Chapter 41: Wang Erbian's Anxiety
Marshals and generals all have this virtue, not to mention the big-headed soldiers who drink heavily, eat large pieces of meat, pour the money they robbed in Bianliang City in front of them, and look at the dice that are constantly rolling on the carriage board.
He shouted with a straight face, "Big!" "Small!"
Guo Wei not only gambled with the generals, but also had fun with the grassroots soldiers. He stared at the dice and yelled like them. His dice throwing skills were very clever, and he almost hit nine out of ten. If he lost, he would happily give money and win.
No need, wherever he went there would be cheers.
"Big! Big! Oops - it's actually a small one." Guo Wei said helplessly: "Guo, you will lose miserably now. Old Mutou will give you money."
Behind Guo Wei, an old soldier in his forties touched his empty money bag and said, "The captain has no money."
Guo Weigong cupped his hands and said: "Then there is nothing we can do. Brothers, please let Guo owe you the debt. It can be settled another day."
"We can't let the Lieutenant just leave like this. He just drinks when he has no money. A bowl of wine is worth the money. Let's all agree, okay?"
Regardless of whether Guo Weitong agreed or not, someone immediately picked up the wine jar and put a bunch of wine bowls on it, filling them up one by one.
Guo Wei scolded: "You bastards, why do I owe so much money? You are deliberately trying to kill me."
"Hehe... If the Lieutenant accepts the bet, he must admit defeat. If you don't drink this wine, it will be bad for your reputation if word spreads. Who will dare to bet with you in the future? Brothers say yes or no!"
Seeing that the soldiers around him were making noises, Guo Wei had no choice but to pick up a wine bowl and said, "The others don't dare to say that my gambling products are top-notch. Don't ruin my reputation."
Guo Wei picked up the wine bowl and drank it one by one. Every time he drank a bowl, the people around him cheered loudly. After drinking a row of wine bowls, his face was full of drunkenness and he was stumbling. Guo Wei pointed to everyone one by one, "Today we are here."
Here, I will wait until I can find my place tomorrow." After saying that, he hooked the old man's shoulder and staggered away.
All the soldiers bowed their hands to see him off respectfully, and waited until he was far away before they stood up. Some wanted to continue gambling, while others said: "The captain is not here, so what's the point of gambling?"
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Lao Song and Wang Erbian also returned to their tents. The other brothers in the tent were already drunk and asleep, snoring loudly.
The two of them took a quilt and wrapped it around themselves, then lay on the hay in the tent. The fire was blazing outside the tent, and they could feel the warmth through the tent.
Old Song put his hand into his money bag and counted today's gains in the dark, "How much did you win just now, Second Transformation?"
"It's not much, it's less than the usual amount of money." Wang Erbian's voice was a little absent-minded.
"We already have a lot of money, what else are you thinking about. If Taiwei Guo didn't care, we wouldn't even be able to win this money. It's been a long time since we met such a superior.
During the Tianfu period, it was Du Chongwei, a corrupt official who never cut off anything, and then there was Shi Hongzhao, a ruthless man. There are not many officials as easy-going and generous as Guo Taiwei."
Wang Erbian didn't reply for a long time. Old Song just thought he was asleep and was about to close his eyes to sleep. Wang Erbian suddenly turned his head and asked: "Old Song, didn't you say that Lieutenant Guo will become the emperor? He
Why are you still working for the imperial court?"
Lao Song said: "You ask me, who am I asking? According to common sense, Guo Taiwei should be the emperor. I didn't know that he was so big-hearted. His entire family was killed and he worked for the Liu family. This is not us.
Worry about it, go to bed quickly, we still have to travel tomorrow."
Wang Erbian said: "I can't sleep. I heard that the imperial court has chosen another member of the Liu family to be the emperor. Is it true?"
"It's true. I heard someone say that he seems to be the military governor of Wuning."
"You said that we betrayed the imperial court, indirectly killed the emperor, and also robbed Bianliang City. If the Wuning Jiedushi becomes the emperor, will he settle the score with us?"
"Hehe... you don't even know who you are. The emperor knows who you are. Even if he wants to settle accounts, he will only find those who are officials, and he will kill us soldiers one by one."
A soldier next to him who had fallen asleep suddenly said: "Old Song is right, so many people surrendered before the battle, and there are too many people robbing things in Bianliang City. If they are all killed, who will be returned to the emperor?"
Work hard. Anyway, I have already sent the things home, there is no way you want me to vomit them out!"
Lao Song also said: "The things I robbed have been hidden under the stove for a long time. Who dares to say that I robbed his things and found them first?"
Wang Erbian sighed and said, "Then I'll be in trouble. What I'm robbing is a living thing that can't be hidden."
"You idiot, you have robbed someone else's cow and taken someone else's sheep, so you don't bother to go back and kill the meat and go into the belly to see where they are."
"I'm afraid it won't work. I robbed a woman and sent it home for my mother to watch."
"You idiot, you can't go into a brothel if you want a woman. I can't help you now. The new emperor wants to settle accounts after the fall, so I'm afraid he won't be able to escape you!"
"Can a woman from a brothel still give birth to a baby for me?" No one answered Wang Erbian's words. He lay on the haystack and felt uneasy. He didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.
When Wang Erbian's snoring started to sound, the snoring of other people in the tent stopped one after another, and they were tossing and turning...
If there is something fishy, there must be something fishy. Xu Xian saw everything in the military camp. He asked Zhao Kuangyin. This was indeed Guo Wei's usual style, but this time it was really exaggerated.
Guo Wei raised troops to clear the emperor's side and invaded Bianliang in one fell swoop. Now that the emperor is dead, he did not ascend the throne himself but wanted to establish a new emperor, which is completely inconsistent with the historical trajectory.
Xu Xian guessed that Guo Wei must be waiting for some opportunity. If what he expected was true, it would be this expedition.
The guy in front of me had done the same thing. He led the army out of the city in a leisurely way. However, Huanghe just put on his yellow robe at Chenqiaoyi and turned around to kill him with a carbine.
But Xu Xian was in the handsome tent, but there was no movement at all, and Guo Weiren was not around anymore, which made him surprised. Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Brother Xian, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat, Jun."
There are few places in the world with such good food, here is this piece of fat meat for you!"
"Oh, Brother Zhao can eat the fat ones by himself, but I like to eat the thin ones! Brother Zhao can go and do what he needs to do, and I can just watch A Bao alone."
Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and said: "You are mistaken. I am not here to watch the beasts, but to watch you. Where do you think this is? This is the handsome tent! I don't want you to touch anything you shouldn't and behead your head.
I can't help you!"
"Don't put the word me and beast together. It sounds like a curse. Besides, I'm not so careless as to touch the things in the commander's tent. Where are the others, Taiwei, why haven't they come back?"
As soon as Xu Xian finished speaking, he saw the curtain opened and two soldiers came back supporting the drunken Guo Wei. Xu Xian quickly stood up and stood aside.
Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward to help Guo Wei, "How could Old Mutou let the Taiwei drink so much wine? Hurry up to the back tent to rest and get some sobering soup."
Guo Wei pushed everyone away, "I'm not drunk, where is my idiot?"
When he saw Ah Bao lying on the felt blanket, he sat down next to it, stretched out his hands to hold it in his arms. Ah Bao, who was disturbed from his sweet dream, had a blank look on his face, opened his mouth wide and yawned dissatisfiedly.
"My stupid pig! Hehe..." Guo Wei hugged Abao tightly and babbled nonsense, "I didn't want this to happen. They forced me to do it. They forced me to..."
Abao patted Guo Wei on the back with his stubby arms and fat bear paws, as if to comfort him, I understand, I understand...
