Chapter Twenty-Seven: The First Battle

In the evening, Li Deyi followed everyone back to the Weibei camp, and as soon as he entered the camp gate, he found that the entire camp was still busy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info All kinds of shouts come out from time to time. "Tap! Little rabbit cub, these words are all gilt copper, and scraping off the gold on this surface is money! Touching a little bit is a little bit of gold! "This is a few veterans commanding a few young soldiers to move the huge plaques of the families that are about to shake half the county." These window frames are all carved, so I can find a place to put it down, and I will have to use it to build a house in the future, such a large carved window frame, one will cost at least twenty silver coins! The young soldier straightened his tongue and said, "Good boy, buy one chicken for three pieces of silver, and seven chickens on this window frame!" The veteran raised his hand and gave it to him, and scolded with a smile: "It's quite good at counting, let's go to the logistics camp in the future." You kid knows how to eat chicken! Be careful, carry these window frames to the back office, and wrap them in a tarpaulin! "The entire Weibei camp is busy disposing of the goods stolen from the Zhenban County home.

Li Deyi was about to go to the master with Xiao Liu, but a soldier was stopped halfway through, saying that the master was discussing with several generals in the staff camp, and asked them to come back and go over together.

When he arrived at the gate of the staff camp, Medical Officer Xiao Liu made a report, and directly opened the curtain and went in. As soon as he entered, Dr. Xiao Liu was stupid, and Li De, who was walking behind, kept hitting the back of his senior brother, "Senior brother, why did you stop?" You ......" Li Deyi poked his head out from behind Doctor Liu and looked inside, also dumbfounded.

I saw the jewels full of tents, Han put on a huge Fushou golden lock around his neck, not to mention 2 catties of weight, he was really not afraid of breaking his neck, and his ten fingers were full of gold rings, and each ring was also inlaid with a huge gem, red, blue, and green. Han Jiang's face was flushed with joy at this moment, and he looked like a nouveau riche. The money owner didn't have a gold ring, and he held a large handful of gold ingots in both hands, and his eyes were about to pop out. Mr. Li also stared at the gold, silver and jewelry on the table, and the corners of his mouth opened up at a strange angle. Even the old doctor Sun, who has never cared much about gold and silver goods, is playing with a jade Ruyi in his hand at this time, the jade Ruyi is white all over, sprinkled with a warm milky white soft light, without a trace of variegation, and it is a good mutton fat jade at a glance.

Seeing the two juniors coming in, the old doctor Sun coughed, and the three generals woke up like from a dream, and instantly changed back to a serious expression, but Han Jiang secretly carried a ring inlaid with a huge emerald in his arms. Old Medical Officer Sun lowered his voice and said, "This earthquake has really looted a lot of good things in Banxian County over the years. Ahem, the teacher called you here today to settle those women. Doctor Xiao Liu said understandingly: "We have a lot of singles in Weibei Camp, just take this opportunity to solve it, the woman who was rescued from the Tuliao people before can also get married in two years." This time, a lot of singles can be solved, and the rest of the camp will have hope. Old Medical Officer Sun nodded and said, "This is also the intention of the teacher, our wounded barracks will take in those women for the time being, it is time to make plans for this matter." ”

Li Deyi should have been sleeping at night at this time, because of the root of the disease left by the previous cultivation of the original qi, his head was hurting, and Zhihai was also violently shaking. After listening to what the old doctor Sun said, he always felt that he was very familiar with this matter, as if he had seen it somewhere, and couldn't help but interject: "I see that those old coarse people are enough to attract girls, and I will have to help them when the time comes." Doctor Liu turned his head and stared at his junior brother left and right, and said in surprise: "You half-grown child also understands this?" Did you grow hair? Li Deyi touched his head and said strangely: "I have hair, I have long hair." ”

The three of them were amused by Li Deyi's small appearance, and Li Deyi was so hairy by their laughter that he timidly hid behind the master, poking out his little head and looking at the three generals with confused eyes. Old Medical Officer Sun touched Li Deyi's head and said, "There is another thing, it is said that there is a second son in Zhenban County who has done it as President Qian, let's destroy his family, I am afraid he will not give up after he gets the news." Mr. Han said: "Since the Tuliao people came last year, many places are also in chaos now, and there are chaotic soldiers everywhere, and now there are routed soldiers who occupy the mountains as kings. And the imperial court is still busy doing something auspicious, vainly trying to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world. I guess I don't know where to flee to his second son. ”

Mr. Qian also followed and said: "I have also heard a little about the former promotion army, it is completely a showmanship, last year the Tuliao people came, they were directly defeated without engaging the enemy, and when they fled, they trampled on a lot of their own people." Li Jiang said: "If he doesn't come to seek revenge, it's just that, if he comes, he just gives us training and training, and he hasn't fought in battle for months, just training on weekdays, soldiers are easy to waste." If he comes, let's just practice the formation to meet the enemy, these few times are the Tuliao people, we don't dare to fight in front of the formation, we can only engage in a surprise attack and run away, it is easy to hurt morale if it goes on like this, just take him to practice, but also boost morale. "A few generals, you and I say a word, as if the second young master of the Zhen family is already meat on the board.

Although Li Deyi knew the elite of the Weibei Battalion, he didn't have any specific concepts. Although he saw with his own eyes that he repelled the Tuliao people, and also went to the Tuliao people to loot a few handfuls, there was no other army to compare, and it was still not clear how strong the Weibei camp was. Holding back the doubts in his heart, Li De waited for the discussion to end, and after walking out of the staff camp, he pulled the sleeve of Medical Officer Liu and asked, "Senior brother, are we that strong?" ”

Xiao Liu Medical Officer was surprised and said: "What are you talking about, our Weibei Battalion is the only soldier and horse in the world who still governs the army in accordance with the "Taizu Drill Code" and the "Taizu Military Strategy Minutes", although Dashuai Di has made slight changes to Taizu's method of military training, but the root is still Taizu's method. These are all systems that were set by Di Zaiqing and Di Shuai when they founded our Weibei Camp. Taizu himself said that if he could govern the army in strict accordance with his military book, no one in the world would be invincible. Li Deyi said: "Don't you always tell me that military affairs are the most taboo on paper. Xiao Liu said: "That's different, back then, I was invincible in my life and never defeated, and I started by relying on the three hundred old brothers to fight off the thieves who came to fight off the spear army. In that battle, nearly 100,000 rogues were swept away by Taizu's 300 people, killing chickens and dogs. Taizu's art of war is also not surprising, neither pay attention to tactics nor strategy, but only four big characters 'dignified'. Taizu once said: Let you be full of tricks and resourcefulness, I only lined up the battle array and rushed over, and everything will be overturned by my spear array. Taizu Rongma has never been defeated in his life, and he has swept away countless strong enemies, which also confirms his old man's art of war. When the old man Taizu fought the world, there were many strong armies in the world, such as tiger and leopard cavalry, dragoons, iron harriers, white armor soldiers, Hun archers, and so many strong enemies were easily overturned by Taizu. Later generations commented: The way of using soldiers has always paid attention to the combination of odd and positive, but Taizu only occupies one word of 'positive' in his life, but he is impeccable. The soldiers trained by Taizu back then, wearing a full set of armor and holding a spear, still have combat power after running 300 steps, and can continue to fight with the enemy's elite even if they break a leg. The military order stood still, and the sword and axe could not move the swords. Ling Jin, although there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, the soldiers have also advanced and not retreated. ”

Li Deyi looked up at Medical Officer Xiao Liu with admiration on his face, and said, "The founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty is really a god-like figure. Doctor Xiao Liu said confidently: "My Weibei Battalion is trained by Dashuai Di himself, and he trains in strict accordance with Taizu's Art of War. Moreover, since the establishment of our Weibei Battalion, hundreds of battles have been fought large and small, and there has been no defeat. ”

After hearing this, Li Deyi asked puzzledly: "Senior brother, we are so capable of fighting, why has the imperial court been weakening our Weibei camp for so many years?" Hearing his junior brother's question, Dr. Liu sighed and said, "Because of what? It's because we're stronger than all the other armies. Since the enthronement of today's son, all the military horses have defected to the Chinese courtiers of the DPRK, and only our Weibei battalion has not licked the smelly feet of civilian officials. At the beginning, the generals stationed in various places followed the trend and sent great gifts to His Majesty's Conglong Chongchen in Beijing, asking them to help say good things in front of the Son of Heaven, and now it has become a common practice. Because we hated those civil officials for killing Di Dashuai, we have never bowed to those civil officials, so we have always been suppressed and excluded by them. Don't look at the other armies, although they have become important ministers in the court, they have to dig out their hearts to get money for the expensive gifts they send every year. The empty salary that had been eliminated by Taizu has slowly reappeared in the army, and there are many things to resell military funds for money, and this is how the steel saber in the hands of the Tuliao people on the grassland came. After going on like this for seven or eight years, the combat effectiveness of the other armies has long been much worse than before. There was once a group of grass bandits near Gyeonggi, specializing in intercepting and killing passing officials and robbing their property, this case was shocking to the world at the time, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, there was such a group of bandits, and specifically intercepted and killed court officials, this is worth it? The Son of Heaven was furious and ordered several people and horses stationed in the Beijing camp near Zhongshen City to surround these thousands of grass bandits, guess what? ”

Li Deyi hurriedly asked, "What's going on in the back?" Senior brother? The corners of Xiao Liu's mouth hung up with a sneer, and he said in a disdainful tone: "The leader of that group of grass bandits actually directly led his subordinates to rush out of the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops, and went around to Zhongshen City to show off his might, and then walked away. Nearly 150,000 horses and horses spread all over the mountains and fields, and the grass bandits who were surrounded by less than 3,000 were caught even if they caught 3,000 pigs, but they were stunned by being rushed out of the encirclement, and they swaggered to the city of Jingshi and shook around. ”

Li De's face was full of disbelief when he heard it. Doctor Xiao Liu glanced at him and said, "Don't believe it, the later handling of this matter is more interesting." Those generals in the Beijing camp knew that this time they were embarrassed, and they resorted to means to buy off several important ministers who could influence the decision of the Son of Heaven, such as Taishi Cai in the court. The first sentence is not that our army is incompetent, but that the grass bandits are too cunning. What do you say, the soldiers and horses of Zhongshencheng have lacked joint drills in recent years, and they are unfamiliar with cooperation, so they were exploited by this gang of grass bandits. The Son of Heaven was fooled by several important ministers, and he also let go of the disgraceful Beijing camp this time, and instead urged them to conduct joint drills. ”

Li Deyi then asked: "Then our Weibei camp has been squeezed out and suppressed by various armies and court ministers?" Doctor Xiao Liu recalled: "Didn't I say it, our Weibei Camp is stronger than all of them." Later, we were suppressed and had nothing to do with this matter, when our Weibei battalion was guarding Longmenbao, an important border town in the north, and happened to repel an attack by the Tuliao people, and cut off some heads and sent them to Zhongshen City to report their merits, but I didn't expect to stab a hornet's nest this time. The army in the army that hugged Wenchen's thigh made a big joke, and on the other side, the grandmother was not in pain, but the Weibei battalion, which was not loved by the uncle, could win the battle. This strong contrast directly gave a resounding slap in the face to those Chinese courtiers who fantasized about using literature and martial arts every day. Those Wenchen have always been extremely vindictive and face-conscious, how can they suffer such a loss? They immediately took out the dirty methods they were accustomed to to rectify us, first instructed their inspectors who were full-time supervisors to come to investigate our Weibei camp, and secretly gave us a lot of stumbling blocks and wearing small shoes. Then, from then on, our Weibei battalion began to be suppressed and excluded by various armies. Logistics supplies often failed to arrive on time, and most of the military rations that had been transported for a long time were mixed with old grains and moldy grains. The weapons they received were also the inferior, and most of them were rusty. After Han Weiqi was elected as the prime minister by the court, my Weibei camp will be even more dark. ”

Speaking of this, Doctor Xiao Liu couldn't help but sigh: "Since I was seven or eight years old, there are still tens of thousands of horses in our Weibei Battalion, and now, there are only 1,000 people left." Just left this little person, thanks to the master's painstaking efforts over the years, it will not be dispersed. The soldiers and horses in the world still have the strength to fight when they encounter the Tuliao people to this day, only the Western Army of the Seed Family and my Weibei Battalion, and those who dare to attack the Tuliao people on the grassland are only one of our Weibei Battalion. The Western Army took refuge in the important ministers of the court, and there were too many elbows, and the breeders did not seek merit but no fault, just to defend the palace. No one ever thought that those pillars of the DPRK and the central government would be so defeated, and last year's battle actually completely wiped out the Western Army, the old general was imprisoned, and the small general died in the middle of the city. This year, the Tuliao people will come again, and I will see what they will do. ”

Li Deyi said in a skeptical tone: "Didn't you sign that kind of covenant, the Tuliao people won't come again this year, right?" Medical Officer Xiao Liu raised his head and stared at the north and said, "Have you ever seen a wolf when it is full?" The Tuliao people have been suppressed by us for so long, and now they have turned over, it is a hungry wolf, and the appetite of this hungry wolf is not so easy to fill. ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu retracted his gaze and said to Li Deyi: "It's useless to talk so much, the most important thing at the moment is to prevent the second son of the earthquake in Banxian County from bringing people to seek revenge." After you go back this time, you have to hurry up and practice the original qi, and this time against the master, I plan to let you go up and experience it too. "Huh? Yes! After a brief moment of consternation, Li Deyi almost didn't jump up with joy. Seeing the appearance of his junior brother, Xiao Liu pretended to raise his hand to fight, but Li De turned his head and ran away, leaving a sentence: "Senior brother, I have gone back to do evening class, you should rest early." ”

Until the end of March, more than a month has passed, and there is no shadow of the second son in Zhenban County. Li Deyi couldn't help but wonder if he didn't dare to come. After discussing with my senior brother a few times, Dr. Xiao Liu always said: "Most of them are delayed on the road, and he is always itching in his heart with such a big business." The news has already been dispersed, he has been a rout outside these days, and he has lived a grass-like life, the young master of a rich and noble family, how can he stand this kind of day, for these family properties, he will definitely come back to try. ”

Zhenban County has copied a lot of land deeds, all of which are good dry land. These days, the old medical officer Sun was busy recruiting people to organize spring ploughing, and he didn't care about Li Deyi. Medical Officer Xiao Liu was busy placing the women in the wounded barracks, and he couldn't take care of this junior brother. Li Deyi was looking forward to going into battle every day in his heart, so it was extremely difficult for more than a month, so he could only be ruthless by himself, cultivating his original qi alone, holding back his strength and waiting to go into battle to exert his power.

Just when Li Deyi was about to despair, there was finally news. As soon as Li De heard the letter, he immediately went to discuss with his senior brother, and Medical Officer Liu simply instructed him: "Don't rush to the front, follow others." Fight and protect yourself. He drove Li Deyi away. I went to the master again, and the master has been busy in the dark for the past month, and it is not an easy thing to organize spring ploughing. Especially when the Tuliao people came last year, the farmers outside the city were basically killed, and they couldn't even get together the manpower to farm the land. The job of farming is not something that can be done by just two people for a month or two. This is a major issue related to having enough to eat, and it must be taken seriously. The old doctor Sun and a few people were busy recruiting farmers every day, distributing fields, seeds, and farming tools, these jobs made the old man so tired that he didn't even have time to rest, and when he saw his little apprentice, he didn't have the strength to give advice, and after a few simple instructions, the old man hurried to sit on the chair and close his eyes to rest.

In mid-April, on this morning, the outpost finally came to report that a group of more than 300 people was coming to Dingbei County, and there were only dozens of miles left. As soon as Li De heard the news, he buried his face in the quilt and laughed for a while, until his little face was red.

Several generals didn't even hold a pre-war mobilization meeting, but simply bumped into each other and asked Qian to take the general out to exterminate them, yes, they used the word 'extermination'. Qian General always knew that there were many things going on in the camp in the past month, and he refused to gather more soldiers, so he only ordered a hundred of his own infantry and archers, and gathered fifty cavalry, and took him out of the city, and waited in battle under the city.

Li Deyi was arranged to stay with the cavalry. Hearing the news, Li Deyi was happy for a long time, and then he blew up, thinking to himself: How can I have a horse to ride, those horses are the baby bumps of our Weibei camp. After thinking about it, I thought of the mule "Humvee" again. His eyes rolled, and Li Deyi temporarily asked Wang Da Fat for some sheep blood sausage he made himself, and he begged his senior brother to buy a pack of spiced dried meat. With these two things, Li Deyi found the "Hummer" with a flattering smile on his face.

The mule was so fierce that he had a private room of his own, which he lived separately from the other horses. When he saw Li Deyi coming, he turned his head and turned his butt at Li Deyi, which means: I forgot my master when I got home from the grassland, and I didn't come to see my master these days. Now that I have something to ask for, and I come to the door with something, the master is not uncommon to take care of you.

Li Deyi cautiously approached the "Hummer", handed over the sheep blood sausage first, saw that the mule still ignored him, quickly opened the five-spice meat shop, and said: "I have eaten mutton these days, change the taste, and eat some dried meat." "The mule can still grit his teeth at the beginning and not look back, and he can't stand the worms in his stomach, you must know that although he has a single room, it is also the soldier who raises horses who is afraid that he will frighten other horses, so he is separated out alone, and he usually eats horse feed, and he can't eat anything good, as for the meat, then don't even think about it, the soldiers can only drink the broth every three or five days, how can he eat meat with a mule." Hummer "At this time, he deliberately took Joe, gluttony, and stalemate for a while, but finally never fought the gluttonous worm in his stomach, turned around and bit the thing in Li De's hand, ate it directly in two bites, and finally did not forget to spit out the outer packaging oil paper. Swallowing these delicious fragrant meats, the "Hummer" snorted, still lukewarm to Li Deyi.

Li Deyi was anxious, thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "I'm going into battle, with the cavalry, I can't do without horses." They didn't let me ride a horse, so I had to come and beg you, you help me this time. I, when I go back, I beg the master to let you move in with me and we can live together, do you think? You eat whatever I eat, and I guarantee that I will have meat to eat every day. "Old Medical Officer Sun specially instructed his little apprentice to open a small stove, and Li Deyi suddenly had meat to eat." Hummer" uncle rolled his eyes when he heard the first half of the sentence, and thought: Riding a horse? You go to find the horse, what are you looking for the master. When he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't bear it anymore, he really choked him enough these days, and there was no oil and water in his stomach. The "Hummer" uncle was heartbroken, and I did it for this sentence of 'eating meat every day'! stretched out his head and arched Li Deyi, put his front legs on his stomach, and motioned for Li Deyi to come up.

When Li De saw that the "Hummer" agreed, he was happy, but when he saw the smooth back of the "Hummer", he frowned again. Li Deyi didn't want to ride naked anymore this time, he slept on his stomach for five or six days last time, and he didn't dare to sit, and he was red and swollen for several days. With the lesson of the last time, Li Deyi also came prepared this time, directly took out a temporary borrowed saddle from behind, and said to the "Humvee": "This time it is really a battle, you can't let me ride it naked, how terrible it is." Let's discuss, you put on this saddle, and I will add you an extra piece of meat every day, what do you think? As soon as the "Hummer" heard that he could eat an extra piece of meat every day, he reluctantly agreed, nodded, and asked Li Deyi to quickly put it on. He forgot that Li Deyi hadn't said that he would give him a few pieces of meat to eat every day. When it was time to bring the reins, the "Humvee" did not agree, and Li De saw that if he continued to stalemate, he would delay the time to go into battle, so he had to reluctantly ride up.

Li Deyi rode a "Humvee" and happily chased after the head of the money outside the city. When they caught up, the cavalry saw that they were a half-old child, and they all knew that this was Sun Junshi's little apprentice, and they didn't dare to slack off. The cavalry leader was a veteran named Wu Zicai, who greeted Li Deyi and said: "Sun Junshi has already made arrangements, and the little medical officer can follow us and wait for the rear, and you must not act without authorization, and you will be punished for violating the military order." Li Deyi nodded obediently and honestly waited at the end.

When the cavalry saw a child coming from behind, they also looked at it curiously. "Can you go into battle at such a young age?" "Less nonsense, you don't look at what he's riding?" "Ahh It's that mule, isn't there no one in our camp who can ride it? Another soldier said, "Otherwise, why do you think Old Master Sun accepted him as an apprentice?" There must be something extraordinary about that. At this time, the sound of drums came from the front, and by listening to the sound of this drum, it was clear that the infantry in front had engaged the enemy. At this moment, these cavalrymen still have a few idle words, and it seems that everyone didn't take these rogue-like routs in their eyes. Wu Ziqi, who led the team, came over with a sharp look, and all the soldiers closed their mouths in amusement, and the atmosphere in the team suddenly became sluggish.

"The money will always be sent to the order! It's time for us to play! Wu Ziqi shouted loudly, and the cavalry began to slowly beat their horses forward. Li Deyi also patted the "Humvee" under his crotch and said, "Hey, brother, it's our turn to play." ”
