"There's another thing that's good about this beast." Silent smiled: "It has thick skin on its knees and chest" It is best to kneel on the ground, even if it encounters strong wind and dust, it will not move. The merchants took advantage of this characteristic to line up a large group of ostriches to defend the siege when camping or in bad weather, which was very effective. When Meng Yuan destroyed Huā Thorn Mo, Jin and Song Dynasty, they all used this method to set up camp, known as "Horror City,." Said with a smile: "Of course, I also said it" As for whether it can be done, the escort troops sent by Dongsheng have already returned to Shenmu Fort, and it is estimated that Hu Shouren will be able to come here tomorrow, and they have to be evaluated. ”

Chonggu nodded and said, "It's a big deal," and it really had to be safe. ”

Half of the 40,000 compound troops who returned from outside the border were repaired at Dingtao Fort in front of them, and the other half were repaired at Shenmu Fort, and Hu Shouren and Li Chengliang, who led the troops, hurried to Yulin Fort with only a few hundred guards to meet the Governor.

Shen Mo and them are both old acquaintances, although they are only hundreds of miles apart, they are the difference between the front line and the rear, they have not seen each other for several months, and they are extremely affectionate at the moment. Others will be put aside, and they will be treated with good wine and meat.

After being full of wine and food, Shen Mo asked about the things on the front line, although he saw the military newspaper every day, as well as the secret performance of the Military Intelligence Department, but the affairs of the army still listened to the parties themselves, which was more real and macroscopic.

"Everything is fine in Dongsheng City." Li Chengliang came out of the silent mansion, and his words were casual, and he said, "It's just a little too good." ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked with a silent smile.

"Qi Shuai must have been a plasterer in his last life." Li Chengliang said with a smile: "I arranged for my brothers to expand the city wall and build city defenses all day long, and also took advantage of the dry season to "dig and widen the moat...... Good fellow, the city that used to be ten miles is now twenty miles. ”

"You Lao Li, the complaints are all skyrocketing, Qi Shuai has explained many times" Hu Shouren is from the Qi family's army, and he heard that his own handsome man is not "Of course he is not happy", so he retorted: "This is for the sake of tomorrow spring after the war" We can have a stable base camp, and secondly, it can also allow the soldiers to maintain their physical fitness, so that they will not be raised for a winter, and all of them will be rusty. ”

"I'm angry here." Li Chengliang bared his teeth, showed Bai Sensen's teeth and said: "Your old Hu is leading heavy soldiers, and repairing the city wall is your own job" Of course, he is not tired of it. But I'm taking cavalry with me! From the beginning of the side, I fought like a mosquito, and then I couldn't beat Dalhut, and I couldn't "attack Dongsheng City...... After capturing Dongsheng City, how many times did I take the initiative to ask for battle, but I was still pressed to death, and I was repairing the city wall all day long. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hu Shouren made a tiger face and shouted in a low voice: "Hugh wants to take the heart of a villain and spend the belly of a gentleman!" ”

"If you are a gentleman, you must be open!" With the strength of the wine, Li Chengliang poured out the dissatisfaction that had accumulated for a winter.

As soon as they came down from the front line, both of them had a faint bird in their mouths, so they unknowingly drank too much wine, "Originally, I could still hold down the strength of the wine to stay sober, but as soon as the anger came up, I rubbed my head, and I forgot where I was and who I was against." The bickering escalates into a pair of quarrels, and the next step is to make a move.

But when I heard a crisp sound, "The two of them were scared", I followed the sound and looked, but it was the Inspector who threw the wine jar to the ground.

The guards immediately poured into the hall, staring at the two-fighting generals. The two knew that the big thing was not good, and they quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have let you drink." Shen Mo sighed gloomily: "Where is the military judge? ”

"Humble duty." A fourth-rank military general hurried in.

"How can I be punished for today's incident?" Shen Mo said lightly.

"This ......", although the military judge has to send out a lot of military laws every day, how dare he convict the superintendent? He said, "What is the crime of the overseer?" ”

"Alcoholism in the camp." Said silently.

"This is your business, not a barracks." The military judge said: "Besides, it's night" There is no rule that alcohol is not allowed. ”

At this time, because of the delivery of materials, "Wang Chonggu, who had just come back from outside, also knew the reason", and hurriedly helped to comfort the superintendent.

"In short, it's not right," he waved his hand silently and said, "If there is an emergency military situation at this time, shouldn't you make a mistake?" Since there is no rule, let's punish half of the alcoholism in the camp, how much? ”

"Yes......" the military judge slurred, "forty military sticks." ”

"Okay, let's do it." Shen Mo stood up, took off the cyan cotton robe on his body, revealing the white middle single inside, and strode out the door.

Li Chengliang and Hu Shouren came back to their senses at this time, and hurriedly rushed over, holding his arm one by one, kneeling on the ground and begging: "You want us to apologize for our crimes." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Mo said indifferently: "My buttocks eat military sticks, what do you have to do?" ”

"Don't let us be ashamed." It was the first time Li Chengliang had seen someone so angry, but he was even more afraid in his heart, not to mention others who were so ruthless to himself: "We have received this stick" and one person is eighty. ”

Hu Shouren also thought about it, if he dared to let Shen Mo eat the stick, Qi Jiguang would be able to pick his skin when he went back" So he said with a dumb throat: "If you don't agree" The last general could only find a rope and hang himself, not daring to see anyone again. ”

Wang Chonggu also opened his eyes, and said in his heart that it was the first time he saw someone rushing to be beaten.

Seeing them begging left and right, Shen Mo reluctantly agreed: "Forget it, one person will receive twenty, and all of them should wake up the bar." ”

The two of them thanked each other, went down to the hall, and greeted the silent soldiers: "What are you doing in a daze, take a stick." ”

一"一"一一、一"一、一"

When everyone retreated, Wang Chonggu stretched out a thumbs up to express his admiration for Shen Mo. In fact, although the conflict between Li Chengliang and Hu Shouren today is accidental, "there are also inevitable factors." The irritability caused by not going to war for a long time, the contradictions between different factions brewing, and even the ...... of disagreements over the course of the program, all kinds of negative emotions can cause big trouble at any time...... It is almost certain that you dare to make noise in the face of silence.

Therefore, today's matter, if the two of them are not sent down, once they are transmitted back to Dongsheng City, it will inevitably make all parties more and more unrestrained, which will cause a big disaster. However, after all, they are heroes who came down from the front line, and "great merit is not rewarded" to punish small mistakes first, which will inevitably make the two of them feel resentful, and spreading it will also make people feel that his reward and punishment are unfair and he attaches too much importance to his authority.

Don't look at the big thing" but if it is not handled well, it is really troublesome. But silence is never a problem here, he can get the two of them to beg for punishment, and receiving the baton is like taking advantage of it.

"I can do this here, you can see what has become of Dongsheng City." Silent but there was no smug look on his face, and said to Wang Chonggu: "Although Qi Yuanjing has unparalleled ability to govern the army, after all, the Ming Dynasty has not had a military general as a commander for many years." Said with a wry smile and said, "Why do you think Qi Yuanjing sent them back?" Don't you just want me to help clean up? ”

"Your Excellency and General Qi trust and understand each other" will definitely be a good story in the future. Wang Chonggu said with a smile.

"It has to start well and finish well." Shen Mo came out with a thoughtless sentence, and turned to a straight tone: "It seems that after the New Year, it is necessary for me to go to Dongsheng City to give him a town" We can't let those arrogant soldiers disturb our plans. ”

"What about Yulinburg?" Wang Chonggu smiled bitterly: "Hundreds of thousands of people, money and grain from several provinces, as well as Beijing's chaotic demands in the southeast, and Shanxi's calculations...... These guns and arrows in all directions should be overwhelming, but it is not something that I, the governor of the three sides, can withstand.

"Don't be vain." Shen Mo smiled: "You can handle most of the incidents, but you don't want to steal my limelight, so you've been hiding it." I will go to Dongsheng to create a platform for you to show. Otherwise, when you are rewarded for meritorious deeds, you are still second: "If I can't establish my prestige, how can I hand over the important task of passing through the northwest to you in the future?" ”

"My lord", Wang Chonggu knew that Shen Mo was thoughtful, and it was useless to say more, so he could only nod his head heavily.

At this time, Li Chengliang and Hu Shouren finished eating the military stick and staggered in. The physical fitness of the two is really good, and they don't need to be helped, "It's just that the butt can't be sitting."

"You helped me get beaten this time", silently let the two lie on the kang, and the military doctor came to deal with the wounds for them" He sat opposite the two of them, and said: "But I don't admit your affection because you have disappointed me." ”

"Or, you can beat us again......" The two of them said with gloomy expressions: "You say that, it's more uncomfortable than beating a military stick......

"If I could open your elm heads, I wouldn't mind a few hundred sticks." Shen Mo sneered: "But is it useful?" Am I talking too little bitterly? Have you forgotten what this battle meant? ”

"No......," the two shook their heads.

"Tell me." Silent ordered.

"For the Nose Court, this battle can at least play a peaceful fifty years in the northwest, so that the imperial court can save one-third of the military expenses and grain and grass every year, and can be able to dispatch heavy troops through Jiliao, and completely eliminate the threat of the Mongolian iron cavalry to the Ming Dynasty", so that the imperial court can let go of the old and the new, and save the stubborn situation of the mountains and rivers. The two of you are a sentence, I am a sentence, and said like an endorsement: "For our martial artists, it is even more significant, personal achievements are immortal, and we can enjoy high-ranking officials and lords, and be crowned as wives and sons." It can also make the change of the civil fort, the status of the army under the river has been greatly improved, my lord, are we right? ”

"Almost." Shen Mo nodded and asked, "Do you think this is not enough weight?" ”

"Enough, enough." The two quickly shook their heads, feeling that something was wrong, and nodded vigorously.

"Then why can't you put away your little pride, little abacus, and little problems, unite sincerely, and pass this pass?"

"My lord, we are just having a brain fever for a while, and there will be no next time."

"I don't think it's just a moment of brain fever, right?" Silently took out a thick stack of text slips as if playing tricks, spread them in front of the two of them and said, "This is all brain fever? I think it's time to take cold medicine raw. ”

The two hurriedly picked them up one by one and read them, and saw that it was recorded in detail that "every conflict between the two of them, as well as their reactions to favor and protect the short, and the consequences caused by them...... The two of them who watched it were in a cold sweat, and then they knew that if Shen Mo really talked to them about military law, let alone spanking, "It's enough to cut off your head."

"I don't believe you don't understand the truth that civil strife leads to decline, and arrogant soldiers will be defeated." Shen Mo sighed and said: "The so-called drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, if you don't want to settle accounts after the autumn, think about it carefully, and do it yourself in the future." With that, he got up and left.

一,一,一"一,一,一"一,壹壹"

On the second day, Li Chengliang and Hu Shouren appeared on the school field with black circles under their eyes. Silently watched them walk without hindrance, "just a little bit out of the way, then nodded" and motioned for them to stand still beside him.

With the sound of cannons, the 13,000 horses that were ready to transport the load were all assembled on the school field under the command of the station. After a burst of chickens and dogs jumping, the shameful people all lay down around the camp, "with a stack of boxes on their backs, and then the felt stained with water to cover them tightly, and the musketeers lay down behind the formation, and on the high slope heaped up with heavy lifting, there were several rows of Francophone machines and musketeers waiting for them, and from a distance, they were dark and heavy, and the black crows and crows were just like an iron wall."

After the formation, "Li Chengliang's cavalry began to charge, and in order to achieve the effect, hundreds of firecrackers were also lit to simulate the effect of the battlefield." But the camels who were accustomed to hearing the desert wind and sand were not moved at all, even if the cavalry rushed to the front and really waved their knives to cut off a few horses, it did not cause the panic of the camel formation, and the garrison was alive, and the staff quickly adjusted the formation and filled the gap in the back.

Then, according to Hu Shouren's request, he "carried out more than a dozen project exercises, and knew that it would not end until dark." Silently asked Hu Shouren, who was hoarse, "How is it?" ”

"Very good, except for the overall cooperation, it is excellent in all aspects." Hu Shouren said: "You can solve it with a little practice." He said incredulously, "I didn't think those camels could be so obedient, if the horses had already fried up," but they could not move. ”

Otherwise, what will the caravans in the Gobi do to defend themselves against rampant banditry? Shen Mo laughed and said: "You know, today I have gathered a few of the best ostrich teams in the entire Great Northwest" and I will leave it all to you!" ”

"I will live up to the trust of adults!" Hu Shouren nodded solemnly.! ~！
