The soldiers who had just returned victoriously had a party for three consecutive days.
Drink from a big bowl and eat meat with a big mouthful.
This kind of benefit is rare in the military only once a year.
The tense nerves on the battlefield were completely relaxed under the anesthesia of alcohol.
"If you ask me, the general should be the prime minister."
"Who else has this qualification except the general?"
In the military camp after the carnival, some soldiers shook their heads, slapped the table and shouted loudly.
They were drunk and felt that it was very unfair that the king would not be promoted to prime minister this time.
After defeating Yuan Shao this time, the soldiers who returned from victory, whether they were generals, lieutenants, captains, or even the most ordinary soldiers, were all rewarded.
The military morale and public opinion were all on Wang Ding's side, and they all hoped that Wang Ding could serve as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
"I'm really unwilling."
"Let's go to the general and ask him to be the prime minister." Someone suggested because he was drunk.
The originally noisy camp suddenly became quiet, and many soldiers suddenly woke up from their drunkenness.
With the help of alcohol, they can talk nonsense in the military camp. They have just returned from victory, and the generals above will not pay much attention to them.
But not everyone has the courage to leave the military camp privately or go to the general's palace.
"We cannot leave the camp without military orders. Anyone who violates this will be punished with fifty military sticks."
If you receive fifty military sticks, you won't be able to get out of bed for at least a month. You may even be left with hidden illnesses.
"This..." Many people hesitated.
All the armies under Wang Ding's command have strict military discipline. Even Han Sui, Ma Chao and others do not attach much importance to military discipline.
However, Wang Ding had already established the military discipline of the Han Dynasty.
There are clear standards and no generals are needed to maintain them.
The disciplinary officers in the army will naturally keep a close eye on Wang Ding.
Among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, there were only a few who dared to disobey military discipline.
That was a bloody lesson. Anyone who has stayed in the army for a month will understand how strict military discipline is in the Han army.
Those who disobey military discipline will be killed when necessary and beaten when necessary. No mercy will be shown.
Even generals and lieutenants are merciless.
Someone said: "We dare not leave the camp without authorization. We can go to the general and ask him to take us out."
"Yes, go find General Ma Chao."
A group of soldiers, drunk and cheering, came outside Ma Chao's camp.
At this moment, Ma Chao was also holding a jar of fine wine, drunk and blurry.
"What's the noise outside?" Ma Chao wanted to stand up, but his body swayed and he almost fell down.
"General, it's drunken soldiers causing trouble."
"Drive them away." Ma Chao was in a bad mood.
Not only because Wang Ding did not serve as prime minister.
Also because of this battle with Yuan Shao, Ma Chao felt very aggrieved.
Not only did he get no credit, he also received a hundred military sticks.
As a result, during the war, others went to make contributions, but he could only lie on the bed.
After returning in triumph this time, others were either promoted or made rich, and their titles were upgraded to three levels in a row.
But he had nothing.
Now the soldiers under his command actually dare to come to his camp to cause trouble.
If Ma Chao hadn't been unable to stand still, he would have had these troublemaking soldiers break a few bones.
"The general is resting. Please retreat quickly without disturbing the general." Ma Dai walked out of the tent and shouted in a deep voice.
"General Ma Dai, we don't want to make trouble, we just feel unfair for the general." someone shouted.
"I beg General Ma Chao to take us to see the general."
"I'm waiting to see the general."
Ma Dai's face changed slightly, and his scalp felt numb.
If he doesn't handle it properly, the soldiers in front of him are likely to mutiny.
I really want Ma Chao to take these hot-headed soldiers to see the general.
Ma Dai couldn't even imagine this result.
If they follow Wang Ding's wishes, they may achieve great success.
But if Wang Ding is offended, Ma Chao, as a general, will be doomed and his life may be lost.
As Ma Chao's lieutenant, if Ma Chao is killed, his consequences can be imagined.
"Do you want breakfast?"
Just when Ma Dai hesitated and didn't know how to solve the problem, Ma Chao staggered out.
The spear in his hand was used as a crutch.
One of the soldiers scratched his neck and said: "I beg you, general, to take us to see the general."
After drinking some wine, they became much bolder.
If they were sober, they would never say such words.
Ma Chao said: "Go...to see the general...what's the matter?"
"We would like to invite the general to serve as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty."
"Okay, I'll take you there right now."
Ma Chao, who was already drunk, didn't think about the consequences at all. He slapped his head and went with the soldiers in front of him.
Ma Dai grabbed Ma Chao and said: "General, think twice."
Ma Chao's back injury has just recovered, but he can't offend Wang Ding anymore.
"Let go." Ma Chao swung his arm. Although his feet were unsteady, it was still difficult for Ma Dai to resist the force of this swish.
Ma Dai was thrown away and staggered, and he couldn't help but let go of Ma Chao's hand.
"Let's go, call everyone... and let them all follow... me."
"Let's go see the general." These drunken-eyed soldiers cheered one by one, surrounded Ma Chao, and walked outside the military camp.
Some of the soldiers who were still awake hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, and followed Ma Chao silently.
"What happened?"
There are also soldiers hiding in the camp to rest, not knowing why.
But I saw a group of compatriots walking towards the outside of the camp.
Everyone followed curiously.
Thinking there was some kind of mission, some people even put on battle armor and picked up spears.
When the soldiers guarding the camp gate saw that it was Ma Chao leading the people out, they did not dare to stop them and opened the camp gate directly.
The 10,000-person military camp became empty in an instant, leaving only a hundred or so soldiers guarding it. They were completely confused as to what was going on.
"Ma Chao, wake up, it's still too late to go back now." Ma Dai was dragged forward, and he wanted Ma Chao to stop.
But the noisy sounds around him had already covered up his words.
Now even if Ma Chao can hear his voice, he can't stop Ma Chao.
Being drunk and surrounded by a group of equally crazy people, Ma Chao didn't think about the consequences at all.
Ten thousand soldiers soon arrived at the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city were not under Ma Chao's control. Looking at Ma Chao who was smelling of alcohol, he would naturally not let him lead the army into the city.
But the soldiers in the front were staggering and had to support each other when walking.
"Get out of my way, general." Ma Chao raised the spear in his hand and wanted to force his way into Rucheng.
"Ma Chao, are you going to rebel?"
Zhang Xiu is in charge of the defense of Luoyang today. He is not afraid of Ma Chao.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Xiu is definitely no match for Ma Chao.
But now, Ma Chao's steps are frivolous and he can't hold the spear in his hand steadily. How can he be Zhang Xiu's opponent?
Zhang Xiu just stabbed out with a spear, and the spear in Ma Chao's hand was knocked away.
Feeling the coldness in his throat, Ma Chao's feet stopped shaking and he was mostly drunk.
Looking at Zhang Xiusen's cold eyes, if he took another step forward, the tip of the spear would definitely pierce his neck.
