Although Han Shizhong was unwilling, he still took Fang La's body and left.
"Brother, why did you give him Fang La's body?"
Lu Fang looked at Sun Lei and asked, they have the advantage, there is no need for this.
"Fang La's body is not for Han Shizhong, it is for the officers and soldiers."
Sun Lei smiled.
"Officers and soldiers?"
Everyone was puzzled.
"Fang La's head can be exchanged for two town festival axes. Do you know how many people are jealous of it?"
Sun Lei said with a smile that although there were many wars in the Song Dynasty, there were not many real victories, which made it difficult for officers to be promoted based on their martial arts. Now Fang La's head can be exchanged for the official position of Jiedushi.
"But didn't all the heads go to Han Shizhong?"
Yue Fei asked doubtfully.
"Do you think he, a deputy lieutenant in Jinyi, can take such a big share of credit? The imperial court divides military attaches into fifty-three ranks. The first rank is a lieutenant of the second rank. Han Shizhong is not a rank below the fifty-third rank. The deputy lieutenant of Jinyi, and the Jiedu envoys of the two towns can be regarded as crossing from the second rank to the fifty-second rank in one step! There was no such reward at the founding of the Song Dynasty, right?"
Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and said, this is equivalent to a small soldier being directly promoted to a general. Even if the emperor is willing, the civil and military officials of the dynasty will not be willing.
"The emperor has spoken!"
Yue Fei was indeed educated in a traditional way, and the emperor's words were golden rules.
"Zhao Ji also said that he would govern the world well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment! Do you still take it seriously?"
Sun Lei smiled.
"What's more, Han Shizhong can't hold on to this credit. It's estimated that it will be snatched away by others before he reaches the military camp!"
Sun Lei spoke again.
"Take it away? Steal military glory!"
Yue Fei's face was full of surprise, he couldn't even think of such a thing.
"Boy, it's so rare! You've never seen the darkness of officialdom! Look at Master Lu, a powerful general of the Western Army who made countless contributions under Zhong Shidao. What's the result? He made a small mistake, and the accompanying supervisor said a word , rushed directly to Weizhou to serve as governor."
"Wang Jin and Lin Chong have worked diligently to train the soldiers in the Forbidden Army, and their contributions are not small. But even if they have been diligent for more than ten years, they are still a coach!"
"But some people, like Gao Qiu, don't know anything and don't understand anything, but they can rise to the top and have countless achievements on their resumes! Where did they come from? Apart from fraud, aren't they just robbed!"
Sun Lei patted Yue Fei on the shoulder.
"This is in the army, so we shouldn't take it hard!"
Yue Fei still didn't believe it. It was possible for Shangguan to take credit for his work, but robbery was hard to accept. How could there be such a shameless person?
"elder brother!"
Shi Qian's voice sounded.
"Caught up?"
Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and asked.
"No, that guy was caught by Xin Xingzong!"
Shi Qian shook his head and said.
"Xin Xingzong is here?"
Sun Lei asked with a frown.
"Right behind the mountain, there are five thousand troops!"
Shi Qian replied.
"Han Shizhong can't escape after all. Xin Xingzong is not a good guy! He will never let go of this credit!"
Sun Lei said with a smile that he remembered that Xin Xingzong was the one who took away the credit for Han Shizhong's capture of Fang La.
…
"What are you talking about, Sun Lei is in front?"
Xin Xingzong looked at Fang Tianding in front of him and asked coldly.
"Yes, Sun Lei is intercepting and killing us!"
Fang Tianding said quickly.
"Hmph, you still want to deceive me? You and Sun Lei are both rebels. Sun Lei is in Yangzhou now. Did he fly here with wings?"
Xin Xingzong sneered, and whipped Fang Tianding on the face. With a "pop" sound, a blood mark was drawn from Fang Tianding's face.
"Go quickly!"
Xin Xingzong ordered, if Fang Tianding appears here, Fang La will definitely not be far away.
Not long after leaving, Xin Xingzong met Han Shizhong who was returning.
"Han Shizhong, why are you here?"
When Xin Xingzong saw that it was Han Shizhong, his face suddenly darkened. Han Shizhong was Liu Yanqing's subordinate, and he had sent Liu Yanqing to fight against Muzhou.
"The last general was ordered to pursue the remnants of Fang La!"
Han Shizhong frowned slightly and cupped his fists at Xin Xingzong.
"Who asked you to come? Your mission is to fight against Muzhou!"
Xin Xingzong's voice became cold and stern. In his opinion, Han Shizhong was here to steal the credit.
Han Shizhong saw Xin Xingzong's hostility. He was unwilling to talk to Xin Xingzong and prepared to leave with his soldiers.
"Wait, what is that!"
Xin Xingzong suddenly saw the stretcher carried by the soldiers behind Han Shizhong, covered with white cloth.
"Fang La's body! Fang La is dead. I will go to Hangzhou to pay my respects to Tong Xiang."
Han Shizhong said.
"Fang La's body? Fang La is dead!"
Xin Xingzong was pleasantly surprised at first, but immediately looked at the stretcher with a greedy look on his face. It was the official position of Jiedushi.
Han Shizhong didn't speak, he just wanted to leave.
"Stop! Will I let you go?"
When Xin Xingzong saw that Han Shizhong was leaving, he immediately turned his face and questioned Han Shizhong.
"At the end of the day, General Xin has to go back to life. If General Xin wants to hunt down the thief, he can continue!"
Han Shizhong said coldly that Xin Xingzong had always looked down on him, and he was too lazy to talk to Xin Xingzong, so he just let Xin Xingzong suffer the loss from Sun Lei.
"Leaving Fang La's body, you, a deputy lieutenant in Jinyi, have no qualifications to meet Tong Xiang! Just leave it to me!"
Xin Xingzong looked at Han Shizhong and said, the army behind him had blocked the road, preventing Han Shizhong and others from leaving.
"General Xin, what do you mean?"
Han Shizhong's face was cold. He never expected that Xin Xingzong would grab it openly.
"Hand over Fang La's body!"
Xin Xingzong said.
"What if I don't!"
Han Shizhong also became angry. Xin Xingzong was usually arrogant, but now he was robbing him in front of the army. He couldn't hold it back.
"No?"
Xin Xingzong's face turned cold, and he waved his hand immediately. The soldiers behind him opened their bows and fired arrows. The dense arrows instantly killed and injured dozens of people on Han Shizhong's side.
"How dare you do it!"
Han Shizhong's eyes were about to burst, and Xin Xingzong actually killed his own people. These soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of his own people.
"I say it again, hand over Fang La!"
Xin Xingzong said with a murderous look on his face that he was bound to get Fang La's body, and he would not hesitate to kill all Han Shizhong and the others.
Everyone on Han Shizhong's side was so frightened that their legs were shaking. Xin Xingzong actually killed them. This was completely beyond their knowledge, but they did not dare to fight back. Killing each other was a taboo in the army. If Xin Xingzong dared, they would not dare.
Han Shizhong was so angry that he clutched the pen knife tightly, and the pen knife shook slightly. Han Shizhong was so angry that he wanted to go up and scratch Xin Xingzong, but he did not dare to kill Shangguan. This crime was enough to destroy his clan.
"I won't hand it over either!"
Xin Xingzong had expected this situation a long time ago and killed people just to intimidate. Now everyone on the opposite side has been frightened, and Fang La is in his pocket.
As for killing dozens of soldiers, this is a harmless thing, just report them dead in battle.
Before Han Shizhong could speak, the soldiers handed over Fang La's body.
"It's really Fang La's corpse! Haha!"
After Xin Xingzong confirmed it, he laughed loudly. With Fang La's body there, the first victory in wiping out the Ming Cult belonged to him. (End of chapter)
