General Yu Ling

After that, after more than two months, under the careful care of Nie Wucheng, Shao Yu's injury has gradually healed, his complexion has become ruddy, and his figure is no longer the scrawny one before.

One day clear, a cavalry rushed to the barracks on horseback.

"Report!"

The cavalryman lifted the military tent, covered in dust, and knelt down on the ground.

"General, the emperor's urgent document has arrived."

Nie Wucheng was sitting on the top correcting the copywriting and paused.

"Say."

"General, a large wave of bandits broke out in Yuzhou in the south! The bandits have already captured Huai and Qiuli! The emperor wants the general to hurry and wipe out the bandits!"

Nie Wucheng put down his pen.

"Didn't the small group of bandits have already sent people to suppress it? How could they allow the situation to become like this?"

"General, the initial bandit rebellion did not attract much attention, but a pacifier was sent to suppress the bandits. In the end, they were all captured... Well, the condemned bandit even hung the corpses of the officers and soldiers on the city wall! The emperor was furious, It is imperative for the general to go to suppress the bandits immediately."

Nie Wucheng narrowed his eyes.

"Those rebels are just countrymen, how could they have such courage, there must be someone manipulating them behind this."

The cavalry said again, "Indeed, General, the rebels seem to have some kind of strange weapon, which is extremely lethal, which led to the annihilation of our army. The emperor wants you to investigate this matter."

Nie Wucheng stood up and stretched.

"I can't be free for a moment. Ding Ziqi!"

Ding Ziqi, who had been listening outside the tent, hurried in, "The subordinate is here."

"Reorganize the soldiers and horses, and go to Yuzhou immediately!"

When Shao Yu heard about this, he was still checking the military accounts.He was a little puzzled, "Let's go now?"

The attendant replied: "The emperor's urgent document has been issued, and there is no delay. We must go to Yuzhou to suppress the bandits immediately. The general asked you to pack some things, and you are about to leave immediately."

"I'll tidy up now, um...the four treasures of the general's study, take it. The general's grooming...bring...all the general's clothes, right?"

The attendant nodded, "Young Master Shao, you don't need to bring these things, the local county government will prepare them."

Shao Yu was a little dazed, "I think... these old things should be easier for the general to use."

Hearing this, the attendant didn't say any more.

This time the banditry operation happened suddenly, many soldiers were still discussing what to eat at noon, but in the morning they were already sitting on the carriages and horses heading to Yuzhou.

Most people didn't pay much attention to this bandit suppression.

After all, they have experienced all the wars at war between several countries. Didn't the soldiers think that a few bandits could cause any disturbance?After all, it will be suppressed by the court.

But they were wrong.

After rushing non-stop for two days and two nights, they finally arrived at Chao'an City near Yuzhou.

The prefect He is in charge of Chao'an City.When the judge bandits attacked the city, it was Taishou He who defended desperately, and was able to save Chao'an City.

When Nie Wucheng and others saw him, his eyes were bruised and his beard was thick with stubble, but he didn't have time to take care of it.He is thin and thin, and has not slept for several days, but he must wait until Nie Wucheng and the others arrive and tell Nie Wucheng all the news before going to rest.

Nie Wucheng was in the military tent, looking at the sand table on the table with a solemn expression.

Ding Ziqi beside him was also frowning and puzzled.

"General... the land occupied by the bandits can be retreated, attacked, or defended. Moreover, they are very smart. The area they occupy wraps Yuzhou City like an iron barrel, which is indestructible. It is really impossible to start."

The generals next to him also looked worried. The situation is indeed much more dangerous than imagined.

Nie Wucheng drew a trace on the sand table.

"Even if it is an iron barrel, there are gaps, not to mention that they are not an iron barrel. There is a ravine between Yuzhou and Huaidi. This ravine is overgrown with trees and deserted. If you are not familiar with it, it is easy to get lost. .”

Nie Wucheng said seriously, "It is basically impossible for the army to pass through that valley. The bandit will not put a lot of people there. Our goal this time is not to kill people, but to spy on the situation."

Nie Wucheng drew a circle, "I will select ten elites and put them in this place. According to the informant, the manpower in this valley will be replaced once in the evening, about half an hour later. We must find out where the bandits are stationed, but we must ensure that the task is completed without killing a single person, without leaving any clues."

Nie Wucheng said to several generals, "You select five people from your respective camps, and then I will screen them. Do it now."

"Yes! General."

Several generals worked very quickly, and after a while, everyone was there.

Five elites from several camps were selected, a total of 30 people.

Nie Wucheng didn't do anything, he just asked them a question.

"If you entered the ravine and searched for a long time in the ravine. Finally, you saw a faint fire not far away. Maybe you can go a few steps forward and find the place where the bandits are stationed. But the time has come, and Your general is already calling you to go back, you... go back? Or not to go back? Choose to go back and stand one step forward."

As soon as the words fell, eighteen people immediately took a step.

Nie Wucheng's eyes were obscure.

"You can be singled out among the many soldiers, there must be something special about you, but why... are you so timid."

Nie Wucheng added, "Blindly obeying orders will not lead to the greatest benefit and victory. Whether you choose to obey orders or believe in yourself, no one will know the result. You are not just puppets manipulated by the superior when the two armies are at war, you You have to be a person first, then a puppet."

Then those eighteen people were sent back.

Nie Wucheng walked up to the remaining twelve people and asked another question.

"If you see the enemy leader alone in the ravine, and you have sharp knives in your hands, do you kill or not? The person who decides to kill takes a step forward."

Four of the twelve came out.

"very good……"

"You go back."

Nie Wucheng stood in front of the remaining eight people.

"I've always been very casual. Although I'm looking for ten people, eight people are not bad. I believe that you will make the most correct decision at the most critical moment. I'm waiting for you to return in triumph. Go ahead. !"

After the eight people left, Ding Zixi came to Nie Wucheng, "General, I understand what your first question means, but what's your second question?"

Nie Wucheng rubbed his sore shoulder and walked into the tent.

"Confidence is a good thing, but stupidity is not a good thing."

Ding Zixi stood where he was, thinking for a long time by himself.Then he clapped his palms together and realized suddenly.

"Oh, that's amazing, as expected of a general!"

In fact, Nie Wucheng didn't take this bandit chaos too seriously.

It's just a few behind-the-scenes people manipulating these rural peasants.However, the behind-the-scenes manufacturer of that weapon must be found out.

He looked at the seized bandit weapons this morning. At that time, he was just thinking that if this person is not eliminated, it will be a serious disaster, and it is not just a danger to the country.

Nie Wucheng returned to the military tent and studied the sand table for a while.

I just feel hungry, but I don't want to eat the rough food in the army. I have always had a bad appetite, but he forced himself to eat it in the army.

But he was in a bad mood today, and he didn't want to make do with those things, he was in a difficult situation.

Shao Yu came in from outside the tent, holding a tray in his hand, hesitating for a while.

"General, I think the lunch made by those cooks is too simple, so I thought that the general has been so tired these days, and I want to cook a little better meal for the general, and I don't know what the general likes to eat... If the general If you don't like it, this subordinate will withdraw it."

Nie Wucheng glanced into the tray.

There is a large bowl of lotus seed Huiren rice porridge, a plate of shredded chicken and white fungus, a small bowl of almond bean curd, a plate of bamboo salt shrimp and wild rice in pepper oil.

There is even a glass of crispy buckwheat fruit wine that is sweet, mellow and oil-free.

Don't ask me why a general in Nie Wucheng knows so much about eating. Once Nie Wucheng's father, Mr. Nie Laohou, and his wife, once affirmed that their son would be a chef in the future.

Nie Wucheng was stunned.

"I didn't expect that! Shao Yu! You are really hiding something! Well done, you will be my private chef from now on. Don't be afraid, I will triple your monthly military salary!"

Shao Yu smiled shyly, "This subordinate doesn't know what the general likes to eat, and this subordinate is going to ask the military adviser."

In fact, if Nie Wucheng thought about it carefully at that time, he would have doubts.

Even if Shao Yu's status is low now, he used to be a son of a rich family, how could he cook exquisite meals so skillfully.
