poor family prodigal

North Camp, Longtouguan fled back to the soldiers' tent, surrounded by horse-repelling stakes!

Longtou Pass was breached, and more than [-] soldiers fled back, but their weapons and armor were confiscated.

They say they are being detained, but in fact they are no different from military camps during wartime!

There is no need for combat training, and three meals a day are provided normally, which is more nutritious than before.

This is the normal thought of a defeated soldier!

But the soldiers who surrendered to the deserters were as anxious as if they were in a prison!

The general is so powerful that every meal has meat and vegetables, but the food is hard to swallow.

After losing the battle that night, Huangren ordered his soldiers to kill their immediate boss!

Any soldier who refused was pulled out by the deserters on the spot and hacked to death with knives!

He was afraid of death, so he stabbed his superior general, accepted the position of Huangren, and led a group of soldiers who were also betrayed to return as defeated soldiers to lurk.

Many soldiers were captured that night, and he speculated that many of them had rebelled!

Back in the city, he has been secretly preparing to cooperate with the deserter inside and outside!

Unfortunately, the city reacted too quickly and removed their armor and temporarily imprisoned them in Beiying.

Now he only hopes that King Tu Nan will lead the army of deserters into the city as soon as possible.

Only if the deserter wins can he survive!

"General Niu, the food is here!"

A soldier carried a food box to deliver the meal, setting out a large bowl of rice, a plate of meat, and a vegetable!

Niu Wei picked up the chopsticks and started eating the rice absentmindedly!

Suddenly the soldier whispered: "Go south to Muma Jiucheng Pass!"

Swish!

Niu Wei was excited, looked around cautiously, and lowered his voice happily: "Thousands of troops and horses, just a few people will return!"

This is the code given by Huangren after the surrender, and someone will come to contact him!

He has been waiting hard these days, and today he finally got the contact.

Unexpectedly, the deserters have infiltrated the military camp!

The soldier lowered his voice and said, "My lord has an order for you to gather a crowd to make trouble, incite the soldiers, and perform painful dramas to show your loyalty to the lord. At this critical moment of the war, Jiushan County is in urgent need of troops. As long as you act well, you will be able to regain control of the armor." After half a month, we should cooperate with each other from the inside and outside to attack Jiushan County in one fell swoop!"

"……promise!"

Niu Wei watched the soldiers leave, stood up and kicked over the food: "Damn it, there is sand in the rice, less than half a catty of meat, and there is not a drop of oil in the dishes. You are treating me like a prisoner!"

Whoa!

A group of soldiers rushed in with bowls. When they saw Niu's majestic look, they also threw their bowls and cursed.

"Damn, they took us as prisoners, we are also soldiers of the great cause!"

"Let the quartermaster come over here and see if this meal and food are for people to eat!"

"Withholding military rations and locking us up, I can't bear it anymore!"

"Yes, I can't bear it anymore. If I continue to be locked up like this, I will go crazy!"

Some Niuwei brought back soldiers and immediately started shouting!

Throughout the camp, the surrendered soldiers made a fuss and began to rush out!

Not only the soldiers who surrendered, but also the soldiers who escaped normally were also incited.

Without him, the food in the military camp would have been deducted, and in addition, they were defeated soldiers and had even worse food!

Seeing someone making a fuss, everyone couldn't help but follow suit!

Suddenly, tens of thousands of soldiers swarmed and rushed directly to the camp gate!

"Stop, everyone, stand up for me. Anyone who dares to step out of the camp will be shot to death!"

The soldiers guarding the camp were so numb that they pulled out their swords and guns one by one and blocked the gate of the camp!

Tens of thousands of soldiers bombed the camp, and even if they didn't have weapons in their hands, hundreds of people couldn't stop them.

"Come on, kill us, kill your brothers who fought alongside us!"

"We are also Daye soldiers, why are we treated like prisoners!"

"Longtou Pass was lost. That was because General Lu Chengye rebelled. What does it have to do with us!"

"We want to see the commander. We are not allowed to be detained like this!"

Tens of thousands of people are making noise and getting more and more violent!

wow wow wow...

Suddenly, two battalions of soldiers ran over.

One battalion is for swordsmen and axemen, the other is for crossbowmen, and the leader is a young man!

"Master Military Advisor is here!"

The guarding soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Niu Wei's eyes sank. Looking at the handsome young man, his eyes not only sank.

He had heard of this military advisor. As soon as he took office, he paid the soldiers enough military pay. He was very popular among the soldiers!

A soldier brought a stool. Wang Yuan stood on it, more than half his body taller than the audience, and picked up a wooden loudspeaker: "Quiet in the audience!"

shhhhhh...

buzzing...

Behind Wang Yuan were two battalions of a thousand men, with long swords unsheathed and bowstrings loaded with arrows.

Swish!

Many soldiers were shocked and quiet, and did not dare to speak again.

Niu Wei shouted: "The military advisor is so majestic. We just said there was a problem with the food, so you brought axemen and crossbowmen to kill us all!"

"That's right, the kitchen is deducting our food and wages, so we are not allowed to speak out!"

"Kill, kill us all, and let's see how you explain it to the court!"

"Yes, anyway, being locked up here all day is worse than dying. Kill us!"

Many soldiers followed suit, the noise became louder and louder, and people crowded towards the camp gate.

In the blink of an eye, the momentum that had just been suppressed immediately started again!

Wang Yuan pointed to the people who had spoken: "I only told everyone to be quiet, but you are confusing everyone with your monstrous words and asking me to kill you all. What is your plan to incite people's hearts, have ulterior motives, and have bad intentions?"

Many soldiers reacted and quickly distanced themselves from Niu Wei.

Some of the surrendered soldiers turned pale and no longer dared to speak a word.

They are all ordinary soldiers with average psychological quality. It's okay to chime in with a few words!

Faced with the urgent question, everyone was at a loss of ideas, and many people glanced at Niu Wei secretly.

"Master Military Advisor, the brothers have been imprisoned for so many days, and the kitchen has withheld food. They couldn't control their tempers and said some angry words."

Niu Wei's face changed, and he said with tears in his eyes: We are all soldiers of the great cause. We live and die for the great cause. Why do you treat us like this? Lock us up like prisoners and give us food with sand. You don't treat us as human beings at all. Wow Woohoo! "

"Woooooo!"

As soon as the painful scene was performed, many soldiers were infected and couldn't help wiping away tears and choking!

Wang Yuan's eyes darkened: "What is your name, and what is your original position?"

Niu Wei cupped his fists and said, "My subordinate Niu Wei is the former general of Longtou Pass!"

Wang Yuan's voice turned cold: "Since you are a fifth-rank partial general, you should know the military orders of the imperial court. If you lose such a powerful pass as Longtou Pass, according to the law, you should all be killed. Now the young marshal and I will make you eat and drink well, You even wrote a letter to the imperial court asking for forgiveness of your sins, but you almost caused trouble because of the food. You really don’t know how to live or die, do you really think that I don’t dare to kill anyone?”

"kill!"

The swordsmen and crossbowmen stepped forward, and the killing sound was deafening!

Plop, plop!

The soldiers in the field fell to their knees, and everyone shouted: "Sir, please spare your life!"

thump!

Niu Wei's expression changed drastically, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Being humble is wrong. Being humble is loyal to the great cause."

If you lose the battle, the court will punish you.

Like the fall of Longtou Pass, the great cause of the country and the country is in danger, and the defeated soldiers will be beheaded.

This harsh method of torture has been used in all dynasties to encourage soldiers to fight to the death.

Wang Yuan said coldly: "Here comes Niu Wei, a fifth-rank general. As a court general, he doesn't know the general situation. He incites soldiers and gathers people to make trouble. He pulls him down and beats him with fifty military sticks!"

"Military advisor, spare your life!"

Niu Wei quickly looked to the people around him for help.

After being beaten with fifty army sticks, he would have to lie down for several months even if he didn't die. How could he cooperate with the deserted people inside and outside?

But no one of the surrendered soldiers around him dared to help, and they watched helplessly as he was pulled down.

"Ah, ah..."

All the soldiers were silent amid the screams!

Wang Yuan's voice deepened: "Who is responsible for this camp? Improve their food to the same standard as the soldiers guarding the city!"

General Qian Fangjing, who was guarding the camp, nodded repeatedly, and all the soldiers felt warm in their hearts!

Wang Yuan said again: "Go to the military supply office and bring out one hundred thousand taels of silver. I will pay them!"

Fang Jing was shocked: "Master Military Advisor, they lost the Dragon Head Pass, why should they be given military pay?"

Wang Yuan said coldly: "The imperial court owed them military pay in the past. Even if the imperial court wants to punish them in the future, it will still be the same. The military pay must be paid!"

"military adviser!"

Many soldiers burst into tears!

Defeated soldiers are usually sent to the battlefield, and if they die, it will be over!

No general has ever given them military pay under such circumstances!

"promise!"

Fang Jing turned around, but instead of going to the military supplies office, he came to the Chinese army's tent to report.

General Huang Hao frowned: "Is the military advisor crazy to pay the defeated army?"

Wei Qingshan hummed: "The defeated soldiers are sent to the battlefield and asked to die to atone for their sins. This is too merciful for the military advisor!"

Wu Yuan and Zheng Fabei also expressed opposition!

Wu Ling said solemnly: "The words of the military advisor are the words of this commander. Whoever dares to forget it next time will be dealt with according to military law!"

Fang Jing broke down in a cold sweat!

Wu Ling's eyes flashed: There is not much money in the army, how could you not know this, sir? There are only [-] soldiers in the city, and two thousand have to be allocated to guard the defeated soldiers. This is a big problem, and he has never thought of a solution; now that sir has gone , and you still need so much money, you must have an idea!

The money will be delivered soon!

According to the military types, Wang Yuan read out the names, paid the soldiers, and patted the shoulders to encourage them.

Every soldier, holding the arrears of military pay, was in tears.

Some of the surrendered desert soldiers received their pay, feeling extremely ashamed!

In this era, the requirements of soldiers and common people at the bottom are extremely low!

As long as someone gives them enough food and some respect, they will be satisfied!

On the side, Wang Sihai, Wang Ergou, Guo Liang, and Guo Cang were pulling the soldiers to beat them.

He said that Wang Yuan was a common man and was not an official. He was only attracted by the young marshal because of his talent.

They will be at Dawangzhuang again. How good Wang Yuan is to them and how much money they pay every month.

The eyes of the envious soldiers shone brightly, and they wished they could go to Dawangzhuang to sell fish too!

At the same time, a group of people also found out the situation of many soldiers according to Wang Yuan's request!

More than [-] soldiers were paid until dusk.

Dinner is a higher level than lunch, making the soldiers' mouths full of oil!

After dinner, the camp was brightly lit, and the defeated soldiers gathered around in circles!

Many people are curious, why the military advisor is still here after the salary is paid out!

"Soldiers, although you are responsible for the fall of Longtou Pass, the fault is not yours!"

Wang Yuan said loudly: "The young marshal has written a memorial, asking the imperial court to pardon you! If the imperial court appoints the young marshal, it will definitely agree to his first memorial!"

"Oh!"

Many soldiers cheered and shouted!

The surrendering soldiers were relieved, but when they thought of surrendering to the deserters, it was like carrying a huge mountain on their backs!

Wang Yuan sighed quietly: "We are all from Chengzhou. Counting back three generations, no family member has been killed by the deserters. We deserters have a blood feud!"

"Correct!"

Many soldiers were stunned.

Wang Yuan pointed at a veteran: "Zhang Qi, I see you are gnashing your teeth with hatred. If you have any grudge against Huangren, come up and tell me!"
