Chapter 9 Liwei
It's April, and Jiujiang is now as warm as spring, but in the morning, there is still a little cold, as if at this hour, winter has not passed.
Xunyang, on the school ground, 9,000 shirtless Jiujiang soldiers, three or five people in a regiment are distributed in all corners of the school field.
"Third brother, what do you think this new Taishou Lord is crazy about? On such a cold day, why did we let us come here shirtless to suffer from the cold? A thin, looking soldier with a little childish look on his face said suspiciously to a burly veteran beside him.
For the new Lord of the Nine Rivers, everyone's hearts were full of curiosity and fear, after all, they were surrendered soldiers, who knew what kind of treatment they would receive.
"Who knows, but the new officials have three fires in office, and it is estimated that some of them have suffered." The man known as the third brother is a veteran oil, who leaned lazily against the wall at the edge of the school yard when he heard the words, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and replied without opening his eyelids: "No matter what he does, you just endure it, otherwise, if you go under the knife, no one will be able to save you at that time, our new adult, but a ruthless lord, I heard that half a year ago, he took dozens of people, and he was killed from the encirclement of Yu Wenhua and tens of thousands of troops, and even the governor of Yangzhou was beheaded by him, you can be careful." β
"That'...... Are we still considered bandits? The boy asked with some trepidation.
"What bandits are not bandits, these days, is there still a court? Not to mention the distance, I heard that Liyang was about to be captured by Du Fuwei, and the matter in front of him, Emperor Lao Tzu was stunned and ignored it, maybe with these righteous troops, it would be more promising. The third brother sneered disdainfully.
Before the young man could ask again, a rapid but rhythmic footsteps sounded, and under the escort of a team of soldiers who exuded a murderous aura, Lu Bu strode onto the platform like the stars and the moon.
"Get up, the lord is here!" Duan Yucheng, Chen Kang and Cheng Xu quickly assembled their troops, but these Sui soldiers were used to being scattered, sparsely pulled, and stood in groups of three or five, although there was a formation, but it looked scattered.
Cheng Xu glanced at Lu Bu with some embarrassment, most of them were his troops, although it was a troubled time, but after all, Yang Guang was still there, the Sui Dynasty had not completely fallen, and there was no war in Jiujiang, so he didn't train much, and now even if he wants to stand in line, without some effort, I'm afraid it won't work.
Lu Bu had no expression on his face, his cold gaze swept across the audience, and every soldier who was favored by him had a trembling feeling, and subconsciously made his posture more standard.
"You ...... It's all rubbish! Lu Bu's expressionless mouth, loud voice, resounded throughout the audience, many people nearby felt their ears tremble, nine thousand descendants, their complexions couldn't help but change, including Cheng Xu, their faces became not very good-looking.
Although most of them are soldiers, they are also dignified, in front of nine thousand people, scolding people is waste, anyone who stands in this position will not feel good in his heart, looking at Lu Bu's gaze, a trace of gloom gradually appeared.
"Not convinced?" Lu Bu raised his head arrogantly, pointed his chin at the nine thousand Sui army, with a pair of tiger eyes with a thick disdain, and said loudly: "Look at your appearance, I can't feel a trace of the temperament of a soldier from you, what qualifications do you have to be unconvinced?" β
Lu Bu exuded a terrifying momentum, his domineering eyes swept over the nine thousand people, and said in a cold voice: "Wuning battle, nine thousand people, captured by my three thousand people, don't you feel ashamed?" β
"My lord, the battle in Wuning County, it was you who ......" A soldier raised his head violently, looked directly at Lu Bu, and roared, but in the end, he didn't dare to face Lu Bu's blade-like gaze, his head lowered deeply, and he didn't have a sentence.
"What's wrong with me? With trickery? Lu Bu looked at the soldier with a sneer, and said casually: "Excuse!" It's all a fucking excuse! β
"Nine thousand, even if you are defeated, you should always be able to run, right? What were you doing!? Well? Lu Busenran looked at the soldier, his shirtless upper body, and several scars crisscrossed on his dark skin.
"Everyone, take off your armor!" Lu Bu suddenly turned his head, looked at the guards who followed him in, and shouted.
The fifty guards who followed Lu Bu were all killed from the Prison Dragon Village with Lu Bu at the beginning, and they would definitely not discount Lu Bu's words at all, and they took off the armor on their bodies neatly one by one.
"Hiss~"
In the school field, there are bursts of gasping sounds, the upper body of the man is not as moving as the woman, but at this moment, the naked first half of the life of the fifty guards deeply shocked everyone's eyeballs, the upper body exposed in the morning light, crisscrossed with countless scars, like countless earthworms, crawling all over the body, sharp-eyed, and even found that many scars are only a little distance away from the vital point, looking at these scars, you can imagine what kind of tragic battle you have experienced before.
Scars are the honor of soldiers, these fifty people can be said to have crawled out of the pile of dead people, although there are only fifty people, but in the face of the Sui army of nine thousand people, they exude a trace of beast-like aura, suppressing the momentum of more than nine thousand people in the audience.
"These brothers, all half a year ago, with me all the way out of the prison dragon mountain, they are facing ten times, a hundred times their own enemies, but without the slightest timidity, Tie Niu, the leader of the prison dragon village, the prison dragon mountain battle, beheaded the three people of the imperial court, and killed twenty-eight Sui soldiers! Hou Jie is the most ordinary thief in my prison dragon village, in the first battle of prison dragon mountain, he once single-handedly killed a thousand generals......"
As Lu Bu's footsteps moved, everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on each of the guards, and every named guard involuntarily straightened their waists, and at the same time, with an excited look on their faces, Lu Bu actually remembered everyone's exploits clearly, giving them a feeling of being valued in their hearts.
"What better word do you think would describe you than waste? Well? Lu Bu talked about everyone's exploits in detail, looked back at these Sui soldiers, and was swept by Lu Bu's gaze, each Sui army involuntarily shrank back, compared with these guards, their smooth skin, except that it was rougher and darker than women, there was nothing to be proud of.
"They are the real warriors, the real soldiers, and you! What do you have to stand out for? Robbery of people's property? Or is it oppression of the people? That's what you're a soldier for!? Every word of Lu Bu seemed to have slashed at everyone's hearts, and Cheng Xu had the heart to refute, but he couldn't find a word to refute.
"Bring it on!"
In the silence of everyone, Lu Bu suddenly turned around and shouted loudly to the back.
Immediately, under the escort of dozens of strong men, more than a dozen soldiers in dejected Sui army uniforms were dragged out like dead dogs, and Lu Bu's voice like a thousand years of cold ice rolled over the hearts of every Sui army like a boulder: "Before entering the city yesterday, I made it clear that I must not harm the poor people, otherwise there will be no mercy!" But last night, as soon as you were recruited, someone didn't listen to the order, sneaked into the house without permission, killed people and set fires, ** women! I, Lu Bu, govern the army, I have always ordered and forbidden, and I can't control others, since you were still my soldiers yesterday, then don't blame me for the ruthlessness of military law, come and enforce military law! β
"No, my lord, we know that we are wrong, spare us!" More than a dozen soldiers who were pressed to the ground turned pale in an instant when they heard this, and they struggled frantically one by one, looking at Lu Bu pleadingly, and screamed miserably, in this kind of troubled times, they basically pursued warlord doctrine, and most of the rebels have always turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, even the previous Jiujiang Taishou, for this kind of thing, rarely asked, in their opinion, Lu Bu is a bandit, the thief should have the appearance of a bandit, and finally changed his identity, so he should be like a bandit.
For Lu Bu's military orders, they are all regarded as faΓ§ade words, and few people believe it, so some people sneak into people's houses at night and plunder property, who would have thought that Lu Bu would take it seriously.
"Cheng Xu!" Lu Bu's sharp gaze fell on Cheng Xu's face.
Cheng Xu's face couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this, these soldiers were all his soldiers, maybe because of Cheng Xu's presence, so he dared to be unscrupulous, and now seeing Lu Bu's eyes on him, Cheng Xu's heart was like a tinker, and he was afraid that he would take this opportunity to clean himself up.
"The last general!" Although his heart turned for several years in an instant, he didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest, and stepped forward and arched his hand.
"These people, are all your soldiers?" Lu Bu's eyes fell on Cheng Xu's face, and he said coldly.
"Yes!" Cheng Xu's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, but he was worried in his heart.
"Then it's up to you to enforce military law!" Lu Bu took a war knife from the hand of a personal guard and threw it casually, the war knife cut a perfect arc in the air, and with a bang, it plunged deep into the ground.
Cheng Xu couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, looked at the soldiers with pleading faces, and then looked at the war knife that was deeply inserted into the ground, bit his steel teeth, shouted fiercely, pulled out the war knife with his backhand, and walked towards the soldiers who kept pleading step by step with a gloomy face.
"General, we know that we are wrong, please tell your lordship and let us go." A soldier held on to the last glimmer of hope and looked at Cheng Xu expectantly.
"Go all the way!" Cheng Xu slowly raised the sword, as if he couldn't bear to see the scene of blood splattering, he closed his eyes suddenly, the knife crossed a terrible arc in the air, and in the desperate eyes of the soldier, he cut off his head with a knife.
"Hah!"
As if he was crazy, Cheng Xu roared wildly and cut off the heads of soldiers who were pressed to the ground and couldn't move, and then threw the war knife aside, talking loudly.
"The fate of a warrior is to fight on the battlefield in blood, to use his own hands to win military merit and glory for himself, instead of coming to deceive the people, asking for money, you can, ask your enemies, ask for women, if you can snatch back the enemy's women from the battlefield, that is, ten or eight of them will be snatched back and raised, and I will never say a word of nonsense! From today on, as long as you still want to be a soldier, give me honest training, the battlefield is where men should go, don't show off your power with the people. β
Lu Bu's last sentence made the soldiers who were originally in a heavy mood have a few smiles on their faces, and then, Lu Bu, Duan Yucheng and others disrupted the original establishment of the Sui army, and the three thousand soldiers who originally followed Lu Bu became the commander and the chief respectively, as the backbone of the entire army.
"Don't be unconvinced, these people are qualified enough to lead you, if you are not convinced, you can find them to compete, whoever can win the captain, he will be the captain, if you can win the chief, the position of the chief will belong to whom, if you don't have the ability, give me to continue to be your soldier honestly!" Seeing that many people had unconvinced looks in their eyes, Lu Bu said coldly.
Although these people are not as brave as Lu Bu's personal guards, but each of them was trained by Lu Bu, and their skills are far from being comparable to the ordinary Sui army, there are a few Sui soldiers who think they have good strength trying to challenge, but they are all lying down one by one, with so many dozens of examples, the rest of the people are suddenly a lot more honest, the army is originally respected by martial arts, and in this way, all the opposition voices were immediately suppressed.
