Chapter 911, Zhang Xiaoman’s Calling
“Brigade Commander, the commander of the fourth regiment and the commander of the third regiment have quarreled again,” a combat staff officer said to Zhang Xiaoman in the Righteous Mountain.
Zhang Xiaoman said impatiently, “What is it about this time?”
“The commander of the 4th Regiment said that their 4th Regiment was stronger, so they should be the vanguard, and the 3rd Regiment should step aside, resulting in the commander of the 3rd Regiment getting angry,” the combat staff said.
Zhang Xiaoman’s scalp was numb: “What is this day in day out, since they are so energetic, then let them quarrel, go, you give them both say, all give me to stand in front of the barracks to quarrel, do not stop until nightfall!”
Right Jade Mountain in the temporary barracks in chaos, Wang Yun silently watched this scene, suddenly began to question their own decision of the great northwest, whether it is too hasty ……
As a matter of fact, Zhang Xiaoman was promoted too quickly, less than a year ago he was still a company commander, and then not long after he was promoted to regimental commander, he brought a brigade to the Central Plains.
This promotion was too hasty, the deployment of troops was also too hasty, Zhang Xiaoman was really unprepared.
He wasn’t even able to learn how to be a brigade commander from the others before he was rushed to the top.
Bringing more than a hundred people, bringing more than a thousand people and bringing a few thousand people are completely different concepts, the number of people marching and fighting is never a simple matter of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Whether it was the deployment of supplies or the progress of the march, as well as the balance of officers under his command, it was all learning.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoman’s mouth has been blistering with anxiety lately, and all day long, it’s all about things that make him on fire.
At a certain moment he was really a little worried that before they met the barbarians, their own people were on fire ……
178 fortress to aid the Central Plains of the infantry brigade in the right jade mountain has been stationed for several days, Zhang Xiaoman now also do not know where to take the troops, everyone for a time all idle, make it seem as if to vacation.
Not to mention, the scenery of Right Jade Mountain is quite nice.
At this time, Ji Zi’ang is sitting in the barracks holding a photo carefully scrutinize, this is the big fool let someone send the photo, the photo of a young woman with a little boy, looks like Ji Zi’ang wife and child’s recent photo.
Zhang Xiaoman skimmed a glance: ”Since this photo was sent, you’ve been holding it in your hand every day, and the photo is almost rotten by your touch. You look like a strong man, why do you think about your children’s love all day long.”
Ji Zi’ang is one meter nine tall, and his body is extremely strong, this appearance pinching a photo and giggling, it is a bit awkward.
Ji Zi’ang smiled and said, “You don’t have a wife and child, you’ll understand when you have one. By the way, I see that you’re not too young, why haven’t you gotten married and had children yet?”
Zhang Xiaoman was thirty this year, and in this day and age, it was indeed a long time ago that he should have gotten married and had children.
After all, in this era, when some people are thirty years old, their children are fifteen years old and ready to go to high school ……
“I have thought about it before,” Zhang Xiaoman lamented, “Some years ago, I almost got married to a woman, but when I was dating her, her family didn’t agree.”
“Family disagreed?” Ji Zion said doubtfully, “Is it because her parents think you’re poor?”
“That’s not true,” Zhang Xiaoman explained, “It wasn’t her parents who disagreed.”
“Then who didn’t agree?” Ji Zi’ang was even more puzzled, it was reasonable to say that for a major life event like marriage, the most likely obstruction usually came from the parents, if the parents didn’t say anything, who else in the family could disagree?
Zhang Xiaoman sighed: “Her husband doesn’t agree.”
Ji Zion: “???”
Wang Yun, who was drinking water next to him, poofed it all out!
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Wang Yun, “What are you gloating about here?”
“O,” Wang Yun wiped his mouth, “I have nothing to do, can’t I gloat a little?”
“If you have nothing to do, find something to do,” Zhang Xiaoman said with a dark face.
“Oh,” Wang Yun laughed coldly, “You said we’ve been here at Mount Yuyu for a few days, is there anything to do? You’re the brigade commander, so tell us what we’re going to do next.”
Zhang Xiaoman said, “Yes, what’s our next step?”
Wang Yun’s eyes widened, “You’re the brigade commander, you’re asking us this kind of question?”
In fact, this was Zhang Xiaoman’s biggest headache, compared to the question of what to do next, the quarrel between the brigade commanders was a trivial matter.
After the Northwest Infantry Brigade arrived at Right Yushan, they were directly stationed here, it was not that they did not want to fight, but they did not know what to fight next.
Wang Yun continued to sneer, ”Don’t make excuses with any lack of familiarity, the map of the Central Plains is all in my head, if you say where to go now, I will designate that I will be able to find the most correct route for you, yet you don’t even know where to go now. This unreliable look of yours is simply the same as that of a big snub, do you two really not have any blood relationship?”
Zhang Xiaoman instantly became anxious, “I’m telling you, this can be considered a personal attack, ah, if you mention this again I’m going to hit someone!”
“Come on,” Wang Yun stood up straight, “I’m a Transcendent still afraid to fight you? I’ll let you have one hand!”
Zhang Xiaoman stormed, “If you have the guts, you let two!”
Wang Yun: “…… You have some guts, okay?!”
At this time, Wang Yun’s group of brothers, as well as the infantry brigade’s combat staff looked at each other, no one has the intention to stop the fight.
In the past two days, Wang Yun and Zhang Xiaoman had quarreled almost once a day, but they would soon make up.
As for how to make up, it all depended on Ji Zi’ang to make peace.
He only heard Ji Ziang say, “Stop arguing, instead of arguing and hurting the peace, why don’t you each take a step back and scold the big loser together.”
Wang Yun and Zhang Xiaoman: “Okay.”
A storm was dissolved, Ji Zi Ang sipped his teeth and thought, at least the internal atmosphere of the 178th Fortress Unit is not bad, although these two people are always quarrelling, at least Zhang Xiaoman never takes the brigade commander’s official authority.
After these two people finished scolding the big loser, Ji Zi’ang suddenly said: ”This matter actually does not blame Zhang Xiaoman for not having any ideas, although Wang Yun you know the map, but before we came Wang said something particularly good, to work together with us in a coordinated battle, but as a result, after we arrived at Right Yushan, they simply did not have any intention of sharing the battle plan with us. So much so that now we don’t even know what the barbarians are doing, so we really can’t take the initiative.”
“See, here’s another person who understands,” Zhang Xiaoman said.
“Then let’s scout first,” Wang Yun said after some thought, “These brothers of mine have no other skills, but they are good at scouting and infiltration. Once we figure out the situation we don’t need to wait for Wang’s battle plan, we can act on our own.”
“That’s right,” Zhang Xiaoman smiled with a big smile on his face, “Let’s discuss the strategy together, as the saying goes, three ignorant cobblers are better than one …….”
Wang Yun said, “You can just say you are the cobblers, you don’t need to bring us along.”
“Fine, fine, not three ignorant cobblers, but three swordsmen!” Zhang Xiaoman said unconcernedly.
However, at this moment, Wang Yun, who had an excellent memory, suddenly said, “That’s not right, before coming here, you also said that this troop was actually brought to Central China by you for the Major, and that the actual controller would be him at that time, that’s what you said yourself, right?”
“That’s right, that’s what I said,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “And that’s what was implied from above ah.”
“Then where is Major Man?” Wang Yun asked, “Since the troops were brought to him, then you contact him now ah.”
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t have the heart to say, “If I had his contact information, I would have contacted him a long time ago, isn’t it true that I don’t have it? Could it be that if I shouted, he would show up? Young Marshal! Where are you, Major Marshal!?”
But as soon as the words fell, the whine of a steam train suddenly came from outside the mountain!
Zhang Xiaoman was instantly shocked!
