"How could the army that was just formed a few days ago become an iron army that follows military discipline and obeys orders in one day?"
Hu Wei's face turned pale, and he stared at his uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang without blinking, and asked further questions.
"Why?" Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang were stunned for a moment, then replied, "Because Erzhu Rong emphasized military discipline, was impartial and impartial, and even executed his nephew in public after he stepped on the farmland."
"Instead of saying this, it's better to say..." Hu Wei paused and looked out the window vigilantly.
"There is no one, except the three of us, no one else. Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us." Uncle Zhu Shouren urged impatiently.
"Yes, Brother Hu, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why have you suddenly become so timid?"
Xia Qiang looked at Hu Wei suspiciously and urged him in confusion.
"It is better to say that Erzhu Rong borrowed his nephew's good head and trained an iron army that obeyed orders and strictly abided by military discipline within a day!"
Hu Wei said through gritted teeth.
"ah?"
Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang could not help but be stunned for a moment, then nodded, "What you said does make sense."
"What I mean is that it makes sense. The truth is far more cruel than what is recorded in the books, and far more cruel than you can imagine. Rather than saying that Erzhu Rong is ruthless, it is better to say that this is a trap he designed. Erzhu Rong is not a man. He is a combination of Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo. History has evaluated him as 'higher merits and greater virtues, but worse misfortunes than Dong Zhuo'. He is as cruel as a butcher. He led his army into the capital, drowned Empress Dowager Hu and the young emperor, and besieged and killed more than 2,000 princes and officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was cold-blooded and merciless, and killed people without hesitation. What can a cheap nephew count for?"
Hu Wei sneered and shook his head.
"You mean, Erzhu Rong did it on purpose?" Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang reacted belatedly.
"It's definitely intentional. Think about it, the Rouran army is about to attack, the rebels from the Six Garrisons are also on the way, and the situation in Erzhuchuan is precarious. How can Erzhu Rong be in the mood to go out and inspect the territory if he is not training troops and arranging defenses in the territory? And he even has to inspect the fields?!" Hu Wei said to the two with a sneer.
After hearing this, Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang also felt that something was wrong.
"Also, did you pay attention when you read the book? When Erzhu Rong and his nephew went out for an inspection and passed by the farmland, Erzhu Rong's horse got startled. Pay attention, it was Erzhu Rong's horse that got startled, not his nephew's horse! Erzhu Rong's horse got startled and threw him off?! Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Hu Wei asked the two of them back.
"What's so funny?" Uncle Zhu Shouren didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion.
"Erzhu Rong was born in the Qihu tribe, a nomadic people. He grew up on horseback since he was a child. He was skilled in archery and horse riding, and his martial arts were the best in the world. He was not a wise general who planned and won thousands of miles away, but a Mengren who planned on the battlefield, led the army to attack the central army, beheaded the generals and seized the flags. Chen Qingzhi, who was known as "thousands of troops avoided the white robes", was so powerful, but he was defeated by Erzhu Rong's attack on the central army. Erzhu Rong's horse was startled and he fell off his horse. Haha, do you think it's possible? Such a Mengren who is as brave as the King of Chu and as good as Lu Bu, would he be startled by his horse and fall off his horse? He didn't startle the horse earlier or later, but he started it when passing by the farmland?! It would be fine if he started the horse, but he was also thrown off the horse?! It would be fine if he fell off the horse, but he also watched his nephew chase the horse in the farmland with his eyes, and didn't stop him?! Don't you think this is very weird?"
Hu Wei pointed at the records in the book, shook his head vigorously, sneered, and pointed out several unreasonable points.
After hearing this, Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang could not help but be persuaded by Hu Wei and felt that this scene was too weird.
"This is a trap, a trap that Erzhu Rong carefully designed! When the Rouran and the rebel army were approaching, Erzhu Rong only had a group of rabble that he had just assembled. How could he break the trap at the critical moment of life and death?! He needed a head, a head that could shock the rabble, a head that could make the rabble tremble all over and dare not disobey his military orders?! And the head that could take on the heavy responsibility is nothing more than his son, or his nephew. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He couldn't bear to part with his son, so the only one he could do was his nephew."
"So he took his nephew out to patrol the territory instead of his son, so he let his nephew ride a horse and follow him closely, so he went to patrol the fields, so he scared the horse and fell off, so his nephew went to the farmland to chase the horse, and I even believe that he deliberately let his nephew chase the horse."
"So, his nephew was tied up as soon as he caught up with the horse, so he couldn't wait to gather the entire army at the parade ground, and in front of all the soldiers, he was ruthless and killed his nephew for the sake of justice!"
"It was his nephew's good head that made the whole army tremble. No one dared to disobey the order! Within a day, the mob became a powerful tribe."
"So, in fact, this story is about how Erzhu Rong borrowed his nephew's good head and trained an iron army that obeyed orders, was invincible, and could conquer any battle in a very short period of time!"
The more Hu Wei spoke, the more excited he became, and the paler his face became. At the end, his voice began to tremble.
"This Erzhu Rong is really vicious. In order to train his troops, he asked to lend his nephew's life. He is really not a good person!"
After hearing this, uncle Zhu Shouren agreed deeply and couldn't help shaking his head, cursing Erzhu Rong as a villain.
"This is a great hero. Otherwise, Brother Zhu, where do you think the phrase 'One general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of men'? For the sake of a great future, what does the life of a mere nephew mean
Not worth mentioning! "
Xia Qiang sighed.
"No, don't you think of anything?" Hu Wei curled his lips and asked the two of them.
"What else do you want to associate with it?" Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang asked blankly, not knowing why Hu Wei asked this.
"Do you remember which page of the book Lord Zhu was reading this morning?" Hu Wei reminded the two with a look of disappointment.
"It's the story of Cao Cao who was on his way to attack Yuan Shu and ran out of food. He borrowed the heads of the food and forage officers to calm the morale of his troops. Don't you remember it, Brother Hu?"
Xia Qiang answered without thinking.
"Yes, Brother Hu, it's Cao Cao's story. We have discussed it and concluded that my nephew was worried that the Japanese pirates would besiege our camp and our army would be short of food, so he asked us to write a letter to Suzhou to request a month's worth of food and fodder."
Uncle Zhu Shouren also replied immediately.
"Haha, I thought Lord Zhu was worried about the military rations, but after reading today's story, I know I was wrong."
Hu Wei laughed and shook his head.
"Were we wrong?" Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang were stunned. "Brother Hu, what do you mean by that?"
