Section 29 - Preemptive strike

In the big tent of the commander of the Thousand Pheasant Army, a personal guard reported to several adults on the recruitment of transportation capacity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wu Wei's team is positive, two mules, five donkeys, two inferior horses, one cow, and four carts!"

"Ye Xuanming's team is positive, one mule, seven donkeys, three inferior horses, and six carts!"

"Wei Peng's team is positive, three mules, three donkeys, two bad horses, one good horse, three cattle, and five carts!"

......

"Su Shangzhuo's team is positive, six mules, eleven donkeys, five bad horses, four good horses, seven cattle, and thirteen carts!"

"Hey! Su Jiazi still has some ability, and he actually raised so many livestock and carts in just five days. ”

Located in the main general's tent, the bearded white veteran who was in the first place on the left hand of the main general stroked his long beard, his face was surprised, the number of people raised by the previous teams was not satisfactory, but Su Shangzhuo, who had a family background, was able to do a good job, although he did not distribute enough money, but he still raised so many powerful animals and carts, and the number of others was not even half of his.

"These boys, I'm afraid they have done some robbery, our Thousand Pheasant Army is waiting to be impeached by the local county order!"

Although he guessed that the team that sent out to collect power animals and carts would use some dishonorable methods, and also bring some reproach to the Thousand Pheasant Army, the other Guoyi Lieutenant who sat opposite the veteran bearded flower white did not take these concerns to heart in the slightest.

It's nothing more than a war of words and words, and in the end, it is not the court that pays money to compensate and appease the people's grievances.

The military situation is urgent, and there is nothing wrong with some radical means, as long as no one is killed.

Obviously, this is not the first time that the Thousand Pheasant Army has done this.

In order to prevent the border army from getting out of control, except in wartime, the imperial court often holds the silver money, grain and grass in its hands, and never sends it out.

As a result, when an emergency military situation occurs, the border armies are often unable to react because of a lack of money, and in order not to delay the military planes, they have to take some extraordinary measures, and the losses of the people are inevitable.

In the face of the reproach from the court, the military is also reinvigorating, who let the distribution of money insufficient, resulting in a lack of military funds, when it is used, in addition to robbing, can it still be conjured up by itself, rather than let the thieves and the enemy rob and waste in vain, it is better to cheapen the army, anyway, it should contribute to the country.

"Call Su Shangzhuo over and let him tell him how he recruited so many power animals and carts, and let the other teams follow suit next time!"

Yu Hong, the commander of the Zhichong Commander who was in the seat of the big tent master, spoke, and he wanted to see what kind of means this kind of family disciple used to recruit more powerful animals and carts than the old oilman in the army.

"Wait, this time there are ten team members, and I only seem to have heard nine?"

The white-haired veteran who was the first on the left hand under the main general's seat, Guo Yi Du Wei Sihang recalled with a frown.

Wu Wei, Ye Xuanming, Wei Peng, Xu Pan, Zheng Shanquan...... There are really only nine of them!"

Cao Yi, the younger captain of the Thousand Pheasant Army, counted on his fingers, and sure enough, there was one less, he looked at the guard who reported the recruitment, and asked, "Who is the one who didn't report the number, didn't he recruit any of them?"

Lowering his head and glancing at the list in his hand, the guard immediately said, "There is another one who is Ding Zhi's team!"

"What's going on? Since we haven't collected the power animals and carts, don't you even dare to come back to the camp?"

The veteran Zuo Guoyi Du Wei Sihang patted the short table on his side, immediately stood up, and said to Yu Hong, who was in the seat of the main general: "The team is Ding Zhi's ineffective handling of things, and he delays the military plane, so he should be beheaded according to military law to set an example!"

The sentence "delay the military plane, according to the military law, should be beheaded, in order to set an example" immediately filled the main general's tent with a solemn atmosphere.

Zuo Guoyi's voice fell, and he was silent.

Yu Hong, the commander of Zhichong, said expressionlessly: "Someone!"

"In!"

A guard walked in briskly from outside the tent and hugged his fist towards the Commander in the general's seat.

"Send a message to Sun Shangzhuo's team to come over, and send someone to bring Ding Zhi back to me!"

With an order, the fate of the two teams of the Thousand Pheasant Army was immediately diametrically opposed.

"Yes!"

The guard simply took the order and turned to leave.

After a while, a young officer strode in, slammed his chest, and said loudly: "Team leader Sun Shangzhuo, I have seen three adults!"

"Team Sun, you came just in time, tell me how you managed to raise so many power animals and carts?"

Yu Hong, who was sitting in the seat of the main general, looked at the young general in front of him with satisfaction.

The children of the Shi clan really have a family history and are quite talented, and for the first time to carry out such a task, they were able to raise such a powerful animal and cart in just a few days, which is a little more capable than those team members who have already raised powerful animals and carts more than once.

Sun Shangzhuo frowned slightly, and his expression was a little stiff.

If he had seen Ding Zhi's power animals and the big convoy the day before yesterday, he might have been complacent.

But now, there is an indescribable embarrassment.

"Sun Teamzheng, what are you still modest? Don't cherish yourself. ”

Zuo Guoyi's lieutenant Wei Sihang regarded Sun Shangzhuo's hesitation and embarrassment as modesty, and he was still secretly sighing in his heart that the children of the world clan had excellent abilities, and at this time he was worried about the faces of his colleagues, and he was not proud to fight for himself.

"Yes, Lord Wei!"

Sun Shangzhuo's face was a little ugly, like eating a fly, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The subordinates did not use any special methods, every time they went to a village or town, they caught the local idlers and gangsters, lured them with money, forced them with swords, and forced them to lead us to find those families with livestock and carts at home, which made the fundraising work much smoother." ”

As he spoke, he secretly prayed that the person surnamed Ding would be so frightened by the name of the Su family that he didn't dare to come back, so that the first credit for this fundraising would be taken by himself.

"Hahaha, what should I think of as a good idea, it turned out that the dragon crossed the river to force the head snake! Yes, yes!"

Zuo Guoyi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, stroked his palms and laughed.

Yu Hong, the commander of Zhichong, and Cao Yi, the commander of Youguoyi, also laughed one after another, as an old man in the army, he could naturally see some of them.

The people who know the most about the local situation in the villages and towns are the idle gangsters who are like snakes on the ground, forcing them to be the party leading the way, and they don't need much effort to "follow the map" to find the power animals and vehicles in the people's homes, and by the way, they can also catch a few young people.

"This is a good idea!"

Yu Hong, the commander of Zhichong, nodded, and when he thought of the other teams, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Hmph! The other killing talents, it's okay to go into battle and fight, let them grow their brains, it's really harder than cutting off their heads." ”

Such an open robbery is like a common thing for the border army of the Dawu Dynasty, as long as no one is killed, the rest will naturally be compensated by the local government, and if the military plane is mistaken, it is a big deal.

"It is worthy of being a child of the eight great clans of my Great Wu Dynasty, and the future is limitless. ”

Right Guoyi Du Lieutenant Cao also expressed his appreciation, some things are just to pierce that layer of window paper, all the teams before were brutal, and the harvest is naturally not optimistic, with this method in the future, I am afraid that there is no longer any need to worry about those Diao people hiding their own power animals and vehicles, making it difficult for the army to raise all the required transportation forces in a short time.

At this time, a personal guard walked into the big tent and clenched his fists and said, "Report, Ding Zhi's team is entering the camp!"

Hearing this news, Sun Shangzhuo's face changed, and he secretly said that he should have come.

The most hateful thing is that if you don't come early or late, you just come at this time, one moment the three adults also expressed their appreciation for themselves, and the next moment, the two sides raised a comparison of the power animals and vehicles, and the previous appreciation and praise immediately turned into a loud slap.

Sun Shangzhuo's face was inexplicably hot and painful, as if he had really been slapped.

"Well? I don't know how to come back from this killing? I think he is ineffective and becomes a deserter! Come, prepare a military stick and dip it in salt water, and today I must teach this guy who has no military law a profound lesson. ”

For the last team leader who was late, Yu Hong didn't mind killing chickens and monkeys, so as to establish his authority and set an example for others, don't be half-hearted.

Hearing the words of Lord Zhichong, Sun Shangzhuo's heart moved, and he immediately hugged his fists and said: "My lord, my subordinates accused that Ding Zhi of flying and domineering, with no one in his eyes, and robbing his colleagues' powerful animals and vehicles. ”

If Li Xiaobai is here, he will definitely be shocked, "Damn!

The thief took a bite and went into the bone for three points, and Sun Shangzhuo took a bite so upside down black and white, which immediately had the effect of falling into the well.

Zuo Guoyi's lieutenant Wei Sihang slapped the short man on his side again, and said murderously: "Is it? This Ding Zhi should be killed! No wonder this son has not returned for a long time, he actually dared to do such a thing!" Sun Shangzhuo's words made him more and more determined to make Ding Zhi an example.

The army of the Great Wu Dynasty is the most taboo in infighting, and acts such as snatching merit and passing faults are especially shameful, and robbing the powerful animals and vehicles collected by others is tantamount to touching this bottom line, not only Wei Sihang, but even Cao Yi and Yu Hong, the commander of the fold Chong, have become more difficult to look at.

"There is another person next to Ding Zhi, who claims to be the Li family in Xiyan Town, I think he has a suspicious appearance, he must be a spy of the Rong people. ”

Sun Shangzhuo didn't stop doing it, and planned to kill two birds with one stone, and take this opportunity to solve Ding Zhi and Li Xiaobai at the same time.

"Oh?"

The left and right Guoyi lieutenants glanced at each other, and Sun Shangzhuo's words made them feel that there seemed to be unusual information behind Ding Zhi's late return.

There was a commotion outside the big tent, some people shouted, there were cows, horses and other livestock neighing, and the camp of the Thousand Pheasant Army suddenly became lively.

Yu Hong, the commander of Zhichong, frowned and said, "Come on, why is there so much noise in the camp?"

As a commander-in-chief, he couldn't see the chaos of his subordinates the most, and his questions were answered immediately.

"My lord, it's the power animals and vehicles that Ding Zhi's team is bringing in, as well as the young man, because there are too many of them, they are being escorted to the back camp. ”

The news brought by the guards made the three captains and deputy lieutenants in the big tent stand up in shock.

Too many? What does it mean to have too many?
