Everyone Knows I’m a Good Man

Chapter 46

Ji Changze and the military advisor had finished discussing it, but General Hou didn't think it through clearly. Fortunately, the two of them had known that this would happen, so they were not surprised.

Anyway, as long as General Hou can fight.

There is no need for him to use his brain.

They discussed the matter over a stick of incense and decided what to do next.

General Hou is really good at fighting, and his brain is very useful when marching and fighting. However, apart from fighting, his brain will shut down whenever he encounters other things.

It wouldn't be wrong to call him stupid.

Maybe this is because my personal talent is only full of fighting skills, and everything else is zero.

If the world is at peace, it is a good thing that he is like this. After all, the people who hold military power are stupid, which is very good for the emperor.

But who told us that these are troubled times?

The princes were eyeing each other, fighting to the death. They did not dare to attack the emperor. They could only focus on the six ministries of the court, civil and military officials, and tried every means to win over people.

At this time, the death rate of hundreds of officials in the court was very high.

After all, take sides, your opponent may want to kill you.

If you don't take sides, everyone might kill you.

It was even more impossible to play both sides, and he was immediately killed.

Like General Hou, there are many people who are resented because they did not accept the second prince's win over.

You don’t accept my win over? OK! You look down on me!

You don’t accept my win over? OK! Are you secretly siding with my opponent?

You don’t accept my win over? OK! If you're not of any use to me, go to hell and let someone like me come up instead!

In short, smart people will live longer no matter what they do, while brainless people, like General Hou, will die no matter what they do.

Even if he does nothing, if he sits in this position and holds this military power, there will naturally be people who want to replace him.

Don’t you want this military power? That would be even more exciting. What is a useless person doing in this world?

It means death anyway, that's exactly what it is.

The military advisor wanted to save his life, but the problem was that General Hou's IQ could not be improved, so he could only rely on external forces to survive.

For example, military advisor, such as Ji Changze.

"First increase the loyalty of the soldiers below to the general."

After Ji Changze finished speaking, he thought for a while and then decided: "Let's start with this military order on drinking."

The military advisor frowned and nodded: "Okay."

They knelt down facing each other, and General Hou sat on one side. Seeing that the two seemed to have reached a consensus, he asked curiously: "What should we do? Will it tire you out?"

Ji Changze smiled at him: "Not really, I just need to trouble the general."

General Hou: "???"

"I???"

****

It is the cold winter, but the soldiers in the military camp cannot sleep in, they all have to get up to practice.

While they were practicing, their superiors suddenly told them to stop practicing because the general had something to say.

So everyone lined up with sweat on their foreheads.

There is a high platform in the military camp, just to go up when necessary when Hou Jiangjun is talking, so that he can speak more clearly.

In the camp, people from below came in: "General, everyone is here."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

Hou Jiangjun recited the manuscript Ji Changze had written for him and the military advisor polished it several times, rubbed his face again, and then strode out.

After standing up, he waved his hand and raised his voice loudly:

"Yesterday, I caught two soldiers taking wine back to the military camp."

Wang Da Wang Er shrank his neck underneath and did not dare to say a word.

The other soldiers all thought that General Hou was planning to punish the soldiers who drank secretly in public, but General Hou waved his hand and said: "Since I enacted the prohibition on alcohol, many people have repeatedly violated the prohibition without any repentance. They were beaten and scolded. But it’s always forbidden.”

Even though he looked stupid in front of the military advisor, he actually looked a bit fierce. With his face so downcast at the moment, it was really scary to look at him.

At least there were so many people standing below who didn't dare to say anything.

So many people were completely silent.

What General Hou said became more and more clear: "I know that each and every one of you secretly thinks that the alcohol prohibition is useless. Well, today I will let you see whether it is useful or not."

"The captain of Team C and Team B and Team B and Team B and Team Three will go out."

The two soldiers stood up confused, looking a little scared.

They didn't commit any crime either.

General Hou pointed at them and said loudly: "These two are good drinkers, and most people know this."

As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted below: "Bring it up!!"

Immediately, some soldiers carried a big man up and placed it firmly on the table with a dull sound.

General Hou stepped forward and opened it, and the aroma of wine immediately wafted out.

He raised his voice and said, "Here is a jar of fine wine. I asked someone to go to the town to buy it early in the morning. You two come forward and start drinking. Stop when you feel you are done."

The two men stepped forward hesitantly, neither daring to move.

General Hou glared and said fiercely: "Look what I am doing, drink!!"

The boss had an order, and even though they didn't know why the order was given, the two of them could only drink.

Don't tell me, it's really a delicious wine. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have laughed out loud after drinking it.

No one dared to speak underneath, they just watched the two of them drinking.

Waiting until both of them put down the spoons in their hands: "General, drink it up."

"Drink, right?"

General Hou looked at the two of them, his face was indeed red and his eyes were a little blurry.

He pointed at a relatively thin soldier and said, "Come here, beat them both, fight with them."

The soldier was confused. He was born thin. As captains, these two men were both weak and experienced. How could he defeat them?

He stepped forward tremblingly, but did not dare to move.

General Hou frowned and shouted: "Fight!"

Seeing this, the military advisor below shook his head, went up and said warmly, "The three of you will fight, two against one. The winner will be rewarded with five taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two captains and the soldier, who were already drunk and were not very clear-headed, lit up.

He immediately started fighting without hesitation.

The soldier was thin and weak, both of them were dizzy and unable to stand firmly. For a while, a draw was maintained.

The military advisor stood aside and watched, and General Hou quietly came to his side: "Cousin, those five taels of silver..."

"Come out of the general's account."

General Hou felt bitter in his heart, but he still wanted to maintain his image in front of his subordinates. He could only scold the three of them with a straight face while feeling bitter in his heart:

"Is this how you fight against the enemy?! The bottom plate is unstable, how do I train you on weekdays!!"

The three of them fought lively.

Ji Changze also found it interesting watching it from below.

What a piece of green chickens pecking each other.

Because General Hou was not talking now, the soldiers around him were also whispering.

"Which one do you think will win?"

"It's the two captains, look how strong they are."

"I don't think so. They were drunk and couldn't stand firm. Otherwise, how could they let such a thin boy beat him back and forth and fail to take him down after so long."

"That's true. I really envy this boy. If only it was me who was called up just now. Five taels of silver."

Ji Changze listened to them talking, took out some peanuts from his arms and started eating.

While eating, watch the battle on the stage.

Sure enough, it was over soon.

Although the two captains were experienced and taller and stronger than the smaller ones, they were confused after drinking, and they felt sleepy after being blown by the wind like this. It would have been nice if they didn't fall asleep directly on the stage.

Under General Hou's hidden and distressed gaze, the military advisor personally gave five taels of silver to the thin soldier.

The other two people staggered down with their heads down, while Xiao Bing ran off the stage with excitement on his face.

This five taels of silver is enough for their family's expenses for three years.

On the stage, General Hou's eyes followed Yinzi. From the perspective of others, he admired this boy who could defeat the two captains, and he suddenly became more envious and jealous.

It wasn't until the silver, no, the soldier entered the team that he couldn't see it, that General Hou reluctantly looked back.

"Did you see it? These two people are famous for their ability to drink, fight, and have experience in killing enemies. So what? They are not just at the mercy of others after drinking. They can't even defeat a small soldier."

"If you are at home or outside, as long as you are not in my military camp, I don't care how you like to drink. But if you are drunk in the military camp, and the enemy attacks, the drunken people will even go to the southeast, northwest, etc. If you can’t tell, how can you meet the enemy?”

"Is it possible that I have to burp from wine?!!"

Seeing the furious look on his face and the frighteningly cold tone in his voice, the people below did not dare to speak out and carefully watched General Hou speak.

"For the sake of your lives, I don't let you drink, but it turns out that you are all doing well. You are not allowed to drink, but you still drink secretly. What's wrong? You don't feel bad about the slap, do you?"

No matter how many people who loved drinking in the past had complaints about General Hou.

Now I saw with my own eyes that the two drunken captains were beaten by a thin soldier, and I felt a little scared in my heart.

They are all people who have been on the battlefield, and of course they know how dangerous this situation is if the enemy attacks.

Your own life is still important.

General Hou saw the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the people below and snorted coldly:

"Today I will set a rule here. From now on, if you catch anyone drinking in the military camp, we will fine you no more. We will fine one person fifty taels, two people ten taels, and three people it will be fifteen taels!"

General Hou waved his hand again, and the people below quickly carried a heavy box up. He opened it himself, revealing the copper plates inside.

He looked down at the people below: "Did you see that? These are the two soldiers from the Jiajiu Team, named Wang Da Wang Er. They secretly brought wine back to the military camp and were fined ten taels!"

Wang Da Wang Er was shrinking his neck when he suddenly heard his name being mentioned, and his neck shrank even more.

General Hou continued: "I sent someone to exchange the silver into ten thousand copper coins and distribute it to you."

The originally peaceful soldiers below immediately raised their heads, with joy on their faces.

"Why are you happy! Are you happy after taking money?! Then you'd better hope that next time someone dares to break the ban and is caught again, this general will deal with it the same way, fine them, and distribute the money to others, even yourself If you don’t have any money, it will be deducted from the military salary.”

"The first time I'm fined is five taels, the second time I'm fined 10 taels, and the third time I'm fined fifteen taels. If you can't afford it and can't deduct it, then you will be punished with a serious crime!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode away from the stage.

The people below were immediately led to disperse.

After hiding in the back, General Hou breathed a sigh of relief. He almost forgot his words just now, but luckily he had memorized them all night last night.

Ji Changze came around from the other side: "General, in a moment you can give two taels of silver to each of the two captains."

General Hou: "???"

"Isn't it said that you can only make money if you win?"

"They didn't do anything wrong. They were pulled on stage and drunk for no reason, and they were knocked down by a skinny soldier in front of the entire military camp. They were also captains after all, so they needed some face. If the general didn't give some compensation, I'm afraid, They have resentment in their hearts.”

Ji Changze comforted him with a smile: "Anyway, you were willing to give me five taels of silver just now, are you still afraid of two more taels?"

General Hou finally forced himself to forget the five taels of silver: "..."

My heart hurts so much. It hurts so much.

Ji Changze: "General, don't you have any money? If I don't have any money, I'll go to the military advisor and ask for it."

General Hou became angry: "Who said I have no money? I am also General Xingguo after all. How can I have no money?!"

He dug and dug, and he actually took out a piece of silver and handed it to Ji Changze with a look of reluctance.

"I'm afraid this silver is worth three taels. Remember to pay me back one tael. That's what I used to buy wine."

Ji Changze took the silver and said to the corner covered by wood: "What the military advisor said is that the general still has the silver hidden."

The military advisor, holding a hand stove and wearing tight clothes, walked out from the corner and looked at General Hou quietly.

General Hou: "..."

Sometimes he really suspected that he and his cousin were not related.

My cousin and Ji Changze are the ones.

It's amazing that these two people come together.

The military advisor didn't say anything. He just said, "General, please find a carpenter. There is something we need to make."

"Okay, no problem, I'll ask my people to look for it immediately."

General Hou patted his chest and asked curiously, "What do you want to do?"

The military advisor looked at Ji Changze, who did not hide anything: "Wheelchair."

"What is a wheelchair?"

General Hou didn't know why.

Ji Changze said: "The general will know after it is made."

"By the way, I came up with another good idea to trick the second prince. Why don't we go to the camp and talk about it slowly?"

It was definitely not easy to talk about this kind of thing outside. After the three of them entered the camp, General Hou became curious again when he looked at Ji Changze who was taking out the book and placing it on the table.

"Mr. Ji, do you have any grudge against the second prince?"

Ji Changze frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I will answer this question for you later."

General Hou: "???"

The military advisor opened the messages sent today and was reading them down one by one. Suddenly, when he turned to one of the pages, his face became cold and he slammed the table.

General Hou, who was sitting down and fanning himself, was startled by his appearance: "Cousin, cousin?"

"What's wrong? But is there any bad news in the capital?"

Ji Changze walked over and picked up the message.

He sneered and handed it to General Hou.

"Look General, now I have a grudge against the second prince."

General Hou took it over in confusion, his eyebrows furrowed as he looked at it, his face full of anger.

"This is unreasonable!!"

He also slapped the table and almost jumped up with anger: "Xingguo is now in chaos, and the people are already living a difficult life. As a prince, he doesn't want to serve the country and the people, but he takes the opportunity to rob women and children and sell them to the northwest. Does he still have humanity?"

Ji Changze took the message and threw it into the fire. Watching it gradually burn out, his eyes were full of ice.

"This matter must not have happened in a day or two. Otherwise, why could those rebels easily escape to the northwest? The Geq family over there occupies the grassland and has many good horses, but they are short of women. The second prince exchanged my Xingguo people for good horses, right? I’m afraid it’s a good deal for him.”

The military advisor suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Ji Changze: "Have you known for a long time? That the person who destroyed the village was the second prince's people?"

"It's not hard to guess."

"Yes." The military advisor nodded and sighed: "The second prince's fiefdom is nearby. Although he has not yet gone to the fiefdom, it is easy for him to do what he wants. In addition, he has always been generous and has many good horses at his disposal. The money was spent clearly, but the reason was never mentioned.”

General Hou, who was still angry: "..."

He could never keep up with these two.

"Then what should we do now? Now that the second prince's affair has been revealed, we don't have to do anything, right?"

The military advisor shook his head: "He won't be tripped. It's just some common people. No one will care."

Ji Changze looked at him and stretched out his hand to warm the fire; "He was exposed this time because someone in the court mentioned that he wanted to redeem the people who were sold to the northwest by the rebels. The general can bring back all the people who rejuvenate our country after wiping out the rebels. It is also a great achievement." "

General Hou nodded: "What about your wife?"

"My wife, of course I will bring her back myself."

During this period of time, he and his military advisor have been thinking about how to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, and found that the fastest is half a year.

And he had to ignore the resistance from the second prince.

Didn't they wonder before that they didn't agree to solicit? Why did the second prince try so hard to go against General Hou?

Now it seems that the plan is to get him down and replace one of his own people. The operation of exchanging people for horses will be easier and simpler.

"Get ready to go and fetch the miracle doctor."

General Hou then remembered it and said quickly, "Speaking of this miracle doctor, my people came back after asking about it and said that the miracle doctor has a weird temper. Since his legs were lame due to the poison he tried, he has refused to see him again." "

Ji Changze nodded: "I know, he will still help people see doctors, but he just put forward a condition."

"Yes, he said that he would only be willing to see a doctor unless the person he wanted to see could move freely and act like a normal person."

General Hou felt that this was an excuse: "He can't cure himself. If someone really has such ability, there is no need to go to him for medical treatment."

"Some people came to see him before, but he wasn't happy with it. Even with the knife on his neck, he wasn't happy with it. I think there's nothing we can do. Why don't we try another person? But after asking around, this miracle doctor is the only one. High reputation."

Ji Changze: "Who said there is no way."

He pointed to the drawings on the table: "This is the method."

The army began to set off. On the way, they stopped to repair where the miracle doctor was.

They led the people to the bamboo house.

General Hou stood up first and said, "I'm Hou Ruoming, I'm here to see the miracle doctor."

A child opened the door and walked out, saying crisply: "Master said that he will only see the doctor again if he can travel freely."

General Hou's face immediately showed a smile that was unexpectedly proud, and he asked people to move the wheelchair forward.

Patting the armrest of the wheelchair: "This is what allows the miracle doctor to travel freely."

The child looked up and down in confusion: "What is this?"

"wheelchair!"

General Hou pointed to Ji Changze beside him: "This gentleman with great talent made it."

Ji Changze bowed his hands and said with humility, "No, no."

"It's just in the brain."
