Chapter 48: Betrayal (II)

It's only been a year and a half, a year and a half! Facing the bonfire, his nostrils were filled with the smell of barbecue, but Chen Liang, who joined the army, felt that the night wind was suddenly cold to the bone.

Indeed, Xue Xue's previous judgment was right. Zhu Butcher will not take the initiative to expand the war in the short term. If anyone stands in the position of Zhu Butcher, I'm afraid they won't use the sword soldiers!

Why did he use his sword again? In just one and a half years, he made Xue Xue and the Royal Forest Army under his command lose their fighting spirit. If it drags on for another three or five years, I am afraid that without his Northern Expedition, under the account of Emperor Dayuan, there will be no one who is loyal and reliable! Since he can watch the Great Yuan Dynasty fall by himself without doing anything, what else is he bothering to do?

And what Zhu Butcher relied on was actually the reader who covered his nose when he mentioned it. A sheep produces two and a half catties of wool every year, one hundred and fifty yuan, and ten sheep is one thousand five hundred yuan, consistent and half. 1,000 sheep is 150 guan, and the full color of Huaiyang Tongbao is equivalent to 300 guan money. The generalissimo has been supplemented several times, and the annual salary of the prime minister of the dynasty is only 300 yuan, of which 30% must be converted into rice grain to pay.

Looking at the nearby large grasslands, among the generals here, who doesn't have a thousand sheep under his name? In other words, under the condition that both parties are not corrupt and bribe-taking, Xue Xue and the gang of guys around him each earn benefits from Zhu Butcher every year, which is equivalent to that of Prime Minister Dayuan! No wonder they don't want to continue to fight with Zhu Butcher! In the case of Chen Liang himself, in the face of such a big gold master, I am afraid that he will not have the courage to raise the knife again!

"Xilu Gong is happy in the empty version, Han Zuke is in the second Ying, Wenjun unravels the cloth and is splendid, just like taking the high cover and untying the calf's nose, and the official is famous, all caused by money. The empty version is empty, but the situation is real; Although there are few wins, it is so intimate" The next moment, in the mind of Chen Liang, who joined the army, a famous page that he had read when he was a teenager appeared. When he was studying, he originally thought it was sharp irony, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that this is the most reasonable thing in the world. (Note 1) 'Poor seven gentlemen, still think that they need to deal with some kind of equality fallacy, how do you know that they are simply not getting along with the God of Wealth?' So until death, I was confused. It's a pity that the sour people in the capital are still thinking about what to make the seven people worthy of enjoying the Confucian Temple! As everyone knows, carving a portrait in the Temple of Confucius, how can you get away from the hole square, the meat is good, Zhou Guo, Yuanbao The four great talents ran for it? ! (Note 2) The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt depressed. I only feel that life and death are lifeless, and wealth is in money. Before I knew it, I was drunk. Until the soldiers carried them to rest, they slapped their bellies and sang loudly: "The army has no wealth, and the soldiers will not come; There is no reward for the army, and the soldiers do not go; If there is no Chinese person, it is better to return to the field; Although there are middle-aged people but no brothers, it is no different from wanting to fly without wings, and wanting to do without feet

In the next few days, he lived in the army and became Xuexue's pen and Qi. That Xuexue has always been close to her brother, loves the house and Wu, and does not hide big and small things from Chen Senjun. So much so that the latter came into contact with more and more secrets, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, and almost every night, he wanted to get drunk and never wake up again.

What kind of people are these?! On the surface, they are all the sons and nephews of the nobles of the dynasty, and they should be the most loyal to the Great Yuan Emperor. In fact, Chen Liang found that they had no loyalty to the imperial court at all. On the contrary, they were full of respect for the Zhu butchers in the south. Every time I mention it, I unconsciously say good things about the other party.

And in the entire Imperial Forest Army, from top to bottom, no one felt that there was anything wrong with this kind of respect, and no one even thought to hide it. Because everyone has long been tied up in one place, one loses and one prospers. If anyone comes forward to report it, it is guaranteed that they will be hostile to everyone who remains. In that case, he may have died in a skirmish before his report letter reached the center.

And it is very simple to create such a skirmish, and the Huai'an army on the other side of Weishui seems to be very willing to cooperate. Tong Guò Xuexue and others showed off intentionally or unintentionally, or it can also be understood as a threat, Chen Liang even knew that in the past two years, more than one general of the Royal Forest Army has "died martyrdom". And those who "died for the country" will be shrouded in horse leather and sent back to the capital to be mourned by the imperial court. As for their share of the Imperial Guards during their lifetime, they were all given to other companions to fulfill his reputation for loyalty.

According to this method, of course, it is easy to make the "Royal Forest Army" go up and down, and there is no longer the slightest noise. What's more, there is still Hama in the court covering up Xuexue. And Xue Xue himself, relying on his brother Hama's obscenity, is not all about his old brother Hama's obscenity. He also has his own skills, as well as a whole set of unique means of controlling his command.

His unique skill is that he can trust each other with Zhu Butcher's side, and can bargain with that side without fear. And his means of control is to create countless people with the same or similar experience as himself, and use them as henchmen, and then control the overall situation.

After a few days of observation, Chen Liang found that Xue Xue had a smooth communication channel with Zhu Butcher, which was simply a matter of lice on a bald head. Almost all of his henchmen who were entrusted with important tasks had been prisoners of the Huai'an army, which is also a visible fact. The red-faced Qianhu and the black-faced Qianhu have been captured by the Huai'an army, the bearded deputy Qianhu has been captured by the Huai'an army, and the colored Qianhu broke his leg after falling off the horse. As for the guy who looked more horizontal than vertical, he was actually captured more than once. Every time he can return safely, according to his own boasting, he also fights with his tongues, and successfully makes Zhu Butcher beat his ransom by 8% from the second time!

One by one, one by one, such a bizarre thing that is more bizarre than the script, actually happened under the nose of Tai Buda, who is in charge of the power of the whole world, if it is too unnoticed, who will believe it? Since he is pretending to be deaf and dumb even if he is too unflowered, who else has the courage to reach out and expose the shady curtain behind this?

Chen Liang's biggest advantage is that he is timid, so he was shocked when he first came into contact with shady scenes for a day or two. On the third day, the shock quickly turned to resentment and helplessness. Soon, the resentment and helplessness in his heart slowly disappeared, and it was replaced by a blank slate. Close your eyes slightly as if your colleagues don't care about you, and go with the flow.

This morning, Chen Liang was sitting at his desk cleaning up the account books for Xuexue. Suddenly, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Looking up sharply, he happened to see the body of the deputy Wanhu Burigud, which was wider than the vertical.

"Lord Wanhu is looking for General Xuexue, he just drank some wine and is resting in the back tent! If he is in a hurry, the subordinate can send someone to wake him up. Chen Liang, who joined the army, did not dare to slack off, put down his abacus, and took the initiative to salute.

"Don't bother, Xiucai!" Although Na Buzhigud looked fierce, he was a straight man, and he arched his hand and responded very politely, "I will come and tell General Sù Xuexue, and the matter is resolved satisfactorily." Chakhan Timur and Li Siqi were very acquainted, and they took the initiative to withdraw from the vicinity of Shanzhou without waiting for the general order to arrive. That Chen Zhishan didn't have to pay attention to the people, and after picking up the trapped two brigades and horses, he quickly withdrew to the south of the Yellow River! (Note 3) "Whew! Others said it lightly, but after Chen Liang heard it, he felt that the top of his head was instantly relieved. If Chakhan Timur and Li Siqi are willing to give in, the contradiction between Tuhuan Timur and Hama will not be intensified immediately. Then he himself will be able to spend a few more days in the army, and he will not have to face the difficult choice at the end.

However, those who are unsatisfactory in life are eight out of ten (9) 9. Next, Bříggood's words caused him to fall into the ice cave again. However, the Huai'an Army did not want to suffer in vain, Chen Zhishan said that he would let Lord Xuexue cross the river and go to the Sixth Army for a banquet. There is a business, and he wants to make it clear with Lord Xuexue in person! ”

"Huh?" Chen Liang put his hands on the table, trying to keep himself calm, "Chen Zhishan is simply too deceitful!" What kind of deal, dare to ask the general, do you ever know? ”

"How dare I talk about this?" Burigood grinned and looked innocent, "People are willing to withdraw their troops and say that they will continue to trade, which is enough to save face." The rest of the matter can only be done by General Xuexue to cross the river to interview the messenger of General Zhu. I'm a little errand boy running underneath, how dare I ask too clearly?! (Note 4) "You don't know, do you wonder?" Chen Liang was in his stomach, muttering secretly. There was a very understanding expression on his face, "Ah, that's right. In that case, General Burigood, please wait a moment. Humble position, I will personally call General Xuexue! ”

"No need, no need!" Břígood hurried back to drink with his companions, waved his hand, and continued to whisper to him. "Actually, they just want to go through the motions. Nothing dangerous. The two countries are at war, and they don't kill them. What's more, the Zhu butcher is known as benevolent. ”

As he spoke, he quickly looked to both sides, poked his head into Chen Liang's ear, and quietly added in an extremely low voice, "I don't have to hide this from you, and I can't hide it from you." That Zhu butcher ate the gun seeds for nothing, so he has to find an unlucky ghost to vent, right? I heard that he found the Pu family in Quanzhou! Do you know, it is the Pu family who sold Zhao Song to Dayuan back then, the descendant of Pu Shougeng, a man of color eyes. They want to ask General Xue Xue to help run the operation, so that the imperial court can stand by and watch this battle! ”
