Luoyang to Yingchuan, first through the Tiger Pass, the road is thousands of miles long. The army was 300 miles a day, and the time on the road was more than ten days.

So a big war in ancient times could last for years.

The Northern Army is elite and very well-built. The march is not a problem. Along the way, the queue was well organized and morale was good.

But it hurt the soldiers under Zhang Shuang.

From daytime to noon, after walking one or two hundred miles, he was almost tired and lying down.

Fortunately, the time was almost up, and Zhu Jun ordered to bury the pot to make rice, so he didn't get completely tired.

"Captain, I think we've walked around the Ghost Gate." Dian Wei found an opportunity and said to Zhang Shuang secretly.

"Yes, He Jin is poisonous, if we don't eliminate the old and weak, we will definitely not be able to go down this way. When the time comes, if the fighter plane is delayed, you and I will die. ”

Zhang Shuang was also rejoicing.

Immediately, it was time to bury the pot and make rice. Quartermasters uniformly mobilize food and distribute it according to the number of troops in each battalion. Zhang Shuang's army claimed to be 800 people, and he got 800 portions of food.

In fact, Zhang Shuang's army was only about four hundred and fifty people.

This extra food is Zhang Shuang's own.

"It's no wonder that many people have to eat empty salaries, and they can make a small profit with one meal." After Zhang Shuang and Dian Wei took the food from the quartermaster, they were happy and said with a smile.

"Captain, don't be kidding. What to do in the next fight. Dian Wei couldn't laugh and shouted.

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge." Zhang Shuang said with a smile.

The southern expedition was 15,000 troops, with 12 battalions of soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses in other battalions only have rice, but Zhang Shuang wants to kill pigs and sheep. After killing the pigs, cooking is very simple.

Just put water and salt in the pot, then put a small piece of pork and cook.

For Zhang Shuang, this meal was very unpalatable. But for the soldiers under his command, it is full of fragrance. After the march, physical exertion makes them hungrier.

One by one, they watched as the pork was cooked, and then devoured the rice.

After a while, the soldiers were well fed and regained a lot of energy.

Zhang Shuang looked at the soldiers and said to Dian Wei with relief: "Although this march is hard, I believe that when they arrive at Yingchuan, the soldiers should also have cultivated good physical strength." ”

"Walking all day long, eating meat, if you don't grow your physical strength. See if I don't smoke them to death. Dian Wei rolled his eyes.

"Huh!" Zhang Shuang smiled.

Zhang Shuang, Dian Wei is his own family knows his own affairs, and he is just happy in the bitterness. Killing pigs and sheep is a loss-making business.

But the treatment of the soldiers was real.

Although the soldiers and horses of the twelve battalions each opened up some distance, they were not far apart. The meat is full of flavor and wafts very far.

Some of the camps adjacent to Zhang Shuang smelled the smell of meat.

An individual battalion soldier, looking at the white rice in his bowl. Rotten vegetable leaves, and then smell the smell of meat wafting out from Zhang Shuang's side. Suddenly, saliva flowed.

"Which general is that? What a generous attitude. ”

"It's the same battlefield fighting, but they have meat to eat, and they are so envious of it."

The soldiers talked a lot, envy and jealousy.

These things have violated the taboos of other generals.

A battalion of soldiers and horses adjacent to Zhang Shuang's battalion, the general's surname is Wu, the official position is Yongyi Captain, and there are 1,000 soldiers and horses under his command. He heard the envy and jealousy of his own soldiers, and felt very harsh.

"Although it is said in the book of war, it is good to raise soldiers. But now in this world, everyone is like a bird. He did a good job, and we were incompetent. ”

Fang Wu said hatefully.

"The captain is very upset to look at him?" Sima in the camp asked with a smile.

Sima in the camp is Fang Wu's confidant, and he is a little clever in ordinary times. When Fang Wu heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Is there a plan?" ”

"Huh!" Sima in the camp smiled, then looked at Zhang Shuang's first battalion, and said, "The villain heard that there are 800 soldiers and horses in his camp. But on visual inspection, there are only four or five hundred people, and the physical strength seems to be insufficient. ”

"General Zhu has a strong personality and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Shall we participate in one of his empty salaries? Fang Wu said excitedly.

"How can a man who eats empty wages kill pigs and sheep for his soldiers?" Sima in the camp shook his head.

"Then how do you join him?" Fang Wu wondered.

"Now that the national crisis is at hand, General Zhu is bent on sweeping away the yellow scarves and returning the world to a prosperous future. The most taboo thing is that its own combat strength is insufficient. No matter what the reason, Zhang Shuang is short of soldiers. For the impact of the war, there is absolutely it. We'll make a small report. Even if he doesn't die, he has to shed his skin. ”

Sima in the camp said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll immediately go to General Zhu's side and report." Fang Wu's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about eating, so he turned over and got on the horse and went to the place where Zhu Jun stayed.

"Da Da Da!"

Zhang Shuang had just eaten half of the meal, tried to chew a piece of pork, and ate half an egg, when there was a sound of horses' hooves. A herald came on horseback.

"But Captain Zhang is in front?" The herald saluted.

"Exactly. Can General Zhu have an order to pass down? Zhang Shuang hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said with a correct attitude.

"General, please go and see him." Herald the soldiers.

"Let's go." The military order was like a mountain, Zhang Shuang immediately ordered Dian Wei to bring the war horse, turn over the horse, and go to see Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun's main battalion had more soldiers and horses, with 3,000 people. The black pressed people gathered around to eat, and the scene was very spectacular. After Zhang Shuang arrived, he dismounted and walked to see Zhu Jun near the center.

Zhu Jun's face was a little ugly, and his eyes flashed with anger. Seeing this, Zhang Shuang's heart tightened, but he saluted on his face: "The general summoned the last general to come, do you have any orders?" ”

"I heard Captain Fang say that you have less than 800 soldiers and horses??? And extremely poor physical strength? Zhu Jun's voice was a little high, and his eyes were sharp, like a sword.

"Fang Wu ??!"

Zhang Shuang was stunned for a moment, then remembered that there was such a person among his colleagues, and he couldn't help but hate it in his heart. But now is not the time to care about these, Zhang Shuang thought about it for a moment, and pondered that Zhu Jun has a strong personality, and his confession may be lenient, and his quibbles are worse. So he said: "General Huiyu, that's exactly the case. ”

"The Son of Heaven personally ordered you to lead 800 soldiers, the non-commissioned officers of the Northern Army, and all the elites. When it comes to you, there are only four or five hundred people left, and their physical strength is extremely poor. What the hell did you do? Zhu Jun's voice suddenly rose and his voice was full of violent. A killing intent rushed straight in.

For the momentum of the general, Zhang Shuang experienced it for the first time.

The majestic aura made Zhang Shuang slightly uncomfortable. But Zhang Shuang knows that if one answer is wrong, it will not only be uncomfortable. It's about hitting the head.

Military law, military law is definitely not a joke.

So, Zhang Shuang took a deep breath and said as little as possible without being humble or arrogant: "General Hui, the last general had some holidays with the great general He Gong, and the eight hundred people he got were old, weak, sick and disabled. In the end, the old and weak will be eliminated, and more than 400 people will be killed. The last general also knew that the national crisis was at hand now, and he did not dare to slack off. He scattered his wealth, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and replenished his strength for the soldiers. The last general will never dare to disobey the yang and the yin. ”

The murderous aura in the sky suddenly converged.

Zhang Shuang knew that the head of the master had been saved, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have a holiday with He Jin, and everyone knows about it. It's understandable. But the combat power is insufficient, but it is real. Did you know that on the battlefield, if there is a difference of ten people, the whole army may be wiped out? What's more, there are more than 300 people missing? Zhu Jun's voice was still cold.

"The last will be convicted!" Zhang Shuang admitted his mistake.

"Death is avoidable, but living sin is inescapable. I will set an example against you by striking you twenty sticks. Zhu Jun's eyes were as bright as wind and frost, and he was very cold.

"Come, take off his armor. Beat! ”

Without waiting for Zhang Shuang to confess, Zhu Jun ordered.

"No."

The people on the left and right agreed loudly, and they both set up Zhang Shuang.

"General, you must know that soldiers can be killed, not humiliated." Zhang Shuang was surprisingly calm and said.

"Hmph, I hate literati the most. and ten rods, and thirty rods. Zhu Jun sneered, his authority was incomparable.

"No."

Take off Zhang Shuang's armor left and right and press it to the ground. Lux took the torture stick and slapped it on Zhang Shuang's ass.

A wrestler in the army, his strength is amazing.

Thirty sticks, even if it is beaten on the buttocks, ordinary people are unbearable. Although Zhang Shuang is in good health, he is not an extremely strong person. In just a moment, the skin and flesh bloomed, and sweat the size of beans came out.

"Unexpectedly, I just took the first step and led the troops to kill the yellow turbans. I was beaten on the board for some reason. Ha ha. But well played, well played. Because it made me more aware of the importance of holding military power. If I am in a high position, Fang Wu can dare to make a small report? What can Zhu Jun endure me? ”

"This revenge will definitely be revenged!"

Zhang Shuang lowered his head deeply and hid his anger.

After thirty strokes, Zhang Shuang passed out.

When Zhang Shuang woke up, it was already dark. He was lying on his stomach on a baggage cart, wrapped in a quilt.

Zhang Shuang's first feeling was the hot pain in his buttocks. The second feeling is that the mouth is very thirsty.

"Someone." Zhang Shuang said weakly.

"Your Excellency." Dian Wei was nearby, and when he heard the call, he immediately rushed to it. handed over a bamboo tube and personally fed Zhang Shuang water.

"Refreshing!" Zhang Shuang swallowed the cold water in one gulp and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you're still laughing." Dian Wei's eyes were full of anger and murderous aura.

"Why can't you laugh?" Zhang Shuang said with a smile.

"You've been hit with a wrench for no reason. Since following your lordship, you have been in and out of the residences of celebrities and gentlemen, and the people who invite you are high-ranking officials. How could he have ever been insulted like this? Dian Wei said hatefully.

Dian Wei is loyal, and Zhang Shuang has always treated him well. At this moment, it is natural to empathize.

Zhang Shuang believes that if Dian Wei can receive this wrench on his behalf, he will definitely help to resist it.

"I'll look for an opportunity to attack him." Zhang Shuang said.

"I'll be the first to get on." Dian Wei said.

Dian Wei didn't ask Zhang Shuang how he attacked and killed a general with 15,000 elite soldiers with 400 people, and he didn't consider the consequences of failing to attack.

Zhang Shuang smiled, very happy.

"Dian Wei." Zhang Shuang said.

"What's wrong, sir?" Dian Wei hurriedly said.

"I'm hungry, I'm going to eat mutton, and I'm going to get me a bowl of egg soup." Zhang Shuang said with a smile.

"Okay." Dian Wei responded quickly.

Soon after, Zhang Shuang had a full meal and continued to sleep. Like a snake coiled up, it does not move or scream, but waits for the opportunity.
