Chapter 204: Fighter is a Thought
"How is it possible? There is a tall and thin person in the Xiaocheng realm in a small Yinren Village!"
"General Yao, you can't talk nonsense to get yourself off the hook!"
"There is no joke in the army!"
…
For a time, all the generals in the camp spoke out and reprimanded him.
"Quiet!" Ji Rentu said angrily, suppressing the commotion of the crowd.
The bald man looked at the young man kneeling under the stage and asked softly: "Can you see clearly?"
Yao Jingshun raised his head, looked directly into the opponent's eyes, and said firmly: "That kind of domineering aura cannot be possessed by a warrior at the Invasion Realm."
What the young man in black armor didn't say was: The opponent's internal energy fluctuations are much more powerful than General, who is at the peak of his career!
Fortunately, Ji Rentu understood what the young cavalry officer meant, nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Go to the Military Law Office and get one hundred and three military sticks for yourself!"
The young cavalryman immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, General!"
After that, he stood up and walked out of the tent, and soon a powerful banging sound came from outside! The faces of all the generals in the account were ashen.
The military sticks of the Military Law Department do not allow warriors to use their inner strength to resist, so each stick is really hit on the flesh. For ordinary soldiers, ten military sticks can break the skin and flesh, and thirty military sticks can Kill people.
However, martial arts practitioners have tough muscles and bones after all, but even the martial arts practitioners at the peak of the Mang Realm are rarely able to withstand the Eighty Army Staff. As for the warriors in the chivalrous realm, everyone's situation is very different, so the gap is huge, but no matter what kind of chivalrous person they are, these one hundred and three military sticks are a big deal for any warrior in the chivalrous realm. punishment.
After a while, the sound of banging military sticks outside the camp ended. An armored soldier walked into the tent, half-kneeling at the door of the tent and said: "Your Majesty, General Yao Qi has completed the punishment with the military stick, but he has fainted. What are we going to do with it in the past?”
Ji Rentu frowned and said as if he was shooing away flies: "You still need to ask me this? Carry him back to the barracks and find a doctor to take a look at him."
The armored soldiers immediately bowed and obeyed the order.
It was only when these words came out that everyone in the tent understood why Zhang Heng had to speak out to save the situation. After all, the black-armored man is a master of the chivalrous realm. Although there are many warriors of this level in Luoye City, they are not so common that they can be slaughtered at will.
Although Ji Rentu was never merciless towards his enemies and earned the title of "Rentu", it was because of his cruelty to enemies and traitors. But for the people around him, the man has always been a general with clear distinctions between rewards and punishments, and a combination of strength and softness. Otherwise, how could there be any soldiers who would sacrifice their lives for him?
Since the bald man wanted to keep this person, Zhang Heng's favor was really good. Thinking of this, several rough and unscrupulous men in the tent secretly made up their minds that next time they couldn't understand something, they would follow the middle-aged scribe's path.
…
Before everyone in the tent could think wildly, someone outside the tent announced: "General, General Liu Qi and General Zhu Qi have returned to camp. We have something to report!"
The bald man suddenly became energetic and said in a deep voice: "Let them come in."
Soon two men walked into the camp.
The first man is not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall. He is in middle age. He is wearing red armor with the same style as Yao Jingshun. He has a capable look on his face. This man's surname is Liu, and his last name is "Dong". He is one of the four cavalry generals under Ji Rentu. Despite his short stature, he is an extremely smart general.
The person who came in behind him was a young man wearing white armor. He was younger than Liu Dong. This man looked like a scholar, but he had a chivalrous level of cultivation. People did not dare to underestimate the strength of the man.
"General, meet the general!" The two came to the tent and knelt down together to worship.
"Haha, don't be so polite, get up and talk!" Ji Rentu ordered with a smile. Naturally, he could tell that these two people had actually arrived a long time ago, but when they saw Yao Jingshun being punished, they didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to come in.
The soldier who came to inquire before was probably instigated by them. After learning about their intention to protect General Yao, the two of them informed others.
But these are all trivial matters, and the bald man is not worried about these little tricks of his subordinates.
Liu Dong first held up his hands and said: "Living up to the general's trust, the general has sent his subordinates to enter Tiexin Village. They will arrive at Tiexin Village tomorrow, and then they will be able to obtain the latest first-hand information."
Ji Rentu nodded. His side was far behind Yinren Village in terms of intelligence. After all, the subtle changes in the salary list over the years had allowed the other side to establish an unbreakable intelligence organization throughout Luoye County. So he had to take action personally and rely on the local snakes hiding in Luoye City to get intelligence information. How about talking about the Year of the Monkey?
Zhu Wen also reported back: "According to the general's arrangements, the elite under the general's command have entered Tiexin territory and are ready to strike the enemy in the back at any time!"
The two men led troops to attack along the border of Tiexin Village. They did not choose a large camp to attack like Yao Jingshun, so naturally they encountered no resistance in the whole process. At this time, Zhang Heng lowered his body again and said:
"Liu Qijiang and Zhu Qijiang must pay attention. Before, General Yao fought with the enemy and found that the opponent had warriors who were at the level of Xiaxia Xiaocheng. If they find that something is impossible or the risk is extremely high, the two generals will listen to Zhang. If you say that, no matter how the enemy changes, I will not move!"
Although the two of them saw the middle-aged scholar saying this, they quickly bowed and thanked him. Regardless of Zhang Heng's position as the army's staff officer, which was higher than most of the generals present, his status as a commander-in-chief and counselor made him naturally have the characteristics of supervising the army.
"Mr. Zhang, there is something I don't understand and I would like to ask for advice." Ji Rentu touched his chin and asked aloud.
"Oh? General, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything you know!" The middle-aged scribe bowed.
"My husband once said that day, don't be too hasty in using troops this time. Don't ask for merit, but ask for no faults!" The bald man touched his bald head and sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't listen, which led to the defeat of Invesco in the first battle. I am also responsible for the defeat!"
Having said this, all the soldiers in the camp cupped their hands and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers, and the general does not need to worry about it."
Ji Rentu did not explain any more and continued to ask: "At this moment, according to Sir's wishes, should we use our troops hastily? Or should we do it slowly?"
The bald man's meaning was actually very clear. In the previous battle, he blamed himself for being too eager for quick success, allowing Yao Jingshun to rush into the local territory with more than 200 vanguard troops, which led to a huge defeat. So let’s make up for it and talk about how to fight the next battle? Should we quickly send troops to suppress the opponent, or should we station troops at the border to confront them and report back to the governor?
Zhang Heng glanced at the people present and said with a smile: "There are clouds in the art of war, and military movements are like mountains! There are also clouds in the art of war, and military movements are like rivers! Movement and immobility are just a matter of a thought. An old friend often asked, what is a thought?"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged scholar said solemnly: "A thought is a fighting opportunity, and a fighting opportunity is a thought! If the cause and effect are not known, the fighting opportunity is fleeting. If the general asks me at this time, he should use urgent troops to slow down the troops. I can only say that the fighting opportunity is gone. Now, rush your troops to defeat it!"
