Li Luo ignored the whispers of the congregation generals, glanced at everyone and said, "The generals listen to orders." ”

"The last general will obey orders." The generals in the tent replied in unison.

"General Mingwei Kuang Lizhi, call for the winter cicada."

Hu Cha Dong Chan and Kuang Lizhen were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that they were the first general to receive the order, so they hurriedly got up and saluted, and responded: "The last general is there." ”

"Lead the left battalion of the army, according to this secret letter, arrest all the merchants listed above, seal all the property, and if there is any resistance, behead. Hu Chajing, you will draw out another thousand and five in the Yue cavalry camp, and hand them over to the command of Hu Cha Dong Cicada together, and gather three thousand cavalry. ”

"Yes, the last will obey." The three of them took orders in unison, and Hu Cha Dongcicada glanced up at Li Luo, as if he felt that Li Luo was killing too heavily now, and he would condemn life and death at every turn, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, and then said: "It's just that the last general will arrest people like this, for fear that some people will not accept it." ”

Li Luo smiled imperceptibly and continued, "My Star Sword is still in your hand." ”

"Ahh Hucha Dongcicada's face turned red, and he quickly glanced at the generals in the tent, and saw that everyone was looking at him with a smile, so he hurriedly lowered his head and replied softly: "Here I am." ”

"Okay, you bring the Star Sword, and then bring this secret letter from the Privy Council, if anyone is not satisfied, I and Lord Yang will support you, all those listed on the secret letter will be captured, and if the local state officials get in the way, they will be taken down together."

"Yes, the last will obey." Hu Cha Dong Cicada responded.

"General Kuang, this time you and the county lord of Mucia will investigate this matter together, and the soldiers will be very fast, try to capture all the people listed in the secret letter, and if a few slip through the net, let them go. This time, General Kuang is the main leader, and the county lord of Mu Chan listens to General Kuang more along the way, and he must not act without authorization. ”

"The last will obey." Kuang Lizhen and Hucha Winter Cicada received the order. Hucha Winter Cicada looked unhappy at first, but after receiving the order, he saluted Kuang Lizhen and sat down calmly, Kuang Lizhen returned the salute, nodded secretly, and sat down himself.

"Huaihua Zhonglang will be Qin Shutong, and Guide Zhonglang will be Qi Shaobing."

"The end will be." Qin Shutong is better, Qi Shaobing heard Li Luo read his name, his voice was a little choked, since the last time he fled without a fight, after being scolded with sixty military sticks, Qi Shaobing has been nervous, deeply afraid that Li Luo has a bad heart for himself, today when he heard Li Luo's order, he almost cried bitterly, but Qi Shaobing has always been like this, everyone has long been used to it, and Li Luo is up to him.

"The two of you led 5,000 troops, and registered all the grain and grass in the two prefecture cities of Shahu and Tianshui, and gathered them.

"Yes, the last general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the general." Qi Shaobing didn't wait for Qin Shutong to reply, and replied first.

Qin Shutong thought for a moment and replied: "General, the merchants are always reluctant to deal with the government, if we rashly seize all the grain and goods in their hands, the general may stir up public resentment and cause other troubles. It is better for the last general to send troops in various important towns of Shangfu to register all grain and grass transactions, so that it can not only prevent merchants from trading privately, but also not easily arouse public anger. ”

As soon as the words fell, several people in the tent turned their heads and ears, quite moved by Qin Shutong's proposal. Li Luo was not annoyed, nodded and replied: "What General Qin said is very true, forcibly paying grain is indeed easy to arouse public resentment, but this is just an expedient measure, you can just do it." As for collecting grain, it will be handed over to General Qi to do, and I think General Qi has a way to let these merchants hand over the grain and grass. ”

"That's that," Qi Shaobing hurriedly replied, sneering: "Don't worry, the general can have at least ten ways to make these people obediently grass out of the grain." After speaking, he turned to Qin Shutong and said: "General Qin, don't worry, this time you are right, I am the auxiliary, let General Qin see the methods of the young general." ”

Qin Shutong frowned slightly, as if he still couldn't put his mind at ease. Seeing this, Liu Ce continued: "General Qin, you do what the general wants, remember that the military law is strict, and there must be no such thing as enriching one's own pockets and forcibly taking and plundering. ”

Qin Shutong saw that Liu Ce agreed, and Qi Shaobing also kept persuading on the side, thought about it for a while, and said calmly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Li Luo nodded, stood up, and all the generals also stood up, Li Luo glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "There is more than a month before the end of the year." ”

The generals were stunned, not knowing what Li Luo meant, only Shen Xiangdong and Liu Ce glanced at each other, the essence flashed in their eyes, and they all looked at Li Luo, who was a little emotional.

Traveling in the Valley of the Winds, just after noon.

A team of chariots and horses walked slowly through the valley, winding for miles, with extremely deep ruts, and the mules and horses struggled to pull the carts along the road.

In the middle of the procession, beside a carriage, two soldiers were talking in a low voice as they walked, and from time to time they had to push the carriage by hand, when the young soldier asked, "Wu Tou, how far is it to get there?" ”

"It's only been more than half of the way, and it will take half a month to bring these baggage to our camp." The older soldier craned his neck, looked at the endless queue in front of him, and sighed.

"Ah, then we can't make it to the New Year? When I came out, the generals in the camp began to prepare for the New Year's goods, and the rear army they caught a lot of cattle and sheep as well as chickens, ducks and fish, and I had a fellow who was in the rear army, and he secretly told me that the general had spent a lot of effort this time, so that they could do it well in the rear army. The young soldier exclaimed in surprise and said with a look of regret.

At this time, he rode from the front of the team and shouted to the two: "In the queue, don't make noise, look around and look around." ”

"Yes, yes." The older soldier hurriedly responded, "The new recruits don't know the rules, the general please calm his anger." ”

The cavalry snorted, said no more, and rode out to the rear. The young soldier pursed his lips and muttered, "What's the spirit! ”

The older soldier glared fiercely and shouted, "Shut up." Look at it in the future, these are patrol horses in the army, and you have the right to cut first and then play on the battlefield, and your neck can be harder than his knife? ”

The young soldier was startled, and hurriedly shrunk his neck and said, "Huh? After speaking, he turned his head to look at the patrolman who was going away, and said with envy: "Then I will also be a patrolman in the future." ”

The elder sneered, "You learned to ride a horse first." ”

When the young soldier heard this, he walked to the side dejectedly, and lost his spirit. Seeing this, the old soldier smiled helplessly, patted the young soldier's shoulder, and said: "Look at you bear-like, our infantry battalion is not without cavalry, and besides, if you have made military achievements, you will be taught and taught in the army to teach you riding and martial arts, and the generals will do it when the time comes, not to mention a small patrol horse." ”

The young soldier's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Wu Tou, is it true?" Don't lie to me. ”

The old soldier couldn't laugh or cry, and nodded in response. The young soldier was happy again, and after running forward, shouting from time to time to help push the carriage, and after a while he was tired and panting, and stumbled to the old soldier, unable to speak.

The older soldier glanced at it and said slowly, "You should push the carriage back to our camp." ”

The young soldier gasped and asked, "Wu, Wu Tou, what's in here?" So heavy. ”

"Hmph, all the money and wealth of the black-hearted merchants who defected to the enemy and treason in Shahu and Tianshui are here, and there is also requisitioned grain and grass in the back, how much strength do you have?"

The young soldier gasped and asked in shock, "This, it's all here?" ”

The older soldier seemed to realize that he had said too much, and whispered: "Don't ask, remember not to talk nonsense, or see how I clean you up." ”

The young soldier didn't seem to listen, but just looked at the carts with dementia, and muttered to himself, "Mother, how much does this cost!" ”

The procession marched slowly in the conversation between the two soldiers, one young and one young, mixed with the shouts of the patrol riders from time to time.

In the middle of noon, the young soldier looked up at the overcast sky and said, "Wu Tou, it looks like it's going to snow." ”

The older soldier also glanced up and said, "Well, looking at the posture, this snow is not small." As soon as it snows in Xifu, the wind blows, and the people who hit it can't even open their eyes. After saying that, he sighed.

Several heralds at the front of the queue rode their horses and shouted: "All units rest on the spot, light a fire and cook, and as soon as noon is over, start the army immediately, and there must be no mistake." ”

At the order, all the units in the team immediately stopped and began to cook in an orderly manner. After working for a while, the older soldier looked at the kid next to him with a demented expression, and said angrily: "Little Liu, what do you want, if you don't want to give up, come and help." ”

The young soldier replied dumbfounded: "What if someone robs the camp and robs all the treasures in this weather?" ”

The old soldier was so angry that he was about to scold, when suddenly a terrible whistle sounded in the distance, and he heard a wild shout: "Someone has robbed the camp!" ”

The old soldier was also stunned, and it took a moment for the shouting sound next to him to wake up, and he woke up the shocked Xiaoliu, who was already shocked, and scolded: "Look at your broken mouth, this time Lao Tzu will not die, I will definitely pick your skin when I go back." ”

Xiao Liu asked with a sad face: "Wu Tou, what should I do?" ”

The elder soldier shouted: "What a panic, copy the guy, follow us." After speaking, he picked up the long knife and gathered with the rest of the team, lined up the military formation to prepare for the battle, and when Xiao Liu saw it, he hurriedly took the knife and followed.

At this moment, several patrolling horsemen came galloping and shouted: "Soldiers, move the carriage to the middle of the road, set up a spur formation, and retreat to the southeast slope, ready to repel the enemy." ”

All the soldiers shouted together, six carriages formed a formation, placed in the middle of the road, just after the formation, I saw thousands of troops and horses galloping in from the valley mouth, and the big flag erected in front of it was the Ninger Peak under the command of Xirong Zuoshuai.

Xiao Liu's face turned blue with fright, and he asked tremblingly, "Wu Tou, why are there so many of them?" We don't have enough people to stuff their teeth. ”

"Shut up, look at your potential, you still want to be a patrolman. Do you see which ranger is shivering like dough behind others? Go home and drink your milk, save me a shame here. The older soldier scolded.

A soldier of a similar age next to him smiled: "Okay Uncle Wu, your first time on the battlefield, it is estimated that you are about the same as Xiaoliu, don't scold, you can live it." ”

Wu Bo sighed dejectedly, turned back to Xiao Liu and said, "Be clever for a while, live, I'm dead, collect my body for me." ”

Xiao Liu was stunned, his eyes were hot, and he choked up: "Wu Tou"
