"Good! What a Zhang Nan! He will become a great person in the future!" Seeing Zhang Nan's outstanding performance, Wen Yuan couldn't help but shout "Hello". He always paid attention to the results of the technical soldiers who had finished the competition.
Among the remaining people, there are only six who have become superior sergeants, and they are all from the first rank to the lower rank, and from the upper rank to the middle rank. Before Zhang Nan, there was no one!
The competition is still going on. Whenever someone gets a good result, the soldiers watching will burst into cheers. The whole competition lasts for two full days. On the third day, even those who want to become regular soldiers can do so.
Registration, on the last day of November, the competition among the Wenyuan Army finally ended.
According to statistics, a total of 1,421 soldiers participated in the military skills assessment this time, including 1,313 regular soldiers and 108 supply soldiers.
In this competition, there were fifty-three soldiers with superior military ranks, of whom fifty-one were superior and inferior, and two were superior and medium. One of them was Zhang Nan of the Lancers, and the other was
He was a leader of the archery team, named Murong Ping.
Murong Ping was a native of Wei County. His family was originally wealthy. When he was young, he liked to play with guns and sticks and was very good at shooting. During the Yellow Turban period, his family property was robbed. Since then, he has been wandering around the world. Four months ago, he heard that Wenyuan was recruiting troops, so he led a group of brothers to surrender.
, because he was proficient in archery, he was incorporated into the archery team.
Murong Ping... murmured softly, and Wen Yuan's head felt a little raw thinking about it. Wen Yuan still had some impression of this name. It should have appeared in novels or official history, and he was a general under Yuan Shao.
Since he can become a general, he must have something extraordinary. This Murong Ping must pay more attention to his training in the future, hoping that he can become a qualified general as soon as possible.
Compared with the scarcity of soldiers with high-level skills, 90% of soldiers have received intermediate skills assessments. This makes Wen Yuan feel somewhat comforted. The training days for soldiers are short, so it is reasonable to achieve such results. I believe that next time
Through competition, the performance of these soldiers will be improved to a certain extent.
After the competition, there were rewards and punishments, those who were promoted were rewarded, and those who were demoted were punished. The superior soldier Wen Yuan personally received him and gave him armor as a sign of encouragement. The rewards and punishments of the other soldiers were based on the sergeant's performance and were carried out in accordance with military law. Some were overjoyed to receive the reward, and some were overjoyed.
His buttocks were swollen and sore after being hit with a stick. In short, he had various expressions.
However, Wen Yuan no longer cared about the thoughts of the soldiers. He announced on the spot that the entire army would have a day off. The entire army would gather at the school grounds at dusk the day after tomorrow!
On the first day of December, Wen Yuan opened his jaw and called to his residence early in the morning. The two spread out a sheepskin map and argued endlessly.
"My lord, it's so hard for you to keep it a secret!"
"I'm afraid that you have some doubts in your heart, and I don't know what you think, so I can't explain it to you." Wen Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Master, how do you treat me like an outsider? There are only two months of food left in the army. If we don't come up with a good plan, the soldiers will be defeated. I think the Lord seems to have a pearl of wisdom in his hands. It turns out that he has got the idea of the bandit."
Wen Yuan looked up to the sky and expressed pity for the people, and sighed: "Exploiting the people, making them miserable, is no different from banditry. Although Liao is not talented, he dare not do it."
"In this first battle, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"
"Junyi, you can't compete with me for this job. There are many bandits in Julu County. You can go anywhere else as you please."
During the argument, Zhang Yu entered the inner hall and reported: "Young Master, Wang Li is back!"
Wen Yuan chuckled and said, "Quickly pass him in."
But they saw Wang Li limping into the inner hall, with a cut on his forehead, and the wound was still bloody. When he saw Wen Yuan, he bowed: "I pay my respects to my lord."
"What's the reason for this injury?" Wen Yuan was stunned, and without waiting for his reply, he quickly ordered Zhang Yu to get some water-based wound medicine, and personally wiped Wang Li's wound and treated it.
Wang Li was so moved that he was at a loss and said incoherently: "No, it's okay. The villain was in a hurry and accidentally fell. It made the lord miss him. The villain will die!"
Wen Yuan patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The day before yesterday, you sent someone to report that the Yang family has a large family that is colluding with bandits. Please tell me the details as soon as possible."
Wang Li choked up slightly and said: "Yes, I have been ordered by the general to explore the traces of thieves in surrounding counties and counties for several months, and found a lot. I heard that a big family named Yang in Yang's County had contacts with the Baibo thieves the day before yesterday. His subordinates secretly investigated
It was learned that the leader of the Baibo thieves, Yang Feng, was officially a member of a wealthy clan with the surname Yang in Yang County. Although he led thieves to Hedong, Hanoi, Shangdang and other places all year round, most of the looted property was secretly escorted to the Yang clan.
In the fort built, there has been a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass accumulated over the years."
Wen Yuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked calmly: "Continue, what is the specific situation?"
"Yes, people of the Yang clan live together. Wubao is located more than thirty miles west of Yang County, adjacent to Gaoyi, Changshan County. Wubao is about one mile long and one mile wide. There are all craftsmen's shops in the fort, including the Yang family's
There are more than 800 clan members and tribes in this clan, and there are more than 2,000 disciples outside the clan with the surname Dingkou."
Wen Yuan was overjoyed and slapped the table and said: "Heaven help me! Jun Yi, I think there is no need to fight. You and I will go together tomorrow!"
In the evening of the next day, Wen Yuan ordered the sergeants of each camp to have a hearty meal first, then take off their uniforms and wear only civilian clothes, and then the entire army was assembled, including the supply troops.
After practicing continuously for more than three months, such an abnormal behavior suddenly appeared. Many soldiers had already guessed that there would be an action tonight, and they whispered among themselves, feeling very excited.
"Everyone be silent!" With a shout from the white face and open jaws, Wen Yuan rode his horse into the school grounds. When the soldiers saw the general coming, they quickly fell silent and maintained a straight military posture.
In the cold wind, Wen Yuan looked at the imposing infantry, which were arranged neatly but in ragged clothes, and nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, his eyes were wide open, and he was as sharp as an unsheathed sword. He shouted with enthusiasm: "Brothers, I believe many of you have guessed it, yes! Tonight, we are going to carry out the
An actual battle! This is the first battle since you joined the army. Many people may be injured and bleed, and some may die in battle. I am asking you, are you afraid of death? Do you dare to go to the battlefield and fight for your life?
"
"Don't be afraid! I'm afraid of a bird's egg. My old Jiao's life was originally given by my lord. Following my lord, I will go through fire and water. I, old Jiao, will never frown!" Jiao Chu has a rough temper and shouts without thinking in a loud voice.
out!
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! I will follow the general to the death!" the sergeants also shouted.
Wen Yuan waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop making noise, narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "We don't talk about nonsense in the army. If you are afraid, just be afraid. If you are not afraid, don't be afraid. It is not a shameful thing! Let me tell you, death, many people are afraid of it!
Who wants to die and turn into a piece of loess if he can live?"
Although Wen Yuan's voice was low, what he said still moved many people. Indeed, it is impossible to say that he is not afraid of death. A group of soldiers have just lived a good life. Although the daily training is a bit hard, every day
We can all have enough to eat, and we have been allocated so much land that we can cultivate it in the coming year. With such a good life, who would want to die so easily?
Therefore, many soldiers who were told the central issue lowered their heads in shame. On the side, they opened their jaws and frowned, thinking to themselves, what is the lord going to say? The soldiers have lost their morale, how can they fight tonight?
Wen Yuan's tone was slightly stern: "What are you doing? They all looked up like eggplants beaten by frost. I tell you, even those who are afraid of death are not necessarily cowards!"
"Yes!" The ashamed soldier agreed hastily.
"Yes, then if I ask you another nonsense, I'm afraid no one wants to die!" Wen Yuan nodded.
"Yes!" Many people expressed their feelings.
Wen Yuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Very good, since you don't want to die, you must train harder! But I recently heard that some soldiers complained that the training was too hard, the military law was too harsh, and signs of desertion began to appear in the military camp..."
Jiao Chu shouted at the top of his lungs: "Who is it! What son of a bitch is he? Stand up for me, old Jiao! I, old Jiao, have been beaten so many times and I don't mind it. My lord, I care that we have enough to eat and give it to us."
The land species also married a lone brother, and he could be so no conscience. If you have a kind, you can stand up! See the beast that you can't die! "
The vast majority of the sergeants still obeyed the strict military laws. At this time, when they were provoked by Jiao Zhi's words, the crowd suddenly became angry and howled to find out the soldier who had deserted during training.
Wen Yuan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said emotionally: "I don't plan to track down anyone today, I just want to tell you the importance of strict training. Maybe tonight, the price of blood will convince you more, but I hope,
Every soldier who goes on an expedition today can return safely, instead of becoming a cold corpse and sleeping in the grave."
"General, I admire your benevolence and righteousness," the soldiers said with tears of gratitude.
Wen Yuan changed his tone and said loudly: "I am announcing a military order today. From today on, all gold and silver seized on the battlefield will be distributed to 30% of the soldiers. And everyone can rest assured that if any soldiers die in battle, I will follow the old court rules.
A pension of twice the full amount will be given, and I promise you here that if the families of those who died in war have no labor, I will send people to help cultivate the land, and those who live in hardship will be provided with rice and grain every month. In a word, the victor will be rewarded!
Those who died in battle will have no worries!”
"General, benevolent and righteous! We are all willing to die!" Such a tempting sentence was like igniting a powder keg. The soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and they no longer had any worries. Their eyes burst out with fanatical flames, and they raised their weapons and raised their arms and shouted!
"The military spirit can be used!" Zhang Jia praised with emotion, deeply admiring Wen Yuan.
At this moment, Wen Yuan narrowed his eyes and twirled the velvet under his chin, pulled out his sword and pointed it diagonally southward, shouting loudly: "Every village...form up to fight!"
