Chapter 370: Dead
Hearing this, Tao Zhulu shook his head and sighed:
"If the young master asks King De, then it will definitely be enough to eat, not only enough to eat, but also to eat big fish and meat every day. But if you talk about other soldiers, it would be good to be able to eat enough every day. β
Qiu Wenruo took the opportunity to add:
"The capital is so close to us, and the soldiers of our army can't have enough to eat, just according to the cruel and ungrateful appearance of King De, if we don't fight quickly, the soldiers will mutiny."
Qiu Wenruo said it well, but his words could not change the status quo, and the people in the tent could only sigh when they heard this.
After a while, Peach Zhulu said:
"I heard that He Wenyu's kid is very popular again."
Lan Ziyi heard He Wenyu's name and squeaked the knuckles of his fingers, and Lan Ziyi asked:
"Isn't he about to be beheaded if he is taken down by the captain?"
Tao Zhulu glanced at Lan Ziyi after hearing the sound of Lan Ziyi's fingers, and he replied:
"Taiwei is Taiwei, of course he Wenyu will not live long under Taiwei, but now it is King De who is in charge of the army. It is said that he was held down by the Taiwei that night, begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, looked for someone to intercede everywhere, and finally bribed the king of Germany for tens of thousands of taels of silver to let the king save his life, after the captain left, he sent the Xiji Tiger Camp to Beijing to pick up prostitutes to serve the king of Germany, if he didn't break his leg and need to go back to Beijing to recuperate, now he must be a red man in front of the king of Germany. β
Lan Ziyi scolded:
"This bastard, how could the strong man of the Tiger Camp be used for him to do such a dirty thing?"
Qiu Xiaozhi looked at the angry Lan Ziyi quietly, and asked unhurriedly:
"Wei Hou and General He don't have any enmity, right? Why is there such a big fire? β
Lan Ziyi scolded:
"I don't like the way he does things."
Qiu Xiao smiled and said:
"Is Wei Hou not used to seeing He Wenyu's way of doing things, or does he think that He Wenyu commanded the Xiji Tiger Camp and seized Wei Hou's power?"
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi raised his head and stared at Qiu Xiaozhi without speaking, trying his best to restrain his emotions that were about to explode in Lan Ziyi's eyes.
Qiu Wenruo was not in a hurry, he did not intend to retreat because of Lan Ziyi's anger, after these days, Qiu Wenruo had basically checked Lan Ziyi's pulse, and he knew that Lan Ziyi would be angry because of something. Qiu Xiaozhi continued to say slowly:
"Wei Hou, haven't you understood these days when you entered Beijing? You are alone in the capital, and your opponent is as thick as the city wall, you have one more friend to help you more, even if He Wenyu is a villain, you can't become friends with his personality, then you don't need to make an enemy out, you have no enmity with him, he is the general of the Xiji Tiger Battalion, and he occupies his own position, not to talk about taking away the power of Wei Hou, when Wei Hou and He Wenyu fought together, He Wenyu himself was also very acquainted, and there was no intention of conflict with Wei Hou, and he was now in the capital, The Xiji Tiger Camp is still Wei Hou you, Wei Hou, why do you have to be dirty with him. β
While Qiu Xiaozhi was talking, Lan Ziyi kept staring at him, Qiu Xiaozhi continued tepidly, and the breath that Lan Ziyi was holding gradually became discharged, and finally Qiu Xiaozhi added:
"The sage said: A gentleman is not angry. We can all understand that Wei Hou is dissatisfied with the current German king's army, but if Wei Hou spills his anger on others, it will be wrong to spoil good things. β
Lan Ziyi let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded, and said:
"Mr. Xiaozhi is right, I was stunned."
Then Lan Ziyi instructed Tao Zhulu to say:
"Second brother, are there any of us in the capital?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Ziyi shook his head again and said:
"Forget it, there is no need for people in the capital to reveal their identities for this matter, second brother, you can go back to the capital in person, greet He Wenyu for me, just say that the love of comrades, it is your duty to visit."
Tao Zhulu asked:
"Young master, is it too late to go now? And it's really condescending for him to make a special trip to the marquis. β
Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:
"Mr. Xiaozhi is right, one more friend is always better than one enemy. My family has established a family with military merits, even if He Wenyu is a deserter, he is also a soldier, and the relationship between Lala and Lala is always right. β
Hearing this, Tao Zhulu glanced at Qiu Xiaozhi, and then clenched his fists and said:
"I know the young master, I will enter Beijing later. The top priority now is still the matter of military intelligence, and I agree with Mr. Wen Ruo's view that we should fight a quick battle, and it will not be beneficial for our army to delay any longer. β
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand to knead his temples irritably, Lan Ziyi's hand was too strong, and the skin and flesh around the temples were crumpled by Lan Ziyi. After rubbing it for a while, Lan Ziyi asked:
"Is there any news from the Eastern Army that came to support?"
Hearing this, Tao Zhulu replied:
"According to me, the Eastern army is coming quickly."
Lan Ziyi said in a vicious voice:
"It's been a few days and I haven't been able to come, and I have the face to say that I am a fast horse?"
Tao Zhulu replied:
"The Eastern Army is indeed a fast horse, but even the moon and rain have soaked all the roads, and it is not easy for them to come, it is said that they have now gone north to Jingkou, and they will come to the capital in a few days."
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit interjected:
"If you want me to say that it would be good to come, if it was blocked by the middle of the road like the reinforcements of the Northern Army, it would be miserable."
After Tao Zhutu finished speaking, no one spoke in the tent, and everyone fell silent again, except for the sound of dense raindrops from the top of the tent, dotted with the cold air. The raindrops were too dense and the rain was too heavy for the tent to keep the water from coming in, but the sound of the falling water still stirred people's hearts. Lan Ziyi clearly heard the cry from the depths of his heart, it was the anxiety of silence and unwillingness, and Lan Ziyi had to be driven crazy in this way.
Finally Lan Ziyi stood up, he got up so violently that he hit the tent above his head, and was covered by the canvas and the rain poured on Lan Ziyi's head at once, drenching him into a soup chicken.
Seeing this, Tao Zhutu hurriedly got up and took the towel for Lan Ziyi, and he said:
"Young Master, what are you doing? You have to be careful when you get up. β
Seeing this, Tao Zhulu looked for clean clothes for Lan Ziyi from the box on the side and wanted to take them to Lan Ziyi to change into, but Lan Ziyi just took the towel and wiped his head and said:
"Let's go! Let's go see Grandpa Yu. β
Peach Rabbit heard the words and said:
"Young master, you can dry and change your clothes first."
Lan Ziyi shook his head and said firmly:
"No, I can't wait that long, right now, let's go see Grandpa Yu."
Seeing Lan Ziyi like this, everyone in the tent knew that his stubbornness had come up, and no one wanted to stop him at this time, so Tao Zhulu changed hands to get a coat for Lan Ziyi, and with the help of Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu, Lan Ziyi quickly dressed up, and the others were also ready, and the group opened the tent door and walked to the big tent.
As soon as he went out, he separated from everyone and prepared a horse to go to the capital. Although Tao Zhulu left, Lan Ziyi didn't take a few steps before he bumped into Tao Zhuhu who had returned from outside the camp, and the manpower under him was finally enough.
After Tao Zhuhu saw Lan Ziyi, he hurriedly handed over the horses to the other sergeants, and he followed Lan Ziyi, and said without waiting for Lan Ziyi's greetings:
"Young Master, there is movement in the camp of demon thieves."
Lan Ziyi's face changed when he heard this, and he asked:
"What's going on?"
ζ‘ζ·θ says:
"Suddenly, the gates of the camp were closed during the day, the sentry posts were under martial law, and the thieves were so frightened that they could not hear anything."
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit joked:
"Hey, such a big rain, big brother, of course you can't hear anything when you're so far away."
Tao Zhuhu glared at Tao Zhutu viciously, and scolded:
"Don't understand less nonsense! There is no food in the camp of the demon thieves, and the troops have been lining up every day to loot and loot these days, why is the camp suddenly closed today? If the demon thief has nothing to do, there should be movement in the camp, but now there is no movement in the demon thief camp, this must be preparing to make a move, if you don't even have this in your eyes, you will lose your life in the army sooner or later. β
Tao Zhutu was speechless by his eldest brother, Lan Ziyi's brows furrowed again after hearing this military situation, and he said:
"Let's go, let's go see Grandpa Yu!"
The group walked in the rain. Although in the army, there are few soldiers on the road, the soldiers are all curled up in their respective tents to avoid the rain, occasionally the tent door is opened by the wind and rain, through the tent Lan Ziyi can see one after another sergeants tiredly huddled together, with a vegetable face, eyes blank.
Seeing this, Qiu Wenruo couldn't bear to say:
"The capital is so close, why can't the soldiers in the army even eat enough? Even if King De withholds military salaries, there is enough food and grass. β
At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi said:
"I recently contacted some friends in the capital, and it is said that the grain merchants in the capital have been selling rice to other places recently."
Qiu Xiaozhi turned around and looked at his father in a daze, speechless. ζ‘θΏ½ε says:
"During the battle of Fangcheng, the grain and grass were sent by the capital, and after fighting for so long, there was still a lot of grain sold in the capital?"
Qiu Xiao smiled and said:
"There is food, and Taicang has lost one-third of it for so long since last year. However, it is true that there is no grain on the market, because there is a great drought in the south of the Yangtze River and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and all the crops planted in the spring this year are rotten in the fields, and the grain is in a hurry throughout the country. β
Peach Rabbit asked:
"In that case, where did the rice come from in the grain merchants of the capital?"
At this time, Qiu Wenruo suddenly spoke:
"Military rations!"
Qiu Wenruo's words were squeezed out from between his teeth, Lan Ziyi could hear his resentment, and he could also hear the fear in his heart.
Hearing this, Tao Zhutu wanted to open his mouth to ask questions, but he realized that something was wrong, and quickly lowered his head to observe the surroundings, and then asked in a low voice:
"Could it be that someone is reselling military rations? Who would dare to be so bold? β
Qiu Xiaozhi sneered:
"Who cares about the big and small things in the army? Where does the grain and grass come from? Since King De is in charge of things, King De is in control of the grain and grass, don't forget, the night the battle was won, the whole camp was drunk, and as a result, everyone had no food to eat the next day, San Lang, you said you were reselling military rations? β
Hearing this, Peach Chase Tiger squeaked the bone joints in his hand, and Peach Chase Rabbit gasped, and he was surprised for a while before asking:
"King De is also a prince, he is so greedy for money? He hasn't seen money since he was a child, right? Besides, how did he sell so much military ration to the grain merchants? β
Lan Ziyi took over the conversation and replied:
"No matter how King Toku does it, he is wasting the power of my Taisho country. Let's go, let's go see Grandpa Yu, be quick! β
