"Master, this is the place where the military pay is locked."

After another three days, He Tianfeng brought a map and handed it to Shi Feiwan. Some locations are circled on the map. Shi Fei glanced at it and asked, "All there?" ”

"Probably yes. came to these locations in northern Chu. Chubei is so big, those things can't be hidden there when they pass through the grain road. He Tianfeng said: "But it is tightly blocked, and I can't go into the warehouse to check, I only know that these places have been sealed, and I am not sure if it is military salary." ”

It's not too late, thoughtful. Seven days have passed since the day of the Welcoming Drive. The imperial court's military salary still hasn't arrived, and the Chu Emperor picked up the Lord He according to the law. He would rather be taken off his black gauze hat than be convicted, but he still did not release the imperial court's salary, and used various excuses to prevaricate. Now it seems that even if the Queen Mother sacrifices some people, she is unwilling to let go of this Chubei military power easily. As soon as Lord He was finished, Emperor Chu took advantage of this opportunity to propose a new person to replace him, and let him take over the whole process of military pay for Qincha. Only the Lord Qincha took over this task, but the officials below did not cooperate, and the stumbling incidents were endless for a while, and it was really a bit tragic for a certain adult to fight alone. But now Emperor Chu is not good at picking them all. First, every official has a staggered and complex background of power behind him, and it is not easy to pick up the chaos and disorder of the society, and it is not that it can be done, and second, there is no suitable person who can be promoted to the position now, and third, now that a new war is imminent, it is really not the time for a big change of blood in the court. Fourth, although the Queen Mother does not have much military power, there seem to be a lot of hidden pile forces underneath, and she is not defenseless.

For example, right now, it's not too late to ask a few more questions. He Tianfeng talked about the fact that there were many people guarding the handles in these locations on the map.

"Master, even if it's really these locations, what can we do? Is it difficult to grab it directly? He Tianfeng blinked curiously, holding his chin with a look of interest.

"What, can't you grab it?" It's not too late to ask.

He Tianfeng couldn't tell for a moment whether he was joking or serious, and said, "Master, it's not good to grab it directly." Although there are a lot of people in your army, you really made a move, but you weren't directly held by those people with braids? robbed the imperial court salary, maybe they beat it up and said that the northern army of Chu was anti-will, or directly blamed the master for your poor leadership, and used this to force you to step down. It is the Holy One who protects you, but you have violated such a big military discipline, and those dog officials can talk about the law of the country again. It's one thing for the military salary to have something happen on the road and it hasn't been handed down, but it's another thing for us to rob it ourselves. It's really successful in snatching it, master, you have to bear a capital crime on your head. If you are allowed to escape the national law every time, the emperor will not be able to say it. ”

Shi Feiwan snorted, "If you don't rob it, won't it be civilized to talk to them?" ”

The river sky wind deflated.

"The people in the camp are not easy to rob, aren't there still you?" Shi Fei's eyes were raised.

He Tianfeng suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Aren't bandits used to rob? You go and grab it. This sin is borne by the bandits, and the military salary has been robbed, and the blame is not on my head. ”

It's not too late to say. If she takes someone to rob her, she will definitely be caught by someone and talk about things again, it is indeed easy to make trouble for herself and Emperor Chu.

But what if the robbers did it? This sin is that they know that they have done it, and they are not to blame themselves on the surface.

"But master, it's not that easy." He Tianfeng understood what it meant when he came over, and said: "The armed defense around Niangniang is really not weak. We...... It is the joint force of the eighteen villages, and I am afraid that I will not be able to grab it. ”

Shi Fei said lately: "It doesn't matter, no matter how many people there are, there are no more than us." ”

"But master, you don't mean ......"

"Borrow more of your brethren's garments and give them to your brothers in the camp to try." It's not too late to say.

“……”

Two days later.

There was a big incident in northern Chu: it is said that the military salaries, food, medicines, and salaries in northern Chu were all robbed by bandits overnight! When something happened to the military pay, the officials who were in charge of escorting the pay could no longer make up any reason for being delayed on the road. The military salary was robbed, and the official in charge of their escort had the main responsibility, long live the fury, even if he punished many officials involved! At the beginning, the military salary was not robbed, but was only put on the road, and these officials could always find all kinds of excuses to rationalize this delay.

Now that the military salary has been robbed, there is no longer a reasonable excuse to get away with it. Long live this punishment, no matter how well those officials communicate with each other, there is no more quibbling.

It's the bandits' salary, so it's natural to blame that it's not too late!

But the people began to worry: Why are there so many bandits in Dachu? What should I do if this military salary is robbed!

Who knows, the day after the Chu Emperor finished investigating several officials, the bandits actually sent a letter to the imperial court, saying that "the conscience is really disturbed, so the military salary is returned." As a result, the loads of food, military salaries, and medicine began to be smoothly transported to the army.

At first, the officials questioned that the bandits were disguised by the Northern Chu Army, and the Northern Chu Army was intent on confronting the imperial court. But later, I checked the identities of several people they caught - that girl's background was really born as a bandit!

No, the officials were so angry that they vomited blood, but they had nothing to say, and the blame could not be taken at all.

There are no longer worries about food and medicine, and the morale in the Chubei military camp has risen again, and they have all their strength to prepare for the war in an instant.

Yes!

It's going to be war again!

Now that the Northern Chu Army no longer has any worries about food and medicine, it began to concentrate on repairing or making siege equipment. The common people began to hang all kinds of lanterns again: the lanterns were full of their blessings, such as "Great Chu will win", "Shi Shuai will win a hundred battles", "The barbarian enemy will die", "God bless Chu Bei" and other words are the most.

"Will you do that?"

In the training ground, Shi Feiwan was holding a long black tube in his hand at the moment. There was a small opening at the end of the barrel, and his eyes were aimed at the small opening, and his fingers pressed a button next to it, and a long arrow flew out of the barrel. This is a new weapon she designed herself, and she named it "Barrel Arrow". This is made from a hidden artifact mechanism. Arrows can be shot with small traps, which are faster to prepare than regular bows and arrows.

The most important thing is that with this barrel of arrows, there is almost no force when shooting arrows. Conventional archers shoot arrows, and if they want to shoot longer, they need to have more strength. However, it takes almost no effort to make this arrow have the same range as a regular shooter.

Therefore, the time is not late to make this barrel arrow more efficient.

Of course, there are drawbacks. It is the high cost of this arrow. After the Battle of Taicheng, she ordered someone to make it, and only a few thousand were made. She originally wanted to remake it, but the cost in the army is also fixed and limited, so she can't squander it at will.

But it's not too late to think about it, after the war, if the Great Chu can be richer than it is now after cultivating its vitality, then in the future, it is not impossible to make all the arrows on the tube.

"Shi Shuai."

Shi Feiwan was teaching people to use new arrows, and at this moment he heard a male voice behind him.

Shi Feiwan looked back and was a little surprised: "The third prince? ”

The person who called her was indeed the Third Prince. Only the third prince was wearing not private clothes at this time, but a heavy armor. The third prince glanced at her, and actually performed the military salute that a soldier did when he saw the commander, and said: "Shi Shuai, I want to join the army, and I hope that Shi Shuai can stay." ”

Shi Feiwan narrowed his eyes, "Is the prince joking?" ”

The prince is a military officer. But the prince was able to occupy a high position from the beginning of his military career. But the third prince was actually wearing the clothes of the most ordinary soldiers at this time. This means that this is his choice.

"How dare I laugh at this big event." The third prince laughed: "Shi Shuai has seen my skills, I think, I won't hold Shi Shuai back." ”

Shi Feiwan looked at the seriousness in his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "That's the case, Wei Shuang, it's under your account, you go and arrange it." ”

"Yes." Wei Shuang walked out and greeted the third prince.

The armies of northern Chu were simply dumbfounded: Rub! This new handsome man is so fat! really accepted the three princes and made them the most ordinary soldiers! If the third prince wants to join the army, he has to give him a good position? A small soldier can mean that there is no guardian soldier around, and if something happens to the battlefield, how to explain it to Banzai!

The third prince was not half dissatisfied, and honestly arranged by Wei Shuang in his cavalry team.

The three princes have already thought about this choice: their daughter can still keep the house, and he is a prince, not only the prince of the royal family, but also the prince of the people. The royal duty is to protect the people, and so should his duty.

The selfishness of those children half a year ago, now that the matter has come to this, that person and Cen Yin are inseparable, and he will no longer think about intervening.

He is a man, ambitious in all directions, and a son of all peoples, and he should bear all responsibilities. Now that the national crisis is at hand, he should make a contribution to it, to be worthy of the man's heart, and to be worthy of the prince's body.

Are you not afraid of death?

No! Whether it is the three princes or the bandits of the Eighteen Villages, they have to participate in the war, not because they are not afraid of death, not because they rush forward and sacrifice.

Rather, they are afraid that Da Chu will lose!

If there is the ability to predict tomorrow, and if you know that tomorrow's battle will be won, then the bandits of the Eighteen Villages, or other people, are probably more willing to hide behind their backs and watch others bleed and kill the enemy, so as to save their lives.

But—they don't have the eyes of heaven and can't predict tomorrow!

The bandits of the Eighteen Villages were willing to follow Shi Fei to join the war, because they knew that one more person would join, and Da Chu would have a better chance of winning.

Succession after succession, in order to increase the chance of victory, in order to seek the undefeated Great Chu!

Otherwise, they just watched the Chu army fight, just to seek the future of the new master and the mountain bandits, and it doesn't have to be like this.

But...... Their joining can indeed make the victory of the Da Chu side greater!
