Yang He changed, his eyes became his eyes, and he was also full of anger at the moment.

I saw him slap the case and scolded:

"These dog thieves, relying on someone in the court, will do evil, and I asked the General Administration for the military salary deduction before, and bluntly said that if the military salary is not paid, the matter will be reported directly to the military department Sima.

The dog thief Zhao Yuan asked me to falsely report the number of pawns, and then make up for the food I withheld.

I don't follow him, I have to sit upright in a certain line, why do I want to be a thief who eats empty salaries, then Zhao Yuan saw that I didn't cooperate, so he hated a certain person and went against a certain person everywhere.

Although there was no longer a deduction of military salaries, but after the weapons issued by the Nanying were dilapidated, and the military food was inferior and unusable, a certain had reported this matter to the military department Sima Xu many times, and only waited for the Rongdi invasion to settle accounts with him. ”

When everyone heard what Yang He said, they all had thoughts of hatred and hatred, and they were all furious.

But thinking about it, these people sitting here at the moment really had no way to take Zhao Yuan, and Zhu Lihua was even forced to leave Yuxiao Pass, and when he thought of this, he calmed down again.

Seeing that everyone was silent, he shook his head with a wry smile, and smiled at Yang He:

"Brother Yang, the way of heaven is clear, cause and effect are reincarnated, why should Big Brother be sad." After that, he looked at Yang He but was silent.

Yang He sighed after hearing this, and suddenly thought that he was a little out of shape, so he smiled again:

"Don't say it, don't say it, brother Xian, a hundred generals will be a hundred generals, and the eldest brother will choose some elite ones for you.

The terrain of Yuxiao Pass is dangerous, and the battle is not in the battle formation, but in the mountains, there are just some Longde guards in my southern camp, and the eldest brother will help you choose some later.

Brother Xian, if you have any other requirements, just mention it. ”

Zhu Lihua hurriedly stood up, made a gesture to Yang He, and said:

"Brother Yang, although you and Lili are old friends, but on weekdays, Lili has no etiquette and has never visited Brother Yang, Brother Yang not only does not complain about Li, but also treats each other so sincerely, Lili is very grateful, everything is up to Brother Yang, but I want to ask Brother Yang for someone."

Yang He laughed and said, "But the soldiers who clashed with Mr. Wei before? ”

Zhu Lihua also smiled: "Brother Yang Mingjian, it is that soldier. ”

Yang He replied: "It's for you, let's go, let's go to the teaching field to order soldiers first." With that, he walked out of the door first, and everyone followed Yang He to the teaching field.

Before everyone arrived at the school ground, some soldiers had already arranged for hundreds of Longde soldiers to wait in the school field.

In fact, it can't be said how efficient it is, but it is not difficult to pull out a team of 100 people, and the conditions are only Longde, so it is even simpler.

Longde County is one hundred and thirty miles south of the original state capital, the west is the Sumeru Mountains, and the south is directly bordered by North Shu Road, where there are many mountains, so compared to the peasants, there are quite a lot of hunters, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, which is also quite helpless, but this has also formed the general fierceness of the people of Longde County, aggressive, and is on the border of Rong and Qin, so the concept of the regional family and country is stronger than other places.

Yang and his party came to the school field and watched hundreds of people stand in line, although the number is not large, but fortunately, it has been training for nearly a year, and it also looks like an army.

Yang He smiled and said to Yu Lihua: "Brother Xian, these people will be handed over to you, when is Brother Xian going to leave for Yuxiao Pass?" ”

Zhu Lihua said: "Brother Yang has trained the soldiers to be like wolves and tigers, but the military order is like a mountain, since the deer charm leads the troops, it is necessary to arrive at the place of the guard within five days, and the soldiers are ready to set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Yang He nodded, of course he also knew that the military order was like this, but he simply said:

"Then the elder brother will send the right weapons, grain and grass, and go to Yuxiao Guan Xian Brother to be careful, take care of everything.

When the enemy returns, he will have a good time drinking with his virtuous brother. ”

Seeing Yang He say this, he hurriedly threw himself to the ground, and Li Lihua said: "This will annoy Brother Yang, and please take care of Brother Yang." ”

With that, Yang He smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

As the commander of the South Gate Battalion, Yang He really couldn't accompany them all the time, and when he saw that everything was arranged, he went to do other things.

After Yang He left, Zhu Lihua, Gao Yunce, Wei Yuanqi, and Liang Qingshu immediately began to check the number of soldiers, not that they didn't believe Yang He, but this was also the rule of the handover of the troops, and at the same time, they had to inform the soldiers of their identities and the location where they were going to fight.

The four of them have been in the General Administration for several years, and they are also proficient in logistics at these points.

In addition, there are already many seniors among these 100 people, and there is no special difficulty in managing them.

So in a short time, he finished the order and told the sergeant to leave tomorrow morning, so that everyone could be ordered to pack up and get ready.

The four of them also followed the sergeant of the South Gate Battalion back to their tent.

That night, the four of them briefly discussed the journey to Yuxiao Pass and the matters after the change, and decided not to set up guards for the time being, and Gao Yunce led 20 people and 20 temporarily recruited servants to be responsible for logistics grain and grass transportation, and Wei Yuanqi and Liang Qingshu each led 40 soldiers.

It was planned to march at a rate of sixty miles a day, reaching the city of Longde on the third day and Yuxiao Pass before the night of the fourth day.

At the same time, some plans were prepared for what might happen on the way that was not conducive to the march.

On the fourth day of the winter month of the 588th year of the Zhou calendar, Zhu Lihua led a hundred people under his command, as well as Gao Yunce, Wei Yuanqi, Liang Qingshu and Liu He, a sergeant who asked Yang He, to bid farewell to Yang He outside the camp at the south gate, and then began to set off to Yuxiao Pass.

After traveling more than ten miles, Zhu Lihua looked back at Yuanzhou City in the distance.

The day he was looking forward to had finally arrived, this was his childhood dream, and he would take his father's glory to the battlefield.

He also hopes that he will not live up to Jiezi's teachings for more than ten years and can give full play to his abilities.

He wanted to laugh like a bird out of a cage, but he held back.

He tightened the belt of the black coat, outlining his lean but thin figure in the wind and snow, he turned his head and looked ahead, a white woman-like face for the first time faded from the pedantic aura of a scholar, revealing a resolute look.

Ten miles away at the south gate of Yuanzhou City, Jieyuan and Lihua's mother have been standing here for a long time, and they can't see Lihua and her party in the heavy snow, but as a mother and master, they only have endless care and parting sorrow at the moment, and as far as their eyes can see, as if their relatives are in front of them.

Looking at it, Jie Yuanyu muttered:

"Xiaoluoli, Xijing has sent a letter, wait for another three years, I can return to the center, you must return safely."

And Fan, who was standing next to Jie Zi, just silently wept, and the tears fell drop by drop into the snow under his feet.

A cold wind swept by, covering the tears that had not yet melted into the thick snow.

The journey was quite smooth, and finally arrived at Longde City on the third day as planned.

Seeing the dark sunset, he chose to camp in a mountain col ten miles west of the city.

Just set up camp, Zhu Lihua and others raised the stove in the account, ready to boil some water to use, but suddenly a sound of footsteps came, only to see Liu He hurriedly ran into the Chinese military tent, and saw Zhu Lihua who was warming up with Gao Yunce and others by the stove, and immediately saluted: "Bingbai General, something is wrong." ”

Gao Yunce and the others also looked at Liu He sweating profusely.

Hearing this, Lihua said slowly: "Don't panic, what's wrong?" ”

Liu He said hurriedly: "A group of people claiming to be the local hereditary officials of Longde City, the Wang family, came to our army to make trouble, saying that our team trampled on his field when they were marching, and asked our army to compensate. ”

Zhu Lihua frowned and said: "The Longde Wang family, and the official doctor, senior brother, should be the Wang Hu family, right?" ”

Gao Yunce thought about it and said: "It should be, this Wang Hu couldn't get along with us everywhere when he was in the General Mansion, last time the governor blamed you for losing the case file, I estimated that this kid did it, and now it is his family who is making trouble, it is really a narrow road." ”

"I'm afraid it's not just as simple as a narrow road." At this time, Liang Qingshu next to him accosted: "This Wang Hu is usually good friends with Zhao Yuan and others, I'm afraid they have already planned it, and they want to make some trouble for us." ”

Wei Yuanqi slapped the table and said: "How can this be reasonable, this Wang Hu also found five beauties from Longde last month and gave them to Zhao Zhize, most of them were robbed by this beast, and we avoided them everywhere, and they also kicked their noses in the face." ”

Zhu Lihua nodded, also agreeing with everyone's analysis, and he asked Liu He again: "How many people are they here?" ”

Liu He replied: "There are not many people who came, there are about 20 people, most of them are dressed in cloth clothes, but there are five people wearing official clothes, and they are outside the gate of our military camp at the moment. ”

"Servants?"

Hearing this, Lihua frowned, looked at the people with blank faces, and said, "Let's go out of the camp and have a look." ”

All the people should "swoop" and went out of the camp together.

The 100-person military camp was not large, but when he set up camp, he specially instructed that the front and rear camps must be set up separately.

Twenty paces between the two battalions were set up to resist horses and barricades, and only the middle was left to pass through the road, so although there was a quarrel in the front camp, the Zhu Lihua in the main tent in the rear camp did not hear it.

But in the end, it was also a small camp, and after a while, everyone saw more than 20 people leading five mule carts to gather at the camp gate and confront the soldiers of the battalion in front of the camp.

The soldiers of the front battalion were led by Wei Yuanqi, and when a chief saw Lihua and others coming out, he hurriedly went up to salute Lihua, Wei Yuanqi and others, and told the troublemakers outside Lihua that they were about to break into the camp.

Lu Lihua smiled, motioned for him to step back first, and then stepped forward and said to the people at the door:

"I went to the border of Yuxiao Pass for the Qin State, and now I am passing through Longde City, camping here for repair, and I will be on my way early tomorrow morning, why do you come to make noise outside my camp?"

A short old man in a brocade dress and a white-haired coat walked out and said to Lihua in a trembling voice: "Doctor Lili, don't come to harm?" ”

Although Zhu Lihua had already seen that this person was Wang Hu's uncle Wang He, he still pretended to look like he had just seen it, and arched his hand and said:

"It turned out to be Wang Shibo, don't come to your old man's house unharmed, I don't know that your old man came to me, and the younger generation is not welcome."

Wang He said slowly: "Doctor Lili is now receiving the king's order, and the little old man can't afford to be a doctor in the world, so I just ask Dr. Lili to raise his noble hand and let go of the little old man's family." ”

Zhu Lihua said: "Wang Shibo, how do you say this? ”

Wang He said coldly: "Your army marched today, trampling on my Wang's field, Wang's family is a villain, and he also pointed to this point of cultivated land, and asked your army to compensate." ”

"Bah."

I saw that Wei Yuanqi didn't wait for Wang He to finish speaking, so he chirped: "You old horseman, talking nonsense in broad daylight, our army only walks along the official road all the way, when you step on the crops on the side of the road, you are obviously robbing and plundering." ”

"Bold!" Several voices came from the Wang family.

The people dressed as officials also pulled out their waist knives and faced Wei Yuanqi, looking at the posture waiting for Wang He to speak, and they were about to chop Wei Yuanqi.

Wang He was so old, where had he been insulted by such foul language, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then angrily pointed at Wei Yuanqi with a trembling hand and said, "You, you, what's your name?" ”

"Lao Tzu can't change his surname"

"Shut up!"

Before Wei Yuanqi could finish speaking, he stopped him.

said to Wang He: "Wang Shibo is angry, the subordinates are not sensible, I will punish them well, don't be angry with your old man."

I don't know how many fields our army trampled on, how to compensate? Please also show me this. ”

Wang He was about to have a seizure, and suddenly heard that Lihua wanted to compensate for the loss, and he couldn't help but be stunned again, it seems that this kid surnamed Lihua is not as ignorant of current affairs as Wang Hu usually says.

He originally received letters from Wang Hu and Zhao Yuan, asking him to find a way to delay Lihua for two days, so that he could not reach Yuxiao Pass on time.

He discussed with his younger brother Wang Stork, who is a county prince, and came up with this method, just to drag it out, and today he specially sent a few officials, wanting to pretend to be a drama of the Wang family's bitter lord reporting to the official and the government servant being the master of the people.

As a result, the expected more than a dozen sets of processes have not yet started, and Zhu Lihua said that he could compensate, and he did not follow the routine at all, which suddenly made him feel at a loss.

But in the end, Jiang Lao was getting hotter and hotter, so Wang He trembled and gave birth to a finger again, and said to Zhu Lihua:

"Since the nephew knows his mistake, I, as an elder, will not embarrass you, otherwise people will listen to it and say that I am bullying the junior.

In this way, the compensation is 1,000 taels of silver, and I will close the case and leave immediately. ”

Seeing that Wei Yuanqi was about to attack again, Zhu Lihua looked at him obliquely, his eyes showed the meaning of stopping, and sure enough, Wei Yuanqi stopped talking without saying anything.

Zhu Lihua looked around, and saw that whether it was a soldier or Gao Yunce and others on his side, they all looked humiliated, and some people clenched their fists with nowhere to exert their strength with sad and angry expressions.

Zhu Lihua turned his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hugged his fists and said to Wang He:

"Wang Shibo Mingjian, this time I was ordered to go to Yuxiao Pass, the boss has not yet allocated the military salary, there are some silver taels here but there is a big gap between the thousand taels, can Shibo give some time, wait for the military salary to be allocated, and then compensate Shibo."

Wang He touched his beard, and said to Lihua without smiling: "Virtuous nephew, it's not that Shibo is unreasonable, it's just that the silver paid by the virtuous nephew is to be issued to the clansmen who have suffered losses, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to suppress it if it's late." ”

At this time, someone in the crowd also shouted: "That is, if you run away, we will ask for money." ”

"Yes, you died in battle, and the ghost came to compensate us?"

Lu Lihua silently listened to the gossip of the people saying these unpleasant words, and quietly observed the expressions of his soldiers, and sure enough, he saw that the resentment of the soldiers had reached the extreme.

He looked up at the sky and said to himself: It has been snowing for four days, and it should be clear.

"Hey"

Zhu Lihua sighed and said to Wang He:

"Wang Shibo, our army really has no silver, how can we compensate you so much silver, your old man thinks there is another way to resolve the dispute and satisfy the noble folks?"

"Then use military rations to pay the debt."

Wang He rubbed his beard with his hands, squinted his eyes, and stared at Zhu Lihua.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the pot exploded in an instant.

"What, what do we eat when you take the military rations."

"Lao Tzu is going to die on the border, and you still want to take away our military rations"

"Lord Baijiang, you can't give it."

"Lord Hundred Generals, what do we have to eat for the military rations, we must not give them."

......

When these protests came and went, and no one could hear what anyone said, Zhu Lihua suddenly raised his arm.

Knowing that the Lord had something to say, the crowd fell silent.

Only one or two people were still saying things like "you can't give it, we'll starve to death if you give it to them", but within a few breaths it all stopped.

Zhu Lihua lowered his arm and said respectfully to Wang He: "Wang Shibo, as you wish, we will serve the military grain." ”

After speaking, he turned to Liu He on the side and said:

"Order all sergeants to line up in front of the camp, and each of them to place his rations in front of the line, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded."

Then he turned his head to Gao Yunce and said:

"Ordered the people to gather at the grain and grass in the back camp, unload the grain carts, and take care of the horses, and the people will carry the grain and grass to the front door after listening to my orders."

After hearing this, Gao Yunce took a deep look at Lihua and left.

After the command was given, he stood in front of Wang He and did not speak.

Wang He saw that Lihua was completely obedient, but he felt that Wang Hu was making a big fuss in his heart, this kind of misbreed, at first glance, he was a gentleman with a noble name, and it was really not worth it to let himself go out in person on a snowy day.

Thinking of the snowy day, he was even more resentful that he had no eyes, and he didn't invite himself to drink a cup of warm tea in the Chinese military tent.

Thinking about it again, I really bullied him to such an extent, and it is normal for children to have some tempers, and I can't help but feel good again.

Half an hour later, except for the twenty people led by Gao Yunce to supervise the dismantling of the carriage, the rest of the army, together with the eighty-three people in the camp, lined up in front of the camp, and in front of the queue was a mountain of burdens piled up two people high, and the baggage was the rations of the march.

Zhu Lihua said to Wang He: "Wang Shibo, can these grains and grasses be enough to pay off the debt?" ”

Wang He said coldly: Insufficient!

Zhu Lihua didn't talk nonsense, and when he turned around, he asked Liu He to ask Gao Yunce to carry out the military rations in the inner camp.

As the bags of military rations arrived in front of the battalion one by one, he heard the gurgling of his sergeants' teeth, and some began to gasp for air.

When Gao Yunce finally came out and said to Lu Lihua: "Lord Hundred Generals, all the military rations have arrived", there was a choked sound of whimpering among the sergeants in the queue.

Wang He also heard what Gao Yunce said to Zhu Lihua, so he didn't wait for Zhu Lihua to speak, and sneered:

"Nephew Lixian, in the past, when you were in the General Mansion, you also came to my Longde County on business, and my Wang family never treated you badly, today it is always you who have no way to lead the troops to provoke the anger of the public, but fortunately when you meet me, I can't bear to blame you doubly.

Seeing that you are so sensible, I will spare you, and in the future, be an official, walk and do things, don't keep your eyes open, it's good to be young, but you can't do whatever you want to provoke, you can provoke whoever you want, and if you accidentally kick on the stone, you are the one who suffers. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left with a smile, without the slightest appearance of an old man who had been trembling before.

Behind the old man, a group of people hurriedly loaded the grain and grass onto the vehicle and left one by one.

Lihua stood in front of the queue, still smiling at the corners of her mouth.

But his originally white face became bloodless because it had been frozen for a long time or for other reasons.
