Chapter 40: Sending troops to fight the thieves

Yangzhou, Zhongfu.

The Zhong family is a hereditary magnate, and it is one of the most wealthy families in Yangzhou, and its mansion can also be imagined.

Zhong Bai was dressed as a son-in-law, and his steps were in a hurry, and he was about to meet his father.

But just as he passed through a courtyard, the door of a side room suddenly opened, and then a young man in white slipped out quietly.

The young man was slender, with a hosta hairpin, a white brocade robe, and a brocade belt around his waist.

As a result, the latter had already seen him, and immediately shouted: "Stop me!" ”

Hearing the cheers, the young man pouted, and in desperation, he could only turn around and face Zhong Bai, looking aggrieved.

The latter stepped forward quickly, came to the young man, and when he saw his outfit, he couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but say, "Look at you! A girl's house, dressed as a man all day long, often sneaks out of the house, causing trouble everywhere, what kind of system! ”

"I want you to care about ......me," the young man whispered, while also sneaking a look at Zhong Bai's face.

When Zhong Bai heard this, he was angry: "I'm your brother!" Eldest brother is like a father, if you dare to mess around again, see if I don't clean you up! ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, the young man was immediately aggrieved, and he also stomped his feet fiercely, shouting: "Brother, you are always like this!" ”

"Okay, okay, this time, it's an extraordinary time, don't make trouble everywhere anymore, stay at home, I still have something to find my father." After Zhong Bai finished speaking, he left directly.

But after he left, the young man ran out again, he disguised himself as a man, but it was difficult to hide his beauty, not only his facial features were exquisite, but his lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyelashes were thick and long, especially a pair of eyes, smart and good-looking.

And Zhong Bai's father has long been sick in bed, and the current Zhong family is all in charge of Zhong Bai, and after he found Zhong's father, he knelt directly on the ground in front of the bed, and saluted: "Father." ”

Seeing that it was him, Father Zhong sat up strongly, and said in a haggard voice: "Son, do you have something to find your father?" ”

"Yes, father." Zhong Bai got straight to the point and said: "Right now, the traitor Wu Yuan is openly rebelling and causing chaos in the world, the time has come, great things can be expected, my Zhong family will surely create the glory of the past!" ”

"En......" Father Zhong pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How are you going to act?" ”

Zhong Bai said: "Son is ready to scatter all his wealth, recruit soldiers, and raise troops to defeat thieves!" I came to ask my father. ”

Hearing this, Father Zhong first took a deep breath, the financial strength of the Zhong family was beyond doubt, the corners of his old eyes moved first, and then said: "You have great ambitions, for your father to know, but the matter of raising troops is not trivial, just having money, you can't do it." ”

"That's what my father said." Zhong Bai said: "Those who have achieved great things, gold and silver, are only one of them, the most important thing is to have people, and those who have won a general can defeat thousands of troops, but over the years, children have made friends with righteous people, whether financial or manpower, have been completed, and great things can be achieved!" ”

"Okay." Father Zhong heard him say this, and nodded directly: "Go ahead, father supports you." ”

"Thank you, father!" Zhong Bai saluted again.

A few days later, Zhong Bai raised troops in Yangzhou, directly stated that he wanted to crusade against the traitors, hoe traitors for the country, and began to recruit soldiers on a large scale.

In just two months, there were already many soldiers in the Zhong Mansion.

At this moment, in the council hall, Zhong Bai is located directly above the main seat, and on both sides below, he is standing under his heart.

After a while, a man walked in quickly, then clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a loud voice:

"I heard that Gongzi raised troops to fight thieves in Yangzhou, Liang Yuan specially led two hundred villagers, day and night, and came to defect, willing to serve the dogs and horses under the command of Gongzi!"

"Good!" When Zhong Bai heard this, he said in a straight voice: "With Brother Liang to help me, why worry about the big thing, please join the list." ”

Only a moment later, another big man walked in briskly.

"Childe's previous life-saving grace, in the next eternal unforgettable, now I hear that Gongzi is raising troops, with five hundred armor, willing to be the pioneer of Childe!"

"Good!"

This scene is the result of Zhong Baiguang's alliance with a righteous man, and in his mansion, over the years, I don't know how many chivalrous people have been raised.

This team, in a short period of time, has gone from strength to strength.

After the ordnance was built and the preparation of grain and grass was completed, Zhong Bai immediately led an army of 30,000 and waved his army north.

At the same time, Liucheng.

The Son of Heaven ordered all counties to recruit soldiers on their own, and the news of quelling the rebellion had already been conveyed to all places, and at this time, Xiao Yuan was also gathering the generals to discuss the troops.

Peng Shuang took the lead in speaking: "Although the Son of Heaven is mediocre, but the traitor Wu Yuan is even more hateful, this person took advantage of the situation to rebel in the midst of the people's fire and water, tyrannized the world, and slaughtered the city many times. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he bluntly said that the Son of Heaven was mediocre, and in the feudal dynasty at that time, it was a big crime to kill the head, but no one said anything to the generals in the account, which also shows that their gang is very united.

Ye Cheng said: "How to decide, it is all up to General Xiao to decide, and I am willing to listen to the general's orders." ”

"That's right!" The others also said in unison, and then they all looked at Xiao Yuan, waiting for his order.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan stood up and began to pace back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he said:

"Now, the Son of Heaven has announced to the world and ordered the whole country to quell the chaos, but the only problem I am worried about is that our grain, grass and ordnance are all subject to Yu Anmin, and if we send troops, we will be pawns."

His analysis was not wrong, and all the generals were silent, but at this time, Liu Yuzhi stood up and said:

"I look at the general's ambition, not here, at this time, the general must send troops, otherwise, he will be trapped in Liucheng forever."

Xiao Yuan looked at him.

Liu Yuzhi continued: "The general's previous analysis is not wrong, our grain, grass and ordnance are subject to Yu Anmin, and the latter will definitely use our army as a chess piece for him to make contributions, and he will definitely let the general be the vanguard force to attack the city for him!" ”

"But even then, the general must send troops! Because on the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly, and once there is an opportunity, the general can break away from the army and fight alone! And this quelling of chaos is also a godsend! The general is not to be missed. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed a ghostly light, and then he looked around at the generals and said categorically: "Send troops to kill thieves!" ”

He adopted Liu Yuzhi's opinion, and once he made a decision, the order was also given decisively and crisply, without the slightest indecision.

When the generals heard this, their bodies were shocked, and they responded in unison: "Order!" ”
