The moment he stepped into the gate of the military camp, the smell of blood made Li Cheng want to vomit. It was not that he had never killed someone, but he had never seen more than a hundred corpses neatly placed in the school military field. These people
There were various signs of death, the most common of which was panic. There were still more than twenty people kneeling under the stage, each with their heads hanging down. Behind them stood men with swords. The cold wind blew randomly in the school military field.
Blow and pour into the neck, sending chills down the spine.
Su Ren hurriedly ran up from the general stand and saluted the Chengdu captain: "Oh, I'm so sorry that the captain came to the military camp to hand over on such a cold day. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, captain!"
Chengdu Colonel rolled his eyes: "Su Lieutenant, what do you mean?"
Su Ren smiled: "Haha, it's nothing. These guys can't do anything. I think they will all be my subordinates sooner or later, so let them have a better memory." When Su Ren said this, he glanced at Li Cheng next to him.
Li Cheng unconsciously shrank behind the Chengdu captain.
The Chengdu captain wanted to have a fit, but was interrupted by the soldier Cao Rongshi: "Since the captain is here, Su captain should hand over the matter quickly. This matter cannot be delayed any longer! According to the imperial decree, the handover should have been long ago!"
"Yes, yes!" Su Ren said with a smile on his face and waved his hand. A dozen soldiers pulled a cart to the school military field. The cart was filled with a lot of bamboo slips: "This is what I just received from the soldiers."
The captain can take a look at the documents you brought, and if there are no objections, we will hand them over in the same manner!"
"Huh!" The Chengdu captain snorted coldly and turned his head away from Su Ren.
The Han Dynasty was famous for its military force, and there was no situation where people were eating empty pay and drinking soldiers' blood. However, the mountains in Shu County were high and the emperor was far away, and people's greed would make them forget that people would die under the king's law. In the past, the handover between two officials would have
At that time, as long as the general figures are not too bad, and the predecessor makes a generous gift to the current incumbent, the handover can be easily completed. It is impossible to serve an official even if he does not serve himself.
At the end of the year, the Chengdu captain also gave Su Ren a generous gift. Su Ren accepted it politely at that time, but now he has brought out the paperwork to reconcile the accounts. This is a bit shameless.
Sima Xiangru took out a scroll from the top of the bamboo slips and unfolded it gently: "Today, the Chengdu County barracks still has 211 sets of armor, including 3 sets of iron armor, 208 sets of leather armor, and 599 weapons.
Fourteen items, including 180 halberds, 137 crossbows, 277 heavy swords, and several arrows..."
Every time Sima Xiangru read a number, the Chengdu captain's face jumped. He gritted his teeth, tried hard to suppress his anger, and waited until Sima Xiangru finished reading.
Su Ren smiled and said: "Captain, can you go to the armory now to check? It's better than this?"
"You!" The Chengdu captain's eyes were already bloodshot, and he pointed at Su Ren with his finger: "You! Wait!" He turned around and was about to leave.
Huo Jin choked and pulled out his sword and put it on the Chengdu captain's neck: "You want to leave before you figure it out? Did my elder brother let you go?"
The Chengdu captain's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he stretched out his hand to push away Hawking's sword. Hawking snorted: "What? Are you still resisting?"
The Chengdu captain closed his eyes: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Su Renyi raised his hand and pushed Hawking's arm away: "We don't want anything. You have been the captain of Chengdu for so many years. We can't make up for the shortfall you have caused, right? As long as you make up for all the shortcomings,
Nothing happens to us!"
"That's hundreds of thousands of dollars!" The Chengdu captain's voice was pleading.
"You can get it back if you can!" Su Ren said: "I just took a quick look. In addition to these armors and weapons, the food and grass are only more than one million stones. As for the repairs and pensions of other barracks, you don't need it.
I can only recognize so much. Although I am a businessman, I have no money, really no money!"
"How can I have so much money?"
Bing Cao Rongshi pulled the Chengdu captain's sleeve: "Captain, please mend it! If you don't want to mend it..." He didn't say the second half of the sentence. He just looked around. Su Ren's guards were eyeing them. As long as Su Ren didn't
If you speak, no one will leave the barracks.
The Chengdu captain sighed: "Okay! I'll make up for it!"
Su Ren immediately put on a smile on his face: "Is this right? Mr. Sima, could you please calculate how much it is, it's probably enough, forget about the small changes!" He hugged the Chengdu captain's shoulders and whispered.
: "Come on, let's go have a drink. I got two jars of good wine from home, just in time to try it. I won't give it to ordinary people!"
The Chengdu captain was dragged away by Su Ren. Sima Li Cheng stood there blankly, whether he was following or not. When he was helpless, Gou Tianming winked at Li Cheng and said, "Let's go, Li Sima."
Right? Kneel there first and see how my master will deal with you!"
Before Li Cheng could speak, Gou Tianming pushed him and almost pushed Li Cheng to the ground.
Sima Xiangru quickly calculated the result. The total deficit was one hundred and five hundred and twelve yuan.
Su Renyi waved his hand: "Forget it, it's only 100,000 yuan. I'll pay the rest for the captain! Send someone to the captain's home to tell them that the captain and I are drinking in the camp and ask them to send the money.
Come!"
This is a naked kidnapping. If the Chengdu captain couldn't see it, he would be a fool. But he had no choice but to be forced here. If he didn't come up with the money, Su Ren might really kill him. Even if he didn't,
If this matter was reported to the court, he would not be the only one to die.
The captain of Chengdu felt that the wine he drank was very strong, so strong that his whole brain was numb. He wanted to curse, so he did so, first scolding the dead Meng Ji, then scolding Captain Tang Meng, and finally he scolded himself
.Every word he said was very unpleasant and vicious. No matter how hard Bing Cao Rongshi tried to pull him, he couldn't hold him back. The anxious Bing Cao Rongshi could only explain it to Su Ren again and again.
The money was delivered early the next morning, and the captain of Chengdu was carried back. He drank and vomited all night, and cursed while drinking. He was like a lunatic.
Huo Jin chuckled and said: "This guy thought he would be safe if he followed Tang Meng, but this is enough to hurt his body!"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's not Tang Meng, this guy is very good! Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, let's go see the guy who has been kneeling all night!"
The school military field was completely silent, and the night dew was frozen by the air-conditioning into ice foam, which stuck to his hair and beard. Li Cheng knelt all night, his whole body was numb, and his brain was buzzing. The weather in Shu County was actually not that good.
It's not very cold. If it were placed anywhere in the north, it would be strange if it could survive a night without freezing to death.
Seeing Su Ren coming over, Li Cheng kowtowed as if pounding garlic, his head banging on the hard ground: "Principal Lieutenant, have mercy on me! Lieutenant, have mercy on me!"
Li Cheng is only in his twenties this year, but he looks like he is forty years old. He has wrinkles on his face, an unkempt beard, and a tall body. You can tell at a glance that he is a good soldier. However, if you think Li Cheng is a rough guy, then
You have been fooled. If you are not smart, you will not be able to sneak into the position of Sima in your twenties. Li Cheng's home is in Hebei. He fled to Shu County because of an incident in his hometown. For some reason, he joined the county army. After a few years, he actually
Being a Sima can be regarded as a legendary figure.
"Tell me! Are you prepared to die or live?"
"The villain must live!" Li Cheng was still kowtowing, with blood already visible on his forehead: "I beg the captain to bypass me this time. From now on, I, Li Cheng, will obey your orders and follow the captain in front and back, and I will never break my promise!"
Su Ren pulled Li Cheng and looked at him carefully: "If you want to survive, I will give you a task. Once you complete it, you will survive. If..."
"The villain has tried his best and will never let down the captain!"
"Haha, you agreed so readily even before I even said what I was going to do!"
"Even if the villain is allowed to die, the villain will never complain!"
"Oh! Then you die!"
Su Ren winked at Huo Jin, who took out his dagger and threw it in front of Li Cheng. Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked up at Su Ren, saw Su Ren looking at him, sighed slightly, stretched out his hand and
Picking up the dagger from the ground, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand to pierce it into his heart.
"Bang!" There was a sound. Li Cheng felt a strong force hit the dagger in his hand. The dagger in his hand flew out, and he fell to the ground on his back.
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed loudly: "You are not afraid of death, so what are you afraid of! Okay, as long as you are wholehearted, I will not treat you badly!"
Li Cheng fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time. This was the most desperate night in his life. Even when he killed someone in Hebei, he never felt so uncomfortable.
After this torment, Su Ren actually took over as the Chengdu captain, and the situation before him was not optimistic at all. Tang Meng did an incredible job. Basically, Su Ren was just a polished commander, with no important people, no money, and no need.
There was no food and grass, not even the necessary weapons and armor. It could be said that if he wanted to truly become a captain in Chengdu, Su Ren would have to solve everything by himself.
Sima Xiangru said while looking at the document: "Sir, things are not optimistic! Even if we get manpower from Yuanshan and use the 100,000 yuan to buy some food and grass, the soldiers and armor are not available. The soldiers and armor in the entire Shu County are all gone."
It is supplied by the Zhuo family. As county soldiers, there is no supply from the court. As long as Tang Meng does not help us, the prefect is probably powerless. We have to do all this ourselves!"
"Tsk! The matter of Bingjia is really a bit tricky. Don't worry, let me think about it first!" Su Ren shook his head, unable to do anything.
Huo Jin came up to Su Ren and said, "Brother, I have an idea!"
"Oh, what's your idea? Tell me!"
Huo Jin chuckled and said: "Isn't Zhuo Wangsun stepping up his efforts to build weapons and armor during this period? As soon as our people come, they just rush in and grab it. That's what those guys in Yuanshan are doing!"
Gou Tianming's eyes lit up: "Yes! This is a good idea, grab it!"
"Ha!" Su Ren was so angry that he raised his hand and touched Hawking's head: "I know how to rob, can you use your brain? We are county soldiers, not bandits!" (To be continued)
