On the grassland, in a pasture close to the Daqingshan Mountains, there were many yurts, and the people who came in and out were all unruly horse bandits.
"Master, what do they mean? They left us here and didn't care?"
The speaker was Tu Sha. Ever since he was incorporated into the Tiger Banner along with Tu La, he was placed in a yurt on this pasture and was not allowed to leave the pasture at will.
Tu La picked up a piece of pancake, grabbed a few pieces of mutton on the plate and rolled them up. At the same time, he said: "Why are you not satisfied with eating and drinking? Sit down and eat first."
Tu Sha came over, sat cross-legged on the mat, and said with dissatisfaction: "The people from the Tiger Flag came to us and said they would equip us with breastplates and weapons. How many days have passed and we haven't seen any shit. , my subordinates are worried that they are deceiving us just to trick us here."
"How can it be so easy to give out soldiers' armor to us?" Tu La took a bite of the big cake in his hand, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
Tu Sha frowned and said, "The rationing of our soldiers and armor was something they agreed upon when they recruited us. Could it be that they want to go back on their word!"
One piece of bread was eaten by Tu La within a few mouthfuls. He then picked up another piece of bread on the table and re-rolled it with the mutton on the plate.
"Master, why don't we escape!" Tu Sha said in a low voice.
"Escape? Where to escape?" Tu La glanced at the other party and then said, "Aren't you afraid that if you escape now, the next time we meet, someone will lead the cavalry to surround us?"
"They were the ones who broke their promise first!" Tu Sha said aggrievedly, "We agreed to be included, and we also gave you, the headmaster, the position of captain, but the things we eat are the same as those of other horse bandits in the ranch. Look down, they don’t really regard you as the captain at all.”
Tu La raised his head, glanced at Tu Sha, and said, "We have been here for a while. How many people do you think are willing to follow us?"
"As long as you, the master, raise your arms, I believe all the brothers will go with you, the master." Tu Sha said, "There have been many horse bandits coming to this ranch intermittently these days. With the master, you are in the grassland." With our reputation, I believe they will be willing to follow us."
Tu La shook his head and said, "You are wrong. Even if someone is willing to come with us, there won't be too many of them. Most people will choose to stay."
"This is impossible!" Tu Sha said with a look of disbelief, "Even if there are a few who are willing to stay, they are all people who followed the big master later. Those old brothers in the past will definitely follow the big master."
Tu La picked up the pancake in his hand and asked, "Since we came here, what do you think of the food we have been eating these days?"
"The food is average, except that I eat a little more rice and noodles." Tu Sha curled his lips and said, "The tiger-character flag has many rules, and drinking is not allowed. Life is boring and not as good as before. Have a happy life.”
Tu La said: "You are the most trustworthy person around me, and you are naturally the best to eat and drink. However, the people below cannot eat meat for half a month, and they often go hungry in winter."
Tu Sha pursed his lips and did not answer.
Life was not easy for horse bandits on the grassland. Some small horse bandit teams did not have enough food and warm shelter in winter, and could easily freeze to death or starve to death on the grassland.
Tu La continued: "If you can fill your stomach, how many people do you think would be willing to put their heads in their belts and become horse bandits?"
"Master Tu Da is right. As long as they can have a full stomach, except for those who are bloodthirsty, I believe that few people are willing to live in a horse bandit life where there is no tomorrow today."
As the words fell, the curtain in front of the yurt door was opened, and Huang Hong walked in from the outside.
Following him were several big men wearing breastplates, each with a gun on his waist, and some of them had two gun on their waist.
"It turns out to be Brother Huang." Tu La stood up, raised his fist towards Huang Hong, and then looked at the other strangers and said, "These are..."
"Let me introduce you to Master Tu," Huang Hong said with a smile, pointing to the man at the front, "This is Captain Ma, who is also the captain of our Tiger-Character Banner Cavalry Team. All the Tiger-Character Banner cavalrymen are Return to the command of Captain Ma."
"I've seen Brother Ma." Tu La bowed his hand to Ma Yun Jiuyi.
Ma Yunjiu said expressionlessly: "When we meet for the first time, it's better to call me captain. In the army, we must have the concept of superiors and subordinates. Also, our tiger-character flag has military regulations and rules. Captain Tu should know more about it. Before Those bad habits you had when you were a horse bandit must get rid of them from now on."
Hearing such words that were almost scolding, Tu La's expression changed slightly.
Tu Sha, who was standing behind him, took a step forward, pointed at Ma Yunjiu with his hand, and said angrily: "What do you mean? You are the captain, and our boss is also the captain. Why should I listen to you? How come it's not you?" Listen to our boss."
Tu La stood aside with an unchanging expression, showing no intention of stopping Tu Sha.
After all, he is also the leader of a team of horse bandits. He has hundreds of horse bandits under his command, and no one has ever dared to talk to him like this.
Huang Hong, who was on the other side, put his hands on each other's chests and looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, without any intention of intervening.
Ma Yunjiu turned his head, looked at Tu Sha, and said in an indifferent tone: "I know you, your name is Tu Sha, and you are Tu La's right-hand man. It was you who persuaded Tu La to leave with others just now."
Hearing this, Tu La's expression changed. Unexpectedly, what he just said was heard by the people in the Tiger Flag.
"I said it, so what!" Tu Sha stepped forward and puffed out his chest, saying, "You, the tiger-character flag, broke your trust first, so why can't we leave!"
Ma Yunjiu looked at him and said, "When did the Tiger Character Flag break your trust?"
Tu Sha said: "Before we came here, your people promised to equip us with soldiers and armor, but we have been here for a while and have been locked up in the pasture every day. Not to mention providing us with soldiers and armor, even wine. If I’m not allowed to drink, I’m still living my life like a bird, every day is like being in jail.”
Ma Yunjiu sneered and said: "The soldiers and armor of the Tiger Flag are only suitable for the cavalry of the Tiger Flag. With your current virtue, you are not worthy of being a cavalry of our Tiger Flag."
"Fart, I was in the frontier army, so why can't I be considered a cavalry? From my point of view, you don't want to equip us with all the armor. You are afraid that if we have all the armor, you will not be our opponent." Tu Sha mocked. .
"Have you not read the military regulations?" Ma Yunjiu's voice suddenly became louder as he said, "If you want to become a cavalry member of the Tiger Flag, you must abide by the rules of the Tiger Flag. First of all, you must abide by the matters in the military regulations. If you can't even do this, you are still a horse bandit, not a cavalry member of the Tiger Flag."
"Bullshit tiger cavalry, your proprietor is just a lowly businessman. He really takes himself seriously because he thinks he has some bad money. I'm telling you..."
Before he finished speaking, Tu Sha's voice gradually became quieter.
In front of him, several handguns were pressed against his body, and even his forehead was pressed against his head.
In the past, he definitely didn't care about such a small thing, but after seeing the power of this thing, he knew that although this thing was only a little bigger than a dagger, it could kill someone with a single blow.
