Chapter 143: Ho Tai (2)
Facts have proved that Feng Baoqun's worries were not in vain, and the "chaos" he said to Li Yongzhong in the evening happened that night within two hours. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the evening, two battalions of nearly 2,000 Ming troops left the main road a little and chose a leeward recess as a campsite. Not far from here is a masson pine, a shank-deep stream that winds its way through the recess. Because the Xianzi camp does not trust the Xiangzi camp, in order to prevent accidents, they simply live outside by themselves, so as to be more vigilant. Since the Xianzi Camp is so knowledgeable, the Xiangzi Camp is of course happy and relaxed, and laughs at the safer inner side of the mountain recess, which is just upstream of the stream.
At the beginning of the matter, it was just a member of the Xianzi Battalion who went upstream to fetch water, but was brutally driven back by the people of the Xiangzi Battalion. A chief went to theorize, and an open-chested soldier on the opposite side rolled his eyes and glanced at the chief slantedly, and Jiao'er Lang replied: "Do you have water under your head!" The officials are still waiting for us to boil water, you people, the water is muddy! How can the officials wait! ”
Speaking from the heart, although it was a little reluctant, what the soldier said was not unreasonable. Shi Chang choked him for a moment, so he had to ease his tone and try to discuss with the other party: "Brother, there are pebbles underneath, and there is no such thing as sand. However, the water near our camp was full of soil and sand, and there were many water plants, so I couldn't drink it. This is a water inlet, if you are worried about the obstruction, let's fetch water a little farther away," Speaking of this, the elder was angry, and he couldn't hold back a sentence: "Besides, could it be that the name of the Xiangzi Battalion is written in this water?!" Xiangzi camp can be used, and the word camp can't be used!? ”
Most of the soldiers of the Xiangzi battalion were still watching the excitement with a playful face, but when they heard what the chief said, they all changed color at once, and some people jumped out and shouted in a sharp voice: "This water has passed on grandpa's territory, and that is grandpa's water!" Grandpa doesn't tell your grandchildren to drink it, so the grandchildren have to drink horse urine honestly! Brothers, let's go! Kill these beasts in the Manifest Word Camp! ”
At that moment, more than a dozen people rushed up from behind, and the soldiers of the Xianzi battalion were caught off guard and suffered a big loss! When they came out to fetch water, they even took off their armor, so they wore a military uniform, and held some gourds and bamboo tubes in their hands. The other party has a short hardwood stick with the thickness of an arm, dancing vigorously, with a little conscience, and he lets go of the thighs and backs and other places, and there are those who have a black heart, do not pick up the place, and hit the head and brain, and a few sticks will beat a man five or six feet tall to the point of silence!
The location here is slightly off, the twenty or so people are entangled and fighting, from time to time there are people or face full of blood or silently fall to the ground, shouting and roaring mixed with wailing and moaning, Nashi Chang saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to run back to the camp to call people, but was stopped by the people of the Xiangzi battalion, because he was different after all, the soldier did not dare to start, and simply dragged it to the side and beat him unconscious.
This fight came and went as fast as it came. The beaters were close to the camp, and after a while, they all withdrew their hands and went back, and the soldiers of the Xianzi battalion staggered to their feet with each other's feet, and seven or eight people had bruised faces, and several of them had bruises on their exposed skin, and they did not forget to clean up the pile of gourds that had turned into debris, and a short soldier asked in a dumb voice: "What do we say when we go back?" ”
Shi Chang asked the other party to hit him with a stick on his head, but he didn't die, and he didn't swell up a huge swollen bag, and he felt panicked when he touched it. He hissed and inhaled the cold air, stood up shaking his hands and feet with the support of others, listened to the questions from his subordinates, and immediately gritted his teeth with hatred: "I can't swallow this breath!" Wait, let's go back to the camp and talk to the team officer about it!" ”
As soon as Li Yongzhong took off the heavy fish scales on the outside and waist-length armor - this was still rewarded by Hou Liangzhu during the last big reading - there was only a sweaty cyan troll on his body, when he saw Zhou Qian slamming his head into the tent curtain and striding in, the soldiers who were originally guarding the door followed nervously behind with a bitter face, and when he saw Li Yongzhong, he hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and saluted: "Team officer!" Team Officer Zhou was in a hurry to find you, but he didn't stop him......"
"You go out first." Li Yongzhong waved his hand gently to stop the words of the pro-soldier, and watched the pro-soldier go out of the tent, only then turned to Zhou Qian, who had been holding his breath and did not make a sound, and suddenly frowned--the hot-tempered team officer's face was red, his jaw bulged and he gritted his teeth, his two red eyes seemed to be dripping blood, and his eyebrows were twisted together like a knot! He clasped his hands tightly together, and when he saw Li Yongzhong looking at him, he didn't salute, but said word by word: "I won't slaughter those rabbit cubs today, I, Zhou Qian, am a dog. Mother. Raised! ”
That's a good thing to say, for no reason, headless and brainless. Li Yongzhong bent down and picked up a handful of horses, took a gourd and poured him a bowl of water, and said concisely: "Sit." Look at your sweat, drink saliva first! Seeing that he didn't move, he scolded again: "What can the effort of drinking saliva delay you do?" ”
Zhou Qianqing sat down reluctantly, picked up the bowl and drank the water in two sips, then threw the bowl on the small pestle, and the tea bowl was planted on the spot and spun around, almost falling to the ground. Li Yongzhong stretched out his hand and held it down, sat down in front of him, and asked him in a deep voice, "What's going on?" Which are you going to kill? ”
"I'm going to kill the sluts of the Xiangzi Camp!" The words popped out of Zhou Qian's mouth one by one, and when they landed on the steel plate, they could smash a lot of holes! He clasped his knees with both hands, looked at Li Yongzhong with his eyes stunned, and his barely suppressed voice was full of anger, showing extreme anger: "Mr. Qian! You saved my life twice, although I am reckless, but I am not confused, this revenge, I will be avenged! It has nothing to do with anyone, I will say a word to Mr. Qian, but you can't stop me! ”
"I don't even know what is going on, so what am I trying to stop you from doing?" Li Yongzhong asked rhetorically, and after listening to Zhou Qian's murderous words, he didn't move a single eyebrow, and only said lightly: "If you want to kill, you can." It's just that you always have to say a convincing reason to come out, there is no reason at all, and you don't have to tell people to say that Zhou Qian of the Xianzi Camp is a demon who kills people without blinking! ”
"Good!" With a roar, Zhou Qian finished telling his subordinates what happened to him without stopping, and at the end he was still angry, and his voice became louder and louder, as if thunder was falling: "Mr. Qian!" What's wrong with my subordinates?! What's wrong with the soldiers!? But if you want to get some water, you can tell the beasts of the Xiangzi camp to fight to the death! When the medical officer looked at it, he only said that a few bones were cracked, and one leg bone was broken! You can't go far! Recuperate! Now that the army is on the march, where can I go to recuperate? Are they going to be thrown in this hellish place where there is no shop in front of the village and no shop in the back?! Or is it that the Xiangzi Battalion is so arrogant, this is looking at us and bullying us! ”
"Your subordinates are also at fault." In Zhou Qian's sentence, Li Yongzhong interjected abruptly.
"What do you say?" Zhou Qian jumped up from the maza, unable to believe it, his two eyes stared at Li Yongzhong in disbelief, his nose fluttered, and his mouth was snorting and panting, as if he was afraid that Li Yongzhong would not hear clearly, and said again: "What did you say!?" ”
"Those who are soldiers, walking outside, except for our own house, there are suspicious people everywhere, and this is still the territory of barbarians! Anyway, bring your equipment with you, too! Li Yongzhongyun finished speaking lightly, and without looking at Zhou Qian, who was sluggish, he stretched out his hand and hung the Yanling waist knife on the side of the couch on his body, stood up and shouted at the outside of the tent: "Qin Yong!" ”
Listening to the sound of boots, the soldiers opened the curtain and strode in, saluted Li Yongzhong with a fist, and said loudly: "The subordinates are here!" ”
"Go, call the officers, and then call the whole battalion - all draped!" Li Yongzhong tightened the cowhide bracers on his wrists and smiled coldly: "The comrades of the Xiangzi Battalion are in good spirits, and they have to wrestle and juggle so late, we might as well take the brothers to the meeting to see how neat the brothers of the Xiangzi Camp are!" ”
It was originally a matter in my own team, but in the blink of an eye, it will become a major event involving more than 1,000 people! Even if he is as bold as Zhou Qian, he can't help but feel his scalp tingle! He was stunned for a while, and when he saw that Qin Yong answered yes neatly, he immediately turned around and walked out. In this hot weather, he shivered, and before he could think about it, he quickly grabbed Qin Yong and hurriedly spoke: "Brother Qin, don't be busy first, wait for me to say a few words to Mr. Qian." He turned to Li Yongzhong again, took a breath, suppressed the heartbeat that was about to pop out of his throat, and said solemnly: "Mr. Qian is willing to stand up for his brothers, and I am grateful to Zhou Qian!" But after all, this is my own team's business, and I can't pull the whole battalion! Even Mr. Qian, he just didn't know about it! Otherwise, there will be trouble, and the military justice will be unforgivable in the future! ”
"Now, I am the president of the Xianzi Battalion! If something happens to someone on your team, and you still know how to stand up for them, can I pretend that I don't know anything and just watch and keep silent!? What will the soldiers think of me in the future? How else can I lead the troops!? It never makes sense like this! Li Yongzhong's expression was calm, he only put the eight-petal hat helmet on his head, pulled the tie and tied it, and glared at Qin Yong: "What are you still doing here!?" My words are on deaf ears!? ”
Qin Yong hurriedly shook off Zhou Qian, rushed out without looking back, and it didn't take long to hear that the originally quiet outside was like hot oil entering water, and it became lively! The rumbling sound of running, the sound of passwords one after another, and the tooth-aching grinding sound of armor and weapons are mixed together, and it makes people tense their nerves!
At this time, Li Yongzhong's face showed a little cold and cold, looking at Zhou Qian, who was at a loss but faintly excited, nodded and said, "Team Officer Zhou, you are doing well today!" Something happened to the people in the team, but they didn't immediately think about revenge, they came to me first! You remember, as long as you don't do it privately, I will make up for you the big hole! Even if it's just temporary, but being a monk for a day will hit the clock for a day! In this camp, if you lose a needle, it's all my business! ”
The soldiers of the Xianzi Battalion, who had just rested, were urgently called, and after they were fully armed, they saw their respective officers coming over with dark faces, whispering a few words to the commanders, and then the soldiers in a daze received an order to defend the camp of the Xiangzi Battalion. Many people suddenly showed joy, and many people immediately hesitated - although it is true that they hate Xiangzi Camp, but in any case, it is not to the point of infighting!
Not only did the soldiers who didn't know the inside story think so, but Feng Baoqun and a few other veteran officers who knew the reason also thought so. A team officer named Liu Gui, who had a good relationship with Feng Bao on weekdays, whispered to him: "Although Mr. Qian has good intentions, it is too reckless!" Now the fault lies with them, if Mr. Qian really wants to surround people, we will not occupy any reason! This can't be done! ”
Liu Gui pulled Feng Baoqun and said to him in an almost angry bass: "Mr. Qian is young and vigorous, and he is dedicated to the general mind of the brother's hot charcoal, I am afraid that he will not be persuaded now, it is better for us to treat this matter as if we don't know about it, hold on to the soldiers, wait for a while and make trouble, and then go to solve the siege!" ”
Feng Baoqun narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "You mean, we won't get involved in the troubled waters?" ”
Liu Gui has been friends with him for many years, and he can't see that Feng Baoqun's face is calm, but he has a different idea in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I mean!" That's not what it means! He paused, and then said, "But now we are on the march after all!" It's because of the heavy responsibility of military orders, and the situation of Bai Sasuo is unknown, so we are going to make trouble with our own people now!? Do you want to go to war!? ”
His tone became more and more urgent and sincere: "Brother Feng! Mr. Qian is willing to stand up for our subordinates, so we have to think about him even more! He is young now, and he has a great future, if this incident happens, the guilt is not small! We are all people promoted by thousands of households, can we watch Mr. Li Qian destroy his future now!? ”
"You're right." Feng Baoqun's heart was certain, and the tension in his voice that he hadn't even noticed was relaxed, and he shook his head and sighed, and said heavily: "Brother Liu, we have a heavy responsibility, you are right, but it is this military order that cannot help but do this!" I can't swallow this breath! This is not a trivial matter, the soldiers don't know now, and they won't know it later?! What will they think!? Our people are called bullying, but Shangguan doesn't say a word! With such a mind, you can still fight!? ”
Liu Gui was stunned, and before he could speak, he heard Feng Baoqun say again: "This is also what we figured out." Indeed, let's calm down the soldiers now, and come back to the army to theorize, but first, I don't know when it is, and second, who doesn't know, Hou Yonggui is the nephew of the military family? Who dares to say that Shangguan will definitely deal with it impartially? Three to ......" His always smiling face rarely showed some unbearable color, and every word was hammered on Liu Gui's heart: "We are soldiers and generals, on the battlefield, who knows how long we can live?" If those soldiers are unfortunate, will they not be willing to let people die? (To be continued.) )
