Chapter Seventy-Eight: Governing the Army
Some people are thinking, some people are whispering......
This night, after Rong Yu had dinner with Xiao Shen, he retired and told Xiao Shen about accompanying Rong Hua to Tongcheng, making promises with Shao Beicheng, the bracelet given by the lord of Xuanning County, the origin of Guo'er, and the disaster in Mama Wu's family, and told her: "Mother, it's about big sister, you must not tell others about Tongcheng, and you can't say it to your father!" ”
"If Daddy knows, he will definitely say it to Aunt Du, and Aunt Du will say that it is ...... with the eldest brother and second sister."
"One to ten, ten to hundred...... The eldest sister is a young widow, if she gives birth to rumors, how can she hold back? ”
Xiao Shen responded, and she was greatly surprised in her heart:
The three women in the back house actually made their own opinions, hid from the world, and went to Tongcheng!
She hugged Rong Yu and said fearfully: "My little ancestor! Thankfully, God blessed you all to come back safely! ”
"What kind of place is Tongcheng? Out of the city, there are Western Liao barbarians! I heard that those Western Liao barbarians were bloody and brutal, and after catching the Han children, they would bite off their necks and drink blood! ”
"How do you get to that kind of place!"
"Besides, if you encounter bandits and gangsters on the way......"
"If something goes wrong......"
Rong Yu confessed again and again, and comforted her again: "General Shao Xiao sent his personal guards to escort him, how can those bandits and gangsters be able to defeat General Shao Xiao's soldiers?" ”
The tone was full of trust and pride......
Xiao Shen looked at Rong Yu with emotion.
Take care of Rong Ye, learn to be in charge, and give birth to Rong Chi......
One incident after another has sharpened her from the ignorant little girl to the calm Mrs. Taining Hou today.
Dedication and no complaints.
She did not live up to the trust of the Shen family and fulfilled her responsibility as the housewife.
The only one who owes it is her daughter......
Time flies, and the child who was attached to her when she was a child has grown up......
Xiao Shen asked Rong Yu lovingly: "Then General Shao, is he so powerful?" ”
Rong Yu's eyes were bright: "Naturally! ”
The girl proudly introduced the glorious boy in her heart to her mother, and thousands of miles away, the boy was leading the night watch.
Shao Beicheng suddenly felt a trace of melancholy in his heart.
He stopped and looked up at the night sky.
The stars in the sky are transformed into the appearance of a little girl......
The little girl in his heart......
Cute, intelligent and steady......
Moreover, I have a deep affection for him!
So nice little girl......
The corners of General Shao's mouth lifted slightly.
The armor behind him: ?
After the night patrol was over, when he returned to the camp, the newly recruited soldier who was fortunate enough to patrol with General Shao Xiao for the first time asked the soldier from the Shao family army in a low voice: "Big brother, general...... Why does he stop and look at the sky from time to time? ”
Xiao Zu B was stunned: He doesn't know either......
The general was not like this before, who knows what kind of wind has been pumping lately......
Of course, you can't say that......
Otherwise, it will not be conducive to maintaining his well-informed image as a senior, nor will it be conducive to establishing a glorious image of General Shao Xiao's courage and resourcefulness among the recruits......
Pawn B thought about it seriously, and said to Pawn A mysteriously: "Little brother, see that you are still smart, brother will tell you ......"
"Our general, we are watching the sky at night!"
"Have you ever heard of the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?! Our general is like Prime Minister Zhuge there, he can also watch the sky! ”
The pawn's eyes were full of adoration: "I've heard it, I've heard it!" Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, what a clever calculation! ”
"I didn't expect General Shao Xiao to watch the sky......
There was a happy longing in his eyes: "General Shao Xiao will definitely see the celestial phenomenon and then set out on the expedition, let's follow him, and we won't die in battle!" ”
Pawn B: The cowhide has blown through......
He remedied, "That's not how to look at the sky......
"Die for it, or die for it!"
"However, in my opinion, General Shao Xiao should choose a good day to take us to death!"
Pawn A: ?
A few days later, Shao Beicheng received a letter from the flying pigeon.
There are only four short words on the family letter: jade becomes a good thing.
He watched it over and over again for a long time.
The mood is agitated, and it is difficult to calm down for a long time.
Recently, Shao Beicheng trained soldiers to fight hunger, and the meals of the soldiers were changed from the usual three meals a day to two meals a day.
And the amount of each meal has also been reduced, and I can only eat six or seven percent full.
Drills and patrols are quite physically demanding, so the soldiers have been empty and hungry for days.
The Shao family is pro-army, and the military orders are like mountains, and no one has a complaint.
The new recruits did not dare to make trouble, and they rarely complained.
This is not the case with armor that has been reorganized from the armies of other generals......
Most of these people are veterans, they are lazy in training, and they are hungry, but they scream louder than anyone else......
Shao Beicheng was in a happy mood after receiving the letter from home, and deliberately took out his own salary to buy flour and cabbage for the room, and added a vegetable bun to each soldier for dinner.
After being hungry for many days, after getting the buns, most of the soldiers were overjoyed and cherished small bites.
A few veterans who wanted to stir up trouble swallowed the buns in two bites, and after looking at each other for a few times, they walked up to the gang leader who handed out the buns and shouted: "After eating, come here for a few more!" ”
The leader of the gang smiled and said: "Big brother, there is only one for each person, and the kitchen counts the heads to make it, and there is no ...... for more than half of them."
At this time, a veteran soldier pulled out his saber with a "bang", slashed it on the steamer, turned to look at the people who were eating, and said loudly: "Brothers, let's leave our wives and children, join the army, pin our heads to the belt of our trousers, and give up our lives to earn military merit for General Shao Xiao!" ”
"He's fine, he won't give us a mouthful of food!"
"What do you say about anti-hunger training......"
"Brother, I have been in the army for more than ten years, and I have also been on the battlefield, but it is the first time I have encountered such a rare thing!"
The Shao family's pro-army immediately drew their knives to surround those troublemakers.
Although the new recruits watched silently, their eyes showed indignation:
Yes, even if they die, their battle exploits are not the work of these nobodies......
Why, don't even give a full mouth?!
Someone in the pro-army surrounding Bing Youzi spoke: "Brothers, I don't know, today's buns were bought by General Shao Xiao with his own salary and silver for the big guys!" ”
"These days, we can still use two meals, but the general only uses one meal a day......"
Pawn A in the crowd recognized that it was Pawn B who had spoken to him a few days ago.
Someone interrupted pawn B's words: "Hmph, this kind of thing can fool those recruits, how can you be embarrassed to say it in front of us?!" ”
"The rice and grain we eat every day are all sent by the imperial court's merchants, we want to eat steamed buns, why do we need to spend his salary and silver from General Shao Xiao?!"
"I want to ask, where did all the rice and grain we saved hungry these days go?!"
"Isn't it that the Shen family sent insufficient food, and General Shao Xiao got the benefits of the Shen family, so he told us to be hungry and help the Shen family cover up?!"
"Some time ago, someone saw with their own eyes that the young master of the Shen family who sent military rations sent a cart full of gifts to General Dingyuan's mansion!"
At this moment, the strong man came over, he slashed two sharp knives on the board, and shouted angrily at the troublemaker:
"Sure enough, it's you turtle grandchildren, Lao Tzu has noticed you a long time ago!"
"What to do, what to eat, nothing left!"
"A big man, he thinks more than a girl, and he thinks about it all day long!"
"The young master of the Shen family gave a gift, but it didn't take long for him to be kicked out of the General's Mansion, everyone knows about this matter, but you sneaky things that have been blinded by lard are not clear!"
"Besides, the military rations sent by the Shen family were inspected and put into the warehouse after passing the scales, and the Lord Yushi was staring at them, and the few mouthfuls of food you saved are still in the warehouse at this time!"
I see......
Everyone suddenly realized.
In front of everyone's eyes, the troublesome soldiers were ashamed, and their old faces swelled into the color of pig liver.
At this time, the leader of the gang realized that the steamer had been cut!
He spat angrily: "Dare to cut Lao Tzu's steamer!" ”
"What is the identity of General Shao Xiao, who has not seen the dog thing? Can he see how many grains of rice are left in your dog's mouth?! ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
The curtain of the door was lifted, and Shao Beicheng, whose face was like ice, walked into the dining hall.
Many people saw his angry face for the first time.
Looking at such a general Shao Xiao, Xiao Zujia suddenly remembered another legend in the mouth of the storyteller: the jade-faced Yama.
At this time, he finally figured out why General Shao Xiao often stopped to watch the sky......
It's not watching the sky at night, but starving with Venus......
I only eat one meal a day, and I can't bear it even if I am beaten with iron!
Although General Shao Xiao does not observe the sky......
However, he is willing to follow such a general to gallop across the battlefield to defend his family and country......
No regrets!
