Chapter 684: Dragon Slaying (53)

Although Sima Dejiao does not have his own mansion in Jiang, as a tiger general and holding the power of Xiaoguo, life will naturally not be too difficult. In the eastern city of Jiangdu, he has a camp tent of his own. Although its scale and shape cannot be reconciled

Compared with the high-rise mansions in Jiangdu City, but it is not bad itself. It's all military tents, but the living tents used by the dignified Tiger Benlang are naturally different from those used by ordinary soldiers. Not only is it extraordinarily tall and wide, but there is also a mystery inside. A tent can be divided into several parts, and its effect is similar to that of the houses of the nobles in the city

。 There are not only places dedicated to meeting guests, but also places for their daily lives. After all, this is not wartime, and the remaining Xiaoguo generals always have some preferential treatment, and it is not surprising that this treatment is not surprising. There were a few oil lamps lit in the military tent, and Sima Dekan sat behind the desk, and there were two middle-aged men in front of him. Both of them are wearing leather armor and carrying straight knives at their waists, dressed as martial artists. One of them was a few years older than Sima Dekan, and the other was already there

After fifty up and down, it is enough to be called a veteran.

Sima Dekan's face was solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the two of them, as if he wanted to get some answer from their mouths. The two of them tried to persuade Sima Dekan to change his previous thoughts and swallow back what he had just said. The younger general said, "Do you really have to take this path?" Sima, this is not a trivial matter, you have to think clearly. Although Chang'an is a well-known generous person, he is not made of tofu after all. Now that he has won Guanzhong, he is proud

There are more than 100,000 horses under his command, and no one can say for sure whether his heart is still the same as before. Wouldn't it be unlucky if we went to the past, not only did they not use it, but they asked for our heads? The veteran immediately said: "That's right! Although the saint is extremely strict with the military quota examination, everyone is an old minister who has followed the saint for many years, and they will not really lose their lives for some small reasons. At the beginning, in order to kill chickens and monkeys, the saint inevitably did it

Duan was a little more ruthless. Now that the general trend has been decided, the saint should not still kill as he said at the beginning. "That's right, to put it mildly, we all know what the situation is like today. The saint can still live happily in Jiangdu City now, doesn't it depend on us soldiers to work hard? Rely on the Xiaoguo army to defend the city for him? Looking at the world, who else is more capable of fighting than the Xiaoguo Army? Without us people, I am afraid that the rebel army would have already crossed the river. Our lives and the lives of saints are involved, how can we say that we can kill them? In the past, the saints had to treat Xiaoguo very well, and at this time, they couldn't just cut off their heads. Especially those of us are the foundation of the saints in the Xiaoguo army. Without us mastering the three armies, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, the saints may not be able to calmly dispatch. I also know that your men and horses have fled fiercely recently, and the saint refuses to agree for fear that this matter will leak out. Keep your heart in your belly, with our brothers, and the news will never leak out casually. Even if it really leaks out, we will take care of it for you. It's a big deal to kneel on the saint when the time comes

Pleading in front of you will save your life...... Don't think rashly and act rashly, and put yourself and your sons in vain. The veteran took over the conversation again: "If the former Dou Xian hadn't fled with his own soldiers and horses, he might not necessarily die." The saint is not concerned about your life, but about the safety of your own family. With these tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops in hand, he can be a drunken beauty all day long, even if the north is erosive or the smoke is everywhere, he can sleep peacefully. It was one or two people who ran away, and he didn't care at all. What he was worried about was that the morale of the army would fluctuate and flee in droves. We are all people who lead troops, and we all understand this truth, once the soldiers are dispersed, the manpower cannot be restrained. If tens of thousands of Xiaoguo run out, the life of the saint will not be saved. So he won't casually kill the officers with the troops, otherwise who will help him pawn the soldiers? Especially our old ministers, just

It is also his reliable arm help, and he will never be an easy killer. As long as you don't commit the taboos of the saints, your life will not be lost. Don't mess with yourself and bury your life indiscriminately. Although both of them were stopping Sima Dekan, there was sincerity between their words, and even many forbidden words were enough to prove that they had a good relationship with each other. Although Sima Dekan was born in a eunuch family, he has been in the market since he was a child, and he used to be a butcher, so he is used to dealing with people. The wealth accumulated in the army over the years, in addition to recruiting high-ranking officials and dignitaries to win over the backers, is to make friends and think that they are wings. Whether in the army or in the officialdom, they have made some friends. When it comes to martial arts, Sima Dekan

It is not outstanding among thousands of fruits, but when it comes to the ability to make friends and reputation, it can be called first-class. The two people in front of him are his most deed friends in Jiangdu City, which is enough to entrust life and death. The younger military general was named Yuan Li, and his uncle Yuan Shou was a doctor of Guanglu and a favored minister of Yang Guang. Relying on this relationship, he is now with Sima Dekan

In the same way, the capital officials worship the tiger generals, and they also have thousands of generals in their hands. The veteran's name is Pei Qiantong, who is the old man of Yang Guang's mansion, and now the official worships the prison and is Yang Guang's personal guard. In the past, after Yang Xuan's rebellion and death, the military generals of the Chinese dynasty were implicated and killed, but Sima Dekan, as Yang Su's close confidant, was able to escape this calamity, and these two people made great contributions. Especially Pei Qiantong is Yang Guang's former minister, and he is in Yang Guang's face

Forward, Sima Dekan was able to escape. It was in this way that he planned important matters and invited the two to the meeting. Regarding the exhortation of the two, Sima Dekan did not open his mouth to refute it. It wasn't until the two finished speaking that he shook his head and said, "What the two elder brothers said, the younger brother is not ignorant. However, this disaster was not as easy to resolve as the two brothers thought. As Brother Pei said, don't commit the taboo of a saint to save your life. But how can this taboo be avoided? Brother Pei is a person next to the saint, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about this. Brother Yuan, like a certain one, is a person who leads the troops, so he naturally knows what the Xiaoguo Army looks like now

。 How many soldiers do you have now? How many of these are real Guanzhong children and not Jianghuai people? Yuan Li coughed dryly twice, looking a little embarrassed: "Everyone's own brothers, what are you doing here?" It is also said that it has not been easy for everyone in the past few years, first going to Liaodong to fight, and then hunting with the saint in the south. I thought I would be able to go back in a few days, but I didn't expect the saint to refuse to leave as soon as he came, everyone followed the saint, even if it was not Yu Linlang, it had to be regarded as a hero. You can't starve even if you don't have good wine and meat, can you? As a result, I can't go back to my wife and children, and I can't even drink alcohol, who can not get dry? Besides, Guanzhong is not very peaceful, either fighting or making bandits, they are worried about what will happen to their children and want to go back to see, which is also human nature. Fortunately, later the saint married everyone, which was considered to be appeased

Lived people. But I didn't expect that there would be such a trouble this time......" Speaking of this, Yuan Li couldn't help but sigh. Pei Qian channel: "Brother Xian doesn't need to say this, our brothers are kind, how can the foolish brother not know these things?" But you also know the temper of the saint, and this can only be said by a few of us

Who dares to speak in front of the saints? I'm just going to say one thing for you, how many people are there now? Sima Dekan said angrily: "If there are many soldiers and horses, I can't make such a decision." Now less than sixty percent of my men have children, and the rest have either escaped or been beheaded by me. The strong men here are about to be caught, and it is not allowed to get people together

Easy. Yuan Li said: "The situation is better than Sima's, there are at least seven horses left under his command, plus the locals captured, it is enough to make up eighty." You don't have to worry about what they say, a bunch of poor soldiers, who is impatient to listen to them? In St

Even if they want to say it in front of people, no one wants to listen to it, and when the time comes, it will be nothing more than looking for death. "The time for the Xiaoguo army to arrest men in Jiangdu is much earlier than the arrest of women, in order to make up for the shortfall in the number of soldiers, all generals will send henchmen to hunt down Ding Zhuang. found a strong man, so he was arrested in the army to fill the gap. Severely beaten with sticks and leather whips, and then forced with knives and axes, these people could not refuse to obey the dispatch. Due to the increasing number of deserters, the generals had to do so to save their lives, even the Jianghuai generals were no exception. Even if it is a father and son, it can't put an end to it, only

Open and close your eyes. At first, all the strong men were arrested, but later there were fewer and fewer strong men, and young men were arrested. Up to now, there are very few young people in the vicinity of Jiangdu, and the fields need to be cultivated, and the grain and straw need to be carried by people

The subordinates stopped arresting the Ding, so as not to have nowhere to recruit husbands. The three people present all knew this matter in their hearts, and after hearing Sima De's investigation, Yuan Li only laughed twice and did not refute it. Pei Qian channel: "Yuan Da started early, and his subordinates have more soldiers and horses." Now that Sima Xiandi is in trouble, Yuanda still needs to help

Lining is. "Dude, don't say it, things have to be done that way. Sima, don't worry, our brother's friendship is here, how can I see death and not save me? You don't have to be busy, if the saint really wants to see your men, I will lend you my soldiers first. Anyway, the saint checks the people, and he just looks at the general situation, and he won't recognize people one by one. After the inspection is completed, the virtuous brother will lend me the soldiers and horses. One person can be used by two people, and it will not lose his head. Wait for an opportunity to go outside and fight, and take the vacancy as a treat

As a report of the death, the big hole in the sky can be filled, so why make trouble in the situation you said? ”

Pei Qiantong also nodded and said, "That's it." Brother Sima Xian has always been calm, why is he so frizzy this time? With so many brothers here, they can bear all kinds of evil, so why do they have to be so busy? Sima Dekan looked at the two of them, his face did not improve at all, and suddenly snorted coldly: "The two brothers don't treat the younger brother as their own?" I didn't deal with a saint on the first day, if it was so easy, why would I want to lead troops to join Li Yuan

? Let's be honest, we can't get through this time! His roar startled Yuan Li and Pei Qiantong, and they didn't know what kind of madness they were doing. I only heard Sima De survey: "In the past, when the saints ordered troops, everyone used such methods to cover up, and the left and right can always pass the test." But this time, the saint is not the soldiers and horses of the school, but the whole army. Our old method can't be used! I'm afraid this thing will happen in a few days, if you don't think of a way to come out, everyone will have to lose their heads at that time! For the sake of our brothers, I will tell you the truth, and you will decide for yourselves what to do. But I've got to get the ugly things up front, let's ...... There is no way out! ”
