Chapter 114: Fooling

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's generous statement, it immediately resonated with the following villagers, and many villagers immediately shouted.

For a time, the camp "I am willing to cross the river with the general to fight!" The shouts resounded in the sky, and even among the villagers who were unwilling to cross the river with the army at the beginning, many people were ashamed, stood up to ask for battle, and asked to join the army crossing the river.

This shout echoed for a long time before it gradually subsided, and after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, a few of the people who were crying and reluctant to cross the river also stopped their sorrows, and retreated into the formation with shame on their faces, only the remaining four people were still asking for mercy, begging Gao Huaiyuan to let them go and let them stay on the south bank.

"Lord County Lieutenant, the small ones are old and young, and the family still needs to be taken care of by the small, and the small ones are not good men, so I implore the adults to leave the small ones! ......" Three of the four people continued to cry, which immediately attracted the disdainful eyes of the surrounding villagers.

"Life and death are fateful, you wait to cross the river with adults, it is determined by heaven, why are you so timid and afraid of death? Don't you think it's okay to lose all of our Daye people? There was a sound of scolding behind them, and I saw Guo Liang come out of the crowd and point at them and scold.

"Don't tell me this, I just don't want to cross the river! Whoever loves to go, who goes! It's a big deal! "A guy looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he actually turned his head and returned his mouth.

Gao Huaiyuan is really going to be angry with this guy, at this time, this guy is still prevaricating like this, how can the existence of such people be tolerated in the army.

"Since you don't want to go, then it's not difficult for the official to be for you, when the official chose people, he said that life and death are fate, since you won the lottery, you should be in peace with the destiny of heaven and go to Huangzhou with the official! But since you don't want to listen to the order, then you are also sorry to blame the official!

Come on, drag these four people out of the gate and behead them on the spot, what the official wants is a warrior, not a coward!

This is the army, not your backyard, and you can't call the shots, but you have repeatedly bewitched the army's heart, how can this officer tolerate you! Kill! Gao Huaiyuan couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at the four of them.

As soon as his words fell, a group of people rushed out behind him, and when he went up, he pressed the four men firmly, tied them with ropes, and dragged them out.

This frightened the four of them, they didn't want to go to Huangzhou because they were afraid of death, thinking that they could stay if they made a fuss and took some boards at most, but they didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to kill them, and they were not allowed to have a chance to escape.

So a few people were suddenly frightened, and hurriedly wailed for mercy, and did not ask to stay in Ezhou, and even shouted that they were willing to cross the river, but at this time, it was impossible for Gao Huaiyuan to take back his life.

"Guo Liang is out of the ranks! I order you to be the prison officer who crosses the river this time, all those who are disobedient to the generals, greedy for life and afraid of death, and who escape from the battle, will be killed without forgiveness, you will be executed on behalf of the official, and the heads of these four people will be sacrificed to the flag, and the official will wait here! Make no mistake! Gao Huaiyuan didn't listen to the wails of the four of them at all, and immediately shouted loudly to the villagers below.

"Little obedience!" Guo Liang immediately came out of the crowd, stood in front of Gao Huaiyuan and hugged his fists to receive the order, he was a person who had served with Gao Huaiyuan in front of the army before, knowing Gao Huaiyuan's temper, as long as Gao Huaiyuan was really ruthless, I am afraid that the emperor Lao Tzu would not be able to change his mind at this time.

As the wails of the four people gradually faded away, the camp suddenly became silent, and everyone was a little stunned by Gao Huaiyuan, they didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to be so ruthless, and he would kill when he said it, now they know what it means to be ruthless in military law, it seems that these four people have hit Gao Huaiyuan's knife edge.

In the hunting wind, only a few people's wails were heard constantly coming from the Yuanmen, and then Guo Liang was heard shouting outside the Yuanmen: "Kill!" ”

The wailing and begging for mercy of the four people stopped abruptly, only the wind blew the battle flag and made the sound of hunting, and soon the four executed teenagers, each carrying a bloody human head, followed Guo Liang back to the camp and placed the human head at Gao Huaiyuan's feet.

Gao Huaiyuan glanced coldly at a few people's heads, and saw that each of them had their eyes slightly open, as if they were dying, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, these four people may not be bad people, but unfortunately they came to the wrong place, Gao Huaiyuan didn't know which township the four of them were, and he didn't know if they were forced to come to Ezhou, but at this time he didn't have time to figure out these things, what he needed was morale and military discipline, so he could only borrow their heads.

"Hang the heads of these four people on the camp gate, and those who disrespect the order should take this as a warning, and the officials do not want to kill them, but they prefer to kill themselves, and they have nothing to complain about the officials!

Everyone weighs it in their hearts, this is the army, the military order is like a mountain, if anyone still wants to challenge military discipline and defy the law, these four people are role models!

Now the teams will take the meal, and those who go out with the officer tonight will receive their armor, pack up your armor, and be ready to be dispatched at any time, and cross the river with the officer! Disband! Gao Huaiyuan loudly ordered the disbandment.

Then he strode off the stage, turned around and ordered some people, followed him out of the garrison, and went to the treasury of the garrison camp to receive weapons and armor, etc., and at the same time asked people to guard the camp closely, and no one was allowed to leave the camp, otherwise he would be punished with escape, God knows if there would be a timid person who took advantage of the unpreparedness at night, and once there were deserters, then things would be in trouble.

The officer in charge of the treasury had already received instructions from Zhao Fang, and prepared the required armor for Gao Huaiyuan and the others, and piled them up outside the warehouse, just waiting for Gao Huaiyuan to come here to receive them.

By the time Gao Huaiyuan came to the treasury, the treasurer had already waited impatiently, and sat in the tent scolding with a dissatisfied face.

"Daye County Lieutenant Gao Huaiyuan has come to receive bows, crossbows, armor and other things!" Just as the treasurer and the others were impatient, the voice of the colonel came from outside.

It's finally here! The treasurer spoke: "Let him enter the camp and let him come to the official to sign for what he needs!" Wait until it's dark! ”

Gao Huaiyuan entered the treasurer's room alone, and saw this guy with his two legs raised high on the case, with a pair of scissors in his hand and trimming his nails, with a dissatisfied face, he only raised his eyes and glanced at Gao Huaiyuan, and when he saw Gao Huaiyuan coming in empty-handed, he immediately snorted coldly.

"The shelf is not small, does the county lieutenant know that this official has been waiting for you here for a long time? I really don't know the rules! The treasurer pursed his lips and snorted coldly, and then rebuked Gao Huaiyuan dissatisfiedly.

Gao Huaiyuan was in a bad mood today, and his heart was a little out of control, and he had just killed four people who were retreating, and he was full of anger, and he didn't know who to vent to, so he forgot the rules of the army when he came, and when he came to the treasury to receive a large number of supplies, he generally had to give these treasury officers some benefits, otherwise, he might not be able to receive the required materials in full, and he already knew this rule when he was in Xiangyang.

When he saw the face of this treasurer officer, he immediately understood his mistakes, but today he is also evil, and he is not willing to give face to such people who eat imperial food and do not do business, he said in his heart Lao Tzu is going to cross the river to play with his life, in order to fight for the Great Song Dynasty, it is not necessary to come back or not, you stay here comfortably, only distribute some supplies, but want Lao Tzu to give you an offering, who will Lao Tzu find to reason! What's more, Lao Tzu is a Jiupin county lieutenant, and you are a small treasurer, but it's like asking Lao Tzu to give you an offering, no way!

So Gao Huaiyuan didn't pay attention to the meaning of this guy at all, and he didn't know this rule, so he just hugged his fists and said: "This official is handling affairs in the camp, and there has been a delay in time, and I hope that the master of the treasury will bear with me, please issue the armor quickly, and let me bring it back!" ”

As soon as the treasurer saw what Gao Huaiyuan meant, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and said in his heart Even if these things you want are approved by Lord Zhao, but you are a fool of yourself in the officialdom! I don't even understand this rule, if everyone is as unreasonable as you, then how will Lao Tzu get mixed up in the future! With such a big family in Ezhou, can't you drink the northwest wind? But he also saw that Gao Huaiyuan didn't mean to confess to him at all, although he was full of anger, he couldn't ask Gao Huaiyuan for a bribe, so he rolled his eyes and immediately counted it in his heart.

"In this case, Lord Gao is also entangled in military affairs, and the subordinate has nothing to say, come on, please go to Beiku to get the armor! This is a list of the weapons issued, please sign for it! With that, the treasurer pushed a list on the table to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan stepped forward and picked up the list of supplies, and looked at it with big eyes, but there was no problem, but he also kept an eye on it, and did not sign it immediately, he understands this, once he signs it, it is equivalent to sitting on the matter, as for what he received, he may not know!

And he also knew that the amount of things distributed by the officers in charge of the treasury was not enough many times, and they relied on making small moves in this to resell the deducted things to the black market for profit, so Gao Huaiyuan just looked at the list, and then turned around to follow a small official to receive the supplies.

"Huh? Why is the tall man so ignorant of the rules? You'd better sign for it first! When the treasurer officer saw that Gao Huaiyuan had taken the list and turned around, he hurriedly called him to arrive.

"That's right? The official always has to be accepted before he can sign for it! Gao Huaiyuan continued to pretend not to understand.

This time the palm of the treasury was angry enough, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it!" In that case, you can go and accept it! Come on, take the tall man to pick up the goods! ”

The little officials under him were also from the past, and as soon as they heard their heads give such orders, they immediately understood the reason, so after sneering, they made a gesture of invitation to Gao Huaiyuan, and then went out to lead the way, leading Gao Huaiyuan towards a warehouse in the back.

When the door of the warehouse was opened by a few guards guarding the warehouse, a cloud of dust fell on the door, and immediately fell on people's heads and faces, choking people almost unable to breathe, Gao Huaiyuan's brows wrinkled, look at the posture of this warehouse has not been opened for some years, what good goods can be stored here!

"Lord Gao, the east side of this is the place where the armor is stored, there is an order on it, the quasi-high lord uses one hundred sets of iron armor, five hundred sets of leather armor, and the middle place is the thing of swords, guns and shields, and the adults can extract six hundred sets at will, and the west side is where the bows and bowstrings are located, although the adults take them, and then there are bows and crossbows and arrows in another warehouse, and the adults can go and use them in a while!"

A small official took the list and said loudly to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan stared at this huge warehouse, it was dark inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly when he looked in, and after the warehouse door was opened, the rats were running around, and several rats even ran out from under their feet in a panic, and there was a musty smell everywhere.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately thought of the problem, so he immediately scolded in his heart, it seems that he didn't give an offering to the damn treasurer officer today, so they came up with a way to deal with themselves, and actually opened the warehouse of the discarded armor and asked him to choose the armor, although he hadn't seen the contents yet, but Gao Huaiyuan already knew that there was absolutely nothing he needed in it.

These damn bastards, Lao Tzu is going to send troops to fight, but here in order to ask for bribes, you are trapping me, and let Lao Tzu get some discarded things and go to play with Jin Bing! Do you want Lao Tzu to die?

"Are you sure what you need is here?" Gao Huanyuan suppressed his anger and asked coldly to a few soldiers who had brought him over to take care of the warehouse.

"Not bad! This is exactly where the armor needed by adults is stored, so please do it! One guy replied with a pouting look of disdain.

Gao Huaiyuan looked at this guy's face, and wanted to go up and slap him and hit him all over the ground, but the thought in his heart turned around, and he still suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Since this is the case, then please take the lamp, and I will take someone in to pick up the goods!" Come on, come in with me and count the armor you need! ”

So someone brought a lantern, lit it, and led Gao Huaiyuan and his party into the huge warehouse, the musty smell in the warehouse was disgusting, and the squeaky sound of rats scurried everywhere under their feet.

When he saw a pile of armor covered with dust, Gao Huaiyuan had completely determined his thoughts, this was really the place where the discarded armor was stored, and it was not at all the reserve warehouse for the regular equipment of the Song Army's current garrison, because the armor here was not only dilapidated, but also of different shapes, there were both armor in it, and even a few sets of mirror armor that could be called antiques, it was almost impossible to see what age the work was, each of them was rusty, and the leather of some armor was even rotten, and a large piece of armor was rusted to the point that only a layer of skin remainedThere are also many places where there are cracks, and the ghost knows when the dead man picked it off.

As for the leather armor, it was covered with mildew green hair, it smelled to death, and it was tattered, and the people who came with him jumped up before Gao Huaiyuan was happy.

"Is this for our armor? Can this rag also be called armor? Can this still be worn? I'd rather go into battle with my bare ass than go to war in this shit! Someone stood behind Gao Huaiyuan and immediately scolded, the voice was a little too loud, and the dust fell on his head, choking people couldn't help coughing.

"That's right, that's all for you, love or not! Anyway, you are all village soldiers, and you are not worthy of the armor used by the garrison army! Hurry up and pick! It's up to you! A small official in charge of the treasury replied to Gao Huaiyuan and the others with a disdainful face.

All of a sudden, the group of people brought by Gao Huaiyuan were angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas went out of the body, so a group of people wanted to step forward to reason with these soldiers in charge of the warehouse, but Gao Huaiyuan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them.

"Hugh has to say more! Now that these adults are ready for us, let's pick and choose! It's good enough to be able to use these things, so what more can you say? Hurry up and get started! Gao Huaiyuan said loudly.

At this moment, the people he brought with him stopped talking, and rummaged through the pile of armor in a puff, and under such a pull, the room smelled even more musty, and dust flew everywhere.

A few of the guys who were guarding the storeroom couldn't stand the smell either, so they retreated to the gate and stretched out their heads to get some fresh air outside.

"All the officials listened, don't say anything, don't ask anything, take what is broken for the official, and after making up the number, move out! This official is useful! Hurry up, everyone! Gao Huaiyuan held back his anger and commanded the people around him.

The group of people under him were suddenly confused, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Gao Huaiyuan's gourd, it seemed that their young master or county lieutenant was not stupid! Why does it suddenly seem like a bit of a comedy today?

But in the afternoon, Gao Huaiyuan had just killed four people who disrespected the order, Yu Wei was still there, and after the order was issued, everyone didn't dare to ask anything more, so they immediately followed the order, what was broken, and everyone started together, and tossed this large pile of tattered armor, took out the broken armor that could not be broken again, and then moved out of the warehouse.

A few guards standing at the door of the storehouse watched the grizzled villagers move the rags outside, so they covered their mouths and snickered, and whispered.

"I said brother, these buns are buns, no wonder they asked us to bring them here, you see, they guys are also happy to move this thing, I really haven't seen the market! Hey! ”

"That's it, these buns don't even understand the rules, so they come here to get the goods, and they should use these things, and they can't give them points, let them take it! Just clean up the warehouse for our brothers, so as not to occupy the treasury! ”

"You stupid! You know the! We're going to make a fortune now! I can't even see this! I'm still thinking about cleaning up the warehouse, I'm really convinced of you! If you want me to say that as soon as they leave, it's time for us to get busy, wait and see, and let's not stop tonight! ”
