Chapter 12: Tian Mou and Zhang Chong
Yuan Qi turned around, faced the three thousand soldiers in the audience, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Those who offend me and merge with the state will be punished even if they are far away!"
In recent decades, the successive sons of heaven of the country have been greedy for pleasure, coupled with the increasingly fierce struggle between relatives and eunuchs, resulting in stagnation and even regression in various fields such as military, politics, and economics. As a result www.biquge.info slogans are not as loud as before. In recent years, there have been very few people shouting slogans anymore, after all, the people can't eat enough, and the soldiers can't receive their salaries.
But at this moment, as Yuan Qi shouted loudly, the three thousand sergeants in the audience looked at the second son, who was only ten years old, so arrogant, and they were also excited for a while, and shouted in unison: "Those who offend me and merge with the state will be punished even if they are far away! Those who offend me and merge with the state will be punished even if they are far away!!"
As soon as Yuan Qi waved his hand, the shouting from the audience immediately stopped, waiting for Yuan Qi to continue speaking. Yuan Qi shouted again: "Point General!"
The soldiers who were already in a neat queue in the audience once again reorganized the formation, striving to meet the Yuanqi generals with the most regular formation and the best appearance. Qi Tian, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, couldn't help but nod his head lightly, and whispered to himself: "This soldier is available." ”
Yuan Qi walked down the platform quickly, selecting the vanguard subordinates among the soldiers. Along the way, Yuan Qi picked out dozens of people through the contact of momentum, all of whom were tall and murderous warriors. There is a murderous aura on the body, which means that these soldiers are veterans who have been on the battlefield and have seen blood on their blades, and they are most suitable for being a forward force.
Suddenly, Yuan Qi felt someone watching him, and a strong feeling of asking for war came over his eyes. Turning his head, Yuan Qi found that a warrior who was about twenty years old, with a face like purple jade and eyes like stars, was looking at him intently, and his eyes were full of endless battle intent. Yuan Qi walked up to the warrior and asked, "Do you want to fight?" The warrior replied loudly: "I am willing to gallop on the battlefield with the second son!"
Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and patted the warrior on the shoulder, and asked, "What is your name, and where is your ancestral hometown?" The warrior with a face like purple jade replied, "I am from Yanmen, and my name is Zhang Chong. ”
Yuan Qi did not hesitate, and said to Zhang Chong: "From now on, you will be promoted to military marquis and my deputy general." After hearing Yuan Qi's appointment, everyone, including Zhang Chong himself, looked at Yuan Qi in disbelief. Only Qi Tian on the side bowed his head slightly, and through observation, Qi Tian saw that Zhang Chong's martial arts were extraordinary, his momentum was calm, and he was indeed a good material.
Zhang Chong hesitated and said: "The military marquis of Yiqu, commanding five hundred soldiers, dare to ask why the second prince handed over such a heavy burden to an unknown junior like Chong?"
Yuan Qi laughed and said: "Today's unknown junior, how can he know that he can't defend one side for the future? Don't forget, I'm just a nobody. Could it be that you Zhang Chong is afraid of war?" Zhang Chong was aroused by Yuan Qi's first half of the sentence, and was aroused by the second half of the sentence to be competitive, and his face turned purple with sauce, uh, Zhang Chong was originally like purple jade, but when Yuan Qi was excited, the blush floated on his face, and it turned into sauce purple.
With a purple face, Zhang Chong said loudly: "Chong leads the order! I am willing to follow the second prince to saddle up and kill the thief!" Yuan Qi nodded, and then he didn't say anything, turned around and continued to order troops. Zhang Chong hurriedly took a step forward, pressed his sword and followed Yuan to get up, as if he was Yuan Qi's subordinate.
Troops were ordered all the way, and in the end, there were 497 people from the starting point of the Yuan, counting himself, Qi Tian and Zhang Chong, it was exactly 500 people. After the point was completed, Yuan Qi walked back to the front of the point general, saluted to the Yuan Ying on the stage and said: "Yuzhou Mu, the captain Yuan Qi has finished the soldiers." ”
Yuan Ying glanced at Qi Tian, who was standing beside Yuan Qi with his hands down, in the past two years, Qi Tian had also been invited by Yuan Qi to come to the State Pastoral Mansion several times as a guest, so Yuan Ying also knew Qi Tian. Yuan Ying knew that although Qi Tian was not his subordinate, he was Yuan Qi's eldest brother, and his martial arts were outstanding, and with him by Yuan Qi's side, Yuan Ying also put a lot of heart. Walking down the platform quickly, Yuan Ying came to Yuan Qi, but he turned his head to Qi Tian and said: "The soldiers are in danger, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will help Yuan Qi more." ”
Qi Tian saluted and said, "Uncle is relieved, but if I have a breath, I will not allow anyone to bully my brother." Yuan Ying's expression relaxed a little, then he turned his head, glanced at Yuan Qi deeply, and said loudly: "Captain Yuan Qi, lead the troops first!"
Yuan Qi clasped his fists and saluted, and replied loudly: "No!"
The next moment, the mustache led Yuan Qi and Qi Tian's mounts, Yuan Qi turned over and jumped on the jade unicorn, took the halberd handed by the mustache, the tip of the halberd pointed straight to the sky, and shouted: "The vanguard belongs, get on the horse!" Qi Tian and Zhang Chong took the lead in flying and jumping on their respective mounts, and then raised the weapon in their hands, pointing directly at the sky like Yuan Qi. Then, the four hundred and ninety-seven soldiers under Yuan Qi jumped on horseback at the same time, raised their weapons in unison, and also pointed straight to the sky.
Yuan Qi suddenly waved down his halberd and shouted: "Go to the battle!" Qi Tian, Zhang Chong and the rest of the soldiers shouted: "Go out! Go out!! Go out to !!"
After shouting three times, the 500 pioneers jumped on their horses and raised their whips, and with a whirlwind, they rushed out of the military academy on horseback, and they really looked like fierce tigers and dragons! The rest of the sergeants under Yuan Ying's subordinates were boiling with enthusiasm and cheered hoarsely for their fellow 500 pioneers: "Kill, kill!!, kill !!."
All the way to the north, Yuan Qi led the vanguard troops to quickly advance to the frontier, and it took two days to come to the border of Bingzhou. This is also the border of the country, and to the north is the place where the Xin barbarians operate.
Looking at the village that had been destroyed by Xin Man, Yuan Qi sighed, turned around and said: "Zhang Chong, you take a few brothers into the village to see if there are still living people, if there are survivors, you can save them quickly." Zhang Chong promised, waved a few soldiers, and rode into the village.
Three moments later, a sergeant rushed out, turned over and dismounted in front of Yuan Qi, clasped his fists and said, "Second Prince, uh, General Yu, General Zhang has found a few survivors in the village. General Zhang is investigating Xin Man's military situation. Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go, take me and my eldest brother in to have a look." ”
The sergeant turned on his horse and led Yuan Qi and Qi Tian towards the village. After Yuan Qi and the others entered the village, they saw Zhang Chong asking a few young people dressed as hunters. The young men said: "The Xin barbarians are about five or six thousand people, the leader seems to be called some kind of left guard, after they rode into the village, they brandished a long knife and killed all the young and middle-aged people in the village, and then robbed the village of money and food, and abducted all the young women, and then set fire to the village, a few of us hunted in the mountains not far away, and saw the atrocities of those Xin barbarians, and when we drove down from the mountains and wanted to fight with the Xin barbarians, they had already ridden away. One of the young hunters cried and said to Zhang Chong: "General, hundreds of people in our whole village have all been killed by those god-killing Xin barbarians, and my daughter-in-law, who has not yet passed the door, has also been taken away by the Xin barbarians, please make the decision for us." ”
Yuan got up and walked up, stretched out his hand and patted the weeping young hunter on the shoulder, and said, "We are here to repair these barbarians this time, and the blood debt will be repaid with blood after all." After hearing Yuan Qi's words, the remaining surviving Orion Fox looked at Yuan Qi suspiciously, completely unable to understand how the dignified soldiers could send a young general who was more than ten years old.
Zhang Chong saw the confusion of the Orions, so he explained: "Everyone, this is our chief general, the second son of the Yuan Gong of the State Mu!" The Orions heard that Yuan Qi was the son of Yuan Ying, and they all looked relieved. Yuan Ying is different from other state pastors, not only as a royal clan, but also diligent in governance, never done anything to fish the people, and also advocates thrift on weekdays, which is deeply popular with the people. It is also a good reputation for both civil and military affairs since childhood, which also reassures the hunters. What's more, he is the second son of the Tangtang Zhou herdsman's family, and he dared to go to the front line when he was only a teenager, who doesn't admire this courage?
The young Orion, who was crying bitterly, knelt down in front of Yuan and said, "The villain is willing to follow the little general, carry the whip and stirrup, and fight against the Xin Man!" Yuan Qi helped the Orion up and asked, "What's your name, why do you want to follow me?" Orion replied, "The villain's name is Tian Mou, and he is a local Orion." The villain's wife, who did not pass through the door, was kidnapped by the Xin barbarians, and her life and death were unknown. The villain would rather join the army to fight against the barbarians and save more couples from the hardships of the barbarians. ”
Yuan Qi turned back to Zhang Chong and said, "Zhang Chong, give him a horse, from today on, Tian Mou will be a staff member in our army." Tian Mou was surprised when he heard this, he never thought that when they met for the first time, Yuan Qi entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. A few days ago, he was still an ordinary sergeant, but because of the words of his young master, he was now a marquis in command of five hundred sergeants.
Seeing Zhang Chong lead a horse and hand the reins to his hand, Tian Mou knelt down in front of Yuan again, with two lines of tears on his face: "Mou deeply feels the grace of the lord's knowledge, although he has no regrets." ”
