"Master Shuai, this matter should not make a big ......"

"Yes, the commander ......"

On the way to the rear camp of more than 2,530 people, Cao Chun, Cai Cheng, Lu Wen, and Yu Ying persuaded Meng Zhong with bitter words.

It cannot be denied that Cai Cheng, Lu Wen, and Yu Ying did have the intention of testing Meng Zhong at first, and they wanted to see what the new division commander would do when he encountered this kind of problem, after all, no one wanted to follow a scumbag general.

Even Cao Chun had such an idea at first.

But what the four of them never expected was that their new division commander's personality was even more reckless than that of Meng Hu and Wei Xu, and as soon as they heard that the grain officials in the rear camp were targeting them, they led the whole army of 2,500 Wei soldiers to go to the rear camp to seek justice.

"Don't worry, I'm going to reason with them."

Under the persuasion of Cao Chun, Cai Cheng, Lu Wen, and Yu Ying, Meng Zhong explained with a smile.

But Cao Chun and the others didn't believe his explanation at all - to be reasonable, they needed to bring the whole army of 2,500 Wei soldiers? Need to be fully armed? Need to be so murderous?

This is obviously to make trouble, right?

"Shut up, Cao Chun!"

Seeing Cao Chun and the others surrounding Meng Zhong and constantly persuading, Wei Xu couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but scold: "A few of you are enough!" Mother-in-law and mother-in-law, others have bullied us, do you still want the brothers to swallow their anger? If you are like this, you will be ashamed of the name of a warrior! ”

"Wei Xu!"

Before Cao Chun could speak, Cai Cheng said angrily: "If you commit the following crimes, you know what the consequences are!" ”

As soon as he heard this, a few hesitations flashed in Wei Xu's eyes, after all, he also understood that even if this matter was wrong with the grain officials in the back camp, if this matter was a big problem, they would be punished in most cases, ranging from punishing the military to being deprived of the status and treatment of a military soldier, considering that his wife and children in his hometown needed him to live as a military pawn and reward, he Wei Xu should not have acted like this, but ...... But he still couldn't swallow the bad breath in his heart.

They are military pawns, that is, the most elite foot soldiers of the Wei State, from Wu Qi to Pang Juan, and now to Gongsun Xi, no one has ever dared to withhold the military and food of the military pawns before, even if he knew that this matter was targeted by their new division commander Meng Zhong, but he still couldn't swallow this breath.

"At most...... At best, it's just a penalty. ”

Gritting his teeth, Wei Xu said in a deep voice: "The army is about to go out, and we will not be punished for such a small matter, and we will not be punished for 2,500 people......

"You guy is simply ......" Cai Cheng was angry and hateful, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Meng Zhong interrupted with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to argue anymore, it has nothing to do with Wei Xu, this is also what Meng meant." …… Wait for this to be Meng's first order, and no objections are allowed! ”

『…… The first order of the new commander is to take the whole army under his command to attack the rear battalion food officer of his own battalion?"

Compared with Wei Xu, Cao Chun, Cai Cheng, Lu Wen, and Yu Ying really had nothing to do with the new commander.

A moment later, Meng Zhong and the others, under the leadership of Zhou Ling and a team of grain officers, came to the back camp of this Wei camp.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling pointed to the front and said to Meng Zhong and the others: "Master Meng, the front is the back camp......

As he spoke, he also looked a little panicked, looking Meng Zhong and the others up and down, and thought to himself: Do these people really dare to lead people to rush into the back camp to make trouble?

Hearing Zhou Ling's words, Meng Zhong raised his head and looked carefully ahead, only to see that there was a seemingly closed camp in front of him, and there were also camp gates and camp gates to separate it from other camps, but the current camp gate was half open, and during the approach of Meng Zhong and the others, many lower-level grain officials could still be seen returning with chariots with empty wooden barrels - they were probably lower-level grain officials who were carrying vegetables and rice to other camps.

"I'll take the lead!"

Dropping a word, Wei Xu walked towards the half-open wooden door.

Seeing this, Lu Wen stepped forward and grabbed Wei Xu in a few steps, and shouted, "Wei Xu! You can think clearly, if you take the first step into here, you will definitely be severely punished afterwards, you are a soldier! …… Think of your wives and children in your homeland, if you are punished for your crimes, they will not only lose everything in their homes, but may even become slaves......"

This low drink made the anger in Wei Xu's heart immediately dissipate.

Yes, although the law does not blame the public, if today's incident is big, the first person to step into this rear camp will inevitably be punished in the most serious way.

In the Wei State, the military soldiers enjoy the best treatment in the whole country, but in exchange, the Wei State requires the military soldiers to obey the orders unconditionally, and any of the following offenses and disobedience to the order are not allowed, which is also the reason why Wei Xu was deprived of the position of brigade commander by Meng Zhong a few days ago, although he was furious but helpless - once he resisted, Meng Zhong, as his boss, could use this to deprive him of the status of a military pawn, and the Wei State would never allow the military pawn to commit the following crimes.

"Hometown wife and daughter......

Wei Xu's mind came to mind the wife and daughter who were still in his hometown, but when he turned around, he saw the hopeful eyes of the 2,500 soldiers behind him.

"We are warriors and do not deserve such humiliation. Cao Chun's people are all unreliable, I ...... I'm ......

With a snap, Lu Wen's hand was knocked off, Wei Xu took a deep breath and resolutely stepped forward.

However, as soon as he took a step forward, someone grabbed his shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Cao Chun's brigade commander Meng Hu.

"Hey, first of all, I'm not Wei Wushu, and secondly, I'm a pioneer, don't rob me of things that should have been my head......"

As he spoke, he crossed Wei Xu, resolutely stepped forward, slammed open the half-open camp gate, took a deep breath and shouted loudly into the back camp: "That miscellaneous piece called Chen Chang, get out of here!" ”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Meng Zhong, who was still standing outside the camp gate, and asked with a smile, "How is this opening?" ”

"Make do with it."

Meng Zhong smiled faintly and walked into the back camp with Le Yi, Meng Sui, Wu Ying and others.

When passing by Wei Xu and Lu Wen, Meng Zhong paused for a moment and said with relief: "Don't worry, the consequences of today's incident will be borne by me, the division commander." ”

With that, he continued to walk forward.

“……”

Looking at the backs of Meng Zhong and the others, especially Meng Hu who was still smiling in the distance, Wei Xu, who was over thirty years old, suddenly felt as if he had been touched by something in his heart.

He snapped Lu Wen's hand away, and stepped forward to follow Meng Zhong and the others.

"Wei Xu!"

Lu Wen originally wanted to persuade him again, but at this time, Cao Chun stepped forward to stop him, only to see Cao Chun glance at the backs of Meng Zhong and the others, and sighed and said: "Forget it, Lu Wen, now that the matter is over, I can only bite the bullet and ......."

As he spoke, 2,500 Wei soldiers were following behind Meng Zhong, Wei Xu and others, pouring into the rear camp in a steady stream, even though Cao Chun, Cai Cheng, Lu Wen, Yu Ying and others were the brigade commanders who commanded these Wei soldiers before, but the matter had come to this point, they could no longer stop the situation.

There's no way to stop this from getting bigger.

At the same time, Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and others, who were at the forefront of the team, had already walked into the depths of the rear camp under the leadership of Zhou Ling.

Along the way, there were also soldiers belonging to the rear battalion who saw this group of people, and some even asked in shock: "You, what do you want to do?" ”

But Meng Zhong and the others had no one to pay attention to each other, and those soldiers did not dare to step forward, after all, they could also see that these were hundreds of elite soldiers.

Finally, under the leadership of Zhou Ling and others, Meng Zhong and his party came to the "destination", which was an open space in the camp, and long tables were placed on the open space.

"Y-Which battalion are you? What is the purpose of intruding into my camp?! ”

Immediately, a grain official stood up nearby, pointed at Meng Zhong and the others and asked.

Meng Zhong glanced at the other party lightly, and at this time, Meng Hu stepped forward with a smile, stretched his neck to look at the food on the table nearby, and saw that there were vegetables and meat on the table, his eyes showed a little anger, and said with a smile: "Yo, the food is quite rich, tsk, it looks very delicious, but why is it transported to our camp that there is only food but no vegetables?!" Well?! ”

At this point, he suddenly turned pale, and with his hands he approached the table, overturning it entirely.

Listening to a series of clanging sounds, all the rice bowls on the table were overturned to the ground, and the poor grain officials who sat at the table and ate their meals, several of them were covered with vegetables and soup.

"Who are you and what do you want to do here?!"

A grain official who had poured vegetables and soup all over his body stood up and walked up to Meng Hu angrily and asked.

Hearing the sound of brushing the ground, Meng Hu pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at the grain official and asked coldly, "Are you called Chen Chang?" ”

Looking at the sharp sword that was close at hand, the anger in the grain official's heart suddenly disappeared, swallowed his saliva and shook his head and said, "No, I, my name is Cai Dou......"

"Oh, that's none of your business, get out of the way."

Suddenly, Meng Hu shook the sword in his hand and motioned to the other party.

When the grain official named Cai Dou heard these unkind words, he was angry and angry in his heart, but looking at Meng Hu's cold gaze, he didn't dare to make a mistake at all, and walked to the side in a gloomy manner.

Seeing this scene, Cao Chun, Cai Cheng and others were in despair.

What about being reasonable?

Isn't this a sword drawn from the beginning?

As if hearing their hearts, Meng Zhong said calmly: "Ah Hu, put away the sword......"

Hearing this, Cao Chun, Cai Cheng and others had a little hope in their hearts, but they didn't expect the second half of Meng Zhong's sentence to be: "It's not time to draw the sword yet......

"Isn't it time to draw your sword yet? That means you're going to have to draw your sword later, right? Is it just to be reasonable?'

Cao Chun, Cai Cheng, Lu Wen, and Yu Ying glanced at each other, and their faces were slightly pale.

Because they have realized that this matter is inevitably going to get bigger today.

At this time, after Meng Zhong persuaded Meng Hu to withdraw the sword in his hand, he casually sat down on a stool next to a long table next door, and frightened several nearby grain officials who had only reacted at this moment to quickly get up and force them back, and some people even waved their hands again and again to explain: "I am not Chen Chang, I am not Chen Chang......"

"So, who is Chen Chang?"

Glancing around at the group of grain officials who had spontaneously stood together not far away, Meng Zhong asked indifferently, "Come out, I have something to ask you." ”

Those grain officials glanced around at the Wei Wushu with gloomy faces around them, and those who didn't know were feeling inexplicable at the moment, and those who knew were gloating at the moment, secretly saying that Chen Chang's guy was a big deal this time.

Gradually, more and more people came to watch, and in a few moments the area gathered in the thousands.

These people are not soldiers who came from other camps to see the excitement, but the soldiers and miscellaneous servants in this rear camp, after all, this rear camp is responsible for the food of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers in the entire Wei camp, at least 5,000 soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, and maybe more.

"Warriors? What are these people doing in our back camp? ”

"I heard that I came to cause trouble......

"Break into our back camp and cause trouble? Oh, their lord will be very bold. …… Is there any reason? ”

"I heard that a certain grain official named Chen Chang withheld their food, so that when it came to them, they couldn't see the food......

"Hey, that grain official is also looking for his own death...... But then again, the commander of this group of soldiers is really bold, and he still dares so many people to break into our back camp, hey, he will have a good look at it later. ”

Just as the group was talking, he saw a man in his forties walking from a distance with more than 20 soldiers, and after seeing the battle of Wei Wushu everywhere in the camp, he immediately frowned, walked up with an angry face, and asked sharply: "Who allowed you to wait for the break-in?!" ”

With that, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Meng Zhong sitting at a long table, and immediately walked towards the latter.

Also, the two thousand five hundred Wei Wushu were all standing around at the moment, but Meng Zhong was sitting at a long table, and a discerning person knew at a glance that this young general was the one who took the lead.

"Is that you? What do you want to break into the rear camp with a lot of soldiers?! ”

"Who are you?" Meng Zhong asked.

Hearing this, the man said in a deep voice: "I am Wei Ping, Sijia. ”

Si Jia, the popular interpretation of "Si" is to take charge and manage, therefore, Si Jia, as the name suggests, is an official who manages the armor reserve.

Si Jia is an official position, not a military position, so strictly speaking, Si Jia does not belong to the subordinates of Gongsun Xi, the commander of the rescue of Han and Qin, but an official under the jurisdiction of Da Sima, but considering that the current Da Sima of Wei is Xiwu Gongsun Xi, it is not wrong to say that Si Jia is a subordinate official of Gongsun Xi.

There are many similar official positions.

For example, the priest, that is, the official who manages the weapon.

Si Ge Dun, that is, the official who manages Ge Dun.

Si Gong Ya, that is, the official who manages the bow and arrow. [PS: Si Bing and Si Ge Dun are not in conflict, the former is responsible for managing the sword, and the latter is responsible for managing Ge Dun. 】

And so on and so forth.

Even Sima, who was only an official in charge of war horses, slowly evolved into a military position and became a pronoun for mid-level generals and above in the army.

Don't underestimate the logistics officials such as Si Jia, Si Bing, and Si Ge Dun, these officials who are responsible for managing the national armor, sharp swords, Ge Dun, and bows are basically clansmen from local powerful families in Daliang, and some are even direct clansmen.

For example, this Sijia Wei Ping, that is, a member of the Wei clan, although he is not from the royal family, but he is also from the public family, and his ancestor is also a descendant of a certain generation of Wei monarchs.

"It turned out to be Si Jia."

Meng Zhong stood up and clasped his fists and saluted, briefly explaining the reason for the incident.

Hearing that someone dared to deduct Wei Wushu's food, Wei Ping never expected it.

Seeing that there was a reason for the incident, Wei Ping's tone softened slightly: "I know, I will investigate this matter, you can go back first, I will definitely wait for justice for you in the future." …… As for you breaking into the rear camp with your soldiers without authorization, you will also be dealt with in the future. After that, he saw that Meng Zhong had no intention of ordering the withdrawal of the soldiers, and said unhappily: "Don't you still order these soldiers to be withdrawn?" ”

"It seems that there is a misunderstanding."

Looking at Wei Ping, Meng Zhong said in a deep voice: "Rear battalion grain officer, my duty should properly arrange the food of the soldiers under my command, and now, someone is using his power for personal gain and deliberately targeting us...... Moreover, Meng never thought of letting his subordinates seek justice on his behalf. ”

"So what do you want?!"

Wei Ping just took a step forward, but was blocked by Meng Hu and Hua Hu.

"Hey, I said." Looking at Wei Ping with a smile, Meng Hu pointed to the side and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, can I trouble you to take a few steps back and go over there?" ”

Wei Ping was born in a noble family, how could he have encountered such a thing? Wen Yan said coldly: "If I don't retreat, how will you stay?" Kill me? ”

Meng Hu said with a smile when he heard this: "You are not that Chen Chang, what am I killing you for?" ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Wei Wushu in the distance, and said casually: "Go find a rope, tie him up and throw him aside." ”

"You dare?!"

More than a dozen soldiers behind Wei Ping were furious when they heard this, and they wanted to rush forward to teach Meng Hu a lesson, but when they saw Meng Hu's complexion suddenly change, he suddenly pulled out the sword on his waist, and shouted: "Kill those who act rashly, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!" ”

I have to say that there are at least more than 200 enemy soldiers who have died in the hands of Menghu so far, and when he sank his face to reveal his killing intent, not to mention that it was really bluffing.

No, Wei Ping, who has been a Si Jia for a long time, can see at a glance that this Meng Hu is a veteran who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield.

"It's not worth arguing with such young and vigorous reckless boys, and then clean them up afterwards......

Raising his hand to stop the soldiers behind him, Wei Ping obeyed: "Okay, I'll step back." ”

With that, he slowly stepped back and retreated into the crowd of onlookers.

Seeing this, a whisper sounded again among the onlookers nearby, Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and others didn't recognize Wei Ping, they could recognize it, but they didn't expect that even Wei Ping and others were deflated this time.

Perhaps it was for this reason that after a while, no one came forward after the officials who served as the soldiers, the bows, and the shields arrived.

Eventually, this incident alarmed the commander of the rear battalion.

The commander of the rear battalion was a veteran in his fifties, called Gongsun Zhu, and when he heard this name, he felt that he was inseparable from Xiwu Gongsun Xi.

This person was not an official like Si Jia, Si Bing, or Si Ge Dun, but a general of Gongsun Xi, who was ordered to manage the logistics of the entire army.

Just now, Gongsun Zhu was in his account to calculate the weapons, shields, bows and arrows, grain and grass in the camp, but suddenly heard that a Wei Wushu broke into his back camp to make trouble, so he immediately rushed over with a cadre of soldiers.

When he arrived at the place of the incident, Gongsun Zhu also felt a little surprised.

But isn't it, 2,500 Wei Wu soldiers, including the thousands of onlookers nearby, are all standing, and only the commander named Meng Zhong is sitting at a long table in the field, this momentum, this posture, is simply rare.

"This kid...... Is it really just a teacher?'

Gongsun Ji was secretly a little suspicious, you must know that there are at least dozens of division commanders in this camp, but who dares to break into the back camp with his soldiers like that kid to make trouble?

Not to mention the division commander, even if it is a general at the military Sima level, he may not dare to do this.

Unless the other party's backstage is very hard.

It was with this in mind that when Gongsun Zhu saw Meng Zhong, his face was not angry but polite: "What do you call this little brother?" ”

At this time, Meng Zhong had already learned the identity of the person who came from Zhou Ling's mouth, got up and clasped his fists and said, "In Xia Meng Zhong." ”

"Meng Zhong...... Why does this name sound so familiar?'

may be an old relationship, Gongsun Zhu didn't remember the details of the other party for a while, but he just felt a little familiar, it seemed that Gongsun Xi had told him about it.

"Meng Zhong ......"

After muttering a few times but still not remembering, Gongsun Zhu asked, "Which commander under the command of Jun Sima are you?" ”

"Returning to General Gongsun, there is no military Sima below." Meng Zhong explained.

Gongsun Zhu was stunned when he heard this: There is no military Sima? How is this possible?

Suddenly, something happened to him.

"Wait...... The commander of the division who is not under the jurisdiction of any military commander turned out to be him!'

Gongsun Jian finally remembered.

The young general in front of him called Meng Zhong is not the Meng Zhong who was just awarded the position of division commander by Xiwu a few days ago, the Meng Zhong who offended Wei Xiangtian Wen, and the Meng Zhong of Duan Gan's clan and Hexi Confucianism in the background.

Gongsun Zhu heard Gongsun Xi say about this matter, and the latter originally planned to send this Meng Zhong to a certain place to garrison after he went to the battlefield.

"It turned out to be him......

After remembering the details of the young man in front of him, Gongsun Zhu also felt a little headache.

This is a person who offended Wei Xiangtian Wen but was still able to be named a doctor and a teacher in his Wei State, and what is even worse is that this person's backstage is Duan Gan's family.

Thinking of the Duan Gan clan, Gongsun Zhu hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, he saw a member of the Duan Gan clan, Si Animal, Duan Ganqiu.

This person was standing in the crowd of onlookers, watching with great interest the changes in front of him.

I'm afraid even Meng Zhong doesn't know, in fact, in this back camp, there is also a camp with him, that is, Duan Ganqiu, who is responsible for managing livestock, after all, the Duan Gan clan has been the largest family in the Jin State and Wei since his ancestor Duan Gan clan, so his clan holds the position of the chief animal, it is not an exaggeration to say that the meat of the soldiers in the battalion is basically supplied by the Duan Gan clan.

"That idiot named Chen Chang actually poked out such a big basket for me......

After figuring out the reason for the matter, Gongsun Zhu was eager to cut the grain official named Chen Chang with a thousand knives.

You must know that there is Meng Zhong in the background of Duan Gan's clan and even Xihe Confucianism, and even Gongsun Xi doesn't want to offend him, you Chen Chang, a small grain official, actually use your power to offend the other party? It's more than innocent!

"Bring that Chen Chang for me!"

To the surprise of most of the people present, after Gongsun Zhu learned about the situation, he didn't seem to have the intention of asking Meng Zhong at all, and immediately ordered someone to bring the grain official Chen Chang.

Not long after, the soldiers of the rear battalion found Chen Chang, who was hiding in the tent after being in love, and brought this frightened and trembling guy to Gongsun Zhu, Meng Zhong and others.

At the same time, Sun Xi, the prince of Xiwu, also learned about this in the tent, and immediately took a group of guards and was heading towards the rear camp......
