XLVIII. Peace is a blessing

……

After Xie Ping'an, Zhuo Shaoyun and other 20 Xunshan soldiers killed the more than 60 Hu people of the Qiang tribe, cut off all their heads and piled them up in a corner outside the big tent, and then threw the headless corpses outside the bandits' nest, and began to loot the loot in the village.

"There are two thousand taels of silver and forty taels of gold here, come and see it......"

Several sergeants found a pile of gold and silver from the leather tents and threw them in a box in the big tent.

When the sergeants saw so much gold and silver, their eyes straightened, and their Adam's apple kept rolling up and down, trying to swallow their saliva.

"Why don't we split up?" One of the sergeants, Wang Wu, said with a mysterious expression, "With so much silver, we can pay each of us a hundred taels for several years......

Wang Wu's words attracted countless people to nod their heads in agreement, and they began to discuss how to distribute it.

"No one can touch any of this silver!" Suddenly, Xie Ping'an jumped out and closed the box containing the money, and then sat on the box with the pain in his butt and said, "The barracks stipulates that all seizures on the battlefield must be handed over to the Logistics Department of the Army, and we can't covet this money and lose our good future." ”

Xie Ping'an's words caused a burst of dissatisfaction around him, and he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he saw Zhuo Shaoyun jump out and say: "Big brother is right, these gold and silver were captured on the battlefield, and they should be handed over to the Logistics Department for unified distribution after being recorded in the register." ”

"But, that's more than three thousand taels of silver...... Wang Wu said unwillingly, "we really don't take some?" This time, we have all contributed a lot to exterminate the Hu Nu entrenched here! ”

Xie Ping'an clasped his hands around his chest and said firmly: "Wang Wu, what is the most admirable thing about our Xunshan men besides their courage? That's the backbone, I'd rather starve to death than do those things like stealing chickens and dogs,

What's more, what does this small number compare to the future prospects? You must not miss your future because of a small loss, why did Cao Qi always put the heavy task of raiding Python Mountain in our hands? It's not that we Xunshan men have incomparable trust! ”

Wang Wu and several soldiers around him who were clamoring for a share of the silver smacked their lips, and lowered their heads in shame one by one, Xie Ping'an said very reasonably, he stood out from the military camp of tens of thousands of people as soon as he was transferred to the main camp, and carried out such an important task, it can be seen that the superiors trust him, and he will definitely get more silver in the future than in front of him.

Besides, some of this silver will definitely be rewarded, and when the time comes, it will be safe to hold it in your hand and spend it, and there is no need to sneak around as if you were a thief.

After seeing that everyone's emotions calmed down, Xie Ping'an touched his stomach and said: "However, although the gold, silver and horses seized this time must be handed over first, we can take out some of the food in the bandits' nest to satisfy the hunger......"

Speaking of this, he looked at the mutton bones and meat foam scattered all over the place in the tent, licked his tongue, swallowed his saliva and said: "It's better to stew a sheep tonight to warm up your body, I believe that even if the officials know, there will be no words, Wang Wu, Li Si, Zhao Liu, you hurry up and set up a pot to kill the sheep and boil water, forget it, I will kill the sheep myself, who will pluck the wool ......"

Everyone cheered when they heard this, it seems that they can eat enough meat with their open bellies tonight, although they can eat enough meat in the army, but this meat is not eaten every day, and they can't let go of this opportunity when they finally seize this opportunity, and soon everyone began to collect firewood, or go out of the tent to feed the horses, and leave the dissatisfaction of not being able to receive gold and silver before.

Seeing this, Zhuo Shaoyun immediately opened his mouth and said to Xie Ping'an: "Big brother, you are busy, I will go outside to patrol the night and keep guard, so as not to miss the net......"

"Dress warmer...... Xie Ping'an smiled with relief, took a fox scarf and wrapped it around him, and handed him a woolen cloak that he had pulled off from Hu Nu, "I'll call you when the meat is cooked, don't go too far, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, big brother......" Zhuo Shaoyun fastened the cloak strap on his chest, responded to Xie Ping'an, and then whispered, "Big brother, I gave you the credit for picking and killing the bandit leader this time......

"Bastard thing......" Xie Ping'an knocked on the iron helmet on his head when he heard this, and said angrily, "Do you think the eldest brother will compete with you for credit?" It's too late for you to be happy, why are you afraid that I will stumble you? ”

"Big brother, I didn't mean that......" Zhuo Shaoyun hurriedly said, "It's just that you and my brother still have something to share with each other?" I only ......"

"Okay, don't say it again, hurry up and go out to patrol the night......" Xie Ping'an interrupted Zhuo Shaoyun's words, raised the long lance on the side and handed it to him and patted his shoulder, "There is no selfishness in the army, whoever the credit belongs to should be, are you still afraid that the eldest brother will have fewer opportunities for meritorious service in the future?" Let's go, wait for the meat......"

In this way, Zhuo Shaoyun was "driven" out of the big tent by Xie Ping'an and began to patrol in this dark night.

Coming to the gate of the village, looking at the headless corpse that had been frozen and looking up at the snow, Zhuo Shaoyun tightened the lance in his hand, his eyes were full of perseverance, and he secretly swore: "I, Zhuo Shaoyun, will definitely get ahead one day to repay my brother's nurturing grace." ”

……

At the same time, Ye Town, twenty miles away from Python Mountain, dozens of scouts gathered here from all directions and hurriedly ran towards the intelligence division set up in the town.

As soon as these scouts entered the gate of the Intelligence Division, they gave a military salute to a 27-8-year-old gray-clothed man sitting on the main case.

"How's it going? Long story short, as long as the result ......"

The man in gray only lowered his head to deal with the documents on the case, and said a word to the Tanma in front of the case without raising his head.

A probe horse arched his hand and said: "Qiqi Law Staff, all the troubles entrenched in this place within a radius of fifty miles have been pacified, and the rebellion against Hu Nu in all parts of southern Hebei has basically been eliminated......"

"Hmph, that's to be expected!" The man in gray snorted coldly as he closed the booklet in his hand, then took another booklet and opened it before continuing, "So where are the Lord Commander and his family?" ”

Tanma replied: "If you go back to France, the convoy of the military governor has been rested in the new town twenty miles away from here. ”

"Very good, keep a close eye on the surroundings of the Governor's collapse, don't let suspicious people enter the city! Step aside. The man in gray said with a blank expression, and continued to flip through the book.

After the horse retreated, the man in gray slowly got up and looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window, with a strange expression on his face.

"Lord Strategist, you have done too much in Dingzhou, and it has made the Lord Military Governor very dissatisfied with you, so I have transferred my Faji from the headquarters of the Intelligence Department to check and balance your power, and I will work with you in the future, I hope we can get along happily......"
