The next day, the Dead Soldiers Camp had dug a horse trap overnight and prepared bows, arrows and kerosene, just waiting for the Xiaoqi Battalion to attack. Since Zhang Xiaowu was framed last time, the Dead Soldiers Camp has had a tradition, no matter what happens afterwards
Zhao Suo was punished for his recklessness, but at this time they had to unite to deal with the outside world. All the soldiers were on the alert and could not help but feel grateful that they had dug out the moat of the epidemic village and built a one-and-a-half-foot protective wall with rammed earth and smoke stones.
Zhang Xiaowu stood on the protective wall and looked into the distance. The captains around him were guessing when the Xiaoqi camp would arrive, but from a distance they only saw a personal entourage from the General's Mansion arriving. It was Cheng Chu who wanted Zhang Xiaowu to go to the General's Mansion to admit his mistakes and punishment.
Zhang Xiaowu was deeply suspicious. He was almost killed last time when he went to the General's Mansion. Now if he offended Li Cunyuan, he was afraid of being killed on the way. The attendant smiled bitterly and said: "It won't happen this time. With Secretary Tian's issue, who would dare to harm Li Cunyuan?"
You." Zhang Xiaowu didn't say anything, and the other officials quit, saying that Li Cunyuan didn't even pay attention to the general, so how could he prove that this move was not his conspiracy. They blocked the road and prevented Zhang Xiaowu from going. Then
I had no choice but to go back and report truthfully.
Cheng Chu and Li Cunyuan couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed that Li Cunyuan was already known as a villain. Even if he wanted to step down for the other party, the other party couldn't believe it. Li Cunyuan suddenly thought of a way, and asked his personal attendant to tell Zhang Xiaowu that he wanted to borrow money from him.
Ma needed to agree to two requests. The first was to release the people from the Xiaoqi camp, and the second was to let Zhang Xiaowu wash his feet. If Zhang Xiaowu agreed, the feud between the two would be over.
When the conditions reached Yizhuang, Xiao Kai, Hu Li, Zhao Suo, Zu Gongmao and other generals immediately quit. Shen Lindong was also furious: "It's better to fight to the death. This is too stupid."
Zhao Suo stood up and said: "I will take people to burn down the Xiaoqi camp!"
"Come on, you are the most trouble-making person." Hu Li teased, "If you hadn't acted impulsively, how could you have caused so much trouble."
Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said: "I don't blame Zhao Suo for this matter. Li Cunyuan has wanted to fight with me for a long time."
Xiao Kai said: "Why don't we borrow the horse?"
Zhang Xiaowulang said with a smile: "I have to borrow this horse. If I don't borrow it, I will be afraid of him." He thought for a moment and then laughed: "You can get three hundred horses for free after washing your feet. It's worth it."
Everyone hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but Zhang Xiaowu ordered: "Since he wants face, let's give him face and tell the whole regiment and the whole city that in order to borrow horses, I will wash his feet with three hundred horses once. If he doesn't give me three
A hundred horses, I will chop off his feet."
Wu Song smiled thoughtfully at the side. It seemed that the Colonel had already planned in his mind to roast Li Cunyuan on the fire. He just didn't know if Li Cunyuan could take this step.
The crowd beat gongs and drums to spread propaganda throughout the city. They carried flags and deliberately circled the city several times, attracting almost all the people and resting soldiers in the wooden city. They followed the group to the front of the Xiaoqi camp.
Cheng Chu was eating raisins and drinking wine with his concubines when he was startled by the sound of gongs and drums. Hearing that Zhang Xiaowu was going to wash Li Cunyuan's feet and lend him a horse in front of the entire city, he immediately realized
What was Zhang Xiaowu doing? He was furious in his heart and cursed that these two people were not easy-going people. He didn't know what trouble would happen later, so he rushed to the Xiaoqi camp with his soldiers.
Along the way, Cheng Chu saw many people running to watch the excitement. He became even more angry and cursed: "If I have a chance, I will throw them both on the battlefield and let them kill each other."
Li Cunyuan didn't expect that Zhang Xiaowu not only agreed to his request, but also beat gongs and drums to summon the entire city's soldiers and civilians as if celebrating the New Year. He also saw the figure of other soldiers in the army from a distance, and knew that they had come to watch the joke. He felt like eating flies.
Generally disgusting.
Li Cunyuan had no choice but to step forward and hold down Zhang Xiaowu's wooden basin, and said pleasantly: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, brother Zhang Xian, I was just talking casually and joking with you. How can I take it seriously? How can I take it seriously?"
Zhang Xiaowu said with a sarcastic smile: "So it was a joke?"
"Natural, natural."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Thank you Junhou Li for the 300 horses."
Li Cunyuan said: "Three hundred horses are a lot. We can borrow at most fifty horses from our army."
Zhang Xiaowu shouted: "So Brother Li regards military orders as child's play, and being a general is a fart? You actually bargained with me. I need to ask everyone, should this person who disrespects military orders deserve to be killed? Well, look, the general just
Not far away."
Li Cunyuan was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes, and he gnashed his teeth and said in a low voice: "Zhang, please don't go too far. Our Xiaoqi Battalion only has more than a thousand horses in total. I tell you that I can lend you fifty horses at most!"
Zhang Xiaowu threatened: "Marquis Li, do you believe that I led the Death Soldier Battalion into the city at night and destroyed your Xiaoqi Battalion?"
Li Cunyuan said angrily: "How dare you, a thief?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Do you think I dare? I am about to rush to the Yashan camp to fight the dog barbarians. I have already put life and death aside. Even if we commit murder, the most severe punishment is to be sent to the Yashan camp."
. But I am sure that I will turn you into a human being inside and out, and you will not even be able to become a military commander. Do you dare to bet with me?"
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. When encountering such a scoundrel, Li Cunyuan could only secretly complain that he was unlucky. He suffered big losses twice. He was really angry and helpless and said: "The surname is Zhang, let's wait and see."
"Marquis Li Jun laughed mischievously."
Seeing Cheng Chu dismounting and approaching with the generals, Li Cunyuan immediately laughed and said: "In honor of the general's order, I will lend you the war horse to help you save your legs."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhang Xiaowu didn't want to add insult to injury. He laughed and asked, "This water?"
Li Cunyuan grabbed the wooden basin and poured the water on it, saying: "This water is the testimony of our brotherhood. If anyone says that our brothers are at odds, it will be the time when the water is taken back. How about that?"
Zhang Xiaowu beat Li Cunyuan's chest with secret strength and laughed: "Very good! Very good! Hahaha..."
Li Cunyuan was almost beaten and vomited blood, but he had to put a smile on his face. He was really angry and helpless, and secretly cursed you Zhang Xiaowu, you'd better not fall into my hands in the future.
After being fully prepared, the Dead Soldiers Battalion escorted three thousand soldiers to the Yashan Camp.
A black stone tablet is erected every two miles on the road from Mucheng to Yashan Daying. This black stone tablet is the official road. A total of 300 pieces are erected, so there is a distance of 600 miles. I don’t think the distance of 600 miles is close.
It's not far, and it takes about ten days to walk, because part of the way you have to pass through a stretch of desert with soft ground that is difficult to walk on.
The Death Soldier Battalion obtained 300 horses, enough for the two capital teams to train together. Zhang Xiaowu first asked the Qiandu Team and the Zhongdu Team to practice riding horses, then the Houdu Team and the Xiadu Team, and finally the Zuodu Team and the Rightu Team. Six
The Zhitu teams took turns training, and each team treated them equally. Even Shen Lindong admired Zhang Xiaowu for ignoring past grudges, and the relationship with him gradually became normal. This is indeed a person who does great things.
There are some soldiers in the Death Soldier Battalion who can ride horses, but most of them don't know how to ride horses. Everyone can learn to ride horses decently.
When they first started riding horses, the biggest problem everyone encountered was the frequent friction on the inner thighs, which caused bleeding. Many soldiers felt as if they were being pinched after dismounting, walking with bowed legs, and the slightest touch would cause extreme pain.
The soldiers often laughed at each other, and each thought of many ways. Some made their own crotch pants to protect the inner thighs, and some improved the saddle so that they could sit on the saddle when in pain. Zhang Xiaowu did not stop him, because his inner thigh also
The pain was so bad that he even took off a piece of leather armor and tied it to his inner thigh with cowhide to relieve the pain.
In order to learn how to ride a horse, the sergeants used their own methods to learn how to ride a horse. However, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers, and finally gradually adapted to life on horseback.
