Chapter 270: Don't stand under the wall
Back in the camp, Zhao Xun's gloomy face made Luo Yi and the others very puzzled, and they didn't know what was going on, so they didn't dare to disturb lightly.
Let Wei Chen and the two lieutenants continue to train the soldiers, while Zhao Xun found Wei Dong.
"Wei Dong, immediately sue Li Lingfeng, just say that my identity has been leaked, let him be prepared, if there is an accident, act immediately, control the north gate, and wait for us to kill out. At the same time, let the spies outside also be prepared, and if there is an incident, when they receive news from us, they will immediately set fire to disturb the whole city. At the same time, he also asked Tanma to be ready to inform the two battalions of cavalry in North Wind City at any time. β
When Wei Dong heard this, he was shocked, and immediately understood why Zhao Xun's face was gloomy last night. That's a big deal. So he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my subordinates will do it!" β
Then Zhao Xun thought about it again, and then called Xu Le and asked him to go out and prepare.
Although I don't know why Li Yu didn't name his identity and didn't take action, but instead appointed himself as the captain of the first battalion of his new army, Zhao Xun is by no means the kind of person who puts his safety in the hands of others. Zi said: Prevent disasters first, not later. Knowing and acting cautiously, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he can ignore it. The saints have said that a gentleman should stay away from dangerous places. This includes two aspects: one is to take precautions, be aware of potential dangers in advance, and take preventive measures; The second is to leave in time once you find yourself in a dangerous situation. Now that your situation is no longer under your control, how can you be controlled by others?
Of the 3,500 members of the new army, except for 500 scouts specially trained by Zhao Xun and reconnoitred around the clock at the junction between Gaoling County and the outside world, the rest were stationed in the new camp in the northwest of the city. Although he also participated in three or four operations, Li Yuqingzhuang approved the transfer. Without Li Yu's warrant, he couldn't stay away from the camp at will.
After waiting for half a pillar of incense, the guards reported and Luo Yi asked to see him.
"Brother Zhao, the scout has come to report that there is a small group of horse thieves of the Black Snake Army around Youji Town, should we ask the adults to go to war?" Luo Yi said excitedly.
Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Go, you go and report to the adults, it is best to get the assistance of the Huolin Army Cavalry Battalion." β
Seeing Luo Yi's puzzled face, Zhao Xun explained: "We have defeated the harassment horse thief team of the Black Snake Army several times, how can they send people lightly, maybe, there is a conspiracy here." With the assistance of the Huolin Army's cavalry battalion, we are not afraid of any ambush on the other side. β
Luo Yi nodded and said, "Well, Brother Zhao is still reasonable. He is worthy of being the commander of the Fire Lin Army. β
Not long after Luo Yi left, Li Lingfeng appeared in the tent, with an anxious look on his face, and said, "My lord, do you need to take someone out now?" β
Zhao Xun smiled: "Don't worry too much, my identity has been leaked, and now I'm afraid only Li Yu knows, and I already know it." If he were going to do something to me, I'm afraid he would have done it a long time ago. Be prepared now and be prepared. By the way, I will take these 3,000 new troops to the training camp thirty miles to the north, and I will only use them if I want to use them, otherwise I will ......."
Zhao Xun's face sank, and he said coldly: "Then you need to do it, and all of them will be executed." β
"All executions? That's a shame! However, if it is not used by us, it can only add power to the other party. Besides, food and clothing are all provided by adults, and if you can't work for adults, you can only die. Li Lingfeng also said gloomily. Li Lingfeng is from the Huolin Army, he is not a good person. Even if you are a good person, at this time, you don't have a choice.
Not long after, Luo Yi brought Li Yu's military order, and the new army set off with the Huolin Army cavalry battalion! Take on the enemy.
After lunch, the whole army rushed westward with three days of dry rations.
"My lord? The town of Yuji is in the north. What do we do westward? Luo Yi asked puzzled, and Xin Ming and the three of them also looked at Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun said with a smile: "In order to confuse the local spies in Gaoling County, first to the west, and then in a secluded place, suddenly turned north. β
At this time, Xie Tong found a trace of abnormality, and the cavalry battalion of the Huolin Army walked around the sides of the infantry army, holding weapons in their hands, and their eyes squinted slightly, looking at the three thousand new troops. And the three battalions were from the Captain of the Huolin Army and the three hundred Zhao Xun's personal guard battalions, and they were all guarding Zhao Xun's side, which seemed to be nothing, but Xie Tong could still see the slightest change from the other party's Yan SΓΉ expression.
Xie Tong's face darkened, he didn't know what Zhao Xun had in addition to the problem, and he didn't know why Zhao Xun had changed so much. At this time, the state of marching was completely the best state of cavalry. With just a slight acceleration, you can slash the middle of the new army obliquely, one qiΔ into three, and annihilate it.
Xie Tong's mood changed drastically, but he didn't say anything, he also wanted to know, what did Zhao Xun do? He believed that Zhao Xun would not attack the new army for no reason. Xie Tong's face changed slightly, and naturally fell into the eyes of Zhao Xun, who was engrossed in paying attention to the five people. Seeing that Xie Tong didn't shout out, Zhao Xun also let go of the right hand that was holding the Moon Slashing Sword at his waist. It's not that he doesn't believe in Xie Tong's friends, but he cares more about his own life. Because he has more friends, family, and wives waiting for him, he can't leave them alone.
Maybe I've changed now! It's no longer the same Zhao Xun as before! But for the sake of more friends and brothers, I have to be so careful. Someone once said that if you love the country, you love the beauty more. Some people have also said that they love the country and the beauty, but they love themselves more. Yes, only by being alive can we talk about what to love......
After marching for half an hour, he suddenly headed north in an unpopulated place in front and back, and headed towards the new barracks at the beginning of the training, which was also close to a small valley and uninhabited around, so Li Lingfeng set it up as a training camp.
Two hours before and after, 3,000 recruits and 1,000 cavalry arrived at the training camp in the valley. The difference, though, was that the recruits were out of breath and the cavalry was silent.
"Seal the door! Summoning the new sergeants, the whole army is assembled! Entering the camp, Zhao Xun ordered sharply. Seeing Zhao Xun's eyes, Xie Tong looked nervous, and the rest of the people were also puzzled, this place is not far from Gaoling County, and there are no enemy troops, why should they be so nervous.
The three thousand soldiers were worthy of being trained by the Huolin Army, and although they were tired and out of breath, they still strictly obeyed the military orders and quickly assembled in the empty school ground. A thousand cavalrymen were divided into two teams, a hundred meters away on either side, but the weapons in their hands did not relax in the slightest. Zhao Xun unhurriedly ascended the high platform, and the three hundred guards were lined up around the high platform, holding the horizontal knife handle at his waist.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on? Shouldn't they be in the townships around the northern demarcation line? How? Luo Yi pointed to the five hundred New Army scouts on horses not far away, and asked puzzledly.
Zhao Xun smiled indifferently and said, "I'll explain to you in a while, now, don't be impatient!" β
Looking at the three thousand soldiers in the audience, Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said loudly: "Do you know who I am?" β
Stunned, the first battalion soldier said loudly: "Lord Captain! β
"Not bad! I'm the captain of the first battalion! At the same time, I am the response of the new army, the supplier of armor, food and grass, and the one who provides you with bread and bread. Zhao Xun shouted. For this, these new sergeants already knew, and for this, they were very grateful to Zhao Yangongzi, the captain of the first battalion.
"Excellent! Now that everyone knows, I'll get straight to the point! β
"What is he doing here?" Luo Yi said with a somewhat ugly face.
"What to do? I don't know. However, I think there should be an accident somewhere, haven't you seen it, this new army was transferred by Zhao Xun's design. The cavalry battalion and scout battalion are ready for the big battle, and we are under the watchful eye of the guard battalion. Xin Ming said bitterly.
"I think this has something to do with the leakage of Brother Zhao's identity. Okay, now that we've made the decision to follow Brother Zhao to fight the Yan Army, don't worry about anything else. I don't think he would have been like this if it hadn't happened for a reason. Xie Tong said lightly.
"Now! In Gaoling County, there are people who want to be unfavorable to me, and may even want to get rid of me. So, I want you to make a choice. One is to leave the army and go home to do what you have to do. The second is to listen to my orders, and if I Zhao has something to eat in the future, I won't be hungry for everyone. Zhao Xun said unhurriedly.
In the middle of the night, the whole school was silent, and no one spoke.
"I am willing to serve the captain and never give up!" A kanji said aloud. "My lord is benevolent and righteous, and my family, young and old, also lost the salary and settlement allowance of the captain to survive. The grace of saving lives should be repaid with death! β
"Good! In the future, if you die in battle, you will have me in your family to provide for you, knowing that a new labor force will appear. Your name is Tiehu, a native of Qianming Village, a soldier of my first battalion! Now, stand on the left! Zhao Xun said loudly.
"I do, too!" "And me!" β¦β¦
In a short moment, all but three of the soldiers of the first battalion were on the left side. The soldiers of the other two battalions are also gradually moving. Zhao Xun did not urge, and let the soldiers move freely.
After a stick of incense, the soldiers in the field basically stopped moving, and the entire martial arts field formed a large and a small, two groups, separated by a distance of more than 50 meters. There are more than 2,500 people on the left and more than 400 people on the right.
"Very well, it is not in vain that I have provided you with such a good treatment. To put it mildly, I raised more than 3,000 of you. But now there are still one in eight people who are ungrateful and timid. What do you say, 'What should you do?' Zhao Xun asked lightly.
"Ungrateful! Kill! Wei Dong, who was beside Zhao Xun, replied loudly.
"Come on, kill!" Zhao Xun waved his right hand violently.
"Ah......" "My lord spare my life!" "We ...... wrong"
"Woo Woo ......"
Arrows rained down, and the five hundred Huozi battalion cavalry on the right and the five hundred scout battalion cavalry on the back didn't care about letting go of the arrows in their hands. In a moment, the blood was surging, and there were more than 400 blood-colored hedgehogs in the school field. Zhao Xun's methods made the more than 2,600 people alive frightened.
"Alright, the scout camp is back. There were only 3,000 recruits, and the extra ones were naturally unqualified. Now the new barracks are more than a hundred people from before. It is divided into three battalions, each with one lieutenant and three lieutenants. We have 19 military regulations, but the military regulations after the third article must be on par with the previous three. That is, from the fourth article onwards, it must be subject to the third, the third to the second, and the second to the first. β
"The first article of the military regulations, unconditional obedience to military orders! Second, unconditional obedience to military orders! The third one, unconditional obedience to military orders, remember, except obedience or obedience, whatever I ask you to do? You all have to obey, even if it's a cliff on the other side, and I don't let you stop, you have to walk on for me. Zhao Xun shouted. These more than 400 people, their families will be told that they died on the battlefield, and in addition to doubling their pensions, they will also be given a little care every month in the future. β
As soon as Zhao Xun's words came out, some people were greatly moved, and they were secretly relieved. At the very least, this new master is still a righteous man, provided that you obey orders.
"Scout battalion, give me a queue, fire word battalion, give me training, and strictly train the execution of military orders for three days!"
Suddenly, the entire school field began to get busy, of course, among the more than 2,600 people, there were dozens of spies placed by the Huolin Army, and among them, there were more than a dozen secret agents from several parties. Of course, these agents won't survive tonight.
"I know that a few brothers don't know much about my current situation, and they are very dissatisfied, let's go to the big tent and talk. Fortunately, the training camp we set up has not been dismantled, and some things are still there. Zhao Xun looked at the people with different faces and said with a smile.
"My identity has been revealed! You know what that means? The two cavalry battalions I placed in the north of Shunzhou Mansion more than 60 miles away from the stars and nights rushed straight to this place to encircle and suppress the Shunzhou army with all my might. Come to think of it, with the ability of my Zhao Xun and the Huozi Battalion, there is no problem in waiting for reinforcements in this mountain forest. At the same time, the Qingyang army in the west will also march in large armies and strangle the Shunzhou army with all their might, because I have a great relationship with Li Muzhi. Come and see, what is the result of the Shunzhou Army? The Shunzhou Army, which was already disunited, commanded the ashes to be annihilated, and these more than 30 large towns and towns, four or five hundred neighboring villages were about to be affected, and nearly 100,000 people were displaced. β
Of course, I don't want to do that, and I don't want to be in the hands of others. Therefore, today's soldiers made a dangerous move and struck a sharp blow. If the brothers still look at Zhao, then continue to stay here and fight together. If you are not satisfied with what Zhao did, you can also leave, everyone is still good friends and brothers! It's just that if you match each other in the future, you don't need to show mercy to each other. Zhao Xun said calmly.
"I don't care, I'll stay! Anyway, in the Shunzhou army, I am also homeless! Zhu Tear smiled innocently and said indifferently.
"I also stayed, for Brother Zhao's approach, although cold, but I think it is still necessary to do so. Besides, when these people die, their families will no longer suffer. I really admire the way the Fire Lin Army dealt with it. After Xie Tong said a word, he sat on the ground.
"As for me, I'll stay too! I'm very optimistic about you! Yang Qiu said with a smile.
At this time, among the five people, four of them said to stay, and everyone looked at Luo Yi.
"See what I do? In the Shunzhou army, there were repeated defeats. However, among the new army, which is also the Shunzhou army, it has indeed won consecutive battles. Do you still want to take me captive? I said Brother Zhao, I didn't say hello to my brother before I acted, is this obviously not trusting me? Luo Yi said dissatisfiedly. Seriously, what did I think Zhao Xun was going to do at first? Now it seems that this is what the lord of an army should do. Indecision will never make a big deal.
"Am I not worried that you will be involved? If something happens, you can push it on me! Zhao Xun explained with a wry smile.
"Is this the work of a brother......?"
"It's ......"
"By the way, I'd like to ask, where did you get all that money? Such a resettlement of the families of the soldiers who died in the war will cost a lot of money in the future. Although the monthly consolation money has been repaid, the children in the family can grow up, but it also takes a lot! Yang Qiu asked puzzled.
Zhao Xun smiled and said: "I have good news for you, in the northwest Cangshan of Yanzhou Prefecture, we have found three silver mines. It can also get more than 1,500 taels of income every month. Maybe there will be more in the future, but if it really doesn't work, then go and rob it, go and rob the Jin army, go and rob the Khitans, go and rob the Turks...... The soldiers died on the battlefield in order to defend the territory, and we can't ignore it! In the end, Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Zhao, no, Lord Dutong! I'm Luo Yi today! In the future, I am willing to die for adults. "His father is a non-commissioned officer of the government army, so he naturally knows the treatment of the government army, and he also deeply feels that Zhao Xun is kind to the soldier, and he is completely convinced from the bottom of his heart!
The four of Xin Ming glanced at each other, bowed down in unison, and said in unison: "We are also willing to die for the adults!" β
"There is no need for this, we are capable brothers and friends, hand in hand to fight!" Zhao Xun laughed.
"Good! Fight hand in hand! β
