Han counter current

With the support of two soldiers, Zhang Xiu walked out of the big tent with difficulty. He had seen the scene just now. If he didn't stand up at this time, he would not be able to hold his head up today.

"General,,,,,,"

Three thousand Xiliang athletes, including the group of soldiers who wanted to leave just now, knelt down and saluted. Zhang Xiu used to be their lord, the god of war in their hearts. status.

"Get up, you guys, do you really want to go?"

Without anger or cursing, Zhang Xiu just asked calmly.

"We have been born and died for many years, from Xiliang to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Wancheng, and finally, when we get here, ask yourself, have I ever treated you badly?"

"General, I, we,,,,,,"

"You, come here." Zhang Xiu pointed to an older veteran: "When did you join the army, what position do you currently occupy, and what wronged you in my camp?"

"The villain followed the old general in Xiliang back then, and it has been almost 12 years now, and he is currently serving as a senior officer in the army."

"You are my uncle's old subordinate and an officer in the army. Why did you leave?"

"General, the villain doesn't want to, but the villain has an old mother and three children to support. I followed the old general to fight in the north and south. I managed to survive until now, and finally got married.

But I can't watch my children go hungry. I haven't had enough to eat since I was a child. From the day I joined the army, I swore that I must fill my children's stomachs in the future, but I can't do it now, General , I can't help it, woo woo woo,,,,,, "

"General, there is nothing we can do, and we don't want to leave, but,,,,,,"

A group of seven-foot-tall men all burst into tears, abandoning brotherhood, and bearing the infamy of traitors, is it really for that ration?

If it was five or six years ago, when they were all alone, they would definitely not have done this, but now they have families and are burdened.

"Zhang Xiu, stop being hypocritical here, isn't it enough for these soldiers to work for you? What else do you want, do you want them all to die in front of you?

Do you know that their family members are now waiting for them to send back the food, if you really treat them as brothers, then don't embarrass them. "

Cao Hong really became smarter today. Seeing that Zhang Xiu was about to incite the soldiers with his brotherhood, he immediately poured cold water on them, breaking the atmosphere of the scene.

"I don't believe the prime minister will allow you to do this. I'm going to see the prime minister."

Zhang Xiu knew that Cao Hong was a fool, and he was here to make trouble, so he could only pull Cao Cao out to scare him.

Although he knew that there must be Cao Cao's shadow behind this matter, even though he knew that even if Cao Hong did too much, Cao Cao would never do anything to him because of this matter.

"It's been three days since the prime minister led the main force away, don't you know yet?"

Cao Hong continued to shout at the top of his voice: "The battle ahead is urgent, Liu Bei's subordinates are vulnerable, so many brothers are fighting at the front, and only your battalion of [-] cavalry has nothing to do behind.

Let me tell you the truth, the prime minister has no control over this matter, and he has no time to control it. As long as you are willing to go with me today, you can immediately go to the front line with me to win the battle. "

"General, we, we,,,,,,"

Zhang Xiu's pale face turned even paler now. It was indeed Cao Cao who did this on purpose. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took away his military power little by little. When he has no more troops, he may not be far from death. .

"Let's go, oh, let's go if you want to go,,,,,,"

Finally, Zhang Xiu turned around and walked slowly towards the big tent with his heavy steps.

Zhang Xiu, the former spear king of the Northland, the god of war worshiped by Xiliang Jianer, who was at his peak, has become so downcast that he can't even stop his subordinates from defecting.

"Get out, get out of here, from now on, we are no longer brothers, get out,,,,,,"

Hu Che'er roared and roared with red eyes, he was like an angry beast, but he couldn't find a way to vent...

In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiu half-closed his eyes. Today's affairs were too disturbing, and he had to find a way out for himself.

"Is the general still hesitating?"

In the corner, a voice came: "Make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, my lord will not be able to save you, and now is your only chance. My lord said that the reputation of the Northern Gun King should not be so depraved." gone."

"Chen Feng." Zhang Xiu has been in touch with this secret agent for several days, but he has been hesitating: "But I still have so many subordinates behind me."

"There won't be too many who can really follow you. You should think about it yourself."

"Old thief, you forced me, you forced me to do this, I will never catch you without a fight..."

Chapter 129 Seeking a way out 1

"What's the situation with Zhang Xiu now? After the trouble last time, he didn't die of anger, right?" In the big tent, Cao Cao played with the dagger in his hand, while Cao Hong stood by.

"How is that sick cat doing now? I took more than 200 people from his camp that day, and he didn't even dare to fart.

Don't worry, my lord, as long as I go a few more times, I promise to bring all his subordinates over there, including men and horses. I guess he won't be able to last for a few days. "

"Oh? Why are you so sure?"

"My lord doesn't know, this guy hasn't received food for almost half a month, and there are about [-] horses in his camp.

In addition to those soldiers, this man eats horse chews, and he does not know how much food and grass he consumes every day. I heard that he ordered a group of war horses to be taken out to graze ten days ago.

Hehe, the war horses in his camp are all top-grade Xiliang war horses. Isn't Ziwen going to reorganize his own cavalry now? I think he can get the war horses from Zhang Xiu. "

"Don't push him too fast, although I can pretend not to know about this matter, but you and the quartermaster really shouldn't have cut off his food and grass for so long.

If this gets out, what will others think? Well, let Ziwen escort a batch of grain and grass there for only ten days, and then escort another batch of it, saying that you captured it outside, and you can exchange the grain and grass with him for war horses. . "

"Master Gao Ming, generals often exchange war horses and food in private. Doing so does not violate military regulations, and others can't gossip. I will do it now, hahaha, Zhang Xiu, that's all."

"Zhang Xiu, if you want to blame it, you can blame me for killing me, Ang'er. I didn't want to do that either."

Cao Cao stared at the dagger in his hand. The well-made dagger was engraved with the word "ang".

*******

"Open the door, open the door, what are you doing closing the camp gate in broad daylight?"

Cao Hong's loud voice rang out again outside Zhang Xiu's military camp: "At the order of the prime minister, General Cao Zhang and I rushed to escort the food and grass, and quickly open the gate of the camp for me."

"Cao Hong, you are fucking making trouble again." Hu Che'er came out with a bone stick, and there was still a lot of meat on the bone stick, which was steaming.

"Go away, you bastard, hey, why are you still eating meat? Aren't you..."

Cao Zhang held Cao Hong back, it's good for everyone to know some things in their hearts, but if they say it blatantly, the impact will be bad.Cao Zhang's brain is obviously much easier to use than Cao Hong, he will not be so presumptuous.

"Under the order of the prime minister, I will deliver ten days' supply of food and grass to your department. In addition, I have something to discuss with General Zhang. This is the prime minister's warrant. You should open the door."

"Open the gate of the camp, let them in, and unload all the food and grass for me..." Hu Che'er had already been ordered by Zhang Xiu, so he didn't want to make trouble.

"Well, why is there a smell of meat in the camp."

Cao Zhang also found that something was wrong: "Did the Military Supplies Department bring you food, grass and livestock recently? Or did you defy the military order and go out to plunder?"
