Water Margin people

"This is your army!"

Yue Fei stared wide-eyed at the majestic army in the distance. This was the first time he saw such an elite army. He had only seen local soldiers and some forbidden troops in Hebei before. Those army were very lazy.

"elder brother!"

Xiao Jiasui and Li Zhu led the crowd to salute Sun Lei, including the returning Qiao Daoqing.

"What are you all doing together? Rest, rest!"

Sun Lei looked at the strict formation of the army, waved his hand and said, the army was ordered to quickly disperse the formation, leaving behind the guards, and the rest returned to the battalion.

Yue Fei was drooling watching, and ran into the barracks like a curious baby to look around, because Sun Lei brought it back, and no one in the army stopped him.

"Brother, Yang Keshi, the commander of Zhongshidao, has led an army of five thousand to the city of Taiyuan."

Xiao Jiasui looked at Sun Lei and said.

"Yang Keshi? Tian Bao was defeated by this person?"

Sun Lei asked.

"Brother, little brother has already found out the reason for the slow advance of the Zhongshi Dao. The lack of troops is one reason, but the more important thing is that the food and grass can't keep up."

"This time, Zhong Shidao brought the Western Army to Hedong from Yan'an Mansion. He didn't bring much food and grass. Tian Hu had already swept away all the food and grass in Hedong. This is how Tian Hu's territory is eroded bit by bit."

Qiao Daoqing said.

"So Zhong Shidao is going to Taiyuan to play the autumn wind?"

Sun Lei rubbed his chin and said, Taiyuan Mansion is extremely rich, conquering Taiyuan will not only recover the state capital, but also replenish the army.

"Brother, he has already got supplements. Tian Bao led his men to fight Fenyang, not to mention the defeat, all the luggage was taken away by the teacher."

Li Zhu smiled and said.

"This guy is really not enough to succeed, but more than to fail!"

Sun Lei shook his head helplessly and said, he didn't expect Tian Bao to help, but he didn't expect Tian Bao to help.

"I don't care about them, let's continue to rest where we are! I'll see how long Tian Bao can bear it. In the worst case, I'll just watch Master Zhong destroy Taiyuan."

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and said.

Within two days, Tian Bao sent more than a dozen messengers to ask for help, but Sun Lei was perfunctory every time.

"Brother, are we really not going to support Taiyuan?"

Li Zhu looked at Sun Lei and asked, from Tian Bao's letter, it can be seen that Taiyuan City is already in crisis.

"Taiyuan is not a small city. No matter how useless Tian Bao's 5 people are, it won't be impossible for him to defend for ten days. The teacher should not carry heavy weapons. It is difficult to attack such a fortified city."

Sun Lei opened the mouth and said, he wished that Zhong Shidao and Tian Bao would beat you to death, and then he would take advantage of it himself.

Yue Fei has been very active these two days. He seems to like life in the army very much, and he enjoys being in the army. It's just that he has become acquainted in the army in the past two days.

"Brother, this is a man of talent. He knows how to get along with soldiers at a young age."

Xiao Jiasui smiled and said, Yue Fei is the youngest in the army, and everyone takes good care of him.

"There is still a lack of a good master. I am going to hand him over to Zongze, so that the old man can use his spare energy to help the young people."

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei who was laughing with soldiers in the distance and said.

"Zongze? He's a good teacher. In the art of war, Zongze is the master."

Xiao Jiasui nodded with a smile.

"But brother, if we don't make a move, Tian Bao's side will really lose, and it's time for us to show up."

Xiao Jiasui reminded Sun Lei that they came to Hedong this time to divert the attention of the imperial court. If they don't show up again, the imperial court might send their troops to Shandong.

"Brother, Tian Bao has sent someone again!"

Guo Sheng came over and said to Sun Lei.

"Go, see you!"

Sun Lei smiled and led them back to the camp of the Chinese army.

"Who are you? You don't look like a messenger!"

Sun Lei looked at the person who came and asked, unlike the soldiers who came before, this person was wearing general's clothes.

"The last general is Chen Xuan, the general under King Tian Bao!"

Chen Xuan clasped his fists to Sun Lei and saluted.

"Oh!"

Sun Lei just said "Oh" and stopped talking, as if he was not interested in Chen Xuan.

"Boss Sun, Taiyuan is in danger, please send troops to the rescue!"

Chen Xuan looked at Sun Lei and said.

"Rescue? Didn't Tian Bao tell me to go back to the water? I'm about to start. The terrain here is too bad. There are mountains everywhere. It's not as open as my Liangshan Park."

Sun Lei waved his hand and said.

"Boss Sun, the previous incident was caused by villains who slandered, which led to a misunderstanding between the second king and Chief Sun. I also asked Chief Sun to send troops to rescue for the sake of the alliance."

Chen Xuan explained.

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding, but I didn't make this misunderstanding. If you want me to go, you have to show some sincerity!"

Sun Lei smiled and rubbed his fingers.

"Is this... asking for money?"

Chen Xuan was full of disbelief. When he came, he knew it was difficult to convince Sun Lei. He thought of many possibilities, but he didn't ask for money.

"Of course you need money to ask someone for help. Even if I don't want it, my brothers also want it. I never owe my military salary!"

Sun Lei said.

"It's not the alliance...rescue!"

Chen Xuan looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"I didn't need money at first, but Tian Bao didn't give me face like that, so I have to get back face by myself. My army won't move if it has less money!"

Sun Lei reminded.

"Don't worry, Chief Sun, the money will never be short!"

Chen Xuan immediately agreed.

"Don't talk about it, I won't move the money until I see it!"

Sun Lei waved off the guests.

"Why is your mouth full of copper stink!"

Yue Fei looked at Sun Lei. He didn't like Sun Lei's mouth full of money. If the army only loves money, it's not a good army.

"You little guy doesn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt if you are not in charge of the family! Ten thousand troops! Three thousand horses! Haven't you had a lot of fun recently! How much food and grass do you need for a day?"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and asked.

Yue Fei was at a loss for words for a while, he had a lot of fun with eating these few days, but everything in the world is not for nothing, [-] soldiers eat horse chews, every day is a big number.

"What do you think war is? Do you play it? What you fight for is money and food. If Zhao Song hadn't been rich, how could he have survived until now? If Liao hadn't been poor, he would have gone south a long time ago!"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and said, the young man hasn't really experienced the wind and rain, and he doesn't understand many things.

Early the next morning, Chen Xuan brought five carts of gold, silver and jewels to Sun Lei's camp.

"If I knew Tian Bao was so rich, I should have ordered more!"

Sun Lei looked at the five carts of gold, silver and jewelry and sighed.

Chen Xuan on the side was full of embarrassment when he heard it. Sun Lei didn't shy away from him at all, and spoke his mind in front of him.

"These are enough food and drink for the army for ten days!"

Yue Fei looked at the gold, silver and jewels, and did some calculations to get the result.

"You heard it, it's only enough for ten days. My army will start today and stop after ten days."

Sun Lei said with a laugh.

"Ten days?"

Chen Xuan's face turned bitter. He got the money after persuading Tian Bao for a long time. They raided the Taiyuan Mansion and plundered a lot of money, but every one of them was a Pixiu who could only get in and out. Let them take the money out. They have the same fate. (end of this chapter)
