Chapter 44: Decapitation and Twenty Sticks

(Thank you jxlone and Nanyang Huo for their support for the two children's shoes, thank you, ask for recommendation votes!) )

As soon as I arrived early in the morning of the second day, the drums had begun to beat in the left camp of Wendeng Camp in the southwest corner of the Jiulizhuang United Army Camp.

The first drum is the wake-up drum, the second drum is the assembly drum, when the third drum falls, and those who have not yet come out of the drill will be beheaded according to military law.

Early in the morning, Li Jing had already gotten up, first brushed and fed the black war horse that Feng Liang gave him, and then began to put on his equipment. Today is the day when Zuo Yidu started training in advance, and it is also the first day that he was appointed by Du Yuhou as the head of Zuo Yidu to be responsible for training according to his training plan.

Putting on the mountain character armor, Li Jing put the seven-foot jade sword given to him by Cui Tingshi on his back, and then hung the three-foot three-horizontal sword of the camp collar on his waist. On the leggings on his left foot, a one-foot-long dagger was also tied. Then he hung a round iron sheet on his horse, and then put it on the back of the bow bag with the horns, and took out two quiver pots full of arrows, and hung a kettle and a grain bag on the left and one on the right on his waist.

After putting on all the other small equipment, Li Jing took the pocket and buckled it on his head, turned over his horse, reached out and took the spear from the shelf, and walked towards the school yard in full gear.

The first one on the left specially used a special school field, which is in the southwest of Daying, and the original wasteland is removed from the grass and trees, and it is 1,200 steps away. The first and second teams are separated by two teams, fifty paces apart, separated from each other. Each team is in a column of ten people, five steps apart, in five columns. Around the school grounds, there are also colorful tooth flags.

At five o'clock, after the second drum was completed, the two teams of 100 soldiers on the left were already wearing helmets and armor, and they were fully armed to line up. As the first day of the official morning exercise, no soldier dared to be careless, as early as yesterday they knew that this time Zuo Yidu started training in advance because of the order of Zuo Du Yuhou.

The head of the general, the deputy general, Yu Hou, the head of the coach, the head of the two teams, and the deputy of the team are all standing in front of the front.

Li Jing and other officers arrived at Qi Liding, and there were military musicians blowing the big horn three links. The big drum in the middle is beating, and the two teams below are also beating the drums.

The third drum stopped, the two teams of flag bearers raised the flag, and the two teams of soldiers on the left knelt down on one knee according to the law.

Wang Chong turned his head to Li Jing and said: "Li Jiaotou, since the Marquis of Song Du Yu has appointed you as the head of the capital, then you will lecture you below." ”

Li Jing nodded, strode onto the wooden one-zhang high platform, and shouted: "Military order: Emphasize martial arts to teach people to fight, and advance and retreat are like military law." There is a constant reward for using life, and there is a permanent punishment for not using life. Reluctantly? Wen Zou Zou said this, but these were all formalities according to the old practice, and the soldiers below also knew about this procedure.

As soon as Li Jing finished saying this, the military drummer immediately began to beat the drum, the flag bearer also raised the flag again, and the soldiers who knelt down below also stood up one after another. Then Yuhou Zhang Hong stepped forward and began to click on the roster on the left. Every time a person's name was called, a soldier below shouted loudly. This procedure took more than a quarter of an hour, and the left one belonged to two teams of 100 people, so it was as good as 100 people, and there was a shortage of one person.

Wang Chong, Li Jing, and other officers stood on the stage with their faces sinking like water, and it was of great significance to the fact that today's first day of training was the first to start in the entire battalion. Wang Chong, Li Jing and other officers deliberately explained to their subordinates several times yesterday, but it can be said that on the first day, there were still people who had not arrived.

The people who didn't arrive were the people of the second team, Wang Chong gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Hong: "Zhang Yuhou, the three drums have not been done, how should they be dealt with according to military law?" ”

Zhang Hong didn't reply immediately, but glanced at Feng Liang on the right. Feng Liang is the leader of the second team on the left, and the person who didn't arrive was his soldier. Feng Liang's face turned pale with the same anger, he had been busy dealing with the matter of buying military merits in the past two days. Although Li Jing was very face-saving, after taking a few hundred yuan of money, he happily gave him the three military merit heads. But the matter is not done, after all, the matter has to be reported to the top. However, his uncle Feng Yanqing had already told him, saying that he would handle everything in this matter, and he would not make any extraneous complications, so let him sit and wait to die.

It took so much energy out of him that he didn't have time to control his team. In the past two days, other teams have been digging ditches and piling piles to build camps, but their team has stayed idle in the camp because of his relationship. As a result, these guys actually got together to play money, and playing money was nothing, after all, the camp had not officially opened. But these bastards didn't even dare to make a mark this morning, isn't this looking for death? It doesn't matter if he looks for death, the key thing is that Feng Liang feels that he has lost his own people.

He heard it last night that yesterday Song Duyu Marquis and Song Shi General actually inspected Li Jing's team, and Li Jing actually proposed a training plan for Song Duyu Marquis, and he actually got Du Yuhou's appreciation. This incident has already made him feel that he is inferior to Li Jing, and now the two teams of people on the left are training together, and there is still one person on his side who has not been on time.

Zhang Hong saw that Feng Liang had no intention of making a sound, and after coughing twice, he said: "Those who have not arrived after the three-way drum is finished will be beheaded according to military law!" The head of the owl passed the head of the battalion to show vigilance. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, come on, send someone to arrest that damn bastard Lao Tzu, and immediately behead the public!"

Soon, the unlucky guy who had played the money too late last night and forgot to sleep was taken under his head.

"Decapitate immediately!" Wang Chong's face was angry, and he was still very happy when Du Yuhou proposed that Zuo Yidu train according to Li Jing's plan in advance yesterday. After all, this is a rare opportunity to show his face, as long as he has a little achievement, he will be appreciated by Lord Duyu Hou at that time. But on the first day, such a bad thing happened, and later, the matter will definitely spread to the top, and I don't know what the upper part of the road will think of him. He couldn't show his face, but he showed his ass in public, and Wang Chong was extremely angry now.

The hapless fellow didn't understand his situation until this point, and began to cry out in horror and beg for mercy. It's just that no one pays attention to this at all. Later, he saw Feng Liang, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and shouted: "Feng Wulang, save my brother, our two families have been friends for decades, and we have known each other since childhood, you can't watch me die." Please, please ask the captain for a favor and help me! ”

That guy is indeed a world friend with Feng Liang's family, and his family is also a local wealthy family, this time Feng Liang joined the United Army in order to seek a background and get an official position. And this guy's situation is also much worse, Feng Liang is the team leader, but this guy is the deputy of the second team.

Feng Liang didn't want to help him, but it can be seen that he found out the friendship between the two families, and he was really afraid that he would continue to talk nonsense, and he didn't know how much Lu Dao wanted to tell the prostitutes who the two of them were messing around with before, so he immediately endured his anger and said to Wang Chong and Zhang Hong: "Captain Wang, Zhang Yuhou, this person is also a first-time offender, and I also ask the two of you to raise your noble hand." Besides, we are a unity soldier, not an official Jian, not a battlefield, we are hungry and forgiving, this guy's family is also a wealthy family, if he lets him go this time, he will also be grateful. ”

This matter is serious, it is serious, but it is not that you have to kill that guy. After all, this is a unity soldier, and it is the first day of training. If at the beginning, Feng Liang pleaded with Wang Zhong and told the background of that guy, things might have taken a turn for the better.

But just now Zhang Hong gave him the opportunity, but he didn't seize it, but he had an attitude of not caring about it. When Wang Zhong planned to make an example, he jumped out again. And at this time, he just said it so plainly, and he also moved out of the other party's family background, and he still had to say something to thank him.

This is too wrong to say at the right time, Li Jing knows some of Wang Chong's background, and he knows that he is from Qingzhou, and his family also has an identity. Like Wang Chong, if you put things plain and ask for a favor or something, maybe he will really pass. But you didn't plead at first, and when he dealt with the matter, you came to intercede again, and at this time you moved out of your family background, which is obviously a bit overwhelming.

Sure enough, Wang Chong looked at Feng Liang with a dark face, and a few words almost popped out of his teeth: "Execute it immediately!" ”

The two soldiers stepped forward to drag the person away, and his face was as white as paper, what he was thinking about at this time was not to save people, but Wang Chong's refusal to sweep his face and embarrass him. He suddenly shouted at Li Jing: "Brother Ji Yu, they are all in the army, and please talk to the captain." ”

Li Jing knew that he wanted to use his name as a protΓ©gΓ© to suppress Wang Chong and force Wang Chong to release people. If he really did what Feng Liang said, then even if Li Jing had the experience of killing bandits with Wang Chong before, he would definitely turn his face after that.

Between Feng Liang and Wang Chong, Li Jing must have chosen Wang Chong, the boss who had killed bandits side by side. But he couldn't directly refuse Feng Liang, and Li Jing had no choice but to walk over and say to Wang Chong: "Captain Wang, since the head of the Feng team is so plea, vouch for him." Why don't the lieutenants report this matter to the Marquis of Wang Junyu of Wendeng Camp and ask him to make a judgment. ”

Wang Chong and Li Jing looked at each other, Li Jing made a look at him, and Wang Zhong understood. Fu Xu said: "That's good, since the head of the team is pleading, and there is Li Jiaotou's gang saying, then we will not kill for the time being, and report the matter to the Wang General Yu Hou, and he will be the master." ”

The people sent to the place of the king general Yu Hou soon returned, and also brought back the personal approval of the king general Yu Hou and Song Shi Jiang, and immediately beheaded them in public, and then beheaded the whole camp as a warning. and ordered a warning to Feng Liang, who pleaded for intercession, and fined twenty military sticks as a warning. If there is any more intercession, they will be beheaded.

After receiving this reply, Feng Liang's eyes darkened and he almost fainted. He didn't expect that after a long time, the person didn't save it, but took him into it.
