Chapter 85: Report on the results of the battle
Looking at everyone and smiling, Hua Xing didn't rush to ask everyone about the results, but gave Tang Sheng a list and asked him to call twenty relatively healthy soldiers to the tent first.
After all the thirty soldiers sat on the ground, Huaxing began today's acceptance work:
"Alright, let's start debriefing! Does anyone want to talk about it first? ā
Finally waiting for the word "start", Lao Li, who was sitting in the front row, took the lead in raising his arm and couldn't wait to say:
"General Hua, I'm old, I'll come first!"
The order of reporting actually has nothing to do with the age, but seeing that Lao Li was so positive, Hua Xing nodded and motioned for him to speak first.
"Hehe, thank you, General! IāI've found a total of seven useful clues! ā
The first person to report was named Li Ang, who is in his 40s this year and has been in the army for decades.
Due to his age, coupled with the fact that his body is not as good as day by day, Li Ang knows very well that his military career will soon come to an end.
Once he "retires", he will not have a military salary, so he really wants to earn more money before "retirement", so that he can provide for himself and supplement his family.
Yesterday, after hearing that Huaxing was willing to spend money to buy information, he was really happy.
That night, they infiltrated the mountains and launched a search.
He had been to Sankun Mountain twice before, and he was much more familiar than ordinary people.
Coupled with the temptation of silver, he has hardly rested since he left the military tent yesterday, and has been searching in the mountains.
It wasn't until half an hour ago that they rushed back to the army.
Although it is not a "full load", I have some information.
So, in order to prevent someone from telling the same message before him, he was the first to raise his hand and seize the opportunity to speak first.
"Seven?"
After hearing this, Hua Xing subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be a little surprised:
"So much? Oh, good! You say it one by one. ā
"Done!"
Li Ang nodded while taking out a yellow linen "memo" from his arms, squinted at his two presbyopia, and said word by word:
"The first one, ahem, near the northwest peak of the cottage, I found a mountain spring. Judging from the flow direction, it should be straight into the village. This, this...... I wonder if it's useful? ā
As soon as the words fell, before Hua Xing could speak, he saw a man in a vest sitting next to Li Ang, and said with a look of disdain:
"Lao Li, you want money crazy, right? I found that creek last time I visited, and the water is not as deep as a calf! Tell me, how do you get into the stockade with it? ā
In fact, Li Ang also knew that this stream alone could not enter the village.
The reason why he said it was nothing more than to try his luck and see if General Hua would buy it.
But at this moment, listening to the man in the vest shouting like this, he immediately scratched his head with embarrassment.
But just as he was about to skip this matter, when he started to talk about the second article, he saw Hua Xing, who was sitting opposite, suddenly waved his hand, and a piece of silver fell into Li Ang's hands impartially:
"It worked! Lao Li, you can accept this silver ingot. ā
I just wanted to try my luck, but I really got a silver tael!
Seeing this, Li Ang was overjoyed and immediately expressed his gratitude to Huaxing.
And Huaxing shook his head slightly, and said with a smile:
"You don't have to thank me, you deserve it. Plus, you don't have to pay attention to what others say, as long as you find useful information, just report it. As for whether it works...... I'll judge! ā
This speech sounds like it was said to Li Ang, but in fact, Huaxing said it to everyone.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience turned their heads and ears. After seeing the real money, they finally believed that what Huaxing said was true.
After Tang Sheng finished making the record, Huaxing spoke again: "Okay, let's talk about the second one!" ā
"Oh, okay!"
Under Huaxing's encouragement, Li Ang was obviously more confident, holding the "memo" in his hand, and said loudly:
"Second, the old man found a way up the mountain in the jungle to the south, and he could climb all the way up to the halfway point of the east peak. But it's too high, although it's above the cottage, ordinary people can't go down at all. I don't know ...... this one."
Before Leon could finish speaking, another ingot of silver fell into his hand.
"Excellent! The information is valid! You'll just have to mark the route on the map later. Let's talk about the next one! ā
I didn't expect to earn another tael of silver so quickly, counting the one or two just now, it is almost worth half a year's salary!
The overjoyed Li Ang was grateful on the spot, and it was not until he ran out of words that he said the third message to Huaxing......
In this way, they listened one by one, wrote down one by one, and gave money one by one.
Five minutes later, Leon finally finished speaking.
In total, five of his seven messages were approved by Huaxing, and he received five taels of silver in return.
But to be honest, of the seven pieces of information provided by Leon, only two or three were really useful.
But considering that Li Ang was the first to speak, and Huaxing also wanted to take the opportunity to set an example and let the follow-up scouts work harder, he deliberately relaxed the conditions and gave the other party a generous reward.
Seeing this scene, even Duan Hongguang, who was sitting on the side, was envious, and there was a burst of remorse in his heart:
Ah! If I knew that was the case, I should have done a good job yesterday.
Such a good opportunity to make money was wasted by me.
No, no, I'll have to put some effort into it tomorrow and try to get him back a few taels......
By the time all ten people in the venue had finished reporting, it was already half an hour later.
While Tang Sheng was sorting out the information, Huaxing told the investigation task to the next twenty people again.
When the new soldiers heard this, they also had the opportunity to participate in this "gold-making" operation, and they were all excited.
As soon as the meeting ended, he rushed out of the tent and disappeared into the night.
Hua Xing smiled and sat in the tent and read the record just now.
ā¦ā¦
Three days later, inside the Qiankun Mountain cottage.
Early this morning, Gong Du carried the sword on his shoulder, and walked in the hall with small steps, like an ant on a hot pot.
After wandering back and forth for more than 20 years, he finally waited for Liu Pi to enter the house.
As soon as they met, Gong Du quickly stepped forward, pulled Liu Bi's sleeve and said:
"Brother Liu, you are here, I have been waiting for you all morning! We caught an enemy spy this morning, have you heard? ā
"Spies?"
Liu Bi obviously hadn't heard of this yet, and said suspiciously: "Where did you catch it?" ā
"I caught it near our pass, and I've been tortured all morning, and that old boy didn't resist beating at all, he already recruited everything!"
"Oh, I caught it at the gate."
Liu Bi's temperament is obviously much more stable than Gong Du, after hearing this, he didn't have the slightest hint of anxiety on his face, and slowly sat down on the chair:
"What did he say?"
