Volume 3 Iron and Blood Chapter 64 The Beginning of the Military Career

As soon as Zong Ying waved his hand, he wanted to drink Chen Bing, Chen Bing held a grudge in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, thinking that when the old Bodhisattva calmed down Yan Yun and became the king of Yan, he would have the opportunity to repay this great humiliation in the future. Thinking of this, Chen Bing reluctantly bowed his hand and retreated.

"Humph! I don't know what to do with dogs! Zong Ying saw Chen Bing retreating, and after scolding, he smiled at Deng Yun and said, "This person is Captain Tong's minion, specially placed here to inquire about the situation in the army. Brothers, don't bother. ”

When Deng Yun heard this, he understood, bowed his head slightly, and thanked him: "Thank you to the young general for upholding justice for my teacher." ”

Zong Ying smiled indifferently and said very affectionately: "Hehe, I also learned marksmanship from the old-timers when I was young, and I have admired them for a long time, and I am also very angry when I hear about the grievances of the old-timers." If it weren't for the chaos at this time, my father would definitely find out and return the innocence of the old-timers! ”

"It's rare for an old general and a young general to have such a heart, and the mentor will be gratified if he knows it." With these few words, Deng Yun has a good impression of Zong Ying. Zong Ying also had a feeling of hating each other, and said in a low voice with Deng Yun: "Don't say these foreign words." It's not too early, but from this day on, we're brothers and sisters, and we're really happy in our hearts. And all of my soldiers want to get to know your brothers. Make arrangements for your men, and come to my tent tonight to have a feast and celebrate! I still have a lot to say to you! ”

When Deng Yun heard this, he and the brothers behind him looked at each other, and they were all happy, and they should respond. Zong Ying was very happy, so she went to order someone to prepare a banquet. Deng Yun and the other brothers took their men and horses back to the tent to settle down.

That night, in Zong Ying's tent. Zong Ying introduced the generals one by one, among which Deng Yun also saw Wang Geng, learned that his official position was Chengxinlang, and heard that the scar on his neck was left when he was fighting with a bandit leader, and he was promoted.

Immediately, Deng Yun, Xu Qing, Ji Qing, Huo Rui, Zhao Yun and other five people also introduced themselves. Everyone was a cheerful and proud person, and soon they became acquainted, ate and drank. During the banquet, there were a lot of exchanges. Deng Yun's brothers, although they are a little young, are all skilled, and Zong Ying's subordinates are all psychologically admired, and although they have high skills, they are not arrogant, and they are more interested in getting acquainted.

At this time, Zong Ying sighed and talked to Deng Yun about recent years, including mentioning Huang Confidential who Deng Yun wanted to ask secretly. It turned out that Huang Confidential sneaked into Kyoto, and with his extraordinary cleverness, he dressed up as a housekeeper and infiltrated Zong Ze's mansion, but he was almost recognized by Zong Ying. Later, under the introduction of Zong Ying, Huang Confidential finally met Zong Ze. Zong Ze was shocked and angry when he heard that Li Bin had an affair with Jin Ren, and saw that Huang Jian had an extraordinary conversation, excellent wisdom, and a heart to get acquainted. The three of them discussed the strategy, and Huang Jingjing said that Tong Guan, Cai Jing and other traitorous ministers had huge power in the DPRK and China, and it would be difficult to have miraculous results if they rashly exposed them. What's more, they have now become wanted criminals in the imperial court, so Pope Ze secretly went to see the official master to clarify the matter. Zong Ze said yes, and entered the palace that night, but returned with a feather. Zong Ying and Huang Confidential asked, only to know that the official master was repairing the strange stones in the imperial garden recently, and he was annoying, and ordered the queen to be sent down, and no one was seen until the imperial garden was repaired.

Soon after, it was suddenly reported that Zhou Tong assassinated Hengjie, secretly gathered a group of bandits in Daxing Mountain, and was killed by Li Bin. When the three of them heard this, they immediately panicked. Zong Ze didn't listen to Huang Jingyi's persuasion, and went to the court for several days to give direct advice, which finally provoked the official master to be furious, and demoted Zong Ze to the official, which made the people in the court panic. Zong Ze was also chilled because of this, and was ordered by the official master to go to Xiangzhou to rectify the soldiers and horses. Huang Confidential also came with him, and is now joining the ranks under Zong Ze.

When Deng Yun heard that Huang was under Zong Ze's subordinates, his heart sank, and he felt a little relieved, so he thanked him again: "I didn't expect the old general Zong Ze to be so righteous and be dragged down because of this. This great kindness, we and other apprentices must keep it in mind and come to repay it! ”

What did the brother say! In fact, my father has heard about your deeds and praised you, because you are a brother, Brother Huang once said some of the things you said to my father, which made my father very moved, and praised you as a genius. Now this is secretly accumulating power in Xiangzhou, also because of your words.

After that, my father had repeatedly persuaded the court to recruit peace, but now I am not in the same camp as my father, and I don't know how this matter is going. But if my father learns that you are here, he will be overjoyed and come to see you overnight!! ”

When Deng Yun heard this, he was even more grateful to the father and son of the Zong family in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "I am just a nobody, how dare I bother the old general to run around." Don't have a legend about the young general, you will have the opportunity to meet the old general in the future! ”

When Ji Qing and Huo Rui heard this, they couldn't help but show a little disappointment. Zong Ze is a famous general in the DPRK today, if he comes to meet him in person, what a majestic thing! Xu Qing was also steady, his expression sank, and he said in a condensed voice: "What the eldest brother said is very true. Now that we have just enlisted in the army, we have not made an inch, how dare we accept this great gift, if he can make meritorious achievements one day, and go to see each other again, it will not weaken the name of the teacher. ”

When Zong Ying heard this, she saw Deng Yun nodding with a smile, and she also laughed: "Hehe! Brother Xu is still thoughtful, okay! Let's talk less nonsense, let's have a drink, don't get drunk and don't go home!! ”

After Zong Ying's words, everyone in the tent raised their wine bowls, drank heartily, and cheered everywhere, while drinking, they each told their stories about serving the country and killing the enemy, and making a name for themselves.

However, he said that Deng Yun and his brothers had already enlisted in the army, and they were even appreciated by Zong Ying, the son of Zong Ze, and began their military careers. Zong Ying attached great importance to Deng Yun, and specially set aside a vacant lot in the camp, so that Deng Yun could lead his men and horses to practice there every day. The brothers under Deng Yun's command, as early as when they were in Fenglin Mountain, were configured according to the model of the army, so they were quickly integrated. On this day, Zong Ying came to inspect, and saw that Deng Yun's subordinates were full of spirit, and the method of training soldiers was much harder and more difficult than in the army, and he was secretly surprised, thinking that if these soldiers and horses continued to practice like this, and then after the tempering of the war, wouldn't they become an invincible army that won all battles!

Later, as soon as Zong Ying inquired, she knew that most of the methods of military training were come up by Deng Yun, and she admired it, so she asked Deng Yun for it. Deng Yun does not hide his selfishness, he teaches generously, and he will tell Zong Ying that this set of training methods is very difficult and harsh, and it is difficult for many people to adhere to it at the beginning, and do not press too much, step by step, once the days pass, over time, you can slowly get used to it. What Deng Yun said was extremely incisive, and there was a great hidden truth, of course, this was taught by his teacher. When Zong Ying heard this, she was shocked in her heart, but she kept it in mind, and after thanking Deng Yun for the kindness of her teachings, she left in a hurry, and seemed to have begun to think about how to implement it.

On the other side, the Chen soldiers had nowhere to beg for themselves since that day, and their face was lost, and it was spread out, although everyone in the camp did not dare to laugh in person, but they were all happy in secret. In the past few days, Chen Bing felt uncomfortable, the soldiers in the battalion began to look down on him, and often heard people praise Deng Yun's elite soldiers and horses for being good at fighting, and the captains were officers with high skills, and their hearts were suddenly filled with jealousy, thinking about how to deal with Deng Yun's thorns in his eyes.

Let's say that in the southeast plain of the camp, a group of horse thieves gathered, often raiding houses and houses, forcibly robbing people's daughters, and doing all kinds of evil. But because the four brothers of the thief have some skills, and they also have fornications with the government and give a lot of silver, the government is also open-eyed and closed-eyed. The nearby people were tormented and came to find Zong Ying and told him about it. When Zong Ying heard this, he thought that there were not many soldiers in the army who were good at horse warfare, and there were also good horses in the camp, and there were only more than 60 horses brought by Deng Yun, but there were hundreds of horse thieves, and they often appeared in the plains, and they could not be dealt with unless they were cavalry.

When Zong Ying saw these people coming to find them, either their daughters were robbed, or their family's money was looted, and some of them even burned down their houses, and most of the family was killed. Zong Ying hated these horse thieves very much in her heart, so she first agreed to come down, and then thought of a plan, and then ordered the soldiers to take them to the camp to settle down first.

At noon on this day, Deng Yun was practicing cavalry and archery, leading the captains of all sizes to familiarize themselves with it first. I saw that Deng Yun galloped wildly, pulling the bow while aiming, and there was a sudden sound on the ground, the strings moved and the arrows were fired, and a galloping shadow galloped away, hitting the red heart. Everyone applauded when they saw this, but Deng Yun had a stern face, teaching the essentials of riding and shooting. Deng Yun remembered that Zhou Tong said before he died, saying that the golden man is good at horses, and only a team that practices a team of good arrows can overcome it. Later, Deng Yun thought about it carefully, the cavalry rushed fast, the attack came and went like the wind, and once it advanced, it would be turned upside down, so it could often determine the outcome of the battle. With arrows far away, the cavalry rushes quickly, and if they are shot by arrows, they must be killed on the spot, which is indeed good, but once ordinary archers are approached, their melee ability is too weak, which is equivalent to being slaughtered. And once the cavalry found out, they could avoid it and leave, and the archers could not catch up with their legs. If you can train a cavalry that is good at arrows, wouldn't it be able to make up for all the shortcomings! Although it is extremely difficult, Deng Yun believes that as long as he takes one step at a time, one day he will be able to create an invincible army that is good at arrows and good at riding, and kill those golden people to the point of fear!

Let's say that everyone was practicing, and suddenly there was a cry not far away. Huo Rui's ears were the most sharp, and he couldn't help but be distracted, and the arrow of 'snap' actually missed the target. Deng Yun frowned, and immediately glared at Huo Rui fiercely, so frightened that Huo Rui hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly. But I don't want to, Deng Yun's demeanor is very similar to Zhou Tong back then. Xu Qing and Ji Qing glanced at each other silently, with infinite melancholy in their hearts.

"Hey, the people are in the camp?" The squad leader muttered, and suddenly screamed. Deng Yun immediately looked over, and saw that the people all looked sad, their clothes were tattered, and many of them had blood stains, thinking that they must have been bullied by bullies and thieves, his face couldn't help but change, and he shouted angrily: "Lang Lang Qiankun! In broad daylight, who is bullying the people is really hateful!! As soon as Deng Yun's words fell, Xu Qing and others echoed one after another, and they were all angry. At this moment, Wang Geng rode his horse and rushed over, saw Deng Yun, looked overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Deng, the young general is invited!" ”

When Deng Yun heard this, his face was shocked, so he gave Xu Qing a look, taught him to lead the brothers to continue the practice, and then rushed to Wang Gengwang Zongying's tent.

After a while, when Deng Yun and Wang Geng came to the tent, the other generals were all together. Zong Ying nodded to Deng Yun and asked him to take a seat. Deng Yun sat in the third position on the right seat, although Wang Geng's official position was low, he was a veteran in the army, so Zong Ying also invited him to discuss and sat at the tail seat.
