Chapter 3: Taking the initiative to show affection
When the general leading the team heard Wu Wei's words, he smiled inexplicably. He had indeed seen the right person, and Wu Wei could be used.
"Captain Li, is what this recruit said true?" the general asked Captain Li.
Captain Li looked up at the general and was dumbfounded. How should he answer this?
If the answer is true, you and your team members are falsely accusing Wu Wei. If the answer is untrue, if you continue to ask questions, you will be found out for bullying the newcomers.
He is a veteran who came out with the general. Because the military camp has always been strictly disciplined and rewards and punishments are clear, Captain Li is even more afraid of being found out that he is relying on his seniority.
"Reporting to Vice General Zhao, we were beaten like this by Wu Wei.
He had nothing when he first arrived, so we gave him clothes and shoes.
But he wanted to steal our mattresses and quilts, and if we didn't give them to him, he would beat us.
Everyone knows that Wu Wei used to be a gangster." Captain Li suddenly remembered that Wu Wei said that he used to be a gangster, which happened to give Captain Li an excuse.
Of course Vice General Zhao knew what Wu Wei was like before, and he still clearly remembered what the old man said.
Wu Wei couldn't help but smile when he heard Captain Li talking about this: "Vice General Zhao, I won't say anything more.
You send someone to our camp to look under my iron pot to see if there is a set of shabby clothes, which Captain Li gave to me in the first place."
Only then did Captain Li understand why Wu Wei kept the shabby clothes. He pointed at Wu Wei and was speechless.
Wu Wei looked at Captain Li calmly: "Captain, is what I said the truth?"
Vice General Zhao also understood when he saw this. Someone had told him before that the captain of the Huotou Army bullied the new Huotou Army.
He is too busy to take care of these small things. If not handled well, it will affect the normal operation of the Huotou Army.
Therefore, Vice General Zhao had a purpose in sending Wu Wei to the Huotou Army. If he could subdue Captain Li, it would relieve one of his worries.
If Captain Li subdued him, it would be a good thing. At least Wu Wei would be obedient and not dare to do anything stupid.
Vice General Zhao's idea at the time was like killing two birds with one stone. Now it seems that Wu Wei is not only good at fooling around, but also has some brains.
"Captain Li, Wu Wei doesn't understand many rules when he first comes here. Please teach him not to get angry in a hurry or to be too irritable.
We in Fuguo have always treated our subordinates leniently and convinced others with reason, you understand!" Vice General Zhao did not want to help Wu Wei, but he would not help Captain Li either.
"Wu Wei, learn the rules of our barracks carefully and don't be as lax as before. Today I will continue to recruit soldiers, so you can follow me on the road to cook and make tea." As soon as Vice General Zhao said these words, Captain Li understood that he was
If you want to favor Wu Wei, don't dare to talk too much.
Wu Wei nodded and looked at Captain Li proudly. He would settle the complaint with him when he came back in the evening.
Even though it’s my first time here, I can’t be too timid, otherwise I won’t be able to survive for a long time in the future.
Captain Li and his four team members hurried back to make breakfast. Because the complaint was delayed, everyone ate half an hour later than usual.
Wu Wei was asked to teach the lieutenant a few words, so he set off carrying an iron pot before even having breakfast.
Along the way, Wu Wei touched his growling stomach and tried to figure out what Lieutenant General Zhao was thinking.
Zaozao Ming appeared to be defending himself, but in reality he was playing fifty-fifty, and no one got any advantage.
After Wu Wei's careful observation on this day, he found that this blessed country was not very wealthy, but the monarch was very considerate of the people, and all families who enlisted in the army would be exempted from the labor tax.
At the end of the day, Vice General Zhao recruited more than a hundred young and strong men. You must know that these are the main labor force, and the people are happy to send these family members to apply.
Wu Wei also gradually found out from fragmentary information that the invading Lu State was not very wealthy and had similar strength to Fugu State.
It's just that they are poorer there, because the natural environment is not good, there are mostly mountainous areas, and agricultural development is slow, so they will invade neighboring countries to change the status quo.
Wu Wei also found out that Fuguo had a neighboring country called Shouguo. This dynasty had a relatively large territory, a prosperous population, good natural resources, and was relatively wealthy.
Both Fuguo and Luguo had asked Shouguo for support in the past, but as they became increasingly poor and unable to take care of themselves, Shouguo gradually became unwilling to interact with these two countries.
The main reason is that Lu Guo always likes to stir up troubles in the middle, and Shou Guo can't distinguish so many rights and wrongs, so he simply doesn't interact with each other in order to keep quiet.
After roughly understanding these situations, Wu Wei felt a headache. Will this war be able to end in three to five years?
Then how can he find a way to go back? Even if he can't go back, he doesn't want to live in fear every day.
When Wu Wei returned to his Huotou Army camp at night, he wanted to make peace with Captain Li and coexist peacefully for a while to let himself get familiar with the environment.
However, Captain Li was determined to become Wu Wei's enemy, and even the team members ignored Wu Wei.
Wu Wei took the initiative to show his kindness, but was left hanging awkwardly without anyone answering him. He smiled helplessly, and Wu Wei thought it would be better to go to bed first.
This time he didn't snatch Captain Li's mattress. He cut some long thatch on the road during the day and wove a one-meter-and-a-half-meter-long straw mat there during his break.
The mat is just a thin layer of grass. Wu Wei studied garden design and is proficient in the properties of plants and trees and some simple weaving techniques.
Because his family is a farmer in a mountainous area, he is self-sufficient in many things. He has learned many skills since he was a child. Because his family's conditions are not good, he worked hard to pass the mountain examination and want to live a better life.
Seeing Wu Wei take out a roll of thatch from his iron pot and spread it on the ground, a thin team member looked at it curiously and was scolded by Captain Li.
"What are you looking at? Be careful of your eyeballs being pulled out." Captain Li scolded the thin man angrily.
"Skinny Hu, come here." The short and fat one called to the thin guy. The thin guy looked at Wu Wei's mat again before slowly walking over to the fat guy and sitting down.
“Want a mat like this?
I can help you make it up. Don’t you think the weather is not cold now?
This mat will be much better when the ground is cooler in autumn. The grass is everywhere after you cut it and I will take the time to help you weave it." Wu Wei said to the thin man Hu with a smile, not caring at all about Captain Li's resentment.
eyes.
Wu Weicai had no time to care about Captain Li's expression and eyes, and fell asleep. Fortunately, he had nothing to do all night.
The next day, Captain Li banged the iron pot early in the morning and called everyone to get up and make breakfast.
Wu Wei yawned and started busying with him. Fatty Hu took the opportunity to get close to him: "Brother, are you really willing to help me weave mats?"
"Of course, people from our old Wu family never lie to others. We lie to you like a puppy!"
"Okay, we will all follow the training starting today. During the break, I will mow the grass and you can help me." Fatty Hu smiled happily, and his thin body walked with energy.
After breakfast, Lieutenant General Zhao began to arrange for people to start training these new recruits, which were the most advanced and simplest movements.
For example, first practice formation, listening to instructions, rules for team walking, etc. The more practical ones for fighting are the gestures of holding a spear, thrusting the spear, avoiding the enemy's spear, etc.
