Chapter 142 Go to the battlefield and share life and death!
Zong Yanli nodded slightly and said, "Then go and take a look."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and looked at Gongsun Pu and asked, "Is the young master of the Zhan family here too?"
"Yes, but Mr. Wujiu is not in the army. He went to Changfeng County to wander around." Gongsun Pu was helpless. Wujiu was the elegant name of Zhan Haoyue, so he lived by the motto of 'a person without fault is one who is good at making up for his mistakes', so he was called Mr. Wujiu.
Mr. Wujiu is over thirty-four years old, but he is always restless. When he arrived at Yuanshi Pass, he did not think about paying a visit to Zong Yanli as soon as possible, but wandered around like a wandering knight.
Gongsun Pu felt a little embarrassed as he had not received any news from his good friend since he went to Changfeng County, but he was unable to persuade him.
"It's okay." Zong Yanli didn't think it was a big deal. He didn't have to worry about neglecting this gentleman.
"Then let's go meet the leader of Fu Village first." Zong Yanli called Huo Wenqi to go meet Fu Jiashi together.
When they reached the hillside, they saw a simple mountain village that had been built. Even Zong Yanli was stunned when he saw it. He blinked and saw two people carrying wood and working shirtless while building it.
Zong Yanli was a little confused. Could it be that the leader of the Fu Village was planning to build a mountain stronghold here?
And it’s built right next to the military camp?
This……
Zong Yanli was full of confusion. Huo Wenqi had already walked forward. When the guard at the door heard that it was Zong Yanli who came, he jumped up in surprise and ran inside to pass on the message.
Not long after, Zong Yanli saw a young man walking out of the village surrounded by a crowd of people.
Zong Yanli squinted her eyes and saw a completely unfamiliar face. The village chief came out and his eyes fell on Zong Yanli. He looked at her military armor and finally his gaze fell on the long sword slung on Zong Yanli's waist. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"My humble name is Fu Jia Shi, nice to meet you, General!" Fu Jia Shi strode forward, lifted his robe, knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.
"Master Fu, please stand up quickly." Zong Yanli hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and helped him up.
"Captain, have you met our general?" Huo Wenqi was very surprised to see Fu Jiashi's expression before he even had the chance to introduce him.
"I have heard of the general's name for a long time." Fu Jiashi smiled, and said with a slightly complicated expression: "I have been waiting for the general's recruitment order, and finally I have waited for it."
Zong Yanli was even more puzzled after hearing this. He looked at Fu Jiashi and asked, "How did Village Master Fu know about me?"
Fu Jiashi paused, as if hesitant, and after a while he said, "General, do you still remember Jin Da, the captain under General Peng Deqing of the Left Camp of Pingnan Camp?"
When Fu Jia Shi said this familiar name, Zong Yanli was stunned. How could she have forgotten it?
Fu Jia Shi reached out and took off the long sword hanging on his waist. Zong Yanli took a closer look and realized that the sword in Fu Jia Shi's hand was so familiar.
"This sword is called Wulong." Fu Jiashi held the long sword in his hand and said, "Jinda is my junior brother. We were both disciples of our master when we were young. Our master gave us two swords. My junior brother's sword is called Baifeng, but it was broken on the battlefield."
"I heard the news that my junior brother died in battle, so I rushed to the Jin family..."
"I heard from others that Junior Brother and the General fought side by side, and the General protected Junior Brother until his death, which is why Junior Brother's body was intact."
"General, I am extremely grateful for your kindness." Fu Jiashi's throat rolled when he said this, and he knelt down again and bowed to Zong Yanli.
Zong Yanli raised his hand to support him, and thought of the battle again. His eyes were filled with complexity. After a long while, he said, "I'm sorry that I couldn't save Jin Da..."
Fu Jiashi's eyes were clear, and he said calmly, "The general has done a lot. Junior brother died so gloriously on the battlefield, and I am proud of him."
Huo Wenqi stood aside and asked in confusion: "Since you brothers are from the same sect, why did you take two different paths?"
Fu Jia Shi was somewhat helpless. This was a long story.
Fu Jia Shi invited Zong Yanli and his party into this simple mountain village, and then talked about the past. It turned out that Fu Jia Shi had left the mountain very early, because he had arranged a childhood engagement, so he went down the mountain to get married. The two of them agreed to travel around the world together in the future and do justice.
But some things happened later. After Fu Jia Shi came down the mountain, he learned that something had happened in Qingmei's family. The local landlord had forcibly abducted the girl to be his concubine, but the landlord was a playboy and had played too much, so he killed the girl. In the end, he relied on his power and wealth to get away with it.
"I killed someone accidentally, and then killed some soldiers while fleeing, so I became a bandit." Fu Jia Shi told the story in just a few words. Even after so much time had passed, Fu Jia Shi still felt his heart bleeding when he talked about it.
"I committed a serious crime and then escaped. I can't join the army with the imperial court, so I can only find a way to survive in the world."
Soon the war intensified, and Fu Jia Shi really did what he said, "acting chivalrously and righteously." Over the years, under his management, Tianlei Village was almost like an army guarding one side.
Jinda is different from Fu Jiashi. Jinda joined the army seriously.
Zong Yanli was also deeply moved after hearing this. Back to the Tianlei Village of Fu Jiashi, it was amazing that all the 2,000 people in the village were teenagers. After learning more about them, he realized that these people were from Fanhe and surrounding areas, and some were refugees or travelers.
"They are all suffering people." Fu Jiashi sighed and said, "The wars are getting more and more frequent, and the people are having a hard time."
Fu Jiashi's style of doing things is quite chivalrous. After he gradually gained power in the Fanhe area, he naturally attracted a group of people.
It was difficult at the beginning, and the people naturally hated these bandits the most. But over time they discovered that the people of Tianlei Village were really good people. They never collected tolls from civilians, and sometimes they would even help push carts and transport goods when they met old farmers.
Gradually, the reputation spread. With the establishment of Tianlei Village in Fanhe, the people of Fanhe finally felt safe and no longer had to worry about encountering bad guys when going out alone.
Even if they encountered trouble, they would not go to the government to report the case, but would go to Tianlei Village to file a complaint first.
Such strange things made Tianlei Village more and more famous, so much so that many bandits in Longchuan area defected here, and the number of people increased.
These are the ones left after Fu Jia Shi’s careful selection, otherwise there would probably be more people.
"I couldn't be more happy that the general has recruited us!" Fu Jiashi stood up and bowed to Zong Yanli again, saying, "General, please accept my brothers!"
"A hero's origin is not important. How can I refuse the desire of Fu Village Master to serve his country?" Zong Yanli stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with admiration: "The brothers in Tianlei Village have all followed you all the way here."
"Now they are still under your command, and Tianlei Village has been reorganized into the Tianlei Army."
"From now on, you will lead them to the battle, to live and die together!"
Fu Jia Shi was deeply moved when he heard this. He knew the origins of these brothers very well, which could not be explained in a few words. If they were really to be incorporated into the army, he would have greeted his brothers in advance.
However, no one expected that Zong Yanli had no intention of disbanding or reorganizing the group, and even directly let Fu Jiashi take charge.
This is equivalent to telling Fu Jiashi that if he feels that Zong Yanli is not the commander he wants to follow, he can leave at any time.
Fu Jia Shi had heard of Zong Yanli a long time ago, and had a good impression of him because of Jin Da's affairs. Now he finally got to see the real person. This was their first meeting, and Fu Jia Shi couldn't help but be impressed by him. He was so moved that he expressed his determination to follow him.
"General Fu, please stand up." Zong Yanli changed his words and said, "Although the general has military talent, I'm afraid the construction of military defenses still needs to be improved."
"The Tianlei Army camp will be expanded from the main camp, so there is no need to continue building this mountain stronghold, right?" Zong Yanli took a look at this extremely simple stronghold, most of the padding inside was made of animal skins, and said with a smile.
"All is up to the general!" Fu Jiashi was very happy and agreed immediately.
Zong Yanli was not stingy at all. He asked Fu Jiashi about the military equipment used by the people in the village. After counting the number of people, he turned around and asked Huo Wenqi to collect the military equipment and supplies and send them over.
Fu Jiashi was shocked again when he saw the large amount of military supplies. He originally thought that Zong Yanli would wait until he saw with his own eyes that he and his men killed the enemy and made great contributions before distributing the military equipment to them. He never expected that Zong Yanli trusted him so much and gave him so much military supplies without hesitation.
If he meets a black-hearted person who takes the things and runs away, wouldn’t Zong Yanli be doomed?
Fu Jiashi squatted in front of these military supplies. He had never seen such a scene before and was already worried: "From now on, you must keep an eye on our general. If there are others who come to surrender, you must keep an eye on them."
Otherwise, even your pants will be stolen.
Otherwise, how can we say that our great general comes from a clan?
Fu Jiashi thought deeply, and then distributed the military supplies one by one. By the way, he also followed Huo Wenqi's instructions and started to build the camp.
Although Zong Yanli never made harsh demands on his subordinates, they still had to abide by military laws and regulations.
Since Fu Jia Shi was recruited by Huo Wenqi, Zong Yanli naturally assigned Huo Wenqi to Fu Jia Shi to teach him the military rules, some military training, camp defense system, military flags, military orders and other related things.
"General, did your trip to the capital go smoothly?" In the main tent, Zong Yanli took off his helmet and visor, and looked at the pile of military affairs on the table, feeling overwhelmed.
"Sir, you are asking this even though you already know the answer." Zong Yanli sighed, strode to the desk and sat down, flipping through the military affairs on the table and answered without raising his head.
"Hahaha..." Gongsun Pu immediately smiled and congratulated Zong Yanli.
"Has there been any developments in Qing Kingdom recently?" Zong Yanli asked, raising his eyes slightly.
"I haven't seen them yet. But it's not a good idea for General to keep the chief general of Qing Kingdom locked up. How do you plan to deal with those two?" Gongsun Pu asked with raised eyebrows.
Zong Yanli then remembered that she had almost forgotten about this matter. She looked at the military affairs on the table again and couldn't help but sighed and said, "Keep him locked up for another two days."
