people again, you will be cut off a big watermelon according to military law! ”

From beginning to end, Xu Zhen never glanced at Duan Zhan, the latter's face was pale, and he wanted to obstruct it several times, but he was forced back by the fierce eyes of Gao Heshu and other brothers, he was an old man in the army, he could feel the killing intent in the eyes of Gao Heshu and others, he really wanted to make trouble, Xu Zhen's brothers really dared to do it!

Xu Zhen and Zhang Jiunian discussed for a long time, and finally had no countermeasures, Xu Zhen could only be so simple and rude to fight with the other party, since he had already fought, he had no reason to show weakness again, turned around and pressed the knife, and said coldly to Duan Zhan: "Duan Jian Jun, a certain trek came, it is to guard the country, and you are not interested in intrigue, you have to have the ability, when you arrive in Ganzhou, you will fight bravely to kill the enemy, and compare me to me, otherwise you will take these chicks back to find your godfather, if you dare to hinder the march of Captain Bendu, everyone will break up in two, Lao Tzu, these 200 people are not vegetarians! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhen's chest suddenly relaxed, Zhou Cang and the others suppressed it for a few days, and when they saw that the winner was furious, he finally let out a bad breath, and his face was not known how glorious it was, pressing the knife with his right hand, and quietly touching the huge Yuanrong crossbow on his back with his left hand.

Duan Zan didn't expect Xu Zhen to be so straightforward, without any concealment, such a scoundrel remark, what is the difference between him and a street ruffian! It's just that the other party has 200 elites, and his 800 recruits have no actual combat experience, so he really wants to fight, but he is really a little weak-hearted!

Before leaving, he and Hou Poyu had already made a plan, which was bound to slow down Xu Zhen's march, but after the other party tolerated it for a while, he actually tore his face directly, making them suddenly at a loss!

Xu Zhen snorted coldly, many brothers got on the horse one after another, he turned the horse's head, pulled out the long knife in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "You need to reach the foot of the snowy mountain at noon tomorrow, and if you are a hundred steps behind, if the prison army does not deal with it, Captain Bendu will chop up your eggs with his own hands!" ”

Many recruits were still complaining, and they were angry one by one, but Xu Zhen intensified his efforts, and with a simple marching order, he suddenly scared a bunch of recruits stupidly!

These recruits like to inquire about gossip in the army, and they are no strangers to Xu Zhen's deeds, but they see that he is young and vigorous, and they don't believe what is being said.

With such a shock, the recruits really restrained a lot, and although they were dissatisfied and complained all the way, the speed did not slow down, and Duan Zan was so disrespectful to Xu Zhen that he felt faceless, gloomy all day, and didn't know what he was planning in his heart.

Li Wushuang didn't have a good impression of Xu Zhen in the first place, seeing that he was cowardly and forbearant all the way, his arrogance was depressed, and he was even more contemptuous in his heart, until Xu Zhen suddenly broke out, this girl felt that Xu Zhen still had two or three points of manly backbone.

This also made her see the corner of the secret fight in the army, thinking that her own adults have been in the army for decades, there are ups and downs, and she can't help but sigh in her heart, although Xu Zhen is hard, but there is no skill to deal with this time, and you can't solve the problem every time you meet people with life and death.

It's just a matter of facing a prison army like Duan Zhan, if it is a general in the army, Xu Zhen's temper will be a death when he turns around.

Thinking like this, his yearning for the military camp career was half a point weaker, and he had little interest in his heart, and he thought about taking Li Mingda back to Chang'an.

Xu Zhen led his troops out of Shanzhou and entered the border of Ganzhou, but he saw a sacred mountain in the distance, far away in the sky but within reach, magnificent and holy, creating a divine show, stretching the sky, dyed white heads by wind and snow, it was the big snow mountain on the border of Ganzhou!

Xu Zhen retracted the vast yearning in his heart, drove his troops to gallop, and finally arrived at the foot of the snowy mountain, the melting snow on the mountain peaks gathered into a river, even if it was nearly late autumn, the Pingchuan under the mountain was still rich in water and grass, and he could see a herd of wild horses galloping by!

If you follow the established marching route, bypass the foot of the snowy mountain, go north along the weak water tributary Shandan River, and take the Heli Pass, you can reach Jiedan County, and then turn to Zhangye, you can reach Ganzhou!

However, when the brigade arrived at the mouth of the Shandan River, it had to stop, because the ferry was overcrowded, and they were all displaced people who had migrated south!

This also means that the Tuyuhun people have finally crossed the Qilian Mountains and hit the territory of Lianzhou, maybe they have approached Ganzhou!

(Note 1: Chopping horse sword, also known as chopping horse knife, long blade and short handle, similar to Zhou Cang's Pu knife, but Pu knife long handle and short blade, Pu knife first seen in the Song Dynasty, also known as drawing knife, Bo knife, the former Zhou Cang's blade is called the Pu knife, the strange soldier obtained in the tomb is also rare, it is Xu Zhen borrowed the name to use the ear, the reader should not blame.) οΌ‰
