Large carts with flags with the words "Gao Jun" written on them came out of the gate of Jiangning Town and headed straight to the military camp on the city wall. The carts were filled with chickens, ducks, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits. There were also two carts filled with jars of fine wine. Several opened jars of wine exuded a strong aroma of wine. Behind them, there were more than 20 servants carrying loads on their shoulders. The loads were bulging. Two loads were open, filled with marinated ducks, roast chickens and other delicacies. The aroma of meat was tangy. All of this showed that the rich businessman rewarded the army with sincerity, real materials and a lot of money.
Leading the cart was a wealthy businessman who was rewarding the soldiers, and the gatekeeper Zhang Suo was standing by, diligently leading the way for the businessman.
"Sir, I'm not bragging, but I have a special relationship with Jiangning Camp. Captain Niu just said that my brother-in-law is guarding the gate of the camp, but what he said is not accurate. My brother-in-law is not an ordinary gatekeeper. He has a special relationship with Captain Zhang, the gatekeeper of Jiangning Camp. They went to Wanhua Tower in Jiangning Town to drink wine and slept with the same prostitute together. They are like-minded people. Let's put it this way, my brother-in-law is Captain Zhang's number one confidant, and his words are effective in Jiangning Camp. My brother-in-law and I have always been close, and I often come to Jiangning Camp to find him for a drink and fun. Who among the gatekeepers of Jiangning Camp doesn't know me, Zhang Suo? As long as I show up and knock on the door, it will be opened as soon as I call, and the wine and food will not get cold, and the people in Jiangning Camp will not be delayed from eating and drinking."
The gatekeeper soldier Zhang Suo kept boasting to the rich businessman about his special relationship with the Jiangning Camp.
"It turns out that General Zhang has such powerful connections in the Jiangning Camp. We will rely on General Zhang for this reward to the troops. This is a small gift, not a token of respect, but just a present for General Zhang to use when he drinks with his colleagues in the future." The rich businessman was overjoyed when he heard this, and he reached into his sleeve and took out a silver ingot weighing five taels, and stuffed it into the palm of the gatekeeper Zhang Suo.
Zhang Suo's breathing was as heavy as an ox at that time. This was five taels of silver, almost enough for my annual salary. Damn, this businessman was really rich.
Oil is flowing, yes, yes, it is indeed oily.
A cart filled with wine jars was already leaking oil. One of the jars was probably too full, and the mouth was not sealed tightly enough. Due to the bumps on the road, the oil inside slowly flowed out from the filling port.
Tick, tick...
There was a line of oil stains on the ground that meandered along with the convoy's progress...
Oil is different from wine. It is a thick liquid and is easy to distinguish. However, no one noticed it. Of course, even if someone noticed it, they would not think it was a problem. What's the problem with loading one or two jars of oil on the wine truck? It's nothing to reward the soldiers with oil. The military camp is happy to give more oil. The food in the military camp will be more delicious.
Soon, the rewarding troops arrived at the gate of Jiangning camp.
"Who is coming?"
The gatekeeper of Jiangning Camp saw a group of dozens of people driving carts towards the camp gate and couldn't help but ask:
"Qian San, don't you even recognize me?" The gatekeeper Zhang Suo stepped forward and shouted.
"Oh, it's Zhang Da. Who are they? They are pushing carts and carrying loads. What are they doing here?!" The soldier guarding the gate of the military camp recognized Zhang Suo at once and pointed at the rich businessman and others beside Zhang Suo and asked curiously.
"Qian San, stop talking nonsense and open the door quickly. These are the officials who are here to reward the soldiers. They bring wine, meat, vegetables and fruits." The gatekeeper Zhang Suo pointed to the cart and the load on the back and said to Qian San and others.
"Hehe, reward the troops, reward the troops, the more meat and wine the better." Qian San's eyes lit up when he heard this. When he saw the carriage just now, he noticed the meat and wine on the carriage, but he was illiterate and didn't know the word "reward the troops". He thought that some merchants were giving gifts to the generals. He didn't expect that they were here to reward the troops. Doesn't that mean everyone can have a share? The generals eat meat, so we can at least drink some meat soup. Speaking of meat and wine, he could smell the aroma of meat and wine from the convoy. His nose moved slightly, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, praising: "Tsk tsk, the meat is full of aroma, and the wine is mellow. This is the best wine. Just smelling it makes me hungry."
"Qian San, you know that the meat is delicious and the wine is fragrant, so why don't you quickly open the door for the master and let him and his entourage into the camp? It will be bad if the food and wine get cold." Zhang Suo urged again and again, fearing that Qian San would not open the door in time and slap him in the face.
"That's right, open the door quickly and invite your entourage into the camp to reward the troops." Qian San nodded repeatedly and ran to ask someone to open the door.
Soon, the camp gate opened.
When Zhang Suo saw the camp gate open, he boasted to the rich businessman with a proud look on his face, "Hey, look, I'm not lying, am I? My face is the ticket to open the gate. They will open the gate as soon as they see me."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is indeed impressive." The rich businessman smiled and gave a thumbs up in praise.
Zhang Suo was so happy to hear that that he couldn't stop smiling. His chest was puffed out. He felt very proud and enthusiastically led the rich businessman into the camp.
Upon hearing that the wealthy businessman was rewarding the troops, the soldiers guarding the gate opened the camp gate and gathered around to help push the cart.
"Thank you, thank you." The rich businessman smiled and clasped his fists to thank the soldiers.
After the rewarding troops entered the military camp, the rich businessman smiled and bowed to the soldiers guarding the gate and thanked them, "Thank you all for helping to push the cart. I have a small gift. It is not a respect, but I hope you will not refuse it."
After saying this, the rich businessman turned to the servants and said, "Erzhuzi, why don't you guys quickly give your thanks to the military commander who helped you?"
"Here we are." Erzhuzi answered, holding a purse, and reached out to take out a handful of silver coins and called all the soldiers guarding the gate to come and claim the reward money. "My fellow soldiers, these are our master's thanks, and everyone has them."
Seeing a handful of silver coins, each weighing at least one or two taels, the gatekeepers' eyes lit up. They were reluctant to refuse and kept saying "thank you very much, sir". Then they gathered around Erzhuzi and others to receive the silver.
Although Zhang Suo got five taels of silver, he was jealous when he saw the soldiers guarding the gate of the military camp receiving the silver.
"Haha, General Zhang, I was able to enter the camp and reward the soldiers smoothly this time, all thanks to General Zhang. This is my thanks to you." The rich businessman greeted Zhang Suo with a smile, while reaching into the oil, making the same movement as when he took out the silver from his sleeve just now.
"Hey, how can this be so embarrassing."
Zhang Suo said this, but Shen Yi was actually very honest and came over happily, rubbing her hands.
"This is a thank you gift to Mr. Zhang Jun."
When Zhang Suo came over, the rich businessman affectionately put his arm around the back of Zhang Suo's neck and took something out from his sleeve with the other hand.
In the sunlight, a dagger flashed a dazzling white light and emerged from the rich businessman's sleeve.
dagger?!
A sword for a hero?!
Zhang Suo was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and the next second he saw the dagger flash a white light and pierce into his heart.
Blood gushed out!
pain!
cold!
dark!
Zhang Suo suddenly fell to the ground. The moment he fell, he saw that the gatekeepers of the Jiangning Camp who had lowered their heads to receive the reward were surrounded by the rich businessman's servants without a trace. Then they suddenly attacked, and one by one they followed his example. In an instant, the servants pulled out knives and stabbed them. Without exception, they fell to the ground.
Why
Aren't you here to reward the troops
At the last moment of Zhang Suo's life, he heard a series of shouting of Japanese pirates...
"Set fire, burn the camp, kill them all, kill them all..."
Forehead!
It turned out to be Japanese pirates!
In Zhang Suo's eyes, the rich merchants and servants took off their hats, revealing a strange middle-bald Japanese-style bun, ripped open their clothes, revealing the Japanese armor inside, took out a bunch of hidden Japanese swords and weapons from the carriage, pushed the carriage into the military camp, and threw jars of kerosene, which were called fine wine, into the tents, shouting and killing, and setting fires. The Jiangning camp was caught off guard. I don't know how many Japanese pirates entered the camp. Seeing fires everywhere and Japanese pirates shouting and killing everywhere, they all thought that the Japanese pirates had attacked the camp in a large scale. Soldiers cried for their parents and ran for their lives. In an instant, the military camp was in chaos. Many soldiers trampled and killed each other in extreme panic... Occasionally, a few middle-level generals wanted to gather soldiers, and occasionally some brave soldiers resisted, but they were also targeted and hacked to death by the Japanese pirates. As a result, the entire military camp was unable to muster any decent resistance. The Japanese pirates acted like they were in an empty place, slaughtering soldiers one-sidedly and setting fire to the camp.
In an instant, the Jiangning camp was ablaze, blood flowed like a river, and there were casualties everywhere. The cries and screams could be heard for miles...
