Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 220 Is there a bounty for being a soldier?

It is the first lesson Liu Xie learned from Xun You not to affect the rhythm of the entire battlefield because of his personal affair.

Not to chill the hearts of the soldiers is a more important lesson that Liu Xie learned without a teacher.

EQ is always more effective than IQ, this is an iron law that everyone in the future is familiar with.How many high-spirited and powerful military generals in the Three Kingdoms ended up ruined because of their own personality flaws.At this point, Liu Xie was very lucky. He stepped on those unwilling loyal bones of 800 years and appreciated this transcendent concept.

When the celebration banquet was really set up, Liu Xie realized how wise his approach was.

Li Meng and Wang Fang, the two little remnants of Dong Zhuo, are entrenched in the east of the river, as if a mouse fell into a rice vat.From the old nest of the two, Liu Xie copied out almost half a year's annual income in the entire Guanzhong area.Before, Liu Xie still had a headache on how to deal with those prisoners, but now it seems that even if there are three times more, he can still bear it.

And when Liu Xie only took out a fraction of these treasures to reward the soldiers, Liu Xie saw the inexplicable excitement of these soldiers.

"Third brother, I have been a soldier for most of my life, but with His Majesty, not only can I have enough food every meal, but I can also receive rewards!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is really the lucky star of our soldiers!" The Han sergeant called 'Third Brother' held the copper coins in his hand, feeling that the coins were starting to heat up.However, he soon became confused: "That's not right, Xiaoer, you are the most common pawn like me, why do you have three or two more gold than my bounty?"

The soldier called 'Little Two' glanced at the gold in his hand, and the smile on his face suddenly faded.He also knew why he received three taels of gold more than the third brother, and felt embarrassed for a moment: "Perhaps, His Majesty made a mistake? Why don't Xiao Er give half of the three taels of gold to the third brother?"

"I don't want your money!" The third brother's expression also began to change. If he took Xiao Er's money, could he still be Xiao Er's third brother?Money is important, but in the military, there are more important things than money.

But... I'm really not reconciled.The third brother hesitated for a while, then got angry: "No, I'm going to ask Master Bo what's going on."

But just when the third brother, the thorn in the army, was about to contact the veteran who had also received less bounty, and was about to make trouble.But he was slapped on the forehead by someone. The third brother, who is familiar with the survival rules of the army, immediately wanted to draw a knife and fight with that man, but when he turned around and saw that it was his own Quhou, he immediately changed his face and said aggrievedly: "Boss, we don't want to make trouble, but we just want to ask, is your majesty sending the wrong message?"

"What's wrong?!" The Quhou was also very angry, because he had already gone to the owner, and instead of asking for his bounty back, he was even ridiculed: "Don't embarrass me anymore, you know Why is Xiao Er more than you three taels of gold? That's because when he heard the charge horn, he didn't hesitate at all, and cut down a corporal leader of the enemy army with a knife. The three taels of gold is the price of that corporal leader !"

After saying this sentence, the military officer became more and more angry, and even kicked the third brother's ass: "Don't think that I don't know what you did when you charged, you veterans, one by one You're so cunning that you're about to become a master! If you follow in front of Xiaoer, you won't scratch your skin, right? When you are a soldier and fight, you play with His Majesty. You think His Majesty is those eyeless idiots from the Xiliang Army before. ?!"

When the third brother heard this, he immediately lost his temper.This is what is advocated in the army. Once Lao Dier is exposed, everyone will feel ashamed.

However, many years of painful experience still made it difficult for him to accept such an explanation for a while. He boldly explained: "Boss, if you go to battle, you will lose your head. We can come back to Chang'an alive to enjoy the comfortable life. Do you want to be strong?"

"Be strong!" Qu Hou was really angry now, wishing he could slash the third brother's head with a big knife, but thinking of what General Xu Huang said to him, he still held back his temper and said:

"The general said, you people still don't know His Majesty, and those who don't know are innocent. Now I tell you, our Huben Southern Army will soon be different from before. As for the brothers who died in this battle, His Majesty has sent someone to Their corpses were collected and buried in the Tomb of Loyal Bones in Chang'an. Think about it, what a blessing it is to be able to sleep next to Mr. Lu and be his companion after death!"

"Then what's the point? After death, how can it be as happy as eating meat and drinking while alive?" The third brother whispered what he was thinking. It's no wonder that he doesn't have any honor as a soldier. feel.It was really because this troubled world was so ruthless and unreasonable that he couldn't think of anything other than wanting to survive.

But who knew that although his words were whispered, they were still heard by Qu Hou, who was so angry that Qu Hou kicked up again: "You know what a fart! I will tell you now, if you really die in battle, you can Received a hundred times the money for burning and burying in your hands now. Your mother and child will no longer have to suffer for the rest of their lives, and when they walk on the street, who would dare to be rude to such martyrs' relatives?"

"Besides, I also heard that His Majesty plans to revive the Taixue, and give priority to recruiting the children of martyrs. Think about it, you old boy, if you die in battle in exchange for your son to become a literate scholar, that's how much is your ancestral grave?" The green smoke that can come out in a lifetime?"

"Really? The brother who died in this battle can be treated so favorably by His Majesty?" The third brother was excited, and Qu Hou told him that he didn't care about anything else.But when it comes to these major interests that are actually related to the fate of his family, he can no longer pretend to be deaf.

You know, living in this troubled world, human life is cheaper than a dog, and there is no hope at all.And if a knife on the battlefield can change the fate of the family, this is a good thing that they have never imagined for their miserable soldiers, and it is completely worth fighting for.

For the sturdy men whose average life expectancy in this Guanzhong is less than 30 years old, they never spared their lives.Even for an old man like Third Brother, the reason why he didn't want to die was because he was afraid that his death would be too wrongful and worthless.

However, hearing these words in the ears of those oily veterans is naturally a great gospel.But for Xiao Er, it was very difficult.He scratched his head and couldn't help asking Qu Hou: "Boss, if an orphan like me has no parents and no children, who should we pay for the burning and burial?"

Asking this sentence out of the mouth immediately attracted loud laughter from this place.At this time, the third brother didn't want the three taels of gold any more, and patted Xiaoer's shoulder and laughed jokingly: "You silly boy, haven't you tasted the taste of a woman yet? You don't understand what your majesty means, just let your boy first Save this life, and then take your gold back to ask for a wife and a baby!"

"Hehehe...it seems to be like this." Instead of getting angry at the third brother's molestation, the shy little second patted himself on the head shyly, and said to the third brother: "Then third brother, next time you charge When killing the enemy, I will not rob you. You should also kill more thieves and generals. Your Majesty is unparalleled, and he will win every battle. It is not a big deal to kill a few more people!"

"You kid, don't try to learn from the third brother. You are young and strong, and your majesty did not treat you badly at that meal. After eating the meal of the Han Dynasty, you still think that you will not work hard and lose your face?" Quhou laughed and scolded Road, and then dropped another blockbuster:
"Let me tell you, Xiao Er, you have already been recorded in the credit book, and you can get some good land according to this military merit after you go back. If you kill a few more enemy generals, you will be promoted to my position soon. When the time comes , take you a lot of rewards and fertile land, go back and buy a house, what kind of daughter-in-law can't get it?"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Er and San Ge's eyes turned red.Especially the third brother, he was so regretful that his intestines were green: "His grandma, Xiao Er, I taught you the ability to behead people. You said your majesty, why didn't your majesty tell you in advance?" My son... Otherwise, how could it be his second son's turn for this military exploits, my third son was once a fierce soldier on the battlefield!"

The veterans on the side listened to the third brother's complaints, and all of them felt the same way.A few of them were brainy, and they immediately stepped forward to please Qu Hou: "Boss, tell me, when will we fight again? After killing King Li Meng, it wasn't that there was still Fan Chou at Jiguan." Well."

"Uh..." Qu Hou scratched his head. This kind of important military affairs is not something he can know at his level.But just when he was about to reprimand these veterans for drinking and eating meat, he saw a scout galloping quickly, and shouted in the military newspaper: "There is movement at Jiguan. People came to discuss the matter of submitting to the imperial court."

"Hey!"

Immediately, upon hearing the good news, the whole barracks showed a rare look of annoyance for the first time, and they all cursed: "Fan Chou, Fan Chou, you hear this name, it makes people feel so worried, hey!"
