Chapter 41 The Prodigal Soldier(2/2)

Why did he take the initiative to lead the fortress soldiers to help him kill Yuan Shu's soldiers? Even if he was repaying his kindness for rescuing him, this change was too fast and intense, wasn't it?

Tao Ying's question was quickly answered. The infantrymen of Yuan Shu's army, who had suffered most of their casualties under the arrows of Junzi's army, had already lost their nerve. They had no intention of fighting and ran away for their lives, leaving the group of fairly skilled Woodmen to chase them.

The Junzi Army cavalry assisted Wu Ding on both wings, using bows and arrows to snipe the defeated troops of Yuan Shu's army, giving all the opportunities for melee combat to Wu Ding. The defeated troops of Yuan Shu's army cried like ghosts and howled like wolves, but fled away with their heads covered, and were killed by the Junzi Army and Wu Ding.

Rivers of blood flowed all over the field. Seeing that the victory was certain, the dock owner also handed over the docking to others to command, and he came to Tao Ying alone and thanked Tao Ying face to face.

"Thank you so much, Master, for your great kindness in rescuing me." After bowing to Tao Ying, the owner of the dock said sincerely: "If Master had not forgotten his old sins and acted righteously in the rescue, there would be more than 320 people in Lujia City who would be dead today.

It's hard for a person to escape with his life. My Lord, I've been so kind to you, but I can't repay you even if my body is broken to pieces."

"You don't have to be polite, master of the dock. When you see an uneven road, it's your duty to draw your sword to help." Tao Ying dismounted his horse and returned the courtesy, and said sincerely: "But the master of the dock was not afraid of being implicated and helped our army kill the enemy. Tao Yingcai is really grateful.

All."

"Young master, there is no need to be polite. This is my duty." The owner of the dock said sincerely: "Young Master would rather not engage in close combat and consume precious troops. I have received a great favor from you, and I should lead the young men in the dock to fight to the death in return.

Young master’s great kindness in saving my life.”

"How does the dock master know that I don't want to fight in close combat?" Tao Ying asked curiously.

"It's very simple. The young master's army is so precious." The dock master replied: "I have just discovered that the young master's army not only has neat slogans, but is also extremely neat in unified actions. Every move of nearly 800 people is like

The body of a man is without any clutter. Such a disciplined and skillful tiger and wolf army must have put countless efforts into the young master. Every soldier is worth the same amount of gold. How can the young master be willing to spend it in close combat with the enemy's infantry? I'm afraid.

Even if one person is sacrificed, the young master will feel distressed for a long time, so I boldly lead the army to fight to help the young master share the pressure of close combat."

"The dock owner has such good eyesight!" Tao Ying was even more surprised and said with a smile: "To be honest, it was the first time I met a gentleman like me, and the dock owner was the first one who didn't laugh at me and gave me such a good gift.

People who evaluate.”

"Others laughed at the young master's army of gentlemen. I think they were confused by the slogans of the gentlemen army, so they laughed." The dock owner solemnly replied: "But I don't dare to deceive the young master. When I heard the slogans of the gentlemen army, my first reaction was

I was shocked and admired, and then I admired the young master’s good intentions even more.”

"Oh, can the dock master tell me why you feel this way?" Tao Ying was even more interested in this dock master and couldn't help but ask: "The dock master heard my Junzijun reciting the Analects of Confucius which has nothing to do with the battlefield.

, why are you shocked? What good intentions do I have by letting Jun Zijun read the Analects of Confucius?"

"Then I have the courage to speak out. I hope you will understand the fallacy." The master of the dock replied: "The Analects of Confucius has nothing to do with the battlefield, but you just let the army of gentlemen recite it neatly on the battlefield. There are three purposes. First,

Of course, it is to confuse the enemy and make the enemy take it lightly. I think any bad guy who is unfortunate enough to be an enemy of the young master, when he hears the gentleman reciting the Analects, his first reaction is to laugh and feel contempt for the gentleman's army. When the enemy underestimates the enemy, the young master will naturally take advantage of it.

"

"Second, the Master asked the Junzi Army to recite the Analects of Confucius, which actually helped the Junzi Army soldiers overcome their inner demons and calm down their emotions, because what the Master needed was a calm and wise army with arms and fingers.

A cold-blooded army who kills the enemy as simple and ordinary as eating and sleeping, rather than a group of rabble who only know how to act and are blinded by blood. The Analects of Confucius is complex, and it is very difficult for seven or eight hundred people to recite it neatly, and when these seven or eight hundred people are unified

When reciting the complex Analects of Confucius, the soldiers will forget unnecessary emotions such as timidity, impulsiveness, tension and excitement when facing battle, and focus on collective actions. When the prince takes command again, he will naturally use his arms to order the troops.

OK."

Tao Ying's eyes widened, and he looked up and down at the dock owner who was about the same age as him in surprise. He couldn't help but urge: "Dock Master, please continue talking. I am all ears."

"The third purpose of the Young Master asking Jun Zijun to recite the Analects is for the future, not now." The owner of the dock smiled and said: "The Jun Zijun is so powerful that it will only be a matter of time before he becomes famous all over the world, and reciting the Analects on the battlefield is another matter.

The Gentleman Army is the only one with no semicolon. So in the future, after the Gentleman is famous all over the world, when the enemy hears the voice of "The Analects" on the battlefield, it will naturally be like hearing a curse to wake up, and they will be timid before fighting, or even

Collapse on its own.”

Tao Ying stopped talking and continued to look at the dock master for a long time. Tao Ying finally smiled and said: "Dock Master, you are really my confidant. Your insights are something that even my third brother, who has taught me step by step, can only understand at most.

You can see one of them, and the first time you saw my Junzijun, the dock master, you were able to tell my three intentions in a comprehensive manner, and I am full of admiration for you."

"Young Master is overly praised. I'm just lucky." The dock owner was humble and suddenly asked: "Sir, your surname is Tao Mingying. Could it be that the second son of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian and Tao Mansion Lord? The one who lives in Xuzhou City

The Second Master Tao who sacrificed his life in a frying pan to rescue the people of Xuzhou?"

"I don't dare, it's me." Tao Ying was proud of his heart and said with humility, saying disapprovingly: "I never thought that the owner of the dock would also hear about me. I'm really flattered."

"Young Master is too humble. I have actually heard about your righteous deeds a few months ago. Now that I have seen them today, I believe that there are indeed such kind and righteous people in the world." The dock owner put another high hat on Tao Ying's head, and suddenly

Then he smiled and said: "Sir, don't you need a guide who is familiar with the local roads and mountains? If you don't want to give up, I would like to recommend myself to lead the way for you. I wonder if you can accept it?"

"Master of the dock, are you kidding?" Tao Ying said with a wry smile: "Your family property is so huge. If you act as a guide for me, you won't be afraid of Yuan Shu settling accounts with you? Besides, what will happen to your family?"

"My parents both died, and I was raised by my grandmother. My grandmother passed away years ago, and I have no worries." The owner's smile became even more bitter, and then he said shockingly: "As for the family property, I said I'm not afraid of the young master.

What a joke, I am a famous prodigal, I have already lost ten percent of my family property, and now all that is left is this Wubao and some fields. It would be better if they were all lost, and I have no worries at all.

"

At this point, the owner of the dock straightened his clothes, bowed solemnly to Tao Ying, and said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that the young master is recruiting talents in Xuzhou, and declares that all the elders with skills will be employed without hesitation. Small things do not mean talents. If the young master does not hesitate to accept them,

, I will immediately send all the property and fields in the dock to the neighbors, and follow the young master to plan big things."

"Give up your family fortune and follow me to pursue great things? When did I have such great charm?" Tao Ying, who had always admired the dock master, was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears, and blurted out: "Dock Master,

Are you kidding me?"

"Young master, you think I'm joking? A gentleman promises you a thousand pieces of gold. Although I'm not a gentleman, I'm willing to imitate what a gentleman does." The owner of the dock said with a somewhat displeased tone: "Besides, I joined forces with you to kill the enemy, and the one I killed was General Yuan Shu, the left general.

Even if the young master refuses to accept these soldiers, I will not be able to gain a foothold in Jiujiang."

"The dock master is really blaming me because Tao Ying judged a gentleman with a villain's heart." Tao Ying hurriedly apologized to the dock master, and then asked casually: "Dock master, I am really rude, and you are still acting like this now.

I didn’t ask for the dock owner’s name. Could you please give him his last name?”

"Young master, you don't have to be polite." The owner of the dock replied calmly: "I don't dare to bear your name. I am just a nobody. My surname is Lu, my name is Su, and my given name is Zijing."

"Oh, it turns out it's Mr. Zijing. I've admired his name for a long time." Tao Ying smiled easily as if he wasn't excited at all. Then he clasped his fists to Lu Su and bowed to the ground. He said more sincerely: "Sir, you will repay me as a national scholar. Tao Ying

Ying Ding should repay Mr. Tao as a national scholar. If Mr. Tao Ying does not give up, Tao Ying is willing to worship Mr. Tao as his military advisor. He will listen respectfully to Mr. Sir's instructions, obey his advice, and vow not to fail."
