167 Capturing the Camp
The old army hurriedly gave thanks. Although there were many wars in the north for years and all things were getting rich, it was only half enough to hold on to death with a winter clothes, let alone the 200-ton pig and sheep money. Huo Yanwei accepted his bow. After he stepped down, he recruited two soldiers from Xuzhou, whispered a few words, and asked him to go to the camp with the old army to worship him.
Niu Cun visited the camp and returned to his tent. It was already the first time that a rhythmic sound of golden slaughter came from the quiet night sky, which meant that the situation in the camp was normal. He let out a long breath, and the cold air poured into his chest, making him feel that his whole body was inspiring.
"Damn, help someone to remove the armor, you're so tired!" Niu Cun shouted loudly. He felt that he was exhausted all over. Although he had not used force, his spirit was extremely tense this day, for fear that Huo Yanwei's Taoer on the opposite side would be caught, as if he had fought with the Wu army outside for more than a dozen rounds in the daytime. The personal soldiers on the side hurried up to help him untie the armor, and smiled and said, "The military master handled it properly today, and even Mr. Huo personally came here. If the general in Shaanxi City knew about it, he would definitely be rewarded. I guess the military master would have to move again!"
Niu Cun's armor had been removed. He sighed and said, "I don't expect any relocation reward. I just want to pass this hurdle peacefully. I am thankful. To be honest, after seeing the armor and weapons over there today, I felt cold. Even if I could defend this place, at least half of the brothers here would lose their lives. I hope that the people above will let Huo Gong go there, and the people above will settle the above. Just let us those below live a safe life!"
The personal soldier said, "What the military leader said is that everyone is old robes, so it would be better not to fight!"
Niu Cun nodded silently. After eating some casually, he fell on the couch and fell asleep. He slept quite sweetly. He knew that the next day, he woke up slowly. Niu Cun was a very diligent in governing the army. On weekdays, he got up to patrol the camp just at dawn. I guess he was too tired yesterday, and even a strong man like Niu Cun could not stand it.
Niu Cun just sat up, but heard a quarrel outside, as if someone was quarreling loudly. He hurriedly got up, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He rushed out of the tent with his sword and shouted loudly: "That quarrel is in the camp noisy, is itchy?"
I saw that there were crowds of people outside the tent, afraid that there would be sixty or seventy people, all soldiers in the camp. They all looked angry. Two of them were saying something loudly. Seeing Niu Cun coming out, they were intimidated by his accumulation of power. They took two steps back unconsciously, but the anger on their faces could not be concealed.
Niu Cun knew that he would be suppressed by the leader as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a disaster. He pretended to be calm and shouted loudly: "Liu Da, Han Si, you two dared to gather together to cause trouble. Don't you know that this is the crime of beheading? Why don't you disperse me quickly? I will spare your death penalty this time!"
The two men looked at each other, and the shorter one stepped forward and said strongly: "Military Master, we are not gathering people to cause trouble. But since April, the brothers have not seen half a cent of salary. They have not paid any salary for seven months. Not to mention salary, they don't even have any money for pickles. The brothers can only eat light food. We can still force them to survive these, but they don't even have clothes, and many brothers only have a single piece of clothing." The man raised his right foot, pointed to the big hole in the sole of his foot, and said: "Military Master, please look. A family doesn't even have pairs of shoes. I can't stand this cold winter. I also asked the military commander to send clothes to let the brothers have clothes to cover the cold!" At this point, the man bowed down, and the soldiers behind him also bowed and said in unison: "I'll ask the military commander to send clothes to cover the cold, so that we can have clothes to cover the cold!"
It turned out that at that time, the only soldiers in the army in the world could pay their wages on time. It was a common thing to owe a salary of three to five months. As long as the soldiers could fill their stomachs, it would be good. But like this, there were indeed few people who could not even pay for pickles and summer and winter clothes. After all, without salt, the soldiers would be weak in all limbs and no winter clothes, and people would be frostbite. After the Battle of Xiangcheng, He Chang was appointed as the chief general of Guanxi by Zhu Youzhen. The soldiers in Guanzhong also participated in the battle of Xiangcheng, and suffered heavy losses. In order to rebuild the army, He Chang exploited the local area very hard and took out the salt from the Hedong Salt Pond and Yi Ci to exchange horses, which made the salt prices in Guanzhong soar. Even the soldiers under his command could not eat salt and could not change the winter clothes. Niu Cun, the group guarding the North Road
The treatment of the miscellaneous army was even more unbearable. Because the North Road of Wushan was too desolate, there were barren mountains and ridges around him, and he had no choice but to rob him. The soldiers under him lived a few points better than beggars. But at this critical moment, he suddenly started to make money, and someone behind him must have incited him. Thinking of this, Niu Cun couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and he stepped forward and shouted: "You haven't seen money for seven months, and I haven't seen money for seven months. You eat light food, and I also eat light food. You have a big hole under your feet, and your clothes are full of patches. You ask me for money, but I don't. If you don't believe me, you cut off my head with one knife, and only blood is flowing out, not half a big son!" Speaking of this, Niu Cun pulled out his sword and inserted it in front of Han Si.
He looks like a bachelor who lets the other party take care of it.
If everyone saw Niu Cun like this on weekdays, they would disperse. After all, as long as the suffering and happiness are equal, people can survive. But this time it is different from usual. Han Si looked back at his companion and said in a deep voice: "Military Master, I know you did not take the money for bad intentions. If the boss didn't give you, you can't pay for salt and winter clothes for everyone. But if someone is willing to pay for this money, it depends on whether you let everyone take it!"
Niu Cun was stunned when he heard this. Before he could come back to his senses, he saw a man coming out from behind Han Si, sang a fat promise to Niu Cun, and said with a smile: "My husband said that as long as you are proud of yourself, the salary for these seven months, the salary for pickles, and the winter clothes are all on him, and all the good copper coins are used. If someone is willing to serve under his husband, the salary for three months will be paid first, and the salary for two months will be double! "
As soon as the man finished speaking, the onlookers immediately exclaimed a burst of surprise and discussion. It turned out that due to deflation and lack of copper coins in the Tang and Song dynasties, the general copper coins were not actually a thousand copper coins. It was generally agreed that only eight hundred coins could be regarded as a common coin. Zumo said that this coin was a real one thousand coins, which was equivalent to a quarter of the extra salary. These soldiers did not expect that the salary would be obtained, but they were just pickled and vegetables and winter clothes. Now after hearing this good news, they would not be amazed and happy.
Niu Cun had already recognized that the person who spoke was Huo Yanwei's subordinate who had worshipped back and forth. He had already fully understood what was going on. He couldn't help but feel angry and hatred, and said anxiously: "I'm so bold, I dare to deceive the morale of the army. Take this guy down for me!"
Although Niu Cun's voice was loud, the onlookers only thought that they had not heard it. Several personal soldiers were about to step forward, but were stopped by the onlookers. They all looked back at Niu Cun's face. Seeing this, Niu Cun's eyes turned dark and almost fainted on the spot.
The man was not upset when he heard Niu Cun wanted to take him down and said with a smile: "This Grand Marshal wants to take down a certain family, but the salary will be gone. As the saying goes, eating grain and serving as a soldier, the generals here can't even send money for pickles and clothes. What's the taste of this soldier?"
When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other and said in unison: "Forget it, we surrounded Niu Cun in a word. Niu Cunyan saw that if he dared to disobey, he would immediately become the lieutenant of these rioters, so he had to shout: "Forget it, forgot, I will fulfill your wishes!"
After a while, the village had already changed its owner. According to the prior promise, as soon as the Wu army entered the village, Huo Yanwei distributed all the military pay, pickled vegetables and elegances he owed. The guards held the yellow-collar Zumo Tongbao and laughed at them all. The Wu army general Zuo took the opportunity to disperse these hundreds of people and incorporated them into his team. Huo Yanwei's command doubled all of a sudden, with enough combat soldiers who had previously been entrusted.
In the military tent, Huo Yanwei sat in the middle, standing with his companions standing on both sides, squeezing the ordinary-sized military tent. Niu Cun sat in the corner with a look of remorse on his face. His identity was very awkward at this time. If his life was not for the man's hand, he would have just found a place to hide and feel frustrated.
"Master Niu Army!" Huo Yanwei smiled and pointed to a wooden plate beside him: "These are yours!"
Niu Cun stood up and saw more than twenty silver tins on the wooden plate, emitting an attractive light. He swallowed with difficulty and whispered: "I will not receive any reward without merit. A villain cannot afford such a grand reward for such a husband."
"These are not rewards for you!" Huo Yanwei smiled and said, "That is the money paid for your life. I will lead the troops to Shaanxi City later. On the way, you will tell the news from there one by one. Also, the soldiers in the camp are still your commander, of course, all the ten generals must be mine!"
Niu Cun raised his head in surprise. The camp was broken. It was an exception for him to resist the stubbornness of his head and not be cut off. He was even given a heavy responsibility. Does Huo Yanwei think that he could buy him with just over twenty yuan of silver, so he was not afraid of using tricks to get him into a trap? No matter how he thinks Huo Yanwei is not such a stupid guy, right?
"Master of Niu Camp!" Huo Yanwei seemed to see what Niu Cun was thinking, and smiled and said, "This time I came not only for the sake of his own fame and wealth, but also for the well-being of the Liang army brothers. Although General Manager He is brave, he is enemies from all sides. How can he reorganize the country? Only select the strong and follow him. Da Wu is his best choice. I came this time to prevent Liang Jun's old robes from turning against each other and blew up the blood. If you can fight this battle, you won't fight. If you help me see General Manager He one day earlier, your brothers will shed less meaningless blood for a day!" At this point, Huo Yanwei stood up, bowed deeply to Niu Cun, and said in a deep voice: "I'll ask for help here!"
