Chapter 1: The Traverser (6)
"Knock knock knock......" A dense and muffled drum beat woke up all the soldiers from their sleep, and they looked into the courtyard one by one. The genius is bright, but he doesn't know which of the narrow ghosts is there to play the snare drum. Naturally, the people who were awakened from their dreams would not have anything good to say, and a burst of scolding and complaining suddenly came from the several adobe houses that had been used as barracks. The barracks are important, and this person came here early in the morning to make trouble, which is really bold.
......The drums were still beating continuously, and finally a few bold guys got dressed haphazardly and went out to see what was going on.
In the corner of the courtyard there was a snare drum used in daily exercises, and it was this drum that was being beaten violently at the moment, and everyone looked at it, but saw that there were two people standing in front of this drum, both of whom were thin and small, and one of them was wearing a pair of extremely heavy armor and was beating the drum vigorously.
After a while, the man in armor handed the drumstick to the man without armor, and walked himself in the direction of the barracks.
"The snare drum beats again, and the person who hasn't come out of the house is no longer a soldier of my C-team—" the man said in a very serious tone, standing in front of the soldiers who had walked out the door.
"Mother, it's the captain...... one of the soldiers exclaimed after seeing the face of the comer.
Li * looked coldly at the soldiers in front of him who were running out of the house in a hurry and lined up, and counted the time in his heart. The first to discover Li * was the new Wu commander Li Dezhu's Wu, who was originally a pawn in Wei Xun's army, and was recommended by Wei Xun to be the Wu commander a few days ago; However, the first to get dressed and run out and stand in line was the new chief Shen Chen's direct army, and the second was Lu Xun's personal soldiers.
When Li * silently counted to six hundred and one in his heart, the whole team of soldiers finished marching.
The last to join the team were Zhou Zhengyu and several other Shiwu officers.
Ten minutes later, Li * sneered in his heart, he had overestimated the efficiency of this team as much as possible, but in the end, this result still made him quite angry.
Ten minutes is enough time for any enemy army to set the barracks on fire.
Seeing that the soldiers had finally finished platoning, Li * waved his hand, and Li Hu'er, who had been beating the drum and his arms were numb, put his arm down as if he had been amnestied, threw away the drumstick, and trotted over and stood beside Li *.
Li * glanced at the queue, pointed to Lu Xun's personal army and said to Li Hu'er: "Get in the ranks!" ”
Li Hu'er did not hesitate, and quickly ran over and stood at the end of the pro-soldier team.
When the personnel arrived, Li * cleared his throat and said coldly: "It is the rule in the army to beat the drum and march and Mingjin to collect the troops." For our army, this drum is the beginning, the starting point, the order to get up, the order to march, and the order to charge......"
He gritted his teeth and said: "Today is not counted, starting tomorrow, within the beating of the drums, the whole team must be completed in line!" This is a military order! ”
While walking slowly in front of the queue, he suppressed the anger in his chest and said: "One hundred and eight drums, those who have not been included in the column within one drum will be punished with thirty push-ups, and those who have not been in the column within two drums will be fined sixty; After the three-way drum sounded, those who had not yet entered the ranks were no longer sergeants of Team C, and they rolled up their burdens and got out——"
The sergeants looked at each other, and Zhou Zhengyu hesitated and asked, "Accompany Rong, what do you mean push-ups?" ”
Li * glanced at him, but did not answer his words, glanced at the army, and said slowly: "Listen to my command—all of them—lie down!" ”
The officers and soldiers lay down in confusion, not knowing what the team was going to do.
"What is this for?"
"Hell knows, the captain has a convulsion......
"Are you going to beat a baton?"
"It's not like, there is not even a stick in charge, is it possible that the team officer will fight in person?"
"Then what are we going to do down down?"
“……”
Li * looked coldly at the sergeants lying at his feet, and said in a long voice: "Let you lie down, will you lie down like this bear?" ”
He kicked a soldier in the stomach and scolded: "Lift up, your belly and legs are not allowed to ...... to the ground."
The soldier tried to lift his belly and thighs up in fear, and unconsciously lifted his body up with a force on his arms.
"That's right...... The first push-up is to lie down, except for the palms and toes, the rest of the body must not touch the ground. ”
One by one, the sergeants propped up their bodies.
Li* nodded: "Okay, listen to my command - put your arms straight ......"
"Okay, listen to me - bend your arms until the tip of your nose is about to touch the ground, pay attention to the rest of your body, and don't touch the ground......"
"Okay, straighten your arms again—"
"Bend again—"
"It's push-ups, you know?" Lee* asked, looking down at the soldiers.
"Know-way-it!" The sound of procrastination and laziness sounded.
"Be louder, I can't hear ——!" Li * raised his eyebrows and roared.
"Got it——!" This time it was a little better, Li * frowned, not pressing too much, he knew that the current requirements for these officers and soldiers could not be too strict.
He himself also fell down in armor, and shouted: "I am wearing twenty pounds of armor now, and you have no weight on you, now follow me and start to do ......"
He struggled to keep his arms bent and straight, and counted in his mouth: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve......"
As a political officer, Li * also paid great attention to physical training in his previous life, and generally did a hundred or so push-ups casually without any problem. It's just that now that I have come to this era, my physical condition is not good, not to mention, the food I eat every day is rough, and I can't provide enough calories and vitamins, plus the weight of twenty pounds of armor, so I have been sweating profusely after thirty push-ups.
He gasped lightly and got up from the ground, squinting at the sergeants who were weak and bending their arms.
What kind of training does such an army need to train into a qualified army......
……
The day's morning exercise was finally over, and Li* waved his hand to order the breakfast to be carried in, and watched the soldiers rush up to fight for food without orders, and Li* sighed and shook his head. He squinted and saw that Lu Xun was drenched and about to go back to the house, he rolled his eyes and shouted, "Chief Lu Wu-"
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, and trotted all the way to Li *: "What do you have to tell Rong?" ”
Li * pulled Li Hu'er, who was stunned beside him, and said to Lu Xun: "This is my brother, his name is Li Hu, and he is willing to come to the army with me to experience training. However, you don't need to arrange additional duty shifts for your team, you can just have him in front of your team on weekdays......"
Lu Xun was stunned for a long time, and then he hugged his fists and responded: "Oh-"
After breakfast, Li ordered the soldiers to disband and rest for half an hour, and then returned to his own adobe house, and asked softly in a gentle voice while unloading his armor with the help of Li Hu'er: "Hu'er, are you tired?" ”
Li Hu'er beat the drum for a long time, and did thirty push-ups with the soldiers, and at this moment his arms were sore, so he had to endure and say, "Don't be tired-"
"-" Li * scolded with a smile, "I'm tired of this virtue, will you be tired?" ”
He turned his head and looked at Li Hu'er lightly: "Brother Hu'er, there are only comrades in the army, there is no blood relationship, if you insist on coming to the army with me, you will have to train with these sergeants every day, and your body is afraid that it will not last long." You are my benefactor of Li*, and I can't bear to let you suffer these hardships with me. ”
Li Hu'er followed Li * to the army, it was Li Bin's decision. Li * had long guessed that Li Bin might not be so at ease with himself, and he would always send someone to follow him, whether it was surveillance or help, in short, Li Bin would never turn a blind eye to what he did in the army.
It's just that Li Bin proposed to let Li Hu'er come over, and Li * was still a little surprised, but then he figured it out. Most of the house slaves in the mansion did not have a good relationship with Li *, and sending these people over would make Li * obviously aware of Li Bin's distrust of him, and now that Li Bin was about to rely more on Li *, he must not leave such an impression on this newly cultivated cronie general, so it was natural to send Li Hu'er, who had the best relationship with Li * on weekdays, to come. Li * guessed that Li Bin must have explained something to Li Hu'er privately before he came, such as asking the general to report the situation to him in detail, etc.
However, Li * had already thought of a countermeasure for this, as long as he incorporated the people he brought into the army and strictly demanded the discipline and rules of the army, it would not matter who came. Under the constraints of military discipline, it is impossible to leave the camp without permission, so how can you go back to your home to report the news? In the Zhangwu Army, where military discipline was lax, soldiers might be able to leave the camp and go to the streets at will, but Li * had already made up his mind that such a situation would never be allowed in his own army.
It may not be easy to change this, but Li* has already made the decision to prepare to take the whole team out of the city, as long as he leaves Yanzhou City, I am afraid that it will be difficult for these soldiers to run out without permission, and even if they do, I am afraid that they will have to walk more than ten miles to return to the city. It is almost impossible to convey information without telling Lee* in this way. No matter who Li Bin sends to spy on him, Li * will be able to control his every move in the palm of his hand.
"Where the elder brother speaks, it is a blessing for the younger brother to come out to experience with the elder brother. This is actually not a dispatch of observation, it is the younger brother who voluntarily came to join the army with his elder brother, and he really hopes that in the future, he can make some contributions like his elder brother, get rid of his slave status, and maybe he can also buy some land savings......" Li Hu'er said, his eyes gradually brightened, and his hands trembled a little, obviously a little excited and unable to control himself.
Li * was a little stunned, he was a little unsure whether what Li Hu'er said was false or true.
At this moment, I heard someone outside the door ask softly, "Is Lord Rong there?" ”
Li Hu'er immediately turned around and asked with a little vigilance, "Who?" ”
"Villain Wei Xun, there are some things I want to tell the adult-"
Li * was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Chief Wei Shi, please come in, this team is unloading the armor, but it is very disrespectful ......."
"Well, you might as well ......"
As he spoke, Wei Xun pushed the door and bent over, holding the felt hat in his hand, and closed the door again.
"Brother Wei has something to say, just say it to the team. Since taking office, I was going to chat with the brothers one by one, but I haven't been free, Brother Wei came just in time, let's have a good conversation......" Li * waved his hand and ordered Li Hu'er to stand aside, stretched out his hand and pulled over a Hu bed, beckoned Wei Xun and said: "Brother Wei sit, don't be restrained ......"
With a little uneasiness on his face, Wei Xun sat down on the Hu bed, looked up at Li Hu'er, but didn't say a word.
Li * was stunned: "Brother Wei has something to say to the team?" ”
Wei Xun nodded: "Exactly, I still hope to accompany Rong ......", as he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Hu'er again.
Li laughed: "You don't know him, this is my brother, he just came to me from his hometown, don't have any worries, we are soldiers, we eat and sleep in one place every day, what else can't we save face?" It's the wife who steals the man, although it's embarrassing to say it, only the robes will report the grievances for you, and no one will make fun of you ......"
Wei Xun was relieved, and he said: "I didn't thank Rong for his great kindness that day, and I didn't thank Rong for his great kindness......"
Hearing this, Li * smiled quietly, and replied softly: "That's nothing, your brother Wei has always been popular, and at least more than half of the sergeants in this team are good friends with you." In addition to Brother Shen's Wu Renjiao, your Brother Wei's words are better than any other leader in the team, and it is also expected that you will be the leader. When I first came to Team C, I always have to conform to the spirit of the army......"
Wei Xun smiled awkwardly: "The bad habit left by the villain when he was playing in the place is to make a friend, and as soon as the escort Rong came to the team, he promoted the villain, and the villain was so grateful in his heart." Those of us who have been in the gang are the most particular about righteousness, and I can't be sorry for my surname Wei. The villain knows that in his heart, he has great ambitions, the villain has been mixed in the local area for many years, and he thinks that these eyes are still accurate, and the villain is different from the previous Qiu Rong, this villain understands in his heart......"
Li* smiled, but didn't answer Wei Xun's words.
Wei Xun hesitated and said: "It's just that the escort Rong is not familiar with the character of the team members, and there are some things that the villain should not care about and ask, but if he doesn't say anything to the companion, the villain feels that he can't bear the weight of the escort......"
"Brother Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Li*'s eyes were blazing, staring at this young but sleek and sophisticated Shi Chang asked.
"Some people are extremely dissatisfied with the piano, and secretly discuss to cause some trouble for the piano......"
"Oh?" Li* frowned, "Who is it?" ”
"I'm afraid I don't know that the deputy of Team Zhou has some influence in the team, and many people only look at it. Team Zhou's copy is a good person, and he doesn't have any bad intentions, but some people who are counting on him are dissatisfied with the escort and want to make a move, which is not conducive to the escort ......"
He paused, carefully observed Li *'s face and said, "Originally, the villain thought it was no big deal, but when the meal was just over, Liang Xuan pulled Shen Chen to talk for a while, and the villain didn't know what they said." However, looking at Liang's face, it seems to be very unkind. Shen Chen has always been incompatible with the people in the team, and everyone generally doesn't pay attention to him. This time, Liang even had to lobby him in tandem, and the villain thought that things didn't seem to be very good......"
Li*'s eyes narrowed, and he asked in a long tone, "So what do Brother Wei think they are going to do?" ”
"Liang Xuan is brave and wants to assassinate the adult, as long as the brothers in the team come forward to shoulder the responsibility together, according to the practice in the Zhangwu army, the command office and the battalion will not be investigated, and it is a big deal to send a new team officer...... Wei Xun said in a low voice.
"Want to kill me? I'm afraid it's not easy, right? Li said with a sneer.
"They want to set fire to Rong's house in the middle of the night, and then they just need to report a fire, and everyone will be fine......," Wei Xun said softly, licking his lips.
