142.Chapter 142
Hearing Li Dayin say this, Chen Xu was suddenly a little speechless.
Because the Yellow Turban Army grabbed a lot of grain, grass and baggage, the car could not fit some of them. Besides, the car is too big, and it is very inconvenient to take those rough paths.
In order to speed up the march, Chen Xu ordered the grain to be divided into small bags and handed over to the men to carry. The rest is pulled by a trolley,
A man in the prime of life like Li Dayin carries thirty pounds of grain. It's a short time and there's nothing, but it's exhausting to march all the way.
The young man who was kicked to the ground by Li Dayin was only carrying twenty catties of grain because of his thin body and young age.
Li Dayin was originally the son of a slave from a large family, and because of his strong birth, coupled with his father's loyalty to the big family, he was deeply respected by his master.
It is because although this person inherited the identity of a domestic slave, he lived a good life.
But I didn't want to recruit thieves in the big family later, and the family was killed except for the women. The bandit leader saw that Li Dayin was strong, so he arrested him as his subordinate.
Li Da came stealthily as a house slave of a big family, and flattery and patting horses and whiskers are naturally handy. It didn't take long for him to gain the trust of the bandit leader.
On a dark and windy night, Li Dayin saw that the bandit leader was drunk, so he took the opportunity to kill this person, and then swept away some belongings and fled down the mountain at night.
He relied on his physical strength and the fact that he would judge the situation, so he quickly gathered more than a hundred minions and occupied a small hill.
Huangfu Song led his troops to pursue Chen Xu, and when he encountered Li Dayin's mountain, he easily broke through the cottage, and only Li Dayin escaped with his life.
After Chen Xu defeated Huangfu Song, Li Dayin defected to the Yellow Turban Army. Originally, he thought that according to his martial arts and physique, he could at least get a half-official position.
He didn't expect that after coming here, he would be arranged into the reserve and be accompanied by these old, weak, sick and disabled. This not only made Li Dayin, who thinks highly of himself, a little indignant.
Fortunately, he has a lot of eyes and knows that the Yellow Turban Army is not easy to mess with, so he has been holding back.
Today he walked for a day with food on his back, and he was already exhausted.
But when he saw that the young man had come all the way down without changing his face, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Li Dayin didn't believe that the young man's physical strength would be stronger than him anyway. He only believed that it was because the boy had too little food on his back.
So, Li Dayin began to try.
He has been able to live until now, and he is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows the saying that people cannot be disguised.
That's why at the beginning, he was still very polite, just begging the young man to help him carry some food so that he could share some of the pressure.
But he didn't want the young man to ignore Li Dayin, which was tantamount to making Li Dayin feel despised. There is no doubt that Li Dayin broke out.
Even when he was angry, he still maintained his vigilance. At first, he just stood at a distance, swearing at the teenager.
He saw anger in the boy's eyes, but the boy never dared to fight back. This made Li Dayin believe that this young man was a soft persimmon.
Fang Cai's kick was Li Dayin's revenge on the young man after his temptation.
Li Dayin foamed at the mouth and finished talking about how the young man was and how brave he was.
Then he stiffened his neck and said: "Qu Shuai, which of us who is a soldier is not brave and ruthless?" This guy is a bad breed and deserves to be bullied. ”
Chen Xu stared at Li Dayin and asked word by word: "Do you know that this person is your robe?" ”
Li Dayin said nonchalantly: "We are all reserves now, even if Qu Shuai finally chooses soldiers among us, that guy will not be selected, how can he become my robe?" ”
Then he patted his strong chest vigorously and said, "To be honest, a strong man like me should join the most elite Yellow Turban cavalry. ”
"Qu Shuai asked me to be this Laoshizi reserve soldier and let me carry food, isn't this overkill?"
After speaking, Li Dayin secretly looked at Chen Xu's face.
He is not a stupid person, and he definitely does not dare to anger Chen Xu. The reason why he said this paragraph was that he decided that Chen Xu would not punish him for this.
Didn't what he said represent the thoughts of many other bandits and rogues?
These people defected to the Yellow Turban Army, didn't they come for Chen Xu's prestige of killing Huangfu Song? Now that they are here, they want to join the most elite cavalry, not be some kind of reserve.
Chen Xu stared at Li Dayin for a long time, and then turned his head to look at the young man. The young man's stubborn eyes suddenly touched Chen Xu's heart.
He would never think that a teenager with such eyes would be a wreck.
Li Dayin said it well, the strong in the army are respected, and cowards will only be despised by others, even if Chen Xu is the same.
If Li Dayin bullied those old, weak, sick and disabled, Chen Xu would not hesitate to deal with him by military law.
But he bullied a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and this matter is another matter. In the military, there are many cases of the big bullying the small and the strong bullying the weak.
If this kind of thing doesn't happen, it will be abnormal, and it will show that this team has no blood.
The strong should have the dignity of the strong; The weak should have the consciousness of the weak.
The law of the jungle is vividly interpreted in the army.
"What's your name?" Chen Xu stared at the young man and asked slowly.
The young man was still carrying the rice bag and replied, "Wu Di." ”
Chen Xu pointed at Li Dayin and asked the young man, "He bullied you, why didn't you fight back." ”
The boy replied, "He is not my enemy!" ”
Hearing this reply, Chen Xu's eyes shrank, and then said, "If you can defeat him, I will promote you to be a personal soldier." ”
When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up.
He silently put down the food on his shoulders and walked towards Li Dayin step by step.
Chen Xu said to Li Dayin again: "Throw away the knife in your hand, prove your bravery empty-handed, and I will include you in the ranks of the cavalry." ”
Li Dayin's eyes also lit up, he threw away all the things on his body, and pounced on the boy with a cruel smile.
The young man glanced at the knife on the ground, turned around to dodge Li Dayin's attack, and then ran over and picked it up like lightning.
The boy moves very quickly, like an agile ape. Li Dayin threw himself out with all his strength, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly saw the young man pick up the knife and slash at him.
Li Dayin's soul was in a hurry, and while dodging, he shouted: "He used a knife, it's not fair!" ”
However, the young man's body was too agile, and it didn't take long for Li Dayin to be forced to be embarrassed by the young man.
"Kill!"
Li Dayin finally had no way to retreat, and was forced into a corner by the teenager. Seeing that the young man was about to slash at him, Li Dayin couldn't help shouting: "I admit defeat!" I throw in the towel! ”
……
Although this small riot in the army was resolved, Chen Xu felt that the order he gave really needed to be revised.
Although Li Dayin bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, he even made Chen Xu look down on him. But his outlook on life made Chen Xu feel a lot.
The enemy is strong and I wither, and the enemy is weak and I am strong, isn't this a manifestation of human nature?
It's just that some people love face and don't want to show their side of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. But Li Dayin, a domestic slave from a naturally large family, doesn't know what face is.
In his eyes, there is nothing wrong with being able to please his master, groveling, and slapping the horse's whiskers.
People like him, once they meet those with weak personalities, are often able to show a very strong aura. But when you meet someone stronger than yourself, you will immediately reveal your true form.
So in Chen Xu's eyes, Li Dayin is a real villain.
However, if Chen Xu knew that Li Dayin was captured by the bandits and went up the mountain, he endured humiliation and killed the bandit leader and avenged his father and master, he might be impressed by this person.
However, Chen Xu didn't know this. So he misjudged this person, but it was reasonable.
Chen Xu brought Wu Di to his side and made him his personal soldier, and he let Li Dayin join the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.
In any case, this person uses weapons and can catch his three shots, at least in terms of martial arts, there is still something commendable.
Then Chen Xu ordered: The strong in the army are respected, and among all the reserves, if anyone can win any of his personal soldiers in a heads-up, he is qualified to get rid of his current identity and become the real elite of the Yellow Turban Army.
But everyone only has one chance to challenge. If he can't defeat his own soldiers, he can only be temporarily put in reserve.
Chen Xu's current personal soldiers are only 200 people. But these two hundred people, all of whom were carefully selected from all the Yellow Turban Army, were the real elite.
Each of them has followed Chen Xu to the battlefield several times, and each of them has at least two lives of officers and soldiers in their hands.
What if these people really have the ability to defeat their own soldiers and let them actually join the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army?
Since Chen Xu defeated Huangfu Song and captured a lot of war horses, plus the horses captured in the various counties of Changshan Country, there are 5,000 war horses.
Now the Yellow Turban Army has only 3,000 cavalry, and there are 2,000 war horses left. If some brave soldiers can really be selected, the cavalry under Chen Xu's tent can be expanded again.
Of course, those who have just joined the non-commissioned officers still have a long way to go if they want to become real cavalry elites.
After all, the current cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army can become like this, which is tempered from blood and fire.
Not to mention anything else, from Guangzong all the way north, until he killed Huangfu Song. For a long time, these Yellow Turbans have been marching on horseback.
If it weren't for their firm beliefs, I'm afraid they would have been unable to support it a long time ago.
This is also why, Chen Xu will give priority to recruiting the Yellow Turban Army as cavalry. Firm faith sometimes means that they have a strong will.
The cavalry's requirements for will are very high.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Chen Xu looked at the southeast direction and was silent for a long time.
Passive defense is definitely not Chen Xu's style.
If he didn't take the initiative to attack, these tens of thousands of rabble, composed of a few bandits and outcasts, would very likely be exterminated by officers and soldiers.
Another war is coming.
