Chapter 495: The Devil
Lin Mo took out a yellowed, slightly old account book from inside.
But when she opened the first page, she frowned.
In March of the 87th year of Daye, I was awarded the title of sergeant for my meritorious service, but the price was the death of seven people. My father was right. If I want to achieve merit and build a career, I have to step on them to climb up.
In the 87th year of Daye, in May, a small victory was achieved at the cost of 18 people, and he was promoted to centurion.
…
In August of the 91st year of the Daye era, at the Battle of Yandang Mountain, I finally defeated my mortal enemy, Qi Zhengfei, and achieved a leapfrog victory. Three thousand men died, and I was promoted to the rank of captain. Seeing Qi Zhengfei return with his limbs broken, I felt incredibly happy. This strategy worked well. It seems that if you want to get ahead, you have to use tricks.
…
In the 95th year of Daye, at the Battle of Funiu Mountain, Beiling was severely defeated and General Lu was killed. I led my troops to ambush the left and right and won a small victory over Beiling. I took General Lu's position as the General of the Zhenbei Army for a price of 50,000 taels of silver.
…
In the ninety-sixth year of Daye, in Dateng Village, we harvested three thousand kilograms of grain. Someone discovered our identities and killed us.
…
The more Lin Mo looked, the more tense her face became.
Damn it.
Song Yi is not a human being, he is a devil.
Everything he has was obtained by stepping on other people's corpses and drinking other people's blood.
Unforgivable.
Lin Mo threw the account book into the space, then took out a few letters from it. After making sure that there was nothing inside, he restored the position.
After doing all this, voices were heard outside the tent.
Lin Mo didn't dare to delay and immediately slipped into the space.
And just as she entered the space, Song Yizheng walked in with his men.
He suddenly stopped, frowned, and looked around the tent quickly.
After finding nothing unusual, he quickly walked to the desk.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the strand of hair still stuck in the book.
Song Tianlei, who was following behind, stepped forward and said, "General, is there something wrong?"
Song Yi shook his head, "No."
When he entered the tent, he seemed to notice someone coming in.
But after checking, I found nothing abnormal. I must have been overthinking it.
Song Yi sat down. When he looked up, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes:
"Song Zhiyuan has already led his men out, right?"
Song Tianlei nodded, "General, yes.
If all goes well, we will arrive near Beijia Village around midnight.
According to the previous plan, after he and his men arrived nearby, they would first find a place to hide, then survey the surrounding terrain and wait for an opportunity to strike."
Speaking of this, Song Tianlei's eyes were filled with worry:
"But General Song Zhiyuan and his men are facing the Xu family. Many of them have served in the military. If we go there with just 500 men, will we be able to capture the Xu family?"
He felt that the Xu family was not an easy bone to chew.
"These five hundred people are naturally not enough to take down the Xu family." Song Yi looked lazy.
Song Tianlei was surprised and suddenly felt uneasy.
"Don't worry, we have bribed our insiders, and they will put drugs in the water they drink.
As long as all the Xu family members are poisoned by the drug, they will be at their mercy."
Song Tianlei lowered his head and said, "In that case, General, why don't you send people to rob the grain? That way, we can keep the Xu family and continue to grow grain next year."
The people in the nearby area either died or left, and there were not many people left.
Only when there are people can there be food.
"Tianlei, you think too simply." Song Yi shook his head:
"The grain grown by the Xu family isn't just ordinary grain; it's corn. If we just take it back and eat it, wouldn't that be like telling others that we stole the grain?"
Song Tianlei was a little dizzy and shook his head:
"But if Song Zhiyuan and the others kill the Xu family and come back, won't they be exposed?"
"So, I need you to lead the troops to suppress the bandits." Song Yi sneered:
"If we had snatched this food from the bandits, it would have a different meaning, wouldn't it?"
Song Tianlei's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief, and his body even trembled slightly.
Does the general mean to use Song Zhiyuan and the other five hundred people as scapegoats so that he can kill them as bandits?
"Why, are you soft-hearted?" Song Yi sneered:
"Don't forget, there are 50,000 soldiers here. Do you want everyone to eat dirt in winter?
Do you think it's not worth using 500 people in exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of people?
It’s the imperial court that has been withholding our military pay and rations. If we don’t find a solution, everyone will starve to death.”
Song Tianlei quickly lowered his head, hiding all his emotions, "Worth it!"
Song Yi sighed, "Don't worry, I will spare Song Zhiyuan's life, but he can't appear in the army anymore.
I received news that the Xu family has over 100,000 kilograms of grain.
One hundred thousand kilograms of food, just think how long we can eat it, how many villages can we avoid plundering, and how many people can be saved. Tianlei, sometimes we can't be soft-hearted."
Song Tianlei gritted his teeth and said, "General, don't worry, I will complete the mission and will not let you down."
"Okay!" Song Yi was satisfied, "You go down and prepare first, and wait for my notification. When I give you the news, you can take another 2,000 people to suppress the bandits.
Remember this and keep it secret."
After Song Tianlei left, Song Yi leaned comfortably on the stool.
Lin Mo in the space had his eyes wide open in shock.
demon!
This Zhou Yi is an absolute devil.
In his eyes, the lives of hundreds of people were like ants, at his mercy.
ridiculous!
It was such a person who sat in the position of general, while the people under him were just as accomplices to the evil as he was.
None of the people here are clean; they have all been brainwashed by him.
If nothing unexpected happened, he might have colluded with people from Beiling.
The so-called failure of the imperial court to send military pay and rations was probably embezzled by the Song family behind Song Yi.
Song Yi is so brave.
It is really unfair that such a scourge can survive for so long.
And today she will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven.
Seeing him stand up and walk outside, Lin Mo followed him with a gloomy face.
Looking at Song Yi standing on the training ground and stretching, Lin Mo walked up to him without thinking and kicked him.
thump!
Song Yi fell headfirst to the ground in such a mess that he landed flat on his face.
The loud noise he made when he fell startled the people around him.
Everyone looked at Song Yi who fell to the ground in astonishment.
General, you were fine, why did you fall down?
Song Yi reacted quickly. After falling, he ignored the pain and quickly got up from the ground. He turned around and looked behind him while shouting:
"Who was it? Who pushed me from behind just now?"
But the empty space behind him made him frown.
He couldn't have been wrong. Someone had indeed pushed him, which was why he fell.
But now there is no one behind him.
He attributed it to the other party dodging quickly enough.
Song Yi had a gloomy face and walked towards the nearest person:
"Did you see who pushed me just now?"
Old Tang, who was closest to him, shook his head in confusion, "General, there was no one behind you just now, I didn't see anyone pushing you.
What we saw was that you suddenly fell down, am I right?"
After saying that, he pushed his companion next to him.
"Yes, General, we really didn't see anyone push you. You were just standing there and suddenly fell down."
The others nodded in agreement.
Song Yi frowned, his eyes narrowed dangerously, "Are you sure?"
"I swear, everything we said is true." Old Tang immediately stood up straight nervously and raised three fingers to swear.
He really didn't see anyone pushing him, he just saw him fall down for no apparent reason.
Song Yi said with a straight face, "I swear I'll stop posting."
After saying that, he turned and left.
A person dares to deceive himself, but there will not be so many people who join him in deceiving himself.
Was it really my illusion just now?
Song Yi subconsciously put his hand on his waist, and he inexplicably felt a lingering irritation in his heart.
Forget it, I guess it was just my own illusion.
Seeing the team practicing in front, Song Yi turned around and said, "Old Tang, come here and fight with me."
Old Tang, who was just feeling lucky to have escaped a disaster, suddenly lost his expression when he saw his name being called.
Old Tang was embarrassed. "General, I'm no match for you. Let's just forget it."
I abused him and now I am the one who suffers.
He abused himself and was the one who suffered. No matter how you look at it, it wasn't worth it.
But when he saw Song Yi's face gloomy, he immediately put on a bright smile and said, "General, I'll be there right away."
Then he ran over happily, and when Song Yi threw the spear at him, he quickly reached out to catch it.
Before he could prepare himself, Song Yi thrust the spear at him.
Old Tang was startled and quickly dodged, while firing a shot to block.
Bang!
The gun tips collided with each other, making a sharp sound.
Old Tang retracted his sword and retreated quickly.
The other party was a general, with a higher position and more power than him. How could he dare to fight with all his strength? If he offended him, he would be in a thankless position.
Therefore, fighting is just a pretense. When the time is right, one will deliberately let the opponent knock him down to maintain the opponent's self-esteem.
Everything went according to Old Tang's calculations.
Bang!
The spear in Old Tang's hand flew out, and he was about to sing praises as usual, praising Song Yi's extraordinary martial arts.
If you want to get ahead in the world, you must know how to flatter people.
But before he could finish his words, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Did he...did he see a ghost?
What is going on?
