Wonderful Puppet

It is not surprising that such a padded jacket would freeze to death in the icy cold Jingbei.If there were all jackets like this, in a few days, the Jingbei Army would be able to win without fighting.

"Those moths in Beijing are really too shameless!" Xiao Wushang gritted his teeth in hatred.

Xiao Moyu chuckled lightly.

The dirtiest thing in this world is politics, and it would be too light to say "shameless".

All the soldiers were excited.

Luo Tianzheng stood there, clearly wearing the fur clothes that Zhen Miao personally sewed, but her heart was cold.

Adding reed flowers to the padded jacket is really just corruption in the officialdom, or is it aimed at this war?

If it is the latter, if this rebellion cannot be resolved quickly, it will be even more uncertain in the future.

"Jia Ming, you go back first, we need to discuss this matter."

Zhen Miao looked at Luo Tianzheng, and then lightly glanced at the soldiers.

The long-standing tacit understanding moved Luo Tianzheng's heart, and he said, "These are all my cronies, Jiaming, do you still have something to do?"

Hearing what he said, Zhen Miao nodded lightly, then turned her face and called out "Qing Dai".

Only then did people realize that the maid in Tsing Yi, who was called Qing Dai, was also carrying a burden in her hand.

Qing Dai stepped forward, put the bundle on the table and spread it out, inside was also a padded jacket, it was laid out side by side with the previous one, it didn't look any different.

The crowd became suspicious.

Even if what the County Lord Jiaming discovered was shocking, there's no need to bring two padded jackets, right?

Luo Tianxuan seemed to have thought of something, and his face became even more difficult to look at.

Zhen Miao took a few steps forward, pointed to the jacket and said, "I also discovered a very strange thing."

"What's strange?" Xiao Wushang couldn't help but leaned forward, looked at the cotton jacket, and then let out a little surprise, "This jacket seems to be full of cotton?"

Everyone gathered around, looked at it carefully, and then nodded.

"Yes, there are no reeds in this padded jacket."

"It's strange, since those moths in Beijing stretched out their hands to this batch of military padded jackets, don't they just eat half of them? Leave half of their conscience waiting to be fed to the dogs?" Xiao Wushang rubbed his chin.

Xiao Moyu sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's not because I don't want to, but I can't!"

"What did General Xiao say?"

Xiao Moyu rubbed the reed flowers picked out from the previous cotton jacket with his fingers, and said with a mocking smile: "The reed flowers are not inexhaustible!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yeah, it seems that those bastards are still regretting that they can't be greedy for all the money!"

"I really want to go back to the capital and cut those bastards to pieces!"

"Count me in, the brothers are working hard here. Don't expect them to help, but you can't drag your legs to death. General Luo, this battle can't be fought. Brothers wear such jackets, and they will freeze after a few days." Dead. How can I fight?"

"Jiaming, what else did you find?" Luo Tianzhen calmed down instead, raised his eyes and asked Zhen Miao.

When everyone heard this, they unconsciously looked at Zhen Miao.

Annoyance flashed across Zhen Miao's face.He pursed his lips and said, "At first, I thought the same way. Because of the rush of time, and it was impossible to collect so many reed flowers, that's why some jackets were mixed with reed flowers, and some jackets were not tampered with. This is the case. But because I have to collect all the jackets, wash them, and mend them, to prevent confusion. I planned to embroider the names of the soldiers on the collars of these jackets, and then I discovered something unusual."

Everyone's curiosity was aroused and they stared at Zhen Miao intently.

"Look, at the neckline of each jacket, there are words indicating the size of large, medium and small, right?"

The crowd nodded.

Each soldier has a different height and weight, so naturally there are sizes.

"Then I discovered an interesting thing. Some of the silk threads used to embroider sizes are red, and some are green. Those padded jackets embroidered with green threads have reed flowers mixed in them, while the red ones have no. When Zhen Miao said this, she looked at Luo Tianzheng, "My lord, that's all we found. There are still many wounded soldiers over there, so let's go there first."

She quickly left with Bai Shao Qing Dai, leaving only two cotton-padded jackets side by side.

There was silence in the room, and after a long time, someone finally hammered the table: "Damn it, who is colluding with the capital!"

If not all the cotton-padded jackets contain reed flowers, and it can also be said that the appetite in the capital is not so big, and they can't eat so much, then the two kinds of cotton-padded jackets have been marked in advance?

This is not a question of corruption, but to use this to eliminate some people!

"It's very simple. Didn't the county lord say that after collecting those cotton-padded jackets, you should embroider names on them? Just sort them into a list and see which ones were divided into reed-flower cotton-padded jackets. The matter will be clear at a glance. It's just that it's not appropriate to startle the snakes. , everyone, don’t show any strangeness for the time being.”

A day later, a list was placed in front of everyone.

None of the wounded soldiers of General Longhu wore reed padded jackets, and Luo Tianzheng's side was just the opposite. As for the former Jingbei garrison led by Yao Yegui, they had both.

Things are clear at a glance.General Longhu colluded with Beijing and Central officials, and in this way, prevented Luo Tianzheng from making further contributions.

"It's really shameless, General Luo, what should we do?"

Everyone was a little desperate, the matter had come to this point, even if the truth was found out, the news was sent back to the capital immediately, and the supplies were delivered smoothly, after such a long time, they would have already been powerless.

Luo Tianzheng's thin lips were tightly pressed, and she stood up abruptly, her voice without any warmth: "Anyway, let's clean up the inside first!"

He didn't want someone to stab him in the back while he was fighting hard.

"General, General Luo said that he has something important to discuss with you."

Jiang Dayong listened and smiled: "General Luo, please come in."

Then he turned his head to lieutenant general Li Yu and said, "After losing a battle, General Luo's attitude is much better."

Li Yu said with a smile: "It was just a youthful spirit before, and I was lucky enough to win a few games. Now that I know how powerful I am, I don't dare to show off my prestige in front of you, General."

Jiang Dayong laughed. Thinking of the current situation, his smile faded away, and he said in a dispirited voice: "So what if we know, after all, our army has suffered heavy losses."

"Don't worry, general, you are here. Are you still worried about not being able to call back?"

At this moment, Luo Tianxuan walked in.

In terms of seniority and status, he was under General Longhu, and said politely, "General Jiang."

Jiang Dayong regained his calm expression: "General Luo is looking for me, what's the matter?"

"I have something important to discuss with General Jiang." Luo Tianzheng glanced at Li Yu as he spoke.

Jiang Dayong said: "General Luo speaks up when he has something to say. There is no outsider in this room."

Luo Tianxuan smiled slightly, and said seriously: "General Jiang, this matter is related to the survival of our army. It is a strategy I came up with against the enemy. Before discussing it with you, it is not appropriate for anyone to know."

Jiang Dayong thought for a while and said, "Vice General Li. You wait here first, we will come out later."

He stood up and reached out to Luo Tianzheng: "General Luo, please."

This is his territory, he doesn't believe it.Luo Tianzheng dared to act recklessly.

Luo Tianxuan followed Jiang Dayong into the secret room.

"What's the matter with General Luo?" As soon as he sat down, Jiang Dayong asked impatiently, no longer hiding his true emotions.

He had endured this arrogant brat for a long time.

Luo Tianxuan sat down after him, and asked calmly, "The matter of the reed padded jacket. Does General Jiang know about it?"

"Reed flower padded jacket? What do you mean?" Jiang Dayong was at a loss.

Luo Tianxuan flipped his hand, and a dagger appeared.

Seeing this, Jiang Dayong retreated immediately.It's a pity that the secret room was narrow, and the incident happened suddenly, before he had time to shout out, the dagger was already pressed against his heart.

He struggled.But he was shocked to find that the hand pressing his shoulder was so strong that it didn't move at all.

It wasn't until then that he said angrily, "Luo Tianxuan, you actually concealed your true strength!"

That's right, since Luo Tianzheng came to Jingbei, he has won many battles and victories. The martial arts he displayed is undoubtedly high-strength, but more is his grasp of the right time and place, which gave him the impression that he is a Confucian general.

Who would have thought that a pampered noble son in his early twenties would have such terrifying strength.

No wonder he usually eats so much!Jiang Dayong thought of this strangely, and shook his head suddenly, the direction of thinking seems to be wrong!

At this time, he calmed down instead: "General Luo, what is the meaning of this? There are all my people outside. Even if you hurt me, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of here. Besides, no matter who you or I have casualties, the army There will be changes in Zhongding, do you want to be the chief culprit for the defeat of the Great Zhou?"

Luo Tianxuan sneered: "The culprit? I'm sorry, if this crime must fall on one person, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to fight with General Jiang!"

"General Luo, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

Luo Tianxuan threw the list in front of Jiang Dayong.

"General Jiang, do you know why our army suffered so many casualties in two consecutive battles?" Luo Tianzhen suppressed his anger and raised his voice slightly, "Because those Haoerlang who fought bloody battles wore padded jackets stuffed with reed flowers!"

"This, how is this possible!"

"Yeah, how is this possible? What's even more impossible is that those reed padded jackets would still recognize people, but they all fell into the hands of the soldiers under my command. If it wasn't for my wife's compassion for mending the padded jackets for those injured soldiers, I'm afraid Those soldiers who froze to death will never rest in peace!"

Luo Tianzheng was aggressive and his words were sharp. Jiang Dayong felt his heart was going to explode. After hearing the ins and outs, he said bitterly: "General Luo, whether you believe it or not, I don't know about this matter! I spent most of my life on the battlefield Come on, no matter what, I will not make fun of the lives of the soldiers!"

Luo Tianzheng's eyelids drooped, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

That's right, from the very beginning, after analysis, he guessed that Jiang Dayong might be deceived, and the reason why he pressed on every step of the way was to make him angry, quickly kill the person who colluded with Beijing, and then work together to fight against him. enemy.

Only in this way can the Great Zhou army have a chance.

Otherwise, if he forcibly killed Jiang Dayong and his men now, causing a mutiny in the army, it would be truly doomed. (to be continued~^~)
