Chapter 12 Winning the hearts and minds of the people
"What! You said that the congratulatory gifts were robbed? In the big tent of the left army of the Imperial Front Army, Yang Xing lifted Liang Gang, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and yelled at him.
"General, the last general escorted the congratulatory gifts all the way, and as soon as he left the city less than twenty miles, he was blocked by Yan Zhaowu and his people."
Liang Gang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said with some fear.
"Yan Zhaowu?"
Yang Xing frowned, and the man who was guarding Xiao Yu's side and had been staring at him had just come up with the Northern Army that day.
"Do you have a holiday? Why is he blocking your way? ”
Yang Xing let go of his hand and asked puzzled. At present, the Imperial Front Army and the Northern Army are relatively peaceful, after all, the Yong and E coalition forces have not retreated, creating friction between the two armies, but they will be dealt with by military law. If it weren't for the reason, Yan Liang wouldn't have been so reckless.
"It's not a holiday! General, the last general doesn't know that Yan Zhaowu, what can he do? ”
Liang Gang cried with a sad face, what can he have with that evil star, after this incident, Liang Gang was completely afraid of Yan Liang, and lifted himself from the horse with one hand, such a fierce man, Liang Gang would never dare to provoke.
"Then why did he block your way and snatch the congratulatory gifts!?"
Intuition told Yang Xing that there must be something hidden in this.
"General, he said that the last general robbed his subordinates of the spoils, and he snatched the congratulatory gifts."
"What! They say the congratulatory gift is their trophy? ”
Yang Xing almost didn't eat Liang Gang, but it was carefully selected by himself, a full sixty high-quality red-maned horses, even ordinary generals in the army could not have such good horses.
There are also three gold and three silver, three boxes of gold ingots, three boxes of silver ingots, six wolf consumption daao, six jade Buddha phases, and six gold knives for cutting deer. This was all obtained by Yang Xing with great effort and at a great price, how could it become his Yan Liang's spoils in a blink of an eye?
"How can you say that he ate leopard gall? I just made up a reason and snatched the congratulatory gift from you? ”
"Exactly! General, I have clearly warned him, this is a birthday gift from the general to Lord Zuo Xiang, but that guy is messing around. said that he didn't care about the left and right ministers, he only knew that this was the loot of his subordinates. ”
"Damn it!"
Yang Xing listened to a burst of evil fire, rushing straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and he couldn't bear it.
"You're a piece of trash, too! This little thing can't be done! ”
Yang Xing looked at Liang Gang kneeling in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and when he got up, he kicked him in the heart.
"Ah...... The general spares his life! The general spares his life! ……”
Liang Gang screamed in pain and fell to the ground, Yang Xing stepped forward and kept kicking and hitting him, and kept chanting in his mouth: "Waste!" Rubbish! ”
"That's it! What are you doing? Beat and scold soldiers at will, but it is a taboo in the army! ”
A ray of sunlight shone into the tent, and Sima You walked into the tent with a displeased face.
"Dashuai, Dashuai save me, Dashuai save me!"
When Liang Gang saw Sima You, he immediately endured the pain and asked Sima You for help.
"Uncle, this waste has lost all the birthday gifts we gave to Lord Zuo Xiang. That's a lot of money! ”
Although he was stopped by Sima You, Yang Xing was still angry, and pointed at Liang Gang and reprimanded loudly.
"Marshal, General. Spare your life! Spare your life! ……”
Liang Gang suddenly kowtowed like pounding garlic, constantly begging for mercy from the two, his eyes glancing at Yang Xing from time to time, with a trace of ruthlessness and hatred in it.
"Go down, I think you are also an old man of the Imperial Army, this time I will let you go. If there is a next time, there will be no mercy! ”
"Yes, yes. Thank you Marshal, thank you General! ”
Liang Gang was pardoned, and ran out of the tent with a roll.
"Yang Xing~Sima You~"
Liang Gang stood outside the tent with his heart covered, his eyes staring at the big tent, his eyes full of hatred
"Wait! Lao Tzu was born and died for you, but in the end he was not as good as a dog, I want you to regret what you did today! ”
Liang Gang gritted his teeth, as if jumping out of his teeth, and said this sentence with full of resentment, and then slowly left the army little by little.
"Uncle, I'm going to mobilize troops and horses and level the camp of his army in the north!"
Yang Xing carried the steel gun on the weapon rack and wanted to walk out.
"Wait, can't you think about it before you do it?"
As soon as Yang Xing took two steps, he was stopped by Sima You.
"Uncle, what's wrong with my nephew?"
Yang Xing stopped, with doubts on his face, and asked Sima You with grievances and puzzles.
"What's the matter? What's wrong with you! Can't you just let me save some snacks? Do you think he is a bandit in the north of the army? Does it mean that if you exterminate it, you can exterminate it, and if you say that you can do it, you can level it? ”
Sima You came up and slapped Yang Xing on the back of the head, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel.
"His army to the north had 24,000 men and horses. There are Yan Liang, Zhu Tianpeng, Liu Kan, Wang Lang, Hu Kuo and other generals. Although there is still a big gap in strength compared with our imperial army, it is not a soft persimmon. Once the war starts, not to mention how the imperial court and the Zuo Prime Minister will explain, just attacking each other, the loss of financial, material, and manpower will already outweigh the losses! ”
"But they can't be cheap like that, they're not!"
Sima You's words suddenly made Yang Xing anxious. He eats everything, but he can't eat at a loss. His own side is in an overwhelming advantage, why should he let his northern army ride on the neck and!
"On that day, when the two armies converged, I took notice. Although this Yan Liang is brave, he is a new member of the Northern Army. And he is very greedy for money, and now he even dares to rob Zuo Xiang's congratulatory gifts, which shows that he is not an ordinary greedy for money. ”
"Uncle, what the hell do you mean?"
Yang Xing frowned, unable to understand what Sima You was talking about. Yan Liang is sure to be greedy for money, he even dares to rob Zuo Xiang's congratulatory gifts for money, this is no longer ordinary greed for money, it is completely a money obsession.
"Hey......"
Sima You sighed, he was simply disappointed in his nephew. I only know how to fight and rush, and I don't know anything about the art of war and strategy. How can I take on great responsibilities in the future?
"Since he is a new recruit to the Northern Army, he naturally won't have much loyalty to Xiao Yu. And he still regards money as his life, since this is the case, then simply give him more! ”
"Uncle, you're crazy......"
Fortunately, Yang Xing was not an idiot after all, and he still figured out Sima You's intentions.
"Uncle, do you want to buy Yan Liang?"
"On the battlefield that day, you also saw that this Yan Zhaowu was a tiger general. The five hundred iron horsemen under his command are even more fierce and unforged, if they can be included in the command, not only will our strength increase greatly, but also Xiao Yu will lose a sharp claw. ”
Sima You nodded and said.
"Go and prepare the heavy gifts. I'll write an invitation and send it to Yan Liang's mansion. ”
"Yes~"
