Chapter 590 Instigation

Bei Gongchun did not want to have a dispute with Zhao Erlang on this matter. If the money was taken out of bounds, a big feud between the armies was likely to occur.

Aren’t there lessons learned from Wang Mi and Liu Cong before?

Why did the two of them end up dead and defeated in Luoyang?

Isn't the original reason because Wang Mi and Liu Cong were competing for profit, and they both got too much?

Seeing that Bei Gongchun did not agree, Zuo Du couldn't help but regret. If he had known that he would not have followed General Huang back, he should have led his men to kill first and then report.

I don’t know if it’s too late to go now.

Bei Gongchun seemed to know what he was thinking. He glanced at him and said: "Let's put this matter aside. You are not allowed to make your own decisions. After the Dragon Boat Festival, I will discuss it with General Zhao Er."

"Then what if General Zhao doesn't agree? The bandits on the mountain must be very fat. If the commander finds out, he will favor General Zhao. By then we won't even be able to drink soup."

Bei Gongchun glanced at him indifferently, and Zuo Du immediately did not dare to speak, and could only watch such an opportunity to make money go away from him.

With a family, the money and military achievements they earn in the future will no longer be like duckweed. Once they die, they will disappear, but will fall on their family members.

In the past, because their families were far away in Xiliang, they didn't know whether they would be able to go back in their lifetime, so every time they grabbed something and made money, they squandered it immediately.

The fact that Luoyang City was able to regain its vitality so quickly was partly due to them, because they were not lenient at all in spending money, so that there was not much meat in the army in the previous month, but they often went to the city to open their own small stoves in private.

Now that all the money has been spent, their family members have also arrived, and they are shocked to realize that they are short of money.

Alas, if I had known better, I would not have been so squandering before.

Because there were family members around, they also began to think about making money.

As soldiers, there are only two recognized legal ways to make money. One is to get military pay on their hair. You don’t have to think about this one. It’s so difficult for you to support them. It’s a problem to support them, let alone pay military pay;

Another way is to fight!

You can grab things by fighting, and you can also loot things from dead people and prisoners.

After the family settled down and the luggage they brought was put away, the soldiers discovered that their home was a bit shabby. The most important thing was that the rice jars at home were empty.

So someone went to hang around Bei Gongchun and said, "General, your Majesty has not only been kind to us in saving our lives, but also kind in knowing us. If she hadn't brought us out of Chang'an, we might still be suffering in Chang'an right now." "

Bei Gongchun: It was obviously him who brought them out of Chang'an, but it was indeed Zhao Hanzhang who sent someone to invite them.

"Now that he has gone to such trouble to move our family to Luoyang for reunion, it is such a great kindness and we should repay it."

"Yes, general, we are willing to go to pieces for the general and the envoy."

Bei Gongchun interrupted their passionate speech and asked: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"General, now Luoyang is under the control of the envoys, and the surrounding counties are also attached to Luoyang. It is just because there is no emperor's will that they are in such an unclear stalemate. If you ask me, it is better to send troops. The generals have not yet The counties that have been conquered have all received their subordinates and the county magistrates have been reassigned, and Henan County should be in the hands of the envoy."

"Yes, only by gathering the entire Henan County in our hands can Luoyang be safe."

Bei Gongchun: "...Did you eat deer blood?"

He said: "Shijun and Mr. Ji can take care of this matter. We just need to train the soldiers and wait for orders."

He paused and then said: "Your Majesty has just moved the capital to Yuncheng. The fact that you have taken over two counties without county magistrates is enough to attract people's attention. No matter what, it is impossible to take action now, so I have to worry about your thoughts. Put them all away.”

There are no county magistrates in Gucheng and Xin'an, and Gucheng has become an empty city, so Zhao Hanzhang directly appointed county magistrates and sent troops to garrison. Although Yuncheng was dissatisfied, they would not be too tough.

But it would be different if Zhao Hanzhang directly took over the entire Henan County without the emperor's consent.

I heard that the emperor sent some money and food to Fu Zhi in Chang'an, just to let him develop and contain Zhao Hanzhang.

In fact, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army have never been able to understand the emperor and Fu Zhi. Fu Zhi's grandson Fu Tinghan is in Luoyang. Who doesn't know that he and Zhao Hanzhang are of the same mind and he is her right-hand man. How can the emperor still trust Fu Zhi so much?

The same goes for Fu Zhi. His own grandson didn't help, but instead helped the emperor. He really didn't understand.

Several people were disappointed, and they knew that it was no longer possible to cause trouble for Gou Xi and to seize territory from him. "Then we send troops to merge with the state? How about seizing a few villages and towns south of Shangdang? It is summer harvest time now, go and seize it, You can also grab this year’s new wheat.”

Bei Gongchun's heart was moved, and then he thought seriously, "I'll go ask the envoy for instructions."

Some people also went to hang out with Huang An and Zuo Du.

The people hanging around Huang An said to him: "Vice-General Huang, we also know that the general is sad. The housing allowance must be gone. Then we can't let the family eat bran throat vegetables, right? It's better to take advantage of the high morale now, Let’s go fight with the Xiongnu and Xianbei.”

The people looking for Zuo Du were generals and subordinates who had a good relationship with him. "I heard from your people that you discovered a bandit den today and the people there are very fat."

Zuo Dou knew what they wanted to say. When the Xiliang Army was having the most difficult time, they also went to rob bandits, oh, they were suppressing bandits.

He said: "Don't think about it. The general said that is General Zhao Er's territory. Even if you want to fight, you have to say hello to General Zhao Er."

"General Zhao Er is looking for people to train troops everywhere. Not only the Xin'an area, but also the small bandits scattered in the wilds of Luoyang have been wiped out by him. If he notices Haierling, is there still a chance for us to take action?"

"The general is too disciplined..." He couldn't help but murmured: "In this kind of thing, whoever robs it is the one who gets it. Even if you dare to rob territory from the emperor, aren't we just robbing a bunch of bandits?"

Zuo Du glared at the other party and said: "Can the emperor compete with Shijun? Moreover, the emperor is far away in Yuncheng and has no control over Luoyang, but Shijun is in Luoyang, and Hao'erling is not far away."

"General Zhao Er is still the envoy's younger brother. The general abides by the rules and does not want to have any conflicts or quarrels with General Zhao Er." Zuo Du said: "Let's wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival. You can have a good reunion with your family these two days."

Helpless, they could only put up with it for the time being.

But it’s really heart-wrenching that there aren’t enough supplies for the reunion.

Before nightfall, Fu An walked into the study lightly, glanced at Zhao Hanzhang who was working at the desk, approached Fu Tinghan and whispered: "Lang Jun, Gao Jie and the others are back."

Fu Tinghan raised his head and asked, "What did they bring back?"

Fu An lowered his voice and said: "There are a large number of furs and sheep. This time he also exchanged colored glaze for a batch of books, which Jiehu had robbed from the East China Sea King's army before."
