Chapter 37: The Guards
In the camp outside the loquat temple, the lights in a certain camp tent were dim, and in the moonlight, through the black and oppressive woods, it seemed to be 'full of shadows' from a distance.
Yu Wenwen, who led the troops to attack the Chen army camp in Jiangjin in the middle of the night, is now swollen with his right eye socket and sitting in the tent with a loss of face for the military doctor to help reduce the swelling, and Li Shimo and others are surrounded by a child who has done something wrong, bowing his head like a child who has done something wrong.
Because these rough men were self-defeating, Yu Wenwen's injuries were made even more serious.
Yu Wenwen, who had been riding half a bucket of water during the previous attack on the camp of the Chen army in Jiangjin, was punched in the right eye socket by the self-proclaimed 'lonely' Chen General, and after returning to the loquat temple camp safely, Yu Wenwen felt that his right eye was almost unable to open, so he was anxious to let Li Shimo, who was the bodyguard, fetch water to apply a dress.
Then these rough men brought hot water and used a handkerchief to help Tong Jun compress his eyes, Yu Wenwen didn't think so much, and as a result, the bruising was more serious, and the entire right eye socket became more and more swollen, and when the military doctor arrived, his right eye was so swollen that he couldn't see it at all.
"Bruising should be compressed with cold water to stop the bleeding!" Yang Ji said with a smile on the side, Yuwen Wen's 'henchman servant' Yuwen was busy settling down his cavalry when he came back fifteen, so he didn't serve by his side, Zhang Yu, who was responsible for taking care of Yuwen Wen on weekdays, led Xiangyang's 'water \ ghost team' to attack Jiang Jinshu, and he didn't come back yet, so he made a joke.
When there is congestion, it is necessary to use cold water (ice water) to stop bleeding and prevent the expansion of the scope of congestion, and then use hot water compress a day later to promote the dissipation and absorption of congestion.
"It's okay, eat a trench and grow wise!" Yu Wenwen couldn't cry or laugh, who made him set the rule that no one was allowed in the new army, including him with servants and subordinates, and without the caring guys who would serve people, they could only rely on these rough guys.
The so-called leading by example, Yu Wenwen did not bring additional guards from the mansion to follow him. Except for the rib essence Zhang Yu who began to grow meat, all who were followed by him were a new army soldier. Zhang Yu's knife skills are good, and his main responsibility is to undertake 'duty' by the way. Yuwen 15 is fully responsible for the cavalry under his command, and he is not considered a servant in the army.
"If the general wants to bring extra people to protect himself, it means that he has no confidence in the army under his command, since the main general has no confidence in the soldiers, then why should the soldiers have faith in the main general?"
This is what Yuwen Wen Wen and his generals said when they communicated, stemming from the 'family ding system' that he and Yang Ji hated very much, and it was the 'family ding' around the military generals in the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't even have a good impression of the trilogy system.
It is true that the combat effectiveness of the troops is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, but it is only suitable for small-scale conflicts between the heroes and the army, and if it develops into a national war for the world, then the division system will be a hindrance.
It's very simple, the trilogy is the private property of the generals, they are not very good at fighting for the national war, and their private property is not very motivated, after all, who fights hard, who suffers, in modern terms, you will use all your savings to speculate in stocks, make money, but you can lose and bear it?
It is precisely because of the shortcomings of the trilogy system. Historically, the Northern Dynasties had begun to implement the government military system in the last years, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was carried forward and strengthened to glory, and then with the collapse of the Juntian system, Yu Wenwen's army was currently recruited, and later decided to 'follow the historical trend' and not go back.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, everyone can stab a few more enemies in the next battle." Yu Wenwen didn't care about the guards being careless, he was determined to implement the rules of his army, so he wanted to let the generals have confidence in the soldiers under his command, and let the soldiers know that the generals had confidence in them.
The main combat mode of the new army is to fight against the infantry cavalry in a spear formation, which is about keeping discipline, daring to be besieged by the infantry and being attacked by the cavalry, daring to resist hard, and as a result, the generals who command the battle have troops to surround and escort and prepare horses to flee at any time, what do the soldiers think?
What's more, the combat method of the spear formation, for the generals who command the phalanx, the phalanx is his greatest guarantee, if you don't even believe in the combat effectiveness of your phalanx, then don't do it, leave quickly, the soldier's skills are not good, you can strengthen training, it is not a reason for the general to lead the private soldier to protect himself.
The generals want to live and die with the phalanx, and Yuwenwen wants to live and die with his own soldiers, so whoever dares to bring private soldiers will get out, and there is no need to discuss. Even Xu Shao, the only 'third generation of officials' who has the ability to lead the troops besides him, is alone when he enlists in the army.
Hearing the words of the unified army saying that it was okay, Li Shimo and others, who had done the wrong thing with good intentions, were relieved. They looked around with guilt on their faces, trying to do something to make up for their mistakes.
"I'm afraid the big guys are all thirsty, go get water to drink, remember to boil the water." Yang Ji looked at the group of elm heads in front of him and was helpless, Yuwenwen had been sitting for so long for the military doctor to treat bruises, none of these men remembered to carry water.
One elm head roared and went out to fetch water with a jug, and the rest stood still like a wooden chicken, seeing that the military doctor had finished disposing of it and retreated and left, and the guards were indifferent, Yang Ji smiled bitterly in his heart, and then got up and went over to help Yuwen Wen unload his armor, and the gang of rough men came back to their senses when they saw this, and surrounded them with a hula.
They always wanted to make up for the mistakes they had just made, and they were in a very anxious mood, surrounded Yuwen Wen like a herd of pigs and even squeezed out Yang Ji, who was very skilled, Yuwen Wen cried and laughed and let the rough men 'remove' the armor on his body, at this time he felt like a weak woman thrown into a man's nest and was ravaged by others.
kept thinking about leading by example in his heart, Yuwen Wen let the other party 'strip light' himself, looking at the glass of cold water that Li Shimo respectfully brought up, his face was expressionless, and Yang Ji, who couldn't look at it, coughed dryly and reminded: "I'm afraid that drinking cold water at night will cause diarrhea, so don't take it to warm it." ”
Seeing Li Shimo, who was full of guilt, left with a jug of water, Yuwen Wen smiled bitterly and said, "At least this heart has nothing to say." He seemed to be convincing Yang Ji, but in fact he was trying to convince himself that the soldiers who were selected as escorts would not serve people, but they were extremely motivated, and they surrounded the generals as soon as there was a stir.
There are no divisions in the army, considering that the generals are worried about sooner or later, no one will be willing to protect themselves on the battlefield without a division, Yuwenwen uses military law to solve it, he stipulates that the team leader and above generals can designate a Shi to follow him as a guard, and usually follow the vigilance, but this Shi must be replaced every once in a while, so as not to be developed into a disguised private soldier.
If the general has his own servants and guards, then he is not allowed to go out with the army outside the barracks, and if there is no war, the general will go out of the barracks with the servants and ask for whatever he wants.
Military law: Whether it is in battle, marching, or in the barracks, if the team leader and above are attacked and the escort is not conducive to the rescue of the other party, then a total of ten people will be killed, if the generals retreat without the order or even flee from the battle, then everyone can kill them with a knife.
The team leader and above can choose one person from the auxiliary soldiers to be a service soldier every once in a while, Yu Wenwen except for Zhang Yu, a service soldier, is to choose a random one to follow him, and the generals have to rely on the soldiers in the army to protect their personal safety.
Yuwen Wen and Yang Jizheng were talking about some military affairs, and suddenly asked, "Is the appearance of this general funny?" He noticed that the rough men around him were all bowing their heads and their shoulders twitching, as if they were holding back a smile.
"No, no. Belch. Ahem, ahem. Li Shimo, who was as strong as a cow, said hesitantly, but he was obviously almost unable to help laughing, and the unified army now has swollen eyes on one side, and it looks funny like a big and small eye, which is really unbearable.
They all know that Yuwen Tongjun, who often shouts and kills, actually has a good temper, and often laughs and scolds with the soldiers, so they are much closer, not to mention that they eat with the soldiers when they eat, which is admirable.
Is the commander of the army the son of the head of Yuwen or what's the 'sunset county prince', such a high-ranking rich and noble gentleman can work and rest with them, so what is there to complain about, the military law is strict, but there are no generals to bully soldiers and deduct military salaries, this is better than other armies, I don't know how many times!
Yuwen Wen looked at these rough men with poor acting skills and was completely speechless, Yang Ji didn't want to watch these guys clumsy and serve people anymore, and they wanted to temporarily take on the duty of duty but were rushed to check on the wounded soldiers of the long knife team, and they had to retire, and after a while, Yuwen Fifteen entered the account and told one thing: the couple they rescued from the Chen Jun camp staged a life and death parting.
"The woman is going to kill herself?" Yu Wenwen frowned when he heard a few words.
"The knife was snatched away, and now the two of them are hugging and crying." Yuwen Fifteen looked sympathetic.
Yu Wenwen thought about the appearance of the woman in the big tent and the man was tied to the ground, so he wondered what kind of dirty 'husband\ former criminal', he sighed for the fate of this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, if he hadn't fought hard against Yu Wenyun, who coveted his wife, this tragic and humiliating fate would have happened to him again.
"Ask them who they are, and let them go home when the fighting subsides."
Yuwen Fifteen said that he had asked the other party only to be a non-local, judging from the accent, it seemed to be a Chen Guoren who went north with the army, Yuwen Wen was a little curious when he heard this, so he asked people to bring this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks over.
After a while, the two were brought in, and when the other party saw Yu Wenwen, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the general's life-saving grace." ”。
"No matter what happened before, now that I have gone through hardships, I am finally happy, and the eldest sister should not think about finding a short-term view." Yu Wenwen started to do ideological work, "The virtuous couple seems to be from Jiangnan? This time, our army will be able to repel Chen's army in a short time when it moves south, I don't know what plans we have in the future? ”
The woman just sobbed in a low voice, and the man's face was gloomy: "The grass people are homeless, and there is no difference between the north and the south of the river. ”
Yuwen Wen didn't reply when he heard this, he looked at the man fixedly, and after a while, he asked tentatively, "Shopkeeper Wang?" ”
The man was shocked when he heard this, then raised his head and looked at Yu Wenwen with incredible eyes, and only spoke after a while: "County Prince? ”
"Where's the payment?" Yuwen Wen almost blurted out that he couldn't help it, the man in front of him turned out to be Wang Yue, a businessman from Chen Guo who released his pigeons, another bastard he recognized when he turned into ashes! (To be continued.) )
