Chapter 338: Battle (2)
Xu Jing didn't take this episode to heart, and walked around the barracks before returning to the military tent.
Xu San retreated, and Xu Shiyi stayed on duty for the night. Xu Shiyi whispered to his master, "Is the prince deliberately provoking the second prince of Murong tonight?"
Xu Jing snorted from his nose: "He's an idiot!"
Even Xu Jing knew that there was something wrong with the pro-soldiers sent by Murong Shen. Murong Ke was stupid, he didn't know anything, and he didn't take the slightest guard.
Once something happens in the barracks, the unlucky person is Murong Ke.
Coolness flashed in Xu Shiyi's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the little one has been sending people to keep an eye on them. Whenever there is any movement, there will be people coming and going."
Xu Jing nodded slightly: "There is also Murong Shen's internal response in the Tiger Camp. How many have you found out now?"
Xu Shiyi replied in a low voice, "Twenty have been found now, and people have been sent to keep an eye on them. The little ones continue to send people to investigate."
Xu Jing snorted.
Last year, when he recruited new troops, he was on guard. For more than half a year, a lot of them have been secretly found. I'm afraid there are still some of them, hidden even deeper.
When leading the troops to charge, the cold arrows flying from the back were more terrifying than the thousands of troops and horses in front.
The more Murong Shen is silent and forbearing, he must not be negligent, let alone underestimate Murong Shen.
On the third watch, Xu Jing went to bed. Before going to bed, he reached out and groped under the pillow and found two handwritten letters from his crescent sister.
Xu Jing read it and kissed it on the letter paper to relieve the pain of lovesickness. Finally, he put the letter on his chest and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Early the next morning, Xu Jing convened a meeting of the generals in the military tent.
Those who are qualified to enter the military tent are at least at the level of generals and above, a total of more than 20 people. Liao Xima, the military judge, also came, he didn't know about war, and he didn't intervene at will. However, he is here, representing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. For all the generals in the army, it is a silent deterrent.
Shen Sheren led people out again today to "raise grain and grass".
The generals in the military tent were clearly divided into two factions. One faction is the Xiao Riding Battalion, and most of them are in their thirties and forties. On the other side were the young generals of the Tiger battalion.
In the past, the two factions competed openly and secretly clashed constantly. Now, with Gao Wang's respect for the prince of Beihai, the generals of the Xiaocai Battalion are much more docile.
After most of the discussion, the list of generals who would go on the expedition in two days was set, and the generals retired and dispersed.
As soon as Gao Wang came out of the military tent, he saw a familiar young man's face.
This young man, only fifteen years old, has a hot face. In Gao Wang's eyes, he is a hairy boy whose hair has not yet grown.
It was Murong Ke, the second son of the Murong family.
Because Murong Shen regretted his marriage for no reason, the Gao family and the Murong family did not deal with each other very much. Gao Wang saw Murong Ke, and he didn't have a good face: "Murong Ke, what are you doing here?"
Murong Ke didn't sleep all night last night, and he came to stand outside Xu Jingjun's tent early this morning for a long time, and his legs were numb. He straightened up and replied, "I've come to ask the prince for battle."
Please have a hairy battle!
Gao Wang scoffed: "You can't forget the rules in the barracks. It is the business of the chief general who will send him to the expedition and who he will send to stay in the barracks. You are a junior lieutenant, what kind of war, please. Get back in here!"
Murong Ke didn't move: "I'm not leaving!"
Gao Wang was also angry, and sneered, "This is a military camp, not Murong Mansion. You dare to make trouble here, don't talk about the world, I can't spare you!"
With a sweep of his gaze, several pro-soldiers came over, stretched out their hands to hold Murong Ke's arm and dragged him back.
Murong Ke was shocked and angry, struggling: "Let go of me! Let me go!"
The soldiers behind Murong Ke immediately rushed over to save their master. The two parties are on a pair, you push me and I kick you, and they quickly moved.
Murong Ke's hands and feet could move, and he quickly rushed to Gao Wang, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, but before he could speak, he was kicked by Gao Wang.
Murong Ke was kicked a few meters away, and tears were about to rush out in pain, and a carp turned over and flipped up from the ground: "Gao Wang! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Gao Wang sneered: "That's it."
Murong Shen is here, and when he sees me, he will politely call General Gao. You can call me by my name."
In the army, in terms of seniority, age, and official position, high hopes can beat Murong Ke.
Murong Ke's anger from last night to this moment was ignited by these two words. He rushed forward angrily and punched Gao Wang's face.
Gao Wang flashed quickly, and his right hand twisted Murong Ke's arm. Murong Ke suddenly broke free, his right leg was like lightning, and he kicked Gao Wang's left leg.
However, Gao Wang was tall and strong, and he was kicked and only took two steps back.
Murong Ke didn't say a word, and continued to rush forward to make a move. His martial arts talent is not as good as that of his brother Murong Shen, and he is also considered to have good qualifications, and he has worked hard to practice martial arts for ten years, and his skills are really not weak. However, he is not as experienced as the enemy, and he is not as ruthless as Gao Wang. A few shots fell behind.
The noisy movement of the crowd quickly attracted Xu Jing.
Xu Jing shouted angrily: "Stop!"
Murong Ke reflexively stopped. Gao Wang's fist didn't have time to retract and hit Murong Ke's left shoulder. Murong Ke snorted, his face turned pale, and he glared at him angrily: "Shizi let him stop, why are you still fighting?"
Gao Wang ignored Murong Ke, turned his head to Xu Jing and said, "Shizi, I'm sorry, the last general didn't stop his hand just now, and he didn't mean to disobey the order of the Shizi."
Xu Jing frowned and reprimanded: "You can't make trouble in the barracks for no reason, you two are knowingly committing crimes. Come, drag them down, and beat them with twenty sticks!"
Gao Wang and Murong Ke were dragged to beat the military sticks, and their own soldiers were not spared, lying on the ground neatly. Sturdy sticks crackled and fell.
Murong Ke broke out in a cold sweat in pain, gritted his teeth and endured it.
When he turned his head to look, he was angry with Murong Ke.
Gao Wang was also being beaten with a military stick, and the movement sounded a little bigger than his side. Gao Wang was also grinning, but insiders knew at a glance that he was pretending.
Those who fight with military sticks in the army are all good hands, and the severity is between the hands. Sometimes it is light and fluttering, which can make people's internal organs shattered, and some military sticks move a lot, but in fact, it is a skin injury. Lie down for three or five days and you'll be fine.
Gao Wang's current military stick is obviously the latter.
The marching stick did not dare to beat Murong Ergongzi to death, but the pain of flesh and skin was inevitable.
Murong Ke was beaten with twenty military sticks, and his buttocks were about to be broken. After receiving the baton, he was carried back to the military tent. A military doctor was called in to apply the medicine. Murong Ke lay on the bed, tears streaming down his face.
Peng Si and others were beaten heavier and more severely.
"Peng Si, what should we do now?" The dead soldier who had been beaten together endured the pain and asked in a low voice.
They still have a "heavy responsibility" on their shoulders!
Peng Si's eyes were red with pain, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Wait until the injury is healed and then look for a chance."
