Section 29 - Pre-emption
In the tent of the chief general of Qianzhi Army, a personal guard reported the recruitment of transportation capacity to several adults.
"Wu Wei team is in charge, with two mules, five donkeys, two bad horses, one cow, and four big carts!"
"Ye Xuanming's team is right, one mule, seven donkeys, three bad horses, and six big carts!"
"Wei Peng team is in charge, with three mules, three donkeys, two bad horses, one good horse, three cows, and five big carts!"
...
"Su Shangzhuo's team is in charge, with six mules, eleven donkeys, five bad horses, four good horses, seven cows, and thirteen big carts!"
"Hey! The Su family still has some ability. In just five days, they raised so many livestock and carts."
The old man with a white hair and white beard in the first place in the main general's lower left hand stroked his long beard and looked surprised. The number of recruitment of the teams in front of him was not satisfactory. On the contrary, Su Shangzhuo, who had a family background, was capable of doing things. Although he did not issue enough money to sell, he still raised so many powerful animals and big trucks. The number of recruitment by any other person was less than half of his.
"These guys probably have done a lot of robbery. Our Qianzhi Army is waiting to be impeached by the local county magistrate!"
Although he guessed that the teams who sent recruiting livestock and carts would use some disgraceful means, which would also bring some blame to the Qianzhi Army. Another commander Guoyi, who was sitting opposite the old general of the gray-bearded hair, did not take these concerns at all.
It was nothing more than arguing and a verbal battle. In the end, the court paid the money to compensate and appease the public's grievances.
Military situation is urgent, and some measures are beyond their reach, as long as they do not kill anyone.
Obviously, this is not the first time Qianzhijun has done this.
In order to avoid the border troops losing control, the court often holds money, grain and grass in their hands and never sends them too much.
As a result, when emergency military situations arise, the border troops often fail to react due to insufficient money. In order not to delay military operations, they have to take some extraordinary measures, and the people are inevitably suffering losses.
Faced with the criticism from the court, the military was also very confident. Whoever gave up enough money and led to a shortage of military capital? When it was used, in addition to robbing, could it be possible to make a fortune by itself? Instead of letting the bandits, enemies and enemies rob and ruining them in vain, it would be better to give the army a favor, and anyway, it should be a contribution to the country.
"Call Su Shangzhuo over and tell him how he recruited so many powerful animals and big carts. Next time, let other teams learn! "
Yu Hong, who was located in the seat of the head general of the tent, spoke. He wanted to see what methods did this aristocratic child who had performed such a mission for the first time, and could recruit more powerful animals and large chariots than the old soldiers in the army.
"Wait, this time I sent ten teams, I only heard nine?"
The first white-bearded veteran in the left hand below the main general's seat, Guoyi Duwei Wei Sihang recalled with a frown.
"Wu Wei, Ye Xuanming, Wei Peng, Xu Pan, Zheng Shanquan...Su Shangzhuo! There are really only nine!"
Cao Yi, the younger Qianzhi Army’s right Guoyi commander, counted with his fingers, and there was indeed one missing. He looked at the personal guard who informed the recruitment situation and asked, “Who is the one who has not reported the number? Didn’t none of them be recruited?”
He lowered his head and glanced at the list in his hand, and the personal guard immediately said: "There is another one that is Ding Zhi's lieutenant!"
"What's going on? Since the strong livestock and the big cart were not recruited, did he not even dare to come back?"
Veteran Zuo Guoyi's commander Wei Sihang slapped the short table beside him, immediately stood up, and said to Yu Hong on the main general's seat: "The team leader Ding Zhi is not good at doing things well, and he misses the military opportunity. He should be killed according to military laws to serve as a warning to others!"
The sentence "I missed the military opportunity and should be killed according to military laws to serve as a warning to others" immediately filled the tent of the general with a murderous atmosphere.
After the words of the commander Wei Sihang of Zuo Guoyi fell silent.
The commander of Zhe Chong, Yu Hong, spoke expressionlessly: "Come here!"
"exist!"
A personal guard walked in from outside the tent and clasped his fists at the captain on the seat of the chief.
"The message was sent to Su Shangzhuo team come over and send someone to bring Ding Zhi back to me!"
With a command from the Duwei, the fate of the two teams of Qianzhi Army was immediately completely opposite.
"yes!"
The guard took the order neatly and turned around and left.
A moment later, a young officer walked in, pounded his chest hard, and shouted: "Su Shangzhuo, the team leader, has met three adults!"
"Mark Su, you're here just in time. Tell me how you have collected so many powerful animals and big trucks?"
Yu Hong, the commander of Zhe Chong, who was sitting in the seat of the main general, looked at the young general in front of him with relief.
The children of the aristocratic race have a lot of knowledge and are very talented. For the first time, they were able to recruit such powerful animals and large chariots in just a few days. It is more capable than those teams that have already recruited powerful animals and large chariots more than once.
Su Shangzhuo was slightly stunned, his expression was a little stiff.
If he had seen Ding Zhi's powerful livestock and the large convoy the day before yesterday, he might have been complacent.
But now, there is an indescribable embarrassment.
"Mark Su, why are you still humble? Don't cherish yourself."
The commander of Zuo Guoyi Wei Sihang regarded Su Shangzhuo's hesitation and embarrassment as modesty, and was still sighing in his heart that the children of the aristocratic clan were excellent. At this moment, they were scrupulous about the face of their colleagues and did not proudly compete for their own merits.
"Yes, Lord Wei!"
Su Shangzhuo's face looked a little ugly, as if he was eating a fly, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "The subordinates did not use any special methods. Whenever they went to a village, they would catch local idle gangsters, lure them with silver and money, and force them to lead them to find those families with animals and carts at home, which made the recruitment work much smoother."
While he said, he secretly prayed that the Ding man was so scared by the name of the Su family that he dared not come back, so he would take the first prize this time.
"Hahaha, I think it's a good idea. It turns out that the cross-river dragon is suppressing the local snake! Not bad, not bad!"
Zuo Guoyi's commander Wei Sihang was stunned, then reacted and laughed with his hands.
The commander of Zhechong, Yu Hong, and the commander of Youguoyi, Cao Yi, laughed one after another. As an old man in the army, he could naturally see some of the tricks.
The one who knows the most about the local situation in each village is the idle gangster like a local snake. He forces them to be the leader party and does not need much effort to "follow the map" to find the livestock and vehicles in the people's homes, and can also catch a few young and strong people.
"This is a good method!"
The commander of Zhe Chong, Yu Hong, nodded. When he thought of the other teams, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! The other killers are okay to fight in battle. It's harder to make them have a brain than to chop their heads."
Such a robbery is like a common occurrence for the border troops of the Dawu Dynasty. As long as there is no life, it will be fine. The remaining ones will naturally be compensated by the local government. If the military opportunity is missed, it will be a big deal.
"I am worthy of being the child of the eight major tribes of my Dawu Dynasty, and my future is unlimited."
Cao, the commander of Youguoyi, also expressed his appreciation. Some things are just breaking through the window paper. All the teams were doing their own tricks before, so the harvest was naturally not optimistic. With this method in the future, I am afraid that the unruly people would no longer have to worry about the unruly hiding their own livestock and vehicles, making it difficult for the army to collect the required transportation forces in a short time.
At this moment, a personal guard walked into the tent and reported with his fists: "Report that the Ding Zhi team is entering the camp!"
Upon hearing this news, Su Shangzhuo's face changed and he thought to himself that what should come was still coming.
The most disgusting thing is that they don’t come early or late, but they come at this time. The three adults expressed their appreciation for themselves the moment. The next moment, the number of animals collected by both sides was determined by comparison with the vehicles. The previous praise and praise immediately turned into a loud slap in the face.
Su Shangzhuo's face was inexplicably painful, as if he was slapped in the face.
"Well? I knew I'd come back after killing this? I thought he was ineffective and became a deserter! The person came, prepare the military stick and dip it in salt water. Today, I have to teach this guy who is arrogant and has a profound lesson."
Regarding the last team leader who was late, Yu Hong didn't mind killing the chicken to scare the monkey. He used this to establish his authority and set an example for others, and don't be distracted.
Hearing the words of the Lord Zhe Chong Duwei, Su Shangzhuo felt his heart moved, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Sir, my subordinate accused Ding Zhi of being arrogant and arrogant, and he was arrogant and robbed his colleagues of the livestock and vehicles."
If Li Xiaobai was here, he would definitely be shocked, "Fuck me! Let's make a comeback!"
The thief took a bite and made three points into the bone. Su Shangzhuo took a bite so much that he turned black and white, which immediately had the effect of putting in the wrong.
The commander of Zuo Guoyi Wei Sihang once again slapped the short table beside him and said murderously: "Is that so? Ding Zhi should be killed! No wonder this boy has not returned yet. It turns out that he dared to do such a thing!" Su Shangzhuo's words made him more and more determined to set Ding Zhi a warning to You.
The army of the Dawu Dynasty was most afraid of internal fighting, and acts such as robbing merits and scapegoating were especially disgraceful. Snatching the livestock and vehicles collected by others was tantamount to touching this bottom line. Not only Wei Sihang, but also Cao Yi and Zhe Chong Duwei Yu Hong's face became even more ugly.
"There is another person next to Ding Zhi, who claims to be the Li family in Xiyan Town. I see that he is suspicious and must be a spy from the Rong people."
Su Shangzhuo is determined to kill two birds with one stone, taking this opportunity to solve the problem of two thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh.
"oh?"
The commander of Guoyi looked at each other at the same time. Su Shangzhuo's words made them feel that there seemed to be an unusual message behind Ding Zhichi Gui.
There was a noise outside the tent, with some shouting, and the neighing of cattle and horses and other animals. The Thousand Pheasant Army camp suddenly became very lively.
The commander of Zhechong, Yu Hong, frowned and said, "Come, why is the camp so noisy?"
As a chief general, he was most embarrassed that his subordinates were in chaos and disorder, and his shouting was immediately responded.
"Sir! It's the livestock and vehicles that Ding Zhi team is bringing in, and the young and strong, who are being taken to the back camp because of too many."
The news brought by the personal guards made the three chief and deputy chief lieutenants in the tent stand up in shock.
Too many? What is too many?
