Section 4: Plans for Purchasing Grain

Lying on the bed, Guan Yan's thoughts were very chaotic, and his worries were one after another, the top priority was to solve the problem of grain and grass, to grab it? It's almost all the things that should be robbed, so go and borrow it? I guess no one wants to borrow and buy it? It's still possible...... Just as Guan Yan was thinking wildly, a voice came from outside the tent door: "Yan'er can rest?" It turned out to be his father, Guan Yan turned over and sat up: "Is it your father?" The child has not rested. ”

Guan Hai opened the curtain and lowered his head and slowly walked to Mazha and sat down, and said to Guan Yan, "Why haven't you rested yet?" Guan Yan sighed: "The child is worried about the matter of grain and grass, and the father must be here for this matter." Guan Hai was shocked, laughed and said, "Wu'er knows me very well!" After that, Guan Yan also laughed: "Father is handsome and relieved, Uncle Bu said before he left that he would discuss countermeasures for his father, and there must be results in these two days." Hearing this, Guan Hai lowered his face and snorted and said, "Yan'er, you are sixteen today, and today's remarks have made your father very relieved, and my father has a person to discuss with him in all matters." ”

Guan Hai stood up, paced behind his back with his hands behind him and said: "Dongjun belongs to the land of Qingzhou, and its Taiping Dao Dojo also belongs to Qingzhou. When I had the Taiping Road Incident, Kyushu was in turmoil, and Bu had absorbed merchants from all over the world in Dongjun, and in less than half a year, he had accumulated 150,000 stone of grain, and the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun was less than 3,000 people, and now even if its military strength is doubled, 150,000 stone of grain can also make 10,000 troops eat for two years. I borrowed food today, and I tried it, but the result was unexpected. Guan Yan said angrily: "Such a villain, how can my father marry Jin Lan with him?" Guan Hai looked out the window and said: "When the righteousness was formed, Bu was already a man, and I promoted him to the commander of the Yellow Turban of Dongjun, how do you know now...... Hey~" After speaking, Guan Hai closed his eyes and sighed.

Guan Yan saw that Guan Hai was depressed in his heart, and he was reluctant, so he hurriedly put on cloth shoes, picked up the ash and gently draped it on Guan Hai's body, a copper coin was taken from the bed and fell to the ground by the ash, Guan Yan looked at the copper coin on the ground, his heart lit up, and said: "The father is handsome and relieved, and the child has a plan." ”

"Oh?!" Guan Hai suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Guan Yan's arm tightly with his right hand, and said excitedly: "What is the best plan for Wu'er?" Teach me quickly. Guan Yan looked at the iron hoop-like hand on his arm, and said with a wry smile: "Father Shuai listened to me slowly. As he spoke, he gently pulled away Guan Hai's hand, rubbed his arm and said, "The child heard that his father has some money in his hands, why don't you contact Shangjia to buy grain and grass?" ”

Guan Hai was a little embarrassed and said: "Hey, the child doesn't know, it's just that the father's hands are too dark, and the merchants in Qingzhou have been looted by me seven or eight out of ten, or killed or burned, and the rest have escaped from Qingzhou, or have been used for Bu, I'm afraid no one will sell me grain and grass, and there are very few merchants who are willing to trade with me in Taiping Road, although there is a lot of money, but there is no use." Guan Yan thought to himself: It turns out that you are the ancestor of the "three-light policy". Fortunately, Guan Yan also expected this, and he smiled: "Father, now the big clans in the Quartet are recruiting soldiers and accumulating grain and grass to resist the uprising of our Taiping Dao. ”

Guan Hai's eyes lit up: "Ah, why didn't I expect that tomorrow I would pack up and go to Xuzhou." Guan Yan rolled his eyes and looked at Guan Hai's not very elegant face, and thought: You look like a child of a big clan, going to buy food is similar to grabbing food, don't enter the city when the time comes, it will be difficult to get out of the city. Guan Yan muttered in his heart and persuaded Guan Haidao: "The foundation of my Taiping Dao incident is still shallow, and my father needs to stay in Qingzhou to preside over major events." And my father once said that I am sixteen, and this trip to Xuzhou is a good opportunity for me to experience. Please allow my father to allow me to pretend to be the son of the Yanzhou clan to buy grain. ”

Guan Hai hesitated: "You are motivated, my heart is very peaceful, but the road is far away and dangerous, and my father is not at ease." Guan Hai's affectionate words moved Guan Yan very much, looking at Guan Hai's appearance, Guan Yan remembered his parents in that era two thousand years later. Now Guan Hai is his only relative in this world, whether he is a high-ranking official or an ordinary person in this world; Is it an important minister of the court, or a thief. He is his own father, since he has come to the current point, the only thing he can do is to fully protect his father's interests, safeguard his own interests, so that he can gain a foothold in this troubled era, fortunately, he has in his mind the lessons and lessons that people have summarized in the Three Kingdoms for two thousand years, and has a very advanced cultural knowledge in this era, he believes that he will be able to do it!

Guan Yan gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said firmly to Guan Hai: "Father, rest assured, although the child is sixteen, he still trains hard day and night, and it is no problem to deal with ordinary three or five people." If my father is still not at ease, he can ask General Zhou Cangzhou to pretend to be a writer and go out with me, and pick fifty yellow turban wrestlers to escort me, and if there is an accident, he will be able to escort me back safely. Guan Hai didn't speak, his brows were furrowed, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart, with the mouths of six thousand people on one side and the safety of his son on the other.

After a long time, Guan Hai slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly: "Okay, my son has this ambition, how can my father not help him?" Rest early, refresh your spirits, and set out tomorrow. "Then turn around and leave." Father Marshal wait a while," Guan Yan hurriedly called out to him: "Father Shuai, there is one more thing, our army has been out of food for dozens of days, the child will set off tomorrow, if things go well, it will take more than a month to be able to transport grain back from Xuzhou, between the rest of the month, how will the father of our army's grain and grass deal with it?" "Uh, this ......," Guan Hai muttered, clutching the back of his head.

Guan Yan continued: "This matter has to be wronged by my father, tomorrow after I leave, my father will immediately rush to Dongjun, Bu has promised to return to Dongjun will gather to discuss, my father can use this as a reason to inquire about the result, thinking that although Nabu has been treacherous, but he will have no face to let his father return empty-handed, and the food he asks for will be more or less, and he will be able to survive January." Guan Yan was afraid that Guan Hai would not be able to lower his face, so he pleaded: "I hope that my father will focus on the overall situation." Guan Hai's words reassured Guan Yan: "Don't worry, child, the matter is serious, for the sake of the father, you should rest early and set off early tomorrow." With that, he opened the door and strode away without looking back.

Guan Hai quickly returned to his tent and shouted to the surrounding guards: "Don't wait for the night tonight, go and rest quickly." Seeing the face of the big boss Tie Qing, the night vigil soldiers thought that the big boss was in a bad mood today, and thought: Don't touch this moldy head, not to mention that he still let us go to sleep, and instead of going to work, we won't sleep in vain. Thinking of this, the Yellow Turban Army who kept vigil went back to their respective tents to sleep. Guan Hai saw that everyone was gone, so he opened his tent door, and after entering the tent, he lay on the bed and covered his head with a quilt! Guan Hai took out his deceased wife's hairpin from the pocket of his underwear, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

It was late at night, and Guan Hai was still whimpering in the tent, and in the other tent, Guan Yan was also nervously tossing and turning because of the first trip to this new world, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night......

The next day, the red sun began to rise, and the earth that had been silent for a night was slowly covered with sunlight again, and everything gradually recovered, and the dewy grass lazily puffed up its chest to welcome the new day. With a bang~, the curtain was opened heavily, and a big foot stepped on the lawn like an iron hoof, and Guan Hai, who had heavy black circles, "got up". Guan Hai first personally selected a yellow horse as Guan Yan's mount, and then selected fifty shrewd and capable people in his own personal guard, plus Zhou Cang, a total of fifty-one people lined up, Guan Hai walked up to the general platform and said to them: "You and other fifty people are the best of our army, General Zhou is the general of our army, and now the young general goes to Xuzhou to buy grain, and you need to protect him." If it is done, after returning, Benqu will be rewarded; It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, you just need to protect the young general thoroughly, but if the young general is missing a hair, he will ask you when he comes back! Do you hear me? Looking at Guan Hai's serious face, and then thinking about Guan Hai's temperament to protect the calf, Zhou Cang led the fifty yellow turban wrestlers to reply loudly: "If the young general is missing, I am willing to come and see him!" ”

When Guan Hai spoke, the sound of a gong-like broken throat was extremely loud, and it had already reached Guan Yan's tent. Guan Yan, who also had two black circles under his eyes, finished dressing up and walked out of the tent to the sidelines, and Guan Hai had already prepared the things for the trip, so he almost moved himself directly to the horse. Seeing that Guan Hai, who usually looks like a big man, was so careful to prepare everything for travel, Guan Yan suddenly remembered a poem in his heart: The line in the hands of the loving mother, and the shirt of the wanderer. Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late. Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs. Guan Yan's eyes turned red again: Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

Guan Hai saw Guan Yan who came to the sidelines, and hurriedly beckoned: "Wu'er is up, come on, come on, everything has been arranged, you should leave early." When Guan Yan walked up, Guan Hai saw Guan Yan's face and asked with concern, "Wu'er didn't rest last night?" Guan Yan said: "The child is about to travel, and he is reluctant to give up his father, and he stays awake all night." ”

Guan Hai sighed and patted Guan Yan on the shoulder and said, "Daddy is not like this, I just hope that you will go early and come back early, don't let Daddy worry." Guan Yan nodded heavily and said, "Daddy, don't worry, the child will come back early." ”

When the two of them were talking, Du Yuan and Pei Yuanshao had also come to the * field. Du Yuan's eyes rolled when he saw this scene and laughed: "Qu Shuai, why be so sad, the young general is young and promising, and he will return safely." Today is the first time for the major general to 'go on an expedition', come, the little ones serve wine and march for the young general! With that, two Yellow Turban soldiers brought two stacks of bowls and lined up on the ground to form a long snake, and another Yellow Turban soldier took a wine jar and began to divide the wine.

After all the traveling soldiers got the wine, Guan Hai raised the wine bowl and said: "Everyone, this commander will wait for you to return triumphantly in a month!" "Anyway, drink it all. Everyone drank it all with Guan Hai. Guan Yanben didn't like the wine of this era, it was turbid and yellowish, similar to mud; The taste of the wine is very light and sour, but today Guan Yan thinks that this wine is still good, it seems that drinking wine really has to pay attention to the atmosphere. The surrounding Yellow Turban Army was dumbfounded: This is such a big pomp to go out to buy grain and grass, we don't have this position to fight and swear to fight!

Guan Hai put down the wine bowl and looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, let's leave early." They answered, "Oh! "After that, they all turned over and got on their horses. Although Guan Yan has never practiced martial arts, he is fortunate to be physically strong, so he can also learn to move forward with horses. Guan Hai walked to Guan Yan's side, pulled the reins of the yellow horse and whispered to Guan Yan: "Wu'er remember, things are light, body is heavy, if there is an accident, you must get out and return safely!" Guan Yan bent over and clenched his fists slightly: "Don't worry, father, the child is provincial." Guan Hai walked behind Guan Yan again, beside Zhou Cang. Guan Hai looked at Zhou Cang and said deeply: "General Zhou, my son will be handed over to you." Zhou Cang hurriedly dismounted: "Qu Shuai, how can this be done." As he spoke, he hurriedly helped Guan Hai up and continued: "Qu Shuai, rest assured, the last general will do his best to protect the young general!" ”

After Pei Yuanshao, Du Yuan, Guan Yan, and Zhou Cang exchanged pleasantries for a while, the team finally set off. Guan Hai stood quietly in front of the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, like a wooden stake, watching the slowly marching procession. After walking more than 100 steps, Guan Yan looked back and saw that Guan Hai was still standing quietly in front of the gate of the village, unable to bear it, and shouted loudly: "Father, go back, take care of your body!" ”

Guan Hai didn't speak, he stood there motionless, Guan Yan knew that his father was determined to see him leave, and the slower he walked, the longer his father would stand. Thinking of this, Guan Yan gritted his teeth and flicked the horse's whip to the horse's buttocks, sat down and sat down on the yellow horse in pain, and galloped wildly.

Guan Yan ordered loudly: "All the soldiers speed up!" After that, the whip sounded, and the entire horse team gradually disappeared from Guan Hai's field of vision at the junction of heaven and earth, and a line of turbid tears finally fell from the corners of Guan Hai's eyes without hesitation......
