Chapter 20 Heavy Responsibilities
Zhang Hu and the big man glanced at each other, and rushed towards each other without saying a word.
The dull sound of sword strikes continued to sound, and the two attacked each other a few times in the blink of an eye. Zhang Hu's right chest was pierced by a small hole from the tip of the big man's sword, and the leather armor of the big man's left shoulder was also cut out of a deep mark, and blood was faintly oozing out of it.
Zhang Hu smiled proudly: "Huo Biao, you are not Lao Tzu's opponent!"
The big man named Huo Biao spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, took a few steps back, and put away his long sword. He glared at Zhang Hu, looked at Beqi with a vulture gaze and sneered: "Boy, you have caused a disaster! The person who was injured by you was the treasurer of the Xiaomengcheng City Guard. If you run for your life now, I bet you won't be killed if you don't escape fifty miles!"
The thin man who was carried by Beg also hissed: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you gang of untouchables, you dare to attack the adults and me? Come on, come on, take it, take it all! The whole city is under martial law, and the Tiger Courtyard has been copied! Killing officials has rebelled, killing officials has rebelled!"
Footsteps sounded in all directions, and a group of black-clothed and black-armored city guards strode over, their spears and halberds raised, and aimed at the Mengcun people who were gathered in front of the treasurer's room. The men of Mengcun looked at each other, and those who were impulsive had already drawn their swords.
Another slap was slapped in the treasurer's face, and the slap cracked his cheekbones, leaving the treasurer with no more strength to scream than a long wail. Don Beg slapped his face with one palm, looked at Huo Biao and sneered: "I bet, the person who can't get along in Xiaomeng City must be you, do you believe it or not?"
Huo Biao's face changed, he looked at Beqi, then at the treasurer, and suddenly took a few steps back.
Zhang Hu laughed loudly, pointed at Huo Biao with the tip of the knife and shouted: "Huo Biao, I also bet, if you offend the little brother Beggar, you should be going to escape from Xiaomengcheng! Ha, without you bastards in Xiaomengcheng, Xiaomengcheng's well will be much cleaner in the future!"
The city guards outside the public house shouted in unison, and the general who led the team shouted: "Listen to the people in the house, let go of the treasurer, leave the treasurer, raise your hands, and come out!
There was a 'sonorous' sound, and the people of Mengcun pulled out their weapons, and they saw that they were about to merge with the city guards. There is only one thought in the simple minds of these Mengcun people, Zhang Hu and Beqi are friends in their village, and when friends are in trouble, they naturally want to draw their swords to help. As for the consequences of offending the city guards, they haven't had time to think so far ahead!
Lu Chengfeng glanced at these Mengcun people in surprise and appreciation, he coughed lightly, and held up the iron plaque hanging from his waist. He shouted: "I am the new pawn Lu Chengfeng, you put away your weapons and return to your posts!"
As soon as the iron plate came out, the city guards immediately put away their weapons together. The general of the city guard who led the team led all the soldiers to kneel down on one knee and solemnly saluted Lu Chengfeng.
The treasurer, whose cheeks were swollen and his face covered with blood, shouted indistinctly: "You bastards, come and save me! If something happens to me, my son-in-law will not be able to spare you! He is just a small pawn army, and my son-in-law is the city guard, the city guard!"
The city guards were shocked, and they all stood up again, and the spears and halberds in their hands were once again aimed at the Mengcun people in front of the treasurer's room.
Lu Chengfeng was furious, and he shouted loudly: "Bold, as a city guard, if you don't obey the orders of the pawn army, this is disobedience and rebellion! Do you want to cut down all over the house? Put down your weapons and stand aside!"
Some of the city guards flicked their wrists, and their weapons almost didn't fall. But they still grabbed their weapons and firmly aimed at the people of Mengcun.
Lu Chengfeng's face became extremely ugly, he looked back at the treasurer whose face was covered with blood, and sneered: "It turns out that the order of a mere treasurer is more effective than the order of my pawn army. The city guards of Xiaomeng City, sure enough, wonderful, wonderful!"
The general of the city guard who led the team looked at Lu Chengfeng in embarrassment, and he muttered in a low voice: "Lord Dianjun, please don't embarrass us!"
Before Lu Chengfeng could say anything, Beqi had already laughed. He threw the treasurer to the ground and stomped on his right shoulder. With a 'click' sound, the treasurer writhed wildly, he hissed and screamed, his left hand covered his broken right shoulder, and his body writhed like a loach a few times, and then rolled his eyes and fainted.
Don't beg and shout: "Lu ** law, those who do not obey military orders!"
Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, and he shouted: "Chop!"
Xiao Hei let out a roar like a mad bull, his muscles spurred, and he clenched his halberd and stabbed the stunned city guard general. The general never dreamed that Lu Chengfeng would brazenly give the order to kill him. The halberd pierced his leather armor, revealing a three-foot-long section through his vest.
The little black sneered and shook the general out with a force with both arms. The corpse of the general brought up a fountain of blood, flew far away more than ten zhang away, and fell headlong at the door of the civil official's hall, splashing a large area of blood.
Outside the hall of the civil official, the idlers who were watching the bustle screamed in horror and dispersed. Several officials subordinate to the civil officials in the lobby walked out of the hall in horror and looked at this side with their heads probed, but no one dared to say anything.
A large group of city guards rushed over to this side in a hurry, they looked at the corpses of their colleagues who fell to the ground in horror, and the city guards of seven or eight hundred people stood stiffly in the square, and their complicated eyes continued to sweep between Lu Chengfeng and the fallen general.
Beg walked to Lu Chengfeng's side, and he shouted: "This is an example, you all look at it with your life! Those who do not obey the orders of the Dian Jun will be killed! You are the city guards of Xiaomeng City, you must obey the orders of the Dian Jun, otherwise, you will be regarded as disobedience and rebellion!"
Hearing this, the city guards shook their heads, and several middle-level generals slowly let go of their hands holding their weapons, and they all lowered their heads without saying a word.
Lu Chengfeng shouted coldly: "Summon, summon all the generals above the rank of lieutenant, and this official will be the general today." Count a hundred sounds, and those who don't get it will be killed!"
Xiao Hei walked to the snare drum outside the hall of the army and directly beat the snare drum with his fist. The dull drum hum spread, and in the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the entire city of Little Meng. Every time he struck the drum surface, Xiao Hei counted hard.
Soon there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the square, and generals above the rank of lieutenant of Xiaomengcheng rushed one after another. When they saw the blood and corpses on the ground, they couldn't help but freeze, and the faces of several people became very strange, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes when they looked at Lu Chengfeng.
Zhang Hu and the others saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the people of Mengcun and drove the more than 30 carts out of here. Before leaving, he gestured to Beg and thanked Beggar. Beg just hugged his fist in return and didn't say much.
By the time Xiao Hei beat a hundred snare drums, the hall of the Dianjun army was already full of more than 130 generals above the rank of lieutenant. These generals are the commanders of the nearly 8,000 city guards in Xiaomeng City, among which there are eighteen of the highest-ranking partial generals.
Don't beg to know the military system of Lu Guo, but Lu Chengfeng was so angry that his teeth were trembling.
According to the Lu ** system, 3,000 people are a brigade, and the highest commander of a brigade is a partial general. The city guards of Xiaomeng City are less than 8,000 people, and there are at most three partial generals who are up to the sky. Now there are eighteen partial generals in front of him, more than forty captains, and all the others are senior lieutenants of Qingyisè. What is this for? It is clear that the officers are overnumbered, and this group of people are all mixed in the city guards to eat dry food.
In addition to these supernumerary generals, the four subordinate officials of the treasurer, Sima, the secretary, and the secretary are also clear, and their surnames are Yi. Like the treasurer who was injured by Beggar, the other three were all Yi Yan's close domestic servants.
Lu Chengfeng, whose face was as heavy as water, stood high in the hall, and knocked heavily on the public case in front of him with his right hand.
Bei Qipan sat beside Lu Chengfeng and laughed in a low voice: "Eight thousand city guards, how much is the annual military salary? How much is the annual ordnance expenditure? There are so many partial generals, captains, and military captains to eat, drink, and gamble! Xiaomengcheng, there are really eight thousand city guards?"
Lu Chengfeng's body trembled.
Don't squint his eyes, he doesn't believe that Yi Yan's dead fat man would take out his private money to support this group of supernumerary generals. So the answer is obvious, these generals eat empty salaries, maybe there are other things like reselling ordnance, in short, there are messy things, and there are indispensable things.
Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly, and his cold gaze slowly swept over the many generals in the hall, and after a long time, he shouted in a low voice: "At noon, the whole city will parade." You generals, if any of your non-commissioned officers do not meet the requirements of the military system, you will rip off your clothes and armor and get out!"
The generals looked up at Lu Chengfeng in unison, and some of the generals suddenly showed a sneering smile. Many people didn't even salute Lu Chengfeng, the lord of the army, and just turned around and walked out of the hall of the army.
Lu Chengfeng, who was angry, exerted his right palm, and his palm silently fell into the public case made of sandalwood, and the falling sawdust was as fine as sand, and it was scattered without a trace when it was blown by the wind. He muttered in a low voice, "It's lawless, lawless!"
Beg sighed, he shook his head and smiled: "Childe, let's prepare for a big blood exchange, the city guards of this small Mengcheng are already rotten!"
Fiercely, Beg remembered the city guards of the Tianzi C Battalion who were sent to Mengcun to be stationed. It was an out-and-out jīng rui, and the generals who led the army were also fierce, which was very different from the aura of the more than 100 generals under the hall just now, and I didn't know what the reason was.
After being silent for a while, Beg suggested: "Then Sima, the servant and the man, should also be driven away?"
Lu Chengfeng grabbed the pen and paper on the official case without saying a word, quickly wrote four official documents, and drove away the four lieutenants under his command, including the treasurer, Sima, the secretary, and the man. After pondering for a while, he filled in four more official documents, and he appointed Lao Hei as the new treasurer, Xiao Hei as the new secretary, Beqi as the new Sima, and Zhang Hu as the new secretary.
Don't beg to look at Lu Chengfeng's new appointment document, just keep shaking his head.
Lao Hei is the old servant next to Lu Chengfeng, loyal and old, and he can also manage the treasury of the city guard.
Si Manfang doesn't have a lot of affairs, every rì is to count the heads of barbarians, and a head of a hundred dollars can be exchanged, this job is easy, Xiao Hei is the kind of rough person with a tendon, this kind of thing is always done.
As for himself, don't beg is not modest, don't say that the little Mengcheng Sima, in this era of cold weapons, he thinks that he is unequivocal about being a general who commands the army. Supported by Le Xiaobai's perverted IQ and knowledge, it is not difficult to march and fight.
It's just that the last appointment document is difficult, difficult.
"Brother Zhang Hu, I'm afraid I don't want to be the servant of this Laoshizi!" Beg told Lu Chengfeng very bluntly.
Lu Chengfeng rolled his eyes, squinted at Beg and said, "As the chief doorman of this son, this kind of thing should be solved by you!"
Don't look at Lu Chengfeng blankly, and open your mouth wide to make a sound.
Comrades, the heavy task of smashing votes will be left to you to solve!
In addition, the pig's head in the penguin mark Q company, got a **, t. penguin penguin / ricewhu, everyone is interested in running to see it!
