Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 45 The charm of Zhongping lies in...

"What's wrong with the general? I've been sitting there since the beginning, without saying a word."

"I don't know. It seems that the general is not in a good mood. Let's not touch this bad luck."

The two lieutenants gathered together and whispered.

Zhang Xiu, who was mentioned by them, was sitting alone on the mound, with his back to the crowd, his tall and strong figure felt somewhat bleak at this moment.

"Uncle... Uncle, you are so confused!" Zhang Xiu was heartbroken and took a sip of wine, tears glistening in his eyes.

Bitter wine hurts the throat.

Zhang Xiu really couldn't figure it out, why did Zhang Ji defect to the enemy, it was completely unreasonable?His parents died early, and he was brought up by his uncle since he was a child. It can be said that Zhang Ji is his real father and his role model in his heart.

Even the worst fantasy in his mind when he came all the way, only stayed at Fan Chou's rebellion and his uncle had to surrender.

How come the reality is completely the opposite?

No, I don't believe it, Uncle must have a reason!Maybe this is my uncle's trick or maybe... Yes, my uncle must have surrendered falsely!It must be so!

Here Zhang Xiu is still brainwashing himself, while Zhang Ji in Chang'an City is once again caught in the choice.

"You said that the soldiers in the city have been agitated these past few days, and there are signs of rebellion?"

Zhang Ji's hand on the table tightened instantly, and the muscles in his entire arm swelled up. He leaned forward and stared at Li Meng in front of him.

"Where does the little one dare to lie to the general? To be honest with the general, the young one was also under the command of Xiangguo, and later entered Chang'an, and then was assigned to General Li..."

When Li Meng said this, his mouth seemed to be a little dry. He swallowed, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although I am now serving as a guard in Chang'an, the young one is from Xiliang after all, and I often suffer from those Chang'an soldiers in the army. The people in Luoyang are bullying, and they are not treated by the superiors, so they can only hold a group with their fellow Xiliang in the army."

Li Meng flinched, eyebrows drooping, and continued: "The general also knows that His Majesty issued an order to repair that city wall a few days ago. , shortened to one and a half months."

"There is a lot of work every day, even us Xiliang people can't bear it. Besides, there are so many deductions on the top. Not only the monthly money promised before is gone, but even the food has to be searched. Every rice soup, how can we make people live?" ?”

Li Meng sighed heavily.

"Monthly money?" Zhang Ji twitched his ears, raised his interest, and asked, "Why? Serving as a soldier in Chang'an, do you still have money?"

He has been in the army for so many years, and he has never heard of any court that would pay soldiers.

Li Meng didn't expect that Zhang Ji would care about this issue. He hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth: "The imperial court doesn't talk about monthly money. This is what we say in private."

"The monthly money is the compensation money for the living. According to the Shaofu... no, according to Taishi Ling, our soldiers guarding the city face the enemy, uh, under the general's command, they have a heavy burden and heavy responsibility."

"When it comes time to fight hand-to-hand, those of us 'although we don't have the name of a general, but we are a general', we should enjoy the same salary as the commander-in-chief of him."

Zhang Ji was stunned, silent for a long time, and said sarcastically: "What's the 'monthly money', it's just money to cheat your loyalty. I don't believe that Zhong Boheng can really give the same salary to you soldiers."

After he finished speaking, he clasped his fingers on the table and knocked subconsciously.

Seeing this, Li Meng felt a little nervous, and quickly brought the topic back: "The day before yesterday, the leader of the army deliberately bullied us, and we couldn't bear it anymore, so we killed the grain officer. Although the superiors were afraid of being held accountable, they kept the matter a secret. But I can't hide my panic in the future, and under investigation, we will all be made things difficult."

"The little ones voted for Chang'an just to live a better life. Now it's like this...we are really unbearable to be bullied, so we have to rebel!"

"Oh?" Zhang Ji stood up and walked slowly in the room with his hands behind his back.

Li Meng hunched over and followed behind him, fearful, the toes in the shoes kept scratching the ground, and the shoes were almost torn by him.

Zhang Ji turned around, stopped, and stared at Li Meng with lightning-like eyes: "If there is an uprising, please wait until you gather the crowd, and Chang'an will be in chaos. Why do you need me? Are you afraid that I will take you and ask for credit from the court?" ?”

Li Meng had already drafted this question, and he pretended to be apprehensive, but his tone was sincere: "I have heard of General Li's name since I was a child. Who doesn't know the prestige of the general in the north?"

"We wait for a group of dragons without a leader. Even if there is an incident, it will at most cause some turmoil. But if there is a general as the commander, we will wait for thousands of people and attack the court by surprise. This Chang'an..."

Zhang Ji's eyebrows twitched, and he was already a little moved. Li Meng's unintentional sentence of "Northern prestige" once again aroused Zhang Ji's humiliation at being defeated by Zhongping, as well as the fear of being dominated.

Having suffered a big loss from a "sleight of hand", this time he couldn't help but be careless: "It's easy to say, but the imperial palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it is delayed, once the imperial court counterattacks..."

Li Meng heard that Zhang Ji's words were slacking off, and said while the iron was hot: "General, why don't you encircle the palace while all the officials are in court?"

"Most of the generals guarding Chang'an today are relatives of nobles in the palace. They are vulnerable to a single blow. The Habayashi Army guarding the palace...if they are caught off guard by ten thousand people like me, they may not be able to win back."

"The advantage is waiting for me, General!"

Li Meng's last sentence seemed to have some magical power. Zhang Jiben was still a little hesitant, but now he slapped the table and said excitedly, "Just do what you say!"

"but……"

"What?" Li Meng was overjoyed to hear Zhang Ji's turning point, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Could it be that I missed some flaws? It shouldn’t be, what I said is true, and I really want to turn against it...

"...How much monthly money did Zhong Boheng send you?"

Zhang Ji couldn't hold back in the end, and asked a question in a strange tone that was half curious, half admiring, and a little disdainful.

Li Meng was relieved, and answered seriously: "In the beginning, each person was paid a hundred dollars a month. After winning the battle to defend the city, each person received a thousand dollars. There are also other subsidies for the disabled."

Seeing Li Meng's expression relax, Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that if it was true what the man said, then it's time for him to play...

He withdrew his thoughts, thinking about Li Meng's words, and subconsciously compared himself.

No wonder those soldiers seemed desperate when they attacked the city...

This kind of Boheng's method of buying people's hearts is clever.

only……

Zhang Ji snorted coldly, and said in a strange way: "Chong Boheng can only talk big words, and he promised to give you the same salary, but in the end, he just gave out thousands of dollars to perfunctory?"

Li Meng's expression was complicated.

General, are you serious about your tone of envy, envy and hatred?
Shaofu means that we will also receive money from the imperial court, and it doesn't mean 'equal salary'?

If you really want to say that the salary is equal, do you think anyone will believe it?Then we are not at ease, we are not fools.

Besides, the Shaofu has only been a Shaofu for dozens of days, and has not received the monthly payment from the court at all... The monthly money for the first day was still provided by the Shaofu himself.

There is no need to attack this.

Li Meng thought to himself that he knew how Zhang Ji lost.

They are willing to follow Zhongping because they want Zhongping to treat them as human beings.

Zhang Ji will probably never understand this.
