When Song Qi heard Kim Jong-lei asking for advice from the generals, he knew that he wanted to accept Ximen Liu's salary. He is a marshal of the three armed forces, and he can make decisions in everything, and now he is asking the generals about this matter, which is nothing more than covering up people's eyes and ears and turning his personal greed into everyone's greed. For example, a person is in a hurry and asks others: Brother, I am in a hurry, should I go to the thatched house? How would others answer?

Which of the generals will care about Mingyu's father and son? When they heard that Simon Liu was going to repay more than 10 million taels of silver, their eyes lit up.

Everyone chattered and said:

"Fighting the Chu army has already consumed a lot of our food and grass salaries. Can you still do not want the money that comes to your door? ”

"At present, the delivery of grain, grass and military salaries can no longer keep up with the speed of our march, and some troops have not been paid for two months. The money sent to the door was just to reissue the salaries to the soldiers and soldiers, and at the same time to reward the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions. ”

"Yes, besides, our army will now divide the troops into two routes, and the money, food, and silver will be more."

"Our army is a righteous army, and it has never committed any crimes, and it is a matter of course to protect merchants. Now there are more than 10 million taels of silver in the income, why not? ”

Jin Zhenglei listened, nodded frequently, and after muttering for a long time, he said to Song Qi Mingyu Zhengse: "General Mingyu, General Song, your hardships can be understood, please also understand the hardships of this commander." It is a fact that the army is short of food and salary, and the salary and silver sent by Ximen Liu can indeed help us solve our urgent needs. Let's put the public before the private, solve the immediate matter first, and then let's think about the future in the long run. ”

Bi Fuan listened, straightened up, and glanced at Song Qimingyu with a smug face.

Song Qi was furious when he heard this, but he couldn't attack the marshal, so he had to turn around and walk out of the hall stupidly. When passing by Bi Fu'an, who was kneeling on the ground, Song Qi looked down at the latter with angry eyes, lowered his voice and said to him menacingly: "Go back and tell Ximen Liu that you can buy other people's protection with money, but you can't buy my protection." ”

The smile on Bi Fu'an's face froze, showing a look of horror.

Mingyu's face was full of anger, and he turned around and followed, and when he passed by Bi Fu'an, he raised his foot and kicked him, kicking him to the ground with a muffled sound.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xue was also silent, and then followed.

Kim Zhenglei was very embarrassed to watch the three of them leave angrily, he rubbed his face with his hands, and then greeted Bi Fuan with a pleasant face.

Song Qi came out of the general's mansion, came to the side of the horse-tied pile in three steps and two steps, took off the reins from the pile, flew on the horse, and ran out of the city angrily, Mingyu Lingxue involuntarily got on the horse and followed closely behind. After running out of the city for a while, several horses gradually slowed down, and Mingyu Lingxue also caught up from behind, and the three horses walked together.

Song Qi scolded and said foully: "He's numb, this Ximen Liu is too cunning, taking other people's money to save his life!" ”

"I really didn't expect Kim Jong-lei to be such a person!" Mingyu also said hatefully: "For the sake of a few million taels of silver, he disregards morality, does not distinguish between black and white, and is in the company of villains, what is the difference between his behavior and villains!" ”

Ling Xue looked at the two of them, and saw that the two of them were still angry, so she put her horse in front of them and comforted, "Sister Mingyu, Brother Song, we don't need to be angry with them. After breaking through Duo'an City, we were the first to rush into Ximen Liu's house and slaughter him! Let him spend all this money in vain, and rejoice in vain! ”

Song Qi Mingyu heard this and felt reasonable, so he nodded silently, and the complexion on his face slowly eased.

The next day, the army marched out of Xuanwu County and marched towards Do'an Province. Song Qiming, Yu Lingxue, and also accompanied the Chinese army in disguise.

Every time he passed through a town, Kim had to rearrange the guards. When the army arrived at the Heavenly Wolf Pass, all the captains appointed by Song Qi to defend the city were replaced, and the lowest rank of the guards in all the towns was junior general.

The lieutenants were annoyed and dissatisfied. They all obtained such positions by their own merits, but the generals who took over in the back were completely following the ass of others to pick up ready-made fruits.

Some lieutenants complained to Song Qi in private. Song Qi's own position is difficult to protect, where can he keep the position of his original subordinates? He could only comfort everyone helplessly: "Didn't I say before that after a while, everyone will return to the battlefield and make new contributions." Now that everyone has the opportunity to show their faces in front of the marshal, isn't it a good thing to celebrate. ”

Everyone also knew Song Qi's difficulties, so they had to swallow their anger.

Although Kim Jong-lei removed all the captains appointed by Song Qi to defend the city, he still rewarded and promoted them according to Song Qi's proposal, of course, those promotions were not completely in place. Although Kim Jong-lei did not reward and promote Song Qi himself, he still attached great importance to Song Qi, a little general, and asked Song Qi whenever he encountered an incurable disease. Although Song Qi's title is only a small general, everyone can see that his importance in front of Kim Jong-lei is even more important than that of a general.

Some people don't understand why Marshal Jin promoted Song Qi's subordinates to big generals and small generals, why has Song Qi never been promoted?

Some people gradually believed Kim Jong-lei's words, maybe Song Qi's position really needs the emperor to be promoted. What position should it be? Marshal? Prince?

The army left the Sky Wolf Pass and continued to move forward. Along the way, he received good news from the pioneer general Kim Jae-do: "Our army has taken Yuedu County!" "Our army has taken the Ink Elephant Pass!" "Our army has taken the Tea Pass!" "Our army has reached the third level of Lianke and has arrived under the city of Duo'an!"

The army entered the core hinterland of the country too smoothly, and Song Qi felt incredible: "The country is the strongest country today, with a vast territory, tens of millions of people, thousands of generals, and millions of soldiers, how can it be so vulnerable?" So soon let us hit Do'an? ”

"Brother Song, Weiguo is indeed the strongest country in the world, but this is only once. Now it's been weakened by you. The most dangerous counties in the country, such as Xuanwu County, Iron Horse Pass, and Sky Wolf Pass, have all been taken down by you. The most powerful generals of the Patriotic Empire, such as Du Min, Hidden Dragon, and Quan Dou, have all been dealt with by you. The most capable people in the country, such as Qiu Erji and Xuandeng Dao, have all been driven away by you. What other combat strength does the Patriotic Nation have? Mingyu glanced at Song Qi approvingly, and then said with some indignation, "Kim Jae-do completely picked up your advantage." Also, the siege weapons he used, such as cloud carts, ballistae, and stone throwing carts, were all made by you or captured by you. He's just sweeping the leaves you blow off and picking up the fruits you smash. ”

Song Qi listened to Mingyu's words, and replied with some pride in his heart, he sighed: "I don't feel how powerful Jin Zaidao is, but I feel that the combat effectiveness of Wei Guo is too weak, such a big country, there are only three capable people such as Du Min, Hidden Dragon, and Quan Dou?" ”

Mingyu gestured with his hand and explained: "It's like a building, no matter how big it is, it has only one beam and only two pillars. If either of these two pillars falls, the edifice is in danger of collapsing. ”

"Sister Mingyu is right!" Ling Xue said with a smile, "Great Xia is about to fall, and it is difficult to support it alone!" ”

Song Qi nodded, and then fell into a daze: "What about the tens of millions of people who defend the country?" Since ancient times, isn't it said that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband? ”

"That's just a slogan shouted by those in power." Ling Xue squinted her eyes and looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully, "For the people, where they can settle down and work, there is their home. It's like sheep, where there is grass, there is a place for grazing. The Xia Dynasty fell, and the people of the Xia Dynasty naturally became the people of the Shang Dynasty; The Shang Dynasty fell, and the people of the Shang Dynasty naturally became the people of the Zhou Dynasty. If you look at the destruction of the country in the previous generation, what common people will be martyred for the country? ”

Song Qi recalled the scene of the local people welcoming him every time he entered a Guan town, and slowly understood that the current people can be said to be the remnants of ****, but the dynasties in the middle have changed more or less? (To be continued.) )
