Ma Su was waiting for Wang Ping's words. He slapped his thigh and said with great joy: "Okay! Great!"
"Since you are willing to divide your troops to defend the main road, how can five thousand soldiers and horses be enough? I will give you fifteen thousand soldiers and horses to camp at the foot of the Western Mountain. But when the Wei army comes to attack the Nanshan Mountain, there is no need to come to the rescue. Just stand firm!"
"If our army can hold off the Wei army at the street pavilion for a month, and then come in front of the prime minister, I will give you the first credit!"
"..." After hearing this, Wang Ping suddenly became confused.
His original intention was not to go up the mountain and risk his life. He thought that Ma Di would allocate at most 5,000 troops to him, or even only 1,000 troops.
But I didn’t expect that there were actually fifteen thousand people!
He actually managed to achieve his first success!
Who is the leader among us?
Isn’t it true that every general holds military power firmly and will not let go until the end of his life? Isn’t it true that every general tries his best to gain victory over himself, fearing that his subordinates will take away too much of the credit?
Why is General Ma so different?
Wang Ping suddenly felt a little confused.
However, he still raised his hands solemnly, glanced at Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu worriedly, and took the order to mobilize their troops.
As a general, how could he think he had too many soldiers under his command?
The more the merrier!
When the troops were dispatched, Wang Ping looked back at the frail figure standing proudly in front of the ruins of the street pavilion, and suddenly felt that General Ma seemed...probably...maybe not that good after all.
At least he had a little bit of knowledge about people, and he realized that Wang Ping was not just an ordinary person, but could be used in a big way, so he entrusted him with a lot of troops.
Well, such a general is very good!
However, do you want to remind him that Huang Xi, Li Sheng and Zhang Xiu compete for merit overtly and battle wits secretly all day long?
Forget it, it's better not to say anything. It's not good to chew on colleagues behind their backs.
I think General Ma should know the urine properties of these three people.
No big skills, just clever tricks.
…
Ma Su looked around, his eyes full of strong confidence, and said proudly: "Everyone will obey the order!"
Although he is said to be a general, he actually does not have many generals under his command. There are only four generals: Wang Ping, deputy general, Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu.
After Wang Ping divided his troops and left, only Huang, Li and Zhang were left.
But although there are few generals, they still need the aura they deserve.
Ma Di spoke in a very serious tone: "Huang Xi and Li Sheng, I order you two to lead five thousand troops and immediately dig the Tianchi on the top of Nanshan Mountain. This pool will be two feet deep and fifty feet long and wide. It will be completed within one day.
Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"
"Zhang Xiu, you lead 5,000 people to cut down trees and make 10,000 barrels. You have to complete it within one day, otherwise you will be subject to military law!"
"You wait for three people to work together, whoever completes the work first will be the winner!"
As soon as they mentioned the first skill, the three people's eyes lit up.
But soon, the eyes of two of them quickly dimmed.
"Yes!" Zhang Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this. He glanced at Huang Xi and Li Sheng proudly and ordered his troops to leave happily.
Compared with digging holes, the work of felling wood and making barrels is simply too easy. On average, each person makes two barrels. It can be done in half a day, not as long as a day.
I am indeed the general's confidant. This is the treatment that only our own people can receive. Hum... Zhang Xiu directed his soldiers to cut down trees while glancing at Huang Xi who was frowning in the distance. Li Sheng and Li Sheng were speechless.
of comfort.
Huang Xi and Li Sheng looked at each other. The former raised his hands with a look of embarrassment and said, "General, how can five thousand soldiers dig such a big hole in one day? I'm sorry for my incompetence, it's really hard for me to do the job."
The latter nodded quickly to confirm that what Huang Xi said was true.
A pit that is fifty feet long and two feet deep is an immeasurable amount of work. Even if five thousand people worked together, it would take three days at the fastest to complete.
This is basic common sense.
one day?
If you want to kill us, just say so! No need to go around so much.
Looking at the slightly resentful eyes of the two, Ma Di laughed, waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, just follow me to the top and have a look!"
Just take a look and take a look!
Is it possible to turn three days of work into one day just by looking at it?
Huang Xi and Li Sheng looked at each other again and hurriedly followed Ma Di, straight to the top of Nanshan Mountain.
hiss--
As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, before their footing was stable, the two of them took a breath of cold air.
On the top of the unremarkable mountain, there was a large recess in the middle, like a natural circular sinkhole. Visually, the depth of the recess was about two feet, and the diameter was about sixty feet long.
this……
There is no need to dig any more.
All you need to do is clean up the bottom, trim the corners, make a few steps to extend, and you're done...!
Huang Xi and Li Sheng looked at each other for the third time, and they both clasped their fists and bowed: "I don't know how compassionate the general is, and I am extremely ashamed."
With a smile on his face, Ma Su accepted the great gift from the two of them.
After the two thanked them, they ordered the five thousand soldiers who followed them to start work.
Seeing the three generals beaming with joy, the five thousand soldiers also felt the same way. They cheered and jumped down into the sinkhole, and started working in an orderly manner.
Unconsciously, the five thousand people digging holes on the mountain were secretly competing with the five thousand people cutting wood and making barrels down the mountain.
The morale rose instantly and gradually solidified.
Seeing this, Ma Su stopped at the top of the mountain, looked up to the sky and laughed, listening to the words that kept popping up in his head:
"Prestige +1"...
"Prestige +1"...
"Prestige +1"...
Indescribable joy in my heart.
More than an hour later.
Zhang Xiu looked at the five thousand barrels placed on the river beach with satisfaction, and wanted to laugh out loud for no reason.
It was too fast. The five thousand people under his command were making barrels too fast!
In another hour, ten thousand barrels will be finished.
When the time comes, he will be the first to guard the street pavilion...
When he thought of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but grin and giggle.
Anyone who is a general works hard to earn military merit.
Especially the first one!
With military merit, and Prime Minister Zhuge’s clear distinction between rewards and punishments, how can the rewards be less?
With the reward, it’s time for the yellow-faced woman in the family to move to a more delicate, young, and enchanting one...
Thinking of the beauty, Zhang Xiu unconsciously took a sip of saliva.
Then his eyes widened and he was stunned.
Huang Xi and Li Sheng appeared at the foot of the mountain at some unknown time, standing side by side, holding hands, smiling and pointing at the soldiers who were building the tunnel.
"This barrel is nice and round!"
"Well, that bucket is not bad, Founder!"
"Ah, brother Li, look at that poke, it's so rough, I really want to touch it!"
"Brother Huang, please be patient. This bucket will probably take a while to be completed. Why don't we go under the tree over there, have a drink of water, and rest for a while?"
"Yes, it's time to take a rest. Although I didn't do any work at the top of the mountain, the sun was blowing and the sun was blowing. I happened to be a little thirsty, so I went to take a rest!"
After saying that, Huang Xi and Li Sheng looked at each other and smiled, and the latter turned around and said, "General Zhang, are you going to sit down together?"
"???"
Zhang Xiu had a question mark on his head and felt that he was not well. He decisively waved his hand and rejected the invitation. He did not bother to supervise his soldiers to make barrels, took long strides, and rushed up to the top of the mountain.
Then he quickly lowered his head and walked down.
Looking at the soldiers who were busy making barrels, Zhang Xiu suddenly felt bored.
The first skill I had achieved flew away inexplicably.
How could this not make him feel aggrieved!
Just at this time, Huang Xi also sent an invitation, "General Zhang, come over for a meeting?"
You can just be human beings... Zhang Xiu turned his head angrily, ignored his two colleagues who deserved a beating, and shouted sternly at the soldiers:
"faster!"
"Make barrels faster."
"It's not like you haven't eaten yet, why are you so slow!"
"Faster!"
When the soldiers heard this, they were startled. They looked down at the densely packed new wooden barrels on the river beach, and then looked up at the red sun that was gradually setting in the west.
