Chapter 7: The Veteran's Scheme
"My lord, the general has summoned you to meet you in the back camp." As soon as Li Li returned to the Chinese army, Zhu Jun's personal soldiers came over to spread the word.
"Do you know what's going on?"
"Little ones don't know."
Li Li motioned for him to retreat, and then he didn't dare to delay and went to the back camp.
The rear camp is divided into several parts, there are those who are responsible for cooking and taking care of the grain and grass, there are those who repair war knives, build equipment, raise horses, and there are those who specialize in treating the wounded and sick of soldiers in the army.
As soon as Li Li came to the back camp, he was confused, and he couldn't tell the direction at all.
Fortunately, with the guidance of soldiers, you will not get lost.
Soon came to Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun threw over a brand-new set of weapons and said, "Try this pear flower gun, as well as this bow and arrow, you can use it at your fingertips." ”
Pear flower gun, treasure carving bow.
Isn't this the weapon of the flying general Li Guang?
Zhu Jun wouldn't be treating me as Li Guang, right?
"Your ancestor is General Fei, he is known as the first marksman of the Han Dynasty, he has 100 shots, 100 steps, never missed, I don't know how much style is left in your generation. There is also this pear flower gun, you also have to practice diligently, as a military general, when necessary, take the lead and set an example for the whole army, you can't always shrink back and make people laugh. You fire your bow and arrows now, and I'll give you some pointers! Zhu Jun raised his hand and pointed to the flagpole in the distance, and ordered: "Just shoot that!" ”
"Ahem...... The last general has not had time to practice martial arts, and the general has seen it, so don't laugh at me. Li Li played with the pear flower gun in his hand, handed it to the soldier behind him, and then pulled his bow and arrows and shot forward.
Sou!
The arrow flew out and disappeared.
Zhu Jun looked at Bozi for a long time, but he didn't find where the arrow went.
The soldier who was still standing guard had a good look at him, and took the arrow back from a tree branch: "General." ”
Zhu Jun looked like he hated that iron could not become steel, and broke the arrow in half: "You are really wrong." It is more than half a foot away, and his physical fitness is not as good as that of ordinary soldiers. Can this kill the enemy? When you really get to the battlefield, it's good if you don't shoot your own soldiers. ”
Li Li was also embarrassed.
It's the first time I've released an arrow, so it's not normal.
"Where's the pear flower gun, give it to him!" Zhu Jun is like a strict teacher, and he took the school to learn Li Li's marksmanship.
Not surprisingly, Li Li still doesn't understand anything.
Stabbing, picking, swinging, all the wrong movements.
Zhu Jun didn't know what to say, so he changed his usual kind expression and became extremely stern: "Tomorrow's battle, you have to participate in it in person, don't come back to see me if you don't kill dozens of prisoners!" I will arrange for my own soldiers to accompany you, one to protect you, and the other to count the number of enemies you have killed. ”
Li Li knew that Zhu Jun was focusing on cultivating him.
Li Li, who was dedicated to serving the country, did not resist at all, and quickly agreed. And for the next day, he stayed in his camp, practicing marksmanship for half a day, and then practicing archery for half a day. The mastery of marksmanship and archery has made great progress.
It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Zhu Jun came to Li Li's account and tested his archery skills again.
This time it was only half a foot off target.
If you count according to the target of the ten rings, you should have shot the tenth ring.
"Not bad. What about marksmanship? Now with me? Zhu Jun made a gesture and asked someone to get a weapon.
Li Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, general, I've only been practicing the pear flower gun for less than half a day, where is your opponent." When I'm done with the prisoners, I'll come back and ask the general for advice. ”
"It's fine. Go ahead. ”
"No!"
Li Li turned on his horse and went straight to the prisoner camp.
The armies of Huangfu Song and Cao Cao had already arrived, and they lined up in two directions of the prisoner camp.
Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao led more than 4,000 troops to arrive as promised, lined up in front of the prisoner camp, and waited for Li Li's order to attack.
Under the eastern slope.
Zhu Jun rushed to meet Huangfu Song, and the two met and exchanged pleasantries for a while. Zhu Jun said: "Li Li's martial arts, I have passed the school examination, and the difference is boundless, and the archery skills are also commonplace. If it weren't for his advice that day, I would have been impressed, and I really doubt that he was a descendant of General Fei. ”
Huangfu Song said: "It doesn't matter if it's right or not, even if he is a descendant of General Fei, if he doesn't have the ability himself, he will be overwhelmed." On the contrary, as long as he is loyal to the court and has a good heart, he is worthy of our cultivation ....... ”
"Recently, the eunuchs in the imperial court have become more and more rampant, and His Majesty has great trust in them, and we, the generals who lead the troops abroad, are often slandered, and at some point, we will be dismissed from office and escorted back to Beijing. At that time, you and I have become meat on other people's chopping boards, slaughtered by others, Li Li is a strange soldier, and when necessary, it can be of great use! ”
"Uh-huh!"
Zhu Jun nodded meaningfully.
From the moment Li Li offered his plan, Zhu Jun had a long-term plan in his heart.
The struggle between the eunuchs and their relatives in the DPRK and China was already endless, and the Yellow Turban Army took advantage of the chaos to rise up and swept through the state capitals. The Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei and other foreign tribes have fallen into the well and rebelled repeatedly. Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and other veterans all had a premonition that the Han Dynasty was about to usher in a catastrophe.
This catastrophe is likely to upend the rule of the imperial court.
These veterans, although they have heavy troops, they can't get out of the control of the imperial court, once the emperor listens to the eunuchs and wants to remove them from power, they can't resist, they can only obediently hand over the military power. And once the military power is handed over, who will guard the Han Dynasty? Who can exterminate the yellow turban thieves in the world? Who can calm down the troubles on the border?
Therefore, after discussing with Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song both thought that a person should be cultivated.
This person cannot be a senior official in the court, and he is easily slandered by the eunuchs.
It can't be a person from a big family, a big family is very involved, and they are very interested in their own interests, and it is difficult to take care of the safety of the court.
Only people like Li Li, born poor, unconcerned, strategic, and have an identity background like Li Guang's descendants, are really rare. When Li Li grew up, he became the pillar of the army, and did not enter the establishment of the imperial army. No matter what ambition thief wants to subvert the Han Dynasty, he must first pass the pass of Li Li.
Ahead of the prisoner camp.
More than 4,000 troops were on standby.
Zhou Cang carried a big knife, and Pei Yuanshao carried a mace.
Seeing Li Li coming, they all stepped forward to ask for orders: "Lord, when will we attack?" The soldiers are ready! ”
Li Li glanced at the surrendering army behind him, slowly drew his sword, and shouted forward: "Listen to the order, the whole army rushes into the prisoner camp, and don't let anyone go." Ben will fight with you, and those who advance will live, and those who retreat will die! Kill me! ”
"Kill!"
"Roar, roar, roar, ......." Under the leadership of Li Li, Zhoucang, and Pei Yuanshao, the sergeants marched into the prisoner camp with neat steps. When they saw the captives inside, the whole army launched a charge, and the bright swords were raised above their heads and quickly slashed out.
Puff puff puff!!
The captive, who had not eaten for three days, was dizzy with hunger, and before he could understand what was going on, he collapsed in a pool of blood. Some of the able-bodied ones resisted, but they were unarmed, and it didn't make any difference.
Li Li rode on a tall horse, held a pear flower gun, and stabbed out fiercely: "Poof! ”
The tip of the spear pierced into the flesh, killing the man instantly.
The wails of pain continued.
Kill from late evening until late at night.
When Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun rushed over, the battle was almost over. I saw that more than 4,000 people led by Li Li were all stained red with blood, and their faces and clothes were dripping with blood, and they were pulling up long bloodshots. It's like a demon coming out of hell.
Zhou Cang's ghost-headed broadsword has appeared more than a dozen gaps.
Pei Yuanshao's mace was smashed and dented.
The 50,000 dying captives were killed cleanly, and not a single one escaped.
Li Li held a pear flower gun in one hand, lying on horseback, and slowly walked out of the camp, with infinite murderous aura in his eyes, which could not be dissipated for a long time. Zhu Jun was very relieved to see it, and personally stepped forward to lead the horse for Li Li, and comforted: "If you want to become a general, you have to pass this hurdle sooner or later." Today he is facing unarmed captives, and he is facing an enemy army as fierce as a wolf. You have to adapt slowly in the war and build up your prestige, so that you can lead your troops and kill the enemy in the future! ”
"Yes!"
Li Li was tired enough, and replied weakly.
After Li Li left, Zhu Jun asked the accompanying soldiers: "How many people did he kill?" ”
"Back to General, 38 in total!"
"Is this kid crazy? I thought he could kill more than a dozen people, which would be very good, but I didn't expect to kill more than thirty, it's really teachable! Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other, and they were both very satisfied with Li Li's performance.
The battle is over.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao led the soldiers to collect the corpses of the prisoner camp and concentrate on cremation and burial. Both knelt in the camp and wept into tears. The more than 4,000 surrendered troops who participated in the war also knelt down for a long time to say their final goodbyes to their familiar comrades-in-arms.
