Shen Tang chewed it for a few times before swallowing it.
He raised his hand to wipe the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth: "Leave professional matters to professional people. I am also the master after all. I do everything myself. Even if I can shadow the clone, I will still be too busy. Also, what is 'dividing the spoils'?"
Does your elder brother know?"
Shaochong held the cake and said seriously: "Brother knows."
His elder brothers had repeatedly warned him that when he left their sight, he must tell him where he was going, what he was doing, and who he was meeting. Shaocheng also had their permission to come to Shen Tang for dinner. The eldest brother also said that he should learn from Shen Jun.
, what is stability.
Shen Tang: "...that's not called dividing the spoils."
It's like she's a bandit.
Not politically correct at all.
Shaochong asked in confusion: "What's that called?"
Shen Tang patted him on the shoulder: "Commendation meeting!"
Shaochong nodded thoughtfully and kept Shen Tang's teachings in mind. The eldest brother said that he wanted to learn from Shen Jun about the stability of the other party. The charm of chatting was obviously not as great as cooking, so the two of them simply complained and continued chatting.
regain strength.
There is another purpose for this trip.
"Mr. Shen, the chef who bakes big cakes..."
If he wants to poach someone, he can give him any amount of pocket money.
Before he finished speaking, Shaochong was keenly aware of the unfamiliar aura approaching. He immediately raised his eyes and looked over in displeasure. What he saw was a group of tall and sturdy pink figures. The latter's eyes were falling on Jun Shen who was working together.
In other words, it's on top of the pie.
Shaochong asked the other party: "A strong man also wants to eat?"
The next sentence was: "It's just that you came at an unlucky time. Mr. Shen will not give it to someone with whom he has a bad relationship, no matter how greedy he is."
Wei Shou: "..."
He is not greedy at all, let alone wants to eat.
Shen Tang seemed calm and composed, but in fact she was feeling quite embarrassed inside. She sat upright and put the last bite into her mouth calmly. She stood up gracefully and calmly, and raised the most standard smile on her lips: "Thanks to General Wei for today.
, Otherwise, I don’t know how many soldiers died in this battle, please accept your respects from Youli——"
"No, it's not the first time that General Shen and I have met, so those polite and warm solicitations will be omitted. Just skip them, it's okay for you and me." Wei Shou raised his hand to refuse very rudely, but he still remembered Shen Tang's words.
The scene of Wan jumping out of the window with two scribes.
Shen Tang also stopped moving very simply.
He stood up straight and said, "General Wei, please be happy."
Wei Shou still looked at the tall young man in front of him unhappily, and opened his mouth to get straight to the point: "Jun Shen also knows that because of your adviser Chu Wuhui, I had to abandon my old master Zheng Qiao. Now besides Jun Shen
, I don’t have a better place to go right now. If it’s just one person, I can say anything, but not the group of brothers who follow me through life and death.”
Shen Tang nodded and said, "This is natural."
Her cheerful and frank attitude actually made Wei Shou's critical favorability increase a lot. However, talking about money hurts feelings, and talking only about feelings will hurt money. The salary must be negotiated in advance before going to work: "Shen
How much military pay can you give me per year?"
Shen Tang asked Wei Shou how many troops he had under his command.
Wei Shou said: "Not many, more than 2,500 people."
He said this lightly, but there was a look of pride in his eyes. He should indeed be proud, the number of private troops of this size was more than double the normal size. Military generals such as Zhao Feng, private troops
The song only lasted about a thousand or so.
It's not that Zhao Feng can't expand, but it costs money to maintain it.
Wei Shouhui chose to follow Zheng Qiao, and a large part of the reason was that Zheng Qiao was generous to brave warriors, treated him well, and provided generous rewards. Most of his private troops were brought from his hometown, and everyone took advantage of them.
Rice follows him.
It is impossible for him to change jobs without considering their livelihood - the treatment Shen Tang will give him later will largely determine whether Shen Tang is his temporary lord or his long-term lord.
Shen Tang didn't know what Wei Shou was thinking, but Chu Yao did know a little bit, but he was not worried at all, and had no intention of reminding Shen Tang. Because Chu Yao knew his lord's temper very well, and in order to cultivate military discipline, he prevented soldiers from massacres and looting.
In order to survive, she was very generous to the soldiers. She may not have much money, but she would never starve them, and they would have enough rice and food.
really--
Shen Tang asked again: "How do they eat?"
Wei Shou secretly frowned and replied: "They are all young and strong men, and their appetites cannot be reduced. They eat as much as an adult man can eat. Most of them have left their hometowns and have no relatives, but some of them have families.
."
Shen Tang lowered his head and thought for a moment.
He took out a blank piece of bamboo and wrote a string of words with a pen.
He said solemnly: "General Wei's first step in conquering Chaoliguan is undoubtedly the first success... Look, can this work?"
She handed the bamboo piece to Wei Shou.
After Wei Shou took it, he looked at it at a glance, and there was a moment of astonishment on his face. It was not that Shen Tang was too stingy and offered a very low salary. On the contrary, the treatment she gave was too good, and it was not as good as her family could afford.
Military pay was paid on a monthly basis. Although the money was not much, there was a lot of rice, grain, oil and meat, and two sets of new clothes and shoes every season. In winter, an additional five kilograms of cotton would be distributed.
Because of this meritorious service, I received two months more military pay.
The key is--
Monthly!
Wei Shou put down the bamboo piece and looked suspiciously.
Shen Tang thought it was because the treatment was too low, and said sincerely: "...General Wei, although you don't have much money, you have a lot of necessities for life. At this age, it is not easy to have enough food."
There is still too little land for her to farm.
We can't afford too many elites.
Of course, the number she gave is not the final bottom line, and there is still room for negotiation. If Wei Shou's lion opens his mouth and the negotiation fails, it means that she and Wei Shou are destined to have no connection. It's just a pity that Wu Hui couldn't recruit him after a lot of planning.
This is a mighty general.
Who knows, Wei Shou just asked: "What is cotton?"
Shen Tang explained: "It's similar to reed catkins..."
"Reed cotton wadding? These things are not good at keeping out the cold, but -" Wei Shou is also an honest man on the outside, but he also has calculations in his heart. No matter whether Shen Tang's family background is thin or thick, if he dares to give this bargaining chip in public, he will not regret it in the short term.
Even if he couldn't afford the supply, he would still make a fool of himself. These burdens were something Shen Tang should worry about and had nothing to do with him. So he changed the topic and said, patting his chest, "However, the soldiers in the end are all real men who can withstand the cold.
I have fought shirtless in winter!"
He claims to have jumped directly from "old man" to "final general".
Shen Tang didn't notice for a moment and concentrated on explaining: "General Wei misunderstood. What I meant is that cotton and reed catkins are both used as fillings for clothes, but their warmth retention properties are not comparable. Cotton is superior.
What about something to keep out the cold?"
Wei Shou nodded perfunctorily, obviously not listening.
The corners of Chu Yao's lips curled up, and his eyes were filled with light.
Shen Tang didn't react until Mian Mian finished speaking. He looked at Wei Shou and said with great joy: "General Wei, do you agree?"
Wei Shou also generously held his own Wu Bold Tiger Talisman with both hands: "Wei is leading the crowd and is willing to work for Lord Shen!"
Shen Tang covered the tiger talisman with his hand.
"I will live up to the general's trust." She is no longer the confused young woman who was at a loss when faced with Gong Shuwu's loyalty.
When Shen Tang's words fell, Wei Shou keenly noticed a warm current flowing down her palms and into his Danfu Wudan. This feeling was all too familiar to him. He immediately looked up at Shen Tang in shock, but soon
He lowered his head again, his mind buzzing.
This piece of shit Chu Wuhui...
How dare you!
Lord Shen in front of him actually holds the national seal in his hand!
The warm current that cannot be ignored just now is clearly martial arts luck!
Shen Tang helped Wei Shou up with both hands and smiled as if he had picked up a lot of money. With Wei Shou joining, his family could be considered to have a serious top combat power of 800, and it was finally not too biased. Shen Tang took out the big cake and asked: "Wei Shou"
The general fought a battle, are you hungry?"
Wei Shou: "...Lord, I will never be hungry."
Unable to sell it, Shen Tang could only digest it on his own.
Shen Tang recruited Wei Shou, and the income has exceeded expectations. He doesn't care much about how much benefit he can get from the spoils sharing conference... ah, no, the commendation conference. She is a Buddhist, but Gu Chi is not, and he still spends every penny. Relying on his wealth
The scribe's way of reading minds can grasp the thoughts of everyone in the tent. He opened his mouth and said, "My lord ascends to seize the city first", "Bai Su bent his bow and shot the flag", "Chu Yao planned the overall situation to rebel against Wei Shou"... No.
Isn’t it justified to have the first merit? Isn’t it unreasonable not to give priority to selecting prisoners?
Of course, my lord respected Alliance Leader Huang very much, and Alliance Leader Huang, who was wise, powerful, and distinguished between public and private affairs, united everyone and achieved today's great victory. In allocating prisoners, Alliance Leader Huang naturally gave priority.
Huang Lie was put in a high hat by Gu Chi and it was difficult to refute him.
Gu Ren agreed from the side, and Wu Xian had no objection.
Tao Yan, who had opinions, was irritated by Gu Chi - he was not very capable but had a big appetite - Tao Yan's face turned green.
Only then did Gu Chi feel satisfied.
Of course, there would be further wrangling, and he would have to watch every step. Shen Tang felt at first that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.
"Huang Lie also wants to lose face, isn't it too deceptive?"
Gu Chi said that the Lord was still too young.
"How much is your face worth?" Suppose you are allocated 3,000 prisoners, and what you end up with are 3,000 wounded prisoners, or 3,000 oldest prisoners, or 3,000 bastards... They are not responsible for after-sales service.
The water is deep.
Shen Tang: "..."
Other trophies have the same problem.
Shen Tang simply delegated power to Gu Chi to handle everything.
When the Allied Forces of the Dragon Slaying Bureau captured Chaoli Pass, they did not set up camp immediately. Instead, they recuperated for a few days. Although the capture of Chaoli Pass went smoothly, the army of heroic spirits at the beginning still cost them a lot of troops. Now they are exhausted.
Not suitable to continue fighting.
The news of the fall of Chaoliguan quickly reached Zheng Qiao's ears.
He was furious when he heard this and kicked the table down.
He pulled out the sword from his waist and cracked the table gum in half - since the last assassination in Yan'an, Zheng Qiao, who was already suspicious and sensitive, became more and more suspicious and picked up the habit of wearing a sword again. But because of this, the internal prisoner and the prisoner who died in his hands
There are countless palace ladies.
"Lost at Chaoliguan?"
"How did you lose it?"
"How could you throw it away!"
Zheng Qiao tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and asked three questions in succession. The people below did not dare to breathe, for fear that this life-threatening sword would fall on them. Zheng Qiao asked sharply: "Where is Li He?"
He is very aware of Li He's abilities.
The people below replied: "Supervisor Li was beheaded."
"Beheaded? Who did it?"
"I don't know, but someone found his head..."
Li He's head was discovered by the remnant soldiers who fought their way out of Chaoliguan Pass. It is said that the head was randomly discarded. When it was found, it had been eaten by birds and most of his face had been lost.
Zheng Qiao became even more furious when he heard this.
Without any explanation from his subordinates, he could guess what the death of Li He as a lobbyist meant. He must have failed in persuading Shen Tang, which led to his death. Zheng Qiao asked about the details of the battle at Chaoliguan again. When he learned that Chaoliguan
When the defense fell, Wei Shou assassinated the guard general, led his troops to rebel, and cooperated with the Dragon Slaying Bureau's coalition forces internally and externally. His anger instantly rose to the peak, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Wei Shou! What a great Wei Yuanyuan!"
Zheng Qiao's words were squeezed out from his back molars.
He thought he treated Wei Shou well - because Wei Shou was different from the ambitious warriors under his command. Wei Shou's purpose was very clear. He wanted to feed the people he brought from his hometown and neither fight for power nor gain.
There are a few people that Zheng Qiao doesn't have to worry about. Wei Shou's ambition is easily satisfied, so Zheng Qiao has been trusting him all these years, but who knows that this guy is the first to betray him...
Of course, this is not the only bad news.
The men he sent out to capture Wei Shou's relatives also returned without success. It can be seen that Wei Shou's rebellion was not a spur of the moment but a long-term plan. Although he was angry, Zheng Qiao had not completely lost his mind. He knew well that after passing Chaoli Pass, the terrain
It is flat and the counties have no natural danger to rely on. It will be a matter of time before they are overrun by the coalition forces.
The most urgent task is to come up with countermeasures.
After the good-for-nothing Jiang Ao died, Zheng Qiao could use the sixteenth-level master to create a person. Although this person's combat power was not comparable to that of the good-for-nothing dim sum Jiang Ao, there was still a risk of damage. He carefully picked up the available people in his hands, and the palace lights were not extinguished all night long.
.
It was late at night, and the night wind was freezing.
Zheng Qiao rubbed the center of his brows, trying to shake away the sleepiness.
Suddenly, he seemed to see a familiar figure in the candlelight. When his vision refocused, there was nothing there. Looking at the bright moon outside the window, he sighed softly: "Senior brother..." But the man was already dead.
.
Military camp, camp.
Shen Tang couldn't sleep at night.
Climb to a high place and find a great view to see the moon.
After not admiring it for a while, she keenly heard the noise caused by the weapon breaking through the air. Shen Tang, an expert in art, was brave and followed the sound to find it. In the dark night, the shadows of swords danced, intertwining into a dragnet. She leaned against the rocks and watched intently.
For quite a while.
Until the man sheathed his sword.
"Tunan."
The person dancing the sword at night was none other than Ning Yan.
Ning Yan also noticed Shen Tang nearby early in the morning.
He saluted and said: "My lord."
Shen Tang's eyes were full of admiration, he broke a branch and brought it over, saying: "I didn't expect Tunan to have such a handsome sword movement. Hehe, my hands are itchy after seeing it."
Ning Yan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "What do you mean, lord?"
Shen Tang held up the branch and said with a smile: "Are we going to pass?"
Ning Yan drew her sword out of its sheath without saying a word.
"Please enlighten me!"
Although the point was over, the two figures struggled with each other for dozens of moves before they stopped. The branch in Shen Tang's hand was imbued with martial energy, no worse than an ordinary sharp blade. Two completely different sword lights entangled and danced together under the moonlit night. Shen Tang
Only then did I realize that Ning Yan's swordsmanship was very orthodox. Each move was soft yet strong, dense and long-lasting. If you didn't make a move, it would be nothing more than an astonishing thunder!
