Just when Master Ma and Liu Minghui were staring at all the actions of Lord Niu, they didn't expect that in this struggle, the protagonist was not Lord Niu, but the hooligan who went to suppress the bandits-Zhou Xiaocao.

The idea of snatching money from the hands of bandits and giving it to their own soldiers can only be thought up by outsiders like Sun Tianshi, and only by Zhou Xiaocao, a stinky and shameless animal, can he do it. That is to say, Zhou Xiaocao's behavior, just like the Taoist classic "Tao Te Ching", is "almost Taoist".

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. ”

This famous quote from the Tao Te Ching has been quoted countless times, but it has been used incorrectly nine times out of ten. What it means is not that God is not merciful or that the saints are not merciful, but that the Tao is natural, and it is necessary to do nothing. God and the saints want the people to be self-reliant, to find out the true meaning of survival, and not to interfere with it. This is Lao Tzu's fundamental thought, not that God is brutal.

Of course, Lord Tobe Shangshu Niu also doesn't know what to do, and his every move is under the surveillance of the Zhongwang Party. When did he go to the toilet, how much of what color he pulled, how long did he go to bed with his concubine, did he mention anything about raising military salaries between the beds, etc., etc., if he knew the truth, he would have to go to Liu Mingli, the emperor, to complain. Is there any fucking privacy to speak of?

At this time, Zhou Xiaocao naturally didn't know this. Because what he's going to worry about has little to do with it. The conspiracy of the loyal king and his party is indeed vicious. But. After his own idea, I believe that there are still many capable people around Liu Mingli, and he should be able to understand the essence of his attention. Even, there is play.

Zhou Xiaocao will not worry about these at all. Don't talk about others, just an old and cunning character like Lao Du. should be able to help the emperor do this well. Besides, those guys in the military department aren't all stupid.

At the foot of the mountain, the Yellow River rushes.

Riverside. Zhou Xiaocao gathered 4,000 soldiers and surrounded them in one place, so that the soldiers faced the Yellow River. Zhou Xiaocao, floating red. There are also the four charms of begonias. Six people turned their backs to the Yellow River and faced these forbidden soldiers.

Zhou Xiaocao looked at these soldiers, with the rolling Yellow River behind him.

"Now I can tell you about your mission this time. Now, look back, look at the top of this mountain, and tell me what you see! ”

Four thousand people looked back together. Look up at the mountain.

On the hill, the lights are bright. Obviously. There are a lot of people on it.

Zhou Xiaocao stared coldly at the mountain, and said, "Soldiers! On top of the mountain, there are bandits, a thousand bandits! Bandits, who do not produce, only live by burning, killing and looting. They don't create wealth, but they can squander it. Knowing what is the way of the road, can't you pay your military salary? Money, all swallowed up by these bandits who hide filth and filth! Now, we need to take back the money that belongs to us! ”

As soon as they heard that there was money, these sergeants were also red-eyed, and the crowd was excited, eager to kill the mountain immediately and take the money into their pockets.

Zhou Xiaocao pressed his hand, raised his voice, and said, "But, why are we four thousand people here to suppress the bandits?" The money we desperately won back was to be given to the 400,000 forbidden army. In other words, 1 percent of us have to work for 100 percent. Would you like to? ”

Four thousand people, you look at me, I look at you, but they don't speak. This is the characteristic temperament of military personnel, and the fact that they do not speak does not mean that they have no opinions. On the contrary, they have a big opinion. What Zhou Xiaocao said is not wrong, these people, who only account for one percent of all the forbidden troops, are asking for wages for the thousands of forbidden troops, this job, but the work of pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers, who is not happy.

Zhou Xiaocao saw their expressions, and a curved arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. Hehe, that's what I want with your expressions! Before the other generals set off, they did not dare to tell ordinary soldiers anything for fear of damaging their morale. But who is Zhou Xiaocao? That is the first shameless person in the universe who has been invincible for thousands of years, and he just wants to tell everyone in the most naked-naked words that we are here to make money~!

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Not only are you unhappy, but this general is also worthless for you!" However, the person you are following is not someone else, but me Zhou Xiaocao! I just want to make sure that you, in addition to the money you deserve, will share the extra part with everyone! Think about it, how much money is going to be? In addition, for the wounded and killed, the pension given by the general will be ten times that of the imperial court! ”

"Wow~~"

Hearing this, the four thousand people were very angry, and the bandits on the mountain were already frightened because of the appearance of the four thousand forbidden troops, and when they heard such a roar, they were even more frightened.

Zhou Xiaocao pointed behind him: "In front of us, there is this surging Yellow River!" This river is our mother river, it represents the excellent quality of our Chinese nation, and it is a symbol of our spirit! Now, let us swear to our mother river that we will not exterminate the bandits on the mountain, and we will not take back our own money, and we will not give up! ”

"Exterminate the bandits! Don't give up! ”

Four thousand people shouted at the same time, and the sound shook the world.

Piaohong whispered beside Zhou Xiaocao and said, "I didn't expect that you guy is very good at boosting morale." ”

Zhou Xiaocao immediately lost the overlord aura just now, replaced it with his own unique obscene temperament, and said with a smile: "Of course, this general is not covered!" Can the bandits on the mountain have the level of General Ben? ”

"Not necessarily!"

Piaohong whispered, her eyes looked at the mountain, and she couldn't see what the expression was: "You also saw it, on the mountain, there is also a Xiucai village owner." ”

Zhou Xiaocao smiled: "Xiucai rebelled, and it won't work for three years!" General Ben won't take him seriously. The owner of the Xiucai village is just a man who has been forced to become a madman by life. If it were me, I would be indignant, become an official and become the prime minister, and then go back and clean up that Kang Boquan, which is as easy as a snap! ”

Piaohong turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaocao: "Oh? I didn't expect you to have this insight. So, how will you clean him up? ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "all the women over the age of five and under the age of fifty in their family - of course it's impossible!" General Ben hasn't gone hungry to that point. However, it was still done to make all the people in their family slaves. ”

"Despicable and shameless!"

Piaohong scolded in a low voice and ignored him.

The four charms of Begonia secretly laughed, what kind of virtue this master of their own family is, they are clear. I think that at the beginning, when they followed their master Zhao Zhigao to join Zhou Xiaocao's door for the first time, Zhou Xiaocao also asked to touch their bodies, but they were frightened. Although in fact Zhou Xiaocao was just taking revenge on them for beating him all over his body at that time, it did scare them away.

Hehe, if Zhou Xiaocao, the master of his own family, sees a beautiful woman and doesn't step forward to tease, then it is not his character. I heard that he even dared to flirt with a princess, let alone a floating red?

Zhou Xiaocao teased the red girl, was in a good mood, and shouted: "Where are the heads of the various departments?" ”

Suddenly, eight generals came out. These 4,000 sergeants were all selected from the eight forbidden armies, each with 500 people, so Zhou Xiaocao brought eight generals over.

These eight people came to Zhou Xiaocao's side and said in unison: "General Zhou, please command!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao squinted his eyes, looked at the brightly lit mountain, and ordered: "Let's take the strategy of attacking the east and the west." Eight men and horses, divided into four teams, attacked the mountain from four directions: southeast, northwest, and north. With torches as a signal, one place was attacked, and when they all came to the rescue, another group of people and horses marched in with a clamour. They are only a thousand, and we are four times as many as them. As a result, they will inevitably be exhausted and will have trouble staying up all night. In this way, our chance of victory is at dawn! ”

The eight people shouted in unison: "The general is wise! The last general and others will obey General Zhou's orders! (To be continued......)
