(Long wait!) ）

5,000 people say that it is not too much, but it is not much less, it is rare to rebel, but it is more than enough to suppress bandits.

Ten days later, these 5,000 veterans were all standing at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, their eyes were shining as they looked at Cao Wei, obviously wanting to have another big fight with this rich Shangguan and earn more money to return to their hometown to buy a family business. Even if he dies unfortunately, with a hundred taels of silver as a foundation, it is not wronged.

A few days ago, Cao Wei personally carried the coffin of Old Man Xu for burial, and then recuperated for a few days, and now his body has been improved, and he waved his hand under the eager gaze of the soldiers, only to see dozens of officers and soldiers pushing the carriage to the front, and then poured a bowl of wine for the soldiers.

Cao Wei raised his wine and said: "Avenge the old man!" ”

"Avenge the old man!"

After drinking, Cao Wei picked up a piece of silk cloth and read aloud: "Old Duke Xu, protect the Ming Dynasty, guard the people, walk alone in the universe, the annals of Huanghuang, more than decades." Broad and generous, wise and generous, standing high in the territory, and rushing to the four seas.

Now the thief plotted to kill Xu Laoguogong, and his actions did not care about the family, and his actions could not be based on heavenly principles, so we were resigned to the crime, not only to achieve the result of perseverance, but also to resign as a force.

The sound is like the wind blowing, the anger is like the spear swept away, the anger of the force, the total of the sinners, the levy of their wickedness, the number of their penetration, the courage of the treacherous court, the heart of the letter of prudence, so that the rush of a hundred feet, broken in the book; The city of ten thousand pheasants, those who fall in one place also!

There are 5,000 mercenaries, no less establishment, now Cao Wei is the general, Cao Bin is the deputy general, Ma Shi is a thousand households, Zhou Shunsheng is a thousand households, Liu Zhu is promoted to a thousand households, Ding Xuan is a thousand households, Lin Xuan is a thousand households, each hundred households are set up with 100 households and 10 people, ten people are a team, and the army chief is set up!

In the mercenary guard, there is no military quartermaster, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the thieves will be killed! ”

The selected generals are all generals in the original army, and they have prestige and are easier to convince the public. Cao Wei has summoned them in the past few days, and he also has some understanding of them, and I have to say that without a backer, he can get a general banner or a hundred households in the barracks, and none of them are mediocre.

Especially that Cao Bin, who left a deep impression on Cao Wei, was born in Xiucai, joined the army, and finally made a thousand households, the difficulty coefficient is like entering the palace as a eunuch, and finally becoming the governor of Dongchang.

"The last general is forty and two this year, and he has been in the military camp for 20 years.

At that time, the old man was not very old, and the last general was also young, and his blood was vigorous, so he stepped forward to reprimand the old man angrily, and asked him why he could be so unscrupulous, was it because my Ming army was incompetent?

The old man said that it is not that the soldiers are incompetent, but that they will be incompetent, and one will be incompetent, and the three armies will be exhausted...... The old man also said that he was the incompetent general! ”

Cao Bin paused, and said with a wry smile: "Then the last general said to the old man that since the generals are incompetent, then the scholars will lead the army, and see if this will be any different from the soldiers......"

In the carriage, Cao Wei was smiling, he was imagining the appearance of Old Man Xu's face flushed. The family in front of him, who is also surnamed Cao, was really big-hearted when he was young, and he dared to scold his husband in person, and he didn't know how he lived until now.

Cao Bin was obviously a little ashamed, he was ashamed to reprimand his old man, and threw his pen from Rong into the soldier's nest, but in the end he didn't make any waves. If his self-esteem had been stronger, he might have committed suicide behind closed doors.

"After the last general entered the barracks, he found that what the old man said was right, the root of this disease was not in the soldier, but in the general.

They drink the blood of soldiers, climb relationships, favor personal feelings, and think about not how to kill the enemy and serve the country every day, but how to cling to pleasure. The last general has been in this officialdom for so many years, and he has seen a lot, and our Ming Dynasty is not only like this, but also ...... civilian officials."

Cao Wei looked at him with interest and said with a smile: "You climbed into the official's carriage with a shy face today, just to tell the official, right?" ”

Cao Bin nodded and said, "My lord, you avenged your old man, and the last general saw the blood, hope, and difference from other officials. What's more, you are the envoy of Jinyiwei, and you are an uncle, so it is not surprising that you will become a grandfather in the future.

The last general may not be able to see the situation of our Ming officials and Qing generals in this life, and I will tell you these words, and the last general also wants to have a thought. ”

"Ten thousand taels!"

"What?" Cao Bin was stunned for a moment and said, "What 10,000 taels?" ”

Cao Wei sat up straight and said, "You give me 10,000 taels of silver...... Well, Jinzi, this official will help you to be the commander, and when the time comes, how about you go to realize the official Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty yourself? Rest assured, this official will always support you behind your back! ”

"Huh?"

"You must know that the commander is a positive third product, and the official must be very shameless in asking for favors and pulling relationships, so that he can get you this position, and you can realize your life dream if you become a commander, so this 10,000 taels of gold is not expensive, you have made a lot of money!"

Cao Bin looked at Shangguan speechlessly, and suddenly wanted to pick out his eyeballs, what came out of the mud and not stained was a lotus, it was obvious that this Shangguan who looked very clean was not a lotus, but a lump of sludge. He has been polluted by the Ming officialdom, and his heart has been dyed black!

10,000 taels of gold? It's so dark!

Seeing that Cao Bin didn't speak, Cao Wei thought he was too expensive, and frowned: "How about eight thousand taels?" What are you shaking your head for? The official has already suffered a loss, and he will give you a ninety-five discount, a total of seven thousand six hundred taels, no less, no matter how little the official will not make any money! ”

Cao Bin smiled bitterly: "My lord, don't say it's seven thousand six hundred taels, and the last general will not have six hundred taels ......."

The life experience of two lifetimes tells Cao Wei that you should never look at whether a person has money now, many people are late bloomers, Huang Zhong is sixty and will be a general, Jiang Taigong is eighty, She Taijun is 100 years old, and Sun Monkey is a thousand years old before becoming a Buddha.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money now, we can make an IOU first, and then press a handprint, and the odds can also be erased for you, just seven thousand taels of gold, and it just so happens that there is paper and ink on the official's carriage......"

"My lord, I'm afraid that I won't be able to repay so much silver in my next life...... The end will suddenly have a stomachache, and we will talk about it tomorrow, tomorrow! ”

Cao Wei watched his subordinates jump out of the carriage with some regret, and sighed: "Poverty limits a person's imagination, you never know what you have lost, gold and silver are not important, life ideals are important!" ”

Huaiyang Mountain is not far from Nanjing, after going out of Nanjing, and then after Fengyang Mansion will arrive at the remaining vein of Huaiyang Mountain: Zhang Baling.

Cao Wei is not unfamiliar with this place, because there is a person on this mountain, a bandit leader, and a beautiful bandit leader.

"Cease the garrison!"

Under the general's order, the soldiers skillfully set up tents in the same place, trenches, wooden stakes, and many horse rejection arrays. Antlers were also set up in front of the horse rejection array, and traps were set in front of the antlers.

Of course, there are no arrow towers, suspension bridges, fences, etc., after all, they are not something that can be built in a short time. Although this group of soldiers no longer nominally belongs to the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, they should have no less military quality.

Not long after Cao Wei and the others were stationed, several groups of people secretly observed and then quietly left......
