The general knows his father? Chen Xun was taken aback.

"Haha! Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs! Geng Xiaofan put the military token back and laughed, "I respect you for daring to take responsibility, as a general, you should be responsible for the soldiers." But if he was only plundering, he would have two lives! If you don't kill him, how can you explain to the sufferer? ”

Chen Xun was speechless, his eyes widened angrily, and he glared at Zhang Teamzheng.

"Manly man, dare to act! I'm the one who kills people and sells goods, and I have nothing to do with others! Zhang Gu also figured out the situation at this time, and knew that he couldn't get away with the crime today, so he simply became a hero.

"Good! It's a man! Geng Xiaofan walked up to him, "But there is something unfinished, and General Ben will do it for you at his discretion." ”

Zhang Guyu hesitated and glanced at everyone, and knelt down in front of Chen Xun, "General Chen, the villain has smeared your face, and you can only apologize for your sin!" ”

"Hey!" Chen Xun couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Gu got up and faced Geng Xiaofan again, "General Geng, you said that the first evil must be done, and you never ask!" I hope the general will keep his promise! ”

Zhang Gu was "righteous and awe-inspiring" at this time, which made Geng Xiaofan a little reluctant. Through the fight just now, he found that this Zhang Gu was indeed a good soldier.

It's easy to kill, but it's not easy to make up your mind to kill!

He hoped that someone would stand up and plead again, but everyone couldn't figure out his temper, and they all watched with their eyes.

"Zhang Gu's crime is extremely heinous, and the canonical punishment is not enough to make the people angry! Let's go down first, and the public trial and referendum tomorrow! Geng Xiaofan had no choice but to find a step for himself.

Although the generals were puzzled, they didn't dare to ask more, and dispersed on their own.

"You can't bear to kill him?" There was no one else in the tent, and Zhao Lin asked cautiously.

"He is guilty of death! It's easy to kill him, I just want him to die more usefully. ”

"Oh!" Zhao Lin was thoughtful.

"Zhao Gong, let's go around the camp." Geng Xiaofan still wanted to see the situation of Zhao Hu's troops.

It was getting late, and all the battalions were burying pots for cooking, Geng Xiaofan turned around casually, watched, and quickly discovered the problem. The food in this unit is not very good!

"Send the quartermaster to me!" Geng Xiaofan spoke, and after a while, the quartermaster trotted over.

"How many days of grass do you have left?"

"I can last ten days." The quartermaster replied carefully.

"With this kind of food, can everyone eat enough?" Geng Xiaofan scooped the gruel in the pot and asked.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. The stock of grain is insufficient, and it has been transferred to Hanzhong, and it will take about ten days to arrive. There has been no fighting recently, so ......" the quartermaster accompanied the smiling face.

"So what! The soldiers can't eat enough, so they can figure out their own way? Run out to plunder caravans, plunder villages and towns? Geng Xiaofan's face darkened.

"General, this is also something that can't be helped!"

"Of course we have to find a way, but we are an army, not bandits! Even if it is raised on the spot, it cannot be taken by force! Pass General Zhao Hu to the camp to discuss matters! Geng Xiaofan had an idea.

After another turn, back to the camp, Zhao Hu and the quartermaster were already waiting.

Geng Xiaofan spread out the map and pointed to several nearby villages and towns, "I have walked through this trade route twice, these villages and towns are very rich, there are many landlords and wealthy households, they must have stored grain, send people to them to raise money." ”

"This ......" Zhao Hu hesitated a little.

"What's the difficulty?"

"There are indeed some wealthy businessmen in these villages and towns, but they are all high walls, and I am afraid it is not easy."

"Knowing with reason, moving with emotion! What is the situation now, if the imperial court does not suppress the bandits and quell the chaos, can they have a good life? Let them donate voluntarily, but they are really reluctant, so they will borrow my order! The court has promised me 100,000 yuan of grain, and the rest of the month will come, and I will return it to them when the time comes. ”

"Borrow? Is it feasible? Zhao Hu began to calculate.

"How do you know if you don't try? Send someone to invite me the armor and the richest man in these villages and towns, and I will borrow them from them! ”

"Please? How please? ”

"Salute first, then soldier! Take my name post to invite, if you dare not come, you will be arrested directly! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Hu didn't say more, he also wanted to see how this General Geng "borrowed grain".

"And! The long march of thousands of miles is not easy, and we can't let everyone go hungry! From tomorrow, wartime rations will be resumed. If anyone dares to go out to loot without permission, they will not be spared! Geng Xiaofan spoke again.

"Yes!" Zhao Hu took the quartermaster down to set it up.

"Master Hou, can you borrow it? What should I do if I can't borrow it? Zhao Lin was a little worried.

"If they have food, I will borrow it! You don't need to worry about that. In the evening, you can help me draw up a letter of surrender. ”

"Surrender?" Zhao Lin was taken aback.

"That's right! It's better to salute first and then soldier, whether it's useful or not, I have to give Zheng Gong a chance. Geng Xiaofan arranged it, looked at the dinner prepared for him on a few cases, there was wine and meat, it was not bad, he picked up half of it and went out.

"You eat it yourself, I'll go see that Zhang Gu."

When he came to the tent where Zhang Gu was being held, Zhang Gu was tied up with ropes and thrown in the corner.

Geng Xiaofan ordered him to loosen his ties, and then took the guards.

"General, this is sending me a guillotine meal?" Zhang Gu had the intention of dying, and he was not afraid at this time.

"Sort of!" Geng Xiaofan didn't care, sat down opposite him, poured wine, and started eating.

Zhang Gu was not polite, and also began to eat meat and drink, "The general is really benevolent and righteous, he can make me a full ghost, and I have no regrets in this life." Ha ha! ”

"No regrets? The eldest husband can't be shrouded in horse leather, is it glorious to die in such a wretch? Geng Xiaofan said coldly, and then asked, "Who else is in the family?" ”

"There is an old mother, brother and sister-in-law at home." Zhang Gu's expression darkened.

"You've never been married?" Geng Xiaofan looked at Zhang Gu and felt that at his age, he should have been married.

"The family is poor, with only enough food and clothing, and there is no marriage." Zhang Gu replied, but his face was embarrassed.

"What's so hard to say?" Geng Xiaofan asked.

Zhang Gu hesitated and didn't answer, the curtain was lifted, and Chen Xun walked in, also carrying a pot of wine and some food. When I saw the situation in the tent, I was taken aback.

"Huh! General Chen came just in time, come, drink two glasses together. Geng Xiaofan didn't get up either, and beckoned Chen Xun to sit down as well.

"General Geng, Zhang Gu has been with me for a few years, I, I'll send him." Chen Xun didn't hide it, and sat down generously.

"You say you, a man, why do you have to kill someone?" Geng Xiaofan sighed.

"General Geng doesn't know that Zhang Gu hates the caravan." Chen Xun poured Zhang Gu a bowl of wine and sighed. "His childhood sweetheart was deceived by a passing caravan and sold as a slave for thousands of miles."

"Oh! Did you find it later? Geng Xiaofan understood Zhang Gu's unspeakable secrets.

"The body was found, and the person had been ...... Ay! It's terrible! Chen Xun sighed.

"Has the murderer been caught?"

"Murderer? has been sold into slavery, what murderer is there? ”

Geng Xiaofan remembered that when he was in Liuquan Fort, Fei'er joked with himself, "Replace Ping'er who made mistakes with three sheep." What "human rights" did the slaves have at this time, that is, the lambs of their masters!

"Has the caravan been found?" Geng Xiaofan asked again.

Chen Xun and Zhang Gu both shook their heads.
