If you want to raise 3000 soldiers, no matter how you say, it should not be less than a gathering place of 10000 people.

The total population of yangwangtun is afraid to be less than 1000!

However, from the perspective of architectural heritage, there should have been many people here.

Although the martial arts training ground is deserted, it covers a vast area and is enough to accommodate thousands of people to practice military formation here.

However, at this time, it has become a place for drying rice and bad rice, and there is no gas of killing and cutting.

After entering the village, the party walked slowly along the martial arts field.

Many people in the military garrison also cast curious eyes at them, and several people hurried away.

The armory is next to the martial arts field.

The gate is locked.

Guo fan, with a gloomy face, motioned, and someone came forward to weigh the door lock.

"I'll come!"

Mo Linglong took a step forward, and the cold light flashed around her waist. With a "clatter", the door lock had fallen to the ground.

The long sword in her hand is also a sharp blade that cuts iron like mud.

"Creak..."

When I opened the outer door, a smell of mildew that had not entered people for a long time came to my face, which made people subconsciously hide their faces.

"How long has this been unused?"

Gongsun Yun frowned, waved and patted the dust, and said, "in the military camp, according to the rules, we should practice every five days and every ten days. It seems that the troops in yangwang village have been abandoned."

"Still use you to say!"

Gan xingba walked in side by side with him, glanced at the scattered weapons in the house, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"The weapons are hairy. Can they still be used?"

Then he reached out and picked up a long gun. With a slight shake, the barrel of the gun broke directly from it.

The tip of the gun fell to the ground and even hit a little arc!

"Hua la..."

First, there is no need to stack ordnance. If you touch it, it is filled with dust and there is no sound of collision.

"Cough..."

At this moment, the faces of the people became more and more ugly.

"General, there is still armour here!"

Mo Linglong, with sharp eyes and excited face, took out a step armour and handed it over.

"Yes."

Guo fan took it and turned it in his palm. Then his two hair made a slight force and pulled it gently.

"Yila..."

The cloth armor inlaid with copper and iron to block bows and arrows was gently torn in half by him like a piece of paper.

Inside, it was filled with bad cotton and broken paper!

"Peng!"

The armor was broken and fell to the ground, stirring up some dust. Guo fan suddenly turned around and walked out without saying a word.

"General!"

"General!"

The crowd followed, anxious.

"Is it General Liu?"

As soon as I went out, I saw an old man with white hair and a hunchback and several young people coming in a hurry.

"It's General Liu."

Gongsun Yun stepped forward and asked, "are you the chief here?"

"No, No."

The old man bowed and waved his hands again and again: "I'm an old man of the Tun nationality. The Tun chief hasn't come yet."

"Old clan?"

Guo fan glanced at the satchel around his waist and asked, "do you have a list of yangwangtun army?"

"Yes, yes."

The old man nodded, took the roster tremblingly, and led the way forward: "general, please enter the hall."

The hall of deliberation has also been deserted.

Fortunately, there are often people gathered here, which can be seen.

Guo fan sat down in the middle seat, took the register handed by the old man, and asked, "how many people are there in the military camp?"

"Go back, general."

The old man bowed: "yangwangtun has 807 people, 296 young men, and the rest are old, children, women and children."

"807 people!"

Guo fan turned the register, and his face was uncertain.

"But I got the register from the government office. There are more than 10000 people here, strong enough to be 3000!"

"I don't know what you should explain?"

"This..."

The old man opened his mouth and said, "I only count the number of people in the army, and I don't know anything else."

Guo fan sneered: "do you mean that someone in the government office falsely reported the number of people to eat empty pay?"

"And it has nothing to do with you?"

"Puff..."

The old man's knees softened and knelt down immediately: "I dare not think so, but I really don't know about it!"

"Peng!"

Guo fanmeng patted the case and said in a deep voice, "the number of troops needs to be signed. You say you don't know?"

"General!"

The old man knelt down and shouted, "I really don't know!"

Several young people behind him trembled and buried their heads in their chest.

"General!"

At this time, Lu GUI dragged a man to the main hall, threw him to the ground and said, "he is the chief of the village here."

This village has a long, round face, full of fat and a royal robe. It looks like a foreigner.

The whole body is drunk, and the drunk eyes are hazy, as if they are not awake.

"Who are you?"

It seems that he was just pulled out of bed. He shouted vaguely: "do you know who I am? Governor Dingkang is my cousin. Do you want to rebel!"

"What's going on?"

Guo fan frowned and looked at Lu GUI.

"I don't know."

Lu GUI shook his head and said, "but this man was sent by Dingkang City, not the original man in Tunli."

"Well..."

Guo fan held his chin and said, "I seem to remember that the head of the military village must be a talent in the village."

"Indeed."

Gongsun Yun on one side replied with an arched hand: "the head of a village can raise an arms war when it is stable, and can lead the army to fight in a war. Only people from the military can take the post."

The village chief, not to mention his origin, but his physique, is not suitable to be a military village chief.

Guo fan swept his eyes in the field. Since the arrival of the village chief, the expression of the old man and several young people was a little ugly.

There was fear and disgust in his expression.

"You, are you General Liu?"

Until this time, the fat Tun chief came back. He smiled at Guo fan and said, "villain Wang GUI is now the head of yangwang Tun, and Deacon Zhou of the government is a villain's cousin."

"Why don't you tell the general in advance? I'm ready to welcome you."

Then he stared at the old man kneeling beside him and shouted, "Pang, you know the general is here. Why didn't you call me?"

"The village chief apologized."

The old man bowed his head and said, "I just knew that General Liu was coming. Besides, you drank with Lord Jin last night until dawn. I dare not disturb you."

"Fart!"

Wang GUI was furious: "I think you just want to make a fool of me, old man. Did you face me?"

"No, No."

The old man trembled and just kowtowed.

"Enough!"

Guo fan's eyes sank and said, "you came just in time. I was about to ask you why there are tens of thousands and 3000 young people in yangwangtun on the government register, but there are only so few people here?"

"This..."

Wang GUI was stunned. After a pause, he flattered and smiled and said, "general, you also know that it's hard these years. The military pay has never been paid in full, so... We have no choice."

Guo fan nodded silently and said, "so, do you know the false report of troop garrison?"

"General."

Wang GUI crawled forward and said, "this kind of thing happens everywhere. You should have seen it for a long time."

"Even if the 150000 troops under Cao Tidu can actually have 80000, they are already at the top!"

"Fart!"

Gongsun Yun suddenly said in a solemn voice, "governor Cao has no food in his hand, so he has to falsely report the soldiers. You obviously have excellent land reclamation and extra pay here, but you still falsely report so much?"

"Hum..."

Wang GUI snorted and said, "general, what you said should have been more than ten years ago."

"Now, the cultivation of farmland in yangwangtun can't even support people."

"Oh?"

Guo fan raised his head slightly and looked coldly at Wang GUI: "why?"

"Why else?"

Wang GUI spread his hands and said, "the people in the army have fled year after year. There is no one to cultivate the land. They can only sell it for some money to fill their stomach."

"Selling tuntian."

Guo fan nodded.

Although the imperial court strictly ordered the purchase and sale of farmland, it could not be stopped at all.

Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, there has never been an end to the matter of military garrison and private field!

But he did not expect that it would be so serious.

There are less than 1000 people left in a military camp with more than 10000 people, and they can't even fill their stomachs!

The swordsmen broke at the touch of one touch, and the armor was torn at the tear. There were almost no soldiers available in the whole military camp.

How can we fight this war?

Take what?

"Hoo..."

Guo fan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his agitation and said, "where was the silver allocated here by the imperial court before coming?"

Since there are no soldiers, they can only pay for their own conscription.

Fortunately, there is a lot of silver. It should not be difficult to solve.

Wang GUI raised his head and said, "what silver did you say?"

"What else can it be?"

Gongsun Yun's face changed and said hurriedly, "we will kill Beirong people's silver reward and military pay in the North!"

"We seized two military flags, beheaded more than 30 generals, killed more than 1000 rebels, and the military pay promised by the imperial court in advance. There should be a total of 100000 liang of silver."

"So you are so brave?"

Wang GUI bowed his hand, but his expression was indifferent. He probably regarded them as people who falsely reported their war achievements.

In fact, on the battlefield of Yunzhou, thousands or tens of thousands of enemies are reported every day. However, the bandit army has never been less and less, and it has become a practice to falsely report military achievements.

"The silver arrived yesterday, but the amount is inconsistent with what the general said."

"How many?"

Guo fan's eyebrow peak jumped and subconsciously felt bad.

"A thousand Liang."

"How much?"

"Bang..."

The atmosphere of the whole hall suddenly solidified.

Guo fan's face was cold and solemn. Gongsun Yun's face was gloomy. Gan xingba, Zhang Lan and others had clenched their hands and looked very angry.

"Say it again?"

"How much?"

Wang GUI's body shook and he was covered with cold sweat.

He trembled, forced to smile and opened his mouth: "generals, you need to go through the Ministry of household, the Ministry of war, the governor's office and the local government before you get here."

"This is allocated layer by layer. Every layer needs to be searched. It's good to have 1000 Liang."

"I'll fuck you!"

Gan xingba could no longer control his anger. He flew up and kicked him to vomit blood.

"General!"

At the right time outside the door, several soldiers came and threw two drunken people to his highness.

"These two men are grain transportation officers. They embezzle our grain and grass!"

"Embezzle food and grass?"

Guo fan's mouth was drawn, but he didn't feel surprised: "how much did you give?"

"I've checked the humble position. Except for the top layer, there are all sand and grass buttercups below."

The soldiers threw their fists and bowed their hands, with a murderous look on their face: "the total number is less than one tenth of what they promised, and they are all inferior grain and grass!"

“……”

The field is quiet again.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

Guo fan got up slowly from his seat and smiled grimly: "since they don't give it, let's get it ourselves."

"General!"

As soon as Gongsun Yun's face changed, he would come forward to dissuade him.

"No!"

Lu GUI hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him and shook his head gently at the same time.

"Someone!"

Guo fan glanced coldly at his highness: "pull out the three of them and cut them off!"

"Yes!"

Left and right should be loud.

"General!"

Wang GUI, as soon as the faces of the two grain transportation officials changed, said urgently, "I'm the governor's cousin!"

"I'm friends with Tui Guan..."

"General, spare your life..."
