Song Zhen made a desperate bet, except for the necessary soldiers and horses in the city, gathered all the rest of the horses, a total of two commands and 1,000 people, and handed them over to Su Jin's hands for deployment.

Song Zhen understood that this was not the time for Mingzhe to protect himself, Su Jin did not deceive them in the matter of food, and no one could have predicted the changes that would arise, at this time, he would spare no effort to help Su Jin take back the food, and helping Su Jin was helping himself.

Fortunately, the garrison of Yangzhou Mansion is a local box army, and the box army is actually a labor soldier, which is very different from the treatment of the forbidden army, and the number is not large, so there is no need to alarm too many joints in the transfer procedure.

In Tianchang, as soon as Su Jin and the two hundred horse army of the guard division and the one hundred soldiers led by Wei Dutou met, Su Jin straightforwardly showdown with Zhao Dutou and Fang Dutou, telling them that Long Zhen had been taken into prison for dereliction of duty and awaiting trial.

Zhao and Fang were shocked, they didn't expect Su Jin to be so bold, Long Zhen went to report the news with a low profile, and everyone also guessed that he was only scolded at most, and he would still be safe and sound, but they didn't expect that Su Jin would be questioned by Su Jin in a face, and the two of them couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts.

Su Jintie said with a blushing face: "You are willing to make meritorious contributions with me, this envoy will give you this opportunity, if you are unwilling, I will not force it, but all of you can't get out of it, and you have to be punished with escape." ”

Zhao Dutou protested: "How can we escape from the battle if we are invincible?" ”

Su Jin sneered: "Is it a battle against the enemy, you yourself understand, the bandits are poorly equipped, and they are all rabble, according to the danger, maybe you are not an opponent, but they are not opponents head-on, your sword is bloodless, and there is no sword cut on the armor except for dust and mud, am I blind?" ”

Fang Dutou said loudly: "Left and right is a punishment, I might as well tell you directly, we are indeed not afraid of bandits, but we can't do anything for you, you even deducted half of your brothers' salaries, so black-hearted and black-livered, do you still expect us to work for you?" ”

Su Jin frowned and said, "What nonsense? When did the envoy withhold your money? ”

Zhao Dutou said: "Don't pretend, the original three-month salary is three times, but we only get the same five hundred, you are greedy for half of it all of a sudden, and you still say that it is not black?" ”

All the horse armies echoed their words, and there was some uncleanness in their words.

Su Jin frowned and pondered, and suddenly understood the crux of the problem, Su Jin took out a booklet from his arms and threw it to Zhao Dutou and said, "See for yourself, how much money Long Zhen received from me, I'm afraid these words are what Long Zhen told you." ”

Zhao and Fang opened the account book suspiciously, only to see that what was registered on it was the amount of money received by the bank, and the money received from the household department under the third division was the same per person per month, and three months were combined, but the item of expenditure was spent with four times per person, and there were signatures and handprints of Long Zhen when he received it.

Zhao Dutou asked suspiciously, "What's going on?" How is it that the dragon commander received more money than you received in the household department, and everyone has the same? ”

Su Jin said lightly: "That day, I went to the household department to receive the salary, and I felt that your salary was really not high, but this is the regulation of the imperial court, and I don't want to tell anything; However, since you are following me out on an errand, I naturally can't treat you badly, so I paid out of my own pocket to add consistency to each of you, and you should have received four big money per capita, but I don't know how much Long Zhen gave you. ”

"Straight lady thief, how can there be four runs, only get a consistent five, and suddenly there are two less fives." The soldiers shouted and quarreled.

Fang Dutou shouted: "Shut the damn thing, you also believe what he said?" ”

Su Jin looked at Fang Dutou and shook his head and said, "You are stupider than a pig, the first time you were ordered by the emperor to run an errand, would you be stupid enough to offend everyone for your hundreds of dollars?" This account book is clearly signed with the name of Long Zhen, and the handprint is pressed, can't you guess the catty in it? ”

Zhao Dutou said: "Are you saying that the money was deducted from the middle by Commander Long, and then blamed you?" ”

Su Jin said: "I don't want to believe this, but I'm afraid that's the case, as far as I know, there is an unwritten rule in your forbidden army, and the soldier's salary is to take out two to three percent of the filial piety to the commander, that day Long Zhen did propose that I deduct a part of the salary, but I didn't agree, for me, a layman, doesn't understand your rules Isn't it a good thing?" What is the purpose of Long Zhen reminding me to do this? If I don't deduct the money, you can get more, if I am really not reminded others to deduct his brother's salary, I can only say that he has ulterior motives in doing so. ”

Zhao Dutou said: "Commander Long is not such a person, on weekdays, we call brothers and sisters in Beijing very politely, and his reputation among my guards Sima Jun is not bad, he is a well-known talker, how could he do this?" ”

Su Jin said: "You are all sent out by the Guards Department to run errands, and you have not always been Long Zhen's subordinates, how can you be sure what kind of person he is?" Can you see people's hearts just from the surface, if you have such ability, you don't need to be a little head here; In a word, you know the face but don't know the heart, what you see is often completely different from the truth, think about it, you have been deceived by him and made a big mistake, and you are still here to speak for him. ”

Everyone was silent, although Su Jin's words could not be fully believed, but it was by no means unreasonable, they really didn't understand Long Zhen, and Long Zhen's signature and handprint in the account book should not be fake, if the envoy played any tricks in this, it was not impossible, but it was useless to forge these with a lot of effort, and it was a common thing to withhold money in the army, and no general would come out to support him, because it would damage their vested interests.

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "I can't afford to talk to you anymore, if you really think that I will be greedy for your mere three hundred yuan, you will look down on me too much, although I Su Jin is not a billionaire family, but I don't care about hundreds of thousands of dollars; I might as well tell you that the 500,000 stone grain in Luzhou was sold to the imperial court by my Su family at a low price, otherwise how could the emperor appoint me to this errand, and you can calculate how much 500,000 stone grain is. ”

Everyone took a breath of cold air, 500,000 stone grain is the property of the envoy, roughly calculated how it is worth nearly a million yuan, how could such a rich person do such a fly camp dog thing, most likely Long Zhen is a hindrance.

"Finally, I would like to ask again, if you are willing to wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, you will not blame the past, and follow me to Bagong Mountain to snatch the grain back; If you don't want to, you will do business, and if you ask for the guilt, you will never be in vain; As for the silver that you have withheld, the envoy will dig it up from Long Zhen's body and give it to you; In addition, as long as the grain is recaptured, one of you will be counted as one, not only will the guilt be wiped out, but also the salary of each person will be doubled, and those who follow me Su Jin will never be treated badly to him. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and many people were already moved, but the pride of being a forbidden army made them ashamed to be the first to speak.

Su Jin was impatient and shouted loudly: "Commander Pan and Wei Dutou listened to the order, and immediately took down the guards Sima Jun and others and escorted them to Yangzhou for supervision and trial." ”

Pan Jiang, Wei Du and others have already seen that these people are not pleasing to the eye, these people are forbidden troops, and their salaries are two hundred more than their own van army, and they have nothing to do every day, but they have no ability, and the envoy is really good-tempered, and he actually talked nonsense with them, and when he heard Su Jin's order, he shouted and led people to rush up and disarm.

Zhao and Fang were no longer willing to be reckless, and after exchanging glances, they all knelt down and said, "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the adults, and I will never give up." ”

Su Jin scolded: "You have to toast and don't eat and drink, but don't worry, I guarantee that you won't lose a single hair." ”

Su Jin wrote two letters on the spot, sent two squads of the horse army to Luzhou and Shouzhou to deliver letters, and urged the two places to send troops to meet at the foot of Bagong Mountain as the imperial envoy of Qin, and at the same time ordered a brigade of 1,300 people to rush to the bandits' nest in Bagong Mountain.

Pan Jiang was a little puzzled and said, "Your Excellency, are you trying to encircle and suppress bandits?" ”

Su Jin said with a straight face: "These guys are too arrogant, they actually broke ground on my head, if the food can't be recovered, my head will be considered to be moving, whether you can use force at every turn, it depends on the situation." ”

Pan Jiang said: "Bagong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make contributions if I wait for thousands of people and horses." ”

Su Jin frowned and glared: "If it's difficult to attack, it's also going to be attacked, isn't it hard to stare at it?" ”

Pan Jiang ate a nail, and knew that the envoy was in a bad mood, so he closed his mouth in amusement and stopped talking.
