The Yiyang soldiers were definitely considered an elite force in Jingxiang.
If we trace its origin, it can be traced back to the Yellow Turban Uprising. Facing the Yellow Turbans and the government troops who were like bandits, the Yiyang people spontaneously formed a group of volunteers and fought many bloody battles with the Yellow Turbans.
The name of bravery spread in Jingxiang.
It is said that Wei Yan's father died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
It was not all smooth sailing for Liu Biao to take over Jingxiang. Especially when he first arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Biao almost rode alone with no soldiers around him. At that time, banditry was rampant in Jingzhou, there were many nobles, and powerful people were separatist in various places, just like a plate of scattered sand.
Chaos.
Liu Biao's arrival will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of many powerful and noble people.
In addition, bandits were raging everywhere, forcing Liu Biao to form a team of his own as soon as possible. So after some private transactions, Liu Biao gained the support of the three major families of Jiangxia Huang, Xiangyang Cai Shi and Xiangyang Kuai.
, he recruited troops in Jingxiang in the name of Zhou Mu, the respected clan member of the Han Dynasty. It was under this circumstance that the Yiyang military soldiers were formed and became an elite army.
Initially, there was a group of military soldiers in Yiyang, totaling more than 560 people.
Wei Yan was only fifteen years old at the time and was just a pawn. Later, Yiyang warriors followed Liu Biao and fought in various places in Jingxiang. They successively suppressed the banditry in Nanyang, Nanjun, Changsha and other places, and suppressed the Nanyang Yang, Changsha Chen and other major Jingzhou noble clans.
, it can be said that the military exploits are outstanding. However, because the Yiyang warriors came from a group of mud-legged people, and Liu Biao's rule in Jingxiang relied more on the support of several major families, so that the Yiyang warriors fought in the north and south, and established countless military exploits, but they did not
Gained too many benefits. Only the generals who led the troops were promoted one by one. Wei Yan also gradually climbed up the ranks from a small soldier, and even reached the position of Tun general for a period of time.
"Then why did you become Dub again?"
Wang Mai asked curiously.
Deng Ji was a little drunk. He leaned on the simple couch and sighed softly.
"You have all seen Wen Chang's bad temper.
You think, how can a person like him please Shangguan? Therefore, the Yiyang warriors will not get any merit, and they must rush to the front before the battle... It seems that a year ago, the Yiyang warriors were
Qu Chang was Wen Chang's uncle. He was ordered to follow Liu Jingzhou's nephew Zhang Yun to suppress the Wuxi Barbarian Rebellion in Wuling Mountain. He did not want to encounter an ambush by Wuxi Barbarians. The Yiyang soldiers were almost wiped out. Wen Chang's uncle fought on the spot.
More than 300 people died, and only these 43 people remained. Wen Chang was punished for this and was demoted to the rank of Du Bo.
From then on, when the soldiers from Yiyang returned to garrison in Yiyang, no one paid any attention to them..."
Wang Maiqi asked: "How could this happen? Since it was an ambush, it should be the general's responsibility. What does it have to do with General Wei Tun?"
"If you lose, someone will always be the scapegoat.
What Zhang Yun reported at that time was that the Yiyang warriors attacked without permission and the entire army was ambushed. Fortunately, Wen Chang's uncle died in the battle, otherwise he would not have known what kind of crime he would have been punished for. The Yiyang warriors have been on various expeditions over the years.
, I finally have some connections. Those people stood up and begged for mercy, and Wen Chang was able to save his life. It’s just that it’s impossible to get promoted...and Zhang Yun doesn’t like them very much.”
Wang Mai had a gloomy look on his face, and it took him a long time to say: "My lord, what's the point of keeping him here?"
"Brother Hutou, be careful what you say!"
Cao Peng, who had been sleeping with his eyes half closed to recharge his batteries, was startled, quickly opened his eyes and shouted in a low voice.
What is this place?
Nine Girls City Camp... Even in the camp of Yiyang military soldiers, there is no guarantee that the walls have ears. What Wang Mai said just now is treason and is a capital crime of beheading.
Deng Ji also shivered with excitement, and his drunkenness suddenly disappeared.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, why are you talking to Wang Mai about this? This guy is outspoken, but he is a person who can't hide anything. In the future, if he finds someone to talk to, he has to look at the target clearly. Ah Fu is good, at least he knows what can be said.
Say, what cannot be said.
Cao Peng got up and walked out of the small tent. When he saw no one around, he came back.
"Brother-in-law, you did something wrong today."
"Um?"
Cao Peng said: "The right way is to be kind but not to control soldiers, and righteousness not to control wealth. Today you should not beg for mercy and let Ma Yu and others come in...Brother-in-law, we are in danger now, so we should be more careful. Ma Yu obviously
We have a grudge against you and I, but you just let him in. Aren't you asking for trouble? They can stand by and watch when we charge into battle. Then they should be prepared to be punished.
Since ancient times, how can there be any reason for Shangguan to rush into battle and stand still?
To put it bluntly, this means running away from the battlefield. According to the law, it is not an exaggeration to kill them, so why do you need to plead for mercy?"
"But……"
Deng Ji said softly: "We are all fellow villagers after all, I really can't bear it..."
"Brother-in-law, if you are in charge of a party in the future, and you always care about the friendship between Lao Shizi and fellow villagers, how can you clearly distinguish rewards and punishments, and enforce orders and prohibitions? Moreover, you know that some of these people have bad intentions, but you still want to tolerate them.
Think about them...
Brother-in-law, let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time, a farmer saw a poisonous snake that was freezing and about to die on the road. He felt pity and put the poisonous snake in his arms. When the snake woke up after being warmed, instead of being grateful to the farmer, it bit him hard.
.Your behavior today is just like that farmer. Ma Yu and those people are poisonous snakes. If you save them, they may not be grateful, and may even bite you to death at any time.
Brother-in-law, you have read more books than me, and you know the truth better than me... A woman must be very kind, otherwise she will harm others and herself."
Deng Ji looked embarrassed, lowered his head, and remained silent for a long time.
It’s not that he didn’t understand what Cao Peng said.
But over the years, he has become accustomed to...the friendship and affection between fellow villagers, there is always some concern. It is really difficult for Deng Ji to want to abandon it all of a sudden. But he knows that Cao Peng's words are absolutely
Correct, he seems to have made some mistakes today!
"What should we do?"
"While the situation is still good, find an excuse to kill Ma Yu."
"ah!"
"Brother-in-law, Ma Yu is a black sheep. Don't make the mistake again. You are disciplined after all. You can just start with military discipline."
Deng Ji hesitated, hesitated!
Cao Peng was very helpless. It seemed that he could not change his temper for a while.
Reading the books of sages and sages cultivates righteousness and strives to behave righteously and sit upright. This kind of deliberate behavior was difficult for Deng Ji to accept for a while.
If you don't take a few blows, it may be difficult to correct.
It seems that if you want to deal with Ma Yu, you have to find a way on your own...
There was silence in the small tent.
Deng Ji raised his head after a while and said softly: "Ah Fu, can you tell me what is going on? Why was I recruited?"
It is estimated that this issue has been in Deng Ji's mind for quite some time.
He was able to put off asking until now, so he could bear it. Cao Peng glanced at Wang Mai, and then said with a smile: "It's nothing more than romance."
"Romance?"
"Brother-in-law, do you still remember Zhang Shuo?"
"Zhang Shuo?"
"That girl from Niyang's Zhang family..."
Cao Peng told Deng Ji exactly what he had guessed.
Deng Ji laughed dumbly.
He thought it was something, but it turned out to be this. He didn't blame Cao Peng, because how could such a thing be explained clearly?
"Brother-in-law, what do you think Huang She can do?"
Deng Ji thought for a while and shook his head, "That's hard to say! If a child from a family like Huang She is jealous, Bao Buqi will do all kinds of things, regardless of the consequences. But you have done a good job, you
Come with me, at least you'll save your family trouble.
We are now in Huang She's hands, and he will definitely cause trouble again.
I guess it's just something that happened in the past few days. Anyway, you and I should be careful and don't let him catch the wrong thing. You must know that military law is ruthless..."
It was similar to what he had guessed. Huang She was probably going to take action, that is, starting with military law.
But in this case, if I want to deal with Ma Yu, I have to be careful and have a thorough plan before I can get rid of this person.
Its daybreak!
From the sky above the Nine Girls City camp, a mighty horn sounded.
At this time every day, there will be a drill. In fact, it is nothing. It is just walking in queue and practicing some martial arts. And each village is separated, not a joint performance. The specific content of the drill is mostly decided by each village general, and there is not much
of rules.
After all, the Nine Girls City Camp consists of rural warriors temporarily recruited from various places.
Each has its own system, and it is impossible to merge into one place at a time. The situation in Yiyang Village is even more special. Basically, it is a situation where grandma does not care and uncle does not love, and no one deliberately comes to inspect and supervise. It can be said that Yiyang Village
The camp only listens to the orders of Wei Yan.
Ma Yu walked out with a bruised nose and swollen face, and subconsciously tightened her tight brown clothes.
This is the prisoner's clothing. Since we only came here yesterday, these people have not been given any clothing and armor yet, so they have to wear prison uniforms and line up in the camp.
Wang bought, became a cavalry army, and became Wei Yan's personal entourage.
While Cao Peng continued to follow Deng Ji, Wei Yan also transferred four school swordsmen to protect Deng Ji's safety.
If he is promoted to the rank of general, then his original subordinates will also be promoted. Tang Ji, that strong man like a black iron tower, is Wei Yan's closest brother. He has good martial arts and is almost at the level of a third-rate general.
.So it’s logical to become Dub.
A tun with two teams means there must be two dubos.
Wei Yan proposed that a younger brother of his family should take up the post of another dubo, but Deng Ji had no objection to this.
Wei Ping is eighteen years old this year. He has been in the army for three years and is also a survivor of the Battle of Wuling Mountain. He is not tall, about 175cm tall, fair and stocky. If he changes his clothes, he looks more like a
Scholar. However, Tang Ji told Cao Peng that Wei Ping was a famous desperate man in Yiyang Village. This guy's martial arts skills were not good, but when he went to the battlefield, he would become particularly fierce.
Every time he fights, he will definitely be injured, but it is a miracle that he survives every time.
Of course Deng Ji would not express any objection, and his attitude made Wei Yan very satisfied.
"Today, everyone forms a team and practices individually.
Those who do not have armor and weapons will temporarily queue up. After Deng Jie comes back from receiving the armor and weapons, they will be distributed and formed into formations!"
"Here!"
Ma Yu shivered and stood with the Jiyang prisoner.
Last night, he was beaten up by these Jiyang prisoners, and he was beaten very miserably. In the eyes of the Jiyang people, if it weren't for Ma Yu and the others, he wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation yesterday. Everything must be blamed on Ma Yu
, if everyone lives together, how can there be any other benefits?
"What happened to the injury on your face?"
Wei Ping walked over with a cold expression, looked at Ma Yu and asked.
Those eyes showed no emotion at all, which made people feel a little chilly in their hearts.
Ma Yu shivered and said softly: "Little man, I accidentally fell down last night."
"Injured by a fall?"
Wei Ping said calmly: "Is there anything serious?"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Under the vicious gazes of all the Jiyang prisoners, Ma Yu answered in fear.
"It's fine. It's okay. Be careful in the future. We will have a mission in two days. I don't want to increase the number of injured people for no reason. Okay, let's return to the team and continue training."
After Wei Ping finished speaking, he patted Ma Yu on the shoulder, turned around and left.
Ma Yu's heart trembled slightly. Looking at Wei Ping's back, she couldn't help but have a strange feeling...
