Chapter 281: Cutting the Soft Eggs and Establishing the Army's Might
In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, Lin Yu ordered his subordinates to blow the horn and gather in the open space of the Yuyuan Pass camp:
Since there was no notice in advance, the soldiers came in a hurry, and those who didn't know thought that the enemy was coming!
"Black egg, what's going on, why did the general let us gather so early?" a soldier asked one of the people next to him.
"I don't know, maybe there's an emergency military situation, but it doesn't look like it!" The soldier named Black Egg replied, scratching his head.
Another scholar, who looked more elegant, pointed to a big red notice not far ahead: "It's not an emergency military situation, it's that the general wants to strengthen training and select the outstanding ones from among our people, and he also said that those who get the best will be rewarded very richly!"
As soon as he heard that there was a reward, the soldier's eyes immediately lit up and asked, "Xiucai, don't sell it, what kind of reward is it?"
Xiucai shook his head and said, "What kind of reward is this, I didn't say anything specific." β
For this answer, Hei Dan was obviously a little disappointed, let out a long sigh, and said, "Didn't you say it, isn't that funny?"
"Who said that it was funny, General Ben has never been funny, there is no joke in the army, you have been a soldier for so many years, don't you know this truth?"
When the black egg heard this, he was still arrogant just now, but now he immediately became a frosted eggplant, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Yu's eyes with his head down.
"Why, do you have the courage to say it, but don't you have the courage to admit it?" Lin Yu asked again in a loud voice.
There was still silence below, and no one dared to come out and answer. The black egg buried his head tightly in the crowd, hoping to escape the catastrophe.
Lin Yu's eyes as sharp as a sword glanced around at everyone, zuihou fell on Hei Dan's body, and said: "Hei Dan, I seem to have heard you talking just now, who said I was playing, I think you should know, as long as you say it, I will immediately reward you with a thousand taels of silver, how about it?"
When he heard the words of a thousand taels of silver, the eggplant that was still frosted just now immediately turned into a big rooster with chicken blood, and without saying a word, he pointed to Xiucai and said, "Hui Gongzi's words were said by Li Xiucai." β
Lin Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, then shifted his gaze to Li Xiucai's body, and asked, "Xiucai, what the black egg said is true?"
Li Xiucai paused for a moment, and responded, "I said it." β
Lin Yu's face became a little more colorful, and he asked, "Then do you know how to deal with spreading rumors in the army and bewitching the army's hearts according to military law?"
Li Xiucai's expression was like a thin layer of frost, and his voice trembled a little in response: "According to the law, you should be killed!"
Lin Yu smiled coldly and said, "Okay, since you know that you should be cut according to the law, then I'll ask you again, did you say it?"
Hei Dan was already frightened into a cold sweat, and before Li Xiu could speak, he pointed at him and shouted: "That's what he said, that's what he said, that's what he said......"
Li Xiucai didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu's face sank a lot, and he asked, "Then are you afraid of death?"
Li Xiucai paused for a moment, and replied with a squeak: "I'm afraid!"
Lin Yu waved his hand to his soldiers and said, "Take him down for me!"
Seeing the two soldiers walking out of his sight with Li Xiucai, the big stone in Heidan's heart immediately fell, and he thought of the one thousand taels of silver that was about to arrive, and his heart couldn't help but feel happy, and he was almost happy.
Thinking of this, Hei Dan's brain had a feeling of being kicked by a donkey, and he immediately stood up and asked tremblingly: "Young General, I don't know when my reward will be cashed?"
Lin Yu frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Then why did you get this reward, and this general should also write down the reason?"
Hei Dan paused for a moment, and responded: "Major General Hui, the small one is Sun Xiucai, who reported rumors in the army, and only got this reward." β
A cold smile flashed on the corner of Lin Yu's mouth, and he said, "Oh, then you say, what reward should you get for betraying your comrades-in-arms, and even letting your comrades-in-arms sacrifice their lives to get money for themselves?"
When the black egg heard this, the big rooster that was beaten with chicken blood immediately turned into a frosted eggplant, and he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and directly pounced, knelt on the ground, his face was like ashes, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The young general spares his life, the young general spares his life......"
Lin Yu pointed ahead and said, "I'll give you dozens of times now, as long as you can escape from the attack range of my Qingfeng Sword, then I will spare you." β
The black egg was stunned when he heard this, and his face was full of stunned expression.
Lin Yu glanced at him coldly and said, "Now that the timer has started, why don't you hurry up and run!"
"Ten!"
Hearing this, Hei Dan was so frightened that he ran away, thinking that before he joined the army, he was found to be cheating with his neighbor's wife, and he didn't run as fast as this time.
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
..................
"Three!"
"One!"
However, dozens of times, the black egg has run to a hundred steps away, if you don't use light work, I'm afraid in such a short period of time, it is difficult to run out of a hundred steps, that saying is really right, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, and dogs will jump off the wall when they are in a hurry.
At this time, all the soldiers on the field opened their eyes wide, the black egg was in the barracks, relying on his daughter-in-law and child disease to go to bed several times, just like a big rooster with chicken blood all day long, dangling back and forth, bullying newcomers, insulting veterans, gathering crowds to gamble, and even robbing people's daughters, these are commonplace for him, but because of the relationship between his wife and Tong Disease, many people just dare to be angry and dare not speak.
Therefore, for his current fate, he basically watched it with the mood of watching the show, and the soldiers who were often bullied by the black eggs clenched their fists tightly and shouted in their hearts for relief.
However, at this time, the black egg had already run out more than a hundred paces, and it seemed that the young general wanted to kill him, but it seemed that it was impossible, after all, what he was holding in his hand was only a sharp sword, not a longbow, even if the Qingfeng Sword was sharp, it was impossible to take someone else's head a hundred steps away.
Even the black egg felt that he had run far enough, so he didn't want to run so desperately just now, he even stopped directly, and looked at Lin Yu with a sarcastic smile on his face.
He knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for him, as long as General Tong came, Lin Yu would have to weigh his own weight if he wanted to kill himself.
Lin Yu's eyes were like a sword out of the sheath, staring closely at the black egg a hundred steps away, and the breeze sword in his hand pierced the sky with a whoosh, flying out like a dragon going out to sea.
Before everyone could react, they only heard a scream from a hundred paces away.
When he reacted, the black egg's body had already staggered and fell, and then looking at Lin Yu, the Qingfeng Sword had returned to the scabbard at some point, as if nothing had happened.
Many soldiers couldn't believe the scene in front of them, and wiped their eyes with their sleeves, but no matter how they wiped their eyes, the scene they saw was the same, the black egg died.
At this time, two soldiers dragged out the body of the black egg, and one of them said: "Major General Qiyu, the black egg has been killed by a sword sealing his throat!"
Lin Yu waved his hand and motioned for them to drag the corpse of the black egg around inside.
Lin Yu paused for a moment, a cold smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Everyone, you can see clearly with your eyes wide open, this is the end of betraying your teammates and becoming a traitor, and don't think that you see that I am still relatively young, so I think that I can be fooled with some small tricks, my eyes are really real, if you still want to try whether the Qingfeng Sword in my hand is sharp enough, you can just come and give it a try!"
Hearing Lin Yu's words, everyone knelt down in unison and shouted loudly: "The last general will not dare, the last general will not dare, the last general will not dare to ......."
Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay if you don't dare, let's get up!"
After seeing that everyone got up, Lin Yu said with a serious expression: " Now the rebels are in turmoil, and the army will be pressed in a few days, we have been fighting for the land since ancient times, and it is also the gateway to the southeast of Luoyang City, once the Luoyuan Pass is broken, the entire Luoyang City will be exposed to the rebels' iron cavalry, now the Yellow River is flooding, the plague is rampant, the people are displaced, the money and food allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief are all corrupted by Liu Baichuan, these court moths, and now Liu Baichuan has been ambushed, and some of the money he embezzled has been distributed to the people by my fatherγ Now that the lives of the people have just improved a little, we must not let the flames of this war affect them again, and we must not let them fall into misery again. β
After saying this, Lin Yu glanced around at everyone's expressions, then cleared his throat and continued: " Ladies and gentlemen, what you are guarding is not only the land under our feet, but also your brothers and sisters, parents and villagers, the tragedy of Lianzi Village the day before yesterday must have been known to everyone, although the rebels are under the banner of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but they are doing things that are inferior to beasts in private, everyone think about it, if it is such an army, if it breaks through the Yuyuan Pass and invades Luoyang City, your wives, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters, parents and villagers...... What should they do, do you want to see tragedy happen to them again?"
"I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to ......"
"Swear to death not to let the rebels step half a step through the Yuyuan Pass! Swear to die not to let the rebels step half a step through the Yuyuan Pass! Swear to die not to let the rebels step through the Yuyuan Pass for half a step......"
..................
Hearing the deafening shouts below, Lin Yu nodded slightly, then waved his hand, signaled them to stop, and said: "Since you don't want to, then take out your sweat and efforts to protect your home and relatives, only the man who has spilled blood and sweat is a real man, and he is the real warrior who guards my Daming country!"
