Wu Shigong thought to himself with some wonder: How did this Ming army bandit camp become a vegetable market? So he looked over from a distance and saw that it was Li Lu and a military attache wearing a general's robe arguing, so he asked Zhao Ming, "Who is that person?" ”

"Oh, it's Nanyang General Sun Wei. In the past few days, General Sun has been at odds with Li's guerrilla. Zhao Ming replied.

"What's going on?" Wu Shigong's interest came up.

"It's just that Nanyang Mansion is too small! There are two war barracks in a small house. If Li Guerrilla eats more, then General Sun will eat less, and the two of them will be so unpleasant. ”

Wu Shigong laughed when he thought about it. The number of troops in Henan was only more than 20,000, and Nanyang Prefecture was located at the intersection of several provinces, so it set up a staff general and set a quota of 4,500 heavy troops to garrison it.

But later, as soon as Wei Zhongxian intervened, Li Lu's garrison entered, and in addition to the garrisons of the two counties, he also divided the number of 1,200 troops of General Sun Shen. General Sun Shen has already suffered a dumb loss.

But this is not over, after the extermination of the Holy Spirit will cause chaos among the people and make meritorious contributions, Li Lu increased the number of troops by 600 people. After this great victory in Ruzhou, Li Lu was promoted to guerrilla and wanted to establish a guerrilla battalion with a force of 3,000 soldiers.

This is fun, if Li Lu's troops are transferred from General Sun Shen, then there are 3,000 guerrillas stationed in the two counties in Nanyang Mansion, and there are only 1,500 generals nominally stationed in the entire territory of Nanyang Mansion, no wonder Sun Ginseng will be mad!

And Li Lu was also obviously aware of Wu Shigong's arrival, and his waist was much straighter, so after a few more quarrels, Li Lu turned his head and left, and broke up with Sun Shenjiang.

Seeing Li Lu coming over with his own soldiers, Wu Shigong said with a smile: "Li Guerrilla is so majestic!" The lower official is here to salute you! After finishing speaking, Wu Shigong pretended to salute Li Lu.

Li Lu immediately smiled and stopped Wu Shigong's movements. laughed and scolded: "Brother-in-law! Don't you know how my guerrilla came about? Don't chill me! Then Li Lu smiled and greeted Zhou Xun, who saluted the old commander.

Of course, Wu Shigong no longer pretended to Li Lu, and he asked, "How many people did you bring this time?" ”

"Scrape together five hundred." Li Lu has nothing to hide from Wu Shigong, "But I also spent a lot of money this time!" I have all equipped them with horses, and I also bought a batch of armor and weapons from that Yang Goudan you have here. But I said brother-in-law, that Yang dog is too much of a jerk! The price is so ruthless, do you want to squeeze my brother and me out? ”

Wu Shigong rolled his eyes at Li Lu: "It's good if you're willing to sell it to you!" To tell the truth, no matter how much money you take to the armory warehouse in the north and south capitals to buy armor and weapons, can you buy such haode armor and weapons? Is the price so cheap? You know, our own armor and weapons are insufficient, and Yang Goudan gave you these are all notes that I approved. Don't be dissatisfied! ”

"Alright! All right! Li Lu smiled and raised his hand in surrender, "I understand, you and Yang Goudan are both profiteers." Anyway, this is also zuihou.,In the future, if there is any war here, it's up to you to do it.。 Who asked me to marry my sister to you? ”

Wu Shigong laughed all of a sudden, thinking that Li Lu didn't support his chin when he spoke. If his father-in-law Xue Lian heard this, he would immediately give Li Lu a big mouth. However, Wu Shigong also knew that Li Lu was joking. So one refers to Li Lu and Zhao Ming. Quipped of: "Look at both of you, both are a virtue." When I heard that I had to hide behind me in battle, I was still the hero of the great victory in Ruzhou. ”

"Those who can work hard! Those who can work harder! Zhao Ming also joked on the side. The three of them just laughed and chatted.

Then, the guerrilla Chen Zhongzhi and the garrison Jiang Cheng, who had quelled the Denglai Rebellion with Wu Shigong, also came over, and after they had a friendship with each other, they discussed the issue of watching and helping each other.

Chen Zhongzhi brought 1,100 people this time. Jiang Cheng brought more than 600 people, and they were in a very subordinate position in the entire army of bandits, so it was a matter of course to unite with Wu Shigong.

That night, Wu Shigong was in front of the lights out again. Visited some military attachés like Cao Wenzhao who had met during the battle to recover the four cities of Yongping. After that, Wu Shigong rested early, waiting for the whole army meeting of Governor Chen Qiyu tomorrow.

At the beginning of the military meeting the next day, everything was normal in the previous procedure. Anyway, Chen Qiyu made a nonsense opening remark. Anyway, Wu Shigong, the capital division, has become a small role in the military attache of the entire Chinese military tent, so he is happy to hide in the corner and play soy sauce.

But Wu Shigong didn't realize it: he was making soy sauce, and Governor Chen Qiyu swept Wu Shigong's soy sauce bottle several times. Chen Qiyu also wondered a little in his heart, could it be that this five big and three coarse, absent-minded Du Si in the Chinese military tent, also had such a haode military vision?

And the military discussion has finally reached the point. One of Governor Chen Qiyu's aides began to explain in detail Chen Qiyu's strategy of suppressing bandits in front of a map hanging in the tent of the Chinese army.

At this point, everything was still normal. After the staff member finished explaining, it was time for the military to discuss. There is nothing else, nothing more than a discussion about where the Ming army will be stationed? He Zhiming's army pursued and suppressed the bandits.

In fact, there is no problem with this task assignment. Guest troops such as Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu basically pursued and suppressed bandits, while the local Ming troops in Henan were basically stationed locally. The reason why Chen Qiyu asked the military attaches to discuss it was nothing more than to let them express their determination, and then Chen Qiyu was about to assign tasks.

But what was surprising was that before the discussion was over, Governor Chen Qiyu suddenly asked: "Li Guji, Commander Zhao, and Wu Dusi, the three of you are a strong army that has won a great victory in Ruzhou!" This time the Governor will have to rely on you! ”

And Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan, who was sitting on the side, pondered for a while, then stroked his beard and said: "Since Governor Chen is so optimistic about the three, then the three should be ready!" Remember! Cherish the people! ”

If you attack and suppress the bandits this time, the local officers and soldiers in Henan will have to send out some of them, and those military attachés with backgrounds Xuan Mo don't want to offend, so the marginal military attaches such as Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng were originally scheduled to go out. But since the governor Chen Qiyu took a fancy to the troops of Wu Shigong and the others, then Xuan Mo also pushed the boat down the river. Of course, due to Li Bingbeidao's impeachment recital, Wu Shigong and the other three troops had a bad reputation in the Ming Dynasty court and the local government in Henan, so Xuan Mo also asked them to pay attention to it.

It's really a person who is afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong! However, Zhao Ming's name as the gossip king is indeed well-deserved, and in yesterday's chat, Zhao Ming had already told Wu Shigong the news he had inquired about from Chen Qiyu's cronies, so the three of them were also mentally prepared for the expedition.

But at this time, the behavior of Wu Shigong and the three of them was a little weird. Just now, Chen Qiyu called these three people according to the official rank of the Ming Dynasty. And now, too, should be answered in the order of salutation.

And Li Lu and Zhao Ming are you look at me, I look at you, just don't keep quiet. On the contrary, Wu Shigong opened his mouth first: "Respect the order!" ”

And this behavior that does not conform to the rules of officialdom made Chen Qiyu stunned. But he didn't pay much attention, seeing that it was Wu Shigong who spoke, Chen Qiyu was also in the middle of it.

So Chen Qiyu then asked, "How many soldiers did each of your three come this time?" ”

Li Lu and Zhao Ming still didn't speak. What are the three parts? In addition to the pro-soldiers, there is only one part of the Runing Army, how can Li Lu and Zhao Ming answer?

But as soon as Wu Shigong heard it, he knew that Governor Chen Qiyu was picking on a thorn, because this was completely knowingly asking. When he entered the camp yesterday, the Runing Army led by Wu Shigong had already been counted by the quartermaster about the number of people who entered the camp, and how could Chen Qiyu, as the commander, not know about it?

But Wu Shigong thought about it carefully, and he didn't know where he offended Chen Qiyu. Today is the first meeting between Wu Shigong and Chen Qiyu. In the past, one was in Henan and the other was in Shaanxi, and the two of them were also in the situation that the well water did not interfere with the river water. But what did you do wrong?

Puzzled, Wu Shigong could only reply with extra caution: "Tell the Governor." A total of 1,000 regular soldiers and 1,000 auxiliary soldiers arrived in our three divisions. ”

Seeing that it was Wu Shigong who came forward to answer, Chen Qiyu took a look at the words, and suddenly he suddenly realized that these three departments were listening to the orders of the capital division in front of him!

Chen Qiyu was a little angry in his heart. As a literati-born governor, Chen Qiyu also attaches great importance to the number of upper and lower courtesies. Although he also knew that Wu Shigong's three ministries were an alliance, but in today's Zhongjun account discussion, he had to at least do some superficial work in front of himself, the governor-general? And the capital in front of him is too ignorant.

So Chen Qiyu scolded sharply: "Li's guerrilla battalion is rated at 3,000 people, Wu Dusi's Runing battalion is rated at 2,200 people, and Gui Dewei also has more than 5,000 military households." The Governor also understands that you have left some soldiers to garrison the locality, but this time you should pay 5,000 troops. And now that you have only 1,500 regular soldiers, where is this taking the governor's order into account? ”

At this time, Li Lu and Zhao Ming were not afraid of boiling water anyway, they were still silent, looking at Wu Shigong's actions.

And according to the rules, as soon as the governor gets angry, the reprimanded military attache should also kneel down and plead guilty. But Wu Shigong's temper also came up. There are too many military attaches in the military tent who are empty and short of soldiers, so why should the governor in front of him keep an eye on him?

So Wu Shigong didn't kneel down at all, and replied stiffly: "Our three ministries have been short of food and clothing, and the military salary has not been paid for several years. Originally, many soldiers fled. After the Battle of Ruzhou, there were a large number of casualties, and there were even more shortages, and there was no pension to recruit new soldiers. When he came to Shaanzhou this time, he still had the cheekiness to borrow some food from the Guan prefect temporarily, otherwise, even these people would not be able to come. ”

And Wu Shigong's words suddenly made Li Bingbeidao, who was listening, jump. (To be continued......)
