Chapter 0231: Lint Fell into the Ditch?
Is there really no way for Kou Zhun?
Koji didn't believe it.
He felt that his grandfather must have a way to stop Lint from serving as overseer.
But his grandfather didn't do this, indicating that he had other intentions in making Lint the overseer.
For example, taking advantage of the fact that this old man's body is not good and drags him down, or he is tired from the exhaustion of the journey, the old man in the province jumps out from time to time to find a sense of existence.
Although Kou Zhun did not say it explicitly, he did not arrange any means in this regard.
But Kou Ji just felt that Kou Zhun was going to borrow his hand and kill Lint without a trace.
Regardless of whether Kou Zhun has this mind or not, anyway, Kou Ji thinks that Kou Zhun has this mind.
Lin Te will not die, and the soldiers and horses going north will definitely be blocked layer by layer under Lin Te's balance.
So this old guy must die.
But Kou Ji couldn't say this to Cao Wei.
Because of this kind of thing, you can't say it.
If you say it, you will leave a handle, and it is easy to get yourself into trouble.
"Hey......"
Cao Wei sighed and said in a low voice: "The only way to do this is to take one step at a time." ”
Koji squeezed his face dryly, revealing an expression of impotence.
Cao Wei said to Yang Wenguang and Kou Ji: "You two go down to pack your bags, count the grain and grass, and start pulling it out immediately." ”
Kou Ji was stunned and said, "Night march? ”
Cao Wei nodded and said: "As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first." You are not only responsible for the simple task of escorting grain and grass to the north, but you also have to leave enough food in the post stations along the way for the army to bury pots and cook after the arrival of the army.
The march of grain and grass is slow, so you have to be one step ahead.
Otherwise, the speed of the march will be delayed.
It must be known that the war in the northwest brooks no delay and cannot be delayed for a moment.
If we were delayed on the road for a moment, it was possible that dozens of soldiers would die in the northwest. ”
Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded slowly.
"Xia Guan understands."
Out of the big tent of the Chinese army.
Yang Wenguang took two quick steps, walked in front of Kou Ji, and gave a solemn salute.
Kou Ji hurriedly picked up Yang Wenguang and said, "Brother Wenguang, what are you doing?" ”
Yang Wenguang said solemnly: "If it weren't for the promotion of the virtuous brother as a guarantor, I'm afraid my brother would have to stay in Bianjing City and be an idle deputy envoy of Jingling Palace." Brother, in my life, what I want is to fight on the battlefield and shroud in horse leather.
The virtuous brother recommended me to go out with the army, and I was a great favor to my brother.
The virtuous brother is not afraid of being punished, and is willing to guarantee my brother and me, and I am even more kind to my brother.
A mere gift is not enough to repay the kindness of the virtuous brother.
If he can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield one day, my brother and I will definitely write to the court to explain that you have a share of the credit in this. ”
Kou Ji helped Yang Wenguang up and said seriously: "Brother doesn't have to be like this. Others don't know what my brother is capable of, but I do. I just couldn't bear to see my brother stay in Bianjing City, and I wasted a good martial arts, so I recommended my brother to go with the army.
Speaking of which, I recommended my brother to go with the army, which was to let my brother die.
My brother should have scolded me instead of thanking me."
Yang Wenguang shook his head stubbornly.
Kou Ji couldn't resist him and accepted his salute.
After Yang Wenguang bowed deeply, he said sincerely: "Out of Kaifeng Mansion, you will follow my brother and me, and the old man in my mansion will definitely be able to protect you." ”
Kou Ji didn't shirk either, and hugged Yang Wenguang and said, "Then there is Brother Lao, and there are uncles from Lao Yang Mansion." ”
When Yang Wenguang heard this, he laughed, patted Kou Ji's shoulder and said, "Go!" I went with my brother to count the grain and grass. ”
Yang Wenguang knew that Kou Ji had never had experience in the army, nor did he have any experience in counting grain and grass, so he took Kou Ji and taught him how to count the grain and grass in the army, and how to bring enough grain and grass so as not to affect the speed of the army's march.
One teaches, one learns.
Until midnight.
All the grain and grass are loaded.
Yang Wenguang led 10,000 soldiers and 30,000 people to escort a cart of grain and grass out of the barracks.
Kou Ji rode his donkey and followed Yang Wenguang's side.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen carts of things he had brought with him.
Outside the barracks.
I saw Lint's carriage, which was already waiting outside the barracks.
After Yang Wenguang and the soldiers appeared, Lint ordered the groom, drove the carriage, and merged into the crowd of people escorting grain and grass.
When Koji arrived at the gate of the barracks, he took the reins of the donkey,
He looked up to the west and looked at Bianjing City.
Yang Wenguang saw that Kou Ji was stagnant, Le Ma stopped at Kou Ji's side, and asked, "Brother Kou Xian has something on his mind?" ”
Kou Ji grinned and said in a low voice, "No ......"
Yang Wenguang nodded thoughtfully and urged: "Let's go......"
Kou Ji nodded, kicked the donkey's belly, and the donkey slowly moved forward.
and they traveled about a mile.
A fast horse rushed from the rear of the convoy escorting grain and grass.
The person who came seemed to have experience with the army, so he held the torch and reflected the official uniform on his body, so that the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass could see his identity clearly, so as to prevent the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass from thinking that they were enemies and attacking him.
As the horse approached, Kou Ji saw an old face.
When the fast horse arrived in front of Kou Ji, he slowly stopped.
The man on horseback took a burden from his bosom, threw it into Koji's arms, and then, without saying a word, turned the horse's head around and left the place.
The burden smashed into Kou Ji's arms, and Kou Ji almost didn't hold it steady, and almost fell to the ground.
Yang Wenguang tugged on the reins of the horse, watched the fast horse disappear into his eyes in a daze, turned his head to look at Kou Ji, and said suspiciously: "That's ...... Chen Daban by the side of the official family? ”
Kou Ji nodded, casually flipped through the heavy burden, and muttered: "I don't know what that old guy gave me, why is it so heavy......"
When I lifted the baggage, I saw a set of lined chain mail, which was also inlaid with various colored gemstones.
Above the chain mail, a letter was placed.
Kou Ji picked up the letter without a trace, stuffed it into his arms, and then looked at the chain mail in his baggage.
Yang Wenguang accompanied Kou Ji to look at the chain mail in the baggage, and said in surprise: "This thing is not a vulgar thing at first glance." ”
Of course, Koji knew it wasn't a vulgar thing.
After all, such a thing as being able to set gems on chain mail can only be done in the palace.
Just when Kou Ji and Yang Wenguang looked at the chain mail in Kou Ji's hand, Lin Te's old voice sounded, "The official family is really kind to you, this is the chain mail that the first emperor wore when he inspected the twelve guards. ”
When Kou Ji heard this, he was slightly stunned.
He tightened the package and asked Yang Wenguang with a pout, "Brother Wenguang, I heard that your ancestral home is Linzhou?" ”
Yang Wenguang was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Sort of." What's wrong? ”
Kou Ji asked: "I heard that Linzhou people like vinegar?" ”
Yang Wenguang instantly understood the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words, and laughed in a low voice: "Brother, I don't like it. And there is no vinegar today. ”
Kou Ji sighed and said, "Then why did I smell a sour smell?" ”
When Yang Wenguang heard this, he pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and held back a smile.
When Lint heard this, he scolded angrily: "Shaft! ”
He saw that Yang Wenguang's shoulders were shaking, and added: "Two shafts!" ”
Kou Ji laughed out loud.
Lint angrily threw off the curtain of the carriage, gritted his teeth and ordered the groom to drive the carriage away.
He didn't want to stay with Kou Ji, he was afraid that if he stayed with Kou Ji, he would be angry with Kou Ji.
He wanted to lure Kou Ji into violating one or two military laws, so that he could take the opportunity to punish Kou Ji one or two.
It can be seen that after Zhao Zhen sent Chen Lin to send the chain mail, he extinguished this thought.
If Kou Ji had put on that chain mail when he was marching, he would have been able to stare at Kou Ji dryly.
The thing that the emperor has worn, even if it is a rag, is also a rag with an identity.
No one is allowed to touch it.
Kou Ji and his entourage walked in the moonlight, holding torches, and hurried overnight.
Cold winds, frosts, and beast roars, one after another.
Koji had a first-hand feel for how the ancients marched.
It turns out.
Those so-called oath-takers and expedition documents do not exist.
Even if they exist, they have nothing to do with the soldiers and horses who escort the grain and grass.
Because they are the ones who paid silently in the war.
There was no them when the oath was read, and there were no them when the conscription was read again, and there were no them when bathing in the emperor's grace.
Kou Ji and his entourage traveled ten miles to a post station.
After laying down enough food for 100,000 soldiers to eat and a dozen soldiers guarding the food, they set out on the road to transport food.
Line after line.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the second post station.
As soon as he put down the grain and was about to pull it out, he saw Lin Te send someone over and shout to Yang Wenguang.
"General Yang, what my family supervisor means is to rest here for a while and then hurry."
Yang Wenguang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Now is the time for frost, and it is not appropriate to stay." If the grain is damp because of this, there is no way to eat it. And according to the speed of the march, they will surely reach forty miles to-morrow.
We need to be sent to the fifth post station before we can rest. ”
As for why there is an additional post station, Yang Wenguang did not explain.
But everyone who hears his words understands what he means.
This is also done to prevent problems before they happen.
In the unlikely event that the war at the front is tight and a hurried march is required, the food supply cannot keep up, and it is easy to delay the hour.
The old servant of the Lin Mansion had a gloomy face and said in a low voice: "But my family is ...... prison."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Your family can't bear it?" ”
The old servant of the Lin Mansion hesitated for a moment and nodded stiffly.
Kou Ji said indifferently: "Then let your family prison rest here for a day, and catch up with me tomorrow." ”
The old servant of the Lin Mansion hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I have to ask my family supervisor about this matter, and then make a decision." ”
Yang Wenguang and Kou Ji glanced at each other.
Kou Ji said lightly: "Go and return quickly, we don't have time to wait." ”
The old servant of the Lin Mansion agreed, and hurried to the front of Lint's carriage.
He carefully told Lint what Yang Wenguang had said.
Lint was in the carriage, coughed, and said angrily, "Then continue on your way." ”
The old servant of the Lin Mansion said nervously: "But master, your body is ......."
Lint said in a deep voice: "A little bump, don't get in the way......"
There was silence for a moment, and Lint's voice rang out from the carriage again.
"Those who repair the official roads deserve to die. The official road should not be bumpy to drive, but the old man has only been out of Bianjing City for less than ten miles, and he has encountered no less than 100 bumps along the way......"
After complaining, Lin Te passed a message to the old servant of the Lin Mansion, "Go and pass the word quickly......
The old servant of the Lin Mansion nodded, hurried to Yang Wenguang and Kou Ji's side, and conveyed Linte's meaning to them.
Yang Wenguang immediately ordered the march to continue.
By the time the march had reached fifty miles, it was already the morning of the next day.
Yang Wenguang ordered the soldiers to bury the pot to make rice, and after the soldiers and the people had a full meal, they snuggled up to each other and slept against the thick meadow in winter.
The humidity was a bit heavy in the morning, and the meadow was also wet.
But the soldiers and the people didn't care about this, they were busy all night, and they were already sleepy, so they fell asleep.
Until noon.
Yang Wenguang woke them up, and after lunch, they continued on their way.
And they went on another fifty miles.
I was busy until the second watch in the middle of the night, and then I arrived at the second resting place.
And so on.
Four days later.
The team escorting the grain and grass returned to their normal work and rest time.
After the team returned to their normal schedule, it was much easier to hurry.
Lint, the old man, actually gave up the warm carriage and chose to ride on the horse like Yang Wenguang.
After he got on the horse, he also used the excuse to go to Kou Ji's side and laugh at Kou Ji.
said that Kou Ji rode a donkey, which was nondescript in the army, affecting the appearance of the army.
When Kou Ji asked him why he didn't have a warm carriage.
Lint rode his horse and walked away.
The team escorting grain and grass went out of the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion and went all the way along the line of Zhengzhou, Xiangzhou, and Xingzhou to Zhending Mansion.
On the sixth day, the procession had to stop.
Because something big happened, something big.
A major event that must be reported to Cao Wei and brought forward by Cao Wei.
Lint fell into the ditch.
After the team escorting grain and grass entered the official road in the mountains of Zhengzhou, Lin Te rolled down from the ditch next to the official road.
Kou Ji and Yang Wenguang began to investigate the matter after they led someone to carry Lint up from the ditch.
After many verifications by the two of them, no traces of man-made were found.
Cuncui was the horse that Lint was riding, a weed that was still blooming in winter on the edge of the gully, and accidentally let Lint fall off his horse and roll down the ditch.
After this matter was informed to Cao Wei.
Cao Wei threw off the army, led his son Cao Wei, and quickly caught up with Kou Ji and his party.
In the post station at the junction of Zhengzhou and Xiangzhou.
The imperial doctor brought by Cao Wei was in the room to treat Linte.
Outside.
Cao Wei had a dark face, stared at Kou Ji and Yang Wenguang, and said in a deep voice: "Who did it?" ”
Although Cao Wei was questioning the two of them, his eyes fell on Kou Ji and he refused to leave.
Yang Wenguang is considered to have grown up with him, and he understands Yang Wenguang's temperament.
Yang Wenguang couldn't do such a bold thing.
He seemed to be questioning Yang Wenguang, but he was actually questioning Kou Ji.
Kou Ji was stared at by Cao Wei, and spread his hands helplessly, saying, "It's useless to see me, I haven't done anything." ”
