In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the clouds and shone on the earth, a team of mule carts, about a dozen or so, came out of Zhujiazhuang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhu Biao rode a jujube red war horse, walked at the end of the convoy, and walked in the direction of Lijiazhuang. Immediately behind the mule cart

It is a team of soldiers of the Zhu family, about 300 people, all of them are full of energy, and the blades in their hands are shining in the sun, and they are shining. Riding a snow-white war horse, walking in front of this team of Zhujia soldiers was none other than Luan Tingyu, the gun teacher of Zhujiazhuang.

When the team of Zhujiazhuang arrived in front of Lijiazhuang, the officers and soldiers standing guard on the wall of Lijiazhuang asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhu Biao rode on horseback and replied loudly: "We are from Zhujiazhuang to deliver military rations and salaries to the officials and soldiers who are fighting against the Liangshan bandits. ”

When the officers and soldiers on the city wall heard the sound of carrying grain, their eyes lit up at once. He asked, "How many have you shipped?" ”

Zhu Biao glanced at the transport team behind him, and all the transport personnel shouted in unison: "Five hundred stones of grain, three hundred pieces of silver, and five live pigs." Although this shout is not earth-shattering, Zhu Biao believes that the officers and soldiers standing guard on the wall of Lijiazhuang probably heard it.

According to the news that the grimace Du Xing heard from Adjutant General Hua Huai, Zhu Biao knew that this official army had not been paid for half a year, and he had never smelled what pork tasted like. Now Zhu Biao sent them food, pork, and military salaries should be enough for the whole army to eat and drink, which is definitely not enough. Moreover, Du Xing had tested the adjutant general, and the officers and soldiers under Hua Huai did not know that Hua Huai had gone to Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang to extort food and money. Du Xing deliberately revealed to the lieutenant general that Hua Huai had extorted food from Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang. Later, Du Xing told Zhu Biao that this deputy general was timid,

Even if he knew, he was afraid that he would not dare to take the lead in making trouble, so Zhu Biao deliberately sang such a play under the city wall of Lijiazhuang, the purpose was very clear, that is, to let Hua Huai's brothers know that Hua Huai had a large amount of money in money, and if he wanted to return to the military salary, he had to hurry up and make trouble.

Of course, Zhu Biao knew that these alone might not be enough to provoke infighting between the officials and the army, so he also kept a back move.

When Hua Huai Huazhong welcomed Zhu Biao's team into Lijiazhuang, both sides of the road were full of people and officials from Lijiazhuang, all looking at this team of mule carts. After entering the village, Zhu Biao also privately took out a 200 yuan handover to Hua Huai, and said: "Defense envoy Xianggong, the total amount you want is not available at once, pay these first, and make up the rest in the future." ”

"Okay, but I can only give you three or five days of Zhujiazhuang, and if the days drag on for a long time, I will be punished for colluding with Liangshan thieves!" Hua Huai unceremoniously took Jiaozi into his arms, looked at Zhu Biao and smiled coldly: "Zhu Gongzi, in fact, I have long understood that you can't hold the fire in paper when you bring food and military salaries, but I expect that even if these birdmen know that you Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang are transporting money and grain in, what do they dare to do?" It's turned upside down! ”

Hua Zhong approached Hua Huai and said, "Brother, be quiet, be quiet." ”

"I'm afraid they're birds!" Hua Huai said: "My defense envoy bought it with 4,000 yuan, Lao Tzu is not to make money, what is Lao Tzu doing with such great effort?" If you have the ability, these birdmen will also buy an official! ”

Just after the mule convoy entered Lijiazhuang, Luan Tingyu led three hundred men and horses to start a posture drill in front of Lijiazhuang. "Kill, kill, kill!" shouted during drills! "It attracted a lot of officers and soldiers and ordinary people to see.

After just half an hour of practice, Luan Tingyu suddenly asked all the brothers to stand up. At this moment, a mule cart came, and on top of the mule cart were six large wooden boxes neatly stacked.

Luan Tingyu ordered someone to move the wooden box down, he approached a wooden box, opened it in an uproar, and the big guys saw it, and it was filled with yellow copper coins.

Luan Tingyu took out a string of copper coins, stood in front of his brothers, and asked in a loud voice, "Whose meal are you eating?" ”

The three hundred brothers shouted in unison: "Eat the food of the court!" ”

"Whose clothes are you wearing?"

"The clothes of the imperial court!"

"For whom do you serve?"

"Serve the court!"

"Alright, let's start paying the army." Luan Tingyu looked at the officials and soldiers on the city wall, some of their eyes were straight, some of them were about to burst into flames, and some of them began to exchange their heads.

Then, Luan Tingyu began to pay the three hundred brothers one by one.

When the officers and soldiers on the city wall of Lijiazhuang saw it, they were all indignant. A group of soldiers gathered around and discussed:

"This is really more people than people, and goods are still better than goods! The small Zhujiazhuang also paid military salaries. ”

"Damn, this Hua Huai is really not a fucking thing, I haven't paid my military salary for half a year, let us eat bird feather ashes!"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"But what can be done? Behind his Huahuai is the support of the playboy of the imperial court, what do we have? ”

"It's the fuck back!"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you let Hua Fang listen, be careful that it will cost your life. Last year, a brother complained and was beheaded by Hua Fang for the crime of bewitching the public. ”

"Hey, if you want me to say, we don't want to be this official army, it's better to go to Zhujiazhuang as a soldier to take care of the home."

At this time, a man in official uniform came over and shouted, "What are you shouting here?" ”

When the officers and soldiers saw that the generals were coming, they were about to disperse, and the generals shouted: "Stop for Lao Tzu!" ”

When the officers and soldiers stood still, the general gathered the officers and soldiers together and muttered in a low voice for a long time.

Dividing line ********

After Zhu Biao finished delivering the grain and military salary, Hu Cheng of Hujiazhuang also came to deliver a part. When the people of the two families of Zhu Hu left, the two deputy generals under Hua Huai went to Li Ying's old house to look for Hua Huai.

An adjutant general said: "The defense envoy is the prime minister, the brothers have not been paid military salaries for half a year, do you see if it is ......?"

"What is it?" Hua Huai's eyes glared: "These are all the grain, grass and military salaries prepared for the imperial court to levy the Liangshan thieves, do you dare to share them?" ”

The lieutenant said, "The brothers can't open the pot." ”

Hua Huai thought for a while and said, "Then one person will send half a catty of rice grain first." ”

"Isn't there too little defense?"

"Damn, dog-like people dare to talk about conditions with their own ministers!" Hua Huai was furious, picked up a teacup and smashed it at the deputy general. The deputy general flashed, but he was also angry, and was about to resist, but was hugged by another lieutenant: "You can't make a mistake in Niu Tuan's practice!" ”

Niu Song said angrily: "Ma Kun group practice, let me go, I am fighting with this miscellaneous!" ”

Hua Huai shouted: "Someone! Take down this guy surnamed Niu Ben Defense! ”

Several of Hua Huai's cronies rushed in under the leadership of Hua Zhong, and were about to arrest Niu Song, Ma Kun knelt in front of Hua Huai and said: "Please also defend the Xianggong to forgive his sins, Niu Tuanlian has eaten too much wine, and please don't remember the villain!" ”

Hua Huai snorted and said: "If you don't look at Ma Tuanlian's face, I will definitely punish you for a big crime of colluding with Liangshan thieves!" ”

Ma Kun dragged Niu Song out of Lijiazhuang, and Niu Song said angrily: "Ma Tuanlian, I think this Hua Huai is crazy!" The wives of the family are waiting for the military pay to live, and if this continues, I am afraid that the whole family will starve to death. ”

Ma Kun glanced around and said softly: "Niu Tuanlian, please come to my military tent and think about it in the long run." ”
