Chapter Thirty-Six: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
The brothers of the Black Feather Crow didn't know how much expectation Old Man Zang placed on them, and they didn't know that in the eyes of Old Man Zang, they would definitely be the pillars of the Han Dynasty in the future, but after Zhang Huang's words, after they put their mentality right, they didn't feel how much shame they had to be a big soldier in the Guangling military barracks with their unique skills.
What's more, they also heard that there were many rebel armies in Guangling County vying to recommend themselves, and they were willing to join the side of the Guangling Army and fight against Xu Zhao, the demon master from Huiji and the Yangming Emperor of Wuyue State.
Compared with those Guangling Volunteers who joined the Guangling Army for free but did not receive the slightest military salary subsidy, and even had to provide their own rations, Li Tong and the others suddenly felt much more balanced in their hearts. The only regret is that before the wanted warrant is removed, they can't hold high the name of the Black Feather Crow as a rebel army, and they can't take this opportunity to make the Black Feather Crow famous, so they can only be an ordinary Guangling sergeant.
But their previous complaints had already been heard by the soldiers in the same tent. It's just that those soldiers are not local soldiers, but veterans drawn from various counties and counties in Yangzhou, and they don't have much affection for the Guangling military camp, so they didn't bother with Zhang Huang and them.
may be in the eyes of that group of veterans, Zhang Huang, a group of complaining bunnies, is just a group of recruits who are ambitious but have no real skills.
This kind of person, once on the battlefield, will always die the fastest!
In this way, Zhang Huang and the others have long been regarded as dead people by the Yangzhou veterans in the same military tent, so no one has come to teach these unscrupulous imps a lesson.
"Whew-"
The tent of the tent was lifted, and a cool breeze poured in, and a strong man with the rank of chief walked in, and after glancing at the veterans with different expressions in the tent, he said in a deep voice, "I am the chief Lu Min, from today on, I Lu Min is ordered to take charge of the tent of a hundred people, and you and others are all soldiers under me!" β
Before Lu Min entered the tent, there were still many people chatting in the tent, including Zhang Huang and others, but now, the whole tent was silent, and those veterans were silent, looking at the chief Lu Bo coldly, which made the atmosphere in the tent suddenly become cold.
[So these are soldiers from other counties?] ]
After Uncle Lu Min's words, Zhang Huang instantly captured some important information. With what he thought of, there was also a thoughtful Shan Fu.
"Do you have something to say?!" Uncle Commander Lu Min glanced at the hundred soldiers in the tent with fierce eyes as if they were murderous, including Zhang Huang and others.
Chen didn't know what to do, and asked in a low voice of confusion, "What is he doing here?" Aren't you your own? Why do you have a fierce expression? β
Shan Fu sneered and said in a low voice, "The so-called three fires of the new official, if you don't show that you are stronger, how can you tame those veterans from other counties?" In the army, they are all unruly masters. β
Chen nodded naturally.
However, Shan Fu's sneer seemed to be heard by Lu Min, and he saw his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes as sharp as a sword suddenly swept to the corner where Zhang Huang and the others were.
"Who's laughing? Who's talking? Is that you? Lu Min glared at Shan Fu viciously, and said in a threatening tone, "Do you have something to say?" β
Tai Shici, Zang Ba, Li Tong, Chen Zhi and others were a little unhappy when they saw this, after all, they were also the brothers of the Black Feather Crow, and Shan Fu was scolded by others, and they were not happy in their hearts. And just when they were about to say something, they saw Zhang Huang stretch out his hand to stop everyone, and said with a smile, "My brothers are all looking forward to Lu Bo's long horse!" β
"......" Lu Min was stunned, the fierce expression on his face was also stunned for a moment, and after glancing at Zhang Huang thoughtfully, his tone slowed down slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then shut up, don't make a noise!" After speaking, he turned his head away and ignored Zhang Huang and the others.
"Why is the boss giving him face like this?" Li Tong asked in a puzzled whisper.
Zhang Huang chuckled, lowered his voice and said, "This uncle is clearly planning to stand up, why should we be strong and be that 'chicken'?" β
"What chicken?" Chen Zhi's face was full of puzzlement.
Seeing that Chen Zhi didn't understand, Shan Fu took over the conversation, lowered his voice and explained, "Don't you understand how to kill chickens and monkeys? This time, the demon master Xu Zhao led his troops to attack, and most of the old man Zang was transferred from other counties to support Guangling, and this Lu Min was obviously one of the military attaches sent by the Guangling Army to take over this army. However, I didn't know that the veterans in the tent would obey him, so the best way to take charge of this hundred-person account was to find a thorn to be the chicken, killing the chicken and making an example of the monkey! To put it simply, it is to get off the horse, so that you can go to the battlefield in the future, and we won't listen to what he says. The leader stopped you, just to tell you not to do thankless things, but he was assigned by the Guangling army, what good is it to quarrel with him for no reason? β
"Oh." Chen Zhi nodded in realization.
"......" I don't know if I heard Shan Fu's whispered explanation to Chen Zhi, Lu Min turned his head slightly and looked at Zhang Huang a few more times, but the response he got was Zhang Huang's smile on his face, which made the ferociousness on his face seem a little far-fetched, as if he also wanted to show a smile in response, but he had to pretend to be fierce because of something.
Punish someone as a warning to others......
In fact, I am afraid that most of the people in this hundred-person tent know this truth, but the question is, it is clear and clear, and whether they are willing to obey the orders of this Uncle Lu Min in their hearts is another matter.
Shan Fu is right, there are many unruly and bloody men in the army, and these people only serve superior military attachΓ©s whose fists are bigger than them and harder than them, which is a common problem in most armies in the world.
No, after hearing Lu Min's words, many veterans showed a playful look in their eyes.
Among them, a burly veteran said disdainfully, "What to scare?" We're not the rookie soft-ass who don't understand anything, and we're just scared by a few words from you...... Still Lu Bochang? Let's just listen to the ...... of Chen County, who is away from the county."
Before the words fell, another young veteran in his twenties also said with disdain, "Uncle? A temporarily appointed uncle, what is arrogant? If it's not for the big battle coming up, who knows what you've been up to? β
This person is right, there are official establishments in the Han Dynasty, in fact, there are only a few armies, most of these armies are stationed in important positions all year round, such as the border gates of the national border, and in general, local counties and counties are not allowed to store any organized army according to the regulations, unless there is an emergency, the army can be temporarily formed.
Take this rebellion of the demon master Xu Zhao as an example, the old assassin Shi Zang Min drew city guards from the county towns and counties in Yangzhou, gathered here to form a temporary army, and also temporarily appointed military attaches at all levels. If the thieves are pacified in the future, this army will still be disbanded, and the sergeants of the army will also be restored to their former status as county soldiers in various places after receiving rewards from the imperial court. Although there are all kinds of disadvantages in this, but there is no way, this is the tradition of the Han Dynasty, and the current situation of the Han Dynasty is still strong in Luoyang and weak in the locality, rather than the situation in which the imperial court will issue an amnesty order in the future and the local heroes will support the army and respect themselves.
It is precisely because of this that this group of veterans from various counties and counties in Yangzhou will not take Lu Min seriously, God knows what kind of character this Lu Min was before he was appointed as the chief, whether he would be better than their Chen County Cheng, Li County Lieutenant or some other old chief.
On the other hand, this is also the purpose of Uncle Lu Min to make an example of the monkey here, to take charge of an unfamiliar force, and speaking with his fists is the best way.
"You, you, you and you, come out!" Lu Min raised his hand and pointed to the heads of a few soldiers who took the lead.
The people who were pointed at by his finger also realized it, and stood up one by one with a sneer, and faintly surrounded Lu Min. Most of the time, this kind of takeover is not a matter of being inferior to a soldier, so this group of veterans is not afraid of being dealt with by military law. They were just testing whether the new commander was qualified to lead them, so what was the matter? Who wants to be led by a scumbag?
Therefore, instead of blocking them, the other soldiers in the tent clapped their hands and shouted to cheer for the veterans who challenged the uncle, but it was Zhang Huang and others who retreated that made the veterans look down on them.
Facts have proved that since Lu Min can serve as the chief of the uncle, the grassroots military attache who is the main force on the battlefield, his strength should not be underestimated, he just stood there, let those veterans punch and kick him, stunned without blinking, as if those fists filled with whirring wind were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
But then again, it's really not worth mentioning, because the fists of those soldiers can't hurt Lu Min at all, and the fists they hit on Lu Min's body seem to be hitting a hard stone, making a thumping sound, and after a few punches, look at their fists, and then those veterans find that their fists are red, and one of them even wears out the skin, faintly revealing blood.
[Rigid Body ......]
Zhang Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, in fact, he instinctively felt that Lu Min was similar in strength to Ma Yan, the governor of Taishan County, and now seeing this scene, it just verified his idea.
"That's all it takes?" Sneering and pursing his lips, Lu Min glanced at the veterans with disdain, banged a few times, punched and kicked down the veterans who challenged his majesty almost instantly, which shocked the veterans who were still applauding in the tent.
In a burst of wailing, Lu Min stepped on the chest of a fallen veteran, scanned the entire tent with fierce eyes, and said coldly, "Who else is not convinced?" β
The veterans who were swept by his fierce eyes subconsciously lowered their heads.
Lu Min snorted coldly with satisfaction, and inadvertently turned his head to look at the corner of Zhang Huang and the others, only to see the young boys tilting their heads and looking at him with surprised expressions, while Zhang Huang still had the smiling expression of Fang Cai.
[These little ghosts......]
Lu Min was a little surprised that the little ghosts in the corner didn't seem to be intimidated by his strength, especially the kid who looked like the head of the head who had just spoken, and looked at him with a smile on his face, as if this guy had already known that he Lu Min would beat up the disobedient veterans in the tent and make an example of them.
[This kid is a little wicked......]
Lu Min muttered in his heart, and after frowning and looking at Zhang Huang a few times, he didn't care. With a cold snort, he raised his foot and let go of the veteran soldier at his feet, and said coldly, "Since you don't speak, then remember it for me!" From today on, I, Lu Min, am the leader of your bunch of rabbits, whether it is a drill or a battlefield in the future, whoever wants to embarrass the twenty-six accounts of my first army, I will pick his guy who eats and drinks! β
At this moment, Lu Min's prestige was no longer the time to enter the military tent just now, and with a heavy shout, the soldiers in the tent were stunned and did not dare to resist.
"Dumb?" Lu Min roared.
"Yes...... It's ......" was yelled, and all the soldiers in the tent spoke out one after another.
"Humph! A bunch of uncleaned bunnies! With a cold snort, Lu Min took a breath and said in a slow tone, "Okay, next, Uncle Ben wants to select ten people from your group of guys to serve as the ten chiefs of the twenty-sixth account of my First Army, do you have anyone to recommend yourself?" β
may have been frightened by Lu Min's force, and the nearly 100 veterans in the tent lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
[Not a single one?] Did I just go too far? ]
Lu Min muttered a little depressedly, and at this time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Huang in the corner and raised his right hand.
[This kid ......]
Lu Min took a deep look at the corner where Zhang Huang and the others were, because that group of boys was the only one in the tent who did not challenge his uncle's prestige, and he was not frightened by his strength afterwards.
[Most of these imps have some skills.] ]
Secretly speaking, Lu Min nodded, pointed at Zhang Huang and said, "Okay, Uncle Ben will appoint you as the chief!" The four of you go over. As he spoke, he casually pointed to four veterans who didn't dare to speak, complementing Zhang Huang's team of ten. After all, there were ten people, including Shi Chang, and Zhang Huang and them were only six people.
The veterans in the tent raised their heads when they heard this, and looked at Zhang Huang and them with surprised and stunned eyes, after all, Zhang Huang and the others had just shown weakness, but it was quite something that they looked down on.
However, due to the presence of Lu Min, the terrible uncle, they did not dare to attack, and after thinking about each other, nine burly and sturdy veterans were elected to serve as the chief, and among them, three were veterans who had just been knocked to the ground by Lu Min.
"Ten of you are the chief of the twenty-six tents of my army, and each of you may appoint two more captains to serve as your deputies, and I will come to the tent again before the sun goes down today, and you will report to the chief of this book at that time. That's it, disbanded! With a sharp wave of his hand, Lu Min lifted the tent and walked out.
I didn't do anything from beginning to end, I just watched a good show, but I got the benefits of one chief and two chiefs in vain, and even Zhang Huang felt that this thing was incredible and a little funny.
However, the other veterans in the tent didn't see it that way, if they had no conflict of interest, they would naturally not deal with Zhang Huang's group of open-mouthed imps, but at this time, since Zhang Huang snatched a position from them for nothing, it would be another matter.
[A few little ghosts who haven't grown all their hair, soft eggs who don't have the slightest guts, why should they be long?] ]
Some veterans who had not become the chief of the bureau, after glancing at each other, invariably gathered around, and even the four veterans assigned to Zhang Huang by Uncle Lu Min also glanced at the six imps who were not worth mentioning in his eyes with disdain.
"Boy, if you know each other, give up the position of the chief!" A veteran in his thirties threatened with a fierce look. This person is also one of the several veterans who challenged Lu Min, although he did not get a long position, but he was recognized by the soldiers in the tent.
No, as soon as his words fell, dozens of veterans from all over Yangzhou behind him echoed their words.
As for why Zhang Huang gave up the position of the chief, firstly, this group of veterans looked down on Zhang Huang's group of weak imps, and secondly, Zhang Huang's chief was a bit special, because he was the first chief appointed by Lu Min. According to the rules of the ranks, the first subordinate to be appointed is the deputy of the superior by default. In other words, if LΓΌ Min was not there, Zhang Huang had the right to order this group of soldiers, including the other nine chiefs.
It was precisely because of this that after the nine chiefs found out that someone was challenging Zhang Huang, instead of stopping them, they motioned to the people in the team to help with their eyes and put pressure on Zhang Huang and the others.
Faced with the threat of these people, Zhang Huang smiled helplessly, shook his head and muttered, "It's really not good to learn...... Remember to eat and not remember! β
"I'm coming!" Clenched his fists and pinched the bones until they crackled, and Li Tong walked out from behind Zhang Huang.
[What a haughty boy!] ]
The veterans were furious when they saw this, but they were angry early, because there were others who were more arrogant than Li Tong.
"A few of you come here, too!" Walking out from behind Zhang Huang's body, pointing his finger at the nine chiefs, Chen Zhi licked his lips, hooked his fingers and said playfully, "Let's go together, let's fight quickly!" β
[Bunny ......]
When the veterans heard this, they were furious, and even the nine veterans who had planned to respect their identities couldn't bear it, their eyes were cold, and they slowly pushed aside everyone and walked up.
"How many of you? Brother who wants to single out my account? β
"I don't know how thick the sky is!"
Facing the angry scolding of the soldiers, Tai Shi Ci and Zang Ba glanced at each other, and also walked up, Tai Shi Ci chuckled and said, "Be safe, let's have four of us." When he said this, he obviously excluded Zhang Huang and Shan Fu.
After all, Zhang Huang is the leader of their Black Feather Crow, and if the boss has to take action in person, it would be too embarrassing for them to be brothers. As for Shan Fuma, because he himself doesn't admit it, but it is undeniable that he is the weakest one of the Black Feather Crows at present.
"Bunny!" Seeing that the four little ghosts did not take them seriously, the soldiers in the tent were so angry that their eyes were red, they rolled up their sleeves, and rushed up without saying a word. This is definitely not a competition for military positions with martial arts, this is clearly a brawl in the army, and 94 veterans beat Zhang Huang and six others.
"Ping-Pong-"
The 26 tents of the First Army were in a ball, causing the passing soldiers in the barracks to stop and look.
An uncle surnamed Wang, who seemed to have a good relationship with Lu Min, passed by, glanced at the military tent in surprise, and muttered, "Twenty-six tents of the first army, isn't that the military tent that Lao Lu took over?" Hit so hard? β
Muttering, the tent was lifted, and Zhang Huang and Shan Fu walked out chatting.
"I don't know what kind of dishes are in the barracks today."
"The inside of the barracks is not as good as the outside, and it is very hard, and Xiao Sheng thinks that the leader should not expect too much. Oh no, I should call Mr. Shi now, hehe. β
"Hehe, no matter how hard it is, it won't be worse than the food given to us by trillions, right?"
"That's right...... Xiao Sheng thinks we have to find a way to take back the financial power from the trillion-dollar guy. β
"Isn't that a trillion-year-old life?"
"Hey!"
Zhang Huang and Shan Fu walked past Wang Bochang with a smile, and also saluted Wang Bochang during the period, and Wang Bochang's expression was stunned.
[These two imps...... Is it all right? ]
Just when Uncle Wang was stunned, the twenty-six tents had become quiet, but he vaguely heard a wailing and screaming from the tent.
[Didn't so-and-so knock down all the soldiers in one tent?] Lao Lu has done too much! If those soldiers are seriously wounded, how will they fight in the future? ]
Wang Bochang frowned, and was about to enter the account to persuade Lu Min's subordinates to show mercy, when he suddenly saw the tent lifted, and four little ghosts who seemed to be less than twenty walked out shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a good fight."
"Not really! By the way, I have thirty, right? β
"Fart! I'll count it for you, twenty-two at most. Do you know the bottom? Xuangao and Ziyi combined have almost seventy ......"
"Will they be angry? I'm just learning ......."
"It's all brothers, what are you fighting for, it's the right thing to catch up with the boss and Dafu."
"Ziyi is right, let's hurry."
The four of them said that they crossed Wang Bochang and chased after Zhang Huang and Shan Fu, which made Wang Bochang's expression even more strange.
"Old Lu? Old Lu? It's almost ......."
Lifting the tent and poking his head out, Uncle Wang was just about to say the words of persuasion, and suddenly, his eyes suddenly changed.
I saw that in these twenty-six tents, the ground was full of soldiers wailing and screaming, and a rough count showed that there were nearly a hundred.
Wang Bochang subconsciously turned his head and looked at the back of Li Tong and the others who were gradually moving away.
[Six people...... No, it's four! The imps...... It only took four people to pick a soldier for an account?! ]
Uncle Wang gasped in shock.
