Deng San's assembly lecture, Deng She did not go. He was afraid that he would lose control again in front of the soldiers.

Back in the yard, he ate something. The soldiers cleaned up the house, found a fairly complete mat and two quilts, lit a fire in the brazier, and asked him to rest for a while. When he closed his eyes, the child and the poor woman who had died tragically seemed to be in front of him again. He hated his repeated concessions, hated his cowardice, and he believed that he was the culprit for this tragic scene.

If I had realized this problem earlier, I would have sent someone to inspect it earlier; Going further, if I can stand my ground in the repeated robberies, and go toe-to-toe with Deng San, I will make him important and strictly restrain his subordinates. Or, what happened today wouldn't have happened.

It's time for a change. Combined with the knowledge of his past life and what he has seen and heard after the time-travel, he knows that there is a beast lurking in everyone's heart. Killing, blood, and a strong position can often make a person's animal nature overpower human nature, which is why there are many tragic tragedies in all wars in ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

Today's incident may be just an example, maybe it's just an outlet for the pressure that can't stand the pressure in a defeated situation. But if left unchecked, the situation will continue to develop. This red scarf will sooner or later become an orc. Not only does this conflict with his morals, but it also leads the army to self-destruction. It is reasonable for him to prompt Deng San to make a decision as soon as possible.

But he also knew that at the moment, the remnants of the army were newly gathered, and on the way to escape, neither Deng San nor he had established enough prestige. If military discipline is restricted, there will only be a backlash.

Now is not the time, but when is the time?

Intense self-blame and anxiety caused him to toss and turn, and he thought he would not be able to sleep. But the injury, the exhaustion, the mental fatigue after the impulsiveness, all this made him fall asleep quickly. When he woke up, the sunlight was very weak, and he woke up his soldiers who were sleeping on the ground next to the bed: "What time is it?" ”

The soldier opened his eyes in a daze, struggled to get up, and looked out the window: "It's dawn." ”

Dunshe slept for a day and a night. Adequate sleep made him energetic and strong. He got up and went to the yard to move his body carefully, most of the wounds had been closed, and they were not very painful, and they were itching uncomfortably.

He heard a noise in the kitchen, walked over and saw a woman tied up through the window. His hands and feet were tied, his mouth was stuffed with rags, and he had a tattered bedding on his body. vaguely familiar, it was the woman who was thrown to death yesterday. The woman didn't sleep, she writhed, and when she saw Dunshe, she stopped her movements and stared at him motionlessly.

"What's going on?" Deng She's mood suddenly fell.

The soldier rubbed his eyes: "The order of the old master, please dispose of her at will." ”

Deng She understood what Deng San meant, and disposition meant compensation. Deng San is giving Deng She a chance to reduce his guilt, knowing that his son is not as good as his father, although he is a father-in-law, he has seen it since he was a child, Deng San still knows Deng She very well. "It's good for everything, it's just that sometimes a little woman is ,—— your uncle, and it's stupid to read a private school when I was a child." He used to say this about Dunshe.

Deng She stayed for a long time, as if running away from the woman's hateful eyes: "When we leave, leave her some food." ”

The soldiers agreed while eating with the stolen food. There was still some meat in the meal: "Fourth Master Wen brought a dog, and he sent some to the young master last night." ”

As soon as he took two mouthfuls of food, one of Deng San's personal soldiers came on horseback. Deng San asked him to come and see if Deng Sheqi had risen, and if he got up, he would go to the ancestral hall at the head of the village and attend a military meeting.

"So early? Is it to discuss the next move? Deng She hurriedly gobbled up a few bites, grabbed a few pieces of dog meat, and distributed the rest to the soldiers.

"It's not." Deng San's soldiers said, "Yesterday afternoon, I decided to stop walking and go to Shangdu. Because the young master is still sleeping, the old master doesn't bother you. ”

"Oh?" Going to Shang is all predetermined, and Deng She is very concerned about the attitude of other people, "Do everyone else agree?" ”

Huang Qianhu was a little reluctant, but he didn't say anything. The rest of the adults have no opinion. ”

Deng She was relieved, as long as everyone has no opinions, everything is easy to do: "Then what are you doing with this meeting today?" ”

The soldiers brought the horses, and Deng She turned over and rode on, and reached out to ask for a saber and a spear. This is a habit developed in the long war, no matter where you go, the weapon is not left with you. This good habit saved his life when he was ambushed and attacked at night several times.

"This villain doesn't know either, but when he came, he listened to the old boss scolding, probably ......" Deng San's soldiers hesitated, but still continued, he felt that letting Deng She know in advance would allow him to prepare early, "A few people are making small moves behind their backs, making a fuss about the murder of the young master yesterday." ”

Predictable.

Who was instigating it in private, Dun She could guess it. He didn't speak, but gave a whip and sped up his horse. After the killing, he guessed that there was a consequence. He has no ability, and he has seen something that the ancients have never seen before. So when he was thinking about rectifying military discipline last night, he came up with a solution: a meeting to remember the bitterness.

Killing to stop killing, violence to stop violence, it will definitely not work. Most of the red scarves are from mud legs, and if they find a way to resonate with the soldiers, they can naturally understand. That was enough, the long war had transformed the soldiers from simple civilians into murderous machines, and he did not seek immediate support. He didn't have immediate support.

There were five or six people sitting in the ancestral hall, and Deng Sanma was sitting in the middle, talking about something.

On one side is Wenhua Kingdom, and on the other side the seat is empty. Further down, it is Guan Shirong, the second brother, and Luo Luo, the second brother. Li Monk Li Zijian did not sit, touching his bald head and leaning on a pillar; Brother Huang Donkey tilted his head and stared at the bird's nest in the corner of the house, as if it was more worthy of his attention than what Deng San said.

Seeing Deng She come in, Deng San stopped. Luo Guoqi was the first to stand up,—— he was the only one among all the people who stood up. His face was full of smiles, and there was a bit of diligence and concern in his smile that anyone could see: "Deng Baihu, are you okay?" The villain looks at you, and your spirit is much better. ”

Guan Shirong nodded to Deng She, and Wen Huaguo pointed to the empty chair opposite: "Sit here." ”

Brother Huang Donkey wanted to keep his posture to watch the birds, but he thought that Deng She had sent dry food at the right time when he was running for his life and starving. The dignified descendants are thousands of households, so naturally they will not take a little dry food in their eyes, but the husband's grievances are clear, not to mention that Deng She also had quite a lot of military achievements in the past, and he understands the etiquette of the upper and lower levels, so he can be regarded as a manufacturable material.

Therefore, he felt that it was inconvenient to add his dissatisfaction with Deng San to Deng She. He put down his head and smiled, indicating that he had the fairness of not engaging in joint sitting, and the loyalty of trying his best to find talents for the red scarf and promote him with the grace of Mr. Customs Declaration.

He very much hoped that Deng San could see his hard work in treating Deng She well,—— he hoped that Deng San could pay attention to etiquette like Deng She. But he was worried that Deng San's rough man's IQ couldn't see what he meant after hiding his smile, thinking of this, so he adjusted his solemn voice: "In the end, you are young, and if you recuperate, you will be alive." He accentuated his tone: "We in the Great Song Dynasty need talents like you." ”

Deng She was humble again and again, greeted them one by one, and humbly invited Brother Huang Donkey and Monk Li to sit. Brother Huang Donkey shook his hand: "You are injured, you sit." He was very satisfied with Deng She's humility, and decided to help Deng She say a few words when things were out of order for a while. Appreciating aside, they are also from a system anyway.

Monk Li snorted, stopped touching his head, straightened up, didn't look at Deng San, and only asked Deng She: "Little Deng Baihu, I guess you have heard about it." It doesn't matter if you are a hero to save the beauty, but the brothers are all panicked because of this. Four or five hundred people, if there is a trouble, I am afraid that ......" He snorted twice, refusing to finish his words, so as to leave room for Deng She's imagination and deepen his impression; Then he spread his hands and asked, "What should I do?" Do you still have a team? How do we move forward? The hearts of the people are scattered! ”

Wen Huaguo interrupted him, his voice was already loud, and at this moment, it was even louder: "Which eye did you see that people's hearts were scattered?" That dog thing should be killed! To tell you the truth, I was not present, and if I were there, I would have beaten him up to eight pieces! Luo Xiucai, you have read a book, you say, children don't let go, is this still a human being? ”

"That's right, that's right." Luo Guoqi even claimed to be.

"I respect you scholars the most, spit and smash nails, you say a fair word!" Wen Huaguo refused to let go of Luo Guoqi, hammered the nail, and insisted that he make a statement.

After all, Luo Guoqi has read the book of sages, but let Wenhua Guo force him, he can't say anything in his heart. What's more, because he offended Wang Shicheng, he usually doesn't have much intersection with Monk Li. Occasionally, when they met at military meetings, Monk Li ignored him, and some officers who tended to be inflammatory, often mocked and teased. He has no good impression of Monk Li, and he has no sense of belonging to Wang Shicheng.

Take it a step further, from his heart. He is a little biased towards Deng San, and his headquarters is dead and scattered on the way to escape. Changed Monk Li's principal, he is now a hundred households, and he must be replaced.

In the current situation, although Wang Shicheng's department accounts for the majority, there are few officers, and the soldiers are from 12 thousand troops, who are not familiar with each other, and they are a rabble. Although there are only about 40 people in Deng San's headquarters, they are united, and it can be seen from their walking and talking that all of them are heroes who have been fighting for a long time. These two sides really want to get on fire, and it's really hard to say who will kill the deer.

For various reasons, his tactfulness made him unwilling to offend any side, so he had to say: "The villain's opinion, let's still think of a way, how to deal with this share in the army,...... Ah, how to put it. This dark tide has been resolved. ”

"Dissolve? How to resolve! Monk Li was very dissatisfied with Luo Guoqi's answer, he glared at Luo Guoqi fiercely, and turned to ask Guan Shirong, "Old Guan, you say!" How can this be resolved? ”

There were all kinds of quarrels in the ancestral hall, and Guan Shirong was indifferent. He wasn't stupid, he knew that behind this was two forces fighting for the command of this patchwork defeated army. From the perspective of his background, he should support Monk Li, but what is the use? Could it be that Monk Li succeeded in fighting for power, and he could still give up the position of Qianhu to him?

Not to mention thousands of households, the position of hundreds of households, he is also indispensable. Unlike the others, he joined the army. Eight years ago, the edict opened the old road of the Yellow River, and the imperial court sent 150,000 people from Bianliang and the 13th Daimyo, and Guan Shirong and his father were among them. Back then, Liu Futong gathered the people to rise up, and Guan Shirong's clansmen also participated.

The people invited him with him. Guan Shirong's father was sixty at the time, and he just wanted to go home with his father, so he refused the clansmen. In May, the Yuan court sent 6,000 Asu troops and various Han armies to attack Liu Futong, but they were defeated. It was to kill the heads of the good people to take the risk, and the father and son of the Guan family, who were still on the way home, ran into a small group of defeated Yuan troops on the way.

Guan Shirong practiced martial arts as a young man, desperately protected his father, and escaped for his life. When I returned to the village, I saw a tragic scene after the fire. More than half of the five hundred people in the village died, and the charred, headless corpses were all over the place, including his mother, wife, and young son. Seeing such a tragic situation, his father was anxious and returned to heaven.

He has always been righteous and has prestige in the clan, and in a fit of anger, he gathered dozens of clansmen who were lucky enough to be alive and cast a red scarf. When Wenhuaguo met him, the more than 20 people he brought with him were the clansmen who had joined the army and fought together and were still alive now.

He only wanted to do his best to kill the Tartars and save the lives of the remaining clansmen. He could not let the blood of their people be cut off from his hands. Because of this, he didn't care about the open and secret battles between the two sides.

Thinking of the tragic situation in the village, he didn't think it was wrong for Deng She to kill people; Monk Li is also good, this dark tide will not work if it is not solved, he thought about it, and said in a compromise: "There is always a solution to things, Deng Baihu, do you have any way?" ”

Monk Li glanced at Deng She disdainfully, and sneered: "The milk smell is not dry, yellow-haired boy." What can he do? ”

Deng San was about to start the case, but Deng She pulled him. Looking around, Luo Guoqi's eyes were fluttering, Wen Huaguo's face was flushed, Guan Shirong was calm, and Brother Huang Donkey was watching the birds as if he was out of the way. He smiled and asked, "So, please ask Li Baihu, what is your opinion?" ”

"You go and apologize to your brothers, make a promise, and don't make an example. That's not it. "Monk Li has long been unaccustomed to Deng San, Deng She's father and son, Deng San is a big official, and he endured it if he grabbed the command; But Deng San shouldn't have told him to fish in the river in the cold in front of hundreds of brothers! The monk also knows that a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated.

five hundred households, three Yunnei Wang Shicheng Department; Of the more than 400 soldiers, nine-tenths of them were his own. Even with the defeat of Brother Huang Donkey's 100 remnants, he firmly believes that Deng San is by no means his opponent.

He sneered twice, and then said, "Of course, young man, thin-skinned. If you don't want to, Uncle has a solution. The position of your 100 households, just change people! ”

"What about the location of this thousand households?" Deng She was aggressive, and then asked.

Dunshe's humility comes from the education of a previous life; When faced with a problem that cannot be solved with humility, he will also have the ruthlessness he learned from Deng San in this murderous and bloody era. It's like facing a box, he will use the key first; The key couldn't be opened, and he still had a hammer, so he simply broke it all at once.

In addition, he asked this question with another purpose. He wants to pull the yellow donkey brother who stayed out of the matter into it.

Monk Li really jumped into the trap: "I didn't want to say it, since you asked." I've always been straight and fast-talking, and I think it's time for someone else! ”

Brother Huang Donkey's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly hooked his head to look at Monk Li.

"Li Baihu, look, who is in this right position?"

"It's a long way to go up, and it's a long way to go. The head goose flies forward, the uncle is not talented, and he has only one ability, to recognize the way. The implication is that the position of the head goose is him.

"It is not only the head goose that knows the way." Brother Huang Donkey rolled his eyes to look at the birds for the third time, what is it, it is also worthy of robbing thousands of households; I'd rather Deng San come to be the one than Wang Shicheng's subordinates, he said unhurriedly, "There are still old horses that can't move things." ”

Monk Li burst out of anger, Deng San laughed, Guan Shirong Wan'er, Luo Guoqi tensed his face and forced a smile. Wen Huaguo applauded loudly: "Huang Qianhu said well! ”

When the goal was achieved, Deng She took advantage of the situation to withdraw his troops, and he stood up: "Dad, Huang Qianhu, all hundred, I have an idea." ”

——

1. Asu Army: During the Mongol expedition to the west, they brought the Persian-speaking tribe Asu people in the area of the present-day Caucasus. The Asu people have many blue eyes and curly hair, and are called "green-eyed Huihui" (the eyes are green, and the status in the fourth rank of the Yuan is higher than that of the black-eyed Han people), known as the hussars, good at riding and shooting, and the army formed by them is called the Asu army.

"History of the Yuan": In May, the sun is eclipsed, and the Yingzhou demon Liu Futong and Du Zundao, Luo Wensu, Sheng Wenyu, Wang Xianzhong, and Han Yan'er revert to the drum and the demon, saying that the eighth grandson of Huizong of the Song Dynasty is the master of China. For chaos, with the red scarf as the number, trap Yingzhou. Ordered to know the Privy Council, the bald red led 6,000 Asu troops and the Han army to ask for it, and awarded the Privy Council seal.

The bald one, the Hui people, the Su number is fierce, good at riding and shooting, and he marched with Xu Zuocheng of Henan Province. The two generals were drunk, but the sergeants took plundering as a thing, and the party of arrest was careless. Seeing the size of the Red Army, he raised his whip and said: Abu, Abu. Abu, the translation of the words is also gone, so all the departments are gone, and the Huai people are said to be laughing. Later, Bald Chi died in Shangcai, Xu Zuocheng was punished by the imperial court, and the Asu army did not learn about water and soil, and more than half of the people died of illness.
