Poor Ghost Up and Down 2000

Speaking of which, Sun Jian raised his eyes and looked at all the soldiers in the formation: "It's the same with you."

Although there was a law in the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Where there are dead officials and soldiers in the army, they will be given funeral tools and returned to the tomb of the town. This is the way to strengthen the army throughout the country."

But as a soldier in the army, most of the time, if you die, you are dead. No one will collect your body, and you should just bury it anywhere on the battlefield, let alone any compensation.

However, Sun Jian's army was provided with pensions, not from the court but from the local government, to relieve soldiers' worries and to improve their combat capabilities.

How much is a soldier's pension?

It's about half a penny, but it's about the same.

In this world, two pennies can buy a sword, and half a penny can buy a life.

"Crack."

With the sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard, the ancient ingot knife from Sun Jian's waist was slowly pulled out and held in his hand.

Raise the long knife and point it at the barracks outside Hulao Pass.

"Go to the army!"

The army marched out, and the soldier who stood still held the spear in his hand. Finally, he walked steadily forward. He didn't want to die, so he could only kill others and come back.

······

"Report!"

A voice came from outside the tent.

Hua Xiong sat cross-legged in front of the table in the tent, looking a little casual.

"Come in."

As he said lightly, a general pushed open the curtain of the tent and walked in.

Seeing Hua Xiong, he bowed down on one knee.

"General, Sun Jian's troops have begun to march."

"Oh." Hua Xiong sat at the table and smiled softly: "Really? I thought they would wait and see for a few more days."

"Thinking about it, I saw our army standing still and wanted to test it out." The general who was half kneeling on the ground said aloud.

"It should be so." Hua Xiong frowned, and looked at the general who was kneeling on the ground.

"You are only allowed to lose, not to win, but do you understand?"

The general hesitated for a moment: "But general, our army is defending this time. If we are easily defeated, I am afraid the other party will not believe it. It is difficult to make them take it lightly."

"Then just add something to make them believe it?"

Hua Xiong said with a smile, his tone was full of indifference, but it made the kneeling general a little embarrassed.

"General, what should we do?"

"When Sun Jian's army arrives, you can lead the army to fight for a while, and then you will be defeated, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

"Go and call the deputy general Hu Zhen." Pointing outside the tent, Hua Xiong said in a calm voice.

The general lowered his head and retreated silently.

Hua Xiong wanted his subordinates to pretend to be defeated, and then retreat to defend the pass, in order to wait until the attacking Sun Jian was careless and attack them at night, but at this time, he still needed a reason for Sun Jian to believe that they were really defeated.

It was probably after a stick of incense that Hua Xiong waited a little impatiently, and it was a general who walked out of the camp.

"General, Hu Zhen is here to take orders."

Here comes the reason.

A smile appeared on Hua Xiong's rough face, and he greeted the outside: "General Hu, come in."

Chapter 3 Twelve: In this world, a person's life is half hanging

The curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and an eight-foot-tall general walked in, wearing a paneled iron armor and a tasseled leather helmet on his head. He handed a spear in his hand to the soldier outside the tent, and walked in. In the tent.

"General." Hu Zhen knelt on the ground with one knee, "I don't know why the general called Hu Zhen here?"

"Wen Cai, if you can defeat the coalition army this time, do you know what kind of merit it is?"

Hua Xiong looked at Hu Zhen pretending to be kind and smiling, Hu Zhen was Dong Zhuo's general just like him, and they could be regarded as colleagues, but at this time Hu Zhen was temporarily transferred to be Hua Xiong's lieutenant general.

Hu Zhen fell silent when he heard Hua Xiong's words, and then smiled.

"Of course I know it, but I don't know what you mean, General?"

Stretching out his hand, pointing to the two, Hua Xiong lowered his body and said.

"Wen Cai, you and I have been together for many years, and I want to share this achievement with you."

After hearing Hua Xiong's words, Hu Zhen froze there, and then looked at Hua Xiong with joy on his face.

"The general is serious?"

"Of course it's serious." Hua Xiong put his hand on Hu Zhen's shoulder.

"There is a military report that Sun Jian, one of the princes, will attack our army. This army has come all the way, and the men and horses are exhausted. I want you to lead our army to fight, and we will surely win. By doing this, you will also do a great job. Wencai, what do you think?"

Hu Zhen's expression was excited, if he could break the princes all the way, it must be a great achievement, he looked at Hua Xiong with gratitude in his eyes, just like looking at reborn parents.

Said in a deep voice: "General, I will definitely defeat that Sun Jian!"

"Hahaha, good!" Hua Xiong patted Hu Zhen's shoulder deeply: "Wen Cai is indeed brave, this time I wish you victory and return!"

As he spoke, he helped Hu Zhen up from the ground, and said earnestly.

"By the way, Wencai, you have to remember that before fighting, you must first say that you are Hu Zhen, the deputy general of the first army, before fighting."

"This..." Hu Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked, "General, why?"

"You are so loud, firstly you can raise the morale of the soldiers, and secondly, you can make others remember your name, literary talent, you have to remember, in this world, merit alone is not enough, you also need to have a reputation. Get to the top."

Hu Zhen's eyes lit up, and he nodded clearly: "Yes, thank you General for telling me, Hu Zhen will definitely live up to the General's painstaking efforts."

"Just remember it." Hua Xiong said with a smile and waved his hands: "Go down."

"Yes!"

Hu Zhen turned around and walked out of the tent in high spirits, probably still thinking about how to shout loudly in front of the two armies, and how he would defeat the enemy.
