The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 519 Chapter 518 Liu Bei's fate (6)

Zhang Xiu and Yang Xiu rushed to Wancheng in Nanyang as quickly as possible. After Zhang Xiu's army surrendered, they all stationed in Wancheng, but they were not given the weapons and armor they should have. People are all Wei Xu's army, so they are also very idle these days.

I used to train a lot, but now I am bored, and when I am bored, everyone thought of an activity that is very suitable for entertainment, and that is gambling.

Gambling has existed since ancient times, but the most popular place to gamble is not among the people, but in the army.

The life of a soldier is boring. In order to pass the boring time, many soldiers like to gamble.In addition to killing time, you can also earn some money.Of course, if you win.

Naturally, Zhang Xiu's military camp was not immune to the common customs. Not only ordinary soldiers liked to gamble, but even their commander Hu Che'er also liked to gamble.And he is addicted to gambling.

At this moment, Hu Che'er and his subordinates were surrounding the big tent of the barracks. There was a lot of noise in the big tent, shouting constantly: "Shan! Shan! Shan! Shan..."

When the soldiers in the Zhuangzhuang pushed the twenty or thirty black and white chess pieces on the table to the other side of the table with wooden sticks in groups of two, the soldiers surrounding the table , all stared wide-eyed, then clenched their fists, shouting "Dan" at the top of their lungs.

However, after the last few groups of chess pieces were removed, there were only a handful of six chess pieces left on the table. It's all a long sigh.

And there was a burst of anger on his face, especially Hu Che'er among them.

"Snapped!"

With a dull sound, Hu Che'er slapped his thick palm on the table abruptly. With a gloomy face, he pointed at the soldiers sitting in the manor and said, "You fucking deceitful! You fired ten shots in a row, and even All double!"

When the soldier heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately stepped back a few steps, then knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "General, even if you gave me ten guts, I wouldn't dare to cheat. The general asked me to do..."

Hu Che'er is addicted to gambling, but he loses more than he wins, but he is a general, and he can afford to lose with such a small amount of money. It's just a matter of mood.But today's gambling gathering was too bad. He played ten hands in a row, but he didn't win a single bet.

Seeing that Hu Che'er was angry, the rest of the soldiers came forward to persuade them that people had never been cheated here, and even if they gave the banker a thousand courage, they would not dare to break ground in front of Tai Sui, it's just the general's bad luck.

Hearing people's persuasion and having a full meal, Hu Che'er felt that what everyone said was right, he was the boss here, and anyone who dared to cheat would just chop off his hand.

So, Hu Che'er calmed down, pardoned the soldier just now, and appointed another soldier to sit in the manor, saying that if he changed someone, luck might return.

The soldiers who were sitting in the villa just now expressed their thanks repeatedly as if they had received an amnesty, and hurried out of the big tent, probably not daring to come to play again in the future.

In fact, the nature of this gambling is still very fun, and it is also very simple, just guessing odd or even.The so-called banker is not used to take everything, but a decoration, and there is no odds.If one player loses, then the money he bet will belong to the winning side, and the dealer is just like a waiter.

After ten consecutive rounds, Hu Che'er didn't lose much, but he was in an extremely bad mood. After changing the dealer this time, Hu Che'er regained his energy and threw himself into the battle again.

This time, Hu Che'er took out another ten copper coins, put them all on the bill, and said, "I don't believe in evil, so why don't you make a bill this time?"

The ones who played with Hu Che'er were several of his military commanders. Seeing that Hu Che'er was in a bad mood, they all gave each other winks. Double here.

After playing and leaving, the new banker randomly grabbed a handful of chess pieces from a large pile of chess pieces, and put them in a pottery bowl. He took a serious look around, and finally fixed his gaze on Hu Che'er. Asked: "General, I opened?"

"open it!"

The dealer took away the pottery bowl, and then started to separate the chess pieces with wooden strips. At this moment, the whole camp erupted in clamor, and they stared at the chess pieces on the table with excitement.

"Shan! Shan! Shan! Shan..." Hu Cheer kept yelling with his eyes wide open.

However, when the last few chess pieces were left, it was clear at a glance on the table that there were still six chess pieces, which turned out to be doubles again.

"Damn it! Why is I so unlucky today? Eleven times in a row, all of them are double!" Hu Che'er was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, he took out some copper coins and threw them directly to the army commanders on the opposite side , It can be regarded as paying them the money that is on the table.

Several army Sima also looked at each other in blank dismay. Eleven hands in a row have been singles. They thought this would be doubles, so everyone unanimously put money on doubles. Unexpectedly, it was singles.

Several military commanders glared at the banker, cursing secretly in their hearts, no matter how they caught the chess pieces, they were still doubles.

The dealer also had an innocent face, he grabbed it casually, and didn't know if it was odd or double, but what happened, it was still double.

"Forget it, I won't play today, I'm not in the mood at all." Hu Che'er pushed away the crowd and wanted to leave.

At this time, one of the military commanders under him had sharp eyesight and quick hands, grabbed Hu Che'er's arm, and said with a playful smile: "General, just have fun playing, and this time I will play the last one, and it has been eleven consecutive games." Double, this time it must be single, doesn't the general want to win back all the money exported?"

Hu Che'er definitely wanted to win, and losing to these subordinates in front of so many people naturally couldn't hide his face, so he agreed and turned back to the gambling table.

At this time, the military Sima pulling the Hu cart gave the dealer a wink, the dealer immediately understood, secretly hid a chess piece in his hand, and then grabbed a handful of chess pieces seemingly inadvertently, but in fact they all It was already prepared, and he covered all these chess pieces under the pottery bowl, and then said: "You can place your bets."

Hu Che'er still took out ten copper coins and put them on the bill, while the other military commanders put the money on the double as usual.

Make a good move, and then the dealer starts to divide odds and evens, and the final result is odds.

However, Hu Che'er obviously won, but he didn't show joy. When the rest of the soldiers came to congratulate Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er sneered and said: "You bastards, you are lying, thinking I don't know?" ?Even if I win, there is nothing to be happy about. The money I lost to you just now is the right to treat you to a drink, and those on the table. I have been very unlucky for the past few days. It seems that today is not suitable for gambling .”

After finishing speaking, Hu Che'er turned around and walked out of the tent. Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain of the big tent was lifted, he suddenly bumped into Zhang Xiu. He bumped out, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

After Hu Che'er saw it, he ran out in a hurry, came to Zhang Xiu's side, and apologized quickly.

Zhang Xiu didn't think anything of it, but when he took a look at a large group of people gathered in the tent, and there were some Go pieces scattered on the table, he immediately understood what the group of people were doing in the tent. It's a gamble.

In fact, gambling is nothing to Zhang Xiu. Sometimes, he would gamble twice, but he is not addicted to gambling, but for entertainment.Hu Che'er is different. Hu Che'er is addicted to gambling. He gambles two or three times a day. He not only gambles at the gaming table, but also likes to gamble in everything. He often likes to say, "Let's make a bet". Words are Hu Che'er's catchphrase, so people gave him the nickname, King of Gamblers.

Of course, such a nickname can only be called in private.

Zhang Xiu grew up with Hu Che'er and knew Hu Che'er very well, so naturally he would not resent him for gambling.But today is different, Zhang Xiu came with Yang Xiu, standing beside Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu noticed that Yang Xiu had already noticed what was going on in the camp.

The prevalence of gambling in the military camp has always been a very serious problem. Some soldiers will even be implicated in gambling and go bankrupt, and some are relatively downcast, but there has never been a person who can make a lot of money.

Moreover, the gambling style has also seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the army, as well as the image problem, so the prevalence of gambling style in the military camp has always been a secret thing, and few outsiders know about it.

With a serious face, Zhang Xiu immediately winked at Hu Che'er, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and meet Master Yang?"

Hu Che'er didn't notice Yang Xiu standing next to Zhang Xiu until then, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The last general pays his respects to Lord Yang!"

"General Hu, you are welcome." Yang Xiu said lightly, then turned his face to Zhang Xiu, and said to Zhang Xiu, "General Zhang, since we have already come, then you are in charge here, weapons, battle armor, As well as ordnance, food and grass, will be delivered to the barracks tonight, General Zhang is well prepared, and we will set off tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Master Yang, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to arrange everything. I will gather outside the city on time tomorrow, and I will ask Master Yang to supervise at that time."

Yang Xiu smiled and said: "There is no need for supervision, as long as General Zhang can arrive there on time according to our agreed time. I still have something to explain, so I won't bother General Zhang."

"Let me see Master Yang off."

"No, I'm very close to here, General Zhang should stay and rectify the troops."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Xiu turned around and left, but stopped after walking two steps, turned around and said to Zhang Xiu: "By the way, General Zhang, a small bet is good for you, but a big bet hurts your body. Gambling in the barracks The wind is serious, and it’s time to rectify it, and don’t let your subordinates infect other troops with this ethos..."
