Chapter 269: Cutting off the Fire
"Er Gouzi, I joined the army to defend my country and to earn enough food to feed my family.
If you can't even afford to eat and need your family's support, or even make your family lose face, then you don't deserve to be a soldier."
The man shouted at Shen Zhao, “General Chu, I was originally a soldier in the Jingzhong Camp and was assigned to work under other deputy generals, but this still does not change the fact that you are the commander-in-chief of my subordinates.
I am willing to abandon my evil ways and join the general, and I hope that the general will treat me the same as other soldiers."
"Well, since you are willing to join my army, I will treat you equally. What other soldiers have, you will definitely not lose."
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, some people in the crowd immediately started to murmur.
"We joined the army to make a living, but now we can't even eat or wear warm clothes. What's the point of joining the army?"
"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. I will follow anyone who can give me food to eat and clothes to wear.
After all, they are all generals of the Jingzhong Camp. I have never betrayed the Jingzhong Camp and I am not a traitor, so why not? "
Some people are still hesitant, but as more and more people express their desire to surrender.
Those who were hesitant also made up their minds secretly.
Wait a little longer, if those who surrender are the majority, they will also surrender.
When the deputy generals who heard the noise arrived at the training ground, they saw the soldiers shouting that they wanted to surrender to General Chu.
This is outrageous.
The man surnamed Chu wants to sideline all of them.
However, in the past few days, the roles between them and the man surnamed Chu have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, it was these deputy generals who sidelined the commander of the Beijing Camp, whose surname was Chu.
Now it's his turn to cut off the source of the problem and attack directly the lower-level soldiers.
Despicable, so despicable!
"Your subordinates and others greet General Chu!"
There are thirteen deputy generals in the Beijing Camp.
Except for Deputy General Yao, Lu Xing, and Han Wenzai who surrendered to Shen Zhao.
There is also the killed Lieutenant General Liang and Cao Dejiang who is still in a coma.
The other eight are all gathered today.
Two of them were the ones who cried and shouted, just like Han Zhong, when she was unconscious, wanting to find the murderer and avenge her.
Now everyone was looking at her with great vigilance.
It was as if she was a monster.
One of the older lieutenants stepped forward.
"I heard that the Minister of Revenue personally delivered winter supplies to the camp in the capital. Why didn't General Chu inform me and others, but instead summoned my own soldiers?
General Chu, you have overstepped your bounds, both in terms of reason and protocol."
Chen Zhao rebuked coldly, "As the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhong Camp, don't I have the right to assemble all the soldiers?"
The old deputy general stiffened his neck and said:
"That's not what I meant. I was just discussing the matter. According to the rules, the general shouldn't give orders to the soldiers without going through us.
General, what kind of situation do you put us in with your actions?
Especially on such an important day when the court is delivering winter supplies to the camp."
Immediately, a deputy general echoed:
“As deputy generals, the general’s subordinates naturally have the right to command their soldiers.
Now the general is giving orders to our men directly without us knowing what the point is of our deputy general's existence!"
Another deputy general echoed, "Yes, General, you've passed us by, showing that you don't take us seriously. We have always respected you, but you've gone too far this time."
Now the eight deputy generals are united in their hatred of the enemy and will not let Chu Mu succeed this time.
Otherwise, the master will not forgive them, and then they will lose the meaning of their existence in the Beijing camp.
Shen Zhao looked down at the eight deputy generals, "So you knew that I am the commander-in-chief of the army.
You still know the military rules!
I also know that you are just a lieutenant general in the army."
Shen Zhao glared evilly at the deputy generals.
"Your existence is indeed meaningless. The Jingzhong Camp does not need deputy generals like you!"
The eight deputy generals all raised their heads and glared at Shen Zhao.
"May I ask what General Chu means? Could it be that General Chu wants to dismiss us?
General Chu, put aside your thoughts. The Jingzhong Camp is not a place where you can cover the sky with one hand!"
Shen Zhao’s tone darkened, “The Jingzhong Camp is not a place for you to do whatever you want.
As deputy generals of the Jingzhong Camp, you have fulfilled your responsibilities as deputy generals!
Open your eyes and look at the soldiers on the training ground. They are all loyal to you.
How do you treat them? "
"Have they ever been able to have enough food to eat, clothes to wear, and receive the military pay they deserve?"
The old deputy general's expression instantly turned a bit gloomy.
"Isn't it your responsibility, General, to ensure that the soldiers are well fed and clothed?"
"Besides, didn't the Minister of Revenue deliver winter supplies today? General, just distribute the supplies to your subordinates, and we will distribute them to your officers and soldiers.
They can have enough food and warm clothes.”
"I can hear the calculations going on even at the border."
An inopportune voice sounded.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
Wu Da stepped down from the carriage and said, "General Chu, you really need to take better care of the camp in the capital. It's become a complete mess.
If it were in our army, a lieutenant who dared to speak so arrogantly to the commander would have been beaten to death long ago. How could we allow him to glare at us? "
The old deputy general stared at Wu Da with his eyes wide open.
"Where did you come from, you little brat, to dare to point fingers at me? Do you know who I am?"
Wu Da rolled his eyes at the man and said, "You're just a paper tiger. I don't care who you are!"
A majestic yet weak voice came from the carriage.
"Don't be rude at Wuda."
The old deputy general's eyes flashed with disdain, "You are just a servant. If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will immediately destroy you."
Shen Zhao looked towards the carriage and saw that Wu Yunfeng had woken up.
His injuries were so serious, his recovery ability is extraordinary.
Seeing Wu Da was silent, the old deputy general said sarcastically:
"My Jingzhong Camp is not a place where anybody can come. Go back to where you came from."
"You..." Wu Da clenched his fists. If the young general had not been here, he would have punched the old immortal to death.
"Someone, come here, kick out these master and servant who came from nowhere!"
The old deputy general's behavior clearly shows that he regards himself as the one in charge of the Beijing Camp.
"Young General, this old man is too much! Look at how he acts so arrogantly that he doesn't even take General Chu seriously.
We, the Wu family, are known for our avenging of grievances and our repaying of favors. Can you bear to see General Chu being aggressively cornered by these vile bastards?"
"You just heard how shameless these people were in their words.
"General Chu is being made to endure all the suffering, while they are being made to reap all the benefits. Can you bear to watch this?"
The words "major general" and "Wu family" made the old deputy general's eyes flash.
The old deputy general asked tentatively, "Excuse me, is that Young General Wu Yunfeng in the carriage?"
