Chapter 299: The Kindness of a Woman
After getting drunk, Dou Jiande fell asleep for a day and a night.
The cold wind is bleak, and the north wind is howling.
In front of the Xiangping camp, Dou Jiande carried a burden with a wooden stick, stood in front of the camp gate, looked back, and was always reluctant to take the step of leaving.
With the Ming Guangjia removed and the yellow military robe removed, they were no longer the two hundred commanders of the Liaodong County Barracks.
The three horsemen came out of the camp.
But it is Luo Cheng's three righteous sons.
The tall Kan Ling stepped forward, "My father-in-law asked our brother to send you off, I hope you will cherish it all the way." It's a little entanglement, and the other three horses are for you. ”
Luo Cheng asked Kan Ling and the three of them to send Dou Jiande and the three of them on his behalf, and gave each of them ten yuan of money, and a horizontal knife and a horse.
"Jiande didn't dare to accept it, and he didn't have the face to accept it." Dou Jiande looked embarrassed.
Wang Xiong said, "This ten times of money was originally for you, two hundred people have a reward for the New Year, if you don't leave, this is the New Year's reward." Now gone, this is the general's entanglement for your travel expenses. The road is not very smooth, and this horizontal knife is considered self-defense. ”
After a few simple words, the three of them didn't linger long, put down their things and left.
Dou Jiande looked at these things and was speechless for a long time.
Liu Heimin looked through it, and there were about one or two pieces of broken silver worth five times in the ten guan coins, about two pieces of copper coins, and three pieces of silk. Luo Cheng was thoughtful for them, which was not only easy to carry, but also convenient for trading on the road.
"Brother-in-law, General Luo is really good, it's really not worth it for us to leave the barracks for the sake of Sun Anzu and Gao Shida."
Liu Heimin put the silver money on his body, put the silk and money on the horse, and said, "Yes, in fact, we could have stayed, even if we were demoted to foot soldiers, we can use our brother's ability, sooner or later we can atone for our sins, and then become a captain of two hundred people, or even a captain and a general." ”
He still remembered that Luo Cheng had said before that he had decided to promote a few of them to lieutenants, but they messed up themselves.
"General Luo is indeed a good person, he can not only fight, but also sympathize with his brothers, follow him to be rewarded for meritorious service, and there are many benefits, it is naturally rare to be able to follow such a general. But that's why I'm leaving, and I don't have the face to stay. And you also saw it in the military tent, the military academy is full of tents, and there are few who really speak for us, to put it bluntly, we are all from Hebei, and we have not joined for a short time, and we have not been treated as their brothers by Luo Cunxiao. ”
"Brother-in-law, what should we do now, do we really go back to Zhangnan's hometown?"
"Let's go, go home."
Although I was very reluctant in my heart, I finally managed to fight hard to get a battalion captain of 200 people, and it was gone, but there was no way. If he had been thick-skinned, he could have stayed.
Even if a boss like Luo Cunxiao doesn't want to see him, he will still be able to get acquainted with it sooner or later.
But the more Luo Cheng treated him well, the more faceless he became.
He Dou Jiande is a dignified person who stresses righteousness and morality, and staying is charity.
Facing the frost wind in the morning, Dou Jiande rode the horse given by Luo Cheng with the headache left by the hangover, carried the horizontal knife he gave him, and left the barracks with some reluctance.
He secretly swore in his heart that if he Dou Jiande had the opportunity to come out, he would never forget Luo Cheng's kindness to him.
The three of them rode for a while, and then they saw two people standing on the side of the road in Liaoze.
I was a little embarrassed, and on a winter morning, I was only wearing a thin middle coat, shivering from the cold.
"Big brother, it's Sun Anzu and Gao Shida."
Liu Heimin recognized the two of them at a glance, and his eyes were full of fire, so he reached out and touched the knife directly.
The two of them also saw the three of them, like a drowning man seeing a straw and hurriedly ran over.
"Big brother." Sun Anzu came over and hugged Dou Jiande's horse's head.
Dou Jiande's expression was cold.
Just said coldly, "Why are you here?" ”
Gao Shida said a little sneeringly, "After you let us go, Captain Zhao of the scout camp led people to arrest all of us and escorted us back, originally we thought that we would definitely die this time, but who expected that last night General Luo came to see us, said something to us, and then ordered us to be released this morning." He also said that you were implicated because of the two of us, and now you have been expelled back to your hometown, so the two of us are waiting for you here. ”
Liu Heimin said angrily, "Damn, why didn't you cut you two bastards?" We were so burdened by you that we were going to be promoted to captain, but as soon as you two bastards ran away, our own captain ran away, and the ones who hurt us also ran away. Several bloody battles, the feats that were exchanged for their lives, are now all in vain. ”
Sun Anzu slapped himself in the face.
"Big brother, Hei Min and Fu Bao, they all blame us for being confused for a while, we can't stop you."
Dou Jiande ignored the two. Then Sun Anzu continued to slap his face, and his face was swollen after a while.
Finally, Dou Jiande couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. Since General Luo also let you go, let's go home together. With that, Dou opened his baggage and took his clothes and gave them to the two.
Sun Anzu and the others hurriedly put on their clothes with trembling hands and feet, and finally felt less cold.
"Let's go."
Dou Jiande and the three rode in front, and Sun Anzu Gao Shida wiped his nose while trotting behind.
Barrack.
Luo Cheng listened to Zhao Guiyu's report and said that Dou Jiande took Sun Anzu and the others away.
"Is this Dou Jiande stupid?" The fourth asked.
Luo Cheng smiled.
"I expected this to be the case, Dou Jiande is known as benevolent and righteous, but sometimes he is too benevolent to women. Benevolence and righteousness can make him successful, but it will also make him lose in the end. ”
The fourth child sneered, "What can a person like Dou Jiande who has in his head do?" ”
Luo Cheng just shook his head and didn't talk about them anymore.
"Wei Ji room, before the Chinese New Year, remember to send the reward money, as well as the clothes, quilts, shoes and socks we bought from Huaiyuan. If we buy more livestock and fruits from the merchants, although we can't go home this year, we can also have a lively and grand life, and we want to give the brothers a feeling of home. ”
Wei Zheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, there are 6,000 soldiers in the county, 4,000 auxiliary soldiers and 8,000 people, anyway, I just have to follow the general's brothers, and no one is missed, and all of them will be rewarded." All the money earned by the winery and the iron mill was taken out. A soldier has five runs, two hundred people are ten runs, twenty captains, fifty partial generals, and one hundred generals. One auxiliary soldier runs twice, and one civilian husband is consistent. In addition, shoes, socks and clothing have been prepared, and livestock and vegetables and fruits are also ready, this year is definitely a lively year. ”
The reward money given to them by the imperial court also came down, but it only accounted for a very small part of the reward this time, and even one percent was not enough. can be so rich, all depends on the money earned by Luo Cheng Liquor Workshop and Tiefang, especially the liquor workshop, liquor is now selling hot in Liaoxi, making money every day.
can't stand these 18,000 people, and if you give out an annual reward, you will also empty the small treasury.
But Luo Cheng is not stingy, everyone follows him to work hard here, and you can't let everyone drink the northwest wind during the New Year.
