Chapter XXVIII
Because it is related to the morale and morale of the army, Wu Ming will attend the funeral of the soldiers who died this time, no matter what, he doesn't want the prestige he has just established in the army to make the soldiers say, "This general has just won a battle." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" was defeated.
And as a bloody man, Wu Ming still has a lot of friendship in the army, he is used to seeing him parting from life and death, and he is kind to the people around him.
It is not easy to really find two people who are compatible in the vast sea of people, and the same is true in the army, and the brothers in the army may live or die one day, and that friendship can only be separated by yin and yang, so no matter what aspect it is, Wu Ming must go to this burial.
There are many soldiers, and the work is naturally neat, and the pit of more than 100 people is done in one hour, and after the placement, Wu Ming personally took Zhang Meng, Ni Tao and other generals to salute the dead and pay silent tribute.
After everything was settled, before returning to the city, Wu Ming whispered to Ni Tao: "Order some soldiers to temporarily guard this place in case of accidents, and enter the city with the people before dark!" ”
……
Walking outside the tall city gate again, Wu Ming looked at the new scars on the wall at this moment, and felt an inexplicable sigh in his heart.
Stepping on the somewhat uneven bluestone floor tiles, walking through the downtown where some vitality had recovered, the City Lord's Mansion soon appeared in front of Wu Ming.
Pushing open the vermilion door, as soon as he raised his leg and stepped into the threshold of the study, Wu Ming asked lightly: "Have the things arranged in the past few days been going well?" ”
Zhang Meng, who was following behind, pursed his lips and replied with a somewhat strange expression: "It's still ...... It's going well, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that some of the soldiers have a lot of words about entering the fields and harvesting! Although they are all doing it, they are inevitably a little strange in their hearts. ”
With a faint smile, Wu Ming also guessed about this ending, after all, when he went to Daliang, some people had already expressed their unwillingness to do the work in the fields.
But you can't delay things because of these people's complaints, if anyone in this stall has a rigid brain, he won't turn around, and Wu Ming doesn't mind making up for his brain. In extraordinary times, sometimes extraordinary means are not needed, of course, it is necessary to convince people with virtue.
"Well, we'll talk about that later." Responding lightly, Wu Ming asked casually: "But there are others, is there a problem with the training of recruits?" ”
"There's no problem with this, after all, the defenders in this city are not recruits after a battle, although they are still a little poor in physical fitness, but they all know that hard work is not a big problem."
"Well, but the current training is far from enough, starting tomorrow morning, I will take everyone out of the city for a run, the armor and equipment must be complete, and no one can stop without a ten-mile journey. Now is an eventful time, let everyone be vigilant in their hearts, and nothing should be sloppy. While looking at the bamboo slips sent in the past few days on the wooden table, Wu Ming responded softly.
The ten-mile journey is nothing for people who have been training for a long time, but this seemingly simple thing in Wu Ming's heart also made Zhang Meng slightly surprised. It is said that the soldiers trained by General Wu Qi could march 100 miles in half a day, which was twice as high as that of ordinary soldiers.
And in terms of equipment, Wu Qi trained Wei Wushu to hold a spear in his hand, carry 20 long arrows and an iron-tired hard bow, and carry three days of military food at the same time, with a total weight of about 50 catties. Ordinary soldiers do not have such complete equipment at all, so the requirements for ten miles in the early morning are not too high.
Sensing that Wu Ming was looking at him sideways, Zhang Meng was shocked in his heart, and bowed his hand slightly, "The last general will take the order." ”
"Well," rolling the bamboo slips into a bundle in his hand and putting them back in their original positions, Wu Ming got up and walked straight to Zhang Meng, and said softly but with great certainty: "Not only soldiers, all generals in the army must first meet this standard, including me, tell the soldiers that there are no generals and soldiers on the field of the competition, only heroes who live and die together, if anyone is not satisfied, they can directly find me to compete, if I lose, I will be punished." ”
After a pause, he stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Meng's shoulder, Wu Ming continued: "I know that this is still a big difficulty for the soldiers at the moment, but this must be overcome. ”
"Yes." Zhang Meng just lowered his head and listened silently, without a trace of superfluous words.
"Where was that Wang Zhong just now?" Turning his voice, Wu Ming asked softly.
Wang Zhong, also known as the one-armed man, returned with Wu Ming after burying his brother. It's just that it was temporarily put aside, after all, there are things that can be said in the army, and some things that still can't be said.
"I'm waiting in a remote room in the house."
"Go and call him!"
"Yes." Zhang Meng was about to leave, but just as he turned around, Wu Ming suddenly stopped him again.
"Forget it, I'll go find him, there is a topographic map of my Great Wei in the army, take a pair and use it later." While commanding, Wu Ming had already pushed open the door and hurriedly walked out.
There was not much time, so Wu Ming took Wang Zhong to the study. Zhang Meng, who had prepared the map one step earlier, had already spread the map on the table in the study, "General, do you think this one is feasible?" This is already the most standard set of terrain, and the cities on it are also clearly marked. ”
Wu Ming strode to the map, only to see the mountains, rivers, lakes, cities, etc. at a glance, although the color is single, but the technique of the painter is still okay, "That's it." ”
With a faint response, Wu Ming began to search the map with his memory of this area, and after a while, his eyes finally fell on a mountainous area three hundred miles south of Anyi, the old capital of Wei.
Looking at the past, the words "God Five Peaks" are neatly written here. That's right, Wu Ming is looking for here.
I saw him excitedly pointing to the mountain peak and turning to Zhang Meng and asking, "Has anyone ever lived in the mountain here?" ”
"No," Zhang Meng is just a fierce general, who has been guarding Hexi for many years, but he has been to many places, but the mountain is not far from the old capital Anyi, "The last general has been to Anyi, the peaks here are steep, there are clouds and mist all the year round, and there is no way to climb the mountain, only some farmers often go up to chop wood and collect medicine, and no one lives for a long time." ”
"Haha, that's good, that's good." Wu Ming chuckled and nodded.
"General, this is?" Staring at Wu Ming who was excited, Zhang Meng was full of puzzlement, what can he do so happily in the barren mountains and mountains?
"Haha, you'll know this then." Ignoring Zhang Meng's doubts, Wu Ming turned to Wang Zhong, who was speechless, and asked, "If you are disabled, I am afraid that it will have an impact if you live in the deep mountains, and if you smelt iron in this mountain, are you willing to go?" ”
"On the battlefield, the swords and soldiers are not afraid to see each other, not to mention the humidity in this mountain, besides, iron smelting is to deal with the furnace, why not go!"
