Water Margin people

Chapter 579 Gambling
Looking at the groups of soldiers cooking neatly, Zhang Shuye felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, as if he was the only one still thinking about resisting.

"elder brother!"

Suddenly, there was a shout that made everyone look at Shuibo, and Sun Lei was coming this way in a boat.

"Sun Lei!"

Zhang Shuye, Duan Chang, Xuan Zan and the others were stunned. Sun Lei was the absolute protagonist of today's Liangshan banquet, why did he suddenly come to their prison camp?

Sun Lei smiled and led people to the shed where the meals were distributed. After carefully inspecting the meals, he affirmed the achievements of the logistics staff.

"Although these are captives, as long as they behave well, they don't have to be too harsh. They always have to eat this meat two or three times a month. Don't make people laugh at me, Sun Lei, for being stingy."

Sun Lei said to Zhu Fu in a loud voice on purpose, Zhu Fu is now in charge of all affairs of the captives.

"Yes, brother, little brother knows!"

Zhu Fu clasped his fists to Sun Lei and saluted.

Seeing this scene brought tears to the eyes of those captives. They had long forgotten that Sun Lei was an enemy, and they also forgot that they were captives. Now they looked at Sun Lei as if they were relatives, and only thought that Sun Lei was the one who treated them best.

"Taiwei Duan is indeed a trustworthy person. The ransom has already arrived. When are you going to leave?"

Sun Lei looked at Duan Chang and said with a smile, the Duan family didn't hesitate to get the one hundred thousand.

"Can I leave today?"

Duan Chang looked ecstatic. During this period of time, he thought about going back to Tokyo day and night. The days when he became a captive from a drunken Tokyo infantry captain was the worst day in his life. Going to Tokyo to continue to be happy and happy, Duan Chang only felt that his heart was about to jump out of excitement.

"I, Sun Lei, are the most trustworthy. You can leave at any time when the ransom arrives."

Sun Lei nodded, the money was collected, and he didn't need to feed anyone anymore.

"Then I'm leaving!"

Duan Chang said excitedly.

"Zhu Fu, make arrangements for him."

Sun Lei said to Zhu Fu.

"Taiwei Duan, I would like to remind you a few words. This time I took the money, and you can leave smoothly. If you fight against me again next time, even 100 million coins will not buy your life back."

Sun Lei looked at Duan Chang and reminded that he could be released once, but there would be no second time. This was also a reminder to Duan Chang not to talk nonsense when he went back.

Duan Chang nodded and agreed, he doesn't have the guts to fight Liang Shanbo now, he will pretend to be sick after returning to Tokyo, this time he won't be sick for a year or so, when everyone forgets about him, he won't Out of the house to show up.

Duan Chang is able to achieve the position of Infantry Captain, so he knows how to protect himself. As long as he does not make mistakes in Tokyo, he will always be Infantry Captain. As for being captured this time, it is a trivial matter, and activities can be settled. Maybe the emperor will issue condolences.

All the lieutenant generals watched Duan Chang leave with great envy. Among them, Xuan Zan was the most disappointed. He was different from Duan Chang. He had no relatives in Tokyo. There is not much money, and it is impossible for someone to send the ransom for him.

The crowd gradually dispersed, rested for half a day today, and returned to the camp to rest, and they will continue to cultivate wasteland tomorrow.

"Sun Lei, you are so vicious!"

Zhang Shuye looked at Sun Lei and said.

"Where is this in Zhangzhi County? Is it my fault that I give you meat? Why don't I let them eat Guanyin soil tomorrow? This saves money. I work to dig the soil, rest and eat the soil. I produce and sell it myself. , kill two birds with one stone."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"you……"

Zhang Shuye was so angry that his teeth itch, but there was nothing he could do.

The food and treatment of the imperial army and the Xiang army were very poor. It was rare to see meat that was not sent to the army. Now he feeds these prisoners two or three times a month, and these prisoners will soon be willing to stay. This conspiracy is too powerful.

"Zhangzhi County, I'm not talking about you. The soldiers fought bloody battles and shed their blood to get everything you court officials enjoy. How can you have the heart to let them starve or even go hungry?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shuye and asked, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were treated poorly, and there was even a saying among the people that "a good man should not be a soldier".

Zhang Shuye wanted to refute, but he couldn't open his mouth. The problem of poor pay for soldiers has always existed, but the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have tens of millions, which is also helpless.

"I know what you're thinking. Do you think that there are too many soldiers and too much military expenditure? There is no way to do this?"

"But the emperor spends money like dirt, and the high-ranking officials spend too much money. They have no money? It seems that it is not the case, right? Zhao Ji spent more than ten million yuan to build the Longevity Mountain; Cai Jing spent a few million yuan for his birthday? Do you want me to give another example? "

Seeing Zhang Shuye's dissatisfied face, Sun Lei said with a smile, Liang Zhongshu would send [-] guan every year on Cai Jing's birthday. of.

Zhang Shuye was speechless, he knew all these things, but what could he do?He was demoted several times because he offended Cai Jing. This time, he wrote a letter explaining that the officials were lazy and slack in politics, and he offended Cai Jing.

"Zhang Jizhong, you should know that I like you very much."

This time, Sun Lei called Zhang Shuye directly, which is a very formal name.

"Don't even think about it, I, Uncle Zhang, was born as a member of Song Dynasty, and died as a ghost of Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Shuye glared at Sun Lei fiercely and reprimanded.

"What's so good about the Song Dynasty? You have no constructive skills externally, and the emperor is fatuous and corrupt internally. Are you so brainless?"

"Think about the previous dynasties. Although they are all dead, they have had glory anyway. Qin swept Liuhe, drove the Huns to the north, and captured Baiyue to the south. The Han Dynasty also beat the Huns to run around, sealed the wolves and lived in Xu, and established the Western Regions The Imperial Palace. It was the same in the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic people were completely beaten and fled, and all nations came to court."

"Then you and I count, which one of you, Da Song, can do it?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shuye and asked.

"The important affairs of the court are not something you can judge by mere water!"

Zhang Shuye was unable to answer the question, so he could only speak bluntly.

"Okay, let's talk about the water pool, or let's make a bet."

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shuye and said with a smile.

"What are you gambling?"

Zhang Shuye asked.

"You are penniless, and you are still my prisoner. Of course you are the one who can bet. If you win, you will be free. If you lose, you will surrender to me honestly and help me achieve great things .”

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shuye and said.

"Don't even think about it!"

When Zhang Shuye heard Sun Lei's conditions, he immediately refused. He would never join the rebels.

"Then you are willing to die here?"

Sun Lei squinted his eyes at Zhang Shuye, but Zhang Shuye didn't answer. Of course he didn't want to die here, he still had too many ambitions to realize.

"How to bet!"

Zhang Shuye calmed down a bit, then gritted his teeth and asked.

"That's right! You can't solve problems with a dead brain!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Did you see that over there? That's the place where I, Liangshan, took in the victims. Where do you go now? The period is half a year. If you can persuade the victims to return to their original place, you will win, otherwise you will lose."

Sun Lei pointed to the tunnel of the disaster camp in the distance.

"A gentleman's word!"

Zhang Shuye looked at Sun Lei and said.

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Sun Lei laughed and replied.
