Chapter 212: The Fourth Captain Holds a Banquet at the Wine Shop
Recently, there have been military orders coming from the Metropolitan Protectorate of Qiuzi Town, requiring the border cities of Anxi and Turgish to strengthen the defense and strict training of the Beacon Fort. Experienced veterans and officers know that this is about to be war. Li Siye also knew, but he was just some kind of unspeakable prophet.
On this day, he led his horse back to the streets of the city, carrying an antelope from a nearby hillside on his horse, followed by Tian Zhen and Fuji Mu.
"Li Siye!"
A rough voice came from the street, and the three of them turned around in surprise, only to see an officer with a beard on his face, followed by three or five Tang soldiers in yellow robes, walking towards them with a wicked appearance.
Tian Zhen and Fujimu were vigilant, and took the initiative to block in front of Li Siye, holding the handle of the knife on their waists.
Li Siye waved his hand at the two and said, "You don't have to be like this to face a great enemy, this person has no malicious intent. ”
The two of them stepped back to the side, and the bearded man had already crossed his hands in front of him, but his face was raw, and even if he smiled, it made people look oozing.
"Li Siye, Captain Li! After coming to the 33rd Folding Chong Mansion for so long, and not getting acquainted with our colleagues, are you going to work alone behind closed doors? I'm going to blame you for not knowing the rules. When you go to the battlefield, the most important thing is the robe around you, which can protect your back at a critical time. We, the captains who lead the troops, and most importantly, the flank brothers, can help you break the rear at a critical moment. If you are not popular and lead your troops into the enemy formation, no one will be willing to come to your rescue. ”
The three of them had never seen this person, and they actually ran to Li Siye and counted them out, seeing that Tian Zhen and Fujimu both opened their mouths wide and did not speak. According to Li Siye's social experience, which was not rich in social experience in his previous life, he could easily judge that this was a self-acquaintance.
Li Siye also smiled and said: "You must be the captain of the Third Regiment, I'm really sorry, I just arrived in the Eighth Regiment, and I encountered a lot of tricky things, I really can't spare time to visit my colleagues, and after three days, I will invite all the captains of the 33rd Mansion to be familiar with you." ”
Although Ren Chenghe's outspoken rebuke is not unreasonable, Li Siye is not unruly. When he first arrived, the Eighth Regiment was said to be in danger, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was full of dangers. The soldiers who were short of four months' salary were like explosives bags that were about to be ignited, and their past grievances against the imperial court and Gai Jiayun were likely to be vented on him, the new captain.
If he chooses to visit his colleagues at that time, will these arrogant regimental captains take a proper posture to associate with him, and will they sympathize with him or despise him?
It's better now, all the problems are solved, and his reputation is also loud, and he can control the Eighth Regiment to this point in just one month, he can be proud of the captains who are facing the 33rd Folding Chong Mansion, and even raise his chin and say to them that everyone here is a younger brother.
The younger brother in front of him, Captain Ren, grabbed Li Siye's wrist and said with a smile: "Why bother three days later, it's better to hit the sun than another day, today I and Captain Yuan Tang of the Fifth Regiment, Captain Han Zhang of the Ninth Regiment, and Captain Zhao Yuanwei of the Twelfth Regiment are in the wine shop in the city to save wine for you, and the wine shop has authentic Chang'an water basin mutton, come with me!" ”
Li Siye couldn't break free, so he had to say to Tian Zhen Tengmu: "You guys also come together." ”
The orchid restaurant in the city has three floors, the three-sided version of the wall is nearly two feet thick, built more than three zhang high, the rest of the floor roofs are made of wood, and the annex building absorbs the style of the Persian flat-roofed house, and there is a sense of déjà vu of the Dragon Gate Inn from a distance.
Today, the people of the Thirty-Three Fold Chong Mansion have wrapped up the entire wine shop, and those sitting downstairs are the guards and entourage of several captains. Tian Zhen Tengmu also took the initiative to stay downstairs, and Li Siye was invited upstairs by Ren Chenghe.
On the third floor, the wind is spacious, and the three regimental captains sit cross-legged on the woolen carpet in the center, surrounded by a wide four-plan, and the Kangju girls dance on the wooden platform against the back wall.
Ren Chengsi invited Li Siye to the three of them, and they stood up from the ground and enthusiastically bowed their hands to Li Siye. Among them, Zhao Yuanwei, who has slightly smaller eyebrows and a short mustache on his lips, said with a smile: "Captain Li has not seen him, he has heard his voice, they all know that there is a Li Yanluo in the city, he is strict in governing the army, and no matter how oily the old ** is in your hands, he can't last seven days." I'm here today to ask you for advice. ”
He raised his praise as soon as he came up, Li Siye had to be careful, in case the other party seemed to praise and depreciate, in case he dug a pit and let him jump in.
He arched his hand at everyone and said, "Everyone, I am just strict by nature, and I am strict with myself, so I demand others. As for the means of governing people, there are still some of them, if you are not too clumsy, I will share them with you as a small skill. ”
Ren Chengsi stretched out his hand next to him to invite: "Drink wine first, eat meat, and when the wine comes up, it's comfortable to talk about anything." ”
There was only one jar of unopened grape wine on the four plans, and Dr. Wine hurriedly stepped forward and put the wine bowl on the table. Ren Chengji opened his throat and said loudly: "Doctor! Go and tell your shopkeeper to bring me the mutton from the basin I want. ”
Later, Dr. Jiu put a silk scarf on his hands and brought a pot full of mutton. The piled up mutton slices are soaked in a thick oil soup, but there is no strong smell of mutton, thanks to the pepper produced in Tianzhu to drive away the fishy smell, in Anxi is not like Chang'an by the big families and nobles to the point that ordinary people can't afford it.
Ren Chengsi took the initiative to pick up the bowl and said on behalf of everyone: "Our five regiments eat together in one city all day long, and they are all subordinate to the Thirty-Three Fold Chong Mansion. But in addition to paying, Zhichong Mansion doesn't care about us, and Zhao Chonghuan is also a lazy person. Ordinary trivial matters are handled by the five of us. Therefore, you and I must be more close in the future, whether we go to the battlefield or not, we must form a group and advance and retreat together. ”
The five of them held the wine bowl in both hands, touched each other, and said in unison: "Advance and retreat together." ”
Li Siye watched everyone while drinking, these people seemed to be Ren Chenghei's leading speech, but they were not fuel-efficient, and they had some slight suspicions with each other, but they were just a group of harmony on the surface.
Captain Han Zhang put down the wine bowl and asked him: "Li Siye, you should tell us, what are these four can'ts?" Can the soldiers who are not afraid of being beaten with military sticks bow their heads and tremble in fear? ”
Li Siye was stunned for a moment, and then guessed that he was talking about a confinement room, and he didn't know who had transformed it into such a painful name.
"It's a dark room that locks people, and the best requirement is that there is no light, you can't see your fingers, you can't hear a sound, and you can't even hear a ghost except for talking yourself. Every day he brought him food, and he ate and drank and Lazar in it. The size of the house is also particular, the top should not be too high, the standard is not to stand straight with the head bowed, the ground can not be too wide, and the knees cannot be stretched when sitting down. Just lock him up for seven to ten days, as long as he is locked up once, in the future, this ** would rather let you vomit blood with a military stick than enter these four can't be locked up. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and secretly complained in their hearts, can use their brains to figure out such a torturous thing, this can be regarded as a talent. Thanks to the fact that he is in the army, if he goes to be an official, he will be a cool official like Zhou Lizhen.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a while, and Li Siye didn't understand what was going on.
In order to enliven the atmosphere, he looked out the window and took the initiative to speak: "Recently, the Metropolitan Protectorate has issued an official letter twice in three days, asking us to be stationed on the front line of the Turgish border, I estimate that there will be a war, what do you think?" ”
Ren Chengsi stretched out his little fingernail and picked at the yellowed teeth, lowered his head and spit the meat crumbs to the ground, raised his head and said, "What do you think of this, I have thirty-three folds and five regiments in the palace, all of which are jumping." What is jumping, charging into battle is also, the first to climb the wall to meet the enemy during the siege of the city, a battle down the biggest casualties are also us, if you can make the first contribution to the good it is good to say, if not, death is equivalent to a vain death. ”
