Chapter 13 Meeting the Grass Flying
"I have seen the general in Xia Tang Zheng, and I have long heard that the general has a good way of leading the troops." Tang Zheng brought Han Dang and Zhang Chao in, and flew towards the grass sitting on the main seat and complimented.
"I came to see the general today, and I hope the general will forgive me for the abruptness."
"Hahaha, why do you think that I am the chief general here, I don't know what happened when you came to see Ben General, you must know that Ben General has never been soft on your officers and soldiers, aren't you afraid that there will be no return?" Cao Shangfei first laughed three times, and then asked Tang Zheng.
"The general's appearance is majestic and extraordinary, how can a small soldier compare. Moreover, the position where the general sits is the main position, although the general loves the soldiers like a son, but the discipline in the general's army is strict, and the camp of the main general allows others to be presumptuous. Besides, the general's usual robberies are for the gentry and heroes in the township, which makes people eager to get rid of them even if they meet them in the next place, so I don't think the general will be embarrassed in the next place. Besides, I came here today to show the general a way out, and I don't know what the general wants. Tang Zheng directly picked out the intention.
"Oh, I don't know what kind of clear path Brother Tang has to point out the general, could it be that Brother Tang wants to let the general return to the imperial court, could it be that Brother Tang was sent by the imperial court, I heard that Brother Tang is the lieutenant of Tuyin County, and the gap is not small compared to the previous general." Grass Fei said with a smile on his lips, with a mockery in his eyes.
"The younger brother knows that he is not as good as the general, but I don't know if the general has thought about what the future path should be, does the general plan to take his brothers to make a living by robbing all the time?" Tang Zheng didn't care either, and asked rhetorically: "As far as I know, it seems that every time the general loots the grain is distributed to the people nearby, and now the entire Youbeiping General is probably becoming more and more difficult to loot the grain." I guess that there is not much food in the general's barracks now, and this time he has been staying in Tuyin County because he has not yet found the next target, and the entire Youbeiping is rich and unkind, and the rich squires have been almost looted by the general, and they will not say that they have no extra food, and the general can't bear to start. Tang Zheng's words just said the sore spot of flying on the grass.
The entire Youbeiping was almost looted by him, and if he wanted to go farther away, he would not say if he could find food, even his soldiers would not allow it.
In the past, he could lead a large group of people to rob the rich with injustice and dissatisfaction, but now his brothers have long been tired of this kind of life when they are wandering around and being no different from bandits, and now he can still suppress this dissatisfaction with the affection of his brothers in the past, and he does not know how long he can suppress this dissatisfaction.
Now the food is not good, and most of the big families in the countryside have built dock forts to defend against bandits like them.
Tang Zheng arranged for Grandpa Cheng to buy so much grain before, which also had the credit of flying on the grass, at that time, everyone was afraid of becoming the next target of looting, and the grain in their hands was sold one after another, so that Tang Zheng could buy so much grain.
Cao Shangfei waved his hand and retreated the soldiers around him, and only Tang Zheng and the three of them were left in the camp tent. Cao Shangfei looked at Tang Zheng squarely for a while and said, "So what? Do you want me to surrender to the court? When I was on the border, my whole family was killed, what was the crime of my whole family, and how did the court treat me? Hahaha, raise troops to rebel. What I got in exchange for ten years on the border was that my family was ruined and people rebelled. Just because that guy is Taishou's brother-in-law? What if such a court is reversed. I, Wu Yifan, have a clear conscience, but I have suffered these brothers who were born and died with me, and shed blood for their family and country, but in exchange for the reputation of an anti-thief. Tang Zheng looked at the grass flying for a long time, but he didn't expect that there was such a story in it, Zhang Chao and Han Dang also looked at the grass flying dumbfounded.
Grass flew for a while and continued: "I, Wu Yifan, as a tooth general, have never complained, when I first knew that my family was killed, I also asked for an explanation from Thorn Shi and Taishou, but they kept shirking, and then I inquired clearly only because the son of the squire Wang Fu fell in love with my wife, so he took someone to spoil my wife at night, and later I was afraid that the matter would be revealed and killed my family of 24 people." I went to Taishou to severely punish the murderer, just because Wang Fu was Liu Taishou's cheap Taishan, Taishou insisted that my family was killed by thieves, I went to Assassin Shi Guo Xun Guo Envoy Jun to ask for an explanation, and Assassin Shi also said that my family was victimized by thieves. But afterwards, many neighbors saw Wang Fu's son come out of my house, covered in blood. In addition to grief and indignation, I led troops to destroy Wang Fu's family overnight. Guo Yuanjun and Liu Fujun said that I raised troops to rebel, went to the sea everywhere to catch papers, and arrested me. How can I not oppose such an official government. ”
"General Wu mourns, but what has happened has happened, and General Wu also stabbed the enemy. Even if General Wu doesn't think about himself, he has to think about some of his brothers, does General Wu plan to take them all the way around. Tang Zheng looked at Wu Yifan and said comfortingly.
Unexpectedly, the famous grass flying is still a tooth general on the edge. At the same time, there is a deep disappointment with what the current officials are doing.
"Now the officials have done nothing, they only know that they are full of their own pockets, and they do not care about the life and death of the people in the world, so that if the people are not living today, the people are everywhere, has General Wu ever thought of taking his brothers to seek a stability for the people of the world." Tang Zheng said to Wu Yifan,
"General Wu is benevolent and righteous, often helping the people around, General Wu can know that if today's disasters and man-made disasters continue, General Wu does not have four ways to help like this, I see that in addition to the necessary patrol team in General Wu's camp, none of the other soldiers have seen or trained, presumably General Wu's camp is afraid that there is not much food, after all, the consumption of close to 2,000 men and horses is also a lot of consumption." Tang Zheng told the story.
"Oh, I don't know if Brother Tang has any good methods, or is it that some adult values Wu's people and sends Brother Tang to be a lobbyist? It is not easy to let a talented person like Brother Tang be a lobbyist, and it is not easy to look at the identity of a person who values Wu. Wu Yifan looked at Tang Zheng with a smile, he now knew Tang Zheng's intention, and now he was not in a hurry to watch Tang Zheng's performance quietly.
"General Wu has won the award, he is not a talented person in Xia, and he does not represent anyone to recruit General Wu. It's just that I feel that a character like General Wu can be trapped by a few villains. For example, today's disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and the princes of the DPRK and China are pouring into each other, and the officials only care about filling their pockets and do not care about the life and death of the people in the world. In Xia Bucai, he built a Rinshan City in the backing village of Tuyin County, and the younger brother wanted to ask General Wu to sit in the Rinshan City, so that those young people could dispel the hearts that should not be born. Tang Zheng said to Wu Yifan with a straight face.
"Hahaha, I thought it was someone who took a fancy to me, it turned out to be Little Brother Tang, but Brother Tang, do you think this is possible?" Wu Yifan also said to Tang Zheng with a straight face.
It's not that he looks down on Tang Zheng, he just thinks that Tang Zheng is too young, only seventeen or eighteen years old at most. This made him feel at ease to put the net worth and life of his brothers in Tang Zheng's hands.
He had also heard that it was from a young man, and that the people of Rinyama Castle were now recruiting homeless people.
He also fought the idea of Rinyama Castle, but later I heard that the businessmen and people who came and went had a good evaluation of the place, and there was no oppression, everything was trading on the principle of fairness and justice, and as long as you were willing to pay, you would definitely reap the rewards.
It was because of this that he gave up the idea of plundering Rinyama Castle. It's just that I didn't expect Rinyama Castle to come from the hands of this young man in front of him who has not yet reached the crown.
To be honest, he was also a little moved.
"General Wu, there is nothing impossible about this, Rinshan Castle is said to be my own hand, but it was all established by the local people and the recruited exiles, I just put forward an idea, and the rest has nothing to do with it. Besides, I am not recruiting General Wu on behalf of myself, I still have self-knowledge of how much ability I have, and I am here to ask General Wu and his brothers to sit in Rinshan Castle and protect the safety of Rinshan Castle on behalf of the people of Rinshan Castle. Now is a time of chaos in the world, and Rinyama Castle is just lacking loyal and brave people like General Wu. Tang Zheng said to Wu Yifan sincerely, if Wu Yifan can be said to move Rinshan City, there will be more strength, and when the Yellow Turban Rebellion is imminent, the world will be even more chaotic, and warlords will fall against each other.
With Tang Zheng's current 500 Mo Dao battalion and more than 200 archers plus 36 cavalry, this force is not enough to protect the safety of Rinshan City, Tang Zheng has no intention of making wedding dresses for others.
This time, I was going to go back to recruit soldiers after training, but I didn't expect to meet Wu Yifan, who had defected, these are battle-hardened soldiers and cavalry, which just complements the Modao battalion with insufficient mobility.
If this team can be recruited to Rinyama Castle, the security of Rinkyama Castle will be greatly improved. Wu Yifan was also moved, now that he was short of food and grass, if Rinshan City was really as rumored, it would be a good place to go.
But he still didn't show anything on his face, he just said to Tang Zheng in a deep voice: "Brother Tang said that I will consider it, and I still have to discuss it with my brothers, after all, this is a big deal." Also, if we surrender to Rinyama Castle, the imperial court will ask us to be handed over, and I don't know what the Tang Brothers will do. ”
"The little brother that General Wu can think of has already thought that as long as General Wu and his brothers join Rinshan City, Rinshan City will be responsible for your safety, and no matter how much pressure the imperial court exerts at that time, Rinshan City will come forward, please rest assured General Wu." Tang Zheng assured Wu Yifan.
At that time, the court will just delay it, as long as it is delayed this year, the court will not have the energy to take care of these things next year.
"Since Brother Tang said so, why don't Brother Tang stay for two more days, so I can discuss a result with the brothers."
"Okay, since General Wu has this plan, I will stay for two more days. As long as General Wu has the result, he can send someone to the camp tent to inform him, and he has been out of the camp for a long time to pay homage first. ”
"Since Brother Tang is in a hurry to return to the camp, I will not stay longer, and I will send someone to inform Brother Tang as soon as there is a result. Please. ”
The little brother was waiting for General Wu's good news in the camp opposite. General Wu stayed. Wu Yifan kept sending Tang Zheng and his party out of the camp before turning around and going back to gather his subordinates to discuss the matter of serving Rinshan City.
