If Liu Wei was not so good to the soldiers, he did not set the merits and military salaries.

Then waiting for those two negligent soldiers is only a dead end.

In other armies, this is the only result for dereliction of duty.

But in the current imperial court, they are relatively still able to take a step back.

But being sentenced to prison is not a good result.

This prisoner is no longer the other prisoner.

The current prisoners, that is, the real prisoners, are the ones who charge into battle, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work.

One of their drowsiness can be regarded as a complete destruction of their future.

But it was these two soldiers who made the atmosphere of the entire single-father court soldiers and horses instantly become unprecedentedly serious.

The emperor personally disposed of it, which was a very signal to ordinary soldiers and generals of various ministries.

With the entire meritorious system already ripe, there is no one who does not dare not care about this matter.

Even those who are willing to give up their exploits have to think about their own lives.

If it weren't for the emperor's intervention, this was actually not a very serious matter, and it made the entire single father city unprecedentedly slaughtered.

Even the soldiers guarding the city kept their waists straight and tried to stand more mighty.

After Cao Ren finished eating that meal with Xun You, he lived in the barracks with a black face.

In addition to dealing with military affairs, he wandered around the rest of the things.

……

Morning song.

The old capital of the Shang Dynasty.

It's just that the song of the dynasty at this time can only vaguely see the shadow of the former Shang Dynasty.

In an extremely ordinary restaurant, a man with a rough and swarthy face has eaten more than a dozen cakes in a row, but he still refuses to give up. A sip of cloudy wine, and a few bites of bread, this most simple food was eaten by him with the feeling of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

"If you have a fart, let it go, what are you doing staring at me eating!" The man glanced at the middle-aged man next to him and scolded.

The middle-aged man with the sword hanging obliquely on his waist chuckled and said, "I just haven't seen a person who eats so freely and refreshingly, I can't help but look at it twice, General Tao don't mind." ”

The man finished the cake in his hand in three or two bites, took another one, and while eating it in a big gulp, he scolded and said: "That's because you children of the family have never been hungry, and when you are hungry for nine meals in ten days, you must eat more freely and refreshingly than me!" ”

"You are the prime minister of Jibei, and you have come all the way to find me, what is the matter? You might as well say it explicitly! ”

This middle-aged man is none other than Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei who disappeared inexplicably.

He arched his hand and said: "Since General Tao is so refreshing, I won't hide it, I came here for the sake of the alliance." ”

"Why?" The man's slender eyes instantly stood up, "Alliance?!" ”

"Exactly!" Bao Xin nodded and said, "I am Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu on behalf of Zuo Zhonglang. ”

The man shook his head and sneered: "Yuan Benchu? Jibei Xiang, are you really stupid for us in the market? As for Yuan Shao, what kind of general is Zuozhonglang, the imperial court has sent troops to crusade against him, he is still a minister?! ”

"The emperor is dazed and has no way to tolerate loyal ministers in his eyes, which is also a last resort." Bao Xin didn't sigh, shook his head and said.

"Can you get out of the way, isn't it all black and white up to your mouth? If there are any loyal ministers and traitors, I don't think there is a good one. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is not good, the emperor is not a good emperor, and the courtiers are not good courtiers, otherwise, we people would not have rebelled, right? The man scolded.

Bao Xin patiently continued: "Could it be that the general has always been entrenched in the Black Mountain and made a living by plundering? You have hundreds of thousands of people, how can there be any place to grab in the entire Qingzhou? How long can you go on like this? ”

"Qingzhou doesn't have to rob, so grab other places!" The man said nonchalantly, "The world is getting bigger, and we have a lot of people, so it's not a problem to attack the city." ”

Bao Xin shook his head, "No matter who dominates the world, I will not let you go." Why don't the generals take this opportunity and get a knighthood? Even if the dynasty changes in the future, the general does not have to live so hard. ”

"Who gave me the title, you?" The man asked, turning his head.

"I can recommend a general." Bao Xin said, "The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan, full of loyal martyrs, if the general pulls out the army to help at this time, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future, and the general's credit will inevitably be indispensable." ”

"A chaotic minister and thief, it's not much better than us, and he also rewards me for meritorious deeds, so it's better for us to fight a few by ourselves! Okay, in that case, I advise you not to say it again, I will not agree. Nearly twenty cakes were in his stomach, and the man finally seemed to be a little full, he patted his stomach and said a little lazily.

Bao Xin was a little disappointed.

Tao Xian's attitude of not eating oil and salt made him feel helpless that Wang Ba had nowhere to eat turtles.

But he finally found Tao Xian all the way, and he didn't want to stop there.

After a moment of silence, he said again: "I know that General Tao has some resentment against us in his heart, but I can assure the general that if the general is willing to send troops to help General Yuan, a lieutenant general is still more than enough. ”

"Casual Zhonglang General, do you think I will care? Labor and management are now General Pinghan, and I sealed it myself! Majestic or not? Tao Xian squinted his eyes and snorted coldly.

"General, the imperial army has already swung north at this time, and when I left Jibei County, the 30,000 troops of the imperial court had already arrived. After crossing Taishan County, you will reach Qingzhou. With the court's consistent attitude towards the Yellow Turban Rebels, do you think the court will ignore you? Bao Xin changed his perspective and continued.

"The great sage and good teacher led 36 square canal commanders, with millions of soldiers, and the defeat was like a landslide. Can the general really stop the soldiers and horses of the imperial court with this black mountain alone? You may not know that the three dukes in the court today are Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and the three generals of Huangfu Song, who broke the great sage and good teacher. ”

"They turn a blind eye to the cruel and unkind emperor, but they will never let you continue to wreak havoc, this is the darkness of the imperial court. If we want to fight against the minions of the dim court, we must join forces, with General Yuan Benchu as the leader and Jizhou as the rear camp. ”

"Only by defeating the imperial army can we have the opportunity to negotiate with the emperor, whether it is to urge the emperor to change his mind, or to set up a new monarch, in short, at that time, it is our hope."

Tao Xian's brows furrowed, "You said that the imperial court was killed all the way?" ”

"What if you don't kill it? Rebels from all over the country rose up against the dim court. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the imperial court still has elite soldiers and strong generals available, and Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song are in charge of the three mansions, and fighting is what they are best at. Bao Xin saw that Tao Xian was a little shaken, and immediately added fire.

"Moreover, above this black mountain, it is Zhang Feiyan who has the final say, even if you have the heart, general, I am afraid it will be difficult to change the situation."

"Looking at the three states of Qing, You, and Hebei, there is only Yuan Benchu who can be the leader of virtue!"

"Doesn't the general think about his future and future generations?"
