Two days later, Lu Wenhuan came to the Zhizhai Department and met with Shi Zhailan.

"Your humble position, Lu Wenhuan, has seen Mr. Zhizhi!" Lu Wenhuan clasped his fists and bowed, "I'm humble because I'm injured. Please forgive me for not being able to perform the full courtesy."

Shi Zhaizhi looked at Lu Wenhuan and said with a smile: "General Lu, there is no need to be polite."

Lu Wenhuan quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you for your consideration, sir. From now on, I will always look after you."

Shi Zhaizhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Lu, I heard that your brother Lu Wende was appointed deputy commander by King Linyi. Why did you choose to submit to the imperial court?"

Now Shi Zhaizhi has doubts in his heart about Lu Wenhuan, and it is not clear whether it is Zhao Tai's trick.

When Lu Wenhuan heard this, his face was full of anger and he said: "My lord, don't doubt your humble position. My brother and I were originally soldiers under the lord Quan of Huaixi. When the Mongolian invaders invaded, the army was dispersed. Seeing the Qi army going south for reinforcements, we went to help the Qi army cross the river, but we were unable to do so."

I don’t want the King of Linyi to take the opportunity to annex the tribe.”

Shi Zhaizhi looked at Xia Gui and saw the latter nodding, and couldn't help but said: "It turns out they are Huaixi soldiers." Lan

The horse that was thrown in front of me was Degong, a water bandit from Chaohu Lake and a native of the Song Dynasty.

From this point of view, the Song people under Zhao Tai still have their hearts set on the Song Dynasty.

Lu Wenhuan continued: "On the surface, the King of Linyi promoted my brother, but in fact, the deputy commander had no real power at all. He transferred my brother away, which can be said to be an overt promotion and covert promotion, so that he could take the opportunity to send his confidants to control the Huaixi soldiers we brought there.

"

Shi Zhai analyzed Lu Wenhuan's words in his mind and asked himself, if he were Zhao Tai, he would do the same.

Shi Zhaizhi checked the authenticity of Lu Wenhuan's words in his heart, but there was no doubt on his face that he had no doubt at all, "What King Linyi did is indeed disgraceful."

Lu Wenhuan said: "In addition to wanting to annex our troops, the King of Linyi also treated us and the old generals of the Qi army unfairly. This time, the horse gained merit and came to join the husband. Wang Xiu, who was in the humble position and the military commander, was responsible, but the King of Linyi did not

He punished Wang Xiu, but in front of the whole army, he beat the humble official with thirty military sticks. With such unclear rewards and punishments, and different treatment, how could the humble official continue to serve him."

After saying that, Lu Wenhuan went to take off his clothes and show his beaten buttocks to Shi Zhaizhi, "I am a former general of Huaixi, and I have no intention of surrendering this time. If you don't believe me, just look at the injuries sustained after Beizhi's death!"

Lan

Shi Zhai waited for Lu Wenhuan to take off his clothes and saw the horrific scars on his body, then waved his hand and said: "General Lu, I don't distrust you. What are you doing? Put your clothes on quickly!"

Lu Wenhuan put on his clothes and saluted Shi Zhai, "Ms. Sir, the King of Linyi controls the army and does not listen to the court's orders. His ambition is not small. If it is allowed to develop, it may cause harm to the court. I am a Song Dynasty man who is in a humble position. Today I risk my life to advise my Prime Minister.

, please the court must be careful!"

After hearing what Lu Wenhuan said, Shi Zhaizhi couldn't help but stand up, walked to him, and said with emotion: "General Lu is really a loyal and righteous man! You can recover from your injuries in Chuzhou City. After you recover from your injuries, I will definitely not

Not treated well!"

Lu Wenhuan said: "Ms. Sir, if I come to join you from a humble position, the morale of the Qi army will definitely be shaken. Now is the best time to appease the Qi army on the north bank. I am willing to write a letter to let more soldiers return to the Song Dynasty!"

Shi Zhaizhi naturally had no objection to this proposal. He originally wanted to poach Zhao Tai. Now that Lu Wenhuan can continue to ask people to cross the river, he naturally wants it.

Shi Zhai immediately said: "Okay! If you can still recruit soldiers and horses from the north bank, I will reward you heavily!"

Lu Wenhuan clasped his fists, "My humble position will never disappoint my husband."

Shi Zhaizhi nodded with satisfaction, "You are injured, go down and rest!"

Lu Wenhuan asked, but refused to leave.

Shi Zhaizhi frowned slightly, "You still have something to do!"

Lu Wenhuan was a little embarrassed, "My lord, I heard that Ma Degong came here, and my lord immediately gave me a reward!"

"Haha~" Shi Zhaizhi laughed when he heard this, "Are you afraid that I will make a mistake?"

Lu Wenhuan hurriedly saluted, "I don't dare to do it! I just promised to bring the brothers who came here to be promoted and make money. If I come back empty-handed today, I am worried that my brothers will misunderstand my husband. In addition, it is not convenient for me to recruit the people from the north bank."

Shi Zhaizhi nodded and turned to look at Xia Gui, "Xia Tongzhi, how many people and warships will General Lu bring?" Lan

Xia Guidao: "There are 2,438 soldiers, 14 large ships and 30 small ships."

Shi Zhaizhi immediately walked back to the table and sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a note, then stamped it with his official seal and handed it to Lu Wenhuan, "I treat people with integrity and have clear rewards and punishments. This is 20,000 yuan, which is more than the agreed amount."

Master, take it and go to the treasury to withdraw the money!"

Lu Wenhuan was lame and stepped forward to take it. He said happily: "Brothers, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Zhizhi!"

Shi Zhaizhi waved his hand, "Go down!"

When Lu Wenhuan went down, Shi Zhaizhi asked Xia Guidao with a serious face, "What do you think?"

Xia Gui shook his head, "According to what Lu Wenhuan said, what he said was reasonable and there was no obvious flaw. After all, he was originally from the Huai Army and was not a direct descendant of the King of Linyi. It is reasonable to be dissatisfied with the different treatment by the King of Linyi. However,

I always feel like this is going too smoothly!"

Shi Zhaizhi pondered for a while, "Now that the people are here, everything is under my control. After you go back, firstly, you must beware of the north bank to prevent the Qi army from sneak attacks, and secondly, you must monitor the surrendered soldiers to see if they behave abnormally.

."lan

Xia Gui nodded, "I understand the humble position."

…

On the south bank of the Huaihe River, the soldiers of the Qi army who had surrendered were arranged to go ashore and protected by the Song army.

In the camp, the five hundred soldiers who came first have lived in the camp for seven or eight days.

Shi Zhaizhi gave Ma Degong five hundred guan as agreed, but the money went into Ma Degong's pocket. When he arrived at the south bank, he led several hundreds of households to spend money in Chuzhou City, without any thought at all.

Manage subordinates.

The treatment of civilian officials and military officers in the Southern Song Dynasty was indeed very good, but for ordinary soldiers, it can only be said to be average.

The people who came to serve as soldiers in the Song Dynasty were either civilian soldiers who were ordered to be safe, or victims of disasters who were recruited into the army after the Song Dynasty was worried about riots.

The social status of these soldiers was very low, and it was easy for the Song Dynasty to replenish them, so even if they did not pay much attention to them.

In addition to the forbidden troops and fair treatment of the Song army, how the local army lives depends entirely on whether the Shangguan has a conscience.

The military discipline of the Song Army was not as strict as that of the Qi Army. The pay system gave the generals a lot of room for maneuver. Even Han Shizhong, one of the four generals of ZTE, also had some ideas about military pay.

In the camp, after the 500 Qi troops arrived at the Song camp, no one took them to train. They just lay in the camp to bask in the sun all day long, and then waited for food.

At this time, Song Jun carried several large buckets and threw them on the ground, "dinner is ready!"
