Chapter 169: Grudge
The soldiers robbed for a long time, and most of them were still on empty stomachs, so after someone shouted "Go to the firehead", the angry soldiers gathered at the location of the fire room. When they arrived at the fire room, the soldiers found dozens of fireheads sitting around in a few piles, eating cakes and drinking soup.
"Okay, if you don't bring food to our brothers, they will eat by themselves! Hit! A soldier yelled angrily.
Then the soldiers rushed up, shouting and swearing, tearing at the fireheads. If you have a quick hand, you can even eat a bite or two of cakes.
The firehead soldiers were aggrieved and frightened holding their heads, curled up in a ball, bearing the fists and feet and anger of the soldiers. They did not cook for the soldiers today, only their own. According to convention, this meal should be the responsibility of Qi County. So they made some vegetable soup, scalded some cakes, and ate lunch for themselves. I didn't expect so many soldiers to rush in and beat them for no reason.
The soldiers in front were beating the fireheads, and the soldiers in the back couldn't squeeze in, so they didn't bother to do that, and went directly to the room to find something to eat. They had more than a thousand soldiers, and there was not enough food to eat, so the soldiers began to rush to the storehouse where the grain and grass were stored. They quickly removed bags of flour from the storeroom and stopped the soldiers from beating the fireheads.
"Get up!" A military academy dragged a beaten firehead soldier with a blue nose and swollen face to the flour pile and roared, "Cook for grandpa!" ”
"That's right! Cook! The soldier grabbed all the fireheads from the ground, shoved them around the flour, and roared.
"Okay, okay, this is done, this is done." The fireheads did not dare to disobey, so they had to agree repeatedly.
At this time, the military leader in charge of grain and grass squeezed in, hugged his fists and said, "Brothers, you have taken too much, put some back." That's our food for ten days. ”
The flour is all wheat flour, and it is mixed with other flours such as buckwheat noodles and sorghum noodles when cooking. But the soldiers didn't care about this, and took out all the wheat flour that had just been put into the warehouse and piled it up near the house.
"What are you doing?!" The military academy shouted loudly: "You still want to eat multigrain rice for grandpa?!" The fine grains you eat every day are miscellaneous things for your grandfathers! Today, the grandfathers are going to eat white flour rice! ”
"That's right! Eat white flour rice! ”
"Eat noodles!"
"Fried sauce whistle!"
……
The soldiers shouted loudly that they would take advantage of this opportunity to have a good meal today.
"Brothers, you can't eat like this." The grain officer persuaded loudly.
"Old miscellaneous skin! If you dare to stop it again, the grandfathers will not be welcome! The military academy said loudly, and then walked over to the grain officer.
The grain officer looked at the soldiers who had gathered around him, and did not dare to say more. quietly withdrew backwards and went to find General Zhang to report the news.
The soldiers helped set up pots, fetch firewood and water. Soon the preparations were made and the boiling water began. As for the fireheads, they began to make peace and whistles.
The grain officer reported the situation to General Zhang, and General Zhang didn't dare to care, so to stop it at this time was to send him to death. The angry soldiers can do everything, and when they are in a hurry, they will become thieves, and now there are not a few officers and soldiers in the ranks of the thieves. So I had to continue to report it and report it to Chen Yongfu to know.
In the back hall of the county ya, Chen Yongfu and Yang Shoubei are pushing cups and changing lamps. Li Yan just kept being polite, while Gao Mingheng and Su Jing looked down on Wufu from the bottom of their bones, and they were not interested in drinking well with Chen Yongfu, so only Yang Shoubei deliberately stammered Chen Yongfu, so the two drank the most.
At this time, a messenger came in and said a few words to Chen De, after which Chen De went out. After a while, Chen De came in and reported in Chen Yongfu's ear: "Father, the soldiers in the barracks have grabbed food and are cooking for themselves. ”
Chen Yongfu frowned and asked, "What's the situation?!" How could this happen?! ”
Chen De replied: "It is said that the food prepared for him is not enough, which caused the soldiers to scramble. After that, the soldiers went to loot the grain depot, and now they have begun to make food. It has been reported that we don't have much food left. ”
With a "snap", Chen Yongfu slapped the round table, causing the wine and soup on the table to splash out. Everyone was scrambling to dodge, and then they looked at Chen Yongfu in surprise.
"Vice Admiral Chen!" Gao Mingheng frowned and asked, "What do you mean?!" ”
Chen Yongfu ignored Gao Mingheng, but stared at Li Yan across Yang Shoubei, and asked, "Mr. Li!" What did you say when you were in the barracks?! ”
Li Yan didn't know why, and asked, "What is the big boss asking?" ”
"What do you say?!" Chen De shouted loudly: "You said that you have prepared food for us, why didn't you give enough!" ”
Li Yan said: "Five thousand horses, two steps and eight horses, the food and forage prepared by the lowly post can definitely make thirty percent of the soldiers full, how can it be said that the lowly post is not enough?" ”
"Sancheng?!" Chen De stretched out his hand to grab Li Yan, and at the same time shouted, "You dare to say that you are ready?!" ”
Li Yan raised his hand and flicked it outward, and pushed Chen De aside. Chen De staggered two steps before finally standing firm, ready to immediately draw his sword to counterattack, but he reached out and grabbed the air. Only then did he remember that when he came in, he had already handed over the saber to the official of the county government for safekeeping.
Chen De turned around and pounced on Li Yan again, smashing directly into Li Yan's face with a punch.
Li Yan still sat in his seat, turned his head to dodge Chen De's fist, stretched out his left foot and stepped on Chen De's right foot, and then knocked his elbow on Chen De's abdomen.
Chen De's right foot was behind him, and now he was trampled and couldn't take a step, as if he was about to fall. And he was hit in the abdomen by Li Yan again, although there was not much noise, but even if he was wearing Shanwen armor, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"Mr. Chen Qian, be careful, don't fall." Li Yan said lightly. After that, he pushed Chen De up with a strong arm.
Chen Deqiang endured the pain in his abdomen, gritted his teeth, and stared at Li Yan without speaking.
At this time, Chen Yongfu also saw that his son had suffered a loss. But in front of Gao Mingheng and Su Jing, he didn't plan to fight, and his fists and feet might not be better than his son's.
"Stand in the back!" Chen Yongfu gave orders to his son. After that, he stared at Li Yan and asked, "Mr. Li, give Ben Jiang an explanation!" Why do you only prepare 30% of the meals for my sons?! ”
Li Yan glanced at Su Jing, and then replied: "Su Xianzun has already told the military academy sent by the marshal that the county can only provide the marshal with thirty percent of the grain and grass, and the rest needs to be taken care of by the marshal." ”
Su Jing also nodded and said, "Yes, this county has already talked to the military academy in contact." Could it be that Vice Admiral Chen has not been rewarded? ”
Chen Yongfu stopped talking, he knew about the situation, but he didn't care. For his army, as long as they know where there are people, they will not starve. It's just that he didn't expect that Li Yan and Su Jing would really only prepare thirty percent of the meals for his subordinates.
