Lei Yuan also saw several familiar ones among the soldiers and couldn't help but breathe.
Hurry up and finally catch up.
They were soldiers recruited from Zigui County, and this group set out from Yiling five days ago to return home.
Lei Yuan's troops fought in Shu for more than seven months, and for a considerable period of time, they left the lonely army from the rear. This situation greatly weakened his control over Yidu County and lost the supervision of the prefect who was close to him. The collusion between officials and the rich clan caused many unbearable things.
But in contrast, his control over the army and the army was strengthened to an unprecedented level.
During the expedition, Lei Yuan's mission was very heavy. He had to repeatedly declare military discipline and strictly govern the army, and he also did his best to ensure the supply of soldiers and military merit rewards. More often, as the chief general of the entire army, he had to take his own example, with ordinary food and clothing, and go deep into the army every day to comfort the soldiers, and even visit the wounded and sick, bring tea and medicine.
He was immersed in the military camp for a long time, spending time with the soldiers. After more than seven months, he could almost call out the names of most soldiers, and for those with a little talent, he could tell what achievements they had made, what battles they had fought, and even talk about some specialties and celebrities in their hometown.
He is familiar with the soldiers, and so is the soldiers.
At this moment, as Lei Yuan led the cavalry team to approach, the soldiers not only cheered, but also shouted boldly: "General Lei, does your butt still hurt?"
Previously, Lei Yuan took medicine and pretended to be sick in order to paralyze the Jiangzhou garrison, but he took more. At that time, the chief Ma Zhong invited civil and military officials to the city of Jiangzhou and gave them laxatives. So Lei Yuan and the guards continued to have diarrhea. Lei Yuan once complained that his butt had hurt for several days.
This incident later spread in the army, and the soldiers all laughed and said that it was a shit that trapped Jiangzhou.
When in the army, the generals had their own majesty, and the soldiers only dared to pass on their backs and did not easily explain it to the public. At this time, the war had ended successfully and the soldiers were on vacation. Seeing Lei Yuan also wearing casual clothes, he would inevitably be more courageous.
Hearing these words, Lei Yuanle ceased to fight and stared at them fiercely.
Several of the fastest soldiers immediately looked dull.
The next moment, Lei Yuan put away his usual elegant posture and smiled rudely: "I don't feel any more! Do you feel pain? Whoever wants it to hurt, can I help!"
The soldiers burst into laughter.
A young man who was about 40 years old and had a stubble turned around and returned to the queue. He grabbed a young man and punched him a few times in a fake way: "General, it's this boy who spoke nonsense! I've taught him a lesson!"
Lei Yuan turned over and got off the horse, grabbed the young man's clothes, and said viciously: "Chen De, Chen De, have you become brave enough for a few months in the army? How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?"
The young man named Chen De put his toes on the ground and smiled and replied loudly: "Report to General, I... I am so old now. There are ten enemies I have killed with my own hands! So I am a little braver!"
"Ahhh! What's so good?" Lei Yuan pushed him away half a step and looked up and down.
Chen De was one of the local soldiers of Yidu County who performed outstandingly during his entry into Shu. He was Lei Cheng's subordinate. He beheaded several times in the pursuit of the defeated troops of Xu Huang's troops. Later, he participated in the raid of Jiangzhou and saved Lei Cheng's life in a fierce battle with Ma Chao's troops.
Lei Yuan remembered that when he met him a few months ago, he was a little stupid. Now he looked neat and his spirit was completely different.
Lei Yuan patted his shoulder: "Your lieutenant has made a document and plans to promote you to be Du's. I have agreed!"
Before Chen De could react, the other soldiers made a fuss and asked Chen De to drink. Although the journey was hard, the group of people shouted, as if they were not tired at all. Even the roar of the river water passing through the continuous stone beams could not cover up their laughter.
Lei Yuan turned to the old man whom the general Chen De caught: "Are you Wen Si?"
The old soldier was named Wen Si. He was a son of the Shuzong clan outside the fifth troupe of the Wen family in Zigui. He was born in the county soldiers of Zigui County. His legs and feet were a little inconvenient, but he had some experience in the battlefield. When he was young, he participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Mancheng, and later fought with Zhang Xian and Sun Jian under Liu Jingsheng's subordinates. With this experience, he had a great status among the soldiers in Zigui County.
"It's the villain."
"What's wrong with you? Why are you missing a piece of your ear? Have you never fought a war in the past two months?"
Wen Si rubbed his hands and said a little ashamed: "I didn't match up with the army a few days ago and was bitten by a rat."
"Haha..." Lei Yuan shook his head: "I remembered that, the person who bit you was beaten twenty sticks. You are too irritable, otherwise it would be better for Du Bo, so why do you think you are old and you are still a good person?"
Wen Si grinned and suddenly asked, "General, are you okay in Zigui?"
Lei Yuan glanced at the other soldiers who were still making noise: "How do you know?"
"Although the general is joking, the entourages behind him carry weapons and armor with them, and all their faces are full of murderous aura..." Wen Si narrowed his eyes and looked at Lei Yuan: "The general himself also has murderous aura."
Lei Yuan nodded slightly: "That's right. I want to go into the county town to kill people."
Wen Si patted the scabbard on his waist: "General, do you need our help?"
"Are you sure? Do you know who I am going to kill? You can do it?"
"There is no need to know. If the general wants us to kill, we will kill whoever we want us to kill." Wen Si did not hesitate.
"Then prepare the brothers."
"As for your order!" Wen Si replied loudly, then turned around to summon his companions.
Li Zhen walked behind Lei Yuan and whispered: "General, several of these soldiers are related to Wen and Deng... Are they trustworthy?"
"It's about it."
In the afternoon of that day, everyone rushed another ten miles away. When they walked around a Tuowan by the river, they saw the Zigui County town with a varied height and a varied height.
Because of the cold weather, there were almost no pedestrians on the road outside the city. Lei Yuan and others approached the city gate and alarmed the county soldiers stationed in the city.
In this county town that was actually controlled by the powerful, the elite troops were all in the powerful. The county soldiers looked like mobs. Lei Yuan looked at more than a dozen people walking out of the door, saying they were soldiers, and they didn't even have uniform outfits, and they didn't have any weapons they wanted. There was only one person who looked like the leader, and had a more decent ring-headed knife hanging around his waist.
"Who are you? Where do you come from? Do you have any certificates for talisman transmission?" he asked.
In front of him were dozens of soldiers with full well-armed armed forces, and nearly half of them were riding horses. They were all fierce and mighty and imposing. The county soldiers' leaders were not sure where they came from and were a little vigilant, so that when they were talking, their hands were pressed on the hilt of the knife. Lei Yuan noticed that there were a few people standing beside the bells and drums above the city wall, looking down nervously, and showing a warning at any time.
Lei Yuan rode his horse out and went out: "I am General Fenwei, the prefect of Lujiang Lei Yuan. Do you recognize me?"
About ten days ago, Lei Yuan led a large army to pass by Zigui. At that time, the county soldiers were maintaining order on the street and met the young general. He recognized that this was Lei Yuan.
He was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at his companion behind him.
Wen Si walked two steps from the side and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't do stupid things!"
The county soldier leader looked at Wen Si and immediately recognized the old qualification among the local county soldier. It seemed that he had returned safely for several months and was in a good spirit. He murmured in a low voice: "Wen Si, you are so majestic."
Lei Yuan rode his horse forward a few steps, stood beside the county soldier leader, and took out the talisman from his arms: "It is your responsibility to check the pedestrians, so don't mind it."
The county soldier leader took the talisman, but only held it in his hand, and was at a loss.
At the same time, the soldiers behind Lei Yuan quickly entered the city and surrounded the county soldiers. However, because both sides had acquaintances to recognize each other, they were not at a slight strife.
Chen Dezheng walked past the county soldiers' leader and saw his son like this, and quickly stood up and said to Lei Yuan: "General, this is my father Chen Nan. He is very prestigious among the local county soldiers. It will be very useful to let him follow us!"
"You are Chen De's clan father and Wen Si's old friend, right? I also heard Wen Si say that you are a loyal, brave and reliable person, and you are very familiar with the local situation." Lei Yuan said in a gentle voice: "Since that's the case, you should know why I came to Zigui."
Chen Nan gritted his teeth: "General, Wen and Deng are both prominent families in our county, we are really..."
Lei Yuan interrupted his words: "Since I'm here, there's nothing I can't solve. As for the others, it's not too late to make up for the loss of the sheep."
Chen Nan looked at Lei Yuan, Chen De, and then looked at Wen Si who had walked into the city, and sighed.
