"Sir, this Staff Zhang has gone too far. Even if he doesn't want to get rich, he won't let us get rich. The entire five hundred taels of silver are just gone." A military general said angrily.
Another general on the side also said: "Sir, Zhang Wenhe has cut off our financial path."
"Maybe he just didn't want us to get rich, but he made a fortune himself." Another general said in a strange tone.
Several generals were talking about their dissatisfaction with Zhang Wenhe.
"I know what happened at Guojiazhuang." General Xu said, "It's not like I brought back ten sheep and a few stones of rice. Each of you can share a share and take some away. It doesn't count as returning empty-handed."
"Sir, this is not a matter of a few sheep and a few buckets of rice." A general next to General Xu said, "Zhang Wenhe, relying on himself as the governor's staff, did not treat those of us in Fubiao Camp at all. Take it seriously."
"Yes, sir, we can't just let it go this time."
Other generals echoed the words of the man in front.
"Otherwise, what do you want?" General Xu looked at the several Fubiao camp generals in front of him.
These people are all powerful generals of Fubiao Camp, and he is not easy to offend, but it does not mean that these people can point fingers at his decisions. After all, he is the commander of Fubiao Camp.
The few generals standing in front of him suddenly became speechless.
However, he didn't say anything about it, but his face was full of dissatisfaction.
General Xu said in a deep voice: "That's it. Everyone will get something back to the camp. As for the money, let's pretend it's nothing."
"I will obey my orders."
Several generals bowed and saluted General Xu.
Not getting the desired results, several generals resigned one after another and returned to their own camps.
As soon as these people left, the soldiers beside General Xu whispered: "Sir, this time Mr. Zhang's incident has made several adults in the camp very dissatisfied. Do you want me to go to Zhuangzi again and look for the Guo family? "
General Xu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to go. If I am not mistaken, Zhang Wenhe has already received money from the Guo family. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand up for the Guo family for nothing."
"Yes." The soldier responded with his fists clasped and his waist bowed.
As a private soldier, he naturally has to obey the orders of his general.
General Xu stood in his tent and said, "There is one more thing that you need to do secretly."
"Sir, please speak." The soldier stepped forward and handed it to him.
General Xu said in a low voice: "Zhang Wenhe has already made a grudge with our Fubiao camp. He cannot be left to go back to the governor to give me eye drops. So this time to suppress bandits, you have to keep an eye on him secretly and look for opportunities." Get rid of this person.”
"Don't worry, sir. When the bandits in Daliang Mountain are captured, my subordinates will take the opportunity to let a few of them go, and Zhang Wenhe will definitely die in the hands of the bandits." The soldier promised.
Now that the master of the family was going to kill Zhang Wenhe, he simply stopped calling Mr. Zhang and just called his name.
General Xu nodded and said: "Okay, let's get down."
As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal the other party to retreat.
"My subordinates retire." The soldier bowed and exited the general's camp.
General Xu was sitting alone in the tent, his face suddenly darkened.
A few hundred taels of silver is definitely not a small amount. Fubiao camp does not even have 500 taels of silver for a month's salary.
Based on his understanding of Zhang Wenhe, it was impossible for such a greedy person to kindly stand up for Guo Juren and waive the five hundred taels of silver just because he knew Guo Juren from Guojiazhuang.
He believed that Zhang Wenhe must have received benefits from the Guo family.
Now, because Zhang Wenhe was greedy for money alone, Fubiao Camp failed to get the money, and several generals from Fubiao Camp came to him as the commander to question him.
This made him very dissatisfied.
And his Fubiao Battalion is different from the frontier troops guarding the border forts in Datong. The guards at those border forts are all from the General Military Mansion, and they all benefit from the smuggling business. His Fubiao Battalion guards Datong. , as a close soldier beside the governor, he himself does not have much fortune. Five hundred taels of silver may not be much for the guard of the border fort, but for his Fubiao battalion, it is definitely a large sum of money.
He didn't say anything about the loss of such a large sum of money, but in his heart he was very angry that Zhang Wenhe didn't take him and his Fubiao camp seriously.
Moreover, he believed that as long as Guo Juren gave Zhang Wenhe money, Zhang Wenhe would definitely take it with him. As long as Zhang Wenhe was removed, the money would still fall into his hands.
The night passed.
At a quarter past three o'clock, Zhang Wenhe came out of Guojiazhuang in a sedan and returned to the camp outside the village.
It was noon in more than a quarter of an hour. Fortunately, Fubiao Camp only had two meals a day, so noon could also be used to rush on the road. The soldiers in the camp had another night and morning of rest, so they did not delay their journey.
After passing Guojiazhuang, there was not much distance left on the Daliang Mountain Road. In less than 1 hour, the Fubiao Battalion army arrived at the foot of Daliang Mountain.
Zhang Wenhe took the initiative to approach General Xu in a sedan chair.
"General Xu, we have arrived at Daliang Mountain. I will not go up the mountain with General Xu. I will stay at the bottom of the mountain and wait for the good news of General Xu's return after victory."
As a scholar, he cherishes his life very much. The so-called gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, but he can be regarded as a gentleman no matter how he raises people.
General Xu knew that Zhang Wenhe was afraid of death, but how could he allow Zhang Wenhe to stay at the foot of the mountain? He said: "Mr. Zhang should go up the mountain with me. After we capture the bandit's nest, we can camp in the bandit's stronghold tonight, and Mr. Zhang He is the supervisor of the army, so it is not good if he does not go with the army."
"There's nothing wrong with it, that's it! I'll stay here at the foot of the mountain." Zhang Wenhe shook his sleeves unhappily.
General Xu stood in front of the sedan and said, "Mr. Zhang, after a while the soldiers and bandits from Fubiao camp start to attack. It is inevitable that some of the bandits will escape and escape down the mountain. At this time, it is too dangerous for Mr. Zhang to stay at the foot of the mountain." , If something really happens, I won’t be able to explain it to the governor, so it would be safer to go up the mountain with me."
Zhang Wenhe in the sedan frowned, feeling that what the other party said made sense.
Although he brought a few people from Guojiazhuang to stay with him as guards, the bandits on the mountain were all fierce people. If he really encountered them at the bottom of the mountain, he was not sure that these few people around him would be able to protect him.
Thinking about it this way, it would be safer to stay with Fu Biaoying.
Thinking of this, he said to General Xu who was standing in front of him: "Since General Xu believes that it is better for me to move with the army, then I will go up the mountain with the army."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. You are the supervisor and the most capable staff member beside the governor. I will definitely protect you," General Xu assured.
"Then there's General Rao Xu." Zhang Wenhe cupped his hands.
General Xu turned to look at the soldiers beside him and ordered: "Xu You, please bring some people to guard Mr. Zhang. Remember, you must ensure Mr. Zhang's safety."
"yes."
Soldier Xu You agreed and led a team of people to stay around Zhang Wenhe's sedan.
