Overlord!

Chapter 8 How Sun Lang's Army Was Forged
After dinner, a bonfire was lit in the camp. Except for the [-] soldiers on guard, the remaining [-] people sat beside the bonfire.

It is not a combat formation, less than 3000 people sitting together actually occupy a small area, less than half of the playground.

The soldiers were all huddled around the bonfire. At this time, they were full of food and drink, and of course dirty jokes were indispensable.

The veterans spoke in public, and a group of teenage soldiers listened silly.Many young people have never hugged a woman's soft body in their lives. Just listening to the vulgar accents of the veterans makes their excited hearts beat violently, as if there is a fire burning in their chest, hotter than the bonfire.

This was probably one of the happiest moments in their lives. They finally filled their stomachs with hot rice, their bodies were warm, and they could relax and think about women.

When the bonfires were extinguished and the winter chill fell on them and their bodies were stiff, all they could think about was where to find some more fabric to wrap themselves.

So while they were keeping warm, Sun Ce strode into the middle of the army formation.

Under the light of the fire, the entire army could clearly see this magnificent coach.He is more than eight feet tall, rich and handsome, wearing a red robe and black armor, and is talented in martial arts.Just standing there was convincing. The soldiers all looked at the coach seriously, intending to listen to what he wanted to say.

The hustle and bustle in the army quickly calmed down, and Sun Ce's voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier: "Second and third sons, is there enough rice for tonight?"

The soldiers shouted excitedly: "Enough, enough."

"Already full!"

"I've never eaten so open before."

After the soldiers answered excitedly, Sun Ce raised his hand and asked, "Wait, you know why there is such an abundance of corn and rice?"

The clever veteran immediately replied: "Because the general is high-minded and generous to the soldiers."

The soldiers immediately cheered and booed.

Sun Ce smiled brightly, which made the atmosphere of the whole army even more enthusiastic. Although these soldiers were disheveled and impoverished, everyone was grinning at the moment, full of sunshine and optimism. .

The army spirit of each general is different, such as Cao Cao's army, brutal and bloodthirsty.Lü Bu's army was fierce and swift.

And Sun Ce's army undoubtedly has a strong personal style of his leader, vigorous and masculine.

So Sun Ce yelled at his direct descendants: "Follow me, Sun Ce, I can't guarantee that each of you will survive. But as long as you can survive, I guarantee that you will all be well-fed!"

"What's more, even if it's the woman you want now, I guarantee that each of you can get more than one. I will help each of you to start a family and start a career!"

This incentive effect is directly full!

Follow this general, this general will give each of you a wife!

Which bachelor can stand this kind of temptation?
All the young soldiers, with red eyes, howled fervently like a wolf.

"Long live the General!"

"I would like to die for the general!"

"The general is the enlightened master I follow all my life!"

A broken voice shouted excitedly: "Done! Just say this to the general, this life is the general's!"

"I'm done, I'm willing to cut my whole body, and follow the general to fight for wealth and glory."

"Dry~"

Listening to the howl of the last one who was already so excited that his voice broke, Sun Ce was sure that the endeavour had been established, and it was time to stand up.

So he raised his right arm, held up his long knife, and shouted in high spirits: "Since you follow this general, you will no longer be local strongmen and bandits in the water. The purpose of creating an army and a brigade is to establish guidelines and discipline. Open up Jiangdong and save the people, so looting and other things are prohibited from now on."

"Remember, all of you, what will be given to you is yours. If you don't give it to you, you can't grab it! Otherwise, the military law will be strict and will not be tolerated! The seventeenth prohibition 54 will kill anyone who dares to violate it. Only as a sword!"

These words are very domineering, even veteran generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Rui Zhi and others feel that they are full of vigor and ambition, Xiaoxiong is not weaker than his father at all.

Rui Zhi said with emotion to Huang Gai beside him: "If Grandpa Sun is the tiger of Jiangdong, then Sun Lang can be called the overlord of Jiangdong! He has a strong spirit, and he is not weak."

Huang Gai nodded approvingly, and said, "That's why I'm waiting for the hero who will help you wholeheartedly."

But the whole army is all respectful, no matter whether the soldiers are brave and majestic, or cunning and resourceful, they all practice reverence and solemnity, and dare not take it lightly.

The so-called stealers, punish.Thieves, princes.

Obviously, Sun Ce is the prince with the most potential at the moment.

He can lead the soldiers to expel the big robbers, punish the Xiaoxiao, pacify the princes, and accept their men and women.But the soldiers could not follow suit and plunder the people and rob women.

So Sun Ce said: "The country is in chaos today, and the people's minds are settled. At this time, we should conform to the agreement and rectify the disorderly people. There is nothing else to do tonight, but to declare the 54th ban and [-] beheading!"

"Lu Fan!"

"The last general is here!" Lu Fan immediately responded to the order and stepped forward, cupping his fists and shouting.

"I order you to be the governor of Fengxian, wearing a black shirt, holding a whip, enforcing the law and supervising the army, and ordering the discipline of the army. From tomorrow, those who violate the 54th Prohibition [-] beheaded can immediately declare their crimes and pass on to the three armies!"

"promise!"

Countless soldiers' eyes widened in an instant, the general is playing for real!

Affirm military discipline tonight, and it will start to be implemented tomorrow!
The soldiers, who were a bit cunning at first, thought that tonight's announcement of the 54th ban on [-] executions could fool them around.

But now, his whole body tensed up instantly, and he didn't dare to have such thoughts at all.Everyone tried their best to cheer up and remember all military discipline.

Under the threat of life, no one dares to be negligent, and the memory has been greatly strengthened, and all the content must be engraved in the heart at all costs.

Then Sun Ce retreated, and Cheng Pu walked towards the middle of the bonfire. He had a generous and friendly personality, and said to everyone with a smile: "The general enforces the law strictly, and the military law is like a mountain. This is a thunderstorm and cannot be overcome. But you don't need to fight, because these seventeen The ban of 54 beheading is very easy to remember, as long as you abide by military discipline, you will not be punished at all, and you can safely follow the general to make meritorious deeds, and you will succeed in your career."

Relaxing one by one, the way of civil and martial arts is also.

When Sun Ce became powerful, Cheng Pu naturally wanted to appease the soldiers.

With Cheng Pu's reassurance, the beating hearts of the nervous soldiers finally calmed down.They also felt that what Cheng Pu said was very reasonable. The general had promised them glory and wealth. As long as they abided by military discipline, not only would they not be in danger, but they would also be able to have ample food and clothing, and they could even marry a soft-bodied woman to start a family.

You are no longer bandits and bandits. As soldiers under the general's command, shouldn't you have enough food and drink, and obey military discipline?
Therefore, most people paid close attention to the bonfire, intending to keep in mind the military discipline content declared by Cheng Gong.

It is Lu Fan's responsibility to punish the military and punish the three armies.Cheng Pu was very friendly, coupled with his elegant appearance, people liked him even more, and listened to him very intimately: "The first seventeen prohibitions 54 cut off the first one. If you don't stand up and the flag doesn't hold down, this is called disobedience to the army, and those who commit crimes will be killed."

"All the generals and soldiers must have understood the instructions in the army. This is the simplest prohibition. Hearing the sound of drums means marching, but not marching. Hearing the sound of gold means withdrawing troops, but not retreating. Seeing the raising of flags , which means that the soldiers are required to stand up from the prostrate state, but they do not stand up. Seeing that the flag is pressed down, it means that the soldiers are required to lie down, but they do not lie down. Do you think that in this case, should the behead be beheaded?"

All the soldiers burst out laughing, especially those newly recruited tyrants and water thieves heaved a sigh of relief, that's it?That's it?That's it?
It turns out that the Seventeenth Prohibition 54 cuts, is it that simple?What's so hard about following this?This is a group of bandits, the leader yells to charge, but if someone shrinks back and is afraid to move forward, he must be hacked to death.Everyone else was lying on the ground in ambush, and there was only one person standing there stupidly, exposing everyone, who wouldn't go up and chop him?
After declaring this point, everyone has memorized the four rules.This night, we can recite one hundred and eight articles!

Cheng Pu continued to explain: "The second rule is that the name should not be called, the time is not met, the time is not met, and the teacher's law is changed. This is called slow army, and the offender will be killed."

"It means that you shouldn't be negligent when calling your name, the time stipulated for the appointment is not in place, the set assembly deadline has not been reached, and the law and order of the army are tampered with casually. In this case, you will also be beheaded."

……

"Article [-], the weapons used are the bows and crossbows, the arrows have no feathers, the swords and halberds are not good, and the flags are withered. This is called deceiving the army, and the offender will be killed."

……

"Where Article [-] goes, the people are abused, and if there are women who are forced into prostitution or women, this is called a treacherous army, and the offenders will beheaded."

"It means that where the army passes by, it abuses the people, rapes, prostitutes, and women. This is the crime of a traitor army. The general said that serious violations of military discipline must be beheaded."

……

"Article No. 16: In charge of money and food, when giving rewards, the private relatives will cause the soldiers to have grievances. This is called a malpractice army, and the offenders will beheaded."

"It means that when he was in charge of money and food, he was corrupt and used the public to favor his own interests, causing the soldiers to feel unfairly angry, and they called it a fraudulent army. Tell me, do you want to kill such corrupt and perverted people?"

The soldiers shouted excitedly: "Hack him to death!"

"Support the general, support Chenggong, hack this corrupt official to death!"

"What I hate the most are these corrupt officials. Now the country is in chaos, and the chaos in all directions is caused by these corrupt officials."

The army's morale is strong, Cheng Pu nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The last one, No. 17: Watching bandits does not judge, scouting thieves is unknown, and when they arrive, they will not say anything. If there is more, there will be less talk, and if there is less, there will be more talk. Mistaken troops, the offenders will beheaded."

"There is no need to explain this. The enemy army has arrived, but you lied about the military situation and said that it did not arrive. The enemy army did not arrive, and you exaggerated, saying that the enemy army has arrived. The enemy army clearly has 1000 people, but you said that the enemy army has 2 people. Or if there are 2 enemy troops, you lie to everyone that there are only 1000 people, and let everyone die. Do you think they should be killed or not!"

"It should be cut! It should be cut!"

"It's all good laws. This seventeen prohibition 54 beheaded, I recognize it!"

Cheng Pu put away the bamboo slips, looked around everyone and said, "Good! Then you should review the Seventeen Prohibition 54 from now on. If you have any questions or doubts, you can ask me. Today I will talk endlessly. But tomorrow , that is, Dudu Lu has enforced the ban, and anyone who breaks the order will be punished without pardon!"

Sun Ce watched it from the sidelines, nodded appreciatively, and said to Lu Fan who was beside him, "Mr. Cheng is tolerant, refined, and friendly. No wonder he is personally supported by the generals."

Lu Fanye praised and said: "Cheng Gong loves soldiers like sons, and can make soldiers serve them to death. He is also a good general under the general's account. In the future, he will be able to take charge of his own side and entrust him with important responsibilities."

The bonfire was vigorous, and the wood was crackling in the fire. In this fiery atmosphere, all the generals under Sun Ce's command went into their own steps and taught the soldiers military discipline.

Sun He, Jiang Qin, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lu Fan, Rui Zhi, Rui Liang, Cheng Zi, Zheng Bao and many other generals patiently taught each soldier.

Sun Ce inspected it and found that Sun He's department was the best in execution. His subordinates were all veterans of the Sun family. He only needed to be serious about military discipline and let the soldiers take it seriously.

And Jiang Qin's one is undoubtedly the worst.

Including his other Sima, he couldn't remember the Seventeenth Prohibition 54, so he had to discuss it with the soldiers and correct it.

However, he did have the qualifications of a famous general, and he got along well with the soldiers. The soldiers didn't have any airs when they saw him as a Sima of other departments, and they remembered the military law hard, and they all put their hearts into it.

Therefore, the soldiers in his part are very enthusiastic, and the sound of reading is noisy and lively.

If you don't know, you may think that this is a private school where students are studying here.

This is in stark contrast to Sun He's words and deeds, and his subordinates' silent and capable ethos.

After patrolling around, Sun Ce found Jiang Qin, who was in full swing, and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will take a dozen or so riders to patrol the surrounding area, inspect the entire army, eliminate the ban, and any soldiers who disturb the people and take money from others will be executed. "

Following the main general and leading a dozen cavalrymen to patrol around the formation, this is the treatment only for trusted generals!

Jiang Qin was not stupid. He was very sure that this was the general who wanted to cultivate and reuse himself, and immediately shouted happily: "No! I will do it myself, strictly enforce military discipline, and set an example for the entire army."

Sun Ce patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Good. Continue to declare the law and encourage the soldiers."

The fiery atmosphere of the whole army continued until Haishi, when the bonfires were extinguished and night fell.

The soldiers were lying in their clothes in the night. Although it was along the Yangtze River and there was no snow, the cold wind was still piercing.

The direct descendants of the Sun family also had military tents and cloth quilts given by Yuan Shu, but those heroes and water thieves who came here for refuge obviously did not have this kind of treatment.

A group of people shivered and huddled together, relying on body temperature to keep each other warm.

Sun Ce and Chen Wu patrolled the entire army with their personal guards, and they were even more eager to lay down a base.

Only when a piece of territory has been laid down and production can be developed with peace of mind, can soldiers be provided with better logistical guarantees.

It won't be like now, wandering and wandering, helpless in the cold wind.

Many soldiers don't even have a pair of trousers. It is conceivable that some people will be frozen into zombies when they wake up tomorrow.
