Jiang Zhong looked at Wei Qing and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Such a general, but he was suppressed alive, only in front of a small chief, I really don't know how much more blood of the Han soldiers will be shed because of this result!

"Wei Qing, you have made great achievements repeatedly, but you have only been promoted, I don't know how you feel?" Jiang Shilang spoke. He recruited Wei Qing for nothing else, just to comfort Wei Qing and let him not be discouraged. Comparing his heart to his heart, if he Jiang Zhong was in Wei Qing's position, I am afraid that he would have been discouraged a long time ago.

"Your Excellency," Wei Qing replied, "Being a man but seeking a clear conscience has always been clear since ancient times!" ”

Well said! Jiang Zhong secretly cheered in his heart, and suddenly felt refreshed: "Wei Qing, it's really rare that you can have this spirit." I thought you would be a little disheartened, but it seems that this official is too worried. ”

"Lord Xie cares." Wei Qing also understood, it seems that this Lord Jiang is actually very aggrieved for himself, so he should also say what he means, "My lord, Wei Qing has not worried about what reward he deserves, but now I am really worried about the supply of food and grass for our army, but my official position is humble and I dare not speak nonsense." ”

Jiang Zhongyi frowned: "Didn't the grain and grass have already been paid?" Haven't you come yet? ”

"Didn't come at all." Wei Qing replied, "Now there are only seven days' food left in the army. ”

Jiang Zhong was silent for a while.

He knew why Liu Anbang didn't come to ask him for food, because Liu Anbang knew who was the one who supervised the grain.

Last time, due to the lack of grain and grass, Gu Shangshu ordered the withdrawal of the army and disbanded the soldiers, and was very impeached by several chapters, this time Gu Shangshu ordered the appointment of a unified grain officer, who was responsible for collecting grain and grass in a unified manner, and then distributed it to various troops.

There's nothing wrong with this approach, and it's a good one. It's just that there is one thing, no matter how good the method is, it depends on who implements it.

The grain Taoist appointed by Gu Shangshu was the brother-in-law of the second brother-in-law of his second aunt's brother-in-law.

It's true that this kinship is bent enough, but the connection is not that complicated. I heard that on the night of the appointment, the grain official sent twenty loads of yellow rice into Gu Shangshu's mansion.

Yellow rice is not corn, nor is it sticky rice, it means gold. And one quintal generally refers to one hundred taels.

So if you put it clearly, you sent two thousand taels of gold to Gu Shangshu.

No one is stupid enough to give away two thousand taels of gold in order to earn a salary of one hundred taels of silver per month, and since he can give such a huge amount of money, of course, his income must be amazing, at least more than the amount he sent.

Therefore, the quality of grain and grass is getting worse and worse, there are more and more old rice and rotten rice, and the catties are becoming more and more wrong, and even the top is rice and the bottom is stone.

Jiang Zhong knew about this, Liu Anbang also knew about it, and at the same time, Liu Anbang also knew that even if he complained to Jiang Zhong, it would be invalid, because Jiang Zhong was not capable of managing this matter. It's better to just keep quiet.

Speaking of which, Liu Anbang is also quite familiar with the knowledge of being an official, and he spoke out, offending Gu Shangshu and the grain official, and this grain will be even more difficult to urge in the future, and it will hinder his promotion, and it will also make Jiang Zhong embarrassed, and the final result is that nothing has been accomplished, there are all kinds of harm and no benefit, and he is silent, at most he is short of food and grass, but this is not to blame him Liu Anbang, but to blame the grain official. It's just that for the whole situation, how much damage this does can be imagined. After thinking about the results, Liu Anbang still seems to have decided not to speak. At least now Jiang Zhong knew from Wei Qing that there was a shortage of food and grass in the army, not from Liu Anbang.

The question is, since Wei Qing has already pleaded his case to him, is he really ignoring it like this? If he ignores it like this, not only will the entire battle situation be completely unadvantaged, but he will also be unable to get out of it. Gu Shangshu can say, you are in the army as a soldier in the army, but you don't deal with such a big thing, and finally lead to a change in the battle situation, it's not your responsibility and whose responsibility is it? So he didn't know about it, and now that he knew, he could only take care of it.

Wei Qing saw that Jiang Zhong was silent, and he was a little anxious in his heart, of course he didn't know that there were so many inside stories here, and said: "My lord, now that our army is short of food and grass, and the soldiers are seriously dissatisfied, although the Jin army has retreated for a while, if our army can't take advantage of this good opportunity to strengthen its strength, after the Jin army is reorganized, how should our army respond to the enemy?" I, the people of the Han Dynasty, what year will I bleed until then? ”

Jiang Zhong's heart tightened.

Yes, my big Han people, what year will I bleed until now? If it was just an alien invasion, it would be worth our blood and sacrifice, but now we are defeated at the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if he watches this kind of practice, when he wakes up in the middle of the night, can he sleep peacefully?

"Being a man but seeking a clear conscience has always been clear since ancient times!" Wei Qing's words just now suddenly rang in Jiang Zhong's ears again. He patted his knee lightly, and it was settled! He can be inappropriate for this official, but he can't let the unjust souls of countless compatriots come to him in the middle of the night to ask for his life!

"Wei Qing, don't worry, this official will definitely rush the grain and grass as soon as possible, and there will be enough soldiers." Jiang Zhong decided to be sure and immediately made a promise to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, sir!" ”

It should be me who thank you, you saved the whole army! Jiang Zhong thought to himself.

As soon as Wei Qing left, Jiang Zhong immediately shouted, "Yu'er, come out!" ”

No one answered.

Jiang Zhong snorted and was about to call again, but saw Jiang De cowering and stepped forward and said, "Master, Miss is out to play, and I will come back in a while." ”

"Phew!" Jiang Zhong's heart was on fire, what is a girl running around in the barracks! When I'm fine, I'm dangling in front of my eyes every day, but I can't find her when I'm doing something!

"Get her back for me!" Jiang Zhong ordered, "Just say that I have something to find her!" ”

Where did Jiang Xiaoyu go? She went to find Wei Qing.

Wei Qing left from the front door, Jiang Xiaoyu went out from the back door, made a circle, and intercepted Wei Qing.

"Wei Qing, you stop!" Jiang Xiaoyu called Wei Qing.

Wei Qing had no choice but to stand. He originally wanted to pretend not to see, but he couldn't also pretend not to hear, not to mention that Jiang Xiaoyu stopped him head-on.

"Hello Miss Jiang." Wei Qing pretended to have amnesia, as if he was seeing this young lady for the first time.

"I'm not good at all!" Jiang Xiaoyu replied angrily.

"Then, Miss Jiang is not good." Wei Qing immediately corrected his mistake.

"You 。。。。。。" Jiang Xiaoyu was speechless for a while, and stomped her foot hatefully: "Wei Qing, you haven't apologized to me yet!" ”

Wei Qing smiled bitterly.

It was the first time he had met such an intrusive eldest lady, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"I'm sorry, eldest miss," Wei Qing could only give in, "next time if there is such a thing, I will definitely not let them tie you so tightly." ”

Jiang Xiaoyu almost didn't get angry, she really felt a little crying and laughing: "Wei Qing, that's how you apologized?" Believe it or not, I'll slap you in the mouth again? ”

"I believe it", Wei Qing said seriously, "But Miss Jiang, the army has military regulations, don't talk about you, even if Lord Shilang trespasses like that in the dark night, his life will be in danger." We are fighting against the Jin Army, not playing games, how can we believe you casually just because of your words? No matter how many times you slap me in the mouth, I still have to say: next time, I will still do the same. ”

Jiang Xiaoyu was speechless. If Jiang Zhong hadn't told her these things in advance, she might have continued to lose her eldest lady's temper, but she already knew that military law was ruthless, and now she was really embarrassed to let her use strong words.

"Miss, if there is nothing else, I will say goodbye." Wei Qing saw that Jiang Xiaoyu didn't speak for a while, so he wanted to slip away.

"You wait!" Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly stopped Wei Qing.

Wei Qing looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and waited for instructions.

But Jiang Xiaoyu really didn't know what she was going to do to stop Wei Qing, in fact, she couldn't figure out why she sneaked out to find Wei Qing.

"You've done so much, aren't you afraid?" Jiang Xiaoyu had nothing to say.

"Why should you be afraid?" Wei Qing was puzzled.

"Stupid!" Jiang Xiaoyu didn't know if she was scolding Wei Qing or herself, "I mean, aren't you afraid when you kill enemies on the battlefield?" ”

"Of course I'm afraid." Wei Qing replied, "Sometimes I am afraid and my whole body trembles, but no matter how scared I am, I have to rush forward, right?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu snorted and nodded: "You are so brave." ”

Wei Qing almost laughed out loud: "I'm afraid that my whole body is trembling, is it brave?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu's face flushed: "I mean, you rushed forward knowing the danger, this is really brave." ”

"That's not bravery, Miss Jiang, that's hatred." Jiang Xiaoyu's words seemed to have touched a hidden pain in Wei Qing's heart, he couldn't hold back his words a little, he pointed into the distance, "Have you seen those barren lands?" Have you ever seen the bodies of people who fell on the side of the road? Have you ever seen a twelve-year-old with a seven-year-old ploughing the ground with a rusty firewood knife? Have you seen a woman working in the fields weeping when she hears the news of her father's brother's death? Wei Qing said as he spoke, and the shadow of Zhao Yueru's mother and daughter seemed to appear in front of him, and his voice became low, "If you have seen this, when you face the Jin Army, you will rush forward without hesitation." Because we are human beings, we have feelings, and we feel anger at the suffering of our fellow human beings and ourselves. ”

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Wei Qing dumbfounded, she didn't expect that her ordinary question would lead to such a large paragraph, with Wei Qing's words, Jiang Xiaoyu felt that the gold-armored god-like Wei Qing in her heart slowly changed, becoming a flesh-and-blood person.

"However, that is still brave," Jiang Xiaoyu lamented, "not everyone can rush forward." ”

Wei Qing smiled. He agreed. At least Gu Weidong would never rush forward, and it is not clear whether he had the courage to run away at that time - I hope he will have this courage.
