Chapter 851: A Void (2)
"Whatever you want them to do, just kill them all."
Peng Shichang said angrily.
Sitting next to Peng Shichang, another man with a tiger's back stretched out his fist and hit him, and said with a wicked smile: "I heard that Cheng Xisi just spent a lot of money last year and took Yuexue as a concubine, such a big beauty, you are willing to kill it?" ”
Yuexue is a famous prostitute in Jiangnan, who was just ransomed by Cheng Xisi last year and included her own family as a concubine, which was rumored to be a romantic affair for a while.
Peng Shichang said with a smile: "Of course, good things are to be left to the big handsome, you kid dare to grab white food, look for death." ”
The man laughed and said: "Lao Peng, Da Shuai loves me the most, just a woman, Da Shuai will not be so stingy." ”
"Shut your stinky mouth, dare to make a loud noise, don't blame me for being rude."
Huang Baichuan saw that the voices of these two bastards were getting louder and louder, and he suddenly became a little angry, glared at the man angrily, and scolded loudly.
The man shrugged his shoulders, raised his hand to hit Peng Shichang, and reprimanded: "Dashuai said you, speak quietly, don't make noise to others." ”
Peng Shichang rolled his eyes and leaned to the side, ignoring the bastard.
Huang Baichuan glared at him fiercely, the man smiled, didn't speak, and was honest.
This man's name is Wu Zhai, nicknamed invincible, with the courage of ten thousand people, is the first fierce general in the Huang Baichuan army, since he was a child, he likes to fight and make trouble, he killed people in his hometown in his early years, and he can only die in the world, just met the rebellion of the White Turban Army, because he hated the corruption and oppression of the people in the government, so he joined the White Turban Army.
Wu Zhai was not Huang Baichuan's subordinate at the beginning, but belonged to someone else, a high-level infighting in the White Turban Army, Huang Baichuan was implicated and almost killed, because Huang Baichuan had a lot of names for benevolence and righteousness in the White Turban Army, Wu Zhai was also very respectful, so he tried to let Huang Baichuan go.
After the White Turban Army was pacified, many people were taken prisoner, and Wu Zhai was among them, because of his rough and wild personality, unwilling to be humiliated, and in anger, he killed the guards of the government soldiers, who were originally going to be executed, Huang Baichuan remembered the grace of saving his life, and spent a lot of money to buy up and down to rescue Wu Zhai, since then, Wu Zhai has followed Huang Baichuan to do it, until now, more than ten years.
There were more than ten people sitting in the lobby, and the high-level figures of Huang Baichuan's forces were basically all there, they sat there quietly, without speaking, obviously waiting for someone.
After a while, a middle-aged literati hurriedly walked in.
Huang Baichuan's henchman and chief strategist Huang Zhiwen arrived.
When everyone saw Huang Zhiwen coming, they all got up and saluted, and even Wu Zhai, who had always been arrogant, called Mr. Huang very respectfully.
Huang Baichuan entrusted all the internal affairs to him to take care of, and he was only in charge of the military, so many years, Huang Zhiwen has always been honest and selfless, fair and just, and employing talents, his reputation and prestige are second to none in Caizhou, and no one does not admire.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
Huang Zhiwen apologized to everyone.
Huang Baichuan said with a smile: "They are all their own brothers, don't be so polite, sit down, let's discuss it." ”
Huang Zhiwen came to Huang Baichuan and sat down, and then scolded a general with a cold face: "General Chi, you have to rectify your subordinates well, and you are doing nonsense everywhere when you enter the city, it's just nonsense." ”
Chi Gong hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said: "What Mr. said is that after the meeting is dismissed, I will immediately purge the army, and if there is any violation of military discipline, I will definitely be punished heavily." ”
Huang Zhiwen saw Chi Gong's attitude, and his face softened a little.
Huang Baichuan waved his hand, motioned for Chi Gong to sit back, and then said to Huang Zhiwen: "Zhiwen, I'll talk about other things later, let's start the discussion, the old rules, start with you." ”
Huang Zhiwen nodded, and looked at the generals: "The marshal summoned everyone here, I won't say it, you should have guessed something in your hearts, right?" ”
Wu Zhai is straight, he was the first to speak up: "Mr. Huang, the imperial court recruited my Caizhou soldiers and horses to fight against Cheng Xihei, we are just making a show, who wins and who loses between the court and Cheng Xihei is a matter of our, but now it is a sudden army to defeat Yizhou, and we are all a little puzzled." ”
"Yes, for so many years, the court has ignored us, we have been in Caizhou for more than ten years, lack of food and clothing, not enough food and clothing, and now we can use us, as soon as the order is issued, I want us and Cheng Xisi to work hard, how can there be such a good thing, I think, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to rob in Yizhou, and then go back to Caizhou, take care of so many things."
Zhang Kequan said very disapprovingly.
Zhang Kequan's words immediately resonated with many people.
The vast majority of these people were born in the White Turban Army, some of them were Huang Baichuan's subordinates at the earliest, and some people were not, the White Turban Army was huge, and the imperial court had been conquering for several years, which was difficult to quell.
Huang Baichuan is a very smart person, and he also has vision and foresight, he has long seen that the Great Jin Dynasty is indestructible, and the White Turban Army is fighting like this, and the courage of force will not become the general trend after all, so after the imperial court issued a surrender order, Huang Baichuan immediately sent someone to secretly contact the government, and defected at a critical moment, cutting off the back road of the White Turban Army, and taking this as a name to surrender to the imperial court.
After the White Turban Army was quelled, Zhao Zhi assigned most of the remnants of the rebels to Huang Baichuan, and then packed them and took them away, all of which were rushed to Caizhou.
When Huang Baichuan first went to Caizhou, there were more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the military power was unparalleled for a while, but the poor Caizhou simply couldn't support so many people, in less than a year, the 50,000 army was half of the escape, Huang Baichuan had no choice but to streamline the soldiers and try to maintain the army at about 20,000 people.
Huang Baichuan has been in Caizhou for more than ten years, and he seems to support the army and has a prominent status, but in fact, he has lived a very hard life over the years.
Huang Baichuan is like this, and the generals under him will only get worse.
Therefore, Huang Baichuan's military group, from top to bottom, for the imperial court, has deep grievances, the previous battle of Jiangnan is a microcosm, Huang Baichuan also participated, but he saw the opportunity early, and once again stepped on his own people to survive, plus Zhao Zhi had a big fear of Wang Huailie at that time, out of checks and balances and precautions, he finally pardoned Huang Baichuan and let him continue to sit in Caizhou, and Wang Huailie restrained and balanced each other.
