Chapter 9 Hostility Around

The best mutton rolled with the water in the iron pot, and the fragrant aroma kept coming out of it and into each sergeant's nostrils, so that everyone couldn't help always turning their eyes to that side, and some people kept swallowing saliva. You should know that these soldiers have not seen so much meat for many years. Now that meat is close at hand, how can they not be moved?

What moved the soldiers more was a wooden box at Xu Jinghong's feet. The silver in it shone with dazzling light in the sun. This is really hundreds of taels of silver. Xu Jinghong looked at the crowd constantly showing a greedy look and smiled with satisfaction. He knew that he had hung up everyone's appetite.

"Deputy of the Tian team, let you and Geng Zhong distribute the silver." After a while, Xu Jinghong finally waved his hand and gave the order.

Everyone can hardly believe their ears. Will the silver in this box be for themselves? But soon, reality told them that this was indeed true, because Tian Dahu and others had put the ten or two pieces of silver barley in their hands. Every soldier who got the silver couldn't help rubbing the surface of the silver with their hands, and everyone's face was full of surprises.

Ten taels of silver, which is the military money that the sergeants could get in the past year, and now they haven't received so many silver taels in five years, which makes everyone have a dream. However, after discovering that this was the truth, everyone looked at the new team gratefully. At this moment, everyone had admitted that the teenager was the leader of their own.

After everyone took the silver, Xu Jinghong pointed to the churning soup pot not far away and said, "Guys, from today, your food will be bought from the outside, and the poor food used in the past can be put aside!"

Everyone looked at the cauldron and the white mutton cooked there, swallowed a heavy mouthful of water, and then cheered together. Everyone has indeed faded out of the food in the barracks. Now that it has improved, everyone is naturally happy, which is more appetizing to everyone than giving them ten taels of silver.

Xu Jinghong smiled faintly: "However, giving you this money and giving you better food are not free of charge. I need you to exchange your hard work in exchange for this. Starting from tomorrow, our team's drills will be restarted. I hope you can do your best to do every requirement. If you can do it, the team will prepare rich food for two meals a day. But if someone is lazy, refuses to practice, or finds that he can't meet the requirements during the inspection, it's no wonder that our team is showing mercy to him.

"Don't worry. Since we have food, we won't just eat meat and do nothing. We will definitely satisfy you!" Immediately, the soldiers shouted loudly, in exchange for the unanimous approval of others.

"Okay, from tomorrow morning, you should practice according to the deputy of the Tian team and don't slack off. If you can do all this better then, I won't be stingy with money and these foods!" Xu Jinghong nodded with satisfaction: "Now, you should eat first, have a good night's rest, and prepare for the practice tomorrow!"

The sergeants immediately ran to the soup pot over there and began to eat the mutton that they had not eaten for several years. The whole barracks were very enthusiastic. Xu Jinghong and Xiong Geng turned into their separate barracks, where several other dishes had been prepared. Although sometimes we should pay attention to living equally with subordinates, sometimes we need to keep some distance. Xu Jinghong's grasp of this scale is still very appropriate.

"The team is doing, and depending on the situation, the brothers will soon adapt to this new change." Xiong Geng smiled.

"Who can't adapt to the money to take and meat to eat?" The old dog also smiled and said, "Is it just that they really do their best in practice? Don't let them be completely lazy because of their slackness over the years.

"That's not so much. I think the deputy Tian team knows their situation best." Xu Jinghong glanced at Tian Dahu and said, "Although brothers don't practice much, it's common to fight with you, so their bones should still be well maintained, right?"

"The team is really looking at things accurately." Tian Dahu nodded and said, "Although some training has been abandoned, the brothers at least look like soldiers. As long as they practice hard for a few months, they should be effective."

"So I'm relieved. There are still about two months to practice for us. I hope it's too late." After saying this, Xu Jinghong nodded and nodded the dishes in front of him and said, "Come on, don't be restrained. Let's eat together."

After a period of time, the fifth team led by Xu Jinghong had a new change. Early every morning, 50 sergeants ran out of the barracks under the leadership of Tian Dahu and ran around the whole camp. Then, when they were three poles on the sun, they would come to the school yard to practice martial arts according to Tian Dahu's meaning, and the whole team Shape. After three or five days of practice, these soldiers have changed from being loose to an army.

What happened in the team was not deliberately concealed, nor could it be concealed from other teams around, so the news quickly spread out and reached the ears of Luo Dongluo's guard a few days later.

After hearing that Xu Jinghong not only did not suffer any difficulties there, but subdued the sergeants under Tian Dahu, Luo Dong almost couldn't believe that it was true. But the situation of the fifth team is obvious to all, which makes him not know what to say.

Originally, Luo Dong thought that if Xu Jinghongzhen stood there, he would deal with him with the military discipline of the team, but now it seems that this can't be done. Although he also heard about Xu Jinghong's food from outside to reward the whole team, it was not wrong for the other party to buy it with his own money.

Of course, Luo Dong can also forcibly order that food outside is not allowed to enter the barracks, but then he will offend many people, which is not what he wants to see. You know, now the food in the barracks has made many people unable to swallow. Some people with spare money have entrusted people to buy food from outside. If he changes because of his words, I'm afraid that many people will hate Luo Dong to death, and even someone will even attack him. So he had no choice but to put up with it.

As for the rumor that Xu Jinghong sent money to the soldiers, he could not find out. Even if this really happens, as long as there is no real evidence, Xu Jinghong can't help it. How can those soldiers who received money spit out the money and correct their own money?

With no choice, Luo Dong had to go to Dutong of Xuanzi Camp, and his top boss Lou Guanhai asked for help. You know, it was him who let himself find a way to deal with Xu Jinghong. Now that there are difficulties, he naturally has to come to the leader for help.

After listening to the other party's narrative, Lou Guanhai couldn't help frowning: "I really can't see that Xu Jinghong still has such a wrist that he controlled the whole team in just a few days. It's not easy to touch him now.

"Lord Tong, how should we deal with it? If this is the case, Xu Jinghong has to say that even other teams will be restless because of them. You know, they took the meat to the barracks and cooked it, and the fragrance floated to other people's side, which made many soldiers not fill up. Many teams have come to raise concerns to the last general, saying that the soldiers are no longer satisfied with the food.

"Well, these damn guys! They never need to go to war. We in the Song Dynasty have to spend money to support them, but we have to be so picky about food. What do they think they are? Give me the order. No one can complain. If you want to complain, just complain that you don't have a good team. Lou Guanhai is a little unhappy.

"But it's not enough to make Xu Jinghong make such a scene. Is it possible for Lord Dutong to give an edict to keep the food outside from entering the barracks, so that there will be a lot of trouble?" Luo Dong suggested that he did not dare to do this, but hoped that his boss could do it.

"No, this range of involvement is really too large." Lou Guanhai was also well-Ked and immediately rejected this statement: "You don't want to think that Xu Jinghong, a mine slave, got money to buy meat and vegetables all day long. Someone must be supporting him behind his back, and he has a close relationship with Governor Liu. Do you think there will be nothing wrong with this?"

"What Dutong means..."

"I'm afraid that Liu Mo wants to find an excuse to clean up all of us so as to control the Yunzhou Guard, that's why he let such a guy into the army. He is very clear about military pay, so he wants to divide us through such a move to find sufficient evidence. We must not give him this opportunity. So let them go in advance. I don't think Liu Mo can continue to provide them with food. If there is no harvest for a period of time, it will stop.

"Then do we have to wait to deal with Xu Jinghong?"

"Yes, I think the opportunity will come soon. We can justly drive him out of the army without fear of Liu Mo's obstruction."

"What's the way?" Luo Dong immediately asked with interest.

"This, you will know then." Lou Guanhai did not answer the other party's questions, but waved to him with a smile and said, "You'd better go back and comfort those people now."

When the other party left, Lou Guanhai said a little unhappily, "This Xu Jinghong is really a tricky trouble. It seems that I have to deal with it carefully. I can't let him escape any more..."
