Fu Song

Chapter 155 The Importance of Choice

Wan Fuyang raised his neck, but only a few drops of wine fell from the flagon. He put the flagon on the table, and reached out to lift the foot jar by his feet, but his hand was light, shaking, and there was nothing left.

Annoyed, he threw the wine jar on the ground, stood up, his body swayed a little, the wine jar rolled on the ground almost tripped him, kicked the jar to the corner of the wall, and there was a bang, but he didn't know it was broken Not broken either.

"Three mules." Half of his body stepped out of the door, and the cold wind forced him back, leaving only one head outside, and opened his mouth to shout.

A soldier trotted over, looked at Wan Fuyang, and said, "Captain, what are your orders?"

"Bring me another jar of wine, and besides, ask Ah Fu to make a whole duck for me, it needs to be fat." Wan Fuyang patted the door frame and said.

"Captain, the wine is gone." The third mule said, "What you drank today is the last jar. Niu Er went to Yuchuan to buy it. Even if it goes well, he will not be back until tomorrow!"

Wan Fuyang said angrily, "Is it so big that Siwu Village can't even find drinks?"

"The capital prison, I really can't find it." The third mule said with a mournful face: "The delivery team has been overdue for nearly ten days, and the grain in the stockade is only enough for three days. Get it back, and everyone will be hungry."

"You can't die of hunger!" Wan Fuyang pouted angrily, retracted his head, and slammed the door shut.

Of course he knew why the logistics supplies were not delivered in time.Because now the entire Shaanxi Road is preparing for a big battle!A large amount of materials are being delivered to the expected front line, and if more are sent to other places, less will be sent here.

Thinking of this, Wan Fuyang was very annoyed.

In his opinion, this is a feast, but he has no chance to share the food.Instead, he can only stay in a place like Siwu Village and drink alcohol, and now he doesn't even have to drink alcohol.

There are two battalions of soldiers and horses stationed in Siwu Village. There are a thousand soldiers in name, but if the vacancy is removed, it is only a little over nine hundred.This time the higher-ups drew troops and horses, Wan Fuyang didn't dare to be fooled, and dispatched [-] people with full quota.

Since Ma Xueshi took office as the appeasement envoy, he vigorously rectified the soldiers and horses on the Shaanxi Road. How many soldiers who drank the blood of soldiers were taken to the street outside the appeasement envoy and had their heads chopped off!As long as the number of soldiers is less than [-]% of the rated number, they will be dismissed immediately, and those who are less than [-]% will have to go to prison.

He, Wan Fuyang, was lucky. Although he was fearful in his heart, he was short-lived, but at that time, as a general of a battalion, there were more than [-]% soldiers and horses in the battalion, [-] people, and he only ate [-] people. The empty salary, so he was promoted.He jumped to the capital prison, and because of his good performance in the subsequent training, he was sent to Siwu Village.

This place is a place of the Fourth World War, and the Dingnan Army who occupied Yinzhou would come to test it from time to time. Although they pretended to be party members or bandits, who didn't know who?

If you want to take down Siwu Village, you don't have thousands of soldiers and horses, don't even think about it, even if Siwu Village only has a thousand soldiers.But who can hide the tens of thousands of personnel transfers?They really want to do this, but they are afraid that before their troops have reached halfway, the reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty around Siwu Village have already arrived here and are ready to fight.

After staying in the house for a while, the bored Wan Fuyang decided to check it out.He wasn't worried about the remaining [-] or so veterans, but the military discipline of the Xiang army that was temporarily transferred up was worrying. To put it bluntly, these people were just ordinary farmers who came up to make up the numbers.

It was only after Ma Xueshi took office that the twice-yearly drills of this army were once again put on the agenda, and the training began. Before, it had long existed in name only.

The cold wind was blowing, and the snow was falling. Standing at the highest point of Siwu Village, looking at the undulating mountains shrouded in white snow in the distance, Wan Fuyang wrapped his cloak tighter.

It's so fucking cold, damn Niu Er, he should be back tomorrow, is there anything else to say, but the wine must be brought back to Lao Tzu, or he will be sent to patrol outside when he comes back. , there is no need to think about it.

Not far away, on the only road, more than a dozen war horses came leisurely towards Siwu Village with their masters on their hunchbacks. The flags were flying. They were the scouts sent out by the village. They came every day, every morning Go out and return at night.

Annoyance is annoyance, annoyance is annoyance, but what should be done must be done well.

This is Wan Fuyang's rule.

It's also the insight he got from the last time he escaped the butcher's knife that beheaded the horse and was promoted to several levels of official positions.

Ma Behead is not that kind of pedantic guy, as long as he can afford it, and you can still do things, of course for him, he can still tolerate you, and he will give you a promotion without any scruples.

So, although I didn't get a chance this time, there will be more opportunities in the future!
I guess this time I didn't pay attention to it, and I was taken away a lot of soldiers and horses, because the last time I went up several levels in a row, some people were jealous.

It doesn't matter, just wait for the next opportunity.

Isn't your name Wan Fuyang?Parents have a good name, this is a blessing, there are many.

Watching the scouts get into the city gate hole one by one, Wan Fuyang walked back satisfied, it was another peaceful day.

In Yuchuan City, Niu Er was trembling all over. In one corner of the room was his wife and two children who were tightly bound. In front of them, a bloody steel knife was dripping with blood.

Right in front of him, another soldier who came back to buy with him this time was cut off with a sharp knife.

"Hero, if you want money, it's easy to say. I have some cash at home. I came back this time to buy it. I brought a lot of cash. If you want it, take it all, as long as it doesn't hurt our family." Niu Ershu Said loudly.

The people in Yuchuan have always been strong and tough, and they are relatively poor. Bandits and thieves are everywhere, but the law and order in the county town has always been relatively good. It is really rare to openly enter and murder people like this in the county town. .

Everyone in the room laughed.

Seeing them laughing, Niu Er became even more frightened.

Speaking of which, although he is also a soldier, he has never been on the battlefield. What he does has always been in charge of the logistics of the army. In this position, as long as the leader is coaxed and fed, he will naturally everything is fine.

Being able to buy such a three-entry courtyard in Yuchuan County is enough to show how fat this job is.

"Niu Erye, we don't want your life, let alone your money. On the contrary, we are here to give you money." One person walked across to Niu Er with a smile, sat down, and stretched out his hand to take out the money from his pocket. He took out a box, opened it, and pushed it in front of Niu Er.

Glancing at the contents of the box, Niu Er made a whipped cream. It was a stack of silver bills, and it was the silver bills redeemed at sight by Jinmanlou, the largest bank in the Song Dynasty. It can be exchanged, of course, the denomination is not very large, the largest is only a hundred coins.But such a thick stack of silver bills may be as many as several thousand.

"I, I, I, I, I'm just a low-level buyer, you guys, what do you want me for?" Niu Er tremblingly said.Sending so much money in front of him to let him do things, I'm afraid it's a deadly deal, Niu Er is still very clear about this.

"Er Niu has a lot of things to buy this time, and he will need people to send them to Siwu Village. I have prepared these manpower for Er Ye Niu." The visitor said with a smile: "Er Niu only needs to send these people Take it to Siwu Village, and make sure the time is right so that these people can stay in Siwu Village for one night, and all the money will belong to you, Second Master Niu."

"You guys, you're the army of peace!" Niu Er is really not stupid. Hearing this, he suddenly understood what the other party was going to do, and cried out.

"Niu Erye is really smart, I like to talk to smart people." The visitor said happily: "Niu Erye, you bought this yard in Yuchuan and a Zhuangzi's ten acres of land outside, but it cost less than five dollars. It’s just ten guan coins, with this money, you can go to Yan’an Mansion or even Jingzhao Mansion to buy a bigger house, a bigger Zhuangzi, and from then on, you will be rich!”

Someone came knocking on the small box containing the banknotes: "Second Master Niu, there are really not many opportunities to choose in life. If you choose the right one, you will succeed in success. If you choose the wrong one, Lord Yama is waiting for you!"

While talking, the man glanced at his companion, and the bloody steel knife in his companion's hand was immediately pressed against Niu Er's wife's mouth. Niu Er's wife couldn't even cry and could only keep her eyes open. Eyes of fear, looking at Niu Er.

Niu Er's body trembled violently, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "Okay, you let them go, and I promise to take you in."

The visitor clapped his hands and stood up, "Okay, Second Master Niu is really refreshing."

Picking up the small box containing the bank notes, walked up to Niu Er's wife, stuffed the small box into Niu Er's wife's arms, then turned to look at Niu Er and said, "Niu Erye, wait until we get the heir." Wuzhai, you and your wife and children can go now. But now, I have to wrong them for a while, my brothers will disturb your house for a few days, is it okay? Now we are partners!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Niu Er bowed his head and said.

The next day, dozens of mules and horses, carrying their loads of stuff, embarked on the journey to Siwu Village amidst the flying snow seeds, and Niu Er was the leader.With sunken eyes and haggard face, he seemed to have not slept for several days, and beside him, the one leading a mule was the guy who led the murder and threatened him yesterday.

At the same time, in the snow-covered mountains, a team of up to [-] people was struggling to march on the trail, and the leader was Li Hao.

Their goal is also Siwu Village.
