Li Hui sat there alone and waved to Chen Jiu: "Okay, let's stop here. You can go back."
"Student, please leave." Chen Jiu saluted and Shi Shiran walked out.
This conversation was not pleasant. Chen Jiu was thoughtful. He was still not strong enough.
Back at the inn, it was getting very late, Yi Xiaoxiao had already gone to bed, Chao Xiaoyu was sitting alone in the lobby, Ji Lai lay quietly in front of her knees.
Seeing Chen Jiu come in, Chao Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "Back?"
"Yeah" Chen Jiu didn't look good and forced a smile.
"Is the dean giving you a hard time?" Chao Xiaoyu asked with concern.
Chen Jiu didn¡¯t speak, and sat quietly next to Chao Xiaoyu. Chao Xiaoyu looked at Chen Jiu, his black and white eyes gradually became firm, as if he was making a decision.
Chaozhou is one of the largest state capitals of the dynasty.
The forces in Chaozhou are mixed, including monks from Fang Xiandao, scholars, and some evil monks.
At this time, the Yamen Mansion in Chaozhou was brightly lit, officials were constantly coming in and out, and letters were sent everywhere.
Outside Chaozhou City, the general of the town army looked ugly, and behind him were neatly armed soldiers.
"Report~~~" A soldier rode a horse and rushed towards the military formation at a fast pace.
The deputy behind the general stood up and shouted: "Who is so bold and dares to break into the military formation without permission?"
"Yu~~~" The front legs of the war horse were beaten high, and a soldier fell from the horse. He didn't care about the dust on his body or his excuses. He knelt directly on the ground and said: "General, this villain is a secret agent in the army. The previous news about the refugee rebellion has been confirmed. I beg the general to go out."
The general's hand stiffened for a moment, and then he helped the soldier up: "Please get up quickly. Let me ask you, is the news about the rebellion of the refugees true?"
"I dare to pledge my life, and I sincerely request the general to quickly go out to quell the rebellion," the soldier said eagerly.
"Comer".
There are soldiers out in "Zai".
"Send this brother to the back camp to rest. It won't be too late for us to discuss the matter of going out to counter the rebellion," the general said.
The soldier was forced to stay in the rear camp without any resistance.
"Quickly go and worry about the generals on the left and right, and the generals from all walks of life will discuss important matters," the general ordered.
Soon all the generals came here and looked at the general quietly.
The general's body was wrapped in black armor, as if all the generals in the entire dynasty had similar attire.
The entire campus was quiet, without any sound, except, of course, the breathing of the 30,000-strong army. A chilling atmosphere filled the whole place.
"Now a spy has come to report that someone wants to gather a crowd to rebel. What should we do?" The general's voice was cold.
After the general's words came out, there were no heroic adverbials in the room. There were only words of tranquility when he went out to fight the rebellion.
"The general has something to say." A general standing in the middle stood up.
"explain".
"Kill that spy" the general's words were brief and clear.
"Kill. The last general agrees with General Li's view." Another general stood up and agreed.
The general waved his hand: "That soldier is also a soldier of our army and our brother. It is unkind and unkind to treat his robe like this."
"General, we have had a severe drought in Chaozhou for three years. There has been no harvest in the fields, and people are dying of hunger all over the land. The guards of Chaozhou Prefecture actually sold the disaster relief grains sent by the court privately. Now the officials are forcing the people to rebel, and the people have no way to survive. If they don't rebel, how can they survive? How?" said the general named Li.
"It's very, very terrible. Half of my army's food and salary has been deducted by that corrupt official. I can barely maintain food and clothing. How can I go on an expedition?" the general who later agreed followed.
Another general with a beard and a burly figure stood up: "General, you and I are both from the countryside. Now the people don't have enough to eat. If we don't rebel, we can still survive. If you ask us to pay homage to our fathers, When the villagers extended their butcher's knife, I, the old man, was the first to refuse."
Another general stood up and said, "General, it may not be appropriate to go on an expedition, as it may cause a mutiny."
"Oh, why?" The general's body remained motionless.
"The relatives of the 30,000 soldiers behind me are among the refugee army. If you want to force them to use the butcher's knife on their parents, I'm afraid the first people these soldiers want to kill will be us. I hope the general will think twice." All the generals Kudo knelt down on one knee.
As soon as these words were spoken, the three armies behind him all knelt on one knee and said, "General, please think twice."
?"If we don't go on an expedition, when the refugees invade Chaozhou City, we will be the ones who die. The court will not let us go. You have to think about it." The general was still as iron-blooded and indifferent as ever.
"This, this, this,,," all the generals looked at each other in confusion.
The atmosphere became tense, and all the 30,000 troops behind them knelt on the ground, leaving only one person standing.
Suddenly, a burst of lights rose in the distance, and a large group of people came galloping over.
The general waved his hand: "Everyone stand up and form a formation to be on guard."
"Drink" "drink" "drink".
Thirty thousand people shouted in unison, the sound shook for more than ten miles, and the people and horses in the distance scattered for a while.
A general mounted his horse and held a knife to block the way of the group of people: "Wait for He, the front is where the Chaozhou Town Army is stationed, stop immediately."
"I am a Chaozhou garrison, and I want to see the general." The person on the other side stopped walking, and soon someone came out to talk.
"General, the dog officer wants to see you, but we can't see him. If he does, there will be no reason to delay him. The only way is to send troops," the general whispered in his ear.
"Hiding is not an option, call him over," the general said.
"Yes" the soldier responded.
After a while, the Chaozhou garrison came: "I've seen the general."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out the Chaozhou garrison carefully, it turns out that he really has the eyes of a deer and doesn¡¯t look like a good person.
"Who are you?" The general's voice still did not waver at all.
To be honest, with the separation of military and political affairs and the taboo between civil and military affairs, this general and the Chaozhou garrison have never met.
"I am the Chaozhou garrison," the Chaozhou garrison said respectfully.
The situation is stronger than the people. I beg you to stop pretending to be a grandson. Logically speaking, the general of the town is on the same level as the Chaozhou garrison. But looking at the current situation, how can I do it if I don¡¯t pretend to be a grandson? In the past, I deprived people of their military pay, which made them miserable. .
"Oh, it turns out the guard is here. I wonder what the purpose of the guard coming to me is?" The general's figure could be seen through the armor, and there was a smell of blood, which made the guard feel sick.
"General, there is a rebellion among the refugees. Please take action quickly to put down the rebellion," the guard said eagerly.
"Guard, you brought so many people out of the city. If the defense of Chaozhou City is not tight and something goes wrong, how can you afford it?" The general suddenly said coercively, and a martial arts pressure was pressed against the guard. .
Suddenly, a golden light flashed above the guard's head, and an official seal appeared, blocking the martial arts momentum. A Qilin seal flashed above the general's head, fighting with the official seal.
"I,,, I'd like to ask the general to send troops. If it's too late, it'll be too late." The guard changed the subject. In front of so many people, he couldn't say that he was afraid of death.
"Let the garrison know that our 30,000 soldiers have not had enough to eat for two years. The soldiers are very resentful and disrespectful of the generals. What can I do?" the general said helplessly.
When I heard this, my face suddenly turned pale and looked ugly. I knew what I had done. I deprived others of their military pay. Everyone would have a complaint.
"General, this matter is my fault. If you ask the general to send troops, I must redouble my efforts to make up for it."
"Guardian, what do you mean by this? Are you asking these 30,000 brothers to fight with others when they are hungry? My brothers are so hungry that they cannot even pick up a knife. How can we fight with others? You are Are you asking us to die?" the general said coldly.
Hearing this, the defenders looked towards the army behind them and saw the 30,000-strong army with strict formation flags. Under the moonlight, they could see the cold light flickering.
"But the general grabbed his pigtails and refused to let go. He was so angry that he couldn't express his anger. A mute who eats Coptis chinensis cannot express his suffering.
"General, personal grievances are small, but matters of family and country are major matters. Don't abandon public service for personal reasons." The guard's forehead was sweating.
"This is a bad defense. I can't let my thirty thousand brothers, whose legs are weak from hunger, go to die." The general just kept focusing on the lack of food and military pay, and was reluctant to send troops.
"Even if you soldiers are weak, but those are refugees and vulnerable to attack. Why don't you send troops? Are you trying to rebel?" The guard finally got angry. Sun Tzu, who had been pretending for so long, showed his true colors. face.
