From Yishan Mountain, the 800 Fearless Army gradually adapted to the new leader and the new training method. Adhering to Xue Xin's military training philosophy, these people rushed around Youyi Mountain every day, either rushing, riding and shooting, or fighting on foot, without stopping for a day.
From the beginning, Zhang Wuyang followed Wu Gen's intention and followed the path of elite soldiers, gradually eliminating those who had difficulty adapting to such a rhythm. Because the final number of the fearless soldiers on Youyi Mountain could only be around 3,000, this would reassure the Lu family and prevent Wu Gen from being dismissed from office for the second time.
This is indeed the helplessness of the guest army. There is no other way. It eats other people's food and wears other people's food. If this dog grows too fast and too powerful and threatens the safety of its owner, it can only end up as a fish in the cauldron.
After these people gradually adapted, Tu Dan only had 250 people left, and Lexi had less than 400 people left. So Wu Gen reorganized the human race and herdsmen, with about three hundred people on each side. The shepherds were very resistant at first, but with the vicious dog Niu Chao standing by to intimidate them, many people were convinced.
After the reorganization was completed, Wu Gen asked Ye Ziming and Lu Qing to report, and took people to practice on the pretext of being familiar with the Panshi Road where the Lu family was. During this period, the focus was to collect scattered small villages of herders and bring them back to Youyi Mountain through coaxing and intimidation to replenish the army of soldiers and servants.
As winter turned to spring, Wu Gen was like a chipmunk looking for food. After hard work and hard work, the fearless army on Yishan already had a thousand regular soldiers. There were also more than 2,000 commoners who settled here, and 800 could be selected from them. Servant army.
On this day, Wu Gen and Li Qi were sitting in the house, with the doors and windows closed, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
"Is that all there is?" Wu Gen looked at the few notes in front of him.
"That's all I found." Li Qi still looked like a dead fish, answering every question.
"Is there anyone in the army who is above Qu Chang and Tun Chang who has connections with outsiders? Who should they contact?" Wu Gen then asked.
"None at the moment, just some low-level soldiers. There are many people in contact, including Liu'an City, Maojing City, and several surrounding families." Li Qi's tone was calm, without any fluctuation.
"Looking at these Qu Chang and Tuen Chang, I don't believe it. The Lu family only has a few pawns." Wu Gen casually threw the intercepted and copied notes on the table.
"Would you like to kill a few?" Li Qi looked up at Wu Gen.
"Forget it, we are on other people's territory, why can't we let them send some secret agents? If we kill them all, wouldn't that make people worry? A few days ago, we went to snatch people from other people's hands, and we have offended some people. We can't do it. If there is another disturbance, just keep an eye on it. When the time comes, just make a few more surprises." Wu Gen was not worried about the existence of these people. He stood up to end the conversation and went to Liu'an City to visit his nominal boss, Lu green.
At this moment, Baoxiang came in angrily with Zhang Wuyang, and Zhuo Ke, who was guarding the door, quickly opened the door. He knew that Baoxiang was helping Wu Gen guard the house, and no matter how secretive he was, he could not hide it from him.
Seeing Baoxiang come in, Li Qi wisely said goodbye and left, leaving only four people in the room.
"Zha la, someone provoked me." Wu Gen casually handed the paper ball on the table to Zhang Wuyang, so that he could have an idea.
"Oh, this Leyu is so outrageous." Baoxiang grabbed Wu Gen's teacup and drank the remaining tea.
Wu Gen was delighted when he heard it. It was indeed outrageous to make Bao Xiang feel outrageous. These days, due to Wu Gen's laziness, Baoxiang has taken on most of the affairs of the Fearless Army, but he has become much calmer day by day.
"Le Yu encouraged a group of human beings to bully the herdsmen in the tribe. If this continues, something big will happen sooner or later. After all, there are more herdsmen on the mountain. Everyone sees it. How can we not feel resentful in our hearts. Although we are human shepherds However, after joining the Fearless Army, you are all part of it, so how can you retaliate at will even if you have little power?" Bao Xiang slammed the table with an angry look on his face.
Wu Gen's face gradually turned ugly. He had also heard some of what Baoxiang said. Since the herdsmen and human races were mixed into groups, some shepherds were also included in the troops led by Lexi.
Xu Shi has been bullied by the shepherds for a long time. Some human generals in the tribe have given these shepherds overt and covert shoes to wear. They have different standards for humans and shepherds, deal with things unfairly, and sometimes even maliciously make things difficult for these herdsmen.
In the past, it was the herdsmen who bullied the human race, but when it came to the Fearless Army, the herdsmen did not dare to jump due to Wu Gen's pressure, but the human race who had become officials jumped up.
Sometimes human nature is like this. You usually scold this and that, complain about the unfairness of the world, but when you get to the top, you will do things more harshly than the people you scolded before. You wish you could double the grievances you suffered before and blame them on unrelated people. .
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. The key is that Wu Gen, a bird herder, is usually very lazy, which is why he is in this situation.
"Let's go take a look and call Niu Chao up." Wu Gen stood up, missing Chu Xi a little.
Several people arrived at Lexi's club and heard cheers from a distance. A group of people gathered around and were making noise.
Seeing Wu Gen's arrival, these people's eyes were a little dodgey and they quietly made way.
In the clearing, there were two herdsmen lying on the ground, carrying two human officers on their backs, and they were circling around the clearing. Leyu stood aside with his arms folded, a look of pride on his face, enjoying the compliments from his subordinates.
"What are you doing?" Wu Gen's hands were trembling slightly, but his tone was very calm.
Seeing Wu Gen coming, the group of people all shrank their necks and did not dare to speak. Le Yu stepped forward, the excitement on his face not fading, "These two shepherd dogs stole food, and the army is punishing them."
"Oh, there is also military discipline in the army that makes people lie down and be like dogs. How come I haven't heard of it? Who told you to do this?" Wu Gen sneered and walked forward, looking at it, still lying on the ground and not daring to move, trembling. two shepherds. The officers on their backs had already jumped down and looked at Wu Gen with scorn.
"Sir, these two have repeatedly violated military discipline, and ordinary punishment methods are ineffective, so I came up with this method." Le Yu followed, protecting the two officers behind him.
"In other words, this is a lynching, right?" Wu Gen looked at Le Yu with a smile.
"It's not considered a lynching, it just works." Le Yu still looked indifferent.
"Le Yu, if you don't confess to your lord quickly, you are abusing lynching and violating military discipline." Zhuo Ke shouted from the side. After getting along for a long time, how could he not know that Wu Gen was already in this state? He was extremely angry and ready to kill at any time.
Upon seeing this, Le Yu curled her lips and murmured in a low voice: "The punishment Tudan received at that time was also a lynching."
Wu Gen was so angry that smoke was rising from his head. In order to punish Tu Dan, he had asked Niu Chao to do some tricks. Strictly speaking, this method is considered a lynching, and he doesn't want Le Yu to get caught.
"Then how can it be the same? The village leader's actions are all done openly, and the torture is carried out by the law enforcement team. How can there be talk of lynching." Seeing this, Zhang Wuyang next to him quickly shouted loudly, but this reason also felt a bit pale to him. .
"Humph." Le Yu turned her head to the side and stopped talking to Wu Gen.
Wu Gen took a deep breath to calm down his angry mood. Suddenly a thought came to his mind, law enforcement team, okay, Zhang Wuyang reminded himself that a law enforcement team was going to be set up.
"Le Yu, you don't have any duties in the army. You are just an ordinary soldier. You abused the punishment on Pao Ze and committed the crime of hurting others." Wu Gen said quietly with his hands behind his back and walked up to the two officers, " As for you two, as captains, you openly bullied your subordinates and violated the law, which is really unpardonable."
The two officers were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Qianhu is on top, Xiao Zhixin, these are all instigated by Le Yu, I and I are also confused, please forgive Qianhu."
Wu Gen nodded, his throat squirming hard, "You two took the lead in violating discipline, insulting subordinates, and shifting the blame to an ordinary soldier. You are really irresponsible. If there was a big war, would you take the lead in escaping today?" I will strictly enforce military discipline, Zhang Wuyang."
Wu Gen suddenly shouted loudly, "Tie these three people up, give them fifty Yue sticks, drive them out of the army, and throw them into the servant army. As for these two people." Wu Gen pointed at the two trembling officers, "With a hundred sticks, I will be dismissed from my post and demoted to a civilian husband. If I do any other misdeeds, I will be driven out of Youyi Mountain directly."
There was a coaxing sound, and the people next to him whispered. It would be easier to drive You Yishan away than to kill him. There are herdsmen everywhere, and if two humans are walking outside, you can imagine what will happen.
Wu Gen looked around coldly
At a glance, the noise stopped.
"From now on, in my fearless army, humans and herdsmen will be equal. They will be promoted based on military merit. Discrimination and insults to other tribes will never be allowed to occur again. If they do it again, they will not be punished with sticks and will be killed." At the end, Wu Gen almost gritted his teeth and said the last word.
Don't blame him for being angry this time, Le Yu's move is really digging into the roots of the Fearless Army. This is Kuntian Continent. After all, herders make up the majority. If the Fearless Army wants to expand, most of its soldiers must be herders. If he gets a bad reputation, no one will dare to defect to the Fearless Army in the future.
At this moment, Lexi also rushed over, glanced at Wu Gen in panic, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Sir, this is a lax control, please punish me."
Wu Gen lowered his head and glanced at Lexi, and said coldly: "You should be punished. As a music leader, you allow your sister to bully your subordinates. You are not very competent as a music leader."
"This matter has nothing to do with my brother. It's what I did. Why should I implicate him?" Le Yu couldn't help but panic when she saw that her brother might be punished. She ran over and tried to pull Lexi up.
Snap, Lexi slapped her sister in the face. Veins on her face were pulsing, and she roared loudly: "If you don't listen to me on weekdays, you will cause trouble. Qianhu didn't drive you out of Youyi Mountain. This is a great kindness. How dare you be so unscrupulous and talk nonsense? Lie down on the ground and I will execute the execution myself."
Le Yu stared blankly at her furious brother, with tears in her eyes. Ever since she was a child, her brother had never been willing to hit her. In anger, Le Yu turned over and lay on the ground.
Wu Gen nodded and took a few steps back, "Ask Tu Dan to bring the others over, so that everyone can see what will happen if there is another human herdsman dispute."
Soon, Tudan arrived with his own officers and some soldiers. They surrounded the place with three layers inside and three layers outside. Even the trees in the distance were decorated with many people.
"Bring the stick." Lexi shouted. A soldier was about to bring a wooden stick as thick as an arm, but Niu Chao was the first to squeeze forward, holding a soft whip made of mountain thorns in his hand. , there are many barbs on it, and I don’t know when this kid prepared such a torture device.
"Use this, use this, soft, that big stick can't kill people, this can't kill them." He said and forced it into Lexi's hand.
Lexi was a little dumbfounded when she saw it. To be honest, she had some idea of the wooden stick. She used the force skillfully and it looked fierce, but in fact it didn't do much damage. This thorn whip is not good enough, it can't be used by tricks. Once the whip goes up, there will be a bloody mark. After fifty whips, people can't even think of having a intact skin.
"Uncle Le, if you don't know what to do, I can do it for you." Niu Chao smiled and pointed at himself with his thumb.
Lexi quickly grasped the whip in her hand and let this person get started. My sister would not be able to survive today. He turned his head and cast a begging look at Wu Gen, but Wu Gen didn't react at all, and looked at the scenery in the distance with his hands behind his hands.
Gritting her teeth, Lexi had no choice but to take two steps back and threw a whip on Le Yu's back. There was a crisp sound, even though Le Yu had a good foundation, her body also trembled, and there was faint blood seeping out of her clothes.
However, he was also stubborn, gritting his teeth and not begging for mercy.
Lexi sighed and swung her whip down again. The sound of cracking came, and every time Le Yu was hit, his body would convulse unconsciously, his clothes were torn, and his back was covered with blood and flesh. Le Yu finally fainted after being whipped for thirty times. passed.
Among the onlookers, there were shepherds who were gloating and pointing at the misfortune at first. But as we get to the back, the surroundings become quieter. Seeing each blow of the whip hitting Le Yu, everyone's heart trembled.
Many people in the first row turned very pale, as if they were being slapped.
