After the separation, Zhang Kui took out the strategic map, circled it and dotted it around, and sighed: "Although the black city has been recaptured now, there are still more than 20 cities occupied by Hesse. ”

"This ...... General, doesn't the Holy Lord know about the situation of our waiting? There are still 50,000 vanguard troops in the Mosen Kingdom encamped dozens of miles away, and they still haven't given up the threat to the Black Curtain City, how can we regain the lost territory at this juncture!"

A veteran with a white beard stepped forward a few steps forward and said with a very opposed fist.

As soon as the veteran finished speaking, Wang Daping also stepped forward and said: "General Xu Du is right, the Black Curtain City is now only 10,000 troops, and it is still drawn from the Beacon City. ”

is to say, Zhang Kui doesn't know these facts, he just doesn't want to face the admit.

With 10,000 troops, Zhang Kuilian intimidated and pretended to be his grandson, this zodiac was afraid that there would be no shady city as a watchdog, and the king of the south would go directly to his door next time.

Huang Dao was afraid that his soil emperor would sit on his head, so he reluctantly cut his flesh and borrowed 10,000 troops to Zhang Kui.

"I understand what you are saying, but the Holy One won't help us much, so is there nothing we can do?" Zhang Kui clapped his hands, looking annoyed.

Wang Daping shook his head and said dejectedly: "The military salary has not been paid in March, and the soldiers have long complained, so it is already a miracle to defend the city, and it is more difficult to recover the lost land than to ascend to the sky." ”

Zhang Kui slapped the table and said angrily: "This is not good, that is also difficult, I want you to complain here? Will the military salary be in arrears all the time? ”

The meeting broke up unhappily, and Zhao Chuan and Wen Teng returned to the barracks to rest.

Lying comfortably on the bed, Zhao Chuan stretched his waist and took another step towards the goal, he felt very happy.

Although he is now the deputy commander of the Ironclad Army, the Ironclad Army has already suffered heavy losses, and now there are only more than 170 people left.

Although the combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated, it urgently needs to be replenished with new troops.

After discussing it with Wen Teng, he also agreed with Zhao Chuan.

It's just that Zhao Chuan has to ask his superior Wang Daping for instructions, and if he nods, he can go out to recruit soldiers.

After all, the armor and weapons had to be approved by Wang Daping, so Zhao Chuan could take the token to the material warehouse to get it.

It stands to reason that Wang Daping, who can train the ironclad army, will definitely not be a simple person.

But now in Zhao Chuan's impression, this guy is a sneaky master.

So Zhao Chuan was curious, how did this ironclad army maintain its peak combat power under his leadership.

Or is it said that the ironclad army is very strong, and this Wang Daping can't be crooked at all.

Every soldier of the Ironclad Army is at the rank of captain, so in each barracks, there are people from the Ironclad Army on duty.

It's also very convenient to get things done.

This Wang Daping has been protesting for a long time because of the matter of military salary, and the unhappy parting in the council hall just now does not stop his determination to ask for military salary.

Why is Wang Daping so anxious? Is it really a love for soldiers like a son?

The next day, Zhao Chuan and Wen Teng were called to the camp by Wang Daping, and Zhao Chuan finally knew why he was in such a hurry.

Zhao Chuan and Wen Teng stood below and listened to the order, Wang Daping ignored them for a long time, eating chicken legs by himself, and his already fat face was distorted.

After eating a greasy mouth, Wang Daping put down the chicken leg and burped, and then said slowly: "The military salary is less than a day, and the soldiers have no intention of working. ”

Zhao Chuan responded: "Didn't General Zhang say that he would arrive in more than ten days?

Hearing this, Wang Daping was full of disdain, and sneered: "It will be there in more than ten days? Hmph, he Lao Zhang can also deceive a recruit like you, I lied to you a little bit, Lao Zhang has said it countless times, but half a year has passed, has the military salary arrived? ”

"He Lao Zhang has someone to distribute the money separately, of course there is no hurry, we can't receive the military salary on a monthly basis, so don't drink the northwest wind. After a pause, Wang Daping said in a deep voice: "There are people from our ironclad army in the entire military camp, and it is not an exaggeration to say that all the military power is in the hands of you and me. ”

Zhao Chuan had a sense of foreboding, so he asked, "What does General Wang want?"

Wang Daping took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and said: "Lao Tzu is not how, he doesn't give money and doesn't work, rebellion can't work, if you don't work, the strike won't punish me, I have prepared this document, and I have pressed my handprint first, and now I will send you and General Wen, you press the handprint, and after we take the lead, this document will be distributed to all the soldiers, and then the collective strike." ”

Zhao Chuan was shocked and said: "General Wang, don't do it, if this is sent to General Zhang, we will be finished." ”

Wang Daping said with a face full of disdain: "Look at you, why are you so bold, those are all our people, who dares to expose us? Not to mention the fact that there is no military salary, and he still dares to punish the crime in the strike?"

Seeing that Zhao Chuan was silent, Wang Daping waved his hand and said, "That's it, if you don't want to participate, I'm not reluctant, go out." ”

Zhao Chuan clenched his fists and said apologetically: "I'm sorry general, I retired from my humble position." ”

gave Wen Teng on the side a look, and Zhao Chuan hurriedly retreated with him.

As soon as he turned around and went out, Zhao Chuan heard Wang Daping's words coming from the camp tent: "What's the matter, it's useless to give you a chance, see how Lao Tzu will you in the future, hum!"

"General Mo Qi, this ironclad army is not what you say, he is just a deputy commander, just a decoration, after this strike, I hope Lao Zhang can pay the military salary, otherwise our salary will be exposed." ”

Wang Daping sighed and said: "That's right, the military salary half a year ago has gone into your pocket, if I hadn't helped a little in my own name, I'm afraid the sergeants would have turned back, but now it's okay, those people are all killed in battle, and there is no proof of death, hahaha." ”

"Well, but their pension can still make you and me a fortune, if it weren't for the hateful Lao Zhang, we would have taken this money and flown away. ”

Xu Du said with a sneer.

After being silent for a moment, Xu Du reminded: "But there are still more than 170 people still there, as long as the military salary is enough to give them some hush money, we will sit back and relax." ”

Listening to the short conversation inside, Zhao Chuan was shocked.

I just feel that Wang Daping is unreliable, but Zhao Chuan never expected this guy to be so bad.

He dared to cheat the military salary, and he also had to corrupt the pensions of the families of those soldiers.

This Wang Daping and that Xu Du are even worse than livestock.

After leaving quickly, he returned to his barracks, Wen Teng smashed the door frame with a fist, and said angrily: "Xiaochuan, what do you say? These two bastards, let others work hard, take other people's hard-earned money, and his grandmother's is not afraid of God's curse!"

Zhao Chuan smiled bitterly: "Big brother, if there is really a curse in the world, then what else do you need to do with the law? ”

Wen Teng nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I support you, then let's go to General Zhang to report it now." ”

Zhao Chuan shook his head and said: "No, the time has not yet come, not to mention that you and I have just arrived, General Zhang may not be trusted, if those more than 170 people are also in the same stream as Wang Daping, we will die." ”

Wen Teng was startled, and suddenly said at a loss: "What should I do? I can't just watch him be happy, right?"

With his eyes closed, Zhao Chuan fell into deep thought, and every time he thought about a major issue, he was used to it.

But Wen Teng was walking around there, very restless.

"Big brother, don't be impatient, wait, now is not the time. Zhao Chuan finally decided.

Wen Teng sighed, looking unwilling: "Just let him be happy like this?"

Zhao Chuan nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise do you want to die? Don't forget what our ultimate task is, more is better than less, as long as Wang Daping does not hinder our mission, we can't target him, after all, we are not familiar with their relationship, you are sure that Zhang Kui does not know? This is all unknown." ”

Seeing Zhao Chuan say this, Wen Teng had no choice but to give up and go outside alone to sulk.

Zhao Chuan didn't care about him, sat cross-legged alone, and ran the first layer of the demon god urn for a few weeks.

is only a fraction away from breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm, and Zhao Chuan is now only a little bit away.

An hour later, Zhao Chuan recovered from his meditation and his physical strength returned to its peak.

Although it was just a little close, Zhao Chuan could break through to the Tongxuan Realm.

But Zhao Chuan was not in a hurry to break through, and he was down-to-earth in his cultivation, and he couldn't be slow or impatient.

This is the Tao that Zhao Chuan himself comprehended.

"General Zhao, General Zhang is invited. Outside the battalion commander, a small colonel said in a low voice.

Zhao Chuan answered, then asked Xiaoxiao to lead the way and followed him.

The two came to the study, Zhao Chuan saluted, and stood aside and waited.

Zhang Kui is flying and dancing with a brush, although he was born in Rongma, but Zhao Chuanguan is also very beautiful in his handwriting.

A hook and a skimming, everywhere reveals the style of calligraphy.

This is rare among people who are born in martial arts.

After all, Zhao Chuan was born in Rong after abandoning the pen, so he still has a lot of say in calligraphy.

Not flattering, to be honest, Zhang Kui's handwriting is really good.

After reading for a long time, Zhang Kui finally finished writing, and the four big characters on the rice paper made Zhao Chuan can't help but read out: "Share worries for the country!"

Zhang Kui put the brush back on the ink table, looked at Zhao Chuan and said, "Xiaochuan, I came to you, do you know what is going on?"

Zhao Chuan shook his head and whispered, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Kui put his hands behind his back, looked out the window and said lightly: "You must have heard it in the council hall in the morning, I said that the military salary will arrive in more than ten days, in fact, I lied to everyone, the treasury is empty, and so many cities have been lost in a row, until the last time it was paid half a year ago, His Majesty has long been unable to pay the military salary." ”

Zhao Chuan not only smiled bitterly, as the supreme commander, he didn't know that in fact, the soldiers only received some of Wang Daping's so-called personal subsidies.

Half a year ago, all the military salaries were coveted by Wang Daping and Na Xu.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Chuan couldn't say anything.

I only heard Zhang Kui continue: "Your Majesty still expects us to recover the lost territory, as a courtier, no matter how difficult it is, we should share the worries of the country, if there are no conditions, we will create conditions to solve the problem, do you know what I mean?"
