The head of the grain officer has been hanging at the gate for three days.

Although this person is only a link in this huge chain of corruption, he is by no means innocent, and in the past few months, he has been responsible for the dozens or hundreds of corpses of pigs who have died of cold, starvation, and disease.

And in the army where the order is forbidden, the most important thing is the name of conviction.

It was extremely cold at the beginning of January, and there was a night of frost and snow, and the black crow that had frozen its head so hard that it was still able to tear out its tongue and eat it through its wide-open mouth, which seemed to be crying out for grievances.

The young Zhang Yu would raise his head and look at it a few times every day when he passed by Yuanmen, which made Wu Lun regret a little, he shouldn't have killed people in front of the children that day.

Although this is also the first time that Fifth Lun has seen people die up close, and his throat was cut like a chicken, but Fifth Lun's cheeks twitched slightly at that time, and he has witnessed too many deaths directly and indirectly when he comes to this era.

When Zhang Yu heard that Fifth Lun asked him to look at the dead man's head less, he immediately felt underestimated, and shouted: "Sect Master, I have seen a lot of dead people!" ”

He began to talk endlessly about the corpses that could be seen everywhere in the field during the two years of the Jingshui disaster.

There are also heads hanging at the gates of almost every county, which belong to some long-wanted bandit, or ordinary farmers who resist rent by force. But the first rank is the first rank, and after hanging in the city for a few days, it is a pair of virtues.

"Crows always eat their eyes first." Zhang Yu told Wu Lun, as if to prove his bravery, and described it vividly: "Then his cheeks were sunken and his muscles turned green......"

Fifth Lun frowned at the rice that had just been delivered, the green sunflower soup, and asked Zhang Yu to get out of the way quickly.

After the former grain officer was conferred, the fifth Lun line of fire was appointed, and Xuan Biao took over this dangerous post, after recovering his strength, the old dignity and backbone were picked up by Xuan Biao, he is still the young man who shouted "Quiet and bright, take the danger of righteousness", but now he no longer uses his set to demand others and self-discipline.

"Bohu? Let you be a grain officer? Just for three things: fairness, fairness? Still fair! ”

Fifth Lun handed Jia Liang into the hands of Xuan Biao? Together with him, there is also the transfer of interests of Dai Gong, Jin Dan and others before? Two hundred stone of grain for him.

In the past, each person could only be allocated two and a half buckets of grain per month? Now it's three and a half.

Another Biao brother? The seventh biao was in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "Sect Master, where is the food for the private servants and personal guards?" It can't be the same as ordinary soldiers. ”

Is intimacy and proximity to be manifested by external material distribution? The higher the status, the more people who are cited as cronies by the fifth Sima? deserves preferential treatment on meals, this is common sense, and it is also another kind of "fairness", otherwise why would they come to stand guard for him?

Fifth Lun also simply: "I will transport smuggled food from home to solve the problem of food and clothing for these dozens of people." ”

Since it's an elite family? Then he simply let them eat the food of the fifth clan and wear the clothes of the fifth clan. Fifth Lun had already let people bring enough bedding from Changling? Personally distribute it to Zang Nu and the others, so that they can live happily.

Fifth Lun also knows this? Zang Nu has never overshadowed this thing, and he has been wearing stars and moons for more than 20 years? Got straw here? The boss is a man? At the moment when he was wrapped in the futon, he howled and cried.

On the other hand, on the first day of Xuan Biao's assumption of office, the pigs were delighted to find that their food had changed from a thin porridge with clear soup and little water to a thick porridge that could stand for a moment with chopsticks.

The increase in food at the entrance is more visible than the same food and clothing, or the same words. So when he was on the daily patrol of the fifth lun, he saw the pigs and pigs bowing down to him from the bottom of their hearts.

"For them, the good and evil of the chief officer lies in whether or not they are given a few more bites of food every day."

After having a small team, the heart of the low-level pig was also caught by the fifth Lun, and after that, he began to shoot at the middle-level officers in the battalion: the non-commissioned officers.

According to the reports of Xuan Biao and others, as well as the observation records of the Fifth Lun Pingsu, the three non-commissioned officers in the battalion who treated the non-commissioned officers most harshly were dismissed from their posts one after another for various reasons. Except for one person who succumbed to the promise in a gloomy manner, the other two left the barracks directly after looking at Dai Gong for help to no avail.

Although Wu Lun still gave briquettes to the military officials, acquiescing in their continued empty salaries, and the crime of deducting food also made the grain officials take the blame, and did not expand the blow.

But after all, things hurt each other, and Dai Gong secretly scared, all the military officials were uneasy, and they didn't know if it would be their turn next.

But the best opportunity to resist has been missed, and now in addition to his personal servants, Wu Lun has also gathered fifty loyal and brave guards to protect him to the death, burning Shangguan and stabbing him in the back is really not easy to do.

What's more, Wu Lun still knows the national teacher, and he is a little jealous when he is a hundred and a scholar.

It became extremely difficult to incite the low-level soldiers to oppose the Fifth Lun, and as the days went by, the view that "the Fifth Sima is a good person, and the military candidates, the hundred generals, and the soldiers are bad people" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But Dai Gong, who prides himself on being the shadow chief officer in the camp, of course will not sit still, and when he finds that the little tricks are no longer helpless Wu Lun, and his wings are being pulled out one by one, he can't help it, and finally moves out of his backstage.

On the 10th day of the first month of January, Wu Lun received an order to go to the lieutenant's camp.

……

This meeting with Liang Qiuci was not at all as harmonious and relaxed as the last time.

"Fifth Sima has done a great job." As soon as the fifth Lun entered the door, Liang Qiuci put down the slip in his hand and made a straight face.

"Within a few days of taking office, he cut down a grain officer and removed three non-commissioned officers."

He sneered: "Such a drastic move, you almost demolished the camp, let's talk about it, what do you want?" ”

The fifth Lun Nene should be, he knew in his heart that someone must have come over in advance and said bad things about himself, his eyes glanced behind the curtain, maybe that person was still there at the moment, he was an outsider, and he really couldn't compare with the school captain's lineage.

He only explained: "The captain misunderstood, it was really too much for some soldiers in the camp to be greedy and cruel to the dead soldiers frequently. The subordinates were afraid that before the army was opened, there would be few soldiers left in the battalion, so they punished one or two, and had no other intentions! ”

"Heh, you son, if it's the first time you're in charge of the army, you don't understand that doing this is actually the opposite of the opposite, and it will only backfire."

Seeing that the fifth Lun's attitude was not bad, Liang Qiuci's tone softened a little, and began to reason with the fifth Lun at length, still talking about the theory of not getting drunk all over the world and waking up alone.

He patted his belly and said: "I just became a military officer like you, and I want to make a difference, but the result is that I don't obey my orders, it is difficult to command, and my colleagues hate him, so it is better to do something than to do nothing." ”

This is the old principle of officialdom, as a new officer, you must learn to look at the atmosphere. You can do what others do, don't be a maverick, that will break everyone's conventional rules and become the target of public criticism.

But the fifth Lun is a little special, he is different from those self-sustaining generals, while benefiting the bottom, but also maintaining the transfer of interests to the top, he will not interfere with as much as he should exploit. The knife only cuts into the middle layer, and the goal is to eliminate the disobedient soldier Sha and replace it with his own people.

But in the eyes of Liang Qiuci, Dai Gong is his own person, but Wu Lun's move is to touch the forbidden side.

As a dignified captain, do you care about the interests of the goose plucking?

No, the most important thing is the obedience of the subordinates and the control of the grassroots barracks!

How to control it? No matter which official office it is, it is the chief official of flowing water and the iron-clad official. What really supports the operation of a camp is the military waiting and the hundreds.

As long as you control two military candidates and a few hundreds, you can set up the Air Force Sima, let them obediently listen to the words of the captain, no matter who goes up, everything is under the control of Liang Qiuci, saying that the east is the east, and the west is the west, and the military Sima does not need to have his own thoughts, just obey.

Now that the fifth Lun has just been in office for a few days, he has three punches and two feet, disrupting all the arrangements of Dai Gong, and has the intention of recreating the situation in the camp, Dai Gong came to complain: "Is the fifth Lun targeting the subordinates?" No, he's targeting the lieutenant! Now it is still rampant in the camp, and when it comes to the border plug, the fifth Lun dares to disobey the military order and do it himself! ”

This is the most taboo for the captain, as for the life of the soldier in the mouth of the fifth Lun, it is not in Liang Qiuci's consideration at all: what he cares about is not the combat effectiveness of the army, but whether he is obedient or not, who to listen to! As for those cheap pigs, how many died, when the time comes, it will be enough to be strong in the station!

So, Liang Qiuci stopped Wu Lun's explanation, the military officials in the camp were afraid of what national teachers, but he was not afraid, and only said with a straight face: "As a general, you should work together, and the past is not to blame, let me stop!" ”

"Otherwise, believe it or not, the captain will remove you from your post now?"

Hearing this, Dai Gong, who was hiding behind the camp tent, showed a smug smile.

He most hoped that Wu Lun would rush forward with enthusiasm, and then argue with Liang Qiuci for a few more words, so as to confirm his accusation of "not listening to the command". In that case, Liang Qiuci would definitely regard Wu Lun as a big trouble, and dismiss him in a few days, or kick him to other battalions, and then he would win.

Unexpectedly, the fifth Lun was as good as a stream, and arched his hand and said: "The captain has learned a lesson, and the subordinates have understood!" ”

……

"It's really hard to make changes in the system."

Leaving Liang Qiuci's camp, Wu Lun only sighed like this.

Everyone is controlled by this system that has accumulated shortcomings for many years, like a puppet pulling the strings, the more and more troubles are entangled, and finally they can't move, and they have no thoughts of their own, so they can only follow the inertia of the system.

Fifth Lun touched the knife on his waist, and only secretly gritted his teeth and said: "I really want to cut through the mess quickly and smash all these containments!" “

But the time is not right, in this environment, Wu Lun has to be careful, not only to expand his power in the camp, but also not to provoke the captain Liang Qiuci too much. Otherwise, after an order, he would not have a really strong backer, so he could only leave with his private servants.

In that case, we will have to start all over again, and the camp that has been pulled back from a hundred steps of evil to fifty paces will have to be restored to its old state.

And the only hole card of the fifth Lun can not be too fast, what is the use of winning a moment? Really and Liang Qiuci tore his face, in the future, the captain has the opportunity to kill himself, and by the way, let the eight hundred pigs suddenly accompany the burial, such as sending them deep into the hinterland of the Huns to act, and if they don't obey the order, they will be cut down, and their heads will be hung with the grain officer, who will cry out for him?

When he returned to the camp, Dai Gong still greeted him with the hundred soldiers, and under the humble and humble appearance, there was a secret pride, and he felt that he had won.

Fifth Lun also responded with a smile, his radicalism was over, and he had gained enough power to have room for maneuver.

After that, the relationship should be eased a little, Wu Lun pondered, and when he got to the side plug and had room to play freely, he could find a chance to take the life of this old dog!

But before the butt was hot in the camp, Liang Qiuci sent someone to call Wu Lun back in a hurry.

After meeting again, Fifth Lun saw that Liang Qiuci was unhappy with the boss in his heart, but he could only show a smile to comfort him, and then said: "Fang Cai, General Gengshi has entered my camp to protect the army and the Wang Party. ”

"And brought a piece of news."

Liang Qiuci said in a low voice: "General Gengshi has said that in a few days, His Majesty will bring the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to inspect the camp. ”

"When the time comes, you have to go to the front row of my department."

Fifth Lun immediately understood why Liang Qiuci's attitude had changed, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as Sima, who knows if the emperor would remember it when the time came, and asked: "Where is Fifth Lun?" ”

This is his greatest confidence, and it is also the reason why Liang Qiuci, despite being dissatisfied with Fifth Lun, is still discussing with him, instead of directly exercising the power of the chief official, and simply driving Fifth Lun away.

"Within a few days, you will be able to decorate your subordinate soldiers!"

"How many days are you?"

Liang Qiu gave a straight face: "The itinerary of the Son of Heaven, how can we know?" ”

The fifth Lun promised to secretly complain, so Wang Mang may also come tomorrow, how can he be considered "able to see" with this virtue in the camp?

He had an idea in his heart, and only said, "The subordinates will do their best, but I have a request." ”

"You son, don't take an inch." Liang Qiuci could only agree: "You can be satisfied if you say it is not too much." ”

"In the past ten days, there will be enough food!"
