Song Dynasty

Chapter 134
As the newly promoted commander and in charge of the first army, Wu Constitution can be said to have been promoted.In fact, everyone understands that the reason why Wang Shen entrusted him with a heavy responsibility is to set up a benchmark to tell all the soldiers in the army.As long as you fight the enemy bravely and make great achievements, no matter what your previous background is, you can be reused. The so-called talent is used.

However, in any case, Wu Xianxian and Wu Tuo joined the Sizhou Army after all, and they were much worse than other commanders in terms of seniority, rank, merit, and affection with Wang Junshi.

On weekdays, both Wu and Wu have a correct and courteous attitude in front of the seniors in the army.However, today's matter involves destroying the vital interests of the enemy army. If there is no dispute, how should the lieutenant soldiers view them?
Wu Xianxian was born a rascal, so he couldn't control that much when he was in a hurry, so he immediately started cursing his mother.

"You captured him. Now he is mine in my hands. Who are you pretending to be my father?" Gu Lie was Wang Shen's old team during the bloody battle in Pingyuan Town, and he never released Wu Xianxian, a newcomer. In his eyes, he snorted coldly with disdain: "Listen, Wu, I really want this archer today. Also, these..."

He pointed at the seized military supplies piled up on the side: "I'll destroy the enemy army. You have to give it, and you have to give it if you don't. What's the matter?"

Such a domineering behavior made Wu Xian's face flicker, and he held back his anger: "General Gu, this is a place where the generals in the army have rules, and everything can't escape the word of reason. If you fight for the capture, you must wait under the command of the military envoy." Tell the truth in front of you.”

"Military envoy, heck, don't use the military envoy to scare people. What kind of role do you really think you are Wu?" Gu Lie sneered: "When I didn't know, during the battle of Majiadu, you bird man was afraid of fighting. Not before, I was almost hacked by Chen Da with military law. It was also your luck, you accidentally hit Yelu Ma Wu with a flying stone, and you got the power of greed. Together, bah, I feel ashamed."

After finishing speaking, he spit and ordered the guards under his hand: "Use a seal to give me the number of these materials."

Hearing these slanderous words, Wu Xianxian's body swayed, his face turned pale, and he only wished that there was a gap in the ground to get in.

At this time, suddenly, Wu Tuo came forward with a loud roar, pushed away several enemy soldiers who were coming up with seals to rob supplies, and shouted: "What are you doing, go away! Commander Gu, I respect you!" You are a warrior, and I respect your bravery on the battlefield. However, you can’t bully people like this.”

"Who should I bully? I should bully a coward." Gu Lie gave Wu Xianxian a contemptuous look, and said, "Wutuo, I know you are a man. The commander of the Shengjie Army should have been yours." , but now it was stolen by this despicable boy, I am making decisions for you, don't you know what is good or bad."

"Gu Lie, you can scold me, but you can also beat me. But you can bully me, Brother Wu, and call him a coward, but I don't agree. The battle of Majiadu was the first time we went to the battlefield. The fear in my heart is inevitable for everyone. You Gu Lie The commander dared to say that he was not cowardly when he first joined the army and fought with others? It takes a few fights to tell whether a person is a good man or a soft man, and Brother Ang is a good man." Wu Tuo suddenly stretched out his hand , With a snap, he tore off the single shirt that Wu Xianxian was wearing.

It was seen that Wu Xianxian was wrapped in gauze all over his body, and red blood stains kept oozing out.

Wu Tuo pointed to Gu Lie and said: "General Gu, these injuries are all caused by Brother Ang on the battlefield just now. When our army launched a general attack, Commander Wu rushed to the forefront. He was wounded dozens of times. You committed suicide. Don't stop. You said, is he a coward? If he is a coward, what are we?"

For a long time, Ma Jiadu was afraid of the enemy in the bloody battle, and he peed his pants on the Shura field, which was a thorn in Wu Xianxian's heart.On weekdays, he always felt that the soldiers looked at him with disdain.At night, every time I think about this, I feel so painful that I can't sleep, I just want to go to the battlefield immediately and wash away the humiliation on my body with blood.

Finally got this opportunity today, Wu Xianxian disregarded life and death, and stood at the forefront of the team from beginning to end, setting an example for the victorious army.

Now I can finally prove myself in front of everyone and show the scars on my body for everyone to see.

Only blood can wash away the humiliation in one's heart, and only scars are the most honorable medals for a man.

The grievances that had accumulated in his heart for the past few months finally erupted at this moment, and the rascal in the past finally couldn't help crying: "Brother Wu, don't say it, don't say it, I don't need to be a coward or a warrior." Others say, but I know it in my heart.”

"Commander Wu is a hero, I am convinced."

"Yes, it's my luck to have such an officer!"

"The bastard who smashed the enemy army, bullied and came to the door, looking for a fight!"

All of a sudden, Sheng Jiejun was excited and rolled up his sleeves at the same time.

Gu Lie was furious: "Why, do you want to do something, who is afraid of whom?"

Wu Tuo repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Everyone, don't mess around, don't mess around!"

At this moment, a voice rang out: "What are you doing, do you want to rebel?"

I saw Lu Can, the deputy envoy of the Sizhou Army and the commander of the Xuanfeng Army, walking over with his hands behind his back, expressionless.

Lu Can was quite prestigious in the army. Seeing him, everyone who was excited just now quieted down at the same time.

Gu Lie smiled apologetically and cupped his hands: "Deputy Army Envoy Lu."

Lu Can: "General Gu, the military affairs are so busy, you're not here to defeat the enemy, what are you doing here, you want to bully people, and you forgot the military rules of the Wang Junshi?"

Gu Lie: "Where you dare, come and have a look, everyone is just kidding around."

"Not leaving yet?"

"Yes, yes, I will leave immediately, I will leave immediately." He waved at the guards, and then looked at Wu Tuo with a sneer: "Miss Wu, are you stupid or stupid? General Wu Constitution, we can get closer in the future Get close!"

A dispute soon dissipated.

From head to tail, Wang Shen, who was sitting in the distance, didn't move a bit, and he was still drinking a cup of hot tea leisurely.

Kong Xian couldn't help asking: "General Wang, all your soldiers are making trouble like that, why don't you care?"

"They want to make trouble on their own, and they stop when they get tired. After chasing and killing the defeated army all night, the establishment of various ministries is in chaos. I am among you and you are among you. No one can tell who is responsible for this seizure. .”

"This..." Kong Xian was speechless for a while.

Seeing his expression, Wang Shen smiled and said nothing, "The generals of the army compete with each other, and it's normal to dislike each other. Don't make a fuss. Thousands of men stay in the barracks all day long. You want them to be gentle, modest, and polite. Is it possible? If you don’t accept me, I don’t accept you. It’s right to compete with each other. If everyone is harmonious and called brothers, it’s my turn to worry about being the commander-in-chief. gone."

As the boss of a company in the later generations, he still understands the basic methods of imperial control.It is normal for the people under his command to form factions. The so-called no party outside the party, the emperor's thinking, and no faction within the party are all kinds of strange things.A group should have many factions and express different opinions, so that they can make progress together, and it will not make the leader limited to incompetence, which is conducive to development.

Wang Shen took another sip of tea, and asked with a smile: "Boyuan, I want to ask you something, how do you usually deal with prisoners after the Kong family army captures them?"

"Daosi, generally speaking, once the prisoners are captured, we save the young and weed out the weak, and select the young and strong to enrich the army. As for the old and weak, we disperse them. After all, the army has limited food and fodder, and it is impossible to feed so many. old and weak."

Wang Shen: "Yes, yes, I see that there are many athletes in your army, and among them are the archers I need most. However, it is very difficult to identify them one by one. Otherwise, I would like to ask Boyuan to help you. Pick out the archers and the good soldiers among them."

When Kong Xian heard this, he was suddenly annoyed: What do you think I am, Wang Daosi? I am the major general of the Kong family army. How can I turn my elbows and help the enemy? ?
For a moment, his face was full of excitement.

Why did Wang Shen not understand what he was thinking, so he purposely turned his face hard and said in a loud voice: "Young general, our army captured tens of thousands of horses today. You were right just now, the army has limited rations and cannot feed so many people. But if they are all scattered, it is inevitable that they will become bandits and cause harm to the people, so it is better to kill them all. If you can pick out this one for me, I can show mercy."

This can be regarded as giving Kong Xian a step down.

"Wang Shen, you butcher!" Kong Xian stood up angrily.

Wang Shen said to his two subordinates: "Accompany the major general to pick people from each army."

Facts have proved that with Kong Xian, the major general of the Confucian family army, soon, those soldiers who need to be used will be selected and enriched into each army.

And because the young master came forward in person, the captives were also confused, thinking that since the young master Kong came to choose me in person, wouldn't it mean that he also surrendered the Sizhou army.That's right, isn't Second Miss married to Wang Daosi? Speaking of which, everyone will be a family in the future, and it doesn't matter where you serve and who you serve?
As a result, the captives willingly integrated into the Sizhou Army group.

Kong Xian didn't know, but he helped Wang Shen, an enemy, a lot.

……

Over there, Wu Constitution was still weeping silently.

Wu Tuo grabbed his hand: "Brother Ang, why do you have to do this?"

Wu Xianxian choked with sobs and said in a low voice: "Brother Wu, there is a sentence I always wanted to say, but every time I said it, I swallowed it back. I bullied you before, it was my fault, I am not human. I also You know, my position as the commander should belong to you, after this battle is over, I will go to the military envoy, tell the truth, and give you justice."

Wu Tuo said anxiously: "Brother, what did you say? Yes, I wanted to kill you at the beginning. However, we brothers don't know each other if we don't fight. Besides, when I was in Majiadu, it would have been better if someone else hurt me like this. I can’t live anymore. You carried me back from the pile of corpses, and I will always remember your kindness in my heart.”

When he said this, tears came out of his eyes: "Brother, you are the commander because you hit that Khitan general in the eye with a stone. You deserve it. Who dares to say more? Besides, you can read, Brain is smart, it is best for you to lead the army. If it were me, I would only know how to charge and kill, and I would definitely kill the brothers in the army. You were wounded all over your body in the first battle. Although everyone didn’t say it verbally, they admired you in their hearts .”

"Brother, you really don't blame me."

"What am I blaming you for? Why are my brothers talking about this? Cough cough..."

"Brother, what's wrong with you, but the injuries on your body haven't fully healed yet?" Wu Xianxian asked in shock.

Wu Tuo smiled shyly, still coughing: "It's nothing serious, the lung meridian was injured when Majiadu was crossing, and it hasn't fully healed yet. After fighting for a day, the injury was triggered."

"Lang Zhong, hurry up and call Lang Zhong."
