Chapter 0069 - Excessive Deduction of Military Salaries
Chu Liuyun also saw that the crossbow arrows of his army were shot at Fang Jue's camp, and he didn't know if he had hurt anyone, this was purely a misfire, it turned out that there was a problem with the crossbow bowstring, and at the moment when the crossbow arrows were shot, the crossbow actually deviated from the direction.
Fang Jue took all the soldiers and surrounded the fence, of course, he came to ask Chu Liuyun for an explanation. Chu Liuyun knew that he was at a loss, so his only son stepped forward. Unexpectedly, Yao Qi instigated the soldiers to follow.
"Stop, give me all back, and continue training." Chu Liuyun turned around and scolded Yao Qi and the soldiers.
"Captain Chu, it's really accurate." Fang Jue was sarcastic.
Nan Feng threw the shield with crossbow arrows in front of Chu Liuyun, and then carried the wounded soldier over. Covered in blood, motionless, it looked like he was either dead or almost dead.
Chu Liuyun was suddenly a little nervous, if he was really going to die, it was a big deal, his own soldiers were okay to say, but this was Fang Jue's soldier, if Fang Jue sued a deliberate murder or caused friendly friction, it would be enough for Chu Liuyun to have a headache.
"The sword has no eyes, and it is inevitable to make mistakes." Chu Liuyun said.
"The sword has no eyes, are all your right Chu army blind? It's inevitable to make mistakes, the soldiers are also living people raised by their parents, and you are just sloppy with people's lives? Fang Jue's tone was a little serious, even a little excited.
"I didn't mean that, I... I am willing to compensate. Chu Liuyun suddenly didn't know how to answer, looking at Fang Jue's excited appearance, it could be that the soldier on the ground was killed by his own soldier.
On this side of the fence, Fang Jue's soldiers were all in rags, some of their armor had fallen off most of them, and the injured parts were stained red with blood, and their faces were also blue and purple, and there were blood stains, all of them looked at Chu Liuyun with wide eyes, and they did look a little chilling at this time.
"What do you take with you?"
Fang Jue's tone suddenly softened, what he was waiting for was Chu Liuyun's words.
"You can make an offer." Chu Liuyun saw that Fang Jue was relieved, he could take the money, and he couldn't care about it so much.
"Give me ten crossbows and a thousand bolts." Fang Jue's lion opened his mouth.
Chu Liuyun hesitated, and seemed to be a little reluctant. I only have fifty crossbows in total, and ten of them are problematic. Chu Liuyun suddenly thought of the ten problematic crossbows, and his tone was full of forbearance. "Okay, I promise you."
"Nan Feng, you take someone over to carry things." Fang Jue heard Chu Liuyun agree, for fear that Chu Liuyun would regret it, so he hurriedly ordered Nan Feng to go over and carry the crossbow.
Soon, Nan Feng returned to his camp with ten crossbows and a thousand arrows.
"Yo, yes, I've written down your kid's credit, get up." Fang Jue lightly kicked the soldier who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
"Young master, you still have a way, this time seeing that he Chu Liuyun still dares to be arrogant, if he dares to shoot over, we can also shoot him back."
Fang Jue touched the crossbow with a face that couldn't hide his happiness. "Who's going to use this crossbow?"
Eh, suddenly there was silence, Fang Jue naturally couldn't pull the bowstring.
"General, I'll come." A soldier, walking over, somewhat excited.
"Okay, here you go." Fang Jue took a few steps back.
"There's something wrong with this crossbow, the tripod is unstable, and the bowstring is badly worn." The soldier looked at the other crossbows. "General Qiyu, these crossbows are more or less problematic, and it is easy to break the string and miss the arrow."
It's quite professional, and it looks like I've used it before. Fang Jue was not only not angry, but happy. There are still people among your soldiers who can use crossbows, and that's a treasure. Fang Jue had long expected that Chu Liuyun would not give himself so many crossbows so simply, it turned out that there was a problem. But it's okay, it can still be repaired, and it can continue to be used after repairing.
"Childe, you are so cheap Fang Jue's kid. You didn't see the soldier who was playing dead just now, and now he is jumping and jumping well. Yao Qi's face was angry and unwilling. What kind of generals and soldiers are all shameless hooligans and robbers. ”
Chu Liuyun was also a little disappointed, he didn't expect to be careless, he was actually calculated by Fang Jue, since he said it, he couldn't go back. Chu Liuyun clenched his fists, and his joints squeaked against each other.
"Hmph, let him get carried away, and in a month, see who is the strongest new army." Chu Liuyun calmed down, and then continued to train the soldiers.
"Young master, lunch is here." Nan Feng saw a guy from the restaurant at the door.
A box of meals per person, a lot of meat, enough rice. Fang Jue ate with the soldiers, the food in the restaurant was really delicious, the soldiers ate with relish, and even licked the lunch box clean.
On Chu Liuyun's side, the soldiers began to make a fire to cook, and the food was enough, but the meat was not. Smelling the smell of meat wafting from Fang Jue's barracks, these soldiers began to feel a little emotional, why did they have meat to eat, but they still had to cook, and there was no oil and water. They didn't know that these were all paid by Fang Jue out of his own pocket, and they thought it was bias from above. At first, it was just a discussion, but then it developed into a protest, refusing to light a fire and cooking, which is a hunger strike.
"What are you going to do, are you going to rebel?"
Yao Qi walked over and criticized harshly.
"General, it's not fair, didn't you say that the conditions of the new army are superior, the training intensity has increased, why is it still the same as before for a few days, how can we stand it."
"Yes, why does the other side's military camp have meat to eat, and there is also roast chicken. It's not that someone has deducted military salaries and put them in their own pockets. ”
"We don't accept it, we want to eat meat."
The soldiers began to surround Yao Qi, wanting Yao Qi to give an explanation.
"What a bold man, do you mean that the general is harshly withholding your military salary? Dare to talk nonsense again, military law is engaged. Yao Qi was a little angry, and he couldn't allow others to wronged his son-in-law, so he drew his sword and stood.
Well, this is a weak heart, and they want to kill people, but the soldiers are all angry and gnashing their teeth, not afraid at all, they don't believe that Yao Qi can kill a thousand people in the barracks.
Chu Liuyun was in the tent, listening to the noise outside, and hurriedly came out to check.
"Yao Qi, why is it noisy?"
"Young master, they said that you were harsh on military salaries."
Chu Liuyun was also taken aback. "Withholding military salaries."
"General, we train so hard, why don't we have meat to eat?" A soldier plucked up his courage and said to Chu Liuyun.
"The country is in war every year, and the treasury has long been depleted, and it is already the best treatment for you to have enough to eat." As far as Chu Liuyun knew, some troops had one meal a day, and they were half-full.
"Why do Captain Fang's soldiers have meat to eat?"
Chu Liuyun was a little embarrassed, he had already heard Yao Qi's report on this issue. Fang Jue's soldiers had meat to eat, but Fang Jue paid out of his own pocket, and there was no silver tael allocated on it. Chu Liuyun is not like Fang Jue, the border city has been fighting repeatedly, and the people are hungry, so the economy of the border city can be regarded as poor, and the army can only barely be maintained, or Chu Yunxiao tried his best to raise it. Not to mention giving the silver to Chu Liuyun, who was far away in the capital. It is even more impossible for Chu Liuyun to ask Prime Minister Wang Si for it, after all, he has been living and eating for so many years, and he still plans to marry his daughter to himself.
