Chapter 33, a rare good general
Feng Luoxue came out, and Zu Zhao sat inside, wiping his forehead and pondering. Zhang Gong and the other five people are the five commanders of the east, west, south, north and middle under his command, who are responsible for the army management of the five military camps. Now each of them can control no less than a thousand people, and they are all elite troops, if one of them really has the heart to surrender to the enemy, then the losses must be not small.
But they have followed themselves for a long time, and they are loyal to themselves, why did they rebel, they are not the kind of people who forget their righteousness, this Zu Zhao can be sure, if they were really that kind of people, then they could have left a long time ago, and they would not have followed until now. The only explanation, then, is that some of their handles are being grasped, or that they are threatened by the most vulnerable inside.
Fortunately, it was discovered early and did not cause a mistake, otherwise if their hostile forces knew that they had different intentions and wanted to fight alone, they were afraid that the imperial court would have sent someone to encircle and suppress him, and he would be escorted back to the capital to ask for the crime. I think that Lu Zhi was loyal to fight against the Yellow Turban Army before, but because of Zhang Jiao's practice, he was defeated, and people with ill intentions made trouble in the court, saying that he had different intentions = deliberately did not resist the enemy, causing the court to send Zhonglang to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
That Dong Zhuo is naturally not a good bird, if it weren't for the rescue of Huangfu Song and others, I'm afraid that Lu Zhi would have encountered an accident a long time ago, this troubled world is really not so easy to mix, it is easy to achieve a hero, and it is easy to destroy a hero.
Zu Zhao couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he secretly thought to himself, next, although he has to let go of some rights to his subordinates, but his own army, he must have his own absolute management rights, although he will listen to the words of other generals and strategists, but just like he talked to Feng Luoxue before, he must have a veto, otherwise it will be really difficult to do in the end.
Zu Zhao thought for a long time, his heart was unhappy, and he slowly walked out of the camp and visited around. When a general saw him, he naturally hurriedly greeted him and took him around. Seeing that his troops are so well-trained, Zu Zhao's heart is better, but now his men and horses are too small, and the stock is insufficient, within a few days, the world will be completely disrupted, and now he must take precautions and think of increasing his army number and food reserves.
However, the unprovoked expansion of the army will naturally arouse the suspicion of the imperial court, and Zu Zhao pondered hard, what kind of reason can he make the expansion of the army logically, which must have war. But I can't take the initiative to go to war, this is against my conscience and will, and at the same time, the people don't want to see it. But in any case, in order to dominate the world in the future, these are necessary, no matter what the reason, as long as there is an opportunity, he decides that he must try his best to expand his army.
However, the primary task now is to engage in development, and its own chamber of commerce is not widely distributed now, so we must find ways to expand to all counties across the country, one is to make money, and the other is to contact and inquire about information. Of course, the first task is to make money, as for military intelligence and real-time investigation, there is naturally an exclusive team, but you also have to use the safe haven of the Chamber of Commerce.
Let's say that after Feng Luoxue came out, he also thought about Zu Zhao's arrangement, and was very impressed by Zu Zhao's plan in his heart. She came to the army, found her cronies, directly conveyed Zu Zhao's order, sent a group of people to Zhang Gong and other five people's homes to quietly monitor them, and ordered them that all messengers from these five families should be arrested and sent back to her for trial. Among the people sent, naturally, including the marksmen who wore through the Yang at a hundred paces, as long as they found a carrier pigeon flying out, they would all shoot them.
After everything was arranged, Feng Luoxue personally went to the prison to see the two men, and locked several soldiers pretending to be criminals in the next room to the two people in order to eavesdrop on their conversations. Feng Luoxue entered the inside and personally ordered the jailer to open the door and press the sword to enter.
Seeing a woman with an extraordinary temperament, both guys are eye-catching. They had seen Feng Luoxue before, but they didn't expect that she, a woman, would come to this dirty and messy prison. It was expected that she must have come to ask for news, the two had a tacit understanding in their hearts, and after seeing Feng Luoxue, their eyes lit up at first, and then they each turned their heads and didn't look at him.
Feng Luoxue walked up to them and said: "Our general said, as long as you are willing to say who you are instructed by and who in our army contacted you, then we will not only hold you accountable, but also give you brocade clothes and jade silks, if you want to leave, we will definitely not stop you, if you stay, then with your ability, high-ranking officials and Houlu will be indispensable to you." How about it, should you consider thinking about speaking up? If you toast and don't eat and drink, and then you will be beaten to the death, is it not the same? ”
"Don't talk about it here, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set, if you want to kill, you will kill, if I frown, then I am not a man." One of the men snapped.
Feng Luoxue smiled leisurely and said, "What a man." Well, when the punishment comes, don't cry and call your mother. After saying that, she turned her head to another man and asked, "What about you, don't you also take the great punishment in your eyes?" ”
"I'm not afraid of death, but what kind of punishment are you afraid of? If you have any means, you can use it, and if I scream, I am not a person. The man said.
"Okay, have backbone, I'll see how long you can survive." Feng Luoxue snorted coldly and walked out. Later, he explained to the jailer that whoever wanted to see the two men would be allowed to go, but he must inform her as soon as possible. And you have to be careful not to let people rob them, or kill them, or anything like that.
The jailer and the people she sent swore that she and General Zu Zhao would rest assured that nothing would happen to them, and that they would be guarded by their lives.
"Whether you want to torture them or not, maybe they can't stand it anymore and say." One of the military officers sent by Feng Luoxue asked.
Feng Luoxue shook her head and said, "No, the general said that you can't torture them now, but you must treat them well and give them enough food on time." Now we are fighting for patience and wisdom, but we can't mess up the battle first. ”
"Whoa." The crowd replied.
After leaving the prison, Feng Luoxue returned to the military camp, but Zu Zhao was missing, and when asked, it turned out that he was accompanied by other generals to inspect everywhere. Feng Luoxue couldn't help but smile indifferently, it seems that this general is quite responsible, he is very concerned about his army, and he is also a very resourceful person, with the state of his army step by step, the economy is also developing step by step, plus his understanding of the general trend of the world, he will definitely achieve a great cause in the future, and he must be right to follow him.
It was still early at the moment, and Feng Luoxue didn't plan to go to Zu Zhao, she decided to go to the camp of the five military commanders to have a look, and by the way, she sighed at their tone, and revealed the news of the capture of the two fine works to them, to see what their reaction was, and if it was really one of them who was an inner ghost, they would definitely take action, or kill people, or save them at all costs.
Feng Luoxue went to the camp one by one to sit in the camp to investigate, but the results were a little disappointed, the five people were shocked by the news, and they couldn't see anything unusual, because they all proposed to force confessions from the two people on a large scale. Feng Luoxue shook her head one by one and said that she couldn't bear it now. Of course, the news that she was tracking down the inner ghost was naturally not revealed, she just went to find out, but after all, she didn't gain anything. Those five are all people who have come over in the shadow of swords and swords, and their psychological quality is absolutely excellent.
However, Zhang Gong's unintentional words that sounded normal made Feng Luoxue suspicious, and when she was talking to Zhang Gong at that time, Zhang Gong suddenly asked her if she had found anything on those two people.
Feng Luoxue hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "I found out a few maps, all of which are about our army deployment and the grain and grass reserves, it seems that they just sneaked in to investigate our army's military situation, and now we have been wondering how they sneaked in through the rush checkpoint, these two people are powerful, so the general does not advocate large-scale extortion of confessions from them, it will be useless." Feng Luoxue deliberately didn't mention the map marked with the secret route, if he did, it would obviously be to tell him that they had now discovered that there was an inner ghost. To catch ghosts, of course, you can't let them know that they are going to hunt ghosts now.
"And what is the general going to do?" Zhang Gong asked.
"Hold them in custody first, and the information they have found will not be able to pass on, and there will be no harm to our army, and before we find out who they are, we will naturally hold on to their lives. Otherwise, if we kill the two of them, the enemy will definitely send people again, and then I don't know if we can catch them. Feng Luoxue said.
Zhang Gong said: "The general is really wise. But what if they run away? ”
Feng Luoxue sighed deliberately and said, "It's not unreasonable for you to worry, after all, the guards in the prison are not very strict, but even if they escape from the prison, they may not be able to escape from our military camp." So don't worry too much about this. Zhang Tongbing, there are some people in prison who are short of manpower now, can you send a few people here to help? Feng Luoxue said this on purpose, because he felt that this Zhang Gong was the inner ghost.
Zhang Gong hesitated for a moment and said: "In this case, I will select a few people to help, if you appear in such a spy, you have to guard against it, this is where our base camp is located, if they leak the secret, it will be terrible." ”
"This is very good, then please ask the commander to select a few capable people to help in prison, and when this matter is over, I will definitely repay the general for your merits, and your benefits will be indispensable at that time." Feng Luoxue said.
"This is a lowly duty, and how dare there be any service. You are resting here now, and I will immediately select a few shrewd and capable people in the army and hand them over to you. Zhang Gong said.
Feng Luoxue nodded in agreement, sat at the table and waited for Zhang Gong to choose a shrewd person. She looked at his back and sighed in her heart, if Zhang Gong was really a traitor, I don't know what Zu Zhao would do, Zhang Gong is a rare good general.
