Chapter XVIII: Cavalry Battalion Commander

Zhuang Shaoyou calmly came back from the big tent of Zhang Jiao, and began to study the way of training soldiers and commanding troops in the "Art of War", there had been some research before, but it was not profound enough, and now he suddenly fell from heaven to himself! I was a little overwhelmed for a while, but I quickly calmed down again, this is the only way to become an emperor!

If you can't even bring soldiers, you definitely can't do it! Which founding emperor of all dynasties was not played? Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Let's start with the 1,200 cavalry!

The next day after breakfast, the cavalry battalion school field.

Zhuang Shaoyou stood in front of the point platform on a horse fully armed, with Zhang Ning and Zhou Cang behind him, Zhang Ning seemed to be in a good mood, and obediently rode a horse and stood behind without making trouble for Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhou Cang was also an old god, I don't know what he was thinking. After a while, everyone was sparsely gathered, and Zhuang Shaoyou stepped forward to speak, but he saw a team of people walking towards here, and soon came to the front, and it turned out to be Zhang Jiao.

Zhuang Shaoyou hurriedly dismounted and led everyone to come forward to salute, today Zhang Jiao is still wearing a yellow robe, a pair of broken straw sandals, gray hair and beard are very incommensurate with his age, although the eyes under the eyebrows are bright, but there is obviously a tired color.

Zhang Jiao stepped forward, smiled, raised Zhuang Shaoyou's arm, and shouted loudly: "Zhuang Shaoyou is young and promising, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, I announce that Zhuang Shaoyou is the new general of the cavalry battalion, and Zhang Ning and Zhou Cang are the deputy generals." From now on, Zhuang Shaoyou will be responsible for all matters in the cavalry battalion, and I will no longer ask anything about the cavalry battalion! After speaking, he coughed vigorously a few times.

The cavalry below was in an uproar, it was reasonable for Zhuang Shaoyou to be promoted, after all, the last battle on the banks of the Qing River was thanks to his command, and everyone knew about it, but what they didn't expect was that Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong and the great sage and good teacher, would personally appoint it, and no longer asked? What do you mean? That is to say, can Zhuang Shaoyou decide all the things in the cavalry battalion alone without Zhang Jiao's consent? What if he rebels? Although unlikely.

Zhang Jiao didn't bother to pay attention to the reaction of the soldiers below, but looked at Zhuang Shaoyou, and then turned back to Zhang Ning and smiled, Zhang Ning blushed so much that he lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Zhuang Shaoyou was also stunned, although he already knew, but this was too face-saving, right? This feels like going to be the county magistrate by yourself, and suddenly the secretary of the provincial party committee comes to cheer you on, pulling the wind! Brother Zhang, no! Uncle Zhang, you are too considerate! Who dares to disagree now?

Zhuang Shaoyou was overjoyed and immediately marched on one knee and said loudly: "Thank you General Tiangong for your promotion, your subordinates will definitely live up to their trust!" "It's a pun, only Zhang Jiao and Zhuang Shaoyou understand what they are entrusting, I don't know if Zhang Ningming doesn't understand.

Zhang Jiao didn't say much, and went back to the big tent directly, as the leader, there are still a lot of things, this kind of small ceremony can leave by himself, make a speech, cut the ribbon!

Zhuang Shaoyou got on the horse and looked at everyone's expressions, some were excited, such as their original brother of the hundred-man team, and some of them looked indifferent, as if they had nothing to do with themselves, most of the soldiers thought like this, for them, whoever was the general would not be their turn, so it didn't matter, some were full of jealousy, such as Liu Cai.

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at Liu Cai, and thought: This Liu Cai is now the meat on the chopping board, you can cut it as you want, if you don't make a mistake, you just pay it back, and you don't bother to repair him, you still have to have this kind of temperament for the general, but if you are not honest, then don't blame yourself for being polite! However, although Liu Cai was dissatisfied, he didn't have the courage to stand up and oppose it, and this was appointed by Zhang Jiao himself, is it useful to oppose it?

Zhuang Shaoyou saw that the queue gradually quieted down, and rode forward and said: "Presumably everyone already knows me, today is the first day of General Ben's appointment, I have a question to ask you, can everyone eat enough these days?" ”

There was another uproar in the queue below, what kind of problem is this? However, Zhuang Shaoyou's original team of 100 people was led by Qin Shichang and immediately replied: "I'm full!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou paused and continued: "Since everyone is full, then I will announce the rules of the cavalry battalion from now on: First, those who do not listen to the command will be fired!" If you don't listen to the command on the battlefield, you will not be forgiven! secondly, it is forbidden to rob the people, and it is forbidden to commit adultery with women"

Originally, everyone didn't have much reaction to the first one, listening to the command was a matter of course, and there was nothing to worry about, but the second thing that Zhuang Shao lobbied was that everyone couldn't accept it, and they had not done these things since the incident, but after the cavalry battalion was formed, under the constraints of Zhang Ning, this kind of behavior was obviously much less, and after a commotion in the queue, they reluctantly accepted it.

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at these Yellow Turban soldiers and continued: "Third, the training will start at the beginning of tomorrow, regardless of the size of the official position, if there are late, they will be expelled!" Those who don't care about training will be expelled! Those who do not meet the training standards, warning, warning three expulsions! ”

The soldiers below almost rioted after hearing this, training? Brains burned out, right? The new official took office with three fires, but there is no such burning method, right? When did we train the Yellow Turbans? It's still not that those who have served in the military before going to the battlefield are now teaching once, and they will naturally become proficient after killing a few times on the battlefield.

At this time, Liu Cai couldn't help it, stepped forward and said: "General Zhuang, this has not been trained before, and our Yellow Turban Army has never seen any troops trained, isn't it good to save some effort?" It was not easy for the brethren to live to breathe. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at him and said: "In the past, it was because I couldn't eat enough, so I didn't have the strength to train, but I seized so many things last time, and I've been full recently, isn't it, so I have the strength to train!" The training is to allow you to survive better when you go to the battlefield and increase your chances of survival, the cavalry battalion is the trump card of General Tiangong, since I have been given full responsibility, of course I must be worthy of General Tiangong's trust! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou paused and said: "I have already said the rules, if you can't do it, I won't be difficult for you, you can leave, I will never stop you, I'm talking about anyone!" His eyes were staring at Liu Cai all the time, and he wished that he would get out of this dog's day, and he panicked when he saw those dead triangular eyes!

Zhuang Shaoyou sorted out his thoughts, calmly looked at the rioting soldiers, and walked a little more! Lao Tzu doesn't have so much to support you, and you don't need such people, as long as there are a few hundred people who are willing to follow you with all their hearts!

The soldiers below stopped squeaking and left? Where to go? The whole Yellow Turban Army has the best food in the cavalry battalion, isn't it just to eat when you become a soldier? Now that you can eat enough, you will go hungry in ordinary troops? I don't know anyone in the ordinary army, maybe one day when they are hungry, they will chop and chop themselves and stew them, and they won't leave! Resolutely do not go!

Seeing that the soldiers below were silent, Zhuang Shaoyou secretly discussed, why didn't anyone leave? How much food do these people have to waste? continued: "With the rules out of the way, let's talk about the training rewards. There are 1,200 people in the whole camp, and those who are the top 200 in training every day will be rewarded with two catties of horse meat, and the top 600 will be rewarded with one catty."

As soon as the soldiers below heard that there was meat to eat, they immediately came to their senses, only to hear the sound of sucking saliva in the queue below, and no one objected at this time, but Zhang Ning stood up and frowned and said, "Where did you get the horse meat to give to everyone?" ”

"Hehe, the mountain people have their own tricks! Kill the horse! Zhuang Shaoyou looked like an old god was there, and Zhang Ning was on fire for a while, why is this guy so badly beaten?

"Kill the horse? You're fooling around! Marco is our baby, if you dare to kill the horse, the old lady will fight with you! "As soon as Zhang Ning heard this, he was on fire, and his cavalry battalion was handed over to him, and he actually killed his own horse as soon as he came? Zhou Cang was in a dilemma beside him, he wanted to eat meat, and he wanted to support Miss, so he was in a dilemma, and finally simply kept silent.

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at the expressions of the two, smiled, and explained: "The cavalry battalion originally had more than 2,000 horses, and last time I brought back 100 good horses, less than 300 were killed and wounded in the battle on the banks of the Qing River, and there are more than 1,800 left, but now there are only about 1,200 soldiers, and there are 600 more, which are just used to improve food, and I also call making full use of limited resources to do big things!" This input-to-output ratio is absolutely proportional! ”

"What output? What is proportional? I don't care about this, but it's definitely not okay to kill a horse! Auntie, I firmly disagree! The extra 600 horses can be recruited with more cavalry, but they can't be killed! Zhang Ning was firmly opposed.

"There are not many soldiers in the elite, what I want is an elite soldier who can fight a tough battle, an elite soldier who can rush forward without hesitation even in the face of thousands of troops! Those skinny horse hair is useless, and they are panting and panicking when they run two miles, and they waste hay, and 1,200 good horses are selected, and the rest are all clicked, and I am also a waste reuse! Let them make a greater contribution in a more suitable position!

Also, the forage for feeding the horses must be sufficient, so that the horses can grow fat, and they must not be as thin as donkeys! In addition, after the start of training, the soldiers' food must be guaranteed, how can they cut people if they can't eat enough? Take out all the food in stock, don't save it, it's pointless! Zhang Ning listens to orders! General Ben will leave these two things to you! If there is a mistake, don't blame General Ben for not being emotional! ”

"No! Forage and food must be kept for the winter, or you will starve to death in the winter! Zhang Ning retorted hatefully.

Zhuang Shaoyou was speechless for a while, spending the winter? The reason seems to be very good, but is there still winter? I can't get through this autumn, Zhang Jiao is about to fart, and the Yellow Turban Army is about to collapse, who else are you saving for? But these things are clear in your heart, and you can't say it, and you can't explain it for a while.

Zhuang Shaoyou was silent for a moment and said: "Comrade Zhang Ning, your father taught me the cavalry battalion to be fully responsible, he doesn't ask anymore, the cavalry battalion is now in my hands, you can do the food and forage matters, I have my own way to solve it in winter!" That's an order! ”

When Zhang Ning heard this guy say that he couldn't help but move out of her father, and he actually gave an order to Miss Ben? This is just the time to dare to do this to me, and I will have it in the future? But there was nothing to do, so I had to acquiesce, turn my head, and no longer take care of Zhuang Shaoyou.

Zhou Cang listened to the argument between the two and didn't care, it seemed to make sense, since this is the case, it is better to eat horse meat to your heart, so let's do it, I can't wait, horse meat!

Seeing that no one objected anymore, Zhuang Shaoyou arranged the personnel distribution again, Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhang Ning and Zhou Cang don't need to say that Liu Cai and Zhao Dadao are still the commanders, but each of them led 600 people, and their strength dropped greatly, and the hundred-man team to which they belonged now has less than seventy people left, and Qin Shichang Qin Ling was appointed as the new centurion.

However, there is no replenishment for the time being, and Zhuang Shaoyou has other plans.

After everything was dealt with, Zhuang Shaoyou asked Qin Ling to go to the stable to select 1,200 better horses, and the rest were kept in captivity alone to kill and eat meat, and Qin Ling happily went to do it.

That night, Zhuang Shaoyou was reading the military book in the tent to study tomorrow's training content, suddenly, the tent curtain was lifted, Zhang Ning walked into the tent angrily, and glared at Zhuang Shaoyou angrily, but he didn't say a word, Zhuang Shaoyou looked up and saw that it was Zhang Ning who came, knowing that this little Lori was looking for revenge for the day, and he didn't have the heart to tease her, but he couldn't help but have a big head, but his eyes rolled and said:

"My eldest lady, who made you angry again? People say that when a woman is angry, she will accelerate aging, and you don't want to become a yellow-faced woman soon, right? ”

"Really? After that, people try to get angry as little as possible, no, you bastard, don't change the subject! Miss Ben came to comment with you today, and gave you face in the school during the day, but you went too far! Quickly apologize to Miss Ben and give the sword to Miss Ben as an apology. ”

Zhang Ning was nervous at first when he heard that he would get old when he was angry, and then reacted. "Well, didn't I tell you, that sword can't be given to you, except for the sword, you can say whatever you like, you can give it to you, including myself." Zhuang Shaoyou replied helplessly.

"Whoa! Who wants you big bastard, shameless! Zhang Ning couldn't help but curse angrily when he heard this guy playing tricks

Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly said seriously: "Comrade Zhang Ning, are you talking to me in an official or private capacity now?" ”

Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the difference?" Why, do you want to put on an official show in front of Miss Ben, Miss Ben doesn't eat this set! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled and said: "If you are discussing the issue of the cavalry battalion with me in an official capacity, then I tell you that I will not change any decision, and you will go back to sleep immediately, this is an order, not a discussion!" If you are speaking to me in a private capacity, hehe, your father entrusted you to me yesterday, and now you are in my charge, I still order you to go back to sleep immediately! If you're going to sleep here, hehe, I'm welcome! ”

"You shameless! Well? What did you say? My dad entrusted me to you? Why? Where is my dad going? Zhang Ning asked suspiciously

Uh, I leaked my mouth, Zhuang Shaoyou secretly scolded himself, how did he say such a private word, how can he explain this to Zhang Ning? Can you tell her that your father is dying, so he entrusted you to me? So he played tricks again: "Oh, I lied to you just now, I'm just scaring and scaring you, beautiful girl, come and let my brother hug!" ”

That Zhang Ning was surprisingly not annoyed, but pondered for a moment and said: "I don't care about those things in the cavalry camp, and I don't ask, just do what you say, I came to ask why you were so fierce to others when you were in the school field in the morning, and also, did my father really say something to you?" I saw him sigh for a long time today, and the eyes of me were different."

Zhuang Shaoyou said in his heart: This little Lori is really sensitive, and she can feel the slightest clue! I couldn't help but sigh and said: "Although the situation is very good now, the situation of the Yellow Turban Army is not optimistic, and this winter is difficult to pass." ”

"I know all this, my two bastard uncles keep coercing my father, always thinking about annexing us, there is not enough food for the winter, I don't know how many people will freeze to death this winter. Didn't you say you had a way during the day? Can you tell someone about it? It's so reassuring for people, people haven't slept well these days. ”

Zhang Ning said very gently, as well-behaved as a kitten, and when he first came in, Zhuang Shaoyou felt distressed when he heard it, and couldn't help but get up and come over, stretched out his hands to hug her ***, and hugged her into his arms, Zhang Ning lay in Zhuang Shaoyou's arms in a daze, couldn't say a word, and some tears slipped down his eyes.

At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and a big rough voice shouted: "Brother Shaoyou, brother, I'm here again, do you still have a pig's elbow here?" Brother, I didn't eat enough at night. Zhou Cang came in, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and laughed on the side.

Zhang Ning was startled, hurriedly jumped out of Zhuang Shaoyou's arms, lightly hammered him with a pink fist, and then glared back at Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang was just about to withdraw so that this little lover could be in the world of the two, but he was hit by Zhang Ning's elbow on the waist, stumbled, and almost fell, after standing firm, Zhang Ning had already gone out of the account.

Zhuang Shaoyou scolded in his heart: This foodie, if you don't come sooner or later, Lao Tzu just wants to add more fire and rub more oil, you will make trouble! Don't try to get meat from me in the future! Foodie!
