I don't know how long it took, Song Yu suddenly stood up from the straw mat. He didn't say a word, didn't make a movement, and walked slowly in the direction of the inner courtyard.

"County Princess! County Princess! "A cadre of officials and gentry shouted tremblingly." County magistrate, please save us! This time, we will do what you want. Someone cried and muttered. County magistrate, we will never dare to be against you in the future. "Someone kept talking. What's more, he kept kowtowing to Song Yu and called: "County magistrate, you don't care about the villain, spare us, as long as you can lead us through this disaster, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you." ”

Song Yu didn't stop, didn't look back, didn't say a word, he walked forward slowly until he disappeared into the curtain and disappeared. The people in the hall suddenly panicked, and some of them completely collapsed, either crying or laughing wildly.

"Early tomorrow morning, all the humane county yamen will gather, and the government will open a council." Song Yu's voice came from afar.

When a few clever subordinate officials and gentlemen heard this, they immediately understood what was going on, and responded loudly: "Obey the order of the county magistrate." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Unlike the oppressive atmosphere in the city tonight, the atmosphere outside the city under the same night sky is full of passion.

In the camp, the butter torch burned majestically, illuminating the entire camp. Batch after batch of cavalry left the camp and spread out a hundred miles away. Slaves were driven to build barracks, sergeants were ordered to patrol the barracks, and men were driven to carry grain and goods. Arm-thick timber was driven deep into the soil, and the shouts of people spread hundreds of miles away, huge camp tents were built on the ground, teams of soldiers walked and patrolled between the tents, and carts of grain and grass were successively transported into the rear army camp. It's a hot scene.

The big tent of the Chinese army, a banquet is being held. The sound of silk and bamboo is endless, the dance of beauty is endless, the aroma of food is endless, the drink of spirits is endless, and the feeling of joy is endless. The banquet was staggered, the words were cheerful, and the joy was harmonious.

"Brothers, we can have today's career, thanks to the help of Wang Junshi, everyone respects Junshi with me." The rugged man at the head said loudly.

"Honoring the military division." All of us in the room raised their glasses and drank them all.

"Jian Weiwei people, how dare they do this, this merit depends on the soldiers." A young handsome student on the left stood up when he heard this, arched his hand, and responded modestly.

"I respect you too." Wang Jian continued, and then drank the wine in the cup without saying anything.

"Haoshuang, my favorite thing in my life is a bold and capable man like you, just say this to you, I want to stay drunk with you tonight." Xu Ba, who looked like a big brother, picked up an urn of wine, walked in front of Wang Qian, and said arrogantly.

The others in the big tent took advantage of the situation and coaxed: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! "Everybody forgot that they were on the battlefield.

Wang Jian took the wine urn, he read the military books since he was a child, and often reminded himself not to drink in the barracks by drinking mistakes, and he clearly knew that with the current situation, if everyone in this tent was drunk, what would be the result of tomorrow's war. In order to prevent this group of people from becoming ghosts under the knife and let his plan fall short, he decided to remind these rugged men who had just turned from roving bandits to disciplined generals.

Putting the wine urn again, Wang Jian arched his hand to everyone and said: "Heroes, with the current situation, it is better not to drink too much. Although we have now exhausted the water in the siege of Pengcheng, after all, the county prince of Pengcheng has not surrendered, we have not succeeded, and the war has not ended, just in case, it is better for the whole army to ban alcohol and pay close attention to the situation in Pengcheng. ”

Xu Bahaha laughed, and then said, "The military advisor is too worried. The military advisor didn't know: this Pengcheng was originally stationed with 3,000 soldiers and horses, these soldiers and horses were not weak brigades, but the soldiers trained by Song Yu, the prince of Pengcheng County. However, seven or eight years ago, things suddenly took a turn for the better, a new county duke came to Pengcheng County, and soon after there was a rumor that Song Yu was set aside, we don't know whether it was true or not, so we sent 1,800 people down the mountain to try to loot, and the county duke quickly sent troops to exterminate us, and the two sides fought. The county prince was greedy for life and feared death, and his command was improper, so he was defeated and fled, and the number of officers and men killed by us amounted to more than 1,500. Later, although the number of officers and soldiers in Pengcheng was increased to 3,000, the elite level was far less than before, and we could only defend some towns. ”

Xu Ba took a sip of wine, and then said: "If these 3,000 soldiers and horses were based in this Pengcheng now, I am afraid that no matter how the military advisor persuaded us, we would not have sent troops." But according to our spy report: in order to protect his own safety, the county prince actually took away more than half of Pengcheng's garrison, according to our prediction, now Pengcheng should only have less than 600 garrisons, no soldiers in hand, unless that Song Yu has the ability to Sami into a soldier, otherwise that Song Yu is the turtle in the urn. ”

"The turtle in the urn, the eldest brother is a good metaphor. Everyone toast Big Brother," the others in the tent coaxed again.

"Why do I feel ominous?" After listening to Xu Ba's words, Wang Jian still had an ominous premonition, he thought.

"Brother Wang, drink." Xu Ba persuaded Wang Jian to drink again. Wang Jian couldn't refuse, took a sip lightly, and then said to Xu Ba: "Although what Brother Xu said is very right, the younger brother still feels that there is something wrong with the drunken military camp. Why don't you let my little brother help you watch Pengcheng, how about you big brother drink to your heart's content? ”

"Since Brother Wang took the initiative to ask for it, it will be troublesome." Xu Ba saw that he couldn't persuade Wang Qian, so he let him leave the big tent. Wang Jian walked out of the big tent alone and returned to his camp.

In the big tent, a group of people waited for Wang Jian to walk away, and suddenly the scene became solemn, and everyone was stunned. A person opened his mouth and asked: "Big brother, Wang Qian's performance today clearly shows that he is not a person from the same road as us, he is from Qin, Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, Qin people are tigers and wolves, Wang Jian has bad intentions, what should we do." ”

Xu Ba sighed, and then said: "It's a pity, although this person is young, he is familiar with military affairs, works in scheming, and helps me train more than 2,000 elite soldiers, but he can't be used by me, it's a pity." Xu Ba took a sip of wine, and then said: "Seeing that he has also helped us, as long as he does not violate our interests, let him go, don't kill him." After this battle, send him back to Qin. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Wang Jian hurriedly walked into the tent worriedly, and the tent was already full of people. The soldiers and retainers who had accompanied him from the Qin State were discussing the current form and planning the next action.

Seeing that Wang Jian had returned to the tent, the retainers of the Wang family led by him hurriedly stood up to greet Wang Qian, and while handing over the sweat towel, he asked, "Son, what happened." ”

"The situation is not good, and the bandits are arrogant. As the saying goes: the arrogant army will be defeated, and I am afraid that our operation will fail. Wang Jian replied worriedly.

Everyone in the tent was stunned when they heard this, and then there was a trace of chaos. One soldier asked, "What should we do?" ”

Wang Jian sighed and replied: "Those of us who are now standing in the enemy country, like wanderers without roots, can only do their best and obey the destiny of heaven. ”

The listeners were in an uproar, and they had a hot temperament, and the soldiers led by Wang Jian who had been dissatisfied asked: "Wang family boy, are you talking like this, General Sima Jin, who has high hopes for you?" ”

Sima Jin, the second grandson of Sima Cuo, the guest secretary of the Qin State, was the first general under Bai Qi.

The army is the most hierarchical organization created by human beings, for the general can die without losing its authority, Wang Jian has been familiar with military books since childhood, and naturally knows that the army is not a weak general, and when he saw someone provoking him, he made up his mind to use this opportunity to establish his authority and make an example of the monkey.

"Wang Jing, the sergeant of the army is disrespectful to the main general, according to the law of Great Qin, what crime should he be guilty of?" Wang Jian asked about the generals beside him, and his tone was light, without a trace of anger.

"Return to the Lord, and give a hundred reproaches according to the rod of law." The next home will answer.

"In this case, pull out the person who speaks disrespectfully for me and beat me a hundred boards." Wang Jian said without hesitation. Everyone in the tent was stunned when they heard this, and then they became solemn, leaving only the angry scolding of the person who provoked Wang Qian.

After a while, the wailing of someone came to the bed outside the tent, and with this wail, Wang Jian began to speak.

"I know that most of you have military merits, and you are all people with small titles in the country, and you look down on the sons and daughters of a military general family like me, and you have a certain amount of resentment when you come to this Chu country, so since I went abroad, I have never been dictatorial, I have discussed everything with you, and I have given you enough respect, but now I want to tell you: Since I am your general, you must obey my orders, you have to coil for me, and you have to give me a tiger, otherwise you will blame me for not thinking about getting along for such a long time." Wang Jian roared and said, the general's might was fully displayed. The whole tent became more silent.

"Returning to the general, a hundred rods have been beaten." After some time, the magistrate walked into the tent and broke the quiet atmosphere.

"Remember, this is what happens if you don't respect your superiors." Wang Jian continued: "Stand down!" Always at your fingertips. ”

"No." Everyone withdrew from the tent one after another, and no one made a noise.
