Chapter 615 Scholar, what do you mean?

After Zhang Guodong led the soldiers from the front, left, and right battalions to set off, all the people on the march had different expressions and thoughts in their hearts, while the surrounding gentry and common people in the city were all exclaimed.

In their eyes, the officers and soldiers are all lazy and look like they are in rags. Even after Zhang Cheng came to Yongning, this impression has changed a lot, and the troops sent to Yu Province to help suppress the bandits in October last year were also deployed here.

But today is different from the past. Last time, there were only three battalions of infantry, cavalry, and chariots with less than [-] soldiers and horses. This time, more than [-] troops have assembled, with fierce armor and mighty chariots. The armored and heavy cavalry shocked everyone even more, and they were astonished.

"The current Deputy Commander is very different from the former Deputy Commander Zhang..."

"That's...that's...you see, those horses are all wearing iron armor..."

"...how can you afford to support so many soldiers...this little deputy commander Zhang...where did he get the money and food..."

"Why do you care so much... Deputy Commander Zhang is strong and strong... and doesn't want our money and food... This can't protect us..."

"I'm talking about old Hetou... You're wrong to say that... Raising soldiers requires money and food... Sooner or later we have to put it on us..."

Qian Mushi, Chief Qian of the Yongning Battalion, led his officers and men back to the barracks in the north of the city, and felt a sense of loss. He stopped today's camp exercises, and after arranging the guards at the camp gate, he ordered all the soldiers to go back to the barracks to rest.

He came to Lei Kejun's camp alone, and saw that he was oiling and wiping his long knife. Qian Mushi stepped forward and said to him, "Mr. Lei, what are you doing wiping him? I don't want you to Fight the Tartars in Liaodong!"

Lei Kejun looked up at him, and said angrily: "After all, we were raised by our stepfather. We went to Henan a while ago, and we belonged to the sun, and we were not trusted enough. It makes sense. But now why?"

When he said this, he had just finished wiping the long knife, and he held it in his hand and said: "Why can't Zhang Shuai trust us, even the bandits who just recruited can go out with the army!"

Qian Mushi smiled at first, and said, "What are you thinking about? You are a good shot when you are a tartar. Did Mr. Lei get greedy after seeing the rewards from the bandits back from Henan?"

Lei Kejun put away his long knife, turned back and ran to his barracks, and said, "Qiuzi, you are not envious. Damn it, go out for a walk, everyone has a reward, this handsome one is more than dead Vice Marshal Zhang is strong."

Their commander-in-chiefs all have independent barracks, and they are also suites. The outer room is used for personal work and meeting guests, and the inner room is the place to stay. Except that there is no kitchenette, it is no different from home, and it is better than the Datong shop of ordinary soldiers much better.

It was only after the two guards helped him tidy up the interior, when they saw the two Qian Zongye come in, they rushed up to say hello, and started to boil water and make tea for them.

After Qian Mushi sat down, he smiled and said to Lei Kejun: "Brother, you have to change your bad temper. Although our handsome man is broad-minded and won't care about you, the other generals may not." .”

He tapped the table lightly with his hand, and continued: "In the future, don't mention Zhang Guowei again, although we brothers are old men under his subordinates, the commander-in-chief treats you and me well now.

Not only did we not treat you and me as outsiders, but we still asked you and me to command the soldiers and horses, and we were also given armor and guns, and even the food and wages were the same as those of the veterans under the command of the general. Such an equal treatment is indeed rare. "

Lei Kejun raised his head, looked at Qian Mushi and said, "Oh. We all understand this, but our temper is a bit more straightforward. We rough people don't have so many twists and turns. Just pay attention in the future."

He went on to say: "Speaking of Zhang Shuai, he is indeed worth following. Even if it is a bit hard to practice on weekdays, the salary is enough. He is better than our former servants, and he never defaults. We are soldiers. What, didn't you take the salary and go home to support your wife and children."

Qian Mushi then said: "It's done. Under the commander's command, we brothers are the old subordinates of the former Deputy Commander Zhang. Now we can only follow General Wu's orders and practice strictly. When we have the opportunity to fight, we will fight again." Be good and show your loyalty."

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair and said, "How about the hour for the two of us tonight?"

Lei Kejun also smiled and said, "Okay. I'll arrange for someone to go to Zuixianju in the city to have a look. Whether it's pork, mutton, or beef, just get back some."

Qian Mushi licked his lips and said, "It would be best to get some dog meat, it would be delicious!"

"Marshal, we look at Master Futai as if he is not very happy." Zhang Guangda said in a rough voice in the side hall of the vice commander's office.

Holding a teacup in his left hand, Wu Zhizhong said, "Actually, Liu Futai treated us pretty well, but this time, Zhencheng's preemptive actions made him lose face."

He Biao's face was ashen, he just drank his tea, but didn't say a word.

Wei Zhice put down his teacup and said, "Although Liu Futai showed anger in front of everyone, he might not really be angry in his heart."

Yan Qingrong listened to Wei Zhice's words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand to caress the beard on his chin, and took a sip of tea.

Zhang Guangda didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Scholar, what do you mean by that?"

Wei Zhice glared at him, and scolded with a smile: "You are blind, you have one missing eyeball, and you have a cute head. Do you think that the leader of the gang in Zhencheng is not deeply rooted? He and others have been working in Xuanzhen for a long time. Futai only respects him superficially, and how many people secretly take him seriously."

He took a sip of his tea, and continued: "This time we made a big disturbance in the town, we hit the face of Wen Hui, an old dog, and if we went further, we also offended Lin Dengyou, the left-behind deputy commander.

As for Liu Futai, I'm afraid he is secretly happy at the moment. If it works properly, he can use this to beat the gang leaders in the town, lest he waits only for profit, and no one has a heart for national affairs and strives for the country's strength. "

He Biao heard Wei Zhice's words at this time, but also fell into thought, and nodded secretly involuntarily.

Zhang Cheng put down his teacup at this time, and said: "Since I dare to do the town town, I am not afraid of other things. No matter how he reacts, just do what I see. Just get rid of you by the root!"

There was no sound in the official hall, and everyone stopped talking, but just looked at Zhang Cheng silently.

I just heard him continue: "Old Wu, after Liu Quan's troops come to Yongning, you can make another army for him on the East Road.

I have already responded to Master Qin's request to send a battalion of soldiers and horses to accompany Master Qin to take up the post. Although the exact time has not been set yet, but after much deliberation, only Liu Quan is more suitable. "

"Here!"

Suddenly, Zhang Jintai's voice came from outside the official hall: "Father, Zhang Jintai has something to report."

Zhang Cheng looked back at Zhang Chengfang who was standing sideways, and saw him walking quickly to the door, and came back after a while and said, "Father commander, Yongning's garrison Lord Tong Shouxin is out to see you."
