Chapter 5: The Opposite!
"What, you're at war with the Tartars?" The general kingdom was shocked when he heard this.
The kingdom doesn't have too many ideas now, as long as he holds the pass, he doesn't ask for merit, but he wants no fault, he is waiting for a news.
"My lord, we have killed five enemies!" Li Zicheng bowed to the kingdom.
Wang Guo looked at Li Guo behind Li Zicheng, and found that Li Guo was carrying five bloody human heads in his hands, and judging from the hair ornament of the human head, it was a Tartar.
"My lord, although we won a small victory, it is also considered a battle achievement, but unfortunately one soldier was shot by a stray arrow from a Tartar and died. Please reward the meritorious service, and please give some bereavement to the dead soldier to boost morale. Li Zicheng was full of hope for money, and the money was owed for several months.
While the kingdom was about to speak, the kingdom's concubine came out. Because this is at the border, the conditions are difficult, and the women don't care too much about the number of courtesies.
"Master, I heard that there is another war?" The concubine's expression was a little nervous, after all, she was a woman.
"It's not! We killed the Tartars five! Li Guo held the blood-covered head of the Tartar aloft.
"Ahh When the concubine of the kingdom saw the bloody human head, she screamed in fright and turned pale.
"Let go!" The kingdom reprimanded, ordering the leader of his own army to keep a few heads in lime. Then he comforted the concubine in a low voice, helped the concubine and walked back to the inner house, completely ignoring Li Zicheng's request for rewards and bereavements.
"That's it? What about rewards? Li Guo said.
"yes!" Yuan Zongdi also said suspiciously: "Is the kingdom confused? Aren't you afraid of losing the morale of the army if you don't reward or reward you like this? ”
"Eh, don't be in a hurry, it takes time to declare your military exploits, how can you say that Wang Shen will be confused." Li Zicheng's heart is still full of hope.
Li Guo and the others sighed incessantly.
The general kingdom was not confused at all, he was very sober in his heart, and after the war exploits were reported, he got an inside message that he was going to be transferred to Yangzhou.
The kingdom had long expected this, because he gave Lu Jiuming, the great eunuch of the trilateral prison army, a Dadong pearl, which Lu Jiuming said liked very much. This is also the real reason why the kingdom has been daring to eat empty salaries recently, and even deduct military salaries.
Wrapped around the waist of 100,000 yuan, riding a crane down Yangzhou, the kingdom that is already very obese cannot ride a crane, however, the beauty is on the side, it is not easy to be a rich man in Yangzhou, so now the kingdom cherishes every big money, even if it is transferred to Yangzhou, there is a chance to make a fortune.
This is just wishful thinking on the part of the kingdom, and the morale of the soldiers has fallen to the bottom. However, ordinary soldiers still did not dare to resist, except for Li Guo.
Li Guo made friends with a pro-soldier of the kingdom, and that pro-soldier was also a Mizhi person, and he was a fellow countryman with Li Guo. As the saying goes, when a fellow sees a fellow, his eyes are full of tears. Li Guo and the pro-soldier did not have tears, but under Li Guo's deliberate low profile, the pro-soldier as a fellow villager felt a little superior, so he took Li Guo as a neighbor and told Li Guo about some things in the kingdom to show that his status was good.
On this day, Li Guo saw his own soldiers coming over happily, so he asked, "Fifth Brother Zhao, is there any happy event?" So happy? ”
The soldier named Zhao Wu said proudly, "Hey, you don't know yet, your brother is going to Jiangnan!" ”
"Is there such a good thing?" Li Guoqi said.
Zhao Wu triumphant.
Li Guo was about to ask, but Zhao Wu was summoned by others and left.
Li Guo lowered his head and thought about it, something was wrong. So, Li Guo went to find Yuan Zongdi, because he knew that Yuan Zongdi still had a few dollars of silver.
"Brother Yuan!" Li Guo beckoned to Yuan Zongdi.
"Fill it up, what's the matter?" Yuan Zongdi walked over.
"The situation does not seem right, and the kingdom seems to be leaving." Li Guo told the story of meeting Zhao Wu.
"What are we going to do when he's gone? Won't the money be wasted? Yuan Zongdi was in a hurry.
"Not really, so I'm here to talk to you." Li Guo whispered beside Yuan Zongdi.
"Supplementally, is the news really reliable?" Yuan Zongdi's eyes widened.
"Brother Yuan, I remember that you have five coins of silver, bring it!" Li Guo stretched out his hand.
Yuan Zongdi took out five coins of silver from his arms and handed it to Li Guo, "Make up for it, what do you want to do?" ”
"I'll go find out the news again!" Li Guo said this and this to Li Guo, and Yuan Zongdi nodded yes.
When the pro-soldier Zhao Wu saw that Li Guo was going to invite him to drink, he was overjoyed, and happily followed Li Guo while saying insincerely, "Make up for it, you are too polite, where do you have this spare money for bitter gourd and bitter jujube!" ”
"Fifth Brother Zhao, I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother, I only have five dollars of silver, but I heard that my brother is leaving, so I naturally want to invite him, but because of the lack of money, in addition to two pots of clay roast, I am afraid that our brothers can only boil soybeans with some salt and wine." Li Guo had a smile on his face.
"That's good, that's good, as the saying goes, it's not slow to treat wine without food, brother, I accept your love!" Zhao Wu said. Although the kingdom's treatment of their own soldiers was stronger, it was only a full meal, but the wine had not smelled for a long time.
The two of them happily drank wine with pickles.
A pot of soil burned his stomach, and Li Guo opened the conversation. "Fifth Brother Zhao, you are still treated well as your own soldiers, although the soldiers' salaries have also been deducted, but there are still a few pennies left, we will be miserable, and we will not see a big son."
"Hehe, how can you compare with us, don't worry brother, I'll talk about it when I have a chance, and find a way to get you to the pro-soldier team, but it's a little late now." Zhao Wu hesitated.
"When I saw my brother, I refused to help." Li Guo pretended to complain.
"What?" Zhao Wu hurriedly confessed: "Actually, you don't know, because brother, I am about to follow General Wang to Jiangnan to enjoy happiness." ”
"What? Is Wang Shen leaving? ”
"No, don't tell others about this, he is on the path of the great eunuch Lu Jiuming, I heard that the Ministry of War has sent a letter to transfer the king and the general to Yangzhou." Zhao Wu lowered his tone.
"But what about our money and the reward from the previous period? Is he going to go in the soup as soon as he leaves? Li Guo sighed.
"Brother, what else do you want to pay for the silver, tell you, the silver has already arrived in the hands of the king's generals, let him be merciful and give you money, isn't it a dream? In the next few days, I will talk to the captain of the pro-soldier again, maybe General Wang will be merciful and promise to take you to Yangzhou too! Zhao Wu looked righteous.
"Okay, brother, you bothered about this. Come, brother, let's have another drink! Li Guo raised his glass
"Come on, brother, it's done!" Zhao Wuyi raised his neck and did it again.
Seeing off Zhao Wu, Yuan Zongdi walked out of the corner.
"Brother Yuan, did you hear everything? These officials don't care if we live or die! Li Guo provoked.
"His grandmother's! If you can't do it, you will do him, this day is really not a human life, but I am afraid that my brother will not agree. Yuan Zongdi knew that Li Zicheng had always had the intention of making contributions.
"It's okay, Brother Yuan, you contact your subordinates, I'll go to Jie Xuan to discuss, Jie Xuan has already rebelled, we all have weapons ready, see the situation tonight, if it doesn't work, just do it!" Li Guo instructed Yuan Zongdi.
"Okay! Make up for it, I listen to you. The two men began to go their separate ways.
The general kingdom had already stripped off her clothes and was about to get into the warm quilt of the concubine, this little woman in the south of the Yangtze River was really delicious.
At that time, the kingdom heard a commotion outside. "What's the matter?" The kingdom was angry.
Someone had already inquired about the reason, and a personal soldier said outside, "My lord, it's some soldiers who want to ask for money." ”
"it." The kingdom put on its clothes and walked out, and at this time it was disturbed, and I couldn't help but be angry.
"Look at that bastard bastard who doesn't sleep at night! Add to the congestion here! The kingdom took up the whip in his hand.
"Li Zicheng, fucking go back to sleep for me!" Seeing Li Zicheng come with some people, the kingdom is a whip when he goes up, and the kingdom is also from a horse, but the obsessed women are no longer as brave as they were in the past, but the kingdom knows that against these pawns, the momentum must not fall.
"My lord, I heard that the military salary and reward have arrived, and we are here to ask for money!" Li Zicheng was whipped, but he didn't hide, but forced himself to hold back his anger and asked.
"You rabbit cubs, Lao Tzu is enough to give you face for eating and drinking, and you need money, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know your details, you are a good person who can come here to be a soldier? I don't want to check you out! I gave you a way to live! "The kingdom will not give money.
"Isn't this forcing us to rebel!" Li Zicheng was about to hold back.
"Grandma, dare to say such a rebellious thing in front of Lao Tzu!" And the kingdom lifted up its whip again and made a threat to strike it.
"Your grandma's!" A figure rushed out from behind Li Zicheng, raised the waist knife in his hand, and slashed at Wang Guo's face, Wang Guo was slashed to the ground with a pop, and it was Li Guo who shot like a tiger.
More than a dozen pro-soldiers were picking up swords to resist, Yuan Zongdi raised a single shovel and smashed the head of a pro-soldier, and Liu Zongmin took a ghost-headed knife to cut off the head of a pro-soldier.
Li Zicheng was also so angry that he pulled out the Huama sword, pointed to the sky, and shouted, "It's the opposite!" ”
Li Guo's heart became happy, and he finally rebelled.
