Zhou Yuji looked at Wang Guoxing, "Why does the prince say that about himself?" ”

Wang Guoxing smiled, "Hou Ye Zhou, Guo Xing is self-aware, our Hou Ye is sealed by taking advantage of his aunt's light, unlike you who got it on the battlefield with a knife and a gun with your real skills, we don't know if it's windy and rainy outside, and we still know how many taels we can eat in a meal." ”

Zhou Yuji laughed, "Lord Wang, it's really interesting for you to speak." To be honest, only people like you can be invincible, this war? There is no knowledge, first, if you are not afraid of death and dare to play with your life, if you are not afraid of death, your brother is not afraid of death, second, knowing that you are invincible, the prince always feels that he can't do it, once he is going to fight, he will use his brains to find a way to defeat the enemy, but he can win the enemy. ”

Wang Guoxing didn't believe what Zhou Yuji said, of course, he knew that Zhou Yuji said this to make him happy to hear it, "You can pull it down!" What is the basis for war? By resourcefulness, do you think people like me are resourceful? The only thing I have confidence in is that I'm not afraid of death, hehe! I don't dare to brag, I'm really not afraid of death, I'm not afraid of death, and I don't know until I get to the battlefield. ”

Zhou Yuji felt that Wang Guoxing's speech was too interesting, "Oops! Lord Wang, I really didn't have much contact with the nobles before, but today I know that the prince is so funny, we have a similar temper, we are friends, and we will support each other in the future and contribute to the court together! ”

Wang Guoxing looked at Zhou Yuji, "That's what I said!" That's right! Being able to make friends with Marquis Zhou is a blessing for my kingdom! Ay! Marquis Zhou, you are now a noble man, and you are still a super general who is very, very important to the emperor, so you have to take care of it more in the future. I tell you, I just worked as an errand in the brocade guard, and I often don't go, sometimes, I don't go to order a Mao for several days, I don't know how the emperor took a fancy to my piece of material, what do the border guards do? You don't want to be taught. ”

Zhou Yuji said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, take care of the soldiers, everyone work together, be familiar with the terrain, understand the enemy's movements, and prepare early." Regarding leading troops, I'm afraid we all have to learn from the left. ”

Wang Guoxing agreed with Zhou Yuji's statement, "That must be, along the way, the eleven people of Zuo Dudu are far stronger than the captain of Jinyi Guard, and my group is tired, you see that there is nothing wrong with them, this is the gap." ”

Zhou Yuji said: "I'm afraid it's more than that, just say that these people are copycats, I can't take them away, and you can't take them away, do you know why?" The most important thing is that these people have special trust and worship Zuo Dudu, I have been on this mountain for more than ten days, I heard that people either go to the grassland to rob cattle and sheep, or rob illegal businessmen in the middle of the road, and have never missed a hand, what does it mean? It can be seen that Zuo Dudu is really a talent. Don't look at people living in this place, but people don't worry about eating, drinking, hoarding countless grains, and eating beef and mutton at will, we can't do this at all, alas! The country is too poor, my brothers who died in the war are gone, they still owe two months' salaries and they have not been paid, and even the roster has been lost, and I don't know how to find their families when the court will give them money in the future, I am really ashamed! ”

As he spoke, Zhou Yuji cried.

Wang Guoxing didn't know how to comfort Zhou Yuji, "Alas! Master Hou, look for it slowly, don't you know when everyone's family members come to the door? Don't cry, I'll tell you two happy things? ”

Zhou Yuji wiped away his tears, "What's the joy?" ”

Wang Guoxing said: "There are really happy things, the first is that the emperor is going to build a martyr's memorial hall, and the spiritual seats of all those who died fighting for the country can be enshrined in it, which is a good thing for us to be soldiers, right?" Second, now that the country has money, there is no need to worry about no silver in the future, I tell you, I will bring 500,000 taels of silver this time, you 300,000 taels for Datong, I use 200,000 for Xuanfu, originally the emperor explained to bring more, I am afraid that I will bring more on the road slowly, the emperor can say, when you master Datong, report the demand as soon as possible, and the court will immediately release it. ”

Zhou Yuji didn't believe it a little, every time he asked for funds, the court delayed it again and again, and in the end, he had to give less, where did the court get the money? "Master Hou, you're not joking, are you?"

"No kidding, do you know how much silver the emperor's inner treasury has saved now? It is said that there is no place to stand when it is full, and there are eight or nine million in the treasury of the household. ”

Zhou Yuji was surprised, "Why do you suddenly have so much silver?" ”

Wang Guoxing told him about the raid.

"It's all a move from the governor of Zuo to the emperor, I estimate, it's time to raid Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen's homes in the past two days, there are a lot of people involved in the Jingying case, it is estimated that many people will be unlucky, you said that the money they are greedy for should not be spit out intact? At this moment, I'm afraid it's not much worse than checking and recalling, do you say that the court is still short of money? ”

Zhou Yuji is completely fluted, I'll wipe it! And what's going on? However, he believed that what Wang Guoxing said was true, and he immediately became happy. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was still a little worried in his heart before, the soldiers in Datong were all people who Jiang Hao had brought for many years, it was easy to arrest Jiang Huang, but it was difficult to appease these soldiers, because the imperial court still had no money to pay, if someone instigated it, everyone gathered together to ask you for silver, it was really difficult to handle, and if it was not handled well, it would be a mess.

Wang Daliang came back, "The two marquis have been arranged, and they will send two hundred and sixty sheep, two cows, more than 20,000 catties of grain, and a dozen cauldrons, and the team will also be brought to the edge of the puddle. I'm starting to pack up here, so we can leave tomorrow. ”

Wang Guoxing jumped up with joy when he heard this, "Great, brother!" When you arrive at Xuanfu, I will invite you to drink a lot of wine! ”

Wang Daliang smiled: "Okay! Hou Ye is a happy person, I can't read, just a rough person, but I like to deal with people like Hou Ye, of course, I also like to read like our second master, Hou Ye has worked all the way, let's get drunk tonight. ”

Wang Guoxing patted Wang Daliang on the shoulder and laughed, "Brother, you will follow Zuo Dudu to do a good job in the future, and you will also be a general in the future!" ”

Wang Daliang smiled, "Master Hou, don't make fun of us, it's not important to be an official, I'm happy to be with the second master." ”

Zhou Yuji said with a smile: "The big boss is a real person, but it is certain that he will be a big official in the future." ”

Wang Daliang looked at Zhou Yuji, "Master Hou is also joking." ”

"Hmmm! This is not a joke with you, the second leader is the queen mother's righteous son, the emperor's nephew, we have to be respectful when we see each other, you are a friend of life and death, can you take care of you? ”

Wang Daliang was puzzled, "Marquis Zhou, isn't it?" Our second leader became the son of the queen mother, so don't you become buddies with the emperor? Why did the younger generation become nephews? ”

Zhou Yuji and Wang Guoxing laughed, and Zhou Yuji told Wang Daliang about the relationship between Zhang Yan, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse and Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen Emperor.

Wang Daliang scratched the hair on his head, "Ah! That's right! Lord Wang, our second head turned out to be the nephew of the Queen Mother's mother's family? ”

Wang Guoxing smiled, "Where do I know this?" Come to think of it, you and the governor have been together for a long time, why don't you know the identity of the governor? ”

Wang Daliang Han smiled, "Where can I know this?" The year before last, I took 20 brothers out to get some food, and on the way back, I saw that the second master was about to freeze to death, so I got it to the mountains. ”

Wang Guoxing said: "Oh! I understood, it must have been when Zuo Dudu was on an errand for the emperor, and he wore less clothes and encountered bad weather. ”

Wang Daliang said with a smile: "It's still the Hou Ye who is smart, our place, it's fine in the morning, it's not hot, and if there is a strong wind in the evening, you dare to snow heavily, the two Hou Ye will talk for a while, I'll see if the food is ready?" Let's drink and dump the donkey tonight. ”

Wang Guoxing was taken aback, "What are you doing with a stuffy donkey?" ”

Zhou Yuji laughed, "You definitely haven't drunk it, it's definitely enjoyable!" ”

Fifteen miles south of Mo'er Mountain, there is a mountain called Crescent Mountain, the mountain is not high, looking down from the sky, like a crescent moon.

The Foundling River is a seasonal river, it flows for two days when it rains, and it only shines for ten days, and there is not even a drop of water in the river.

The Foundling River flows under the Crescent Mountain, and flows into the big pit at the hook of the Crescent Mountain, which is not as deep as Wang Daliang said, but the area is very large, even after a long winter, the water in the pit will not dry up. At this time, the big pit was still covered with thick ice on the surface, Zhao Shi led a group of people to drive cattle and sheep, led horses and carried grain, brought two thousand Jinyi guards here, and told Jinyi Wei that no one should go up on the ice, the bottom is empty, and you can get water by smashing a big hole on the side.

A few thirsty brocade guards immediately started, there were no other tools, each of them had embroidered spring knives, and they also carried mountain axes.

Sure enough, the situation under the ice was as Zhao Shi said, it was empty below, and there was a pit of clear water in the depths of half a battle.

Everyone has already explained the situation, the cottage can't accommodate so many people at all, however, cut some wood, take the fire, and it won't be cold at night, the key is that there is a good mouth tonight, more than 200 sheep, you can eat a beautiful meal, and you will eat dry food in the past two days.

Wang Daliang has an order, leave a few people here, what's the matter? Hurry back to the cottage and say.

Zhou Yuji's wife was invited to the hall, this Mrs. Zhou is Mongolian, very tall, very bold personality, Wang Guoxing saw Mrs. Zhou hurriedly saluted, and also admired, this Mrs. Zhou is also a heroine, I heard that in Ningwuguan with Zhou Yuji killed a lot of Li Zicheng's people.

Two large pots of stewed mutton, steaming, looking greedy, Wang Daliang poured wine and began to speak, "Two Hou Ye, Madam, our shabby place, there is nothing to eat, I respect the two Hou Ye and Mrs. on behalf of the cottage." ”

Wang Guoxing laughed, "Brother, your eloquence is good!" The food is even better! I'm waiting for you. ”

Saying that, everyone touched the wine, Wang Guoxing took a sip, and then coughed, almost tears came out, "Brother! What kind of wine is this? Why are you so rushed? ”

Zhou Yuji laughed, "If you don't rush, can you call the donkey boring?" ”

Wang Guoxing understood, and dared to love this with a very high degree, "I'll wipe it!" Stuffy donkey? Looks like I'm going to put it over here today. ”

"Get drunk! You've got to drink this thing slowly. ”
