Chapter 368: Helpless
"General, there is a person outside the camp who calls himself Xu Huai who asks to see you."
After Yuan Guangping heard the guard's report, he frowned and said, "Let him in." ”
Xu Huai walked on the road in the barracks, and his heart was up and down.
The first thing he did when he returned to Zhongli Mansion was to rush to the barracks, although he didn't want to see Yuan Guangping, but he had to face it. But in order to make Yuan Guangping unable to get angry with him, he had already made up a statement, and he didn't bring a single subordinate, and his clothes were dirty, making him look like he was running for his life in embarrassment.
"General Yuan, something is wrong......" When Xu Huai saw Yuan Guangping, he immediately groveled, and fell to the ground crying.
Although Yuan Guangping didn't know which one Xu Huai made, he thought that Xu Huai probably wanted to go back to the horse, so he didn't bother to support him, and looked at him with a sneer, but he really wanted to see if Xu Huai could move him!
But halfway through listening to Xu Huai, Yuan Guangping couldn't laugh.
Lei Chiwei is Yuan Guangping sent out to recruit troops and horses, collect money and scrape the right-hand man, although he has many cronies like this, but Lei Chiwei is different, he can not only be self-sufficient, but also pay the most military salaries, now Lei Chiwei has more than 300 people, as long as he raises one or two hundred, he can rob some small towns, and rob everything that can be robbed, and when the situation is big, he will come forward to recruit An, so that the money is obtained, and the people are also obtained, there is no more cost-effective than this!
In order to make things look seamless, Yuan Guangping not only sent Lei Chiwei here to make a name for himself before he was transferred, but also bought a lot of officials to report to them, and when he was transferred here, Lei Chiwei already had some prestige in the nearby ten miles and eight towns, and no one could suspect him!
But now, it's just for them to rob the caravan escorted by fifty people, Xu Huai actually came back and said that the whole army was destroyed, if this is not nonsense, then his losses are really too great!
"Report ......" was in Yuan Guangping's half-believing, and suddenly the guards came to report that Lei Chiwei was coming!
"What's going on?" Yuan Guangping was shocked when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Xu Huai, who was also shocked, and his eyes immediately narrowed, and he said to the guard: "Pass him in." ”
"Yes!" The guards bowed and retreated, and after a while, they led a man into the hall, looking at his rugged face, who else could there be besides Lei Chiwei!
"You ......" As soon as Xu Huai opened his mouth, he felt that Yuan Guangping looked at him coldly, and he was so frightened that he immediately stopped talking.
Without waiting for Yuan Guangping to ask, Lei Chiwei suddenly knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "I am incompetent and incompetent, and I can't complete the task ordered by the general, please punish the general!" ”
Yuan Guangping stood up in shock, glared at Lei Chiwei angrily and said, "You are really defeated!" ”
Lei Chiwei couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to say half a word.
Yuan Guangping sat upside down in his chair and said in a cold tone: "How many casualties?" ”
"The casualties are only forty, but ......" Lei Chiwei paused, then pressed his head even lower, and continued: "Except for the original men, the rest ...... They all fled, and more than thirty partners returned to the village first, and robbed all the more than 600 pieces of silver that had been collected recently......"
"You!" Yuan Guangping glared at Lei Chiwei, wanting to say something, but he couldn't scold when the words came to his mouth, he also knew that the people recruited from the ruffians could only bully and bully the common people, and they were about to encounter hard stubble, which was faster than anyone else.
But if on the contrary, if Lei Chiwei can lead them to win a tough battle, his combat power will inevitably be doubled, and his people will be more loyal, and he can also come in handy after recruiting him in the future.
"Why did you lose?" Now Yuan Guangping wants to know this the most, although he has already learned from Xu Huai's mouth, but he thinks that Lei Chiwei should not be so stupid!
Lei Chiwei suddenly glanced at Xu Huai at this time, how could Yuan Guangping not know his worries, and immediately coughed lightly and told Xu Huai to retreat.
Xu Huai's heart was terrible, he thought that Lei Chiwei was certain to die, but he didn't expect to let him escape back, and I don't know how this guy will shirk his responsibility later, but he thinks that he is not wrong, after all, we gave money, and now things are messed up, Lao Tzu does not ask you for horses It is already enough to give you face, if you still want to kick your nose in the face, it is a big deal to make trouble to the little prince.
As soon as Xu Huai left, Lei Chiwei began to explain.
“…… That's the thing, it's the lowly who misestimated the enemy and treated them as ordinary caravan guards, who ever thought that after the fight, the lowly felt that even if they were the elite of the army, they might not be able to defeat them! ”
Yuan Guangping was speechless for a long time, he knew that Lei Chiwei didn't like to grow the ambition of others, he could say this, the other party must not be simple!
"Even so, you're careless! They should retreat as soon as the opponent sets up a circle, and then follow with a bow and crossbow, and within one night, they will surely be defeated without a fight! But you, you...... I ...... on weekdays."
Yuan Guangping resisted the urge to scold his mother again, and calmed down and said: "This matter should not be publicized, you take the brothers to hide first, and then find a few people to go to the government to report the news, and then say that the Yiyuan caravan was looted by robbers, and most of the escorts were killed and injured. ”
Lei Chiwei immediately understood when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists and was about to leave, when suddenly, the guard came in and reported: "Report to the general, the master of the government is here!" ”
"What?" Yuan Guangping and Lei Chiwei were both stunned, and the two looked at each other, both feeling that this matter was like the recent rumor that Cao Cao Cao had arrived.
"Oh, General Yuan, General Yuan, oops, hahaha......" Before the people arrived, the sound came first, and after a while, Zhongli Mansion ordered Liang Pi to be inferior to the hall, and smiled towards Yuan Guangping and congratulated: "Hehe, I didn't expect that General Yuan had only arrived in Zhongli not long ago, and he made such a great achievement, killing the robbers who had disturbed my Zhongli for two years without leaving a piece of armor, it was really happy, hahaha......"
"This ......" Yuan Guangping was dumbfounded, and couldn't figure out which one Liang Pi was singing?
Lei Chiwei suddenly thought of the strange behavior of the art garden caravan after hearing these words, and suddenly, he suddenly woke up, and secretly said that it was not good, but at this moment he couldn't remind Yuan Guangping!
Liang Pi suddenly grabbed Yuan Guangping's hand at this time, slapped it twice, and said in a low voice: "However, why didn't the general notify the official when he sent troops?" Of course, in order to save dozens of lives in the caravan, the general is also in charge, and I will definitely ask for credit for the general! ”
Yuan Guangping frowned, in this short period of time, he had already guessed the whole story, and he couldn't help but start to secretly scold the shrewdness of the caravan guards, and at the same time he couldn't wait to tear this Liang Pi apart, this person seemed to be congratulating, and seemed to be blaming, in fact, he just wanted to take credit for himself, and being dragged back by such a person, Yuan Guangping really couldn't send the palace guards to take the art garden caravan!
……
"I want to take us under the knife, unless this neighborhood has been peaceful, but as soon as I entered Zhongli Mansion, I heard that this place is not very peaceful, and there are often robbers, and it is precisely because of this that I choose to go on the road in bad weather that even robbers will be disgusted with, but I was almost affected by you and others, in the end, it was this girl who helped you solve the trouble, how should you thank me?"
Cao Luorong sat in a restaurant in Shansang County, not caring about the eyes of others, picking up the sea bowl and drinking it all. At the same time, he hiccuped very reservedly, pulled up his sleeves to wipe his mouth, patted his belly, and cocked Erlang's legs, thinking that this posture was really cool, no wonder the evil eyes always liked to be cocked like this.
Zhong Xiaoshi and the others were stared at by Cao Luorong with a smile, and they all felt creepy in their hearts, but as a last resort, Zhong Xiaoshi still put on a look of admiration, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Cao Niangzi for your advice, otherwise I am afraid that I will really be wanted by the government!" As for thanks, although we have some money on us, they are all entangled on the road, otherwise, when we tell the sect leader about this, I think the sect leader will personally thank Cao Niangzi. ”
Cao Luorong snorted coldly when she heard this, just when everyone thought she was troublesome and was about to ask for benefits directly, they saw her disdainful and said, "What if he doesn't see me?" ”
"This ......" Zhong Xiaoshi and the others were speechless for a moment, secretly thinking that it was his business if the sect leader couldn't see you, could it be that he didn't see you, and you still wanted us to wait for a knife to force him to see you? (To be continued.) )
