Jian Sui Daye

At five o'clock, Gao Xing came to the barracks on time, and the sound of "dong dong dong" drums sounded just in time, but Shang Buqi was beating the drums.

The entire barracks became tense, the three-way drum was completed, and everyone stood in formation according to yesterday's establishment.Nodding happily and satisfied, he stepped onto the platform.

"You guys did a good job." He happily praised, and then said seriously: "The training will start next, and those who fail to meet the standard will not be allowed to eat!"

Everyone breathed hard. They hadn't participated in training for some days, and they didn't know what the standard of happiness looked like.

Happiness didn't give them much time to think. After leaving the logistics soldiers to cook, they took the platoon as a unit and led the team like a long dragon out of the barracks and started running.

After running, eat.Those who did not meet the standard and those who violated the queue discipline were directly disqualified from eating.

Then there is the queue training.Individual mistakes will affect the same class, or even the same platoon. In this way, all soldiers dare not be negligent and slack, for fear of causing public anger.

The sun is shining on the head, and the sweat is pouring out.The sun at the end of April in the lunar calendar is already quite basking in the sun. Standing motionless in a military posture is a tormenting and painful thing.Just when they wished they could faint and escape this boring training.Gao Fu came to the barracks, and the most important thing was that he brought chicken, duck, fish, and wine.

Gao Xing said in a timely manner: "Those who fail to meet the training standards and violate military orders will have no meat to eat, let alone wine!"

Everyone's face tightened, and each of them raised their chests high, serious and serious, as if they were on a stimulant, and their fighting spirit was high.

The day's training is not over until it is getting dark.The strong smell of meat and wine permeated the entire camp, and there were sounds of gobbling and wolfing down everywhere.If you are happy, you must practice what you say. About thirty people who are lazy in training and violate military orders can only drink a bowl of soup, and naturally they have no chance of drinking and meat.

After the meal, Gao Xing assembled all the teams and lectured on the general platform: "Soldiers, the first day of training is over, and your performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory. I don't criticize you, because in my heart you can only be counted as Recruits. Tell me, what is the bounden duty of a soldier?"

"Defend the family and the country." Some people replied loudly.

"wrong!"

Everyone was stunned, and shouted happily: "The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, obey, absolutely obey!"

"Absolutely obey!" Shang Buqi echoed and shouted.

"Absolute obedience! Absolute obedience!" Others also shouted and roared, and the rolling sound shook the ground.

After a day of hard training, the fatigue and grievances dissipated a lot in the roar. After everyone calmed down, he continued happily: "You can forget who you are, but you must never forget that you are a soldier. Your bounden duty is to Obey orders. If you want to eat meat every day, then train hard, those who don’t work hard are only worthy of chaff, do you understand?”

"clear--"

After disbanding the troops, it was already dark, so Gao Xing trotted all the way back home.

As soon as he entered the door, Zheng's voice of complaining and concern came: "Xing'er, why did you come back? Let my mother worry for a while! Come and eat!"

Gao Xing apologized and said: "Baby is not good, let mother worry. You eat quickly, I have eaten in the military camp."

"How can the food in the military camp compare to that at home? It's all your father's fault. You are still so young, so you are made to suffer so much." Mrs. Zheng complained to Gao Changgong.

Gao Changgong hurriedly called out: "Ma'am, Xing'er eats big fish and meat in the barracks, but it's not bad at all!"

Gao Xing frowned, puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Mother, Gan Luo is 12 years old, and the baby is 13 years old! A good man should straddle the horse and cross the sword, and make great achievements in the battlefield!"

Mrs. Zheng sighed helplessly, and said: "Father and mother are only one child of you, how can you be willing to suffer for you?"

"Mother, you don't have to worry, the baby will definitely take care of yourself, you can eat quickly." Gao Xing promised immediately, and then he left and hurried back to the room.Mrs. Zheng thought that being happy was exhausted, and looking at his back, her face was full of heartache.

Looking at the already dark night, and looking at Gao Xing's serious writing figure printed on the window, Mrs. Zheng frowned, biting her lower lip, and wanted to go in, but she was afraid of disturbing Gao Xing, so she didn't look at it again. Gao Changgong next to him.

Gao Changgong shook his head lightly, and said with emotion: "Xing'er has grown up, we should be happy. It's late, madam, let's go to bed early."

Gao Changgong took a deep look at the thin figure under the dim light, and pulled the worried Zheng away from the happy yard gently.

Early the next morning, Gao Xing showed up at the barracks on time, and ordered the training tasks to be the same as yesterday, and the acting instructor Shang Buqi supervised the training.Gao Xing believes that with the stimulation of wine and meat, and the strict supervision of monks, the training of soldiers must not be sloppy.After staying in the barracks for an hour, he turned back to the city when he was happy.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and there were more pedestrians on the street, but the war was approaching, and the city was far less lively than before, depressing and depressed.

As soon as he entered the gate of Neishi's mansion, Gao Fu greeted him, "Master, the person you asked to find, this old slave has already found him."

He smiled happily: "Uncle Fu, thank you for your hard work, you actually delivered the things there in person yesterday. Where is he? Take me there!"

Gao Fu said hello, and happily followed him out the door.After walking through the streets and alleys for a while, the two came to a dilapidated courtyard on the edge of the city.

Gao Fu knocked on the door, it opened, and a man about 50 years old came out.He is not tall, with a yellow and thin complexion, some sawdust still stained his messy beard and hair, and the clothes on his body have been mended again and again, and the original color has long been lost. It is obvious that life is very difficult.

"Who are you looking for?" the man asked suspiciously.

"Hi sir, I'm happy." Gao Xing introduced himself before Gao Fu could speak, stepped forward and said, "Are you Lu Ping, a master craftsman from Xuyi?"

The man shook his head and sighed: "Old Lu Ping, I don't dare to be a master craftsman, I just barely make a living, what's the matter, my lord?"

Gao Xing bowed his hands and said: "Mr. Lu, I would like to ask you to help build something. This is a deposit." Gao Xing said, and there was already a bulging money bag in his hand.

"I don't know what the young master wants to build?" Lu Ping just glanced at the money bag, then looked back and asked happily.

"Immortal, what are you asking so many for? Just accept it!"

While happy and surprised, a slightly pale hand snatched the money bag from his hand and hugged it tightly in his arms.The owner of that hand is a 23-year-old young man, with a pale face, sloppy footsteps, bloodshot eyes, greedy and excited eyes and a little madness.

"Nizi, what are you doing? Return the things to the young master!" Lu Ping shouted angrily, his face trembling and his beard trembling with anger.

"You old man, please make things for others, I'm leaving." The young man ignored him, left without saying a word.

"You—" Lu Ping was furious, a blush rose on his face, and he coughed violently.

"Sir!" Gao Xing stepped forward and patted his back gently.

When his breath calmed down, Lu Ping's face was gloomy, he sighed, looked at him with guilt and said happily: "Master, what do you want to build, I will definitely do my best!" After a pause, he said again: "Please come in and tell me, my humble house Ugly, neglected."

"You are welcome." Gao Xing shook his head and smiled and entered the yard.

After leaving Lu Ping's house, he returned home happily, plunged into his room, buried his head in the desk, and began to write quickly.

"Master, Master Hou called you to the front hall!" Uncle Fu's voice sounded.

"Understood, Uncle Fu." Gao Xing put down the brush in his hand, stretched his body, and sighed, "It's been a long time since I wrote so seriously!"

When I came to the hall, I was happy to find that besides Gao Changgong, there were ten other people in the hall, both old and strong, fat and thin, but they all had one characteristic, that is, they were all luxuriously dressed, their faces were shiny, and their lives were very nourishing.Gao Xing took a quick glance, the smile on the corner of his mouth was brighter, and he walked in with his head held high.

"Everyone, this is the dog's joy." Gao Changgong introduced to everyone with a smile.

"I've met Mr. Gao." Everyone stood up and saluted in a friendly manner.

"Everyone, you are welcome." Gao Xing cupped his fists, his eyes lightly touched everyone with gentle eyes, and then he retracted them.

This is Ren Nai, the wealthiest person in Xuyi County, and has considerable influence in Xuyi County.

After seeing the ceremony, I was happy to sit at the end, looked at Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong nodded imperceptibly, then coughed lightly, and said: "You are all rich and important people in Xuyi City, today I invite you to come here , but there are some things that need your help."

"Master Hou, you are too polite. If there is anything you need, it's okay to say it. As long as I can do what I can, it is my duty." The person sitting under Gao Changgong smiled and exchanged glances with the other nine people while talking.

This person's name is Zhang Cha, he is about sixty years old, but his beard and hair are dark and shiny, his face is rosy, and he is full of energy.He always had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes looked a little cloudy, but occasionally they opened and closed with a light of wisdom.

He is the oldest among the ten people and the richest merchant in Xuyi County.

"Boss Zhang said that I will still rely on Lord Hou in the future!"

"Master Hou just said it." The others echoed.

"Okay, I'll just say it straight." Gao Changgong sat up straight, the smile on his face faded away, his brows twisted into the word Chuan, and he said in a deep voice: "One hundred thousand people are pressing down on the situation, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo. Now it is close to Xuyi. Shiliang City, which is hundreds of miles away. However, the defenders in Xuyi County only have 500 people, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled. Those people are usually neglected in training, and their combat effectiveness is low. I can't even hold on for a day!"

Everyone looked at each other with serious expressions. Obviously, they knew the situation in Xuyi City well.

Zhang Cha, who was still Gao Changgong, said: "Master Hou, you are in charge of the entire Xuyi military administration, what do you think we should do?"

Gao Changgong said: "As the head of a county, I have a duty to protect the safety of this place. Therefore, I want to recruit brave people in the city, form an army and train them to resist foreign aggression. At the same time, repair the city wall, hoard supplies, Prepare early."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Gao Changgong shook his head and sighed: "However, the treasury is empty, and the rice and grain are not enough. I am really powerless." After speaking, Gao Changgong got up and saluted everyone, everyone stood up in shock, and panicked. requite.

"Master Hou, what are you doing?"

"Please hurry up, don't kill us."

Gao Changgong looked at the crowd eagerly, and sincerely begged: "Everyone, for the safety of tens of thousands of people in Xuyi County, I have the audacity to ask everyone to help me!" After finishing speaking, Gao Changgong bowed deeply to everyone.
