Whether people admit it or not, they actually have something they are afraid of. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info some of these things are entities, and some are ethereal existences, such as discipline, such as order.

When these things are not backed by strong institutions, they are often seen as a joke or give rise to the idea that a strong man is everything. However, when two forces of force, one strictly observes discipline and the other is lax, even the undisciplined side will feel reverence for the disciplined side from the bottom of his heart.

Just like the current Shangnan, although in terms of the comparison of troops, Feng and Wang are both one brigade. In terms of troops, the number of Zhensong troops exceeded one brigade, while the actual strength of Feng's brigade was less than one brigade.

From the point of view of the composition of the soldiers, the Zhensong army is an old pole that has been a bandit for many years, everyone has leg strength, and the Feng army is mainly infantry, and the infantry is mainly recruits, and lacks combat experience. No matter how you look at it, the strength of the Zhen Song army is stronger than that of Feng Ministry, but in fact, from top to bottom, the Zhen Song army has a consensus in their hearts that they can't mess with Feng Huanzhang's brigade.

These Feng soldiers wearing armbands with the words "Do not disturb the people, truly love the people, and swear to serve the country to the death" were regarded as freaks by the Zhensong army, just like the wooden churches of their accompanying troops. However, just looking at their drills, as well as the intensity of the training and the subjects of the training, these generals felt chills down their spines and did not dare to face them.

The Zhensong army was rampant and domineering in Henan, relying on the fast horse and the knife, surrendering and rebelling, and rebelling and surrendering, and played many times. I don't care much about the so-called order or discipline. However, in the First Battle of Shangnan, when facing the Lu army, which was forbidden by order and regarded death as home, Wang Tianzong realized how important discipline was.

The imposing army, when it encounters the Lu army, it is like ice and snow meeting the sun, disintegrating and dissolving, and it is defeated. In that battle, although the establishment of the Zhensong Army was preserved and the strength was not seriously damaged, in fact, the morale of the army had been weakened, and the courage had been broken.

As the green forest force in Henan, there is an inextricable connection between Xiangma in Shandong. Wang Tianzong himself and Sun Guiliang, a veteran cavalry general of the Lu army, have a deep friendship.

The commissioner of the Lu army easily entered the Zhensong army after the war and carried out persuasion. Although Wang Tianzong was noncommittal and perfunctory, he was already eye-to-eyeing with Lu Jun.

When it came to meeting Guo Jian, Wang Tianzong threw himself into Lu's heart, but it became more and more prosperous. It was not that Guo Jian was too thin on Zhen Song, on the contrary, because Guo Jian's troops were too similar to Zhen Song's army, Wang Tianzong decided to give up Guo Jian and defect to the Lu army. After he experienced a defeat, he could clearly realize that it was impossible for a team like himself to defeat an enemy like Lu Jun.

There will be rules of the game for the trip. They will obey the strong, but they will not be loyal to a certain force, and the object of their loyalty will always be themselves. It is because he will rob in Qiangnan, and then set fire, but he will also stab Guo Jian at a critical moment. As a result, the two leaders of the Salvation King were all captured and executed by Beiyang.

As a reward, Zhen Songjun obtained the number of the Third Brigade under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Provincial Army, and had the corresponding rank and treatment. But that doesn't mean you can sit back and relax. In fact, in Shaanxi Province, the power of the Hui Party is still very strong. After Hu Yunyi's troops retreated to Huanglong Mountain, although they did not come out to oppose the Beiyang soldiers, they issued a pursuit and killing order for the Zhensong army.

The Hongmen, the Elders' Association and other forces in Shaanxi Province regarded the Zhensong Army as traitors and would kill them quickly. As an outsider, this army lacks a local popular base, and can only rely on the government.

It is impossible for the Lu army to be stationed in Shaanxi for a long time, and the target that Wang Tianzong can rely on has become Feng Huanzhang. This time when he entered Shaanxi from Henan, Zhen Songjun had not only the old man's ticket obtained by Bai Lang, but also the gold, silver and tobacco looted along the way. He prepared a generous gift, ready to use it to open Feng Huanzhang's joints, but after arriving in Shangnan, he found that he had met another freak.

Feng Huanzhang, a believer in foreign religion, does not collect money, does not eat cigarettes, and is not good at women. The tiger met the hedgehog and had nowhere to go. The American-Israeli Presbyterian Church believers and Shaolin disciples are destined not to have a common language. Although the two armies are in Shangnan, they do not have much intersection with each other.

Feng Huanzhang's invitation has no reason at all, and it will inevitably make people suspicious. But Wang Tianzong is an old man after all, and he sees farther than his subordinates. Rejecting Feng's invitation is tantamount to closing the door to friendly exchanges between the two times, and the future days of Zhen Songjun's life in Shaanxi will be even more difficult. In any case, the gain from taking a risk will always outweigh the loss. Again...... I also have a brigade of people.

More than a dozen leaders were invited, and everyone took off their military uniforms and changed into their beloved robes. Each of them was surrounded by skilled and absolutely loyal guards, and together there were nearly 100 people. The procession roared into the county seat, and the sound of horses' hooves and mighty bells shattered the peace of the town.

On the streets, the porridge shack is still in operation, and Hannah's philanthropy has not ended when she leaves the city, but has become more and more lively. As the first county town to be recovered, the prosperity and liveliness of Shangnan have surpassed that before the war.

The inhabitants also became more emboldened, and even if the horse team rushed in, they were not afraid, but just stood on both sides of the street and watched the horses whizzing by. The merchant's stall was hastily cleaned up, leaving only the width of the horse passage, and the rest was not moved, apparently for the convenience of the stall for a while.

As a result of recent immigration transits, business is better than in the past, attracting more and more businessmen, especially food. An apple vendor hastily cleaned up the stall and looked curiously at the passing horse team by the roadside. His apples were still exposed, and they were big and red, which was very endearing.

Suddenly, a horsewhip circled like a snake, and before the peddler could wake up, the apple on the top had been rolled up and withdrawn, and then fell into the hands of the knight. Taking a big bite, the sweet and sour juice was full of mouthful, Liu Zhenhua said while chewing vigorously: "It tastes good!" This is the fruit of our hometown, since I entered Shaanxi, I have never tasted such an authentic taste. ”

Wang Tianzong shook his head, "You, you are really uneasy, what are you doing here?" When I arrived at the place, I didn't want to eat anything. ”

"It's hard to say. Lao Feng heard that he was very slammed, who knows what kind of table to prepare for us, maybe when the time comes, a table of vegetarian mats will come out, just like when the eldest brother practiced in the temple. ”

"When I practiced in the temple, I also had meat to eat." Wang Tianzong snorted, but he didn't take Liu Zhenhua to heart about taking the apple. Whether it's a general or a Beiyang soldier, if you only eat an apple, can you still call a problem?

The place where the banquet was held was the largest restaurant in Shangnan, but it was actually only a two-story building. The second floor was originally destroyed by fire, but it has just been repaired recently, and it is not officially opened. Outside the door, there were more than a dozen Feng soldiers, and Feng Huanzhang's subordinate generals Feng Anbang and Lu Hong were in charge of reception outside the door.

The officer style of Feng's department is the same as Feng Huanzhang's, there is no distinction between officers and soldiers, and the commanders are dressed as plainly as soldiers. Even for this kind of banquet, the two men were dressed in military uniforms, and there were patches on their clothes, which were shabby. It is in stark contrast to the Lu army, where company-level cadres are generally equipped with gold pocket watches. People don't have eight-sided delicate roles, although it is a reception, but the speech is also very blunt. Just nod

"The brigade is waiting on the second floor, please go up and speak. As for the brothers, they could not be entertained inside, but they could only be invited outside. ”

Wang Tianzong's sworn sibling Chai Yunsheng looked cold, "Why?" It was freezing cold, the brothers were eating outside, and we were eating wine inside, and I couldn't eat this meal! ”

Feng Anbang's voice was also cold, "Eat wine together, eat wind together." Our brethren can also accompany them to eat the wind! ”

"That's it!" Wang Tianzong shouted at his brother, "When you arrive at the territory of Brigade Commander Feng, you have to give face to others, and you are noisy and shouting, what is it?" The place is small, so let's stand outside for a while, anyway, it won't be long. ”

He led his head, and more than a dozen leaders of the Zhensong army rushed in. I saw that the place on the first floor was really not big, and if the guards came in, they would actually not be able to entertain them. The men and the shopkeeper were waiting on both sides, and at the stairs on the first floor, there stood four burly men, who stood up and saluted when they saw everyone coming. Then he said: "On the order of the brigade commander, all guests please disarm their pistols." ”

"Disarmed?" Chai Yunsheng's hand fell on the gun violently, but Wang Tianzong's speed was also very fast, and he had already grabbed Bai Di's hand. "Carrying a gun while eating and drinking is inherently easy to misfire. What's the trouble, people didn't say that they weren't allowed to bring knives. ”

The generals all have good skills, and they are more accustomed to using knives than guns. Hearing the boss's reminder, Chai Yunsheng no longer insisted on carrying a gun, but grabbed the other party's speech disease, and went up to the second floor with his own knife. On the second floor, Feng Huanzhang sat in the chief, and next to him was the famous Thirteen Taibao of Feng's department. Feng Jun has a proverb: Shi Hanzhang's whip, Han Xiangfang's rope, Liang Guanying's flat race is like a dragon. Sitting with us today are these Feng cadres who have trained with "strict laws".

Feng Huanzhang was dressed like an old farmer, sitting there, without the majesty of a military general. He sat there, his eyes closed, his cross in his hand, whispering something.

The second floor is quiet, no one speaks, and you can hear a pin dropped on the floor. In this environment, an old peasant-like person whispered softly, and the atmosphere became even more eerie.

Rao is Wang Tianzong is well-informed, seeing this kind of scene, his steps subconsciously became lighter, deliberately raising his legs high, landing lightly, and avoiding making movements. The rest of the people, like Wang Tianzong, came to the table cautiously.

Liang Guanying made a gesture, and several people sat down, Wang Tianzong sat on the top, and sat down next to Feng Huanzhang. It can be vaguely heard, it seems to be a word of praise or thanks, and at the end there is only a "Amen"

When the old farmer opened his eyes, Wang Tianzong dared to speak. He smiled reluctantly, "Brigade Commander Feng is polite, if you want to say that you have a treat, I should also invite Brigade Commander Feng." Our Zhensong army is an outsider, and he is not familiar with the people and land of Shaanxi, and in the future, on the ground, he will have to rely on Brigade Commander Feng to take care of him. I'm waiting for this meal, brother. ”

"Not necessarily!" Feng Huanzhang shook his head, there was not much cordiality in his tone, and there was no hostility in his voice. It's like a machine, without emotion.

"Zhen Songjun is a guest from afar, and it is the responsibility of the landlord to entertain guests, and this meal, whether it is public or private, should be invited. Come on, get ready to serve wine. ”

The preparation of the banquet is very simple, not as Liu Zhenhua said, it is all vegetarian dishes, but for the brigade commander, it is also shabby. It's just that a few whole sheep are stewed in a pot and served with a few jars of soju, which is nothing more than the standard of the generals of the Zhensong Army during their daily marches.

Feng Huanzhang has always been poor, and such a banquet is expected. Wang Tianzong picked up the wine bowl, "Brigade Commander Feng, this bowl of wine, my brother respects you." ”

Feng Huanzhang picked up the bowl, but instead of drinking, he sprinkled it on the ground. When several generals of the Zhensong Army were suspicious, they heard Feng Huanzhang say: "This bowl of wine, I am here to commemorate the people who died in this military disaster." The people of Shaanxi were innocent and were killed for no reason. Chang'an is white, and there are thousands of unjust souls. Just a bowl of wine, I'm afraid I can't sacrifice so many Guanzhong fathers and elders. ”

Wang Tianzong's face was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't judge whether Feng Huanzhang's words were referring or casual. The psychology of being a thief made him unable to even be tough, so he had to smile awkwardly, "Yes, it is all the perverse actions of Guo thieves, which have harmed the villagers in Shaanxi." ”

"The fire in Chang'an can be counted on Guo Jian's head, but what about Qiang Bai?" Feng Huanzhang said coldly.

Liu Zhenhua took over: "That was done by Hu Yunyi." Those swordsmen were lawless, they could do whatever they wanted, we were burdened with heavy responsibilities at the time, we didn't dare to reveal our identities, we had the intention to kill the thief, and we had no power to return to the sky. ”

Feng Huanzhang looked at Liu Zhenhua, "Chief of Staff Liu." When you entered the city just now, you took a vendor's apple and didn't pay for it, right? ”

The officers of the Zhensong Army did not know when Feng Huanzhang got the news, on the one hand, they were surprised by the strength of his control over the city, and on the other hand, they were laughing at his pedantry. Chai Yunsheng smiled: "What's wrong with it?" What can an apple, something that is not worth a few dollars? ”

Feng Huanzhang didn't answer his words, and said to himself: "When my troops first arrived in Shaanxi, people and horses went to the field for military training. At that time, it was summer, this place in Shaanxi, it was cold in winter, and it was hot in summer and I couldn't wear clothes. There was a brother who couldn't stand the heat, so he went to the field and picked a watermelon from a fellow countryman. What he said, like Captain Chai, a watermelon can be worth a few dollars. What did I say at the time, Guan Ying, do you remember? ”

Liang Guanying stood up and made a military salute, "Guanying remembers." One dollar a day, one thousand days and one thousand, the rope is sawed and the wood is broken, and the water drops are worn by the stone! ”

"What did I do with that brother?"

"Rectify the Fa on the spot!"

The wine bowl fell to the ground, the coarse porcelain pieces splashed in all directions, and the mutton soup in the pot rolled and bloomed, steaming. The steel knife is pulled out of its sheath and slashes into the human body. The sound of metal clashing, shouting, yelling, and gunfire accompanied by the friction of knives and skeletal muscles echoed in the restaurant. Bright beads of blood soared in the air, fluttering, and falling into the boiling meat pot. The white broth, which is as white as snow, with red plasma, is red and white, and it is very lovely.
