Chapter 79: Study? Study shit!
"Don't panic, let them make noise there, we just practice calligraphy here.
This is the real thing.
We won't send out troops today, so don't even think about going to war.
It is impossible to avoid learning calligraphy by fighting a war. "
Hua Xiong raised his head, glanced at the many soldiers who seemed to be full of energy, shook his head at them, and said this aloud.
After saying that, he took the branch and started writing on the sand table, stroke by stroke, very seriously.
All the soldiers suddenly became like deflated balls.
It looked very much like a self-study class in the future. Suddenly, the power went out. The students cheered and prepared to go home immediately. Then the teacher kindly brought candles and distributed them to everyone, asking them to light them and then continue studying...
Hua Xiong wrote for a while, then looked up at the many soldiers who were looking listless.
"What? Are you scared now?
I, Hua Xiong, a rough guy, am not afraid, so why are you afraid?
Don't treat this as simple reading and writing, treat it as a battle!
Every word is an enemy. Learning it, being able to read and write it, is like destroying an enemy!
I am not a coward, and my subordinates should not be cowards either!
The soldiers under my command not only roar when fighting, but also roar when doing other things!
Not afraid either!
Reading and writing are things that those people wearing turbans can do, and we can do the same!"
After saying that, Hua Xiong softened his tone and said, "I asked someone to cook some meat. Do you want to eat it?"
When they heard about eating meat, everyone immediately became excited.
"think!"
Hua Xiong laughed and scolded, "What the hell! How can there be so much meat if we all eat it?
Those who can complete the calligraphy task today will have meat in the evening.
Those who fail to complete the calligraphy task will not be able to drink the soup!
I'm the same. I won't eat if I don't finish it.
You who don't have a foundation only need to learn ten characters a day. I learn thirty characters a day, and I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
After being encouraged by Hua Xiong, everyone controlled their temper and continued to practice calligraphy, infected by the strong enthusiasm of their Governor Hua.
Then, not long after, they saw that Governor Hua, who had been writing seriously with his head down and had strong confidence, suddenly threw the branch he was using as a pen to the ground and kicked it hard.
A look of rage.
"Study, learn nothing!"
Governor Hua cursed angrily.
After a while, he walked forward again, picked it up silently, and continued to write.
Such a scene, seen by the soldiers, made many of them couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that their Governor Hua, like them, was also deeply disgusted and extremely tormented by this matter.
I also want to throw away the pen.
But I have to be patient and do it...
After seeing this scene, the soldiers suddenly felt calm again.
Sitting here and writing these sad words again, I don’t feel that uncomfortable anymore…
Outside Sishui Pass, Yan Liang and Wen Chou kept cursing and making a fuss.
As a result, Sishui Pass was quiet. Apart from some soldiers standing at the pass conducting routine patrols, there were no other soldiers.
This made them feel confused and uncertain.
But I dare not relax at all.
On the one hand, Hua Xiong has a great reputation, and on the other hand, they also feel that this might be Hua Xiong's army, which is quietly gathering behind the pass, preparing to suddenly attack and catch them off guard.
Based on their various understandings of Hua Xiong, they felt that this was the most likely thing to happen.
After all, Hua Xiong is a complete reckless man.
Having won many victories in the past, constantly defeating generals and seizing flags, he must be very proud and does not take his own people seriously.
How could he endure being provoked by others like this?
They must have gathered together and were waiting for me to slack off so they could come out and fight with me and the others.
I always feel that the next moment, the gate of Sishui Pass will be opened wide, and Hua Xiong will lead his troops to rush out.
Therefore, I dare not slack off in the slightest.
Looking down from a high altitude at this time, you can see a wonderful sight at Sishui Pass.
The tall Sishui Pass stands here, cutting off the east and the west.
In front of Sishui Pass, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others were on high alert with their troops, constantly making noises and provoking.
Behind Sishui Pass, many ruffians with murderous auras sat on the ground, earnestly learning to recognize and write characters, stroke by stroke, very seriously, but it also looked very incongruous and a bit funny.
They turned a deaf ear to the clamor before Sishui Pass.
Because of the Sishui Pass blocking them, Yan Liang and others did not know the real situation behind Sishui Pass.
The clamor has been on high alert here.
They kept clamoring until dusk, and when they saw that Sishui Pass remained the same as before, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and return to camp.
When they were withdrawing their troops, they were very cautious. They divided into two groups and withdrew alternately to prevent Hua Xiong from taking the opportunity to send troops to pursue and kill them.
As a result, even when they retreated back to the camp, no pursuers appeared at Sishui Pass...
The result of today's battle made Yuan Shao, who had been worried all day, feel disappointed and relieved at the same time.
Yuan Shu, who wanted to see the battle, couldn't help but curl his lips...
Yan Liang and Wen Chou took the soldiers to eat and rest. Although there was no battle throughout the day, they were exhausted from the continuous march and high alert.
But they did not dare to relax because Hua Xiong was used to raiding their camp.
Judging from his past battle record, they had every reason to believe that Hua Xiong was not going to fight today because he was planning to raid the camp at night.
Therefore, they were also arranging troops and preparing to kill Hua Xiong at night...
As night fell, behind Sishui Pass, Hua Xiong and his soldiers were all fast asleep.
Yuan Shao and many other soldiers did not sleep all night...
On the second day, Yan Liang and Wen Chou continued to lead their troops to challenge and make noise, but at Sishui Pass, the soldiers were still under the leadership of their governor Hua, trying hard to learn characters while constantly pulling their hair down...
After a day of provocation, they returned empty-handed again.
We went back at night to continue guarding against a camp robbery, and then had another hard night.
This went on for four days in a row, and there was no sign of any war at Sishui Pass.
On the contrary, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others went out one after another and were very tired.
Cao Cao came here to find Yuan Shao, ready to ask Yuan Shao to give up this idea and proceed according to what he and Yuan Shao had proposed before.
"Go one more day tomorrow. If it still doesn't work, then do as Meng De said!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and said no more.
On the fifth day, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led their troops to Sishui Pass again to provoke.
From morning to noon, there was still no movement at Sishui Pass.
There was a sun in the sky at this time. As it approached noon, the sunlight was shining down and it was somewhat warm.
Yan Liang thought about it, gritted his teeth and issued a bold order.
Most of the soldiers were asked to sit on the ground and bask in the sun. Some soldiers even took off their armor.
I don’t believe that Hua Xiong won’t send troops even after such a situation!
Behind Sishui Pass, some soldiers came quickly to Hua Xiong and reported to him the enemy situation in front of Sishui Pass.
Hua Xiong smiled when he heard this, and put down the branch he was using as a pen...
