After the recruits handed over the bandits and the Caozhou government, they embarked on the way back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When they came, these recruits were looking forward to suppressing bandits and eager to make contributions, and many of the recruits were very jumpy and beaming all day long.

But on the way back, there were no more such people, and the recruits became much more silent, and after seeing life and death, they realized that war was really not a good thing.

Especially after inadvertently, after sweeping the straw mat wrapped in the corpses of their comrades in the middle of the line, all the recruits gritted their teeth.

Maybe they are swearing in their hearts that they will treat the families of their comrades-in-arms well when they go back, or they are silently assuring their families that they will be strong and alive and will not let their families experience life and death.

After this battle, these recruits completed the sublimation of soldiers, and at this time they can be regarded as real soldiers.

Zhao Gu and Cao Wei saw the changes in the recruits and were very relieved that the purpose of the imperial court's military training was finally completed.

――――－－

After more than two days of hurrying, the new army left the city less than 100 miles away, and all the soldiers returned to their hearts like arrows, eager to grow an extra pair of legs, and return to Kaifeng the next moment.

Zhao Gu was also quite excited in his heart, although this time the bandits were only five days in Mojian Mountain, except for the six days on the road back and forth, but for some reason, he always felt that time passed too slowly, and the five days of bandits were as if there were several months.

He knew that this was because he hadn't seen Su Xiaocheng in the past eleven days, and he didn't want to lie to himself, he just wanted Su Xiaocheng.

If you don't see each other for a day, that's what you're talking about!

Thinking of Su Xiaocheng, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Gu's mouth.

When the new army entered Kaifeng City, it happened to be time for lunch, I don't know if I haven't eaten the food I cooked these days, how did Su Xiaocheng and the Lord of Cheshire survive, it should be difficult for them to adapt to the meals made by others, right?

"Zhao joins the army, General Cao is looking for you." When Zhao Gu was thinking about what to give Su Xiaocheng to eat, a recruit came to his horse and said with a fist.

Zhao Gu nodded, pinched the horse's belly, rode to the front army, and saw Cao Wei.

Cao Wei's face was quite unsightly at this time, and when he saw Zhao Gu coming, he gave him a look, Zhao Gu turned his head without a trace, looked around Cao Wei, and found that General Wang, who was supposed to be in the rear army, was also here.

This General Wang has been avoiding Zhao Gu since the last time when Zhao Gu had an unpleasant quarrel with him, and the two have never met again, and when he suddenly saw him, Zhao Gu couldn't help but be vigilant.

After General Wang saw Zhao Gu, the smug look in his eyes flashed, and then he quickly showed an amiable smile and greeted Zhao Gu with a smile.

Zhao Gu also nodded at him, and then listened to Cao Wei say: "Zhao joins the army, the court has instructions for you." ”

As he spoke, Cao Wei handed Zhao Gu a piece of paperwork, and Zhao Gu took it and read it, his face suddenly turned cold.

"This military order was just passed on?" Zhao Gu asked.

General Wang slapped his forehead and said with annoyance: "I'm sorry Zhao joined the army, this military order came down with the paperwork for dealing with the bandits in Mojian Mountain, but I was busy with the bandits in Mojian Mountain at the time, so I forgot about it, and I just remembered it." ”

Zhao Gu sneered: "General Wang really has a good reason. ”

General Wang's face turned cold: "What do you mean by Zhao joining the army?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Gu shook it suddenly, threw the general order at General Wang, and said: "The military order says that bandits are also making trouble on Tiger Mountain, which is a hundred miles away from Mojian Mountain, and let you and I take a thousand recruits to suppress bandits on the way back to Kaifeng, and stipulate that the order will be completed within ten days after the military order is issued, but you didn't remember this military order until you were about to return to Kaifeng, you fucking stupid me, right?" ”

"Zhao joins the army, you have something to say." General Wang sneered and shouted.

Zhao Gu squinted at him: "Do you still need to say this directly?" Even an idiot can think that the place mentioned in the military order is only half a day's journey from Mojian Mountain, if we had made a detour to suppress the bandits at that time, maybe we have succeeded in suppressing the bandits by now, but now not only has it been delayed for five days, but it will take three to four days to return to Taizhou, and the time really left for us to suppress the bandits is no more than two days at most, what do you want? ”

When he said this, Zhao Gu found that many recruits were looking at this side, obviously attracted by General Wang's loud cheers, and General Wang saw that the recruits were gradually surrounding him, and his face sneered even more.

General Wang's expression suddenly changed, and he turned into an aggrieved look, and continued to say loudly: "Yes, Zhao joined the army, you are right, it is my fault that I forgot that there is such a thing as a military order, but haven't I already apologized?" What do you mean by still being here and not forgiving, didn't you see the military order saying that if we can't exterminate the bandits on time, everyone will be implicated? Let's hurry up and stop worrying about these little things. ”

"A trifle?" As soon as Zhao Gu rolled his eyes, he guessed what General Wang was thinking, which was nothing more than showing his grievances to the recruits, so that everyone thought that Zhao Gu was bullying him, so that he could stand on the moral high ground.

If it is not as expected by Zhao Gu, General Wang will next show the military order to all the recruits, so that everyone knows the will of the imperial court, and then he will accuse Zhao Gu of wasting everyone's time and encourage everyone to isolate Zhao Gu.

Next, General Wang will loudly admit that he forgot about the military order because he was busy pacifying the bandits in Mojian Mountain, and promised that he would succeed in suppressing the bandits within the time specified in the military order, in order to win the love of the recruits.

If it really comes to that time, General Wang will definitely become a good general who knows his mistakes in the eyes of the recruits, and Zhao Gu will become a wicked person who is unforgiving and ignorant of the general situation.

It seems that this General Wang not only found a good reason, but also made a good calculation!

Sure enough, as soon as General Wang's words fell, he gave the general order to the recruits, and soon, this military order spread throughout the army.

Qianxin, who was named and suppressed bandits, all turned pale when they heard the news, they were no longer fledgling recruits, and no one thought that they would be able to exterminate the bandits in Tiger Mountain within two days.

All of a sudden, the 1,000 recruits who were named and suppressed all showed sad faces, and the faces of the other 4,000 recruits were not good-looking, after all, if they did not complete the military order, their good brothers would be dealt with by military law.

Because the Great Song Dynasty learned from the experience of the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the management of generals and soldiers was very strict, if they really could not complete the task on time, what awaited them would be very severe punishment, and it was even likely that they would be imprisoned.

The recruits were so excited that they would be able to go home and reunite with their families, but when they thought of the punishment they were about to face, none of them said anything.
