Chapter 171: Win the hearts of the military
Ye Fengmian pushed Shi Changpu out of the big tent, but saw that Shi Baoxing happened to come outside the big tent, he looked at the two of them strangely, and said that these were all big men who still drove him back to his big tent to do something, and it was okay to sleep on his feet, and he happened to be here to have a good time.
This can make Ye Fengmian blush, but she is not good at telling the truth, but fortunately, Shi Baoxing was already a little drunk at this time and didn't notice her embarrassment.
Although Shi Changpu had a sense of alcohol, he was not drunk to that point, he hurriedly pulled Shi Baoxing away, and only said that he had good things for him to see. Seeing them talking and laughing and leaving, Ye Fengmian's heart was put down, she put down the heavy curtain, leaned on the pillar, and let out a long breath.
But the good times didn't last long, and within a few days, there was a report from the horses, and the Liao general Xiao Jiyuan marched to the Weilu army with a sentry of men and horses.
The Liao army has been gone for some days, and the soldiers and civilians in the city thought that the war was over, but they didn't expect that this Xiao Jiyuan would kill a horse pistol. Now that General Yang is not here, there is only Shi Baoxing who stays behind. General Yang was still struggling to defend the city, if it weren't for the heavy snow with the help of heaven, the Weilu army would have turned into an ice city, and this small earthen city would have been stepped on by the horses of the Liao army.
In an instant, people's hearts fluctuated, not only the people in the city wanted to abandon the city, but also many of the officers and soldiers who defended the city were quietly preparing to slip away.
Shi Baoxing discussed with his subordinates in the Chinese army tent day and night about the strategy of defending against the enemy, but he did not notice what was going on outside.
But Ye Fengmian and Shi Changpu saw all this, they were in a hurry, the enemy had not yet arrived, the army's heart was dispersed first, how could this battle be fought.
The two of them hurriedly came to find Shi Baoxing, Shi Baoxing also became anxious when he heard it, the last time the Liao army came, the person sent to ask for help was a reinforcement and did not bring it back, if it wasn't for General Yang's brave resistance, I am afraid that this place would already be a piece of rubble.
Now General Yang has taken away some of the soldiers, and there are even fewer defenders here, and although the reward after the battle has been reported, it has not been distributed until now, and now they are not only worried that there are no reinforcements, but the soldiers are even more worried that they are working in vain, who will fight to meet it.
Shi Changpu also stomped his feet when he heard this, although he didn't want any reward, he just wanted to defend the city, but where did those soldiers have such a strong heart to face the battle.
Ye Fengmian smiled slightly: "In this way, you can use your wealth to make the soldiers contribute!" ”
Shi Baoxing smiled bitterly, the reward was not distributed, what did he use to distribute to the soldiers, the soldiers worked hard to serve their lives but could not get the reward they deserved, who would be willing to go out and fight to the death with the enemy, although money is not omnipotent, but how many people can do it without tasting dedication again and again.
Shi Baoxing looked at the two of them, and spread his hands helplessly: "I am willing to spend all my family wealth as a reward, but my home is not here, where can I find silver for a while." ”
Of course, Shi Changpu also felt the same way, and now it can be said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so she can only watch these soldiers secretly escape.
Ye Fengmian is strange, although this mighty army is not big, it can be regarded as a big city here, how can it not even get a little military resources.
Shi Baoxing shook his head: "I am a military general, and I am in charge of these soldiers, and I am not in charge of the money and property, even if I have the heart, I can't use this power." ”
It turned out that the money was not in his hands, Ye Fengmian was happy, not in his hands did not mean that there was no property here that could reward the three armies, she was busy asking who was in charge of the money?
Shi Baoxing sighed: "Of course they are the officials who manage the treasury, and they are all accounts to be found." ”
Ye Fengmian sneered: "This city is here, the treasury is still there, the city is gone, do you want these treasures to reward the Liao army!" ”
Shi Baoxing listened to Ye Fengmian's words and started from the case, what are you waiting for now, the army's heart is scattered, it will be difficult to collect, how can this city be kept, he strode out of the big tent, took a group of people out of the camp, and went straight to the treasury.
Shi Changpu stood there and frowned, Ye Fengmian hurriedly asked him if this matter was not possible?
Shi Changpu looked at her: "You also know that Lu Dao is going to lose his head when he opens the treasury privately, not to mention that he must forcibly open the treasury here, but I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future." ”
Ye Fengmian disagreed with him: "The general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, I think the emperor will not be so confused, and he doesn't even know this." ”
Shi Changpu nodded: "Now that the matter is urgent, it can only be like this." ”
Soon there was a cheer in the barracks, and the rewards were distributed to every soldier, and those soldiers who wanted to flee no longer wanted to go, and many of the people in the city came to participate in the battle, and the whole army was bent on meeting the enemy.
The snow was scattered in the northern sky, but the white patch of the earth was stained red with blood. The cold air was still condensed with the shouts of the athletes, but the stiffened corpses were as cold as the wind and snow.
It's another fierce battle, another fight, and who can understand what human beings are doing so mercilessly for their own kind.
There was no mournful cry, no fear of death or the cry of the crow, only the snow that buried this piece of blood in the cold wind.
The flags thrown down, the gongs and drums thrown away, the dead bodies lying on the ground, this is war.
Facing this embarrassing battlefield, listening to the shouts at the celebration banquet in the city, a sense of loss welled up in Ye Fengmian's eyes.
Shi Changpu put on a fur cloak for Ye Fengmian who was lying on the city wall, and asked her what she was thinking and why she didn't go to celebrate the victory with everyone.
"Senior brother, why do you say that these Liao troops want to leave their homeland and come here, are they thinking about the treasures of the Great Song Dynasty like this? But the Great Song Dynasty can really find treasures everywhere, how can the people of the Great Song Dynasty be so busy day and night to make a living? Ye Fengmian's eyes were still on the battlefield that was gradually covered by heavy snow, and her heart was full of melancholy.
Shi Changpu smiled, and he patted Ye Fengmian's thin shoulder: "If only everyone thought like you, haven't you heard of greed, hatred, stupidity, and slowness in human nature?" If people don't have these greedy thoughts, how can they go to these six realms of reincarnation, and how can they see these scenes if they don't have this samsara. ”
Ye Fengmian turned his head and looked at Shi Changpu, who was already a little drunk: "Senior brother is saying that the reason why I see these here is because my six roots are not pure?" ”
Shi Changpu stretched out his thick palm to caress the green silk floating on her cheek: "Fortunately, your six roots are not pure, or where I will go to stay with you, I don't want to be orphaned like this." ”
They were talking here, but a small school came to them, saying that someone had come from Bianliang City and wanted to look for them.
