300 Hao Shaoqi
"General, look at Tian Jianxiu, Liu Zongmin, and these people, they fought a defeated battle, but in the end, did King Chuang punish them?"
In a tent in the peasant army, a young Ren was complaining to a middle-aged man.
"Not only was there no punishment, but the generals who had lost the battle were replenished in the blink of an eye."
"Look at us again, General, you have made great contributions to King Chuang's birth and death, but what did you get in the end? Nothing! ”
"Why?? Just because Tian Jianxiu and Liu Zongmin are the henchmen of King Chuang, and you are the talent promoted by the predecessor Gao Wangye? ”
"Say no more!!"
The middle-aged man was quiet and interrupted the young man's complaint rather dissatisfied.
"No matter what Lord Gao says, he also has the grace of knowing me, King Chuang is a nephew of Lord Gao and others, so I should be loyal to him, where do I have so much resentment!"
"General, you don't fight, but the brothers don't accept it, why should the leader of other people's families casually make a little merit, he can be rewarded countless times, and the official is promoted to the first class, and our brothers didn't fight to the death that time, and the merits they made are not less than others, but in the end, they can't get anything out of the night!!"
The young man was so reluctant to keep his mouth shut, and he had been holding back these words for a long time.
"Alas, I did you wrong!!"
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh, and wanted to scold the guards around him a few words, but thinking about the complaints and facts in his words, he couldn't say a few heavy words.
The middle-aged man is not a fresh face, but a general who has been seen in Li Zicheng's meeting hall, and it was the general surnamed Hao who was sitting under Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu at that time, named Yongzhong, and nicknamed Hao Shaoqi.
Hao Shaoqi was originally Gao Yingxiang's henchman, and Li Zicheng was an equal existence at the beginning, but later when the first king Gao Yingxiang was defeated and died, his nephew Li Zicheng inherited his throne and foundation, Hao Shaoqi turned around and worshiped under Li Zicheng, from an equal colleague to his subordinate.
Hao Shaoqi was grateful for Gao Yingxiang's promotion back then, and he was respectful to the newly appointed King Li Zicheng, and he was also respectful in the battlefield battle, and he was not arrogant in front of Li Zicheng because of the past.
On the contrary, Li Zicheng himself, over the years, with his own prestige, he has gradually replaced the former king Gao Yingxiang, and gradually in the army, for Gao Yingxiang and other old people, began to gradually target, especially like Hao Shaoqi, who has more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands, and among the leaders of the older generation of generals, high-level generals with great prestige are indispensable to treat them coldly.
"General, our brothers swear to follow you to the death, and we have nothing to say, but what my brothers can't see is the injustice of King Chuang to us, especially to you!"
The young man's surname is You Mingtao, and he is a fierce general promoted by Hao Shaoqi from the army, and he is also one of his henchmen, otherwise there would not be so many daring people to dare to be unscrupulous in front of Hao Shaoqi.
"Otherwise, let's pull the army out and do it alone, we won't be wronged!!"
Of the 80,000 troops dispatched by He Sanjiang this time, 20,000 of them were drawn from Hao Shaoqi's command, but after the first battle, no matter how serious the losses of other people's soldiers were, they could leave more than half of the remnants of the soldiers; But when they arrived at their Hao family's army, only 6,000 of the 20,000 soldiers who went out could come back alive in the end, and the rest of the soldiers had already died in the previous battle.
I won't talk about it, after all, no one can say anything about the battlefield clearly, although You Tao and they suspected in their hearts that He Sanjiang was deliberately using the soldiers of the Hao family army as cannon fodder, and everyone must know who the instructer was.
But after returning to the army, the other generals who lost their troops and lost their generals, which did not receive the rich reward of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and soon added a large number of soldiers from the homeless people, but only their Hao family army, the number of soldiers lost was the largest, but the reward was the least, and even the soldiers of other people's families were almost made up, and the soldiers lost by their Hao family army were replenished, but they have not even seen a shadow so far.
No matter how peaceful the bodhisattva is concerned, he will resist if he is bullied, not to mention soldiers like You Tao who are fighting on the edge of life and death, which one of them will not take a knife on the spot if they don't agree with each other?
Now this Li Zicheng's eccentricity and other temperaments really made You Tao and them unbearable, and finally found Hao Shaoqi and encouraged him to stand on his own.
"Bold !!"
Hao Shaoqi's tiger eyes were round, and the thick murderous intent sparkled in his dark eyes, and there was a great taste of You Tao tearing him apart if he said another word.
"The old prince Gao is as kind to me as a mountain, and I am grateful to him, how can I be that kind of ungrateful person??"
Hao Shaoqi is a fool with a strong attitude of loyalty and righteousness in his heart, although he never knew that he was soft-hearted on the battlefield, but on weekdays, he was a person who valued brotherly friendship and all kinds of kindness very seriously.
"If it weren't for the fact that you have been saddled up and died for me all these years, for anyone's saddle, as soon as the previous sentence was spoken, Lao Tzu would have hacked him to death on the spot!!"
The young man didn't seem to be frightened by Hao Shaoqi's fierce words, but after a few breaths of resentment, his eyes were fierce and he choked again.
"General, the last general will die today, but please listen to the words of the last general first, and after the last general corrects the law, I can reminisce about the last general's brave loyalty!!"
"The general values benevolence and righteousness, this is something that everyone knows well, and it has to be admired, and it is also the biggest reason why the last general and others are willing to follow the general!"
"But, General!"
"The word benevolence and righteousness is not just the contribution of one party, it should be the joint contribution of both parties, so as to leave a good story!"
"The one who had the grace of knowing you at the beginning was the former king Gao Yingxiang, not today's King Li Zicheng; Although Li Zicheng is the nephew of Prince Gao, how can Li Zicheng, who is not a parent-child descendant, be able to obtain the loyalty that the general passed on to him? Have you ever wondered? ”
"Let's not talk about it, if he Li Zicheng treats you and us soldiers equally, and shows his fair attitude as a leader, then even if we work hard for him, even if there is no kinship between him and Lord Gao, it is all right."
"But what did he do with us? And how did he deal with his henchmen? Do you always think that he deserves to be called a generation of virtuous kings for these discriminatory and unfair things? ”
Maybe these words of complaint have been held back in You Tao's heart for a long time, but this heart-opening complaint, but it is endless, and there is a loud sound, so that Hao Shaoqi can't help but be stunned when he hears it.
