back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 250
Shi Chengxing was taken aback, he naturally knew about this military discipline, but in order to please Lu Chenhuan, he chose to forget it for a while.Hearing Lu Chenhuan's accusation at this moment, Shi Chengxing looked extremely embarrassed, and said loudly: "The general knows his mistake, please punish him!"

Lu Chenhuan didn't say a word, and began to look at the Chinese army tent that Chengxing was in.There are not many furnishings in the tent, just a bow, a pair of armor, a bed, and a table.This style is in line with the simple style of the military.Seeing such a tent, Lu Chenhuan's favor towards Shi Chengxing increased a little bit.

After thinking about it for a while, I feel that there is no need to dwell on these details for too long. Now the main thing is to encircle and suppress water thieves.Drinking in the army is not an example in this small water village.If you really want to completely eliminate it, I am afraid it will not be easy.As the saying goes, after serving in the army for three years, a sow is better than Diaochan.There is no place in the army for these bloody men to squander their youth, and drinking has become the choice of many people. Shi Chengxing will never be the first, nor will it be the second.

Lu Chenhuan put aside this question and said: "I have no right to punish you for this matter, you can do it yourself. I just want to ask you now, why did your soldiers say that you are not in the water village?"

When Shi Chengxing saw that Lu Chenhuan did not pursue the matter of drinking, he was determined.But when he heard that the commander in this car brought up an embarrassing matter again, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Fatty Lu's intuition told him that things would not be so simple.Da Ma sat on the main seat of the Chinese army's tent with a golden knife, his eyes were always wandering on Shi Chengxing, and he felt hairy when he saw Shi Chengxing.

Half a moment later, after Shi Chengxing's inner struggle was over, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Xiang Zheng, the last general has something hard to tell. I'm afraid Xiang Zheng doesn't know it. In this pool of water, there are already eight water thieves gathered. More than a thousand people!"

Lu Chenhuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the "more than [-] people", and he was already very scared when he heard the yamen servant say that there were more than [-] water thieves.At this moment, it was okay for Lu Chenhuan not to withdraw his troops on the spot when he heard that there were [-] water thieves more than [-].After all, in front of other generals, it is necessary to keep calm and put on a show.

Lu Chenhuan tried his best to keep calm, but Shi Chengxing glanced at his heart from the corner of his eyes.Secretly said: "So this fat man also knows to be afraid..."

After realizing the details of Fatty Lu, Shi Chengxing also seemed confident, and said: "...It's not that the general is ineffective. He only has about five hundred people under his command. How can he defeat these water thieves? However, the end general has no other way except to die in battle to serve the country. But it doesn’t matter if the end general dies, there are more than 500 people under his command, and each of them has a family, once they die, how can the whole family survive?”

Shi Chengxing was also a little clever, he made his own cowardice into an awe-inspiring righteousness, he fought to the death knowing that he was invincible, and the reason for not fighting recklessly was actually for the sake of the soldiers under him.

Who is Lu Chenhuan, such a shrewd fat man can be fooled by such a small trick?When Shi Chengxing raised his tail, Fatty Lu knew whether he was going to shit or fart.He didn't bother to expose it, and asked: "Since the strength of the water village is so low, why didn't the water thieves attack?"

Shi Chengxing was stunned. He also thought about this question, but he was still puzzled.After carefully weighing the gains and losses, he said cautiously: "Maybe the water thieves don't want to anger the court. If the court gathers all the sailors in this water pool, it will be more than enough to wipe out the water thieves. It's just that the sailors are scattered. It's everywhere, it's not easy to gather..."

After hearing Shi Chengxing's words, Lu Chenhuan fell into deep thought.Why don't water thieves attack sailors?He definitely didn't want to anger the court, after all, there is still a big gap between officers and soldiers and thieves.If the imperial court is really angered, these water thieves will definitely be turned into powder by the little emperor's imperial decree.In the face of the huge state apparatus, these thousands of armed forces still appear to be weak and tight.In this way, it can be seen that there are capable people among the water thieves, who know what to do and what not to do.

Seeing that Fatty Lu was thinking, Shi Chengxing did not bother him knowingly.Sometimes when talking to a smart person, you don't need to complete the sentence, you just need to mention a little bit, and the smart person will finish the sentence for you.As a subordinate, the most taboo is to appear more capable than the leader in front of the leader.Especially when the leader is not the boss, but a direct supervisor.However, sometimes these hesitant words can also make smart people think wrong.After all, smart people are too smart, and when they think about things, they don't think in a good way. They always think too much about the dark side of people, so that they often scare themselves.

Fatty Lu belongs to this type, and his current thought at the moment is: "Could it be that these water thieves have the intention of rebelling? What's the purpose of not rebelling?"

In fact, many times, after becoming a scissors, I become involuntary.At first, I thought about fighting for a way to survive and occupying the mountain as king; later, I thought about how to keep my own territory in the face of other competitors.Even if you don't do it at this time, your subordinates will force you to do it, because everyone wants a way out.After occupying a large area of ​​land, it attracted the attention of the court and sent troops to suppress it. At this time, it was automatically upgraded to a traitor.

There is a saying that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.These water thieves, why not?When there were thousands of people in the past, the imperial court also regarded it as a banditry and sent Xiang troops to suppress it, but there was no more follow-up.Now that the number of water thieves has grown to more than 8000, the imperial court no longer pays attention to them. It will be very difficult to encircle and suppress water thieves when there are tens of thousands of them.

Fatty Lu naturally knows this truth. Now in his heart, these water thieves are no longer water thieves. The illegal armed forces of more than 8000 people are trying to rebel!
Thinking of this, Fatty Lu shuddered and asked hastily, "Do you know how many warships the water thieves have?"

Shi Chengxing was taken aback for a moment, he thought that the fat man would retreat in spite of difficulties, but judging from the current posture, it seems that he will not give up until the Yellow River!In order to make the fat man retreat, Shi Chengxing deliberately told the truth: "Xiang Zheng, as far as the general knows, this gang of water thieves has more than [-] warships, large and small, and countless small boats. Swords, guns, bows and crossbows, everything..."

Hearing this, Fatty Lu took a deep breath in his heart: "These thieves are more courageous than a water tank! No wonder the little emperor asked me to come here in such a hurry, it turns out that these thieves have really become popular..."

Shi Chengxing said with enthusiasm: "...But these thieves have merged dozens of times in order to snatch their respective territories these days. I don't know who is winning and who is losing now. The Flying Fish Gang, which was the most powerful in the past, doesn't know How much territory is controlled now..."
