Chapter 354: Prepare for a big job

: Fang had been prepared for a long time, but after the water source was cut off, and the officials and soldiers in Chang'an City took well water, panic still inevitably spread in the city. The well water is bitter and salty and difficult to swallow, and drinking this water for a long time can also cause illness. And. Although in the pre-planning of the Shaanxi Zhusi, the existing water source in the city. As long as it is distributed by household, it is enough to apply. But everyone has selfish intentions. Everyone wants to store more drinking water, this fight. And then the matter came out. Gathering crowds to make trouble is relatively small, and there are even people who fight for water.

For these, Xu Wei is not merciful. At the moment of the great enemy, the stability of the city is overwhelming. Whoever makes trouble will be arrested. I won't put you in jail either. Go to the army as a servitude. One has no salary, and the other doesn't care about food. With such a bomb, the public order in Chang'an City immediately improved.

On the fourth day of August, the weather turned cloudy, and the cool breeze swished throughout the morning, and the temperature dropped beyond expectations. Xu Wei has been busy with military affairs. Spend less time with your family and more often, so the day is a meal at home. His official residence in Chang'an City was arranged by Hu Maochang, and Hu Daguan was originally to show respect. plans to vacate his big mansion for Xu Dashuai to live in. Houdu refused, and Hu Maochang was helpless. He carefully selected a slightly spacious house from his many properties to borrow.

"The weather has become cooler in the past two days, and the officials often inspect the city, and they wear one more piece of armor." Zhang Jiujiu was picking out clothes for her husband by the closet. He said.

Xu Wei saw that she had been busy. Look at her somewhat emaciated back. Feeling guilty in his heart, he called: "September." Don't be busy, come and sit down. ”

Zhang Jiujiu answered, but he still picked out two or three pieces of clothes and folded them and packed them into bags, for fear that those rough soldiers would not be careful and would get dirty and lose them. After being busy. and sat opposite her husband. After a mess of ears, he asked with a smile: "What do the officials command?"

Xu Wei's lips moved, and he stopped talking. In this world, if a man really likes a woman. even became a husband and wife, and the hopeful one must still make her well-dressed and carefree. In the eyes of the world. Who is enjoying this life? Aren't they the Lady of the Commandment? But this one in front of you. It is also a three-grade life woman. Since marrying herself, it is just that husband and wife rarely get together, and everything in the family depends on her to operate, not to mention, she has to be displaced and frightened. Now, Xu Wei understands the hardships of the "military family".

And what makes him ashamed is that his wife never complains about anything, every time they meet. said that he was very good, so that he didn't have to worry about his family and led the troops to fight with peace of mind. There was one thing that Xu Wei didn't care about before, but this morning, his sister-in-law made it clear to him. said that you are in your twenties, why don't you want to continue the incense from generation to generation? You often lead soldiers outside, and your younger siblings stay at home alone. If only she had a child with her, she would not be lonely. Xu Wei blurted out at the time, why do you want a child so early? was so angry that Xu Wang's family also saw that the little uncle was handsome, otherwise he really wanted to say a few words to him. You don't want it, and neither do your brothers and sisters?

Xu Wei realized that men and women are different, men have always thought about careers, women think about family, and especially women in this scary era.

"It's good, you married me. but it has afflicted you. "For a long time. Xu Wei sighed.

Seeing her husband like this, Zhang Jiujiu moved a chair and approached. patted his knee lightly and said, "Don't say that, the official used to send people under the fence." Look at people's faces. There's no hope. I don't know which life has cultivated the blessings. I can tie up with officials. Now. When others saw me, they were polite and gave three points. Is that a tribute to me? It's not because of my husband. Although the officials are often outside, they are for the sake of the family and the country, and although I haven't read it in September, I still understand it

In fact, she complained a few words, but the tile didn't speak, and Xu Wei felt better. Partial life said. Make the Purple Gold Tiger even more depressed. I always felt indebted to her. grabbed her hand and put it in the palm of her hand, and the commander of the tens of thousands of troops said in a gentle tone: "Look at the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law, the eldest ones have all made up for the officials, and the five brothers of the Xu family." I'm left with no heirs to talk about it yet. After a pause, he thought about the clipping. said, "When this battle is over, we still have to renew the incense for the Xu family." ”

Although it has been married for several years, after all, we have not been together much, and I am full of joy when I hear this. Zhang Jiujiu's face turned red, lowered his head, nodded lightly, and snorted. What does a woman ask for? Her husband is the commander of all armies, and it is not easy to think of this.

After a while, estimating that the time was not early, Xu Wei stood up and prepared to go out. Zhang Jiujiu seemed to think of something, and then got up and said: "Official, someone sent two carts of things to the family yesterday, saying that it was a little heart. Take a look for my wife. But it's two carts of clear water, you see

"Stay, at this time, it is more expensive to send water than money. Who sent it? Xu Wei asked, picking up the package.

"It's said that it's the people of the Xuanfu Division." Zhang Jiujiu replied.

"Li Xuanfu wants me not to worry about my family. Disturb with peace of mind, yes, accept his affection. Later, you give a car to the family of the commander. The dragon canal was broken, and everyone wanted to drink the bitter and salty well water, and they were sad to think about Xu Wei commanded.

Zhang Jiujiu should be down. Xu Wei chaired and walked out with the package. The wife followed him all the way to the courtyard and greeted her sister-in-law again. When you get to the gate. September stopped and leaned against the door. Outside, Xu Wei's guards had already led the horse, took the luggage, Zijin Tiger stepped on the horse, looked back at the lady deeply, whipped down, and galloped away.

"The head of the city is full of arrows and stones, and the officials can be careful." Looking at her husband's back, Zhang Jiujiu muttered.

The voice fell, and the sister-in-law's voice sounded behind him: "Don't say it in front of you, who will you tell it when you run away?" Ouch, how is it still new

Zhang Jiujiu turned around and said with a smile: "That's because the fourth brother didn't come back, the fourth brother is coming back, sister-in-law can't tell what it's like." Return to the house together.

However, it was said that Xu Wei arrived at the Shuaifu, in fact, it was the Yamen of the Establishment Division, and as soon as Xu Yuan withdrew, the Establishment Division existed in name only, so he simply set up the Yongxing Army Road Slightly Pacification Division here. After entering the marshal's mansion, he dealt with some miscellaneous matters, such as the deployment of ordnance, food and salary, etc. In fact, it's just that the adjutants of the Shuai Division are doing a good job, he just stamps a seal and draws a charge after reviewing.

After noon, he left the Shuaifu and went to the Yamen of the Jingzhao Prefect's Mansion. Of course, although he is the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, it is impossible for him to sit in the court and ask about the case. Check the collection of taxes and persuade the agriculture and mulberry to do these things. At present, everything is focused on the war, and the government affairs of Jingzhao Mansion are all entrusted to the Si Lu, Tuiguan, and Zhu Cao Guan. Xu Wei did it. Or stamping and drawing.

After finishing the two dings and the affairs of the yamen, he went to inspect the city defense. Now in Chang'an City, who doesn't know him? See his caravan of horses passing by. There was a group of people around from afar. He bowed seven or eight steps. You just said that you were a * person, and the five or six-year-old children who were still playing also followed to the side of the road, waving at the purple gold tiger. Xu Wei understood. Now it is full of hundreds of thousands of people. and pointed to him to defend the city and save his life.

When he was about to arrive in Dongcheng, Xu Wei suddenly heard laughter from behind him, and when he looked back, it was one of his personal soldiers, and he didn't know why he was happy. Walking on horseback and laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Wei asked.

The soldier smiled. replied truthfully: "The villain saw that the handsome man is now tall, and he enters and exits the Shuai Si's mansion. He was in charge of both military and civilian affairs, and was worshiped everywhere he went, so he rejoiced in his heart. ”

Xu Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head. If it were peaceful years, this kind of life would have passed. But in the current situation,

After a short time, he went under the east city wall and rushed directly to the head of the city. This Chang'an city defense system is different from other places. In general, the city walls are almost vertical. There are stairs to go up to the city only at the gates. But the walls of Chang'an. There are slopes in the main buildings everywhere, which can be used for running horses, and it is also conducive to the deployment of troops to plug leaks in critical moments. Xu Wei went online, Yang Yan rushed up to catch the reins, threw it to the soldiers next to him, and said loudly: "Dashuai, I am about to do it when I touch the golden dog."

"Oh?" Xu Wei glared at him with wide eyes, and walked towards the city wall.

Yang Yan followed behind and said, "Their robes are almost the same, that formation!" The handsome man will know when he goes to the city. ”

Xu Wei looked at the wall and took a look at the net. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. I also made a tour of the city yesterday afternoon and inspected the armaments in the evening. This morning, I went to the Xuanfu Department to meet with the chiefs and officials, and went home for a meal at noon. With just such a little effort, the outside of the city is almost a robe forest!

When he was in Pingyang, Jin Jun also had hundreds of robes, but compared to the posture in front of him, it was like an ant than an elephant!

In the eastern city where Xu Wei is located, as far as the eye can see, in the sea of golden soldiers, robes and cars are like forests! Xu Wei was not stunned when he was killed by the robe, but when he took a closer look, he was shocked that Jin Jun's robe was different from before. Why does it look so familiar?

"Brother Jiu. Familiar, right? It's exactly the same as the equipment of our army! I'll fuck Zhang Shen". Yang Yan scolded in a low voice beside him.

Xu Wei is also angry in his heart, you *** surrender even if you surrender, we will still fight without you. But your bones are soft. Not only did you send land, soldiers, and food to the Jurchens, but you were even craftsmen. The technology is all send! Fortunately, the Divine Arm Bow is a device strictly controlled by the imperial court, and all prefectures and prefectures are not allowed to make it privately. Otherwise. It is estimated that now the Jin army has set up that big killing weapon and is desperately attacking the city!

"Herald, unsealed, unpacked! , Xiao Xu Weitie's face was blue. Gnashing Teeth ordered.

The herald rushed to the other side of the city wall and shouted at the city: "Great commander. Unsealed. Unboxing! ”

"People everywhere near the wall have been evacuated? , Xiao Xu Wei stared at Jin Jun and asked.

"This matter is the responsibility of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. It was done yesterday, and in the morning I ordered someone to patrol it. Bite. There are still people moving in other houses. All were dispersed by the soldiers. Yang Yan replied.

Xu Wei nodded. Stretched out his hand and patted him and said, "Okay, keep an eye on it." As soon as the enemy uniforms are within range, give me a blast. This time, I must give Sticky Han a dismount as soon as I come." After finishing speaking, he went along the head of the city to the south city. Along the way, I saw that the defenders on the enemy platform, horse face, enemy tower, and arrow tower performed their duties, and no one dared to desert. Xu Wei was very satisfied, and his elongated face gradually unfolded. It took so many years. Hujie has finally become a well-trained and disciplined army, and my hard work has been in vain.

As a result, the net thought so, and heard a shout from the front: "This water is worse than urine!" Bring the water! ”

The guards were startled, and hurriedly looked towards the big marshal, only to see the Zijin Tiger frowning on both sides, and his cheeks bulging, obviously angry. After a few strokes on his thigh with a horsewhip, Xu Wei strode forward.

On an enemy platform protruding outwards in the southern city wall, there are more than a dozen crossbows for overcoming the enemy. There are nearly 100 crossbowmen and wrenders. At this time. Then I saw an officer. Not very old. At most, in his early twenties, he sat on a bundle of arrows, and the broken porcelain pieces on the ground had not yet dried up. In front of him, there was a soldier, look at it, thirteen or fourteen years old. The armor was worn on him. With a mouth bell. At this moment, I was at a loss. His face was full of bitterness. It seems that it should be a catty, a recruit. When the officer saw that he didn't move, he scolded again: "Are you elm head? Didn't hear what Lao Tzu said? Water! Water! Damn, even a pig is smarter than you! ”

Originally, because of what happened to the crossbowmen next to them, they caught a glimpse of someone coming from the southeast, and when they looked at it, the warehouse ship was stunned. Standing solemnly.

The officer didn't see it because he had his back to the east, and when he was scolding, the recruit was so frightened that he cried because he saw Xu Wei coming! The officer was even more angry, and he got up, stretched out his hand and slapped him: "Cowardice!" Is this worth crying for? Xiao Xishan Laozi was slashed twice, and he didn't frown! ”

The recruit was slapped in the face, quickly knelt down, and howled: "Dashuai spare his life!" ”

The officer didn't react for a while, and was about to come a few more times when someone next to him whispered, "Die!" Handsome! ”

The outstretched hand could never be taken back. As if someone had immobilized him, the officer remained motionless, and the expression on his face condensed. After a long time, Fang slowly turned around and turned around. I saw Xu Wei's face that I couldn't see the slightest liking.

"This bitterness is also". With a secret scream in his heart, the officer hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Shen Bao, the deputy head of the fourth command of the sixth capital of Hujie, has seen the big handsome." After that, I felt that my scalp was numb, and the six gods had no master, and I didn't know if I should put down the fist.

The officers and soldiers around him also sweated for him, this guy is finished! Just look at the appearance of the handsome!

Xu Wei didn't speak, his eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers one by one, and finally landed on the broken bowls and water trails on the ground. watched the film. Suddenly, he said, "Bring a bowl of water." He said so. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the deputy head of Shen, who was even more amnesty. It's okay, it's okay, it's a bowl of salty water. At this moment, you have to drink ten bowls!

The soldiers immediately took a small half scoop of water from the bucket that the enemy was equipped with, and handed it to Xu Wei, who held it in his hand

Now in the water. There's still some dust wafting around. Not precipitated.

The leopard raised his head slightly, waiting for the marshal to order him to drink water. Suddenly, he Xu Wei brought the scoop to his mouth, and this time he was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to take it, and shouted: "Dashuai,"

"Presumptuous!" Behind Xu Wei, Du Feihu shouted! The shock made the head go back. Standing like a pole gun, he didn't dare to move.

Xu Wei glanced at him, handed the scoop to his mouth, and grunted. The surrounding officers and soldiers were even more shocked, and their hearts were broken. I'm afraid it's a matter of taking off the head! This handful of birds is also a vice capital. What are you doing bullying others with a raw melon and eggs? Okay now, let the big guy hit it right! If the handsome scold you a few times and beat you a few times, it will be considered luck. Now in this posture, if you don't die, who will die?

After drinking the small half scoop of bitter and salty water, Xu Wei put the scoop back in the bucket, walked to the recruit who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "Get up!" ”

What do you say about him? The recruits, who usually don't even meet the officers of the command and envoy level, have not seen each other a few times, and suddenly the supreme commander appears in front of him, and his legs have long been weak. How can you still stand up? Du Feihu saw it. A few big strides forward, pulled him up with one hand like a chicken, and shouted in a deep voice: "Breath point! ”

Xu Wei took another half step forward. Tidying up the armor on his body slightly, he said loudly: "Where is in the army." Regardless of rank, they are all comrades. Armor on the body, no full courtesy, these rules should have been told to you by your superiors. ”

The recruit trembled like a swing. It took a long time to squeeze out the word "yes".

Xu Wei saw that he was still crying. That cowardice is infuriating. He shouted, "If you cry again." Just get out and be the leader of the gang! ”

When the recruit heard this, he bit his lip. Try to hold the tears in your eyes and not let them fall. Xu Wei frowned, and when Du Feihu saw it, he kicked the recruit's ass lightly and scolded: "Get out."

The recruit gave Xu Wei a fist, went to the edge of the city wall and carried his gun and ran away. Shocked like this, he hasn't forgotten to take away his equipment, barely a waste.

As soon as the recruits left, Xu Wei turned around and faced the head Shen Leopard, and stared at him without speaking. That Shen Bao only felt cold, and he really couldn't hold on, and finally stubbornly said: "Despicable duty, lowly duty is guilty, please punish the marshal." ”

Seeing that Xu Wei was silent, Du Feihu asked for him, "What are your crimes?" I think you're so majestic."

"Guilty of lowly office, guilty! Humble office. Bullying recruits with humble duties has violated military law". The deputy head replied repeatedly.

"Are you more than just a bully? At the moment of the great enemy, no matter how officers and soldiers are preparing for war, you *** sit here and drink water! You say it yourself, what to do?. Du Feihu asked.

That Shen Bao didn't speak, he couldn't say that the little me should die. Would you please cut off my head, sir?

Du Feihu glanced at Xu Wei and said tentatively: "Handsome." Is it okay to punish fifty military sticks? According to the Tiger Jie military law. Officers insult their subordinates for no reason. Punished with ten military sticks. Dereliction of duty, poor preparation for war, and 30 military sticks. This guy is out of luck. Let the marshal meet, so he will be punished with fifty military sticks.

Don't play and think that hitting the board is a light punishment. The military stick in the army. Every stick is a real deal. Generally, he is beaten by 20 military sticks, and the man who is like a bear and tiger can't get up in three or five days. Fifty military sticks, your body is slightly weaker, and it is not negotiable to kill you.

"Convinced?" Xu Wei asked suddenly. This is not nonsense. In the Hujie Military Law, officers and soldiers are punished with canes, and in several cases they are subject to probation. For example, those who are physically ill do not fight, the chief does not fight when he is angry, those who are not convinced in his heart do not fight, and he does not fight when he is in the heat and cold, and so on. If Shen Bao felt that he should not be subjected to these fifty military sticks, he would be unconvinced.

"Serve! The handsome man drank salty water, how could he not drink it! It's time to fight." Shen Bao's heart was wide and he replied loudly.
