Chapter 435: Solicitation
Faced with Li Jun's ridicule, even if Chu Yuan and others were angry, they could only choose to remain silent. Those who knew the current affairs were heroes. At this time, people were the slaughter and I was the fish, so they could not tolerate them being presumptuous.
However, the aggrievance and anger that everyone suppressed in their hearts for a long time could not be suppressed like a flood in the dike, rolling in their chests.
The Tiger Roar Army has always been not easy in Haizhou, and it can be said that it has been excluded in all aspects.
At the beginning, not only did the armor and weapons beside the inconsistent military supplies, food and fodder were always paid only 40%. Good things were not the result, and they were responsible for the disaster.
If this continues, the morale of the army will naturally become unstable. The soldiers below don’t care about the game between you senior leaders. Their purpose of joining the army is very simple, which is to be able to have enough food and have the spare money to improve the quality of life for the family.
If you cannot even guarantee this basic requirement, resentment will naturally arise in your heart. When resentment accumulates to a certain level, it will inevitably burst out.
Therefore, two years ago, the Hu Xiao Army had a small mutiny. Fortunately, it was discovered early and suppressed in time, but thousands of people were killed or injured.
Because of this incident, many generals were demoted and imprisoned. The Haizhou Governor Yin Zheng was also ordered by Emperor Gan to suspend all his posts and pondered his mistakes at home.
After this mutiny, the treatment of the Tiger Roar Army has been improved, and the food and salary distributed has increased from 40% to 60%, which has temporarily stabilized people's hearts.
However, because of this, the Tiger Roar Army seemed to have been forgotten half. Not to mention the credit, there was no chance of hard work. On weekdays, soldiers from various battalions had nothing to do except for daily training. However, the Yin family army often dispatched to engage in small-scale collisions with the Southern Yi border army and repeatedly won.
Without credit, there will naturally be no chance of promotion. Seeing others reaching the top with their military achievements, but they are still standing still, many young generals of the Tiger Roar Army are anxious. After all, they are not wasting time to retire.
Although this battle against Nanyi was an order from the Governor's Office, it was the result of the joint volunteering of the generals of the Hu Xiao army. However, they did not expect that they would be betrayed and the 50,000 army was defeated. I don't know how many people could return to Haizhou.
No! Chu Yuan felt cold in his heart. He was sure that even if he could return to Haizhou alive, there would be no good results waiting for them!
On the side, seeing Chu Yuan and others not being angry with him, they knelt there with their heads down and their faces expressionlessly, Li Jun suddenly felt a little excited.
After all, the Tiger Roar Army was an elite army formed by his father who tried his best to draw personnel from each army. It was gone in this way, and it was definitely a big loss.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. The Tiger Roar Army was obviously broken up. Isn’t this a good opportunity to get a bargain?
Moreover, they had no other choice except themselves. The 50,000 Tiger Roar Army could not be wiped out. There must be many people like Chu Yuan who escaped. As long as they gathered together, they would be a powerful force.
Thinking of this, Li Jun's eyes when he looked at Chu Yuan and the others became hot.
Although he was already a little impatient at this time, he still looked calm on the surface and said slowly: "Captain Chu, you can't go back to Haizhou, and it's a dead end to go back. Why not follow your Highness to Jingzhou together."
As soon as this said, many eyes fell on Li Jun, and one of the cold eyes was particularly strong.
Li Jun could ignore the eyes of others, but he was a little weak at his sister Ning An's eyes.
According to this girl's temperament, she will definitely come out to disrupt the situation. What should I do?
Li Jun observed left and right and found that Concubine Li was not in the crowd, and now there was no helper.
"I'm wrong! I should do this in private! It would be great if Mr. Wen was there."
At this moment, Li Jun suddenly missed his adviser Wen Di a little. If he were there, he might not have made such a mistake. He didn't know if he had escaped from the capital. With Mr. Wen's wisdom, he should not be able to defeat him. Maybe he was already on his way to Jingzhou.
Just as Li Jun was worried about gains and losses, Chu Yuan was also in a state of confusion.
It is obvious that the group of people in front of him are the second prince, King Zhenxi and others who fled from Kyoto. Compared to the recruitment of the second prince Li Jun, he is more willing to defect to the young man sitting on the stone in front of him.
After all, Li Jun's current identity is very embarrassing. The prince's identity has been deprived. He will definitely fight with the new emperor in the future and fight for the country. If he succeeds, it will be a pleasure. If he fails and the court settles the score in the future, he will be implicated in the nine tribes.
On the contrary, the King of Zhenxi now has one side, and the court obviously has no intention of breaking apart and starting a war with it, so there will be no great risk of surrendering to it.
Seeing that Chu Yuan frequently cast his eyes at him, Liu Feng could naturally guess what he was thinking.
It’s a pity that he didn’t plan to recruit Chu Yuan. In the Black Armored Army, there is no shortage of lower-class officers like Chu Yuan, but what he lacks is coaching talents, and Chu Yuan is obviously not such a person.
"Zhuang Hai, it's getting late. Please search for if there are any useful things in the town, and then hurry up!"
Liu Feng greeted him, turned around and left.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, so he had to settle for the second best and turned to Li Jun, "I am willing to work hard for Your Highness!"
With Chu Yuan taking the lead, others followed suit.
Looking at the dozens of people who were loyal to him in front of him, Li Jun widened his eyes, a little surprised, and the surprise came a little suddenly. He instinctively looked up at Ning An's location, and found that the other party had turned around and left with Liu Feng. The one who left was so straightforward that this girl didn't even make things difficult for him!
Immediately afterwards, he reacted and personally stepped forward to help Chu Yuan up, "Captain Chu, don't worry, your highness will never treat you badly. As long as you arrive in Jingzhou, you will have all the glory and wealth!"
"Your Highness, you don't have any extravagance to be rich and prosperous. But our brothers have not eaten for several days. I will give you some food to you and fill your stomach."
As he said that, a dull sound came from Chu Yuan's belly.
If they weren't hungry and tired, they wouldn't have stayed here last night, so they would have left with a slander.
"Okay, this is simple!"
After finally gathering some subordinates, Li Jun was overjoyed. He turned to Zhao Hai not far away and said, "Commander Zhao, come here quickly!"
"yes!"
Although Zhao Hai was displeased, he had no intention of disobeying Li Jun and responded in a muffled voice.
After a while, the person who went to get the food returned to Zhao Hai empty-handedly with a slap on his face.
"What's going on, what about the food?"
Zhao Hai said calmly.
