Chapter 20 Heavy Duty
Zhang Hu and the big man looked at each other and charged towards each other without saying a word.
The dull sound of sword strikes continued, and the two attacked each other in the blink of an eye. A small hole was pierced by the big man's sword in Zhang Hu's right chest shirt, and a deep mark was also cut off on the big man's left shoulder leather armor, and there was faint blood seeping out.
Zhang Hu smiled proudly: "Huo Biao, you are not my opponent!"
The big man named Huo Biao spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, took a few steps back, and put away his long sword. He glared at Zhang Hu, looked at Wu Qi with a sullen look and said with a sneer: "Boy, you have caused a fatal accident! The person who was injured by you was the treasurer of the Xiaomeng City Guards. You are running for your life now, I bet you will be killed if you can't escape fifty miles away!"
The skinny man who was held by Wuqi also hissed: "Reverse, reverse, you gang of pariahs, how dare you attack me? Come on, come on, take it down, take it down, Take them all! The whole city is under martial law, and the Tiger Academy has been copied! Kill officials to rebel, kill officials to rebel!"
Footsteps sounded in all directions, and a team of city guards in black clothes and black armor rushed over, raising their spears and halberds, aiming at the Mengcun people surrounding the door of the treasury. The men in Mengcun looked at each other in dismay, and those with impulsive tempers had already drawn their swords.
Another slap in the face was slapped on the Treasurer's face. This slap cracked his cheekbones, and the Treasurer no longer had the strength to scream except for a long howl. Wuqi slapped his face with a palm, looked at Huo Biao and said with a sneer, "I bet that the person who can't get along in Xiaomengcheng must be you, believe it or not?"
Huo Biao's expression changed, he looked at Wu Qi, then at the treasurer, and suddenly took a few steps back.
Zhang Hu laughed loudly, pointed the tip of his knife to Huo Biao and shouted sharply: "Huo Biao, I also bet, you offended little brother Wuqi, you should be running for your life from Xiaomengcheng! Ha, without you bastards here Xiaomengcheng is an eyesore, and Xiaomengcheng's wells will be much cleaner in the future!"
The city guards outside the public house shouted in unison, and the general who led the team shouted sharply: "Listen to the people in the house, let go of the treasurer, leave the beggar, raise your hands, and come out! Otherwise, shoot to kill, shoot to kill!"
There was a sound of 'clanging', and the Mengcun people pulled out their weapons. Seeing that they didn't agree with each other, they were about to join the city guards. There was only one thought in the simple minds of these Meng villagers. Zhang Hu and Wu Qi were both friends in their village. When friends encountered trouble, they would naturally draw their swords to help them. As for the consequences of offending the City Guard, they haven't had time to think so far!
Lu Chengfeng glanced at these Mengcun people in surprise and admiration, he coughed lightly, and raised the iron plate hanging on his waist. He shouted sharply: "I am the newly appointed Dianjun Lu Chengfeng, please put away your weapons and return to your posts!"
As soon as the iron plate came out, the city guards immediately put away their weapons. The leader of the city guard army led the sergeants to kneel on one knee and solemnly saluted Lu Chengfeng.
The treasurer, whose cheeks were swollen after being beaten by Wuqi and whose face was covered in blood, shouted vaguely, "You bastards, come and save me! If something happens to me, my son won't spare you. He is just a small army, my son is the city guard, he is the city guard!"
Those city guards were shocked, and stood up in unison, the spears and halberds in their hands were aimed at the Mengcun people in front of the treasury room again.
Lu Chengfeng was furious, and he shouted sharply: "Bold, as a city guard, disobeying the orders of the Dian army, this is disobedience and chaos! Do you want to be slaughtered? Put down your weapons and stand aside!"
Some of the city guards flicked their wrists, and their weapons almost didn't fall off. But they still grabbed their weapons and aimed firmly at the people of Mengcun.
Lu Chengfeng's face became extremely ugly, he looked back at the treasurer whose face was covered in blood, and sneered: "It turns out that the order of a mere treasurer is more effective than the order of my Dianjun. Xiaomengcheng's order is more effective. City Guards, as expected, wonderful, indescribably wonderful!"
The city guard general who led the team looked at Lu Chengfeng in embarrassment,
He muttered in a low voice, "Lord Dianjun, please don't make it difficult for us!"
Before Lu Chengfeng said a word, Wuqi had already laughed. He threw the treasurer on the ground and stomped on his right shoulder. With a 'click' sound, the treasurer twisted frantically, hissing and screaming, his left hand covered his shattered right shoulder, and after twisting a few times like a loach, he rolled his eyes and fainted. past.
Wu Qi shouted sharply: "Lu Guo's military discipline, those who do not obey the military orders!"
Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, and he shouted: "Cut!"
Xiao Hei let out a roar like a mad bull, and his muscles rose up, clenched his halberd and stabbed the stunned General of the City Guard carefully. The general never dreamed that Lu Chengfeng would brazenly give the order to kill him. The halberd pierced through the leather armor on his body, revealing a three-foot-long section from his vest.
Xiao Hei sneered, and with an effort on his arms, he raised the general and threw it out heavily. The general's corpse carried a blood spring, which flew out more than ten meters away, and fell down at the door of the Dianminguan's lobby, spattering a large amount of blood.
Outside the Dianminguan lobby, the idle people who were watching the excitement screamed in horror and dispersed. Several of the subordinate officials in the lobby walked out of the lobby in horror, and looked over here, but no one dared to say a word.
A large group of city guards rushed towards this side in a hurry. They looked at the corpses of their colleagues who fell to the ground in horror. The city guards of seven or eight hundred people stood stiffly on the square, and their complicated eyes were constantly on Lu. Swept back and forth between Cheng Feng and the fallen general.
Wuqi walked to Lu Chengfeng's side, he shouted sharply: "This is an example, you all look at it! Those who do not obey Dian Jun's military orders will be killed without mercy! You are the city guards of Xiaomeng City, and you must obey the Dian Jun. Lord Jun's order, otherwise, it will be regarded as disobedience and rebellion!"
The city guards swayed when they heard the sound, and the hands of several middle-level generals who were holding their weapons slowly loosened, and they lowered their heads without saying a word.
Lu Chengfeng shouted in a cold voice: "Send an order to summon all the generals above the lieutenant. This officer will order the generals today. Count a hundred times, and those who fail to reach will be killed!"
Xiao Hei walked to the snare drum outside the Dianjun lobby, and beat the snare drum directly with his fist. The dull drum sound spread out and spread throughout the entire Xiaomeng City in the blink of an eye. Every time he hit the drum head, Xiao Hei counted hard.
Soon there were dense footsteps from outside the square, and the generals of Xiaomengcheng lieutenant and higher came one after another. When they saw the blood and corpses on the ground, they couldn't help but freeze, and the expressions of several people became very strange, and there was a hint of fear in the eyes of Lu Chengfeng.
Zhang Hu and others saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the Mengcun people and drove the thirty or so carts away from here. Before leaving, he gestured to Wuqi and expressed his gratitude to Wuqi. Wu Qi just clenched his fists in return, and didn't say much.
By the time Xiao Hei thumped a hundred snare drums, the Dianjun Hall was already filled with more than 130 generals at the rank of lieutenant and above. These generals are the commanders of the nearly 8,000 city guards in Xiaomeng City. Among them, there are actually 18 generals with the highest military rank.
Wu Qi didn't know the military system of Lu State, but Lu Chengfeng was so angry that his teeth were shaking.
According to the military system of the State of Lu, three thousand people make up a brigade, and the highest officer of a brigade is a general. Xiaomeng City's less than 8,000 city guards have at most three generals. Now there are eighteen generals and forty captains in front of them, and the rest are all senior military captains. What is this for? It is clear that the officers are overstaffed, and these people are all mixed in the city guards to eat dry food.
In addition to these super-staffed generals, the four major officials, Treasurer, Sima, Secretary, and Siman, also all had the surname Yi. Like the treasurer who was injured by Wuqi, the other three were Yi Yan's close servants.
Lu Chengfeng, whose face was as heavy as water, stood high in the hall, and his right hand heavily knocked on the koan in front of him.
Wuqi sat beside Lu Chengfeng and laughed in a low voice: "Eight thousand city guards, how much is the annual military salary? What is the annual military expenditure? Wei's food and drink expenses, food, drink, whoring and gambling expenses! Little Mengcheng, there are really eight thousand city guards?"
Lu Chengfeng's body trembled.
Wu Qi squinted his eyes and laughed, he didn't believe that Yi Yan, the fat fat man, would spend his private money to support these super-strange generals. So the answer is obvious, these generals are taking empty pay, maybe there are other activities such as reselling weapons, in short, the mess is indispensable.
Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly, his cold eyes slowly swept across the many generals in the hall, and after a long time he shouted in a low voice: "Tomorrow at noon, the whole city will have a military parade. You generals, which of your generals does not meet the requirements of the military system? Take off your armor and get out!"
The generals all looked up at Lu Chengfeng, and some of the generals suddenly showed a mocking smile. Many people didn't even salute Lu Chengfeng, the Dianjun, so they turned around and walked out of the Dianjun lobby.
The furious Lu Chengfeng squeezed his right palm, and his palm fell silently into the koan made of sandalwood. He murmured in a low voice, "Just lawless, lawless!"
Wu Qi sighed, he shook his head and smiled and said: "Young master, better prepare for a big blood change, the city guards in this small Mengcheng are already rotten!"
Fiercely, Wu Qi remembered the city guards of the Tianzi No. 3 Battalion stationed in Mengcun. It was an out-and-out elite, and the generals leading the army were also full of sturdy aura, which was completely different from the aura of the more than 100 generals in the hall just now, and I don't know why.
After a while of silence, Wu Qi suggested, "Then Sima, Si Ye, and Si Man should also be driven away, right?"
Lu Chengfeng grabbed the pen and paper on the case without saying a word, quickly wrote four official documents, and drove away the four lieutenants under his command, the treasurer, Sima, the servant, and the man. After pondering for a while, he filled out four more official documents. He appointed Lao Hei as the new treasurer, Xiao Hei as the new Sima, Wu Qi as the new Sima, and Zhang Hu as the new secretary.
Wuqi looked at Lu Chengfeng's new appointment document, but kept shaking his head.
Lao Hei was an old servant by Lu Chengfeng's side. He was loyal and mature, and he was also useful in managing the city guard's warehouse.
Simanfang doesn't have much business. Every day, he counts the heads of barbarians and exchanges one hundred dollars for each head. This job is easy.
As for himself, Wu Qi is not humble, not to mention the small Mengcheng Sima, in this generation of cold weapons, it is unequivocal for him to think that he is a general who will lead the army. Supported by Le Xiaobai's abnormal intelligence and knowledge, it is not difficult to march and fight.
It's just that the last appointment document is difficult, difficult.
"Brother Zhang Hu, I'm afraid that you don't want to be the servant of this Lao Shizi!" Wu Qi told Lu Chengfeng very bluntly.
Lu Chengfeng rolled his eyes, squinted at Wu Qi and said, "As the chief disciple of this young master, you should solve this kind of thing!"
Wu Qi stared at Lu Chengfeng blankly, his mouth wide open and he was speechless.
