Chapter 85 Mutiny
Ganzhou
General Guo Guo led more than 10,000 people and galloped towards the capital. Among them, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Jiusi were all in the army together.
The three of them gathered together.
"More than a month into the march, the military pay promised by the imperial court has not yet been seen. Many people in our department have criticized this," Zhang Xianzhong said.
The three of them now hold the position of general manager and have dozens of subordinates. The three of them took advantage of this break to get together.
Liu Jiusi said: "Now in order to march, my subordinates have sacrificed several people. The morale of the army is weakened. I really don't know how long I can hold on."
The two looked at Li Zicheng. Because Li Zicheng had been in the military camp longer than the two of them, they admired Li Zicheng quite a lot. When the three of them were whispering, a sergeant appeared next to them.
The three of them recognized that this man was the messenger from the Kingdom of General Shen, so the three of them stood up and asked politely: "General, do you want me to wait for you?"
The messenger nodded and led the three of them towards the simple barracks set up by the army.
The three people entered the barracks and saw the direct subordinates of the Digital Kingdom. The Kingdom saw the three people coming and said: "Do it!"
Then he began to say: "You must know that the imperial court is in danger now. We are going to rescue it, but there are quite a lot of complaints in the army. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Everyone was whispering, but Li Zicheng stood up and said: "General, the soldiers are working hard now, but the most serious thing is that the army has been in arrears with pay for more than three months, and the morale of the army is low. If the soldiers' pay can be replenished, the army will be able to regain its strength.
Fighting spirit".
Wang Guo's face froze and he said with embarrassment: "What Mr. Li said is reasonable and well-founded, but now that the imperial court has too much time to take care of itself, how can it allocate military pay? I think it's better for you brothers to be patient for a while. After all, we are all deeply blessed by the Holy Spirit.
I will repay your Majesty with my whole life."
"If you want to deceive the military, I hope you will not act emotionally. After all, military law is ruthless!"
The three of them looked at each other and knew that the kingdom was trying to beat everyone, because many people in the forced march and unpaid army were already dissatisfied, so he could only use the power of the world to suppress others and hope that his subordinates would restrain themselves.
Sergeant, please don't cause trouble.
Just when everyone thought it was over, the kingdom shouted to the outside world: "Bring it in!"
I saw the kingdom's guards carrying three large boxes from the outside. When they opened the boxes, light and shadow flashed inside. Everyone looked at the silver in the boxes with greedy expressions.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang Guo secretly rejoiced and said: "I personally raised 30,000 taels of silver, please share it. Remember, if something happens to one of his subordinates, he will pay back ten times as much as he ate!"
Everyone in the kingdom's grace and power knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please be patient!"
The three of them each took two hundred taels of silver, their faces full of joy, and then got into the military tent on the side. The three of them looked at the silver with solemn faces, and the words "Ministry of Households, Ministry of War" were engraved on it.
"This is obviously brothers' military salary, but now he has been corrupted by him alone. He also wants to drag me into trouble. Is this the work of a general who leads troops in a war?"
Zhang Xianzhong said with an expression of displeasure.
"Be careful!" Liu Jiusi quietly opened the door and looked at nothing unusual outside before returning to his seat.
The two looked at Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said: "Now that we are in decline, don't let the news leak for the time being. As for the money, let's divide it among the brothers!"
The two nodded and turned to leave.
But not long after, Zhang Xianzhong quietly sneaked into Li Zicheng's military tent and handed a letter to him.
"King Chuang has now settled in Nanzhili, we should hurry up," Zhang Xianzhong said.
Li Zicheng glanced at the letter and immediately burned it on the candle.
"We still need Liu Jiusi's cooperation. Don't forget that he is that right-hand man!"
Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to convince him. After all, I saved his life."
"The main thing is this army. If we take this army away, our power will definitely increase greatly. After all, this is the border army that has been at the border for a long time. If there is enough food and salary, we will hold it in our hands.
There is also room for return."
"Rates!" The two men's eyes suddenly fell on the money behind them. They looked at the standard on it and said in unison: "Isn't this just the wages!"
"I'm afraid the one named Liu won't leave with us!" Zhang Xianzhong said worriedly.
"You and I are our own masters, and he will definitely not go with us. We just have to be careful about him secretly cultivating power. If he takes the team away, we will be in big trouble," Li Zicheng said.
"Since it can't be delayed, you and I will take action in the future. I will gather the brothers. As long as the man surnamed Wang is restrained, we can force him to inquire about the whereabouts of the military pay, and then it will be a big deal."
While the two were discussing, Liu Jiusi returned to the military tent and suddenly noticed something was wrong, and said in a deep voice into the darkness: "Who?"
"Mr. Liu, I'm wary," a figure walked out of the darkness.
Liu Jiusi looked at the person with a bitter look on his face. This person was very skilled in martial arts, and he guessed it just by feeling that something was wrong. If this person attacked him, he would probably die.
"Who are you?"
"I am here to assist Mr. Liu as ordered by my master," the figure bowed and said.
Liu Jiusi gradually calmed down in surprise and said: "In that case, go and do something for me!"
Liu Jiusi took out the silver and said: "Go to the place where the kingdom is to find the hiding place of this kind of silver."
The figure stared at the silver for a moment, nodded, and then disappeared into the darkness.
next morning
Liu Jiusi gathered his subordinates together. Looking at the bustling crowd, Liu Jiusi took out the silver and said, "Brothers are suffering. This is the military salary I asked for for the brothers. You can take it and divide it. As for the rest,
The money left behind will be reserved for the benefit of the deceased brothers.”
Everyone looked at Yinzi with smiles on their faces.
Liu Jiusi took out a caliper and distributed money to everyone bit by bit. At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were doing the same thing.
Despite the three people's repeated warnings, there is no airtight wall in the world, and the matter of the three people dividing the money still spread to the kingdom's ears.
"I can't be tempted when it comes to money. I have such a capable person under my command!" Wang Guo praised him, but his face was gloomy and his eyes had begun to show murderous intent.
"Gather the officers, I'm going to give you a banquet, and no one will be absent!"
"yes!"
When the three of them received the news, their hands had already touched the handle of the knife. Everyone could see that this was clearly a Hongmen Banquet.
The three of them gathered together to discuss for a while and walked out of the military tent together.
A bonfire was lit throughout the camp. The soldiers who were keeping watch outside heard the laughter and the rising bonfire, and their resentment reached the extreme, but they could only stay outside the camp.
"Brother, this is the boss we sent here to warm you up." The guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw two figures carrying a jar of wine and a piece of roasted, sizzling meat.
"This is against the rules," the guard said, but his eyes never left the food and wine. The man who delivered the wine put his arm around the guard's shoulders and said, "You and I are both brothers, so I'll take care of you for a while. How about that?"
When the two guards heard this, they immediately nodded and said, "Thank you brother for that."
The two of them walked towards the woods nearby with wine and meat in hand.
In the camp, everyone's faces were filled with smiles, and everyone was changing cups. Suddenly Wang Guo stood up and said: "Today, I want to reward three generals. General Li, General Zhang, and General Liu."
, I admire the three of you for sacrificing yourself for others. In order to stabilize the army and distribute the money obtained to the subordinates, we must have a drink."
The three of them looked at Wang Guo, who was holding a wine glass, walking towards him, and said with smiles on their faces: "It is the responsibility of the subordinates to praise you."
When the three of them were ten feet away from the kingdom, a bow and arrow pierced the military tent and shot straight towards the kingdom, grazing his arm and flying past.
"There's an assassin!"
Everyone sobered up immediately and shouted.
At this time, someone began to ask: "Three commanders, what do you mean? Do you want to mutiny?"
The three of them looked at each other and knew that this was a cruel trick of the kingdom. However, what the kingdom did not expect was that the three of them stood up and said: "Sir, we are helpless to deduct the military pay. If you can make up for the military pay of all the troops,
The three of them are at your mercy!"
"You are really mutinous, come here!"
The kingdom is full of confidence. Although the reaction of the three people is beyond its expectations, they personally admitted the mutiny, and they are even more confident. They have already posted sergeants outside, waiting for their orders to capture the three people.
But suddenly there was the sound of fighting outside.
