Chapter 9 Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

The enemy skill is not much Mo Langchuan, and Xijing Yuan is Song Shanchuan.

Scholars can make a plan, and a strong man does not need to be shouldered.

"And the Inside Story Ji Mei" Song Cheng Gong Xu

In the next few days, as Du Wu guessed, the autumn was crisp and the road dries quickly. Xu is Du Wu's four-character proverb played a role, without Chen Xun's supervision, the pace of the army was much faster than before, and the originally dull team sometimes had a little laughter and singing. At first, it was just a few people humming quietly, but later more voices joined in, and in the end, all the troops sang in unison, and the whole army seemed to be in high spirits. Guangbai recited a Buddha name and followed closely behind Du Wu, deliberately separating the prison soldier from Du Wu half a meter away.

After three days of such a rapid march, everyone's enthusiasm slowly subsided, and the pace of the march slowed down considerably. Seeing that the army was a little tired, Du Wu ordered Chen Xun to take the scouts to the front to explore the place where the army was camping.

Since Qin Shi Huang, in order to facilitate the management of counties and counties and the leveling of the Six Kingdoms, Shang Jun built many pavilions in Daqin and sent pavilion chiefs to manage them, which was not only a grassroots unit for household registration management, but also convenient for transmitting military information. Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, worked as a pavilion chief before the rebellion. Since the time of Emperor Wu, in order to conquer the Xiongnu to facilitate the transmission of military information, a lot of trenches were built between cities, forming a message system of five miles and a trench, ten miles and a pavilion, and a post station in thirty miles, which has been continued. When Chen Xun led the team to find a place to camp, the army had just entered a post station and had a simple rest. In this way, it is more than 20 miles away from the next post station. Du Wu looked at the tired expressions of the army and realized that he might have to camp tonight.

Sure enough, the news that Chen Xun brought back was not very good, the nearest pavilion in front was still five or six miles away, and it was dilapidated, and it could not accommodate so many people. When the sky gradually darkened, Du Wu ordered the brigade to camp on the spot, and when the camp was arranged, it was almost dawn. The army had a full meal, and the fatigue of the day's work quickly came to their bodies, and everyone yawned and quickly fell asleep.

Du Wu habitually looked up at the sky and found that there was a halo around the moon, which was particularly obvious, and he couldn't help but have a headache. The moon is faint and windy, it seems that there will be a lot of wind tonight, but at the moment it is still calm, I don't know when the wind will blow, the wind is geometric.

Thinking of this, Du Wu licked his fingers and raised his fingers above his head, feeling the direction of the wind. Guangbai saw it, walked over and asked, "Master, is it going to be windy at night?" ”

Du Wu nodded and pointed to the moon.

"It's such a big hairy moon, it looks like it's really going to be windy, and this wind can't be small."

"Yes, Guangbai, you asked General Chen to summon all the generals and hold a meeting for the division."

"The disciple obeys."

In the small handsome tent, a group of people were crowded. Except for Guangbai who sat and the prison army who knelt down, everyone else sat on the ground with a grin. Du Wu didn't care and began to assign tasks.

"The army has been exhausted after a few days of marching, and will surely sleep more deeply tonight. We have approached Liangzhou, although there is a large army to escort us, but in recent years bandits have been rampant, and there are many people in the army, I am afraid that some bandits will take advantage of the night to rob grain and grass. Before nightfall, I watched the sky at night, and there will be wind in the second half of the night, and the wind should be not small, so you must be careful tonight. ”

Everyone said yes.

Du Wu also said: "Now the army is camped according to the mountain, the east side of the mountain is gentle outside, the inside is steep, in order to prevent thieves from climbing up from the back of the mountain to attack at night, Chen Xun led 300 foot soldiers to occupy the back mountain first, one to block the enemy, two to warn, three to you are high and far-sighted, you can command the battle, as long as the battle starts, the generals will listen to your dispatch." ”

When Chen Xun heard this, he quickly stood up: "The last general doesn't dare, the last general has never been on the battlefield, I'm afraid it's also, I'm afraid it's also a rhetoric......" At this point, I couldn't say any more.

Du Wu waved his hand: "You sit down and listen to me." The so-called employment is not suspicious, you were born in a military family, and you have spent some days in the Western Regions Protectorate, you can be a real general under the influence of your ears and eyes, but you lack experience in battle. Ben will remember that you once swore in front of the spirit seat of the Hou in the Guannai that you would become a generation of famous generals. ”

Chen Xun's eyes were slightly red.

Du Wu said again: "In this case, Ben will believe in you, and is willing to give you this opportunity, do it well, think of various coping strategies, and the lives of Ben and more than 2,000 soldiers and civilians will be in your hands." After Du Wu finished speaking, he patted Chen Xun on the shoulder heavily.

Chen Xun immediately knelt on the ground: "The last general will not disgrace his mission, protect the general and the grain and grass, and never die!" ”

Du Wu stepped forward and helped him up: "Tonight is just in case, maybe there are no thieves, so there is no need to be so solemn." Take the golden cymbals, and once the enemy situation is discovered, the gold will be warned and the troops will be commanded with rockets. ”

Chen Xun sang loudly, took the arrow and sat back, his waist obviously straightened.

Du Wu was about to continue to give orders, but the overseer in the corner said faintly: "General Zhenbei is so courageous, but he just put the life of the whole army on a milky child, and he is a little worried about the general!" ”

Du Wu turned his head to stare at the prison army, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Guangbai listens to orders!" ”

Guangbai Huo had to stand up: "The prison army Guangbai listens to the order!" ”

"Everything tonight, word for word, the flying pigeon passed the book to Zai Heng, and sent an urgent foot to the Chu Palace, the general wants to let Zai Heng rest assured~~"

The overseer listened to the last two elongated words, cold sweat fell down, like a thorn in the back, stood up and trembled: "The general is angry, the little one is just acting on orders, and I ask the general to have a lot of ......."

"No need, this general is a second-grade general named by the first emperor, even Zai Heng also admitted it, you are a small supervisor, you can faithfully perform your duties, what qualifications do you have to shout and point fingers in front of this general! If it weren't for the face of Zai Heng, this general would definitely cut you first and then play, you know, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected! What's more, in the Manchu Dynasty, no one knows that General Ben is Zai Heng's first think tank, and even General Ben's disciple Gao Liang Jiang is now a guest of the Chu Palace, not to mention that Wang Zisu, who is about to become the princess, is the general's beloved apprentice. Boy, if you want to live a long time and do things in a proper manner, it is more important than anything else, otherwise, General Ben doesn't mind leaving you in the Western Regions to feed the wolves! ”

The prison guard knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "The little one doesn't dare anymore, beg the general to spare his life!" I beg the general to spare his life! ”

Du Wu made a color, and Guangbai stepped forward and pulled up the prison army: "Don't panic the prison army, as long as the prison army does things well, when you go back, the poor monk will speak well for the prison army in front of Zai Heng." ”

Looking at this prison army again, he nodded again and again, and he no longer had the momentum he had at the beginning.

Wang Buliuxing and the others had never seen Du Wu so tough, and they were surprised but also a little surprised: the general finally showed his strong side, which made everyone look around and their joy was beyond words.

Du Wu sat down on the main seat again: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Lay in ambush in the woods to the west with a hundred crossbowmen and a hundred foot soldiers, and shoot the enemy at once when he finds it!"

"The last general commands!" Ma Liuliu came up to receive the arrow, glanced at the prison army with pity, raised the Liuhou crossbow in his hand, pursed the corners of his mouth, snorted coldly, and went out of the tent.

Du Wu ignored these small actions and continued to order: "Ma Xin listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"With two hundred foot soldiers, you are ambushed behind the stream to the south, but there are thieves who have escaped from here, and there is no mercy!"

"The last general commands!" Ma Xin also came up to receive the arrows, glanced at the prison guard, snorted and strode out.

"The king does not stay and obeys orders!"

"The last general!"

"You are a skilled horseman, and I would have delivered five hundred cavalry to you. Set up camp tonight, and do not erect a fence to keep the horses away, but lead your cavalry to patrol the camp, and if there is an enemy, sound a gong to warn you, and keep the enemy out at the first time. ”

"The last general commands!" Wang Buliu came forward, and was about to receive the arrow, when Du Wu gave another order: "You can divide the men and horses into five teams to patrol, and once you find the enemy, let the cavalry step on it." ”

Wang Buliuxing clasped his hands into fists, received the arrow, glared at the prison army fiercely, and turned out of the big tent.

"Euphorbia Huang listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

Du Wu plucked out his ears, and the voice of this yellow halberd was a little too loud.

"With the remaining 300 foot soldiers, you are responsible for protecting the safety of the people, grain and grass, oh yes, and our overseer, you must also protect it. If there is an enemy attack tonight, you only need to take people to resist it, and ask the sergeants and civilians to prepare a bag of sand each, and if there is a fire, you can throw it to extinguish it. ”

"The last general will obey the order!" Huang Da Halberd stepped forward to take the token and shook it at the prison army: "Lord Jian Jun, I will protect you well!" Hahaha! ”

With that, he strode out of the camp.

Du Wu stood up and walked to the door of the tent, and heard the exclamation of the sergeant behind him: "Overseer! Overseer! Wake up......"

The wind is blowing.

Guangbai came out of the tent, holding a big hat in his hand, and walked over to put it on Du Wu.

"Although the disciple has only been with the Guru for a short time, he has never seen the Guru so strong. Tonight, you are using the words of the prison army to stand up in front of the generals, right? ”

"How so?" Du Wu asked rhetorically.

"The disciple thinks that although the master is the general of Zhenbei who was personally appointed by the first emperor, the people in the army have never looked down on you, and the master is humble and rarely conflicts with others, so everyone thinks that the master is kind and can be bullied. Although the disciple is not in the army, he knows that the power of a general is the foundation of the army. When the disciple was hunting, if he encountered a lone wolf, the disciple would dare to fight him. If a herd of deer rushed together, the disciple had Ma Xin's golden bow and Ma Liu's crossbow in his hands, but he could only flee in the wilderness. Therefore, the disciple thought that the master was standing up tonight, and that the overseer was just an unlucky guy who happened to be in the meeting. ”

Du Wu didn't expect Guangbai to see it so thoroughly, and couldn't help but admire: "Guangbai's talent is better than Galangal, and he can be described as the first think tank under me." ”

Guangbai hurriedly knelt down: "The disciple is not talented, how dare he speak in front of the master?" The disciple is willing to serve the master all his life, and he will not be like Senior Brother Gao. ”

Du Wu smiled and pulled up Guangbai: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." Galangal learned the Tao, but he had to have a fur ear. On the first day I saw you, I taught you all the subtleties of Buddhism, and for the rest of the day, I only needed to study carefully and practice a lot, and one day I would become a master of Buddhism. ”

Guangbai added his forehead with his hands, and Amitabha Buddha in his mouth.

The third watch had arrived, and the two were about to return to the account, when Guangbai suddenly asked, "Why is the master so sure that there will be thieves robbing the camp tonight?" ”

Du Wu turned his head, looked at him seriously, and suddenly chuckled: "The Buddha said: Don't say, don't say, hahaha......"
