Chapter 178? Where to go

Li Yuan reported that because of the heavy snow, the scout's war horses were frequently damaged, and more than 200 of the 800 horses were sick, so Li Yuan strongly suggested that the reconnaissance be temporarily suspended during this period. Although the war horses are beasts,

But they are still living beings, and the machine still needs maintenance, not to mention the delicate war horse. Zhang Xiaowu immediately agreed and asked for the full maintenance of the war horse.

Zhang Xiaowu, Li Yuan and others went out of the city to inspect a certain distance, and found that the snow in some places was actually as deep as two people, and even the shallowest part was as deep as the knees. In this weather, let alone the army of dog barbarians, even the animals were covered in snow.

No more holes.

Without the threat from the north and the south, the 10,000 defenders were a bit bloated. Zhang Xiaowu decided to reduce the number to 8,000. He eliminated the injured, war-weary, incorrigible, and those with distracting thoughts in each battalion, and gave them all gifts to return home.

make.

The 2,000 people who were eliminated and the 2,000 wounded soldiers who were laid off previously, a total of more than 4,000 people, can leave Mucheng and return to the Central Plains at any time after receiving the return order. Although the heavy snow has closed the door and it is temporarily impossible to return to the Central Plains, the veterans of Mucheng finally waited.

When the order came to return home, everyone cried with joy. According to the previous principle, each dismissed soldier received eighty kilograms of food.

As for money, there is not a word about it.

No money, no military pay!

How can Zhang Xiaowu have the money to pay everyone? He can only manage enough food, and there is no way to get money. It has been more than two months since the Mucheng garrison was established, and the imperial court has not allocated a hair. Previously, because there was an army of aliens watching eagerly, later

The White Tiger Army is uncertain, and the atmosphere in the city is tense. The soldiers

For the time being, we don't have to worry about the payment of military pay. But things are different now. The alien army cannot go south, the White Tiger Army has returned to the Central Plains, and there are more people in the city and even many prostitutes have opened. We can't keep giving them food. How can anyone carry it?

Take a bag of grain to a restaurant or visit a brothel.

It is only natural for soldiers to pay for their lives in war. Without money, why should everyone fight so hard?

Zhang Xiaowu didn't think there was anything wrong with being a soldier and getting paid. When he was on Earth, he came into contact with the fire brigade because of the library's renovation work. He knew that they were the soldiers with the largest casualties in peacetime. He also knew that many firefighters had many veterans inside and outside.

Hurt, people exchange their lives for money, but the wages are not as good as some

Sitting in an office drinking tea and reading newspapers is half the cost. Even after working as a firefighter for ten years, the salary is not as good as that of some retired people. Some media like to label firefighters when they talk about them, such as their devotion to love and the cutest people.

Then it is just spiritual praise. Praise without bonus is just a hooligan!

Just like the nurses in white who save lives and heal the wounded in special times deserve subsidies, others are working hard. As their leader, any words of touching, dedication, and love for you are all fucking farts. He feels that the most shameless ones are those who promote the greatness of others.

The media and leaders who force others to give up receiving subsidies, when others talk about money, they talk about dedication, when others talk about dedication, they talk about responsibility, when others talk about responsibility, they talk about ideals, and when it is their turn, they only talk about money.

"Money, money, money!" Zhang Xiaowu had another headache. He hurriedly called a few confidants and told everyone about Mucheng's plight of lack of money and asked them to come up with ideas.

Hu Sanwan only knows how to sell grain, but Mucheng is short of money now, not grain. As for Xiao Kai, Zu Gongmao, Hu Li, Shen Lindong and others, they are all masters who only know how to kill with a knife. When it comes to money, they all

When it comes to how to make money, everyone's eyes are like mosquito coils, and their brains are mushy.

"Sir, this military salary has to be distributed by the court. It's okay for a few of us to kill people with knives, but it's really not okay when it comes to making money." Hu Li just likes to tell the truth. Although it doesn't sound good, it is the truth. Everyone present counts it.

, thrown to Longdu City, and can only work hard at the dock.

Although Shen Lindong usually doesn't like Hu Li's unscrupulous speech, he now has to admit that Hu Li's words are correct. There are several people here who can make money - but they can all spend money.

Zu Gongmao stroked his beard and said: "Does the court recognize us or not? We just guard Mucheng like this stupidly and don't pay the soldiers. What's going on with us?"

Hu Li added: "I will work hard for the emperor, but the emperor must give me some ideas. The emperor still needs hungry soldiers? By the way, I don't know if he is here yet."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Kai reminded.

Hu Liman didn't care enough to smile.

Everyone kept complaining, and then they heard the news that Ruan Qingwen and Ruan Sima were back. Zhang Xiaowu drove away the useless subordinates who only stared at mosquito-repellent incense and went out to greet Ruan Sima.

I haven't seen him in nearly a month. Ruan Sima seems to have aged ten years. His wrinkled clothes are even stained with mud. If he were squatting in the corner with a broken bowl, walking stick and straw hat, he could make people pity him and ask for some food.

"Master Ruan, don't come here...you're fine." Zhang Xiaowu looked at the dirty Ruan Qingwen and Ruan Sima up and down, and said awkwardly.

Ruan Qingwen let out a long sigh, not because he didn't bother to answer, but because he didn't know how to answer.

It turned out that after he arrived at the White Tiger Army, he was detained inexplicably. Although he had food and drink every day, he could not move or leave. Five days later, the White Tiger Army encountered a snowstorm when they camped out and had to temporarily stop.

It's five days.

Five days later, the entire White Tiger Army rushed to the front line. Ruan Qingwen was extremely excited. However, one day later, Du Shanbo suddenly led the White Tiger Army into Lianglang Pass. Ruan Qingwen begged to meet Du Shanbo, but was blocked and never had the opportunity.

Meet the handsome man.

Ruan Qingwen was extremely anxious. What did the White Tiger Army mean? Why didn't they save the Qinglong Army? Why did they enter the Lianglang Pass? Just when he asked around and couldn't get the answer, the White Tiger Army left the Lianglang Pass and galloped towards the Central Plains.

Ruan Qingwen was determined to die. He stopped in front of the White Tiger Army and cursed. He thought he would be beheaded by Du Shanbo, but unexpectedly a young general invited him to the tent and showed him the imperial edict, saying that His Majesty was critically ill and ordered Du Shanbo to return to the capital immediately.

, and Du Shanbo had already

After returning to the capital with a battalion of cavalry, Ruan Qingwen had nothing to say. He then asked where the prince was. The young general did not hide anything and sent someone to send Ruan Sima to the prince, which shocked Ruan Qingwen.

What's surprising is that the prince actually went crazy.

The prince is crazy, and the princelings are over. Ruan Qingwen feels that his life is gray. The emperor is critically ill, and the prince is crazy. The most likely successor in the capital is the fifth prince Xuanyuan Zixiao, and Xuanyuan Zixiao is Zuo Prime Minister Zhang

Kuan's grandson, the leader of the Zhang Party and the mortal enemy of the princelings.

Ruan Qingwen didn't know when he left the temple, nor did he know how many days he had been in a daze. Maybe one day some naughty kids threw stones at him, and finally they woke up Ruan Qingwen. Ruan Qingwen looked for a place and found a place.

Seeing that the tree was high enough to hang someone, he untied his belt and prepared to hang himself. However, in a restaurant not far away, he heard a storyteller talking about his self-edited "The Legend of Saibei Heroes".

When he heard the word Saibei, he walked over.

The storyteller patted Xingmu and said: "As a guest officer, our Lianglang Pass is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with outstanding people and places. There is the Saibei Wasteland to the north and the rich Central Plains to the south. It can be said to be the place where the spiritual energy of the world gathers. However, above the Saibei Wasteland, there is

A heroic act is being staged, and many heroes show their true colors in this battle.

It can be seen from the list that there is a great hero of our Han people in the north of the Great Wall. He is brave and good at fighting and has won many victories. His loyalty to the country can be seen from the sun and the moon. He has a tiger's forehead, a tiger's beard, broad shoulders, a round waist, and is unusually majestic. He has a golden helmet on his head and wears golden armor.

Wearing a white robe, with a black dragon horse on his crotch, and holding a thunderous saber.

, strangled the Eagle Li Gaotu of the Eastern Tartar Tower to death with his bare hands, smashed the Three King Kongs of the Prairie to death with three punches, led three hundred cavalry to destroy the forty-eight sand bandits in the north of the Great Wall, and killed the adopted son of Wuhuan Khan and the first warrior of Wuhuan, Yegu Chashi.

, this person is none other than the Mucheng garrison, the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu..."

Ruan Qingwen was suddenly shocked. Who said he had nowhere to go? This wooden city was the place to go.
