The money and food that Boss Dong gave him was only enough for half a month's expenses of thirty thousand soldiers. What about the other half a month? What about the other generals?
Moreover, I once boasted that being my soldier can lead to a good life. Compared to winning a battle, I'm afraid that now everyone is looking forward to eating meat every day instead of eating bread and dry food every day.
Now that everyone had been under Majestic Hero's command for less than a month, their rations were almost depleted. However, Dong Zhuo had only given Majestic Hero half of the money and rations. How could Majestic Hero not be shocked? He could already see the soldiers mutiny in front of his eyes.
Majestic Hero regretted not paying attention earlier. No wonder Dong Zhuo had asked about the military pay when he wasn't around. He had planned to take advantage of the fort and deduct some of my pay. After we finished talking, everyone would agree that it was reasonable for me to take the pay. I had no room to argue.
Majestic Hero was impressed by Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was indeed capable enough to be the overlord of the world for a while. However, Majestic Hero could not understand why he was the only one being deducted. After all, he had made a great contribution!
Just as Majestic Hero was about to speak, Dong Zhuo continued,""Governor Hua, I also know that the military pay is of great importance, but the palace treasury is indeed tight. For the sake of the overall situation, I can only make Governor Hua yield a little. Everyone, Governor Hua has suffered for the great affairs of our dynasty. I want to add Governor Hua as a general of the five senses to comfort his heart. Do you have any objections?”
Everyone present was well aware of Dong Zhuo's actions. Deducting Hua Xiong's military pay, but increasing his rank and salary, could this really appease the dissatisfaction in Hua Xiong's heart?
However, considering Dong Zhuo's determination to build Chang 'an and Xuwu, no one dared to say anything. Only Li Su and Xu Rong shook their heads secretly, feeling sorry for Hua Xiong. Even Li Su doubted his own opinion, wondering if Hua Xiong was really a partner he could work with.
Seeing this situation, Wang Yun was the happiest. Because he was now certain that Li Ru had not taken Hwa Xiong in as his confidant, otherwise Dong Zhuo would never treat Hwa Xiong like this.
After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Majestic Hero immediately lost the chance to speak. He felt like he had been slapped in the face and given a sweet date.
However, he had always been the only one who did this to others. Now that Dong Zhuo had done this to him, he did not know whether he should say that Dong Zhuo was a little weak, or that he was easy to bully, or that he should not have brought more than 20,000 people to Chang 'an.
If he had brought 30,000 people to become a small duke, he would definitely not have encountered this.
However, at this moment, Li Ru stood up.
When he heard Dong Zhuo's actions, Li Ru was also shocked. His lord had actually decided on this matter without discussing it with him. This was really ruining his own plans. If he treated a tiger general like this, there might be trouble in the future!
"Prime Minister, in my opinion, this amount of pay is too little for Governor Hua. If this situation continues, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable.”
Majestic Hero could not help but give Li Ru a grateful look. He thought to himself that taking the blame for Li Ru was indeed beneficial.
Dong Zhuo frowned. He knew what Li Ru was talking about. But in comparison, he would rather take Majestic Hero's pay than ruin his own plans.
The dock was his last fortress in case he really couldn't hold on, he had to ensure that the dock was sturdy. Chang 'an's defense was also imperative.
These were all things that cost money, but after burning Luoyang, Chang 'an lost all trade in the east for a short period of time, which also led to a sharp decline in the income of the imperial court.
He would not touch the salary of the Western Liang army, and the salary of the other generals of the imperial court could only be reduced slightly. Otherwise, the repercussions would be great. Dong Zhuo thought about it again and again, and decided to take back the money that should not have been spent from Majestic Hero's team, which had no foundation, because this was a team that should have died.
But now that Li Ru had spoken, Dong Zhuo's trust in him could be described as absolute.
Dong Zhuo said,"Well, if that's the case, then-then I'll add another ten thousand coins and grain. What do you think, son-in-law?" This was already the limit that the Imperial Court could bear.”
Li Ru still wanted to say something, but looking at Dong Zhuo's expression, he could only blame himself for not telling Dong Zhuo about his intention to win over Hwa Xiong.
Majestic Hero did not feel relaxed when he heard the number. It was still too little!
However, after hearing Li Ru's words, Majestic Hero knew that there was no point in saying anything else. After all, he was not leading the Western Liang Army!
On the other hand, the lack of money had given Majestic Hero the heart to do business.
He secretly said to himself, If you don't give me money, I'll earn it myself! Not only do I want to earn enough money, but I also want to turn all my military equipment into super models. With Gao Shun's training methods, my 30,000 troops will be able to defeat your 100,000 Western Liang troops.”
It was close to noon when the court session ended. Li Ru had already arranged a banquet yesterday to introduce Majestic Hero, a new noble, to all the people in his Western Liang camp. They were to get to know each other, so everyone followed Li Ru to Li Ru's residence.
On the way, Xu Rong and Li Su kept complaining about how unfair Dong Zhuo was to him. However, Majestic Hero knew that there was nothing he could do about it, and complaining was just venting.
Moreover, Majestic Hero already had other plans in mind. Compared to leaving the lifeline of his army in the hands of a person who would soon be killed, Majestic Hero felt that it was more important to earn money.
However, Majestic Hero did not intend to tell anyone about his thoughts, so he pretended to be troubled.
"I'm suffering! I'll really be poor in the future! Brother Li, Old Xu, you must save me in the future!”
Xu Rong and Li Su's expressions changed when they heard this. In fact, their pay had been reduced when they returned to Chang 'an, but it was not as much as Majestic Hero's.
"Brother Hua!" Li Su couldn't help saying. This time, the prime minister is sparing no expense to reinforce the city defense and the dock. Our military pay has also been reduced a little. In my opinion, Brother Hua only has one option, and that is to disband the thirty thousand strong army by ten thousand men. This way, the army's pay can barely be maintained.”
"F * ck you, what kind of stupid idea is this? If I do this, what will the other 20,000 soldiers think of me? Damn Li Su, you really look down on me. I have to earn enough money no matter what.”
Majestic Hero scolded Li Su in his heart, but he knew that Li Su was being kind. He said with a bitter face,""Well-it's a matter of great importance, I'll think about it.”
While the three of them were on their way, Li Ru came over to comfort Majestic Hero. He said that he had not been careful enough, which had caused the Prime Minister to be distracted. He said that he would try his best to help Majestic Hero build his reputation in the court. When the time was right, he would ask the Prime Minister to increase his pay.
