Guo Si's inner plan is indeed a half true and half false message to Zhang Xiu, so as to retaliate against her. Even if it can't destroy Zhang Xiu's army, at least let Zhang Xiu suffer.
But Zhang Xiu's words shattered his inner thoughts.
He dare not lie at all.
Once a lie is discovered by Zhang Xiu's spies and the news is sent back, he will not only hurt his buttocks, but also lose his head. As far as the situation of being beaten by 50 soldiers just now is concerned, Zhang Xiu is absolutely true to what she says and can do it.
If the news is not true, Zhang Xiu will kill him.
Zhang Xiu examined Guo Si and asked again, "Guo Si, do you think clearly?"
"Think about it."
Guo Si gave a sad smile with a helpless look.
He can't help it.
I can't provoke Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu took the paper and pen to Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, you are responsible for the inquiry and record. We need to make clear where Li's camp is, the deployment of troops and the situation of the granary. "
"I'll do it
Jia Xu solemnly replied.
He did not delay time, immediately let the soldiers carry the injured Guo Si out of the camp, to bring Guo Si to trial.
Only Pang Tong and Zhang Xiu were left in the camp.
Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "Lord, according to Mr. Jia, the situation in Guanzhong is not optimistic. If we occupy Guanzhong, will we be delayed. It's hard to be sure, at least for the time being
Zhang Xiu thought for a while and replied, "there is a certain truth in your worry, but in the long run, occupying Guanzhong is equal to mastering a lifeline, so we can really have a foothold. This is where we have to take it. "
Pang Tong sighed and said, "it's true. If you want to get benefits, you have to pay a considerable price."
"It's worth it," Zhang said
Pang Tong changed his words and suggested: "the situation in Guanzhong is a complete mess. It can even be said that the roots are completely rotten. We have to use heavy allusions to kill people. A mess of a place, slowly map it, the effect is too slow. It is suggested that after seizing Guanzhong, we should kill the chickens and frighten the monkeys and rectify the local areas. "
With a look of approval, Zhang Xiu said, "what Shiyuan said is true. In troubled times, heavy allusions should be used. After all, it doesn't work in troubled times to influence the people with morality. "
Pang Tong didn't speak any more, so he turned around and stepped down.
Zhang Xiu sat alone in the tent, sorting out the government affairs presented, and deducing the next step of the war according to the information she got at the moment.
Time goes by little.
A day is fleeting.
In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Xiu went out of the camp and was ready to make an inspection tour in Wuguan. But as soon as he walked out of the camp, suddenly, a soldier rushed out. When he was ten steps away from Zhang Xiu, he plopped and knelt on the ground.
Zhang Xiu stopped immediately.
The soldier said in a loud voice: "General Zhang, please make the decision for the villain!"
Zhang Xiu looked at the soldier kneeling on the ground in front of him. He was thin, dark and not very tall. At first glance, it was not the temperament of his soldiers.
This is a soldier of Xiliang army under Guo Si.
By this time, the soldiers at the gate of the barracks had already rushed out, ready to stop the soldiers of the Xiliang army.
Zhang Xiu waved her hand to stop her and asked, "what's your name?"
"The soldier said:" the villain Ma Liang
Zhang xiudao: "Ma Liang, right? You wait for me outside the camp of Ben Jiang, but what's the matter?"
Ma Liang kowtowed his head to the ground and said, "general Qi, the villain was originally a military commander in the army, with five soldiers under his command. Just this afternoon, the army reorganized and assigned us to the flying bear army of General Huang Zhong. "
"As soon as General Huang Zhong took office, he distributed his armor and weapons. We are grateful for that. In addition, General Huang also gave each person 100 yuan as a subsidy, let's subsidize the family. "
"The money given above is 100 yuan, but in the hands of villains and other soldiers, a person has only ten Wen."
"The villain didn't know at first."
"According to the ten questions, my brothers thought it was good at first. After all, they could still have money. But it was not long before I learned that some of the other soldiers actually got 100 yuan. Then I realized that the subsidy given to each soldier was 100 yuan. "
Ma Liang kowtowed his head to the ground and said, "if you dare to die, please ask general Zhang to make the decision for us."
Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed and examined Ma Liang in front of her. She asked, "didn't you go to find Huang Zhong? Huang Zhong is the commander of the flying bear army. He is in charge of the big and small affairs of the flying bear army. When something goes wrong, Huang Zhong is in charge of it. "
Ma Liang said: "dare not go!"
Zhang Xiu asked, "why?"
Ma Liang explained: "near General Huang's camp, there are spies set up by centurions and Shichang. We can't get close to them. I can't help it, so I risked my life to ask the general to make decisions for us. "
When Zhang Xiu heard the speech, she had a cold look in her eyes.There are many bad habits in Guo Si's Xiliang army. Zhang Xiu can be sure that the soldiers who have been transferred from Huang Zhao and Zhang Shi and others will not be able to deduct any of their salaries once they are paid.
Since Huang Zhong wanted to subsidize all the soldiers of the flying bear army, the Xiliang army, which had been loyal to Zhang Xiu, must have got the money. Only in this way can people know that the subsidy is 100 yuan.
Zhang Xiu asked: "do you know who is involved in the embezzlement of money this time?"
Ma Liang still fell on the ground and replied: "the villain's boss, Zhao Yongshi, and the centurion, Yue Qingtan, embezzled money. I don't know the rest. "
Zhang Xiu's mind turns, thinking about coping strategies.
For Zhang Xiu, things can be big or small.
It's very simple for him to deal with it. Even if he only needs one sentence, Huang Zhong can deal with it immediately. But after thinking about it in her heart, Zhang Xiu doesn't plan to deal with it easily.
Because this is a bad habit in the Xiliang army, we must stop it.
This is the bottom line.
Don't trample!
Anyone who tramples on it will die.
Zhang Xiu soon had a decision in her heart. Her eyes were sharp and she ordered, "come on!"
"Yes
A soldier came forward and saluted.
Zhang Xiu said, "inform Huang Zhong to gather all the flying bear troops to the school yard."
"Here it is
The soldiers have to be ordered to inform immediately.
Zhang Xiu looked at Ma Liang kneeling on the ground and said, "you have courage and conscience. You will appreciate it very much. You let Ben decide for you. Ben will deal with it now. Let's go. Ben will go to the school
"General Xie!"
Ma Liang stood up quickly.
Hope rises on his face, expecting that Zhang Xiu can sweep away the old atmosphere.
When he was under Guo Si's command, he was also a centurion, but he was upright and not good at drilling. Because he contradicted the superior, he was demoted to Wu Chang, but Ma Liang still shouldn't get used to it.
It's a common practice for the army to make concessions.
Under Guo Si's command, Ma Liang got used to it, because Guo Si himself was a man who scraped the ground three feet. It was useless to search around and appeal to Guo Si.
Under Zhang Xiu's command, his temper has gone wrong again.
Try it.
Ma Liang hopes that the army can be entrusted with life and death between his colleagues, rather than fighting for each other's interests.
This is not what Ma Liang wants to see.
With Zhang Xiu, he soon arrived at the school.
"Step on it! Step on it
The sound of footsteps came quickly.
Huang Zhong led the 8000 flying bear troops to come quickly and ordered the soldiers to line up. After arranging the soldiers, Huang Zhong came to Zhang Xiu's body, saluted with his fist and said, "Lord!"
Zhang Xiu asked: "Hansheng, I heard that you paid a subsidy today, and each soldier was given a subsidy of 100 yuan."
"Yes
Huang Zhong did not hesitate and said directly: "the Xiliang army under Guo Si was extremely poor and had been deprived of numerous military salaries. Because there are too many deductions, I can't make up for my humble position. "
"Only subsidies can be given to make up for one or two."
"As a result, the despicable paid a subsidy, and each person paid 100 yuan."
Huang Zhong continued: "in addition, the salary of the soldiers in the Xiliang army under Guo Si's command was adjusted to be the same as that of the soldiers in our army."
Zhang xiudao: "the practice is good, but it has not been carried out."
Huang Zhong immediately frowned.
He is a veteran in the army and is familiar with the situation in the army. As soon as Zhang Xiu said that he didn't carry it out, he knew that there might be a case of embezzlement, otherwise Zhang Xiu would not find him personally.
Huang Zhong also held a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if it wasn't the reduction of military salaries? He was calm and asked, "Lord, but what happened?"
