Chapter 14 Will be counted

The mule army officially took office for the first time today, and his mule army did not dare to neglect. They all dressed neatly lined up the queue and waited for Chu Tianya's instruction.

Chu Tianya became an officer of the Song Dynasty. This was also the first time for a big girl to go to the sedan chair, and there was nothing to say to them. He talked about a few irrelevant empty words such as "representing the Song Dynasty", and let everyone go to do their own affairs. He got into the barracks and was ready to pack up some bedding.

Jiang Laosan came in and saw Chu Tianya making the bed by himself and hurriedly grabbed it. "Taibao, how can your military envoy do such a thing by yourself? Then why do you want us soldiers?"

Chu Tianya smiled and was so happy that he asked him to help make some bedding.

After cleaning up and stopping, Jiang Laosan came to Chu Tianya with a smile and stuffed a handful of things into Chu Tianya's arms, "Taibao, take it quickly!"

"What is it?"

"Your new official is in office, and the brothers are filial to you!" Jiang Laosan rubbed his hands and smiled

Chu Tianya took the bag of things, which was quite heavy. It was estimated that it was at least forty or fifty taels of silver. I can't help laughing and saying, "Is it your little fox who pretends to ask for bribes from them? Say, how much did you swallow?"

"Uh! ..." Jiang Laosan was really scared to play, and then said with a smile, "Taibao often rewards and has never treated the villain badly. Although the villain is greedy for money, he does not dare to swallow the benefits of Taibao until death? The villain did mention this to them, but in fact, they will also get together without the villain. This is a rule everywhere!"

Chu Tianya shook his head and sighed secretly: It's all rules for Jiang Laosan's words. It can be seen how corrupt the officialdom and army of the Song Dynasty are now... Well, I don't want to be unique here, so they can't tolerate me. Don't miss the current major events because they are entangled in a little detail!

"Well, I'll take it. Thank you to my brothers later, and say that I won't treat them badly in the future. Chu Tianya casually took out two silver ingots from inside and stuffed them to Jiang Laosan, "It's quite clever. I'll reward you. Tell the brothers that when you have time, I will invite them to eat a few tables of good wine in Taiyuan City.

"Thank you, Taibao!" Jiang Laosan was so happy that he almost drooled.

"However, such things can't be done in the future." Chu Tianya said, "I'm new here, and I can't be too swaggering."

"Yes, the villain remembered it."

Subsequently, Chu Tianya pretended to patrol his territory and supervised these mule troops. These are the only things to do, such as grinding noodles, cooking soup, cooking, and washing stables.

In fact, these things are really done by special soldiers and handymen in the barracks. However, now they have guarded the royal palace as Tong Guan's personal guards, and they have not recruited soldiers to use, so they act expediently to let the mule army work for them. If you really want to fight a war, the responsibility of the mule army is to protect the burden in the army. As soon as there is a situation, you must give full play to the mobility "advantage" of the mule cavalry - run!

"I didn't expect that I would be the leader of the Mule Army as soon as I came to the Song Dynasty. I'm really worried that someone will be there in the future, and they will also give me the nickname 'Chu Run Run'." Chu Tianya is really angry and funny.

This day is really boring, and I don't know how to get it. During this period, Jiang Laosan and more than a dozen soldiers went out to buy grain and forage, and gave Chu Tianya a sum of money, saying that it was a "rebate" given by the merchants selling rice and grain.

In just one day, Chu Tianya made more money here than a month in the prison city. He couldn't help sighing. No wonder those people sharpened their heads and wanted to drill into the government and barracks. It turned out that "money" was boundless!

Finally, in the evening, Chu Tianya came up with an excuse and was ready to go out of the camp to meet Ma. When he walked to the rear camp and was about to leave the house, Chu Tianya saw several sergeants who had won the Jie army in front of him, and they were also quietly sneaking out of here. Before going out, they all stuffed things into the hands of the gatekeeper. So the guards seemed to be blind and let them go out of here.

It seems that there are unspoken rules. At night, many people in the barracks sneak out and be happy. But the premise is that the "benefit fee" must be given to the doorkeeper.

"You really can't live without money anywhere!" Chu Tianya shook his head with a wry smile, bought a passage with a piece of silver, and successfully left the house and came to the Star Picking Building where he drank with Ma Yu yesterday.

In the same Accord yesterday, Ma Yan had already drunk half a pot of wine alone. When Chu Tianya came in, he didn't say anything. He still drank one cup after another.

"Ma Dujian, it's easy for you to get drunk like this." Chu Tianya took a cup and filled himself with a cup to respect him.

"It's good to be drunk!" Ma spread angrily put the wine glass on the table and said in a loud voice, "I'm going to get drunk today!" That's all. You called those two girls yesterday. I'm going to vent happily today!"

Looking at his situation, Chu Tianya must have been scolded by Tong Guan today. At present, he speculated that it was mostly related to the conversation between the two yesterday. It's just that Ma Yan is so excited now that don't discuss business with him for the time being.

So Chu Tianya followed his nature, drank with him, and talked about some military affairs.

When he was half drunk, Ma Qian suddenly sighed heavily, and then took a long breath, and then he shrugged his head and looked very depressed.

"Superintendent, what's going on?" Chu Tianya asked in a low voice.

Ma Jian waved his hand depretally, "I'm in prison. I've done it."

"What do you say?"

Ma Yu raised his head, shook his glasses and said, "After a long talk with you last night, I went back to think about it for a long time. I think it's better to let the Taishi know that the Jin people are about to go south to invade Song. Didn't the Taishi just send me to Jinying to discuss the handover of Shanhou Kyushu? In fact, who is willing to spit out the fat swallowed in his stomach? How can it be easy for Jin Guo to give us the land he got? I went there this time. Even if the Jin people are willing to negotiate with us, it is also suspicious in order to paralyze us, so that we have no intention of guarding and neglecting military defense. So I made advice to the Taishi that it is better for my army to make a plan and prepare for an ambush in advance. If the golden people don't come, it's best; if they break the contract and go south to invade, we will ambush them halfway!"

"Very good advice!" Chu Tianya suddenly said, "The Jurchin Iron Riding is really tough. It is difficult for my Song Bujun to compete with it head-on, and the cavalry is even more rare and weak. If you can use geographical advantages to ambush in advance, it is indeed a good tactic!"

Ma Yan's expression became more and more depressed and dull. He shook his head dejectedly: "But the Taishi doesn't think so. He scolded me on the spot, saying that I was worried about the sky and pretended to be smart. He was brave enough to fight recklessly, and he took the initiative to find a real woman! In case this angers them, which leads to the breakdown of the peace alliance and the war between the two countries, it will be the eternal sinners of the Song Dynasty, and no one can afford to eat the great sin of this day!"

"Oh..." Chu Tianya sighed helplessly, "These are actually in our expectations, aren't they?"

"I angered the master in public today, and there must be no good end." Ma Yu said, "Today you also heard that he asked me to lead the 400-step army and the 100-horse army to conquer the Xishan thieves. Do you know how many thieves there are in the Xishan area?

Chu Tianya shook his head.

Ma expanded with a wry smile, "In recent years, because of the joint destruction of Liao by Song and Jin, the war in Yanyun, Hebei Province has been in chaos. Many ordinary people in Han and Liao have lost their homes and become displaced people. There are also some deserters who have scattered and cut off their way back, so they gathered in the roaring mountains and forests to occupy the mountains as bandits, so the land of the two rivers. Thieves are standing in a lot of cottages. Up to now, in the Hedong area, Taiyuan Prefecture, plus the western foothills of Taihang, which is adjacent to the hometown of Liaoning, there are a total of nine mountains and eighteen thieves. It is mainly concentrated in Xishan and Taihang Mountain. The Taishi sent me to fight for the thieves in Xishan. There are 18 stockades there, which are connected to each other in series, and all the other stockades come to help. The nearest village called 'Shang Cave' alone has six or seven thousand. The Taishi led tens of thousands of troops to Taiyuan for a long time, and did not talk about Ping Koto, but now he only gave me 500 soldiers and asked me to suppress the bandits. Isn't it obvious that I was going to die?

After listening to this, Chu Tianya frowned and fell into meditation.

"Chu Tianya, since you are resourceful, can you teach me how to deal with it?" When Ma Yu said this, he lost any airs and temper, which was similar to a helpless plea.

Chu Tianya's eyes opened, "Yes!"

Ma Yan was suddenly refreshed, "Talk about it!"

At that moment, he picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Chu Tianya for the first time, and said more politely: "Please teach Ziyuan!"

"It's all heavy." Chu Tianya politely replied to him and said, "My method is to make a plan!"

"How to make a plan?"

Chu Tianya said, "The Taishi only gave you 500 soldiers to fight and suppress Xishan, which undoubtedly let you die. In other words, he has the heart to kill you and no longer trusts you. It's just that because of the past or something else, I didn't kill him in person.

"That's right, I can pay attention to it..." Ma Yan nodded his eyebrows tightly. "I have been following him for many years, and I have great achievements in the east and west, and there are people in the victory and victory army. Now I haven't committed any serious crime. In order to avoid the fluctuation of the army, it is not convenient for him to kill me openly. But I know that he is a man. As long as he really offends him, he will definitely die! ...This time, when Ma talked about the matter against the State of Jin, he undoubtedly touched the forbidden place in the heart of the master. He wished to kill me on the spot!"

"That's right... I said yesterday that the Taishi was ordered by the imperial court to negotiate with the State of Jin about the handover of the state and county. If there is a sudden war now, he can't afford it. Chu Tianya said, "So, no matter who it is, if he mentions half the word 'war' in this matter, he must be furious - in other words, it is his child who is most afraid of the war between Song and Jin!"

"That's right. In fact, I know the truth very well, but I just can't help it. I can't bear to sit and watch my Song sit and wait for death, and let the real women slaughter at will!" Ma's teeth bit his bones and bones, "That's it, and it's useless to say more. The left and right masters are going to kill me and then it's fast. What should I do? I still hope Ziyuan can teach me?

"What I said is that after the prison took away these 500 soldiers, I will never come back." Chu Tianya raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "If you fight with the 18 villages in Xishan, you will definitely lose if there is such a huge gap in troops. At that time, the prison will either die in the battle or come back and be executed by Tong Guan in the name of defeat. Instead of doing this, it's better to go out and join the Xishan Rebels!"

"What?" Ma Yu's eyes suddenly widened, "My grand general of the Song Dynasty can only catch thieves. How can I become a thief by myself?"
