    After a long silence, Wang Shaohua sighed and said: "Brother Chen has never been in the north. I don't know that killing and surrender is common in the army. It is difficult for anyone who surrenders to survive for more than three days."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Boosts the enemy's fighting spirit. They are all going to die anyway, so it is better to fight to the end in blood.  When people have no way out, they will take brave actions that they would not do when they have a way to survive.  No wonder the Turks have been defeated repeatedly by the Tang army over the years, but they have always persisted and survived defeats. The reason is that they can share the same hatred of the enemy.

    Chen Wanrong was secretly shocked. He never thought that the Tang Dynasty army, which was famous throughout the ages, also had such a dark side.  There were too many problems in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and this was just one of them.  These problems can only be eliminated after Li Longji ascends the throne, allowing the Tang Dynasty to return to the right track of prosperity.

    "Killing and surrendering is considered a good thing." Wang Shaohua's next words surprised Chen Wanrong even more. He only heard him say: "Both generals and soldiers want to risk their military merits, so killing and surrendering is naturally not a problem. What is even more intolerable is that,  They also killed innocent people indiscriminately and used their heads to lead the military merits. However, the court turned a blind eye and imposed rewards and punishments indiscriminately, which is nothing more than adding fuel to the fire and encouraging the army to take merits. "

    Officials in the imperial court can be bought with money. The number of "inclined officials" eliminated after Li Longji ascended the throne has reached an astonishing number of ten thousand. It is not surprising that the army takes credit.

    During the Zhongzong period of the Tang Dynasty, spending money to buy officials was the most popular. Princess Anle sold and awarded officials based on her own likes and dislikes.  These improperly obtained officials were known as "inclined officials" in history.

    At that time, the Tang Dynasty had already shown the trend of decline, and it was difficult to regain the prosperity of the Tang Taizong period.  If it hadn't been for the "Kaiyuan Age" not long after, the glory of the Tang Dynasty would not have been so dazzling.  The knowledgeable people at that time were very sad. Wang Shaohua was one of them.

    The system has become corrupt, and it is wishful thinking to defeat the Turks just by relying on enthusiasm.  Chen Zairong has been clamoring all day long to go north and fight against the Turks. It can only be said that he is passionate.  I think Wang Shaohua was just as passionate as him back then, and even more fortunately, he successfully went to the battlefield. Looking back on this past event, I feel helpless.

    Chen Zairong did not go to Chengbei, maybe he was lucky.

    Just when Chen Wanrong changed his mind, Wang Shaohua clenched his right hand into a fist, clenched it loudly, and said angrily: "The most hateful thing is that those generals don't care about the soldiers at all, and they don't take their lives as their own.  . They clamor to fight the Turks every year, and they speak impassionedly, but they just want to get rewards from the court and want to be promoted. Regardless of victory or defeat, they will always say victory, a small victory is a big victory, and a big victory is a huge victory.  "

    The trend is like this and it is impossible to change it.  When Chen Wanrong was about to comfort him, Wang Shaohua almost shouted: "There was once a general who cut off the heads of dead soldiers as military merit."

    It is conceivable to kill prisoners, kill innocent people, and risk military merit. It is unimaginable to use the heads of your own soldiers to risk the army. Rabbits don't eat grass from their nests, let alone such things. Chen Wanrong's head is buzzing.  Buzzing sound.  If Wang Shaohua hadn't said it with certainty, he would definitely not believe it.

    "There are such heartless people in the world!" Chen Wanrong, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but curse: "They are really worse than pigs and dogs!"

    Wang Shaohua nodded in agreement: "Yes! He also said shamelessly that even if he dies, he is dead, so why not do something more for him! No matter how much a soldier wants to take credit, he will not use his brother's head to ask for credit.  The crowd was so angry that I couldn't bear it anymore, so I rushed up and gave him a knife and chopped off his head."

    "Good kill!" Chen Wanrong praised him out loud.

    Wang Shaohua smiled bitterly and said: "It's good, but I can no longer gain a foothold in the Anbei Protector's Mansion, so I have to choose to leave. If my brothers hadn't protected me at that time, I would have been plotted against me long ago."

    "A person who dares to be so presumptuous must have a backing up. It would be unreasonable not to cause trouble for him."  Chen Wanrong admired his actions from the bottom of his heart and said: "Brother Wang, there is no need to sigh. My talents will be useful because I was born, so why do I have to be in the army?"

    "Thank you, Brother Chen, for your comfort. I still want to go back to the north to kill the enemy. Even if I die in the desert, it is better than wasting my time in Chang'an like this." Wang Shaohua couldn't help but shake his head, feeling very angry.

    There are countless people as passionate as him who want to fight against the Turks. Chen Wanrong doesn't know how to comfort him.

    "I've met Mr. Wang, I've met Brother Wanrong!" While Chen Wanrong was thinking about words of comfort, a deep voice sounded.

    Chen Wanrong turned around and saw Shen Que standing in front of him, looking at Chen Wanrong and asking: "Brother Wanrong, what treasure are you tinkering with?"

    Who can make such a strange jar and do such strange things besides Chen Wanrong?  Chen Wanrong stood up hurriedly: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for making something small."Come here, give Chen Wanrong a fist and say: "I've met Shopkeeper Chen! Shopkeeper Chen, you are back! Now it's better, now it's better!"

    Yan Lai was greatly reassured. Chen Wanrong became even more curious and asked: "Let's talk in the room. Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

    "Are you not in a hurry? This is something the Ministry of War wants. Can we afford it?" Feng Shicai replied breathlessly.

    Entering the room, Chen Wanrong asked him to sit down, poured him a bowl of tea, and asked: "Why does the Ministry of War want soap? Is it because the emperor is showing favor and wants the soldiers to be clean and go to war?" Really?  Unexpectedly, Chen Wanrong simply joked that he had any connection with the Ministry of War.

    Feng Shicai stomped his feet on the ground and scolded: "Shopkeeper Chen, what time is it, and you are still in the mood to joke. The Ministry of War does not want soap, but alcohol. We are limited to delivery within five days, and it costs three thousand kilograms!"  After saying one sentence, he drank tea fiercely. After drinking, he put the tea cup down, picked up the teapot and poured tea himself: "I came all the way from Chang'an in one breath, and I'm exhausted!" He drank it all in one breath.

    It can be seen that he is so tired because he is in a hurry.  Naturally, what the Ministry of War wanted could not be delayed. He did not prepare anything. He made three thousand kilograms of alcohol in five days. Chen Wanrong was really embarrassed. He asked confusedly: "How did the Ministry of War know that I had alcohol?"

    Alcohol has only been launched for a few days and is still in the trial stage. Even if someone places an order, it cannot be from the Ministry of War, but from those big drug stores.  This matter was so weird that Chen Wanrong couldn't ask for a clear explanation.  (To be continued.
