Chapter 135: Buying Peace
Kou Guo sat in the tent, which had once been his office, but now he could only sit here like a guest, waiting for his former deputy to give orders.
He still has prestige in the tunzhong, so those comrades did not dare to ridicule him in front of him, but only checked behind his back, saying that he was too bad to be an official.
"Yes! I'm too bad to be an official! Kou Guo smiled bitterly and thought to himself, if he hadn't been bent on catching that Raushzi "Spider Man", how could he have suffered a heavy loss? If he knew how to make peace with the mud and knew how to deceive the superiors and subordinates, how could he become a rafter and now be beaten and broken?
His former and current lieutenant, the current chief, paced back and forth in the tent, muttering words in his mouth, beads of sweat slowly forming on his forehead.
Kou Guo sighed. When they worked together before, he felt that this deputy was not responsible, but now that he is the head of the tun, he is still like this.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Kou Guo asked out loud.
"I said I want them to polish and polish, retouch, how did it become like this? ......" The current tun chief patted his palm with the back of his hand and said to Kou Guo, "Isn't this a lie about the military situation?" ”
Kou Guodao: "If you have done everything, don't regret it." ”
Yesterday, the commanders of the Tun gathered 800 soldiers to go to suppress the bandits, but they returned in vain, and it was too embarrassing to discuss such a report, maybe General Wu would blame it, and they were all not happy, so they reported it as "the enemy fled in a hurry."
What everyone didn't expect was that General Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, and not only held a celebration banquet for the chiefs, but also rewarded everyone. Only then did the chief know that the chaos was big. If that "Spider Man" appears to make trouble again, General Wu Shen may not know what to do with them.
Kou Guo sat leisurely on the table and took a sip of tea, now that his position is gone, he is much more relaxed: "If I were you......"
"How?" Now the tun chief asked eagerly.
"I won't regret it." Kou National Road.
Tun Chang was disappointed. At this time, a person outside the tent came in and said, "Brother, don't come to harm?" Yo, Brother Kou is here too. ”
The person who came was Hao Fei, the tun chief of the tun next door, this person has always been informal, and he had a good relationship with Kou Guo before, but he hasn't greeted him here, Hao Fei has already sat down, picked up the tea bowl and drank it.
"What are you going to do?" Tun Chang frowned. At that time, it was this Hao Fei who proposed to "polish" the report.
"Spider-Man is back here." Hao Fei whispered.
"What!" Tun Chang slapped the table and stood up, "Where is he?" ”
Hao Fei smiled and asked, "What?" You still want to catch him? ”
Tun Chang said: "I can't catch this person, I'm uneasy." ”
Hao Fei hit the nail on the head: "I'm afraid it's not that you're restless, but I'm afraid that the official hat on your head is unstable, right?" ”
The tun chief blushed, and Hao Fei said again: "He attacked one of my military stations, emptied all the food I had there, and took away the salary and silver that I was going to send out on the tun. ”
Tun Chang touched his head: "It's over, it's over!" It's all over! ”
Hao Fei put down the tea bowl: "What's the end?" ”
"All the money in our tun area is with you, and your money is finished, how can we explain to the generals? Maybe General Yu will be furious! ”
Cai Guo's military salary was not paid to the end, but was distributed layer by layer in order to prevent corruption. For example, the military salaries on the front line are through the passage of the military region, which is first sent to the general's big account, and then distributed from level to level; The garrison is issued according to the city, first sent to the city, and then issued by the city chief according to the different departments of the garrison, Yu Dingyuan has three generals, one is in charge of the city, one is in charge of the city gate, one is in charge of the tun district, and Wu Shen will be in the tun district, so the salary and silver are concentrated in his hands first. And Wu Shen felt quite impatient to count these details, so he handed over the full authority to Hao Fei. Now is the time to check the accounts, and the money is still in his hands, but it was all wiped out by Xu Wenshan!
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his face flushed as he slapped the table. Hao Fei said: "You calm down, what are you doing in such a hurry." ”
After that, Hao Fei shook the tea bowl, opened the tea powder, and then said slowly: "Spider Man is also a human, and it's not that he can't talk about it, and the loss is not too big, so I got half of my salary back." ”
The flush on Tun Chang's face faded in an instant, and he sat down and asked in a low voice, "How did you do it?" ”
Hao Fei raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said, "I met with Spider-Man's people, he is still very talkative, he said that as long as I don't care about him, he doesn't care about me, and he doesn't 'do things' in my tun." ”
Tun Chang was surprised: "What did you tell him?" ”
Hao Fei said: "It's very simple, if I give him some money every month, he won't make trouble in my territory, and he will keep my territory peaceful." I begged him to pay me back, otherwise he would not be able to deal with it, so he happily allocated half of it to me, saying that it would lend it to me, and that it would be repaid slowly every month. ”
Tun Chang was shocked: "Isn't this equivalent to making a deal with bandits!?" You're so confused! ”
Hao Fei frowned: "How can I be confused?" I can't beat him, there are only a hundred people under me, and I can't manage local affairs, what can I do with him? ”
Tun Chang said: "You can ask us for help......"
"Help? What help? You'd love to see me laugh! Who doesn't know that after the autumn harvest, you will have to withdraw a tun, don't you all pick up who will make a mistake, and then divide this little thing under my hands? ”
Tun Chang pressed his head and said, "That can't be ...... So now that you've only recovered half of your salary, what should you do next? ”
Hao Fei smiled. Tun Chang suddenly felt a cool air crawling up his back from the tail vertebrae, and he trembled and said, "Are you here...... Pull me in? ”
Hao Fei said: "Brother, how can you doubt my brother like this? I'm here to help you, Spider-Man told me that the next target is your tun. ”
Tun Chang stood up angrily: "Are you helping him threaten me?" ”
Hao Fei put down the tea bowl and stood up: "This matter, not only you and me, but each of us should take responsibility." This spider hero, let's go and kill it, where does the money come from? Where did you get the food? It's better for a few brothers to make some money, and the big things will turn into small things, and everyone will be happy. ”
Tun Chang's fingers trembled with anger, and he pointed at Hao Fei and said, "You are collaborators!" Aren't you afraid that I will sue the general? ”
Hao Fei gently put down the commander's finger and said, "What the general is asking for is also to protect the territory and the people, to ensure that there will be no chaos here, what difference does it make if you use any method?" ”
When the tun chief didn't know what to do, a report flew outside the tent, and a spy came in and said: "Tun chief! Oh no! Our Sanlikou military station has fallen! ”
"What!" Tun Chang was dizzy and almost fell to the ground. It's okay to have other military stations, Sanlikou is the place where the winter grain in his tun area is stored, and if that place is gone, they won't be able to survive the winter in their tun area!
"How so...... I'm ...... Obviously the place is arranged to be leaky, there are people patrolling every moment, and almost all the troops are placed there, how can it still ......"
Hao Fei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, who is not?" This spider hero is not simple, it is elusive, and it can't be prevented, if I have a way, do I still need this strategy? ”
The tun chief was completely panicked, and looked at Kou Guo on the side as if asking for help. Kou Guo was still the same as at the beginning, took a slow sip of tea, and said, "If I were you......"
"How?"
"Let's scrape together some money and buy peace." After Kou Guo finished speaking, he refused to say any more.
Tun Chang was disheartened, looked at Hao Fei, and nodded.
Hao Fei smiled. If he is the only one who commits the crime, there will be trouble in the future, but if all the tun commanders fall, then the people above will be in trouble.
Kou Guo on the side lowered his head, and his face quietly showed a look of resentment.
