Chapter 376
Xie Yuan's face was cold, and he snorted coldly and asked:

"I asked why you marched so late, and you were embarrassed by one son-in-law at a time? Captain Zhang, if you follow your selfless military regulations, answering such irrelevant questions at this time and contradicting your boss, what should you do?"

Zhang Gu's eyes flickered, he bit his cheek and didn't say a word.

Xiao Erdan, who had already hung the armor on the shelf, turned around and said sarcastically:
"I've heard! Captain Zhang likes to be slapped in the face, is it true?"

Hearing this, Zhang Gu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Erdan in disbelief. From the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Yuan's cold eyes, and then lowered his head again.

He was unconvinced and unwilling, but who made him a son-in-law, a general of Zhonglang, and a higher status than himself.

Xie Yuan turned his body sideways, put his hand on the saber at his waist, and paced in front of the three of them.

As she paced, she said:
"Don't worry, there's never been a rule under my rule that people slap themselves in the face. It's just that if you are under my rule, whether you can continue to be captains or not, I will make a decision after the teacher's examination."

As soon as she said this, the three of them looked at her in shock.

Xie Yuan went on to say: "Go back and prepare. Tomorrow is the big competition. The lieutenant will practice on the field. If you fail, you will be demoted to the captain of the guard. If you fail the martial arts competition, you will be demoted to the captain of the corps. "

Xie Yuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every time he uttered a word, he felt flustered and chilled as if a nail had been nailed to the hearts of the three captains.

The other two people were not favored to be called over. They were just panicked, but they didn't dare to refute.

But Zhang Gu has always relied on his brother-in-law to be domineering, and said:

"I was promoted based on my military merits! Why do you say you took it away!"

Xie Yuan was expressionless, looked at him very calmly, and asked:
"Lieutenant Zhang, why are you panicking? If you can pass the test, you will still be the captain. Could it be that you think you are not good enough, but you have nothing to show for it?"

"You!!" Zhang Gu looked to the side in a panic when he heard this, and saw that the other two pretended not to hear, lowered their heads slightly, and neither objected nor made a sound.

He anxiously said to the other two:
"You guys are talking! How many battles have we fought to become the captain, why does he win it with just a word?!! It's not a matter of his mouth whether he is qualified or not! He said that because he wanted to Are you going to replace us with your cronies?!!"

Those two people quietly raised their eyes to look at Xie Yuan, but they still didn't dare to object.

Xie Yuan raised the corners of his lips and sneered, and said:

"Lieutenant Zhang, don't worry, since it's a big competition, the big guys will naturally be there. We have a special place for this purpose. The stand on the hill looks very clear. It will be clear at a glance whether you are qualified or not. Absolutely not There is a matter of who I wronged."

Xie Yuan glanced at them again with cold eyes, and said, "Go back and prepare. Listen to the assembly number and leave the camp tomorrow."

"Yes." The other two responded in a low voice, looked at each other, and left the tent.

Zhang Gu stayed at the end, lowered his head and didn't say go, gritted his teeth and competed.

Xie Yuan turned around and asked coldly, "Is there anything else?"

As if Zhang Gu had made up his mind suddenly, he lifted his clothes and knelt down on one knee on the ground, clasped his fists and said:

"General, I was wrong before. I said a lot of things that I shouldn't have said without saying anything. It was because I had never seen you before and listened to others' gossip a lot, so I had a misunderstanding.

Seeing him today, General Xie is completely different from the rumors, he is both civil and military, which is really admirable.Zhang knew he was wrong, and please, General Xie, don’t remember the villain’s mistakes, and don’t be as knowledgeable as your subordinates..."

He paused, and saw Xie Yuan standing there with a pair of soap boots motionless in front of his eyes, and there was no response from above his head.

So he gritted his teeth, put the other leg down, put his hands on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed and said:

"General Xie, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, General."

He leaned over and put his forehead on the ground, not daring to get up for a long time.

At this time, only Xie Yuan's voice was uploaded from the top of his head coldly:

"I told you, it's not against you. It's military affairs!"

After she finished speaking, her voice became much lower, with obvious boredom and anger: "...Go back and prepare, I don't like procrastinators, get out!"

Zhang Gu's entire face turned red, because of the shame of self-humiliation, but also because of resentment.

Unwillingly, he got up from the ground, turned around and went out in embarrassment.

……

The next day, Xie Yuan led his troops on horseback, and more than 10,000 people marched into the hilly land ten miles away to practice sparring.

Xie Yuan brought his own soldiers, and the lieutenants of the four battalions including Li Huanshi. Their soldiers, messengers, and others all stood on the hillside, looking at the formation of soldiers at the foot of the mountain. .

The banners were waving on the slope, Xie Yuan was riding on the horse in full armor, looking at the phalanx of the four battalions below, he said:
"It's almost done. The trumpets are beating the drummers, and the soldiers are ordering the flags. Except for weapons, you can't kill people. It's no different from when you confront the enemy on the battlefield. Let's start. Draw lots."

After Xie Yuan returned to the camp, he did not idle for three days while waiting for the personnel to make up the system.

She promoted the "God of Wealth" Zhou Fang from the commander of the first battalion to the promotion of sergeant, no one has any objection to this.

It's just that the candidates for the captain of the battalion that Xie Yuan led originally had a lot of competition with the guards below.

Of course, Ke Sande, the chief of the first guard, and Li Huanshi, the chief of the fourth guard, competed fiercely.

In the end, it was Xie Yuan who made the final decision, saying that Ke Sande was more than brave but not cunning enough, so he appointed Li Huanshi as the school lieutenant.

Ke Sande finally admitted it, and was convinced.

At this moment, Sergeant Cao Zhou Fang was holding the slips of paper for drawing lots, and walked up to the four school lieutenants one by one, asking them to draw lots.

Li Huanshi was the first and Zhang Gu was last.

Zhou Fang shook the four notes in the bowl, turned around and glanced at Xie Yuan behind him.

Seeing that Xie Yuan was only looking at the queue at the bottom of the hill and not at them, he was relieved.

He stretched out the rice bowl in front of Li Huanshi.

While Li Huanshi looked at him expressionlessly, he stretched out his hand and slowly put it in the rice bowl.Then his eyes slanted to the side, meaning something.

Zhou Fang understood, and changed his foot on purpose, closed his eyes and gave Li Huanshi a reassuring wink, and urged impatiently:

"Hurry up! Hurry up and hit me when you're done smoking, the bastard has been holding back for almost half a year!"

Zhou Fang's impatient tone was true.

They had long wanted to give that Zhang Gu a good lesson and vented his anger!Let him slander them all the time, slander them and general Xie? !

In any case, let Li Huanshi and Zhang Gu be drawn into a group.

When the time comes, he will be beaten to death, everyone will have a share, and everyone will be relieved!
While moving the bowl, Zhou Fang thought: It was General Xie, who was so wise and mighty, came up with such a method.Let that Zhang Gu be more domineering and mean-spirited!
