There are flies coming from the Yishan Mountain. They rise from the newly built camp. The flies dance in the seven ridges and twelve valleys of the mountain. The flies are entrenched in the ears of the fearless soldiers, devouring human energy and patience all the time.
The most painful thing in the world is not being cut off in two, or being poked in the neck, but this endless torture, from body to mind.
Imagine there is a fly lingering in your ear, from morning to dusk, from day to night, it flies when you eat, it flies when you sleep, it flies when you work, no matter who you are, you will eventually be unable to hold on and collapse.
Today, Tudan, who is tied to an iron pillar, is being tortured like this. Ever since Niu Chao took charge of guarding him, his mouth had never stopped. All kinds of obscene words and extremely vicious words kept flying around him.
Who is Niu Chao? He has been at the bottom of the society since he was a child. He has never seen any kind of vicious person. He is struggling between life and death and has developed this iron tooth and bronze teeth. It can be said that even if he is buried in the soil, in a hundred years, everything else will fall into mud, only this mouth will be immortal.
On the first day, Tudan could exchange some words with him, but after persisting for a day and a night, he slumped in defeat as he watched the mouth fly up and down, with spittle flying everywhere, showing no sign of fatigue.
By the next day, Tudan had become numb, sluggish and allowed the endless stream of bad words to roll in like a torrential river. He had already lost the will to compete and was willing to surrender.
On the third day, Tudan began to struggle manically, trying to escape from this purgatory.
On the fourth day, Tudan, who had always been proud, finally lowered his arrogant head and cried bitterly and begged the other party to give him pleasure.
This move angered Niu Chao. If Tudan died, the five taels of silver would disappear. Being vicious, he got wild honey from somewhere and sprayed it on Tudan's body with his mouth. Not only do you have to endure the endless buzz, but you also have to deal with countless real flies.
Early on the sixth day, Wu Gen walked out of the house with dark circles under his eyes and met the equally haggard Baoxiang.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Wu Gen wanted to give himself a few big mouths at this time. What a stupid thing he had done. He actually asked Niu Chao to guard Tu Dan.
In the past few days, there has been no peaceful life in the camp. The ups and downs of curses, sometimes as fierce as the tide, sometimes as gentle as the wind, have never stopped. In addition, the practitioners have sharp ears and eyesight, so it is better during the day. At night, everything is quiet, and the sound is so dull. Even if I cover myself with a quilt, I can't stop the voice of fate.
Nowadays, everyone in the Fearless Army, whether they are humans or shepherds, will avoid the cows at a distance as if they saw an evil ghost, and their hearts are full of sympathy for Tudan.
At first there were some shepherds who were reluctant to engage in production, but after three days, each of them was working more happily than anyone else.
Although the work is tiring, it can save your life.
"Wu Gen, let's stop here. If we continue like this, without anyone fighting, our fearless army will collapse, and there is no chance that no one will be left alive." Baoxiang sighed, his face full of exhaustion.
Niu Chao not only withstands beatings, he also has great endurance. These days, he only rests for an hour every day, and he won't stop talking even when eating.
When Wu Gen, Bao Xiang and others arrived at the iron pillar, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Tudan's face was already ashen, and he had a wooden stick stuffed in his mouth and tied behind his head with a rope to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
The whole body was covered with flies and ants. As soon as the person approached, huge blowflies flew up like black smoke, which looked extremely scary.
Wu Gen took a breath of air and glared at Niu Chao fiercely. He wanted to deal with Tudan, but he didn't want to kill him. If Tudan dies, it will not only affect the morale of the herdsmen, but the key is how to explain it to the Lu family. It's nothing like Xingshan here, Ji Ye is covering everything. If you go too far, there is no chance that the Lu family will take action.
You can say harsh words, but you can't do cruel things.
Seeing Wu Gen's worried expression, Niu Chao quickly stood up and said, "Sir, I have not been able to sleep for the past few days, trying to improve this smelly and hard turtle grandson every day. And according to your instructions, I did not use any weapons. , I have no hands or feet. If I wait two more days, this melon will regret it for no reason, lie on the ground and act like a dog for adults, doing whatever he is told."
"Two more days, one more day and this person will be gone." Wu Gen cursed angrily, and quickly asked Zhuo Ke and Zhang Wuyang to put the person down, pinch his nose and take him to the house to clean.
"Sir, let him go now. My other ten taels of silver..." Niu Chao followed closely behind Wu Gen and reminded him with a wink.
Wu Gen casually found a piece of silver and threw it to him, "Gungun, shut up these days. I find that one or two silver coins are deducted at a time."
"I hope you will step on the dog shit when you go out." Niu Chao took the silver, chrysanthemums bloomed on his fair face, and ran away like a squirrel, hiding the silver in a secret bank that only he knew. .
In the room, Wu Gen looked at Tu Dan, whose eyes were dull and as if he were dead. He put his hand on his chest and said, "Tu Dan, Niu Chao has gone and he hasn't woken up yet."
After a long time, Tudan's eyes slowly started to move, like a fallen leaf falling into a pool of stagnant water, and he gradually came to life.
After blinking a few times, Tudan chuckled and shrank toward the bed in fear.
"It's over, this person is useless." Baoxiang shook his head repeatedly, and his evaluation of Niu's super lethality became even higher.
Wu Gen scratched his head and stepped forward to hold Tu Dan's shoulders. A surge of energy entered him. Tu Dan's face gradually softened. He saw Wu Gen immediately fell to his knees and cried bitterly: "Sir, I know I'm wrong." I don’t dare to violate military orders in the future. I will only obey the orders of the adults. After this incident, the villain is willing to give up his position to others and just be an ordinary soldier."
Wu Gen had a gentle face and said with a smile: "Tu Qu Chang, why is it like this? The rules of our Fearless Army include rewards and punishments. If you make a mistake, you will be punished to the end. In this way, your subordinates will still be under your command. It’s just that you should discuss everything with Mu Shi more often, so as not to break military rules again. It’s up to you.”
Seeing that Tu Dan insisted on resigning, Wu Gen gave in a few words and became impatient. His face turned cold and he said, "Just do what I tell you to do. Could it be that you want to violate the military order again and call Niu Chao?"
Tudan trembled in fright and nodded quickly, "Sir, I am willing to do it. There is no need to invite Mr. Niu over again."
"That's right." Wu Gen smiled and helped him up.
Two days later, after his body recovered, Wu Gen deliberately took him around the camp. When he arrived at a crowded place, he would deliberately stop and ask Tudan for his opinion.
Originally, Wu Gen was afraid that Tu Dan would lose his authority due to being punished and would no longer be able to lead his subordinates, so he came to do this. Unexpectedly, Tudan was indeed a bit of a good person. He was reluctant at first, but after asking more questions, he actually had his own opinions on setting up camp, which made Wu Gen glad that he did not take him into consideration. Got fucked.
Now founded by Yishan, the most lacking thing are these generals who know how to lead troops, and as the team behind them expands, there is an even greater shortage of such people.
As they walked, Wu Gen lost his sense of joking and sincerely asked Tu Dan for advice, making Zhang Wuyang and others write them down one by one.
After this incident, Wu Gen also discovered that he had made the mistake of preconceptions. His family started out as a grass-roots team, and he always thought that most of the generals in those families were trash. However, after this incident, these generals with serious military backgrounds still had some problems. With few redeeming features.
These experiences absolutely cannot be learned from books. As the saying goes, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums all have their own strengths. Don't underestimate the world because of prejudice.
After walking around, he saw that Tudan was a little tired, so Wu Gen personally sent him back to his camp and had him bring a lot of drinks.
On the way back, everyone was in deep thought. Ye Ziming clasped his hands behind his back, shook his head and sighed: "Wu Gen, you are so disgusting. After beating someone up, and then doing this again, you have gained yourself some generosity and righteousness." reputation."
Wu Genpi walked up to Ye Ziming with a smile on his face, "Old Ye, since you came to Kuntianzhou, you have eaten and drank from me, and you have pulled my hind legs from time to time. You said that, but you feel guilty in your heart. "
"Tch, isn't it normal for me to eat your food? Even if I lie in the room and sleep every day, you have to deliver it to the bedside obediently." Ye Ziming sneered disdainfully. As long as he was not talking about military affairs, Wu Gen would not joke no matter how much he did. Even if he gets angry, he can still control this.
"I'll eat you to death, you dandy." Wu Gen showed no dissatisfaction, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I'll give you some money in a few days, and you can go to Liu'an City or Maojing City, the main city of the Lu family, to connect with each other. Since we are on someone else's territory, we still need to maintain a good relationship."
"I'm good at this." Ye Ziming thought for a while, turned around and asked, "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell them in advance, so that I can have a clear target then."
"Let's go to the house and talk." After a few people returned to Wu Gen's residence, Wu Gen thought for a while and then said: "In the eyes of other families, our fearless army is just like a guest army. If you give us money, you can We need to do some work, so Lu Lie can rest assured to give us a certain amount of space.
He pinned me here, firstly to strengthen the strength of the Lu family, and also because our fearless army had gained a reputation and was favored by others, so he drew me over, hoping to take the opportunity to weaken the Ji family.
But it doesn't matter. As far as we are concerned, as long as Ji Ye doesn't hold the power, we can't place all our hopes on the Ji family. We don't know when they will be wiped out. Xingshan is supported by the moon, so it's safe for the time being, but it's hard to say how long it will take.
The current situation is unclear, and there is no telling when a war will break out. When we arrive at the Lu family this time, our fearless army must establish an army as soon as possible and find a way to expand our strength with the help of the Lu family.
Therefore, Ziming went to contact the Lu family to see if there are any disobedient small families that we can deal with. This way the army expansion will be faster, otherwise it will take a long time to recruit little by little. "
Baoxiang sighed and rubbed his temples, "These families are all good. The Ji family will not let us grow too much, and neither will the Lu family. I estimate that three thousand is the limit they can endure. Any more If there are too many, there is no chance that the other party will take action like the Ji family, and you always have to look at the person's face when you rely on someone else."
Wu Gen smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we have to be bullied if we don't have any territory. Even if the Ji family is like this with Ji Ye covering them, let alone the Lu family.
So my idea is to only keep 3,000 regular soldiers with strong combat power, and the rest will be regarded as civilians, farming and hunting every day. Otherwise, why would I open so many fields on Youyi Mountain?
If these recruited people want to become an army, it will take a long time. Tu Dan's story inspired me. The soldiers of those families are far beyond the capabilities and military discipline of these common people, so we have to find a way. Organize several families to increase the combat effectiveness of their regular soldiers as soon as possible. After we have the power to protect ourselves, we can then try to trigger a war. At that time, each family will have no time to take care of themselves. This is the time for us to truly grow. "
Zhang Wuyang frowned and said: "Master, this is faster, but the loyalty of these people is no more reliable than the people I have trained little by little. If there is someone planting a secret here, they will turn against you." alright."
"This is natural. No one can guarantee whether we have someone else's hidden clues here." Wu Gen gently twirled his fingers, thoughtfully, "So here in Yishan, it is not appropriate to equip too many Zhentian Bows. In addition, Yi Falcon I don’t plan to build the army here either. That’s right.”
At this point, Wu Gen turned to look at Li Qi, who never took the initiative to speak, "Li Qi, you have to hurry up and set up a team to be responsible for identifying spies and killing hidden ones. If necessary, You can also attack and kill the leaders of some other families. You and Ye Ziming cooperate, one in the light and one in the dark, to try to provide a safe environment for our fearless army to form. "
Li Qi nodded silently and sat in the most inconspicuous corner as always.
"Fortress leader, why don't you start adding sand? This will save these two commanders from having to support their troops." Zhuo Ke reminded from the side.
Wu Gen smiled slightly and tapped the table with his fingers, "Don't worry, after the camp is built and the training begins, we will disperse these 800 people. Those who are disobedient will be handed over to Niu Chao."
Some people died, but not completely...
