Chapter 37 The Guards

?The camping site outside the Piba Temple, the lights in the camp are dim. Under the moonlight, through the dark woods, it seems that there are "demon shadows" inside from afar.?????????????????

Yuwen Wen, who led his troops to attack the Chen army camp in Jiangjin in the middle of the night, is now sitting in the tent with his right eye socket and face loss, and asked the military doctor to help relieve the swelling. Li Shimo and others gathered around and lowered their heads like children doing something wrong.

Because these rough men backfired, Yuwen Wen's injuries became even worse.

Yuwen Wen, who had fought half a bucket of water when he attacked the Chen army camp in Jiangjin before, was hit by Chen, who claimed to be "alone", and swollen his right eye socket. After returning to the camp of the Biqua Temple, Yuwen Wen felt that his right eye could not be opened, so he rushed to let Li Shi, who was the person who was in charge of his body, apply it to him.

Then these rough men brought hot water and used handkerchiefs to help the army apply their eyes. Yu Wenwen didn't think so much, so he got rid of the blood stasis and the whole right eye socket became more and more swollen. When the military doctor arrived, his right eye was swollen and completely invisible.

"You have to apply cold water to stop the bleeding!" Yang Ji said laughingly and cryingly. Yuwen Wen's "confident servant" Yuwen Shiwu was busy settling down his cavalry when he came back, but he was not there to serve him. Zhang Yu, who was responsible for taking care of Yuwen Wen, led the Xiangyang "water\ghost team" to attack Jiang Jinshu before he came back, but he made a joke.

When blood stasis occurs, cold water (ice water) should be applied to stop bleeding and prevent the blood stasis from expanding. Then apply hot water to promote the dissipation and absorption of blood stasis. Li Shimo and others have insufficient experience, which is a good intention to do something wrong.

"It's okay, you can learn from your mistakes!" Yuwen Wen was also amused and crying. Who told him to set rules in the new army that no one, including him, would be allowed to lead servants and troops. Without caring and capable people, they could only rely on these rough men.

As the saying goes, Yuwen Wen did not lead the guards from the mansion to follow him. Except for the pork ribs demon Zhang Yu who started to grow flesh, all the new soldiers were followed by Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu had good skills in playing knives and was responsible for the bodyguards taking over the "service" while Yuwen Shiwu was completely responsible for the cavalry under his command.

"If the general wants to bring extra people to protect himself, it means that he has no confidence in his army. Since the Lord General has no confidence in the soldiers, why should the soldiers have confidence in the Lord General?"

This is what Yuwen Wen said when he communicated with his generals. It originated from the "household system" that he and Yang Ji hated very much. It refers to the "household system" around the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they also had no good impression of the army system.

The combat effectiveness of the army is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. This is a fact, but it is only applicable to small-scale conflicts in which heroes are separatist. If the national war is developed to fight for the world, the army system will pull back.

It's very simple. The plot is that the generals' private property is not very willing to use their own private property for the sake of the national war, and they are not very motivated to attack. After all, whoever fights hard will suffer. In modern times, you will use all your savings to trade stocks and make a profit and pay for it. How can you bear the loss?

It is precisely because of the shortcomings of the division system that the Northern Dynasties had begun to implement the system of government troops in the late Northern Dynasties and was strengthened in the Sui Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was promoted and strengthened toward glory, and then the end of the road was at the end of the collapse of the equal-field system. Yuwen Wen's army was currently recruiting troops and decided to "follow the trend of history" in the future and not go back.

"Those who do not know are innocent, everyone will have to stab a few more enemies to fight next time." Yuwen Wen didn't care that the guards were ruthless. He was determined to implement the rules of having no troops in his army, so he should make the generals confident in the soldiers under his command, and let the soldiers know that the generals have confidence in them.

The main combat method of the new army is to form a spear to fight against infantry and cavalry, which means to abide by discipline and dare to fight desperately by infantry and attack by cavalry. As a result, the generals who commanded the battle had troops around and guarded and prepared horses to escape at any time. What did the soldiers think about this behavior?

What's more, the combat method of the long spear formation is the greatest guarantee for the generals who command the phalanx. If you don't even believe in your own phalanx combat power, then don't do it and leave quickly. If the soldiers' skills are not good, you can strengthen training, which is not a reason for the generals to tie private soldiers to protect themselves.

The generals wanted to live and die with the square formation, and Yuwen Wen wanted to live and die with his own soldiers, so whoever dared to lead private soldiers would get out of the way. Even Xu Shao, the only "third-generation official" who had the ability to lead the army, was alone.

Hearing the words of the army, Li Shimo and others were relieved when they were kindly doing the wrong thing. They looked guilty and tried to do something to make up for their mistakes.

"I'm afraid everyone is thirsty, so go get water and drink it. Remember to boil the water." Yang Ji looked at the elm-wood heads in front of him and was helpless. Yu Wen Wen treated the military doctor for bruises and sat for so long none of these men remembered to take the water.

An elm head hurriedly took the water jug ​​and went out to fetch water. The rest stood still as if they were stunned. Seeing that the military doctor had finished handling and left and the guards were indifferent, Yang Ji smiled bitterly and then stood up to help Yuwen Wen remove his armor. The rough men came to their senses when they saw this and surrounded him with a loud noise.

They always wanted to make up for the mistakes they had made just now, and were extremely anxious and anxious, like a group of pigs, surrounded Yuwen Wen and even squeezed out Yang Ji, who was very skilled. Yuwen Wen couldn't help but let the rough men "dismantle" their armor. At this time, he felt like a weak woman thrown into a man's nest and was ravaged.

He kept thinking about setting an example in his heart. Yuwen Wen allowed the other party to 'skip' him. He looked at the cup of cold water that Li Shimo respectfully brought up with respect to him, and he had no expression on his face. Yang Ji, who couldn't see him, coughed and reminded: "Drinking cold water at night will cause diarrhea, so he won't take Wen Wen away."

Li Shimo, who looked at him with a guilty face, left with a water jug ​​and said with a wry smile: "At least this kind of heart is nothing to say." He seemed to be convincing Yang Ji, in fact, trying to convince himself that the soldiers selected as guards would not serve others, but they were extremely motivated and surrounded the generals as soon as there was a stir.

There are no troops in the army. Considering that the generals are worried about not having troops on the battlefield, no one is willing to protect themselves, Yuwen Wen used military law to solve the problem. He stipulated that the team leader and above could designate a guard to follow him as an escort and follow him in daily life, but this object should be replaced every once in a while to avoid being disguised as a private soldier.

If the general has his own servant and guards, he will not be allowed to go to war with the army outside the military camp. If there is no war, the general will leave the barracks and take the servants to do whatever they want.

Military law: Whether it is in the battle, marching, or in the barracks, the team leader and above are attacked and the rescue is not favorable, resulting in the other party's death, then a total of ten people should be killed. If the generals retreat without receiving the order during the battle, or even escape at the battle, everyone can hold a knife to kill them.

The team leader and above can choose a person from the auxiliary soldiers as an orderly soldier and they have to be replaced every once in a while. In addition to Zhang Yu, the orderly soldier, Yuwen Wen randomly chooses someone to follow him. The generals all rely on the soldiers in the army to protect their personal safety.

Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji were talking about some military affairs and suddenly asked, "Is this general funny?" He felt that the rough men around him lowered their heads and kept twitching their shoulders, as if they were holding back their smiles.

"No, uh. Cough cough." Li Shimo, who was as strong as a cow, said hesitantly, but he was obviously almost unable to help laughing. The Tongjun's eyes now swollen on one side, as if they were big and big, they really couldn't hold it in.

They all know that Yuwen Tongjun, who often shouts and kills, actually has a good temper and often laughs and scolds the soldiers and gets close to them. Not to mention that they only eat with the soldiers while eating, it is admirable.

The military commander is the son of General Yuwen or the "Sunset County Duke". Such a noble and noble man can work and rest with them. What else can I complain about? The military law is strict, but the generals bully soldiers and deduct military pay. This is many times better than the army elsewhere!

Yuwen Wen was speechless when he looked at these bad guys with poor acting skills. Yang Ji didn't want to watch these guys clumsy serving the people and temporarily took over the duties of serving the people, but was rushed to check on the wounded soldiers of the Long Dao Team, and had to retreat. After a while, Yuwen Shiwu entered the account to report something: the couple they rescued from the Chen Jun camp staged a separation of life and death.

"That woman is going to commit suicide?" Yuwen frowned after hearing a few words.

"The knife was taken off, and now the two are holding their heads and crying." Yuwen Shiwu looked sympathetic.

Yuwen Wen thought about the woman in the big tent and the man was tied to the ground, and wondered if it was a dirty "husband\front offender". He sighed at the fate of this pair of miserable mandarin ducks. If it weren't for his hard-working resistance against the foolish monarch Yuwen Yun who covet his wife last year, this tragic and humiliating fate would have happened again in him.

"Ask who they are, and let them go home when the war is over."

Yuwen Shiwu said that he asked the other party that he was not a local person. Judging from his accent, he seemed to be a Chen native who went north with the army. Yuwen Wen was a little curious and asked someone to bring this pair of miserable mandarin ducks over.

A moment later, the two were brought in. When the other party saw Yuwen Wen, they knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your help, General."

"No matter what I have been born before, I have finally ended my hardships and finally ended my hardships, so don't think about finding a short-term view." Yuwen Wen started his ideological work, "The virtuous couple seems to be from Jiangnan? This time our army will soon be able to repel the Chen army. I wonder what plans will be for the future?"

The woman just sobbed in a low voice while the man looked dull: "The grass-roots people are no longer homeless, and there is no difference between the north and south of the country."

Yuwen Wen didn't reply after hearing this, he looked at the man steadily for a while before he asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper Wang?"

The man was shocked when he heard this and then raised his head and looked at Yuwen Wen with an incredible gaze. After a while, he said: "Mr. Duke?"
