140. Decision

Bao Kui couldn't help it, so he still opened a bottle of wine from Pork Rong, first poured it for Zhang Mian, then poured it for himself, and after taking a sip, he sighed and said, "Lord Zhang, that's 110,000 taels of silver.......

On this expedition, they hollowed out Sanhe's family foundation!

It's not terrible to lose, it's terrible to lose money!

If you can't make ends meet, you and the prince may really tear them apart!

"This ....."

Zhang Mian thought of this character who regarded wealth as his life, and hesitated suddenly.

This and the prince's favorite thing must be money!

went back so inexplicably, or empty-handed, and how would the prince treat them?

You don't have to think twice about it!

Bao Kui sighed and said, "Master Zhang, you are well-informed, you should think of a way." ”

At least don't lose money.

It's a pity that Sanhe is barren, otherwise he would have been eager to rob a few big households!

Zhang Mian drank the glass of wine, and after holding the wine glass again and filling it by Bao Kui, he took a sip after clinking glasses, and said curiously, "When I was under the account of Yang Changchun, I fought with Wadan, and it was a bitter battle.

You have dealt with the Ashoka barbarians, and you have also been to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion.

Barbarian and ferocious, I've heard of it, but how about this Liangzhou rebel? ”

Shouldn't it be the same as Yuezhou?

He wanted to find a word to describe it, such as collapse at the touch of a button?

But it's not appropriate, after all, they haven't come into contact yet, and when they don't even know what kind of troops they are, the rogues start to run away!

The Jin Ke clan troops encountered later, claiming to be 20,000 people, were actually more than 10,000 people, and it was still the overseers who were holding big swords and bows and arrows to attack them with a reluctant face!

They released a round of random arrows, shooting and killing a hundred and ten people, the thieves were not bad, did not retreat, continued to rush forward, and their side was indeed panicked for a while.

But as the cavalry rushed forward, the rogue suffered more and more casualties, so they hurriedly retreated, and a serious stampede occurred, and the overseers were useless.

When the attrition statistics were made the next night, most of the dead and wounded people were because they saw this kind of battle for the first time, and in a panic, they instinctively ran away, panicked, and some fell directly into the mountain stream and fell or died.

Some of the unlucky ones were run over by the carts of cattle and baggage.

When an animal is frightened, it is completely uncontrolled.

There were only one or two who were actually cut by the enemy who rushed down from the mountain.

And the officers and soldiers under him are roughly in a similar situation, and most of the recruits who have been expanded later have no experience in military formations.

When the thieves' broadswords came, they were so frightened that they forgot to dodge.

Some were directly chopped off by the fierce rogue.

Fortunately, in the end, it still won.

And the win is inexplicable.

It was an easy battle.

Bao Kui sneered, "Lord Zhang, Wu Baishun, the head of the thieves in Liangzhou, called out for a million, saying that he was exterminated, but now he is still at large in Jinzhou, Ningzhou, and Yuzhou.

once chased General Zhang Bi for a hundred miles, how could he be idle? ”

"Then what's so special about this Liangzhou thief?"

Zhang Mian asked puzzled.

"My Liang country raises millions of soldiers, and the most bitter thing is the border army, and the military salary is only two dollars and five cents, which is not enough to eat for two days,"

Bao Kui took another sip of wine and snorted coldly, "The border army and military households are already poor, so naturally they will follow suit."

Most of Wu Baishun's subordinates were border soldiers and post soldiers.

Although the officials are greedy and weak, and the armament has been slackened for a long time, they have all studied martial arts since they were children, and they should be over on the school field.

A few more words, even what about the Beijing camp and the forbidden army in front of us, you and I know it in our hearts. ”

Zhang Mian was silent for a long time, and sighed, "It's only hard for General Yuan, General Mei and others to support them outside." ”

Bao Kui snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the prince here, Lao Tzu would have turned against his mother a long time ago!" ”

"Brother Bao!

Please be careful! ”

Zhang Mian couldn't help but change his face.

"Hmph," Bao Kui poured himself a full bottle of wine, and said disdainfully, "Lord Zhang, is it possible that you still have to go to the secret guard to inform?" ”

"You and my brother have been in this state for so long, and to say this is to see the outside,"

Zhang Mian said helplessly, "It's just that the wall has ears, Brother Bao should be careful." ”

"What if it makes people listen to it?"

Bao Kui laughed and said, "Others are afraid, but I am not afraid of someone!" ”

"Brother Bao, drink this cup together!"

After Zhang Mian finished drinking the wine in the cup, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "You and I are already like this, I don't know what Brother Bao can do?" ”

In any case, he could no longer return to Baiyun City empty-handed.

"This Jinke is also a little poorer, just a thousand taels of silver,"

Bao Kui frowned and said, "Lord Zhang, we can only go to Yuezhou in person." ”

"But the prince meant to only resist the homeless."

Zhang Mian was quite skeptical, after all, he was the main commander of this expedition, and if something really happened, he was the one who was responsible.

"But the prince didn't say that he was not allowed to go out of Sanhe or enter Yuezhou,"

Bao Kui suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, wealth is in danger, besides, what danger can there be with these goods?" ”

Zhang Mian pondered for a long time, and drank the wine in the cup again.

Before dawn, the officers and soldiers of Sanhe and the people who had seven or eight miles along the mountain road began to make a fire to cook, and when the rice was cooked, there were still thieves who fled from time to time, who could not stand the mosquito bites and hunger, and drilled out of the mountains and forests along the fragrance.

One after another, there were three or four thousand more people.

When they were full, they were all tied up as before.

Then he was escorted back to Baiyun City by the people.

Bao Kui sighed, "These people are really good at eating." ”

He was afraid that they would not have enough food to bring.

Zhang Mian glanced at Jin Ke, who was huddled in the tent, half-dead, kicked it over, and snorted coldly, "How is it, hero?"

"My lord, please spare me......"

After being tortured all night, Jinke couldn't survive and couldn't die, and finally couldn't hold on at this moment.

"Pretending to be a good man in front of Lao Tzu, you are still too tender,"

Zhang Mian, as the commander of the South Gate Soldiers and Horses, is also in charge of the prison, he has seen too many such people, and he is also very confident in his interrogation methods, "Say, who is the person who came here to Yuezhou?" ”

"Chen Zhong, he's just a waste,"

Jin Ke said as he shuddered, "Big ...... People, you can rest assured. ”

Bao Kui asked, "Who is the richest among the rogues?" ”

Jin Ke didn't understand the meaning of this, but after a while, he still said, "Naturally, it's Huang Sifang." ”

"Where?"

Bao Kui asked after him.

"I'll come... When he was in Daxi...."

Jin Ke was suddenly stepped on by Bao Kui on his chest and was out of breath.

Zhang Mian said to the left and right, "Escort back to Baiyun City." ”

This kind of person is a drag on the road, not to mention that it has no value.

Zhang Mian found seven or eight homeless people as guides and marched all the way to Daxi.

Along the way, except for a few unfashionable rogues, the road was unimpeded.

But after seeing the boundary monument between Sanhe and Yuezhou, Sanhe's cement road also came to an end.

In front of you are undulating mountains, the mountain road is rugged, if you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff, fall down is crushed.

It's hard to walk, let alone a heavy vehicle.

Zhang Mian discussed with Bao Kuiyi, and prepared to bring only three grades or more into Yuezhou, and the rest of the people were all on standby.

However, to their surprise, in addition to the 800 officers and soldiers, there were more than 600 people among the 20,000 people who were above the third grade!

"Pork Rong, what are you making a fuss about?"

Bao Kui asked.

"Commander Bao,"

Pork Rong said with a smile, "You said that all those above the third grade will follow, and I am the third grade!" ”

He and Bao Kui are old acquaintances in the capital, and they are not afraid at all.

Bao Kui said in a loud voice, "You all retreat, this trip is desperate, you are a people's husband, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Li Sanniang said, "Commander Bao, I don't like to hear what you say, everyone is a person who practices martial arts, even against the upper bandits, we are not afraid."

I even cut down three people with my own hands! ”

"The shopkeeper of Li doesn't let me admire,"

Bao Kui arched his hand and said, "But everyone has gone to Daxi, and it is not appropriate to leave this place unguarded, so I will bother the shopkeeper Li to preside over the overall situation here." ”

In the end, he couldn't help but say that he and Zhang Mian only took more than 83 officers and soldiers to Yuezhou.
