It's still very cold in Hedong in the first month, especially when the sun comes out in the past two days.
The ice and snow melt some, taking away a lot of heat, making the temperature even colder, even colder than when it snows.
In the next two days, Zhao Ziliang, accompanied by Wang Shengdao, the commander of the county soldiers, and several others, inspected the training and stationing of county soldiers and county soldiers in several counties under Shuozhou, learned about some situations, and also communicated with the county soldiers.
Some of the main generals among the soldiers looked familiar to the captain.
The number of county soldiers in each county is not large.
There are only two or three hundred at most, and only a few dozen at least.
Some county lieutenants are seriously underpaid.
There were originally more than 200 people in the establishment, but in fact there are only a few dozen people, weapons and The equipment was also in dilapidated condition.
Zhao Ziliang knew that some county soldiers saw waist knives equipped by government officials and police officers.
They must have been borrowed from the county government officials and police officers to cope with inspections.
Zhao Ziliang knew this well.
The situation of the county soldiers is better than that of the county soldiers below.
There are more than a thousand county soldiers, and the number of establishments is not much different from the actual number of troops.
Wang Shengdao regards these county soldiers as his own private soldiers, of course.
With good management, the weapons and equipment basically meet the standards, but there are big problems in training and military discipline.
At noon that day, Zhao Ziliang returned to Shuozhou City after inspecting the county soldiers in several counties under the king, and summoned Wang Shengdao and some of the main generals among the county soldiers to discuss matters.
"For the humble rank, please see the general."
After arriving, a group of county soldiers and generals bowed to Zhao Ziliang and saluted together.
"No courtesy, please take a seat."
"Thank you General" Zhao Ziliang waited for these people to sit down and said: "In the past few days, my general has inspected the following counties.
The situation of the county soldiers is very bad.
There were originally two to three hundred people, but in fact there were only a few dozen."
People, weapons and armor are either rusty or tattered.
Even if there is no shortage of troops, they are all crooked and broken.
Zao has summoned you all here today just to tell you that this afternoon, General I want to see the county soldiers’ drills.
General Wang must have told you about this matter.
I would like to emphasize it again.
Please give me a good review.
Practice, don’t make any trouble.
If anyone messes up, this general will pick on whomever you want to blame.
Have you remembered?"
Under the leadership of Wang Shengdao, everyone immediately said: "General, don't worry, there will be no problem."
The county soldiers' drill in the afternoon was a big event.
Zhao Ziliang informed Wang Shengdao two days ago.
Other officials and many people in Shuozhou also knew about it, so they all came to the county soldiers' school field that afternoon to watch the county soldiers' drill. , this is also specially allowed by Zhao Ziliang.
Faced with the thousands of people watching, Wang Shengdao and his generals were really under a lot of pressure.
If something went wrong during the drill, not only would they be embarrassed in front of the people, but the face of Zhao Ziliang, who was in charge of the review, would probably be...
It doesn’t look good, if Zhao Ziliang was not happy, and life for them might not be so easy.
Therefore, Wang Shengdao and others had to work hard.
Before the drill review, they warned every soldier not to make mistakes, otherwise they would be punished. class.
Although Zhao Ziliang had notified Wang Shengdao and others in advance two days ago to make preparations instead of a sudden attack, when it came time to review the drill, the county soldiers still made frequent mistakes during the drill, which made the people watching around them upset.
There were constant boos, shameless and ridiculing.
Seeing the county soldiers in a mess and the common people laughing and laughing, Zhao Ziliang's face became darker and darker.
He turned to glare at Wang Shengdao and said coldly: "General Wang, I informed you two days ago that I asked you to Be prepared, and you promised that nothing will go wrong, but now are you going to slap me in the face in public?"
Wang Shengdao's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

He was ashamed and worried now.
He was also worried that Zhao Ziliang would suddenly get angry and deal with him.
This man didn't care if he tried to attack him violently.
He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "General, don't worry about it beforehand."
The others have already practiced many changes without any problems, but I don’t know why it doesn’t work now.
I would like to ask the general to allow me to take command in person."
Zhao Ziliang stared at Wang Shengdao and said coldly: "Okay, I will give you a chance."
"Yes, yes, thank you general," Wang Shengdao said and quickly ran to the stage to conduct the command himself.
But at this time, more than a thousand county soldiers were already in chaos because of someone's mistakes.
A guy like Wang Shengdao, who was uneducated and had little command and military ability at all, and only knew how to engage in power struggles, could solve the problem in a short time.
Wang Shengdao tried his best and couldn't end the chaos even after half an hour.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "That's enough.
In the name of Datong Army Jiedu Ambassador, I ordered all the soldiers from Shuozhou to be in camp."
As a unit, the leading and deputy captains of each battalion will be brought back to the camp to stand by.
Wang Shengdao, the commander-in-chief of the county soldiers, and the school captains of each battalion will immediately come to the mansion of the commander-in-chief of the county soldiers to see the general."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he left angrily.
The county soldiers who were in a mess on the school ground stopped when they heard Zhao Ziliang's voice.
Wang Shengdao stamped his feet anxiously and ignored him.
He called on the captains of each battalion to chase Zhao Ziliang.
The soldiers on the school ground then Only then did they start looking for their own teams.
The deputy lieutenants of each battalion had no choice but to lead their teams back to the camp to stand by according to Zhao Ziliang's order.
Zhao Ziliang, who arrived at the mansion of the Commander-in-Chief, sat on the main seat.
Wang Shengdao and others watched Lu come in one after another and were dejected.
Their faces were so cold that they were about to freeze.
When Wang Shengdao and others saw this, they all I was so scared that I didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Everyone was seated, but Zhao Ziliang remained silent.
He just stared at everyone back and forth with his murderous eyes.
Although Wang Shengdao kept reminding himself that he was a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Zhao Ziliang was staring at him.
At this time, he could not help but tremble all over.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before.
It was like the innate fear of lower beings when facing higher beings has existed since ancient times.
"A bunch of losers and losers."
Zhao Ziliang suddenly got angry, making Wang Shengdao and others tremble.
"How did you guarantee that at noon, you all patted your chests and told me that nothing would go wrong?
But just now the county soldiers did something random.
How do you explain it when you are doing it again?”
Wang Shengdao felt that he should say something to save some face, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "General, there are people watching outside, and the soldiers are nervous during the drill.
This nervousness makes it easy to make mistakes, so I won't do it."
Zhao Ziliang immediately interrupted him: "So you think this is excusable?
This is just a drill.
Only the common people are watching.
If it were on the battlefield, the county soldiers would probably be more chaotic.
The enemy would not laugh at it then."
Instead, they use the weapons in their hands to attack you and kill you until you cry for your father and mother and urinate from your buttocks."
Wang Shengdao was a little angry.

He was angry that Zhao Ziliang didn't give him any face.
He thought that it was a good thing that he helped Zhao Ziliang last night, and he was a direct descendant of the Wang family.
Even if he didn't look at the monk's face, he still had to look at the Buddha's face, right?
But he He couldn't really get angry.
Zhao Ziliang scolded him so much that he thought he was so wrong.
He scolded him so much that he had no temper at all.
Zhao Ziliang lost his temper in the lobby of the Commandery's Mansion, scolding Wang Shengdao and the other battalion commanders, and his arrogance was suppressed by him.
After scolding enough, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Forget it, it's useless to scold again.
This is not a matter of whether you watch or not, but it is a matter of how little you practice on weekdays.
You will have to practice more when you go back."
Everyone felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and they quickly stood up and said, "Promise" After the captains of each battalion left, Wang Shengdao couldn't.
This was the official residence of his commander, Zhao Ziliang.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang stepped down from the main seat and said: "According to the schedule, the Japanese general is going hunting tomorrow.
You can accompany him."
I'll go" Wang Shengdao quickly agreed: "Promise" On the morning of the second day, the weather was good and the sun came out.
Zhao Ziliang had breakfast and was about to go hunting with his followers.
The followers who were sent to convey orders to Gao Xiuyan came back.
He reported: "General, General Gao Xiuyan has already counted the numbers.
The army has arrived forty miles north of Shuozhou.
According to the marching speed, it will arrive at the north gate of Shuozhou at noon today."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said, "Go and pass on the order and order Gao Xiuyan to camp ten miles north of Shuozhou City and wait for orders."
"promise" When Zhao Ziliang led his followers to the west city gate, Wang Shengdao was already waiting with dozens of soldiers.
In addition, there were several county military school captains.
They were all Wang Shengdao's confidants.
Wang Shengdao brought them here this time.
Let them establish a good relationship with Zhao Ziliang so that they can be promoted in the future.
"General, you're here so early."
Wang Shengdao hurriedly greeted him.
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "You guys have been here early, and it's getting late.
Let's leave the city first."
"General please" Under the leadership of Wang Shengdao and others, Zhao Ziliang and others came to a mountainous area to the west of Shuozhou and stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Shengdao said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, this is it.
There are more prey in this area, such as rabbits, deer, jackals, There are foxes, and sometimes you can even hunt black blind men and big insects.”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I like this kind of place.
General Wang, why don't we have a competition?
It's limited to one hour.
Come back here after one hour to see who can hunt the most prey."
One side will lose all its prey to the other side.”
Wang Shengdao only thought that Zhao Ziliang was young and fun, so he agreed: "Okay, since the general is interested, let's give it a try."
So the two parties separated and each looked for their own prey.
There are indeed a lot of prey in this area, and Wang Shengdao's archery skills are also pretty good.
After a while, he shot two hares and a deer.
At this time, a deer came into his sight.
When he saw it, he was overjoyed and immediately opened his bow and shot.
Unexpectedly, the deer was very alert and actually snatched it and started to run away.

Wang Shengdao immediately chased the deer, leaving the soldiers he brought with him far behind, and soon lost contact with the soldiers.
"I finally caught up with you, hehe."
Wang Shengdao smiled and took out an arrow, put it on the bowstring and aimed at the deer.
He let go of his hand and the arrow shot past with a "swish" sound.
The arrow hit the deer, but before he could be happy, an arrow came from nowhere and hit his throat.
The arrow penetrated him.
He paused, fell off the horse, twitched a few times and became completely motionless. .
"Ah, general, general!"
Several soldiers who were following him shouted in panic after seeing Wang Shengdao fall from his horse
