Chapter 1314 Training
Zhou Wen, who originally thought Zhao Hu was buying materials for himself, blushed a little embarrassed when he heard that he knew it was for the army.

"Hehe, no problem, I can give you all of these, which is more convenient for us to pack and go back, but the price can only be calculated after the rally is over." The leader of the chef business group said hurriedly.

Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "I don't have any money, so I can only exchange it with a good horse. How about it? Are you willing?"

The leader of the chef business group thought for a while, and thought that if he brought back the war horse and sold it, it would be money, so he nodded immediately: "Okay, then we will calculate the value and see how much we can exchange for it."

The rally ended soon, and the Feimu Banner League returned home with a large amount of weapons and food, while the arms merchant group and the grain merchant group changed their careers as herdsmen and drove away with thousands of horses.

The brothel business group left as they came, but the laughter from the car made it clear that they were full.

More than half of the gold coins circulating in the market this time went into the pockets of their business group.

The chef business group is the easiest way to go home. In addition to the empty carriage, there are one hundred more excellent war horses.And this was obtained by exchanging nearly [-] beef cattle, hundreds of pork pigs, nearly [-] sheep, nearly a thousand chickens, ducks and geese, and all kitchen utensils, tableware, and condiments.

Of course, they also came back with a good harvest, and almost all the gold coins that were deducted from the market this time were snatched by the brothel business group into their pockets.

The soldiers who had spent all their gold coins could only calm down and wait for the next month's salary payment.

Not wanting these soldiers to be idle, Zhao Hu took the opportunity, as the highest officer, to order the squad leaders to start leading the team for training, and set a rule that every seven days, the team with the best performance would be rewarded with five jars of wine and free food on the day .At the same time, the team with the worst performance will work for them for seven days.

The soldiers, who were grieved at the fact that they could only live on simple food and drink in the future, were salivating and screaming when they heard that they could still eat delicious food and drink fine wine if they performed well.

They knew very well that Zhao Hu had kept everything from the chef business group. There were chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and everything, and the variety and quantity were very rich.

While the non-commissioned officers were attracted by the delicious food, they were even more excited about the latter reward.

Hey, as long as you are the first, you can enjoy the life of a lieutenant in advance. Look how comfortable the life of the second lieutenant with five personal guards is!
Some non-commissioned officers who have rivals even pray to God to bless them to be No.1 and their rivals to be the last, so that they can enjoy the service of the other party, haha, just thinking about it makes me laugh.

Just like that, Zhao Hu gave an order, and the 25 teams immediately rushed out like little tigers, screaming, and began training with all their might.

Zhao Hu, who had nothing to do, wanted to train with him at first, but was stopped by Dio: "Sir, the fact that you bought horses and weapons here will be known to the alliance soon. You should choose a few horses to give The chief officer of the alliance, it’s good to have a good relationship. If you have a good relationship, maybe you can get a batch of supplies in advance.”

Hearing this, Zhao Hu nodded speechlessly, signaling Dio to prepare.

"Sir, twenty fine horses have been selected, and they are the best twenty among the remaining hundred horses." Odie reported.

Sun Jie, who noticed Diou's actions, had already brought the two brothers Locke Luofei and Zhou Wen to the brigade headquarters, and they were going to go out with them.

"Including my horse, you and Sun Jie, plus two support staff, will take the horse with me to the county seat, while Zhou Wen, Locke, and Luo Fei stay where they are, and take all the gold coins with them." Zhao Hu said Picking up the saber that was set aside, he said.

Dio wanted to dissuade, after all, the horse of the officer is not of the same grade as the other horses, but he thought that it would be more beneficial to send it out, so he kept silent.

Anyway, close to the grassland, what horses can't get it?
As for "all gold coins", it sounds like a lot, but in fact it is just a hundred pieces given to Zhao Hu by the brothel merchant group.

Zhou Wen was originally reluctant, but Dio secretly whispered something in his ear: "The officer is afraid that the soldiers will misunderstand that he will not come back, so he kept you here." He happily accepted Zhao Hu's order, Because I am now the representative of the chief.

Zhao Hu and his party consisted of 13 people, 21 fine horses, and four empty carriages, so they drove out of the brigade headquarters.

The soldiers around all saw this scene and couldn't help muttering to themselves.

This second lieutenant will not be the same as other officers, will never return?

Although seeing that Zhou Wen, Locke, and Luo Fei had all stayed behind, he was a little relieved, but he was still worried.

Although the training is still going on, morale has dropped, and everyone seems a little perfunctory.

This time returning to the city is not like when you came here, you need to find the direction carefully. You are afraid of getting lost, and you will never forget it once you walk through it. Zhao Hu, who is equal to the super radar, leads the people to walk in a straight line.

I don't know if it was because of walking in a straight line, or because there were so many empty cars and horses. Anyway, it took Zhao Hu just over a day to reach the county town for the journey that originally took two days.

After Zhao Hu entered the city this time, with the help of Diou and Sun Jie, the chief officers of the regiment who stayed in the county, including several chief officers of the fifth brigade, each presented a horse. Of course Zhao Hu's good horse was Those who belonged to the regiment captain, and then through the major staff, asked for help to invite all the chief officers to the banquet.

From Zhao Hu and Dio's point of view, one hundred gold coins is enough to hold a banquet in this small place.

The obese regiment captain who was stroking Zhao Hu's steed, smiled at the major staff officer who came to report on the banquet: "Although these horses are not worth a lot, I can see his intentions. It seems that this second lieutenant is still very knowledgeable Interesting. Since he understands the ways of the world, let's not embarrass him too much, after all, we are all colleagues, let me tell everyone, this banquet should be there to save face and everyone will be present."

"Yes, that's why a broad-minded person like you doesn't care about him." The major flattered him with a smile, and then said as if remembering something: "By the way, my lord, the second lieutenant also suggested that if possible, it is best to advance Appropriate a batch of supplies to replenish, he said the border is a bit unstable."

"Hehe, Unsteady? How did Unsteady get so many horses? It's just that he wants to get more supplies." The captain laughed.

"Reject him then?" asked the major.

The captain of the regiment shook his head and said: "Tell the logistics chief of the regiment to allocate a batch of supplies to the second lieutenant, and tell him to be generous, and don't be so fussy as before. You know, we are all making money now, and we have leaked from the hands." There is no need to feel bad when the oil and water go down. At least we eat meat, and let the people below drink some soup."

"Your Excellency is wise. But now he has the highest rank in the Fifth Battalion. Do you want to call an officer above lieutenant back to take command?" the major reminded.

The regiment captain smiled and said, "Who can you call back? At this moment, whoever you call is in a hurry with you, regardless of whether you are a major or not. Also, a brigade has 25 squads, 25 squad leaders with different ideas, and He is a logistics officer. Those guys in the combat troops will not sell their bills. This is the arrogance of the combat troops. There is no need to worry about him commanding a brigade with the rank of second lieutenant. You are too worried. Even if you let him control the entire brigade So what? Do you still dare to rebel?"

The major thought it was true, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, this subordinate is indeed worrying too much."

With the captain's request, all the chief officers took part in the banquet hosted by Zhao Hu, otherwise even if Zhao Hu gave them a gift, they would not have attended a banquet hosted by a second lieutenant.

This time Zhao Hu was not left out in the cold, every chief officer came to clink glasses with Zhao Hu, and used his military rank very maliciously, forcing Zhao Hu to drink one cup after another, hoping to see Zhao Hu make a fool of himself.

And Dio hid aside, his face turned blue, not because Zhao Hu was drunk, he was worried about whether he had enough money to pay the bill, after all, these officers ordered good wine.

However, the more those officers forced Zhao Hu to drink, the more surprised they became, and in the end they all gave up their plan to see Zhao Hu's ugly face.

Because Zhao Hu drank so much wine into his belly, except for his belly getting rounder, he didn't feel drunk at all.

The banquet ended quickly in a friendly and happy atmosphere.

Zhao Hu stared at a gold coin in Diou's hand in a daze.

"Sir, we still owe the restaurant thirty gold coins for drinking. You gave this gold coin to your subordinates last time. Now..." Dio's words stunned Zhao Hu even more.

Zhao Hu hurriedly pushed the gold coin back, he thought it was left over after spending a hundred gold coins.

Dio also knew that this gold coin was useless, so he frowned and said, "Sir, do you want to go back and drive some horses to sell? Otherwise, if you don't pay back the money, our daily life will be difficult." He didn't expect these horses They were all purchased with brigade funds and belonged to the brigade's property, not personal items that can be exchanged for money.

"Just now, the logistics chief of the regiment asked me to pick up a batch of supplies tomorrow, so I should be able to deal with emergencies," Zhao Hu said.

He was more direct, putting his thoughts on the supplies, and he didn't notice that these were all brigade supplies, and he was not qualified to use them at all.

Hearing this, Dio immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Hey, that's good, my subordinates are really afraid of being chased to Kulong Town by the tavern owner."

Zhao Hu didn't care about this apparently public-private matter, Diou didn't care, and the logistics soldiers brought by Zhao Hu didn't care, and those officers couldn't possibly care.

As long as you don't deduct military pay, as long as you can ensure that the troops have sufficient combat supplies, the higher-ups won't care how you use the excess supplies.So officers with ideas like Zhao Hu can be found everywhere, all over the world.
