Chapter 111 The fight started
"Go see what's going on over there?"
Shen Zhao immediately sent someone to check. After a while, the person who checked came back and reported:
"They're fighting... They're fighting."
"Who? Tell me in detail."
The young general panted and said, "There are two groups over there, fighting for food."
Many people haven't even had a mouthful of soup, and are now scrambling for food."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately took full precautions and surrounded the kitchen, fearing that the hungry wolves would come and steal their food.
Chen Zhao felt a little sad when he saw this scene. The Northwest Army had suffered so much that they had to protect a bite of food like this.
She won't do that again. She will never let them go hungry with her again.
"Come on, follow me and take a look." She really didn't expect that these people would turn against each other because of a meal.
When Chen Zhao arrived, the situation was very fierce and many people were injured.
Someone saw Shen Zhao coming and immediately stepped forward to complain:
"General... General, you are finally here. Someone has been embezzling food from the camp and withholding the soldiers' rations. Today's dinner is not even half of what we usually get. Many soldiers didn't even get a single bite to eat and are starving.
Let them practice tomorrow."
The person who spoke was also a deputy general in the army. His surname was Yao. He was an exception in the army in Beijing and he did not belong to any force.
Instead, he relied on his own hard work to get to this position.
The reason why Shen Zhao knew him was because he once broke into the general's mansion for the soldiers under his command.
He asked Chu Mu, who had already gone to bed, to get down from the bed.
This deputy general has only 500 soldiers under his command. Like him, these 500 people are also an alternative existence in the army in Beijing.
They are more hardworking than most people and never form cliques. They are an independent team besides the Northwest Army.
Although they are few in number, their status in the Beijing army is not low, and they have achieved their status through fighting with their fists. Most of these 500 people are tall and strong young men, and the strength of the entire team should not be underestimated.
Chen Zhao looked at the other lieutenants with a sullen face, "What's going on? Where's the army's food? I just secured rations for three meals a day for the army, and the court just supplied a month's worth of rations. How come after just two days, the soldiers have nothing to eat?"
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, several people immediately showed panic expressions.
No one stood up to speak, what could they say.
Could it be that he told the general that they had embezzled the army's food?
This is a serious crime.
Chen Zhao looked at Deputy General Han and said in a cold voice, "Deputy General Han, you speak."
Deputy General Han, who was named, cursed in his heart.
What should he say? He said there was enough food, but it was you, General, who insisted on taking away the food for the Northwest Army and your subordinates, which resulted in everyone having no food to eat.
If he said this, he could guarantee that General Chu would kill him.
After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Perhaps, the cook in the kitchen did not take enough food tonight, resulting in the soldiers not having enough to eat. I will send someone to make more immediately."
"Bullshit!" Deputy General Yao immediately jumped out. "The daily meals are prepared according to the military's specifications. It's not like they cooked a whole meal, so how could they have taken less ingredients? And I just sent someone to check the granary, and the grain in the granary is not enough to support the soldiers for the next half month."
Deputy General Yao said this with a look of anger on his face.
He knew everything. The Jingzhong Army seemed to be a large army among the three armies of Southern Chu.
But the army in Beijing is no better than the other two armies.
The other two armies have only one true commander, and no one's power can be inserted into them.
But it was different for the Jingzhong Army. Although General Chu was the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhong Army, he could only control his former subordinates.
Everyone else is working for their own boss and is doing their own thing. He knows all their little thoughts and actions.
In the past, the five hundred of them would endure it as long as they could, but now they can't even eat, so this is not the time to endure it.
If they are not the Northwest Army, they can be manipulated at will.
Others dared to be angry but not to speak out. What was wrong with this Yao guy?
All I do is eat, eat and eat. What’s wrong with being hungry for a few days?
If he hadn't led his five hundred men to make a commotion, could he have attracted the man named Chu?
"General Chu, I want to follow your example and take out all the rations for our five hundred men and start a new one."
As soon as Deputy General Yao said this, the other deputy generals became anxious.
How dare this guy named Yao add fuel to the fire?
If he takes away the rations of the 500 people, then their people will really be left with nothing.
“Okay.” Chen Zhao responded before the other deputy generals could speak to stop him. He looked at the other deputy generals and said sympathetically, “Since you guys can’t distribute the food evenly, why don’t you all start your own business and manage your own meals?
So that we don’t have any food to eat.”
Deputy General Yao looked at Shen Zhao excitedly and said gratefully, "Thank you, General. I will immediately order someone to move the food."
Some are happy and some are sad, but human joys and sorrows are not shared.
Deputy General Yao happily led his five hundred soldiers to move food.
The faces of the other deputy generals were so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out.
Chen Zhao raised a cold smile and waved his hand:
"Everything is settled, and we should go back to have dinner.
Everyone has worked hard today, so enjoy dinner as much as you can and make sure you have enough."
When Shen Zhao said this, the other deputy generals' faces became even darker.
Now all his men have no food to eat, but he still makes sure they are well fed!
Who do you want to piss off to death!
At this time, Zhang Liang and others who had gone to ask for a doctor also came back.
A path was made through the crowd, and those who were unaware of the situation looked over.
Behind Lieutenant General Zhang were several ox carts, on which were piled a lot of things.
Is this the new food that General Chu has purchased for the camp?
Zhang Liang walked up to Shen Zhao and said:
"I have already followed the general's instructions and invited the doctor from Qihuang Street. I have also brought enough medicinal materials to diagnose and treat the wounded soldiers today."
As soon as Zhang Liang said this, cheers immediately broke out from the crowd.
Even the deputy generals who had looked grim just now looked a little more relaxed.
This guy surnamed Chu did something kind and considered the interests of the soldiers in the capital.
The money for the doctor and the medicine must have been paid out of Mr. Chu's own pocket.
After all, their army in Beijing was really poor. They didn't even have the most basic medicinal materials in the camp, let alone enough money to go to Qihuang Street to hire a doctor and buy so many medicinal materials.
Looking at the dozens of doctors and several ox carts of medicinal materials, it must have cost a lot.
Someone immediately stepped forward to compliment him, saying, "General Chu is wise. He has thought of the soldiers in the capital and has invited doctors and bought herbs to treat their injuries. I admire him deeply.
I don't know how the doctors and herbs are distributed, but General Chu, you get half, and we get half?"
As soon as this person said this, everyone looked at Shen Zhao, waiting for Shen Zhao's distribution.
Many people were whispering, "Finally, there are some medicinal herbs in the camp. I just had a military doctor take a look at my knife wound, and he bandaged it up. It was still bleeding, but now it's healed."
Chen Zhao curled his lips and said seriously:
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
