Chapter 104: The Fisherman Profits
"Little sir, I've found a rut!"
A rut is no ordinary rut. Instead, according to Chen Jing's requirements, he found the deepest rut.
"Leads to the depths of the mountains on the right." Li Zhou's voice was heavy.
On both sides of the Wolf Swallowing Pass, there are mountains of wild mountains. The mountains are steep and difficult to enter unless you are familiar with the trails.
But these did not stump Chen Jing.
He left a rebel alive, and only after confirming that he was familiar with the mountain road was he willing to let him be guilty of meritorious service.
At this time, it was almost noon, and the hot and dry weather in the Manshan area and the stove-like weather made the more than 200 people who marched for a long time become a little thirsty for water.
"It's at the bottom of the mountain."
The faces of the guards who carried the knives became cautious. At the foot of the mountain, the terrain near this area is the most suitable for hiding.
Li Zhou lifted the knife and cut some dwarf artemisia grass, and after a while, he found a heavy rut again.
"Little sir, it should be ahead."
Chen Jing exhaled, took Xing Xiaojiu and a few people, and touched it first. After slowly peeling back the thorn grass and trees, sure enough, a rebel army of hundreds of people was found, hiding here.
From a distance, a general in armor had his back facing each other, holding the wine jar and pouring it, he was a little angry, and smashed the wine jar after a few sips.
Chen Jing frowned. Looking sideways, he even saw several carriages loaded with treasures.
"Boss, the rebels patrolling the sentry have come back."
"Leave first."
……
"That is, about five hundred rebels." In the artemisia grassland at the foot of the mountain, Li Zhou's voice was deep, "These rebels should be the elite of Zhu Biao's lineage. Otherwise, I'll go back and move first? ”
Chen Jing shook his head. If this is the case, Zhu Biao's head is very likely to be snatched away. But as Li Zhou said, this group of people should be the elite descendants of the rebels, and in order to protect money, Zhu Biao will definitely fight to the death.
"Dutou, little sir—"
Just as Chen Jing was thinking, suddenly, a guard who was patrolling outside hurriedly ran back.
"What? So anxious. ”
"Dutou, that staff member Zhang Su is also coming towards the foot of the mountain!"
Li Zhou frowned, "This old man, he can't say that he has been staring at me and waiting." ”
Chen Jing's face was silent. Today's situation is a bit chaotic. In the front is the rebels, and in the back is the old staff Zhang Su's meritorious army.
According to Zhang Su's temperament, if he really found Zhu Biao, he would definitely be overjoyed, and then cover up the past-
"Captain Li, hide first."
"Hide, hide?" Li Zhou was stunned, "Mr. Xiao, this is a great opportunity for meritorious service." ”
Chen Jing naturally knew. But now, even if he led people to kill him, in a hurry, he might not be able to kill the rebels. Even if he wins miserably, this credit will be snatched away by Zhang Su.
"I mean, let Zhang Su's people fight the rebels first, and I'll wait for the right time. At that time, if Zhang Su wins and the rebels flee without being defeated, we will stop and kill in front. If Zhang Su is defeated and flees in a hurry, the rebels will be defeated and wounded, which is also a good opportunity. ”
Li Zhou, who was beside him, looked a little hesitant.
"Little sir, Da Ran's military discipline must not give up his robe."
Chen Jing turned his head and looked at Li Zhou's face unchanged, "Captain Li, if you and I go to fight first, we will win the battle and have military merits." Do you think Zhang Su will rob it? ”
"Will rob ......"
"That's it. This military merit is not only me, but also the rank and rank go out of the city together, and they all have a share. Don't forget, there are still a few carts of treasure. ”
Hearing this, Li Zhou and the others were shocked. The husband in front of him really dares to say it. If the prison guards are found to have embezzled property, they may be beaten to death with military sticks.
"I also know the military discipline of Daran, the wealth of the bandits and rebels, if you hand it over, you will get one out of fifty, and I will leave it to you without taking a penny."
Fifty gets one, which probably means that if you destroy the rebels and hand over fifty taels of property, you will get a reward of one tael. These carriages have an estimated value of at least tens of thousands of taels.
But according to the death law of one out of fifty, even if you hand it all over, it will only be a reward of a thousand taels of silver. One thousand taels is not much, if you give it up, in exchange for the cooperation of these two hundred personal guards, to obtain the enemy chieftain, it is actually a very cost-effective deal.
Of course, these tens of thousands of taels, if you don't want to be tempted, it must be fake. But in this situation, there are many people, and Chen Jing can't guarantee that after he eats it, there will be no trouble.
"In addition, in addition to the main general Zhu family brothers, I also don't take these military merits from the other rebel generals and captains."
"Little gentleman, great righteousness." Li Zhou hurriedly surrendered his hand. A few guards on the side were also moved.
"Wait for the meeting to send someone first, pretend to say to Zhang Su, put down the rebellion together, and share the military merits, which can be regarded as leaving a way back." Chen Jing smiled. "Naturally, he refused, and only thought about dominating this military feat."
"Tsk, then everyone, we'll go according to the plan."
At this moment, the guards didn't say a word, and they all followed Chen Jing and retreated first.
In a hurry, Chen Jing turned his head. Next, it's time for the old staff to fight the rebels. This method is actually a bit risky. If this group of people is powerful, not only defeating the rebels, but also taking the head of the Zhu brothers, it is impossible to say that this time they will go to the barbarian mountain and completely work for nothing.
But Chen Jing guessed that Zhu Biao, who was the battle of trapped beasts, should be crazy and bloodthirsty in order to protect his wealth.
……
"Strategist, the rebels have been discovered!"
After getting off the horse, Zhang Su, who was out of the woods, heard this, hurriedly lifted his trouser belt, and ran back surrounded by several battalion soldiers.
"That's it...... That's true! Zhang Su's old face showed a look of ecstasy, so much so that his voice changed a little.
"Strategist, naturally take it seriously, just in front of the foot of the mountain."
Zhang Su hurriedly got on the horse. But after all, he was a staff eater, and he seemed to think of something, "By the way, what about Li Guang's personal guards?" Before, wasn't it in front? ”
"I just sent someone over, and I want to suppress the rebellion together and divide the military merits equally."
Zhang Su narrowed his eyes, "Li Guang has the merit of breaking the city, and he wants to get his hands on the merit of the enemy chieftain." This is true, and it is a bit of a way to live. Don't pay attention to it, we'll put down the rebellion first! ”
Under Zhang Su's order, the five or six hundred people who followed lined up in formation and moved forward to kill him.
According to Zhang Su's thoughts, first the city was broken, and then the panic escaped, and the morale of these rebels should be overwhelmed.
As the chief staff of the South, he naturally has some intelligence. But he ignores the biggest reason why people are most likely to go crazy in this world.
That is, greed.
