When the two old men were sure that they heard correctly, they couldn't help but feel a little weak: at such an old age, the biggest official they have ever come into contact with is the tax collector who collected taxes when they went to the city to sell goods, and few of those tax officials were not. A very arrogant person. And the man in front of me is a general! Those generals were all riding tall horses, wearing armor, and followed by many soldiers. They were very majestic figures! That's someone who's a lot bigger than those tax collectors. The old village chief laughed more and more, and became frightened. He couldn't help but feel weak on his feet and was about to kneel down. Jing'er on the side quickly supported him, thinking that he was scared, so she smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be afraid, these people are here to help." The village harvesters!" I had already asked everyone to get up. The old village chief looked at the people in front of him suspiciously. They were all full of toughness. Their bodies were much stronger than ordinary men. When he took a closer look at the things in these people's hands, wasn't it a sickle? ? Seeing that the old village chief still didn't believe it, I smiled and said, "Uncle, I can guarantee that these people are indeed here to help you harvest rice, and they have no other ill intentions!" Then I pointed to the sky and said, "Look, it's almost over. It's raining. Please call the villagers out as soon as possible. Time waits for no one!" The old village chief came to his senses at this time. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay! Okay!" Then he ran towards home. After a while, the villagers remembered Dangdangdang. The sound of the gong was accompanied by the slightly excited voice of the old village chief: "Everyone, come out quickly. The court has sent people to help us harvest the crops. Come out quickly, everyone!" After watching the old village chief leave, I turned my head and said, Scanning the team, it seemed that Yang Kaiwu had worked hard yesterday. The whole team had a vague military flavor, and Yuan Yuzhao's side was also good. Day and night, these people basically wore uniforms. Clothes, but probably because they were rushed, the quality was not very good. But this flaw will be ignored for now. It's better than a group of people coming out still wearing tattered prison uniforms! After looking around, I asked loudly: "Do you know what you are doing today?" "Harvest the crops!" Everyone yelled loudly. It seemed that Yang Kaiwu and the others had already explained it. "Wrong!" I said mercilessly: "Today we are here to be sons!" Then I pointed to the village behind me and said: "Originally, there were many men like you in this village, but they were recruited by the imperial court to be sons. After leaving the army, some old people were left behind, so that no one harvested the crops in the fields! Today we are here to help those brothers fulfill their obligations! These old people are our parents!" Then I paused and said loudly: " Do you understand?" "I understand!" All the soldiers shouted loudly. I nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I want you to always remember one thing. I don't care who you were before or what you did before. From yesterday, you are soldiers! At the same time, I also want to tell you that no matter whether it is the court It doesn¡¯t matter, it¡¯s me, Deng Long! I only have command authority over you, and your real owners are the common people! Just like you, we are all soldiers of the common people! We fight for the common people, if there are any of you who have Parents, wives and children. Even if you die on the battlefield one day, your blood will be shed for them!" After saying this, I asked Yang Kaiwu, "Has the discipline of our army been announced?" Yang Kaiwu nodded. . for this discipline. I took it with me yesterday morning when I went out to accept the army. Basically, it follows the three major disciplines and eight points of attention of the People's Liberation Army. I gave it to him when I came to open the military camp yesterday. I nodded again, feeling satisfied. My words were not only heard clearly by the two thousand people in front of me. Even many people in the village heard it. In addition to the old village chief's notice, many villagers flocked to the entrance of the village. The old village chief also ran over sweating profusely and said: "General General, everyone has been notified!" I nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work!" Then he pointed to the two thousand people in front of him and said: " I will leave these two thousand people to you. You have the final say on how to harvest and where to start. They will be your sons these days! You can tell them what to do, no need to be polite!" The old village chief said quickly: "This is impossible! How can I, an old man, command them?" Jing'er on the side laughed and said: "Uncle, don't be polite. This guy is okay in other aspects. If he is asked to fiddle with these, he will not be able to figure it out. , In the end, not only will I help you, but I may become even busier as I get tied up!" Jing'er is more charming. After listening to what Jing'er said, the old village chief no longer refused. At the same time, I also brought Yang Kaiwu and the twenty captains together. When others are called over, it depends on the old village chief to make arrangements. This order still needs to be given by Yang Kaiwu and the others! Although these two thousand people are not legitimate people now, they are less thoughtful than some so-called legitimate people. They are more convinced of the twenty captains selected in yesterday's competition, and Yang Kaiwu fought alone as the last one Although the five captains were defeated in the end, it was due to the efforts of the group. Moreover, Yang Kaiwu was easy-going and upright in his defeat, which also won everyone's favor. Therefore, these people usually call him Young General, and they have no regard for Yang Kaiwu's orders. Still more obedient. After the arrangements were made, each team, ranging from dozens to hundreds of people, began to harvest rice from the roadside. One part is responsible for harvesting, another part is responsible for taking off the rice grains, and the other part is responsible for harvesting rice.Responsible for transfer. Most of these people have done farm work to some extent before. Although they were a little unfamiliar at first, they gradually became accustomed to it and became proficient, and their speed also became faster. Most of the villagers in the village are now women and children, and those who work hard cannot help. They can only help boil some water and give it to those who work in the fields. As for lunch and dinner, Lao San has told me that Yuan Yuzhao had sent people to prepare the equipment when I left. They are probably on the way now. There are also some tents where we came from. I will not go back to the camp at night. Anyway, the camp is now There is still nothing but tents inside, and it doesn¡¯t matter if I can¡¯t go back! And this is not the village that has been drafted. I plan to use two thousand soldiers and horses to form a food grabbing team, and try to do our best to harvest food before the rainy day. But my purpose as a grain-grabbing team is to harvest, not to rob! The fields were very busy, and Jing'er and I couldn't help at all. There were Lao San, Yang Kaiwu, the old village chief and others in charge, and there were two thousand people harvesting. I originally wanted to help boil water, but when others looked at me, they knew I was a general and refused to let me do it. The same goes for Jing'er, she is the general's wife. So Jing'er and I became the two most leisurely people. I had no choice but to pull Jing'er and slowly walk back in the direction to see how many fields there were. Zhui Dian followed a little dishonestly, rubbing his head on our backs from time to time, as if he hated this kind of stroll. After being rubbed a few times, I laughed and helped Jing'er onto the horse's back. I followed the way I had just arrived and sat behind me, gently shaking the reins, while Chai Dian jogged a few steps. But after walking a few steps, Jing'er suddenly pointed forward and said, "Look! There are a lot of soldiers coming!" Looking in the direction she pointed, not far away, a lot of soldiers and horses came. When I saw the armor, I I knew this was my neighbor and the Royal Guards were coming. As for the purpose of the Royal Guards' coming, I have roughly guessed three points. In the imperial court, private deployment of troops was a serious crime. Although I am the largest of these two thousand troops besides the Emperor, I still have the right to mobilize them. But after all, he did not say hello to the emperor. In addition, this group of soldiers and horses was not ordinary soldiers and horses, and they were mobilized inexplicably. I guess the emperor was also worried, so he sent the imperial guards. Although I said that, I didn't want anyone to ruin my plan, so I pulled the reins and stopped in the middle of the road, waiting quietly for them to approach. As the Royal Guards approached, I saw clearly that the person walking at the front was an old general, with a big Chinese character Zhou on the banner behind him. Around him were more than a dozen men on horseback, while the rest of the Guardsmen were on foot. The advancing imperial army stopped when they saw someone blocking the way. The leading old general saw Zhui Dian sitting down with a little surprise on his face, but then he guessed from Zhui Dian who was blocking the road. Despite this, he still waved his hand, and a soldier behind him rode out of the queue, walked up to me, and asked: "Who is blocking the way?" His tone was very arrogant! "General Zhongwu Deng Long!" I replied without any politeness! The soldier was obviously stunned, and then asked: "What is the proof?" I was speechless. When I went out, I didn't wear official uniforms or official seals. Apart from the jade finger ring that proved that I was the head of the Deng family, I really didn't have anything on my body. Other things that can later prove that I am General Zhongwu! "Come back!" The old general said at this time, with a tone that could not be refuted by others, "No need to ask, he is Deng Long!" Then he waved his riding whip gently and walked towards me. And the soldier naturally returned to his queue. The old general looked Jing'er up and down and said, "This girl is probably Qian Qian Jing from the Shangling Prefecture!" Jing'er's bright big eyes were full of doubts and asked, "How do you know that I am Qian Jing? "The old general laughed and said: "Everyone in Shanling knows that Deng Long has three confidantes, Ouyang Feixue, the daughter of the Ouyang family, Qian Jing, the daughter of the prefect, and Zhen Yingying, a talented girl from Shanling." "Have you been to Shanling?" "No." The old general shook his head and said with a smile: "But as soon as you came to the capital, my Eighth Emperor brother sent someone to send me a letter telling me about this!" Eighth Emperor brother? My heart moved, and I immediately got off the horse, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Deng Long pays homage to the prince!" As for the rank of the prince, I don't know, so I can only say this ambiguously. The old general laughed and said: "My Eighth Emperor brother is right! You kid, you never do things according to common sense!" Then he turned around and ordered: "Give me the order, rest where you are!" Then he pointed to the road. On a small hillside, he said: "Let's go! Go up and talk!"
