Chapter 203 Su Lu, who embezzled and sold horse money
"The Thule people are also soldiers, and they can fight without dying."
Su Lu said something, took another piece of watermelon, and took a bite under the envious eyes of the former bandits and current guardsmen.
So sweet.
This watermelon is a specialty of Yunling Village. Chen Si and the others brought back a lot. Su Lu felt good after eating it, so he ordered Lao He and his brigade of scouts to take advantage of the time to visit the spot and get another large batch.
Su Ping threw away the whip, untied his robe, opened the front hem, fanned the wind vigorously, picked up a watermelon, took a vicious bite, and sat down next to Su Lu.
"Second brother, you should let me lead the army to suppress the bandits. Training these guys is really nerve-wracking. If we were on the battlefield, I would have killed these idiots long ago and couldn't even remember which direction to turn."
After Su Lu finished eating the watermelon, he patted Su Ping on the shoulder and pointed at the neat queue.
"This is much better than your kid used to do. You want to suppress the bandits, where are your soldiers?"
When Su Ping heard this, he gnawed on the watermelon. Almost everyone in the Jiawei camp was killed. This was all because of his rash advance. Every time he thought about this, Su Ping felt very regretful.
With the melon rind still on the ground, Su Ping stood up and said in a low voice: "I'm going to train."
Zhang Lu looked at Su Ping's back and said worriedly: "Master Hou, if you want to beat Su Ping, there is no need to mention it all the time. I think Su Ping regrets it himself."
Su Lu shook his head when he heard this: "What's the use of regret? If regret is useful, all those who died in Jiawei Camp can survive, then I regret going there every day."
Zhang Lu was speechless and didn't know how to continue. What the hell, what Mr. Hou said made sense.
The sound of men and horses neighed outside the camp. Fatty Zhao returned with his troops. The cavalry pulled out two long teams and surrounded dozens of carts in the middle. Bandits wearing rough cloth and shirtless Thule soldiers walked in the middle, like frost.
Like eggplant.
Zhang Lu stood up excitedly: "Let's go and take a look. Let's see what good things Fatty Zhao has brought back. This kid knows how to collect food. He even threw away a lot of weapons last time. It's really hard to carry it."
Clear the light and the heavy.”
Zhang Lu led a group of guards to greet him, laughed and scolded Fatty Zhao for a few words, and then began to sort them into different categories.
Pick out those who have killed people and seen blood.
Young and strong picked out
The old, weak, women and children were singled out
Those who need to be handed over to the camp to report their merits will be picked out. The remaining ones will be rushed to the newly built earth kiln first according to the old rules to burn the adobe bricks in the kiln. After a few days, those who can survive without running away will be transferred to the building.
Go to the house team.
If you can survive without escaping, then you can move to training and start training troops.
As for those who escaped in the middle, they were all thrown into the earthen kiln to be burned in the kiln. If they wanted to escape, they could just cut off their heads with a knife and throw them into the pile of heads to report to the camp for merit.
After such a combination of punches, the eliminated quasi-guards were ordered and prohibited, and their military appearance was neat. Except that they had no horses, they were no different from the guards in the B-guard camp, B-guard camp, and Ding-guard camp.
Especially the Thule soldiers in the middle are easier to use than the cavalry under Sulu, and you would be a fool not to use them.
Su Lu was nibbling watermelon when suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the camp. A group of guards passed through the crowd and entered the camp.
Changning was dressed in military uniform and rode a red horse into the camp. When he saw Su Lu under the shade of the trees, he got off his horse, threw the reins to the guards, and strode over.
"Master Marquis, I came here under orders to deliver the documents to you."
Su Lu nodded and pointed to the chair next to him where Zhang Lu was originally sitting: "Sit down, eat melon, Chang Ning, what is written in this document, do you still need to go there in person?"
Chang Ning sat down politely, picked up a piece of watermelon and started to chew on it. The weather was so hot that he drank all the water he brought with him.
After eating a piece of watermelon, Chang Ning felt that the heat in his throat had subsided a lot, and then he spoke.
"Something happened in the camp. General Lin colluded with Thule and exchanged letters with the rebellious Li Xun. They were found out by Dingxiang Guards."
Su Lu nodded. Among the senior officials of the Xuan Mansion, he and He Geng were the most suspected. Unexpectedly, it was him.
Changning glanced at the watermelon on the table, swallowed, and continued:
"Lin Tong committed suicide. The general promised to exempt him from the punishment of the three clansmen. He was looked down upon by all the generals in the camp."
"It's all to save me."
Chang Ning's voice was filled with sobs, whether it was because of thirst or sadness.
Su Lu patted Chang Ning's shoulder, stood up and told Ni Ba: "Go and fish out some watermelons soaked in the well to quench everyone's thirst."
Niba went away in response, and several guards hurriedly followed him, wanting to see the watermelon soaked in the well.
Soon, the soaked watermelon was fished out of the well and cut into pieces. The bright red flesh made people swallow their saliva.
Su Lu picked up a piece and took a bite. It was cool enough but not sweet enough.
"Su Ping, come here and disband your soldiers. Everyone is there. Let's go to the well to fish for a watermelon."
Su Lu called Su Ping over and gave instructions.
Su Lu was a little worried: "Second brother, I had a bad attitude just now. I apologize to you. In the past, if you performed well in training, you would have watermelon to eat. How come you have it now?"
Su Lu patted Su Ping's shoulder and pointed at Changning, who was chewing watermelon in his dream: "Did you see that the princess guard is in charge of Changning?"
Su Ping stared at the watermelon in Changning's hand for a long time, with a look of regret on his face:
"The princess's bodyguard is so delicious. Second brother, please don't send her to me. The watermelons I earn every day are not enough for her to eat alone."
Changning shouted and turned around, glaring at Su Ping angrily.
Su Ping turned around and left: "I'm going to share the watermelon right now."
Su Lu told Chang Ning: "Tomorrow Su Ping will lead the army to attack the bandits in Huangsagou. You can go with him. Huangsagou has beautiful scenery, poor mountains and harsh waters, and you will have a lot to see."
Changning had a look of astonishment on his face. "Beautiful scenery and poor mountains and rivers, when did these two words come together?"
The next day, at dawn, Changning was woken up by a guard.
Following the guards out of the camp, Chang Ning saw the guards who had gathered to eat. In the huge school grounds, except for the occasional sound of chopsticks hitting rice bowls, there was no other sound.
Chen Si brought porridge and steamed buns to Chang Ning and said with a smile: "Captain Chang Ning, please eat it. Don't eat too much. We will fight later. If you eat too much, it will affect the war."
Chang Ning glanced at Chen Si in surprise: "Do you still understand this?"
Chen Si chuckled, immersed himself in eating, and did not answer Chang Ning.
After breakfast, the whole army went out and headed straight for Huangshagou.
Chang Ning was riding on the horse, chatting with Chen Si next to her. She was a little curious. Aren't the left army all cavalry? Why did the Jiawei battalion led by Su Ping all become infantry?
Could it be that he was lining his own pockets? Thule had not yet been defeated, and the atmosphere of the Soviet Army was like this. He was living up to the princess's expectations of him.
"Xiao Si, where are your horses? Have they been sold to the Thule people?"
Chang Ning asked Chen Si with a tigerish face.
"Tule?"
Chen Si glanced at Chang Ning in surprise, slapped his chest and shouted:
"How is it possible? Our troops and horses were all stolen from bandits and Thule people. How could the Marquis do business with the Thule people? It's impossible, impossible."
Changning was a little disappointed when he heard this. Su Lu must have explained this in advance. When he and Su Ping were discussing something yesterday, they must have discussed this.
