I don't want to be king

Chapter 140 Decision
Bao Kui couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened a bottle of the wine he brought from Rourourong, first filled it for Zhang Mian, then poured it for himself, and after taking a sip, he sighed, "Master Zhang, that's 11 ten thousand taels of silver"

During this expedition, they emptied Sanhe's family!

Losing is not terrible, what is terrible is losing money!
If they can't make ends meet, He and the prince really might tear them apart!
"This"

Zhang Mian hesitated when he thought of the character of this prince who regards money as his life.

This and the prince's favorite must be money!

Going back so inexplicably, still empty-handed, how will the prince treat them?
The result is no need to think about it at all!

Bao Kui sighed, "Master Zhang, you have seen a lot, you should think of a way."

At least you can't lose money.

It's a pity that Sanhe is poor, otherwise he would have wanted to rob a few big households!
Zhang Mian finished his glass, filled it again with Bao Kui, clinked glasses at the same time and finished it in one gulp, curiously said, "When I was under the supervision of Yang Changchun, when I confronted Wadan, it was a hard fight.

You have dealt with the barbarians of Ayu country, and you have also gone to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion.

I have heard that the barbarians are cruel, but what about the Liangzhou rebels? "

Wouldn't it be the same as the rebels coming from Yuezhou?
He wanted to find a word to describe it, such as collapsing at the touch of a finger?
But it's not appropriate, after all, they haven't contacted the rogues, and the rogues started running away before they knew what kind of troops they were!
The Jinke lineage troops encountered later, claimed to be 2 people, but in fact there were only more than 1 people. It was the supervising team who held a sword and a bow and arrow to attack them reluctantly under the final deterrent situation!

They fired a round of random arrows and shot hundreds of people to death. The bandits were not bad, they didn't retreat, and continued to charge forward. They really panicked for a while.

But as the cavalry rushed forward, more and more rogues were killed and injured, so they retreated in a hurry, and a serious stampede occurred, and the supervising team was useless.

When doing the statistics of downsizing next night, most of the dead and injured civilians were because they saw this kind of battle for the first time. When they panicked, they instinctively ran away.

Some of the unlucky ones were run over by the carts pulling the livestock.

After the animals are frightened, they are completely out of control.

Only one or two were actually hacked by the enemies rushing down the mountain.

And the officers and soldiers under him are roughly in the same situation. Most of the recruits who will be expanded later have no military experience.

When the thief's sword came over, they were so frightened that they even forgot to dodge.

Some were directly beheaded by vicious bandits.

Fortunately, he won in the end.

And won inexplicably.

This battle is really too easy.

Bao Kui sneered and said, "Master Zhang, Wu Baishun, the leader of Liangzhou's bandits, called out millions and said he was wiped out, but he is still at ease in Jinzhou, Ningzhou, and Yuzhou.

I once chased General Zhang Bi for hundreds of miles, how can I take it easy? "

"Then what's so special about the bandits from Liangzhou?"

Zhang Mian asked puzzledly.

"My country of Liang raises millions of soldiers, the most miserable is the frontier army, the military salary is only two cents and five cents, not enough to feed for two days,"

Bao Kui took another sip of his wine and snorted coldly, "The frontier army's military households are already poor, so naturally they have turned against each other.

Most of Wu Baishun's subordinates are frontier soldiers and post soldiers.

Although the officials are corrupt and the generals are weak, and their armaments have been disarmed for a long time, they have learned martial arts since they were young, and those who should have passed the martial arts in the school field, if they really compete with the imperial army, naturally they will not give up.

Say a few more words, even if it is the Beijing camp and the imperial army in front of you, you and I know it well. "

Zhang Mian was silent for a long time, then sighed, "It's only because of General Yuan, General Mei and others who are supporting us outside."

Bao Kui snorted coldly, "If it wasn't for being here with the prince, I would have betrayed his mother a long time ago!"

"Brother Bao!

Please be careful! "

Zhang Mian couldn't help but change his face.

"Hmph," Bao Kui filled himself with wine and said disdainfully, "Master Zhang, is it possible that you still want to report to the secret guard?"

"You and my brother have been together for such a long time, saying this is cheating,"

Zhang Mian said helplessly, "It's just that walls have ears, Brother Bao better be careful."

"So what if people listen?"

Bao Kui laughed loudly and said, "Others are afraid, but I am not afraid of someone!"

"Brother Bao, drink this cup together!"

After Zhang Mian drank the wine in his glass, he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "You and I have seen the situation in front of us. I wonder if Brother Bao has any good strategies?"

In any case, he could no longer go back to Baiyun City empty-handed.

"This Jinke is too poor, it's only a thousand taels of silver,"

Bao Kui frowned and said, "Master Zhang, we can only go to Yuezhou by ourselves."

"But what the prince means is to only resist refugees."

Zhang Mian was quite suspicious, after all, he was the main general of this expedition, and he was responsible for what happened.

"But the prince never said that Sanhe is not allowed, and he is not allowed to enter Yuezhou,"

Bao Kui patted him on the shoulder suddenly, "Brother, wealth and wealth are in danger, besides, with these things, what danger can there be?"

Zhang Mian pondered for a while, then drank the wine in the glass again.

Before dawn, Sanhe officers, soldiers, and civilian husbands along the mountain road began to light fires and cook. The fragrance comes from the forest.

One after another, there were three to 4000 people.

When they were full, they were all tied up like before.

Then the civilian husband escorted him back to Baiyun City.

Bao Kui sighed, "These people are really edible."

He was afraid that they did not bring enough food.

Zhang Mian glanced at the half-dead Jin Ke who was curled up in the tent, kicked him over, and snorted coldly, "How is it, good man?"

"My lord, please forgive me"

After being tortured all night, Jinke had no choice but to seek death, and at this moment he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"Pretending to be a good man in front of Lao Tzu, you are too tender,"

Zhang Mian, as the commander of the Nanmen Military Division, is also in charge of the prison. He has seen too many people like this, and he is very confident in his interrogation methods. ?”

"Chen Zhong, he's just a waste,"

Jin Ke said while trembling, "My lord, just rest assured."

Bao Kui asked, "Who is the richest among the rogues?"

Jinke didn't understand what he meant, but he said after a while, "Of course it's Huang Sifang."

"Where?"

Bao Kui followed closely and asked.

"When I came, he was in Daxi"

Jin Ke was suddenly out of breath when Bao Kui stepped on his chest.

Zhang Mian said to the left and right, "Escorted back to Baiyun City."

This kind of person is a drag on the road, not to mention it is of no value.

Zhang Mian recruited seven or eight refugees as guides, and headed all the way to Daxi.

In the past two days, except for a few rogue bandits who have no climate, the traffic has been unimpeded.

But after seeing the boundary markers between Sanhe and Yuezhou, the cement road of Sanhe also came to an end.

There are rolling mountains in front of you, and the mountain road is rugged. If you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff, and you will be crushed if you fall.

It takes a lot of effort to leave people, let alone transport vehicles.

Zhang Mian discussed with Bao Kui, and planned to bring only the third rank and above into Yuezhou, and the rest of the people stood by.

However, to their surprise, in addition to the 800 officers and soldiers, there are more than 600 of the [-] civilian husbands who are above the third rank!
"Pork Rong, why are you joining in the fun?"

Bao Kui asked.

"Commander Bao,"

Zhu Rourong smiled and said, "You said that those above the third rank will follow, and I am the third rank!"

He and Bao Kui were old acquaintances in the capital, so they had no fear at all.

Bao Kui said loudly, "You all step back, this trip is desperate, you are civilian husbands, it has nothing to do with you."

Li Sanniang said, "Commander Bao, I don't like to hear what you say, everyone is a martial artist, even if we are against high-ranking bandits, we are not afraid.

I even killed three people with my own hands! "

"The shopkeeper Li is a woman who does not let the eyebrows be admired by me,"

Bao Kui clasped his hands and said, "But everyone has gone to Daxi, and there is no one guarding here, so it's inappropriate. I'll trouble shopkeeper Li to preside over the overall situation here."

In the end, without any explanation, Zhang Mian and Zhang Mian only brought more than [-] officers and soldiers of the third rank to Yuezhou.
