Chapter 237: Rising to the Top
At the same time, at the same time, Fang Guangchen, the few old ministers left in the first generation of Pingxi Palace, arrived quickly, showed his old face, pleaded for Lu Fatzi, and asked Wu Laohan to see the merits of Lu Fatzi, spare this fat man who betrayed the lord and seek glory, and give him a chance to atone for his sins, and make up for the loss of the leakage of firearms secrets in Pingxi Palace. At the same time, Fang Guangchen also pleaded for Lu Yu'er by the way, hoping that Wu Laohan would spare her life for the sake of Lu Yu'er being a rare filial daughter.
Fang Guangchen's face, of course Wu Laohan Jian, can't help but give it - in Pingxi Wangfu, the same generation as Wu Laohan, there are only three people left, Fang Guangchen, Liu Xuanchu and Wu Sanmei, Lu Fatzi is not only Liu Xuanchu's proud protΓ©gΓ© but also Fang Guangchen's intercession, Lu Yuer's life experience is so pitiful, and filial piety is so touching, no matter how vicious and ruthless Wu Laohan is ruthless, he is ruthless, and he is embarrassed to continue to be stubborn.
At the same time, Wu Yingjing, Zhang Zufa, Gao Dejie and Wang Jing and other generals of the Wu army, who have always had a good relationship with Lu Fatzi, also stood up and pleaded for Lu Fatzi together, and what surprised Lu Fatzi was that Wu Yingqi, who did not know the truth, hesitated again and again, and even stood up and said two good words for Lu Fatzi, hoping that Dad would see Lu Fatzi's previous merits and spare Lu Fatzi's life.
The two hundred and five sons have always said so, what else can Wu Lao Hanjian say? Therefore, Wu Lao Hanjian had no choice but to ask Lu Yu'er, asking if Lu Yu'er was willing to be guilty of the same crime as Lu Fatzi, be relieved of all official positions together, demoted to slavery, and go to Ji Ji Mountain to do hard labor for life?
How to answer, I believe there is no need to go into detail, in short, Lu Fatzi finally picked up a dog's life with this, and was exempted from the death penalty in the sigh of regret from the mite Qingqin mission and the thin eyeliner, and was dismissed from all civil and military positions, and used as hard labor to hope that Ji Jishan would be a slave for life! However, after the news spread, the most suspicious Shang Lao Han Jian, Yue Le and Shang Zhixin naturally vomited blood, they jumped into the Yellow River this time, and they could not clear the suspicion of monopolizing the secrets of Wu's firearms and rebelling.
However, there are also priorities in things, for Kang Mazi, whether Shang Lao Han and Yue Le were wronged is not particularly important now, the most important thing is whether the Qing Dynasty can draw troops from the Huguang battlefield to the south. However, what made the old man Kabula, the head of the annihilation sent by Kang Mazi, restless, was that after watching the situation for a long time, the Wu army, which had been stable for a long time, actually recruited civilian ships and sailors in a big way, and constantly sent scout ships to explore the hydrology of the Yangtze River and familiarize themselves with the waterway of crossing the river - what is this going to do? Go on the scamp? Add insult to injury? Or are you going to fish in troubled waters?
Also frightened, there were most of the generals of the Qing army in Hanyang who confronted the Wu army in Wuchang across the river, and these Qing army generals who were completely frightened by the Wu army also rushed to Tuhai's tent one after another, asking Tuhai to strengthen his vigilance and formulate countermeasures in order to prevent the Wu army from crossing the river and attacking! In addition, the preparation of ships, ordnance, and the gathering of troops for the southward march to Fujian must also be stopped immediately!
What surprised these Qing army generals was that after hearing the news, Tuhai, as the commander of the whole army, was not only not frightened, but his face was happy, and his limping speed with his crutches was much brisker. In addition, there is Tuhai's confidant Zhou Peigong, who is also clasping his palms and chanting Buddha, with a smile on his face, "Thank God, Wu Sangui's old thief is really a mouse's eye, and it is really a mouse's eye, my emperor is blessed, my emperor is blessed!" β
"Bold Zhou Chang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Prince Kang Jieshu, who happened to hear Zhou Peigong's muttering, was furious and scolded: "Wu Gou recruited sailors from civilian ships, and it was clear that he wanted to cross the river and attack, but you still dare to say that it was my emperor Hongfu Qitian?" What do you mean? β
"Ah, did you hear it, lord?" Zhou Peigong was startled, quickly knelt down on his knees, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't blame the prince, the slave is also happy, he has seen through the eyes of Wu Sangui's old thief, and he has also seen through Wu Sangui's old thief's absolute no intention of crossing the river to attack, and he is the first rat at both ends of Geng Jingzhong's dog thief's rebellion, so he excitedly sighed that my emperor is blessed with all his might." β
"What do you mean by that?" Jie Shu asked confusedly.
"Lord Wang, Pei Gong is right, Wu Sangui's old thief doesn't do this, that's the most terrifying." Tu Hai took over the conversation and explained for his henchmen: "If Wu Sangui's old thief goes south to Hengzhou, or does not move his troops and does not make any preparations, it will be truly terrifying. Because the current situation is here, Geng Jingzhong's dog thieves rebelled, and the imperial court urgently needed to mobilize the Huguang army to go south to Fujian to quell the rebellion. β
"But now, Wu Sangui's old thief not only did not do this, but instead recruited civilian sailors and bluffed, which proved that he did not have the determination to forcibly cross the river." Zhou Peigong added excitedly: "Now our Huguang army has not divided its troops, and the naval division still has an absolute advantage over the water surface, and Wu Sangui's old thief has no chance of winning by storming and crossing the river!" Therefore, the slave is sure that Wu Sangui has absolutely no plan to attack Hanyang in the short term, and his purpose is just to contain our Huguang army and prevent us from dividing our troops! β
"Really? Do you really think so? Jie Shu asked suspiciously.
"No accidents!" Zhou Peigong replied categorically and proudly, and said with a smile: "And the slave dares to speculate, after hearing this news, my emperor will inevitably breathe a sigh of relief, and be less worried about the war situation in Huguang." β
The crow's mouth of Zhou Peigong, the unlucky man who had been smothered by Lu Fatzi, finally worked out once, and after the news that Wu Jun had crossed the Yangtze River in a posture of 600 miles was sent back to the capital, Kang Mazi, who was fidgeting in the Forbidden City, really breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to the applause, Kang Mazi hurriedly used six hundred li to expedite the promulgation of two holy decrees one after another, the first holy decree to the old man Kabula, so that he could try to test Wu Laohan's price code to see what conditions Wu Laohan had to put forward before he was willing to give up his support for Geng Jingzhong and sign a permanent non-aggression agreement with the Qing court?
Kang Mazi's second holy decree was to Tuhai, asking Tuhai to send a subordinate to Beijing to report on his work, and repeatedly emphasized that the people who came must be familiar with the Huguang battle situation, and in addition, they had to bring the defense map of the enemy and us on the Huguang battlefield for Kang Mazi's reference when formulating strategies. And after hearing Kang Mazi's will, Tuhai and Zhou Peigong, the super platinum partner of Mites, immediately understood in their hearts - Kang Mazi's heart was already seriously inclined to send troops from the Huguang battlefield to the south to quell the rebellion.
Of course, it is impossible for Tu Hai not to carry out Kang Mazi's will, and the representative who went to Beijing to report on his work in place of himself is none other than Zhou Peigong, Tu Hai's most trusted and favored one. It's just that what Tu Hai doesn't know is that Zhou Peigong, who is proud of his talent but has been covered by the brilliance of his sworn enemy Lu Fatzi, has actually been waiting for such an opportunity and waiting for such a day! Therefore, after receiving Tuhai's order, Zhou Peigong just pretended to excuse himself a little, and immediately agreed, and then took the troops of both sides of the Huguang battlefield to deploy the map, led his brother Zhou Yimin and a few henchmen to ride on a fast horse, regardless of the continuous summer rain, and set foot on the road to the capital north that night.
"Cousin, you don't need to go so fast, do you?" After being led north by Zhou Peigong overnight, although Zhou Yimin didn't dare to complain, he also cautiously suggested: "I heard that the emperor did not ask us when to arrive in Beijing in his will, the rain in Huguang is so heavy during this time, cousin, you are in a hurry overnight, what if you accidentally get damaged by the night rain?" β
"You know what?" Without outsiders present, Zhou Peigong didn't have many scruples, and laughed in the wind and rain and said: "My opportunity to show my strength has finally come!" I just want to fly to the Forbidden City immediately, fly in front of the master, show my talent to the master, and show my strategy to the master! Let everyone in the world know my Zhou Peigong's name, and everyone knows that my Zhou Peigong's civil and military strategy is a thousand times and ten thousand times that of his Lu Yifeng's dog thief! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Under the excitement and anticipation, Zhou Peigong's team, which was speeding all the way, rushed from Wuchang to the capital in only half a month, but Kang Mazi was more anxious than Zhou Peigong, Zhou Peigong arrived in the capital on the afternoon of July 21 to report to the officials, and was summoned by Kang Mazi at noon on July 22, and was summoned in the south study of Kang Mazi's new office, in front of many of Kang Mazi's cronies.
"Slave Zhou Peigong, knock to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Zhou Peigong, who was wearing a brand-new seven-grade official uniform, patted his horseshoe sleeves in a chic manner, knelt down on his knees, and knocked his head three times, trying to leave a new good impression on Kang Mazi.
"Why are you again?" Kang Mazi's rather impatient tone suddenly made Zhou Peigong's heart cold, "What is Tuhai for?" I asked him to send a competent person to Beijing to report on his behalf, why did he send you? β
"Minions ......." Zhou Peigong made a bitter face, and only replied after a while: "Back to the master, Tuzhongtang sent a slave to go to Beijing to report on his work, because since Tuzhongtang replaced the thief Aobai to take over the whole army, the slave has been serving as an enshriner (secretary) by Tuzhongtang's side, and from beginning to end, he witnessed the life-and-death struggle between my Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and the Wu rebel thief army, and also personally experienced nearly 100 bloody battles in Guizhou, Biyuan and Wuchang, and was familiar with the enemy situation and the situation of our army, so Tuzhongtang in order to facilitate the master to inquire about the front-line military situation, Only then did he send the servants to the capital to report on his behalf. β
"No wonder we lost five provinces and one government in the southwest in a row." Suo Etu interjected in a dark voice. Before the words fell, there was already a ridicule in the south study, and Zhou Peigong's face was like ashes, knowing that Suo Etu must still remember the grudge back then, and his remaining anger towards himself was still gone, and at the same time, Zhou Peigong's resentment towards Lu Fat Man was inevitably three points more - it was you, the dog fat man, who harmed Lao Tzu like this!
"Forget it, let's do it first." Kang Mazi interrupted everyone's ridicule very impatiently, and did not reward Zhou Pei's fairness, so he directly ordered: "Submit the troop deployment map of the Huguang battlefield, and by the way, give a general introduction to all the adults." β
"Pierce." Zhou Peigong hurriedly kowtowed and agreed, picked up the Huguang battlefield garrison map that he had been holding in his arms, raised his hands above his head, and his own eunuch came up and handed it to Kang Mazi. Zhou Peigong cleared his throat again, tried to keep his composure and said: "Master Qiqi, my lords, my Qing army is currently deployed in the Huguang battlefield with about 185,000 troops, of which 35,000 are stationed in Jingzhou, under the command of Prince Jian Rabu and Belle Shangshan; There were about 60,000 troops on the front line of Nanchang Jiujiang, led by Beizi Zhangtai and Dong Weiguo, the governor of Jiangxi; The remaining water infantry cavalry was about 90,000 people, stationed in Hanyang and Huangzhou, and confronted the main force of Wu thieves across the river, and the main generals were Tuhai Tu Zhongtang, Governor Cai Yurong, Bel Chani and Yang Jie, the governor of the Yangtze River Naval Division. β
"On the Wu thief's side, the strength is about 120,000 people, of which about 20,000 are stationed in Lizhou and Songzi. There were about 30,000 thieves stationed in Changsha Yuezhou, including 20,000 infantry cavalry of the thief general Wu Yingjing and 10,000 new sailors of Dongting Lake, led by the thief general Du Hui and the traitorous generals Lin Xingzhu and Li Guodong. The remaining army of about 70,000 troops, personally commanded by Wu Sangui's old thief, was stationed in Wuchang, and at the same time confronted our Hanyang army and Jiujiang army. β
"In addition, Wu thieves also have about 30,000 troops stationed in Hengzhou, southern Changsha and Binzhou, and the thief general Wei Pu ......."
"Wait!" Kang Mazi rudely interrupted Zhou Peigong and shouted: "Wait, I ask you, what did you just say, Wu Sangui's old thief's 70,000 troops confronted me at the same time in Daqing, Huguang and Jiangxi? In this way, the 70,000 main forces of Wu Sangui's old thief have restrained my 150,000 main forces of the Qing Dynasty? β
"Back to my master, that's true." Zhou Peigong replied stubbornly.
"Bastard!" Kang Mazi was furious, and roared: "Your army is twice as large as Wu Sangui's old thief, and you still fight like this? Huguang Hanyang and Nanchang Jiujiang still have the face to report emergencies every day, and say every day that Wu Dog attacks from all sides and creates friction? β
"Back to the master, the situation ahead is very complicated, and it is not clear in a word." Zhou Peigong's forehead was on the ground, and he replied tremblingly: "But Wu Gou took the initiative to attack and caused friction between the two armies many times, which is indeed true, and the slave dared to speculate that Wu Sangui's old thief was probably in order to maintain morale, so he deliberately connived and instigated the thief soldiers to take the initiative to attack, creating friction and taking the opportunity to eat up my scattered army in the Qing Dynasty, but my Qing army was afraid of the peace treaty and did not dare to ......." β
"Shut up! I'm not asking you this! Kang Mazi was even more angry, slapped the table again, and shouted: "I'm asking you, why can Wu Sangui's old thief's 70,000 troops contain my 150,000 main force?" You waste, the army is obviously more than twice that of Wu Gou, why do you still complain every day, worry every day, and fear that Wu Gou will forcibly cross the Yangtze River? β
"Master, fighting a war is not a simple comparison of forces." Zhou Peigong cried bitterly, "In addition to the water division, the infantry and cavalry of the Wu dog thief army are far superior to our army, and the morale is high, the weapons and equipment are excellent, and there are powerful new firearms to suppress the formation, so in the field battle, it is difficult for our Qing army to take advantage of it." Also, it cannot be said that Wu Gou's main force of 70,000 people can contain our 150,000 main forces of the Qing Dynasty, and the thief army stationed in Changsha and Hengzhou and other places by Wu Gou actually contained our Jiangxi garrison of the Qing Dynasty. β
"What about the Jingzhou battlefield?" Kang Mazi shouted again and asked: "That place is far away from the main battlefield, why does the monk Rabu Shan obviously have the advantage of troops, and when the peace treaty was not signed before, why didn't he dare to enter the army and enter Wu Gou's remote hinterland?" Cut off the grain road between Wu Gou's main force and the rear of Yungui? Relieve the pressure on the main battlefield of Huguang? β
"It's over, my master doesn't know anything about military affairs at all." Zhou Peigong complained bitterly in his heart, and then he realized that the master of Kangxi, who had been blown by the mite masters to be rare in the sky and unparalleled on the ground, turned out to be a super straw bag militarily! In desperation, Zhou Peigong had no choice but to explain with a sad face, "Back to the master, the reason why Prince Jian and Shang Beile did not dare to enter the army before was because they not only had to confront the Wu dog thief army in Lizhou and Songzi, but also had to guard against the Wu dog thief army Tan Hongbu stationed in Yucheng. Otherwise, once they cross the river and are lured into the hinterland of Biyuan by Wu Gou, then Wu Dog Tan Hongbu will take the opportunity to go down the river, seize the important town of Jingzhou, and cut off Prince Jian's return route, then Prince Jian's army of more than 30,000 will be difficult to return to Jiangbei...... Finish. β
Zhou Peigong said a word, Kang Mazi's face was ugly, and in the end, Kang Mazi's hemp face simply turned iron blue, and the other Kang Mazi cronies in the south study also didn't dare to take a mouthful, for fear of touching the mold head and attracting Kang Mazi to transfer his anger, and although Zhou Peigong never dared to raise his head, he just heard Kang Mazi's heavy gasping sound like a cow's hum, and he obediently closed his mouth, and didn't dare to say that the Wu army was far superior to the Qing army in the field and the Wu army had long been not supplied by Yunnan and Guizhou - the current Wu army was in the rear of the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, grain has long been supplied by the new land occupied by Biyuan.
"It's all a bunch of rubbish!" Kang Mazi scolded viciously and put a step on himself. At the end, Kang Mazi asked again: "Then when you came to the capital, did Tuhai tell you that if I transfer troops from the Huguang battlefield and the Jiangxi battlefield, how many troops can be transferred at most under the condition of ensuring the safety of the Yangtze River defense line?" β
"That's the question." Zhou Peigong was even more worried, and after gritting his teeth, Zhou Peigong replied boldly: "Back to the master, Tuzhongtang has repeatedly discussed with the minions, thinking that the master can only draw troops of less than 20,000 from the Jiangxi battlefield at most, so that it is possible to ensure that the Jiangxi battlefield is foolproof." However, in the Huguang battlefield, if you want to ensure the safety of the Yangtze River defense line, even a single soldier cannot be deployed. β
"Zhou Peigong, you are too timid in the middle of the picture, right?" Mingzhu opened his mouth and asked, "There are 90,000 elite soldiers on the Huguang battlefield, why can't you still send a single soldier?" Didn't the Yangtze River Naval Division under his command have an absolute advantage on the surface battlefield? As long as the waterways are choked, why can't troops be drawn from land? β
"Back to Ming Zhongtang, if it is replaced by any opponent, Tu Zhongtang will dare to draw troops from Hanyang and Huangzhou." Zhou Peigong had an excellent memory, and he could distinguish Mingzhu's voice from his voice, and continued to reply with his forehead on the ground: "However, because the opponent is Wu Sangui's old thief, Tu Zhongtang does not dare to divide his troops. β
"Why?" Kang Mazi asked rudely: "Why can't Wu Sangui be an old thief?" β
"Because Wu Sangui is an old thief ......." Zhou Peigong hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "Because Wu Sangui's old thief has Lu Yifeng's dog thief, although Lu Yifeng's dog thief has a despicable character and shameless work, his attainments in Western studies are unrivaled in the world. In the battle of Wuchang, he was in the street battle, and he was able to temporarily create a batch of throwing bombs for Wu Sangui's old thief to restrain the warship, which severely damaged our army's naval division. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Peigong added tremblingly, "Master, Tuzhongtang is also loyal, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he didn't dare to draw troops from the Huguang battlefield." The Yangtze River is the only last line of defense that can contain the Wu dog thief army in the Qing Dynasty, and once Wu Dog successfully crosses the river, the Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty will have no danger to defend. β
mentioned the name of Lu Fatzi, Kang Mazi, who was already angry, was almost burned to death by his own anger, and couldn't help but think that when Lu Fatzi entered Beijing, it was this Zhou Peigong in front of him, Kong Sizhen, and Tu Hai who joined forces to frame Lu Fatzi in every way, slandered him in every way, and forced the pillar talent Lu Fatzi to Wu Laohan's side - at least Kang Mazi thought so. I couldn't help but have a thought again, kicking the Zhou Peigong in front of me to death!
"Master, the minion thinks that the matter of transferring troops from the Huguang battlefield can be put aside for the time being." Suo Etu spoke again and said cautiously: "And Huguang is too far away from the grassland, it is really not suitable to transfer north, the slave thinks that it is most appropriate to remove the immediate danger and transfer troops from Shaanxi and Gansu." β
"Huguang is too far from the grassland? Imminent danger? Obedient and listening, although Suo Etu said extremely vaguely, Kang Mazi also tried his best to block the imminent rebellion of Burni - and had to block it, but just hearing these two keywords, Zhou Peigong, who was talented and even far above Lu Fatzi, immediately moved in his heart, and a thought also came to his mind, "There are also people in Mongolia who are going to rebel!" Who is it? β
"That's all there is to it." Kang Mazi sighed, and commanded helplessly: "Draft an order, let Ezha divide 20,000 troops from Shaanxi and Gansu and hand them over to Moluo, that is, he must return to Zhangjiakou within a month, and he must not make Bulni the next step in the south." β
"It turned out to be Burnie, no wonder Prince An is so unlucky, with such a son-in-law, it is difficult for the master not to be suspicious." Zhou Peigong suddenly realized, and then, Zhou Peigong didn't know where a wave of courage came from, suddenly raised his head, and said loudly: "Master, there is no need to transfer troops from Shaanxi and Gansu, there are 30,000 elite soldiers available in the capital, why not use it?" β
"What did you say?" Kang Mazi was a flurry, and it was also at this time that Zhou Peigong finally saw the final master who had been absent for two years, but to Zhou Peigong's surprise, he had not seen him for two years, and Kang Mazi, who had just turned nineteen, was already ten years old, and even had crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.
"Bold! Without the permission of the master, you look up at the king without authorization, do you want to assassinate the king and kill the driver? Suo Etu, who hated Zhou Peigong so much that his eggs hurt, took the opportunity to attack and shouted: "Come on, take down this rude Zhou Peigong in front of the king!" β
"Piercing!" Cao Yin and Li Xu, who were guarding the door of the south study, agreed together, and rushed in together to pounce on Zhou Peigong. But at this moment, Kang Mazi suddenly shouted: "Stop! Let him go! β
"Pierce." Cao Yin and Li Xu agreed again and let go obediently. Zhou Peigong was frightened into a cold sweat, quickly kowtowed, and put his forehead on the ground again, "The slave is rude, the slave is guilty of capital crimes, please forgive the emperor." β
"Alright, I forgive you not guilty." Kang Mazi waved his hand and ordered: "Zhou Peigong, you raise your head." β
"Pierce." Zhou Peigong respectfully agreed, and carefully raised his face, which was definitely a hundred times more handsome than the fat man Lu.
"Zhou Peigong, I ask you." Kang Mazi slowed down his voice and asked, "You just said that I still have 30,000 elite soldiers available in the capital, and I ask you, where did these 30,000 elite soldiers come from?" β
"Go back to the master, just ask the master to make a holy decree." Zhou Peigong kowtowed vigorously, gritted his teeth and replied: "In the capital, the strong domestic slaves in the kings of Beijing, Beile, Beizi and the mansions of the banner lords are definitely more than 30,000 together!" If the master conscripts these house slaves under the next holy decree, and uses a noble general to lead them, with the slaves as their deputies, within three months, if the Burni rebellion cannot be quelled, the slaves will beg to wipe out the nine tribes! β
Hearing Zhou Peigong's words, Kang Mazi's numb eyes inevitably lit up, and Suo Etu said angrily: "Bold! Dog minion, you know what you're talking nonsense about? Use the slaves of the kings and Baylor to pacify the thieves, you can tell the story! β
"Back to Suo Zhongtang, the house slaves are also soldiers, and we are also full of people!" Zhou Peigong replied loudly: "I think when my Great Qing Dynasty Taizu Taizong used troops, the soldiers under his command, which one was not his domestic slave?" Isn't it still sweeping [***], leveling all directions, and unifying the Central Plains? Although these house slaves are pampered in the capital and rarely practice the battle array, the blood of the people on their bodies still exists, and the blood surname is still there, as long as their blood surname is aroused, why worry about Bullny Clown jumping off the beam? Wu Sangui's old slave is in chaos? β
"Nonsense......." Suo Etu wanted to refute, but Kang Mazi shouted, "Shut up, let me think about it carefully!" β
Suo Etu had no choice but to shut up, and Mingzhu, Zhang Ying and the others didn't dare to make a sound, and they all watched Kang Mazi knock on the table with his fingers, nervously calculating. And Zhou Peigong knew that life and death, honor and disgrace were in this move, so he plucked up the courage to say: "Master, it may be a way to transfer troops from Shaanxi and Gansu, but Shaanxi and Gansu are heavy, the people are fierce, the clown of the Wu thief rebels in the south jumped off the beam, and disturbed Hanzhong, and there is Geerdan in the northwest who is looking at Gansu and Ningxia. It's better to use the new army, after a war, not only will the turmoil be calmed, but the master will also have a tiger and wolf division available! β
Kang Mazi's constantly beating fingers suddenly stopped, and asked in a hoarse voice: "I can make this holy decree, but I don't have a military salary for you, what should you do?" β
"Slaves don't want military pay!" Zhou Peigong puffed up his chest and said loudly: "The slave doesn't want the master's military salary of one or two silver, and he can still pacify the grassland thieves!" β
Kang Mazi stared at Zhou Peigong with numb eyes, Zhou Peigong plucked up his courage and looked at Kang Mazi without even blinking his eyelids. After a long time, Kang Mazi said in a hoarse voice: "Pingshen, say, what are you going to do to quell the Burnie dog thieves for me?" β
(To be continued)
