Chapter 113: Defection
Guan Ping is brazen and can ask Liu Biao for a dowry.
But Guan Yu couldn't pull this face, so Guan Yu scolded for a while, and Guan Ping left in disgrace.
This request to Liu Biao for a hundred ploughing cattle as a dowry came to an end.
But when it came to this, Guan Ping still took advantage. This marriage is about Ping and didn't give a dowry, and he got a wife, but he didn't know whether he was beautiful or ugly, whether he was virtuous.
It's a blind marriage.
There must be a dowry, and Liu Biao can't afford to lose that person. There are at least many domestic slaves, slaves, furniture and the like, and there may be a few houses and shops in Xiangyang.
So if Guan Ping asks for a dowry, it is actually rude.
It's just that Guan Ping is shameless and has no face and no skin.
So two things happened on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Guan Yu knew about the captain of Diannong and scolded Guan Ping.
Guan Ping suggested to Guan Yu to ask for a hundred ploughing cattle as a dowry, and was scolded by Guan Yu again.
Wait, if you do the math, it seems to be the same thing.
Guan Ping was scolded???!
For the next ten days, Guan Ping was in a state of idleness, practicing martial arts during the day and "plowing the fields" at night. However, I don't know if Zhang Yu was explained by Liu's and strictly controlled the number of times Guan Ping "ploughed the field" at night.
You can only do it once a night.
You can only come for one night in five days.
This made Guan Ping, who had tasted men and women for the first time, very dissatisfied and protested, and the result was that the protest was ineffective. This made Guan Ping recognize one thing clearly, who is the real boss in this inner house?
Mom Liu!
In the ninth year of Jian'an, on the twelfth day of the first month. Shut down the bed and miss the meal. Guan Ping got up from the quilt when the sun was three o'clock, and Zhang Yu, who never got out of bed, got up early and sat in the small hall with his son Deng Ai in his arms.
Smelling the movement in the bedroom, Zhang Yu handed Deng Ai to the two maidservants with him, and explained, "Serve food." He came to the bedroom and waited for Guan Ping to dress and wash.
When Guan Ping came out, there was already rice porridge and eggs on the table in the small hall, as well as a plate of braised pork.
"Father...... Kiss..... Father.... Deng Ai leaned forward in the arms of the servant, stretched out his arms towards Guan Ping, and stammered.
Guan Ping suddenly showed a big smile, and reached out to hug Deng Ai and sit in his arms. Then scoop up a spoonful of rice porridge and put it in Deng Ai's mouth.
Deng Ai shook his head and stammered, "Full, full..... Full. ”
Zhang Yu looked at it and smiled, the reason why she stayed in the Hou Mansion and agreed to be Guan Ping's concubine was because Guan Ping was so good to Deng Ai.
But Zhang Yu was worried, and said: "How can Ai'er's stuttering problem be good. ”
"He's still a kid, it'll be fine when he grows up." Guan Ping said with a smile. According to historical records, Deng Ai only stuttered when he was young, and he should be gone when he grows up.
Guan Ping can't remember clearly, but it doesn't matter, as long as he remembers that it's Deng Ai.
Stuttering is just a minor issue.
Zhang Yu couldn't cry or laugh, he hadn't heard that stuttering would be fine when he grew up, but he had heard that stuttering would be worse when he grew up.
But it's okay, it's okay.
The little prince is so good to my son, and my son should have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
Guan Ping had breakfast, handed Deng Ai back to Zhang Yu, and was about to go out to practice martial arts. Ding Feng and Ding Feng brothers stood in front of the door long ago, and the two brothers are now inseparable from Guan Ping.
Guan Ping could see the two of them when he went out in the morning, and he could see them before going to bed in the afternoon.
"Captain." The two of them rushed to the level and bowed their hands.
Guan Ping waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite. At this moment, a small official walked here, came to the front and back of the gate plane and saluted respectfully: "Little prince, Yin Cheng sent a villain to find you. ”
Guan Ping's heart moved, and asked Yin Guan to send someone to Jiangdong a few years ago to see if he could buy a Shanyue woman back and send 5,000 soldiers as his wife, I'm afraid this is the matter.
Guan Ping nodded and went to the front yard, Yin Guan's room. Ding Feng, Ding Feng's brothers naturally followed. Outside the room, Guan Ping walked in, and the Ding brothers stood outside.
There were two people in the room, Yin Guan sat on the main seat, and a person dressed as a small official sat on the guest seat.
"Mr. Yin."
"Little Prince."
Guan Ping and Yin Guan greeted each other, and the little official also saluted Guan and called him "Little Prince". After that, Guan Ping came to the guest seat and sat down, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Yin, but the Shanyue woman over there in Jiangdong has arrived?" ”
Yin Guan nodded, then pointed to the little official and said, "This is Zhang Hu, who went to Jiangdong and was responsible for buying Shanyue women." ”
Guan Ping looked at Zhang Hu, who was very calm, and arched his hand and said, "Little Junhou." Last year, Jiangdong quelled the Shanyue rebellion and collected tens of thousands of people, among whom the strong were pawns, and the old and weak were the people, each with its own business. Sun Quan was not enslaved, so there were not many Shanyue women who became slaves. The villain went to Jiangdong on this trip, but only bought twenty-five people. ”
Guan Ping heard that his head hurt, and he deserved to be Sun Quan, and he also knew the importance of population. This mountain has rioted every year, which has caused great damage to Jiangdong.
But every time Sun Quan was victorious, he was able to gain a large number of people.
Until the late period of Eastern Wu, there were records of the Shanyue riots, and then the imperial court quelled the chaos and collected the records of how many strong people were collected.
If Sun Quan kills all the strong, it is easy to say that he enslaves the women of Shanyue. Now Sun Quan is to appease Shanyue and make him a good citizen.
In addition, since the time of Liu Bei, Xinye has expanded the population by buying servants and slaves, and now the slaves and servants in the market are almost extinct.
Therefore, Zhang Hu's trip to Jiangdong only received 25 women from Dashanyue.
And these twenty-five people were matched with 5,000 Cao troops?????
How is this distributed?
Can you cut small portions?
Guan Ping shook his head and didn't think about it for the time being. just said to Zhang Hu: "Settle these twenty-five Shanyue women first, and I'll figure out how to distribute them." You're tired too, go down and rest. ”
"No." Zhang Hu promised, bowed and went down.
"Mr. Yin, what about the ploughing cattle? Spring is about to begin, how many ploughing cattle are there in my Shitun? Guan Ping turned his head and asked Yin Guandao.
Yin Guan smiled bitterly and said: "Xinye's population has grown rapidly, and since the time when the old lord was here, he has been buying cattle outside. But there has also been a shortage of cattle. A few years ago, I sent someone to Xiangyang to buy farming cattle and got 20 cows. Ten heads were given to the county, and the remaining ten heads were given to Ma Jichang. ”
"I have ten thousand people, and ten cows?" Guan Ping's eyes widened and he said incredulously.
Yin Guan smiled bitterly and nodded.
"This kind of field still needs the combined efforts of people and cattle, but people alone can't cultivate many acres." Guan Ping sighed, and then said to Yin Guan: "Mr. continues to send people to buy cattle, Bashu, Jiangdong, Jingzhou, all send people over, buy more cattle before the beginning of spring, you can buy them at an appropriate premium." ”
Yin pointed out that he should take this matter first, but he knew that it was extremely difficult. For the common people, cattle and land are equally important production tools, unless the family is ruined, who wants to sell cattle?
Even if it is an old cow, it is reluctant to sell.
And it's about to start spring, and every household needs cattle to plow the fields.
You can only do your best in this matter.
Wife, ploughing cow.
This is the important problem faced by the 5,000 Cao troops under the command of Guanping's Diannong Lieutenant and Shitun. As for the top and bottom of Xinye, it is natural that Yin Guan will cooperate with all the ministers to deal with it, and there is no need to worry about Guan Ping.
Immediately, Guan Ping and Yin Guan talked for a while, and were about to leave. I saw a small official walk in from outside, and reported: "Little Junhou, someone from the Ministry of Agriculture has escaped." ”
This little official Guan Ping recognized that it was a small officer of his home camp. When he saw this person, Guan Ping knew that something was wrong. Hearing this, he naturally sighed, got up from his seat and said, "Prepare the horse and go to the Ministry of Agriculture." ”
Immediately, Guan Ping, surrounded by Ding Feng, Ding Feng's brothers, and some soldiers, came to the yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Sun Qian, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang, Li Fei, and the officials in the yamen came out to greet them. After these people saw Guan Ping, they saluted and met.
"Don't be polite, talk inside." Guan Ping waved his hand and led everyone to the lobby of the yamen to sit down, and the Ding brothers stood on both sides of Guan Ping with their swords.
Sun Gan, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang, Li Fei, and the officials sat down according to their official positions.
"In which district did it happen and how many people defected? Did you send someone to chase after you? Guan Ping asked.
"It's Zhang Junhou's jurisdiction, and there are twelve people who have defected. Zhang Junhou personally led people to chase after him, and asked Liaohua's spy department to help. ”
Ma Liang said in a deep voice, and then said ashamedly: "Lord Captain." If he is ineffective in his duties, he will also ask the captain to punish him. ”
"It's not all to blame Ji Chang, these soldiers have always been very honest, and besides, I expect that the soldiers have no rations, weapons, bows and crossbows, even if they escape, they can't escape back to Wancheng. So that there is laxity up and down. Unexpectedly, these soldiers actually defected. ”
Sun Qian said with a wry smile.
Everyone knew that Xiahoudun was very good at governing the army, and his soldiers were loyal. But everyone also knows that they are going hundreds of miles to Wancheng, and the troops have no rations, so it is unlikely that they will go back.
Unexpectedly, these soldiers really took risks.
The subordinates of the lieutenant of this agricultural school were unexpected.
Guan Ping shook his head and said to Ma Liang: "Ji Chang, you are the battalion Sima, I am not in charge of the overall situation in you, and it is not your problem to take care of the troops." I think it's mostly because Brother Zhang is careless, so he slackened his guard. When he returns, if he recovers the surrendered soldiers, the army waiter, the Dub, the chief, and the captain each receive ten military sticks. If it cannot be recovered, the penalty will be doubled. ”
This time, Ma Liang smiled bitterly and stopped biting, because Guan Ping guessed correctly. Zhang Bao's care was lax. Zhang Bao is straightforward and coarse. Seeing that the troops had not made trouble for a long time, they relaxed their guards.
That's why the troops were allowed to run away.
In addition to knowing that Zhang Bao is coarse, there is also a negative example. Lee. Li is the military candidate who Guan Ping personally picked up, and crossed Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, Zhou Xiong, Li Fei and others.
This man is ambitious and capable. He must be loyal to his duties and strictly supervise the troops under his command, so nothing happened.
On the contrary, something happened to Zhang Bao.
Ma Liang is a sophisticated person, and he gets along well with Zhang Bao, so he wanted to resist this matter by himself. Unexpectedly, if Guan Pingdong watched the fire, he could only smile bitterly.
As for Guan Ping.
Although he and Zhang Bao are brothers, they still have to fight.
You have to let this brother remember the lesson, otherwise something will happen sooner or later.
