Chapter 4 Rewarding both ends of the fat hog
Du Ba was seriously injured and still lying on the bed.
Zhao Wanjun and Liu Hu lost their lives in the first wave of offensive and defensive battles in the city gate. Now they are still on the bottom floor of the city gate, waiting to be carried out.
So only Feng Sheng, Du Er, Xiong Blind, and about twenty soldiers wrapped in white cloth came to the city tower.
Zhu Xu, the general of the Southern Central Army, was eight feet long and had a square face and wide eyebrows. He was just middle-aged. He looked quite heroic, but there was a little more depressed feeling between his eyebrows than others.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Zhu Xu changed his expression and shouted: "Okay!"
Then he stood up, walked to everyone, and continued, "If the Xiangyang defenders were like all the soldiers, even if the Qin army had 100,000 troops, they would not be able to break through this city! In the battle last night, Xiangyang was fortunate that you would block the city gate in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable after letting the Qin army occupy the city gate! Since there were military achievements, there would be rewards!"
After saying that, he glanced at the follower next to him and sat back on the main seat.
The entourage, who looked like a clerk, walked up and sang to everyone: "On the 19th hour of June 14th year of Jianyuan, the Qin army attacked Xiangyang on the rainy night. At that time, there were already 120 people entering the city. When they were hiding at night, they were on duty and beating drums to tell each other. Fortunately, Du Ba's troops were in charge, and they quickly entered the city and blocked the enemy from the city gate. Therefore, Du Ba was moved to Sima of another unit and led 300 people."
The clerk slowed down and then sang: "Feng Sheng, ten people, went to the city to break the enemy's flying hook rope and block the enemy on the city wall. He made a great contribution. Therefore, Feng Sheng was promoted to the team leader and led fifty people. Du Er and Xiong Fangzhong were promoted to the team leader and led fifty people. The soldiers in the former Du Ba team killed the enemy will each be awarded 50 yuan, and each of them will be rewarded with a fat pig end."
Everyone cheered. Since the Qin army began to siege the city, except for the generals, everyone else had basically never seen meat.
Xie Li was speechless for a moment. He was used to eating meat in his previous life, so he naturally didn't feel much happy with these two pigs.
But I suddenly remembered a person in my mind, who was "his own" biological mother: Qin Shi.
The two depended on each other and basically had no good life. As for who their biological father was, "Xie Li" when he was a child, he once asked Qin, but every time he asked, he was silent or crying.
So I never asked about the later "self".
Xie Li thought: These things were exchanged for life, but then he thought that the life he had fought for could only be replaced with two fat pigs, and he sighed.
But at least there is still some money and food, so I can give it to Qin to help her improve her food and make her filial piety.
While thinking, Zhu Xu stood up again, walked to Xie Li, and asked with a smile: "You are Xie Li and Xie Jingxuan? Last night, I heard Feng Mai Zheng say that you were alone, cut off three flying hooks, and kill seven enemies! Is there anything wrong?"
Xie Li then came to his senses and replied with his fists: "Returning to the Central Army General, Xie Li just attacked the two of them while the chaos, and repaired several Qin soldiers who fell into the city and were injured in the dark. In terms of blocking the enemy head-on, Xie Li is not as good as the brothers here."
"Haha! That's natural. You're only 16 years old this year, and you'll pick one here, which is much stronger than you. If you fight head-on, not to mention that you're not an enemy of the enemy, most of them can only be the enemy of the enemy." Zhu Xu laughed a few times, and his sorrow seemed to have disappeared a little, and he said so.
“That’s exactly that.”
Xie Li smiled slightly without saying too much.
Zhu Xu withdrew his smile and continued: "It is true that on the battlefield, the soldiers are strong and brave, and fighting is indispensable, especially the 'brothers' in front of you. They are the main cornerstones of the battle. With them, I, Zhu Xu, can sit firmly in the city and fight against the 100,000 Qin troops with just 6,000 Jin soldiers!"
"only……"
Zhu Xu changed his sentence: "Not all of our soldiers are suitable for fighting head-on, and a large part of them have other uses. For example, the medical officer who treated the wounded last night, was responsible for the logistics of food and grass, the crossbowmen who shot and killed the enemy, and the spies who were in the enemy. Every one of them here is indispensable. The ancients said: The wise ruler is the official and property, and the strength is not allowed. The story is achieved, and all achievements are established. The chaotic ruler does not know that each thing has its own strengths and weaknesses."
Xie Li put on a respectful student look and bowed, "The words of the General of the Central Army have made Xie Li understand a lot. Xie Li keeps the general's teachings in mind!"
"The boy can teach me..."
Zhu Xu nodded, thinking that this kid is well-behaved and sensible.
However, in Xie Li's eyes, Zhu Xu no longer seemed to be a majestic general, but was a bit like a famous scholar who was teaching in the city.
"Mr. Zhu" paced back and forth in front of everyone, saying as he walked: "Head-on-head fighting is not your main point. When the Qin army attacked the city head-on, you will not be of much use in the team. Instead, you may have lost your life in vain. Yesterday, Xie Li was able to cut off the flying hook in a chaotic battle and secretly killed seven people, which is enough to prove that you are flexible, agile, and decisive in dealing with things, and not dragging on the mud."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Xu said to the clerk beside him: "Take other soldiers down the city and arrange the rewards after the war."
In an instant, only Zhu Xu and Xie Li were left on the city tower.
Xie Li suddenly had a bad premonition...
After Zhu Xu sat on the main seat, he called Xie Li to his side and said, "I have a smart spy in the Qin army's hero Shi Yue. I have installed a smart spy a few months ago. There has been no movement these days. I am afraid that Shi Yue has noticed it. Although you have only been enlisted for a few days, your performance yesterday is enough to prove that you are loyal to my Jin and are very agile to defeat this term. Therefore, you don't have to go to Duba's team."
Sure enough, indeed!
Xie Li cursed inwardly, and the line appeared in his mind subconsciously: Three years later and three years later and three years later…
"The General of the Central Army appreciates it, Xie Li is honored. But..."
"What are you worried about?"
"Although I, Xie Li, was loyal to Jin and had no other intentions, I only joined the army for two days and knew very little about our army and the enemy. As for which are important military information and which are secondary military information, I cannot tell the difference, so even if I go deep into the enemy, I can't see much. Besides, Xie Li was just over the age of hair tied (15 years old), and the ancients often said that people were unpredictable. If Xie Li was deceived by the enemy and even reported the military information misreported, and the Jin army was trapped in a plan to lure the enemy, wouldn't it be a big mistake to die?"
After hearing this, Zhu Xu raised his lips slightly, staring at Xie Li without answering.
But Xie Li still kept bowing and was unmoved.
