Shangguan frowned. In fact, the original intention of the father to make this security deposit was to appease the people's hearts. The amount was not low. Who would have thought that someone would regard it as an opportunity to make a fortune?

This eating look is too ugly!

Shangguan Yu angrily scolded: "I'm afraid there is a big rat in this army!"

What is a big rat?

Shangguan Yu once heard a folk song among the people: Big rats and big rats, I don’t eat my millet! I am three years old and I don’t want to care about my daughter. My daughter is about to leave, and I am in that place. I am happy to have a place for my life.

That song is about the people using big rats who steal food to satirize the greed of corrupt officials and insisting on exploiting the people to the end.

Isn’t this the same thing in the military who falsely reported the accounts?

He could even say that some of the military pay he had deducted from the soldiers was deducted from the hands of the dead. Can he feel at ease with the money?

Shangguan Yu thought for a while and said to Lan Yu: "Go and call Vice General Rong over."

Calling Rong Lian over, Shangguan Yu had another purpose.

The father only sent him to fight with the Huns. As for the corruption, he had no right to deal with it. If he wanted to find this big rat, he wanted to discuss it with Rong Lian. After all, they were the chief generals of the army and the deputy generals of the army.

Rong Lian saw that the Hun soldiers were dormant these days and had been trying to lead the troops to attack on the initiative, but Shangguan Yu did not agree, but just asked the soldiers to continue training and wait for the opportunity.

Rong Lian didn't understand. At this time, the enemy's lords were not there. Isn't it the best time to not attack at this time, and then when? But Shangguan Yu was the lords. He said he would not fight, and Rong Lian had to give up, but he was a little dissatisfied.

Seeing Lan Yu coming to call him, she thought it was Shangguan Yu who finally decided to take the initiative. She felt a little proud of her heart, and felt that Shangguan Yu had finally adopted his opinion.

But when he walked into Shangguan Yu's military tent, Rong Lian felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, and Shangguan Yu's face was gloomy and a little scary.

"Deputy General Rong, I have something to discuss with you. This matter is of great importance, and I hope you will consider it carefully." Shangguan Yu said to Rong Lian with a serious face.

Rong Lian was confused, so he had to nod. "If you have any questions, let's just say it."

"Deputy General Rong, I have sent my confidants to investigate in private these days and found that the hundreds of thousands of military pay in the army each year were not spent in practice. Someone must have greed for this money. I want to find out this borer."

"Who dares to greed for this money? No one reports it to the court?"

Rong Lian was also shocked when he heard this. His father, Duke Rong, was appointed by the emperor to investigate corrupt officials in the early years. The biggest one found was only greedy for more than 100,000 taels, but it also made the emperor furious and finally ordered someone to execute him.

Who dares to pay this military pay attention? If it is discovered, even if he has more than a dozen lives, it will not be enough for him to bear it!

Shangguan Yu asked Lan Yu to repeat the situation he had just said to Rong Lian again.

When Rong Lian heard Lan Yu say that this man dared to get even the pension, he became even more angry. He grew up in the temple since he was a child and often read Buddhist scriptures. He felt a little compassionate, and he became even more angry at this time.

"King Yu, please pull this person out! I will cooperate with you whatever you want me to do."

"Deputy General Rong, listen to me first, why do I discuss with you? It is because I think this matter is not done by one person. There must be everyone in the court behind him, and the position is not low. You are the deputy general. If I act casually, no matter whether you participate or not, I will be considered my accomplice. I am afraid that you will be imprisoned for this, so I hope you will think about it a little more."

What Shangguan Yu was afraid of was to innocently get Rong Lian involved.

"King Yu, no, I'll call you Brother Yu. Since you saved me on the battlefield last time, I said that I will follow you to the death from now on. I still remain unchanged. If you do anything, I will follow you! If there are any consequences, we will bear it together!"

Rong Lian looked at Shangguan Yu's eyes and said word by word, with a seriousness on his face that Shangguan Yu had never seen before.

"Okay! You and I, one is the main general and the other is the deputy general. I am a few years older than you, and I will accept your younger brother. In addition to winning the battle this time, we also have to join forces to find this big rat out!"

"I don't know what Brother Yu is planning to act? But what can I help?" Rong Lian asked.

Shangguan Yu shook his head, "This matter is not urgent, we need to plan carefully. We should pretend not to know it in the face, otherwise if they find out, be alert and destroy the real account book, we will have no evidence at that time.

The military pay will pass through more than a dozen people from top to bottom. We secretly investigate one by one, and we will always find some clues. Sooner or later, those who follow the clues will catch the man."

Rong Lian nodded: "Okay, I'll follow my elder brother's instructions."

Then, he suddenly remembered the reason why he thought Shangguan Yu wanted to call him, and he was still puzzled, and he smelled: "Brother Yu, I still don't understand why you didn't let us attack the Huns these days. At this time, they have no leader. Isn't it a good time to attack?"

Shangguan Yu slowly spoke: "There are two reasons why I won't send troops. One is that although there is no chief general in their army now, the Xiongnu Shanyu sent a deputy general named Jiali. This man is born with divine power and is extremely powerful. He can hold a catastrophe of a thousand pounds. You and I are afraid of being able to fight against each other."

"Why haven't you heard of his reputation before?"

If that general was really that powerful, he would generally hear it, but Rong Lian had never heard of his name.

"It's not just you, I haven't heard of it. I heard from the spy that this man was a little incomplete and his words and deeds were like a five-year-old child. He had been grazing for people. When he encountered wild wolves in the grassland, he attacked a group of wild wolves with one force, and killed all the wolves with just fists. The name of great power was spread, but somehow he was sent by the Huns to be a deputy general."

"Is he a fool?" Rong Lian couldn't believe it.

"The second is because of our own soldiers." Shangguan Yu said, his tone was even heavier.

"It's already late autumn, and because we are at the border, the weather is even colder. But you see, our soldiers are still wearing single clothes and eating clear soup every meal. After the first two battles, they are already a little tired. If we attack again, I'm afraid that the morale will be bad."

After Shangguan Yu said this, Rong Lian realized that the soldiers were indeed wearing single clothes. Are those people planning to make some money from the cotton coat?

At this time, he had to admit that it was indeed not suitable to take the initiative at this time, and he couldn't help but admire Shangguan Yu even more and thoughtful.

"But, brother, it's urgent to let the soldiers put on cotton coats first."

The weather is getting colder and colder. If you don’t put on a cotton coat, someone will probably be frostbite.

"I've thought of a solution, we should..."

The two of them got together and discussed that they wanted to perform a play together for some people to watch.

In the afternoon, Shangguan Yu had to give a lecture at the generals as usual, but today the soldiers felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal.

Rong Lian, who should have arrived, didn't arrive at this time. Thinking of Shangguan Yu's execution last time, everyone was worried for him.

Sure enough, Shangguan Yu's face became worse and worse. Just when he was about to ask someone to find Rong Lian, Rong Lian came from a distance slowly.

When Shangguan Yu saw him, he scolded coldly: "As a deputy general, why are you late again? How can you set an example for the soldiers like this?"

Rong Lian sneered and confronted him directly: "As the head coach, you have never cared about the soldiers. It is late autumn now, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Everyone is still wearing single clothes. The reason why I am late is to visit two soldiers who have typhoid fever. I heard from the military doctor that they have been suffering from fever and have not yet recovered."

Hearing Rong Lian say this, Shangguan Yu's expression was a little strange: "Why haven't you sent out a cotton coat yet?"

The soldiers below all shook their heads. How could they not be cold? They just didn't know why the cotton coats had not been released for a long time.

When Shangguan Yu saw this, his face was even more gloomy: "Come here, call me all the people from the chores!"

The Ministry of Jujube is in charge of the military soldiers' food, clothing, housing and transportation. The soldiers did not have cotton clothes, so they could only go to them for requests.

After a while, several small officials from the choreography department came over. They were all fat and stubborn, which was exactly the same as the figures of the soldiers.

The leader of the group said to Shangguan Yu with a flattering smile: "I don't know what the general is asking us for now?"

Shangguan Yu sneered coldly, "I heard that you have not even put down your cotton coat yet. All the soldiers have typhoid fever because of this. Do you know that they are guilty?"

"The general doesn't know that sewing cotton coats takes a long time. It's not that we don't send them, but that we haven't finished it yet." The man said embarrassedly.

Shangguan Yu's face turned like ice: "Then you will give as much as you have. I will give you two days to make the rest. If one of you doesn't wear a cotton coat in two days, I will serve you in the army."

After saying that, Shangguan Yu turned his head and left, looking very bad.

Before long, Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian had a conflict over the soldiers' cotton coats and spread throughout the camp, and naturally they also reached the ears of those who are interested.

"What? Just because of the cotton coat, they were angry?" asked a middle-aged man somewhere in the military camp.

"That's right, Shangguan Yu got angry because of this and said that all the cotton coats must be finished within two days. Boss, what do you think?" The person who spoke was the leader of the choreography department just now.

"You ask me what to do, and I ask you what to do? You said these two people don't worry about how to fight, but why did they suddenly worry about this? Did you show some clues?"

The middle-aged man said with concern.

"I don't think so. Last time Shangguan Yu beat Rong Lian up because he was late. I think Rong Lian was using this to play, and the two of them had a conflict. But, boss, can we still get some benefits from cotton coats?"

"Snap? Fuck it! As he looks at me, you guys will keep your hands and feet clean."

The middle-aged man thought about it carefully and felt that he was suspicious. It was probably Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian that this time it was just a matter of randomly arresting something and causing conflict. However, since they were concerned about this matter, they must be more honest this time.
