Chapter 369: Military Records - Unknown Rewards and Punishments
Passing by the Pantan Chunhua Courtyard, they heard that the Song Dynasty's attack on gold had something to do with the eight beauties in the courtyard. The three of them didn't know what was going on. They took a few mouthfuls of bah bah bah and sneered at each other: "It's sad for a hero to be a beauty."
Guan, I don’t think there are eight beauties in Chunhuayuan that can turn all sentient beings upside down. If we make a fortune, we will go and see it."
The Taizhou government office summoned a thousand recruits this time according to the imperial court's order. When they arrived at the military camp, Zhang Tufu and three other people opened their eyes and thought to themselves, what kind of recruits are these? Three hundred are too old, three hundred are too old.
Young Master, there are still three hundred people wearing new clothes and looking like beggars. At a glance, you can tell that they were hired by the rich. The one who came out to lecture the new recruits was the prefect. His writing was wrinkled and he couldn't understand what was said. The leader
Although Rutiha, a soldier, lectured in a loud voice, his eyes turned to the prefect from time to time, and he shrank back, as if he was afraid that the prefect would be angry. Zhang Butcher was born as a hunter and loved listening and reading. One of the most common words in the novel is "kindness does not control soldiers." See
The way Rutiha looked, he remembered another sentence in the story, which is to call a soldier Xiong Xiong and a general Xiong Xiong. He secretly said to the other two hunters: "This time we have less reputation and good luck. We are following General Xiong."
.”
After a month of training, without even mastering the basic formations, weapons and flags, a thousand people were divided into five teams and hurriedly sent to different front lines. Fortunately, Zhang Tufu and three other people were not separated, but
They were organized into a team and sent to the westernmost Dashan Pass under General Wu Shen.
"Ballad of New Soldiers"
Recruit new soldiers and go to the front line,
If the army is not brave, the general will have no power.
It’s fifty years in the third hundred years of my life,
Three Hundred Years Old.
Not enough blood to carry a gun,
How can you block the barrier and defeat the enemy?
Even more annoying are the three hundred beggars,
Wear armor to buy your life.
In order to find out the enemy's situation, General Wu Shen planned to select dozens of well-trained soldiers to detect the situation. What identity should be used to conduct detectives so as not to arouse the enemy's suspicion? General Wu Shen discussed with the deputy general. "Farmers, woodcutters, refugees.
?”
The lieutenant general expressed his opinion: "Farmers don't know the local dialect and can easily arouse suspicion. The mountains are full of firewood. It's also untrustworthy for woodcutter to go far away to explore the road. It's unreasonable for refugees to go to the mountains instead of entering the town. You might as well pretend to be a hunter to explore."
On the road, some illegal salt sellers entered the village to inquire about the military situation."
"What we have seen is that illicit salt sellers seek huge profits and go into isolated villages in the mountains. It is human nature. When asked about the soldiers' sentries and garrison, the villagers also think that they can avoid being pursued by the officers and soldiers, and they can also bribe the villagers with illicit salt. This trip will definitely be rewarding.
General Wu Shen clapped his hands and said yes after hearing this. The three people who were hunters were naturally among the chosen ones.
After walking around in the mountains for two days, there was no harvest. On the third day, Zhang Butcher and three other people saw rows of footprints on the ground, which were left by the army when they passed by. They followed them hurriedly and carefully. Half a day later, they discovered that
A grain storage place built in a valley. The three of them took advantage of the darkness and walked around for a week. There were not many guards, only about a hundred people, and the guards were loose. The three of them were old buddies when they were hunting in the past, and they cooperated very well.
, after looking at each other for a few moments, Butcher Zhang said: "I once heard that the book said that in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao burned Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and Yuan Shao was defeated. Now, the enemy's grain warehouse is right in front of us. With our
With his skills, it won’t be difficult to escape, how about setting it on fire?”
Having said that, when it was time for dinner, Jin Huabin stopped and went to the kitchen to check on the chef's preparation. Today's main dish is "Bitaochun·Nine-turn Large Intestine"
Cut the large intestine into circles with a knife, and make the jade rings into nine turns. Boil it thoroughly, drain the water and simmer over low heat until the texture is tender and soft.
Onion, pepper oil, cinnamon noodles, and sprinkled with coriander powder. It has all four flavors of sour, sweet, salty, and the color is like jade and blood.
Although the large intestine has a bit of fishy smell, it is very delicious because it is cooked thoroughly. Especially the color, which is bright red, makes people very appetizing at first sight. It was robbed just after being served. Jin Huabin pointed to it.
Pan said: "This large intestine is also related to the story being told."
Everyone hurriedly asked the reason, and he continued the story. Although when he told it, Wu Shenjiang said that this time the main purpose was to detect information and not to be easily exposed.
Thinking it was feasible, they took action immediately. After a while, fire broke out on all sides of the granary. While the soldiers were fighting the fire, the three men secretly took action, killing three soldiers and an officer, and then took a military flag and escaped without anyone noticing.
come out.
Wu Shenjiang saw the fire in the mountains rising into the sky in the middle of the night, and hurriedly ordered the sentry to go and investigate. Just one mile out of the customs, he met Zhang Butcher and three other people, who returned to the customs together to report their victory.
Burning the enemy's granary without hurting anyone and bringing back the enemy's flag was a great achievement. General Wu Shen sent an order to commend him, and at the same time he sent an order to kill a pig and hold a celebration banquet. After winning the first battle, the soldiers cheered. Just when they were about to award the merit,
The supervising civilian officer, the Superintendent of Dashanguan Pass, arrived from the rear and stopped him: "This is absolutely impossible. When we sent out troops, the superior officer had already laid out the strategy. This military order was to find out the news. They disobeyed the military order and started the war lightly, even though they burned the enemy.
Granary, it can only be said that the merits outweigh the faults."
The merits and demerits were balanced. These four words were like a basin of cold water poured down, which made their hearts feel cold. After burning the military rations, at least there would be no danger of Jin soldiers in the pass for at least half a year. Butcher Zhang was even more unconvinced and said: "If
At that time, we first went back to the customs to ask for instructions before taking action. It took a day to go back and forth. In the daytime, they found our footprints. We were prepared. How could we have a chance to launch a surprise attack? Storytellers said that the generals were outside, and military orders were not obeyed. We had a fighter jet.
Adapt yourself to the situation, why is this warlord so ignorant?"
General Wu Shen hurriedly covered his mouth and gestured: "Don't worry, I'm not a general yet, and you are just soldiers. You cannot reverse the Shangguan's wishes. After he leaves, we will hold a celebration banquet on our own."
He was a front-line leader, and he knew the importance of morale. Only by clear rewards and punishments could morale be boosted. However, the court atmosphere in the Song Dynasty emphasized culture over military affairs, and there was nothing he could do.
"The Good and the Bad"
Three hunters, looking for news,
Courageous and skillful.
Go deep behind enemy lines to find out news,
Enemy hayyard discovered.
When the moon is dark and the wind is high, there is a fire,
The fire made the enemy feel terrified.
On the merits of rewards and punishments,
Why not make people feel chilled?
The warlord discovered the slaughtered pigs and ordered them to be carried on carriages and taken away. Only some pigs were left in the barracks to go into the water. Wu Shenjiang was so angry that he banged his fist on the table. Butcher Zhang looked at it and said, "It doesn't matter, let's take it."
They will make a table of delicious food, leave this task to me."
He was a butcher by trade. Before entering the military camp, his family used to roast pigs every day for his daughter-in-law's health, so he knew how to cook them.
Two hours later, ten tables of steaming hot dishes came out, all made from pig offal. This nine-turn fat sausage was one of them. It was red in color and made you very appetizing when you saw it.
I never thought you had such a skill? There was laughter in the military camp, and the soldiers gradually turned their admiring eyes to him.
