Zhang Fan came out of the big tent and saw a pawn come forward. He said, "General, please come with me." Our tent is over there. As he spoke, he pointed to a spot on the outskirts of the barracks near the woods. Seeing this, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Let's go." So saying, the two of them walked quickly.

After a while, the two came to the tent, and Zhang Fan saw a group of soldiers sitting lazily on the ground by the tree from a distance, in a bad state, so he asked the pawns next to him: "I didn't go to the wrong place, are these the soldiers assigned to me by the marshal?" The man said: "General, we are all soldiers who are weak and have not cultivated well, and they can rarely come in handy." Everyone has no hope of being promoted, and they can't get rich, so they are not optimistic about this western expedition. Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Then why don't you sit here and rest like them?" The pawn said: "The general smiled, the little one used to be a member of the scout camp, but because he was short and had no money to honor the officials, he was demoted here." However, the little one was used to running his legs before, and he couldn't be idle, and he heard that the general was benevolent and brave, so he became a liaison in the camp. ”

Zhang Fan smiled: "Okay, let's go in and have a look." With that, Zhang Fan strode towards a slightly dilapidated tent in the middle. But as soon as he approached, he heard the woman's crying and the man's shouting coming from the tent, and his heart was cold, and his face was covered with clouds. He held the black sword in his hand, entered the camp tent, and at a glance saw two half-clad soldiers teasing a young girl, and seven or eight strong men were sitting around a wooden table shouting and gambling, as if they didn't see Zhang Fan coming.

When the pawns beside Zhang Fan saw this, they immediately shouted: "Why don't you come and see the general?" laughed and said: "Liu San'er, you go away, don't be interested in bad old people." ”

Zhang Fan smiled faintly and said, "What about me?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Qi Qi turned around, and when he saw Zhang Fan, he bowed his head and said loudly: "My subordinates wait to meet General Zhang!" Zhang Fan smiled: "You guys seem to be having a good time just now, do you want me to go out first and let you have fun before you come in?" Everyone was terrified when they heard this: "The general is angry, and the subordinates should die." Zhang Fan smiled and said: "Then what did you say you did wrong?" Everyone said: "Subordinates should not gamble and make noise in the general's tent." And ......"

"Molestation girl!" Zhang Fan shouted angrily. Everyone was so frightened by Zhang Fan that they were trembling and were about to cry. Liu San hurriedly said: "The general is angry, everyone was bored before. Therefore, resting in the army to pass the time, he is actually waiting for the general to come and order. Zhang Fan stared at Liu San and said, "Really?" he kicked him out of the tent. Seeing this, everyone cried and said: "The general spares his life, and the subordinates are really waiting for the general in the tent." Just bored. So I played in the big tent. Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Then who of you knows, what punishment should be given for not abiding by military rules, having an untidy military appearance, gathering crowds to gamble, and molesting women?"

The crowd was silent when they heard this. Zhang Fan shouted: "Say!" A thin man cried when he heard this: "The general spares his life, the little one knows, but the little one doesn't dare to say it." Zhang Fan shouted: "Then do you dare to die?" The man was silent when he heard this. Zhang Fan said angrily: "You are soldiers. If you don't even have the consciousness of death, how can you meet and kill the enemy? How can you be called a soldier of my Great Qi?" When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison: "Dare, dare, dare!" Zhang Fan smiled and said: "Okay! You have the determination to fight to the death, so you can be regarded as a soldier." But it is not enough for a true soldier to have the courage to die. A brave soldier must not only have the courage to die, but also have a strong physique, a smart mind, and more importantly, iron discipline!"

Zhang Fan said lightly: "You were openly frolicking in the army before, gambling and molesting women, and you should have been killed for public use." The crowd was silent. Zhang Fan then said: "However, since you have a heart to die, then your head is temporarily on your neck, if you do not fulfill your promise in the future, and then dare to lead the soldiers to play in the army or wantonly play with women, you will die a hundred times and be unable to atone for your crimes." Everyone shouted loudly: "The general has an order, and if his subordinates are slack, they will have no face to meet the general." ”

Zhang Fan said in a loud voice: "Okay! I will let you go for the time being, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped! From now on, you will be ordinary soldiers, and only those who have made meritorious contributions can be promoted and get more military salaries." The crowd said: "The subordinates wait to listen to the general's orders." Zhang Fan continued: "You know what I can do, even if I am a congenital peak peerless master, I can't escape the sword of this general." If you dare to break the military rules again, don't think about seeing the sun the next day, let alone live happily. But if you make Ben satisfied, then Ben will not be stingy with money. The crowd said, "General Xie!"

Seeing the appearance of everyone, Zhang Fan said lightly: "You go down, return to the army immediately, and order the soldiers belonging to the general to gather in front of the camp tent, and those who do not have a quarter of an hour will be expelled from the barracks!" Everyone shouted: "Yes, general." So saying, the crowd rushed out.

Zhang Fan saw that the big tent suddenly fell silent, and there was only a gray-clothed girl in front of him who was crying silently. Seeing this, his anger ignited again in his heart, but he calmed down again, knowing that Gao Yu gave him this thousand inferior pawns clearly because he didn't want to let himself get involved with him, and at the same time humiliated himself and wanted to spoil his own interest, but Zhang Fan was a person who cultivated to a high level and a noble heart, and he would not be angry lightly or reckless enough to kill a few more of his only 1,000 soldiers. He would not do this kind of self-cutting thing, although this can also deter soldiers, but each of them is his only new force, Zhang Fan believes that he can train them all into brave soldiers, and train them into loyal to his army. Thinking of this, his originally gloomy face gradually revealed a faint gentle smile.

"Will ...... The general ......" a timid female voice suddenly sounded. The girl who had been sitting on the ground and weeping spoke. Zhang Fan glanced at the girl and asked, "Where are you from?" The girl said: "General Hui, the slave maid was originally a person in the Huotou camp, and she usually helped her grandfather cook and feed the horses. Zhang Fanqi said: "Didn't they take it from outside?" The girl replied: "No, the slave maid was picked up and raised by the grandfather, and tonight they said that the general was coming, and called the slave maid to serve the general." When they saw the slave and the maid, they laughed at the slave and the maid. Hearing this, Zhang Fan said lightly: "I see, you go back, I don't need anyone here." When the girl heard this, she cried and said, "General, the slave can wash your clothes, cook for you, and make your bed, so you can leave the slave and maid." Zhang Fan smiled: "It's not that I dislike you, but your grandfather must be old, you should go back to help your grandfather." The girl was silent.

Zhang Fan asked, "What's wrong?" The girl remained silent. Zhang Fan then asked: "What's wrong? Your grandfather was beaten? Who is it, Ben Jiang will never let this kind of thing happen in the future." The girl sobbed, "Grandpa is gone." Zhang Fan was surprised: "Your grandfather was killed by them!" The girl cried: "No, grandpa is missing." He was still in bed yesterday, and this morning the slave woke up and did not see him. The slave maid wanted to ask the general to help the slave maid find her grandfather, woo woo ......" Zhang Fan said: "My sergeant is missing, this is a big deal." Ben will help you. You'll stay here for the time being, and I'll go out and have a look. The girl nodded. Then Zhang Fan went out.

As soon as Zhang Fan came out of the camp, he saw all the soldiers standing in front of him, only a few minutes had passed from just now to now, he didn't expect that these soldiers were not as bad as he imagined.

"The infantry of the miscellaneous battalion has seen the general!" As soon as the soldiers saw Zhang Fan coming out, they got up and said. Zhang Fan glanced at the nearly 1,000 soldiers in front of him, and said loudly: "All the soldiers, this general was ordered to take charge of the miscellaneous battalion, with the intention of training the soldiers of our army to be as brave as the forbidden army, and go into battle with the army to kill the enemy. Now the thieves have invaded the west, damaged my territory, slaughtered my people, separated countless families, destroyed their families, turned countless old and young into bones, and countless women became the playthings of others. As soldiers, you have shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting your home and defending the country, but now that the thieves are invading, are you willing to see the people of our country slaughtered by them!" The crowd shouted: "No!" Zhang Fan continued: "Do you want to see your relatives, wives and children taken captive by them?" Zhang Fan said again: "Do you want the grain, gold and silver you have worked so hard to get to be squandered by them?" Never die! Swear to kill the thief! Never die! Swear to kill the thief! Never die......"

Seeing this, Zhang Fan said in a loud voice: "Soldiers! Our Qi country has been stable for 20 years, and the Li Min Dynasty originally had food to eat and clothes to wear at night, but now the thieves covet the wealth of our country and brazenly send troops to invade, we should swear to kill the thieves! The bloody battle will continue!" Zhang Fan continued: "The general promised that all the soldiers would have food to eat and clothes to wear, and those who usually train hard will be rewarded with gold and silver." In wartime, meritorious service not only had gold and silver to be gained, but the general also taught him advanced martial arts! The crowd shouted: "General Xie! The subordinates obey the general's orders, swear to kill the thief, and fight endlessly!"

Zhang Fan said: "Okay! As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely fulfill your promise." After a while, the army will be drawn out, and when you go back, you must check the armaments and money and rations, and if there is any one who is in dire need of knowledge, I will equip you with enough armor and weapons, so that you will not die in vain because of bad armor or unfavorable blades! Everyone shouted in unison: "General Xie!" and then everyone quickly dispersed.

Zhang Fan smiled when he saw everyone's appearance. At this time, Liu San ran over, looked at Zhang Fan timidly, and didn't dare to speak, obviously being scared by Zhang Fan before. Zhang Fan said lightly: "What's the matter?" Liu San said: "General, those sergeants who were cut into ordinary soldiers by you are all leaders in the army, and now there is no one to lead the soldiers, I'm afraid it's not good?" Zhang Fan said lightly: "You don't have to worry about these things." Besides, those ten people were all high-ranking officers in the army, and the general would have reduced their positions, and the specific affairs were free for the officers at the next level to act as their agents. In the future, Ben will elect a capable person to serve as an officer temporarily. Liu San said: "The subordinates will give them an order." Zhang Fan said: "Slow!" Liu San stood still when he heard this, a little stunned. Zhang Fan said lightly: "The grandfather of the girl in my camp, where did the old man who used to feed the horses and help in the fire room go?" Liu San replied: "It turns out that this is the case, the old man Wang is too old to travel with the army, so he stays in the camp." Zhang Fan said lightly: "I know, let's go down and prepare." Immediately Liu San left, and Zhang Fan entered the big tent. (To be continued......)
