Chapter 123

Because of the things in his heart, Xu Hui slept very unsteadily this night, obviously he was vague several times, and he was about to fall asleep, but he always felt that he was hanging by something and couldn't sleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After tossing and turning for a long time, it was easy to feel a little sleepy, and I heard the sound of the curtain being gently lifted. I saw Ah Yuan and Ah Shuang walking in lightly, the latter pulled out the hairpin, dialed the oil lamp near the door of the tent that still had half a wick, and then lit it. Suddenly, a dim light illuminated a corner of the tent, enough to see the copper basin placed aside.

"Cold water is fine, no need to waste effort to boil hot water." Even though it was still early, Xu Hui didn't mean to rest for a while, she instructed them while getting up neatly, straightening out the slightly wrinkled clothes, and then fastening the cloak firmly.

Hearing Xu Hui say this, Ah Yuan waved his hand lightly and asked others to fetch water. He walked quickly to Xu Hui's side and persuaded: "The weather is very hot, and you are lying in your clothes, your clothes are wet with sweat, and then you are blown by the wind, which is really unsafe." It's not dawn yet, it's still early, you ......"

Xu Hui thought about it and felt that it was right, or the body was the most important, so he untied the cloak strap and ordered neatly: "Just take a bath, when you boil the water, get some warm water for me to wipe my body, let's get a basin of cold water first!" ”

Knowing that this was the bottom line of her concession, Ah Yuan didn't say more.

After wiping her face with cold water, Xu Hui suddenly felt much more sober, she estimated the time, and felt that there was still more time, so she spread out the topographic map of the entire territory of the party, ready to study and figure it out for a while. Seeing this, Ah Yuan hesitated for a long time before he asked with some uneasiness: "Mr. Liu...... Mr. Liu is not kind to Captain Jiang, will the general ...... him with Su"

"I have my own reasons for arranging this, you don't need to worry about it." When Xu Hui heard this, he said a word without saltiness, and then softened his tone a little to appease his henchmen, "You don't want to see him speak bluntly in front of me, so undisguised, if he is someone else, he will help him count the money if he is sold." ”

Seeing that Ah Yuan should be down, but still a little unconvinced, Xu Hui thought about it and added: "From ancient times to the present, there have been many people who have been given poisonous wine, except for the few who draw their swords and fight hard, how many people can survive?" He has lived in the party for the past two years, except for borrowing books from his grandfather to copy something, and who is disgusted? The reason why he fought with me was just that I touched his sore spot and made him unable to calm down. ”

Xu Hui's explanation sounded very natural and reasonable, and Ah Yuan believed it, after all, no one wanted their scars to be mentioned again and again. She didn't think at all that if Liu Chan was poked in the sore spot a little, she would behave abnormally, would Xu Hui still value Liu Zhan?

In fact, Xu Hui knew in his heart that the real reason was nothing else, as Liu Zan said, he regarded Xu Hui as another outlier in the world besides him. Almost earnestly, enviously, and mixed with jealousy, I want to see Xu Hui's ending.

He wanted to see Xu Hui end miserably, proving his theory that "the world is unreliable, and flesh and blood affection are completely useless"; There was a faint expectation in his heart, eager to see Xu Hui die well, proving that there are still people in the world who can tolerate aliens, he just met the wrong person, not that there is no future. The interweaving of the two complex moods caused his special attitude towards Xu Hui, and Xu Hui ...... She also felt that she needed to really build a strong team of her own, rather than someone else, even if it was given by her relatives, the power that could be withdrawn at any time, so she repeatedly tolerated Liu Zhan's provocation, because if something happened to her, there were really not many people who could really help her. In other words, it is precisely because Liu Zan knows this that he has no fear and openly uses low-level means that are completely inconsistent with his mind and ability to provoke a little.

Establish a team ...... This matter must not be rushed, causing her father and brother to react too much, and she still needs to plan a little, and wait for her cronies Qin Jiu, Zhuang Qi and others to climb to a high position with their military merits, so that they can really speed up. Now, no.

Thinking about these miscellaneous things, the time that was not long passed quickly.

Shangdang Xu's 500 tribes, together with Jiang Hua's 120 private tribes, plus 50 cavalry formed a phalanx, no matter how the autumn wind blows, they can't shake the tip of their spears.

Xu Hui stood in front of Jiang Hua and Liu Zhan, and said with a straight face: "We know very little about the enemy, and we don't know what to do for the time being. ”

Jiang Hua nodded solemnly and promised: "I will live up to the general's trust!" ”

Xu Hui didn't have anything to worry about Jiang Hua, so when he heard this, he lightly bowed his head and glanced at Liu Zhan. The latter wore a wide robe and a relaxed expression, even if he was in a strict military camp, it was like a leisurely stroll. No matter how unruly a person is, when he sees Liu Zhan's demeanor, he will subconsciously praise "good man".

Knowing that he should have said everything, he couldn't control anything if he insisted on doing it, and Xu Hui didn't explain a word to Liu Zhan.

According to the management of the military camp as usual, or the Lord's general to buy people's hearts, before the soldiers set out for the battle, they would often pour wine for each other personally. But Xu Hui thought about it repeatedly, and always felt that this step was good for a man to make, and it would be weird for her to make it, so he omitted this step and sent someone to say hello to Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua also knew that Xu Hui was bound by his identity, and he strived for majesty in the army, even if he was so hot that he almost had prickly heat, he refused to change out of his formal clothes, and he would not say goodbye to her in such a trivial matter. After the two of them were greeting for a while, Xu Hui symbolically said a few words, and after boosting morale, Jiang Hua solemnly bid farewell to Xu Hui and led people away with Liu Zhan.

The camp of 2,000 men was reduced by 500 men, and it was much emptiest in an instant, so that the soldiers would not be too idle to vent their energy. Xu Hui divided them into several waves, two hundred people followed Chu Heng back to Xiangyuan County to maintain the order of the conscripted soldiers, as for the others, those who cut the grass went to mow the grass, those who cleaned the camp went to clean the camp, and they had nothing to do to practice, just wait for Chu Heng to recruit enough manpower, and the army would start directly.

Xu Huiman thought that if he gave an order, there would be an endless stream of people who joined the army, and the only thing that delayed time was that the personnel had to be selected and registered, so he specially sent two hundred people to maintain order, but he didn't expect that Chu Heng would come over with a bitter face before he said anything at noon.

"Three hundred?" Xu Hui raised his voice slightly, looked at Chu Heng, and his tone was already a little unkind, "Chu County Order, this joke is not funny at all." ”

If Chu Heng's bitter smile last time was a fearless gesture and full of hypocrisy, then his wry smile this time was absolutely sincere and full of worries about his future. After all, he couldn't recruit people at the beginning, because he didn't have enough resources at hand, and at most it was unfavorable, but Xu Hui couldn't recruit soldiers with such generous conditions...... Who else do you think Chu Heng intends to get along with Xu Hui? But that's exactly what happened.

As soon as Chu Heng went back, he met Pang Jie and discussed it with him, and then the starry night summoned the officials, and Pang Jie also sent all his subordinates out, not to mention that ten percent of the people were notified, and fifty or sixty percent of the people knew the news, who would have ......

Even if he was dissatisfied with Chu Heng and saw Chu Heng's demeanor, Xu Hui knew that his words were not false in the slightest, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed: "How can this be?" They don't even ...... the fields."

Xu Hui was only halfway through her words before she came to an abrupt end, because she suddenly understood what the problem was.

People from a family are more or less arrogant and superior, which is the character cultivated by the growth environment, and it cannot be changed at all without major changes. The difference is that Xu Hui is much better than ordinary families, in the end, he knows some people's livelihood and suffering, and he also knows the truth that "if you want to take it, you must first take it". So when she wanted to recruit soldiers, she took the field as a reward, and she thought that the reason was solved, but she misjudged human nature.

To tell the truth, Xu Hui looks down on the homeless people very much, not only because they are almost equal to the "mob" and can be transformed into the latter at any time, but because the homeless people have even lost their hometown, just like rootless duckweed, floating wherever they go, they can do anything in order to survive, and the ugliness of human nature is vividly displayed. Is it because in Xu Hui's thoughts, they appreciate the fields themselves, and they have to rush over like begging dogs? But she didn't expect that the displaced people in Shangdang County were very different from the displaced people in other counties.

If a person is poor, he is even more afraid of poverty; After being hungry and cold, the more I don't want to experience that taste anymore; People who are not adrift shout every day that they want to wander, but they never know the bitterness of homeless people. The displaced people finally settled down, and in the party, the officials did not dare to be too greedy, and the domestic slaves did not dare to bully others, and they caused the destruction of others at will. Leasing the land and cattle of the government requires a tax of sixty percent, which seems to be a bit heavier, but there is no messy project, at most a few horses of silk and cloth will be paid a year. As long as you have a pair of hard-working hands, save some food, and save a little surplus, who doesn't want to continue to live such a good life, and run to the battlefield to die? If a man is given a reward of two acres of land, even if the tax becomes fifty percent, it is not cost-effective compared with the labor force of a strong man. If it weren't for the fear of not being able to get out, it would make the county lord angry, and there were some people from the slightly larger clans among the displaced people, not to mention three hundred, whether it could reach one hundred or not was very suspenseful.

"Female ...... General, look, this ......" Seeing that Xu Hui sank his face and didn't speak, Chu Heng's heart was really a little apprehensive. As a county magistrate, he has 600 stone per year alone, not to mention the various conveniences he enjoys in the mansion he purchases. Besides, men, who doesn't chase power? Thinking of this, Chu Heng regretted not being at the beginning-why did he try to be cautious, and he didn't work hard at the beginning, offending Xu Hui? Now it's okay, even if it's unintentional this time, it has to be intentional!

"It's not that there is no solution, but it will drag on for a while." Xu Hui's expression was very bad, and every word seemed to burst out from between his teeth, "Time is pressing, everything is in power, forcibly conscript me into the army!" (To be continued.) )
