"Bang!" With a bang, a bearded guard threw a ring-lock breastplate and a black cotton coat on Zhou Fugui, who had just woken up, and said, "Boy, you can really sleep, get up quickly, go to the governor's room." ”

"Oh..."Zhou Fugui slept in the dark, and slept very happily, hearing this, he hurriedly jumped up from the bed, first wearing a black cotton coat, then a cuirass, and a waist knife hanging from his waist, a standard guard outfit.

Zhou Fugui slept on the so-called bed, that is, some fur was spread on the floor, which was hard but still warm.

"To the governor's room?" Zhou Fugui asked while holding the silk silk of the companion armor: "This eldest brother, what is your surname?" ”

Yesterday, Zhou Fugui was scolded by Hu Yansheng and lost his temper, the war on the snow field, it was indeed Zhou Fugui who made a lot of mistakes, resulting in more than half of the more than 400 prisoners. Zhou Fugui was depressed, and he was not so resistant to being Hu Yansheng's guard.

"Liang Bajin." The guard named Liang Bajin replied.

"Liang Bajin? Big brother is Han? Zhou Fugui asked when he heard this.

"It's Han Chinese, what's wrong?" Liang Bajin glanced at Zhou Fugui and asked.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it, big brother Hugh is going to misunderstand, he is also a Han Chinese, Yanyun Han." Zhou Fugui smiled when he heard this.

"I know that you are Yanyun Han, let's go, go to the governor's room, Hugh is going to make noise." Liang Bajin pushed Zhou Fugui and reprimanded.

"Oh, didn't you have breakfast?" Liang Bajin and Zhou Fugui walked out side by side, and Zhou Fugui asked as he walked.

Zhou Fugui slept for a day and a night, and felt comfortable, but after getting up, his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

"What kind of food? The governor is still deliberating, and when the deliberations are over, there will be food. Liang Bajin glared at Zhou Fugui and said.

Your uncle, if the old fellow deliberates all day, won't he be hungry all day? When Zhou Fugui heard this, he stopped talking, but scolded in his heart.

Liang Bajin and Zhou Fugui pressed the waist knife, walked out of the room, turned a corner, and went up a step paved by bluestone slabs, there were more than 200 steps, and after walking through the steps, they stepped on the city wall of Xuelin City.

The walls of the castle are towering into the sky, and when you stand on the walls, you can see the snowfields outside the castle at a glance, and the view is excellent.

Today's weather is excellent, clear blue sky, as clear as jasper, only a few white clouds like cotton in the sky, under the white clouds, the end of the snow field is an ice peak, very dazzling in the sun, the towering ice peaks are like giants, looking down on the snow field and the snow city.

The snowfield between the Ice Peak and the Snow Rin City is unusually flat and extremely wide, with 100,000 soldiers.

The continuous white snow is dressed up in the snow field, the jade leaves of Qiong branches, the jade bricks are powdered, and the color is extraordinarily enchanting.

Walking on the city wall, a cold wind blew, although it was a little cold, but it was refreshing, so Zhou Fugui's mood was also very good.

Zhou Fugui and Liang Bajin walked side by side, and soon came to a big house, in front of which dozens of guards had already gathered, all standing with swords and looking around.

"The little one has seen the middle general." Liang Bajin walked up to a blonde man and sang with his hand, and pulled Zhou Fugui.

The man is about 30 years old, with a tall figure, a strong physique, and well-developed muscles, especially the lumpy chest muscles and abdominal muscles wrapped in armor, which give people the first feeling of being strong, robust, and infinitely powerful. The long blond hair was shoulder-length, and there was a long scar on a water chestnut face, crawling like a centipede on the forehead from the right cheek, which looked extremely terrifying.

The Han Dynasty's name was Tutis, who was neither from the Central Plains nor from all ethnic groups in the north, and was the leader of Huyansheng's attendants.

Zhou Fugui also bowed.

Tutis raised his hand to straighten Zhou Fugui's clothes, patted Zhou Fugui's shoulders, seemed to be very satisfied with his strong body, and then hung a wooden card on Zhou Fugui's waist, and the word "waiting" was engraved on the wooden card, indicating that he was Hu Yansheng's personal soldier attendant.

"Let's go inside." Tutis brought a wooden plate containing food and wine, and said to Zhou Fugui.

Your uncle, do you really treat Lao Tzu as a slave? After Zhou Fugui scolded in his heart, he still brought food and wine into the house.

Zhou Fugui walked into the house, put the wooden plate on the desk, and then stood in the house with three other guards pressing their knives.

"Dudu..."A middle-aged man who looked like a Yan civil official in the room glanced at Zhou Fugui and said to Hu Yansheng: "After the border police, the number of soldiers has increased by tens of thousands, and the number of soldiers has been accumulated, all of which depend on the food of the Son of Heaven. However, winter has arrived, and the roads are closed by heavy snow, and the transportation of grain and grass is extremely difficult. ”

"Well, how much longer?" Hu Yansheng asked.

"Less than three months." The middle-aged civil official is Sima Fan Guxi, the military officer of the Flying Bear Army, and replied when he heard the words.

"March? At least a sufficient annual surplus of food and salary is required. Hu Yansheng frowned when he heard this.

"Governor Dadu, the food and salary allocated by the imperial court or the nearby state and county governments are extremely difficult to transport due to the heavy snowfall, and even if they are transported, most of them will be consumed on the road..." ”

The so-called plundering is to rob and plunder the enemy's grain and grass, and even rob the grain, grass, money and grain of the Yan people.

"Looting?" Hu Yansheng said, and glanced at Zhou Fugui with the empty cup.

Your uncle, I can't kill you by drinking... Seeing this, Zhou Fugui scolded again in his heart, and respectfully poured the wooden cup in front of Hu Yansheng with wine.

Zhou Fugui was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and at this time, he couldn't wait to get rid of Hu Yansheng, and he was deliberating while feasting...

Hu Yansheng took a big sip of wine and said to Fan Guxi: "Where is the plunder? Plunder the northern barbarians? And how much can be looted? It's not a long-term solution. ”

"Why don't you send troops to plunder the thief's village?" Hearing this, Fan Guxi suggested: "It's not okay to be Xiang, why don't you go south?" ”

"To the south? Robbing the people? The people's lives are already extremely difficult, and how many families have overnight food? Hu Yansheng shook his head when he heard this.

"The Metropolitan Governor..."Fan Guxi said again: "The bandits in Feilong Mountain, Lanling Mountain and other places have been making a lot of trouble recently, why don't you send troops to quell the thieves?" They must have plenty of bread and grass and goods. ”

When Zhou Fugui heard the words "Feilong Mountain", he immediately became energetic, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to their discussion.

Hu Yansheng really sent troops to attack Feilong Mountain, so how should Zhou Fugui respond?

At that time, Zhou Fugui was taken captive by the bandits of Feilong Mountain, but Yuan Meiyu and others did save Zhou Fugui's life from the bear's mouth; Second, Feilong Mountain Cottage is really good for Zhou Fugui, a few days in Feilong Mountain, it can be said that Zhou Fugui has the most comfortable days these days; In the end, Zhou Fugui ran away from marriage and said goodbye without saying goodbye, he really couldn't live with Yuan Meiyu, and Zhou Fugui was still a little sorry in his heart.

If Hu Yansheng agrees to send troops to attack Feilong Mountain, will he find a way to report to them? Zhou Fugui said secretly in his heart.

But Zhou Fugui was completely wrong, Hu Yansheng just smiled and shook his head when he heard this, his meaning was already very clear, that is, he did not plan to send troops to attack the bandits in Feilong Mountain, Lanling Mountain and other places.

"The governor of the capital, neither the north nor the south, there is nothing to be done by the lower officials." Seeing this, Fan Guxi spread his hands and said.

"Hmm..."Hu Yansheng pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Why don't you do the thing of righteous rent?" ”

Isn't that a robbery? Fan Guxi nodded after muttering in his heart when he heard this.

The so-called free rent, that is, the rent and transportation of the people, is to force the people to pay taxes and use them as military rations, and it is by no means out of the people's will, but it is better than the name of plunder.

Zhou Fugui didn't know what the word "rent" meant, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"Fan Sima, you go to supervise the matter of the charity rent, go and do it immediately, you must use it in the army for a year." Hu Yansheng said to Fan Guxi.

"Governor, why are you so anxious?" Fan Guxi asked when he heard this.

"There are many border police, and the old man has to take precautions in advance." Hu Yansheng replied.

..................

"Zhou Fugui, come over here." After Fan Guxi left, Zhou Fugui and other attendants also planned to walk out of the house, but Hu Yansheng stopped him alone.

The other three attendants glanced at Zhou Fugui enviously, then walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Governor, what's the matter?" Zhou Fugui bowed down and asked, but his eyes fell on the food and wine on the table, and his stomach growled, but anyone who was not deaf could hear it.

Hu Yansheng only didn't see or hear it, leaned on the cushion, looked at Zhou Fugui and asked, "How did you sleep yesterday?" ”

"It's alright, thank you, Grand Duke." Zhou Fugui bowed and replied.

"What did Old Man Xie do?" Hu Yansheng nodded and asked, "Have you figured out something?" ”

"I figured it out..."Zhou Fugui replied: "It's not appropriate to do it below, and it's really not worth being the one who leads the troops." ”

"Not necessarily, sit down." Hu Yansheng nodded.

Zhou Fugui knelt on the ground when he heard this.

"There are no generals in the world who win a hundred battles, generals who win impermanently, but there are people who are indomitable." Hu Yansheng said to Zhou Fugui: "Throughout the ages, which famous general has not suffered defeat? You also know about things like lying on the salary, don't you? ”

"Hmm..."Zhou Fugui nodded when he heard this: "How can you not know about the matter of King Yue Goujian?" It's just that he is a subordinate army, how dare he compare it with Gou Jian? ”

"Yue Wang Goujian is still a cheap slave under Wu Wangfu's rank." Hu Yansheng glared at Zhou Fugui and then asked, "What do you think of this?" ”

"What's the matter?" Zhou Fugui asked in amazement when he heard this.

"Haven't you heard about the salary in the army? still looks suspicious. Hu Yansheng said.

"Oh, the soldiers and horses haven't moved, the grain and grass go first." Zhou Fugui said: "Those who are worried about the governor of the capital should worry about the soldiers, but there are some questions below, is the governor going to use troops recently?" ”

"When will there be no soldiers at the border gates?" Hu Yansheng asked rhetorically when he heard this.
