Chapter 251 Ten Thousand People

As the backbone of the Ding Navy, the veterans of northern Xinjiang are all fierce and full of ferocity, and they can be called proud soldiers.Especially in the days after the war, when the blood of the soldiers has not faded, it is very common to talk nonsense and make some guesses about military affairs when discussing with each other.

Zhang Qian's elder brother, Zhang Jiao, was an old friend of Wang Shixian, and had acquaintance with Guo Ning once.In the battle of defending the camp, Zhang Qian himself led his troops to repel the onslaught of the Mongolian army many times.Until all the subordinates were killed or injured, they fought to the death, and finally fainted in the pile of corpses due to excessive bleeding.

After the battle was won, the soldiers cleaned the battlefield, only to find that he was alive and not dead.

Such a deed, even among his comrades with the same combat exploits, is one of the more heroic ones.Guo Jiedu also praised him specifically, so everyone knew that Zhang Qian's future was not bad, so he had little scruples when he spoke.

But Wang Shixian was angry, and Zhang Qian immediately faltered.

Wang Shixian was a bit soft-tempered at first, but when he moved to the Shijunhe camp, he couldn't handle so many soldiers and civilians, and he still needed the young lady of the Lu family to come forward to support him.This matter has been passed on as a laughing stock by the soldiers.

But after the battle in Haicang Town, Wang Shixian used more than 600 soldiers to gather ordinary people and withstood the onslaught of several thousand households of the Mongolian army; with hundreds of thousands of casualties of his own soldiers and civilians, he exchanged many lives of the Mongolian army... ...that's pretty cool!
The soldiers admired his tenacious command and were afraid of his ruthlessness in his eyes. Who would dare to take the big in front of Wang Shixian?Only a few mid-level officers felt sorry for the soldiers, and dared to take advantage of the resumption of the battle to yell a few words, wouldn't they be put down by Lao Wang now?

Zhang Qian laughed dryly: "Commander, I have no excuses, I really have a backache today! I don't have any appetite today! I'm also in a bad mood! I'm going to sleep right now!"

When he wanted to explain a few more words, Wang Shixian turned around with a straight face and left.

The whole camp was silent for a moment, and several soldiers quietly moved away to keep themselves away from Zhang Qian.

"Ahem... what are you guys doing! Everyone is discussing together, is it all my fault?"

Zhang Qian cried out in pain.

Not long after, two soldiers came clangingly: "Who is Zhang Qian?"

According to the rules of the Ding Navy, unless it is in wartime, the punishment of officers and soldiers above the level of baton and confinement is in the hands of the military judge.Zhao Jue, the leader of Guo Ning's personal guard, was also serving as the military judge, and the person in charge of law enforcement was also specially selected.

However, even Zhao Jue would not refute Wang Shixian's face.As the most senior leading general, Wang Shixian didn't need to take care of a small senior.

"It's me." Zhang Qian sighed, "I'm going with the two of you now, please show some mercy and don't tie me up!"

Ding Navy enforces the law very strictly, Guo Ning seems to be laughing with the officers and soldiers, and never hesitates to behead anyone who violates the military law.Since law enforcement officers came forward, there is nothing to argue about.

Fortunately, the military laws and regulations are very clear, and they are preached to the soldiers every now and then, so there is no such thing as punishment for not teaching.Zhang Qian reckoned that Wang Shixian would not be furious because of his absence from the review. Most likely, he really believed in a certain major policy of the military government, and it was only natural for him to be confined for a few days.

Three days of confinement passed in a blink of an eye.

In the small confinement room, Zhang Qian punched in the dark, stretched his legs, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the wounds on his body still hurt, they didn't affect his movements much.It was luck, he didn't suffer any serious injuries during the fierce fighting on the battlefield for several days.Only a big scar on his face was more serious... that was drawn by himself in order to motivate the soldiers after his brother died in battle.

As for excessive blood loss, it was nothing to a warrior.Now that the food is generous, there is meat in every meal, and Zhang Qian recovers his physical strength very quickly after a few days of eating and sleeping. He is still the good man full of energy.

Footsteps came from outside the confinement room.

Looking at the light coming through the skylight, it's not past noon yet, which general gave me the grace to release him early?

Zhang Qian's appearance is very handsome. Although he has scars, he doesn't look ugly, but has a unique rigid temperament.He valued his own appearance on weekdays, and even after being confined, he didn't want to show others a distressed appearance; so he hurriedly straightened his robe, cheered himself up, and then lifted the hem of the robe to wipe his face.

Still the two soldiers in charge of military law came and opened the door, leading Zhang Qian out.

"The confinement is over. General Zhang Shi, please come with us."

Zhang Qian hurriedly followed, and found that they did not go back to the camp where the soldiers rested in the military fort, but went out.

Zhang Qian frowned and asked tentatively, "Both brothers, where are we going?"

The two soldiers ignored him.

After all, Zhang Qian had just suffered a loss, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

After walking a few more steps, several familiar soldiers who were in the camp before were laughing and waiting beside them, stuffing a packed package into Zhang Qian's arms.As soon as Zhang Qian touched it, he knew that the package contained his personal belongings and his usual short knife.

What is this?Am I fired?Shouldn't it?Wang Shixian, you old bastard, why did you come to this?
Zhang Qian wanted to yell at him in an instant, but he saw those soldiers walking beside him with winks and eyes, and they all said: "Lao Zhang has been promoted, remember to buy wine when you come back! Hahaha!"

high rise?Drinks?
Where did Gao Sheng come from?Why are you going to ask for a drink?
Zhang Qian wanted to ask clearly, but his footsteps were a little slow, but the armored soldiers in front were walking sonorously, and they had already gone far.He hurriedly held the package and trotted to keep up.

Running to the empty field in front of the military castle, Zhang Qian stopped suddenly.

I saw a line of soldiers and horses in the empty field.

One after another the flags fluttered in the wind, like a forest of spears held high, the top blades shone coldly in the early winter sun, below the flags and spears were rows of soldiers.

Zhang Qian could tell at a glance that many of those soldiers were from the original Laizhou households.Although there are a few who killed the enemy and made meritorious service under Guo Zhongyuan, they received special awards.But most of them have very low level of training, and their standing postures and methods of holding spears and spears are different from each other.

It should be that they have just trained, many people have sweat on their foreheads, and their breathing is a bit rough.But at this moment, the whole team stood in place, motionless.Occasionally, a few soldiers would twist their bodies uneasily, but they were immediately stopped by the stern eyes of the officers.

Serene officers stood in front of each group of soldiers, staring at the soldiers of their subordinates.Many of those generals, captains, lieutenants, etc. are Zhang Qian's acquaintances.

Zhang Qian followed the two soldiers and stood beside the queue.Not far from him, some common people were watching. Obviously the soldiers did nothing, but they applauded and cheered from time to time.Zhang Qian was a little embarrassed, and tried to raise his hand to greet the old acquaintance, but no one paid attention to him.

At this moment, several people came out of the queue safely.

The leader is Guo Ning.

"Sword skills and spear skills are unfamiliar, and they can't be practiced in three to five days. The array is even more ugly. It took a few times to make it like this, and it fell apart as soon as you walked around. But..."

Guo Ning turned to look at the soldiers: "The new soldiers are all in good physique; they have also killed people, have courage, and blood. If you have these two items, you can slowly practice the others. You should train with all your heart. Don't relax either."

Accompanying Guo Ning was Xiao Mole, a Khitan man with a strong body and banded legs.

Xiao Mole nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Shuai Jie!"

Guo Ning saw Zhang Qian, laughed, and beckoned, "Come on!"

Zhang Qian threw the package away and hurried forward to salute.

Guo Ning took Zhang Qian's arm and asked him to stand in front of Xiao Mole: "The three generals that are missing in your department, including him, will be all there."

"One is the leader of the scouts, Zhang Hui who is known as Sai Zhang Fei, and the other is Guo Alin, Guo Zhongyuan's capable subordinate. You have seen both of them. The third is this person, Zhang Qian, Wang Shixian's subordinate."

Guo Ning patted Zhang Qian on the shoulder, and said to Xiao Mole: "When Zhang Qian was guarding Haicang Town, he stabbed his face with a knife to inspire the soldiers to fight to the end, stick to the city gate and never retreat. The number of soldiers. Lao Wang said that it was the most tenacious and daring feat he had ever seen in his life, and he could be the mainstay of the whole army."

He turned to Zhang Qian: "Old Wang has recommended me several times, saying that you have the talent to lead the army. You are not only a general, but also a lieutenant and a general. That's very good. Now that the new army is formed, you will be Come to be a general. Your brother, Zhang Jiao, is my old friend. He has a spirit in heaven, and he must be happy to see this scene... You have to work hard, don't let your brother be ashamed."

Speaking of this, Guo Ning chuckled twice, and leaned into Zhang Qian's ear: "From now on, don't talk nonsense, and don't be frivolous, do you understand?"

In the ranks of generals behind him, there was an unstoppable sound of rustling, which was the envy of many people.The expansion of the army will indeed bring opportunities for promotion, and many people know that Zhang Qian, who has made great achievements, will definitely be of great use.But from a general to a general, he jumped three levels in a row, what a treat!
Zhang Qian couldn't help the corners of his eyes getting wet. He knelt down on the ground, pressed his hands on the withered yellow weeds, and touched his forehead to the ground: "Zhang Qian understands! Zhang Qian is willing to die for Jieshuai!"
