After leaving the team far away and making sure that no one else could eavesdrop, Zhang Xiucai slowly took the horse. "Where are your brothers? Where have they gone?" His first words made Zhou Daniu overjoyed.
The failure to get promoted as soon as possible and whether he could become General Li's personal soldier were all very 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.
"Back to the Captain, Sir Captain, they are still in the Prison Regiment. Yes, I took them to surrender to the army together. When they entered the Prison Regiment, we also went in together!"
Zhou Daniu couldn't restrain his inner excitement and stammered his answer. Yesterday, Captain Zhang's words completely freed him from the sea of misery. If Captain Zhang could be more generous and fish out his friends today,
Then it's worth just being a bully for the other person 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 when the war does not go well, they often
He would be the first to be thrown off the rear by the general. Thinking of the hardships he had endured over 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. Didn't I tell you that I won't pursue the matter on the road?" Zhang Xiu misunderstood the other party's meaning and thought that Zhou Daniu was afraid that he would hold him hostage.
Taking revenge privately, he explained with a smile. Originally, he was not a person who liked to hold grudges, and Xuzi was currently lacking a direct team. A person like Zhou Daniu, who had no foundation and was very utilitarian, 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 Mr. Zhang, help me find a way!" Zhou Daniu nodded while begging. Although he likes to brag, he has
Sometimes I like to daydream, but my 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 the brothers. Whether it succeeds or not, I have to give it a try. Anyway, the brothers have already fallen there.
This situation was such that even if Captain Zhang refused to agree to help, there would 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 understand the opponent's situation. Now is the time to hire people. In yesterday's battle, nearly half of General Lang's soldiers were killed. Although the loss was huge, it also gave him the opportunity to build his own guard team.
"We didn't mean to cause trouble. When we first came to Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp, General Li hadn't arrived yet. Several other generals and lieutenants in the camp were dissatisfied with each other. There was a brigade leader named Cao who promised to let me be the team commander..."
Zhou Daniu knelt on the ground and 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 always been generals.
They fought overtly and covertly for position. Everyone had backgrounds, and it was hard for anyone to come forward to do evil things in person, so they secretly recruited a group of direct descendants, and their brothers came to make troubles on behalf of the boss. After making troubles, the civil struggle evolved into a full-scale martial arts.
Every day, people fight in the military camp. Zhou Daniu and others once struck too hard and severely injured the other party. As a result, Cao Lvshui, who promised to "hold him up even if the sky falls!"
After being given a beating with a military stick along with several brothers, they were all sent to the prison camp.
"What happened next, where did the man named Cao go?" Zhang Xiu asked with wide eyes after listening to Zhou Daniu's words.
"After General Li came, he ran the army with a ruthless hand. Wang Duwei, who was on good terms with Cao Lvli, was transferred, and Cao Lvli also left the Xiongwu Camp with him!" Zhou Daniu gritted his teeth and said bitterly. "If it hadn't been for him.
Leave early. When I get out of the prison group, I will risk my life to deal with him!"
"You're so stupid, I'm afraid you'll be killed before you get out of the Prisoners' Group." Zhang Xiu shook his head and stepped forward to give Zhou Daniu a kick, "Get up, and take me to the Prisoners when you're on the road later.
Recognize your brothers. If the mistake you made is 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 be yours.
Sir, if you say east, I will never go 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 didn’t even plan to pursue the case. If you, the kid, 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 sorry for the general's cultivation, I will be struck by lightning. No matter how many sons I have, my poop will all come out of my mouth!"
"Damn it, stop swearing on your son. Who knows where your wife's calf is still suffering from cramps!" Seeing that the other party was really embarrassed, Zhang Xiu stepped forward and kicked her again, and cursed with a smile. "You're such a jerk.
Follow me for a few days and learn how to wink. General Lang is in need of smart people around him. If you learn well, I will give you a personal guard to do the job! If you don't live up to your expectations, I will send you to prison.
I'll squat for another ten or eight years to see if you can get enough of the horse manure!"
"Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, anyway, I won't let you down!" Zhou Daniu opened his mouth, revealing his yellow teeth. It seems that Master Zhang wants to accept me as his personal soldier, so that he can follow Li in the future.
The general is charging into the 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 filled with stars.
With an unbelievable feeling of happiness, Zhou Daniu accompanied Zhang Xiu back and forth in the team. The other party was Lord Lang's personal soldier, so naturally there were people to help him wherever he went. After a whole morning of careful selection, everyone except Zhou Daniu
In addition to the few brothers in distress, Zhang Xiu also selected 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 try his best to plan for his cousin. At present, except Xu Zi, no one can give him such great trust. And no one can let him go so quickly.
He was promoted. This relationship is like a vine and a tree. If the tree falls, the vine will wither no matter how high it climbs. Zhang Xiu knows where his current "roots" are, so he will not let go of anything to build a stronger foundation.
Chance.
Except for the hundred and ten men Li Xu brought from the food protection army, the rest of Li Xu's original soldiers were sent to him by several generals who vigorously supported the rising stars after he became the general of Xiongwu Xiaoguoying.
The purpose of the personal soldiers may be out of good intentions, but it cannot be ruled out that they deliberately placed eyes and ears around him. Therefore, Li Xu has never established a completely trustworthy personal soldiers team, and there are basically no secrets in the army. This
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 seemed very disturbing.
People are suspicious. Therefore, Xuzi did not even dare to discuss some private matters involving his personal future with Zhang Xiu and others in the Chinese military tent. Everyone often had to pretend to be nonchalant and walk outside the camp in order to communicate quietly.
If a general's task is only to lead troops in battle, 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 collect the body of the general and then gather together
Burial. So on the battlefield, no matter what mission these soldiers come with, they will not fail to fulfill their duties. But outside the battlefield, it is another matter. No one wants to have their every move monitored by others.
below, and the monitor himself has ulterior motives.
Yesterday, the spear that killed Eulji Munheung at the critical moment forced Asahi to put on the agenda the task of forming her own personal army. 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 receive this first-class battle merit.
The person who killed Eulji Wenheung must have been one of the soldiers. Xuzi can guarantee that his judgment will not be too biased. The Xiaoguos all come here to find their wives, and they will not humbly put such a big man
The credit for the credit was given to others. And the brave soldier who threw the key spear refused to admit it, which must be to cover up something.
What is he trying to cover up? Does 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 placed 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. The large and small wounds on his body made him very annoyed, and what made him even more annoyed was his current situation.
At the beginning of the day, he felt as if he had entered the depths of a thick fog. He was surrounded by friendly calls, but it seemed that every direction was full of traps.
'Maybe it's because I've already walked in!' Looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, Xuzi sighed softly. Summer is almost over, and those black clouds are here and there in the pure sky.
Wandering. The sun shines through behind the clouds, adding a golden edge to each dark cloud, making them black and looking full of temptation. (To be continued)
