The two women outside the grass hall howled for a while, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and Li Shou didn't even come forward to appease him.

Yu Gou and the officers secretly gathered in the plate building room, and everyone's expressions were no longer as if they were facing a great enemy and panic at the beginning, and the two teams were dripping with blood on their backs and buttocks, and they were lying on the straw mat with a piece of white linen cloth with blood.

Team Song said sullenly: "Li Shou is not as easy to fool as Lao Gao, he is afraid that he is the kind of utilitarian person who is bent on climbing up, and our comfortable days are about to come to an end." ”

"So what," said a thin man, "he is him, we are us, and whatever he wants to make a fuss, that's his business alone." We can disobey the yin, every word and every deed, we must clearly let him know that we just can't support the wall in the mud, don't waste our efforts. ”

Yu Gou snorted coldly and glanced at these people: "Don't be too redundant, I think Li Shou is quite righteous." If you change to someone else, you sell the armor of the imperial court, people will already report it, who will care about your life or death, and how the Anxi Protectorate will severely punish you, it has nothing to do with others! Now he is willing to put the matter down, and in case of future incidents, the blame will be borne on his head, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a favor to be able to do so, and it is not permissible to do things that are ungrateful. ”

Team Shi was holding on to his sore shoulders, got up from the straw mat and said, "Who said we were going to rebel? We're just ...... We just followed the former Gao Shou and captured the envoys, and lived a wasteful and lazy life. We have been guarding the Green Ridge for more than ten years, have we encountered the enemy? No, if you want to fight and make meritorious contributions, you can't even get a chicken feather. ”

"So we can't let him toss, we have to wear down his sharpness and become like us."

Song Heng immediately sighed: "Ahem, we are also for his good, we have been a guard and capture in a place like Green Ridge, and there will be no one day in our lives, rather than meeting him in the future and breaking the bloodstream, it is better to wake him up now and tell him not to work in vain." “

"Also, what should I do about this debt, the account books are all in his hands, how should this money be repaid?"

The elders waved their arms and refused: "No money, where do we get the money, three hundred yuan a month, two buckets of rice, spend until the end of the month, there is no one left, I have to buy clothes for the children's mother-in-law, I can't drink some wine every other day?" In the end, by the end of the month, there was no money left, where did the money come from to pay back his armor. ”

Yu Gou pointed at these people bitterly: "You, you! It's really mud that can't hold up the wall! ”

A chief said with a smile: "Yu Zhubo, we are mud, what are you?" Do you have what it takes to get out of this mud? ”

"Shut up!" Song Hengkou, who was lying on the straw mat, scolded his subordinates who had no superiors.

He turned his gaze towards Yu Gou, and said in a kind but lazy manner: "If you want to blame, blame us for being unlucky, we have been working in this ghost place in Green Ridge for more than ten years, and Li Shou is as unlucky as us." I'm still saying that, we're just helping him recognize the reality, everyone comes according to my plan, and we must not carry it hard, but we must grind softly. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Fujimaki and Tian Zhen rang the gong for the conquest, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out. The two immediately went from house to house, banging on the door with all their might, or looking through the window.

These people are either washing rice and cooking, or taking care of the children, and some are doing indescribable things with their mothers in the room.

It took a whole hour for Tian Zhen and Fujimu to take these people out of their comfort nests, call them to the school field outside the city, and start training with guns and knives. Helplessly, these people are like soft-footed shrimps, wielding knives and bayonets like embroidery by a lady, no matter how the two insult and scold, these people will not change their stubborn nature, and they will do their own thing.

Tian Zhen was irritable, took out the horsewhip from the saddle and beat these people hard, and more than a hundred people simply lay on the ground and groaned, as if even the strength to stand up was exhausted by the horsewhip.

"I'm! Damn it! ”

Tian Zhen rode back to the city angrily, walked to the grass hall and threw the bloody horsewhip to the ground: "These people are really wasted, completely fucking wasted!" It's just a matter of not obeying military orders, and it's soft to practice! Can this kind of soldier fight! Just like a sheep, it is estimated that as soon as the knife and gun are raised, they will be cleaned up by the enemy! ”

"I suggest you kill two people, with the heart of the army!"

After listening to Tian Zhen's story, Li Siye raised his arm and waved, leading Tian Zhen to the city wall, holding a pergola and looking at the green school field in the distance. Fujimaki still showed good patience, raising his hand to hold the knife and gesturing, and a group of people followed him, holding the hilt of the knife and moving slowly like a comical dance, looking stiff and contrived, indicating an uncooperative attitude.

"Look at these birdmen, I really want to chop them up one by one! There's a kind of don't come to Anxi to be a soldier! This is what a bird looks like when you are a soldier! ”

Li Siye turned around and asked him: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Kill one or two people, hang their heads on the city, and let these people see what happens to them as soft-footed shrimp!"

"It's not good to kill people when you first take office."

"Then you say it yourself, what should you do!"

Li Siye stroked his forehead and said, "They themselves are reluctant to train, even if you force it, it will not have an effect." Stop training and wait until later they will come and train. ”

Tian Zhen shook his head and snorted: "These people are hopelessly lazy, how can they take the initiative to be affected?" You're thinking too much. ”

"If you don't believe it, why don't we make a bet?"

"Bet on it, you need to bet if you win or lose, what to bet on?"

"If I win, you will have to complain again in the future, and you will do whatever I tell you to do."

"And what if you lose?"

"I step down as the Guardian and recommend you to the Metropolitan Protectorate."

Tian Zhen laughed, pinched his chin and said, "There's no need for this, as long as you lose, tell them in front of everyone that your low martial arts are not my opponent." ”

"Yes."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

As night approached, the undulating curves of the mountains and rivers were hidden in the setting sun, and the gates of the castle began to close.

At the foot of the hill, three healthy horses rushed towards the city, and the samurai on horseback rushed to the city gate and shouted, "Don't close the gate!" ”

The soldiers at the head of the city saw their acquaintances, and hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Quick! Open the door, Brother Yong, they're back! ”

The so-called Yong Brother is a sturdy man, and he is also the only one in the Green Ridge Guard who has not sold his weapons and armor. This man is very bold, and often breaks away from the city to act as a catcher outside.

These people are the restless factor in the Tang army, and their kung fu and methods are first-class, so they are not satisfied with just receiving money and eating imperial food, they take the initiative to run out to accept the employment of merchants as swordsmen, and even go to pick up dirty work to become killers, and some people leave the army and become full-time swordsmen and sand thieves.

The Zhang Kuo gang that Li Siye met on the way to take office was transformed from Shou Lang, not to mention their virtues, but in terms of combat effectiveness, these people's combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary Tang Army.

Li Siye is very clear about this reason, only after a hundred battles can he train a warrior. No matter how well you train, if you haven't gone through the baptism of battle, you can't defeat the veterans of a hundred battles after all, especially the bloody battles in the era of cold weapons, which need to be tested in actual combat.
