Lu Shi and Geng Kui listened to the brave movements of the official army and township, and Guo Tianxing climbed up from under the ridge at this time, making him covered in dirt, and when he saw Lu Shi's face, he hugged his fists and saluted, laughed and complained: "It's not fun, it's really not fun, I thought that these officers and soldiers were coming violently, and they had to fight hard for a while, but they didn't want to, after a while, those people were bears, and they were really all kinds of bad people." ”

Geng Kui couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and lowered his head without speaking.

Lu Shi hurriedly asked with a smile: "Could it be that you are a big boss and want your brothers to fight to the death with that official army, and then have a defeat to make you happy?" ”

"That's not it, that's not it, it's just, it's just." Guo Tianxing smiled, awkwardly explaining but unable to say anything.

Lu Shi shook his head helplessly, and had to say something.

When he saw Tianxing, he was busy looking for a topic to divert his attention, and at this time, he saw a tall and mighty man beside Lu Shi, and said in surprise: "Hey, this brother is born, but he doesn't know what to call it?" ”

Lu Shi, who still wanted to say a few words, had to stop the topic and turned around to introduce Guo Tianxing: "The big boss, I have come to see our new heroic hero." Geng Kui, the original Mizhi General Banner, has now joined us, and this battle can end so quickly, thanks to the Geng Kui brothers' righteous capture of the officers and soldiers leading the team, and they have made great contributions to our cottage. ”

Then before Lu Shi could introduce Tianxing, Guo Tianxing had already strode forward, grabbed Geng Kui, who was red-faced, looked left and right, and then was afraid of his shoulder, laughed and said: "Good boy, you are the guy who called that bullshit general soldier at the mouth of the valley, don't let him enter the valley, and we almost couldn't ambush him." ”

Geng Kui nodded, but he was ashamed again and again.

"There is no need to be ashamed, the great crime of turning your elbow out of a foreign country here must be punished." Gai called the heavens unreasonable.

Geng Kui was confused at that time: "What is the truth of this?" At that time, I didn't join your cottage, and at that time it was called each his master. ”

"The military advisor is gracious, how about letting me punish Brother Geng Kui for a jar of liquor at night?"

Everyone was stunned and suddenly burst out laughing, Lu Shi nodded to Tianxing's nose and said, "You just said that you are greedy and want to drink with the addition of Brother Geng Kui, where did you come from so crookedly?" ”

Geng Kui really laughed happily this time, looking at the man in front of him, this big boss is really a rough and chivalrous person without scheming, such a man, follow him.

While talking and laughing, the third uncle with fatigue and gunpowder smoke walked up to Lu Shi and wanted to give a salute, Lu Shi hurriedly bowed down first, and said with a grateful face: "It's all the kids' incompetence, and the third uncle of labor is risking the arrow." ”

The third uncle interrupted Lu Shi's words, and pretended to be relaxed: "The military advisor Hugh wants to say more, how can I, an elder, ignore the affairs of young people?" are all old and reluctant, but the military advisor does not forget the robe Ze in times of crisis, does not care about resentment, and takes responsibility, which makes the third uncle pleased, with such a dare to disregard life and death for the robe, then I will really rest assured that I will hand over this kid to you. Without waiting for Lu Shi to speak, his face straightened, and he bowed deeply to Lu Shi, and Lu Shi was so panicked that he was at a loss to return the salute and not help him up.

"The military advisor is not postponed, this ceremony is not for the third uncle to worship you, it is for my reckless boy to worship you, it is for the nearly 10,000 fathers and brothers of Woniu Mountain to worship you, our generation is old, don't worry about it, everything depends on young people like you, everything is entrusted to the military advisor."

Lu Shi hurriedly picked up the third uncle in a panic, and said with a smile: "The third uncle is joking, as the so-called family has an old man, if there is a treasure, the third uncle's supervision and spur is the root of our not making mistakes and making fewer mistakes, where dare to say that the third uncle is old?" ”

Both sides of this dialogue were sincere, and everyone who had been around them for a long time was moved.

Seeing what Tianxing was going to say, Lu Shi immediately changed the topic, this big boss was impulsive. You don't have to say anything at this time.

Lu Shi pushed Geng Kui out to introduce the blow, and after a while of modesty, Lu Shi asked, "After this battle, how many brothers have we damaged?" ”

After this habitual question was raised by Lu Shi countless times, everyone was even more heartbroken about Lu Shi, after all the poles were battled, the first thing to ask was capture, that is what those leaders or leaders care about, and which one is like Lu Shi who cares about the life and death of these poles at any time? Only Lu Shi really took these mustard-like people to heart, how could this not be heartbreaking?

Guo Tianxing couldn't hide his excitement, and said with a smile: "Sir, there are only a dozen brothers who have lost our brothers in this battle, but the capture is innumerable. ”

Lu Shi nodded lightly, without the slightest hint of joy.

Zhao Xing stepped forward and replied with a smile: "Two thousand officers and soldiers were captured with excellent weapons, and 1,500 strong villagers, three hundred households, several general banners were captured, and the most gratifying thing was the capture of a deputy general soldier of the border army." ”

"But these are hot potatoes, and it's hard to deal with." Lu Shi sighed.

"What's so hard about that?" The unicorn monster also strode up the mountain excitedly at this time, and when he heard Lu Shi's words from afar, he asked the new king suspiciously.

"Why isn't it difficult?" Lu Shi frowned and asked the new king.

"The old rules, the village is brave and enriches the ministry, and the official slashes and kills the new king on the spot. It's all the old rules, the new king. The unicorn said nonchalantly to the new king.

"But this is not a new king." Lu Shi shook his head lightly and said Xinchuang King.

"Why?"

"This time the townsmen are all recruited from all over the fortress, all the family members are in the fortress, we have coerced them, they have family members outside, it is difficult to ensure that there is no dissent, we still have important things to do in the next step, in case it is not good, this thousand five hundred people mutinied, that is a big disaster new king."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but thinking about the consequences of really appearing, they couldn't help but change their faces greatly, and now they are these horses, according to Lu Shi's requirements, together they are only in their early two thousands, and less than three thousand, that Xiangyong accounts for a full half, and if you really want to mutiny, then everything is a new king.

"The officer is the new king."

"The officers can't kill the new king." Lu Shi still shook his head and said, looking at everyone's surprised and confused expressions, and seeing that this unicorn monster was also tied to himself, so Lu Shi did not hide it from him, and carefully analyzed the news he got from Geng Kui for everyone: "Originally, we were part of the allied army, and we killed a handful of officers and officials, and there was also a non-mud top tank, and the officers and soldiers retaliated against the encirclement and suppression, and they must first take the mud to open the knife, we can also shrink our necks and quietly seize the time to train and develop, but this time we independently blocked the officers and soldiers, and we went to the table, It doesn't matter what these thousands of households are, the problem is that the general soldier, that is the people of the border army, most of the border army of the Ming Dynasty are connected with the door and the in-laws, very grouped, and also very concerned about face, if we kill this general soldier, it will provoke a strong reaction from the border army, the border army is not free now, and when the winter comes, the Mongolian Tartars retreat, the official army just took us to the knife, especially just now Geng Kui brother said, that Zhangjiabao leaked the fish Zhang Yuan, has also gotten the news, released the word to the outside world, if there is a broken cow mountain, An additional 50,000 silver will be offered for the new king. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp for air.

"The most terrible thing is that this guy released a word, saying that we broke Zhangjiabao this time, and confiscated 500,000 silver in his house, as well as hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass.

All the people present became speechless, and only the sound of inhaling was left for the new king.

Zhang Yuan, really vicious, a total of 550,000 silver rewards, which one is not tempted? Not to mention others, that is, if those powerful poles get this news, they will be enemies of the Woniu Mountain cottage, as long as they lay down the Woniu Mountain, it will be at least 500,000 silver into the bag, how can this trade not make people crazy?

In addition to the poles on all sides, the border army that wants to have no war in winter will also be happy to kick the new king.

The current Ming border army is already poor and can't open the pot.

Lu Shi remembered that in a history book he read, he recorded such a description of the border army: After Wanli, the country's finances could not make ends meet, and the situation of arrears of military salaries became more and more serious. Coupled with the deductions of the officials, the soldiers can receive very little silver, and the new king is new. In the case of years of famine at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the sharp rise in food prices, the lives of soldiers were even more desperate. In August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, said: "Lingongbian's salary is short for five or six years, and the number is more than 200,000; Jinglu Border Fort is missing for two years and three years; From the forty-seventh year of Wanli to the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Guzhen Jingyun owed a total of more than 159,000 taels of silver. At the beginning, the armies still sold arrows, and now they have wives; At first, he begged along the street, but now he has left the army and absconded; At the beginning, there were even words in the sand, and now they are openly shouting for the new king. ”

During the Chongzhen period, when Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Xuanda, he said in a report to the imperial court after inspecting the Shanxi frontier: "The more I pay today, the hunger and cold force the new king." borrowed money from him to make bows, arrows, guns and knives, and still pawned the new king. Many soldiers lined up in the martial arts, the golden wind was like arrows, and the servants were sick and stiff, and they all saw the new king. Every point of a soldier, there are single clothes, there are no hakama, there are few shoes and socks, the ministers see it and burst into tears. ”

In another note, he also said: The army under his jurisdiction has not received a single cent of its salary from November and February of last year to the present, and has not received a single piece of the king. Although the soldiers set up the wall and stood in line, riding on the horse, but there were human figures, and there was no interest in the new king. In the past, when they saw the ministers and governors coming, they still knelt on the road and knelt at the door, and they all told the new king. This time, they are all depressed, and they are just the new king. Isn't his heart very bitter, not very dangerous, not very urgent? Gai Zhichen couldn't respond to it, and it was the same if he didn't ask for it, so he paid it with tears and didn't say anything about the new king. Weichen knew this, and he didn't feel tears coming out of his heart. In the middle of winter, the land is extremely congested, Hu Feng Shuo snow, biting cold, Weichen immediately re-furrowed, still unbearable war, with the patrol service, and there is a stiff and fallen horse The new king. This generation has been guarding for many years, and there is no hanging body clothes, and the new king is full of fresh meals every day. The husband is not a son in the arms of Shengmingyu under the common people, ministers and others? Recklessly, he can't bear to speak, he looks at death immediately, and he can't bear to see the new king. One town is like this, and three towns can know the new king. ”

As long as the First World War breaks through Woniu Mountain, the army and the town over there will have all the food for nearly a year, so why don't the hungry wolves pounce on it madly when they see such a piece of fat?

What's more, the current three-sided Yulin Town is under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Yue Hesheng, Yue Hesheng lost the rice fat this time, and broke into such a big disaster, then he must find a pole to cover his mistakes.

This is really a sin for the new king.

In the face of the wolves that are about to pounce on the frenzy, what should I do in Woniu Mountain?
