Chapter 232: Desert March (2)
Updated: 2013-04-16
When the strict orders were strictly ordered to not comply with the drinking water regulations, they would be killed when drinking water collectively. After repeated adjustments, each soldier had his own drinking water bag, which limited the number of drinking water. Although these soldiers violated the regulations, they did not affect others. Rarely killing would affect the morale of the army.
However, killing them is the best choice. Only by killing the chicken can the monkeys below follow the rules and develop awe of military orders.
Seeing Jia Rong frowned, Jiang Yu stepped forward and advised, "General, although these soldiers did not abide by the rules, they should spare them this time because they have made contributions to our army."
After biting his lip, Jia Rong said slowly, "The death penalty is avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. Since you have finished drinking the water, you should not drink it when other soldiers drink water in the future. Wait until the next time you get water. If you die of thirst, you cannot blame others."
Although Jia Rong did not want to break the rules because of this. If a precedent was set, how could the army continue to operate?
"Thank you, General!" The three soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The two soldiers from Ma Teng's army may not feel anything, but the soldiers from the former Xiliang Army were not. Jia Rong's army management has always only looked at what he was doing and not who he was. It is not easy to be able to open one side this time.
Jia Rong said lightly: "Don't thank me. During this period, you can't blame others if you die of thirst."
The three soldiers should be.
After going through repeated tribulations with these soldiers, Jia Rong was really reluctant to kill them. Everyone knew the truth that Ci was not in charge of the soldiers. But if he really did it, not everyone could do it. However, in the desert, losing water actually means losing life. Cutting off the water source will only make their lives gradually pass away, which is no different from killing them.
After saying just a few words, Jia Rong felt dry mouth, dizzy, and calmed his mind. Jia Rong walked into the middle of the team again and led the army to continue moving forward.
Seeing that Jia Rong's face looked ugly, Wei Fu said softly: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Jia Rong said: "Three soldiers have finished drinking the water."
Wei Fu said anxiously: "What should I do? Why don't I give them a bag? The weather is so hot." Even though I was resting during the day, I still couldn't stand it without water.
Speaking of this, Jia Rong regained his calm side and said slowly: "Don't do this, don't forget that we are a whole. If we are tolerant of a subordinate doing this, how can we convince everyone.
, So how can others be afraid of military orders? Fu'er must remember that the leader is most afraid of unfair things."
Wei Fu pouted and said, "I just mentioned it, but I didn't say anything. It depends on your fierceness."
Jia Rong said angrily: "Fu'er, it's me wrong. Don't be angry. How about I tell you a joke later."
Wei Fu smiled.
The relationship between the two is developing day by day. Jia Rong has always been a rookie who has never been in love. He only has a few tricks to coax the little girl, but it is enough to deal with it. Every time he can make Wei Fu smile.
The IQ of men and women in love is not optimistic. This sentence applies to any era. Often, due to a mentally retarded problem, the two can argue for a long time, but in the end, Jia Rong was defeated. Jia Rong's spoiled Wei Fu to a very deep level. From losing to possessing again, the depth of that kind of relationship cannot be measured.
It was time to drink water again. Many soldiers just took a sip of water and stopped drinking it. This is how the Chinese people are, always thinking about saving the best things for the end to enjoy.
Jia Rong moved to the three soldiers who had finished drinking water, handed the water bag in his hand forward and said, "You drink it."
The three of them all had a stagnation, and I wonder what Jia Rong meant.
Always unable to resist the desire for water in his heart, the two soldiers of Ma Teng's troops swallowed hard, took the water bag, and each of them took a sip carefully. After that, they smacked their lips as if they were tasting, and rolled the water stains left on their lips into their mouths.
The soldiers from Xiliang headquarters hesitated for a moment and said, "General, I..."
Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "Drink, you're welcome, they're all brothers."
The brothers expressed their endless feelings, and the soldier's eyes were a little red. He just put the water bag on his mouth and moistened it for a moment, and then handed it to Jia Rong.
After taking the water bag, Jia Rong ordered: "Continue to rush the road. The guide said that we have already walked halfway, so everyone should work harder."
Jiang Yu on the side said, "General, you haven't drunk it yet."
Jia Rong shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty, hurry up."
How could you not be thirsty in the hot desert? Jia Rong said this just to save water.
Thinking about their water source just now, the three soldiers knelt on the ground in great shame. The original soldiers of the Xiliang Army could no longer stop tears and they were flowing down. I don’t know if it was regret or emotion.
Jia Rong patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "Men don't cry easily. Besides, if you cry like this, you will cry out the water you just drank."
The joke was too cold, and the soldier couldn't help but burst out laughing, mixed with tears on his face, no difference from a child of a few years.
Jia Rong raised his voice and said, "Any one of you is my brother. I don't want you to be buried in the vast desert. The most important thing is to go out alive, do you understand?"
"Zhao Ying's life will be the general in the future. Whether it is going to the sword mountain or the sea of fire, the villain will never frown." The soldier leaned down at Jia Rong's feet and said firmly.
Seeing this, the other two soldiers from Ma Teng's troops also bowed: "See the general to the death!"
Jia Rong did not expect that a few sips of water would be exchanged for the three soldiers' swearing to follow him to the death. He was really a loss of loyalty.
He helped the three of them up one by one, Jia Rong said: "In the army, both generals and soldiers are treated equally. Like you, I have so much water."
Jia Rong's words not only won the gratitude of the three soldiers, but also hung the hearts of the other soldiers tightly on Jia Rong, winning the favor of all the soldiers. From the words, they could feel Jia Rong's sincerity.
"We have all rushed through the enemy's arrows, rain, guns, forests. Can't even conquer the small desert? Take out your courage and let the desert tremble under our feet." Jia Rong said passionately.
Jia Rong's words made the team's morale rise, and the endless yellow sand in front of him was no longer so terrible.
The next journey, whether it was cold or hot, all the soldiers cooperated surprisingly and worked hard. The entire team did not face the fear of unknown death. Instead, it gave people a sense of joy and reorganized the army.
With the help of the other soldiers, the three soldiers who had finished drinking water survived tenaciously, and the unity of the team was unprecedentedly close through this incident.
There is not much water left in the army, and on average, each person only has half a bag of water. The evaporation of hot weather and the drinking of soldiers, the water storage volume drops as fast as possible. Most of the water is not drunk by soldiers, but is emitting in the hot air.
No matter how critical the situation is, Jia Rong always gives people a calm feeling. The near-depletion of water storage means that the entire team is about to enter a desperate situation. However, Jia Rong replied to Jiang Yu who came to report the situation and said a faint sentence, "I understand, keep rushing."
Jiang Yu felt more and more that Jia Rong was unfathomable. Looking at Jia Rong's calm appearance, Jiang Yu felt relieved for no reason.
Even when sleeping during the day, it was still unbearable. Many soldiers were lying naked in the desert and were still extremely hot. One soldier found it cooler to get into the sand to relieve the situation.
It has to be said that the difficulty of traveling through the desert was beyond Jia Rong's imagination. Thinking of burying himself in the desert, Jia Rong felt a strong sense of reluctance. After working hard for many years, would he surrender to the small desert? What's more, there is a woman like Wei Fu following her, so you can't lose.
"How far is it?" Jia Rong's tone was a little anxious.
Zhang Wu bowed and said, "General, I have just left half of it."
Jia Rong said lightly, "Oh" and asked, "Then are there lakes ahead?" It is said that there will definitely be oasis in such a large desert.
Zhang Wu said: "Yes, if it weren't for this lake, all of us would have died in this desert."
Jia Rong sighed and said happily, "How far is it from here?" As long as there is water to supplement it, the biggest problem will be solved. All the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are tenacious people. Some suffering is nothing. What they fear most is the threat from life. Without life, what can they do if they can endure hardships.
The amount of water the soldiers drank was limited to a very small range. In the past, they could drink three times at the same time and were shrunk to only drink twice. Jia Rong set an example and the soldiers under his command gritted their teeth and persevered without complaints. Even Ma Teng's family and weak women like Wei Fu could persevere. What qualifications do they have to complain?
Five days later, the water source in the army had been exhausted, and everyone, including Jia Rong, was dragging their tired bodies forward with a tenacious will.
A touch of green came into Jia Rong's eyes, and his listless eyes instantly turned into a bright light. Green means that it is not far from the water.
Not only did Jia Rong find something strange not far away, but many soldiers also saw it. Without Jia Rong's motivation, the speed of the march suddenly increased by more than three times.
When I walked in, the soldier was disappointed. It was just a plant covered with thorns. I saw it when I first entered the desert.
Jia Rong looked happy. Cactus growing in this area, and cactus of all sizes were formed into a unique green in the desert, dotted with yellow sand all over the ground.
Pulling out the sword at his waist, Jia Rong walked to the side of a cactus, carefully inserted the green sword into the sand, dug out the cactus to the greatest extent, peeled off the spikes on it, and after peeling it, crystal clear flesh appeared inside.
The new week has begun. Let’s work together to push the Iron Cavalry upwards! I wish you a good mood every day!
Chapter completed!
