Zheng Peng also ignored Ashinaxian's reaction, returned to the camp in person, gathered all the people in the escort team, and asked them to lend him the money he was carrying with him first.

Hearing Zheng Peng say that he wanted to use the money, the people in the escort team didn't say a word, and took out the money and lent it to Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng asked people to write down everyone's money, and then return the money to them later.

With the addition of his own three hundred taels of gold, he raised more than 15,000 taels at once.

"It's unexpected." Zheng Peng looked at the large amount of money and said with some surprise.

On the battlefield, no one knows if they can see the sun the next day, in addition to the basic living needs, the soldiers will send the rest of the money home, bring too much money on their bodies, maybe one day it will be cheaper for others, and now they can raise so much cash, which is surprising.

Guo Ziyi explained: "It's not surprising that everyone shared a large sum of money in the ambush battle in Khotan Town, and it stands to reason that the money was sent back to their hometown, but the duty of the escort team is to protect your safety, and you don't have to go to the battlefield in person, and the security is greatly improved, so they take the money with them, have a suitable opportunity, and can also do some business or something." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Ziyi said with some admiration: "As soon as the third brother opened his mouth, the brothers who thought about making a fortune took out the money one after another, indicating that the third brother has taken the entire escort team into account, which is really gratifying." ”

The tiger head team of the tiger camp has always been unruly, Zheng Peng can subdue them in a short time, in addition to being generous, its personality charm is also indispensable, and the battle of Hukou Valley is an important part of Zheng Peng's prestige.

Follow Zheng Peng, eat and sleep well, have a good future, can make meritorious service and make a lot of money, and is not afraid that Zheng Peng will drink the blood of soldiers and be greedy for credit.

Kuro said thoughtfully: "Not to mention anything else, at this moment, the third brother can pay to deal with the enemy's bounty order, this alone is admirable." ”

"The two brothers don't wear a top hat for me, but I can't get used to the arrogance of Alida, and no one says that I am satisfied with fame." Zheng Peng said modestly.

Guo Ziyi said with a sneer: "Which one said that he would let him try it with tens of thousands of yuan?" ”

"That's it," Kuro chimed in, "if I hear them say such things, I'll reward him to his face." ”

"Thank you two brothers, as for the two brothers' money, I will return it as soon as possible."

Kuro lowered his face and said: "What else to pay back, that 1,500 guan is just a little bit of my care, I will donate more later, and if I mention the money again, I will not recognize me as a brother." ”

"Mine too." Guo Ziyi said lightly.

The two followed Zheng Peng and made a lot of money, how could they care about this little money?

Zheng Peng said with some emotion: "Good brother, in the future, the three of us will share blessings and difficulties." ”

"Share the blessings and share the difficulties." Guo Ziyi and Kuro said in unison.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Ashina Xian was a little skeptical of Zheng Peng's words, and when Zheng Peng came in again, he brought more than a dozen heavy boxes.

In front of everyone, Zheng Peng opened the boxes one by one.

When the box was opened, the people present felt that their eyes lit up, and the entire tent of the Chinese army was filled with a layer of yellow light: money, all money, the small box contained a gold ingot, and then large and small gold beans, broken gold nuggets, to say the least, there were as many as seven or eight hundred taels, and the rest were all copper coins that had been consistently running through the yellow tongtong, and gold and copper coins were put together, which made people look particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Here are seven hundred and fifty taels of gold, plus seven thousand five hundred yuan, which is the first bounty of the bounty order, and the chief manager will count it." Zheng Peng said with a smile.

As mentioned earlier, there were only 3,000 in the early stage, but now 15,000 have been prepared, which seems more sincere.

Ashina was stunned for a moment, and quickly laughed and said, "Can't you still believe Zheng Jianjun?" Someone, here is 16,000 guan, carry it down and store it, bring the four treasures of the study, and give Zheng Jianjun a receipt. ”

Dare to say that Zheng Peng, who bears 60,000 yuan alone, must disdain to do anything in quantity, and Ashina has eyesight, and he has almost this number in visual inspection, so he is simply generous, and he also seems to have his own strength.

Zheng Peng corrected: "The chief manager heard it wrong, there are only 15,000 guan here, not 16,000 guan. ”

"That's right" Ashina said with a serious face: "A certain is also a thousand, which can be regarded as a small heart, Zheng Jianjun, you are not too little, right?" ”

"No, no, it's rare for the chief manager to have such a heart, how can he dislike it." Zheng Peng said immediately.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

"The chief manager and Zheng Jianjun are so righteous, I can't compare to the arrogance of the two, so donate a hundred yuan."

"This is a good thing, I will also donate a hundred times."

"I'll donate thirty."

"If it's not too little, I'll donate ten."

Under the influence of Zheng Peng and Ashinaxian, the people present donated generously, especially those middle-level officers who were the most active and contributed to the bounty order.

By the way, I brush up on the boss, too.

Zheng Peng waved his hand again and again: "Stop, pause, let me say a few words first." ”

After everyone calmed down, Zheng Peng said loudly: "I have received the hearts of the soldiers, you killed the enemy on the battlefield, did hard work, and earned sweat money, so this money should not be paid by you, so I do not accept donations from people with military status, including the 1,000 yuan of the general manager." ”

Ashina Xian frowned and said, "What's the matter, Zheng Jianjun looks down on people? Do you want to be beautiful? ”

"No, no" Zheng Peng hurriedly denied: "The money of the chief manager, take it to the soldiers to improve their morale, not only the chief manager does not accept it, but my subordinates also said that they want to donate, but they all refused." ”

When Guo Ziyi and Ku Luo heard this, not only did they not say a word of disgust, but their eyes were a little more moved: Zheng Peng accepted the money from the two of them, just treating himself as a brother.

After a pause, Zheng Peng immediately said: "I am confident that this reserve fund is absolutely no less, and the excess part will be used to improve the lives of the soldiers, rewards, pensions, and so on." ”

"Understood, Zheng Jianjun, I apologize to you for my previous rudeness." Ashina Xian suddenly said respectfully.

Being able to have such a mind and feelings made Ashina Xian, who had experienced the coldness of the world, very moved, and in addition to being moved, Ashina was ashamed of his previous thoughts and behaviors, and admitted his mistakes to Zheng Peng very frankly.

In fact, getting along all the way, Ashina Xian is cold on the surface, and has a good impression of Zheng Peng in his heart, and the most important point is that as a prison army, Zheng Peng never interferes with his actions, and he does not know how to pretend to command chaotically.

Zheng Peng immediately picked up Ashina Xian and said: "What's the matter, like I'm just a small music official, I have no experience in the army, and my qualifications are not enough, Your Majesty sent me here just to let me see more, listen more and talk less, and have a long experience, it's good that the chief manager doesn't think I'm cumbersome, to be honest, if I am in the position of the chief manager, I will think about how to drive away the other party." ”

"Where, our military generals are different from civilian officials, civilian officials talk about seniority, and our military generals only look at ability and military merits, Zheng Jianjun first arrived in the Western Regions, there is only one escort team under his command, and he has made great achievements in Khotan Town, and he has made miraculous achievements, this battle alone is enough to prove your strength, Zheng Jianjun should not be too modest." Ashina said with a serious face.

After reading the battle report of Zheng Peng's night attack on the secret transport team of Tubo on the border between Khotan Town and Tubo, Ashina Xian's evaluation of this battle was "perfect", and his impression of Zheng Peng improved, which is also one of the reasons why Zheng Peng was safe and sound when he went to Tingzhou to supervise the army.

Military generals are not so particular, and whoever has the ability and is enough to win the battle is worthy of respect.

In the final analysis, the soldiers of the entire Western Regions should be grateful to Zheng Peng, the reason is very simple, if the batch of iron is successfully transported back to Tibet, the military strength of Tibet will be longer, and it will definitely be bad news for the soldiers of the Western Regions.

Guo Ziyi said with a smile: "I think the chief manager and Zheng Jianjun don't have to be humble anymore, just cooperate sincerely in the future." ”

"That's for sure." Ashina said categorically.

Zheng Peng also smiled and said: "It is my honor to be able to learn from behind the chief manager. ”

Ashina Xian said happily: "It's rare to be so happy, let someone prepare a table and have a few drinks with Zheng Jianjun, I don't know if Zheng Jianjun will be rewarded?" ”

"It's an honor to be invited by the chief manager, and I won't be polite." Zheng Peng said with a smile.

"Then I wasn't polite to Zheng Jianjun, what did you get last time... By the way, teppanyaki seems to be very delicious, Zheng Jianjun can't hide his secrets, don't you know, he swallowed a lot of saliva behind his back. ”

The military general is refreshing, and he does things very simply, and after the two eliminated the estrangement, Ashina Xian also became unwelcome.

Of course, Ashina is not just for Zheng Peng's money, in fact, he also wants to have a good relationship with the prison army sent by His Majesty, which is conducive to his career, and now he is just going down the steps.

"How can it, don't worry, I will definitely make the chief manager have a good time tonight." Zheng Peng said generously.
