Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 275 Accidental Rollover
Pei Yuan discussed the details of reporting the merits with them and they were all very satisfied with the final result.

Gu Dayong mainly focuses on the ability to command with confidence, defeat the enemy with a small force, and achieve amazing results twenty times the number while chatting and laughing.

With such an image, if you give Eunuch Gu a book and call him the Confucian Supervisor, he will dare to agree.

In this way, Eunuch Gu could use this opportunity to clear himself of the charge of military incompetence and throw the dirty water on Lu Wan who was suspected of holding him back.

Eunuch Gu focuses on the overall situation, while the Xiao father and son focus on individuals.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Tong braved the arrows and stones and rushed into the smoke. One of them captured the bandit leader "Big Tiger" and the other captured the bandit leader "Starry Sky".

There were also several beheadings.

After discussing this matter, Pei Yuan proposed, "The two thieves have been roaming around Shandong, looting a lot, and they must have some money and property. How should these be divided?"

Cold hard money always makes people rational. This time no one was willing to give in, and everyone decided to split it equally.

The conversation was pleasant, and the bright future was even more pleasant.

The three of them chatted for a long time with laughter.

At this moment, it seemed as if all the grudges and hatreds between them had been gone.

After the three men dispersed, Pei Yuan went to Chen Hutou again and said to him calmly, "Captain Chen is here, watch your army annihilated."

After saying that, Pei Yuan walked away leisurely despite Chen Hutou's hateful gaze.

The government troops had sturdy tents, sufficient fuel, hot food, and a camp with good drainage.

This brief break from battle feels like a precious gift.

However, this pleasant atmosphere could no longer be maintained in the afternoon.

Because the wind started to blow.

Pine wood is flammable and not very afraid of moisture, but it still has the disadvantage that it produces too much smoke when burning.

Soldiers could only warm themselves by the fire in open tents.

But as the cold wind blew, their clothes were soon cooled, and the heat from the fire was no longer worth it.

So the soldiers returned to their tents and relied on clothes and quilts to resist the severe cold.

As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Pei Yuan certainly did not need to use pine wood fuel.

There was a brazier lit in his tent, and it was hot everywhere.

In the middle of the time, Song Chunniang came to deliver food.

Seeing that it was warm in the tent, I stayed here for a while.

Pei Yuan suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have made any promises to his good friend when he made the previous arrangements.

For a long time, Song Chunniang played the role of his own battlefield attendant.

Follow me to finish off the enemies, help me guard the retreat, and provide me with replacement weapons in time.

By the way, observe the situation on the battlefield and give appropriate reminders to yourself who is blinded by killing.

In addition, General Song can provide Pei Yuan with a lot of emotional value at times.

Pei Yuan didn't really want to let her go, so he could only pretend to be confused for the time being.

Fortunately, Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang are not big mouths, so they won’t cause trouble for the time being.

The sudden strong wind also forced Mantianxing to make a difficult decision.

He couldn't let his men be washed by the cold rain and attacked by the freezing wind.

Some tents that were soaked more severely began to move to higher places.

The dual effects of cold wind and rain made many bandits shrink back and would rather hide in flooded tents than move camp in the cold wind and heavy rain.

The relocation failed halfway through.

Now Baby's breath can only hope desperately that the rain will stop soon.

The next day, when Pei Yuan got up, he didn't see Song Chunniang who was chattering.

When I went out to take a look, I saw that some of the tents had icicles on the edges.

Pei Yuan was overjoyed. He quickly wrapped himself in clothes and went to the observation deck to watch.

However, the bandits' camp was like an empty camp, without any human presence at all.

Pei Yuan frowned slightly. They wouldn't run away in the rain at night, right?

Although these tents and other things are not very useful, they can still help them deal with some problems.

If I force myself to leave in the rain, I might die on the way.

While Pei Yuan was thinking about this, a group of bandits dragged two dead bodies out of a tent and threw them into a deep pit.

Pei Yuan observed for a moment and found that in just this short period of time, seven or eight dead bodies had been dragged out.

As I was watching, someone suddenly rushed out of the tent into the rain and started vomiting non-stop.

The man was already weak from vomiting and diarrhea, and he was exposed to the cold wind and rain. He fell down while vomiting.

When the bandits who were dragging the dead man saw this, they didn't care whether he was still breathing or not. They just dragged him and threw him into the deep pit.

Pei Yuan looked at the slightly brighter clouds and knew that the rain would not last long.

Soon, it will be time for them to reap military merit and wealth.

Two quilts were stuffed into Chen Hutou's doghouse, but there was no tent to shelter him, so he had an uncomfortable two days.

Pei Yuan glanced at him and said to him calmly, "You will be able to go back safely in two days. Tell Sixth Master, Seventh Master and Qi Yanming for me that we are brothers, so don't forget me."

After saying that, Pei Yuan gave him a smile that was full of malice.

If it were before, Chen Hutou might have struggled violently to show his resistance.

But at this moment.

Chen Hutou looked at Pei Yuan, his heart full of fear.

He did it.

With a twenty-fold difference in troop strength, they used the few to defeat the many and annihilated the bandits that were roaming Shandong.

No wonder Sixth Master, Seventh Master and the others seemed to be blind and obeyed Pei Yuan's orders before.

In the end, he walked into the trap set by Pei Yuan.

Such a powerful person is impossible to resist.

As the battle entered its final moments, the atmosphere in the camp began to relax.

Pei Yuan was worried that the large number of deaths and illnesses among the bandits might lead to an epidemic.

He showed mercy and gave some food to the young and strong captives.

The next morning, someone came and told us that the rain had stopped.

Pei Yuan realized that now was the time to reap the fruits of victory.

He went to meet Gu Dayong and Xiao Yan, and mobilized all the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers was unusually high.

According to Pei Yuan's order, all the soldiers of Xuzhou Guard, whether combat soldiers or auxiliary soldiers, would cover their mouths and noses with cloth, rush into the bandits' camp, and kill those who were still alive.

After all the people were killed, the young and strong captured were responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

Those who gain the most can be spared from death.

The soldiers who had been gathering their strength for several days immediately moved. After experiencing the fierce attack of the bandits, they knew in their hearts that this might be their only chance to turn the tables.

The soldiers ignored the mud and marched towards the bandits' camp, one step deep and one step shallow.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of the bandits.

Then, several tents opened.

Surrounded by dozens of people, "Mantianxing" simply abandoned the camp and left.

The escape of "Mantianxing" destroyed the bandits' last fighting spirit.

Many people simply knelt down and surrendered, hoping for a lucky break.

However, the heads of these bandits were the military merits of the government army, so naturally no one was willing to let them go.

Some bandits struggled to fight to the death, while others, tortured by the cold wind and rain and close to collapse, waited numbly for the government troops' butcher knives to fall.

The soldiers of Xuzhouwei fought back and forth three times, and Pei Yuan asked the captured young and strong to clean up the battlefield. There was no need to worry about weapons and baggage, Pei Yuan could let the people of Yanggu County deal with it.

There is a lot of money to be made here, and the extra 20,000 people will be made up with the help of the local government.

This time, the captured young and strong men were sent to clean up the battlefield, mainly to collect gold, silver, copper coins, and other valuable miscellaneous items.

After sorting out the things, Pei Yuan took a rough look and found that the harvest was similar to that of Xiao Wusong.

Loose silver, copper coins, gold and silver utensils.

But the advantage lies in the quantity.

With so many people present, Pei Yuan and his team couldn't deal with it too meticulously, so they roughly divided it into three piles and everyone chose one.

Pei Yuan asked the laborers he recruited from Xuzhou to help collect several carts of valuables.

I felt more and more urgent to go to Yanggu.

At least we have to find a place to exchange these miscellaneous things for lovely big silver ingots.

As soon as Pei Yuan, Xiao Yan and Gu Dayong mentioned it, they immediately received a positive response.

After living in the open air for the past few days, everyone is exhausted. Now everyone wants to find a quiet room and sleep comfortably in bed.

Moreover, we have to discuss the matter of seizing baggage and burying the bodies with Yanggu County.

When they heard that the team was going to Yanggu County to rest, all the soldiers burst into cheers.

After days of hesitation between life and death, he finally won a great victory.

The soldiers of Xuzhou Wei packed up their things overnight and were ready to enter the city, immediately.

Even the baggage they carried with them had to be abandoned because it had just rained and the ground was muddy.

Pei Yuan and the other three had to carry their belongings with them. The method to deal with the mud was not difficult, just use wooden boards to pad the wheels back and forth.

As for finding the way, it was not a problem. After all, we had captured thousands of local young and strong men, and we could find the right direction with just a little asking.

Everyone left excitedly and entered Yanggu County before sunset.

Xiao Yan and Gu Dayong went to Yanggu County Office to deal with some official matters. In addition, they also had to arrange accommodation for the soldiers of Xuzhou Guard.

After this hard battle, only about 600 people were left in Xuzhou.

As for Xu Feng, the commander of the Hangzhou vanguard, he has been completely deprived of his right to speak and has become an dispensable character in the team.

The worst thing is that even his selected striker servant is now nowhere to be found.

Pei Yuan told him that it was battle damage, so who knows.

After entering the city, Pei Yuan did not join the Xuzhou Guards' troop.

He only had a few personal guards under his command, and including the young and strong, there were only fifty or sixty of them.

Pei Yuan wanted to save trouble, so he found an inn that looked nice.

Then dozens of knives were swung and the area was cleared.

Pei Yuan took a nice hot bath, and Jiao Yan'er in the inner room also washed herself carefully.

Captain Pei would certainly not miss the beautiful sight of his concubine coming out of the bath, so he walked in and lay on the bathtub to watch.

Jiao Yaner's body stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to cover up.

But she is beautiful everywhere, how can her little hands hide it?

The longer Pei Yuan and Jiao Yan'er spend together, the more they like each other.

He even planned to hold a grand ceremony in Nanjing without telling anyone before the two traitors, Tan Tai Fang Tu and Si Kong Sui, returned.

Pei Yuan had even thought about the guests who were important enough.

With Gu Dayong and Xiao Jing's connections, this banquet will definitely not be too shabby.

Pei Yuan had been patient for some days. Seeing Jiao Yan'er's timid look, he was afraid that she would not be able to enjoy herself to the fullest.

His mind moved slightly and his thoughts became active.

Beautiful General Song, you should have finished washing by now.

As long as there are more choices, men are always considerate and easy to talk to.

Pei Yuan reached out and caressed the beautiful Jiao for a while, then found an excuse to leave.

When we arrived at the lobby of the inn, it was bustling with activity.

The Jinyiwei did not fight to the death like the soldiers of Xuzhouwei, and did not have a thorough understanding of the feeling of escaping death.

But this doesn't stop them from showing off.

Everyone shouted loudly, talking about what they had done.

Pei Yuan glanced around.

I saw Song Chunniang with half-wet hair.

It became.

The little white sheep has been washed and can be eaten secretly.

Just as Pei Yuan was secretly rejoicing and thinking of finding an excuse to drag Song Chunniang away.

Suddenly a group of people arrived outside the inn.

Pei Yuan took a look and saw that it was Xiao Yan who came.

Xiao Yan looked very pleased with himself. He came in and glanced at Pei Yuan, "Brother Pei, why are you living here? There are many wealthy families in Yanggu County who can help us make room."

Pei Yuan was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Yan, "You came so quickly."

Xiao Yan laughed and said, "That shop owner is so blind that he actually reported it to the county government. He thinks he is a big shot just because he has some connections. He doesn't even know how to write the word death."

"I just happened to hear that, so I came over to look around. I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a few more days, waiting for the imperial censor from the capital to come and count the heads."

Pei Yuan reminded, "Don't be careless."

Xiao Yan understood, "One of our own."

Pei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yan was in a good mood. He glanced around and saw the room was full of Jinyiwei.

I couldn't help but joke, "You guys are just sitting there like this? Ask your thousand households for a reward!"

Pei Yuan laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, Captain Xiao. I have already promised them that they can eat, drink and whore as they please when they enter Yanggu County. I will ask Chen Toutie to take the money to settle the bill for them."

Xiao Yan had some misunderstandings, thinking that the money was paid by Chen Toutie, and immediately said to Cheng Leixiang, "Chen Toutie hasn't fulfilled his position as the second-rank commander-in-chief yet, but the third-rank commander-in-chief that your master got you is already within your grasp, and you just need to choose a place to fill the vacancy. You should pay for this!"

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang were stunned.

Ever since Pei Yuan promised them a bright future, the two of them were so happy that they almost jumped three times with every step.

However, considering the thoughts of a certain General Song, both of them tacitly kept this little secret.

I’m afraid it will be difficult for my boss.

I didn't expect that this hidden mine would explode like this.

When all the Jinyiwei in the hall heard that Cheng Leixiang and Chen Toutie had got a good future, they were all shocked and started to talk and ask questions quickly.

Pei Yuan, Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang all looked at Song Chunniang like thieves.

Song Chunniang was originally chatting with others with a smile, but when she heard what Xiao Yan said, she almost turned to ashes on the spot.

The three of them quickly turned their heads away, afraid of meeting Song Chunniang's eyes.

After a while, Song Chunniang came back to her senses. With cold hands and feet, she asked the Jinyiwei sitting next to her, "What did he say just now?"

The Jinyiwei was still excited.

The promotion of Cheng Leixiang and Chen Toutie suddenly opened up new possibilities for their promotion.

Who doesn’t want to follow a boss who can help his own people?

He said excitedly, "The boss helped Chen Toutie get a second-rank commander-in-chief, and helped Cheng Leixiang get a third-rank commander. This is really..."

The Jinyiwei wanted to make some sharp comments, but he found that the woman in front of him had an extremely ugly expression.

He immediately thought of this person's identity. She was also one of the three general flags under Boss Pei.
