People really don't want to work overtime in Daxia

Chapter 167
"I don't know what the general ordered the villain to come over?"

"Are the bows and arrows and rolling logs and stones for the city defenders prepared enough?" Dongfang Zhan asked looking at the crowd below.

Hearing this, the quartermaster sweated even more, and quickly touched the sweat on his head with his hand. ,

Dongfang Zhan saw that there was no response, and when he looked back, he thumped in his heart and shouted angrily, "Speak!"

The quartermaster trembled, and then said tremblingly, "Report to General, the city has insufficient reserves of bows, arrows and rolling logs and rocks."

Dongfang Zhan's eyes widened when he heard this, and all the soldiers who heard the words on the left and right looked at the quartermaster, and the city wall fell silent for a while.

Being watched by so many people, the quartermaster's body trembled even more. He could feel that if it weren't for Dongfang Zhan, he might be skinned alive by these soldiers.

Dongfang Zhan also noticed this scene, glared at him fiercely and said, "Come with me!"

The two came to a secluded place under the city wall, where the quartermaster stood there daring to speak.

"What's going on! Tell me clearly!" Dongfang Zhan shouted angrily in a low voice.

"General. We don't have enough reserves. I'm afraid we only have enough to defend one round of attack." The quartermaster thought about it and said. In fact, this is what he said too much, but if it is not enough for one time, Dongfang Zhan will kill him now.

"What! According to regulations, Huangping City must reserve enough equipment for five sets of defense equipment, why is there only one-fifth of it left now!"

"What about the rest? If you don't tell me you're ugly, I'll hang you on the city wall!"

Now the quartermaster was really scared, he knelt down on the ground and cried, "General, please forgive me!"

There was a big commotion now, which attracted soldiers not far away to look this way, and they all looked this way curiously.

"Stand up, what a look! Do you want everyone to know?"

At this moment, the quartermaster also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he stood up and lowered his head and said, "General, it's not my fault. It was the people in the General Quartermaster's Department who took the money!"

This time, when the East War started, I just felt dizzy and dizzy. The General Military Supplies Department was in charge of my prince's brother-in-law, so it was not clean in the first place.

"You and I have been working together for a few years, please explain the matter clearly to me."

"General, every time the General Military Supplies Office allocates us weapons and equipment, they have to kick back." The quartermaster said excitedly, "From [-]% at the beginning, to half of the later, to more than half of the later."

"The supplies that came last time were already [-]% of the regulations, and they were all defective."

Dongfang Zhan felt a rush of blood rushing into his head. He knew that there was a lot of chaos in the General Military Supplies Department, but he never expected that it would go so far.

"Didn't you make a fuss at the top? Just let him withhold things like this!"

"My general, it's not that we don't quarrel." The quartermaster said with a wry smile on his face at this time, "A brother had a quarrel before, and he went to the palace, but the steward of the palace was with them, so he was kicked out immediately. , and we never saw that person appear again.”

"His wife, children, and children were not too old. One night, the house caught fire, and they all died inside. They were burned alive!" The quartermaster said with his eyes widened, "Do you think we still dare to resist?"

As soon as this example was uttered, he choked back what Dongfang Zhan was going to say.Now the quartermasters in the Dongdu army are all low-level soldiers who came up step by step.They are well aware of the importance of quartermasters, so there are very few cases of deduction of military pay in the Eastern Capital Army.

The king of Zhendong also thought of this before giving ordinary soldiers a chance to prevent the sent people from filling their pockets for their own self-interest, but he forgot that everything went through the General Military Supply Department. clean.

If these quartermasters are also ordinary people, who can beat Zhendong King's brother-in-law?Besides, they are all ordinary people with no background. In a city as big as Dongdu, even if everyone dies, there will be no splash.

As a result, everyone's weakness has long been exaggerated by Zhendong King's brother-in-law.But it's useless to say anything now, even if the quartermaster is beheaded for public display, it's useless.

The main problem now is how to resist Yu Qing's attack. Dongfang Zhan is not as vigorous as it was at the beginning. Now he doesn't want to point out the country, but just wants reinforcements to come soon.

"Go and collect some fire oil for me to defend the city right now, and collect as much as you can find in the city!"

The quartermaster did not move immediately after hearing this, but looked at Dongfang Zhan with a troubled expression.

"General, I know where you can find kerosene in the city, but we don't have money, so we can't afford it."

"What about the silver? I remember that the military salary for this month hasn't been paid yet, so use that silver." Dongfang Zhan thought for a while and said.

Unexpectedly, the quartermaster's face turned even worse when he said this, "The military salary for this month has not been delivered. Last time I told us that the military salary will be paid one month after the error."

Dongfang Zhan was really angry when he said this, he pulled out the saber from his waist and slashed fiercely on the big tree beside him, penetrating three points.The quartermaster stood aside trembling for fear that Dongfang Zhan would attack him.

"This gang of corrupt officials who are not human! How dare they corrupt my military salary at the border. If it weren't for the enemy soldiers coming to the city, I would definitely ask the prince for an explanation."

"Since there is no money in the account now, then I'll make an IOU with them and borrow it first!" Dongfang Zhan said helplessly, there is no other way now, and he can only use this method to solve it.

Dongfang Zhan secretly made up his mind that when this matter was settled, he would go back to Dongdu and ask King Zhendong for an explanation.

When Dongfang Zhan came to the city wall again, Jiang Wei had already started to prepare. Seeing each of them holding small bags in their arms, Dongfang Zhan seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't catch it just at that moment.

Jiang Wei smiled viciously on the city wall when he saw Dongfang Zhan, and after a while, he placed gunpowder bags from there, determined to blow up the place where Dongfang Zhan, the thief, was standing.

It would be easy to catch him when the time came, and now he would be able to avenge the morning.

Yu Qing looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's act. Try to take this place before dark, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Jiang Wei nodded. Now is the time to make up for his mistake in the morning. Although Yu Qing, the Marquis, is usually very kind, but after a long time, he is full of the air of a superior, and his subordinates are also respectful and fearful.

After selecting ten tall and burly soldiers, Jiang Wei walked up to them and said, "Do you all know the next mission?"

Jiang Wei was still a little uneasy and asked before acting, and everyone replied loudly, "I know!"
