Chapter 516: Dealing with deserters
At first, the Fox didn't notice it, but as the number of people fleeing from the local army began to increase, and even when not only the local army of one of the counties began to flee, but many of the local troops began to flee, she finally realized that something was wrong.
The thousand-faced fox looked at the many officials around him, and then said with a cold face: "What happened, who can tell this official why so many soldiers have fled." ”
The surrounding county guards didn't know how to explain it, so they could only look away timidly at this time, not daring to look into the eyes of the thousand-faced fox.
"What, aren't you going to give this official a reasonable explanation and explanation?" The cold on the thousand-faced fox aggravated a little again.
At this time, a county guard finally couldn't help it, knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Thousand-faced Fox, this is not something we can control, many soldiers did not come voluntarily. ”
The thousand-faced fox looked at this county guard, then thought for a while, and knew that this county guard was the county guard of Ankang County, and then said with a smile: "Lord Qian, how do you say this, tell me carefully." ”
"Yes. That's when Lord Qian began to tell these things.
It turned out that Yun Lingtian was worried that the local army was too small to resist Yun Ruochen's troops, so he issued some mandatory requirements, that is, to let a county send at least 30,000 elite soldiers.
But where can they find so many elite soldiers, they are not like Tang County, they are on the border, so the troops are not very strong, and the military salary above the court is not enough to support them to raise so many troops.
They can only reduce the number of soldiers, and if there are 20,000 elite soldiers in one county, then it is a very large county, and now they have heard that they can find 30,000 elite soldiers, it is undoubtedly difficult for them to ascend to the sky.
Therefore, they could only forcibly levy some soldiers, which led to the incident of some local troops fleeing here.
Hearing all this, the thousand-faced fox also knew what the situation was, and her face became a little difficult to look at, her eyes rolled, if she continued like this, then most of the local army might be gone.
In that case, let alone attacking Yun Ruochen and them, even if they attack some small mountain bandits, it may become very difficult.
So in desperation, she had no choice but to sigh and say: "Pass the order, and if you find the soldiers who have escaped, you will be killed." ”
"Yes. The county guards responded with some timidity.
In fact, after they found out about this, they also stopped it, but they didn't stop it.
But they are not uncommon to kill chickens and monkeys, so it is understandable that they are even ready to do so.
Then they began to lay out some things, and when everything was laid out, they finally understood.
Many county guards began to set up some orders in an attempt to prevent the soldiers below from escaping, but they made the soldiers below resist.
At night, many soldiers and soldiers began to flee secretly, but the next day, many soldiers and county guards came out of the camp and found that many corpses were those who had fled.
The thousand-faced fox looked at the many soldiers and said in a cold voice: "This is the fate of deserters, if you still want to continue to escape, then this official is also welcome at any time." ”
After saying that, she left, but more soldiers began to scream and curse loudly, thinking that the Thousand-Faced Fox was too much.
So at this time, all of them looked at the situation in front of them, and their faces were a little ugly and angry.
Many county guards watched such a bloody scene, and they didn't know what to say, although they also wanted to deal with such a situation very much, but they didn't dare to treat these soldiers like this.
After all, they are all the people of the same county, and they are also their people, and as parents and officials, it is too bloody and violent to do so.
But the thousand-faced fox didn't think so at all, after all, she didn't belong to this country, how could she think about these people.
"It's disgusting. A county guard said through gritted teeth at this time.
"Don't speak, if this reaches the ears of the fox, it won't be these people who will die, it will be us. Master Qian said in a low voice.
The many county guards around looked at the surrounding situation at this time, and their faces were also very ugly.
"Lord Qian, what do you think we should do now?"
"Yes, Lord Qian. ”
Many of the surrounding county guards asked urgently, after all, there are more soldiers in addition to the dead county guard, that is, there are more soldiers in Ankang County, Lord Qian.
After all, Ankang County was next to Tang County, and it may have been because if Tang County could not resist the forces of the northern frontier, Ankang County would play a role as the second line of defense.
So I saw such a situation at this time, but now it has undoubtedly made Lord Qian's status much higher among the many county guards.
Lord Qian's eyes rolled for a moment, but then he still felt that it was not the right time, and then said in a low voice: "Alas, I don't have any good way to do this, after all, from the current situation, we can only restrain the soldiers below." ”
"Alas. The surrounding county guards were also depressed at this time, and they didn't know what to do.
When everyone had finished, Lord Qian looked at a county guard beside him curiously at this time, and said puzzledly, "Why didn't Lord Li leave?"
"Lord Qian, how about we go to your tent and sit down?" Lord Li looked left and right, and then said in a low voice.
Seeing him like this, then Master Qian also knew that the other party must have wanted to talk to him about some hidden things, so he smiled and nodded.
The two came to a camp, and Master Li deliberately hinted to Lord Qian to let the surrounding soldiers retreat a little farther away.
Master Qian knew that he must have discussed some confidential matters with him, so he didn't refuse or stop him, just nodded his head, and then sent the surrounding soldiers away.
After there were only two people left in the tent here, Lord Qian said with some puzzlement: "Master Li can say anything he wants." ”
Lord Li was a little twisted at this time, and began to secretly think about how to explain this matter.
After thinking for a long time, he said with some surprise: "Actually, I want to ask Brother Qian if he can contact the prince." ”
"Lord Wang?" Lord Qian looked at him with some puzzlement, in fact, his heart had already begun to beat violently, how could he not know the meaning of his words.
Master Li also sighed and said: "Brother Qian, we didn't know each other on the first day, although we didn't have a love of life, but we can be regarded as good friends, if there is anything, there is no need to hide it, can't you really contact Lord Chen?"
Now that he has made his words clear, Lord Qian's mind has begun to become active, and then he doesn't know whether he should tell him the truth or not.
