Chapter 220: Prisoner
It's still in the same camp, in the same tent, but it has changed owners.
"Subordinate Zhao Junsheng has seen the military master!"
The leather leopard was dancing with a sword, and heard Zhao Junsheng's voice, "Captain Zhao, accompany Ben to go through a few moves!" Before he finished speaking, he stabbed with a sword.
"I'll do it!" Zhao Junsheng's pupils constricted in fright, and he scolded in his heart, and immediately dodged to avoid it.
But the leopard's sword moves followed him like a shadow, so that no matter how Zhao Junsheng dodged, he couldn't get out of his attack range.
This sword move is different from the subtle tricks used by the people in the rivers and lakes when they fight, opening and closing, one move is clean, the momentum is heavy, and the speed is incomparable, and a momentum that has no return is full of it, which makes people feel afraid.
Zhao Junsheng dodged more than a dozen moves in a row, looking extremely embarrassed, and had to draw his knife to block the counterattack, but he retained half of his strength, and the attack moved also slowed down by three percent, which was comparable to the leather leopard.
The two fought more than 30 times in a row, and the leopard slashed with a sword in both hands, Zhao Junsheng grabbed this block, and the whole person was chopped back four steps in quick succession and fell to the ground.
"Oops!" Zhao Junsheng pretended to cry out in pain, limped up and hugged his fist with a knife and said: "The military master's martial arts are strong, his subordinates are not opponents, thank you for the mercy of the military master's subordinates!" ”
Zhao Junsheng knows that young people like to be competitive, especially a person like Pi Leopard, who is in a high position at a young age, how can he tolerate others to be better than him? With such a competition, you can't beat him, let alone let him lose badly, you can only let him win, and it is not so easy for him to win, if he wins cleanly, he will feel that it is not interesting.
"Hahaha······ Zhao Duwei's skills are good, get up, are you injured? The leather leopard immediately stepped forward to help Zhao Junsheng up and asked.
Zhao Junsheng hurriedly put the knife into the sheath and said, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I don't know what the military master sent to call his subordinates over?" ”
The leopard put away his sword, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said, "I heard that the baggage battalion is almost all practicing when there is no escort mission, can the soldiers still eat?" ”
Zhao Junsheng replied: "War master, there is no way, if you can't bear it, you have to force them to practice, although the baggage soldiers can't go to the battlefield, they are also easy to encounter the enemy's surprise attack and rob the grain, how can you resist without training?" It's just that the ration of grain and grass for the baggage battalion in the army is less, and the subordinates can only try their best to get them to eat! ”
The leather leopard was very satisfied with Zhao Junsheng's answer: "Your idea is very good, you look at the baggage soldiers of Woye Town and the Right Guard, they stay in the camp and either sleep or fool around, or they will go to the nearby pastures and villages to harm the people and girls in the nearby pastures and villages!" If there really is an enemy army to raid the grain baggage team, they must run faster than the rabbits! ”
Speaking of this, the leather leopard thought for a moment and said: "There is only so much ration of food and grass for each army from the military quartermaster's side, and the general has nothing extra for you." Hmm······ In this case, Ben will allocate a part of the military expenses and rewards, and give you a hundred taels every month, and you go to the market to buy some grain to subsidize the food for the soldiers in the baggage battalion, and try to keep them full, if it is not enough, then you can only find a way for yourself! ”
This guy is funny! However······ It is not ruled out that this is his means of buying people's hearts, let's keep an eye on it, don't be sold again and help the people count the money, Zhao Junsheng muttered in his heart, and hugged his fist at the leopard: "My subordinates thank the military master for the brothers of the baggage camp!" ”
The leopard waved his hand, picked up a booklet from the table and handed it to Zhao Junsheng: "Yesterday, the quartermaster Dugu Yu came to report, saying that there is not much food and other materials in the army, it seems that you have to take the brothers of the baggage battalion to Shanwu County!" Now that it is summer, the weather is getting hotter, mosquitoes and flies are increasing, and the soldiers are also sick. ”
Zhao Junsheng took the booklet and opened it and looked at it, which listed a number of medicines, straw sandals, clogs, mung beans, gauze, knife wound medicine, and summer military uniforms.
Zhao Junsheng closed the booklet and said to the leopard: "Military master, some of the materials on this may not be rationed in the military storehouse, and they need to be purchased in the market!" If it is purchased in large quantities, the price should be one or two percent less than the market price, but it is also necessary to use money, cloth, silk and silk, and people are willing to supply."
The leather leopard dropped his handkerchief, crossed his waist with one hand, and walked up to Zhao Junsheng with the hilt of the sword in the other, and said, "You all know what you said, but ······ There is no money in the army now, and the general is not rich, but the items listed above are all urgently needed in the army, and there is no delay, I have heard people say, you have a lot of ideas, your mind is flexible, you want to find a way to solve this matter, if you have any requirements, just mention, as long as the general can call the shots, all are not a problem! ”
Yes, if you don't agree to this sentence, you can't do it! Zhao Junsheng said a word in his heart, he thought about it, walked to the desk and took out a piece of official paper and shook it in front of the leopard, "Military master, as long as you stamp the big seal on this piece of paper, your subordinates promise to get you the shoes and materials urgently needed within ten days, and the lack of money will also be wrapped up in your subordinates!" ”
The leopard looked at Zhao Junsheng motionlessly, and after a long time, he took down the official paper from Zhao Junsheng's hand, walked to the desk and picked up the big seal and poked it hard, turned around and walked to Zhao Junsheng and handed it over.
Zhao Junsheng took the briefcase in a daze, "That······ Don't you ask me what I'm doing with this stamped piece of paper? ”
"Hehe, I want to see how you can get this batch of urgently needed items in the army with this piece of official paper that is just a big seal! Besides, didn't Lao Cao say that there is no doubt about employing people! The leopard smiled.
Zhao Junsheng was surprised: "Old Cao? Who is it? ”
The leopard was stunned: "Cao Cao, you don't know?" ”
"You said he, his subordinates knew, but ······ Is that what he said? Zhao Junsheng grabbed his cheeks and muttered.
"Uh······ It should be, right? The leather leopard was also a little uncertain by Zhao Junsheng's suspicious expression.
As soon as Zhao Junsheng walked out of the camp, he immediately walked to the bookshelf next to him and flipped through it, and finally turned out a roll of bamboo slips, looked for it on it, and when he found the source of this sentence, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he rubbed his face and scolded: "It's a shame now!" ”
There was a burning feeling on his face, the leather leopard let out a long breath, he suddenly remembered something again, and immediately walked out of the camp and shouted: "Zhao Junsheng, you wait!" ”
Zhao Junsheng, who had already walked thirty or forty meters, had to turn around and come back, clenching his fists and asking, "What else does the military master command?" ”
"Although we have regained Shengle City for a few months, and the Rouran people have also retreated to the north of Yinshan, you should not be careless when you go, and be more vigilant!"
"Understood, rest assured, military master!"
“······ There's one more thing Ben thinks you should know! The leather leopard hesitated as he spoke, but still said it: "General Wandu Gui was imprisoned after arriving in Pingcheng to see His Majesty, and is currently locked up in a prison under the jurisdiction of the Sandu Governor, and will be tried by the Outer Capital Sitting Magistrate Tuoba Su!" ”
Zhao Junsheng knew that the Northern Wei court also had ministers in charge of judicial prisons, which was a system that only existed in the early Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was a legacy system that inherited the Xianbei tribal system.
There were three ministers in charge of criminal prisons and civil justice in the Northern Wei Dynasty, namely the internal capital officials, the central capital officials and the outer capital officials, collectively known as the three capital officials.
The inner capital sat down as a senior official to mediate the contradictions, disputes, and prison matters between the ten emperors of the fraternal clans; Zhongdu sat down as a big official to act during the period of Emperor Shenyuan (Tuoba Liwei) attached to the surnames; Outside the capital, the big officials are in charge of the eastern, southern, western, and northern four surnames.
"How so?" Zhao Junsheng's face was shocked, he had a bad premonition in his heart, something must have happened, Wandu was born as the emperor's guard, the emperor should have a lot of trust in him, how could he easily order him to be imprisoned?
The leopard took two steps to the side: "I don't know, after I received the news, I sent someone to find my former colleagues to inquire, but I didn't get any relevant and useful news, no one knows what General Wan said to His Majesty that day, and no one knows what happened."
After speaking, the leopard glanced at Zhao Junsheng and reassured him: "You don't have to worry, even the general can't get in touch with the news of this matter, and it won't help you worry!" For the time being, you can go to escort the grain and grass materials and solve our urgent needs, and I will continue to send people to keep an eye on this matter, and I will tell you as soon as there is news! ”
Zhao Junsheng hugged his fists: "Thank you, military master!" ”
Coming out of the tooth tent, Zhao Junsheng's expression was a little trance, when Wandugui left that day, he thought that Wandugui would be promoted after seeing the emperor, but he didn't expect that something would happen in just ten days, what happened, so that the emperor put Wandugui, a cronie general, in prison?
"Brother Junsheng!" Mulan's voice came from the side not far away.
Zhao Junsheng struck a spirit, stood still and turned around.
When Mulan saw him coming out of the tooth tent and he came from the direction of the tooth tent, she asked, "Do you know about General Wan?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Junsheng nodded and looked at Mulan, "You know too?" Why didn't you tell me? ”
"I also heard from the Pi Army Master in the afternoon, and I was about to look for you just now, when I saw you coming out from the direction of the tooth tent! By the way, I heard from General Pi that Shelun, who was captured by us, was canonized by the emperor as General Long Xiang and Marquis of Beihai, and gave him a spacious mansion in Pingcheng! ”
The fact that the cronies will be sent to prison, while the captives are made to pay homage to the generals, this cannot but be said to be a strong irony!
Zhao Junsheng was quite emotional in his heart, raised his hand and pointed outside the camp: "Let's go outside!" ”
The two of them left the camp and walked in the dark night of the wilderness, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky and starlight falling.
"Has the leopard made things difficult for you these days? Are there any personnel changes in the military? ”
Hua Mulan took Zhao Junsheng's hand and shook it, "No, I obey the military order, don't contradict it, lead the team to practice wholeheartedly, and try my best to complete the tasks assigned by the Pi military master, why does he embarrass me?" So far, General Pi has not removed or transferred any officials and generals! ”
Zhao Junsheng stopped: "Before, I was still wary that he might exclude dissidents, after all, he was in a high position at a young age, and those generals who had quite meritorious military achievements may be arrogant, but I am afraid that his attitude towards him will not be too respectful, and now it seems that his temperament is quite calm, if he does not hold a grudge and does not settle accounts after the autumn in the future, this person is not bad, it is worth deep friendship, let's take a look at it for the time being!" By the way, I received the escort task of grain and grass materials, and I am afraid that I will go to Shanwu County again tomorrow, do you need me to bring it to you? ”
