This method works!
But Lin Che knew very well that he was kind-hearted, loyal and honest, and regarded his subordinates as brothers. A real man should be true to himself, and he would never do such a thing.
What's more, Dachun's family doesn't have that much money.
"The damned Tiance Army, how could they be so poor? Did they not receive their salaries? They are much worse off than the Zhenyuan Army."
The last time we massacred 30,000 Zhenyuan soldiers, each soldier had nearly 1,000 taels of military pay on him. That's what we call a rich man.
"Report—General. A 5,000-man enemy force has been spotted 400 miles northeast. Judging by their flags, they appear to be the Black Armored Army. They must have also received the news of the fall of Leishi City and have already stationed there."
"Yeah! Just keep observing."
Lin Che nodded to show that she understood. The arrival of reinforcements was also expected.
And there will definitely be more support coming up, after all, he was attacking Lei Shi City, which is within the territory of Dagan.
If we don't withdraw our troops quickly, we will definitely be surrounded by various armies.
Unfortunately, the Leishi City cannot be defended. The city walls have collapsed and it is impossible to defend it.
"It seems that Sheng Huainan is the only one who can pay. This little fat guy has been selling books for so long, he should have made some money."
It should be possible to get some money from Sheng Huainan.
But Sheng Huainan is in Tiandu City, which is too far away from here. I can't wait for him to send the banknote.
Why not just go all out and move the army to another nearby city and attack it directly?
Even Leishi City has no money, and other cities are probably even poorer.
Could there be some basement with hidden treasure?
Lin Che pondered this as he wandered around the city, secretly using his powerful mental power to search for a basement. This was one of his abilities; he could "see" clearly even with his eyes closed.
He also personally gave it a very appropriate name - spiritual consciousness.
His spiritual sense could clearly detect the underground area, more than ten meters deep. However, it was just dark soil and stone, with no hidden treasure at all.
As they were walking, they suddenly heard Gong Qiu loudly scolding the soldiers who had made mistakes in front of them.
There were at least two hundred soldiers in this group. Each of them stood on one leg, forming a large circle and jumping around. There were also junior officers supervising them, kicking them from time to time.
"Hurry up! Don't you have a lot of energy? Hurry up like an old woman."
"If I see anyone fall to the ground with both feet, everyone will be slapped with a hundred military sticks. You have no respect for military law, you are courting death."
"Leaving the team without permission, do you know what the consequences are? I can chop you all into pieces with one knife. Bastards, you are getting more and more daring."
Gong Qiu cursed and swore, his aura bursting out, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
The two hundred soldiers did not dare to refute a single word and could only continue to dance. Some of them even rubbed their buttocks from time to time, obviously having been beaten with military sticks.
Lin Che didn't understand what was going on, and spoke from a distance:
"Gong Qiu——"
"General!" Gong Qiu turned around and saw that it was Lin Che. He quickly trotted over to salute.
Lin Che raised her chin and gestured, "What happened to them?"
"Reporting to the general, Captains Kuntai and Brahma took the lead in violating military discipline. Last night, they left the team without permission and ran to a town a hundred miles away to resell supplies. The inspection team has already punished them, and now I will give them some more warnings." Gong Qiu did not hide anything and told everything.
"Reselling supplies?" Lin Che was stunned, as if he had thought of something.
Gong Qiu knew full well that this was a serious crime, and he immediately pleaded for mercy: "General, this is all my fault. I failed in my duty. I am willing to bear any punishment."
"Kuntai is taking the lead, right?"
"Uh, yes. Kuntai and Brahma, the two captains."
"Okay, go call them over." A bold idea suddenly popped up in Lin Che's mind.
After a while, Kuntai and Brahma were both called over.
Kuntai still looks like a seasoned veteran, and his belly has grown bigger. It seems that he has been eating well recently.
As for this Brahma, he is young and is a soldier in the village.
He looks like a serious person, so why is he hanging out with Kuntai?
"Greetings, General!" The two men saluted with serious faces.
"What were you two thinking? How did you come up with the idea of reselling supplies? Did you succeed? How big is that town?" Lin Che finished speaking and emphasized:
"Speak slowly and tell the truth."
Kuntai scratched his belly and began to secretly shirk responsibility: "General, this was all Brahma's idea. It has nothing to do with me. When we searched the house, we saw women's clothes and rooms in many rooms. Brahma is experienced and immediately determined that there must be military concubines living here all year round."
"Later, he inspected the carriages, and they were filled with the scent of women. The women must have come in the carriages. There are military concubines in the army, but we didn't see them during the siege, which proves they must be nearby. There must be a town nearby."
"We have so many things on us, they're just a burden. So we thought we could just sell the ones we don't need. We can even get some money. General, this was Brahma's idea. It has nothing to do with me."
Brahma immediately retorted, "I just said it casually. It was you who led the troops to resell in the middle of the night..."
"Brahma, what do you mean? Would I have gone if it wasn't your idea? And you went along with me."
Brahma gnashed his teeth and said, "Kuntai, you are so shameless - General. I just casually mentioned that there is a town nearby where we can buy and sell things. He went there immediately."
