Chapter 177: Proverbs
Lu Zhan's days are beautiful, hugging a beauty like Huo Lin, eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the seized warehouse, which is quite happy.
After reading the letter from the scout, Lu Zhan piled it on the bookcase, and Lu Zhan always silently thought about countermeasures in the dead of night, and he didn't have much left of this grain and grass. Sure enough, as soon as the cannon rang out, there were ten thousand taels of gold. The warehouses in Yanzhou are about to be spent, and if Lu Zhan continues to fight, he will have to go to the pawnshop poorly.
Huo Lin looked at the worried Lu Zhan and joked, "Lu Zhan, why have you always had something on your mind in the past few days, it can't be that you are tired of being with me, right?" As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and dragged Lu Zhan's chin. Let's talk about what's going on lately. ”
Lu Zhan thought that Huo Lin was also a person to talk to, so he sniffed and said slowly: "My cousin Lu Tingchen has now gone south from Yunzhou with soldiers and horses, and he will come to Quwo City in a few days. The outcome of the battle of the giant deer is estimated to be a matter of a day or two, but I really don't know what I should do now, now the soldiers are very homesick after going out for so long, and the treasury of Yanzhou is about to dry up. ”
Huo Lin almost didn't know anything about fighting, and after hearing Lu Zhan's words, Huo Lin had to comfort Lu Zhan a few words. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Huo Lin's mind, "I have a plan, but I have to sacrifice you." ”
Looking at Huo Lin's somewhat weird smile, Lu Zhan's psychology was a little hairy, and he made some sacrifices, did he want to sell his own arts to earn military expenses.
Lu Zhan asked tentatively, "What is the plan?" But Huo Lin didn't seem to buy it, but turned around and seemed to think that Lu Zhan's attitude was not good.
After adjusting his attitude, Lu Zhan said in a somewhat flattering tone: "My good Lin'er, quickly talk to my father about what kind of strategy it is, and what I want to sacrifice."
"Well, you listen, this soldier has no fighting spirit, so let the newly recruited people go to war, they are willing to serve as soldiers, and their morale is very high now in order to make meritorious contributions."
Lu Zhan continued to ask: "What is the solution to the financial problem?" You can't let people go hungry to war. ”
"Don't worry, this next step is to sacrifice Lu Zhan, and according to my method, the problem of money and grain and grass can be solved." Huo Lin said with a smile.
When Lu Zhan was puzzled, Huo Lin picked up a brush and wrote three words on the white paper - Zhen Yuehua.
"Lin'er means to marry the Zhen family to gain the support of the Hebei families in the occupied area, so that you can borrow some money, grain and baggage from them."
After putting down the brush in her hand, Huo Lin tapped the table with her index finger. "If you answer correctly, with the support of the local families, the problem of money, food, and soldiers and horses can be easily solved."
Lu Zhan admits that this Huo Lin's is indeed good, this Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu won the support of the family at that time, when more than 20 people crossed the Yellow River to the north to appease the counties, and led the troops back to Luoyang, they were already a group of tigers, with more than 100,000 people wearing armor.
In ancient times, the support of the families and the support of the people was extremely important, and we must not give up any of them.
"It's a good idea, but it's hard to explain it."
"Lu Zhan, why do you have a lustful heart and no lust, marrying Zhen Yuehua is a hundred benefits and no harm."
Just as Huo Lin was grinding her lips to persuade Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan saw a subordinate come over and reported that Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan were outside asking to see each other.
These two of his own ministers came to look for him, presumably because there was something important to find him.
Huo Lin didn't mind meeting ministers like Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan, and Lu Zhan happened to not care about those feudal etiquette.
But when Chen Zhuang and Duan Xiaohan walked in, their faces were not very good-looking, especially Chen Zhuang's face was like the color of the blackboard when he was in school.
In Chen Zhuang's opinion, what are the rules for this woman to participate in military affairs, and she is not Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess in the main room, which makes no sense or law. In Chen Zhuang's heart, Huo Lin has become a character like Su Daji, who is a disaster for the country and the people.
It was Duan Xiaohan who broke the silence first: "The soldiers' desire to go home is relatively strong, but they are still within the controllable range. There is a letter from my hometown, and strangely enough, it is stamped with the seals of two people, one is that of Mrs. and the other is that of Lord Luo. It was the first time that these two seals had appeared on the outside of a letter at the same time. ”
It turned out that Chen Zhuang was homesick because of the soldiers, and Duan Xiaohan happened to meet because of the problem of letters.
Lu Zhan also felt strange that it was the first time that these two people had jointly written a letter to him. After opening the letter, the expression on Lu Zhan's face became cloudy.
"My lord, what's wrong with you, why are you so strange after reading the letter?" Duan Xiaohan and Lu Zhan are also close friends, Duan Xiaohan has never seen Lu Zhan like this for so long.
Lu Zhan didn't speak, but took the letter into his arms. pushed and shoved Duan Xiaohan and Chen Zhuang out. This can make Duan Xiaohan and Chen Zhuang confused, although they were confused, they still remained silent unanimously, in case it was the lord's family matter, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.
After sending the two away, Huo Lin asked, "What did Madame and Miss Luo write to you?" It won't be Madame, she's happy! ”
Hearing Huo Lin's words, Lu Zhangang almost spit out the tea that he had just drunk in his mouth. "This time, Madame also agreed to let me take a concubine, I guess it is the work done by Miss Luo. You and Miss Luo are surprisingly consistent in this regard. ”
It turned out that Miss Luo also knew the difficulties Lu Zhan was facing, and this financial problem had always plagued Lu Zhan, especially when he was fighting, the speed at which this grain, grass, money and grain was consumed was too fast.
"Speaking of which, the biggest obstacle to marrying Miss Zhen has also been solved, so why don't you hurry up and give a dowry now?" As she was talking, Huo Lin raised her leg and kicked Lu Zhan. Huo Lin was worthy of practicing martial arts since he was a child, and Lu Zhan felt that his calf was about to be kicked off when he was caught off guard.
Good guy, is it to murder your husband with such a heavy attack?
After Lu Zhan rubbed his calves, "Okay, I'll go and arrange the marriage proposal." ”
In fact, what Lu Zhan didn't know was that the Zhen family arranged for a Jianghu warlock to spread a proverb in Yanzhou a few days ago.
No, in Hebei, Yanzhou Hou, whether it is true.
This proverb and the Zhen family's promotion spread quickly, and after Luo Yuechan learned the news, she also discussed with Jing Nianshuang, and agreed that it was imminent to obtain the support of the Hebei family.
