Liu Futong laughed when he heard this: "Hahahaha, of course I'm in charge. Besides, I still have a monthly salary of five taels of silver."
Da Kui was dumbfounded when he heard this, and lost his voice: "My mother, come and give me five taels of silver every month?" This is more than what one person in the family spends on food and drink for a year. Da Kui didn't know that in Hongjin,
In the army, ordinary generals only receive dozens of pots of grain as payment in addition to three meals a day, which can only be converted into a few strings of money. These are just Liu Futong's tactics to win over.
Dakui thought about it and thought it would be good to wait here for Brother Tang to get some money. He said: "Well, I will be the general in the army. But first, bring me my money bag. I am hungry now."
Okay, let’s go out to eat first.”
Liu Futong winked at Wang Lang. Wang Lang turned around and grabbed the two money bags on the public case and said: "Of these two money bags, one contains thirty taels of silver ingots and three strings of money. The other contains one hundred and sixty taels of silver ingots. Now we divide them."
There are a lot of articles, please read them, General Zhang." Wang Lang was smart and immediately changed his mind.
Liu Fu said: "Today there are many offenses against the strong men. Why don't you let Mr. Wang serve as a host and treat the strong men to dinner?"
Dakui said: "That's not necessary. Where is my pole? Give me my pole."
Wang Lang immediately ordered someone to fetch Dakui's fine iron pole and said with a smile on his face: "General Zhang might as well move this stone lion back." Dakui said: "You beat me, you can find someone to move this lion back.
." Wang Lang's face turned green for a moment...
Dakui asked the jailer and found out where Guduye was buried, a mass grave in the west of the city. The graves here were surrounded by lush grass, and it looked desolate, but where could he find Guduye?
Da Kui brought a jar of wine. This jar of wine was bought by Da Kui at a restaurant for eight cents of silver. Da Kui faced the mass grave, slowly poured the jar of wine on the ground, and said in his mouth: "I heard it before
The gentleman from our village said that it is rare for a person to have friends in his life. I, Zhang Dakui, remember how good brother Gu was to me. I would like to pay you a respectful tribute to you. Brother, please rest in peace in his grave." There was true feeling in his words, but more of helplessness.
...
The military camp is located at Yandangpo Village, three miles east of Bozhou City. After a few days of training, Da Kui was idle in the Red Scarf Military Camp. Every morning when he got up early, Da Kui still boxed. Then he walked around,
Because Da Kui had a big appetite, the kitchen in the military camp was a place Da Kui often visited.
It is said to be the kitchen, but it is just a few tents and a few old soldiers guarding a dozen large pots. Although it is a simple meal every day, Dakui is used to eating hard since he was a child and does not mind. As soon as it is time to eat, Dakui takes off his armor and arrives.
The chef helped a few veterans with their work.
He said it was to help, and stealing to fill his stomach was the right thing to do. Over time, he became familiar with a few veteran soldiers. From time to time, Dakui would go to the wild to hunt hares, pheasants, etc. and come back. He would braise or stew them in the military camp stove.
The scent wafted out, attracting groups of greedy generals and soldiers. Dakui did not distinguish between soldiers, generals, and generals, and they all called him brothers, but he also got to know many generals and soldiers who led the troops.
On this day, Da Kui was walking in the camp. A school captain whom he had met in the past came to Da Kui. This man's surname was Jia, the third eldest son in the family, and everyone in the army called him Jia San. This Jia San was a kind man, brave in battle, and only had one hobby.
He just likes to gamble. He was given money and food every month and lost everything in a matter of seconds when he went to town.
"Hey, Brother Dakui! You said I'm so easy to find." Jia San shouted as he was far away.
Dakui waited for Jia San to come closer and asked in confusion: "I wonder what Brother Jia wants to do with me?"
Jia San said: "Money is tight lately, brother Dakui, can you lend me some money to make a living?"
Dakui asked: "How much do you borrow?"
Jia San said: "The more nature, the better."
Dakui wondered: "I don't have much money, so let's do this. I'll lend you ten taels, but you must promise to pay me back within the next few days."
Jia San said hurriedly: "That's natural, that's natural."
Dakui took out his purse, turned around and took out ten taels of silver. He stuffed the purse into his arms and then turned around and said, "Brother Jia, you have to save some money on these ten taels of silver."
Jia San took the money and said with a smile on his face: "Don't talk too much about this. If you have the money, I will return it to my brother." After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Half a month later, Dakui went to Jia San's camp to ask Jia San for money. Jia San hesitated and only said he would pay it back in a few days. While the two were arguing, a rapid sound of a gong came to mind.
Jia San was surprised and said: "Quick, there is military information! Go out and gather."
Da Kui followed Jia San out of the camp, and saw the messenger soldiers hurriedly beating gongs and shouting: "The officers and men of the Chinese army will gather at the south square of the camp, and the generals and generals will go to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters." Upon hearing this, Dakui hurriedly ran back.
He hurriedly put on his battle armor and a waist knife in his tent. He went out and headed straight for the Chinese army's tent.
Looking at the big tent from a distance, there were no less than a hundred generals at all levels in the tent lined up on both sides. Liu Futong, neatly dressed, stood facing the tent door from a distance. As soon as Dakui entered the door, he immediately looked at Liu Futong.
When Liu Futong saw that Da Kui was late, he asked, "Why is General Zhang so late?"
Dakui hurriedly explained: "I went back to put on my armor, so I was late."
Hearing this, Liu Futong shouted angrily: "Our Red Scarf Army is now unstable and may encounter war at any time. I have already given the command. The officers and soldiers of the army must never leave their armor, their blades, their hands, and their horses' saddles every day. Today you violate my orders."
, How can I tolerate you?" After saying this, he shouted sharply: "Where is the knife and axe-hand? Pull him down and kill him." There was a promise from outside the door, and two soldiers came in and wanted to pull Dakui away.
The soldiers on both sides cupped their hands and said, "Marshal, calm down."
One of the generals came out and said: "General Zhang has just come to the headquarters. He doesn't know the military regulations yet, so I hope the marshal will show mercy beyond the law." All the generals also begged for mercy: "I hope the marshal will show mercy beyond the law."
Dakui felt that he had been away from hell and back again, and thought that these brothers usually had nothing in vain. In the past, it was pheasants and hares that entertained you. Next time I will get you a wild boar to try.
Unexpectedly, Liu Futong said again: "Since the generals are begging for mercy, I will spare your life. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. Come on, take him out and beat the forty big boards again." The two soldiers picked up Dakui and turned around and left.
.
Not long after, there was a sound of boards outside the tent: "Crack, click, click." Dakui gritted his teeth and resisted without making a sound.
When the soldiers took Dakui back to the tent, Dakui's buttocks were already bruised and bruised. Liu Futong asked Dakui: "Do you know your mistake?"
Dakui said: "I know I was wrong."
Liu Futong asked again: "Do you regret joining the army?"
Dakui gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Tang said, it doesn't matter if you cut a thousand swords to bring suffering to the people. I have no regrets." All the generals in the tent couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up.
Liu Futong asked happily: "Can you still participate in the discussion?" Da Kui stood up with all his strength and broke away from the support of the soldiers. He moved step by step to the side to stand in line with the other generals. He turned around and waited solemnly. The road was already stained with blood.
.
When Liu Futong saw that all the generals had gathered, he said loudly: "Now Yuanting has deceived me, and the red scarf has not yet stabilized its foothold. It has sent Badulu as a general with an army of 200,000 to capture Bozhou. At present, its vanguard force of 50,000 has left.
Our Bozhou is less than 200 miles away." The generals in the tent couldn't help but talk about it. Since the Red Scarf Army occupied Bozhou, heroes from all over the world have come to join them. But even if the total strength of the New Army is included, it is less than 100,000, and the armaments are insufficient. This
What should I do next?
Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of the generals, Liu Futong smiled slightly and said: "Generals, please be calm and don't be impatient." He turned around and said: "The enemy's forward officer is Helan Balu, the tiger-tooth general of the Yuanting Military Department. This man is highly skilled in martial arts and is especially good at riding.
He shoots, but his character is violent and courageous." Liu Futong immediately shouted: "Generals, listen to the order." All the generals in the tent agreed.
