Chapter 13 On time

Liu Yong's words seem to give these soldiers two ways to surrender on the surface, but in fact, there is only one way. What is the use of www.biquge.info going back in this war-torn world, isn't it because your home was destroyed and you can't survive that you came out to be a thief? Nowadays, the fields in many places are still barren, and even if they can grow crops, who can guarantee how much they will get after the fall? Instead of being a robber again, it is better to be a soldier and eat food. Sure enough, after some discussion, the captives expressed their intention to stay. Although Liu Yong, Dong Xi and others had expected that most of them would stay, they did not expect that no one would leave, but it was a bit surprising, and in the last count, there were nearly 400 people.

In line with the principle that no suspicious people are used, and no suspicion is used, Liu Yong asked the captives to elect Li Gui and several other people who are more convincing to the public as the commander. When those people saw that they were not not convicted but were also reused, they were all grateful and thanked them.

The official position is a headache, and it has to be appointed by the imperial court, and it seems that there is another way. Liu Yong convened a meeting of Dong Xi, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and the five commanders selected from among the captives to put forward his own ideas.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is impossible to appoint military positions according to the imperial court. But in order to upload and issue military orders, it is necessary to have a position. My plan is that every 12 men should be divided into a squad, three squads should be a company, three companies should be a battalion, and three battalions should be a regiment, with one principal and one deputy at each level, and the rest of the men would form a special service company. I am the regimental commander and am in charge of the special service company; Lieutenant Dong is the deputy regiment commander and commander of the first battalion; Zhou Cang is the commander of the second battalion, Pei Yuanshao is the commander of the third battalion, and the five of you are the deputy battalion commander of each battalion, the company commander and the deputy company commander of the special service company, what do you think? ”

Since the commanders had spoken like this, and there was no other better way, everyone obeyed and accepted Liu Yong's official position in the modern army. Liu Yong issued another order: "You are all tired today, and we will deploy the personnel of each department tomorrow." You still go back to your headquarters, gather your brothers, and lead your men to gather at the edge of the woods outside the eastern city before midnight tomorrow. Li Gui, you are the commander, and you will be on time tomorrow. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be delayed, or military law will be imposed. Everyone clasped their fists and replied in unison: "Order." Those soldiers were even more delighted and moved to see Liu Yong appoint his accomplices as commanders.

"This place is too narrow, after a while, Brother Dong and the officials and catchers will go home to rest, and Brother Zhou will take your subordinates to the inn to rest. The brothers who joined today are here, do you understand? "Got it!"

At this time, the sky was about to be dark, thinking that it was too cold at night and the bedding was not enough, Liu Yong asked people to build a few fires on the site, and sent people to each house to buy straw and wheat straw and spread it underground. Liu Yong knew that the most important task at this time was to gather the hearts of the army, so he said: "Everyone, if we don't fight, we don't know each other, and we will be brothers in the future." In a hurry today, you will spend the night. As your commander, eat and sleep with you tonight. Come on, let's eat! Some subordinates had already served food, but Liu Yong signaled to the army to use it first, pulled Dong Xi to meet with his subordinates, and asked one by one about his name, where he was from, who else was in the family, what difficulties he had, and so on.

Seeing that Liu Yong and Dong Xi had been busy before and after, the rice had not been eaten or wet, but they were easy-going, greeting, and caring.

The two walked around, Dong Xi pulled Liu Yong aside, and said while eating: "Leader, your actions can gather everyone's hearts." Since ancient times, the army has been governed by virtue and prestige, and now virtue has become, is it prestige? If the foolish brother has a plan, he will see immediate results. ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Deputy Head Dong wants to do a bitter plan? ”

Dong Xi was very surprised, and sighed: "No wonder the county magistrate and the sergeants respect you, Dong Mou is exactly what he meant." ”

Liu Yong said: "I also had this intention, but I was embarrassed to bring it up. Mean, who wants to be hit by that big board? ”

Dong Xi said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can gather the hearts of the army as soon as possible, it is worth getting a little injured." Wang and Chen are my apprentices, and they are extremely loyal to me, and I will explain them to them in the evening. ”

Liu Yong muttered: "However, the sergeant made a mistake, and the commander could not escape the blame, and the time came to ......."

Dong Xi waved his hand and said: "Dong has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and his skin is thick and his flesh is thick, so it doesn't matter. Besides......" said and lowered his voice: "Mr. Hua has medicine for treating trauma, which has a miraculous effect on hemostasis and analgesia, so the head of the regiment doesn't have to worry." ”

Liu Yong was surprised and moved in his heart, and took Dong Xi's hand and said, "Little brother, thank you Brother Dong." ”

Dong Xi smiled: "It's okay. It feels really kind to hear you call me Brother Dong. ”

Liu Yong said: "Actually, it should have been like this a long time ago, you are Yun'er's eldest brother, and of course my eldest brother." In the future, when there is no one else, I will call you Brother Dong, and you will call me Brother Liu, is this good? ”

"That's the best." Dong Xi smiled and said, "Let's take a look at those wounded soldiers in a while." ”

At this time, Hua Tuo came over and said: "All the injured have been diagnosed and treated, and a few minor injuries can be recuperated for three or two days, and the two seriously injured ones, although they have no worries about their lives, they have to rest for a month to recover." ”

Liu Yong said: "Thank you, sir." Mr. Hua, please come to the camp tomorrow and ask for advice on what to do. Suddenly, he saw Dong Yun next to him, and asked again: "Yun'er, why are you here too?" ”

"I'll help Mr. Hua carry the medicine box, help."

"I see, Miss Yun is here to see your big brother Liu, can I help by the way?" Zhou Cang teased for a while, and the leaders laughed with him. Dong Yun took a sip, her pretty face flushed.

Zhou Cang smiled: "I think Miss Yun'er and Brother Liu are quite a good match, do you say yes or no?" The others burst into laughter again. Dong Yun shouted, "Brother Zhou, you ......" and turned his head in shame and ran to the side.

Liu Yong slapped Zhou Cang's back and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. Yun'er is still young. Then he said loudly in the direction where Dong Yun ran: "Yun'er, you send Mr. Hua back to the post station, and tomorrow you will take a car to accompany Mr. Hua to the east gate." I'm not going back here today. ”

Dong Yun hurriedly agreed, lowered his head and ran over to help Hua Tuo. Before Zhou Cang could say more, Liu Yong's hand was on his shoulder, his eyes were tight, and Zhou Cang was about to blurt out the words that were about to be held back, and he couldn't stop coughing, and his face was red. The sergeants couldn't help laughing when they saw him suffocating. Liu Yong, Dong Yun and others couldn't help but laugh in their eyes.

After settling down, Liu Yong and Dong Xi slept with the soldiers on the pile of firewood and straw. After a while, there was a loud snoring all around, but Liu Yong couldn't sleep, and his mind kept thinking about what to say and do tomorrow, and what should happen in the future.

There was a huge piece of wasteland outside the east gate of Fuyi County, and there was a mound of soil next to it, which was an excellent gathering and training ground. Liu Yong, Dong Xi and others rested in prison the most, and they also came first. Liu Yong first instructed the various departments to hastily tidy up the site, and then set up a stick on the mound to watch the shadow of the sun, and then asked someone to put the wooden sticks and lying planks used for the execution on the stage, and let people be tortured in front of everyone later, which would be more deterrent.

After a while, another battalion commander and company commander came with their subordinates one after another, but Zhou Cang was nowhere to be seen.

When the hour was approaching, Liu Yong ordered the battalions to line up, and Li Gui ordered. At this moment, Zhou Cang finally came running with his subordinates, all of them were sweaty and exhausted. That week, he hurriedly asked everyone to join the ranks, but he kept scolding angrily: "Damn, there are two rabbit cubs that Lao Tzu has never found, and he almost caused Lao Tzu to misunderstand." One of his men said, "I'm afraid I didn't run away, right?" Zhou Cang rolled his eyes and said, "How can they run, their silver is still in my hands." Two kings and eight lambs, I will have to beat them to death later. ”

Li Guidao: "It's time to come. Then he started to point at the roster.

Just in the middle of the call, Dong Xi's two fast catchers and apprentices happened to arrive by mistake, and when the roll call was completed, Zhou Cang's two subordinates stumbled and ran out of breath. Liu Yong and Dong Xi peeked at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts.

Liu Yong stood on the stage, looked down, looked at the standing posture of the soldiers of the high and low quality, those crooked and oblique, looking around are the ones who have just won the battle, and those who stand straight and look focused are the ones who have lost the battle, Liu Yong is really angry and funny, it seems that it is not possible to rectify without great efforts. All the officers and soldiers also stared at Liu Yong to see how the newly appointed young official would handle the matter.

Liu Yong said loudly: "Everyone, although we used to fight with our lives, from now on we will be in the same team, we are brothers in life and death, and we are like brothers." I ask you what is the soul of an army, yes! It is the spirit and morale of the army, and only a team with a military heart and morale can have combat effectiveness and win the battle. Let me ask you again, what do we need to rely on to boost the morale and morale of the army? I tell you, in just eight words, 'there is a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and there are orders and forbidden.'" Now I invite you to see each other, who is the earliest and most neatly standing today? It is not surprising that it is the brothers who were defeated by us yesterday and who stand with us today. In the end, it came out of the regular army, and it looks different! Don't be unconvinced, if it weren't for our surprise to get rid of Yan Baihu and his subordinate leaders first, which caused them to be in turmoil, do you really think that with our little strength, we can really beat them? Wrong! If we go head-to-head, we will lose! The soldiers below were thrilled when they heard this, and they couldn't help but clap their hands.

Liu Yong said again: "Since you said that you want to reward and punish clearly, let's talk about rewards first, Li Gui and others have led the troops well, and each of his subordinates will be rewarded with two taels of silver." "In the final analysis, it is to give some salaries to those soldiers in disguise, so as not to make the gap too large and affect the unity of the team. You must know that Yan Baihu has been looting for half a lifetime, and although he has obtained a lot, most of his property has been put into the private pockets of himself and his subordinates, and the average soldier has very little, so these soldiers were overjoyed when they heard Liu Yong's words, and they applauded thunderously and loudly.

Liu Yong waited for a slightly quieter voice and said, "Let's talk about punishment next." Yesterday I issued an order to be on time, otherwise military justice will be imposed. But now there are still people who make mistakes. Most of you are from the military camp, and it is a capital offense to know that you are wrong. I read that you are the first offenders, and it is an opportunity to use people, and each person is heavily responsible for 20 military sticks, and the leader is responsible for 30 military sticks for poor supervision. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Cang jumped up and shouted: "Don't accept it, Lao Tzu doesn't accept it." ”

Liu Yong said: "Where is Camp Chief Zhou dissatisfied? ”

Zhou Cang said: "Last night, Lao Tzu gave a good explanation to the rabbit cubs, and they gathered at the right time." He looked at his two subordinates and roared angrily: "You two bastards, where did you die?" ”

The two of them trembled and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't you receive some silver bounty yesterday?" In the evening, the two of us went to the hotel to eat and drink, and when we were happy, we called the store to eat and drink together, but I didn't know that I drank too much and forgot the time. ”

The soldiers laughed for a while, Zhou Cang was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked at the two, and the other battalion commanders hurriedly grabbed them.

Liu Yong looked at it coldly and said, "As a commander, Camp Chief Zhou should also punish you for the crime of ineffective supervision, can you be convinced?" ”

Zhou Cang still said stiffly: "I don't accept it." I also sent someone to find it, and besides, why should Lao Tzu be beaten with ten more sticks. ”

This scene disrupted the plan that Liu Yong and Dong Xi had originally discussed, Dong Xi gave Liu Yong a look, Liu Yong nodded slightly, thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "That's good." He raised his eyes and looked at the sergeants, and said in a loud voice: "Liu Yong, as the chief officer, is not effective in commanding his subordinates, and he is responsible for twenty years. Camp Commander Zhou, are you convinced? ”
