Chapter 3: Ups and downs (a moment) Far away from the team, after making sure that no one else could eavesdrop, Zhang Xiucai slowly took the horse. "Where are your brothers? Where have they gone?" His first sentence
The words made Zhou Daniu overjoyed. Whether he could be promoted as soon as possible and whether he could become General Li's personal soldier were all important to Zhou Daniu, but their importance was simply insignificant compared with rescuing several of his comrades from the prisoner group as soon as possible.
"Come back to the Captain, Sir Captain, they were still in the Prison Regiment. I took them to surrender together. Those who surrendered to the army entered the Prison Regiment, and we also went in together!" Zhou Daniu suppressed.
Unable to hold back the excitement in his heart, he stammered an answer to Colonel Zhang's words yesterday, which completely freed him from the sea of misery. If Colonel Zhang could open his eyes and fish out his friends today, then he would be the one to die.
It’s worth it for the other party to work as a cow and horse for a few years.
The convict regiment is not a place for human beings. The dirtiest and most tiring work in the army is done by the convicts who have made mistakes. They go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and will not get any credit. But if the war does not go well, they will often be punished.
The captain was the first to be thrown off. After thinking about the suffering he had endured in the past two months, Zhou Daniu's eyes immediately turned red. He rolled off the horse to the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed to Zhang Xiu frequently.
"Get up, get up, why are you kowtowing? I'm just asking you a few words about what happened on the road. Didn't I tell you that I won't pursue it?" Zhang Xiu misunderstood the other party's meaning and thought that Zhou Daniu was afraid that he would take advantage of him.
To retaliate, he smiled and explained that he was not a person who liked to hold grudges in the first place. Moreover, Xuzi was currently lacking a direct team. A person like Zhou Daniu, who had no foundation and was obsessed with fame, was actually a good candidate to be cultivated as a confidant.
"Thank you, General Li and Mr. Zhang for showing mercy, but I, my brothers are still in the prison group. Please, please help Mr. Zhang to find a way!" Zhou Daniu nodded while begging. Although he likes to brag, sometimes
He also likes to daydream, but his mind is as sharp as anyone else. Now that I have the opportunity to curry favor with a "higher level", I will definitely work hard for my brothers. Whether I succeed or not, I have to give it a try. Anyway, my brothers have already fallen into that situation.
, even if Captain Zhang refuses to agree to help, there will be no loss for them.
"Get up, get up, I have to understand the situation first!" Zhang Xiu did not immediately agree to Zhou Daniu's begging, but asked him the specific reason why he entered the prison camp. This was not because he had no power to help, but because he needed to fully
Now is the time to understand the opponent's situation and recruit people. In yesterday's battle, nearly half of General Lang's personal soldiers were killed. Although the loss was huge, it also gave him the opportunity to build his own personal guard team.
"We didn't mean to cause trouble. When we first came to the Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp, General Li had not yet visited several other generals in the camp. The governors and lieutenants were dissatisfied with each other. A brigade commander named Cao agreed to let me be the team leader..." Zhou Daniu
Kneeling on the ground, he talked intermittently about his experiences after entering Xiaoguo Camp. It turned out that before Li Xu was appointed by the emperor as Xiongwu Lang General, several core figures in Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp had been fighting for the position of general.
Everyone in the overt and covert fights had backgrounds, and it was hard for anyone to step in and do the dirty work in person, so they secretly recruited a group of direct descendants, and let their brothers take the place of the boss to make trouble. The civil fight evolved into a full-scale martial arts fight, and people were there every day.
There was a big fight in the military camp. Zhou Daniu and others once struck too hard and severely injured the opponent. As a result, Cao Lvshui, who promised to "hold him up even if the sky falls!"
After being beaten with military sticks, they were all sent to the prison group.
"What happened next, where did the man named Cao go?" Zhang Xiu stared and asked after hearing Zhou Daniu's words.
"After General Li came, Lieutenant Wang, the good friend of Lishou Zhijun and Cao Lvli, was transferred, and Cao Lvli also left Xiongwu Camp with him!" Zhou Daniu gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "If he hadn't left,
Morning, when I get out of the prison group, I will deal with him even if I risk my life!"
"You're so stupid, I'm afraid you'll be killed before you even get out of the Prisoners' Corps." Zhang Xiu shook his head and stepped forward to give Zhou Daniu a kick. "Get up and take me to the Prisoners' Corps to see you later when you're on the road.
If the mistakes made by your brothers are not serious, I will say hello to Qin Canjun!"
"Alas, alas, thank you, Sir, thank you, Sir Zhang!" Zhou Daniu took advantage of the situation and rolled back, continued to kowtow to Zhang Xiu, and then got up happily. "From now on, Zhou's life will belong to you, sir."
Talking about the east, I will never go to the west, come in the wind, go in the rain, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, just frown and call me a coward!"
"Don't be too busy swearing. The first reason why I saved you is that you are quite big and you don't look like an unloyal person. The second reason is that I need you to work hard to serve the general in the future. You are guilty of intercepting and killing the imperial official on the way.
He doesn't even plan to hold you accountable if you violate your conscience in the future..." Zhang Xiu looked Zhou Daniu up and down and said coldly.
"Don't worry, sir. If Mr. Zhou is not sorry for the general's cultivation, I will be struck by lightning. No matter how many sons I have, I will not have sex. All the poop will go out of his mouth!"
"Damn it, don't swear on your son. Who knows where your wife's calf is going to be?" Zhang Xiu saw that the other party was really embarrassed, so he stepped forward and kicked her again, and scolded with a smile, "What are you doing?"
God, follow me first and learn how to wink. Mr. Langjiang is in need of smart manpower around you. If you learn well, I will give you a personal guard to do it! If you don't live up to your expectations, I will send you to the prisoner group again.
Squatting for ten or eight years to see if you can get enough of the smell of horse manure!"
"Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, anyway, I won't let you down!" Zhou Daniu opened his mouth, showing his yellow teeth. It seems that Master Zhang wants to accept me as his personal soldier, so that he can follow General Li in the future.
Charge into battle. If an enemy rushes from the left, I will stab him like this or twist him like this...' He began to daydream again, his eyes full of stars.
With an incredible feeling of happiness, Zhou Daniu accompanied Zhang Xiu back and forth in the team. The opponent was Lord Lang's personal soldier. Naturally, there were people helping him wherever he went. After a whole morning of careful selection, except for a few of Zhou Daniu's
In addition to these brothers and sisters, Zhang Xiu also picked out more than a hundred other Xiaoguo from the bottom who were strong and had no background, and added them to Li Xu's personal army.
Because his whole life's future is staked on his cousin Li Xu, Zhang Xiu has to use all his strength to plan for his cousin. At present, except Xu Zi, no one can give him such great trust and no one can promote him so quickly.
This relationship is like a vine and a tree. If the tree falls, the vine will die no matter how high it climbs. Zhang Xiu knows where his current "roots" are, so he will not miss any opportunity to build a stronger foundation.
Li Xu's original personal soldiers, except for the hundred and ten people he brought from the food protection army, the rest were sent to him by several generals who vigorously supported the rising stars after he became the general of Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp.
The purpose of the soldiers may be well-intentioned, but it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately planted eyes and ears around him. Therefore, Li Xu has never established a completely trustworthy team of soldiers. There are basically no secrets in the army.
This became even more obvious after he placed most of the brothers from the food protection army at the bottom to serve as officers. Whenever he convened the main officers and staff for discussions, the behavior of some of the soldiers looked very suspicious.
, some private matters involving personal future, Xuzi did not even dare to discuss with Zhang Xiu and others in the Chinese military tent. Everyone often had to pretend to be nonchalant and walk outside the camp to communicate quietly.
If a general's task is only to lead troops to fight, Xuzi can look at it with an indifferent attitude. After all, the task of the soldiers is to protect the general. If the general dies in battle, the soldiers often have to snatch the body of the general and then bury them collectively.
So on the battlefield, no matter what mission these soldiers come with, they will not fail to perform their duties. But outside the battlefield, it is another matter. No one wants their every move to be under the surveillance of others, and
The monitor himself has ulterior motives
Yesterday, the spear that killed Eulji Munheung at the critical moment forced Asahi to put the task of forming her own personal army on the agenda. At least twenty steps away, a spear penetrated the enemy general.
Even Li Xu himself could not guarantee such accuracy and arm strength. However, no one around him, including Soldier No. 100 and Xiaoguo, noticed who had thrown the spear, and no one was willing to claim this first-class military merit.
The person who killed Eulji Wenheung must have been one of the soldiers, Xuzi. He can guarantee that his judgment will not be too biased. The Xiaoguos all came here to make their wives and wives, and they would not humbly give such a big credit.
If the brave soldier who threw the key spear to someone else refused to admit it, it must be to cover up something.
What on earth is he trying to cover up? Will receiving the credit for killing the enemy general expose his identity? But after his identity is exposed, what harm will it do to this man and the people who secretly installed him in the Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp?
According to the military regulations of the Sui Dynasty, killing the enemy general in formation is a great achievement. If someone under his family has achieved such military exploits, the head of the family should be happy to recommend him as an official. Why bother to hide it and let him have extraordinary achievements but not get it?
Rewarded?
Lying on a stretcher made of spear poles and grass cloth, Li Xu was puzzled by the large and small wounds on his body, which made him very annoyed. What made him even more annoyed was his current situation since the first day he left Tang Gong's command.
At first, he felt like he had entered the depths of a thick fog, surrounded by friendly calls, but it seemed as if every direction was full of traps.
'Maybe it's because I'm already close!' Looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, Xuzi sighed softly. Summer is almost over. Those black clouds are wandering in the pure sky in the east and west.
The sun shines through behind the clouds, adding a golden edge to each dark cloud, making them black and full of temptation.
