The first available person was called Hu Li, who was originally the commander of the 25th Regiment. However, the reason why he was a deserter was not because he was afraid of fighting, but because the officials and subordinates were unfair and gave his credit to others. This Hu Li was originally
The arrow formation was very long, and he was also the best archer in the archery formation. However, his direct captain gave all the credit to himself, and regarding Hu Li's performance on the battlefield, they only hurriedly recorded the number of wounded people who helped him kill the enemy.
At first, Hu Li felt that it was the captain who promoted him, and that he had taken the credit away from him, so he should repay him. But who would have thought that the more humble he was, the more serious the captain would become.
After taking his credit several times, the captain became the colonel, but he was still a very good leader. Hu Li received neither reward nor promotion, so he had a big quarrel with the colonel and asked the captain of Gongzhen for comment.
Naturally, the captain of the school favored the captain. Hu Li was thrown into a military prison for offending his superiors and asked him to reflect on himself. It happened that someone in the military prison was clamoring for a prison escape that day, so Hu Li escaped from prison together with everyone.
"Do you know what will happen to those who clamor for prison escape?"
"What's the end result? Could it be that his head was shown to the public?"
"Shit! That man turned around and complained to the guards. We were all caught when we escaped, but not only was he reinstated, but he was also promoted not long after." Hu Li mentioned this matter with a grudge.
Zhang Xiaowu had more contact with him and found that his biggest shortcoming was that he was outspoken. He was so careless that he dared to ridicule anyone's shortcomings. He even cursed Cheng Chu, the leader of the sixth regiment, as a rat, and said that the crown prince was just an adult wearing diapers.
, saying that Li Cunyi is the best in the world in martial arts but also the most stupid in the world.
Another talent was named Zu Gongmao. The reason why this person fled was that he suddenly received a letter from home.
Zu Gongmao is a branch of the ancestral family in Youzhou. Zu Gongmao's father gave birth to eight sons. Each son became independent when he grew up. Most of them had ordinary families. Zu Gongmao was the fifth in the family. He was the son of a concubine, and his status in the family was not high.
Gao, when he was divided into households, he only got a few acres of thin farmland, so his grandfather Mao used his free time to farm and hunt down thieves for the local soldiers, and he was quite famous in Youzhou.
Grandfather Mao married Wu, a peasant girl. After his eldest son died in infancy, he gave birth to a pair of twin daughters. Although the family of four was not rich, they lived well. In the Battle of Saibei, the ancestor's family needed three sons, and the brothers drew lots.
Zu Gongmao was selected for exile. Because Zu Gongmao had served as a rural soldier and had paid off bandits, he was recommended by everyone as a corps commander when he left Youzhou. After leaving Lianglang Pass last year, Zu Gongmao was reused as a captain to help train the army.
A few months ago, he was promoted to captain for leading his team in an ambush and killing fifty dog barbarian scouts.
Seeing a bright future ahead of him, Zu Gongmao suddenly received a letter from home. It turned out that after two of his clansmen died on the battlefield, the clansmen thought that he had also died in the battle in Saibei. It happened that the county magistrate was re-measurement of the land, and some clansmen thought he had died in the battle.
The concubine gave birth to a son and the land was taken back. The Wu family made a fuss in the ancestral hall, but the patriarch favored the eldest family member and kicked the Wu family out of the ancestral hall. The Wu family sold the property in anger and went to Saibei with only a pair of daughters to find her husband.
Zu Gongmao said: "My wife said that if I die in the battle, she should take her two daughters and jump off a cliff to avoid being bullied again."
When Zhang Xiaowu heard his wife's story, he thought of his own wife Yin Jiu'er, both of whom were fierce women. He patted his shoulder with empathy and said: "I will definitely help you find your wife and daughter, but you don't want to be a fugitive anymore."
, if you are caught again, you will definitely be killed without mercy, your wife and daughter will be buried for you, how unjust it is."
Zu Gongmao said decisively: "I would like to commit a serious crime that will implicate the nine clans and let all the ancestors be buried with them."
Zhang Xiaowu knew that the anger in his heart was raging, and this anger also brought about a surge in combat effectiveness. Zu Gongmao was able to stand out among the crowd because of his aura of disregarding death. In every battle, he almost died together with the enemy. This kind of injury
No one dared to provoke him here due to his desperate drive to defeat one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself.
After Zhang Xiaowu tested them, he recognized their abilities and character. Hu Li just couldn't control his mouth and liked to talk taunting people, so he often offended his colleagues in the army. Zu Gongmao had a strong and resolute personality.
Making a decision without looking back is a straight person.
Zhang Xiaowu subsequently appointed Zu Gongmao as the commander-in-chief of the former capital team, and Hu Li as the commander-in-chief of the Zhongdu team. However, soon after the captain Jin Feng took the initiative to transfer to other battalions, Zhang Xiaowu officially appointed Hu Li as the captain of the Zhongdu team and Chen Guanxi as the commander-in-chief.
, learn from Hu Li about marching and formation, etc.
Some. When the partnership between Hu Li and Chen Guanxi was interesting, he was a talker and a boring gourd. He saw Hu Li chatting and talking to Chen Guanxi all day long. Chen Guanxi just nodded his head. As for whether he understood or not learned well,
No one knows.
Although in Zhang Xiaowu's mind, Zhao Suo's temperament was more suitable for leading an army than Chen Guanxi, Zhao Suo could not hold his breath and was too impatient. He trained the soldiers with whippings or caning at worst, which aroused the disgust of the sergeants, so Chen Guanxi preceded him.
Zhao Suo was promoted.
Zhao Suo was dissatisfied, but he spoke directly. Zhang Xiaowu pointed out his shortcomings and asked: If you can learn one-tenth of Lu Meng's skills, you will benefit a lot in the future." He also specially gave him three military books, "
Sun Tzu's "Art of War", "Thirty-six Stratagems" and "General's Theory", this "General's Theory" was written by the founding general of this dynasty.
Zhao Suo also realized the gap between himself and others, so he settled down and studied various military tactics seriously, and he was actually very motivated.
Hu Sanwan recommended another person to Zhang Xiaowu. This person's name was Shen Lindong, a former captain of the Fourth Regiment. Logically speaking, it was impossible for a captain officer to be a fugitive. Hu Sanwan inquired and learned that although Shen Lindong was escorted together with the fugitives,
When he arrived at the Epidemic Village, he was a prisoner.
When he was in the Fourth Regiment, he often had conflicts with his superior, the captain, and even beat Shangguan many times. If he had an elder brother like Li Cunyi, he would naturally be protected, but Shen Lindong was born as a commoner, and he would naturally be suppressed and ostracized if he contradicted his superior.
In Shen Lindong's words, he couldn't stand the officials' flattery and lack of military force, which led to the fatigue of the troops. He threatened that the fourth regiment was all made of silver-like pewter gun heads and could not be reused. If it went to the battlefield, let alone defeat the enemy, if it could
If we don't drag down our army with chaotic formations, it will be considered a good thing.
Although this man was highly skilled in martial arts, he still had an unruly personality. He once beat twenty-eight people in the ring without stopping. In the end, no one was willing to fight him. Zhang Xiaowu thought that if he could fight with Shen Lindong, if it was a matter of life or death,
He can even defeat this person, but he can win twenty-eight games in a row, but he doesn't have the endurance and physical strength.
Zhang Xiaowu tried to win over Shen Lindong, but Shen Lindong refused. He even bluntly said that unless he was asked to be a captain, he would rather be a soldier.
The reason why Shen Lindong rejected Zhang Xiaowu was because he had conquered many people after coming to the Epidemic Village. He even had a group of little brothers who were willing to follow him, and his heart suddenly swelled. Shen Lindong had never fought with Zhang Xiaowu, although he came to
After the epidemic, I heard that Zhang Xiaowu was the first brave general of the Sixth Regiment, but I was very disdainful. Especially Zhang Xiaowu, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Although he had grown a full beard to frighten the soldiers, he still looked young.
very.
Shen Lindong even felt that instead of leaving himself in the hands of a young general, it was better to control his own destiny, so as not to kill Pao Ze when he encountered a Shangguan who was not knowledgeable in military matters.
After being rejected by Shen Lindong, Zhang Xiaowu no longer forced himself. This man was a fierce horse, and he was not in a hurry to conquer him.
