Wei Qing stared at the slain soldier. He didn't want to see more of the relief, but because it was the first time he had seen a kill up close. He had to force himself to adapt, because in the future, he would not only see more close-range killings, but he would also kill himself.

The camp quickly fell silent. Those who played acrobatics, teased dogs, basked in the sun, slept and so on, stood up one after another, hurriedly sorting out their clothes and looking for weapons.

Wei Qing glanced at the soldiers around him and ordered loudly: "Order, the whole team, it's time to pay!" ”

This order was extremely effective, and in the blink of an eye, all the soldiers who could move stood in order, even the wounded soldiers stood in line.

Wei Qing stood in front of the team, looked at these soldiers, and asked loudly: "Raise your hand if you haven't received your salary for more than three months!" "All hands are raised! He was secretly shocked in his heart, and then asked again: "Raise your hand if you haven't received your salary for more than six months!" "All hands were raised, and none of them were put down.

Wei Qing gasped.

After fighting the Jin Empire for three years, these soldiers have not received their salaries for at least six months! He didn't know how many hands he would have raised if he had asked "those who have not received their salaries since they joined the army," but if all the soldiers had not received their salaries for at least six months, would it be necessary to ask any more?

This was something Wei Qing didn't expect, he thought that although there were not a few people who didn't receive the salary, it wouldn't be all. I really don't know what the Ministry of War is doing? But at this time, it was useless for him to blame anyone, so he could only hold on.

He said loudly: "This official wants to pay everyone, are you willing to take a few more steps to receive it?" ”

"Yes!" All the soldiers replied in unison, and all of them had excited looks on their faces. Don't say take a few extra steps, even if you walk dozens of miles, you are willing.

"Good!" Wei Qing pointed his hand in the direction of the Jin military camp fence, "Your money is there!" His voice suddenly raised, "You don't want to fight because you don't have any money, do you?" Then I tell you, in the Jin military camp, countless gold and silver have been plundered, and these are the wealth of our great man! If you continue like this, then it won't be long before you don't have to think about any more money, because if you refuse to fight, the golden army will be like no one, your homes will be burned, your parents, wives and children will be killed, and you yourself will not be spared! Don't talk about the salary, all the property in your family will become the salary of the Jin Army! He suddenly waved his hand vigorously, "The official didn't bring a penny of silver, and even the official didn't have any money!" Anyone who thinks that he should not fight without money can now lay down his arms and go home, and the official promises that he will not be held accountable! ”

He put his hands behind his back and stood there waiting. He knew that his face had not changed, but at the same time, he knew that his palms were sweaty.

All the soldiers stood silently, no one spoke, and no one moved.

"Your Excellency!" A soldier suddenly shouted, "When are we going to attack the Jin army?" This inflamed the ranks of the soldiers, and the soldiers shouted, "Yes, when are we going to attack the Jin army?" ”

Wei Qing's face was still so calm, but his hands were clenched tightly behind his back. He did it! There was no mutiny, but the morale of the army was inspired!

"To each his team!" He ordered loudly, "This official is here to lead you to defeat the Jin army!" ”

Bai Buxin immediately went forward to a station, commanded the soldiers to return to the camp according to the team, and arranged for the soldiers to tidy up the fence and take turns to guard, he did not hesitate to continue to issue various orders, it was as if he had made a plan for three days in advance, all the soldiers took action one after another, busy but not chaotic, each returned to its place, and in a blink of an eye, the entire military camp was completely like what a military camp should be.

Wei Qing watched silently from the side, admiring Bai Buxin in his heart. Saying with his mouth that everyone can do it, but if you really want to actually fight, only Bai Bu believes that such a general is the real talent.

They reorganized their ranks, and waited for half an hour, only to see the three generals return with dozens of soldiers, their horses dragging more than a dozen wild beasts, and the wild beasts were followed by dozens of wild dogs barking wildly, and the soldiers kept driving the wild dogs to prevent them from taking away the wild beasts that were coming.

Wei Qing looked at the three of them coldly. At the moment of the great enemy, they all went out to hunt?

"It's weird." Bai Buxin said softly.

Wei Qing's heart sank. Yes, that's weird. One person is an idiot, two people are an idiot, are all three idiots? Don't understand that you shouldn't go hunting in this situation?

The three of them all listened to the soldier's report, and they didn't seem to panic at all, and the three of them dismounted together and came to Wei Qing.

As if they had been commanded, the three of them took off their helmets at the same time.

"Guerrilla Lord," said one of the first Commanders, "the three of us have violated military discipline and hunted without authorization, so please punish the Guerrilla Lords." ”

"I haven't said I'm going to punish you yet." Wei Qing said, "The three of you each report your name and tell me why you all went out hunting?" ”

All three looked a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the guerrilla adults were not in a hurry to punish them, but wanted to hear their reasons for hunting.

"The last general, Lin Chong. These two are Hua Rong and Li Guang. The man replied.

Wei Qing nodded: "Lin Dutong, please tell me, why did the three capitals go hunting and abandon the whole army?" ”

Lin Chong sighed. "Guerrilla lord, do you know that there are only ten days' food left in the army?"

Wei Qing wasn't much surprised, just sighed secretly.

Since entering the barracks, there have been so many things that have surprised him. With no money and no food, how can you have fighting spirit if you treat soldiers like this?

He asked, "Since there is no food, why don't you report it to General Liu?" ”

Lin Chong smiled bitterly: "How can you not report it?" But General Liu only had ten days' food in his hands, and he didn't know if he wanted to come to the guerrillas. ”

Wei Qing's face was slightly red. He only came into contact with the military chores today, of course he didn't know. He coughed, and then asked, "Even if there is no food in the army, why do you need the three of them to hunt together?" Even if one person is left in the battalion, he can manage the soldiers, and the three of them go out together, in case there is a change in the army, how is it good? ”

Lin Chong looked at the other two and stopped talking.

"I'll tell you!" Hua Rong said, "No matter who leaves his post to hunt without permission, he will definitely lose his head, at least he will lose his military position!" The three of us knew that the only way to solve this urgent need was to hunt, but neither of us would let others benefit from the guilt, so the three of us went out together! If you want to kill the head, please kill three heads of the guerrilla master! ”

Wei Qing looked at these three people, and was in a dilemma for a while. If these three people are not punished, where is the military discipline? If these three people are punished, it is really unreasonable and will lose the morale of the army. Out of the corner of his eye, he could already see a figure swaying at the door of the big tent, and someone must be eavesdropping, wondering how the guerrillas would punish these three people.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Li Guang, can the three of you be guilty?" ”

"The last will be convicted and willing to be punished!" The three of them replied in unison, and there was no guilt in that voice.

"Okay, this guerrilla will punish you. Listen to the three of you, the three of you are not allowed to get a piece of the prey obtained this time, and all these prey will be divided and cooked by the three of you yourself, and you are not allowed to hand it over to the army to cook! After Wei Qing finished speaking, he turned his head to prevent the smile on his face from being seen by the three of them.

All three of them were stunned. "The punishment is over?" Li Guang asked in a lost voice.

Bai Buxin shouted on the side: "Why don't you go and be punished quickly? ”

The three of them, you look at me, I look at you, all have smiles on their faces, and they all salute Wei Qing, and they come out.

Only Wei Qing and Bai Buxin were left in the big tent for a while.

Wei Qing looked at Bai Buxin, and Bai Buxin also looked at Wei Qing, and there were smiles on both of their faces.

Wei Qing suddenly asked: "Bai Dutong, we just lied in front of the whole army, lying that I brought a salary, why aren't you nervous at all?" ”

Bai Buxin smiled: "How does Wei Guerrilla know that I'm not nervous?" Xia Guan is indeed nervous in his heart, but extraordinary things, there must be extraordinary plans, Xia Guan can't think of what kind of strategy, but he knows that Wei Guerrilla must have a strange plan, otherwise why tell such a big lie? ”

Wei Qing nodded deeply. He felt in his heart that Bai Buxin seemed to be born to cooperate with him. He couldn't help but make up his mind, if he really soared in the future, he would let Bai Buxin be his deputy no matter what.

"Let's go and observe the enemy." Wei Qing said.

Bai Buxin returned to a taciturn state, and just nodded.

Half an hour later, Wei Qing re-elevated. There are not many people in the tent, only Wei Qing, Bai Buxin and the three major capitals. Because they have to study the enemy's situation and prepare a battle plan, this kind of secrecy cannot be allowed to everyone to participate.

Wei Qing looked at these three people and was secretly amused in his heart. The hands and bodies of the three were greasy, and their faces were not only full of oil, but also their faces were covered with sweat.

The three of them had just cut the meat of the beast into the pot, and the meat was not yet cooked, so Wei Qing sent someone to recruit the three of them. They didn't have time to wash their hands and faces, so they had to come to the Chinese military tent.

"How many more soldiers do we have?" Wei Qing spoke.

Lin Chong arched his hand and said: "Guerrilla, there are still 2,500 soldiers available. ”

Wei Qing nodded, and then asked, "When General Lin was there, did he ever attack it?" ”

"Yes." This time, Hua Rong replied, with a little uncertainty on his face, "The soldiers under him are the main force, and they have attacked several times, but they have not succeeded." ”

Wei Qing snorted. He didn't blame General Lin for being incompetent, he attacked with such a morale soldier, and he didn't fail.

"Prepare torches," he commanded, "to-morrow we will burn the fence of the enemy's camp, and with 2,500 men against 800 of the enemy on flat ground, we shall be victorious." ”

The three all looked at each other, but no one responded to the order.

Wei Qing was surprised and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Li Guang said: "Guerrilla, General Lin also used this strategy, but it was also unsuccessful. ”

"Why?" Wei Qing was secretly shocked in his heart, how could such a good plan not succeed?
