After the readjustment of the army, the four major battalions under Xia Yi began to enter the right track of benign development step by step. And Xu Yuan and Nangong Wang worked together to preside over the government affairs of Xiayi, pacify the people's livelihood, operate and manage farming and encourage businessmen, even in the troubled times, Xiayi became more and more prosperous and stable.

More and more people came to join him, and population was the foundation of productivity, but for Xu Yuan and Nangong Wang, this was a worrying matter.

The problem is simple, there is not enough food and grass.

The people are short of food and can only rely on the government for help. However, the grain and grass stored in the city of Xiayi are stretched thin, and it is necessary to supply both the army and the people, and after a long time, it will definitely not be able to hold on.

Spring planting is over, but harvest is still months away. For such a long time, how can the soldiers and civilians of Xiayi resist this difficulty?

Therefore, Nangong Wang and Xu Yuan combined, and the amount of food received to the people began to be halved, and they made every effort to ensure the supply of the army. How can an army that can't even fill its stomach go to the front?

Even if the people complained, Xu Yuan couldn't take care of it anymore.

Wu Xie has a calm personality, and remains silent even if he is dissatisfied with Tang Genshui's superiority. But Wu Xian couldn't hold back, and it was okay to disobey Tang Genshui's military order in his daily life, but this **** actually defied Kong Sheng's alcohol ban and gathered people to drink.

The headquarters of the infantry battalion was located inside the city, but the barracks were outside the city for training purposes.

In the afternoon, Tang Genshui galloped out of Xiayi City, and galloped into the gate of the infantry battalion in a short time. According to the plan, all the soldiers should be in a state of training now, offensive and defensive drills, formation deduction, individual tactics, and so on.

Tang Genshui deeply felt Kong Sheng's kindness, and he could say that he did his best to manage this infantry.

The infantry battalion now has more than 1,300 men. The battalion is divided into teams, and fifty people are a team, and the leader is not called the captain to call the team; The team divided the fire, and ten people were one fire, and the leader was called the fire chief.

Tang Genshui was indeed a person with military talent, and he learned from the training methods of the officers and the army. Every day, the team is allowed to train individually, and then a small group practice on five days -- that is, 10 teams of men and horses drill the offensive and defensive formation. On the 10th, dozens of teams of men and horses of the infantry battalion mixed the formation and collectively deduced.

How to train? Tang Genshui commanded and dispatched in the center, and the two deputies Wu Xianwu Xie each led more than ten teams of infantry, a hundred paces apart, and waited for the battle, and then listened to the trumpeter blow the first trumpet to line up, and the second trumpet died down. The three-way trumpet raised the flag, heard the drums, and the two teams rushed forward with shouts.

Then one of the teams sounded the gong, and as soon as the gong sounded, the other team withdrew, and the other team continued to advance, and then suddenly the gong sounded in the advancing team, and the other team withdrew. Repeatedly, it is the sense of group cooperation and the awareness of orders and prohibitions that are trained by the soldiers.

For corps operations in the ancient era of cold weapons. The force value of the individual soldier is actually negligible. Except for generals.

Today is the period of the 10-day joint practice.

Tang Genshui jumped on his horse and ordered his soldiers to beat the drums of war. The sound of the drums was an order, and when they heard the drums, all the soldiers immediately came out of the barracks, armed with weapons, and ran in formation to their respective formations. After the initial clutter. The footsteps roar with a stirring rhythm and rhythm.

Tang Genshui looked at the group of soldiers under his command with some relief, and nodded secretly.

The momentum of the joint training of more than 1,000 people is big enough.

The kung fu of the tea, all the soldiers are basically in place, and the queue is completed. The two lieutenants who could lead the team - only one arrived, and Wu Xie stood at the front of his formation with a gloomy face. The horizontal knife in his hand rested on the horse's back, and he turned his head to look at the barracks, his eyes a little anxious.

Tang Genshui frowned, his face was already dark, but now it became even darker because of anger.

Military orders are like a mountain, and they don't come out when they hear the drums, and when they practice together, Wu Xian is late and does not arrive, which is a serious crime against military discipline. For Wu Xian's usual cynicism and disobedience, Tang Genshui turned a blind eye and tolerated what he could tolerate, but at the critical moment, it was related to the major events of the army's reorganization and the majesty of the main general, and Wu Xian openly disobeyed, which directly touched Tang Genshui's bottom line.

"Beat the drum again!" Tang Gen said coldly.

The herald beat his drum again.

The rousing drums echoed in the empty field for a long time, but Wu Xian was still nowhere to be seen. Don't say that the soldiers began to whisper, even Wu Xie couldn't hold it back, if it wasn't for the military order, he would definitely turn his horse's head and rush to the barracks and drag Wu Xian out.

Tang Genshui was silent.

After a while, he raised the command flag in his hand, and Wu Xie saw that he was about to give the order to beat the drum for the third time, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry, rode over, bowed down on the horse, and said, "Please calm the general's anger and pause for a moment!" ”

If the three-way drum is not enough, Wu Xian committed an unforgivable felony. If Tang Genshui enforces the law strictly, Wu Xian will be seriously injured by the rod if he does not die.

Tang Genshui raised his eyebrows, clenched his teeth, and put his raised hand back again.

He lowered his voice and said, "Wu Jie, return to your place!" ”

At this moment, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves from the barracks, and the horses were whipped and galloped over.

Four or five captain-like soldiers, among them was Meng Zan, these four people stood in the queue and looked at Wu Xian who was swaying over on the horse, especially Meng Zan, a sinister sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Although Meng Zan did not get Kong Sheng's letter of appointment as a captain, he was very comfortable under Wu Xian, and he deliberately flattered him during this time, and he was appointed by Wu Xian as his captain, becoming the most relied on by Wu Xian among the more than a dozen captains.

Meng Zan is very good at doing what he likes, and he is very good at telling words, although Wu Xian had a bad impression of him at first, he couldn't withstand Meng Zan's sugar-coated cannonball's attack, and he was finally defeated. Meng Zan knew that Wu Xian was not convinced by the infantry battalion led by Tang Genshui, and he also knew that Wu Xian was Kong Sheng's henchman and had a big backer behind him, so he did a lot to provoke the relationship between Wu Xian and Tang Genshui behind his back.

At noon today, it was these four people who pouted Wu Xian to drink, and Wu Xian didn't grasp it for a while, so he drank two big drinks. It is easy to get sleepy after drinking, and when I fall asleep this night, I oversleep and miss the point of military training.

Before Wuxian's people approached, a strong smell of wine entered Tang Genshui and Wujie's nostrils.

Wu Jie's face changed suddenly, and his hand holding the horizontal knife trembled.

Tang Gen's water surface sank like water, and he looked at Wu Xian angrily, so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Whether it's tolerant, conniving, or turning a blind eye to Kong Sheng's face, but there is a limit to all of this.

Kong Sheng's city-wide alcohol ban was issued for more than a day or two, and no one in the city dared to disobey and offend. But Wu Xian actually gathered a crowd to drink in private, what a bold and reckless act?!

Tang Gen's water tongue Zhan Chunlei angrily reprimanded: "Wu Xian, you actually violated the Overseer's prohibition of alcohol, openly drank alcohol, and you could have beaten the drum to train the army, but you couldn't delay it, can you be guilty?" ”

Wuxian woke up most of the time, but he was still a little drunk, he made a mistake, and he made a big mistake by drinking, and he felt a little uneasy and guilty in his heart. Sadly, Tang Genshui scolded him in public, and the arrogance and unconvincing in his heart rose again.

He sneered at his horse, sneering, "What do you have to say that a certain family is drinking?" Who saw Lao Tzu drinking? Who? Stand up and let Lao Tzu see! ”

Wu Xian waved his horizontal knife and looked around the audience with a big stab.

The soldiers in the audience were silent, including the small and medium-sized leaders, who maintained a strange silence.

Wu Xian Wu Xie and Tang Genshui are not compatible, this is a well-known thing in the camp. The so-called immortal fights are easy to injure mortals by mistake, whether it is Tang Genshui or the Wu brothers, they are all the objects of ordinary soldiers, they are afraid of the disputes between the two sides, who dares to say more than half a word.

Tang Genshui tried his best to suppress the surging fire. For Kong Sheng's sake, he decided not to pursue Wu Xian's drinking, but he missed the joint training of the whole army, which must be severely punished, otherwise how could the strict military law restrain other soldiers, and how could he, the main general, order and obey the public?

"Two drums just arrived, and I missed a little bit, is this a fact? Military law is strict, and you will not be tolerated! Come on, take down Wuxian, and punish twenty rods! Tang Genshui paused word by word, the first half of his voice was still low, and the second half suddenly rose a few degrees.

Wu Xian had already let it go anyway, so he simply pretended to be crazy with wine, deliberately venting his dissatisfaction with these days: "What did you miss something? Lao Tzu is sick today, do you know? Sick! Lao Tzu has diarrhea and squatting in the pit, you Tang Lieutenant Tang General can still manage Wu's shit and fart? ”

Burst!

Wu Xian's vulgar justification sparked a burst of laughter from the soldiers around him.

Wu Jie's face turned dark, and he said in his heart, brother, are you crazy or evil, you are making such a mess publicly, aren't you forcing Tang Genshui to use punishment?

You make mistakes in the first place, unscrupulous, if you make trouble with Kong Sheng, where will you still have good fruits to eat?

A soldier in the queue actually made a noise, gloating and applauding, Tang Genshui's face sank, the long lance in his hand stiffened, and shouted: "Come on, take that guy down - there is a commotion in the military formation, with ill intentions, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

Tang Genshui's two fierce pro-soldiers broke into the military formation, pulled out the soldier who was born in Hongze Shuikou, brought him to the front of the battle, raised his sword in his hand, and killed this guy on the spot.

A big head hit the ground, blood gushing and bleeding all over the ground.

The soldiers in the audience were terrified, and a few soldiers who were instructed to fish in troubled waters and stir up trouble also obediently closed their mouths and hung their heads, not daring to show any more abnormalities.

Tang Genshui ordered someone to kill this coaxing soldier, turned his head to look at Wu Xian, and said coldly: "Wu Xian, you disobeyed the military order, disturbed the school field, and sabotaged the joint training, don't think that you are the captain of Zhiguo appointed by the overseer, and the general will spare you." Come, take him down! ”

Several of Tang Genshui's personal soldiers surrounded him with horizontal knives.

This time, Tang Genshui was determined to take down Wuxian and torture him in public to set the record straight. In fact, he has also been forced by Wu Xian to the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger, if he does not severely punish Wu Xian, how can he face more than a thousand soldiers? What kind of face do you have to be the commander of this infantry battalion again?

Wu Xian had come to this anyway, and he also had the idea of breaking the jar, sneering and waving a horizontal knife on his horse, and roared angrily: "Who dares to touch me? If you're not afraid of death, go on! (To be continued.) )
