Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    I had been here for a while, and except for some soldiers in some barracks around the school grounds, I didn¡¯t see anyone else, so I asked, ¡°Where are the two thousand soldiers and horses given to me? Why didn¡¯t we see them?¡±  The leader hurriedly bent down and said: "Sir, please wait a moment. The younger ones will go and gather them right away!" After saying that, he ran to the gate, picked up a gong from the corner, and then ran to the school field.  On the same shabby general ordering platform, he banged the gong vigorously. Taking advantage of the interval between the sound of the gong, he raised his voice and shouted: "Gather, gather!" The soldiers standing at the door of some barracks were listening.  After the gong sounded, he walked into the barracks behind him, and then a group of unkempt and ragged people were driven out by them.  Those people looked tired, probably because they had not slept, and most of them were moving while walking, accompanied by the sound of iron tools clashing.  If you look closely, you can see that these people have shackles on their hands and feet.  When the soldiers saw that they were slow, they stabbed them with the handles of their spears and cursed them.  A group of us looked at these people gloomily. It was obvious that the so-called "elite soldiers" given to me by the Ministry of War were this group of beggars-like prisoners in front of me.  The imperial court has always had a tradition of letting unarmored felons rush to the front to serve as cannon fodder during wars. On the one hand, it is to consume the enemy's arrows and other objects, and on the other hand, it serves as a human shield to reduce the losses of the regular army.  However, there have been no conflicts between the Zhou Dynasty and neighboring countries recently, so these people have been assigned to work as coolies in some royal projects.  Obviously, the ones in front of me were transferred from some local cells or some projects. The only good thing is that at least the prisoners I saw were young and middle-aged, and there were no old, weak, sick or disabled people. It seemed that the Ministry of War was still a little scared.  I don¡¯t dare to go too far with the relationship behind my back.  When Yang Kaiwu saw this, he was young and energetic after all. He stamped his feet and said angrily: "I will go back and tell my father that the Ministry of War is going too far. We promised to have two thousand elite soldiers, but now they have become two thousand death row prisoners. I can't swallow this anger."  Don¡¯t go down!¡± After saying that, he turned around and left.  "Kaiwu!" I shouted in a low voice, "Stop!" "Brother Deng!" Yang Kaiwu was a little unconvinced and said, "Is this all you can swallow?" "You have to swallow it if you can't!" I said, "You  Don¡¯t you know what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yang Kaiwu asked, looking at the gathering teams again. In his eyes, there was nothing but a group of prisoners who looked like beggars.  I looked away and said, "The emperor's decree said that I would be given two thousand elite soldiers, but now the Ministry of War has given me two thousand prisoners. If someone hadn't tacitly allowed them to do this, how could they have been so bold?" "They?"  Why do you do this? One is to vent your anger. Yesterday at the court, the Minister of War, Gu Renjian, and the Imperial Censor, Zeng Daorong, both wanted to participate in my book, but they did not seize the opportunity. This time, they wanted to take revenge. The other is to throw a bunch of people away.  The prisoners were given to me, and the camp was chosen next to the most powerful imperial army in the capital, in order to ruin my reputation and make everyone in the capital laugh at me." "Then I have to report it to my father! They are avenging a private revenge!  "Yang Kaiwu said anxiously.  "Confused!" I sternly said, "If you go back and report to your father and ask him to replace me with two thousand real elite soldiers, then that is the way to truly defeat these people!" "I am now a third-rank official in one fell swoop.  The young man looked jealous. It's true that they wanted revenge, but if you ask your father to give me two thousand elite soldiers, you are playing into their hands. They will use this as an excuse to ask the emperor to demote my official position. At the same time, it will also make everyone think that  I, Deng Long, am a follower! Then not only will my reputation be damaged in the court, but the reputation of my chamber of commerce will also be damaged. And why did the emperor only give me two thousand soldiers and horses? He just wanted to see my strength. If  I can't even bring out these two thousand soldiers and horses, so how can I get the emperor's favor?" "Do you think the emperor is using this to test you?" Yang Kaiwu asked, his tone full of disbelief?  I shook my head and said: "The emperor's original intention was not like this, but now that this kind of thing has happened, he is also willing to see my performance. This is also considered a heavy investment. Before investing, always look at the details to see if it is worth the investment.  !" "So, I have to bring these two thousand people out! And I can only succeed and not fail!" I said firmly without any hesitation!  Yang Kaiwu also understood what I meant and asked: "Then what should we do now?" "What should we do?" I chuckled, "Aren't these people trying to trick me? How could I give them a chance, fourth child!"  "Brother! What's the matter?" Lao Si asked immediately.  "Go back to Yuan Yuzhao immediately and ask him to invite all the tailors in the capital. Hurry! At the same time, go to the butcher shop and get me more meat. I want to treat my soldiers well!"  Yes!" Lao Si replied immediately, then turned around and rode away from Juechen.  After the arrangements were made, I said to the third child: "Lao San, you immediately go to Gongsun Zhi with my invitation to ask him to help me prepare some wood and other materials and craftsmen. The price is easy to negotiate!" Originally, the Chamber of Commerce was on board.  There are many craftsmen in Lingma, but I don¡¯t have time to arrange them now. What I want now is to repair the current barracks. After all, it is also my army. Even if there are only two thousand people, these things cannot be careless.?!  As for weapons and armor, the current armor and weapons are all sent by the Ministry of War. According to the current situation, what the Ministry of War gave me is definitely not a good thing. If I go to the battlefield in the future, good armor is an important thing to save my life, so I  I plan to find the prime minister. No matter what, I must at least get the weapons and armor equipment rights in my own hands. With the strength of the Chamber of Commerce as the backing, it is not difficult to have armor, weapons and war horses for two thousand soldiers and horses!  Of course, we can get as much as we can from the emperor.  After the third child left, I said to the remaining people: "Come on, follow me to see my soldiers!" As a joke, I took the lead to the general station.  Not long after walking, I heard someone beating, cursing and screaming.  I looked for the sound and saw a soldier knocking a prisoner to the ground and kicking him. The prisoner couldn't resist and could only protect his head. The surrounding prisoners could only glare at the soldier.  My heart sank, and I burst into rage. I shouted sternly: "Stop it!" Then I quickly walked over there.  When the soldier heard what I said, he immediately stopped. After he stopped, he didn't forget to spit on the prisoner!  I walked over, gave the prisoner a cold look, and then shouted: "Stand up!" Yang Kaiwu next to him immediately went to help him.  "Stop!" I shouted, "Let him get up! If you are a man, get up!" The man struggled to stand up as if he was irritated, and then stared at me fiercely.  "Pah!" I slapped him hard.  The prisoner's head turned away after I slapped him in the face, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he immediately turned around and stared at me fiercely.  This slap sounded particularly loud in the silent school grounds.  The prisoner's eyes were also fixed on me.  "Do you know why I hit you?" I asked coldly.  "Because you deserve to be beaten!" "I beat you just to make you remember! If you stand here today, you are either a prisoner or one of my soldiers, Deng Long! My soldiers are all tough guys. Not that kind  You're a coward if you don't fight back after you've been hit! If someone punches you, no matter how hard you fight, you'll get it back for me!" "Did you hear that clearly?" My roaring voice floated over the entire school grounds.  When I said this, the prisoner's eyes suddenly ignited with raging anger. He stared hard at the soldier who just beat him, and then shouted: "Listen clearly!" The soldier who just beat him was very proud of this.  Suddenly he changed, and then he quickly took a few steps back!  "Black bear!" I yelled.  "Here!" The black bear walked up to me holding two axes.  "Break his shackles and handcuffs!" I ordered.  "Yes, brother!" Black Bear immediately stepped forward and struck with two axes, breaking the prisoner's shackles and handcuffs from the middle.  The prisoner moved his hands and feet, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, then turned his head and stared hard at the soldier who had just beaten him.  "Do you remember what I just said?" I asked loudly.  "Remember!" The prisoner's eyes were filled with blazing anger again.  "That's good!" "Ah!" My words were like a signal. The prisoner glared and roared at the soldier just now!  "Sir! Your Majesty!" The person who was leading the team just now saw that something was wrong. He quickly threw away the gong in his hand and ran down, saying anxiously: "This can't be done!" "Why can't it be done?" I looked at the field.  The two of them, this prisoner used to seem to be good at kung fu and used every move in a precise manner. However, due to long-term fatigue, his strength was not as strong as that of the soldiers. After a while, there were many wounds of various sizes on his body, but this time  It does not affect his fighting spirit. The more injuries he has, the stronger his fighting spirit will be!  On the other hand, the soldier, faced with the prisoner's desperate fighting style, had already lost three points in terms of momentum. Although he caused a lot of wounds to his opponent with the power of his spear, he did not get any wounds from the prisoner's attack.  What a bargain.  Finally, the prisoner seized an opportunity and fought so hard that he received an additional scar on his body. He punched the soldier hard, knocking him to the ground and fainting, and his strength seemed to have been taken away.  Usually, he falls directly backwards to the ground and lets out big mouthfuls of air.  The leader hurriedly ran to the fainted soldier and checked his breath with his hand. He found that he was still breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not forget to ask: "Sir! Why did you instigate the prisoner to fight?"  Him! It would be bad if Mr. Gu knew about it!" "You said it was Gu Renjian!" I asked in a low voice, then raised my tone and shouted: "I'll tell you again, they are standing here today, it's not  Prisoner!" "But!" "My soldiers, Deng Long!"
