Chapter Seventy-One: The Dawn Is a Mess Here
At sunset, the night sky was still full of stars.
A low drum beat broke the silence of the night.
Great Qin Military Law: Gather when you hear the drums.
The quiet barracks were in a commotion, and the soldiers who had been awakened from their sleep were angry and cursed. But almost no one got up, most of them put the quilt on their heads, and continued to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hundreds of black-clothed men stood quietly around the school yard with torches in their hands.
There are four iron tripods on the stage, on which are hung braziers with butter, and the braziers are blazing.
Huangfu Zhanwen and Qin Lei, who were dressed in military uniforms, stood on the stage with gloomy faces. There was still a quarter of an hour to go, and there were only a few teams of people in the field, and it was almost impossible to complete the assembly on time.
Huangfu Zhanwen felt that he should say something, so he stubbornly whispered to Qin Lei: "Your Highness is angry, the first time you assemble, the sergeants may not be used to it. Tomorrow it won't be like that. ”
Qin Lei glanced at him and said softly, "General Huangfu, if the enemy attacks at night, will you wait for us to get up at midnight and come back?" ”
Huangfu Zhanwen's face was suffocated when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "This is the hinterland of Great Qin, where is there any enemy." If you go to war, you won't be able to do it. It won't be so. ”
Qin Lei snorted: "Usually loose and loose, do you still expect them to go to the battlefield?" Wait for the camp to be bombed. ”
Seeing that Huangfu Zhanwen's expression was unconvinced, he turned to face him and said solemnly: "Do you know how long it took for the state army with the lowest combat effectiveness of the Qi State to return to normal after being attacked in Yinshi?" ”
Huangfu Zhanwen was silent, he knew that Qin Lei said this, it must have left a deep impression on him.
"Less than twenty breaths!" Qin Lei almost roared. Pointing to the loose soldiers in the field, he shouted, "Look at our Great Qin army, which is known as the number one in the world. Even if I didn't let you go back yesterday, but as soon as the time came, the drums were beaten, and at this time it was already a three-way drum. Count how many people came! ”
Huangfu Zhanwen knelt down on his knees with a sad face, kowtowed, and said: "His Majesty Zhanwen is not strict, let His Highness punish him." ”
Qin Lei's tone slowed down: "I know that you are the prince's guard, and you only go out of the honor guard on weekdays, and there is no chance to fight at all. As a general, he watches others fight and make meritorious contributions, but he has no share of his own. I couldn't help but be discouraged and lazy, because I was loosening the restraint on the sergeant. This is understandable. ”
Huangfu Zhanwen was poked by him in pain, and hissed: "Your Highness! The last general is confused! His head was buried deep in his arms, and his shoulders twitched slightly.
This scene was seen by the soldiers below, and they were naturally uneasy in their hearts. watched every move on the stage silently, for fear that some bad luck would befall him.
Qin Lei helped him up, patted the soil on his body for him, and said gently: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I want to train a strong army to come out, it must not be practiced for decoration." There will be no place for generals. It's up to you to see if you have that ambition. ”
Huangfu Zhanwen wiped his eyes vigorously with his cuffs, and said with a hideous expression: "Since being expelled from the Imperial Forest Army, the last general has dreamed of returning to the battlefield countless times, if His Royal Highness can give the villain this opportunity." Even if you sell this life to Your Highness, why not! ”
Qin Lei smiled: "You can give me your trust, it's better to save your life and enjoy this world of flowers." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen was just about to reply, when the fourth drum sounded, and the hour arrived at three o'clock.
Qin Lei waved his hand, and Zhong Likan at the door led a team of black-clothed men to block the gate. Shut out the sergeants who were going in one after another.
Qin Lei nodded to Huangfu Zhanwen, he took a step forward and ordered loudly: "Whole!" ”
The sergeant in the field leaned in front of him, a group of twenty people, a total of ten columns and seven.
Huangfu Shengwen saluted Qin Lei with a pale face: "Your Highness, the crown prince's guard has five thousand people, and two hundred and seven people have been assembled on time. Please punish. Just about to kneel, Qin Lei shook his head and stopped.
Qin Lei stepped forward, stood side by side with Huangfu Zhanwen, and said aloud to the two hundred and seven people in the empty school field: "I am very touched by Your Highness who you greeted yesterday. Today, I was disturbed by His Royal Highness's good dream, do you have a grudge in your heart? ”
At this time, the guy who doesn't open his eyes doesn't dare to squeak. So no one responded to Qin Lei.
He coughed a little slightly, thinking of the group of bold team members in the mountains of Qi Kingdom. Qin Lei laughed dryly, pointed to a tall and sturdy soldier in the front row and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The soldier shouted, "If you go back to Your Highness, I will call Xu Shishi." ”
Qin Lei didn't explore the origin of his name, and asked directly: "Xu Shishi, I'm here to ask you, why aren't you as late as others?" ”
Xu Shi stood there motionless and replied, "Because Ma Liuzi told us to get up, he has more heart than us." We all listened to him. ”
Qin Lei was surprised: "So you people are all called by Ma Liu?" ”、
Everyone nodded in unison.
Qin Lei said with interest: "Ma Liuzi came out of the queue and stood in front. ”
Out of the ranks came a sergeant with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, not tall, but full of cleverness. Qin Leixin said, this name is too good, isn't 'Ma Liu' a monkey. asked with a straight face: "Ma Liu, what did you think at the time?" ”
Ma Liuzi scratched his head and said with a smile: "The little one doesn't dare to say it." ”
Qin Lei said with a straight face: "Forgive you for your innocence." Let's talk about it. ”
Ma Liuzi said hehehe: "If you go back to Your Highness, the drama will stage the general's first handsome seal, and there will be a drum beat, and those who don't arrive on time will be clicked." The villain thought that he couldn't be clicked, so he called out to the brothers to come together. ”
When Qin Lei heard this, he scolded with a smile: "You kid is also a general? According to you, His Highness has to click the more than 4,000 that have not arrived? ”、
Ma Liuzi hurriedly argued: "No, no, the villain just doesn't want to be clicked, but he doesn't mean to curse his comrades." ”
Qin Lei deliberately straightened his face and said, "Have you ever thought about whether you will attract jealousy if you take yourself out?" ”
Ma Liuzi smiled bitterly: "I did think about it." Then the monkey's face was straight, and he said sharply: "The villain is not literate, but he also understands that evil cannot prevail over good, and he can't be afraid of this, so he will not abide by military discipline!" ”
Qin Lei clapped his hands and said, "What a good evil is invincible, right!" Ma Liu, you are right, do better. As long as you think it is right, you must stick to it, and don't care what others do. Turning his head to Huangfu Zhanwen, who looked a little slower, he smiled and said, "General Huangfu, you are a very good sergeant." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen smiled and nodded, and echoed: "It really makes the last general embarrassed. ”
Qin Lei groaned and whispered to Huangfu Zhanwen: "I really didn't expect it to be like this today, originally I wanted to directly select it." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen smiled bitterly in his heart, and could only admit that he was unlucky.
Qin Lei continued: "In this way, we must first rectify military discipline. ”
Huangfu Zhanwen nodded and clenched his fists and said, "It's all up to His Highness's orders." ”
Qin Lei thought for a while and said softly: "I have three suggestions, first, reward Ma Liu and the others heavily, and the reward should be heavy." Second, punish all non-commissioned officers who did not come, but not too severely. Third, from now on, queue training will be carried out. Tentatively for one month. ”
Huangfu Zhanwen thought about it, and wanted to say something but hesitated to say it. Qin Lei knew that he was scared of himself. He laughed quietly: "If you want to say it, just say it, I have always been generous to my brother." Actually, I'm a good person, right, Shen Qing? The second half of the sentence was said to Shen Qing on the side.
Shen Qing nodded helplessly in agreement.
Huangfu Zhanwen secretly sighed in his heart that he was unladylike, and said with a straight face: "Your Highness's first two generals all agree, but this last one, what's the use?" ”
Qin Lei smiled in his heart, how is it useless, Lao Tzu was not trained from a little ruffian to a soldier back then. But he couldn't explain it like this, but said vaguely: "Brother Huangfu rest assured, this method is dedicated to all kinds of freedom and disobedience, and it uses quasi-spirits." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen didn't want to say anything more, nodded and said, "The last general will execute." Then he said loudly to the soldiers in the audience: "Your Highness Nian Er and others are loyal and dutiful, and Te En Er and others are each twenty taels of silver and one silk horse." There was another reward, to be promulgated later. Not thankful yet. ”
The sergeant of the Prince Guard was only three taels of silver a month, and after receiving so many awards at once, all the sergeants were overjoyed and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness Longen, thank Your Highness Longen!" ”
After Huangfu Zhanwen cheered them, he asked Qin Lei what else was going on, Qin Lei shook his head, and Huangfu Zhanwen ordered the team to disband.
When he was about to leave, Qin Lei suddenly stopped him and asked, "Brother Huangfu, what punishment do you want to give those sergeants?" ”
Huangfu Zhanwen said solemnly: "The military discipline of Great Qin, even more drums are stopped, and those who do not arrive will be killed." ”
Qin Lei looked at him with a smile, knowing that there was still something to follow.
"But since His Highness said that the punishment will be lenient, then twenty military sticks per person."
Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Huangfu, you are trying to kill us." ”
