Chapter 23: Too Many Flowers
"Second brother, you... Why did you come back so soon? Has it already been won? ”
Sun Kewang, who was sleeping with a beautiful woman in his arms in the city, immediately rushed to the city gate when he heard the news, looking surprised.
"Well, eldest brother, Xunyang's official army has been defeated by us, is there any news from their side?"
"Not yet!"
"You should have made a lot of money this time!"
Sun Kewang looked behind him with some taste, but because it was dark, he saw that everyone was carrying three or four spears, and there seemed to be mules and horses.
"Hey! Not to mention, just some spears and food. Li Dingguo waved his hand
"Oh! No way? ”
Sun Kewang obviously didn't believe it.
Li Dingguo wanted to say more, so Qin Yu hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Old Sun, are you still finished?" The brethren are half exhausted, and not only are you not ready to eat, but you are here asking questions, all right, go to the city! Let's talk about what to do when the king returns! As he spoke, he waved his big hand and beckoned everyone into the city.
Sun Kewang was so angry that his teeth rattled, but he had to step aside and smiled at the sergeants: "The brothers have worked hard, I didn't know in advance that the brothers would come back so early, so I ordered someone to kill pigs and slaughter sheep, and there will be enough wine and meat later, and there are beautiful women!" ”
"Major General Xie!"
"The major general is mighty!"
A group of heroes originally listened to Qin Yu's words, and they still had some resentment towards Sun Kewang in their hearts, but now that they heard that there would be a beautiful woman to sacrifice the army, that resentment suddenly dissipated without a trace, and they cheered one after another.
Qin Yu also secretly cursed, Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, sure enough, none of them are simple.
"Dingguo, discuss something!"
"What's the matter?"
"Tomorrow the weapon is handed in, how about we report a thousand strokes?"
"Ahh
"Xiaoyu, this... This is not good, the father-in-law knows that he will be unhappy, and the other leaders know that they will also have opinions about us. ”
Li Dingguo is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, he can be regarded as loyal and honest, where is Qin Yu so fancy?
"You and I know exactly how much has been seized, if you don't say it, who knows?
Ay! Dingguo, it's not that I insist on concealing the capture, but this time the weapons of each battalion have been lost, only your battalion has not been lost, and the king will definitely not have enough to capture this time, and most of us will not be able to share much at that time.
What's more, I am also thinking about the future of the rebel army, the leaders of each battalion only know how to drink and have fun every day, and they are not motivated at all, and it is a waste to give them these weapons, it is better for us to stay and expand our strength, and it will be easier to fight officers and soldiers in the future..."
"Okay!"
In the end, under Qin Yu's constant instigation and countless legitimate reasons, Li Dingguo hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.
Qin Yu was overjoyed, and then the two of them decided to hide a thousand spears, and add half of each to five.
As soon as the two returned to the courtyard to prepare to split their guns, Sun Kewang chased after them.
"Second brother, the eldest brother discussed something with you, you also know that the eldest brother lost a lot of weapons in Jiangbei the day before yesterday in order to cover his father-in-law, and now there are more than 2,000 people, but there are only more than 300 guys, can you quietly give me a thousand rods?" What am I going to tell my father-in-law about this afterwards? ”
"This..."Li Dingguo didn't expect that the eldest brother would also want to steal weapons, if he hadn't promised Qin Yu just now, he would have agreed, but now he is a little embarrassed.
Seeing Sun Kewang, Qin Yu pulled Li Dingguo aside and whispered, and his ears had already been pricked up.
Although I didn't hear it clearly, I guessed something just by Li Dingguo's expression, and immediately walked over and shouted loudly: "Old Sun, you have bad rules, not to mention that we have only caught a thousand spears in total this time, if they are all secretly pulled away by you, won't Dingguo and I have to report that none of them have been captured?" Do you think the commanders of the battalions will be faithful? ”
"Boy, you don't talk about fucking nonsense, I'm just here to care about the casualties of my brothers!"
Sun Kewang was furious, and when he saw that all the heroes in the courtyard had looked over, he had to defend with a red face, and then walked away.
When he left, he also glanced at Mrs. Li, who was like a cat behind Qin Yu, and the anger in his heart was even worse!
He said that he didn't find the yard last night, and he dared to be taken by this kid, which was really hateful.
"Xiaoyu, let's just forget if we don't give it, why do you have to be angry with big brother... Ay! Li Dingguo shook his head when he saw that Sun Kewang was angry and left.
"Dingguo, it's not me who said you, he secretly took away the weapon, of course the king won't say anything, but there is no impermeable wall, and the leaders of the battalions will definitely know at that time, although they don't say it in their mouths, they will inevitably have opinions about you in their hearts!"
Qin Yu saw that he was still complaining about himself, and he hated the Tao of iron and steel, and at the same time, he also understood that it was no wonder that Li Dingguo's ability and prestige in later generations were above Sun Kewang, but he had been suppressed by him.
"Okay, it's almost dawn, let's go and rest early!"
Li Dingguo frowned, then waved his hand a little irritably, and also woke up to the fact that he was used as a gun by his eldest brother.
Qin Yu didn't say much, some things didn't need to be said too clearly, he believed that Li Dingguo understood.
He took a hundred young men and carried five hundred spears into the courtyard and hid them, led two mules and horses, and hid a bag of fine grain and five bags of coarse grain, and then he stopped and fell asleep on the bed.
This sleep was enough until the afternoon before Qin Yu was woken up, and the eight kings also returned triumphantly with their armies, but the harvest was much richer than Qin Yu's.
There is no way, the elite of each battalion adds up to nearly a thousand people, and although they lost some war horses last time, the eight kings still gathered three hundred personal guard cavalry.
Don't think about it, it must be the ass of the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers who were killed, and even the officials had to be killed.
After Qin Yu finished dressing, he ate some porridge casually, and hurriedly went to the county government with Li Dingguo.
After winning the battle, or two big victories, and temporarily resolving the crisis, a celebration banquet is naturally necessary.
In the hall, all the leaders gathered together, drinking, bragging, and eating meat one after another, and everyone was addicted.
This time, the eight kings were also very generous, and took out more than 20 beauties collected from Gucheng for the leaders to enjoy, making the atmosphere burst!
"Xiaoyu, the first credit belongs to you this time, say, what reward do you want? Beauty or food despite saying! ”
Qin Yu hurriedly pushed away the girl in his arms, got up and hugged his fist and said: "King, forget about the beauty, the young one is enough, and the more you can't bear it..."
"Haha..."
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, but they were all laughing with good-nature, obviously after this incident, the good opinion of all the leaders towards Qin Yu had skyrocketed.
After everyone quieted down, Qin Yu continued: "King, the more than two hundred little brothers who escaped with me the day before yesterday, after all, everyone has lived and died together, so I want to recruit them all into my firearms camp, and I hope the king will approve it!" ”
"Good! They are all your men, and the supply of firearms battalions will be the same as those of other battalions in the future! Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand.
"Thank you, King!"
Qin Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him.
The leaders not only had no opinions, but felt that although he was young, he was very righteous and was ready to make friends in private.
Only Sun Kewang's face was gloomy as water, and a cold light appeared in his eyes from time to time.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xianzhong began to reward others according to their merits and divide the spoils.
