Zu Gongmao nodded, took a sip of wine with a smile, and continued: "Not to mention anything else, the imperial court really did not add a grain and a penny of military salary to Mucheng, and now our Mucheng garrison has been reduced to eight thousand, and the reason is that the military can only be paid by the adults themselves." Speaking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile, raised the wine in his hand and toasted everyone, and continued: "Fortunately, my lord got a lot of silver before, otherwise how would our defenders of Mucheng hold on. ”

Wu Song didn't expect that the imperial court was so unkind to see Mucheng, he should have taken the initiative to give up Saibei, and he didn't give a penny of military salary, only relying on the silver looted by Zhang Xiaowu, how to support the military salary of 8,000 soldiers, so he couldn't help asking: "Can the adult's silver last for half a year?" ”

"Probably." Hu 30,000 Dao.

Zu Gongmao thought for a while and said, "Twenty years is not a problem, if there are only 8,000 soldiers." ”

Wu Song was shocked: "Isn't it just a little bit of looted silver? ”

"700,000 taels of silver, the military salary of the Qinglong Army for one year."

Wu Song almost turned his back on his anger, this 700,000 taels of silver is still called a little? This can kill people.

Hu Sanwan sighed and said with a smile: "This secret is only known to us old people, and adults have never thought of monopolizing this money, so the old brothers of our old camp are warm in their hearts, even if he takes it?" ”

"Do you think adults are as good as you?" Zu Gongmao teased.

Hu Sanwan then talked about the situation in Mucheng, at the end of January, the imperial court sent Su Yu to lobby the Inuyi Alliance, but Zhang Xiaowu was worried that Su Yu alone could not do it, so he led Ruan Qingwen to go with him, and spent four months on the front line of Yajin, and finally achieved success. Under some efforts, the Yan Ya and Beiyi took the initiative to withdraw their troops, and Shengfan was forced to withdraw the army, and other servant armies also moved, and the Inuyi coalition army was about to collapse, and the situation in Saibei was getting better and better.

After Zhang Xiaowu and others returned to Mucheng at the end of May, they adjusted the deployment in the city again in just a few days, and everyone took up their duties. Xiao Kai and Hu Li were in charge of the city defense, Zu Gongmao and Shen Lindong were in charge of the garrison, Wen Ruyu was in charge of the heavy grain and grass, Li Yuan was in charge of the scout cavalry, Li Chuncheng was in charge of public security, Guancheng was in charge of the garrison, and Hu Sanwan was in charge of inquiring about intelligence; In terms of civil officials, Guan Xiang served as the commander of Mucheng and was also the chief bookkeeper, Ruan Qingwen was appointed as the county leader, and Zhang Tongming was appointed as the chief catcher of Mucheng.

"Originally, this head catcher should have been Zhao Suo's." Hu Sanwan sighed.

Wu Song's expression darkened, he felt guilty about Zhao Suo, and always felt that it was because of himself that Zhao Suo was imprisoned. Hu Sanwan was relieved when he saw this, and after Wu Song joined the army in the future, he became Zhang Xiaowu's deputy, and among the 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Mucheng, he could be said to be really above 10,000 people under one person. And Zhang Xiaowu has great ambitions, and the specific fortifications of Mucheng still need the assistance of Wu Song.

Zu Gongmao smiled: "Adults will not forget us, nor will they slack off us." ”

Wu Song nodded and said, "After coming back this time, I also heard some things from my subordinates during my cultivation, and found that he had changed a lot, and he seemed to be more calm, and he was not tyrannical at every turn. ”

"Because he is the lord of the city." Hu Sanwan laughed.

Zu Gongmao shook his head and said, "He is only twenty years old. ”

Wu Song was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "You say, the adult is only twenty years old?" ”

"Yes, only twenty years old."

Wu Song said: "Looking at the face, I thought I was in my thirties. ”

Hu Sanwan hurriedly sighed and said with a smile: "Don't let adults hear it." The three of them laughed again, and Wu Song said: "In terms of mental calculation, I really can't see that the adult is only twenty years old, I heard that he is just a commoner, how can he have such a mental calculation." After those scholars, I am afraid that there is no calculation in his mind. ”

Hu Sanwan said: "The adult is quite intelligent, has extraordinary martial arts, does not love money or sex and is sympathetic to his subordinates, and can buy people's hearts, it is really strange, how he is so good." ”

Zu Gongmao said: "The great man is flying, in the Two Wolf Pass, when I accompanied him to participate in the Twelve Golden Hairpin Douyan Meeting, he wrote poems to impress the students of Hunzhou and Daizhou, and even that Murong Thirteen also took the initiative to cling. ”

Wu Song said: "Are the three of us a sycophant?" The adults are not here, and the horse was not photographed. ”

"Hahaha......" The three of them laughed again, and after drinking, Wu Song said: "In my opinion, the adults will have some achievements in the future, and you and I must cling to the adults." ”

"Nature, nature." Hu Sanwan said, "Speaking of which, I have followed him for the longest time, and I know him the best, he is a big-hearted person, as long as you are loyal to him, it doesn't matter if you make some small mistakes, you have made a big mistake, as long as you are loyal to him, he will forgive." ”

Zu Gongmao immediately grabbed the words: "It's like you're greedy for money and food? ”

Hu Sanwan blushed and shouted: "Nonsense, where am I greedy for ink?" I took it openly! Besides, I take money and food, not to do some inconvenient chores for adults, you are good at this! ”

Zu Gongmao shook his eyebrows and smiled, deliberately angry with him.

Wu Song hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't quarrel, don't quarrel - or you will kill him, right?" ”

"Then you are so persuasive, you bad seed." Hu Sanwan scolded with a smile.

Wu Song said: "But what the lord wants, I can't guess, if he wants to do something, he will do everything possible, but what he wants, do you know?" The two shook their heads, and Wu Song said: "I always feel that adults seem to have a kind of heart that is detached from you and me, more like I am reading a story in a history book." ”

Zu Gongmao said: "What do you mean by this? ”

Hu Sanwan also scratched his head and said: "Mr. Wu's speech is too responsible, and our heads are not enough. ”

"I mean, he's not from our world, he's so scary to calm down, and his choices rarely seem to be wrong," Uzon explained. Do you remember when he killed an old woman who slandered him in the street? He killed someone without even thinking about it, without any hesitation at all, if it were you and me, where would there be such a quick reaction? Holding his chin, he said, "So there is something in my lord—something that is beyond you and me." ”

Hu Sanwan laughed and said, "You are so good at slapping, I am ashamed of myself and my ancestor, hahaha...... Come, drink, drink. ”

Wu Song took a sip of wine and thought, "I'm not a sycophant, I really found that he was too calm." ”

Early the next morning, Wu Song got up before dawn to prepare for his actions, and after the morning meal, he came to the garrison embassy, and everyone in the palace was already busy. Wu Song heard that Zhang Xiaowu was practicing martial arts in the backyard, so he asked people to take him to the backyard, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Xiaowu practicing riding and shooting. This backyard is the yard where Chu was almost trampled to death by a horse and was coincidentally saved by Zhang Xiaowu, covering a wide area, riding a horse and shooting a circle, shooting a hundred arrows is only half hit, and the other half of the arrows are just grazing the target.

The guards applauded loudly, but Zhang Xiaowu was not satisfied, he was a sharpshooter captain back then, but now he can't shoot accurately, he is really ashamed.
