Chapter Forty-Eight: I'd Better Carry Food
"You guys? If anyone can clean up the Thule Thousand Men outside, I'll take back what I just said. ”
Su Lu said lightly, he didn't take the sabre-rattling generals in his eyes at all, what's the use of being bullish with me, I have the ability to go with the Thule cavalry.
A group of generals wilted in an instant, it's not that they don't have fire, it's really the guard camp against the thousand-person team, they are really not sure to take it, and Luo Chengxing, the governor of the Chinese army who fought before, put himself in.
To go up is to die, who would dare to go.
Old Luo Du was not angry, and the turtle son scolded my soldiers for scolding me, but looking at these dejected generals, the old man was helpless, these grandsons were not angry, and they didn't even have anyone who could fight.
Deputy Marshal Xiao said helplessly, and said: "Su Lu, don't talk nonsense, the Tule thousand-man team is not easy to deal with, your guard camp has just been formed, and going to battle is just a death, don't be reckless." ”
Lao Luo Du didn't follow: "Why, dare not say big things and dare not go into battle, Su Lu, if you don't dare to go into battle, I will treat you for the crime of making noise in front of the army today, cut you, and Li Huaihua will not dare to say anything." ”
Su Lu gave him a look: "Wait, watch me go up and defeat the Thule people." ”
Seeing Su Lu go out, Luo Du waved his hand at the pro-guard team, and the lieutenant flashed out of the camp tent to monitor Su Lu.
Deputy Marshal Xiao opened his mouth to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere in the big tent: "Okay, everyone, let's still discuss, how to repel this Tule thousand-man team, let him show off his strength every day, his morale has fallen again and again, and the next battle will be our catastrophe." ”
Luo Dubai's eyebrows also wrinkled, as the commander of the first army, although his ability is not strong, he also knows that if it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before the Beizheng battalion is defeated, but these days he has exhausted all the methods he can think of, and it is still useless.
The generals looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, like clay sculptures and wood carvings, motionless.
Luo Du sighed, feeling as uncomfortable as being fed, nepotism is unacceptable! These grandsons all made money to hang up the rank of general, none of them relied on their ability to fight, how to fight the next battle, Luo Du became more and more confused.
"Knock"
A human head was thrown on the ground, making a dull sound, and Su Lu strode in, looking proud.
Today, as luck would have been, as soon as he commanded the guards to pull out of the battle formation, the Tule people crashed head-on, and directly into the center of the crab formation, and were stabbed to death by the spear formation.
The commander of the Tulle was killed on the spot, and the Tulle soldiers who lost their command were completely confused, and the pikemen made a surprise attack, and the cavalry was divided and surrounded, except for one that broke through the encirclement with the advantage of numbers, and the rest were all cut down.
The head of the commander of the Thousand Commanders of Tulle rolled a few times, and stopped in front of Zhao Pu, the governor of the Dingji Army, on the bloody face, the two eyes were wide open, glaring at Zhao Pu, making Zhao Pu feel cold for no reason.
The pro-guard team was bending down next to Luo Du, and said a few words in his ear, and Luo Du's eyes changed when he looked at Su Lu again, well, his expression was as uncomfortable as eating twice.
Vice Marshal Xiao stood up, walked in front of Zhao Pu, squatted down, lifted his hair and picked up the blood-stained head, and looked at it carefully.
"Tsk, it's really the Thule Commander who sacrificed his bones, this kid fought bravely, defeated six or seven of our guard camps, and finally planted it in our hands."
"That's great!"
Vice Marshal Xiao's face twitched, and his whole person was trembling, excited and couldn't do it.
Luo Du looked at Su Lu, his face turned cloudy and cloudy, and finally he said: "Although I am very unhappy, but Su Lu, you defeated the Tule Thousand People, and this commander will do what he says, what reward do you want?" ”
Su Lu was not happy when he heard this: "What reward do I want, of course I will add an official to the lord and give money, but it really can't be done, you have to satisfy me with these three things, right?" ”
The surrounding governors looked confused, can they still say it like this, so bluntly, okay?
Zhao Pu looked disgusted, this Su Lu is too vulgar, just think about it in his heart, how bad it is to say it directly. No, I'll have to find an opportunity to teach him this etiquette, and by the way, how to defeat Tulle's cavalry of 1,000 men with the help of an infantry army.
Luo Du's face was as black as a potsticker, and he almost threw out the chess and card arrows he was holding in his hand. He Luo Du, the unruly general and lieutenant, has seen a lot, but he is as shameless as Su Lu, and he really hasn't paid attention to it.
"It's impossible to add an official to the knighthood, I can reward you with some silver, come here, go to the treasury and take out 10,000 taels, and give it to Su Duwei to take away."
"It's only 10,000 taels?"
Su Lu was a little reluctant, this amount, is it a little too little, you must know that you have defeated a thousand-person team, and the captured gold is several catties.
Luo Du waved his hand like a fly: "12,000 taels, no more, hurry up, I see you now, my flesh hurts and my liver hurts." ”
Su Lu followed the herald with a smile, went to the big warehouse, and handed over 12,000 taels of silver, and then slowly returned to the baggage camp.
A group of guards who were waiting for news in the baggage camp hula surrounded them, and asked expectantly:
"Captain, whether the marshal will give us an official or a promotion, we can't just give some verbal rewards."
"I think it's for the rank of Jin, the marshal can't promote our captain, and if the general Huaihua doesn't nod, our guard camp can't be promoted."
"Officials can't be added to the ranks, and there are no ranks, so this battle is embarrassing."
A group of guards were talking and discussing angrily, just after defeating the Thule people in one fell swoop, the excitement of the group was gone.
Su Lu said a few words to the guards who were pulling the silver cart, and one of them threw a few copper coins and drove them away.
"Here are ten thousand taels, ten taels for each brethren, and five hundred taels for each of the brothers who died in battle."
Li Kun said with a grunched face: "Second brother, this division is not enough, the living brothers divide eight thousand taels, and if they die twenty-one, they will need ten thousand and five hundred taels, which is not enough at all." ”
Su Ping, who was messing around in the silver money box, was not calm in an instant, holding the silver, with a look of disbelief: "So, after a battle, we lost our capital, why don't we make money by suppressing bandits when we are in Beiyang?" ”
Han Shang next to him nodded heavily, it's this reason.
Su Lu was also speechless, this is special, even the brothers' pensions are not enough, and this time the war is lost.
Ma Dan, I will never do this kind of thankless work in the future, yes, I should continue to transport grain.
"Don't look at it, pack up, get ready to go on the road, let's continue to transport grain, kill all the bandits in Beizheng, and earn some silver to send the brothers on the road."
A group of guards suddenly agreed, turned around one after another, packed up their armor, and urged the people under their own management to prepare to return to Beiyang.
Outside the crowd, the old man asked the unhappy old cat curiously:
"Hey, brother, how much money do you have for the death of a guard? Only twenty-one people died, how could it cost more than 10,000 taels. I've been with a lot of guards, and they have hundreds of dead and wounded, and I don't have so much money. ”
The old cat glanced at Lao Wang: "You know a fart, those who are officials drink the blood of soldiers and eat soldiers' salaries, and we are all good people, and each person has a pension of five hundred taels of silver." ”
"Five hundred taels"
Lao Wang was not calm, rubbed his hands, looked left and right, lowered his voice, and asked the old cat: "Brother, do you still need people?" I can drive horses and tend animals, but I can't do it, and I can pour you urinals. ”
