400 The rebels are still bandits

Du Zong was left by me to talk because he cowered when he charged on the battlefield. He then tried to bribe me, and I scolded him.

I did want to remove Du Zong, but then I calmed down and thought about it, and I felt that it was inappropriate: I had just arrived, and I was going to replace my subordinate leaders immediately, and I was afraid that my superiors would question my leadership ability, and they might not approve it. And Du Zong is very thick-skinned, and it is estimated that he will not take the initiative to resign. Don't embarrass yourself if you can't get off the stage when the time comes.

Among the several commanders under me, Du Zong's personal strength is the worst, but he is actually okay with the troops and the soldiers in peacetime. In my eighth battalion, most of them are recruits, and most of the even commanders are also novices, and Du Zong's military experience happens to be what I lack the most at present. Why don't I take this opportunity to give him a beating, and maybe he'll be of use to me?

Alas, forget it! I was just angry just now, and I still have to have the amount of tolerance!

Later, when cleaning the battlefield and counting the seizures, I saw more than a dozen ** in the ghost bandits' arsenal, so I had a plan. I found Wang Song and directly asked him to assign these ** to me for use. Because I "generously" gave up my share of the spoils before, Wang Song and Gan Sheng had a very good impression of me and readily agreed.

I see that Du Zong often wears a dark iron wrench in his hand, and in addition to being able to use swords and shields, he can usually shoot bows and arrows. After I asked for this batch of **, I simply equipped it with this Shi soldier led by Du Zong, and let them serve as crossbowmen, responsible for providing some long-range firepower as a supplement to the troops in my battalion.

In this way, the crossbowmen led by Du Zong were basically located in the rear of the eighth battalion when charging and fighting, and the safety factor was greatly increased in comparison.

Du Zong was overjoyed by such an arrangement, kept thanking me, and said a lot of loyal words, and in the end, he was simply grateful!

I was a little disgusted to hear it, so I warned sternly, "Okay! If you flatter or slap on the back, you can quickly hold back for me, I don't eat this! As long as you listen to my command when you fight in the future, you can do your best! ”

"Definitely! Certain! Du Zong was relieved, gave me a standard upright posture, and shouted: "There is no retribution for my humble duties, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

After cleaning up the battlefield, we stuffed the captured ghost prisoners and bandit capitals into special containers for ghosts, loaded the captured loot on the back of the big snail, and finally burned the bandits' nest to the ground. The red light of the fire reflected the entire underground cave, and the night tour army led by Gan Sheng triumphantly returned to the city.

Back in the town of spades, the townspeople who had already received the news of the victory poured into the streets to welcome us. They cheered and applauded, and were entertained with food and wine. This gang of ghost bandits has been invading the town of spades for a long time, making the people's lives miserable, and we wiped out all the ghost bandits so cleanly, the people naturally cheered, and some even danced and sang songs to celebrate.

Wherever our army recruits have experienced such a scene, their hearts are full of glory and excitement. Gan Sheng also complied with the army's will and gave all the soldiers a day off to accept the hospitality of the people, as long as they did not leave the town of spades without permission.

The mayor of the town did what he promised, and organized a feast to entertain us officers with a sumptuous celebration even more than before. Not to mention the abundance of dishes, good wine is definitely enough!

The town of spades is rich in fruits, and the variety of wines produced from this is also diverse, each with its own characteristics. Shen Turen almost had to taste every kind of wine and drink a jar to enjoy it, and he also pulled everyone to guess the fist fight wine with him, and drank it happily.

At the end of the drink, the mayor took out a box and handed it to Gan Sheng in front of everyone, and said to him: "General Gan, this is two thousand Yin Yuan, so it should be used as a thank you gift from Spade to the general and all the soldiers!" ”

Gan Sheng's face was a little embarrassed. This thank you gift was what he instructed Wang Song to ask for, and he originally wanted to fill his pocket when he came back. But now that the mayor took it out in front of everyone, and bluntly said that it was for the whole army, it would be difficult for Gan Sheng to swallow it alone.

He has already swallowed most of the spoils in the treasure trove of the bandits, and if he still refuses to share these thank-you gifts, I'm afraid his subordinates will really fall out!

As a last resort, Gan Sheng had no choice but to call Wang Song and instruct him to distribute the two thousand Yin Yuan to the officers of the Shi Chang level. After the night tour, there were about 100 commanders in the army, and after the average score, there were only about 20 of each of them. This can only be regarded as money to buy candy to eat and use it to gag the mouths of the chiefs, and the soldiers at the bottom will definitely still have a lot of complaints.

Three days after the feast, Gan Shengcai ordered the whole team to be assembled. At noon the next day, the army left the town of spades again in the middle of the common people's farewell.

Walking through the peach forest outside the town, there was a peach tree that was fully ripe at this time, and the town also sent a large number of ghost slaves into the peach forest to start picking spades. After the nearby ghost bandits were eliminated by us, the trade routes from Spades to the outside world became safe and unobstructed again, and presumably after this harvest season, it would bring a considerable amount of income to Spades.

Although the soldiers ate and drank a lot during these three days, they did not catch any loot, and certainly did not taste a spade. When I came to the town of spades, I didn't even eat a spade, which is a little regrettable. Then some of the people in the team began to make noise, wanting to go into the forest to pick a few and taste them.

I stopped the impulse of my men, and it was against the military discipline of Gan Sheng to pick the fruits of the people without permission. However, what I never expected was that the next person to break this concern was Gan Sheng himself!

A herald rode a cerberus from the front of the line to the end, and conveyed the order from Gan Sheng to the soldiers of each battalion one by one: "The road back to the underworld is long and difficult, everyone can go into the forest by themselves to pick a spade to quench their thirst, go and return quickly!" ”

Hearing such an order, I was dumbfounded. But the soldiers under his command were not stupid, they rushed into the peach grove to pick spades, and the originally neat marching team was all dispersed in one breath!

Although Gan Sheng's order only allowed each soldier to pick one spade, at this time, only fools and idiots would strictly abide by such an order. Each soldier filled all the places on his body that could hold peaches, and he still held a pile in his hand, two of them in his armpits, and finally he even had one in his mouth before he came out of the woods.

What's more, he rode on the peach tree and nibbled on it, as if he had to fill his stomach with peach flesh. Ten minutes later, Gansheng's herald was dispatched again, ordering all the soldiers to immediately return to the ranks and set off again.

Due to the violent methods used by the soldiers in the picking, slashing with knives and guns, and shaking the trunks vigorously, many spades were ruined in the process. Either fell to the ground and broke, or was trampled by the soldiers, and some were thrown away after two bites, and a large area of peach forest was suddenly looted like a plague of locusts.

The ghost slaves who were in charge of picking in the peach forest were stupid. It is estimated that they are all muttering in their hearts: "What kind of army is this, it is even worse than the ghost bandits!" ”

When the procession full of spades passed through the outpost outside the town of spades, the guards and officials there did not dare to stop them, and could only watch as the army left after the night tour. It is estimated that in their minds, the good image that we had built up with great difficulty collapsed at this moment, and the "righteous army" became a "bandit army"!

But the soldiers didn't care so much, as long as they grabbed the peach in their hands, they felt satisfied, and happily sang the marching military song. The big guy's sullen mood before had long been thrown out of the clouds, and some people even began to sing praises of Gan Shenglai, praising him as a good general who "loves soldiers like sons"!

I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh. Gan Sheng's such an understatement order, giving a little bit of small profit, let the soldiers who had worked hard for a month but could not get a share of the spoils of war a chance to vent, and the resentment that had accumulated disappeared in vain. Moreover, it is the town of spades that needs to bear the loss, and he doesn't need to pay half a dime anyway.

Alas, I really don't know to condemn him? Or should we admire his means of leading troops?

But at this time, I finally understood why someone told me that Gan Sheng's reputation in the army was not good. It's not just bad, it's just notorious!

However, after the night tour, the army returned with a great victory, and it was still a credit on the facts. After Gan Sheng returned to his life, he was naturally rewarded by the King of Yama and the Marshal of Night Tour, and there were other rewards. Of course, the people below know that such a task of suppressing ghosts and bandits is a relatively easy assignment, and it is not a big achievement.

After returning to the underworld, my Yin Army career once again reverted to a dull and even somewhat boring state.

The purpose of my efforts to enter the underworld is to reunite with Liu Han. But the Yin army is strictly managed, and there are many people, and I couldn't find Liu Han after looking for a few months, because I don't know which battalion of which army she is in.

Now that I'm a school boy, I have a little more authority to move around the camp. There are indeed female soldiers' dormitories in the Yin Army, but it is inconvenient for me to go in and find them directly. However, I believe that with patience, the two of us will meet again one day.

In addition to daily drills and participating in expatriate missions, the main work of the Yin Army in peacetime is actually to rotate various key parts in the underworld. After the night tour, the army had already taken turns to pass through the Ghost Gate Pass, the Chacha Division, and the Treasury of the Prefecture. This month, it is finally our turn to guard the reincarnation division.

I had never had the opportunity to go up to Wangxiangtai and Nai He Bridge before, let alone be able to cross the bridge to get the yellow spring water of Yin Si Jian. That's the key ingredient I've been trying to get my hands on, and I'm going to be on duty there for three days, which is a great opportunity to get water!
