Chapter 261 No income

(One update! This one is late, please forgive me!)
When Meng Qiang saw Liu Jinyun, Shen Du and others again, his attitude changed a lot, and he readily agreed to summon the soldiers of the Xiangyang Guards to listen to the order.

"Master Liu, tomorrow I will call up the soldiers to listen to the orders. However, there are only 3 soldiers stationed in Longshan, and the remaining [-] soldiers are on patrol in Taiyuan Mansion. There are twelve places in total. Make up your mind to take the adults there one by one." Meng Qiang said modestly.

Liu Jinyun and Shen Du looked at each other, feeling suddenly uneasy.Meng Qiang's words were obviously reminded, and it seemed that Luo Bingguang would still not show up.Although things were progressing according to their expectations, it was so smooth that it seemed unusual.
"In that case, I will trouble Lieutenant Meng." Liu Jinyun said, even if he had doubts in his heart, he would not speak out.

As Meng Qiang said, he quickly gathered the Xiangyang Guard soldiers stationed in Longshan.Xiangyangwei's martial arts arena is not huge enough to hold these 3 people, and some are directly displayed on the mountain, standing in front of Liu Jinyun and Shen Du, are the main and deputy generals and elite soldiers of each battalion.

Perseverance, fearlessness, and obedience are the best qualities of these soldiers, which are fully reflected in these people.It can be seen that these people have undergone hard training and have the will to obey absolutely, so they can be calm and undisturbed in such a big convening.

Seeing these people, Shen Du had a little more admiration for the General Luo who hadn't appeared yet.Just judging from the spirit of the soldiers, it can be seen that Luo Bingguang must have a set of soldiers.It is not easy to order troops to arrive.

Luo Bingguang has been serving as the general of Xiangyang Wei, and has been favored by the emperor, not without grounds.In addition to admiration, Shen Du is more dignified and vigilant. People like Luo Bingguang are too difficult to deal with!

The situation of Xiangyang Guard is still unknown, and it is not known how serious the situation of redundant troops here is.If it is within the acceptable range, if the redundant troops exceed imagination, then things will be difficult to handle.

Such a Xiangyang guard, what is hiding underneath? ——Shen Du couldn't imagine it.

Soon, Liu Jinyun and Shen Du knew why Meng Qiang went so smoothly.The soldiers gathered, and Ming Huang's imperial decree was announced, and the soldiers all responded obediently with "Yes", and then... nothing more.

When Liu Jinyun, Su Shiyong, Shen Du and others asked those generals respectively, they got no useful information except "I don't know", "I don't know", "Please check it yourself".
For example, how much food is allocated by the Xiangyang Guard every month, how many new soldiers are recruited by the Xiangyang Guard every year, and how much ordnance is used for training every month... None of the generals in charge of the soldiers knows these!

This seemingly cooperative attitude is actually a confrontational attitude, leaving Liu Jinyun and others helpless.The mouths of these generals can't be pried open at all, and they can't get any really useful news.Even if there is a bright yellow imperial decree, the effect is the same.

At this point, they realized that Luo Bingguang's influence and prestige in Xiangyang Guard had surpassed the deterrent power of imperial power.No wonder, Meng Qiang agreed to summon the soldiers, knowing that they would not be able to ask anything, so he was so relieved.

"Master Liu, the soldiers of Longshan are here. Look, do you want to order some first?" Meng Qiang bent down and asked for instructions.

The younger he is, the stronger the irony.

Liu Jinyun looked at him coldly, and replied: "Soldier, it's important, please ask Vice General Meng to bring up the roster."

When this happens, you can only see walking steps.

Soon, Meng Qiang sent up the list of soldiers.When the soldiers of Dading joined the army, they copied three rosters, one of which was kept in each guard itself, one of which was sent to the mansion to which the guard belonged, and the other was sent to the Ministry of War of Jingzhao for preservation.

This time when Liu Jinyun came to Xiangyang Guard, he naturally brought the roster of the Ministry of War with him. When passing by the Taiyuan government office, he asked Zheng Shiyong for the second roster.

Under such circumstances, the original roster of Xiangyang Guards is of course still preserved.To put it bluntly, they are also afraid that the Taiyuan Mansion and the Ministry of War will cheat.

The roster of these soldiers is very thick, and it took a lot of time to check and check them one by one, even if there were many officials and five hundred tiger soldiers.After some checks, there are still many soldiers who are not on the roster.

Regarding this matter, Meng Qiang smiled and said: "I wonder if my lord can show me the roster? Some soldiers have accidents, and some soldiers are patrolling in other places. It is normal that the names do not match."

He was not afraid of Liu Jinyun's further discussion. It didn't matter if he didn't match his name. Anyway, there were so many soldiers in the Xiangyang Guards. If one was missing, he would just need to make up for the other. "

In the same way, it can be proved that as for the extra soldiers, they will be found in another roster.In any case, the current situation is justified.

Liu Jinyun took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, knowing that the Xiangyang Guard had already made sufficient preparations.Now these [-] soldiers will have no problems.

Since there is no problem with the number of soldiers, let's check the account books first. The expenses of the Xijiang Guard's assets will always be recorded.

"No problem, the account books are well preserved, and I will order someone to fetch them." Meng Qiang said with a smile, fully cooperating with Liu Jinyun's request to see the account books, and immediately called a few soldiers and ordered them Go get the account book.

"That's great. I don't want to see any problems with the account books, Lieutenant Meng, don't you think so?" Su Shi interjected leisurely and put the words ahead.

Meng Qiang was so happy, it really made them worry too much, what the hell could they do?This was what Su Shiyong was worried about.Selfless and selfish, what's wrong with this account book?
"This is natural, this is natural." Meng Qiang still bent over and smiled, as if he didn't understand Su Shiyong's meaning.

Liu Jinyun and Shen Du were silent, they were waiting, waiting for the account book to be delivered, or waiting for Meng Qiang to have something wrong.

Soon, the soldiers who went to pick up the account books came back, but with empty hands, they replied with a bitter face: "Report to Lieutenant General, the room where the account books are stored caught fire last night, the account books... the account books were burned..."
"What? How is this possible? When Ben went to check last night, he was fine. How could he be burned? What's going on?" Meng Qiang asked incredulously, his face was as shocked as he wanted.

"It was the soldier on duty who took a nap and then knocked over the candle... There was nothing serious about it, except that the account book had been burned. The soldier on duty was terrified and committed suicide..." The soldier replied vaguely.

After being astonished, Meng Qiang said to Liu Jinyun with a mournful face, "My lord, what do you think about this? All the account books have been burned, I... I will make up these account books as soon as possible, and see if the generals of the battalions still have cashier records... "

Yiwei's expenditure account book was burned as soon as it was said to be burned. This is really ridiculous.Liu Jinyun and the others didn't believe it, but at such a coincidence, the account books were burned.A guard's account book was burned, but it was a capital offense, and the soldiers of Xiangyang Guards did not know how much they would be implicated!
Even so, Xiangyang Wei's account books were burned!It can be seen that the account books cannot be seen by those who order soldiers, otherwise the exposed problems will be more serious!
"Okay, okay, very good! I will definitely report this matter to the emperor! Deputy General Meng, you just wait for the emperor's punishment!" Liu Jinyun was so angry that he threw down these words angrily, and walked away.

Meng Qiang had a look of fear on his face, but he was not afraid at all in his heart.If he dared to do something like burning the account books, he was not afraid of the consequences.As long as there is nothing to be gained from ordering troops, Xiangyang Wei is still the general who has the final say, so what are you afraid of?
