"What about the soldiers?" Zhou Ping's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"The Red Guy?" Chang Zongtian said with a smile: "I haven't seen a battle, why do you have to give money, at most each person will be given an extra three months' salary, and then give some wine money is a considerate boss, anyway, there are only a thousand people when they are full, and it won't cost a few dollars." ”

Zhou Ping frowned, Chang Zongtian's approach made him feel a little weird, before he went into battle, he had to pay for an arrow, but now he was so stingy when he made a fortune. He pondered for a while and said: "Brother Chang, the sage cloud does not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, so much money, you and I will take one percent, and future generations will not be able to enjoy it, what is the use?" In my opinion, every soldier has ten horses of green silk and thirty pieces of money, and it is good to have a good year. And their portion came out of mine. ”

"It's good!" Chang Zongtian is not easy to object, after all, Zhou Ping is the general, and as Zhou Ping said, this foreign wealth is too big, they have less than a thousand people killed at this time, and the cost is only 10,000 horses of silk, 30,000 yuan, compared to less than one-tenth of the seized property: "But it's not good to let you go out alone, let everyone share it." Speaking of this, he said to the herald on the side: "Let it be passed on, and let the sons and daughters be happy!" ”

"Whoa!"

A moment later, there was a cheer from the town, the cheers of the soldiers when they learned of the reward. The captured Manichaeans looked blankly at the ecstatic enemies, and then bowed their heads and carried their heavy burdens.

In Suzhou, Jianghuai, Jingzhe, and Xuanfu Division, there was a solemn scene, dozens of civilian and military generals wearing various official robes were busy beside Mutu, and they were commanding the 150,000 troops in the southeast to go south. Eradicate the rebellion of Fangla. And Tong Guan, who is the envoy of the four realms, is reclining on a chair at the top of the head with his eyes closed, although he has always been known for his muscles and bones like iron and strong physique, but in any case, he is nearly sixty years old, and his energy is definitely not as strong as when he was a teenager, and he can't help but be a little tired after tossing all morning.

"Eun Xiang, Eun Xiang!" A voice woke Tong Guan up, and he opened his eyes in confusion. I saw Wang Yu standing in front of him. Holding a document in his hand, his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide.

"Zhengchen, what's the matter!" Tong Guan moved his body, trying to sit up straight. For a capable and loyal confidant like Wang Yu. He still values it very much. He doesn't regard him as a dog and horse like Wenchen, which is why he can be quite popular in the army.

"Mani thieves killed each other under Xiuzhou City, and Zhou Ping took advantage of the situation to attack. The Great Broken Thief Army, no less than 30,000 prisoners, and a mountain of canes, now that he has pursued to Kip Stone Town, he sent a messenger back to ask the grace minister how to stop. Speaking of this, Wang Yu took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said with a smile: "This is brought by a messenger sent by Zhou Jian Zhu, saying that it was obtained from the thief, and presented it to Yu Enxiang to show his heart." ”

"Oh?" Tong Guan took the tissue paper, glanced at it, and saw that the first line was written on a pair of white jade Ruyi, densely written with all kinds of treasures, and there were forty or fifty lines at a rough look. Tong Guan's face couldn't help but move slightly, and he quietly put the gift list into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Zhou Ping is a blessed general, and he made such a great achievement!" ”

"What Enxiang said is very true, but according to what the last general saw, Zhou's imprisonment also relied on Enxiang and the Hongfu of the Son of Heaven to defeat the Mani thief in a row, and it is also the Hongfu of Enxiang and the Son of Heaven!"

"Yes, yes!" Hearing this, Tong Guan stood up from his chair and laughed loudly: "Speaking of which, Zhou Ping is still a minister, and you are also a wise man!" ”

"Enxiang praised, Zhengchen just did what he had to do!" Wang Yu bowed quietly and said: "Prison Zhou said in the letter that most of the people in Fangla's army were good people who were held hostage, and asked for the prisoners to be released back to the township, so as not to kill fewer people, so as not to hurt the love of the people; Second, it can also dissociate the military heart of the thief. ”

"Okay, let him go!" Tong Guan was in a happy mood at this time, and agreed to Zhou Ping's request nonchalantly, and said with a smile: "You let Zhou Ping stick to Kipshi Town, and wait until the army arrives before making plans!" ”

"Whoa!"

Wang Yu returned to the outer room, and ordered the messenger of Zhou Ping, Luo She'er, to summon him, and handed the written letter to the other party, saying: "When you go back, tell your lord that all the things he pleaded for have been answered, and let him do it." Speaking of this, he took out a gift list from his bosom and handed it over, saying, "I have already forwarded the gift list he asked me to transfer to Enxiang, and you can bring these back to me!" ”

Seeing this, Luo She'er was stunned, didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, and hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "All are under control, the last general has been ordered by my family's prisoners, if the villain does something wrong, please forgive the sins, don't be-"

"Not really!" Wang Yu said with a smile: "It's not that a certain family thinks this etiquette is thin, I also know that some etiquette in the army is indispensable, but these belongings are also shot down by your family, and I am not a lonely person, but this kind of money is still not collected." Speaking of this, Wang Yu's face became solemn: "You go back and tell your family master that now the court is the time to employ people, and talents like him are good at living, don't worry about not being rich." Do you understand? ”

"Yes!"

Kip Stone Town.

"In this way, Wang Xianggong really doesn't think I'm sending less?"

"Exactly!" Luo She'er replied cautiously: "The villain has repeatedly verified that the prince does not accept it. ”

Speaking of this, Rosher said in a low voice: "If the Lord does not believe, or the villain will go again!" ”

"No need!" Zhou Ping waved his hand, his psychology was quite contradictory at this time. As a time-traveler who has been familiar with this era, he knows very well that the gifts and property between colleagues in the officialdom at that time were not regarded as bribes at all, but were a very ordinary human exchange, although the amount given by Zhou Ping was a bit large, probably equivalent to four or five years of senior military attachés like Wang Yu, but compared to the market in the army at that time, it was not too much. After all, Zhou Ping must not be able to hide such a large windfall, although since ancient times, it can be said that it is natural for generals to privately divide the spoils of war, but Zhou Ping, an outsider who has no background, is not like being dragged out to beat dozens of military sticks on a random charge, or honestly pay the protection fee first. Besides, although the precious utensils, jewels and jade he gave to Tong Guan and Wang Yu were very precious, they were not easy to get rid of, and Zhou Ping didn't want to be a rich man, so it was better to give them to his boss to have a good relationship and leave the money and silk, gold and silver ingots.

"This Wang Yu is really a good official!" Looking at Luo She'er's departing figure, Zhou Ping sighed, although he had not shown it, but Zhou Ping still had a lot of guilt about throwing himself in Xiuzhou as a bait to attract Fang Lajun. There is no doubt that Wang Yu, who served as the commander-in-chief of the front line, was at least aware, but the other party's ethics and expectations of himself at this time made Zhou Ping feel a burst of admiration and goodwill, and this contradictory mood made Zhou Ping feel a little troubled.

"Hey, when the time comes, heaven and earth are all working together, and it is not comfortable to transport heroes. This hero of the world is easy to do, but it is difficult to be a hero to save the country! After all, the Northern Song Dynasty is still over in the end, and the luck is not on your side! Zhou Ping sighed in a low voice.

"Prison!" A voice woke Zhou Ping up from his troubles, he raised his head and saw Li Bao saluting with his hands crossed, pointing to the stone bench on the side and saying, "My brother, there are no outsiders, sit down and talk!" “

Li Bao responded, but just sat down next to the side, Zhou Ping's face became solemn: "Bao, I have an important matter, and I have to be intimate to do it. ”

"Please speak to the prisoner, as long as you do what you can, you should obey your fate!"

Zhou Ping nodded: "You also know, this time in Kipshi Town, we made a lot of money, calculated that we still have the two brothers of the Xue family almost more than one million yuan, I will load the gold and silver ingots and copper coins that are easy to carry together, and calculate that there are about 800,000 yuan, loaded two ships, and plan to transport them back to Jeju, are you willing to take a trip?" ”

Li Bao was stunned for a moment, and asked with some hesitation after half a sound: "Prisoner, this Fang La has not been calmed down yet, so why be in such a hurry, these belongings will not fly." ”

"Hey, the red eyes of wealth!" Zhou Ping sighed: "We don't have any backing, and we got this wealth all of a sudden, if someone in the Xuanfu Division knows about it, and they come down to ask for it, do you say I give it or not?" ”

"This?" Li Bao was stunned for a moment and replied: "But even if you are sent back from prison, can Shangguan still not give it if he speaks?" ”

"I still have some things that are hard to get rid of, but I can just take them and prevaricate." Zhou Ping saw a disapproving look on Li Bao's face, knowing that the other party thought he was stingy, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I feel sorry for these belongings, it's just that people's hearts are not satisfied, there are so many officials in the Xuanfu Division, even if I take all of these, some people take more and less." If you take less, you must have a grudge, and if you take more, you may not speak for me, so instead of taking this money and stuffing those bottomless dog holes, it is better to transport it away first! ”

Li Bao worked as an errand in the front division of the palace, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that Zhou Ping was reasonable, like a random clerk in the Tong Guan Xuanfu Division, he might not be able to help the subordinates, but it was really easy to put some eye medicine on the subordinates and find some trouble. Like this kind of goods that are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, Zhou Ping, a martial artist who has no backing, really can't afford to offend and can't afford to buy it.

"What if someone really stirs up trouble?"

"We have just made a meritorious service, and we are not afraid of it in a short time! Anyway, depending on the situation, I will resign and not do it, with this money, I can still do it for the rest of my life! Speaking of this, Zhou Ping smiled and patted Li Bao's shoulder: "Speaking of which, the chewing wrap of the rest of my life with the two brothers of the Xue family will fall on you, but don't rob the heroes on any road!"
