Chapter 127 Competition
The war in Yunzhong County has stopped for a while, and the army led by Loudan and Siloo will take at least seven or eight days, or even more than ten days to reach it, so I won't say it for the time being.
His eyes returned to the depths of the grassland, and among the broken tribes that Zhao Yun and others repaired.
After resting for three days, the soldiers' mental state and physical state have returned to their peak.
After more than a month of long-distance raids, high-intensity fatigue and multiple battles, these cavalry have completely changed.
No matter how nervous they were when they were just sending troops, they all had confident smiles on their faces, because Zhao Yun told them that at this moment they were definitely considered elite soldiers!
Although thousands of people were lost, this cavalry has stronger combat power and higher cohesion. The battlefield is definitely the place that can sharpen people the most!
"Little Five, come here, it's time to grow up and eat the lamb leg."
Zhao Yun smiled and summoned a soldier, a young man who was only eighteen years old.
Although it has reached this era, Zhao Yun's concept has not changed much. He still believes that he is not considered an adult under the age of eighteen!
If Gao Shun hadn't been negligent at the beginning, he would never have taken Xiao Wuzi into the army. There was nothing he could do. This guy looked a little anxious. He was only fifteen years old at that time, and he looked almost twenty years old.
Later, it was too late to find out his specific age, because he is now eighteen.
The little fifth son was not polite, and reached out to grab the lamb leg and bite a large piece of meat, and smiled and said, "Thank you, General!"
"sit."
Zhao Yun was sitting on the grass, so he patted the ground beside him and asked him to sit down too.
Then he asked, "I haven't asked you before, why did you come to join the army at the age of fifteen? Where are your parents?"
Xiaowuzi's face collapsed immediately, holding the leg of lamb in his hand and didn't eat it, but lowered his head and said, "Dad said, not long after I was born, I encountered a natural disaster. I had no food at home, so he went up the mountain to hunt. But once he went there for five days and didn't come back. At that time, I was only six months old and my mother had no milk, so she cut her fingers and fed her blood to me. When my father came home, my mother had just died and the body was warm..."
Zhao Yun's heart trembled, tears were about to burst out from his eyes. He quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a long time of rest, he could not hold back his tears.
Although Xiaowuzi said it lightly, he could imagine that scene.
There was no food at home, and my father went out to hunt for five days and didn't go home.
How worried should he be? Could it be that he was buried under the mouth of an animal?
Looking at the hungry child, but because he was malnourished, he was hungry and had no milk, so he cut his fingers and fed them with blood!
Maternal love is great. Zhao Yun has heard this sentence since he was a child. Until he grew up, he was always kept on his lips!
But how many people really understand how great maternal love is?
But compared to this, Xiao Wuzi was still lucky.
He was an orphan in his previous life, and he only had a brother who had no feelings for him in his life.
He and Zhao Feng are destined to be people from two worlds. Although Zhao Feng is his own brother, it is really difficult for Zhao Yun to regard him as his own brother.
He still felt that he was a lonely man, even with Li Shilan, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang.
After all, his soul does not actually belong here!
From the beginning of his memory, he had no memory of everything about his parents in the orphanage.
So, Xiao Wuzi is actually luckier than him. At least he also knows that he has a mother who has used his life to continue his life!
"What about your father?" Zhao Yun asked again.
Xiaowuzi smiled reluctantly, and this smile made Zhao Yun feel a little distressed. He said, "My father was invaded and killed by the Xianbei when I was ten years old. My father hid me under the wooden board, and he sat on the wooden board. The Xianbei killed him, but he didn't see me, so he escaped. Since then, I have lived secretly in the city, just like a mouse, everyone shouted and beat him!"
Zhao Yun was silent and was in a heavy mood.
In fact, in his opinion, the experience of Xiao Wuzi cannot be said to be so miserable. It is not that it is not miserable enough, but that he has seen it and heard too much miserable, and is a little numb!
Only his mother feeds him blood to make him feel a little moved.
The reason why he was in a heavy mood was because Zhao Yun knew that in this era, there were many people like Xiao Wuzi who had a tragic fate!
But Xiaowuzi was more cheerful than him. He talked about his sad past and was depressed for a while. Another cheerful big boy smiled and said, "So, when the general recruited troops, I was really happy. Because I saw hope, the general is very powerful and can take us to kill the Xianbei people! I can take me to avenge my father. General, I have already killed two Xianbei cavalry!"
Zhao Yun nodded, patted his shoulder and said, "Stay working hard and let your father and mother see, their son is not a coward!"
Xiaowuzi asked: "Can they see it?"
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "It's almost dark, and the starry sky on the grassland is the brightest. When I was a child, I heard people say that after a person dies, it will become stars in the sky! If you miss your father and your mother in the future, then look up at the starry sky. The two brightest stars in the sky are your parents!"
Xiaowuzi widened his eyes and asked excitedly: "General, is what you said... true?"
Of course it is fake, it is just a sustenance for people to miss.
Zhao Yun himself did not believe this, but he said it today, and at this moment, he did not want to expose himself.
"Of course it's true. General, when did I deceive you?"
The little fifth son was overjoyed, "Thank you, General!"
After saying that, the kid ran away.
Therefore, in the years that followed, Zhao Yun often saw him sitting alone under the starry sky, smiling on his face, comfortable and comfortable, and talking to himself softly...
Zhao Yun stood up, looked at the grassland under the setting sun, watched the soldiers who were wandering around or lying flat, and gathered in groups of three or two to eat and laugh. For a moment, he suddenly felt that such a life was actually nothing wrong.
He has never been a person who likes to sigh, but perhaps the conversation with Xiaowuzi today touched a point in his heart, making him a little sad.
He didn't want this because he was the backbone of this army and his emotions could affect everyone.
So he shouted loudly: "Huang Zhong!"
Huang Zhong, who was not far away, came over immediately when he heard the call and asked, "Lord, what's the matter?"
Zhao Yun said: "We're going to set off tomorrow. I think these little kids are resting well. Tonight, we'll have a martial arts competition!"
"Martial Arts Competition?" Huang Zhong was stunned, "What martial arts competition?"
Zhao Yun: "It is to let the soldiers compete in martial arts, whether it is horse war, infantry war or archery, and let them choose ten people out of the list in each formation to conduct the competition. Finally, the ten winners are selected, and I will give them the position of centurion, reward ten gold, and give one BMW!"
Huang Zhong almost immediately understood Zhao Yun's intentions.
I went deep into the grassland alone and didn’t know when I could return home. Everything on the grassland was arguably possible. I even don’t know how many more than 1,500 people would be left in the end?
The soldiers followed Zhao Yun out, not only leaving their hometown, but also fighting to the death!
They need constant encouragement and motivation, and in this way, they can undoubtedly mobilize the morale and enthusiasm of the soldiers.
The benefits are extremely great!
He nodded immediately: "I'll call up the soldiers now!"
