The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 612 Six hundred one: Duan Wuji punishes Xu Maogong

Before long, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu came in humming a little tune.

Tieniu smiled and said: "Second brother! My brother Chai sent someone to urge us two brothers to go back!
Now that the city of Hefei has been captured, I think we brothers can go back, lest we brothers will cause trouble in your barracks again! "

Li Shimin grinned when he heard this.

"It's true that the city of Hefei has been captured! However, the enemies in this city have escaped a lot!
I think you two should start well and end well!How could you leave so much trouble for my brother and me!

Do you think it makes sense? "

Tie Niu blinked his eyes twice after hearing this, and opened his mouth twice but did not speak.

Duan Wuji looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "Second brother! It's no problem for us to help you wipe out this rebel army.

But, you can't help but record military achievements for us brothers!

The two of us belong to the army of the West Road. To be honest, we don’t have our names in the army of the East Road. If you say that we two brothers risked our lives and didn’t get any military achievements in the end, it’s not too bad. what! "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"Don't worry, you two virtuous brothers, you have made such great achievements in my army, can I not write it in the credit book!

You don't have to worry about this, you have made such great contributions, how can I not register you! "

At this moment, news came back from the several armies that were chasing the fleeing army. These people fled to a small sand state and were surrounded by Li Shimin's army.

These people are rushing to build fortifications, ready to do the final fight!

People from all walks of life asked Li Shimin what to do, Li Shimin smiled wryly.

"I have given up the marshal to Duan Wuji, as the saying goes, if you are not in his position, you will not seek his own affairs.

What are you asking me about this?

You should still ask him!

He is resourceful, must have that good solution. "

This Li Shimin really knows how to play football, he kicked the ball to Duan Wuji again.

The messenger of the Four Route Army came over.

"Marshal Duan, what do you think we should do about this?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this.

"Before I leave, before I leave, I have to be the marshal for a few days.

Alas, there is really no way! "

Duan Wuji looked at the four people and asked: "How many of them are left? How big is the area of ​​Shazhou?"

"Returning to Marshal Duan, the sandbar is five or six miles long and wide, and the water on all sides is not narrow!

There is a trail more than ten feet wide connected to the land in the north, and the small island has been dug up by them now!
If our army wants to pass, it is very difficult now.

They now have as many as 5 to [-] people, and that's all.

Marshal Duan, you better make a decision! "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "When you go back, tell the generals that everyone must strictly defend themselves and never let them escape.

If they run away from which position, the general over there can come to see him!

Go back and tell everyone, don't rush to attack, just surround them.

Well, you guys hurry back! "

After hearing this, these people had no choice but to go back and report.

After dismissing these people, Duan Wuji sat lazily on a chair, drinking tea leisurely, nothing happened at all!

Seeing this, Xu Maogong smiled and said, "Brother, you are quite comfortable being a marshal!

After hearing this, Duan Wuji put down his tea bowl, Xu Junshuai, I have a job for you to do!

This job is for you! "

Xu Maogong stood up after hearing this.

"Marshal Duan, as long as I, Xu Maogong, can do it, I will definitely do it seriously!

Marshal Duan, just give orders! "

"I found out that the latrines in this yamen should be cleaned out, so I'll leave this job to you, go and clean out the toilets!

Lest you feel uncomfortable here idle! "

This Xu Maogong wanted to disobey his orders, but on second thought, it's all my fault for talking too much!

Duan Wuji is too bad a kid, I haven't said a word about him yet!He just gave me such a hand, it seems that this kid is really easy to mess with!

well!Such a rascal, I'd better provoke him!

As soon as Li Shimin saw it, he knew that Wuji thought he was talking too much just now, so Li Shimin hurried over when he saw it.

"Brother, Master Xu is a man of great talent, why did you let him do this?

Does this not give in to his talent!Simply send a few soldiers to do it. "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"I have issued an order, so it can be changed! Master Xu, hurry up! Don't delay this important event! If you delay my general order, I will definitely punish you severely!

go now! "

Master Xu walked out with his head down, but Li Shimin couldn't help it if he was in a hurry!

After Xu Maogong went out, Li Shimin looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Oh! I said brother, just because he said something to you just now, are you going to punish him like this?"

Duan Wuji blinked his eyes.

"Second brother, what do I call treating him! I'm looking for a job for him."

"Then what if he can't complete the task!"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Is there any good in disobeying the military order! If he dares to deliberately disobey my military order, then I will really make his life worse than death. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

Li Shimin was taken aback.

"Brother, you won't kill him for me with an excuse!"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"I won't kill him for such a trivial matter, but I will feed him two bowls of dung soup when the time comes!"

Li Shimin sat down on the chair after hearing this, and said in his heart: "This paragraph of Wuji is really powerful, if you really pour two bowls of dung soup, it will not be much better than killing him!

My brother can do it if he can say it! "

Li Shimin wanted to tell that Xu Maogong, but he hated that Xu Maogong had been in his barracks for so long and hadn't given him a good idea. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Maogong!

Heart said: Military division!Military division, let me see what you do today?Don't mess with me about this!I didn't ask you to do this either!

An hour later, Xu Maogong walked in.

"Marshal, Xu Mao's bus order, I've already cleaned up that toilet, can you go see it!"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Forget it, just clean it up! I don't need to look at it, Mr. Xu, sit down and drink tea!"

Li Shimin was taken aback.

"I said Mr. Xu, did you really dig out the toilet? You really belonged to me!"

Xu Maogong smiled wryly after hearing this.

"The marshal has already issued an order, how dare I resist? I calculated just now, if I disobey the order, the marshal will not order my life, but the marshal will reward me with two bowls of dung soup drink!

I know how lucky I am to endure that!I dare not disobey this old man! "

Duan Wuji couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw that this bull-nosed man had really figured it out!

"Mr. Xu, you're a good guy. I used to say that you have such talents, but I didn't believe it at first. When I saw you today, it's true!"

When Li Shimin saw that Xu Maogong was really talented, he couldn't help asking him: "I said, Master Xu, Wuji has refused to use troops these two days. Haven't you figured out why?"

Xu Maogong smiled.

"I don't have any reason to count it! After I counted it, I realized that it is really not suitable for military use in these three or two days!

The enemy has already retreated to Shazhou. If they attack by force, many soldiers will surely die!

If they are trapped for three days or a few days, if the enemy uses up the supplies in Shazhou and sends a lobbyist, the enemy will surrender!

Without weapons, we can get tens of thousands more soldiers out of thin air, which is no better than fighting!
No wonder the marshal was angry with me and asked me to go to the toilet, I didn't panic at all!

Who told us that our intelligence was uncivilized before!

Marshal Duan, I, Xu Maogong, have admitted my mistake to you. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Mr. Xu, if you have a talented person like you to help my second brother, wouldn't it be strange if my second brother doesn't win the battle again!
Come, come, let's sit down and talk. "
