Li Yongzhong carried the kettle to pour water into his tea bowl, and he watched as the water flowed from the spout of the pot and slowly poured into the brown clay bowl, straightening the body before it overflowed. "In the barracks, the strong are respected." The young officer took a sip from the tea bowl, as if the bitter taste had no effect on him, and thought about it and slowly spoke: "I thought that as long as my family was cautious, kind to others, and tactful, even in the army, I should have a place. β
"But those few things at the beginning of the camp," he tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile without a smile, "but suddenly made me understand that in this world, the strong are stronger, the weak are weaker, you want to be kind to others, but you have never seen the other party eyeing you, and you can't wait to pounce on you and bite you down the throat!" Eat your flesh, suck your blood, suck your bones and bedskin, and refuse to let go of the last bit of bone slag! β
The other party's eyes were shining, if you looked closely, there was a bright fire burning inside, Cao Jinliang involuntarily avoided his gaze, only to feel that his mouth was dry, swallowed hard, heard the throat gurgling swallowing, he coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said in a half-dumb voice: "Zhong Guan'er is also reckless." Can the things in the army be done only by the courage of a reckless man? β
"Of course not." Li Yongzhong said lightly, "But if you don't even have this bit of courage, how can you have great wisdom and courage?" He raised his hand to stop Cao Jinliang, who wanted to speak again and again, and said, "I know you must say that the courage of that reckless man is different from these. But in my opinion, I also feel that this world lacks some blood, and if I think too much, I will trap my hands and feet! β
Cao Jinliang sighed, shook his head and said, "Zhongguan'er, you always have a point, but I can't talk about you in these things." His face turned serious, "But the matter of the battalion officer is always important. Let's go to Baisasuo, in addition to military merits, the harvest is to collect this battalion of men and horses in our hands, if I want to say, it is more gratifying than military merits. β
"It's too early to say that." Li Yongzhong is not as optimistic as Cao Jinliang, or rather, he doesn't think that such a short time of getting along can make the soldiers of the Xianzi battalion intimate with him, he only hopes that in the next battle, the Xianzi battalion can obey the arrangement as always, and it is good to obey the command.
The two men deliberated for a while, and it was dark outside the tent. Cao Jinliang stretched his waist, waved his hand at Li Yongzhong and said: "Let's talk about this today, I'm really tired, my bones are tired and rotten these days, Zhong Guan'er, you are so good that you will be resting, this battle will start soon." β
Li Yongzhong stood up from the horse to see him off, and replied softly when he heard the words: "You don't care about me, rest by yourself first, the team will give the soldiers a holiday tomorrow, all the way from Baisasuo, it is a mountain road, and it is hard brothers." After a pause, he said again: "When it comes to war, naturally the Shangguan is in charge, which card are we counting?" You're worried a lot. β
Hearing him say this, Cao Jinliang couldn't help laughing, and nodded while laughing: "Yes, yes, yes." Lifting the curtain and walking out, Li Yongzhong saw him go away, but in a moment, the figure melted into the night.
It was almost August 15, and the heat in the air was getting thinner and thinner day by day, and it was cool in the morning and evening, and if you didn't wear one more robe, you would never be able to do it. Compared with the gradually cooler weather, the atmosphere in the Ming army camp is becoming more tense day by day. The scouts, who had always been recuperating, were initially out and about, occasionally dragging their horses with their hands tied behind their backs and covered in blood to bring back captives.
The merits of the Xianzi Battalion and the Xiangzi Battalion in Baisa are indeed outstanding enough, but they are not enough in front of the entire army. Now even the sluggish soldiers know that the decisive battle with the two of them is imminent, and the scene is by no means comparable to the small fights of one or two thousand people. Walking in the camp, there are soldiers everywhere drilling, and far away from the training ground, you can hear the sound of shouting.
Liu Zhou, a staff member of the Chinese army, held a large volume of documents, and hurriedly walked to the tent of the Chinese army's camp. The personal guy behind him hugged him more than he could! The two of them stopped and walked all the way, attracting a lot of curious eyes, and they only regarded it as unknown.
By the time he arrived at the tent, the huge sand table had been set up, and Liu Zhou commanded a few soldiers to carefully unfold the paperworkβbut it turned out to be several mapsβnot the same as the usual maps, but as if they were made of tougher sheepskin. Liu Zhou was careful, and found out the information about the barbarian in case he needed to use it.
So when Hou Liangzhu and the other officers entered the Chinese military tent, everything had been arranged. Seeing this, the military gate smiled with satisfaction, sat down on the main seat of the head for a while, and then raised his chin to the officers who were still standing, and said succinctly: "What are you doing with your crutches 2?" Don't you know how to sit down with your own Namaza? β
He is old and clear-looking, a little stiff, and ten times more serious than ordinary people. Seeing Hou Liangzhu's expression, the officers didn't dare to make a mistake, so they picked Mazha one by one and quickly sat down. Hou Liangzhu looked around, a little satisfied in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, looking at the group of officers under him, he pressed his knees and said in a deep voice: "Today, after receiving Zhu Zhitai's military order, the Tao is that the two thieves of Lu'an have set off from Shuixi and come straight to Chishui!" β
"A few days ago, the news came that the commander of the Taiwan order, Lin Zhaoding, the chief military officer, took the three forks, the deputy general Wang Guozhen marched to Luguang, and Liu Yangkun stared at Zunyi, if the official expected it, he should have succeeded now!" The excitement in his voice couldn't be hidden, and even his breathing was a little shorter, and he looked at the officers with blazing eyes, and smashed them down word by word, shocking people's hearts: "I received the news just now, the two thieves of Lu'an have left the boundary of Shuixi, and now they are coming straight to Chishui!" β
"Chishui is the gateway to Sichuan, and it must not be ignored, and now this official has issued an order! Generals! β
The officers immediately stood up, and the armor leaves made a loud noise, bowed down and clenched their fists, and shouted: "The last general!" β
"From today onwards, the whole army will be waiting for it, the men will prepare ten days of dry food, bows and arrows, medicine and other things will be distributed one by one, swords, guns and armor will not be left for a while, the medical officer will prepare enough medicine for wounds, and the roll call will be called every day, and the desertion will be strictly investigated!" Hou Liangzhu said angrily: "Now, the big war is only one step away!" Boys, they all tighten their skins for this official! β
After returning from the Chinese military camp, Chen Xianda immediately summoned the officers in the battalion, and when the people arrived, he didn't say much, and almost immediately announced the first decision: "This official is in great pain, but now the big war is approaching, so I went to tell the commander a few days ago and handed over the errand to Li Yongzhong, the officer of the D team." Chen Xianda motioned for Li Yongzhong to step forward, looked at him almost with a stern expression and shouted, "Officer Li! You did a good job when you were in Bai Sasho before, and now this official wants you to take over the burden of the Xianzi camp, do you have the courage?! β
Li Yongzhong simply saluted neatly, and replied in a deep voice: "Don't dare to have a negative trust!" β
"Good!" Chen Xianda cheered, and then pulled his son-in-law in front of him: "The military situation is urgent, and we will make up for it after the red tape festival, and now you are the official of more than 1,000 people in the Xianzi Battalion!" Even me, I'm at your disposal! I only hope that you can think of the well-being of your brothers and make another meritorious achievement! β
The handover was hasty, but no one objected. In the two battles of Bai Sasuo, Li Yongzhong has shown the basic qualities of a commander - maybe not enough, but at least for the current Xianzi battalion, he will not question this sudden but reasonable handover.
After closing the matter, Chen Xianda let out a sigh, half of the big stone in his heart was lowered, and even his knees, which had been sore and swollen, seemed to be much better for a while, and a slight smile appeared on his face, which was soon replaced by a stern and solemn look. Chen Xianda glanced around at the officer, and ordered all the points that Hou Liangzhu had said during the previous meeting, and finally his face became more and more stern, and he said loudly: "We have come all the way from Sichuan, how long have we worked hard?" How many brothers almost lost their lives!? Now it's just the last breath to make a consummation, and if anyone doesn't understand at this point, hum ......" He chuckled twice and didn't go any further.
The meeting ended quickly. On the surface, except for the hasty and simple handover of duties between Li Yongzhong and Chen Xianda, it was just a few simple orders. But everyone knows that for the Xianzi Battalion, a new era is about to begin, and many officers look at the generals of the D team with particularly complicated eyes, with envy and faint flattery. The soldiers of Team D had a rare high-profile appearance, and everyone had a smile on their faces, and there was no restraint in front of the other generals.
"One by one, they don't look like ......," Li Yongzhong muttered in a low voice. As soon as he came back from Chen Xianda's place, before he returned to Team D, the soldiers he met on the road avoided one after another, and the timid ones simply knelt on their knees - this is indeed the norm of the current officers and soldiers - for ordinary officers, it is probably a rare honor, but for Li Yongzhong, it is a nasty burden.
"Is this all because there are no bones in the legs?" He didn't say that, and the impatience on his face barely pressed back into his chest. Chen Xianda specially kept him after the meeting, and repeatedly told him that Li Yongzhong must restrain his usual stinky temper, even if he doesn't want to see anything, don't be in a hurry to get angry.
"The old man knows that you have all the means to lead the troops." Chen Xianda said to him earnestly: "But how much time have you spent on this Ding team?" At the moment, there is no such idle effort to let you take your time! Brothers may have any problems, you can only take care of it yourself at this moment, and you will figure it out in the future. β
This is not what Li Yongzhong is worried about. Chen Xianda suddenly came to this hand today, although he knew that Chen Xianda had already greeted the commander Liu Xinwu, but he still felt incredible in his heart - this is not one or two hundred people, but a whole independent battalion head, more than a thousand people! He had only been in the camp for a long time, and then he suddenly jumped into this position, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
Thinking like this in my heart, I inevitably brought it out during the action. Li Yongzhong hesitated for a moment, and the footsteps of the army who were originally about to leave the camp also stopped. He asked Chen Xianda: "Father-in-law, after all, this is a military system, according to the rules, and it has to be reported in front of the soldiers, let's talk to ourselves......
"You're too heavy-minded." Chen Xianda said disapprovingly: "You go and inquire, who is still willing to abide by the rules and regulations now?" He stared at Li Yongzhong and said word by word: "Don't think that the Xianzi battalion hanging in the southern guard is the guard's army, from the soldier to the officer, it is the old man I pull it up with one hand and one foot!" Not to mention that the army is the replacement of the father and the son! You don't need to say anything, just think about how to fight now! β
Under Hou Liangzhu's order, the Ming army quickly moved, although it was not very reluctant, but after Hou Liangzhu and Xu Chengming discussed, it was decided that the army would be divided into two routes, one was led by him, and the first line was deployed along the Yingpan Mountain, Twine Fort, Manisuo, Anqitun, Monkey Cave, and Pushi; The first route was led by Liu Kexun, the deputy envoy of the supervising army, and Deng Xi, the deputy general, who accompanied the Guizhou army. He said to his two colleagues in private: "Xu Chengming still has a few hands on the battlefield, but unfortunately the soldiers are all soft pus, and they are useless!" I don't know when I'm going to soften my waist! The two of you must hold on when the time comes, and the officers will lead the troops nearby, and they will come to the aid immediately! β
Although Deng Xi and Liu Kexun are not on good terms on weekdays, they still know the importance now. He nodded heavily at Hou Liangzhu, and said angrily: "The military gate is too worried!" Our Sichuan soldiers have always dared to fight! Qianbing has softened his bones, we haven't! If the two of them don't come, if they come, I will teach him to come and go! β
"Good! I want you to have this ambition! Hou Liangzhu praised Deng Xi, and then looked firmly at Liu Kexun, who didn't look very good, but didn't say anything, and simply arched his hand to him and said: "Don't worry, this is a big deal, and if you give up your life, you don't dare to be angry in this matter!" β
After the two got along, they really got along with a little less gunpowder. After some arrangement, Hou Liangzhu and Xu Chengming discussed the use of troops several times, the two had differences of opinion, and between the disputes, Zhu Xieyuan, who was far away and generous, sent someone to send the news: "Among the two of them, Lu Chong is old next year, incompetent, An Bangyan is young and strong, ambitious, and dustless, and refuses to put the official army in his eyes. Be sure to take the line from Chishui to Yongning! Ordered Xu Chengming to fight with the Qian soldiers, deceived him into luring him deeper, and Hou Liangzhu led the Sichuan soldiers to cut off his vitality! β
This order is timely! After reading the short lines several times, Hou Liangzhu slapped the letterhead on the table, looked at Xu Chengming and said solemnly: "Since there is an order for the Taiwan system, then the official and the Sichuan soldiers will obey the order!" Xu Junmen, this matter of luring the enemy will all be entrusted to you, and then this official will personally lead the people and horses to support! (To be continued.)
