Chapter 21: The Expedition

This expedition was a helpless move by the old emperor who really couldn't think of anyone else who could go, and the guys sent there a few times ago had already lost 100,000 troops. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For Zhou Gongyun, he originally wanted to leave it idle for a few years, and let him lead the army again when he admitted his mistake and married his daughter, after all, such a talent is not used, it is simply a tyrannical thing, and it is also the biggest irony for a king like himself who thinks that he can be called a generation of wise kings. I don't want this little bastard to be really a bastard, I have an iron heart after eating the scales, and if I don't let him marry Dong Xiaoman, he will die and will not go on the expedition.

As a last resort, as a condition for going on the expedition, he agreed, as long as Zhou Gongyun could calm down the Xiliang Qiang Rebellion, he would find a minister to accept Dong Xiaoman as a righteous daughter and marry this little bastard. Although it is inevitable to be ridiculed, but for the lives of the people of Liangzhou and hundreds of thousands of troops, what is this face?

Zhou Gongyun had already ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he would go out after the emperor reviewed it, and he didn't want the emperor to know if he didn't want to see him, a 'little bastard', saying that he was sick and couldn't come, but just lined up a eunuch to come and make a show, and execute the so-called parade on behalf of the monarch.

It is also thanks to the old emperor that he can figure it out, you must know that in this era of emperor mythologization, there is a difference between the morale of the army inspected by the emperor himself and the army that is not reviewed by the emperor.

Zhou Gongyun has nothing to complain about this, for a general, what could be more exciting than being able to take charge of an army again and go to the battlefield again? Although he has been idle in Kyoto for five years, his blood has always been boiling, and he is waiting for such a day.

When leaving Kyoto, Zhou Gongyun looked at the city tower, where there was a stunning beauty with a light veil, when he heard the tune of "Sending the King" in the zither worth a thousand gold sounded with the wind, Zhou Gongyun ruthlessly turned his head away, afraid that he couldn't help but run up to the city tower.

"What are you going to do with this frosted eggplant-like army?" Qian Cheng is very dissatisfied with the army in front of him, just like this, he is also worthy of being called the 'Vermilion Bird Army'? The third of the four armies that were once the dignified beams? It's just that after a few defeats, he even lost his military soul, and now he is absolutely confident that he will take 5,000 Red Eyebrow troops to completely annihilate these guys.

"What do you want?"

"It seems that you have already made up your mind in your heart, so why ask knowingly."

"I'm just going to see if the guy I bought with five hundred pounds of gold is worth it."

"It's rent, rent, you know? I will only help you finish this battle, and if you still want to ask me after this battle, you will have to pay again, and please double it at a time, and there will be no counteroffer. ”

"Priori."

"Okay, good, good, you're the gold lord, you're the master. One word, kill. ”

"Kill whom?"

"Kill the one who deserves to be killed."

"Who?"

Just when these two were playing dumb riddles, they all came.

"General, today's grain and grass have arrived."

"Someone is coming."

The poor one still doesn't know what Qian Cheng meant.

"General, what do you mean?"

"Liu Duguan, General Zhou wants to borrow something from you, I don't know if you want to?" Zhou Gongyun didn't speak, but what Qian Cheng said was obviously what he meant.

"What's that? As long as the last general can do it, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate. "This Duguan surnamed Liu is very excited, he can do things for the general, if he does it well, he will definitely not treat himself badly.

"There is no need for you to go to the soup, just borrow your head for a while, rest assured, your wife and children, the old and young generals will take care of you." Before Qian Cheng finished speaking, this Liu Duguan was already pale.

"No, no, General Rao ......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Duguan was surprised to find that he could actually see his back. Bang' the head of the person fell to the ground, and everything returned to peace.

Zhou Gongyun's sword was very fast, so fast that Qian Chengzhijue's eyes flashed, and Liu Duguan was already head and body separated, this is probably the legendary martial arts master.

"Someone."

"The subordinates are here."

"Hang the head of this capital in the martial arts arena, and pass the order, Liu Du is in charge of the military salary of the greedy ink, thinking that it will be seized, and the law will be corrected on the spot, and from today onwards, everyone's military salary will be increased by one or two silver as compensation for the food and salary of the greedy ink."

Compensation for military salaries? Never. How many people who are soldiers can really get their full salary? The geese plucked their feathers, layer by layer, and probably couldn't even leave half of the food in the hands of the soldiers.

Zhou Gongyun's hand is not only aimed at Liu Duguan personally, but also to warn these guys who have plucked their feathers. And on this basis, an additional tael of silver was added, which was not a small amount, which increased the monthly expenditure of 30,000 taels of silver, but Zhou Gongfair didn't care, as long as he could win the battle, even if it was more money, the emperor would give him, and the local government where the army passed through must fully assist, and the command power that was not restricted by outsiders at all was also the original condition.

For Zhou Gongyun, all the generals will not doubt his warning. If he dares to be greedy for a tael of silver from the Mo soldiers today, I am afraid that the head hanging in the martial arts arena tomorrow will be his own.

This is Zhou Gongyun's prestige in the Liang army, this prestige is not only because he fought hard, but also because he dared to kill the favored minister who insulted his father in front of the emperor. And, what's even more powerful is that not only was he not blamed, but he was also praised by the emperor.

This kind of guy cut himself, I'm afraid no one dares to say anything, after all, the emperor thinks that the person he killed is the person who should be killed, but is his identity still as high as the favored minister back then?

What do soldiers fight for? Saying that everything else is false, money, is the last word, with money you can build a big house, with money you can marry a ****** daughter-in-law, how hard and hard, maybe you can become Lao Tzu in the coming year, this is the most practical idea of being a soldier at present.

"General Zhou has an order, this time to cut down the Qiang, kill one person can get one or two silver, if you kill the leader of the Qiang people, the official will be promoted to one level, and the reward will be one hundred taels of silver, and if someone takes the head of the leader of the Qiang people, the official will be promoted to three levels, and will be one hundred taels of gold, a set of Kyoto mansion." The official position is hereditary, although it is not a good rule, but in order for future generations to be able to stand up and be a man, no one is unwilling to fight.

"Morale seems to have recovered."

"Not almost."

"Indeed, one big win is still missing."

"Do you have a way?"

"Not for the time being, but you can send someone to collect information about these Qiang leaders for me now, the more complete the better."

"Why?"

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles."

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles? Art? Which book is on it? ”

"I thought of it myself." Qian Cheng was also too lazy to explain, and Tian shamelessly said that Sun Tzu's Art of War was included in his name.

"Not really."

"That's why you're not likeable."

"No, I don't."

"Okay, you're an uncle, you're awesome, I'll go sleep first, I'm really tired of being dusty all the way." Qian Cheng is too lazy to talk to this guy anymore, and it is better to talk to him than to tease the cow barbarian himself.

"Awesome? What do you mean? If Qian Cheng hadn't left now, this would have him describe Zhou Gongyun's current appearance, and it would definitely be five words: capitalized bewilderment.
