Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 3499: People’s opinions make gold, but accumulation destroys bones.

"What did he come back for?" 』

"This guy still has the nerve to come back?" 』

"Weren't you taken away? 』

"Is this okay? 』

The chirping sound, like an invisible curse, continued to linger in Ma Yue's ears.

The sky is dark and the ground is gray.

Ma Yue lowered his head and walked silently through the camp.

The soldiers around him pointed at him, but after Ma Yue turned his eyes away, he pretended to be nonchalant.

"What are you doing?" ! "A military academy member came over and scolded the soldiers who had gathered to discuss, "Are they all so idle? ! Has the trench been dug? Has the tent been tidied up? Have you finished your rotation? 』

The soldiers seemed unwilling to let go of the fun of teasing and ridicule in this winter. They walked back angrily and whispered back, "This guy falsely accused General Zhang, can't we say a few words?" We are grieving for General Zhang..."

"Aggrieved?" ” The military academy heard the soldier’s muttering, “You are the only one who wants to leave us!” Who are you, General Zhang? I don’t see you and General Zhang being so close on weekdays! It was the same thing you said last time that General Zhang was biased. He didn't do good things to you, but did bad things to you! Is that what you said? What are you pretending to do now? Get back to work! 』

The soldier then closed his mouth and swayed away.

The military academy turned to look at Ma Yue, who was still walking forward with his head lowered, sighed slightly, and turned to leave.

Ma Yue shuffled back to his tent.

The installation in the tent is very simple.

A pit was dug in the middle to set up a bonfire, and a few wooden boards were laid out on the side, with some hay on top and a mat on top. The bedding is a piece of gray-black leather, probably sewn from sheepskin. Because the nitrification leather-making technology in the Han Dynasty was not as good as that of later generations, the leather was not soft, and could only barely keep out the cold.

"General!" 』

The Ma Yue guard inside the tent quickly stood up when he saw Ma Yue coming back.

Ma Yue walked into the tent, his vision dimmed for a moment, and it took him a moment to recover.

It was cold in the tent. Not only was there no campfire, but there were also no people. Originally, this tent could sleep seven or eight people, but now only two people were left.

"Where are the others...the others?" 』

Ma Yue felt a little chilly in his heart.

"They're all gone..." one of the remaining guards replied, "These guys!" On weekdays, I say nice things when I get money, but if something goes wrong, I turn around and run away! A bunch of bastards..."

Ma Yue glanced at the weapons and armor piled in the corner of the tent, then lowered his head and sat on the mat in silence.

The hussar army system is a dual-track system of recruitment and troops.

The professional soldiers who were recruited by the Hussar with money and equipment were assigned to the commander's military academy or generals during battles. According to the Han tradition, the generals would maintain a certain private tribe.

The Buqu system was inherited from the Han Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty. At first, Buqu was just a name for the military structure system, but by the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buqu had transformed from the national military system into a collective name for individual private armed forces. Although private tribes gradually became a danger to the country from the Three Kingdoms to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Local and personal armed forces basically equaled zero central control of the country, but everything has its pros and cons. In times of war, This kind of private army organized by local individuals has also allowed many rural people to receive a certain degree of protection and enjoy a certain degree of security.

Moreover, a tribe composed entirely of clans has very strong combat effectiveness. Not to mention Cao Cao, even the Jiangdong soldiers who are often considered weak-footed shrimps also have heroic and unyielding battle stories. During the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, in order to cover Sun Quan's retreat, Ling Tong led three hundred troops to fight to the death and resist Zhang Liao's attack. In the end, none of these soldiers remained, and only Ling Tong jumped into the river alone. Inside, he was able to escape.

It costs money to raise a private army. It is equivalent to a company recruiting tenured employees, and instead of supporting one employee, it also needs to support the employee's family. Even if the employee dies from a work-related injury, the employee and his family will continue to be supported until the company goes bankrupt, or It's the employees who leave on their own initiative.

The current situation in Ma Yue is that employees have left voluntarily.

Ma Yue's family background is already thin. It's not like some big families have maintained private soldiers for several generations...

The trees fell and the hozens scattered.

Although these scattered guards may not be able to find their next family for a while, they still dispersed.

"General... do you want to find them back?" "The guard said, "At least I only gave them money..."

"Forget it..." Ma Yue shook his head and after half a sentence, he found that his voice was hoarse.

When you go to the battlefield, you cannot quit the **** department. You have to share life and death with the general, and you have to protect the general even if you risk your life. But after you get off the battlefield, you are allowed to quit. But generally speaking, no one will change jobs easily, so These **** parts of Ma Yue are also in compliance with the rules when they are offline in non-combat conditions.

In addition, when these escorts left, they did not take away their armor, swords and guns...

"General, how can you just let it go?" 』

The guard was still a little angry.

Did we agree to share life and death together?

While eating and drinking, and taking Ma Yue's money, he thanked her one by one. Now that something happened to Ma Yue, those promises made with pats on the chest will not just be treated as farts and be over, right?

Moreover, these escorts said that Ma Yue's behavior was stained, but they just walked away when the general was in trouble, and then they could feel at ease? Isn't it selfish after all? What's the difference from Ma Yue's previous double-standard behavior? Are you aggressive when blaming others, but submissive when talking about yourself? Others are wrong first, so you can feel at ease when you are wrong?

"They're all a bunch of heartless people! "Another guard also cursed, "It's just the same thing! When I took the money, I smiled like a flower, and now everyone runs faster than the rabbits! And those guys in the logistics department! I used to be a big brother, but now I wish my eyes were growing on the top of my forehead! It’s all **** bullshit! Who has never done anything wrong in this life? Who the **** is the Great Sage? Damn it, why are they pretending to be so stupid with their hands on their hips..."

"Hello! Please stop saying a few words..." The previous guard tugged, then turned to Ma Yue and said, "General...we are not saying you are wrong..."

"I was indeed wrong..." Ma Yue smiled bitterly and emphasized again, "Forget it... let them go..."

The two guards fell silent. After a while, one guard couldn't help but said, "General... about this... what did the Qiusi say..."

Ma Yue was silent for a moment, and then said, "Remove the post...go to the snowy area, and...go find me some thorn sticks...I will go find General Zhang to bear the thorn sticks to apologize..."

"What? 』

"Negative?" 』

The two guards couldn't help shouting.

Ma Yue nodded.

"How about... later?" "One of the guards said, "Now... wait until it gets dark before going..."

"Yes, yes, let's go later...otherwise the whole camp will watch, and we won't be laughed to death by then..." Another guard also advised.

Ma Yue remained silent for a longer time, and finally said through gritted teeth, "I said the wrong thing in front of people. How can I apologize for it behind people's backs now?" Go find Vitex, no more words! 』

…

…

On the other side, Zhang Liao's guards also rushed into Zhang Liao's tent, "General!" That guy is back! 』

"What is that guy?" 』

"It's that beast named Ma!" 』

Zhang Liao's face immediately darkened when he heard this, "Damn it!" Palm it yourself! 』

The guard's eyes widened, "General!" It was he who harmed you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice, "Did it cause my family to be destroyed, or did it cause me to die without a complete body?" Tell me, what happened to me? 』

"Well...he ruined your reputation!" "The guard said, "That guy framed you, the general! 』

Zhang Liao pointed at the guard and said, "If you speak rudely and insult an officer, slap him first and then speak." 』

The guard was about to say more, but he was grabbed by the guard captain, who glared angrily, "Why, your wings are stiff and you don't even listen to the commander's words?" ! 』

The guard then shut up.

The guard captain handed the guard a wooden stick.

The guard bit him and was slapped twice in the face. Zhang Liao heard the sound and glanced at the guard captain.

The guard captain smiled and stepped aside.

Zhang Liao didn't care about the behavior of the guard captain, but waved his hand and said, "Sit." 』

"Do you know why I slapped you first?" Zhang Liao asked the guard who was slapped.

"Because...my words were inappropriate..." the guard replied.

Zhang Liao nodded, "Yes or no." The slap is to punish you, but also to protect you! In this tent, I punish you, and the matter is settled. Otherwise... what do you think will happen if you are sent to Pang Lingjun's central army tent? At least twenty army sticks are indispensable, right? 』

The guard sniffed and finally lowered his head, "Thank you, General..."

Zhang Liao said with some emotion: "What I fear most is not punishment, but just leaving it alone without dealing with it... When will we wait..."

Shelving was the habitual practice of the feudal dynasty.

This is especially prominent in the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty was so unique. If the emperor leaves the seal on the watch, it may be issued in a few days, or it may be several years, or it may be more than ten years, or even it may not be issued in a lifetime...

Once the seal of success comes out, there will be overwhelming wind, rain and thunder!

Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)

Zhang Liao was afraid that Pang Tong would not say anything, and he was also worried that Fei would know about it but not talk about it.

"This is a good thing, understand?" ” Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"How can this be a good thing?" ”The guard still doesn’t understand.

Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "It seems that your slap in the face was in vain...you are not making progress..."

The guard was confused, but the guard captain on the side seemed to understand something, "General, according to what you said... Pang Lingjun's side..."

Zhang Liao nodded, "So... you were saying bad things about Pang Lingjun before... Should I also arrest and punish you one by one in the name of false accusation?" 』

"How can this be the same?" ” Some guards disagreed with Zhang Liao’s statement.

A few days ago, when Pang Tong did not deal with Ma Yue on the spot, but sent Ma Yue to Fei Qiang, some of Zhang Liao's guards were discussing whether Pang Tong was partial, ignored Zhongliang, listened to slander, and wanted to kill meritorious officials. Wait, even if Zhang Liao stopped them, he didn't say it openly, but he was still muttering behind his back.

"If I hadn't stopped you two days ago..." Zhang Liao pointed to those who had whispered bad things about Pang Tong behind his back, "Then what you said was heard by others and spread, causing a big fuss. What will happen...? 』

"How can it be the same?" "The guard still couldn't understand, "I just said it casually...I didn't take it seriously..."

The smile on Zhang Liao's face slowly faded, and his brows gradually raised, "Others said it was slander and a beast, but when you said it yourself, you just said it casually and didn't take it seriously?" My place is small, I'm afraid I can't accommodate a great **** like you! 』

Only then did the guard realize the problem, and he knelt on the ground with a bang, and slapped himself, "Damn it... Xiao Xiao, what he said was unintentional... Xiao Xiao takes back those words he said before..."

In addition, the guard captain on the side also quickly stepped forward and kicked the guard on the butt, "You are such a big man, and you don't even know what to say!" If you keep talking too much, follow the example of the talkative women in the market, and I will strip you of your skin and make you go to the market to fetch water and chat with those women! 』

Zhang Liao sighed, his eyebrows gradually lowered, "Misfortune comes from the mouth... It would be okay if I took it back... Back then... Oh, forget it, get up, remember, if there is a next time, it's not me who is unkind." Yeah...you think you can just say it, or others say you think it's okay to say it, there are problems with these ideas...You must know that the sound of a crowd makes a difference..."

While he was talking, suddenly there was a noise outside the big tent, coming from far and near, hee hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.

Zhang Liao was stunned, "What's the fuss about?" 』

A guard rushed out of the tent, and then came back quickly, "The general...he, the horse, the general horse is here carrying thorns on his back..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately stood up and walked out of the tent.

As soon as they got out of the tent, they saw Ma Yue walking slowly with his head lowered and shirtless on the road between the tents. Behind Ma Yue, there were a group of people. The soldiers were following and surrounding them, like a circle of spectators who saw someone fall or jump from a building.

Some people were laughing and joking, some were pointing, some were chirping, and some were silent.

When some people saw it, they shook their heads and walked away. There were also some people who were going to do something, so they put down what they were doing and gathered around.

People eat grains, but they produce all sorts of things.

Ma Yue's head was buzzing, and the surrounding sounds were like waves, hitting him in the face.

The cold north wind blew on his exposed skin, and soon he couldn't help but shiver.

He tried hard not to tremble and not to appear timid because of trembling, but this body's instinctive reaction would not be transferred due to his will.

It's like he can't control the mouths of the surrounding soldiers.

Even many of these soldiers are the cavalry he brought out back then...

When he stepped on the ground, he felt a little uneven, as if he was stepping in a mud swamp.

Why?

He was indeed wrong.

But why was he wrong about one thing, like everything?

Could it be that those people can make no mistakes in their lives, and if they make mistakes, they will be destroyed immediately?

And the soldiers he taught before are either silent now, or they are jumping up and shouting the loudest...

Why is this?

Ma Yue is not a smart person, he can't figure it out.

He was wrong and he came to admit his mistake.

"The sinner Ma Yue..." When Ma Yue saw Zhang Liao, he shook his head, but quickly lowered his head and fell to the ground, "Apologise to General Zhang... Please punish General Zhang..."

Zhang Liao hurriedly took a few steps forward, stepped forward and caught Ma Yue. His tentacles were startled, and he quickly tore off the thorn sticks Ma Yue was carrying, threw it aside, and then tore off his own cloak. , covering Ma Yue, "Brother Ma, you don't have to be like this!" It's just some quarrels... There are still fights between lips and teeth. If you make it clear, it will be fine... Look at how cold you are, come on, come to my tent to warm yourself up! 』

Ma Yue smiled miserably, "It doesn't matter... I'm going to the snowy area... It's better to adapt to the cold earlier... I'm guilty..."

"You are not guilty!" Only wrong! Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Brother Ma, I'm still standing here!" You are just wrong! Even if you are guilty, you can still perform meritorious service, let alone if it is just a fault? This is not your sin! Stop talking about sin! 』

Ma Yue's eyes turned red, "General Zhang..."

"Just call Wenyuan!" ” Zhang Liao pulled Ma Yue and said, “Just like before, call me Wen Yuan! Come on, let's go into the tent! 』

Ma Yue stood still and shook his head, "I... feel ashamed... I have no shame to do this again..."

After saying that, Ma Yue saluted again and staggered away.

The soldiers around were standing and chattering.

"What are you pretending to be?" 』

"This man deserves to die..."

"Dare to speak ill of General Zhang..."

"General Zhang is a great hero!" Speaking ill of General Zhang is treason! 』

"Is that enough if I apologize now?" How can anything be so cheap..."

Zhang Liao listened, anger gradually gathered on his face, and he shouted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Are you all blind? General Ma just came here shirtless. Didn't you see the scars on his body? ! General Ma is also a man of merit! General Ma said the wrong thing, and he suffered the consequences! What are you doing and what are you saying? ! Damn thing! Retreat quickly! If you gather people to make noise again, you will be severely punished! 』

Some soldiers left long ago, but some soldiers were unwilling to accept it and did not dare to approach. They just opened their mouths from a distance and shouted, "General Zhang, we are fighting for you!" 』

In fact, it is the same in any era. Those who clamor for trouble are actually a small group of people, but this small group of people will talk about "us" every day...

"No more noise for no reason!" March forty army sticks! ” Zhang Liao shouted angrily, “Don’t retreat yet!” 』

Seeing that Zhang Liao seemed to be serious, the soldiers left in anger.

Zhang Liao watched these soldiers leave, his brows did not relax, but instead furrowed more and more.

"General?" "The guard standing aside said, "They have good intentions..."

"kindness? Zhang Liao frowned, "Do you really think they have good intentions?" If I remember correctly, some of the soldiers who just insulted General Ma were taught by General Ma..."

"ah? this…"

Zhang Liao turned around and said, "I'll go find your lord..."
