518 Liu Bei's fate (6)

Zhang Xiu and Yang Xiu rushed to Wancheng in Nanyang as fast as possible, after Zhang Xiu's army surrendered, they were all stationed in Wancheng, but they were not given the weapons and armor they deserved, and the people responsible for guarding the city were all Wei Xu's army, so they were also idle these days.

I used to train a lot, but now I am idle and bored, so everyone thinks of an activity that is very suitable for entertainment, that is, gambling.

Gambling has existed since ancient times, but the most popular place for gambling is not in the people, but in the army.

The life of a soldier is boring and boring, and in order to pass the boring time, many soldiers are fond of gambling. In addition to passing the time, you can also earn some money. Of course, if you win.

Zhang Xiu's military camp is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, not only ordinary soldiers like to gamble, but even their commander Hu Che'er also likes to gamble. And he's addicted to gambling.

At this moment, Hu Che'er and his subordinate soldiers were surrounding the big tent in the barracks, and the voices in the big tent were noisy, and they kept shouting: "Single! Single! Single! Single ......"

When the soldiers in the village pushed the twenty or thirty black and white chess pieces placed on the table to the other side of the table in a group of two chess pieces with the wooden strips in their hands, the soldiers who circled around the table all widened their eyes, and then clenched their fists and shouted "Shan" hoarsely.

However, when the last few sets of chess pieces were removed, there were only a few six chess pieces left on the table, and the number was clear at a glance.

And there was a burst of anger on his face, especially Hu Che'er among them.

"Smack!"

There was a dull thud. Hu Che'er slapped his thick palm on the table. The face is gloomy. He pointed at the soldier sitting in the village and said, "You fucking cheat!" I opened ten in a row, and all of them were doubles! ”

When the soldier heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back, then knelt on the ground and said loudly: "General, you just gave me ten guts, and I don't dare to cheat." Moreover, this Zhuang still asked me to do ......"

Hu Che'er is addicted to gambling, but he loses more and wins less, but he is a general, and he still loses these small money, and he is in a mood to play. But today's gambling was too bad, he played ten in a row, but he didn't win a handful, and bet ten in a row. As a result, all the cars were double, and they were about to drive Hu Che'er crazy.

The rest of the soldiers were angry when they saw Hu Che'er. They all stepped forward to persuade that people here had never cheated, and even if they gave the dealer a thousand guts, they didn't dare to break ground in front of Tai Sui, but the general's luck was just bad.

Listening to people's persuasion and eating a full meal, Hu Che'er felt that what everyone said was right, here he is the boss, who dares to cheat, directly chop off his hand.

So, Hu Che'er discouraged, pardoned the soldier just now, and randomly ordered a soldier to sit in the village, saying that it was a different person, and luck might come back.

The soldier who sat in the village just now thanked him again and again, and hurriedly walked out of the big tent, estimating that he would never dare to play again in the future.

In fact, the nature of this gambling is still very fun, and it is also very simple, that is, guess odd and even. The so-called bookmaker is not used to take all, but an ornament, and there are no odds. If one player loses, then the money he bets goes to the winning side, and the dealer is just like a waiter.

Ten in a row, Hu Che'er didn't lose much, but the mood was extremely bad, this time after changing the dealer, Hu Che'er re-energized and threw himself into the battle again.

This time, Hu Che'er took out ten copper coins, pressed them all on the list, and said: "I don't believe in evil, and I won't open the bill this time?" ”

Playing with Hu Che'er, it was several military horses under him, and when several people saw that Hu Che'er was in a bad mood, they gave each other a look, and several military horses all understood, and successively pressed the money on the double side.

After leaving his hand, I saw that the new dealer grabbed a handful of chess pieces from a large number of chess pieces at random, and then buckled them in a pottery bowl. ”

"Let's go!"

The dealer took away the pottery bowl, and then began to separate the chess pieces with wooden sticks, and at this time the whole camp was shouting, and they were even more excited to stare at the chess pieces on the table.

"Single! Single! Single! Single ......" Hu Che'er stared at his eyes and kept shouting.

However, when there were only a few chess pieces left, it became clear at a glance on the table that there were still six chess pieces, and it turned out to be a double.

"Fuck! Why is Lao Tzu so unlucky today? Eleven in a row, it turned out to be a double! Hu Che'er's lungs were about to explode, and he took out some copper coins and threw them directly to several military horses on the opposite side, which was regarded as paying them the money that was pressed on the table.

Several military horses also looked at each other, and they had been singles for eleven in a row, thinking that this would be a double, so everyone unanimously pressed the money on the double side, but what I didn't expect was that it was still single.

Several military masters glared at the dealer angrily, and they all secretly cursed in their hearts, how to catch the chess pieces, how to still double.

The dealer is also innocent, he grabbed it casually, and he didn't know whether it was single or double, but how did he go wrong, it turned out to be a double.

"Forget it, Lao Tzu won't play today, so Lao Tzu won't be in the mood at all." Hu Che'er pushed away the crowd and was about to leave.

At this time, one of his military commanders was quick-eyed, grabbed Hu Che'er's arm, and said with a hippie smile: "General, just have fun, this time you will play the last one, and it has been eleven consecutive doubles, this time it must be single, doesn't the general want to win back all the money that has been exported?" ”

Hu Che'er definitely wanted to win, and in front of so many people, he lost to these subordinates, and naturally he couldn't cover his face, so he agreed, turned around and returned to the front of the table.

At this time, the military Sima who pulled Hu Che'er made a look at the dealer, and the dealer immediately understood, secretly hid a chess piece in his hand, and then seemed to inadvertently grab a chess piece, but in fact, they were already ready, he covered all these chess pieces under the pottery bowl, and then said: "You can bet." ”

Hu Che'er still took out ten copper coins and pressed them on the list, while the other military horses pressed the money on the double as usual.

The next good hand, and then the dealer began to divide the single and double, the final result is single.

However, Hu Che'er obviously won, but there was no happy expression, and when the rest of the soldiers came to congratulate Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er sneered: "You buns of rabbit cubs, do you think I don't know the way?" Even if I win, there is nothing to be happy about, and the money I just lost to you should have invited you to drink, as well as the ones on the table. Lao Tzu has been quite unlucky in recent days, and it seems that today is not suitable for gambling. ”

After speaking, Hu Che'er turned around and walked out of the tent, who knows, as soon as he opened the curtain of the big tent, he suddenly bumped into Zhang Xiu's full arms, his body was quite tall, and he was relatively stocky, Zhang Xiu was knocked out of the tent by him, a stumble, and almost fell to the ground.

After Hu Che'er saw it, he hurriedly ran out, came to Zhang Xiu's side, and hurriedly apologized.

Zhang Xiu didn't feel anything, but when he glanced at the smoky miasma gathered in the camp tent, and there were some Go chess pieces scattered on the table, he immediately understood what this group of people were doing in the camp tent, they must be gambling again.

In fact, gambling is nothing to Zhang Xiu, and sometimes, he will also gamble on two, but he is not addicted to gambling, but for recreation. Hu Che'er is different, Hu Che'er is addicted to gambling like his life, he has to gamble two or three times a day, not only gambling on the gambling table, he likes to gamble on everything, and often likes to say, "Let's make a bet", this is Hu Che'er's mantra, so people give him a nickname, the king of gambling.

Of course, such a nickname can only be called in private.

Zhang Xiu grew up with Hu Che'er and knew Hu Che'er very well, so naturally he would not resent him for gambling. But today is different, the people who came with Zhang Xiu, as well as Yang Xiu, stood by Zhang Xiu's side, and Zhang Xiu noticed that Yang Xiu had noticed what activities were in the tent.

The prevalence of gambling in the barracks has always been a very serious problem, and some soldiers will even be bankrupt by gambling, and some are more down-and-out, but people who can make a lot of money have never appeared.

Moreover, the gambling style has also seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the army and the image problem, so the prevalence of gambling in the military camp has always been a secret thing, and the outside world rarely knows about it.

Zhang Xiuban made a face, immediately glanced at Hu Che'er, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and meet Lord Yang?" ”

Hu Che'er didn't notice Yang Xiu standing beside Zhang Xiu until this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The last general will meet Lord Yang!" ”

"General Hu doesn't have to be polite." Yang Xiu said lightly, then turned his face to Zhang Xiu, and said to Zhang Xiu, "General Zhang, since we have come, then it is up to you to decide here, weapons, armor, and ordnance, grain and grass will be transported to the barracks tonight, General Zhang is well prepared, and we will set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yang, I will definitely do my best to arrange everything." Tomorrow will be on time to assemble outside the city, and Lord Yang will be asked to supervise at that time. ”

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "There is no need for supervision, as long as General Zhang can arrive there on time according to the time we agreed." I still have something to explain, so I won't bother General Zhang. ”

"I'll send Lord Yang away."

"No, I'm very close to here, General Zhang should stay and straighten out the soldiers and horses."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Xiu turned around and left, but before he had taken two steps, he stopped again, turned to Zhang Xiu and said: "By the way, General Zhang, a small gamble is pleasant, a big gamble hurts the body, the gambling style in the military camp is serious, it is time to rectify and rectify, don't let your subordinates infect this atmosphere to other military ......"
