Huo Bao can only stay in Binjiang for one night, and he will return to Chuzhou tomorrow.

I didn't have time to visit Uncle Huo outside the city, so I went to Aunt Huo Liu's place and harvested a bag of handkerchiefs, money bags, and a bag of dried meat.

Subsequently, Huo Bao went to see Zhu Jiaotou.

Now he is the lieutenant of Zhu County.

Rules are rules, and favors are favors.

The father and son of the Zhu family are all useful people, and the county lieutenant Zhu himself has always been close to the father and son of the Huo family, Huo Bao did not want to be suspicious, so he asked the county lieutenant Zhu to tell Zhu Qiang that he led Xinding to attack the Bozhou army at night.

County Lieutenant Zhu was covered with cold sweat, and he was afraid, and said hatefully: "Stinky boy! It's floating, look at what he can do! Always thinking about being small, this is also meeting Feng Ye, the Buddha has a temperament, he doesn't want to kill, and he has the heart to vote, if it is an outsider, such a provocation, I am afraid that he has died and has no place to be buried! Little Bao Ye just teaches a lesson! Always let him have a long memory, so that he can be a down-to-earth man! ”

"In the past six months, he has been running around with me, and he should take a break and let him come to Binjiang for a few days."

"Good! It just so happens that I also clean up after him, fart big boy, get small twice, don't go the right way! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster, and I can't do it if I don't clean it up! ”

County Lieutenant Zhu was also angry and fierce, gearing up.

Huo Bao complained a little, and he didn't have any weakness, so he went back to find his father.

The father and son wanted to say goodbye again, and Huo Wu pulled his son to bed together.

"Don't go to Zhongli! 80,000 soldiers and horses are not a joke, the imperial army has cavalry, if it is really to be embellished, it will be filled with life! ”

Zhongli is the capital of Bozhou.

"There is Bagong Mountain in the northwest of Bozhou, which is the junction of Bozhou, Huangzhou and Shouzhou, and the terrain is complex.

"The state capital has your sixth uncle, there is nothing to worry about, you bring a leopard! With him with him, Dad can feel at ease! ”

"Logistics supply is the most difficult outside, and you have to prepare food for three days at all times, just in case! The province ended up like Monk Feng and them this time, and they were in danger of running out of food. ”

"If you can grab the official warehouse, you can grab the official warehouse, and if you can't grab it, you will borrow grain from a large local household, write a note, and turn back to Chuzhou to ......"

"Your cousin is not worried about you, and wants Zhang San to bring a thousand men and horses with you...... I plan to fight Hezhou in advance, take the four counties within ten days, and then let Zhang San take a thousand men and horses to the north, which is considered the fourth road ......"

Huo Bao hurriedly said: "Dad, Brother Shui's side is 3,000, I am here for 1,000, Feng Lang is out of 2,000, and there are already 6,000 people going north, which is not less...... We just went to make trouble, to prevent the officers and soldiers from encircling and suppressing Huangzhou, and if we don't fight, you still want to fight Luzhou here......"

"Xiaobao rest assured, there is no shortage of people! There are 5,000 officers and soldiers in the four counties of Hezhou, and another 5,000 will be conscripted on the spot after they are recruited......"

Huo Bao calculated the time, laid down Hezhou before the end of the month, and rested for half a month, and then he could go to Luzhou.

If it goes well, Luzhou will be able to be laid down at the end of September.

The most difficult to bite is Yangzhou, because Yangzhou is stationed with 40,000 Huainan troops.

When the Chuzhou army attacked Yangzhou, it must have poured out.

"We're going to be back by the end of September!" Huo Bao Dao.

……

Early the next morning, Shui Jin took 3,000 soldiers, accompanied by Huo Bao and Monk Feng, and left Binjiang to go north.

Together, fried rice in fifty mule carts and fried noodles in fifty mule carts.

As early as before the main force of the Chuzhou Army went south, the Binjiang side began to prepare.

A number of workshops were set up to supply military rations, and now the accumulation is considerable.

Even the horses are much richer than before.

County Lieutenant Zhu arranged people to go to Jinling and Yangzhou to buy horses, and 66 continued to transport back hundreds of horses.

What Monk Feng saw and heard yesterday, he still didn't understand the reason why Marshal Huo was stationed in Binjiang instead of guarding the state capital.

The rebel army leaders in other places have all grabbed territory and seized one place, and Huo Wu is already preparing to expand.

"The fifth master is so courageous!" Monk Feng praised from the bottom of his heart.

Shui Jin and you are honored: "Our fifth master has a long-term vision, and what we value is never a state or a county!" ”

Huo Bao also brought a little pride.

If nothing else, Daddy does not doubt this article, which is enough for him to study hard.

Leaving the logistics completely to the owner of the horse village, and giving Deng Jian the most important battle and glory in Hezhou, ordinary people really don't have the courage.

Even Monk Feng, who came halfway to vote, only temporarily accepted 2,000 men and horses from him, and left 4,000 men and horses for him, with no intention of seizing power.

is to change to Huo Bao, no matter how close you are on the face, you should be wary or beware in your heart.

It won't be as annoying as Jiang Ping, but it's not as sincere as it gets.

Monk Feng rarely sighed: "I never expected that the weather in Chuzhou and Bozhou is completely different!" Sure enough, the rumors can't be believed! ”

"What are the rumors? Say that my father covered the sky with one hand, acted perversely, and persecuted the gentry and the people? ”

Huo Bao said: "Did you say it?" ”

Deng Jian saw that Monk Feng practiced Tongzigong, what did that mean?

Lad!

How could the daughter of the You family be a concubine by Monk Feng's side?

There's definitely something wrong with that.

Since Monk Feng is now in Chuzhou, he can't let the You family become a thorn in the middle of the two sides, and it is better to pick it out.

Monk Feng nodded: "It's really You Weng who said it...... But I also know that it must be an exaggeration, if the fifth master is really a tyrannical person, the You family can't go to Bozhou safely! ”

"It is said that the daughter of the You family is Mrs. Feng Yeru, so this is also a rumor, right?"

Monk Feng nodded: "It's really untrue!" You Weng and his wife are old people who were used by Xian Yan in her early years, and the daughter of the You family was sent to Bozhou by the You family to be my maids...... I was impatient to serve people, so I chose someone to marry......"

Huo Bao was quite surprised.

This You family is a house slave released by the Feng family?

No wonder the method of raising a girl at home is slightly familiar, isn't this the way to thin horses in Yangzhou!

Shui Jin smiled: "I forgot that there is still this stubble!" When General Tang comes back, I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed when I see Feng Ye......"

Monk Feng was puzzled.

Shui Jin said with a smile: "The second sister of the You family is the concubine of General Tang......"

Speaking of this, he had to defend Huo Wu: "The You family is General Tang's inner relative, if An An stays alive, he won't annoy the fifth master." But they were very swaggering with the light of Tang Ye, they got the sweetness, they were not greedy enough, and they calculated Xiaobao and arranged for the youngest girl in her family to come out, and even used the beauty trick! Xiaobao looked at fifteen or six, but in fact he was only thirteen, and he had just made a marriage, how could the fifth master not be annoyed by being calculated like this? ”

Monk Feng smiled bitterly, but he was speechless.

The You couple sacrificed their daughters not to remember the deceased master, and they also offered their daughters one after another, which is ridiculous and pitiful.

Whether it is these people who enter the water or the child soldiers under Huo Bao, they must prepare before going north to Bozhou, and they must rest in the state capital.

It was Monk Feng's side, who should have thrown him into Chuzhou, and the 6,000 tired troops would also have to rest.

Therefore, last night, someone quickly sent a letter to the owner of the horse village.

By the time Huo Bao, Shui Jin and others returned to the state capital in the evening, the owner of the horse village had already brought people back first.

There was a false alarm, tossing and turning for three days, and everyone was tired.

Monk Feng understood why the Chuzhou army was so vigilant before, and went out dozens of miles for "patrols".

The main force of the Chuzhou army is in Binjiang, the nest is empty, and the entry of unknown soldiers and horses is indeed suspicious.

He also felt obediently, and the next day he divided 2,000 people to the owner of the horse village as promised, and left 2,000 soldiers and horses for General Yin, and he took three henchmen and 2,000 men and horses to Binjiang.

Chuzhou up and down, indeed relieved.

I am not afraid that Monk Feng will repeat it, but at this time, it will cost troops to fight, and it will break everyone's previous plan.

……

State Soldier Barracks, Council Chamber.

Leaders above the head of the tun will be listed.

The five leaders who went out to recruit troops, in addition to Zhu Qiang and Shi San, Liang Zhuang and Qiu Wei also returned, only Zhu Gang has not returned.

This conscription lasted for 10 days, and Zhu Gang was not overdue.

What we are discussing today is the disposal of Zhu Qiang and Shi San.

The two of them made a big mistake because of their recklessness, and they were pushed to the end, and there were 60 boards and 40 boards of corporal punishment.

The law enforcement officers and boards are fully prepared.

Huo Bao looked at everyone and said, "I said it before...... The higher the position, the heavier the responsibility! One tithe's length will bear the life and death of ten people; The length of one tun bears the lives of fifty people! This is no joke! The Pao Ze brothers are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, not cannon fodder for meritorious deeds! No matter how great the feat, you are not allowed to gamble with your life! If anyone can't remember this, if they don't have this responsibility, don't be in a high position, be an honest soldier, and life and death will not affect others! Zhu Qiang and Shi San are lessons from the past, and please take them as a warning! ”

The people stood and listened, and they all led the training.

Huo Bao looked at Zhu Qiang and Shi San, who were waiting to receive the punishment.

Zhu Qiang and Shi San glanced at each other and knelt down.

"Bao Ye, his subordinates should be punished, can I ask Bao Ye to punish him in installments, first hit half of the board, and keep the remaining half of the board first?" Zhu Qiang pleaded.

Shi San also pleaded: "Tomorrow Bao Ye will go north, the two of us want to beg for personal guards, and the remaining half of the board, can you come back and make up for it!" ”

Huo Bao's face was cold.

It seems that it was because of the old man who was too tolerant before, which made everyone lose their sense of awe.

This is a big mistake, and the punishment is not finished, so you want to "wear the crime and make meritorious service"?

How can there be such a good thing!

He shook his head: "This time it was a thousand veterans who went north with me, and the two of you will be punished into the new army after receiving the military sticks, and you will not be recruited!" ”

Shi San was stunned, and wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Zhu Qiang.

"Subordinate Order!"

“……”

"Slap", "Slap", "Slap"!

The room was silent, and the sound of the board was particularly distinct.

Shi San is still fifteen years old.

Zhu Qiang was only thirteen, and after a few boards, snot and tears came out, but he didn't dare to cry out loud, biting his lip hard.

Although Huo Bao had privately ordered the law enforcement soldiers to only hit him on the buttocks and not hurt his bones.

But the two teenagers are not very old, and they all grew up with their parents' love and pets, so they will develop such a wanton and freewheeling temperament, where have they suffered anything?

A few boards went down, and there were snot and tears flying.

But he is the most face-saving age, and in front of everyone's eyes, he refuses to cry, and his lips are bitten.

Seeing this, Huo Bao ordered someone to gag the mouths of the two with a towel so as not to bite too hard.

Coincidentally, Zhu Gang, who was in charge of recruiting troops to Quyang, happened to come back, and when he heard that everyone was in the council hall and came to hand over on business, he saw this scene.

Seeing that his brother was beaten in embarrassment, Zhu Gang's face turned pale, although he didn't understand the reason, he still stepped forward and pleaded: "Bao Ye, the second year is young, and he has made mistakes, all because my brother can't teach me, and the rest of the board, please ask Bao Ye to allow his subordinates to receive it on his behalf!" ”

Zhu Qiang's face was full of tears and snot, and he shook his head vigorously, unwilling to accept his brother's kindness.

He understands the caring heart of the eldest brother, but good friends share blessings and difficulties. If he relied on his eldest brother to suffer less boards, then Shi San had no one to rely on, wouldn't he look very pitiful?

Anyway, it hurts once, just endure it a little longer!

Huo Bao saw it in his eyes and said: "Uncle Bao, Shi San is his nephew's deputy, he has also committed a crime because his nephew can't supervise it, and his nephew is willing to take the rest of the board on behalf of Shi San!" ”

Huo Bao raised his arm, motioned for the law enforcement to stop, and stood up.

"One of you is the brother and the other is the deputy, so how can you pull down my collar! How many boards were played? The latter sentence is for the law enforcement officers.

"Twenty-six boards each!"

"Then there are forty-eight boards left, let's divide it equally among the three of us!"

"Bao Ye, no!"

"Uncle Bao don't!"

Huo Bao and Li Gang were all against it.

Even Hou Xiaoming, Li Yuan, Liang Zhuang, Qiu Wei, Gao Yue and others also came out to persuade them.

"Bao Ye is going to travel far tomorrow, how can he be injured?"

"I'm willing to share the rest of the board on behalf of the two of us, and ask Bao Ye to fulfill it!"

"Zhu Er and Shi San are also our robes, and I am willing to share the punishment for them!"

"Ask Bao Ye to be fulfilled!"

“……”

I don't know who knelt first, but later, only Huo Bao, Huo Bao, and Zhu Gang were left standing in the hall.

From the very beginning, the Scouts were divided into factions.

The python head village system, the homeless people's system, and later the green snake village system, and when they went down the mountain, there were Li Yuan, Gao Yue and other artificial Quyang systems; entered the state capital, and then came in Wu Yuan, Song Qianzhi and other Yongyang people.

It's rare to have such a concerted heart.

Huo Bao still had a cold face, not angry but happy in his heart.

They are all half-sized, sharing hardships and hardships, and they are also a fusion agent for deepening feelings.

"As you wish, the rest of the boards, let's divide them!"

There are more than 20 tun chiefs in the hall, more than a dozen hundred households, two Qu chiefs, one deputy thousand households, two thousand households, plus Huo Bao is forty-six people.

One person divided one board, and the remaining two boards were received by Huo Bao.

The towels in Zhu Qiang and Shi San's mouths had already been taken down.

Zhu Qiang's face was full of gratitude, twisted his body, and waved at everyone.

Shi San lay on the ground, ashamed and didn't dare to raise his head, tears streaming down his face.

Whining!

Don't dare anymore!
