Chapter Twenty-Nine: Offsetting the Merits and Demerits
When the West Wind Kingdom wins the battle, it will chant "Gale Song", in fact, there is no melody to speak of, it is more like the length of the drum, the rapid change, but there is one point, the first "drumbeat" of the Gale Song is usually initiated by the commander of the whole army. This is also the reason why the chief of the Great Security Council will go over and ask for instructions on how to dispose of barbarian prisoners of war.
"Wu Xing is well-known in the nearby villages and towns, and we gave him a nickname, 'Wu Daxia'. Ergou said.
"This time the burning of the Northland horse is out of Wu Xing's strategy; Including how to use the terrain at the entrance of the village to set up an ambush, how to outflank the barbarians blocking the entrance of the village, and even arranged a few baoding in the fir forest and the village to just wave the flag and shout, pretending to be suspicious soldiers....... Shi said with a straight face: "These are all the credit of Wu Xing." Not to mention that he bravely entered the Longtan Tiger's Den alone and killed the hundred households......."
"Yes, if we really have to wait for Du Baozheng to raise the fire, our two villages will be finished!" said another Baoding, with a sigh of relief.
"Longtan Tiger's Den, you are big!" The chief of the Great Protector knocked directly on the door of the stone head, and scolded with a smile: "When did our own village become the Longtan Tiger's Den?"
Shi rubbed his head and muttered: "When the barbarians are here, it is the Longtan Tiger's Den......."
The chief of the chief looked around at the guards standing around, and said with a straight face: "You are all young heroes who are brave and outstanding in this battle! I am not talking to you as the chief of the chief now, but as an elder. ”
The chief of the chief pointed to the tiger head bronze medal on the table on the side, and said, "The key is on this bronze medal." The battle exploits cannot be recorded on Wu Xing's head, because he is not a star monarch, but just an observer of the Star Palace. Xingjun has entered the product, and the government has always recognized his grade, but Xingjun is usually unwilling to accept the seal as an official. Wu Xing is still only a white body, and without the Tiger Talisman Seal Letter, he has no right to mobilize a single soldier at all. Since the new monarch ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, he has paid the most attention to rules and laws; otherwise, everyone can mobilize troops and horses, and if he wants to rebel, will you also follow him? War merits can only be shared by Du Baozheng and Du Baozheng: although Du Baozheng has no merit, at least he also has hard work, and this can be reported as appropriate; and Du Baozheng, who is fully prepared in advance, should become a proper soldier in the battle array, and after being captured, he would rather die than surrender, and should be credited with the first merit!"
"It's true that Wu Xing is a student of the Star Palace, but isn't this even more commendable? Could it be that only Xingjun can perform chivalrous deeds? He heard the attack on our village outside the depression, and he could have turned around and left directly. But he chose to stay and fight side by side with us!"
"Yes! Could it be that the hundred households fell to their deaths on the stone mill? When the county government and the military came, they could see at a glance what was going on. Shi Shi was also angry, and when he saw the chief glaring at him, he covered his forehead and shouted, "You are an elder now!"
"Yes, I'm your son!" the chief of the chief made a false kick, so frightened that the stone jumped back a big step, which made the guards in the ancestral hall laugh and laugh.
The chief of the chief patted the table, and waited until everyone gradually quieted down, and then said: "Wu Xing is brave in his actions, and he should kill a hundred households, and he should be credited." However, in the end, he instigated the villagers to kill all the barbarians who had abandoned their weapons, whether they were regular soldiers or slave soldiers, but it was a big taboo! The barbarians could naturally be killed, but they should be punished properly, and they should always give an explanation for the barbarians this time, so as to boost the morale of the army and appease the public opinion!"
"Can't we assume that those barbarians died in the fighting?" Ergou shook his head puzzled, and said, "I guess Wu Xing's concern at that time was that there were at least hundreds of barbarians nearby, and at the same time, there were four or five barbarians under those hundred households who escaped. If we don't kill the forty or so barbarians who abandoned their weapons, we need to separate the guards of the Baoding. In case those hundreds of barbarian horsemen suddenly kill back the horse pistol, or even have a situation where the inside and the outside are combined, we will be more dangerous and passive......"
The chief shook his head and laughed: "Die in the middle of the battle? Concealment and lying are taboos! There are more than 1,000 mouths in the two villages, can you seal them all? If a sharp soldier knows about this incident, a good thing will also turn into a disaster! I guess that when Wu Xing made the decision to kill the prisoner, he must have struggled in his heart. He had even anticipated that it would be more than ...... to use his own merits to kill the captives."
Therefore, if a command is meritorious, it cannot be rewarded, and if it is meritorious to kill the enemy, it is counterproductive to kill prisoners...... Could it be that we Baoding and those barbarians exchanged their lives for one life, and everyone was clean when they were all dead?!" Another Baoding sighed lightly.
"Remember, you are all security chiefs, and it was up to you to agree on the ambush of the barbarians at the entrance of the village. The chief looked at the faces of the guards, and said: "After you go back, you should also say the same thing to the guards, anyway, it was really time at that time, and they didn't know the details originally, but they just knew that there was Xingjun to help." We took Wu Xing out of this unauthorized troop transfer. That way, it's good for everyone!"
"Wu Xing is not rewarded for his merits! Du Baozheng has not been punished! Such a happy ending, don't do it!" Shi turned around angrily and left, and when he was about to reach the gate of the ancestral hall, he stopped, turned around and said, "I will do as I say....... But let's at least set up an immortal card for Wu Xing, shall we? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well tonight. ”
"This is as it should be. I will consult with the elders of the village. The chief said to everyone: "Go back to each of you first, and you must not relax your vigilance! Especially the tunnel leading to the outside of the village that has been discovered by the barbarians, and it is necessary to prevent the barbarians from sneaking up." ”
The chief of the chief of the chief watched the guards leave, got up and walked towards the Mengxue Hall on the side of the ancestral hall, and just turned the side door, he saw Wu Xingzheng looking up at the snow in the sky blankly, and even the blanket on his body slipped onto the floor tiles.
"Did you hear it all?" the chief coughed lightly and asked directly.
"Well, everything that should have been heard, heard. Wu Xing replied, bent down and picked up the blanket and put it on his arm, and said, "Thank you to the old man in the village for agreeing to let the kid recuperate in the ancestral hall!"
Besides, I was originally a guerrilla general's pawn, and these things are even more unshirkable. The chief said, "You were born and died, but you ....... But you have been wronged. ”
"Uncle Zheng knows, and he will only blame me for acting recklessly, and I don't know how thick the sky is. Wu Xing sincerely thanked: "That hundred households turned out to be a martial arts Xingjun, which is really unexpected." If it weren't for the stone and the two dogs who took the risk of burning the Northland horse, after my identity was revealed, it was very likely that I would be killed on the spot by Baihu and his own soldiers. ”
