10,000 taels of silver to lend you some soldiers, this transaction is still cost-effective, your Sichuan army is so poor that you can't even make up the silver for gifts, seeing the sergeant freezing to death and frostbite, it is better to borrow some from me, it will be beneficial to you and me, at least I am not short of silver.

Shi Dayong still has some confidence in successfully borrowing soldiers. However, Deng Wei's reaction was not what he expected, and he stood there stunned, and did not reply for a long time.

Usually this way only shows one thing - people don't want to borrow, and they don't know how to refuse, so they can only remain silent and hope that you will retreat in the face of difficulties, which is good for both parties. If you talk about it, it will hurt your face.

waited and waited, but still couldn't wait for Deng Yu to make a statement, Shi Dayong's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, knowing that this matter seemed hopeless, he couldn't help sighing secretly, people don't want to borrow, and he can't force it to borrow.

It's not always pleasant to spend 10,000 taels of silver, but it is better to be able to help those Sichuan soldiers who lack food and clothing. After all, they are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the country's armed forces are strong, and it is fate to be able to gather in this ice and snow for thousands of miles. If you can pull a handful, you can pull a handful, and if you can't borrow it, forget it, and maybe you can pull a brother in other aspects in the future.

Thinking of this, his mouth opened, and he wanted to say that since Lord Deng was embarrassed, then this matter should be stopped, and the matter of silver should not be taken to heart, and the right to make Shi a heart to Brother Sichuan Jun.

He was about to speak, but he didn't expect Deng Yu to move, he stared at Shi Dayong's mask and asked quietly: "I don't know how many soldiers General Shi wants to borrow?"

Promised? Shi Dayong was stunned, and without thinking, blurted out: "Two thousand." ”

"Two thousand?"

Deng Wei nodded, not showing a surprised expression, but after a while, he shook his head and said: "I only have 5,000 soldiers under my command, and I will borrow you 2,000 at once, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. ”

Shi Dayong said these words suddenly, and he felt that these words still seemed to be a tactful refusal. But what Deng Yu said afterwards made his eyes light up again.

Deng Yu continued: "However, if Wang Hong is also willing to lend you 1,000 soldiers, and my two families will each give 1,000, then this matter will not arouse suspicion." ”

Hearing this, Shi Dayong was overjoyed and said with some excitement: "My lord said that he was willing to lend troops to me?" ”

Seeing that Shi Dayong was a little excited, Deng Wei laughed instead, and said: "Thanks to you, General Shi, can afford these Sichuan army brothers under me, and ask Deng to borrow troops, how can Deng not borrow them?" Besides," Deng Wei sighed, "The brothers are really living a hard life with Deng, if they can eat a few full meals with you and not be frozen to death, it will be their blessing." ”

Hearing this, Shi Dayong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, when the Sichuan army brothers come to my camp, I will treat everyone equally, and I will never be biased, and I should be provided with the same Jinzhou soldiers." In addition, the equipment and food of these two thousand people are all in charge of my Shi Dayong, and I must not be distracted by the adults, Shi can do it when he says, although this adult can rest assured! ”

"Don't call me an adult, outsiders don't know the way, can Deng still not know the way, my Sichuan army is in the eyes of the princes of the court, but your Liao army is a baby bump in the eyes of the court, compared with us, it is really a heaven and a place.

Speaking of which, Brother Shi, a general, can have more weight than Deng, the general soldier, if Brother Shi can afford Deng, we will be commensurate with brothers in the future. Everyone is a guest army, and they are all subject to high diving, maybe they will have to win each other over at some point. Deng Yu said very emotionally, sincerely, not fake at all, obviously from the heart.

Suddenly, his mind moved, and he blurted out: "If you don't dislike it, how about Deng Mou become friends with you for eight worships?" ”

Shi Dayong smiled: "I can't ask for it, I can bow to the adult, and the last general is high!" ”

The other party agreed, Deng Wei couldn't help but be overjoyed, raised his hand and pointed to the sky, and said solemnly: "I don't wait for the martial artist to talk about such a false courtesy, what kind of incense case is there, in the future, you and I will be brothers, depending on the age, I am afraid that you are not as long as me, so I will entrust you to be this big brother." ”

Shi Dayong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "The eldest brother is above, and the younger brother is worshipped!" ”

Deng Wei is older than him, Shi Dayong naturally will not rob this big brother, and he is also quite in love with the other party, Deng Wei is not like other military officers, he still has a bit of true temperament, and he will not bow to himself.

"Congratulations to the two adults for marrying Jin Lan!"

This knot came too suddenly, Jiang Wanli and Shao Wu were a little baffled, but the general was able to become a brother with a chief military officer, and as a subordinate, he was naturally happy for him. Although Deng Wei's Sichuan army can't fight, but there are thousands of people, plus Wang Hong's thousands of people, the strength is still not to be underestimated, to a certain extent, it has become the Jinzhou army's Olympic aid, if Gao Qiqian really has something to do, I can't say that I can also use the strength of the Sichuan army, so as not to be completely passive, the second general thought.

"Brother Xian, please get up!" Deng Yu was sincerely happy, stepped forward to help Shi Dayong, patted his chest and said: "There is no problem in borrowing 1,000 soldiers for your brother, but whether Wang Hong can borrow it or not, you have to ask him to know." But I don't think it's a big problem, he is afraid that he can't ask for a thousand soldiers less, and he can just eat an extra thousand people's empty salary. ”

Shi Dayong was very grateful: "Wang Hong asked the eldest brother to help a lot, and after the matter is completed, the younger brother will be grateful." ”

Deng Wei waved his hand and said: "Forget it if you thank you or not, although you are good for your brother, you will never be greedy for your brother's money, as long as you can treat these two thousand brothers well." Besides, you have already paid 10,000 taels of silver for the two of us, how can I ask you to break the bank again. This soldier lends you a trivial matter, you just don't pay it back, there is no problem, it should be a meeting gift from my eldest brother, and it is a big deal to report a death in the future, and I can't say that I can eat some pension for my brother. Deng Yuguo is true temperament, and he is not taboo at all, and he even bluntly said the sympathy that he wanted to engulf the court with the death of a thousand people, which shows that he really regards Shi Dayong as his brother now.

Hearing Deng Wei say that this soldier should not be returned, Shi Dayong was still slightly stunned, he was not ready to return it, if Deng Wei wanted someone in the future, he would deal with it with a procrastination. How can this well-trained soldier be returned to him, isn't it really a miscalculation. But Deng Wei said so generously, which made him feel a little ashamed, he was calculating other people's soldiers, but people made it clear that they would not return it, in comparison, it seemed that Deng Wei was much more noble than himself. As for how Deng Yu reported the death of the 1,000 people, Shi Dayong didn't care about it, if it were him, I am afraid he would do the same.

Shi Dayong is lucky, if it is changed to ten years later, I am afraid that he will give him more money, Deng Yu will not give him a soldier, because at that time, that soldier is really the capital of each military general to take care of his family and save his life, there is everything with soldiers, without soldiers, you are a bullshit. Now, the generals support the army and respect themselves, and the self-respect of the army has not yet formed a trend, and most of the soldiers are still in awe of the imperial power and are loyal to state affairs.

Deng Wei and Shi Dayong talked to Shi Dayong about how to hand over the thousand soldiers without being noticed by outsiders, and when they were about the same, Deng Wei suddenly asked a little strangely: "Oh, by the way, where is the brother's family, the family is a big family, or the family is in business, or there are relatives who are officials in the court?" ”

What does this do, he asked? Shi Dayong was stunned for a moment, did not hide it, and replied instinctively: "The younger brother is a Changping family, the family is average, the father and mother have long passed away, the younger brother has been in the army with his brother since he was a child, and after the brother unfortunately died in Yongping, the younger brother will be at home."

Shi Dayong wanted to say that there was no one at home, but somehow a spirit, remembering that the owner of the body seemed to have a sister at home!

Khan, he has been possessing this body for so long, and he even forgot that he has a sister, Shi Dayong is very embarrassed, and his face is very embarrassed.

"I still have a sister in the family, and I married a show in this county as my wife." almost used the word "heard", but fortunately he changed his words quickly, Rao is so, after speaking, Shi Dayong still blushed a little.

Speaking of this sister, Shi Dayong is a little unkind, he has been in this era for a few months, but he has not written a letter to this sister, and he has no property to give, let alone how his sister is doing, he is also a senior military general in the imperial court, and it is natural to take care of his sister's family, but he forgot about this sister. Even when he entered Beijing to offer Jiejie, he didn't think of going back to Changping, if the owner of the body knew about it, he would definitely scold him for being too unconscionable.

Listening to Shi Dayong's words, Deng Yu couldn't help but wonder: "With a family like a brother, how can he be so arrogant?" The implication naturally refers to the 10,000 taels of silver for himself and the 50,000 taels of silver for Lin Jiantai, the 60,000 taels of silver is a huge amount of money, if the family is a big family, or the family is in business, it is naturally not a large amount, but without the support of the family, everyone will be surprised to take out such a large amount of silver.

"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, when the younger brother was in Shahe, he got a batch of goods from the rebel general Chen Shi, and he also had tens of thousands of taels of silver. The younger brother has never been good at this external thing, as long as the money is worth spent, it will be all spent, and the younger brother will not frown. It's a big deal to earn it later. Shi Dayong told Deng Yuan very frankly where the money came from.

Hearing this answer, Deng Wei suddenly realized that it was normal for the military general to seize the private possession, but if any of the soldiers led the troops won the battle and did not intercept the battle edge, it would be abnormal.

said with emotion: "I have long known that my brother has a heroic style, but compared with my brother, my eldest brother is very stingy." ”

Shi Dayong said with a smile: "The eldest brother has no extra silver, if he can make a windfall like the younger brother one day, I'm afraid he will be like a rich man, hehe." ”

"It's not early, so why don't you rest in my tent for the night?" Seeing that the night was dark and surprisingly cold, Deng Yu had the intention to leave Shi Dayong and his party to rest in his camp.

Shi Dayong said: "There is still a cadre in the battalion waiting, and they can't get accurate news, and they are not at ease. The eldest brother is kind and the brother understands it, but the younger brother still goes back well, otherwise the people below will not feel at ease. ”

Deng Wei nodded understandingly: "It's okay, then I won't send you as a brother, tomorrow I will go to Wang Hong to talk about borrowing troops, and I will send someone to inform you at that time." ”

"Brother Lao is bothered."

At that moment, Shi Dayong solemnly thanked Deng Yuan, and then under the escort of Deng Yuan, he left the camp of the Sichuan army and went straight back to Pingdugou.

Early the next morning, Lin Jiantai sent two people over.
