If you want to raise 3,000 soldiers, no matter how you say it, you need a gathering place of no less than 10,000 people.

And Yangwangtun, the total population is probably less than 1,000!

However, judging from the architectural remains, there should have been quite a few people here.

Although the martial arts exercise ground is deserted, it covers a vast area, which is enough to accommodate thousands of people to practice military formations here.

It's just that at this time, it has become a place for drying rice and bad rice, and it has long lost the smell of killing.

After entering the tun, the group walked slowly along the martial arts arena.

There were also many people in the military camp who threw curious glances at them, and a few people hurriedly ran away.

The armory is located next to the martial arts arena.

The gate is locked.

Guo Fan, whose face was gloomy, gestured, and someone stepped forward to check the door lock.

"I'm coming!"

Mo Linglong took a step forward, a cold light flashed on her waist, and with the sound of 'dangchang', the door lock had already landed.

The long sword in her hand is also a sharp blade that sharpens iron like clay.

"Squeaky ......"

Pushing open the outer door, a musty smell that has not entered for a long time is rushing to the face, making people subconsciously hide their faces.

"How long has it been since this has been used?"

Gongsun Yun frowned and stepped forward, waved his hand and slapped the dust, and said: "In the military tun, according to the rules, there must be a drill every five days and a practice every ten days. ”

"You still need to say it!"

Gan Xingba entered side by side with him, glanced at the weapons scattered in the house, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

"The weapons are all hairy, can the fuck still be used?"

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a spear, and with a slight shake, the barrel of the spear was directly broken from it.

The tip of the gun fell to the ground, and even hit a slight arc!

"Boom la la ......"

There is no need to stack up the ordnance, and the slightest touch will be dusty and the sound of collision will be endless.

"Ahem......"

At this moment, everyone's faces became more and more difficult to look at.

"General, there is even armor here!"

Mo Linglong's eyes were sharp, and with excitement on her face, she took out a step armor and handed it over.

"Hmm. ”

Guo Fan stretched out his hand to take it, flipped it in his palm, and then doubled his hair slightly and pulled it gently.

"Rak ......"

The cloth armor inlaid with copper and iron to block bows and arrows was gently torn in half by him like a piece of paper.

Inside, it's filled with some bad cotton and shredded paper!

"Peng!"

Breaking the armor and falling to the ground, stirring up a little dust, Guo Fan turned around abruptly and walked out without saying a word.

"General!"

"General!"

Everyone followed, anxious.

"It's General Liu?"

As soon as I went out, I saw a white-haired hunchbacked old man with a few young people hurrying over.

"It's General Liu. ”

Gongsun Yun stepped forward and asked, "Are you the tun chief here?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. ”

The old man bowed down and waved his hand again and again: "The old man is the old man of the Bentun clan, and the tun chief has not yet arrived behind." ”

"Clan Elder?"

Guo Fan glanced at the satchel on his waist and asked, "Do you have a roster of the Yangwang Tuntun Army here?"

"Yes, yes. ”

The old man nodded, and while tremblingly taking the roster, he led the way forward: "General, please enter the main hall." ”

The Great Hall of the Council was also deserted.

Fortunately, there are often people gathered here, and you can still see it.

Guo Fan sat down in the main seat in the center, took the roster handed by the old man, and asked at the same time, "How many people are there in Juntun?"

"Back to General. ”

The old man bowed: "There are 807 people in Yangwangtun, 296 young and strong men, and the rest are old and young women and children. ”

"Eight hundred and seven!"

Guo Fan flipped through the roster, and his face was uncertain.

"But the roster I got from the government has more than 10,000 people here, and there are 3,000 strong!"

"I wonder what you should explain?"

"This ......"

The old man opened his mouth and lowered his head and said, "The old man only counts the soldiers and the people, and I don't know anything else." ”

Guo Fan sneered: "You mean, there are people in the government who falsely report people to eat empty salaries?"

"And it has nothing to do with you?"

"Puff ......"

The old man's knees weakened, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "The old man doesn't dare to think about it, but I really don't know about this matter!"

"Peng!"

Guo Fanmeng slapped the case, and said in a deep voice: "The number of soldiers in the cantonment needs to be signed and detained, you said you don't know?"

"General!"

The old man knelt on the ground and shouted: "The old man really doesn't know!"

Several young people behind him trembled even more, burying their heads in their chests.

"General!"

At this time, Lu Gui dragged a person to the main hall, threw the person to the ground, and said, "He is the tun chief here." ”

This tun has a round face, a fat body, and a brocade robe, like a foreign master.

Covered in alcohol, drunk and hazy, as if he had not yet sobered up.

"Who are you?"

It seemed that someone had just been dragged up from the bed, and he yelled in a daze: "But you know who I am, the governor of Dingkang City is my cousin, don't you want to rebel!"

"What's going on?"

Guo Fan frowned and looked at Lu Gui.

"I don't know. ”

Lu Gui shook his head and said, "But this person was sent by Dingkang City, not the original person in Tunli." ”

"Hmm......"

Guo Fan held his chin and said, "I seem to remember that the tun chief of the military tun must be a person in the tun." ”

"That's true. ”

Gongsun Yun on the side replied: "The head of a tun, raising troops for war when it is stable, and leading the army in the war must be a person from the army." ”

This tun commander, let's not talk about his background, but this physique is not suitable to be the head of the military tun.

Guo Fan swept his eyes, and since the arrival of this tun chief, the expressions of the old man and several young people were a little ugly.

There was fear and disgust in his expression.

"You, you're General Liu?"

It was only at this time that the fat tun chief came back to his senses, he smiled at Guo Fan, and said: "The villain Wang Gui is now the head of Yangwang Tun, and the deacon of the palace is the villain's cousin. ”

"The general is here, why don't you tell me in advance, the villain is ready to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. ”

As he spoke, his eyes glared at the old man kneeling beside him, and shouted: "The surname is Pang, you know that the general has arrived, why didn't he call me?"

"Tun Chang forgives. ”

The old man bowed his head and said, "The old man also just knew that General Liu was coming, and besides, you drank with Lord Jin who transported the grain last night until dawn, and the old man didn't dare to disturb him." ”

"Fart!"

Wang Gui was furious: "I see that you just want me to make a fool of myself, old thing, give you face, don't you?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. ”

The old man's body trembled, but he just kowtowed.

"Enough!"

Guo Fan's eyes sank, and he said: "You came just in time, I was about to ask you, why is there tens of thousands of people in Yangwangtun and 3,000 young people on the list of the government office, but there are only so many people here?"

"This ......"

Wang Gui looked stunned, paused before smiling, and said, "General, you also know that life has been difficult these years, and the military salary has never been paid in full, so ...... We are also helpless. ”

Guo Fan nodded silently and said, "So, you know about the false report of the troops?"

"General. ”

Wang Gui stepped forward and said, "This kind of thing happens everywhere, you should have seen it a long time ago." ”

"Even if the 150,000 army under Admiral Cao can actually have 80,000, it is already the top!"

"Fart!"

Gongsun Yun suddenly said in a solemn voice: "Admiral Cao has no food in his hands, so he has to falsely report the soldiers." You obviously have a good tuntian here, and you have extra military salaries, but you still make so many false claims?"

"Humph......"

Wang Gui snorted lightly and said, "This general, what you said should have happened more than ten years ago. ”

"Now, the tuntian that raises Wangtun can't even feed people. ”

"Oh?"

Guo Fan raised his head slightly, and looked at Wang Gui indifferently: "Why?"

"What else?"

Wang Gui spread his hands and said: "The people of Juntun have fled year after year, and there is no one to cultivate the tuntian, so they can only sell it for some silver to fill their stomachs." ”

"Sell tuntian. ”

Guo Fan nodded.

Although the imperial court strictly ordered the sale of tuntian, in fact, it could not be stopped at all.

Since the founding of the country, the matter of turning the tun army into a private soldier and the tuntian into a private field has never been cut off!

But he didn't expect it to be so serious.

A military camp of more than 10,000 people, now there are less than 1,000 people left, and they can't even fill their stomachs!

The swords shattered at the touch of the soldiers, the armor was torn apart, and the entire army was almost devoid of usable soldiers.

How can this battle be fought?

What to fight?

"Hoo ......"

Guo Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said, "Before I came, where was the silver allocated by the imperial court here?"

Since there are no soldiers, they can only pay for their own recruitment.

Fortunately, there is a lot of silver, and it should not be difficult to solve.

Wang Gui raised his head and said, "What kind of silver are you talking about?"

"What kind of silver can it be? ”

Gongsun Yun's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "We will kill the Beirong people in the north with silver and military salaries!"

"We have captured two military flags, beheaded more than 30 generals, killed more than 1,000 rebels, and the military salaries promised by the imperial court in advance, a total of 100,000 taels of silver. ”

"So you're so brave?"

Wang Gui gave up his hand, but his expression was indifferent, probably because he regarded them as people who falsely reported their military exploits.

In fact, on the battlefield of Yunzhou, thousands or tens of thousands of enemies were reported killed every day, but the bandit army has never decreased, and it has become a common practice to falsely report military exploits.

"The money arrived yesterday, but the amount did not match the general's mouth. ”

"How many?"

Guo Fan's eyebrows jumped, and he subconsciously felt that it was not good.

"One thousand taels. ”

"How much?"

"Bang Dang ......"

In the whole hall, the atmosphere suddenly froze.

Guo Fan's face was cold, Gongsun Yun's face was gloomy, Gan Xingba, Zhang Lan and others had already clenched their big hands, and their faces were full of anger.

"You say it again?"

"How much?"

Wang Gui's body shook, and his body was instantly covered with cold sweat.

He shuddered and forced a smile to speak: "Generals, the silver is allocated from the imperial court, and it needs to go through the household department, the military department, the governor's mansion, and the local government before finally arriving here. ”

"This layer is lowered, each layer has to be scavenged, and it is good to have a thousand taels. ”

"I'll fuck you!"

Gan Xingba couldn't control the anger in his heart anymore, and flew up directly, kicking him and vomiting blood.

"General!"

A few more soldiers came at the right time outside the door, and at the same time threw two drunken people to His Highness.

"These two people are grain transport officers, and they have swallowed our grain and grass privately!"

"Embezzling grain and grass?"

The corners of Guo Fan's mouth twitched, and he didn't feel surprised at all: "How much did you give?"

"The lowly post has been checked, except for the top layer, the bottom is full of mud and sand, grass buttercups. ”

The soldiers clenched their fists and arched their hands, with murderous intent on their faces: "The total number is less than one-tenth of what was promised, and all of them are inferior grain and grass!"

“......”

There was silence again.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

Guo Fan slowly got up from his seat and smiled fiercely: "Since they don't give it, then let's get it ourselves." ”

"General!"

As soon as Gongsun Yun's face changed, he wanted to step forward to dissuade him.

"Don't!"

Lu Gui beside him hurriedly reached out to hold him and shook his head lightly.

"Someone!"

Guo Fan swept His Highness coldly: "Pull the three of them out and behead them!"

"Yes!"

Left and right loud should be.

"General!"

Wang Gui, the faces of the two grain transport officers changed, and they hurriedly said: "I am the cousin of the governor!"

"I'm friends with the pusher......"

"The general spares his life......"

Kneel and beg for collections, recommended tickets, and rewards......
