Chapter 336: Betting (2)

What is a bet?

The situation is still unclear, so choose the side you want to support, and make a contribution to the saddle before and after, this is the bet!

Blindly waiting, it is indeed safe, and waiting for the winning side to be big is just the icing on the cake, where can you get the credit of sending charcoal in the snow.

Gao Dalang looked at his father with a determined face, and exhaled a long breath: "Okay, I'll listen to my father."

A hint of relief flashed in the eyes of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and he said slowly, "I won't be wrong."

Gao Dalang thought for a while and said, "The prince not only wants to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, but also to appease the people of Qinghe County. Stay in Qinghe County for at least a few months. I have taken advantage of this time to be closer to the son of the world, and only the son of the world is the first to look forward."

Where is this enough.

Marquis Zhongyong said in a low voice, "I want to marry Ping Ping Xu to Xu San."

Gao Dalang: "......"

Gao Dalang is actually mentally prepared. However, when he suddenly heard what Marquis Zhongyong said, his face was still a little stiff: "Xu San captured Zhou Sui alive and made a great contribution. I also rescued my father from the bandits, I know all this. However, the thought of him being my brother-in-law makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Xu San's background as a soldier made Gao Dalang a little awkward. I always feel that my baby sister is too wronged to marry such a husband.

After saying these words, the Marquis of Zhongyong had exhausted his strength, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Gao Dalang had to shut his mouth, got up and poured a bowl of warm water, and waited for the Marquis Zhongyong to drink.

What the Gao family's father and son said in private, naturally no one knew.

However, in the following days, Xu Jing could clearly receive Gao Dalang's closeness and goodwill. Xu Jing is not stupid, so he naturally has to laugh.

The Gao family is one of the three major generals, and the loyal and brave Hou Gao Peng has been in charge of the army for many years. Even if the power of the Gao family is declining at the moment, it should not be underestimated.

The Gao family placed a bet at this time to show their support for him, which shows the decisiveness of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

With Gao Dalang's full support, the soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion, who were not very convinced by Xu Jing, quickly settled down. The two factions in the barracks, which had clear barriers, were also eased. The most obvious thing is that the soldiers in the Tiger Battalion of the Cavalry Battalion have much less quarrels and fights in private.

The so-called arrogant soldiers have always been like this. The Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Iron Guard Battalion did not deal with each other, and they despised each other with the Praetorian Guard, and naturally they looked down on the Tiger Battalion, which had just been in the army for half a year. And the Tiger Battalion, most of them are the children of the generals, young and enthusiastic. It's strange that the two armies are mixed together and don't make a fuss.

Liao Xima, who is in charge of military law, is busy all day long, working hard, and is about to bald. Now that there is harmony in the barracks, Liao Xima can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As for the Shen Sheren, he led a thousand people out to "raise" military salaries. Shen Sheren himself was born in a big family, and he was clear about the methods of the powerful and powerful clan. Therefore, the effect is remarkable and remarkable. The food and grass brought into the barracks were hardly broken.

The grain and grass raised in just one month were enough for more than 30,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of war horses to eat for a year.

Shen Sheren has worked hard and made great achievements, and Xu Jing will not be slow. On this day, Shen Sheren personally sent food back to the barracks, and Xu Jing held a banquet in the military tent.

There was a banquet in the barracks, and everything was simple. Let the cook cook a few dishes and put two jugs of wine on the table, and it is already a rare hearty delicacy.

Thirty-year-old Shen Sheren entered the military tent and was about to bow his hand, Xu Jing had already strode over, and laughed loudly: "You don't have to salute, come and sit quickly."

As he spoke, he patted Shen Sheren's shoulder affectionately: "These days, you have been running around, and you have worked hard. Have a few drinks tonight."

Shen Sheren is a civil official from the two ranks of Jinshi, and he is busy riding horses all day long, and he is so tired that he is about to fall apart. At this time, he was so close to Xu Jing that he was warm, smiled and sat down opposite Xu Jing.

"I asked someone to call Liao Xima," Xu Jing smiled, "and Gao Wang."

Gao Wang is the full name of Gao Dalang, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

A moment later, Liao Xima and Gao Wang entered the military tent one after the other.

Xu Jing personally poured a glass of wine for the three of them. Gao Wang was flattered and wanted to get up to thank him, but Xu Jing pressed his shoulders and sat back: "There is no one else tonight, just the four of us, don't talk about any identity when drinking." In terms of age, you are all older than me. I'll give it to you

A glass of wine is nothing."

Liao Xima and Shen Sheren knew that Xu Jing was trying to win them over, and their hearts were also warm.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was bent on helping the prince of Beihai to ascend the throne, and they were ordered by the prince to go out with the army, and it was right for Xu Jing to help on an errand. Originally, they were a little apprehensive, after all, among Xu Jing's many advantages, patience never included.

I never thought that Xu Jing was very polite to them. Acting like this tonight, he regarded them as his own confidants.

Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods are in the emperor's house. If Xu Jing really has that luck, he will sit on the dragon chair in the future, and they will all be regarded as heroes from the dragon.

Two pots of wine, no matter how slow you drink, you will be finished in half an hour.

Xu Jing said with some regret: "It is not advisable to drink too much in the barracks, and when we return to the capital in the future, we will have another drink, and we will not return if we are not drunk."

Then, he personally sent the three out of the military tent.

After Shen Sheren returned to the military tent, I don't know if it was because he was a little excited after drinking too much, or for some other reason, he couldn't sleep for a long time. simply got up and went to Liao Xima's military tent.

Liao Xima didn't sleep either, and when he saw Shen Sheren coming, he couldn't help laughing: "I was about to get up and talk to you, but I didn't expect you to come."

Shen Sheren and Liao Xima were both subordinate officials in the East Palace, and they had a lot of friendship in private. Now they are marching together with the army, and they are getting closer to each other.

Shen Sheren smiled and said, "You have brought good tea leaves, go and make a pot of tea." I'll drink a cup of tea to relieve my hangover."

Liao Xima was not too troublesome, so he got up and went to wash the teapot and made a pot of tea with the treasured good tea. The two of them each sat opposite each other with a cup of tea, sniffing the refreshing aroma of tea, and taking a sip from time to time.

After drinking half a cup of tea slowly, Liao Xima suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you think what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do can be done?"

Shen Sheren said in a low voice, "When I was in the East Palace before, I thought that the probability of success in this matter was at most thirty percent. Now, it seems, at least fifty percent."

Liao Xima smiled: "I thought there were at least six or seven percent."

"I used to hear about the Tao, but now that I am in the barracks, I can be regarded as seeing the excellence of the Son of the World. Now that the world is in turmoil, he can lead the army to win the battle, and he has the compassion to pity the people, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose the prince."

Shen Sheren was silent for a moment before he whispered, "You really have to think about it?"

From the dragon's skill, it is not so easy to fight. At this time, the bet is actually a little early. However, the rewards and risks are directly proportional.

Liao Xima nodded: "I think about it. How are you?"

Shen Sheren was silent for a long time, exhaled, and reached out to shake Liao Xima.

Liao Xima grinned.
