"How can our captain just know how to hide? Can't you fight those people? ”

"Yes, I ran all the way, I'm embarrassed to run, it's too cowardly."

"We are all soldiers, we should go up and do it, but we run like the third grandson."

"If you want me to say, our captain's temper is too girly, a little cowardly, not tough."

"What do you mean by being a little cowardly, in my opinion, our captain is a coward, a coward."

In the past two months, rumors have spread among the soldiers of the 100-person team, and the soldiers have been a little depressed and discouraged during this time, feeling that they have no face, and they want to fight hard, and they are unwilling to escape like this anymore.

It's not just that the soldiers of the 100-person team feel that Ling Xia is cowardly, but even the three mysterious forces looking for Ling Xia also think that Ling Xia is too boring, so they know that they have the ability to disappear, everyone has the ability to come out and compare, what is it to play missing all day long?

"Captain, the brothers are hiding a little impatient during this time, and they are talking about some gossip in private, don't be angry after you hear it." Lao Cui saw that some of the soldiers were impetuous, and he was worried that Ling Xia would be angry when he heard it, so he comforted him a few words.

"It's okay, I don't care about that." Regarding the fact that others called him a coward, Ling Xia didn't care at all. I thought that the rumors would stop at the wise, but I didn't expect that seeing that I didn't respond to the rumors below, the soldiers below became even more presumptuous, and their words became more and more ugly.

Seeing that the soldier's emotions were becoming more and more depressed, and the army's heart had gradually become impetuous, Ling Xia thought about it seriously, on this day, he gathered all his subordinates, looking at the disdain and mania in the soldiers' eyes, Ling Xia issued an order: "Prepare to rush the card." ”

"Punching cards? Which card? It won't be the gate card of Hucheng Pass, right? ”

"yes, that's great, Lao Tzu can finally show his skills."

"It's finally time to do it hard, buddy can't wait."

Looking at the excited appearance of the soldiers, Ling Xia asked everyone to write a will, and wrote their home addresses in detail, seeing that everyone was at a loss, not knowing what this move meant, Ling Xia explained lightly:

"I have heard a saying before, a good commander never lets his soldiers get into danger, although you were born as bandits before, but I cherish you as my own brothers, because I am reluctant to let you get hurt, I am afraid that you will die on the battlefield, so I rack my brains and try my best to avoid fighting.

But I recently found out that I did something wrong, you don't seem to be afraid of death, you are not afraid of injury, you are eager for war, you don't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, since this is the case, then I will fulfill everyone, this time, we will not run, and have a good fight with the war guards at the city gate.

Lao Cui has already inquired, from here to enter Yuxiajiang need to pass through three provinces, namely Yanghuai Province, Mercury Province, Luogu Province, out of Luogu Province is the territory of Yuxiajiang, these three provinces are in a straight line, is the smoothest road from Yuxiajiang.

Along the official road built by the imperial court, you need to pass through the city gate of the twenty-six government offices, the city gates of the forty-one county offices, since we want to fight a bloody battle, then one pass at a time, as long as you pass through these checkpoints, you can reach the destination.

Although the Ministry of War has arranged for the War Guards to be stationed at the gates of various cities, the Praetorian Guards also have troops looking for us, and there is a group of unidentified mysterious forces secretly peeping, but we are not afraid, because I believe that you are all good men who can be ten with one.

I don't dare to go to the battlefield because I'm cowardly, but you're not afraid, you're eager to fight, and today I'm giving you this opportunity to have a good fight with the guards stationed at the gates of the city.

Don't worry, when you die in battle, I will send your will to your family's address, and of course, soldiers who have no relatives in the family do not need to write it. Okay, I've finished what I need to say, give you a cup of tea time, and prepare for the war after a cup of tea. ”

After saying that, Ling Xia turned around and went somewhere else, while the soldiers stared at each other, their eyes full of dazedness and sluggishness:

"The city gates of the twenty-six government offices and the city gates of the forty-one county offices, shall we rush over?"

"I've seen it before, there are at least a hundred people stationed at each city gate, and the number is about the same as ours."

"Let's change one by one, at most we will rush one bayonet, even if one is ten, then it will only be ten bayonets."

"If it is really Chongka, in addition to the battle guards, will the court's catchers and officials participate in the war?"

"In addition to the Janissaries, there are also Praetorian Guards, can we beat them? What's more, there is also a group of mysterious forces. ”

"Hit? Think about the two centurians who were wiped out before, they just helped us cover up, and they were all killed. ”

"Aren't you willing to fight? yelling at the captain for cowardice all day long, now it's okay, the captain has given us a chance, let's fight, here is the whole special battle guard, you can fight enough. ”

"Yes, on weekdays, it's just a few of you who are making a fuss, and the war is going to start later, you guys take the lead, we watch from behind, hoping that you can destroy those soldiers at the city gate."

"What if you destroy those? This is just a pass, and there are dozens of city gates behind it, do you really think we can kill all the way through? Halfway through, the whole army will be annihilated. ”

"What's the use of one against ten? Don't forget, there are more than 100 of us, even if we really fight 10 against 10, it will only kill 1,000 enemies, but we will have to pay the price of dead and wounded. ”

"Even if they don't all die in battle, then they have to be half killed and wounded, half of the mortality rate, who dares to guarantee that they will survive? If it weren't for the captain's plan, would we have been safe? ”

"Even if you didn't die in battle this time and survived by luck, what about the future? If there is a fuss here, everyone will know our traces later, and it will definitely be the soldiers who will encircle us at that time. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for the captain's cleverness, it is estimated that we wouldn't even go out of Baishi Province, let alone travel through so many territories, and now we can get here alive, it's all the captain's credit."

Originally, those soldiers felt that Ling Xia was very cowardly, and they knew to hide and hide all day long, they felt that they had exercised very well along the way, and wanted to show their skills, but Ling Xia did not allow them to provoke the war guards, so those soldiers complained in their hearts, and felt that Ling Xia was incompetent.

But when Ling Xia really let them fight with those battle guards, those soldiers didn't dare anymore, when it came to life and death, those soldiers who fought in the main battle, one by one, gradually regained their heads.

The thought of having to pass through dozens of city gates, facing waves of battle guards, the soldiers were all empty-hearted, and thinking of the consequences and fate of breaking the card, the soldiers regretted it one after another.

It was only at this moment that everyone noticed Ling Xia's hard work, and after calming down, the soldiers went to their respective captains with a guilty face, sincerely saying that they and the others knew that they were wrong, and asked several captains to apologize to Ling Xia on behalf of everyone.

When Lao Cui and Liu Piaoyi came to Ling Xia, after conveying the apologies of the soldiers, Ling Xia showed a smile, he knew that the crisis faced by the hundred-man team this time had passed, and the impetuous mood of the soldiers had calmed down.

In addition to being relieved, Ling Xia was also a little vigilant, this incident sounded a wake-up call for Ling Xia, in addition to being brave and good at fighting, the emotional and psychological changes of the soldiers should also be paid attention to at all times, and he needed to find someone similar to the "political commissar" to help him manage the spiritual construction of the army.

With this friction, Ling Xia's 100-person team became more united, and no soldiers questioned Ling Xia anymore, seeing that the team had finally calmed down, Ling Xia revoked the previous order to break the card and ordered everyone to sneak in in a low-key manner.

Along the way, Ling Xia and them either disguised themselves as peddlers' pawns, or pretended to be rangers, and sometimes they also pretended to be family members of large families, the most daring one was when Ling Xu took Peng Lie's portrait, pretending to be the patrol team of the Five Cities Terracotta Mansion, and swaggered out of the city gate.

With Ling Xia's endless schemes, the hundred-person team successively crossed Yanghuai Province, Mercury Province, and Luogu Province, just now, Qu Qinshi sat on a sedan chair, Liu Piaoyi and Shangguan Hui pretended to be Yahuan, Ling Xia They pretended to be the writer Ding Huyuan, pretending to be the daughter of the prefect's family, and left Luogu Province and entered Yuxia Xinjiang, where the imperial capital is located.

As soon as Ling Xia entered Yuxiajiang, they heard a piece of news, a few days later, the prince held a competition for Princess Xia Ning'er to recruit relatives, and after learning the news, Ling Xia was stunned.
