Chapter 57: The Food Problem
Time passed day by day, the princes of the Eighteenth Road have basically arrived, but there is still no appearance of attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, I heard that now the Eighteenth Road Princes gather in Yuan Shao's camp every day, drinking and singing and dancing, but no one has mentioned the attack on the Tiger Prison Pass.
Some people are getting more and more anxious the more they wait, especially Lu Hao, who was cut off by Zhang Jun and completely lost his status, that Guo Tengfei seems to be worried that Lu Hao will fight with him again, so he deliberately embarrassed him.
Now Lu Hao urgently needs military merit, as long as he has enough military merit, he can get up again, and when the time comes, he will be on an equal footing with Zhang Jun, and even trample him under his feet again.
"Second brother, why do the princes of the Eighteenth Route always stand still?"
On the martial arts field, Zhao Yun walked up to Zhang Jun and asked, as a hot-blooded man, Zhao Yun is not very willing to train here all the time, and he also wants to rush to the war horse and sing and spill blood.
"Hehe, they are waiting, the princes of the Eighteenth Road seem to have a lot of soldiers, but in fact, there are many rabble, and the people are not in harmony, so you need to wait, don't worry, someone is more unstable than us."
Zhang Jun patted Zhao Yun's shoulder to appease Zhao Yun, and at the same time looked at Jiao Teng on the side, Jiao Teng was really training at the moment.
However, his way of training is different from others, completely referring to militarized training in reality, which makes many veterans in the battalion see jokes, and even Zhao Yun feels incredible, thinking that the eldest brother's way of training is too unique.
"Report! General Zhang, the food in our camp is not enough, and now the brothers below are starting to make a fuss, go and take a look. At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said to Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun's brows sank, and he immediately rushed over with Zhao Yun, and sure enough, he saw a group of soldiers arguing around the canteen, and seeing a soldier making the most noise, Zhang Jun stepped forward and stepped on him, kicked him aside, and scolded with a cold face: "What are you arguing about!" ”
At this time, Zhang Jun couldn't take care of much, and he had to find a way to suppress these ruffians, otherwise let them continue to make trouble, the noise became louder and louder, and it was easy to cause Xiaoying.
At that time, he will be too guilty, as a general, responsible for training soldiers, many logistics have to be arranged by him, if there is a Xiao camp, he will be relieved of his position as a general, and if it is heavy, he will kill chickens and sacrifice monkeys.
"Tun Chief, our brothers are all risking their lives, but they can't even eat, so how can they have the strength to go into battle to kill the enemy." A soldier said unconvinced, he pointed to the porridge in the pot and said, "Look, there are a few grains of rice in this pot of porridge, which is not enough for even a soak of urine." ”
"You talk a lot, it's not enough to pee, why don't you go to ****!" At this time, Jiao Teng came over and scolded with a straight face.
Zhang Jun stopped him and glanced at the porridge in the pot, it was indeed as the soldier said, the light soup, not a grain of rice could be seen, and the soldier's daily training was so heavy, it was natural that he could not eat enough.
Zhang Jun called the chief who was in charge of cooking the food over, pulled him aside, and before the chief could open his mouth to complain, Zhang Jun frowned and asked, "How much grain is left?" ”
He knew that the food was all for Yuan Shao to distribute, and Yuan Shao saw that he couldn't break through the tiger prison in a short time, so he naturally didn't want to waste food for other princes to raise soldiers in vain, so he would definitely deduct less money, and the food supply would naturally not be enough.
"There is really not much food we received this time, we can save some and use it for the next time, otherwise we will let go of the food, and it will not be enough for two days." This chief is also aggrieved, he is responsible for the food in the army, and his responsibility is no less than that of Zhang Jun.
The sergeants can't eat, he has to be scolded, but when there is no food, he will be killed, and he still understands the principle of choosing the lesser of the left and right.
For two days, he knew that Yuan Shao would deduct the grain, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to deduct it so ruthlessly, and after thinking for a while, Zhang Jun said to Shi Chang: "You go and make today's grain according to the original, and I will figure out the rest." ”
"This ........." The chief was a little reluctant, in case Zhang Jun couldn't get food, and when the time came, he would be guilty of a capital crime if he spread his hands and put the responsibility on him.
Zhang Jun's grasp and vision of people's hearts are so sharp, his brows sank, he grabbed Shi Chang's collar, and said with a gloomy face: "If you don't do it, I will kill you now." ”
can't stabilize the morale of the army, he sent these soldiers today, how will he send them tomorrow? Even if it doesn't cause the roaring camp, it will be a tired army at that time, and what use can it be on the field.
If this commander is disobedient, he will not mind killing him now to stabilize the morale of the army and give these soldiers an outlet for catharsis.
"No...... No...... No...... I'm going, I'm going. It seemed that he was frightened by the murderous intent in Zhang Jun's eyes, and Shi Chang didn't care too much, so he immediately went down and ordered to get up and start cooking again.
Zhang Jun asked Jiao Teng to arrest the few soldiers who took the lead in making trouble, and each of them received twenty lashes, and the rest of the soldiers continued to eat.
"Second brother, there is not enough food, I ate it today, what will I do tomorrow?" Zhao Yun also heard the conversation between Zhang Jun and Shi Chang before, and he was very puzzled by Zhang Jun's approach, and even felt a little bored, in his opinion, this was completely bureaucratic, only caring about the present and ignoring the future.
Seeing Zhao Yun's emotions, Zhang Jun sighed in his heart: "It's not you yet, otherwise I would have gone to Dong Fat to eat and drink spicy food." ”
I thought so in my heart, but Zhang Jun couldn't say that, otherwise Zhao Yunke, who was finally able to get it, would fly.
He said with a bitter face: "Third brother, you say, if that commander doesn't feed the soldiers today, even if the soldiers don't camp today, what about tomorrow?" Even if they are honest and honest, they have no strength at all when they go to the battlefield, aren't they looking for death? There will always be a way, but I must not let our brothers go to war hungry, even if they die, they must be full of death. ”
Zhang Jun said that in the back, his voice was deliberately raised, so that the soldiers behind him could hear it clearly, and some soldiers who were not satisfied with Zhang Jun heard this sentence, and their expressions became complicated for a while, and they were honest one by one, and they did not dare to make the slightest move.
Zhao Yun nodded, and also felt that he was impulsive, not as comprehensive as the second brother thought, but he immediately frowned and said, "But there is no food, what should we do?" ”
"Ha, don't worry about this, your eldest brother and I will naturally find a way."
Zhang Jun asked Zhao Yun to continue to supervise the training of the soldiers, and then went to Yuan Shao's camp with Jiao Teng, Zhang Jun went for about three hours, and did not come back at night.
Zhao Yun has been standing outside and waiting, but he still can't wait for Zhang Jun and Jiao Teng to come back, and his expression is anxious.
Just when Zhao Yun picked up his silver bright gun and was about to go to find Zhang Jun and Jiao Teng, he saw several wheelbarrows slowly coming over in the night, taking advantage of the cover of the night to quickly come to the front of the camp, the night was hazy, but if you look carefully, it is not difficult to see that those people are Yuan Shao's troops.
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and after a closer look, there were eight or nine sacks on more than a dozen cars, and he didn't know what was going on, while Zhang Jun and Jiao Teng followed unhurriedly behind.
"Big brother, second brother? What are these?? ”
Zhao Yun immediately stepped forward and asked, Jiao Teng took out a bag of lotus leaves from behind, and took out a pot of wine and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, you haven't eaten yet, this is for you." ”
Zhao Yun took it and took a look, and there was actually a roast chicken in the lotus leaf, not only his eyes were round, but he was surprised: "This ......"
"Let's go and go into the camp." Jiao Teng pulled Zhao Yun into the camp, and after several soldiers put the wheelbarrow into the camp, they immediately said goodbye to Zhang Jun and left.
When he returned to the camp, he saw Jiao Teng drinking wine with Zhao Yun, and Jiao Teng didn't know that he was hiding a pack of cigarettes from there, and began to swallow the smoke and exhale smoke, which made Zhao Yun on the side not only surprised, but also thought that it was something from their eldest brother's hometown.
Seeing that Jiao Teng also brought the cigarette forward to Zhao Yun and asked him to try it, Zhang Jun immediately snatched the cigarette and glared at Jiao Teng fiercely and said, "Don't listen to your eldest brother, it's not good for you to smoke this thing." ”
The lungs are the source of strength, the waist is the door of strength, for military generals, once the lungs are injured, even the world's top generals will be reduced to second-rate.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately shook his head, hiding far away, not daring to taste the smell of the cigarette again.
"Second brother, are those all food? How did you get it from Yuan Meng's master? ”
Only then did Jiao Teng tell Zhao Yun that the more than ten wheelbarrows were loaded with grain, which was enough for them to use for half a month, Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and he never knew how Zhang Jun and Jiao Teng did it.
"Actually, it's not difficult, Yuan Shao is not a hero, he is greedy, he is very happy, and he allows his subordinates to form gangs and factions, and he has already been corrupt and corrupt below, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
It turned out that after Zhang Jun and Jiao Teng found Yuan Shao's camp, they used a gold bar as a guide, and saw the main man in charge of grain, and the two began to say less than three words, and the main Bo's expression changed, and he immediately pulled Zhang Jun to ask for warmth, looking like he hated each other.
This is the charm of language or the knowledge of fortune-telling, three sentences Zhang Jun concluded that the three daughters of the master Bo have never had children, and at the same time calculated that the main Bo family has recently been mourned, so that the master Bo is shocked.
In fact, it is not difficult to conclude that Zhang Jun looks at the face of the supervisor, the top is wide and the bottom is narrow, the nose bridge is low, and the nose tip is wide and flat.
There are three wrinkles on the right side of his eyebrow bone, which means that he has given birth to three daughters, plus the sad look on his face, as well as the brazier outside the camp tent and the money that has just been burned, it is expected that there must be a funeral at home, but he can't go back with military affairs.
Zhang Jun said five words, so that the master Bo regarded Zhang Jun as a celestial man, and immediately humbly asked how to have a son, in ancient times, patriarchy was not a joke, there was no queen in the family, but it was cut off from children and grandchildren, and the master Bo was afraid that he would not have the face to see his father and mother when he died.
The rest of the things are easy to do, Zhang Jun gave the master Bo some advice, and then the master Bo immediately sent someone to return the grain deducted this month, and secretly added a lot to Zhang Jun.
As for the roast chicken and wine, it was naturally brought back to Zhao Yun after the main Bo entertained Zhang Jun and Jiao Teng in the camp tent.
"Thank you, brothers."
Zhao Yun was moved and happy, moved that no matter how big or small, Zhang Jun never forgot him, and happy that now the food problem has been solved.
Just when the three of them were happy, suddenly a soldier rushed in and reported to Zhang Jun: "Tun Chief, no, there is a black-faced and bearded man outside, he is very fierce, and several of our brothers have been injured." ”
