Chapter 212 The fourth captain held a banquet at the wine shop
Recently, there are always military orders coming from the Kucha Town Protectorate, requiring the border cities of Anxi and Tuqishi, Shouchuo and Fengsuubao to strengthen defense and conduct strict training. Experienced veterans and officers all know that this is a fast
There was a war. Li Siye also knew about it, but he was some kind of indescribable prophet of the unknown.
On this day, he led his horse back to the streets of Diazhuang City, carrying an antelope fetched from a nearby hillside on its back, followed by Tian Zhen and Fujimu.
"Li Siye!"
A rough voice came from the street. The three of them turned around in surprise, only to see an officer with a beard on his face, followed by three or five Tang soldiers in khaki robes, walking towards them with evil looks.
Tian Zhen and Teng Mu were wary and took the initiative to stand in front of Li Siye, holding the handle of the knife at their waists.
Li Siye waved his hands towards the two of them and said, "There is no need to act like a formidable enemy. This person has no ill intentions."
The two of them stepped back to the side, and the bearded man had already come in front of him with his hands cupped, but his face was so raw that even when he smiled, it looked like he was oozing.
"Li Siye, Lieutenant Li! You have been in office for so long and have not gotten to know us colleagues. Do you want to work alone behind closed doors? I will blame you for not knowing the rules. You are a soldier and go to the battlefield.
, the most important thing is the robe around you, who can protect your back at critical moments. For us captains who lead troops, the most important thing is the brothers on the flanks, who can help you cut off your back at critical moments. If you are not popular, lead the troops
If you fall into enemy lines, no one will come to rescue you."
The three of them had never seen this person before, but he actually ran up to Li Siye and scolded him, making Tian Zhen and Teng Mu open their mouths and say nothing. Li Siye could easily judge that this was someone based on his not-so-rich social experience in his previous life.
A familiar one.
Li Siye also smiled and cupped his hands and said: "You must be Ren Chengsi, the captain of the Third Regiment. I'm really sorry. I just arrived at the Eighth Regiment and encountered a lot of difficult things. I really can't spare the time to visit you."
Colleagues, after three days, I will invite all the captains of the Thirty-Third Prefecture to get acquainted with you."
Although Ren Chengsi's outspoken statement of responsibilities was not unreasonable, Li Siye was not unruly. When he first took office, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Eighth Regiment was in danger, and that the top and bottom were disengaged. The soldiers who were short of pay for four months were
Like a dynamite pack that is about to be ignited, their past resentment towards the court and Gai Jiayun will most likely be vented on him, the new captain.
If he chooses to visit his colleagues at that time, will these arrogant regimental captains interact with him in a straight manner, will they show sympathy or contempt for him?
It's better now, all the problems have been solved, and Li Siye's reputation has become louder. He can control the Eighth Regiment to this point in just one month, and he can face the 33rd attack with pride.
You can even raise your chin high and tell them that everyone here is your younger brother.
The younger brother in front of him, Captain Ren, grabbed Li Siye's wrist and said with a smile: "Why bother three days later? It's better to bump into the sun. Today, I and Captain Yuan Tang of the 5th Regiment, Colonel Han Zhang of the 9th Regiment, and Captain Han Zhang of the 12th Regiment
Lieutenant Zhao Yuanwei has specially saved some fine wine for you at a wine shop in the city, and the wine shop has authentic Chang'an water basin mutton, come with me quickly!"
Li Siye couldn't break free, so he had no choice but to say to Tian Zhentengmu: "You guys come here too."
The Orchid Wine Shop in Dialgeon City has three floors. The walls on three sides are nearly two feet thick and more than three feet high. The rest of the floors and roofs are made of wood. The outbuildings have absorbed the style of Persian flat-roofed houses.
From a distance, it feels like Longmen Inn.
Today, thirty-three people from Chongfu have occupied the entire wine shop. Sitting downstairs are the personal guards and entourage of several captains. Tian Zhen and Fujimu also stayed downstairs on their own initiative. Li Siye was invited by Ren Chengsi
Arrived upstairs.
The third floor is open to the wind and is spacious. Three regiment captains are sitting cross-legged on a woolen carpet in the middle, surrounded by a large square plan, and the Kangju girls are dancing gracefully on the wooden platform against the back wall.
Ren Chengsi invited Li Siye to the three of them. They stood up from the ground and enthusiastically offered their hands to Li Siye. Among them, the one with slightly smaller eyebrows and a short mustache was named Zhao Yuanwei. This man smiled and said: "Li Siye
Even though they haven't seen him yet, they have heard his voice. They all know that a Li Yanluo has come to the city. He is strict in running the army. No matter how oily the old man is, he will not be able to survive seven days in your hands. We are waiting for today.
I’ve come to ask you for advice.”
He was so flattering when he first came up, Li Siye had to be careful, if the other person seemed to be praising someone but actually criticizing him, or if they were digging a hole for him to jump into.
He cupped his hands in front of everyone and said: "Everyone is laughing, I am just a strict person by nature. I am strict with myself, and I also demand the same from others. As for the methods of governing others, I have some methods. If you don't mind it, I will
I’ll just share it with you as a little trick.”
Ren Chengsi stretched out his hand to invite us: "Let's drink some wine first and eat some meat. When you get drunk, you'll feel comfortable talking about anything."
There was only one jar of unopened grape wine on the four plans. Dr. Jiu quickly came forward and placed the wine bowl. Ren Chengsi opened his throat and said loudly: "Doctor! Go and tell your shop to bring up the mutton in the basin that I want.
"
Later, Dr. Jiu put a silk scarf on his hands and brought up a pot full of mutton. The piled mutton slices were soaked in thick oil soup, and there was no strong mutton smell, thanks to the mutton produced in Tianzhu.
Pepper can drive away fishy smell, and in Anxi, it has not been pushed up by wealthy families to the point where ordinary people cannot afford it, as it was in Chang'an.
Ren Chengsi took the initiative to pick up the bowl and said on behalf of everyone: "We, the five groups, are living in the same city all day long, and we are all affiliated with the Thirty-three Zhechong Mansion. But the Zhechong Mansion doesn't care about us except for paying salaries.
, Zhao Chonghuan, the city envoy, also has a lazy temper. The five of us will discuss and deal with ordinary trivial matters. Therefore, you and I must get closer in the future. Whether we are on the battlefield or not, we must stick together and advance and retreat together."
The five people held the wine bowls in both hands, touched each other, and said in unison: "Advance and retreat together."
While Li Siye was drinking, he watched the people on the sidelines. It seemed that Ren Chengsi was leading the conversation among these people, but they were not the most economical people. There were some minor differences between them, but they seemed to be in harmony on the surface.
Captain Han Zhang put down his bowl of wine and asked him: "Li Siye, please tell us, what is this Four Incompetents? How can it make soldiers who are not afraid of being beaten by military sticks obey and frighten?"
Li Siye was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed that it was a solitary room, and he didn't know who gave it such a painful name.
"It's just a dark room where people are locked up. The best requirements are that there is no light, that you can't see your fingers, and that there is no sound. Apart from talking to yourself, you can't even hear a ghost. You give him food every day, and he eats, drinks, and relieves himself in it.
The size of the house is also important. The roof should not be too high. The standard should be that the person cannot stand up straight while bending down. The floor should not be too wide. The standard should be that the knees cannot be stretched when sitting down. Just lock him up like this for seven to ten days. As long as he is locked up once,
From now on, this **** would rather let you be beaten with a military stick until you vomit blood than be put into solitary confinement."
Everyone suddenly realized and complained secretly in their hearts. He could be considered a talent if he could use his brain to figure out such torturous things. Fortunately, he was in the army. If he were to be an official, he would most likely be Junchen or Zhou Lizhen.
Such a cool official.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a while, and Li Siye didn't understand what was going on.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, he looked out the window and said proactively: "Recently, the Governor's Office has issued official documents every three days, asking those of us who are stationed on the front line of the Tuqishi border to be strong and strong. I guess there will be a war. What do you think?"
Ren Chengsi stretched out his little fingernail to dig at the yellowed gap between his teeth, lowered his head and spat out the meat scraps on the ground, raised his head and said, "What do you think of this? I charged five regiments in thirty-three times, and they were all Tiaodang. What's the point?
Jumping and charging into battle is the same thing. When attacking a city, we are the first to climb the wall to meet the enemy. We are also the ones who suffer the most casualties in a battle. If we can be the first to climb up, it's okay. If we can't, our death will be in vain.
