037 Lack of troops and food(2/2)

As he said that, he glared at the old man kneeling beside him and shouted: "The surname is Pang, do you know that the general has arrived, why didn't he call me?"

"Tunzhu forgives his sins."

The old man bowed his head and said, "I just knew that General Liu was here. Besides, you drank with Lord Jin who transported the grain last night until dawn. I dare not disturb you."

"fart!"

Wang Gui was furious: "I think you just want me to make a fool of myself, an old guy, you're giving you a face, right?"

"I dare not, I dare not."

The old man trembled and just kept kowtowing.

"Enough!"

Guo Fan's eyes sank and said, "You are here just in time. I'm about to ask you why there are tens of thousands of people in Yangwangtun and three thousand young and strong, but there are only a few people here?"

"this……"

Wang Gui looked stunned, paused before smiling flatteringly, and said, "General, you know that life is not easy over the years, and the military pay has never been paid in full, so... we are also helpless."

Guo Fan nodded silently and said, "So, do you know the false reporting of the troops stationed?"

"General."

Wang Gui crawled forward and said, "You should have been accustomed to this kind of thing."

"Even if the 150,000 troops under Admiral Cao can actually have 80,000, it is already the top!"

"fart!"

Gongsun Yun suddenly spoke in a stern voice: "Admiral Cao has no food in his hands, so he has to falsely report his soldiers. You obviously have good military farms and additional military pay, but you still falsely report so much?"

“Hmph…”

Wang Gui snorted and said, "This general, what you said should be more than ten years ago."

"Now, the farmlands in Yangwangtun cannot even support people."

"oh?"

Guo Fan raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Gui indifferently: "Why?"

"What else can it be done?"

Wang Gui spread his hands and said, "The people in the military camp fled for many years, and no one cultivated the farmlands, so he could only sell them for some money to fill his stomach."

“Selling military farm.”

Guo Fan nodded.

Although the imperial court strictly ordered the transaction of military farms, it was actually impossible to stop it.

The fact that the garrison of the mutiny has become private soldiers, and the garrison of the fields has never been cut off since the founding of the country!

But he didn't expect that it would be so serious.

A military camp with more than 10,000 people now have less than a thousand people left, and they can’t even fill their stomachs!

The swords and weapons were broken as soon as they touched, and the armor was torn, and there were almost no soldiers available in the entire army.

How can I fight this battle?

What to fight?

"call……"

Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said, "Before coming, where was the silver allocated here by the imperial court?"

Since there are no soldiers, I can only pay for the recruitment of soldiers myself.

Fortunately, there is a lot of money, so it should not be difficult to solve.

Wang Gui looked up and said, "What money are you talking about?"

"What other money can it be?"

Gongsun Yun's face changed and he said hurriedly: "We will kill the people of Beirong in the north to reward silver and military pay!"

"We seized two military flags, killed more than 30 generals, killed more than a thousand rebels, and the military pay the court promised to allocate in advance, a total of 100,000 taels of silver."

"So you guys are so brave?"

Wang Gui bowed, but his expression was indifferent. He probably regarded them as people who falsely claimed their military achievements.

In fact, on the battlefield in Yunzhou, there are reports of thousands of enemies killing tens of thousands every day, but the bandits have never seen each other, and it has become a common practice to report false military merits.

"The silver has arrived yesterday, but the amount is a bit inconsistent with what the general said."

“How many are there?”

Guo Fan's eyebrows were beating, and he subconsciously felt something was wrong.

"One thousand taels."

"How many?"

"Bang..."

The atmosphere suddenly condensed in the entire hall.

Guo Fan had a cold face, Gongsun Yun's face was gloomy, Gan Xingba, Zhang Lan and others were already holding their hands tightly, and their faces were full of evil spirits.

"You say it again?"

"How many?"

Wang Gui's body shook, and his body was covered with cold sweat in an instant.

He shivered and said with a forced smile: "Generals, the money is transferred from the court, and you need to pass through the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office, and the local government office, and finally you will get here."

"These layers are transferred, and each layer needs to be searched. It is already good to have a thousand taels."

"I'll go fuck you!"

Gan Xingba could no longer control the anger in his heart, and directly kicked him, kicking him to vomit blood.

"General!"

Several more soldiers came outside the door at the right time and threw two drunken people to His Highness at the same time.

"These two people are grain transport officials, and they embezzle our food and grass!"

"Embede the food and grass?"

Guo Fan's mouth twitched, and he was not surprised at all: "How much did he give?"

"I have already checked it. Except for the top layer, the bottom is full of mud and sand and grass."

The soldier bowed his fists and looked murderous: "The total number is less than one-tenth of the promised one, and it is all inferior food and grass!"

“…”

The field was quiet again.

"good!"

“It’s very good!”

Guo Fan slowly stood up from the seat and smiled grimly: "Since they don't give it to you, let's get it by ourselves."

"General!"

When Gongsun Yun's expression changed, he wanted to come forward to persuade him.

"Don't!"

Lu Gui next to him hurriedly reached out to pull him, and shook his head gently.

"Come!"

Guo Fan glanced at His Highness coldly: "Pull out the three of them and behead them!"

"yes!"

The left and right sounded loudly.

"General!"

Wang Gui, the two grain transport officials, changed their expressions and said hurriedly: "I am the cousin of the governor!"

"I am friends with the Promoter..."

"General, please spare me..."
