At the same time, Gong Du led 20,000 soldiers and more than 100 selected female slaves such as Zhu'er, as well as nearly 13 billion gold, silver, jewelry, and cloth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Feng Yao only brought 500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of gold with the army, a total of one billion yuan, this is the first time that Feng Yao brought so much money with the army, although it was all yellow and white, but it was also enough to load fifteen carts, plus grain and grass, the convoy reached fifty cars!

After only one day, less than fifty miles, the soldiers were in difficulty, and there was still a thirty-mile journey from Feng Yao's intended goal, Mushui in the east of Tancheng, and Feng Yao ordered to set up camp.

Xu Shu said: "Lord, our army has too much baggage, and the cavalry occupies more than two miscellaneous soldiers, now the number of miscellaneous servants is not enough, and the baggage carts are driving slowly, it is better to requisition more local people along the way as strong men, and pay a certain amount of silver taels, so that the lord can be praised by the people along the way, and the miscellaneous soldiers can have more time to train and become elite soldiers!" ”

Feng Yao immediately agreed and said, "Since this is the case, while requisitioning the people as strong men, simply recruit troops at the same time!" ”

After the surrender of the generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, they were promoted to lieutenants by Feng Yao, and they have been following Feng Yao's left and right, seeing that Feng Yao wanted to recruit troops, Fan Jiang said: "Lord, more than ten miles north from here, there are several mountains, named Ma Mountain, it is rumored that there are bandits in the mountains, I am willing to lead the elite soldiers to go, tell the lord the prestige, the thieves will come to join our army!" ”

Feng Yao agreed and asked, "How many elite soldiers does Captain Fan want to bring with him?" ”

"You don't need to bring miscellaneous labor, only five hundred elite soldiers are enough, each person brings half a day's dry food, and in one or two hours, you can go back and forth!" Fan Jiangdao.

Zhang Da also left the table and asked loudly: "Lord, I am willing to go with Fan Xiaowei Jiang, if the thieves dare to disobey the orders of the lord, the two of us will kill all the thieves!" ”

Feng Yao thought about it for a while, looked at the time, and there was still more than an hour before it got dark, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Captain Fan, Captain Zhang, the two of you will each lead five hundred elite soldiers from your headquarters, if it can be done, it will be done, if it can't be done, you must come back within two hours!" ”

The second general answered the order loudly, bowed down and retreated.

Xu Chu said worriedly: "Lord, if they take the opportunity to escape, won't we lose a thousand elite soldiers in vain?" ”

Jian Yong said: "Fan Jiang and Zhang Da's two generals should not betray the lord, the reason why they will sacrifice the city gate and surrender is entirely because of Zhang Fei, I am a fellow villager with Zhang Fei, and I know Zhang Fei's character, Zhang Fei is a local gentry, and he has developed a character since childhood, respects celebrities and scholars, and looks down on ordinary people very much, and beats and scolds his subordinates at every turn in the army!" ”

Feng Yao nodded and said to Xu Chu: "Zhong Kang, it's okay, if the two of them want to defect, it is impossible for them to only ask for a thousand soldiers, and at the same time they will not bring dry food!" ”

"My lord! I also have a little suspicion of my subordinates! Liu Shun, the leader of the scouts, suddenly spoke, "If there are bandits near Mashan, they must have only gathered recently, and his subordinates have also sent scouts to the area of Mashan to investigate, if there are a large number of bandits, it is impossible to avoid the scouts' investigation!" The subordinates suspect that the bandits in this Mashan may have an old relationship with Fan Jiang and Zhang Daer, or even deliberately sent by them! ”

Xu Shu also said: "My lord, I think Commander Liu's speculation is very reasonable!" We can't take it lightly! ”

Feng Yao glanced at the generals, and although Yang Wu, Dai Ling and the others did not speak, there was already a trace of suspicion in their eyes.

"Anyway, I believe they have a certain reason, and this happened before they surrendered to me, not that they wanted to be disadvantageous to our army!" Feng Yaodao.

About an hour and a half later, the scout came to report: "Lord, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da have arrived in front of the camp, and when they went, they had 1,000 elite soldiers, and now they have brought back 1,000 thief soldiers!" ”

Feng Yao was overjoyed, and the leaders would go out of the camp to check.

Seeing that Feng Yao was coming to greet him in person, Fan Jiang and Zhang Daer hurriedly rolled down from their horses, bowed in front of Feng Yao, and said loudly: "The subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have attracted a thousand Mashan thieves!" ”

Feng Yao ordered the two generals to get up, and the two generals glanced at each other, as if they had something to say, but after looking around, they couldn't help but say nothing, but just said: "Lord, I and the other two have something to say to the lord alone!" ”

"Good! I've got something important to discuss with you both, too! Feng Yao had already guessed what the second general wanted to say, but he didn't say it, but smiled, turned around and went back to the account!

Xu Chu and Dai Ling wanted to escort them, Feng Yao said: "It's okay, I have promised the two of them, I can't break my promise, you can just wait outside the tent."

After the second general entered the account alone, Feng Yao ordered his relatives to go outside the account with him, facing Fan Jiang and Zhang Da alone.

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were both admired and moved, pounced, and the two generals knelt in the tent and kowtowed: "Please punish us, the matter of the bandits we talked about before is actually the soldiers we secretly sent before the lord attacked Qu County!" ”

Feng Yao smiled: "I already knew! It's just human nature, and I won't blame you! It's just that I don't understand one thing, why didn't you immediately explain this matter after the breakthrough of Qu County? ”

When the second general heard that Feng Yao had already known, his body was shocked, his expression was terrified, and he repeatedly asked for guilt, Feng Yao did not blame at all, and personally helped the second general up and said: "Since I agreed to talk to you alone, I don't want more people to know about this matter, and at the same time, I have long forgiven you, you don't have to be afraid!" ”

Zhang Da said: "Lord, you can treat us like this, I, Zhang Da, swear, this life will be the lord's in the future, if the lord wants, you can take it at any time!" ”

Fan Jiang also swore a poisonous oath to express his sincerity, and then explained the reasons why he sent soldiers one by one.

It turned out that before Feng Yao attacked Qu County, the second general was shocked when he temporarily learned of Liu Bei's plan, and was worried that Feng Yaozhong's plan would be defeated, so he sent a hundred soldiers to lurk in Mashan in advance.

But later, Feng Yao easily defeated Liu Bei, the second general thought that the two hundred soldiers had already disbanded themselves, but he didn't expect that when he just sent out the troops, he received news from Ma Shan, Ma Shan's two hundred soldiers recruited deserters and nearby strong men, which had grown to more than 1,000 people, and heard that the second general had become a captain at Feng Yao's place, so he wanted to return.

After the second general learned about it, he didn't know the specific situation of these 200 soldiers, and he was worried that the situation would change, so he wanted to lead his troops to find out the truth first, so he pretended that there were bandits.

After receiving these thousand soldiers, one of the military marquis expressed his worries, and the second general suddenly realized, and then he had the act of asking for guilt.

After Feng Yao understood, he praised: "You can change your mistakes when you know them, which is already very valuable, and you know that you may be beheaded by me, and you have to come back, which shows your loyalty!" That's it, I'm not going to tell anyone else! ”

"One more thing! I'm trying to make you two the vanguard and conquer the city for me! I wonder if you want to? (To be continued.) )
