Chapter 76 Soldier Xiaoliu
Li Luo ignored the whispers of the generals, glanced at everyone and said, "The generals obeyed the order."
"The last one will obey the order." The generals in the tent replied in unison.
"General Mingwei, Kuang Lizhe, Hucha, Dongchan."
Hu Cha Dongchan and Kuang Lizhe were stunned. Unexpectedly, they were the first general to take the order. They hurriedly stood up and bowed, and replied: "The last general is here."
"Termine the left camp of the central army, and follow this secret letter to arrest all the merchants listed above, seal all the property. If there are any rebels, behead. Huchajing, you will draw out another thousand five in the Yueqi camp and hand them over to Hucha Dongchan to command the commander, and gather up three thousand cavalry."
"Yes, the general obeys the order." The three of them took the order in unison. Hu Cha Dongchan looked up at Li Luo, as if he felt that Li Luo was too serious now, and he would decide his life and death at any time. But he swallowed the words again and said, "It's just that Mo Jiang just arrested people like this, for fear that someone would not accept it."
Li Luo smiled slightly without any notice and continued, "My Star Sword is still in your hands."
"Ah!" Hu Cha Dongchan blushed and quickly glanced at the generals in the tent. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a smile, he quickly lowered his head and replied softly: "It's my place."
"Okay, bring the Xingsu Jian and bring this secret letter from the Privy Council. If anyone is dissatisfied, I and Lord Yang will support you. All those listed in the secret letter will be captured. If the local prefecture officials interfere, they will take them down together."
"Yes, I will obey the order." Hu Cha Dongchan replied.
"General Kuang, this time you and Princess Muchan investigate this matter together. The soldiers are very quick and try to capture all the people listed in the secret letter. If a few of them miss the net, please go with them. This time, General Kuang is the main force, Princess Muchan listens to General Kuang's actions along the way, and do not act without permission."
"I will obey the order at the end." Kuang Lizhe and Hucha Dongchan accepted the order. Hucha Dongchan looked unhappy at first, but after receiving the order, he bowed to Kuang Lizhe and sat down calmly. Kuang Lizhe replied, nodded secretly, and sat down himself.
"Chief Lang General Qin Shutong, General Guide General Qi Shaobing."
"The last general is here." Qin Shutong was better. When Qi Shaobing heard Li Luo's name, his voice was choked. Since he fled without fighting last time and was scolded for sixty military sticks, Qi Shaobing has been uneasy, fearing that Li Luo would have a grudge against him. Today, he almost cried when he heard Li Luo's order. However, Qi Shaobing has always been like this. Everyone has been accustomed to it, so Li Luo has let him go.
"You two led 5,000 troops to log in to the case of all the grain and grass in the two states and cities of Shahu and Tianshui, and gather them together. If someone buys and sells them, they can only release the grain after verification."
"Yes, the last general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the general." Qi Shaobing answered without waiting for Qin Shutong to reply.
Qin Shutong thought for a moment and replied: "General, the merchants are unwilling to deal with the government. If we rashly seize all the food and goods in their hands, the generals may arouse public grievances and cause other troubles. It is better to send troops to various important towns of Shangfu to register all the grain and grass transactions. This will not only prevent merchants from trading privately, but also not easily arouse public anger."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people in the tent whispered to each other and were quite moved by Qin Shutong's proposal. Li Luo was not angry and nodded and said, "What General Qin said is very much. Forced payment of grain can easily arouse public grievances, but this is just a temporary solution. You can do it as you do. As for collecting grain, let it leave it to General Qi. I think General Qi has some ways to let these merchants hand over the grain."
"That's that's it," Qi Shaobing replied hurriedly, and said with a flattering smile: "General, don't worry, General, there are at least ten ways to let these people get out the food and grass obediently." After that, he turned to Qin Shutong and said: "General Qin, don't worry, this time you are the righteous and I am the assistant, let General Qin see the young general's methods."
Uncle Qin frowned slightly, as if he still couldn't let it go. Seeing this, Liu Ce continued: "General Qin, you do it according to the general's wishes. Remember that the military law is strictly controlled and that you should not be filled with your own pockets or robbery. In this extraordinary time, you should have some extraordinary means to be fair and just, and these businesses will no longer have any resentment."
Seeing that Liu Ce agreed, Qin Shutong also kept persuading him, and thought for a while, and said calmly: "The last general will take the order."
Li Luo nodded, stood up, and the generals also stood up one after another. Li Luo glanced at everyone and said slowly: "There will be more than one month to be the end of the year."
The generals were stunned, not knowing what Li Luo meant. Only Shen Xiangdong and Liu Ce looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with a gleam, and they looked at Li Luo who was feeling a little emotional.
The Wind Valley just passed by noon.
A group of carriages and horses slowly walked in the valley, winding for several miles, with extremely deep ruts, and mules and horses struggled to pull the cart forward on the road.
There was a carriage in the middle of the queue. Two soldiers were walking and whispering, and from time to time they had to push the carriage. When they heard the young soldiers ask, "Wu Tou, how far does it take to get there?"
"I've only left more than half of it. It will take at least half a month to bring these baggages to our camp." The older soldier stretched out his neck, looked at the queue that was invisible in front, and sighed.
"Ah, then we can't catch up with the New Year? When we came out, the generals in the camp began to prepare New Year's goods. The rear army caught a lot of cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish, etc. I have a fellow villager in the rear army. He secretly told me that the general took a lot of effort to let their rear army do well in the camp." The young soldier exclaimed and said with regret.
At this time, he ran from the front of the team and shouted at the two of them: "Don't make noise in the queue, look around more often."
"Yes, yes." The older soldier responded quickly, "I don't know the rules. General, please calm down."
The cavalry nodded, and did not say more, and patted the rear to inspect the horse. The young soldier curled his lips and muttered, "What awesome!"
The older soldier glared fiercely and shouted, "Stop the sound. Look at it later. These are military patrols. There is the right to take action first and then report on the battlefield. Can your neck be harder than his sword?"
The young soldier was startled and hurriedly shrank his neck and said, "Ah?" After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the patrolman who was looking away, and said, "Then I will also be a patrolman in the future."
The elderly sneered, "You learn how to ride a horse first."
When the young soldier heard this, he walked aside with a dejected look and lost his energy. Seeing this, the older soldier smiled helplessly, patted the young soldier on the shoulder and said, "Look at you like a bear. Our infantry battalion is not without cavalry. Besides, if you have made military achievements, you will be taught in the army to teach you cavalry and martial arts. Then the generals will do it, let alone a small patrolman."
The young soldier's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Wu Tou, is it true? Don't lie to me."
The older soldier was so amused that he nodded and agreed. The young soldier was happy again, running around, shouting trumpets from time to time to help push the carriage. After a while, he was exhausted and panting. He stumbled to the older soldier, and couldn't speak.
The older soldier glanced at him and said slowly: "You should push the carriage back to our camp."
The young soldier panted and asked, "Wu, Wu, what's in it? It's so heavy."
"Hmph, the money of the black-hearted merchants who surrendered to the enemy and treason in Shahu, Tianshui Province, is here, and there are food and grass collected from behind. How much strength do you have to use?"
The young soldier took a breath and asked in horror: "Is this all here?"
The older soldier seemed to be aware that he was talking too much, and shouted: "Don't ask, remember not to talk around everywhere, otherwise you can see how I deal with you."
The young soldier seemed to not listen, but just looked at the big carts dementedly and murmured to himself: "Mom, how much does this cost!"
The queue was moving slowly in the conversation between two soldiers, one and the other, mixed with the shouts of patrolmen.
At midday, the young soldier looked up at the hazy sky and said, "Wu Tou, it's going to snow."
The elderly soldier also looked up and said, "Well, looking at the posture, this snow will not be light. It will be a breeze when the snow in the West Mansion is like a blow, and the hit people can't even open their eyes." After saying that, he sighed.
Several commanders in front of the queue came and shouted loudly: "Each division will rest on the spot, make fire and cook. Once the lunch is over, start the army immediately and do not make any mistakes."
After ordering it, the team immediately stopped and started to make fire and cook in an orderly manner. After working for a while, the elderly soldier saw that the boy next to him had a dazed expression and said angrily: "Xiao Liu, what are you thinking? You are unconscious, come and help."
The young soldier replied blankly: "There is someone robbing the camp in this weather. What should I do if I snatch all the treasures away?"
The elderly soldier was so angry that he was about to curse when suddenly a shrill whistle came from a distance, and then he heard a wild shout: "Someone robbed the camp!"
The older soldier was also stunned. After a moment, he woke up the shouting beside him. He pushed Xiao Liu, who was already shocked, and cursed: "Look at your mouth, I will not die this time. When I go back, I will definitely peel you off."
Xiaoliu asked with a sad face, "Wu Tou, what should I do?"
The elderly soldier shouted: "What a panic? I'll search the guys, follow us." After that, he picked up the long sword and gathered with the others in the army, and set up the military formation to prepare for the battle. When Xiao Liu saw it, he hurriedly took the sword and followed him.
At this moment, several patrolmen rushed over and shouted: "The soldiers of various troops moved their carriages to the road, set up a horse-striking formation, retreated to the southeast hillside, ready to resist the enemy."
The soldiers shouted together, and six carriages formed a formation and were placed in the road. As soon as they had joined the formation, they saw thousands of troops running into the valley entrance. The flag raised in front was the Ningerfeng tribe under the command of the Left Commander of the Western Rong.
Xiao Liu was so scared that his face turned blue and he asked tremblingly: "Wu Tou, why are there so many of them? We are not enough people to get between their teeth."
"Shut up, look at your promising prospects, and want to be a patrolman. Look at which patrolman hides from others and is trembling like a dough? Go home and drink milk quickly, so I can't help but embarrass me here." The elderly soldier cursed.
A soldier of similar age next to him smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Wu, your first time on the battlefield is probably the same as Xiao Liu. Stop scolding, you can live."
Wu Bo sighed as if he was disheartened, turned around and said to Xiaoliu, "Be smarter in a while, live, I will die, collect the body for me."
