It is still very cold in Hedong in the first month, especially in the past two days, when the sun comes out, the ice and snow have melted a little, taking away a lot of heat, making the temperature even colder, colder than when it snows.

In the next two days, Zhao Ziliang, accompanied by Wang Shengdao, the commander of the county soldiers, and several other people, inspected the drills and garrisons of the county soldiers and county soldiers in several counties under the jurisdiction of Shuozhou.

The number of county soldiers in each county is not much, only two or three hundred at most, and only a few dozen at least, some county lieutenants are seriously paid empty salaries, there were originally more than 200 people, but in fact there are only a few dozen people, and the weapons and equipment are also dilapidated.

The situation of the county soldiers is better than that of the county soldiers below, there are more than 1,000 county soldiers, and the number of soldiers in the establishment is not much different from the actual number of soldiers, Wang Shengdao regarded these county soldiers as his own private soldiers, of course, he had to manage them well, and basically reached the standard in weapons and equipment, but the problems in training and military discipline were big.

At noon on that day, Zhao Ziliang returned to Shuozhou City after inspecting the county soldiers in several counties under Wang, and convened Wang Shengdao and some major generals among the county soldiers to discuss the matter.

"See the generals" after the arrival of the generals, the generals and colonels of the county bowed to Zhao Ziliang together.

"No courtesy, sit down!"

"Thank you, General!"

Zhao Ziliang and the others all sat down and said: "In the past few days, General Ben has checked in the following counties, the situation of the county soldiers is very bad, there were originally two or three hundred people, but in fact there are only a few dozen people, the weapons and armor are either rusty or tattered, even if there is no shortage of soldiers, but they are all crooked melons and cracked dates!" I summoned you here today, just to tell you, in the afternoon, General Ben wants to see the drill of the county soldiers, this matter must have been told to you, General Ben emphasized here again, give General Ben a good practice, no chaos, whoever messes up, this general will find whose fault! Have you memorized them all? ”

Under the leadership of Wang Shengdao, everyone immediately said: "Don't worry, general, there will be no problems!" ”

The afternoon drill of the county soldiers was a major event, Zhao Ziliang had notified Wang Shengdao as early as two days ago, and other officials and many people in Shuozhou also knew about it, so they all came to the county military academy that afternoon to watch the drill of the county soldiers, which was also specially allowed by Zhao Ziliang.

In the face of these thousands of people watching, Wang Shengdao and his generals are indeed under a lot of pressure, if something goes wrong during the exercise, not only will they lose face in front of the people, but also Zhao Ziliang, who is in charge of the review, is afraid that the face of Zhao Ziliang is not good-looking, if Zhao Ziliang is not happy, I am afraid that the life of these people will not be so good, so Wang Shengdao and others have to cheer up the spirit of 120,000 points, before the drill and review, tell every soldier not to make mistakes, otherwise there will be punishment and the like.

Although Zhao Ziliang had given advance notice two days in advance to let Wang Shengdao and the others prepare instead of a surprise attack, when it came to the actual review of the drill, the county soldiers still made frequent mistakes during the drill, causing the surrounding people to boo one by one, shamelessly, and ridiculed.

Seeing the chaos of the county soldiers and the constant ridicule of the people, Zhao Ziliang's face became darker and darker, he turned his head and glared at Wang Shengdao and said coldly: "General Wang, General Ben notified you two days ago and asked you to get ready, and you promised that there would be no problems, but now?" Are you going to slap the general in the face in public? ”

Wang Shengdao was sweating coldly on his forehead, he was now ashamed and ashamed, and he was worried that Zhao Ziliang would suddenly go crazy to deal with him, this ruthless person didn't care, he hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said: "General ・・・・・・, the last general and others have already practiced too many changes beforehand, and there is no problem, but I don't know why it won't work now, the last general asks the general to allow the last general to personally command!" ”

Zhao Ziliang stared at Wang Shengdao and said coldly: "Okay, Ben will give you a chance!" ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, General!" Wang Shengdao said and hurriedly ran to the stage to personally command.

But at this time, more than 1,000 county soldiers have been confused because of the mistakes of some people, and Wang Shengdao, a guy who has no knowledge and no skills, has no command and military talent at all, and only knows how to fight for power, can solve it in a short time?

Wang Shengdao tried his best, and it took half an hour to end the chaos, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help it, and shouted: "That's enough, in the name of the ambassador of the Datong Army, he ordered all the county soldiers in Shuozhou to take the battalion as a unit, and the deputy lieutenant of each battalion will take them back to the battalion to standby, and the county soldier captain Wang Shengdao and the captains of each battalion will immediately go to the county soldiers' mansion to see the general" Zhao Ziliang left angrily after speaking.

The county soldiers who were messing around on the school field stopped when they heard Zhao Ziliang's voice at this time, Wang Shengdao was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and he didn't care, and beckoned the captains of each battalion to chase Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang, who came to the county soldiers' mansion, sat on the main seat, looking at Wang Shengdao and others who walked in one after another and were dejected, their faces were so cold that they were about to frost, and after Wang Shengdao and others saw it, they were frightened and silent, and they didn't dare to pant loudly.

Everyone sat down, but Zhao Ziliang never made a sound, just stared back and forth at everyone with the murderous gaze, although Wang Shengdao kept reminding himself that he was a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, but when Zhao Ziliang was staring at him, he couldn't help but tremble, this feeling was something he had never had, just like the innate fear of lower beings in the face of higher lives has existed since ancient times.

"A bunch of rice buckets, garbage!" Zhao Ziliang suddenly went berserk, scaring Wang Shengdao and the others all over, "How did you guarantee it at noon?" patted their chests one by one and told General Ben that there would definitely be no problems, but how to explain the mess of the county soldiers just now?"

Wang Shengdao felt that he should say something to save a little face, so he stood up and arched his hand and said: "General, there are people watching outside, and the soldiers are nervous in the south during the exercise, and this tension is easy to make mistakes, so the last general ・・・・・・."

Zhao Ziliang immediately interrupted him: "So you think this is excusable, don't you?" If it is on the battlefield, the county soldiers are only afraid that the chaos will be even worse, and the enemy will not laugh at you at that time, but use the weapons in their hands to greet you, killing you crying dad and mother, ass urine! ”

Wang Shengdao was a little angry, he was angry that Zhao Ziliang didn't give him face at all, he thought to himself that he was so bad that he brought Zhao Ziliang together last night, and he was a descendant of the Wang family, even if he didn't look at the monk's face, he had to look at the Buddha's face, right? But he really couldn't get angry, Zhao Ziliang scolded him so much that he thought he was too wrong, and scolded him so much that he didn't have any temper at all.

Zhao Ziliang lost his temper in the lobby of the county soldiers' mansion, and scolded Wang Shengdao and the captains of the battalions to the blood, and the arrogance of these people was suppressed by him at once.

After scolding enough, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Forget it, it's useless to scold again, it's not a matter of easy to make mistakes if you watch it or not, but you practice too little on weekdays, so you have to strengthen your practice when you go back!" ”

As if they had been pardoned, everyone quickly stood up and arched their hands: "No! ”

After the captains of each battalion left, Wang Shengdao couldn't, this place itself was the official office of his county lieutenant, Zhao Ziliang walked down from the main seat at this time, and said: "According to the itinerary, the Japanese general will go hunting tomorrow, you accompany me!" ”

Wang Shengdao hurriedly agreed: "No! ”

On the morning of the second day, the weather was good, the sun came out, Zhao Ziliang had breakfast and took the servants to go out hunting, and the Hu slaves who were sent to convey the order to Gao Xiuyan came back, he reported: "General, General Gao Xiuyan has led the army to reach the north of Shuozhou forty miles, according to the speed of the march, you can arrive at the north gate of Shuozhou at noon today!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "You go to pass the order again, and order Gao Xiuyan to camp ten miles north of Shuozhou City and stand by!" ”

"No!"

When Zhao Ziliang came to the West City Gate with his entourage, Wang Shengdao was already waiting with dozens of soldiers, in addition to several county military captains, they were all Wang Shengdao's cronies, Wang Shengdao brought them this time to let them have a good relationship with Zhao Ziliang, so that they could promote them in the future.

"General, it's so early!" Wang Shengdao hurriedly greeted him.

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "You guys are here early, it's not too early, let's go out of the city first!" ”

"General, please!"

Under the leadership of Wang Shengdao and others, Zhao Ziliang and others came to a mountainous area in the west of Shuozhou, stopped at the foot of the mountain, Wang Shengdao said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, this is it, there are more prey in this area, rabbits, roe deer, jackals, foxes, and sometimes even black blind people and big insects!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said with a smile; "Okay, General Ben likes this kind of place, General Wang, why don't we have a competition, limited to one hour, and then come back here in one hour, to see who hunts the most prey! The losing side wants to lose all the prey to the other side! ”

Wang Shengdao only thought that Zhao Ziliang was young and fun, so he agreed: "Okay, since the general is interested, let's give it a try!" ”

So the two men parted, each looking for his prey.

There are indeed a lot of prey in this area, Wang Shengdao's archery is not bad, after a while, he shot two hares and a roe deer, at this time a deer entered his line of sight, he was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately opened his bow to shoot it, how did he know that the deer was very alert, and he actually grabbed it, and began to run wildly, Wang Shengdao immediately chased after the horse, and left the soldiers far behind, and soon lost contact with the soldiers.

"Finally caught up with you, hehe!" Wang Shengdao smiled and took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring and aimed at the deer, and as soon as his hand was released, the arrow "swished" over.

The arrow struck the deer, but before he could rejoice, an arrow came from nowhere, struck him in the throat, and an arrow pierced through him, and he paused, fell off his horse, and after a few convulsions, completely immovable.

"Ah・・・・・・ general, general," the soldiers who came with him shouted in panic when they saw Wang Shengdao fall off his horse. (To be continued.) )
