Chapter 624: Wooing

Li Mu and Lin Zhong will come to him at this time, Ye Qing doesn't have to guess, they all know the intention of the two of them, and they are definitely not here to please themselves.

In addition to the upright character of the two, the two of them were unwilling to make a fortune with Yang Jian, and Yang Jian was also afraid that the village would be too ruthless, and these two people would make a big deal about it, so this made the Huaiyang Army and the Gaoyou Army led by the two of them able to maintain about 4,000 people.

Tonight, the two of them went directly to the Slanting Wind and Drizzle Building to find themselves, the purpose was very simple, that is, to let Ye Qing, the pacification envoy who had just arrived today, replenish the 2,000 people who were missing from the two cantonment armies on the two roads.

There were no polite words, and after Ye Qing asked them to say that it was okay, the two directly proposed supplements about weapons, grain and grass, and soldiers.

Because of the uprightness of the two, after finishing speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and Zhao Shichun even regretted that he shouldn't have participated in it, but should have let Ye Qing talk to them alone, and he shouldn't have sat here by himself and listened to the rights and wrongs of these Huainan East Road officialdoms.

The expressions of several other officials were also a little embarrassed, Lord Ye had just taken office, and these two people immediately ran over to embarrass Lord Ye, which was obviously to make Lord Ye, who had just arrived, ugly.

Zhao Shichun looked a little embarrassed, and even looked at Ye Qing with a hint of nervousness, only to see that Ye Qing was still smiling very easy-going, looking at Li Mu and Lin Zhong and said, "Then what do the two commanders think I, a newcomer, can do for you?" Is it to play the court, or to help you replenish what the two armies under your command lack? By the way, I would like to ask the two commanders a question, what would they do if they were me? ”

"This ...... The last general doesn't understand, the last general only knows that Lord Ye is now the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, and the garrison army is the heavy army of my Great Song Dynasty to resist Jin. Lin Zhong glanced at Li Mu, and then said a little hesitantly.

Ye Qing's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and after sighing, he looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "The two commanders arrived on my first day, so I asked me to replenish the soldiers and materials that you lacked. But I want to ask you, at the beginning of the two armies of Huaiyang and Gaoyou, did they have such a lack of soldiers and materials? If there is, then we can discuss it well in the future, but if not, I, Ye Qing, have to suspect that the two commanders are here today for fear that I will blame you in the future because of the lack of soldiers and materials in the Huaiyang and Gaoyou armies? So let's make a first move, do you want to shirk responsibility? ”

Suddenly, Li Mu and Lin Zhong stood up instantly, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Lord Ye, the last general has no intention of ...... this." ”

Ye Qing didn't wait for Li Mu to finish speaking, then stood up and stretched out his hand to stop Li Mu's explanation.

Ye Qing is still very clear about the situation of the five-way army on Huainan East Road, when Yu Yunwen was in Yangzhou, the five-way garrison army can be described as strong and strong, but with the arrival of Yang Jian, everything has changed, which also makes the current Huainan East Road garrison army, and the combat power began to decline seriously.

After walking up to the two of them and patting them on the shoulder, Ye Qing continued to say slowly: "Of course Ye knows the difficulties of the Huaiyang and Gaoyou armies, but ...... What do you think I should do? ”

Although he seemed to be asking Li Mu and Lin Zhong, Ye Qing's eyes were looking at the two officials named Chen Cishan and Yang Huaizhi, and the meaning of the school examination was that even the blind could see it.

Chen Cishan and Yang Huaizhi looked at Ye Qing and looked at the two of them, and they were all shocked in their hearts, and their expressions also showed inexplicable excitement, but when they thought that this matter was not only a matter of military affairs, but also involved a wide range of things and extremely complicated, to put it bluntly, it was not a problem of lack of people or materials.

It seems that there is a lack of troops stationed in the five roads, but behind it is actually the interests of the officialdom on Huainan East Road, and the personnel involved, none of which the two of them can afford to provoke, nor can the new appeasement make the adults solve in a day or two.

The new pacification envoy is not familiar with the place, and he will obviously never be very familiar with the officialdom of Huainan East Road, as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the new pacification envoy who has just arrived is impossible to stand out for the two armies for no reason before he finds out the situation, and offends others inexplicably, isn't it?

At that moment, Chen Cishan smiled bitterly, stood up, and said with a somewhat guilty expression: "My lord, the lower official...... There is nothing the lower officials can do, this matter is extremely wide-ranging, and if you want to eradicate it, you need to think about it in the long run, and it is by no means something that can be solved by recruiting troops. ”

After Yang Huaizhi heard what Chen Cishan said, he immediately said: "My lord, the shortage of the army stationed in the Wulu Tun has been around for a long time, and if you really want to solve this matter, you still need the support of the imperial court." ”

The two of them also spoke extremely uprightly, and they didn't give Ye Qing any face to this appeasement, and the implication was as follows: Adults think too much, and when they first arrive, it's better to stand firm first, and it's better to leave this matter to the imperial court.

"Do you hear that? Even a prison governor and a transport director can see clearly, but the two commanders can't see clearly? Or do you think that I, a newcomer to appeasement, am so foolish that just two of you will take care of this matter on me? Ye Qing's expression was not dissatisfied with Chen Cishan and Yang Huaizhi's words, not to mention that what they said was the truth, and it was impossible for him to be able to solve this matter immediately as a newcomer.

Zhao Shichun only knew that Ye Qing was brave and martial back then, and he was able to resist Zhao Shixiong, the pacification envoy at that time, in his mansion, and now it seems that after several years of immersion in the Lin'an court, this person has already gained the way of being an official, and his city government should never be what this age group should have.

Li Mu and Lin Zhong looked a little embarrassed, looking at Ye Qing, who was standing between them and holding his shoulders, they didn't know what to say for a while.

They originally thought that Ye Qing was able to serve as a pacification envoy all the way at such an age, not because of how much ability Ye Qing had, so that he could be trusted by the imperial court, so that he could be appointed as a pacification envoy.

In their opinion, Ye Qing's ability to serve as a pacification envoy was entirely because of the support of the Emperor Taishang and the Holy Lord.

So in the eyes of the two of them, the young Ye Qing is the best to use, as long as the two of them are more respectful and say a few flattering words, the young pacifier who has just arrived and is full of spirit, in order to take care of his face as a pacifier, will inevitably wave his hand and take this matter on him.

In this way, the two of them can justifiably urge the adults to appease and replenish the troops and supplies for their garrison army every day.

But unexpectedly, Ye Qing didn't give them this opportunity at all, not only didn't he even give them the opportunity to be alone, but he even had a drink with a few officials who didn't even care about themselves!

But since the two of them had already come, they couldn't say that they had come to celebrate, so they could only bite the bullet and say what they requested.

"Who gave you the idea behind the two of you? With the personalities of the two of you, how could you come to welcome me as a pacifier? And also made up that Liu Zhizhou did not notify you of my arrival, so since I didn't know when I arrived at Yangzhou Wharf, how could I know that I would appear in the Slanting Wind and Drizzle Building? Ye Qing patted the shoulders of the two of them again, motioned for them to sit down, and then walked back to his position, letting Chen Cishan and Yang Huaizhi, who had been standing, also sit down.

"My lord, it was the last two generals who followed the adults all the way." Li Mu, who didn't know how nervous he was on the battlefield, began to become a little nervous in the face of Ye Qing's deep eyes at this moment, his palms were already full of sweat at this time, and he kept secretly wiping his clothes.

Ye Qing sneered, and before he could speak, Lin Zhong on the side hurriedly helped: "My lord, what the last general said is true, it is indeed following the adult, of course, the last general knows that this is wrong, please punish the adult." ”

"And where did you follow me from?" Ye Qing was neither anxious nor annoyed, and continued to ask relaxedly.

"Naturally, it starts tracking from an adult's home." Lin Zhong said again.

"Oh? So where does my family live? Ye Qing continued to ask.

He didn't worry at all that someone would know where he came to the Slanting Wind Drizzle Building, if Broad Beans and Tao Qian had been in Yangzhou for so many years, and they couldn't even help themselves break off, he would have already thrown them into the river to feed Wang Ba.

"It's ......." Lin Zhong was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Li Mu.

And Li Mu couldn't lower his head any lower, and he didn't even have the courage to look at Ye Qing.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. Tell Yu Yunwen that I will solve the mess that Yang Jian threw down, and let him do a solid errand on Lizhou Road with peace of mind. As for the two of you today, I don't care about you anymore, where you go back and forth, and it is enough to take care of the only remaining people of you. Ye Qing said as he glanced at Zhao Shichun.

Zhao Shichun suddenly realized, while Li Mu and Lin Zhong were taken aback, and involuntarily looked up at Ye Qing, completely unexpected, Ye Qing actually knew that the mastermind behind them was Yu Yunwen.

"Don't be surprised, Yu Yunwen didn't tell you a lot of things. When Yu Yunwen left Huainan East Road, the two of you were just deputy commanders, and now you can sit smoothly in the direct position of commander, which is already burning high incense, otherwise depending on the careful thinking of the two of you, you will be offended by a few appeasement envoys. Ye Qing said with a relaxed smile.

And this is also the information that Li Heng gave him the note at the beginning, Xu Fan, Li Mu, and Lin Zhong can all fight for it, but Li Mu and Lin Zhong are afraid that they can easily convince him, the commander of the Imperial City Division, not to mention, when they were in the Shenjin Army, they were just a small team officer.

And what Yu Yunwen was able to help Ye Qing was to take the initiative to push the two of them to Ye Qing on the grounds that the Huaiyang Army and the Gaoyou Army were insufficient, and then everything that followed depended on what Ye Qing did himself.
