lady, please calm down

Chapter 193 Send him back
The 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

time.

At dawn, Chen Chu led the capital supervisor Cao Xiaojian, the commander of the Jing'an Army Zhu Da, and his generals into the camp of the Wuwei Army.

In the camp, there was a lot of smoke, and the sergeants who were still in shock were rummaging through the charred grain and grass for edible grain.

Because they didn't want to be controlled by Chen Chu, the Wuwei army brought their own rations with them. In the middle of the night, the bandits rushed into the camp. The casualties were not heavy, but the rations and grass were basically burned.

In the middle of the camp, Kou Shizhong, who was disheveled and had half of his beard burned off, sat on a wooden stake with a gloomy face, as if he didn't notice the arrival of Chen Chu and others.

"General Kou?" Cao Xiaojian stepped forward and spoke softly.

Kou Shizhong only glanced at the other party coldly, and continued to look at the ground without saying a word.

Cao Xiaojian was a little embarrassed.

Mao Dan, who was beside Chen Chu, saw that this guy was so big, and refused to obey him, "Commander Kou Shizhong of the Wuwei Army, why don't you be polite when you see my lord!"

Before Kou Shizhong could make a sound, Gong Rui, the Marquis of Yu in Rui Ziying behind him, scolded: "Where did you come from, you dare to speak loudly to Mr. Kou!"

"Hey, where the hell did you come from, little bastard?"

Yang Dalang showed his signature cheap smile and took half a step forward.

Well, Gong Rui is Yingzheng Yuhou, so it's not a problem to call Mao Dan a big soldier, but Yang Dalang, as the commander of the first army, is naturally justified in calling you a Yuhou.

Kou Shizhong, who was still sitting on the wooden stake, looked sideways at Chen Chu and the others, and said in an incomprehensible way: "Chen Dutong, it's so strange that these gangsters come here. Not only can they come and go freely in my camp, but they also treat my camp well." The layout was clear! After rushing to the camp, they burned my food and grass, and even tried to storm my Chinese army camp at one point, presumably because they wanted to get someone's head on this item."

"This gang of gangsters is indeed not to be underestimated." Chen Chu put his hands behind his back and looked back at Mangmang Wufeng Mountain, deeply convinced.

"Hehe, it's just that the lower officials don't know about one thing. How do they know where our army's food and grass are stored, and how do they know about my commander's camp?"

Kou Shizhong looked at Chen Chudao with a half-smile.

"Commander Kou, what do you mean?" Chen Chu looked down at Kou Shizhong from a high position.

"Hehe, what I mean is that we stay in the department in Caizhou, and we are afraid that someone will get in touch with bandits!"

Kou Shizhong had just finished speaking, but Yang Dalang laughed loudly, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Master Kou, I heard that you are also an old soldier who has been in the army for 20 years. When you go out to fight and set up camp, you don't set up fences, and you don't send sentries. Be on the alert, being beaten up by the bandits, you don't know how to reflect on yourself, but pour sewage on others! 20-year-old soldier? Bah! Being a dog?"

"Yellow mouth kid, you want to die!"

Kou Shizhong was furious immediately.

Although Yang Dalang was on the same level as him, in Kou Shizhong's eyes, these mudlegs who had just joined the army were just a group of lucky ones.

Where can it be compared with him.

Seeing Kou Shizhong stand up suddenly, Song Bao, Marquis of Baozi Yingyu, and Du Duofu, Marquis of Fuzi Yingyu, looked at each other with concealed eyes, and each stood motionless.

It was Gong Rui who took a step forward.

But Jiang Shuquan, the head of the Ruizi Battalion A, was even more angry than Gong Rui, and he pulled out the Yanling knife and pointed it straight at Yang Dalang, "Wu Na Heisi! If you dare to insult my lord again, I will chop you up!"

"Don't mess around! Don't mess around, put the knife away!"

Seeing the fire and posture, Cao Xiaojian became anxious.

"Harmony makes money, and harmony makes money, it's all robes, get rid of it, get rid of it"

The chubby Zhu Da persuaded with a pleasant smile, and couldn't help but wink at Kou Shizhong.

After all, Chen Chu was a Shangguan, and with so many eyes present, Kou Shizhong naturally didn't dare to mess around, first looked at Jiang Shuquan standing in front of him holding a knife with approving eyes, and then said in a low voice: "Jiang Dutou, what is this for! Put the knife away!"

Hearing this, Jiang Shuquan gave Yang Dalang a vicious look, sheathed his saber, turned around and walked behind Gong Rui.

The words were not speculative, and Chen Chu immediately led the soldiers of the Zhenhuai Army back to the camp.

When Cao Xiaojian saw the soldiers on the side of the Wuwei Army, all of them looked unhappy, and he didn't dare to wait any longer, so he hurried back.

But Zhu Da stayed for a while.

"Hey! Brother Kou, harmony makes money! Originally, food and grass were destroyed by bandits, so you can ask Mr. Dutong to second a batch of them to solve the urgent need, but you want to annoy him. This is good."

Zhu Da sighed for Kou Shizhong.

"Don't you fucking pretend to be a good person in front of me! Fuck, I'm going to return to the Zhenyang County Wuwei Army Camp if I run out of food. I won't suppress this bandit!"

"Hey! Brother, don't dare! This time the military order is under the kiss of Mr. Zhang, the appeasement envoy of the Henan Province Economic Strategy. My brother is now at odds with Mr. Dutong. If you hate Mr. Zhang again, will you, the commander, still be able to sit still?" !"

Zhu Da earnestly
"Thief bird!" Kou Shizhong scolded, but felt that what Zhu Da said made sense.

Master Zhang still has to give face.

that day.

Kou Shizhong drove away the demoralized soldiers of the Wuwei Army and re-established the camp. With the lessons learned from last night, the camp was quite strong this time.

There is no shortage of Zhimagou, Luchai, and Muzha.

He set up the marching camp as the base camp, and Kou Shizhong thought it through, it would be impossible to let him go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, so what could Chen Xiaoer do if he stayed in the camp.

Unity time.

The brand new camp was built, and the sergeants who had worked hard all day were exhausted and paralyzed.

The New Year's Eve was suddenly dragged to suppress the bandits, and he already had resentment in his heart.

Yesterday, it was a day of high-intensity marching, and after arriving at the foot of Wufeng Mountain, the camp was attacked by bandits at night.

After a night of panic, after dawn, he was driven to do heavy work again.
One pile piled up one by one, and finally someone broke out at dinner.

Because the food was burned, everyone was only given a shallow spoonful of noodle soup mixed with black ash tonight.

Not to mention being full, it doesn't even have the effect of warming the body.

The cold, tired and hungry soldiers in Baoziying immediately dropped their bowls and searched for food. Cao Guan Luren reasoned.

Nalu Ren relying on his sister is Kou Shizhong's aunt, he has been domineering in the army for a long time, so he doesn't see this gang of stinky killers in his eyes.

According to the old habit, he whipped a few people like he did Liu Siliang a few days ago.

But in the past few days, the sergeant's grievances have accumulated to a critical point. I don't know who yelled 'hit the mother', and everyone rushed forward
It's the second quarter of the unitary hour.

Lu Ren, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, knelt in the large tent of the Chinese army, crying with a lot of tears and snot, "Brother-in-law! Those killers even rushed into the Huotou army warehouse and snatched the roasted venison prepared for you! They didn't let you go at all!" In my eyes, I even whipped my ass seven times! They are not slapping my butt, they are obviously slapping my brother-in-law's face! Severe punishment, these gangsters must be severely punished!"

Kou Shizhong's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand and said, "Come here, I'll chop off this army of soldiers!"

Song Bao on the side hurriedly said: "My lord, since the brothers are first-time offenders, please spare their lives!"

Kou Shizhong looked at Song Bao, and his tone softened a bit, "Brother, our army is short of food now, if we don't use heavy codes, someone will follow suit! Don't feel bad, I'll make up another army of sergeants for you when you return to the camp!"

"grown ups!"

"Stop talking, I've made up my mind!"

After Kou Shizhong finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ren and said, "Go, you go and supervise the execution."

"Yes!"

On Luzhin's swollen face like a pig's head, a happy smile appeared.

Song Bao's face changed several times, and finally he turned and walked out of the camp.

Gong Rui looked at Song Bao's angry back with some worry, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I'm afraid it will make him feel dissatisfied by beheading a group of sergeants from Marquis Song Yu."

"It's okay, I said I'd go back and fill him up with a sergeant, and at worst, I'd just give him a stipend."

"It's so good." Gong Rui sighed, and said: "This time it's really a bad start, the bandit has lost dozens of brothers before he can touch his hair."

"There are not many people? When we go back, we can't catch as many adults as we want? The most important thing now is how to solve the problem of food and grass."

"My lord has something to worry about?"

"Well, tomorrow you take people to the surrounding villages and towns to ask the people to borrow some food."

"it is good!"

Gong Rui said excitedly.

Since you want to go out to 'borrow' food, it's reasonable to borrow some money by the way, borrowing other people's wives and daughters, right?
Anyway, the people are very talkative.

"Try not to kill people, after all, it's not our territory."

Kind Kou Shizhong reminded.

"My lord has a kind heart!" Gong Rui said seriously, he didn't even realize that this sentence was flattering.

Kou Shizhong chuckled, and said again: "Let Lu Ren go to Chen Xiao'er tomorrow to ask for some food and grass."

"Will he give it?" Gong Rui asked in surprise.

"It's good if you give it to us. If you don't give it to us, you have a reason to complain to Mr. Zhang! As a superior, Chen Xiaoer doesn't care whether our military guards live or die. If the suppression of bandits is not good, he can't blame us!"

"My lord is wise!"

Gong Rui said in admiration.

He felt that following such a smart Shangguan, he must have a bright future!
The next day.

Thirty of the twelfth lunar month.

Qingpan Town, Runan County is full of joy.

Tonight, on New Year's Eve, every household has prepared more abundant ingredients than usual, and just wait for the family to sit around the stove at night to watch the New Year's Eve.

There are some small stalls on both sides of the street, some selling peach charms, fried food, and sugar people.
The townspeople seized the last time before the new year, wandered around with their wives and belts, and bought new year's goods.

It's the end of time.

A group of soldiers rushed into the town suddenly, and there was a sudden chaos in the town, with women crying in panic and children screaming in fear.

Violence strikes, joy and peace are crushed and shattered by surprise.

In the afternoon, Shen Shi.

Huaijun camp at the foot of Wufeng Mountain.

"Runan Shanzhi County, Qingpan Town Tian Yuanwai?"

In the big camp, Chen Chu couldn't help being surprised when Mao Dan said that outside the camp, the magistrate of Runan brought a group of sages from the village to reward the army.

Later, after several people entered the big tent, Chen Chu realized that was not the case.

Although the other party sent pigs, sheep, and money, the nervous legs of the few people were trembling, and it seemed that they did not sincerely condolences.

Chen Chu didn't ask a few words, and the field worker suddenly knelt down and said with tears, "My lord, the food, rice and money I took today is to show respect to your lords. I just ask you to let my daughter and the other families go." "

"."

Chen Chudeng's face darkened immediately, and then he thought of a possibility, and hurriedly called the white-haired rat to ask him.

"Gong Rui led people out of the camp at Chenshi, and just returned half an hour ago. He brought back more than ten carts of food, cloth, and a carriage. There were women crying inside."

The white-haired mouse whispered in Chen Chu's ear.

The latter nodded calmly, and looked at the people in Runan. Some of these people lost their daughters, some lost their wives, some dressed like rich family squires, and some looked like they were duty-bound farmer.

Chen Chu felt slightly, in today's world, no matter rich or poor, they are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered when they meet rebel troops.

I even thought that when Cai Wei was captured a few years ago, when Cai Yuan, who had always looked calm and breezy, found the barracks, would he be as helpless and tearful as this field member?

Originally, Chen Chu planned to have Kou Shizhong accidentally die in the battle to suppress the bandits. After all, the opportunity for him to take over as the commander of the left-behind division of Caizhou seemed a little violent.

It would be a loss of reputation if the subordinates were purged shortly after taking office.

But now, just because what happened to Tian Yuanwai's daughter was somewhat similar to that of Cai Wei, he suddenly changed his mind.

"Chen Dutong, please raise your hand high."

Runan Shanzhi County bite the bullet and said, although he can't tell the difference between the Wuwei Army and the Zhenhuai Army, but he knows that if these female relatives spend the night in the camp, it will really be over.

Chen Chu, who was blamed again for no reason, glanced at the magistrate Shan, but before he could speak, Maodan reported again, "Wuwei army ration officer Lu Ren begs to see you."

"Oh?"

After Chen Chu asked Mao Dan to take everyone from Runan to the tent, the slightly nervous Lu Ren stepped into the tent.

Naturally, he was nervous because he received the unfortunate job of begging for food, so his attitude was extremely humble.

When Chen Chu saw this person with a bruised nose and a swollen face, he couldn't help but be amused.

Chen Chu naturally had no time to respond to Lu Ren's request for food, but he was not prepared to make things difficult for him.

He casually found a reason to be perfunctory, and then sent the other party back.

After Lu Ren saluted, he turned around and walked outside the camp. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He couldn't decide whether he wanted the food or not, as long as he had completed the task assigned by his brother-in-law.

I don't want to, but just as I walked to the door of the big tent, I heard a question from behind, "Wait a minute, Luzhin, right? You just said that you hold any position in the military guards?"

"Uh"

Lu Ren had no choice but to stop, turned around and took a peek at the thoughtful Chen Dutong, and replied, "Master Dutong, the young one is serving as a grain officer in the military guards."

"Officer Grain Cao. I remembered."

Chen Chu chuckled, and then said something that made Lu Ren's hair stand on end, "Lu Ren, you were the one who whipped Liu Si a few days ago, right?"

"."

Lu Ren's heart skipped a beat. This Chen Dutong must be too narrow-minded!I just beat you as a soldier, my brother-in-law is Kou Shizhong!

"Dalang, the eldest son, tied him up. Take him back for Siliang. By the way, this bastard loves to slap people on the face. The welt on Siliang's left cheek is very deep. Taoist Wugen said it would leave a scar."

This is tantamount to directly telling Lu Ren that the Zhenhuai army will take revenge.

Lu Ren backed away in fright, how could Da Lang and the eldest son let him escape.

Three times, five divisions and two tied the man and threw him on the ground. Da Lang swung his whip and whipped his head and face.

As soon as the whip went down, there was a bloody whip mark.

In the past, Lu Ren used this trick to others in the Wuwei Army, but this was the first time he had enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Can't help screaming.

After a while, the eyelids were cracked, the lips were broken, the bridge of the nose collapsed, and the fleshy cheeks were rolled.

Da Lang grinned and threw the whip to the eldest son. The eldest son, who just wanted to vent his anger on the fourth brother's behalf, couldn't bear to do it again when he saw Lu Ren's miserable state.

"My sister is like Kou Shizhong, and she persuaded me to go back, to go back."

Luzhin, with his lip cracked, was dying, and his speech was slurred and slurred.

"Of course I want to send you back."

Chen Chu squatted down and asked in a low voice, "Are you convicted?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"The bandits attacked the camp last night. As a ration officer, you let all the rations be destroyed. It is a felony of dereliction of duty. Wouldn't it be wrong to kill you?"

Chen Chu, who was used to convincing others with reasoning, read out the crime to Lu Ren to show that he was not a person who killed indiscriminately.

Only then did Lu Ren understand that the Huai army wanted his own life, and his extreme fear made him generate strength out of thin air, and shouted: "If you dare to spill me, my sister will definitely not let you go!"

"Well, go down and find out the way for your brother-in-law first."

After Chen Chu finished speaking, he stood up and winked at Da Lang.

Da Lang then asked someone to drag Luzhin, who kept screaming, out.

"Find a box to put it in!" Chen Chu in the tent shouted.

Russian hectares.

Da Lang returned, carrying a piece of cloth in his hand, wrapped in a square wooden box a foot and a half long and wide.

Chen Chu raised his eyes to look at the slightly drowsy sky, and said to himself: "It's getting dark soon", then turned his head and said to the eldest son, "Eldest son, order two relatives, follow me to the camp of the military guards."

"Why go to the Wuwei Army?" the eldest son asked in confusion.

Chen Chu laughed, pointed to the box in Da Lang's hand, and said, "Didn't Lu Ren ask us to send him back just now, let's send him back now?"
