Chapter Eighty-Six: Settle the Army's Heart
In the early hours of the morning, when the Eastern Heavenly Realm had just revealed the "white belly of the fish", Zhang Youhua and Zhang Youneng hugged Chang Zhenbang and said goodbye to the old tearful Master Chang and rushed to the Wenxian military camp.
At this time, the soldiers who returned from the holiday also came back one after another, lined up in a neat queue and waited for Chang Zhenbang's review, Chang Zhenbang ascended the rostrum, he looked at the energetic soldiers below, and said excitedly: "Brothers, this time to the south to quell the rebellion, it is the time to make meritorious contributions, Chang congratulates all the brothers on the victory and success!" Let's go! After a brief and concise speech, Chang Zhenbang crossed the horse, and the regiment commanders and officers at all levels looked stupid all of a sudden, how could they do it like this, but who let the family have the final say? Hurriedly followed with the troops.
Thirty miles away from the barracks, the Chang Pavilion, the squires of Wenxian County surrounded Duan Hongchen, Yu Guangyin had been waiting here for a long time with wine and meat and other rewards, as soon as he heard that Chang Zhenbang was coming, the gongs and drums found by the squires also blew happily. When Chang Zhenbang arrived, these squires swarmed up and warmly invited Chang Zhenbang to the long pavilion.
Duan Hongchen in the long pavilion, Yu Guangyin and the two hurriedly greeted him, Duan Hongchen raised a bowl of wine and handed it to Chang Zhenbang, and said: "Brother Xian quelled the rebellion this time, and Brother Fool is an elder object, so I will use this wine to congratulate Brother Chang Xian on success and victory!" ”
Chang Zhenbang took Duan Hongchen's wine and didn't say anything, he raised his neck and drank the wine. All the squires shouted hello together.
Yu Guangyin immediately brought another glass of wine over and said, "Stop fighting for martial arts!" This time, I hope that the adults will think of the common people in the world and kill less! ”
Duan Hongchen's brows furrowed, although he was dissatisfied with Chang Zhenbang in his heart, how could he say this when he saw off the wine to see him off? Isn't it bad luck! Duan Jiu, who was standing behind him, laughed, who knew that this laugh caused dissatisfaction among Duan Hongchen and the others, and he quickly lowered his head immediately and shut his mouth! , as for those squires, they were also a little dumbfounded.
Chang Zhenbang took the wine glass with both hands and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, Zhenbang remembers!" "After saying that, I drank it all, and it was very free!
Next, many squires toasted a glass of wine, and the oldest squire held it in front of Chang Zhenbang, and said: "There are many fierce tigers in Wenxian County, which leads the spring breeze to cross the jade pass, and the squire of Wenxian County congratulates the adults to whip the golden stirrup, and the people sing triumphant songs back, and I hope that the adults will drink this cup!" ”
Chang Zhenbang respectfully took the wine glass, and after circling the soldiers marching outside the long pavilion, he drank it all.
After seeing off the three glasses of wine, Chang Zhenbang said goodbye and crossed the horse.
Duan Hongchen looked at his distant figure and said, "Sun Bandit is rampant but not for long, I don't know if I can see Brother Zhenbang again!" ”
Yu Shiyin said: "Heaven has its own virtue of good life!" Chang Zhenbang went to quell the rebellion and settle the people, as long as he didn't kill more evil, he would be blessed! After speaking, he arched his hand at Duan Hongchen and left on his own.
Duan Jiu leaned over and said, "It's really hateful to rely on the old and sell the old in time!" ”
Duan Hongchen said, "If it's hateful, it's hateful!" It's just a whiny old man! Let's go back! With that, he left surrounded by Duan Jiu, and the rest of the squires also left, but before they left, they had already handed over the wine and meat of the reward soldiers to the relevant officials.
Chang Zhenbang walked out of the long pavilion, and before he walked out of three or four miles, many men and women helped the old and the young to come out of the woods on both sides, and many soldiers in the team had already run out to meet them.
Hua Zhongtian was furious, rode away, waved the whip in his hand, hit the heads of the soldiers who ran over, and said viciously: "Get back to Lao Tzu!" ”
Those soldiers would rather bear his whipping than say a word or two to their relatives, they can bear it, but the parents, wives and children of those soldiers can't see it, several old women can't help but say that they hugged Hua Zhongtian aside, you say a word, I teach Hua Zhongtian a lesson, don't look at this Hua Zhongtian soldiers are vague at all, but in the face of these old mothers are powerless, so they have to let them curse.
Liu Shaohua rode his horse to Chang Zhenbang and said: "The chariot, the horse Xiaoxiao, the pedestrian bow and arrow are at the waist." The grandmother and wife sent each other off, and the dust did not see the Xianyang Bridge. The clothes stopped crying, and the crying went straight to the sky. ”
Chang Zhenbang glanced at Liu Shaohua and said lightly: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days is a while!" ”
Liu Shaohua sighed and said: "There are many police in the border cities, and the number of captives and cavalry has migrated. The feather came from the south, and the horse climbed the embankment. The long drive to the southern barbarians, the left Gu Ling Baiyue. Abandon the edge of the blade, and take your life safely? Parents don't care, what a son and wife! The name of the strong man is not allowed to take care of his own interests. Donate your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home! ”
Liu Shaohua sighed and said: "The general trend of the world is mighty, those who go well prosper, and those who rebel die!" ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly and said, "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!" After speaking, he urged the horse forward to the front of the ranks, saluted the relatives of the soldiers who hugged their heads and cried, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers and elders, I can understand your feelings, but the military law is clear, and those who fail to meet the deadline will be beheaded!" For the sake of brothers, I Chang Zhenbang is here to beg you! ”
Those fathers and elders looked at Chang Zhenbang with tears in their eyes and knelt down and said, "My lord, you must bring my son back, the little old man kowtowed to you!" Saying that, the wives, children, fathers and elders of those soldiers also bowed down one after another, and for a while, the sound of kowtowing like muffled thunder continued to sound.
"Fathers and brothers, please get up!" Chang Zhenbang shouted on the horse: "You can rest assured." I, Chang Zhenbang, swear to you again that I will do my best to bring my brothers home! ”
Many military dependents listened to Chang Zhenbang's assurance, and tearfully let them go to the side of the road, but there were also many crying and refusing to leave, Chang Zhenbang did not blame, just let these people follow afterwards, and marched forward with those troops.
Wenxian County is not far from Zhumadian, but the official road is dilapidated and has not been repaired for a long time, along the way, Chang Zhenbang's people and horses are not as fast as imagined, and the first day is only thirty or forty miles away, and the sky is dark, and the whole team can only be stationed in a Funiu Mountain Range, at the edge of a rather flat dense forest, burying pots and cooking.
With the bonfire as the center, the whole Wen County Corps is divided into four large circles, and the soldiers are drinking cooked soup and rice, singing the songs of their hometown, and the thick sorrow comes, which makes people can't help but feel a little sad when they hear it.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the battalion-level officer sat again, Chang Zhenbang sighed, and felt a little bad in his heart, the team in his hand is really not a regular field army, just this mental quality, the homesickness of only one day is so overflowing, if there is really a protracted war, it is not Chu Ge together, scattered and fled?
"My lord, these guys are really angry!" Hua Zhongtian heard the singing from outside, and said helplessly: "But after all, the brothers have never been on the real battlefield, please don't be surprised!" ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "This is human nature, I won't blame my brothers, even I can't help but feel a little homesick!" ”
Zhao Laosi said angrily: "A good man stands up to the sky, but he is dead but a scar the size of a bowl, Lao Tzu can't get used to these crying guys, there is no manhood at all!" Please also order severe punishment! ”
"No!" Liu Shaohua stood up and said: "Everyone has homesickness! Isn't there one Lord Zhao? ”
Zhao Laosi snorted coldly: "Yes, but what kind of system is crying?" They are soldiers, not little girls singing in the kiln! ”
Liu Shaohua said angrily: "Zhao Laosi, please be respectful!" Brothers are flesh and blood, not like you with a heart of stone! ”
"Bastard! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you to death! Zhao Laosi pulled Liu Shaohua's collar and punched him.
Liu Shaohua was not afraid, and said: "I will say it if I kill me!" ”
"Smack~!"
Chang Zhenbang slapped the table fiercely and shouted: "Now it's a matter of discussion in the army, what kind of system is it to be noisy!" ”
"Hmph~! For the sake of adults, spare you once! Zhao Laosi snorted coldly and threw Liu Shaohua aside.
Liu Shaohua got up from the ground, straightened his messy collar, and said, "Lord Chang, Zhao Laosi is so rude, please punish him!" ”
Chang Zhenbang glanced at him coldly and said: "When I came to you to discuss how to stabilize the morale of the army, you guys actually made trouble with me one by one, you are so capable, whoever can come up with a way to calm the morale of the army will have ten oceans, and if you can't think of it, go down and get ten military sticks!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Adjutant Zhang Youneng's eyes immediately widened, and he took the lead in rushing to say: "My lord has an idea!" ”
"Say!" Chang Zhenbang Road.
Zhang Youneng said: "In the final analysis, the brothers are afraid of war together, and they can't go home, so it's better for adults to let the wind out, just say that we are just a logistics security force, unless the Beiyang Army is wiped out, otherwise we won't be able to meet Sun Monkey at all~!" ”
Chang Zhenbang thought for a while and said, "That's a good idea!" ”
"No!" Liu Shaohua said: "If you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime, if the brothers know the truth, I'm afraid they will mutiny!" ”
Zhang Youneng said unconvinced: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, and the adults here won't say it, who can know about these soldiers?" ”
Chang Zhenbang nodded when he heard this, Zhang Youneng's eyebrows suddenly danced, and he looked at Liu Shaohua with eyebrows, who knew that Chang Zhenbang said: "Battalion Commander Liu is right, Adjutant Zhang, your method is still a little insufficient!" In this way, you go down and get five oceans, and let you go to the Judge Advocate General's Office to beat the five military sticks! ”
When Zhang Youneng heard this, he immediately felt the chrysanthemum tighten, and covered his back, but he thought that he would take the silver dollar, so he went beautifully.
Zhao Laosi stood up and said loudly: "My lord, I think it is better to set up a team to supervise the war and severely punish those who are in the army!" ”
Hua Zhongtian hurriedly stood up and hurriedly said: "It's better to be sparse than an adult, I think it's better to be more enlightened to the brothers!" ”
Chang Zhenbang glanced at the two of them and said, "It seems that this is the only way!" Let's do both inside and out! Battalion Commander Hua, you and Instructor Zhang Youhua are responsible for enlightening the brothers, and Zhao Laosi immediately set up a supervision team to severely punish the non-firing elements! ”
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Youhua, Zhao Laosi, and Hua Zhongtian hurriedly said.
Chang Zhenbang said: "Write down your military sticks and rewards first!" When it is time for Zhumadian to settle together, you can go down and prepare! ”
Zhang Youhua and the other three hurriedly saluted and withdrew.
For a while, there were only Chang Zhenbang and Liu Shaohua and Zhang Dafei and Zhang Xiaoliu in the camp, two of Chang Zhenbang's personal horses! This made Liu Shaohua feel an inexplicable nervousness and fear, as if something bad would happen. He hurriedly said: "I am incompetent, so I will go down and get ten army sticks!" As he spoke, he was about to retreat. But Chang Zhenbang stopped him and said, "Camp Commander Liu, I have something to say to you here!" ”
Liu Shaohua sat down suspiciously, and said, "I don't know what the adults have to say!" ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Dafei: "Little Liu, let the cook send the supper, and the official wants to talk with Lord Liu at night!" After receiving the order, Zhang Xiaoliu hurried down to prepare.
Liu Shaohua was uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and said: "My lord, don't be so expensive, if you have anything, you might as well just say it directly!" ”
"It's good!" Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, walked into Liu Shaohua's side, and whispered in his ear: "Liu Shaohua, you are from the Alliance!" ”
Liu Shaohua was taken aback, stretched out his hand to grab Chang Zhenbang, but heard a bang, a huge thrust hit his chest, and the blood stains bloomed like a lotus.
Where has Zhang Dafei seen this kind of scene, he was stunned, Chang Zhenbang glanced at him, sighed, raised his gun to Zhang Xiaoliu's head, and said, "Da Fei, brother has no opinion on you, it's just ...... Don't say anything, from now on your parents will be my parents, you can go with peace of mind! After speaking, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet whistled away, taking Zhang Dafei's head.
Zhang Youhua and the others heard the gunshots and then came three times in succession, only to realize that the situation was not good, and quickly rushed into Chang Zhenbang's big tent, but saw Chang Zhenbang lying in bloodstains, and Zhang Dafei and Liu Shaohua, who were not far from him, were already dead and could not die anymore.
The military doctor was immediately pushed in by Zhao Laosi and others, and rescued Chang Zhenbang for a while, and finally woke him up.
The officers rushed over and asked. "What's going on? Adults are alright! ”
The military doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The bullet grazed Master Chang's ribs and passed through, but fortunately it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, bandage it, and rest for a day or two!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, after all, they had not yet left the division, and it was not a good sign to surrender the general first. If Chang Zhenbang has three longs and two shorts, the morale of the defenders in Wenxian County is completely over.
Hua Zhongtian saw Chang Zhenbang open his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Enough, the adults have just woken up!" Zhang Youneng was a little unhappy, and said, "Let's talk about inconsequential things later!" ”
These words immediately angered many officers present, others are not good to talk about him, but Zhang Youhua can't ignore it, he glanced at his younger brother very dissatisfied, and said: "Two people died just after leaving Wenxian, and these two people are camp tents, and the other is Lord Chang's personal horse, how can it be said that it doesn't matter!" ”
Zhang Youneng said aggrievedly: "But my cousin has just ......"
Chang Zhenbang coughed a few times, struggled to do it and said, "It's not in the way!" After you went down just now, I have something to say to Liu Shaohua, a son of a bitch, who knew that he was actually a member of the Sun Monkey Gang, and when Xiao Liu went out for supper, he actually wanted to kill the official and seize power, but fortunately, the big plane spirit blocked a shot for me, so that I had a chance to kill this fang! After speaking, Chang Zhenbang panted, and the military doctor hurriedly went up to persuade him: "The adults are seriously injured and need to rest more, let's disperse!" ”
Chang Zhenbang pushed the military doctor away and said, "When I finish explaining, I will naturally rest, you don't have to worry about me!" ”
The military doctor said: "My lord, you can pay attention, don't be angry, it can hurt your body."
Chang Zhenbang nodded, and then said to Zhao Laosi and the others: "Next, I will order as the regiment commander, be sure to press this scandal down for me, and you may as well declare to the outside world that Liu Shaohua was sent by me to carry out a secret mission, and the battalion commander of his battalion is temporarily managed by the deputy battalion commander, and Zhang Youhua is promoted to the deputy battalion commander of Liu Shaohua's department and serves as a training instructor. Battalion Commander Hua did a good job as the commander of the team during my recuperation. It's not a big deal, it's up to the three of you to decide! Oops......" Before he finished speaking, Chang Zhenbang's face became distorted, and the military doctor immediately stood in front of Chang Zhenbang and dissuaded: "Your Excellency needs to rest, please go out!" ”
"Take care of your illness, brothers, and I'll take care of it!" After Hua Zhongtian finished speaking, he walked out with the officers one by one, and even Zhang Xiaoliu was kicked out by the military doctor.
As soon as they left, Chang Zhenbang sat up, took the hand of the military doctor, and said, "This time it's all up to the doctor!" ”
The military doctor smiled slightly and said, "It's good to say, in order to lead out the chaotic party, my lord is in danger, and Wang also admires it!" But dare to ask adults, how did this gunshot wound come about! ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly and said, "It was rubbed after the bullet pierced Da Fei's body!" ”
Doctor Wang said contemptuously: "My lord, I am a military doctor, there is no other way than self-harm from the angle of the wound on your body!" ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled, sent the supper he had just brought over to the military doctor, and said, "I can't hide it from you!" Late night snack, please! ”
Doctor Wang took the supper and put it aside, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, you are not hungry!" ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "From today onwards, Dr. Wang will have the final say in the procurement of military medical affairs, how about it?" ”
Doctor Wang was overjoyed, and immediately knelt beside Chang Zhenbang and said, "I will do my best to repay the grace of Chang Daren's promotion!" ”
Chang Zhenbang jumped off the bed with a smile, patted Doctor Wang's shoulder, and suddenly slipped from his sleeve and the dagger came into his hand, slashing towards Doctor Wang's neck.
"People can't be too smart!"
After Chang Zhenbang finished sighing, he hugged Dr. Wang on the bed, stretched out his hand to lift the carpet laid in the tent, dug a big pit one person deep with the dagger in his hand, and pushed Dr. Wang into it, buried it with floating soil, and after stepping on it, he said lightly: "For the sake of my brothers, I can only wronged you!" But don't worry, my wife and children will be paid monthly. ”
